00:00:13.51\00:00:16.38
Reporting from India.
00:00:16.41\00:00:18.51
Hi, I'm John Carter
in the Solomon Islands.
00:00:18.55\00:00:21.48
I'm John Carter in Soweto.
00:00:21.52\00:00:23.99
From El Salvador.
00:00:24.02\00:00:26.32

00:00:26.35\00:00:29.79
Join us with
questions and answers
00:00:29.82\00:00:32.53
with Pastor John Carter.
00:00:32.56\00:00:34.10
Hello, friend.
00:00:36.87\00:00:38.20
I'm John Carter in Los Angeles.
00:00:38.23\00:00:40.64
Welcome to this
special Q&A session.
00:00:40.67\00:00:44.14
We're so glad
that you joined us.
00:00:44.17\00:00:46.94
Now we're right in the
midst of this dreadful pandemic.
00:00:46.98\00:00:51.71
And tens of
thousands of people have died.
00:00:51.75\00:00:55.52
And right now there doesn't seem
00:00:55.55\00:00:56.92
to be any end to it.
00:00:56.95\00:00:59.45
And so we don't
have a studio audience
00:00:59.49\00:01:01.32
and sitting down
in the back today,
00:01:01.36\00:01:03.56
we have a famous
voice in America,
00:01:03.59\00:01:07.96
Wayne Hackett.
00:01:08.00\00:01:09.76
Now you're not going
to see Wayne on camera
00:01:09.80\00:01:11.57
because of social distancing.
00:01:11.60\00:01:14.24
We want to be
very, very careful.
00:01:14.27\00:01:17.97
And we want to be
very responsible citizens
00:01:18.01\00:01:21.24
and try to get a
handle on this COVID-19.
00:01:21.28\00:01:25.98
Now from time to time,
00:01:26.01\00:01:27.82
people send us questions
and all of the questions,
00:01:27.85\00:01:31.32
great questions.
00:01:31.35\00:01:34.22
Today, we're gonna deal
with some of those questions.
00:01:34.26\00:01:36.22
We're gonna deal with
questions that came in
00:01:36.26\00:01:38.53
some time ago.
00:01:38.56\00:01:40.06
And some questions
that talk about things
00:01:40.10\00:01:43.33
that are happening today,
00:01:43.37\00:01:45.13
right here in Los Angeles
00:01:45.17\00:01:47.44
and in the United
States of America.
00:01:47.47\00:01:49.84
You're going to
enjoy this program.
00:01:49.87\00:01:52.17
And so my friend,
00:01:52.21\00:01:53.68
I'm John Carter
and welcome today
00:01:53.71\00:01:57.71
to the Carter Report.
00:01:57.75\00:02:00.55
What do you think
about Black Lives Matter?
00:02:00.58\00:02:03.35
Black Lives do matter, Wayne.
00:02:03.39\00:02:06.12
And there's a reason
that Black Lives Matter,
00:02:06.15\00:02:08.79
there's a good reason.
00:02:08.82\00:02:11.26
They matter because every person
00:02:11.29\00:02:14.26
is a child of God.
00:02:14.30\00:02:15.90
When I read the
Book of Beginnings,
00:02:17.93\00:02:20.30
the Book of Genesis,
00:02:20.34\00:02:22.20
I discovered there that man
00:02:22.24\00:02:24.51
was made in the
very image of God.
00:02:24.54\00:02:28.61
And so a black life is
made in the very image of God.
00:02:28.64\00:02:33.68
If you've got a
problem with that,
00:02:33.72\00:02:35.72
it's because you've
got a problem with God.
00:02:35.75\00:02:39.69
Somebody said
this whole question
00:02:39.72\00:02:42.52
of racism is not so
much a social problem,
00:02:42.56\00:02:47.63
it is a spiritual problem.
00:02:47.66\00:02:52.07
You see, the
closer you come to God,
00:02:52.10\00:02:55.94
the closer you come
00:02:55.97\00:02:57.64
to your brothers
and your sisters.
00:02:57.67\00:03:00.41
Yes, of course, I
believe it with all my soul.
00:03:00.44\00:03:04.78
Black Lives do matter.
00:03:04.81\00:03:07.32
And this, of course,
00:03:07.35\00:03:08.68
was the teaching
00:03:08.72\00:03:10.05
of the great Martin Luther King.
00:03:10.09\00:03:14.02
Martin Luther King,
00:03:14.06\00:03:15.39
this mighty man of God
who stood against injustice
00:03:15.42\00:03:20.26
and racism in America.
00:03:20.30\00:03:23.60
He taught the truth
that every person is distinct
00:03:23.63\00:03:27.20
and glorious
because every person
00:03:27.24\00:03:30.61
is made in the image of God.
00:03:30.64\00:03:33.64
Now when I was a little boy,
00:03:33.68\00:03:36.61
growing up in Australia,
00:03:36.64\00:03:40.22
I was taken along
00:03:40.25\00:03:41.62
to an
old-fashioned camp meeting.
00:03:41.65\00:03:45.49
And there I met a
mighty man of God.
00:03:45.52\00:03:47.96
He came from
the Solomon Islands.
00:03:47.99\00:03:50.73
His name was Pastor Kata Ragaso.
00:03:50.76\00:03:55.80
He was beaten up by soldiers
during the Second World War,
00:03:55.83\00:04:00.74
but he stood up for Christ.
00:04:00.77\00:04:02.50
They couldn't get him to
go against his conscience.
00:04:02.54\00:04:06.21
When I met this man,
00:04:06.24\00:04:08.18
and when I looked into his face,
00:04:08.21\00:04:10.25
I looked into the face
of a mighty man of God.
00:04:10.28\00:04:14.25
And he influenced my life
00:04:14.28\00:04:17.19
and he still
influences my life today.
00:04:17.22\00:04:22.16
And there's a text
I want to read to you
00:04:22.19\00:04:24.43
from the Holy Scriptures.
00:04:24.46\00:04:26.90
The Bible says in Acts 17:28,
00:04:26.93\00:04:31.33
"For in Him we live and
move and have our being."
00:04:31.37\00:04:35.04
The Him, of course, is God.
00:04:35.07\00:04:37.54
"As also some of
your own poets have said,
00:04:37.57\00:04:41.44
'For we are
also,'" What does it say?
00:04:41.48\00:04:45.21
"His offspring."
00:04:45.25\00:04:48.92
We are the offspring of God.
00:04:48.95\00:04:52.05
And therefore, I say
to you in the name of God,
00:04:52.09\00:04:57.03
Black Lives Matter.
00:04:57.06\00:04:59.76
Do you think
America is a racist country?
00:04:59.79\00:05:03.16
Do I think America
is a racist country?
00:05:03.20\00:05:05.87
Of course,
there are some racists
00:05:08.97\00:05:11.47
in America.
00:05:11.51\00:05:13.58
Of course, there
are some racists.
00:05:13.61\00:05:17.31
I've met some, but I'm
gonna tell you folks something.
00:05:17.35\00:05:21.38
A country that
is basically racist
00:05:21.42\00:05:25.79
would not have
elected a black man
00:05:25.82\00:05:28.92
as the President
00:05:28.96\00:05:30.33
of the United States of America.
00:05:30.36\00:05:32.99
And I refer to Barack Obama.
00:05:33.03\00:05:37.93
And so I don't believe
that America is basically
00:05:37.97\00:05:42.80
a racist country.
00:05:42.84\00:05:44.17
I believe America has
made tremendous strides
00:05:44.21\00:05:47.88
as far as racism is concerned.
00:05:47.91\00:05:51.25
Do you think black people
have been oppressed in America?
00:05:51.28\00:05:54.68
Well, my friend, Wayne,
00:05:54.72\00:05:58.55
what would you
call slavery, Brother?
00:05:58.59\00:06:02.66
It's one of the greatest blights
00:06:02.69\00:06:04.06
upon the human race.
00:06:04.09\00:06:06.56
Yes, black people have
been oppressed in America.
00:06:06.59\00:06:10.17
And now we are paying the price.
00:06:10.20\00:06:13.37
I was astounded.
00:06:13.40\00:06:15.20
The other day
when I was checking up
00:06:15.24\00:06:17.17
on this subject to
discover that around
00:06:17.21\00:06:20.91
the world today
there are tens of millions
00:06:20.94\00:06:23.81
of people still in slavery.
00:06:23.85\00:06:27.98
Can you believe it?
00:06:28.02\00:06:30.09
And they're in slavery
because people have not got
00:06:30.12\00:06:34.76
a relationship with God.
00:06:34.79\00:06:38.03
Because if you have a
relationship with God,
00:06:38.06\00:06:40.96
you will believe that
every person is a child of God.
00:06:41.00\00:06:45.73
I want to read you
from the words of Christ.
00:06:45.77\00:06:48.97
Luke 4:18, Jesus said,
00:06:49.00\00:06:54.94
"The Spirit of
the Lord is upon Me.
00:06:54.98\00:06:59.51
Because He has anointed
me to preach the gospel,
00:06:59.55\00:07:03.79
the good news to the poor.
00:07:03.82\00:07:05.95
He has sent Me to
heal the brokenhearted,
00:07:05.99\00:07:10.56
to reclaim
liberty to the captives
00:07:10.59\00:07:13.90
and recovery of
sight to the blind,
00:07:13.93\00:07:16.56
to set at liberty
those who are oppressed."
00:07:16.60\00:07:21.50
And there's a little
story I like to tell people.
00:07:21.54\00:07:26.44
The first person
who released the slaves
00:07:26.47\00:07:31.25
in the United States
of America was a Carter.
00:07:31.28\00:07:37.49
You would say,
"You got to be kidding."
00:07:37.52\00:07:38.85
No, I'm not kidding.
00:07:38.89\00:07:40.22
His name was Robert Carter,
00:07:40.26\00:07:42.86
and he had a son by
the name of John Carter.
00:07:42.89\00:07:48.43
Those folks were
neighbors of George Washington
00:07:48.46\00:07:52.13
and some of the founding fathers
00:07:52.17\00:07:54.50
of the United States of America.
00:07:54.54\00:07:57.91
And as they
studied the scriptures,
00:07:57.94\00:08:00.01
they came to the
biblical conclusion
00:08:00.04\00:08:03.51
that every person is important
00:08:03.55\00:08:06.11
in the sight of God
and Black Lives do matter.
00:08:06.15\00:08:11.52
As a Christian,
00:08:11.55\00:08:13.05
I believe that every
person is a child of God.
00:08:13.09\00:08:19.46
Would you join the
protesters in a march?
00:08:19.49\00:08:22.66
Would I join the
protesters in a march?
00:08:22.70\00:08:27.70
Well, that depends
why they're marching.
00:08:27.74\00:08:33.74
If they are marching
for liberty and freedom,
00:08:33.78\00:08:38.35
and keeping the Lord of God,
00:08:38.38\00:08:42.35
if they're marching for
the right to worship God
00:08:42.38\00:08:48.82
and also
legitimate civil rights,
00:08:48.86\00:08:52.19
of course, I would.
00:08:52.23\00:08:53.70
Marching in
America and demonstrating
00:08:57.30\00:09:00.57
for human rights
and divine rights
00:09:00.60\00:09:05.41
is as much a part of
America as apple pie.
00:09:05.44\00:09:11.01
If you're against
peaceful protests,
00:09:11.05\00:09:14.02
you shouldn't live in America.
00:09:14.05\00:09:15.98
I would say to you
try living in Russia.
00:09:16.02\00:09:20.06
And if you don't like
Russia, try living in China,
00:09:20.09\00:09:24.43
which is
oppressing a great group
00:09:24.46\00:09:28.30
of people and have
them in concentration camps,
00:09:28.33\00:09:32.90
a million of them.
00:09:32.93\00:09:35.74
So this is the place
if you believe in freedom.
00:09:35.77\00:09:39.64
Are you a
Republican or a Democrat?
00:09:39.67\00:09:41.38
Oh!
00:09:41.41\00:09:43.65
Dearie me!
00:09:43.68\00:09:45.01
Am I a Republican or a Democrat?
00:09:45.05\00:09:48.72
Let me say this to you
without offending you unduly,
00:09:48.75\00:09:53.46
I am an all-time Conservative.
00:09:53.49\00:09:57.66
I believe in conserving
the great moral teachings
00:09:57.69\00:10:02.96
of the Bible that made
America a great nation,
00:10:03.00\00:10:08.17
but I'm not a part
of the Republican Party
00:10:08.20\00:10:12.21
and I'm not a part
of the Democratic Party.
00:10:12.24\00:10:15.24
I'm not
criticizing those people,
00:10:15.28\00:10:18.38
but I am an
independent, an independent.
00:10:18.41\00:10:24.29
Pardon my saying this,
00:10:24.32\00:10:25.65
but I don't want
some big organization
00:10:25.69\00:10:29.72
thinking for me.
00:10:29.76\00:10:31.69
By the grace of God I
want to think for myself.
00:10:31.73\00:10:35.70
Fair enough?
00:10:38.80\00:10:40.24
What about looting?
00:10:40.27\00:10:42.40
What about looting?
00:10:42.44\00:10:45.01
Goodness, me?
00:10:45.04\00:10:47.01
So only one word for it.
00:10:47.04\00:10:48.81
Dreadful.
00:10:48.84\00:10:50.38
Absolutely dreadful.
00:10:50.41\00:10:53.15
Where are the police?
00:10:53.18\00:10:56.28
Does no one care about
the mom and pop stores?
00:10:56.32\00:10:59.92
Looters ought to be locked up.
00:10:59.95\00:11:04.89
How does stealing and burning
00:11:04.93\00:11:07.30
resolve the issue of racism?
00:11:07.33\00:11:12.37
Now what did Martin
Luther King say about looting?
00:11:12.40\00:11:16.54
He's one of my great heroes.
00:11:16.57\00:11:18.51
What did Martin Luther King,
00:11:18.54\00:11:20.61
what are the
civil rights leaders
00:11:20.64\00:11:22.61
back in those
days, say about looting?
00:11:22.64\00:11:25.21
They said it was evil.
00:11:25.25\00:11:29.62
And so don't try to cover up sin
00:11:29.65\00:11:31.92
by saying that people
00:11:31.95\00:11:33.39
somehow have got
an excuse to loot.
00:11:33.42\00:11:38.03
Now there is a text here.
00:11:38.06\00:11:39.39
I want to read you.
2 Thessalonians 2:3.
00:11:39.43\00:11:44.57
I'm going to take
my dear old Bible here,
00:11:44.60\00:11:46.63
and I'm gonna read this
text out of Holy Word of God.
00:11:46.67\00:11:51.14
Give me a second.
00:11:51.17\00:11:52.77
I'm trying to find
it. It's coming on.
00:11:52.81\00:11:55.08
2 Thessalonians,
00:11:55.11\00:11:56.98
here it is 2:3 says,
00:11:57.01\00:12:03.59
"Don't let anyone
deceive you in any way."
00:12:03.62\00:12:07.96
Don't be taken in by frauds.
00:12:07.99\00:12:10.39
"For that day will not come."
00:12:10.43\00:12:11.76
The day of Christ's return,
00:12:11.79\00:12:13.13
"Will not come
until the rebellion occurs
00:12:13.16\00:12:16.87
and a man of
lawlessness is revealed,
00:12:16.90\00:12:21.24
the man doomed to destruction."
00:12:21.27\00:12:23.37
This is talking
about the Antichrist.
00:12:23.41\00:12:25.87
And when the Bible
talks about the Antichrist,
00:12:25.91\00:12:28.31
it calls him the
man of lawlessness,
00:12:28.34\00:12:31.45
the man who is
against the Word of God.
00:12:31.48\00:12:34.22
I want you to know that
the spirit of lawlessness
00:12:34.25\00:12:36.85
that is sweeping the world today
00:12:36.89\00:12:39.52
and sweeping across
America does not come from God.
00:12:39.55\00:12:44.59
It comes from a
power that is from below.
00:12:44.63\00:12:50.43
I believe that a
person who loves God
00:12:50.47\00:12:53.10
and loves his country
will uphold lawlessness
00:12:53.13\00:12:58.54
and the breaking of
the commandments of God
00:12:58.57\00:13:01.98
and he won't be a
person, my friend,
00:13:02.01\00:13:04.01
who was involved in looting.
00:13:04.05\00:13:08.62
Would you defund the police?
00:13:08.65\00:13:12.25
Would I defund the police?
00:13:12.29\00:13:14.39
My friend asks me.
00:13:14.42\00:13:16.62
What I guess I would
00:13:16.66\00:13:17.99
if I was in
charge of the looting.
00:13:18.03\00:13:19.36
I think it's a crazy.
00:13:22.90\00:13:24.23
Pardon my saying.
00:13:24.27\00:13:25.60
I know some folks who
are gonna get mad at me.
00:13:25.63\00:13:27.07
They're gonna say,
00:13:27.10\00:13:28.44
"You are politically incorrect."
00:13:28.47\00:13:32.57
Well, let me be
politically incorrect
00:13:32.61\00:13:34.88
and let me be glad
00:13:34.91\00:13:36.24
to be politically
incorrect on this one.
00:13:36.28\00:13:40.45
I'm going to read
you text in the Bible
00:13:40.48\00:13:43.02
in Matthew 24:21, 22.
00:13:43.05\00:13:47.46
And you'll wonder why
I'm reading this text,
00:13:47.49\00:13:49.92
but I'm going to
try to explain it to you
00:13:49.96\00:13:52.23
and then we're
going to see it together.
00:13:52.26\00:13:54.36
Matthew 24:21, 22.
00:13:54.40\00:14:01.34
And this describes the
days before the destruction
00:14:01.37\00:14:06.64
of the great city of Jerusalem
00:14:06.68\00:14:08.71
which was
destroyed by the Romans,
00:14:08.74\00:14:10.71
as you know, in AD 70.
00:14:10.75\00:14:15.05
Here it is.
00:14:15.08\00:14:16.42
Matthew 24:21, 22,
00:14:16.45\00:14:20.42
"For then shall be
great tribulation."
00:14:20.46\00:14:23.26
This is a great time of trouble.
00:14:23.29\00:14:25.09
"Such as has not
been since the beginning
00:14:25.13\00:14:27.96
of the world until this
time, no, nor ever shall be."
00:14:28.00\00:14:32.77
Again.
00:14:32.80\00:14:34.14
"And unless those
days were shortened,
00:14:34.17\00:14:36.44
no flesh would be saved,
but for the elect's sake,"
00:14:36.47\00:14:40.08
For God's people's sake,
"those days will be shortened."
00:14:40.11\00:14:44.15
Now listen to me carefully.
00:14:44.18\00:14:45.55
I want to explain this to you.
00:14:45.58\00:14:48.25
What happened back
there before the destruction
00:14:48.28\00:14:50.69
of Jerusalem, friend of mine,
00:14:50.72\00:14:52.92
was a type
what's going to happen
00:14:52.95\00:14:54.62
before the end of the
world, before Jesus comes?
00:14:54.66\00:14:58.39
And the Bible spoke about it.
00:14:58.43\00:15:00.13
A great time of
trouble, a great tribulation,
00:15:00.16\00:15:03.73
a great time of lawlessness.
00:15:03.77\00:15:07.64
And Jerusalem became filled
with lawlessness and looting
00:15:07.67\00:15:13.58
and killing and
burning and raping
00:15:13.61\00:15:18.25
and taking people's lives.
00:15:18.28\00:15:23.45
What happened back there?
00:15:23.49\00:15:24.82
The Bible says is a
type, you're listening to me?
00:15:24.85\00:15:29.66
It is a type.
00:15:29.69\00:15:33.43
It is a shadow of what is
going to happen in this world
00:15:33.46\00:15:38.60
before Jesus Christ returns.
00:15:38.63\00:15:42.27
The world is going to
see a time of lawlessness
00:15:42.30\00:15:45.67
and anarchy.
00:15:45.71\00:15:47.34
And I believe this
time is starting now.
00:15:47.38\00:15:50.21
You listening to me?
00:15:50.25\00:15:52.21
And so I believe anything
that brings upon a state
00:15:52.25\00:15:56.02
of lawlessness is not from God
00:15:56.05\00:15:59.72
but is from an evil spirit.
00:15:59.75\00:16:04.56
We should not have any
part to do with lawlessness.
00:16:04.59\00:16:11.13
Is there police brutality?
00:16:11.17\00:16:13.40
Is there police brutality?
00:16:13.44\00:16:16.64
Well, I guess there is some.
00:16:16.67\00:16:20.34
Think about the cruel
murder of Mr. George Floyd.
00:16:20.38\00:16:24.88
It makes your blood run cold.
00:16:24.91\00:16:27.98
And so, you know,
everybody recognizes
00:16:28.02\00:16:30.82
that there has been
some police brutality.
00:16:30.85\00:16:37.83
Are most police
officers violent?
00:16:37.86\00:16:41.93
Are most police
officers violent?
00:16:41.96\00:16:45.10
I don't think so.
00:16:45.13\00:16:47.67
I think most police officers
pretty decent sort of people.
00:16:47.70\00:16:51.77
We need the police.
00:16:55.74\00:16:58.28
It's absolutely insane
to get rid of a policemen.
00:16:58.31\00:17:02.68
You know who are going to
suffer the most, don't you?
00:17:02.72\00:17:06.22
Now this is being kept
00:17:06.25\00:17:09.06
from a lot of
the American people.
00:17:09.09\00:17:12.06
But I'm going to
tell you something.
00:17:12.09\00:17:14.06
When you get rid of the
police, my brother, my sister,
00:17:14.10\00:17:18.13
the minorities are
going to suffer the most.
00:17:18.17\00:17:21.87
The poor people,
00:17:21.90\00:17:23.74
the minorities in
the worst parts of town,
00:17:23.77\00:17:27.51
they're going to suffer
the most and they're going
00:17:27.54\00:17:29.31
to have the greatest bloodshed
if you get rid of the police.
00:17:29.34\00:17:35.38
We can't do this.
00:17:38.45\00:17:42.92
I belong to a
Bible study group here.
00:17:42.96\00:17:46.70
And one of the
members of that group
00:17:46.73\00:17:48.40
who sometimes leads
the Bible study group
00:17:48.43\00:17:51.60
is a policeman
by the name of Vern.
00:17:51.63\00:17:56.64
He's been on our
television program.
00:17:56.67\00:17:58.37
He's one of the
nicest guys I've ever met.
00:17:58.41\00:18:02.64
And let me say this
too because a lot of people
00:18:02.68\00:18:05.61
don't seem to get this.
00:18:05.65\00:18:08.85
This is a
terrible lot of crime here
00:18:08.88\00:18:10.35
in the United States of America.
00:18:10.39\00:18:12.99
I'm not gonna go into that.
00:18:13.02\00:18:14.56
There are reasons we
have this terrible crime.
00:18:14.59\00:18:17.23
One of the
reasons is the collapse
00:18:17.26\00:18:19.56
of the American family unit.
00:18:19.59\00:18:22.66
Fathers are
needed, mothers are needed.
00:18:22.70\00:18:24.93
Kids need a mom and dad.
00:18:24.97\00:18:27.80
But in Los Angeles alone,
00:18:27.84\00:18:29.20
you've got more than
100,000 gang members,
00:18:29.24\00:18:33.17
a 100,000.
00:18:33.21\00:18:34.54
So we gonna get rid of the cops?
00:18:34.58\00:18:37.98
Gonna get rid of
the Cops in Chicago?
00:18:38.01\00:18:40.82
If you want to have
a bloodbath, my friend,
00:18:40.85\00:18:43.18
get rid of the cops.
00:18:43.22\00:18:44.82
Let us stop the police brutality
00:18:44.85\00:18:46.86
by all means, but
we need the police.
00:18:46.89\00:18:51.39
What about the gassing
of peaceful protesters?
00:18:51.43\00:18:53.80
Wayne, it's really Un-American.
00:18:56.83\00:19:00.27
And it's very bad.
00:19:00.30\00:19:01.90
It really is.
00:19:01.94\00:19:04.11
I did some study on this,
00:19:04.14\00:19:05.47
I was shocked to discover that
00:19:05.51\00:19:07.24
some of the toxic gases
they're using are banned
00:19:07.28\00:19:10.91
by the Geneva Conventions
talking about warfare,
00:19:10.95\00:19:16.25
but fancy using
these toxic chemicals
00:19:16.28\00:19:19.65
upon peaceful demonstrators.
00:19:19.69\00:19:23.19
It's totally Un-American.
00:19:23.22\00:19:26.43
Now I believe
this, and I don't...
00:19:26.46\00:19:28.40
You know, I guess
after I've answered
00:19:28.43\00:19:30.23
all these questions,
00:19:30.27\00:19:31.60
I'm gonna have a lot of people
mad with me from both sides.
00:19:31.63\00:19:34.24
All I say to you
is think it through,
00:19:34.27\00:19:36.97
please think it through.
00:19:37.01\00:19:38.34
Let's be balanced.
00:19:38.37\00:19:40.84
There needs to
be a big reformation
00:19:40.88\00:19:43.28
of our policing system.
00:19:43.31\00:19:47.05
Watching police chiefs
take a knee and praying
00:19:47.08\00:19:51.12
with demonstrators
in my humble opinion
00:19:51.15\00:19:54.92
is beautiful, but we
are not a police state.
00:19:54.96\00:20:00.13
And I'm totally on the
side of peaceful protesters,
00:20:00.16\00:20:04.90
peaceful protesters
should never be gassed.
00:20:04.93\00:20:09.90
Their protesting is a
part of the American ideal
00:20:09.94\00:20:14.84
and tradition.
00:20:14.88\00:20:16.54
What is the real solution?
00:20:16.58\00:20:19.31
What is the real solution?
00:20:19.35\00:20:21.85
Well, not more speeches
or tweets from politicians.
00:20:21.88\00:20:27.69
Goodness me!
00:20:27.72\00:20:30.29
After a bit you
get sick of the stuff
00:20:30.33\00:20:33.83
that you've got to listen to.
00:20:33.86\00:20:36.10
The solution is not
more tweeting and speeches
00:20:36.13\00:20:40.47
from politicians.
00:20:40.50\00:20:43.91
I'm tired of it,
and I guess you are too.
00:20:43.94\00:20:48.44
Now here is the real
solution if you want answers.
00:20:48.48\00:20:52.25
And this is a tough one.
00:20:52.28\00:20:53.88
Not everybody
wants real answers.
00:20:53.92\00:20:56.08
A lot of people just
want rhetoric and talk
00:20:56.12\00:20:58.79
and slogans and signs.
00:20:58.82\00:21:02.62
Listen to me.
00:21:02.66\00:21:05.06
Martin Luther
King spoke about this.
00:21:05.09\00:21:08.10
Dr. Billy Graham
spoke about this.
00:21:08.13\00:21:11.80
America needs a
spiritual rebirth.
00:21:11.83\00:21:17.87
That's the only solution.
00:21:17.91\00:21:19.74
Anything else
just fooling around,
00:21:19.77\00:21:22.44
messing around, wasting
time, doing a lot of talking.
00:21:22.48\00:21:27.35
But America needs
a spiritual rebirth.
00:21:27.38\00:21:30.42
And not only America,
many other countries as well.
00:21:30.45\00:21:36.26
Now I think I'm
gonna get a text here,
00:21:36.29\00:21:39.19
and I'm gonna read it to you.
00:21:39.23\00:21:41.00
And it's the text
in the Old Testament.
00:21:41.03\00:21:43.63
And here it comes.
00:21:43.67\00:21:45.13
2 Chronicles.
00:21:45.17\00:21:46.74
You're ready for it?
00:21:46.77\00:21:48.44
Just listen to,
listen, my friend.
00:21:48.47\00:21:50.31
Listen to the
words of Scripture.
00:21:50.34\00:21:52.74
"If My people," Who's talking?
00:21:52.77\00:21:54.28
Well, God is talking, so listen.
00:21:54.31\00:21:56.41
"If My people who
are called by My name
00:21:56.44\00:21:58.68
will humble themselves,
and pray and seek My face,
00:21:58.71\00:22:03.49
and turn from their wicked ways,
00:22:03.52\00:22:06.29
then I will hear from heaven,
00:22:06.32\00:22:08.56
and will forgive their
sin and heal their land."
00:22:08.59\00:22:13.80
And the Bible says when
bad things happen to us...
00:22:13.83\00:22:17.07
And we profess to
be the people of God.
00:22:17.10\00:22:20.44
This country of America
is the most religious place
00:22:20.47\00:22:23.24
and the face of the earth.
00:22:23.27\00:22:25.74
I've gone to lots
and lots of countries.
00:22:25.77\00:22:27.68
I've been to
Russia, Ukraine, China.
00:22:27.71\00:22:30.68
I've been to so many countries,
00:22:30.71\00:22:32.68
but there is no
country like America
00:22:32.71\00:22:35.18
that is so religious.
00:22:35.22\00:22:37.85
It talks about the
Declaration of Independence.
00:22:37.89\00:22:41.72
You know it.
00:22:41.76\00:22:43.09
It talks about the
Creator has endowed us
00:22:43.12\00:22:45.59
with certain unalienable rights,
00:22:45.63\00:22:49.30
life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness.
00:22:49.33\00:22:53.90
So America is
based on the concept
00:22:53.94\00:22:56.04
that there is a Creator God.
00:22:56.07\00:22:58.31
And that it's based so
on the concept that God
00:22:58.34\00:23:01.88
revealed His will
through the Holy Scriptures.
00:23:01.91\00:23:06.15
A lot of folks don't know this,
00:23:06.18\00:23:07.68
but George Washington said this.
00:23:07.72\00:23:10.92
Washington said this,
00:23:10.95\00:23:12.59
"It's impossible to
govern a nation without God,
00:23:12.62\00:23:16.76
and the Holy Bible."
00:23:16.79\00:23:20.50
But the trouble is in America
00:23:20.53\00:23:21.93
we've gotten away
from the Holy Bible.
00:23:21.96\00:23:24.50
We talk about religion a lot,
00:23:24.53\00:23:26.63
but most of is
just a lot of hot air.
00:23:26.67\00:23:29.94
And what is
needed in this country
00:23:29.97\00:23:31.77
is a mighty turning to God.
00:23:31.81\00:23:35.78
We need God to somehow
get hold of us and shake us.
00:23:35.81\00:23:42.62
I believe God is
allowing this pandemic.
00:23:42.65\00:23:45.52
You say, no, no, no, God...
00:23:45.55\00:23:48.36
It's just about worse
here than any other country
00:23:48.39\00:23:50.39
in the world.
00:23:50.43\00:23:52.49
Well over 100,000 people dead.
00:23:52.53\00:23:54.70
Well over, well over.
00:23:54.73\00:23:57.17
Dr. Fauci says it's
gonna get worse unless
00:23:57.20\00:24:00.34
something dramatically happens.
00:24:00.37\00:24:03.10
I believe that God is sending us
00:24:03.14\00:24:05.04
these things to wake us up.
00:24:05.07\00:24:09.41
There needs to be a
mighty turning to God.
00:24:09.44\00:24:13.08
There needs to be
00:24:13.11\00:24:14.45
a mighty confessing of our sins.
00:24:14.48\00:24:19.35
When you go and
read the Holy Scriptures,
00:24:19.39\00:24:21.19
you read Genesis 3,
00:24:21.22\00:24:23.73
and it talks about how
sin came into the world.
00:24:23.76\00:24:27.30
The human race
chose to go against God,
00:24:27.33\00:24:31.60
and we've been
going downhill ever since.
00:24:31.63\00:24:35.30
So Genesis 3 tells
us how we lost our life.
00:24:35.34\00:24:39.27
And John 3 tells us
how we got back again.
00:24:39.31\00:24:42.51
It talks about
the coming of Christ
00:24:42.54\00:24:45.78
and Christ dying for our sins.
00:24:45.81\00:24:50.52
So what is needed?
00:24:50.55\00:24:52.15
We need a mighty,
mighty repentance.
00:24:52.19\00:24:57.26
You know, back in the
days of Abraham Lincoln,
00:24:57.29\00:25:00.23
they used to have days of prayer
00:25:00.26\00:25:02.00
and days of repentance.
00:25:02.03\00:25:06.70
We need to turn to God.
00:25:06.74\00:25:09.47
And we need to
repent of our sins.
00:25:09.50\00:25:13.34
And we need to come to Christ.
00:25:13.38\00:25:17.31
And if we will do these
things, I'm telling you,
00:25:17.35\00:25:20.58
brother and sister,
00:25:20.62\00:25:22.92
that God will hear
our prayers and God
00:25:22.95\00:25:27.16
will heal our land, land.
00:25:27.19\00:25:30.69
This is the urgent cry
for this tremendous hour.
00:25:30.73\00:25:37.30
And we've got lots
of lots of questions.
00:25:37.33\00:25:39.40
I've just started.
00:25:39.43\00:25:41.57
We're going to have a pause
and then I'm going to be back
00:25:41.60\00:25:44.74
with Wayne.
00:25:44.77\00:25:46.11
And we're going to
have another session
00:25:46.14\00:25:47.78
with your questions, Q&A.
00:25:47.81\00:25:51.78
Stay with us.
00:25:51.81\00:25:53.15
We'll be back after this break.
00:25:53.18\00:25:55.12
