I'm John Carter in Moscow.
00:00:02.06\00:00:04.63
In Havana, Cuba.
00:00:04.67\00:00:07.24
Now in Kiev, the
capital of Ukraine.
00:00:07.27\00:00:10.54
I'm John Carter in Petra.
00:00:10.57\00:00:13.51
Right here in Communist China.
00:00:13.54\00:00:16.48
Reporting from India.
00:00:16.51\00:00:18.58
Hi, I'm John Carter
in the Solomon Islands.
00:00:18.61\00:00:21.55
I'm John Carter in
Soweto. From El Salvador.
00:00:21.58\00:00:26.39
I'm John Carter
in Sydney, Australia.
00:00:26.42\00:00:29.42
Now John
Carter's uplifting message
00:00:29.46\00:00:31.99
"On Top When You're Down Under."
00:00:32.03\00:00:36.73
Welcome today.
00:00:36.77\00:00:38.33
I've just returned
from the land of my birth,
00:00:38.37\00:00:42.14
the great land, down under.
00:00:42.17\00:00:45.34
And today, I'm going to tell you
00:00:45.37\00:00:46.74
how you can be on top
00:00:46.78\00:00:48.98
even when you're down under,
00:00:49.01\00:00:51.71
and how things
can be great for you,
00:00:51.75\00:00:54.48
when everything
seems impossible,
00:00:54.52\00:00:58.02
and when your
ancestors were convicts.
00:00:58.05\00:01:01.72
So the topic is
00:01:01.76\00:01:03.16
"On Top When You're Down Under."
00:01:03.19\00:01:05.66
I've got a text,
I'm going to read,
00:01:05.69\00:01:07.03
I want you to turn to
the Book of Deuteronomy,
00:01:07.06\00:01:08.63
if you don't mind.
00:01:08.66\00:01:10.07
Deuteronomy Chapter...
00:01:10.10\00:01:13.17
I'm starting to rush my words.
00:01:13.20\00:01:14.87
Deuteronomy 32:13 and 14.
00:01:14.90\00:01:21.58
I want to welcome the
audience around the world today.
00:01:21.61\00:01:24.55
Glad that you
joined us. Thank you.
00:01:24.58\00:01:27.02
Deuteronomy 32:13 and 14,
00:01:27.05\00:01:31.29
"He made him ride in
the heights of the earth,
00:01:31.32\00:01:35.66
that he might eat the
produce of the fields,
00:01:35.69\00:01:39.76
He made him draw
honey from the rock."
00:01:39.79\00:01:42.30
Isn't that great
expression, honey from the rock?
00:01:42.33\00:01:46.63
Doesn't get sweeter than that.
00:01:46.67\00:01:48.34
"And oil from the flinty rock,
00:01:48.37\00:01:51.34
curds from the cattle,
00:01:51.37\00:01:54.11
and milk of the
flocks with fat of lambs,
00:01:54.14\00:01:59.38
and rams of the breed of Bashan,
00:01:59.41\00:02:01.78
goats, with the choicest wheat.
00:02:01.82\00:02:05.95
And you drank wine,
00:02:05.99\00:02:08.39
the blood of the grapes."
00:02:08.42\00:02:09.76
Listen to this.
00:02:09.79\00:02:11.13
This seems a bit
too hard to believe,
00:02:11.16\00:02:12.49
I know, but it's true.
00:02:12.53\00:02:14.80
God said to His
people in the Bible,
00:02:14.83\00:02:18.70
"If they followed His ways,
and if they kept close to Him,
00:02:18.73\00:02:23.34
and if they kept
His commandments,
00:02:23.37\00:02:26.01
they would be the
most blessed people
00:02:26.04\00:02:28.18
on the face of the earth."
00:02:28.21\00:02:30.21
And even though a lot of
things have changed today,
00:02:30.25\00:02:33.48
the principles still apply.
00:02:33.52\00:02:36.72
The closer you
keep to the original,
00:02:36.75\00:02:39.65
the better you're going to be.
00:02:39.69\00:02:42.96
You're going to be
eating honey out of the rock.
00:02:42.99\00:02:46.39
I want you to
notice another text.
00:02:46.43\00:02:47.93
Come back to Deuteronomy,
00:02:47.96\00:02:50.80
Deuteronomy 28:13.
00:02:50.83\00:02:56.17
Deuteronomy
28:13. Have you got it?
00:02:56.20\00:03:02.58
Says,
00:03:02.61\00:03:03.95
"And the Lord will
make you," what does it say?
00:03:03.98\00:03:05.81
"He is gonna make you the head.
00:03:05.85\00:03:08.45
He's going to make you
the head and not the tail.
00:03:08.48\00:03:11.99
You shall be above
only and not beneath,
00:03:12.02\00:03:16.89
if you heed the commandments
of the Lord your God,
00:03:16.93\00:03:20.50
which I command you today,
00:03:20.53\00:03:22.73
and are careful
to observe them."
00:03:22.76\00:03:24.87
God says,
00:03:24.90\00:03:26.80
"The closer you come to Him
00:03:26.84\00:03:28.34
and the closer you come
to doing the will of God,
00:03:28.37\00:03:31.04
the better you're going to be."
00:03:31.07\00:03:33.17
You're going to be
eating honey out of the rock.
00:03:33.21\00:03:36.81
The Bible says,
00:03:36.85\00:03:38.18
"You're going to be the head
00:03:38.21\00:03:40.92
and you're not
going to be the tail."
00:03:40.95\00:03:42.92
In fact,
00:03:42.95\00:03:44.35
you're going to be on top
00:03:44.39\00:03:48.06
even if you're down under.
00:03:48.09\00:03:50.33
Have you seen this map?
00:03:50.36\00:03:52.39
New Zealanders invented this map
00:03:52.43\00:03:55.40
and it turns the
world upside down.
00:03:55.43\00:03:59.20
Have you seen this map before?
00:03:59.23\00:04:01.60
This is a real map.
00:04:01.64\00:04:04.61
You, Americans, have just
been deceived for so long.
00:04:04.64\00:04:07.84
This is how it really is.
00:04:07.88\00:04:09.78
And as David pointed
at to me today on this map
00:04:09.81\00:04:12.91
which was worked out
by the New Zealanders,
00:04:12.95\00:04:15.18
it's, not even Australia
00:04:15.22\00:04:16.75
that's on top of the
world or New Zealand,
00:04:16.79\00:04:19.12
bless your heart. It's Chile.
00:04:19.15\00:04:23.83
Somebody said, but of course,
that's absolutely ridiculous.
00:04:23.86\00:04:27.76
But did you know,
00:04:27.80\00:04:30.20
in space,
00:04:30.23\00:04:31.57
there's no such thing as North,
00:04:31.60\00:04:33.23
South, East, and West.
00:04:33.27\00:04:35.24
Is there now?
00:04:35.27\00:04:37.27
And so this person,
00:04:37.31\00:04:38.64
just having a little bit of fun
00:04:38.67\00:04:40.74
turned the world upside down.
00:04:40.78\00:04:47.08
The topic is
00:04:47.12\00:04:48.55
"On Top When You're Down Under."
00:04:48.58\00:04:52.79
Now, this is the truth
that I want you to get down
00:04:52.82\00:04:55.42
into the molecules of your mind.
00:04:55.46\00:04:58.49
God will bless you in proportion
00:04:58.53\00:05:02.03
to your conformity
to the will of God.
00:05:02.06\00:05:05.10
God will bless you in proportion
00:05:08.47\00:05:11.24
to your conformity
to the will of God.
00:05:11.27\00:05:13.88
You are saved...
00:05:13.91\00:05:15.24
Now, we're
talking about salvation.
00:05:15.28\00:05:16.85
You are saved by
grace through faith alone.
00:05:16.88\00:05:19.75
You are not saved by your works.
00:05:19.78\00:05:22.08
You are not saved
00:05:22.12\00:05:23.45
by keeping the
commandments of God.
00:05:23.49\00:05:26.79
This is what the Bible teaches.
00:05:26.82\00:05:28.22
Ephesians Chapter
2, and other passages.
00:05:28.26\00:05:30.53
But listen, listen.
00:05:30.56\00:05:32.73
There's another
side to the coin.
00:05:32.76\00:05:36.50
Salvation is by grace,
00:05:36.53\00:05:38.47
but prosperity is
the fruitage of obedience
00:05:38.50\00:05:42.94
to good principles,
00:05:42.97\00:05:45.24
including health,
00:05:45.27\00:05:47.98
and the closer you
approximate the will of God,
00:05:48.01\00:05:54.18
the more blessed,
the more fruitful,
00:05:54.22\00:05:58.09
the more healthful
you are going to be.
00:05:58.12\00:06:01.72
I'm going to say something
00:06:01.76\00:06:03.09
which is totally,
politically incorrect.
00:06:03.12\00:06:07.60
But I thought it on mind
being politically incorrect
00:06:07.63\00:06:10.43
because I really am.
00:06:10.47\00:06:14.24
This is true.
00:06:14.27\00:06:15.70
I've travelled the world,
00:06:15.74\00:06:17.21
gone round it many, many times,
00:06:17.24\00:06:18.67
gone to so many countries.
00:06:18.71\00:06:21.28
The best
countries in the world...
00:06:21.31\00:06:23.14
Oh, somebody says,
00:06:23.18\00:06:24.51
"You can't say one
country is better than another."
00:06:24.55\00:06:26.78
"Oh, you can't?
00:06:26.82\00:06:29.08
Try going and
living in some countries."
00:06:29.12\00:06:30.99
Why do you think
people by the millions
00:06:31.02\00:06:33.56
are trying to get into America
00:06:33.59\00:06:35.82
and are trying to
break down the doors?
00:06:35.86\00:06:38.73
Would you like to know why?
00:06:38.76\00:06:41.03
It's better here.
00:06:41.06\00:06:43.90
There are some
countries where it's better,
00:06:43.93\00:06:47.17
and some
countries are a living hell.
00:06:47.20\00:06:51.01
I've been to those countries.
00:06:51.04\00:06:52.94
It may be politically
incorrect, but it is correct.
00:06:52.97\00:06:56.71
The countries that came...
00:06:56.75\00:06:59.21
Now this is the most of
all political incorrectness.
00:06:59.25\00:07:03.12
The countries that came out,
00:07:03.15\00:07:06.32
originated in the
Protestant Reformation
00:07:06.35\00:07:12.03
became the best
countries in which to live.
00:07:12.06\00:07:16.63
That's not because the people
were intrinsically better,
00:07:16.67\00:07:21.04
but because the people
00:07:21.07\00:07:23.00
were following
better principles.
00:07:23.04\00:07:28.14
That's why people are
breaking down the walls
00:07:28.18\00:07:32.48
to get into America
and some other countries.
00:07:32.51\00:07:36.42
Let me give you a few
facts about Australia,
00:07:36.45\00:07:38.89
the land of my birth.
00:07:38.92\00:07:40.82
And if it seems
today that I am boasting,
00:07:40.86\00:07:45.73
it's possibly because I am.
00:07:45.76\00:07:47.96
But Americans will understand
00:07:48.00\00:07:50.47
one boaster to another.
00:07:50.50\00:07:55.80
Okay, we can have
a little bit of fun.
00:07:55.84\00:07:58.07
Australia was discovered
and claimed by Britain in 1770.
00:07:58.11\00:08:04.28
It was discovered
by Captain James Cook
00:08:04.31\00:08:08.15
of Her Majesty's
ship, The Endeavour.
00:08:08.18\00:08:13.15
He discovered a
large deserted place
00:08:13.19\00:08:16.96
of three million square miles.
00:08:16.99\00:08:20.00
It's big as the United
States, the continental USA,
00:08:20.03\00:08:24.03
inhabited by
different tribes of aborigines.
00:08:24.07\00:08:30.01
There were no towns, no cities,
00:08:30.04\00:08:33.91
no buildings, no
roads, no written language,
00:08:33.94\00:08:38.78
no cattle, no
sheep, no goats, no horses
00:08:38.81\00:08:42.62
but millions of
kangaroos and koala bears.
00:08:42.65\00:08:47.59
Previously,
00:08:47.62\00:08:48.96
it had been
discovered by the Dutch
00:08:48.99\00:08:50.66
who called it New Holland,
00:08:50.69\00:08:54.03
though it certainly
didn't look like Holland.
00:08:54.06\00:08:59.13
The American experience
and the Australian experience,
00:08:59.17\00:09:04.24
they're quite similar.
00:09:04.27\00:09:08.21
American and the Indians
is quite similar to Australia
00:09:08.24\00:09:12.78
and the aborigines.
00:09:12.81\00:09:16.48
And the whites did
some very bad things.
00:09:16.52\00:09:20.66
The early English in Australia
00:09:20.69\00:09:22.82
because we were
descended from the English.
00:09:22.86\00:09:26.76
They did some bad
things to the aborigines,
00:09:26.80\00:09:30.13
and Australia has been
doing penance ever since.
00:09:30.17\00:09:35.97
With billions and billions
00:09:36.00\00:09:37.77
and billions of dollars in aid,
00:09:37.81\00:09:43.04
but I'm sorry to tell you,
00:09:43.08\00:09:44.45
you do not solve some problems
00:09:44.48\00:09:46.65
by throwing
money at the problems.
00:09:46.68\00:09:50.42
As Americans have discovered
00:09:50.45\00:09:53.86
that we have poured
tens of trillions of dollars
00:09:53.89\00:09:59.13
into the inner cities
00:09:59.16\00:10:00.66
since the days of LBJ,
00:10:00.70\00:10:03.83
and there is more
crime today in America
00:10:03.87\00:10:07.30
than before the
invention of the great society.
00:10:07.34\00:10:12.77
So money is not the
solution to all of our problems.
00:10:12.81\00:10:18.45
Who were the early
settlers of the land down under?
00:10:18.48\00:10:23.28
Well, they were convicts,
and soldiers, and officers,
00:10:23.32\00:10:29.82
and government
officials, and chaplains.
00:10:29.86\00:10:33.50
One of the first
buildings they put up
00:10:33.53\00:10:36.00
after they landed in
Sydney Cove was a church.
00:10:36.03\00:10:41.50
And the convicts got a
healthy dose of religion
00:10:41.54\00:10:45.77
between the lashes,
00:10:45.81\00:10:47.94
and so they would be
lashed for next to nothing
00:10:47.98\00:10:51.28
and then,
00:10:51.31\00:10:52.78
they would have
prayers said over their heads.
00:10:52.81\00:10:56.95
So the early Australians
got lashings and prayers,
00:10:56.99\00:11:01.32
which is one of the
reasons so many Australians
00:11:01.36\00:11:04.59
are somewhat anti-establishment
00:11:04.63\00:11:08.90
and distrust churches,
and big titles, and officials.
00:11:08.93\00:11:15.17
Australia, however,
00:11:18.31\00:11:19.87
in spite of all
herd of fish and seas
00:11:19.91\00:11:22.94
was based on
Christian principles.
00:11:22.98\00:11:26.82
It was not
established as a Muslim country
00:11:26.85\00:11:31.35
or as a Hindu country.
00:11:31.39\00:11:35.26
One of the leaders of Australia,
00:11:35.29\00:11:37.23
a number of years
ago, said to those people
00:11:37.26\00:11:40.30
who were
immigrated to Australia,
00:11:40.33\00:11:42.40
and who were trying
to destroy the place
00:11:42.43\00:11:46.00
and impose upon the Australians,
00:11:46.03\00:11:48.37
sharia law,
00:11:48.40\00:11:51.71
the law of the Quran.
00:11:51.74\00:11:53.14
He said, "Pardon me.
00:11:53.17\00:11:55.71
When you come to Australia,
00:11:55.74\00:11:57.55
you have many rights,
00:11:57.58\00:12:00.32
you have the right
of freedom of religion,
00:12:00.35\00:12:04.29
and freedom of speech.
00:12:04.32\00:12:05.92
You can criticize the
government all-day long
00:12:05.95\00:12:09.22
until the cows come home."
00:12:09.26\00:12:11.49
He said, "You have
many, many freedoms,
00:12:11.53\00:12:14.30
but remember this,
00:12:14.33\00:12:16.30
this country was based
on Christian principles,
00:12:16.33\00:12:20.50
not on the
teachings of Muhammad."
00:12:20.54\00:12:23.61
So he said,
00:12:23.64\00:12:24.97
"We extend to
you a warm welcome,
00:12:25.01\00:12:27.18
you are welcome here,
and you have many rights.
00:12:27.21\00:12:33.42
And there's
another right you have.
00:12:33.45\00:12:35.22
If you don't like it here,
00:12:35.25\00:12:38.12
you have the right to leave,
00:12:38.15\00:12:43.02
the right to leave."
00:12:43.06\00:12:45.59
And, of course, that
was politically incorrect,
00:12:45.63\00:12:47.96
but he told the truth.
00:12:48.00\00:12:51.87
Australia was based
on Christian principles.
00:12:51.90\00:12:55.57
Today, it's only a
little country in population,
00:12:55.60\00:13:00.64
but it is the 12th
largest economy in the world.
00:13:00.68\00:13:05.31
And the Economist Magazine
00:13:05.35\00:13:07.02
that everybody who
wants to know anything reads,
00:13:07.05\00:13:10.99
the Economist Magazine says,
00:13:11.02\00:13:13.42
"It has had the
best economy in the world
00:13:13.46\00:13:15.62
for the last 20 years,
00:13:15.66\00:13:18.16
but success in
material things is not enough."
00:13:18.19\00:13:22.93
Jesus said,
00:13:22.96\00:13:24.40
"Man shall not
live by bread alone,
00:13:24.43\00:13:28.27
but by every word that proceeds
out of the mouth of God."
00:13:28.30\00:13:34.34
And you can make a
country tremendously prosperous,
00:13:34.38\00:13:38.15
and that country
can still go to hell.
00:13:38.18\00:13:42.15
You understand what I'm
talking about here today?
00:13:42.18\00:13:45.25
There are things more important
00:13:45.29\00:13:48.59
than a booming economy.
00:13:48.62\00:13:53.13
But when we'd look at the
economy in Australia today,
00:13:53.16\00:13:57.20
one is forced to say,
00:13:57.23\00:13:58.60
"One can succeed in
spite of your background."
00:13:58.63\00:14:02.74
You should never let
the past hold you back.
00:14:05.77\00:14:09.64
I'd be proud to say,
00:14:09.68\00:14:12.61
"My great, great, great
grandfather was a convict,"
00:14:12.65\00:14:17.75
like my friend, Graham
Bradford was proud of saying.
00:14:17.79\00:14:21.36
He said, "One of my ancestors
came out in the first fleet,
00:14:21.39\00:14:25.26
one of my
ancestors was a convict."
00:14:25.29\00:14:27.30
I can't say
that and I regret it.
00:14:27.33\00:14:30.10
My folks came out
long after the convicts,
00:14:33.77\00:14:36.14
they came from
England and Ireland.
00:14:36.17\00:14:40.98
The early Australians
were largely a Christian people
00:14:41.01\00:14:45.51
who feared God and
who believed in hard work.
00:14:45.55\00:14:49.82
When I was
brought up in Australia,
00:14:49.85\00:14:52.35
even though it was fast
becoming a secular nation,
00:14:52.39\00:14:56.66
I was taught up to
fear God and respect God,
00:14:56.69\00:15:02.03
to love God,
00:15:02.06\00:15:04.27
and to love my
country, and to honor the King.
00:15:04.30\00:15:09.10
I was brought
up with patriotism,
00:15:09.14\00:15:12.04
but with the Bible.
00:15:12.07\00:15:13.41
My earliest days were being
taught from the Word of God.
00:15:13.44\00:15:16.95
When I went to state
school, listen to this,
00:15:16.98\00:15:19.71
can you believe
this, my Americans friends?
00:15:19.75\00:15:22.35
When I went to state
school, as a little boy,
00:15:22.38\00:15:25.92
the first thing we
did was the headmaster,
00:15:25.95\00:15:28.49
Mr. Conroy would say,
00:15:28.52\00:15:30.86
"Before we start this day,
00:15:30.89\00:15:32.79
we will have a
text from the Bible."
00:15:32.83\00:15:36.56
And we were taught a text.
00:15:36.60\00:15:38.40
If we didn't learn
it, we get a beating.
00:15:38.43\00:15:43.14
And then he would say,
00:15:43.17\00:15:44.51
"Let us pray to the
great God who made us."
00:15:44.54\00:15:46.71
And he would say the
prayer in Jesus' name,
00:15:46.74\00:15:50.91
in the name of our
Lord and our Savior.
00:15:50.95\00:15:54.98
Even today,
00:15:55.02\00:15:56.89
pastors go to state
schools and teach the Bible.
00:15:56.92\00:16:02.42
It is the part of our culture.
00:16:02.46\00:16:06.49
I was brought up
believing in hard work.
00:16:06.53\00:16:09.33
I have no
sympathy for lazy people.
00:16:09.36\00:16:14.44
The Bible says,
00:16:14.47\00:16:16.24
"If a person will not work,"
it doesn't say can't work.
00:16:16.27\00:16:20.64
"But if a person will not
work, neither should he eat."
00:16:20.68\00:16:26.48
And if we let lazy
people starve for a little bit,
00:16:26.51\00:16:29.82
they might reform their morals.
00:16:29.85\00:16:33.19
So I was brought up in a society
00:16:33.22\00:16:35.52
that believed in the
Bible and believed in hard work.
00:16:35.56\00:16:40.06
Just because you're down under,
00:16:40.10\00:16:41.43
doesn't mean
you can't be on top.
00:16:41.46\00:16:43.67
Do not let the
past hold you back.
00:16:43.70\00:16:47.37
You all know of Dr. Ben Carson,
00:16:47.40\00:16:49.80
one of the most
famous doctors in the world,
00:16:49.84\00:16:52.17
the famous neurosurgeon
from John Hopkins University.
00:16:52.21\00:16:58.38
I heard Dr. Carson, he
is getting this wonderful,
00:16:58.41\00:17:02.15
wonderful gift from
President George Bush.
00:17:02.18\00:17:08.52
He said this,
00:17:08.56\00:17:10.49
"My ancestors in
America were slaves,
00:17:10.53\00:17:16.26
but I'm not going to let my past
00:17:16.30\00:17:19.47
determine who I am."
00:17:19.50\00:17:23.10
You hear what I'm saying?
00:17:23.14\00:17:24.47
I don't care if
your ancestor was a slave
00:17:24.51\00:17:30.51
or a convict.
00:17:30.55\00:17:32.41
That does not
define who you are.
00:17:32.45\00:17:36.92
I am defined by my
relationship to God,
00:17:36.95\00:17:40.06
and to my
brothers and my sisters.
00:17:40.09\00:17:43.63
You hear what I am saying?
00:17:43.66\00:17:46.43
So it doesn't
matter where you came from
00:17:46.46\00:17:49.76
or whether your
ancestor was a convict.
00:17:49.80\00:17:53.54
Indulge me.
00:17:53.57\00:17:54.90
I wanna give you some
more facts about Australia.
00:17:54.94\00:17:56.97
Paul said, "Bear
with me in my boastings."
00:17:57.01\00:18:00.48
2 Corinthians 11:18.
00:18:00.51\00:18:03.04
I'm going to read this text
00:18:03.08\00:18:04.88
because it justifies
my conduct to praise him.
00:18:04.91\00:18:08.15
Paul says,
"Seeing that many boast,
00:18:08.18\00:18:11.15
according to the flesh,"
oops, "I also will boast."
00:18:11.19\00:18:15.42
And so I'm going to ask my...
00:18:15.46\00:18:17.56
Now, the Australians
watching this program
00:18:17.59\00:18:19.89
will be saying amen and amen,
00:18:19.93\00:18:22.56
but I'm talking here
today to my friends in America,
00:18:22.60\00:18:25.17
this land that I love.
00:18:25.20\00:18:26.84
Let me share
with you a few facts
00:18:26.87\00:18:28.74
about the land down under.
00:18:28.77\00:18:31.74
It is a big country,
00:18:31.77\00:18:34.28
a three million square miles,
00:18:34.31\00:18:35.64
but has a small
population of 25 million people.
00:18:35.68\00:18:42.08
The size of three
million square miles makes it
00:18:42.12\00:18:44.95
the biggest island
under God's blue sky
00:18:44.99\00:18:48.09
and the smallest inhabitant.
00:18:48.12\00:18:51.19
If you, notice on the
screen, here we've got it.
00:18:51.23\00:18:56.26
There you got Australia,
00:18:56.30\00:18:57.97
you can work it
out very, very plainly.
00:18:58.00\00:19:00.67
And there in the yellow,
00:19:00.70\00:19:02.40
you have the
United States of America.
00:19:02.44\00:19:05.64
People say, "No, no, no."
00:19:05.67\00:19:09.18
They will say, "We
never, never knew this."
00:19:09.21\00:19:11.01
When I went to Texas,
00:19:11.05\00:19:13.01
the Texans told me
00:19:13.05\00:19:14.52
that Texas was
bigger than Australia.
00:19:14.55\00:19:18.69
God bless them.
That's patriotism, folks.
00:19:18.72\00:19:21.29
That's really good.
00:19:21.32\00:19:22.72
But if you fly,
00:19:22.76\00:19:24.09
say from Perth over
here right across Sydney,
00:19:24.13\00:19:29.76
it's like flying from
Los Angeles to New York.
00:19:29.80\00:19:35.07
Once you go to Australia,
00:19:35.10\00:19:36.60
you seem to be
able to drive forever
00:19:36.64\00:19:40.64
without seeing anybody.
00:19:40.68\00:19:43.88
America has 330 million
people in the same size,
00:19:43.91\00:19:48.68
but Australia has 25 million.
00:19:48.72\00:19:50.49
People have often said to me,
00:19:53.49\00:19:55.16
"What's the
climate like in Australia?"
00:19:55.19\00:19:57.99
Oh, you want to know
what the climate's like?
00:19:58.03\00:20:00.60
What part of Australia?
00:20:00.63\00:20:03.47
Because if you go to
the far north in Australia,
00:20:03.50\00:20:06.40
and I've been there,
00:20:06.43\00:20:08.20
you have the tropics,
everything is upside down.
00:20:08.24\00:20:12.01
In the South, it's
cold, but in the North,
00:20:12.04\00:20:15.64
you have the
tropics with water buffalo
00:20:15.68\00:20:20.02
and salt water
crocodiles that we call salties.
00:20:20.05\00:20:26.19
Somebody came to
me before and said,
00:20:26.22\00:20:28.29
"Look at this giant alligator
00:20:28.32\00:20:30.53
that they caught
down in Florida."
00:20:30.56\00:20:33.70
Oh dear!
00:20:33.73\00:20:36.46
Seven hundred pounds, oh dear.
00:20:36.50\00:20:40.47
This crocodile was caught
when I was over there recently.
00:20:40.50\00:20:44.14
I was not there.
00:20:44.17\00:20:45.51
This is in the
northern territory
00:20:45.54\00:20:46.88
more than 1000
miles from where I was.
00:20:46.91\00:20:50.18
But this monster was
18 feet 3 inches long
00:20:50.21\00:20:55.52
and weighed more than a ton,
00:20:55.55\00:20:59.45
about four times bigger
than a big Florida alligator.
00:20:59.49\00:21:04.86
This wide at the shoulders,
00:21:04.89\00:21:07.76
can run almost
as fast as a horse
00:21:07.80\00:21:10.30
when he gets up on those
legs for just a little bit.
00:21:10.33\00:21:14.10
With a great intelligence,
he stalks his prey.
00:21:14.14\00:21:19.74
So that is in the northern
territory, water buffalo
00:21:19.77\00:21:25.75
and the salties in the south.
00:21:25.78\00:21:29.55
In wintertime,
00:21:29.58\00:21:30.92
there are mountains
which had deluged with snow.
00:21:30.95\00:21:36.26
There is more snow
on the Southern Alps
00:21:36.29\00:21:41.26
in winter time than
in all of Switzerland.
00:21:41.30\00:21:45.73
What does that prove?
00:21:45.77\00:21:47.10
That Switzerland is
just a little country,
00:21:47.14\00:21:51.04
but there is a lot
of snow, I've seen it.
00:21:51.07\00:21:54.44
When you can't see the
tops of the telegraph poles
00:21:54.48\00:21:58.11
that are 30 feet high,
00:21:58.15\00:22:00.32
the poles just
sticking at the top.
00:22:00.35\00:22:04.19
And so in a good
winter, there's lots of snow.
00:22:04.22\00:22:09.59
It is a wealthy country,
00:22:09.62\00:22:11.99
like the great United
States of America that I love
00:22:12.03\00:22:16.43
and the countries that came out
of the Protestant Reformation.
00:22:16.46\00:22:21.40
Australia has been blessed
with freedom and prosperity,
00:22:21.44\00:22:25.77
it is still riding the wave.
00:22:25.81\00:22:29.61
And lot of people
don't understand this.
00:22:29.64\00:22:31.11
Let me show you the wave.
00:22:31.15\00:22:34.05
The world was in the
Dark Ages, in poverty,
00:22:34.08\00:22:38.92
no freedom, no liberty.
00:22:38.95\00:22:41.12
People say, "No, this
is not politically correct,
00:22:41.16\00:22:42.52
this is not true."
00:22:42.56\00:22:43.89
No, it is true.
00:22:43.93\00:22:45.76
It is true. Go, please.
00:22:45.79\00:22:49.13
Become intelligent with history.
00:22:49.16\00:22:50.87
Then there came the
Protestant Reformers,
00:22:50.90\00:22:53.34
Martin Luther and Co,
00:22:53.37\00:22:56.04
and they preached the
true gospel of Christ,
00:22:56.07\00:22:58.71
and they preached the Bible.
00:22:58.74\00:23:01.74
And this brought upon the world
00:23:01.78\00:23:04.71
the great wave of freedom.
00:23:04.75\00:23:07.52
If the Protestant Reformation
had not been carried out
00:23:07.55\00:23:12.35
by the great
people like Martin Luther,
00:23:12.39\00:23:14.72
there would
have been no America,
00:23:14.76\00:23:17.69
no Canada, no Great Britain.
00:23:17.73\00:23:21.60
Why do you think the people from
00:23:21.63\00:23:25.30
this area, the Dark Ages,
00:23:25.33\00:23:27.14
the church of the Dark Ages,
00:23:27.17\00:23:28.70
why are they trying
to get into Australia?
00:23:28.74\00:23:31.07
Why are they trying
to get into America?
00:23:31.11\00:23:33.07
Please be honest.
00:23:33.11\00:23:35.14
Because it's better here,
00:23:35.18\00:23:37.88
because the Protestant
Reformation gave birth,
00:23:37.91\00:23:41.78
my friend,
00:23:41.82\00:23:43.15
to the great democracies.
00:23:43.18\00:23:48.52
And unless you have
this great reformation,
00:23:48.56\00:23:51.63
you don't have
the great democracies,
00:23:51.66\00:23:53.36
and the great democracies
00:23:53.40\00:23:55.03
brought about an era of freedom.
00:23:55.06\00:23:57.80
And today, even
though the wave is greatly,
00:23:57.83\00:24:01.40
greatly diminished,
00:24:01.44\00:24:05.11
we're still riding a
little bit of the wave.
00:24:05.14\00:24:09.34
And that is why
America is still prosperous.
00:24:09.38\00:24:15.95
There are two countries,
I'm not ashamed to say it,
00:24:15.98\00:24:19.05
very close to my heart.
00:24:19.09\00:24:20.42
I love England.
00:24:20.46\00:24:21.92
My ancestors came from England.
00:24:21.96\00:24:24.83
I love royalty, it's part of me,
00:24:24.86\00:24:28.66
I was born with this.
00:24:28.70\00:24:30.70
Used to sing "God save the King"
00:24:30.73\00:24:32.93
every morning at school.
00:24:32.97\00:24:36.24
But the two
countries closest to my heart,
00:24:36.27\00:24:39.41
Australia and the
United States of America,
00:24:39.44\00:24:44.91
they were founded on
the same great principles,
00:24:44.95\00:24:47.72
Christian principles.
00:24:47.75\00:24:49.58
We were not
founded on the Quran.
00:24:49.62\00:24:52.55
Don't listen to the
lies where people tell us
00:24:52.59\00:24:56.46
that the founding fathers
of this country were atheists.
00:24:56.49\00:25:00.70
That's a lie.
00:25:00.73\00:25:02.96
Lie, lie, lie!
00:25:03.00\00:25:05.93
George Washington said,
00:25:05.97\00:25:07.54
"It's impossible
to govern a nation
00:25:07.57\00:25:10.87
without God and the Bible.
00:25:10.91\00:25:14.44
So don't let
people put you down.
00:25:14.48\00:25:17.75
I have great love for America,
00:25:17.78\00:25:21.38
I have great love
for the land of my birth.
00:25:21.42\00:25:23.79
I have two passports.
00:25:23.82\00:25:26.86
I'm blessed to call
both countries home.
00:25:26.89\00:25:32.56
I've been
blessed to live in places
00:25:32.59\00:25:35.90
where people read
and believe the Bible,
00:25:35.93\00:25:41.94
where I was taught to fear God
00:25:41.97\00:25:43.97
and to work hard.
00:25:47.08\00:25:48.41
Now we're going to
have a little pause,
00:25:51.41\00:25:53.15
but I'm going to be
back with more amazing truths
00:25:53.18\00:25:57.95
from the land down under,
00:25:57.99\00:25:59.32
how can you be on top
00:25:59.35\00:26:01.89
even when your grandfather
was a slave or a convict?
00:26:01.92\00:26:07.46
Stay with us.
00:26:07.50\00:26:08.83
The Word began in a village.
00:26:22.38\00:26:25.88
Churches and schools
sprang up and multiplied
00:26:25.91\00:26:30.42
reaching into the city.
00:26:30.45\00:26:33.82
Great truths
revealed to the people
00:26:33.86\00:26:36.22
of Papua New Guinea,
00:26:36.26\00:26:38.29
changing thousands of lives.
00:26:38.33\00:26:41.56
Our eyes are going to be opened
00:26:41.60\00:26:44.60
to the discovery
of amazing truths,
00:26:44.63\00:26:48.40
the greatest truth in the Bible,
00:26:48.44\00:26:50.27
it is the truth
that God loves you.
00:26:50.31\00:26:54.04
It has
completely changed my life,
00:26:54.08\00:26:55.94
and I'm going to be
baptized this Sabbath.
00:26:55.98\00:26:58.21
Pastor Carter has
put something in my heart
00:26:58.25\00:27:00.68
that I will never forget.
00:27:00.72\00:27:02.05
Thank you, Pastor
Carter, for your program.
00:27:02.08\00:27:04.09
It has changed
my life completely.
00:27:04.12\00:27:06.32
John Carter's Great Truth
Revealed was recorded live

Greater Manila is
more than 20 million souls.
00:27:24.37\00:27:27.88
Almost all these
beautiful people are ignorant
00:27:27.91\00:27:30.55
of the true Gospel of Christ.
00:27:30.58\00:27:32.61
Manila needs Jesus.
00:27:32.65\00:27:34.62

truths of the Bible.
00:27:43.89\00:27:46.09
Don't water down the message.
00:27:46.13\00:27:47.96
Make it plain, make it
clear, make it Christ centered.
00:27:48.00\00:27:52.13
