>> FROM ARCADIA,
CALIFORNIA, "THE CARTER REPORT"
00:00:07.66\00:00:10.10
PRESENTS "THE LIVING
WORD" AROUND THE WORLD.
00:00:10.10\00:00:13.60
>> HELLO, FRIEND.
00:00:18.66\00:00:19.73
I'M JOHN CARTER, STANDING ON
THE BANKS OF THE KAZAN RIVER.
00:00:19.73\00:00:24.76
THAT'S A TRIBUTARY OF
THE MIGHTY VOLGA RIVER
00:00:24.76\00:00:28.76
IN THE LAND OF RUSSIA.
00:00:28.76\00:00:31.06
THIS IS THE CITY OF
KAZAN, THE CAPITAL OF TATARSTAN,
00:00:31.06\00:00:35.93
A MUSLIM REPUBLIC OF
THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION.
00:00:35.93\00:00:40.13
WE ARE HERE BY THE SHEER GRACE
OF GOD AND WE SAY GLORY BE TO
00:00:40.13\00:00:45.93
GOD FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY
BECAUSE DURING THE YEAR 2008,
00:00:45.93\00:00:51.46
THE CARTER REPORT TEAM,
ONCE AGAIN BY THE GRACE OF GOD,
00:00:51.46\00:00:55.20
BAPTIZED HUNDREDS
OF MUSLIMS INTO CHRIST
00:00:55.20\00:00:59.56
IN FRONT OF THE MUSLIM MOSQUE.
00:00:59.56\00:01:02.66
PEOPLE SAID IT COULD
NEVER HAPPEN, BUT REMEMBER THIS,
00:01:02.66\00:01:07.06
GOD IS GREAT.
00:01:07.06\00:01:08.86
AND JESUS SAID, "WITH
GOD, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE."
00:01:08.86\00:01:15.00
I WANT TO THANK YOU TODAY
FOR YOUR MARVELOUS SUPPORT,
00:01:15.00\00:01:18.90

US IN THE PREACHING OF
00:01:18.90\00:01:22.10
THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL.

00:01:30.86\00:01:39.60
WE'RE NOT GIVING UP ON RUSSIA.
00:01:39.60\00:01:41.33
NEITHER SHOULD YOU.
00:01:41.33\00:01:42.93

THOUSAND OAKS, CALIFORNIA 91358.
00:01:56.23\00:02:00.83
SUPPORT US IN THIS GREAT WORK.
00:02:00.83\00:02:03.66
PRAY FOR RUSSIA AND THANK YOU.
00:02:03.66\00:02:07.20
IN JESUS' NAME, MAY
GOD RICHLY BLESS YOU.
00:02:07.20\00:02:13.46
>> THE TOPIC TODAY IS
00:02:19.83\00:02:19.90
"SHOULD WE PRAY TO THE DEAD?"
00:02:20.96\00:02:23.03
LOTS OF PEOPLE DO IN
THIS PART OF THE WORLD.
00:02:23.03\00:02:26.03
IN FACT, MORE THAN A
BILLION PEOPLE PRAY TO THE DEAD.
00:02:26.03\00:02:29.40
AND SHOULD WE PRAY FOR THE DEAD?
00:02:29.40\00:02:33.23
MORE THAN A BILLION
PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT OUR PRAYERS
00:02:33.23\00:02:36.30
SOMEHOW WORK FOR DEAD PEOPLE.
00:02:36.30\00:02:38.70
BUT IS THERE ANY SENSE IN
PRAYING FOR DEAD PEOPLE, AS
00:02:38.70\00:02:43.06
MORE THAN A BILLION PEOPLE DO?
00:02:43.06\00:02:45.63
THE PURPOSE OF THIS
TALK IS TO ANSWER, HOPEFULLY,
00:02:45.70\00:02:49.30
THESE QUESTIONS.
00:02:49.30\00:02:52.36
WHERE ARE THE DEAD?
00:02:52.36\00:02:56.66
NOW, THIS TALK TODAY GOES
AGAINST CONVENTIONAL WISDOM
00:02:56.66\00:03:00.43
AT LEAST IN THE RELIGIOUS WORLD.
00:03:00.43\00:03:03.60
BECAUSE VIRTUALLY EVERYBODY
BELIEVES THAT THE DEAD TODAY
00:03:03.60\00:03:05.53
ARE IN HEAVEN OR IN HELL,
00:03:05.53\00:03:07.86
THOUGH THEY DON'T THINK
TOO MANY ARE IN HELL OBVIOUSLY.
00:03:11.30\00:03:14.36
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO A
FUNERAL WHERE THE MINISTER SAID,
00:03:14.36\00:03:17.33
"OUR BELOVED LOVED ONE WHO
HAS PASSED AWAY IS NOW IN HELL"?
00:03:17.33\00:03:23.90
WELL, YOU KNOW, THAT
JUST SORT OF WOULDN'T FLY,
00:03:23.90\00:03:27.23
IT WOULDN'T HELP THE CHURCH
OFFERINGS, THAT'S FOR SURE.
00:03:27.23\00:03:30.16
SO WHERE ARE THE DEAD?
00:03:30.16\00:03:31.53
ARE THEY IN HEAVEN?
00:03:31.53\00:03:32.60
ARE THEY IN HELL?
00:03:32.60\00:03:33.90
OR, AS THE CATHOLICS
SAY, ARE THEY IN PURGATORY?
00:03:33.90\00:03:36.40
WHERE ARE THE SAINTS?
00:03:37.66\00:03:41.40
NOW, A VAST NUMBER OF PEOPLE,
AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, MORE
00:03:41.40\00:03:45.50
THAN A BILLION PEOPLE, SAY
THAT WE CAN PRAY TO THE DEAD,
00:03:45.50\00:03:52.70
WE CAN PRAY TO THE SAINTS,
WE CAN PRAY TO PEOPLE LIKE
00:03:52.70\00:03:57.36
THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY.
00:03:57.36\00:03:59.50
IN FACT, THE BLESSED VIRGIN
MARY WILL INTERCEDE FOR US.
00:03:59.50\00:04:04.23
I WAS READING A BIG BOOK LAST
NIGHT THAT'S WRITTEN TO A GROUP
00:04:04.23\00:04:10.13
OF PEOPLE WHO ARE DISTINCT.
00:04:10.13\00:04:12.30
IN FACT IT WAS WRITTEN TO ROMAN
CATHOLIC NUNS, AND IT TELLS
00:04:12.30\00:04:16.66
THEM HOW THEY OUGHT TO PRAY.
00:04:16.66\00:04:18.36
IT'S A BOOK THIS THICK WITH
LITTLE PRINT ON HOW TO LIVE AND
00:04:18.36\00:04:24.06
IT TELLS THEM HOW THEY OUGHT TO
PRAY, ESPECIALLY TO THE BLESSED
00:04:24.06\00:04:27.76
VIRGIN MARY BECAUSE SHE'S
THERE TO INTERCEDE FOR THEM.
00:04:27.76\00:04:32.00
THIS RAISES ANOTHER QUESTION.
00:04:32.00\00:04:35.60
IS THERE SALVATION AFTER DEATH?
00:04:35.60\00:04:41.50
IS THERE ANY SENSE IN
PRAYING FOR A PERSON IF HIS FATE
00:04:41.50\00:04:46.26
IS SEALED AT DEATH?
00:04:46.26\00:04:48.46
NOW, LOTS OF PEOPLE SAY
YES BECAUSE A PERSON'S FATE
00:04:48.46\00:04:51.70
IS NOT SEALED WHEN YOU DIE.
00:04:51.70\00:04:54.16
IS IT SO?
00:04:54.16\00:04:55.76
AND SO THEY SAY, "IT'S A GOOD
AND A HOLY THING TO PRAY FOR
00:04:55.76\00:05:00.33
THE SOULS OF THE DEAD."
00:05:00.33\00:05:03.16
SO, WE'RE GOING TO
ANSWER THAT QUESTION.
00:05:03.16\00:05:05.36
IN FACT, THE ANSWER
TO "WHERE ARE THE DEAD?"
00:05:05.36\00:05:08.43
WE'LL ANSWER THAT QUESTION.
00:05:08.43\00:05:10.00
IS THERE SALVATION AFTER DEATH?
00:05:10.00\00:05:12.06
NOW THE BIBLE DOES TEACH
VERY PLAINLY THERE IS LIFE AFTER
00:05:12.06\00:05:16.00
DEATH.
00:05:16.00\00:05:17.30
I WANT YOU TO COME
TO 1 THESSALONIANS 4:16,
00:05:17.30\00:05:22.70
1 THESSALONIANS 4:16.
00:05:22.70\00:05:29.53
1 THESSALONIANS 4:16,
WRITTEN BY THE GREAT ST. PAUL.
00:05:29.53\00:05:37.33
HE SAYS, "FOR THE LORD HIMSELF
WILL COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, WITH
00:05:37.33\00:05:41.20
A LOUD COMMAND, WITH THE
VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL AND
00:05:41.20\00:05:45.66
WITH THE TRUMPET CALL OF
GOD, AND THE DEAD IN CHRIST
00:05:45.66\00:05:48.83
WILL RISE FIRST."
00:05:48.83\00:05:50.86
IT'S RATHER
EXTRAORDINARY, ISN'T IT?
00:05:50.86\00:05:53.10
CAN YOU THINK ABOUT IT?
00:05:53.10\00:05:55.50
THE APOSTLE PAUL
SAID, "THE LORD HIMSELF
00:05:55.50\00:05:57.56
WILL COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN."
00:05:57.56\00:05:58.83
THAT'S JESUS.
00:05:58.83\00:06:00.90
WELL, "HE'S GOING TO
COME BACK TO THIS PLANET."
00:06:00.90\00:06:03.10
PAUL SAID, "HE'S GOING
TO COME BACK TO THIS PLANET
00:06:03.10\00:06:06.93
WITH THE VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL
WITH THE TRUMPET OF GOD."
00:06:06.93\00:06:09.90
SO IT'S GOING TO
BE VERY, VERY LOUD.
00:06:09.90\00:06:13.16
AND PAUL SAID, "THE DEAD IN
CHRIST ARE GOING TO COME FORTH."
00:06:13.16\00:06:18.23
THAT'S HARD TO BELIEVE IF YOU'VE
TAKEN AS MANY FUNERALS AS I HAVE
00:06:18.23\00:06:23.40
BECAUSE WHEN A
PERSON IS DEAD, HE'S DEAD.
00:06:23.40\00:06:28.83
BUT THE BIBLE SAYS
THAT THE DEAD IN CHRIST--
00:06:28.83\00:06:31.00
THOSE WHO DIED TRUE
BELIEVERS, NOT PRETENDERS,
00:06:31.00\00:06:36.73
BUT HE SAID, "THOSE WHO
DIED WITH THEIR FAITH IN CHRIST
00:06:36.73\00:06:40.46
ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO
COME FORTH OUT OF THE GRAVE."
00:06:40.46\00:06:44.30
AND THEY'RE NOT GOING TO
COME FORTH AS THEY WENT DOWN,
00:06:44.30\00:06:47.10
SICK AND OLD WITH ALL SORTS
OF INFIRMITIES, THEY'RE GOING TO
00:06:47.10\00:06:52.33
COME FORTH WITH IMMORTAL BODIES
AND THEY WILL NEVER, NEVER
00:06:52.33\00:06:57.16
DIE AGAIN.
00:06:57.16\00:06:59.26
THEREFORE, I DO
BELIEVE IN LIFE AFTER DEATH.
00:06:59.26\00:07:03.60
I ALSO BELIEVE, AND I
BETTER BELIEVE IT AND YOU BETTER
00:07:03.60\00:07:06.73
BELIEVE IT TOO, THAT THE
CHRISTIAN'S ONLY AUTHORITY
00:07:06.73\00:07:10.16
IS THE TEACHINGS
FOUND IN THE BIBLE.
00:07:10.16\00:07:13.73
I WANT YOU TO TAKE YOUR
BIBLE AND TURN OVER HERE TO
00:07:13.73\00:07:15.63
ISAIAH 8:19-20.
00:07:15.63\00:07:18.66
BOOK OF ISAIAH 8:19-20.
00:07:18.66\00:07:24.50
ISAIAH 8:19-20.
00:07:24.50\00:07:30.03
HAVE YOU GOT THE TEXT?
00:07:30.03\00:07:31.33
ISAIAH 8:19-20.
00:07:31.33\00:07:35.90
THE BIBLE SAYS, "WHEN MEN
TELL YOU TO CONSULT MEDIUMS
00:07:35.90\00:07:40.40
AND SPIRITISTS," DOES
THAT-- HEY, BEFORE WE GO ON,
00:07:40.40\00:07:44.33
CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION?
00:07:44.33\00:07:45.60
DOES THAT HAPPEN IN AMERICA?
00:07:45.60\00:07:48.30
HAVE YOU SEEN IT?
00:07:48.30\00:07:50.60
YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO
TO THE SEANCE CHAMBER,
00:07:50.60\00:07:53.00
WHERE DO YOU SEE IT?
00:07:53.00\00:07:55.50
BY, BLESS YOUR HEARTS,
YOU SEE IT ON TELEVISION.
00:07:55.50\00:07:58.56
YOU SEE SOME GUY AND HE SAYS, "I
CAN TELL YOU ALL ABOUT YOUR DEAD
00:07:58.56\00:08:04.43
LOVED ONES BECAUSE I'M GOING
TO INVITE THEIR SPIRITS HERE
00:08:04.43\00:08:07.80
TODAY."
00:08:07.80\00:08:09.16
AND YOU GOT FOLKS SITTING THERE
WITH THEIR MOUTHS THIS WIDE
00:08:09.16\00:08:13.20
BECAUSE HE'S GIVING THEM
INFORMATION THAT HE--THAT
00:08:13.20\00:08:16.70
YOU COULDN'T GET ANYWHERE ELSE.
00:08:16.70\00:08:19.40
AND SO PEOPLE GO ALONG TO THE
SEANCE CHAMBER AND PEOPLE WATCH
00:08:19.40\00:08:24.03
THIS STUFF ON TELEVISION
BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE THAT
00:08:24.03\00:08:27.53
THE DEAD ARE NOT DEAD,
THAT THE DEAD ARE REALLY ALIVE.
00:08:27.53\00:08:30.90
SO LOOK AT THIS TEXT.
00:08:30.90\00:08:33.23
"WHEN MEN TELL YOU TO CONSULT
MEDIUMS AND SPIRITISTS, WHO
00:08:33.23\00:08:38.20
WHISPER AND MUTTER, SHOULD NOT
A PEOPLE INQUIRE OF THEIR GOD?"
00:08:38.20\00:08:44.70
THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
00:08:44.70\00:08:46.63
"WHY CONSULT THE DEAD
ON BEHALF OF THE LIVING?
00:08:46.63\00:08:51.30
TO THE LAW AND TO THE TESTIMONY!
00:08:51.30\00:08:54.06
IF THEY DO NOT SPEAK ACCORDING
TO THIS WORD, THEY HAVE
00:08:54.06\00:08:57.50
NO LIGHT OF DAWN."
00:08:57.50\00:09:00.40
SO, I WANT YOU
TO TAKE YOUR BIBLE.
00:09:00.40\00:09:05.50
YOU GOT YOUR BIBLE?
00:09:05.50\00:09:06.90
I WANT YOU TO HOLD
IT UP, JUST LIKE THIS.
00:09:06.90\00:09:10.43
I WANT YOU TO SAY THESE WORDS.
00:09:10.43\00:09:12.40
YOU KNOW WHAT'S COMING?
00:09:12.40\00:09:14.56
THIS IS MY BIBLE.
00:09:14.56\00:09:16.40
>> THIS IS MY BIBLE.
00:09:16.40\00:09:17.46
>> THIS IS GOD'S WORD.
00:09:17.46\00:09:19.36
>> THIS IS GOD'S WORD.
00:09:19.36\00:09:20.90
>> GOD HAS A
MESSAGE FOR ME TODAY.
00:09:20.90\00:09:24.16
>> GOD HAS A
MESSAGE FOR ME TODAY.
00:09:24.16\00:09:26.46
>> HIS WORD WILL
GIVE ME EVERLASTING LIFE.
00:09:26.46\00:09:30.03
>> HIS WORD WILL
GIVE ME EVERLASTING LIFE.
00:09:30.03\00:09:32.96
>> AND MAKE ME A BETTER PERSON.
00:09:32.96\00:09:35.56
>> AND MAKE ME A BETTER PERSON.
00:09:35.56\00:09:37.03
>> I NOW OPEN MY HEART.
00:09:37.03\00:09:38.46
>> I NOW OPEN MY HEART.
00:09:38.46\00:09:40.20
>> TO RECEIVE GOD'S WORD.
00:09:40.20\00:09:41.36
>> TO RECEIVE GOD'S WORD.
00:09:41.36\00:09:42.73
>> SO THIS IS THE AUTHORITY.
00:09:42.73\00:09:46.06
NOW, I CAN
PROMISE YOU ONE THING.
00:09:46.06\00:09:50.83
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO
WRITE TO ME AFTER THIS TELECAST
00:09:50.83\00:09:53.56
AND THEY'RE GOING TO SAY, "WE
DON'T BELIEVE A WORD YOU SAID."
00:09:53.56\00:09:57.60
IN FACT, I DON'T WANT THEM
TO BELIEVE A WORD I'M GOING
00:09:57.60\00:10:00.86
TO SAY TODAY.
00:10:00.86\00:10:01.70
I WANT THEM TO
BELIEVE THE WORD OF GOD.
00:10:01.70\00:10:05.10
AND SO THE BIBLE IS OUR
AUTHORITY, NOT THE CHURCH.
00:10:05.10\00:10:09.83
WHY IS THE CHURCH
NOT OUR AUTHORITY?
00:10:09.83\00:10:14.70
WHY IS THE CHURCH--COME ON.
00:10:14.70\00:10:17.23
WHY IS THE CHURCH
NOT OUR AUTHORITY?
00:10:17.23\00:10:20.53
BECAUSE THE
CHURCH MAKES MISTAKES.
00:10:20.53\00:10:24.86
AND THE CHURCH--I'M TALKING
ABOUT THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
00:10:24.86\00:10:27.63
THE CHURCH HAS CHANGED ITS
MIND ON THINGS OVER AND OVER
00:10:27.63\00:10:31.60
AND OVER AGAIN.
00:10:31.60\00:10:34.20
SO THE CHURCH IS NOT MY
AUTHORITY, NEITHER THE POPE.
00:10:34.20\00:10:39.76
NOW IS THAT BEING
DEROGATORY OF THE POPE?
00:10:39.76\00:10:43.23
NO.
00:10:43.23\00:10:45.56
I THINK THE POPE IS A SINNER
WHO NEEDS THE GRACE OF GOD
00:10:45.56\00:10:50.30
THE SAME AS I DO.
00:10:50.30\00:10:53.16
I BELIEVE HE'S A POOR,
FALLEN SINNER AND I BELIEVE HE'S
00:10:53.16\00:10:59.20
AS FALLIBLE AS ANY OTHER SINNER
ON THE FACE OF THIS EARTH.
00:10:59.20\00:11:05.16
AND THAT'S NOT SAYING
ANYTHING BAD ABOUT THE POPE,
00:11:05.16\00:11:07.66
IT'S JUST TELLING YOU THE TRUTH.
00:11:07.66\00:11:09.30
SO THE POPE IS NOT MY AUTHORITY,
THE CHURCH IS NOT MY AUTHORITY,
00:11:09.30\00:11:14.93
AND SOME MINISTER
IS NOT MY AUTHORITY.
00:11:14.93\00:11:19.93
YOU KNOW WHY?
00:11:19.93\00:11:21.43
BECAUSE MINISTERS, LIKE
THE POPE, ARE SINNERS STANDING
00:11:21.43\00:11:28.13
IN NEED OF THE GRACE OF GOD.
00:11:28.13\00:11:30.76
AND JUST BECAUSE A GUY IS AT
THE FRONT AND TELLING YOU LOTS
00:11:30.76\00:11:34.53
OF FUNNY STORIES, THAT DOESN'T
MEAN THAT HE'S INFALLIBLE.
00:11:34.53\00:11:38.10
NOW I KNOW TODAY THAT
BIBLE PREACHING, ESPECIALLY IN
00:11:38.10\00:11:41.26
AMERICA, IS NOT VERY POPULAR.
00:11:41.26\00:11:45.30
DID YOU KNOW THAT?
00:11:45.30\00:11:46.56
SOMEBODY CAME TO US, DID
I TELL YOU THIS LAST WEEK?
00:11:46.56\00:11:49.36
AND SAID, "HEY, I'VE JUST
FOUND A GREAT NEW CHURCH."
00:11:49.36\00:11:52.40
"WHY IS IT GREAT?"
00:11:52.40\00:11:53.23
"OH, THE PASTOR'S A COMEDIAN.
00:11:53.23\00:11:57.43
HE HAS THE CONGREGATION
ROLLING IN THE AISLES.
00:11:57.43\00:12:00.46
HE'S A FUNNY MAN."
00:12:00.46\00:12:04.13
I WONDER IF THE PEOPLE WILL BE
LAUGHING, I WONDER IF HE'LL BE
00:12:04.13\00:12:08.03
LAUGHING WHEN WE GET A TSUNAMI
AND AN 8.9 ON THE RICHTER SCALE.
00:12:08.03\00:12:14.03
YOU KNOW WHY A MINISTER
IS PAID OUT OF THE TITHE?
00:12:14.03\00:12:18.73
HE IS PAID TO PREACH THE WORD OF
GOD AND NOT TO PREACH HIMSELF.
00:12:18.73\00:12:25.46
SO, NOT THE
PRIEST AND NOT THE RABBI.
00:12:25.46\00:12:32.03
WHY IS THE RABBI
NOT THE AUTHORITY?
00:12:32.03\00:12:34.13
BECAUSE THE RABBI IS A SINNER
STANDING IN NEED OF THE GRACE
00:12:34.13\00:12:38.90
OF GOD AND IN NEED OF CHRIST.
00:12:38.90\00:12:43.60
AND SO THIS BRINGS ME BACK,
THE BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD.
00:12:43.60\00:12:46.80
NOW YOU SAY TO ME,
"BUT, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
00:12:46.80\00:12:50.16
I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT
ORDINARY PEOPLE, LAY PEOPLE,
00:12:50.16\00:12:52.93
ARE TOO DUMB."
00:12:52.93\00:12:55.33
HOW DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL?
00:12:55.33\00:12:57.56
THERE ARE PEOPLE
WHO BELIEVE THIS STUFF.
00:12:57.56\00:13:01.20
I TAKE IT AS AN
INSULT FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD.
00:13:01.20\00:13:04.40
THEY TALK ABOUT,
"WELL, WE'RE THE CLERGY
00:13:04.40\00:13:07.10
AND THEY'RE THE LAITY.
00:13:07.10\00:13:10.00
THEY PAY AND WE PRAY."
00:13:10.00\00:13:14.30
THAT IS A ROMAN CATHOLIC
DISTINCTION, IT IS NOT TAUGHT
00:13:14.30\00:13:18.20
IN THE BIBLE.
00:13:18.20\00:13:20.10
THE BIBLE KNOWS NOTHING
ABOUT A CLERGY AND A LAITY OR
00:13:20.10\00:13:26.00
TWO CLASSES IN THE CHURCH.
00:13:26.00\00:13:27.96
WELL, IT DOES KNOW ABOUT
TWO CLASSES IN THE CHURCH,
00:13:27.96\00:13:31.00
THE SHEEP AND THE GOATS.
00:13:31.00\00:13:35.73
BUT IN THE BIBLE, THE WORD
FOR LAITY, THAT IS TRANSLATED
00:13:35.73\00:13:39.70
LAITY, IS SIMPLY THE
WORD THAT MEANS THE PEOPLE.
00:13:39.70\00:13:44.13
AND IN THAT SENSE, I'M A PART
OF THE LAITY, I AM A PART OF
00:13:44.13\00:13:48.23
THE PEOPLE OF GOD AND YOU
ARE A PART OF THE PEOPLE OF GOD.
00:13:48.23\00:13:52.76
AND IF YOU GIVE YOUR LIFE TO
CHRIST AND IF YOU LET THE SPIRIT
00:13:52.76\00:13:56.06
OF GOD COME INTO YOUR
LIFE, THEN YOU CAN UNDERSTAND
00:13:56.06\00:14:00.30
THE SCRIPTURES BECAUSE THE WORD
OF GOD SPEAKS TO EVERY PERSON.
00:14:00.30\00:14:03.40
HOW SAD IT IS THAT PEOPLE
00:14:03.40\00:14:07.56
CLOSE THEIR HEARTS AND
THEIR MINDS TO THE WORD OF GOD.
00:14:09.63\00:14:15.60
WE'RE GOING TO FOLLOW, TODAY,
AN OLD TRIED AND TRUE FORMAT.
00:14:15.60\00:14:22.33
THEY DID THIS BACK IN THE
DAYS OF SOCRATES AND PLATO.
00:14:22.33\00:14:27.00
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
00:14:27.00\00:14:29.40
WE'RE GOING TO ASK A
NUMBER OF PERTINENT QUESTIONS
00:14:29.40\00:14:33.06
AND THEN WE'LL GO TO
THE BIBLE FOR THE ANSWERS.
00:14:33.06\00:14:35.03
THE FIRST QUESTION IS,
DOES MAN HAVE AN IMMORTAL SOUL?
00:14:35.03\00:14:39.43
AS VIRTUALLY
EVERYBODY TELLS ME, HE DOES.
00:14:39.43\00:14:42.03
COME OVER HERE TO
1 TIMOTHY 6:14-16.
00:14:42.03\00:14:45.80
1 TIMOTHY 6:14 AND ONWARDS.
00:14:45.86\00:14:54.43
1 TIMOTHY 6:14 AND ONWARDS.
00:14:54.43\00:15:02.36
PAUL SAYS, LOOKING FOR THE TEXT,
VERSE 14, "TO KEEP THIS COMMAND
00:15:02.36\00:15:06.80
WITHOUT SPOT OR BLAME
UNTIL THE APPEARING OF OUR LORD
00:15:06.80\00:15:10.13
JESUS CHRIST, WHICH GOD WILL
BRING ABOUT IN HIS OWN TIME."
00:15:10.13\00:15:14.10
JESUS IS GOING TO
COME IN GOD'S GOOD TIME.
00:15:14.10\00:15:17.73
"GOD, THE BLESSED AND
ONLY RULER, THE KING OF KINGS
00:15:17.73\00:15:21.10
AND LORD OF LORDS, WHO ALONE,"
SAY IT WITH ME PLEASE, "WHO,"
00:15:21.10\00:15:25.33
COME ON, "WHO ALONE IS IMMORTAL,
WHO ALONE IS IMMORTAL, AND WHO
00:15:25.33\00:15:30.36
LIVES IN UNAPPROACHABLE LIGHT,
WHOM NO MAN HAS SEEN OR CAN SEE.
00:15:30.36\00:15:34.90
TO HIM BE HONOR
AND MIGHT FOREVER.
00:15:34.90\00:15:37.53
AMEN."
00:15:37.53\00:15:38.03
THE BIBLE SAYS,
"GOD ALONE IS IMMORTAL."
00:15:38.03\00:15:43.00
BETTER PUT THAT
UP ON THE BLACKBOARD.
00:15:43.00\00:15:45.36
HERE IT IS.
00:15:45.36\00:15:46.73
THE BIBLE SAYS
GOD-- WHAT DOES IT SAY?
00:15:46.73\00:15:50.86
YEAH, THAT MEANS
HE'S THE ONLY ONE.
00:15:50.86\00:15:53.23
GOD ALONE IS IMMORTAL.
00:15:53.23\00:15:57.50
WELL, BLESS YOUR HEART.
00:15:57.50\00:15:59.30
IF I HAD AN IMMORTAL
SOUL, THAT TEXT WOULD BE WRONG.
00:15:59.30\00:16:06.16
HOW CAN IT BE SAID THAT I'VE GOT
SOMEHOW INSIDE ME AN IMMORTAL
00:16:06.16\00:16:11.23
SOUL AND IT CAN'T DIE?
00:16:11.23\00:16:16.76
THE DOCTRINE OF THE IMMORTALITY
OF THE SOUL IS BELIEVED BY
00:16:16.76\00:16:22.96
EVERY RELIGION IN THE WORLD.
00:16:22.96\00:16:29.86
IT WAS BELIEVED BY THE
BABYLONIANS, THE PERSIANS,
00:16:29.86\00:16:34.03
THE GREEKS, THE ROMANS,
THE EGYPTIANS, THEIR CULTURE
00:16:34.03\00:16:40.20
WAS BASED UPON THE DOCTRINE
OF THE IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL.
00:16:40.20\00:16:45.76
WHEN SOCRATES IS ABOUT TO DRINK
THE FATAL HEMLOCK, HE SAYS TO
00:16:45.76\00:16:51.43
HIS DISCIPLES, "HEY,
DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME BECAUSE
00:16:51.43\00:16:56.43
MY BODY IS A SHELL BUT
MY SOUL LIVES ON FOREVER."
00:16:56.43\00:17:03.26
SO THE DOCTRINE OF THE
IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL
00:17:03.26\00:17:06.16
IS BELIEVED BY EVERY RELIGION
IN THE WORLD WITH ONE NOTABLE
00:17:06.16\00:17:11.06
EXCEPTION, THE
RELIGION OF THE BIBLE.
00:17:11.06\00:17:15.16
BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS,
"GOD ALONE IS IMMORTAL."
00:17:15.16\00:17:19.56
AND THE BIBLE SAYS
THAT MAN IS MORTAL.
00:17:19.56\00:17:23.13
COME OVER HERE TO JOB 4:17.
00:17:23.13\00:17:26.66
THIS IS, I BELIEVE, THE
OLDEST BOOK IN THE BIBLE.
00:17:26.66\00:17:31.26
JOB, JUST BEFORE THE
BOOK OF PSALMS, JOB 4:17.
00:17:31.26\00:17:39.70
THE BIBLE SAYS, "'CAN A MORTAL
BE MORE RIGHTEOUS THAN GOD?
00:17:39.70\00:17:45.23
CAN A MAN BE MORE
PURE THAN HIS MAKER?"
00:17:45.23\00:17:50.16
MORTAL MAN.
00:17:50.16\00:17:51.86
THE BIBLE SAYS, "MAN IS MORTAL,
GOD ALONE HAS IMMORTALITY."
00:17:51.86\00:17:58.40
SO, START THINKING ABOUT THIS.
00:17:58.40\00:18:02.13
IF THE DOCTRINE
OF THE IMMORTALITY
00:18:02.13\00:18:04.86
OF THE SOUL SOMEHOW IS A
GREAT DECEPTION, IF THAT IS
00:18:04.86\00:18:10.26
SO, THEN WHERE ARE THE BELOVED
DEAD BECAUSE THE IDEA THAT
00:18:10.26\00:18:18.50
THE DEAD ARE IN HEAVEN IS BASED
ON THE IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL?
00:18:18.50\00:18:23.86
WHEN WILL GOD'S
PEOPLE BECOME IMMORTAL?
00:18:23.86\00:18:27.46
WOULD YOU COME OVER
HERE TO 1 CORINTHIANS 15.
00:18:27.46\00:18:29.93
BECAUSE ONE DAY THEY'RE GOING
TO GET IT, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE
00:18:29.93\00:18:32.83
IMMORTALITY, THEY'LL
NEVER, NEVER DIE AGAIN.
00:18:32.83\00:18:35.83
1 CORINTHIANS 15:51 AND ONWARDS.
00:18:35.83\00:18:42.20
1 CORINTHIANS 15:51 AND ONWARDS.
00:18:42.20\00:18:47.73
THE WORDS OF PAUL.
00:18:47.73\00:18:48.76
NOTICE THAT IN THE BIBLE,
I'M GLAD TO HEAR THE RUSTLE
00:18:48.76\00:18:51.93
OF THE PAGES.
00:18:51.93\00:18:53.50
"LISTEN, I TELL YOU A
MYSTERY: WE WILL NOT ALL SLEEP,"
00:18:53.50\00:18:57.06
THAT MEANS WE WON'T ALL DIE,
"BUT WE WILL ALL BE CHANGED--
00:18:57.06\00:19:01.76
IN A FLASH, IN THE TWINKLING
OF AN EYE, AT THE LAST TRUMPET.
00:19:01.76\00:19:07.03
FOR THE TRUMPET WILL
SOUND, THE DEAD WILL BE RAISED
00:19:07.03\00:19:10.26
IMPERISHABLE, AND
WE WILL BE CHANGED.
00:19:10.26\00:19:14.03
FOR THE PERISHABLE MUST CLOTHE
ITSELF WITH THE IMPERISHABLE,
00:19:14.03\00:19:18.30
AND THE MORTAL
WITH IMMORTALITY."
00:19:18.30\00:19:22.66
SO, WE'RE MORTAL NOW BUT
ONE DAY WE'RE GOING TO GET IT,
00:19:22.66\00:19:25.56
IMMORTALITY.
00:19:25.56\00:19:27.10
"WHEN THE PERISHABLE HAS BEEN
CLOTHED WITH THE IMPERISHABLE,
00:19:27.10\00:19:31.53
AND THE MORTAL WITH IMMORTALITY,
THEN THE SAYING THAT IS WRITTEN
00:19:31.53\00:19:36.03
WILL COME TRUE: 'DEATH HAS
BEEN SWALLOWED UP IN VICTORY.'"
00:19:36.03\00:19:42.16
WHEN DOES THIS HAPPEN?
00:19:42.16\00:19:45.13
THINK ABOUT IT.
00:19:45.13\00:19:46.40
WE'RE TOLD THAT JESUS
IS GOING TO COME BACK.
00:19:46.40\00:19:51.16
THERE'S GOING TO BE A TREMENDOUS
RESURRECTION AND PEOPLE WHO DIED
00:19:51.16\00:20:00.73
WITH MORTALITY ARE GOING TO
BE CLOTHED WITH IMMORTALITY.
00:20:00.73\00:20:06.53
THAT MEANS THEY WILL NEVER, EVER
DIE AGAIN, WHEN JESUS COMES.
00:20:06.53\00:20:15.46
AND THAT IS WHY I TELL
YOU, MY FRIENDS, THAT THE HOPE
00:20:15.46\00:20:19.36
OF THE CHURCH, THE HOPE
OF THE BELIEVER IS NOT DEATH,
00:20:19.36\00:20:25.43
IT IS THE COMING OF CHRIST.
00:20:25.43\00:20:29.06
NOW, I'M AN ADVENTIST.
00:20:29.06\00:20:32.36
WHAT DOES THIS
WORD MEAN, ADVENTIST?
00:20:32.36\00:20:35.00
I BELIEVE IN THE ADVENT.
00:20:35.00\00:20:37.86
I BELIEVE IN THE
COMING OF THE LORD
00:20:37.86\00:20:41.93
BECAUSE WHEN THE LORD COMES
IN GLORY, HIS CHILDREN ARE GOING
00:20:41.93\00:20:48.13
TO BE CLOTHED WITH IMMORTALITY
AND THEY WILL NEVER, NEVER,
00:20:48.13\00:20:53.20
NEVER DIE AGAIN.
00:20:53.20\00:20:55.20
HALLELUJAH AND PRAISE GOD.
00:20:55.20\00:20:59.83
IN THAT DAY, THE
APOSTLE PAUL IS GOING TO WAKE UP
00:20:59.83\00:21:06.73
AND JOHN AND JAMES AND PETER
AND THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY.
00:21:06.73\00:21:14.96
SHE'S GOING TO GET IMMORTALITY.
00:21:14.96\00:21:16.53
YOU SAY, "BUT THIS
IS A TERRIBLE HERESY.
00:21:16.53\00:21:19.90
WE PRAY TO THE
BLESSED VIRGIN MARY."
00:21:19.90\00:21:22.63
MY FRIEND, THE BIBLE TEACHES
THAT THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY,
00:21:22.63\00:21:29.10
WHEN JESUS RETURNS, WILL
BE CLOTHED WITH IMMORTALITY.
00:21:29.10\00:21:36.06
JESUS IS GOING TO COME
AND THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES
00:21:36.06\00:21:41.70
TELL US THAT THE
CHARIOT WHEELS HAVE LEFT.
00:21:41.70\00:21:49.30
SOON HE'LL BE HERE.
00:21:49.30\00:21:53.30
WHEN HE COMES, THERE IS GOING TO
BE A TREMENDOUS RESURRECTION AND
00:21:53.30\00:21:59.36
THE PEOPLE OF GOD WILL BECOME
IMMORTAL, THE LIVING PEOPLE OF
00:21:59.36\00:22:04.06
GOD ARE GOING TO BE TRANSLATED.
00:22:04.06\00:22:06.70
THIS LEADS TO ANOTHER QUESTION,
WHAT ON EARTH IS THE SOUL?
00:22:06.70\00:22:10.50
COME OVER HERE TO GENESIS 2:7.
00:22:10.50\00:22:13.46
GENESIS 2:7.
00:22:13.46\00:22:17.20
GENESIS 2:7.
00:22:17.20\00:22:20.23
THE BIBLE SAYS, "THE LORD
GOD FORMED THE MAN FROM THE DUST
00:22:20.23\00:22:25.16
OF THE GROUND," DOESN'T
TEACH EVOLUTION HERE, DOES IT?
00:22:25.16\00:22:29.90
"THE LORD GOD FORMED THE
MAN FROM THE DUST OF THE GROUND,
00:22:29.90\00:22:33.90
BREATHED INTO HIS
NOSTRILS THE BREATH OF LIFE,
00:22:33.90\00:22:37.13
MAN BECAME A LIVING BEING."
00:22:37.13\00:22:39.30
YOU KNOW WHAT
THAT WORD BEING IS?
00:22:39.30\00:22:42.23
IN THE HEBREW,
THAT WORD IS SOUL.
00:22:42.23\00:22:45.43
THE BIBLE SAYS,
"THE LORD GOD FORMED MAN
00:22:45.43\00:22:48.23
OF THE DUST OF THE GROUND."
00:22:48.23\00:22:51.86
WE'RE SIMPLY MADE OF DUST.
00:22:51.86\00:22:54.33
THE BIBLE SAYS, "THE LORD
GOD BREATHED INTO HIS NOSTRILS
00:22:54.33\00:22:58.53
THE BREATH OF LIFE AND MAN,"
THE BIBLE SAYS, "BECAME A LIVING
00:22:58.53\00:23:09.93
BEING," OR, "A LIVING SOUL."
00:23:09.93\00:23:13.76
IF MY MEMORY IS NOT--
IF IT'S WORKING TODAY,
00:23:13.76\00:23:17.00
THE HEBREW IS NEPHESH KAYA.
00:23:17.00\00:23:20.96
HAS A NICE RING TO IT.
00:23:20.96\00:23:23.66
MAN BECAME A
NEPHESH KAYA, A LIVING SOUL.
00:23:23.66\00:23:28.43
I AM MADE OF DUST PLUS BREATH.
00:23:28.43\00:23:30.83
I AM A LIVING SOUL.
00:23:30.83\00:23:33.26
YOU ARE A SOUL.
00:23:33.26\00:23:35.93
THE WORD SOUL SOMETIMES
REFERS EVEN TO THE EMOTIONS
00:23:35.93\00:23:44.30
AND THE SPIRIT OF LIFE THAT
IS INSIDE A PERSON, BUT IT NEVER
00:23:44.30\00:23:49.50
REFERS TO AN IMMORTAL THING
THAT LIVES INSIDE A PERSON.
00:23:49.50\00:23:57.36
IT IS MORE CORRECT TO SAY
THAT YOU ARE A SOUL THAN TO SAY
00:23:57.36\00:24:02.30
THAT YOU HAVE A SOUL.
00:24:02.30\00:24:06.56
CAN THE SOUL DIE?
00:24:06.56\00:24:10.83
COME OVER HERE TO EZEKIEL 18:4.
00:24:10.83\00:24:13.50
EZEKIEL 18:4.
00:24:13.50\00:24:20.46
"FOR EVERY LIVING SOUL
BELONGS TO ME, THE FATHER
00:24:20.46\00:24:25.50
AS WELL AS THE SON--
BOTH ALIKE BELONG TO ME.
00:24:25.50\00:24:29.60
THE SOUL WHO SINS IS
THE ONE WHO WILL DIE."
00:24:29.60\00:24:34.26
WRITE THAT DOWN IN YOUR
HEART, THE SOUL CAN DIE.
00:24:34.26\00:24:42.53
THEN WHY IS IT, MY FRIEND, THAT
MORE THAN A BILLION OF THOSE
00:24:42.53\00:24:49.40
WONDERFUL PEOPLE IN THE
ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH BELIEVE IN
00:24:49.40\00:24:54.26
THE IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL?
00:24:54.26\00:24:56.93
WHY IS IT THAT HUNDREDS
OF MILLIONS OF MY PROTESTANT
00:24:56.93\00:25:01.10
FRIENDS BELIEVE IN THE
IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL?
00:25:01.10\00:25:05.53
THE BIBLE SAYS,
"THE SOUL SHALL DIE."
00:25:05.53\00:25:12.20
THEREFORE, I DO NOT
BELIEVE IT BECAUSE THE BIBLE
00:25:12.20\00:25:18.20
DOES NOT TEACH IT.
00:25:18.20\00:25:19.60
THEN WHERE DID THE
DOCTRINE OF THE IMMORTALITY OF
00:25:19.60\00:25:23.90
THE SOUL COME FROM?
00:25:23.90\00:25:25.80
WOULD YOU COME OVER
HERE TO GENESIS 3:1-5.
00:25:25.80\00:25:30.53
GENESIS 3:1-5.
00:25:30.53\00:25:37.13
GENESIS 3, "NOW THE SERPENT,"
THAT'S THE DEVIL, "WAS MORE
00:25:37.13\00:25:41.70
CRAFTY THAN ANY OF THE WILD
ANIMALS THE LORD GOD HAD MADE.
00:25:41.70\00:25:45.40
HE SAID TO THE WOMAN, 'DID
GOD REALLY SAY, YOU MUST NOT EAT
00:25:45.40\00:25:49.46
FROM ANY TREE IN THE GARDEN?'
THE WOMAN SAID TO THE SERPENT,
00:25:49.46\00:25:53.43
'WE MAY EAT FRUIT FROM THE TREES
IN THE GARDEN, BUT GOD DID SAY,
00:25:53.43\00:25:56.90
YOU MUST NOT EAT FRUIT FROM
THE TREE THAT IS IN THE MIDDLE
00:25:56.90\00:26:00.40
OF THE GARDEN, AND YOU MUST
NOT TOUCH IT, OR YOU WILL DIE.'"
00:26:00.40\00:26:05.16
LOOK AT ME.
00:26:05.16\00:26:08.80
GOD SAID, "IF YOU BREAK THE
LAW OF LIBERTY, THE LAW OF LIFE,
00:26:08.80\00:26:17.36
IF YOU SIN," GOD
SAID, "YOU WILL DIE."
00:26:17.36\00:26:26.00
PLAIN AND SIMPLE, GOD SAID,
"IF YOU SIN, YOU WILL DIE."
00:26:26.00\00:26:31.60
NOTICE THE NEXT VERSE, VERSE
4, "'YOU WILL NOT SURELY DIE,'
00:26:31.60\00:26:41.40
THE SERPENT SAID TO THE
WOMAN," YOU WILL NOT DIE BECAUSE
00:26:41.40\00:26:48.40
YOU'VE GOT AN IMMORTAL SOUL.
00:26:48.40\00:26:51.13
"BUT GOD KNOWS THAT WHEN YOU EAT
OF IT, YOUR EYES WILL BE OPENED,
00:26:51.13\00:26:56.03
AND YOU WILL BE LIKE
GOD, KNOWING GOOD AND EVIL."
00:26:56.03\00:27:00.73
I WOULD HAVE YOU BE AWARE
TODAY THAT THE DOCTRINE OF
00:27:00.73\00:27:05.73
THE IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL
IS THE DEVIL'S LIE BECAUSE IT
00:27:05.73\00:27:18.13
PREPARES THE SOUL FOR SPIRITISM.
00:27:18.13\00:27:23.10
GOD SAID YOU'LL DIE,
DEVIL SAID YOU WON'T.
00:27:23.10\00:27:27.26
WHO YOU GOING TO BELIEVE?
00:27:27.26\00:27:30.33
THIS, OF COURSE, GAVE RISE
TO THE DOCTRINE OF THE ETERNAL
00:27:30.33\00:27:35.43
TORMENT OF THE DAMNED, THAT
GOD IS THE TORTURER IN CHIEF,
00:27:35.43\00:27:44.16
THAT HE WAS A BILLION
TIMES WORSE THAN HIS CREATURES
00:27:44.16\00:27:47.76
WHO INVENTED AND
PRACTICED WATER BOARDING.
00:27:47.76\00:27:52.76
GOD IS THE TORTURER IN CHIEF
AND HE MUST BE, BECAUSE HE MADE
00:27:52.83\00:28:01.93
MAN WITH AN IMMORTAL SOUL
AND EVEN GOD CAN'T KILL HIM.
00:28:01.93\00:28:08.13
AND THEREFORE, HE
BURNS HIM-- HAVE YOU EVER PUT
00:28:08.13\00:28:13.13
YOUR FINGER IN THE
FIRE FOR A MINUTE, HAVE YOU?
00:28:13.13\00:28:15.90
HAVE YOU BURNT YOUR FINGER
FOR A SECOND ON THE STOVE?
00:28:15.90\00:28:19.73
WHICH OF YOU WOULD HAVE THE
COURAGE TO PUT HIS FINGER ON
00:28:19.73\00:28:24.33
THE TOP OF A
BLAZING CANDLE FOR A MINUTE
00:28:24.33\00:28:29.76
AND SMELL THE COOKING FLESH?
00:28:29.76\00:28:36.13
THOSE OF YOU WHO BELIEVE THAT
00:28:29.76\00:28:36.13
MONSTROUS LIE, THINK ABOUT IT.
00:28:37.80\00:28:40.86
THAT A PERSON IS BURNING,
HIS WHOLE BODY IS BURNING FOR
00:28:40.86\00:28:46.16
AN HOUR A DAY, A WEEK, A MONTH,
AND THERE IS NO END TO IT.
00:28:46.16\00:28:52.70
AND AS ONE THEOLOGIAN SAID,
"THE SUFFERING OF THE DAMNED
00:28:52.70\00:29:01.03
WILL BRING GREAT JOY TO
THE REDEEMED," BECAUSE THEY'LL
00:29:01.03\00:29:05.60
BE ABLE TO LOOK OVER AND SEE
THEIR--EVEN THEIR LOVED ONES,
00:29:05.60\00:29:11.60
SCREAMING IN THE FIRE
OF HELL AND THEY'LL SAY,
00:29:11.60\00:29:15.43
"HALLELUJAH."
00:29:15.43\00:29:18.93
NO WONDER ONE GREAT ATHEIST,
I THINK HIS NAME WAS INGERSOLL,
00:29:18.93\00:29:22.96
A SKEPTIC SAID, "IF THAT
IS GOD, THEN I HATE HIM."
00:29:22.96\00:29:30.93
AND THIS, MONSTROUS DOCTRINE
IS BASED ON THE DEVIL'S LIE
00:29:30.93\00:29:38.26
THAT WAS BELIEVED BY
ALL THE GREAT RELIGIONS IN
00:29:38.26\00:29:41.70
THE WORLD, WITH ONE EXCEPTION,
THE RELIGION OF THE BIBLE.
00:29:41.70\00:29:50.06
WHERE DO WE GO AT DEATH?
00:29:50.06\00:29:51.86
COME OVER HERE TO
THE BOOK OF ACTS 2.
00:29:51.86\00:29:55.63
ACTS 2, AND YOU'LL NEED TO
UNDERSTAND THIS TRUTH THE DAY
00:29:55.63\00:30:01.56
THE DEVIL COMES CALLING.
00:30:01.56\00:30:03.63
ACTS 2:29, "BROTHERS, I
CAN TELL YOU CONFIDENTLY
00:30:03.63\00:30:12.10
THAT THE PATRIARCH DAVID DIED
AND WAS BURIED, AND HIS TOMB
00:30:12.10\00:30:16.56
IS HERE TO THIS DAY."
00:30:16.56\00:30:17.83
DAVID IS DEAD AND HE'S BURIED.
00:30:17.83\00:30:20.63
AND PEOPLE SAY, "HALLELUJAH,
HE'S IN HEAVEN WITH GOD."
00:30:20.63\00:30:24.13
VERSE 34, "FOR DAVID
DID NOT ASCEND TO HEAVEN."
00:30:24.13\00:30:29.40
WELL, YOU'VE GOT TO BELIEVE
EITHER THE GREAT CHURCH AND
00:30:29.40\00:30:33.40
ALL OF THE SMART THEOLOGIANS
OR ELSE YOU'VE GOT TO BELIEVE
00:30:33.40\00:30:36.80
THE WORD OF GOD.
00:30:36.80\00:30:38.80
AND THE BIBLE SAYS, "DAVID DIED
AND DAVID IS NOT IN HEAVEN."
00:30:38.80\00:30:44.93
COME OVER HERE, JOHN 11.
00:30:44.93\00:30:48.06
TAKE IT FROM JESUS.
00:30:48.06\00:30:50.80
I BELIEVE AND I
LOVE THE WORDS OF JESUS.
00:30:50.80\00:30:54.56
JOHN 11:11-14.
00:30:54.56\00:30:58.20
JOHN 11:11 AND ONWARDS.
00:30:58.20\00:31:03.10
YOU KNOW, WHENEVER JESUS WENT
TO A FUNERAL, HE BROKE IT UP,
00:31:03.10\00:31:08.23
AND HE DID IT IN THIS CHAPTER.
00:31:08.23\00:31:11.53
"AFTER HE SAID THIS, HE WENT
ON TO TELL THEM, 'OUR FRIEND
00:31:11.53\00:31:14.20
LAZARUS HAS FALLEN ASLEEP,'"
LAZARUS DIED, "'BUT I AM
00:31:14.20\00:31:19.40
GOING THERE TO WAKE HIM
UP.'" WHY WAKE HIM UP IF HE'S
00:31:19.40\00:31:22.06
IN HEAVEN?
00:31:22.06\00:31:23.70
HE WOULDN'T NEED WAKING UP.
00:31:23.70\00:31:27.26
"'LORD, IF HE SLEEPS,' HIS
DISCIPLES REPLIED, 'LORD, IF
00:31:27.26\00:31:30.10
HE SLEEPS HE WILL GET BETTER.'
JESUS HAD BEEN SPEAKING OF HIS
00:31:30.10\00:31:35.00
DEATH, BUT HIS DISCIPLES
THOUGHT HE MEANT NATURAL SLEEP.
00:31:35.00\00:31:39.73
SO THEN HE TOLD THEM
PLAINLY, 'LAZARUS IS DEAD.'"
00:31:39.73\00:31:46.10
AND SO JESUS SAYS, "LAZARUS
IS SLEEPING," LAZARUS IS DEAD.
00:31:46.10\00:31:50.36
WHERE ARE THE DEAD?
00:31:50.36\00:31:52.76
THE DEAD ARE SLEEPING.
00:31:52.76\00:31:55.10
NOW MY FRIEND, IF YOU ARE BEING
TORTURED IN A WHITE, HOT HELL,
00:31:55.10\00:32:00.83
YOU WOULDN'T BE SLEEPING.
00:32:00.83\00:32:03.56
AND IF YOU WERE STROLLING
DOWN THE STREETS OF GLORY,
00:32:03.56\00:32:06.76
YOU WOULDN'T BE SLEEPING.
00:32:06.76\00:32:09.00
PEOPLE SAY, "NO, NO,
NO, YOU'VE GOT IT WRONG."
00:32:09.00\00:32:11.10
NO, YOU'VE GOT IT
WRONG, AND JESUS HAD IS RIGHT.
00:32:11.10\00:32:16.00
LAZARUS IS SLEEPING.
00:32:16.00\00:32:17.76
LAZARUS IS DEAD.
00:32:17.76\00:32:19.23
YOU SAY, "IT MAKES
NO DIFFERENCE TO ME."
00:32:19.23\00:32:21.96
NEXT WEEK YOU'LL SEE IT
DOES WHEN THE DEVIL COMES
00:32:21.96\00:32:25.26
AND KNOCKS ON YOUR DOOR.
00:32:25.26\00:32:29.60
UNLESS YOU UNDERSTAND THIS
TRUTH, YOU WILL BE LED ASTRAY
00:32:29.60\00:32:36.50
BY THE POWER OF THE OCCULT.
00:32:36.50\00:32:39.96
AND THAT'S TRUE WITH
YOU YOUNG PEOPLE TOO.
00:32:39.96\00:32:42.96
AND HOLLYWOOD IS PROMOTING
THE IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL.
00:32:42.96\00:32:47.96
THEY PUT OUT MOVIE AFTER MOVIE
ON THE IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL.
00:32:47.96\00:32:52.33
AND IT SHOWS YOU
WHO IS BEHIND THEM.
00:32:52.33\00:32:55.43
WHY SUPPORT THE
HOLLYWOOD INDUSTRY?
00:32:55.43\00:32:59.33
I ASK YOU.
00:32:59.33\00:33:00.56
I'M AMAZED THAT CHRISTIANS
SEEM TO BE SOME OF THE STRONGEST
00:33:00.56\00:33:05.50
PEOPLE TO SUPPORT THIS
INDUSTRY OF DECEPTION, FILTH,
00:33:05.50\00:33:10.63
AND EVERY OTHER TYPE OF EVIL.
00:33:10.63\00:33:16.00
AND SO HOLLYWOOD IS SUPPORTING
THE DEVIL'S LIE BECAUSE IT MAKES
00:33:16.00\00:33:22.13
ME THINK THE DEVIL HAS MANY
REPRESENTATIVES, NOT FAR DOWN
00:33:22.13\00:33:26.83
THE ROAD HERE IN HOLLYWOOD.
00:33:26.83\00:33:30.43
SO JESUS GOES
ALONG TO THE FUNERAL.
00:33:30.43\00:33:33.66
JOHN 11.
00:33:33.66\00:33:35.63
WELL, ACTUALLY,
THEY'VE HAD THE FUNERAL.
00:33:35.63\00:33:37.93
"JESUS, ONCE MORE
DEEPLY MOVED, CAME TO THE TOMB.
00:33:37.93\00:33:40.70
IT WAS A CAVE WITH A
STONE LAID ACROSS THE ENTRANCE.
00:33:40.70\00:33:43.20
'TAKE AWAY THE STONE,' HE SAID.
00:33:43.20\00:33:45.30
'BUT LORD,' SAID MARTHA,
THE SISTER OF THE DEAD MAN, 'BY
00:33:45.30\00:33:47.96
THIS TIME THERE IS A BAD ODOR,
HE'S BEEN THERE FOUR DAYS.'"
00:33:47.96\00:33:53.00
SO THAT SHOWS YOU
HE WASN'T PLAYING DEAD.
00:33:53.00\00:33:56.60
"THEN JESUS SAID, 'DID NOT I
TELL YOU THAT IF YOU BELIEVED,
00:33:56.60\00:33:59.53
YOU'D SEE THE GLORY OF GOD?'
SO THEY TOOK AWAY THE STONE.
00:33:59.53\00:34:04.30
AND JESUS LOOKED UP AND
SAID, 'FATHER, I THANK YOU
00:34:04.30\00:34:06.40
THAT YOU HAVE HEARD ME.
00:34:06.40\00:34:08.40
I KNOW THAT YOU'LL ALWAYS
HEAR ME, BUT I SAID THIS FOR
00:34:08.40\00:34:12.10
THE BENEFIT OF THE PEOPLE
STANDING HERE, SO THAT THEY
00:34:12.10\00:34:15.36
MAY BELIEVE THAT YOU SENT ME.'
WHEN HE SAID THIS, JESUS CALLED
00:34:15.36\00:34:21.00
OUT IN A LOUD
VOICE, 'LAZARUS, COME OUT!'
00:34:21.00\00:34:26.60
THE DEAD MAN CAME OUT."
00:34:26.60\00:34:29.30
HE DIDN'T COME
DOWN, HE DIDN'T COME UP.
00:34:29.30\00:34:32.20
HE CAME OUT.
00:34:32.20\00:34:33.73
"HIS HANDS AND FEET
WRAPPED WITH STRIPS OF LINEN,
00:34:33.73\00:34:36.36
AND A CLOTH AROUND HIS FACE.
00:34:36.36\00:34:38.20
JESUS SAID TO THEM, 'TAKE OFF
THE GRAVE CLOTHES, LET HIM GO.'"
00:34:38.20\00:34:45.10
SO I ASK YOU, WHAT ARE
YOU GOING TO DO WITH THAT?
00:34:45.10\00:34:49.90
NOW I KNOW THIS FOR MANY PEOPLE
IS THE MOST EMOTIONAL SUBJECT.
00:34:49.90\00:34:57.03
NO WONDER, MY FRIEND,
BECAUSE IT HAS THE POWER OF
00:34:57.03\00:35:01.13
THE DEVIL BEHIND IT.
00:35:01.13\00:35:03.70
IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL.
00:35:03.70\00:35:05.06
HERE'S A MAN, HE'S
BEEN DEAD FOR 4 DAYS.
00:35:05.06\00:35:12.10
AND THERE'S AN ODOR.
00:35:12.10\00:35:14.36
JESUS SAID,
"TAKE AWAY THE STONE."
00:35:14.36\00:35:16.90
NO, NO, NO, DON'T
TAKE AWAY THE STONE.
00:35:16.90\00:35:20.13
AND THEN JESUS SAID, "FATHER, I
THANK YOU THAT YOU'VE HEARD ME."
00:35:20.13\00:35:26.86
JESUS WENT TO THE TOMB.
00:35:26.86\00:35:28.86
THERE WAS A MAN INSIDE
ALL WRAPPED UP LIKE A MUMMY.
00:35:28.86\00:35:32.06
AND JESUS SAID,
"LAZARUS, COME OUT."
00:35:32.06\00:35:37.76
SOME CYNICS SAID IN
A DIFFERENT CONTEXT,
00:35:37.76\00:35:42.80
"WHY DID JESUS SAY LAZARUS?
00:35:42.80\00:35:45.36
WHY DIDN'T HE
JUST SAY, 'COME OUT'?"
00:35:45.36\00:35:48.20
AND ONE OLD CHRISTIAN SAID TO
HIM, "IF HE HADN'T SAID LAZARUS,
00:35:48.20\00:35:52.13
EVERY DEAD PERSON WHO'D
EVER LIVED WOULD HAVE COME OUT."
00:35:52.13\00:35:56.33
THAT'S WHY.
00:35:56.33\00:35:59.06
DID YOU KNOW DEATH COULD
NOT SURVIVE HIS PRESENCE?
00:35:59.06\00:36:05.63
CAME ALONG ONCE AND
THERE WAS A WIDOW ABOUT TO BURY
00:36:05.63\00:36:09.96
HER ONLY SON.
00:36:09.96\00:36:12.33
JESUS SAID, "YOUNG MAN, GET UP."
00:36:12.33\00:36:14.60
HE GOT UP.
00:36:14.60\00:36:15.80
HE WAS DEAD.
00:36:15.80\00:36:18.03
THE DAY IS GOING TO COME
WHEN JESUS IS GOING TO COME
00:36:18.03\00:36:23.53
BACK IN GLORY AND IN POWER.
00:36:23.53\00:36:26.13
MAY HE HASTEN THE DAY.
00:36:26.13\00:36:28.06
LET ME TELL YOU HIS
CHARIOT WHEELS ARE RUMBLING.
00:36:28.06\00:36:35.10
THE SIGNS ARE AROUND THE WORLD.
00:36:35.10\00:36:38.33
FLOODS, TORNADOES, PESTILENCES,
TSUNAMIS, EARTHQUAKES,
00:36:38.33\00:36:45.56
AND THE CHURCH SLEEPS ON.
00:36:45.56\00:36:49.53
DISASTERS, TERRORISM, THE
MIDDLE EAST IN THE GREATEST
00:36:49.53\00:36:55.13
REVOLT IN ITS HISTORY,
AND THE WORLD SLEEPS ON.
00:36:55.13\00:37:01.90
BUT JESUS IS GOING TO COME AND
HE IS GOING TO HAVE A PEOPLE,
00:37:01.90\00:37:10.36
HALLELUJAH.
00:37:10.36\00:37:12.63
AND WHEN HE COMES, HE'S GOING TO
GO TO GRAVES AND HE'S GOING TO
00:37:12.63\00:37:15.93
SAY, "BILL,
MARY, TOM, COME OUT."
00:37:15.93\00:37:26.30
AND HE'S GOING TO
SAY, "PAUL, COME OUT.
00:37:26.30\00:37:32.06
JOHN, ST. JOHN,
JAMES, MY MOTHER."
00:37:32.06\00:37:42.16
WHAT?
00:37:42.16\00:37:43.83
BUT SHE'S IN HEAVEN.
00:37:43.83\00:37:45.16
NO, SHE'S NOT.
00:37:45.16\00:37:46.03
THAT'S WHAT THE CHURCH TOLD YOU.
00:37:46.03\00:37:48.13
THE GREAT CHURCH TOLD
YOU THAT BECAUSE THE CHURCH
00:37:48.13\00:37:51.13
DOES NOT BELIEVE THAT
GOD ALONE IS IMMORTAL.
00:37:51.13\00:37:55.53
THEY HAVE
SWALLOWED THE DEVIL'S LIE.
00:37:55.53\00:37:59.00
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
00:37:59.00\00:38:04.30
WHAT A GREAT GETTING UP
MORNING THAT IT'S GOING TO BE.
00:38:04.30\00:38:09.43
I PRAY THAT YOU AND I COME
UP IN THE FIRST RESURRECTION
00:38:09.43\00:38:12.63
BECAUSE THE SECOND
ONE IS NOT AS PLEASANT.
00:38:12.63\00:38:16.70
IT'S THE
RESURRECTION OF DAMNATION.
00:38:16.70\00:38:21.10
AND ONCE YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES
IN DEATH, YOU'RE DRIVING DOWN
00:38:21.10\00:38:26.43
THE FREEWAY, YOU ARE A NOMINAL
CHRISTIAN, YOU COME TO CHURCH
00:38:26.43\00:38:32.76
BECAUSE IT'S A SOCIAL CLUB, YOU
COME TO CHURCH SO YOU CAN MEET
00:38:32.76\00:38:36.73
WITH FRIENDS AND GO
OFF AND FILL YOUR TUMMIES.
00:38:36.73\00:38:40.50
AND THAT'S AS FAR
AS YOUR RELIGION GOES.
00:38:40.50\00:38:42.70
AND YOU NEVER SERIOUSLY
00:38:42.70\00:38:45.40
STUDY THE BIBLE.
00:38:45.46\00:38:46.73
AND YOU'RE DRIVING DOWN
THE FREEWAY AND A SEMI-TRAILER
00:38:46.73\00:38:51.16
HITS YOU AND YOU'RE GONE.
00:38:51.16\00:38:56.13
I WON'T PRAY FOR YOU
BECAUSE IT'S TOO LATE.
00:38:56.13\00:39:03.06
AND THE NEXT THING YOU ARE GOING
TO KNOW WILL BE THE RESURRECTION
00:39:03.06\00:39:08.80
OF THE RIGHTEOUS OR THE
RESURRECTION OF THE DAMNED.
00:39:08.80\00:39:14.70
AND IF YOU DIE WITHOUT
CHRIST, YOU WILL COME UP IN
00:39:14.70\00:39:18.70
THE RESURRECTION OF THE DAMNED.
00:39:18.70\00:39:21.50
AND YOU'LL SAY, "BUT SURELY
THERE'LL BE ANOTHER CHANCE."
00:39:21.50\00:39:24.86
NO, THERE'LL BE NO OTHER CHANCE.
00:39:24.86\00:39:30.36
AND THERE'S A LINE THAT IS
00:39:24.86\00:39:30.36
CROSSED BY REJECTING THE LORD
WHERE THE CALL OF HIS SPIRIT
00:39:31.66\00:39:35.90
IS LOST AS YOU TRAVEL ALONG
WITH A PLEASURE-MAD THRONG.
00:39:35.90\00:39:40.50
HAVE YOU COUNTED,
HAVE YOU COUNTED THE COST?
00:39:40.50\00:39:45.73
SO BACK TO THE SECOND COMING.
00:39:45.73\00:39:49.23
WE ASK THIS QUESTION
TODAY, WHERE IS MARY?
00:39:49.23\00:39:53.23
SHE'S SLEEPING.
00:39:53.23\00:39:55.83
YOU BETTER PRAY
ONLY TO JESUS, MY FRIEND.
00:39:55.83\00:39:59.66
DON'T CONFESS YOUR SINS TO A
SAINT BECAUSE HE'S SLEEPING TOO.
00:39:59.66\00:40:05.26
THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY CAN ONLY
BE SAVED THROUGH JESUS BECAUSE
00:40:05.26\00:40:12.73
SHE WAS NOT SINLESS, IN SPITE OF
THE DOCTRINE OF THE IMMACULATE
00:40:12.73\00:40:17.46
CONCEPTION, WHICH IS SIMPLY
A STORY, NOT IN THE BIBLE.
00:40:17.46\00:40:23.96
WHERE IS MARY?
00:40:23.96\00:40:25.10
WHERE IS ST. PETER?
00:40:25.10\00:40:26.46
WHERE IS KING DAVID?
00:40:26.46\00:40:27.76
WHERE ARE OUR DEAD LOVED ONES?
00:40:27.76\00:40:29.90
WHERE ARE THE SAINTS?
00:40:29.90\00:40:30.96
WHERE ARE THE DEAD
POPES LIKE JOHN PAUL?
00:40:30.96\00:40:35.46
WHERE ARE THE
DEPARTED ENEMIES OF GOD?
00:40:35.46\00:40:37.96
WHERE ARE THE DEAD?
00:40:37.96\00:40:42.16
BOTH GOOD AND BAD ARE
SLEEPING, AWAITING THE FIRST
00:40:42.16\00:40:48.70
OR THE SECOND RESURRECTION.
00:40:48.70\00:40:52.43
THEREFORE, YOU SHOULD NEVER PRAY
TO GET PEOPLE OUT OF PURGATORY
00:40:52.43\00:40:56.03
FOR TWO REASONS.
00:40:56.03\00:40:58.10
THERE'S NO ONE THERE, AND NUMBER
TWO, THERE'S NO SUCH PLACE.
00:40:58.10\00:41:07.10
THIS DEVIL'S LIE HAS BEEN
USED TO RAISE A LOT OF MONEY.
00:41:07.10\00:41:16.76
LIKE WHEN I WAS A BOY,
JUST MARRIED, RUNNING MY
00:41:16.76\00:41:21.56
FIRST MISSION IN A LITTLE TOWN
BY THE NAME OF PARKS IN SOUTH
00:41:21.56\00:41:28.06
NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA.
00:41:28.06\00:41:32.83
IN THE OLD LAND, THERE WAS WALES
AND THERE WAS A NICE PART OF
00:41:32.83\00:41:36.90
WALES CALLED SOUTH WALES.
00:41:36.90\00:41:39.96
WHEN THE BRITISH CAME AND
FOUND AUSTRALIA, THEY SAID,
00:41:39.96\00:41:43.03
"THIS LITTLE PART LOOKS LIKE
THE SOUTHERN PART OF WALES," SO
00:41:43.03\00:41:49.26
THEY CALLED IT NEW SOUTH WALES.
00:41:49.26\00:41:52.60
BUT NEW SOUTH WALES IS DIVIDED
UP INTO NORTH NEW SOUTH WALES
00:41:52.60\00:41:57.10
AND SOUTH NEW SOUTH WALES.
00:41:57.10\00:41:59.23
DO YOU GET THAT?
00:41:59.23\00:42:02.26
NOW IN SOUTH NEW SOUTH
WALES, THERE WAS A LITTLE TOWN
00:42:02.26\00:42:06.30
BY THE NAME OF PARKS.
00:42:06.30\00:42:07.83
EIGHT THOUSAND PEOPLE.
00:42:07.83\00:42:10.30
I TOLD MY DEAR, BELOVED
FRIEND, DR. JAMES GILLEY THAT IN
00:42:10.30\00:42:15.16
AUSTRALIA THEY HAVE THIS SAYING.
00:42:15.16\00:42:17.56
"GOD MADE THE COUNTRY, MAN MADE
THE CITIES, AND THE DEVIL MADE
00:42:17.56\00:42:22.56
THE SMALL COUNTRY TOWNS,"
BECAUSE THEY'RE SO TOUGH,
00:42:22.56\00:42:27.46
SO PAROCHIAL, SO
BIASED, SO SECTARIAN.
00:42:27.46\00:42:31.66
I RAN A CAMPAIGN THERE
AND GOD GREATLY BLESSED IT.
00:42:31.66\00:42:37.53
PEOPLE SAY IT CAN'T BE DONE.
00:42:37.53\00:42:39.20
THAT'S BECAUSE THEY DON'T DO IT.
00:42:39.20\00:42:41.43
BUT THIS FAMILY
CAME SO POOR, DIRT POOR.
00:42:41.43\00:42:49.23
AND THE OLD MAN'S NAME WAS POPS.
00:42:49.23\00:42:51.73
THEY HEARD THESE TRUTHS
AND THEY ACCEPTED THESE TRUTHS.
00:42:51.73\00:42:55.16
WHEN HE DIED, THE LOVED
ONES CAME AND ASKED ME TO TAKE
00:42:55.16\00:42:57.96
THE FUNERAL.
00:42:57.96\00:42:59.33
HE'D BEEN A ROMAN CATHOLIC.
00:42:59.33\00:43:01.43
AND THE FAMILY CAME ALONG
WITH A BUNCH OF--IN THOSE DAYS,
00:43:01.43\00:43:07.06
THEY WERE POUND OF
NOTES, NOT DOLLAR BILLS.
00:43:07.06\00:43:10.50
AUSTRALIA HADN'T GONE
TO THE DECIMAL SYSTEM.
00:43:10.50\00:43:14.23
THE LOVED ONES CAME TO ME
WITH A BUNCH OF POUND NOTES,
00:43:14.23\00:43:17.26
HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF POUNDS.
00:43:17.26\00:43:18.90
I WAS A POOR MINISTER, GOODNESS.
00:43:18.90\00:43:21.56
THEY SAID, "THIS IS SO
YOU CAN PRAY FOR POPS."
00:43:21.56\00:43:27.93
I SAID, "FIRSTLY, I DON'T ACCEPT
MONEY FOR WEDDINGS OR FUNERALS.
00:43:27.93\00:43:34.60
I THINK THAT'S DISHONORABLE.
00:43:34.60\00:43:37.03
AND NUMBER TWO, POPS DOESN'T
NEED IT AND HE DOESN'T NEED MY
00:43:37.03\00:43:43.30
PRAYERS BECAUSE POPS IS SAFE
IN THE ARMS OF JESUS AND HE'S
00:43:43.30\00:43:48.70
GOING HOME TO GLORY
WITH JESUS WHEN JESUS COMES."
00:43:48.70\00:43:51.53
SO I WANT TO SAY TO
00:43:51.53\00:43:54.26
EVERYBODY, WE
DON'T PRAY FOR THE DEAD.
00:43:55.06\00:43:58.66
WE DON'T PRAY TO THE DEAD.
00:43:58.66\00:44:01.70
WE PRAY TO GOD.
00:44:01.70\00:44:04.73
NOW WHAT ABOUT THE DYING THIEF?
00:44:04.73\00:44:06.80
YOU DON'T HAVE
TO LOOK UP THE TEXT.
00:44:06.80\00:44:07.66
HERE'S THE DYING THIEF
00:44:07.66\00:44:09.73
DYING ON THE CROSS.
00:44:11.20\00:44:13.26
HE SAYS, "LORD, REMEMBER ME WHEN
YOU COME INTO YOUR KINGDOM."
00:44:13.26\00:44:20.46
AND JESUS SAYS, "VERILY,
TRULY I SAY TO YOU, TODAY THOU
00:44:20.46\00:44:28.06
SHALT BE WITH ME IN PARADISE."
00:44:28.06\00:44:33.40
I SAY UNTO YOU, COMMA, TODAY
YOU'LL BE WITH ME IN PARADISE.
00:44:33.40\00:44:40.43
OR, I SAY TO YOU TODAY, COMMA,
YOU'LL BE WITH ME IN PARADISE.
00:44:40.43\00:44:46.83
IT CAN BE TRANSLATED EITHER WAY.
00:44:46.83\00:44:49.90
THIS TEXT DOES NOT TELL
US, BUT THERE'S A TEXT IN JOHN
00:44:49.90\00:44:53.83
THAT DOES.
00:44:53.83\00:44:56.50
BECAUSE ON THE DAY OF THE
RESURRECTION--I SEE YOU'RE GOING
00:44:56.50\00:45:00.70
TO TURN TO IT EVEN IF I DON'T.
00:45:00.70\00:45:02.93
COME OVER HERE TO
JOHN 20:17, JOHN 20:17.
00:45:02.93\00:45:11.96
JOHN 20:17, THIS IS
JESUS TALKING TO MARY.
00:45:11.96\00:45:18.00
"JESUS SAID, 'DO NOT HOLD ON TO
ME, FOR I HAVE NOT YET ASCENDED
00:45:18.00\00:45:21.63
TO THE FATHER.'"
NOW, ON THAT FIRST SUNDAY
00:45:21.63\00:45:27.03
OF THE RESURRECTION,
JESUS MET MARY IN THE GARDEN.
00:45:27.03\00:45:33.80
SHE THOUGHT HE WAS THE GARDENER.
00:45:33.80\00:45:38.60
AND THEN JESUS SAID THOSE
WORDS, OR THE WORD, MARY, MARIA.
00:45:38.60\00:45:48.63
AND SHE RECOGNIZED HIM.
00:45:48.63\00:45:51.16
AND THEN SHE FELL AT HIS
FEET, GRABBED HIM BY THE ANKLES,
00:45:51.23\00:45:54.63
AND HUNG ON TO HIM.
00:45:54.63\00:45:56.16
HE SAID, "DON'T HOLD ON TO ME.
00:45:56.16\00:45:57.60
I HAVEN'T GONE HOME TO GLORY."
00:45:57.60\00:46:01.53
SO JESUS ON THE SUNDAY HAD NOT
GONE HOME TO GLORY, AND IF THAT
00:46:01.53\00:46:09.06
WAS SO, NEITHER HAD THE THIEF.
00:46:09.06\00:46:14.06
SO WHAT DID JESUS SAY?
00:46:14.06\00:46:16.30
GET THE PICTURE.
00:46:16.30\00:46:17.90
JESUS IS ON THE CROSS, ONE MAN
IS CURSING HIM, THE OTHER MAN
00:46:17.90\00:46:22.83
HAS FOUND SALVATION AT
ONE SECOND TO MIDNIGHT.
00:46:22.83\00:46:29.16
AND HE SAYS,
"LORD, REMEMBER ME."
00:46:29.16\00:46:33.70
TALK ABOUT GRACE.
00:46:33.70\00:46:35.76
"LORD, REMEMBER ME WHEN YOU
00:46:33.70\00:46:35.76
COME INTO YOUR KINGDOM."
00:46:38.46\00:46:41.66
HE DID FAR MORE
THAN MOST OF US CAN DO.
00:46:41.66\00:46:46.36
HE KNEW, HE SAW HE HAD
A KINGDOM, AND THEREFORE
00:46:46.36\00:46:50.00
HE WAS A KING.
00:46:50.00\00:46:51.50
HE SAW JESUS AS THE KING.
00:46:51.50\00:46:53.63
AND JESUS TURNED TO HIM AND
SAID, "TRULY, TRULY, I SAY TO
00:46:53.63\00:46:58.40
YOU, I SAY TO YOU TODAY, I
SAY TO YOU NOW AS I'M DYING
00:46:58.40\00:47:07.10
ON THE CROSS, I SAY IT TO
YOU TODAY, I AM STILL THE KING.
00:47:07.10\00:47:11.80
YOU WILL BE
WITH ME IN PARADISE."
00:47:11.80\00:47:14.83
JESUS NEVER WENT TO PARADISE
THAT DAY, NEITHER DID THE THIEF.
00:47:14.83\00:47:20.73
BUT THERE'S ONE THING THAT IS
CERTAIN MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE.
00:47:20.73\00:47:26.03
THAT THIEF WILL BE WITH JESUS IN
THE KINGDOM WHEN JESUS RETURNS.
00:47:26.03\00:47:35.70
AND THE BEST THING THAT
YOU AND I CAN DO, I BELIEVE,
00:47:35.70\00:47:41.33
IS TURN TO CHRIST IN
SINCERITY AND IN PENITENCE.
00:47:41.33\00:47:50.46
AS THEY SAY IN AUSTRALIA,
DINKY DIE, TRUE BLUE, FAIR
00:47:50.46\00:47:56.06
DINKUM, MY AUSTRALIAN FRIENDS.
00:47:56.06\00:48:00.30
I TURN TO CHRIST AND I
SAY, "LORD, REMEMBER ME."
00:48:00.30\00:48:07.36
HE'S GOT A GOOD MEMORY.
00:48:07.36\00:48:11.80
AND IF YOU AND I WILL TURN
TO GOD WITH ALL OUR HEARTS,
00:48:11.80\00:48:16.06
THE SAVIOR WILL CERTAINLY
SAY, "TRULY, TRULY, I SAY TO YOU
00:48:16.06\00:48:24.56
TODAY, YOU WILL BE
WITH ME IN PARADISE."
00:48:24.56\00:48:32.13
AMEN.
00:48:32.13\00:48:33.90
LET US KNEEL.
00:48:33.90\00:48:38.93
OUR FATHER, WE THANK
YOU THERE WAS SALVATION
00:48:44.33\00:48:46.90
FOR THE DYING THIEF.
00:48:46.90\00:48:50.06
WE THANK YOU THERE IS SALVATION
FOR LIVING THIEVES AS WELL WHEN
00:48:50.06\00:48:55.10
WE COME TO CHRIST AND WE
SAY, "LORD, I'M SO SORRY.
00:48:55.10\00:48:59.70
PLEASE REMEMBER ME WHEN
YOU COME INTO YOUR KINGDOM."
00:48:59.70\00:49:05.10
AS WE'RE ON OUR KNEES TODAY
IN THIS MAGNIFICENT CHURCH,
00:49:05.10\00:49:09.20
IN THIS GREAT COUNTRY, WE DESIRE
TO SEND A MESSAGE HOME TO YOU.
00:49:09.20\00:49:16.93
LORD, HELP US TO BE
SHAKEN OUT OF OUR COMPLACENCY.
00:49:16.93\00:49:23.46
HELP US TO SEE
THAT THE KING IS COMING.
00:49:23.46\00:49:28.70
HELP US TO REALIZE
IT'LL SOON ALL BE OVER.
00:49:28.70\00:49:33.40
AND TODAY WE WANT TO SAY TO
YOU TODAY, LORD, REMEMBER US
00:49:33.40\00:49:38.03
WHEN YOU COME INTO YOUR KINGDOM.
00:49:38.03\00:49:41.23
AND TODAY, OUR FATHER, WE WOULD
HAVE YOU SAY UNTO US, "TRULY,
00:49:41.23\00:49:47.03
TRULY I SAY TO YOU TODAY, YOU
WILL BE WITH ME IN PARADISE."
00:49:47.03\00:49:56.76
THANK YOU, LORD,
IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN.

WHAT A CHALLENGE, MY FRIEND?
00:55:16.23\00:55:17.80
DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE
LIVE IN THE LAND OF INDIA?
00:55:17.80\00:55:20.83
MORE THAN A THOUSAND MILLION
PEOPLE AND THE PLACE IS FULL

OF DEMONS AND EVIL SPIRITS.

STRONGER THAN THE EVIL SPIRITS.

JESUS HAS CALLED US TO GO.
