I'm John Carter in Moscow.
00:00:02.10\00:00:04.70
In Havana, Cuba.
00:00:04.73\00:00:07.30
Now in Kiev, the
capital of Ukraine.
00:00:07.34\00:00:10.61
I'm John Carter in Petra.
00:00:10.64\00:00:13.54
Right here in Communist China.
00:00:13.58\00:00:16.51
Reporting from India.
00:00:16.54\00:00:18.55
Hi, I'm John Carter
in the Solomon Islands.
00:00:18.58\00:00:21.55
I'm John Carter in Soweto.
00:00:21.58\00:00:24.02
From El Salvador.
00:00:24.05\00:00:26.49
I'm John Carter
in Sydney, Australia.
00:00:26.52\00:00:30.59
Now, here's John
Carter with today's message.
00:00:30.63\00:00:33.33
Hello, friend.
00:00:36.77\00:00:38.10
I'm John Carter,
00:00:38.13\00:00:40.10
here in Los Angeles
00:00:40.14\00:00:41.47
of the United States of America.
00:00:41.50\00:00:43.54
I'm glad to see you.
00:00:43.57\00:00:47.18
We've been locked up
basically here for five months,
00:00:47.21\00:00:50.71
almost five months.
00:00:50.75\00:00:54.08
COVID-19 is not getting
00:00:54.12\00:00:56.05
better in the
United States of America.
00:00:56.08\00:00:59.09
It's getting worse.
00:00:59.12\00:01:01.16
Right now more than
150,000 Americans are dead
00:01:01.19\00:01:07.16
because of the pandemic.
00:01:07.20\00:01:09.56
And there's no end in sight.
00:01:09.60\00:01:12.50
Unless by the grace of God,
somehow, we can get a vaccine.
00:01:12.53\00:01:18.04
I want to send
special greetings today
00:01:18.07\00:01:20.21
to our friends in
the great land of India,
00:01:20.24\00:01:23.28
to Sam and his family.
00:01:23.31\00:01:25.05
I just want to say
we're praying for you
00:01:25.08\00:01:27.62
during these
difficult times of COVID-19.
00:01:27.65\00:01:31.15
In India, where tens of
thousands of people are dying.
00:01:31.19\00:01:36.09
We send our greetings
also to our friends down under,
00:01:36.12\00:01:39.46
in the land of Australia,
00:01:39.49\00:01:40.96
to our great friends
and our great supporters,
00:01:41.00\00:01:44.23
and our special
friends across the great land
00:01:44.27\00:01:48.00
of the United States of America.
00:01:48.04\00:01:50.44
We stand together
during this pandemic,
00:01:50.47\00:01:54.91
and by the grace of God,
00:01:54.94\00:01:59.01
we shall overcome
and we shall prevail.
00:01:59.05\00:02:03.52
We are not afraid.
00:02:03.55\00:02:08.22
And so from our studio,
00:02:08.26\00:02:10.36
our empty studio in Los Angeles,
00:02:10.39\00:02:14.36
we send greetings to you today.
00:02:14.40\00:02:18.27
In Los Angeles, the
situation is so grim,
00:02:18.30\00:02:22.10
that they're running
out of doctors and nurses,
00:02:22.14\00:02:25.01
can you believe that?
00:02:25.04\00:02:27.34
And so they're calling
00:02:27.38\00:02:28.71
for the army to bring in doctors
00:02:28.74\00:02:31.35
and nurses to stand
00:02:31.38\00:02:33.58
with the civilian
doctors and nurses.
00:02:33.62\00:02:37.62
They're also using
00:02:37.65\00:02:39.19
special refrigerated trucks
00:02:39.22\00:02:43.53
for the dead bodies.
00:02:43.56\00:02:45.99
And so, today, the world
is facing a tremendous crisis.
00:02:46.03\00:02:51.63
And no nation is more
affected than the land
00:02:51.67\00:02:56.64
of the United States of America.
00:02:56.67\00:03:00.01
Today I'm going to give you
00:03:00.04\00:03:01.38
some of my
meditations and cogitations
00:03:01.41\00:03:06.01
while we have been in lockdown
00:03:06.05\00:03:09.08
for the best
part of five months,
00:03:09.12\00:03:12.39
meditations, cogitations,
00:03:12.42\00:03:15.26
and maybe a few agitations.
00:03:15.29\00:03:19.49
We're going to
start this meeting today
00:03:19.53\00:03:22.13
by reading from
the Holy Scriptures.
00:03:22.16\00:03:25.07
And I'm going to turn
to the Book of Psalms.
00:03:25.10\00:03:30.51
And I'm going to read Psalm 23,
00:03:30.54\00:03:35.01
dear hearts and general people,
00:03:35.04\00:03:38.31
going to take it
00:03:38.35\00:03:39.68
right out of the
Holy Book of God.
00:03:39.71\00:03:43.49
I want you to join me in
the reading of scripture.
00:03:43.52\00:03:48.29
Psalm 23.
00:03:48.32\00:03:51.13
"The Lord is my
shepherd, I shall not want.
00:03:51.16\00:03:56.53
He makes me lie
down in green pastures."
00:03:56.56\00:04:00.67
It's good, isn't it?
00:04:00.70\00:04:03.20
"He leads me
beside the still waters.
00:04:03.24\00:04:08.44
He restores my soul,
00:04:08.48\00:04:11.18
He leads me in the
paths of righteousness,
00:04:11.21\00:04:14.08
for His name's sake.
00:04:14.12\00:04:16.55
Yea, though I walk through
00:04:16.58\00:04:17.92
the valley of
the shadow of death,
00:04:17.95\00:04:21.49
I will fear no
evil, for You are with me.
00:04:21.52\00:04:27.16
Your rod and your
staff, they comfort me.
00:04:27.20\00:04:30.60
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies,
00:04:30.63\00:04:34.57
You anoint my head with oil,
00:04:34.60\00:04:38.01
my cup runs over."
00:04:38.04\00:04:40.14
It overflows.
This is great stuff.
00:04:40.18\00:04:43.51
"Surely goodness and
mercy shall follow me
00:04:43.55\00:04:46.68
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house
00:04:46.72\00:04:50.29
of the Lord forever."
00:04:50.32\00:04:52.72
Can anybody say amen?
00:04:52.75\00:04:56.86
I was in Russia
number of years ago
00:04:56.89\00:04:59.63
in the great city
of St. Petersburg.
00:04:59.66\00:05:02.06
We'd been running a campaign
00:05:02.10\00:05:04.27
in the largest auditorium
in that part of the world.
00:05:04.30\00:05:07.74
And the intensity of
the campaign was so severe.
00:05:07.77\00:05:12.21
After preaching to
vast numbers of Russians
00:05:12.24\00:05:16.88
and the
intelligentsia of Russia,
00:05:16.91\00:05:20.15
the professors
from the universities,
00:05:20.18\00:05:23.22
that I became very sick,
00:05:23.25\00:05:25.85
and I was put in
a Russian ambulance
00:05:25.89\00:05:30.16
in those days.
00:05:30.19\00:05:31.83
That was a very,
very, very scary experience.
00:05:31.86\00:05:37.60
I was taken off to
this Russian hospital
00:05:37.63\00:05:41.24
and put to bed and my doctor
00:05:41.27\00:05:44.71
was under the weather
00:05:44.74\00:05:47.84
because of too much
vodka, if you get the point.
00:05:47.88\00:05:53.85
And that night,
00:05:53.88\00:05:55.48
I became so seriously ill
00:05:55.52\00:05:58.65
that I thought I
was going to die.
00:05:58.69\00:06:02.39
And so I got my Bible,
00:06:02.42\00:06:05.09
I was strong
enough to get my Bible,
00:06:05.13\00:06:08.30
and I read Psalm 23,
00:06:08.33\00:06:11.97
"Though I walk
through the valley
00:06:12.00\00:06:13.67
of the shadow of death,
00:06:13.70\00:06:15.60
I will fear no evil
if You are with me."
00:06:15.64\00:06:19.84
I want you to know today,
00:06:19.87\00:06:22.31
even when we are facing death,
00:06:22.34\00:06:25.55
that by the grace of God
00:06:25.58\00:06:28.45
we will fear no evil
00:06:28.48\00:06:32.32
because of the presence of God.
00:06:32.35\00:06:36.22
We will get through
this with the help of God.
00:06:36.26\00:06:40.73
Let's talk a moment
00:06:40.76\00:06:42.50
about some of
the grim statistics,
00:06:42.53\00:06:46.77
shall we?
00:06:46.80\00:06:48.74
This red line represents
00:06:48.77\00:06:51.94
the daily total of infections.
00:06:51.97\00:06:56.11
Back in June, the
daily infection rate
00:06:56.14\00:07:00.18
was about
20,000 Americans a day.
00:07:00.22\00:07:06.15
But then during
the month of July,
00:07:06.19\00:07:09.89
July, it is almost
gone through the roof,
00:07:09.92\00:07:13.80
getting above 70,000 cases,
00:07:13.83\00:07:18.70
new infections every
day, though the last few days,
00:07:18.73\00:07:21.90
thank God, it has
dropped down to about 60,000.
00:07:21.94\00:07:27.44
But we're not through this.
00:07:27.48\00:07:29.44
We're not through this.
00:07:29.48\00:07:31.21
I want you to
notice some other facts
00:07:31.25\00:07:34.45
as we put them up on the screen.
00:07:34.48\00:07:37.42
The United States of America,
00:07:37.45\00:07:39.15
and by the time
you get this program
00:07:39.19\00:07:41.86
or many of you,
00:07:41.89\00:07:43.29
the figures I'm afraid
are going to be higher.
00:07:43.32\00:07:46.73
But right now 151,470,
00:07:46.76\00:07:53.54
Americans are dead.
00:07:57.57\00:08:00.51
We are now number one
in the world in death.
00:08:00.54\00:08:06.21
Brazil 87,000.
00:08:06.25\00:08:09.55
The UK 45,000, worse
than America per capita.
00:08:09.58\00:08:15.09
Mexico 44,000, Italy 35.
00:08:15.12\00:08:18.79
India, where we have our work
00:08:18.83\00:08:21.40
and our prayers go
out to Sam and his family,
00:08:21.43\00:08:25.43
and the people who watch
our television programs 34,000,
00:08:25.47\00:08:30.31
and I think these figures
are under the actual count.
00:08:30.34\00:08:34.38
France 30,000, Spain 28,000,
00:08:34.41\00:08:37.71
Peru 18,000, Iran 16,000
00:08:37.75\00:08:42.15
and possibly 10 times more.
00:08:42.18\00:08:47.16
So, we are in the midst
00:08:47.19\00:08:50.29
of a tremendous crisis.
00:08:50.33\00:08:54.80
We put the figures up again
00:08:54.83\00:08:56.67
so that our American friends
00:08:56.70\00:08:58.90
will get the
reality of the situation,
00:08:58.93\00:09:01.97
Americans dead.
00:09:02.00\00:09:07.31
It's as though somebody dropped
00:09:07.34\00:09:09.54
a bomb on one of our cities.
00:09:09.58\00:09:13.92
Now, let me tell you this.
00:09:13.95\00:09:16.38
All health scientists
00:09:16.42\00:09:18.65
are united in their conclusions.
00:09:18.69\00:09:23.36
The pandemic is getting
worse in the United States,
00:09:23.39\00:09:26.56
but many are in a
psychological state of denial,
00:09:26.59\00:09:30.87
like the majority
00:09:30.90\00:09:32.23
of the British
Members of Parliament
00:09:32.27\00:09:34.34
before the Second World War.
00:09:34.37\00:09:37.14
They thought Hitler
was a reasonable good man
00:09:37.17\00:09:41.01
who was making Germany
00:09:41.04\00:09:44.11
into the most
prosperous country in the world.
00:09:44.15\00:09:48.05
They believed that he
was restoring traditional
00:09:48.08\00:09:51.49
German Christian values.
00:09:51.52\00:09:53.52
They refused to
accept the facts.
00:09:53.56\00:09:56.76
Now let me say this,
00:09:56.79\00:09:58.13
there's a difference
between facts and opinions.
00:09:58.16\00:10:01.90
Everyone can have his opinion
whether it is right or wrong,
00:10:01.93\00:10:06.60
but everyone can't
have his own facts.
00:10:06.63\00:10:09.47
It is a fact that the
flag is red, white and blue.
00:10:09.50\00:10:13.58
Now somebody will say,
but that's against my opinion.
00:10:13.61\00:10:16.91
Well, your opinion
happens to be wrong.
00:10:16.95\00:10:20.55
People say, but
every person's opinion
00:10:20.58\00:10:23.08
is of equal worth.
00:10:23.12\00:10:24.45
No, it's not.
00:10:24.49\00:10:26.65
No, not all
opinions are of equal worth.
00:10:26.69\00:10:31.29
I do not believe
in the organization
00:10:31.33\00:10:35.00
that believes that
the earth is flat, do you?
00:10:35.03\00:10:39.40
You can say that is my opinion.
00:10:39.43\00:10:41.67
But, my friend, if your opinion
is contradicted by the facts,
00:10:41.70\00:10:46.07
then your opinion is erroneous.
00:10:46.11\00:10:49.54
Now the fact of the matter
00:10:49.58\00:10:51.01
is that pandemic
is getting worse.
00:10:51.05\00:10:54.58
Even the King of England,
00:10:54.62\00:10:56.05
King Edward called
David by his family.
00:10:56.08\00:10:59.39
He was the guy who abdicated,
00:10:59.42\00:11:02.32
he was sympathetic to the Nazis,
00:11:02.36\00:11:04.36
can you believe it?
00:11:04.39\00:11:06.29
There's only one man
00:11:06.33\00:11:07.66
who saw the facts
and sounded the warning.
00:11:07.70\00:11:11.77
And that man was
00:11:11.80\00:11:14.27
the old bulldog
Winston Churchill.
00:11:14.30\00:11:18.14
He called him that bad man.
00:11:18.17\00:11:22.18
He was mocked and
shouted down in Parliament.
00:11:22.21\00:11:25.71
Often good people are
mocked and shouted down
00:11:25.75\00:11:30.45
by people whose
opinions are not in harmony
00:11:30.49\00:11:33.96
with the facts.
00:11:33.99\00:11:35.32
Are you listening to
me, my American friends?
00:11:35.36\00:11:38.46
Churchill
eventually saved his country
00:11:38.49\00:11:40.60
and saved
freedom around the world.
00:11:40.63\00:11:43.03
It is dangerous to
remain in a state of denial.
00:11:43.06\00:11:46.43
And many of us here in America
00:11:46.47\00:11:49.40
and other places are
in a state of denial.
00:11:49.44\00:11:54.48
Now Dr. Fauci
served many presidents,
00:11:54.51\00:11:57.11
Republicans and Democrats.
00:11:57.15\00:11:59.01
I personally, don't care
00:11:59.05\00:12:00.38
whether he's a
Republican or a Democrat,
00:12:00.42\00:12:02.58
I'm just
interested in the facts.
00:12:02.62\00:12:05.45
And he calls our
situation, the perfect storm
00:12:05.49\00:12:10.69
and the worst nightmare.
00:12:10.73\00:12:14.13
Americans dead.
00:12:14.16\00:12:18.23
It's as though they
dropped a bomb on us.
00:12:18.27\00:12:22.00
But the crisis has
now become politicized.
00:12:22.04\00:12:25.31
But the virus is not
a member of any party.
00:12:25.34\00:12:27.64
Did you realize this?
00:12:27.68\00:12:29.44
It's not a part of
a secret conspiracy
00:12:29.48\00:12:31.51
to undermine the government.
00:12:31.55\00:12:33.31
It's not
Republican or Democratic.
00:12:33.35\00:12:36.18
I'm a pastor, not affiliated
with any political party.
00:12:36.22\00:12:40.06
I'm a staunch believer
00:12:40.09\00:12:41.42
in old fashioned family values,
00:12:41.46\00:12:45.03
so help me God.
00:12:45.06\00:12:47.16
I believe in
Christ in the Bible.
00:12:47.20\00:12:50.57
I believe in the home,
father and mother and kids.
00:12:50.60\00:12:55.67
See some people say,
00:12:55.70\00:12:57.04
"Oh, you are
politically incorrect?"
00:12:57.07\00:12:59.01
I say, "I don't care."
00:12:59.04\00:13:02.51
I want to be in
harmony with God.
00:13:02.54\00:13:06.21
I believe that all men
and women are created equal.
00:13:06.25\00:13:09.65
I believe in old
fashioned values,
00:13:09.68\00:13:11.62
honesty, truthfulness,
00:13:11.65\00:13:14.26
decency, and hard work.
00:13:14.29\00:13:20.16
I believe in
love and compassion,
00:13:20.20\00:13:22.00
I believe in truth.
00:13:22.03\00:13:24.63
So let's have a little
bit of truth here today.
00:13:24.67\00:13:27.04
Let's have a little bit of truth
00:13:27.07\00:13:29.27
and if our opinions are wrong,
let's change our opinions.
00:13:29.30\00:13:32.97
What do you say?
00:13:33.01\00:13:35.61
Where did COVID-19 come from?
00:13:35.64\00:13:37.68
Most likely from the wet markets
00:13:37.71\00:13:40.55
of Wuhan in China.
00:13:40.58\00:13:45.09
It has been
called the China virus.
00:13:45.12\00:13:48.42
And while we're not
using that term today,
00:13:48.46\00:13:50.99
that's where it came
from, the wet markets of China.
00:13:51.03\00:13:56.77
The National Geographic said,
"In markets animals are dying,
00:13:56.80\00:14:01.07
they are thirsty.
00:14:01.10\00:14:02.60
They are in rusty
cages and totally dirty.
00:14:02.64\00:14:08.41
They may be missing
limbs or have open wounds
00:14:08.44\00:14:12.61
from their capture in the wild,
00:14:12.65\00:14:15.58
or injuries
sustained during transport."
00:14:15.62\00:14:18.75
And so these things are covered
in blood, covered in feces.
00:14:18.79\00:14:23.96
It's disgusting.
00:14:23.99\00:14:28.46
And this is where most
likely COVID-19 came from.
00:14:28.50\00:14:34.40
If people had been smart enough
00:14:34.44\00:14:38.51
to believe in Leviticus 11,
00:14:38.54\00:14:41.54
it talks about
clean and unclean food,
00:14:41.58\00:14:43.91
we wouldn't have this
demon from hell today.
00:14:43.95\00:14:47.62
Because Leviticus
11 says very plainly,
00:14:47.65\00:14:51.59
none of these creeping things,
no snakes and other stuff.
00:14:51.62\00:14:57.56
People of course
00:14:57.59\00:14:59.23
were lot smarter
than God, weren't they?
00:14:59.26\00:15:01.76
A lot smarter.
00:15:01.80\00:15:03.23
They said, "No, we're
smarter, we know better."
00:15:03.26\00:15:05.63
Now some say,
00:15:05.67\00:15:07.00
"It came from a
Wuhan laboratory."
00:15:07.04\00:15:09.87
I don't know.
00:15:09.90\00:15:11.24
They said,
"Accidentally escaped."
00:15:11.27\00:15:13.11
I don't know.
00:15:13.14\00:15:14.51
But one thing it is now here,
00:15:14.54\00:15:18.15
and we are dealing
with this cursed thing.
00:15:18.18\00:15:22.55
I want you to notice Psalm
46:1 and 2 and a few more texts,
00:15:22.58\00:15:26.89
I'm going to read you Psalm.
00:15:26.92\00:15:29.62
I'm a great
believer in reading the Bible
00:15:29.66\00:15:31.66
because I believe
it's the Word of God.
00:15:31.69\00:15:34.13
I am not too
much into philosophy
00:15:34.16\00:15:36.30
or the teachings of man.
00:15:36.33\00:15:38.23
I'm very much into
what the Bible teaches.
00:15:38.27\00:15:41.40
And that's how it is.
00:15:41.44\00:15:43.71
Psalm 46:1 and 2, I
want to give it to you.
00:15:43.74\00:15:47.08
Here it is God,
00:15:47.11\00:15:48.44
"God is our refuge and strength,
00:15:48.48\00:15:50.91
a very present help in trouble.
00:15:50.95\00:15:52.91
Therefore we will not fear,
00:15:52.95\00:15:56.08
even though the
earth be removed,
00:15:56.12\00:15:57.75
and though the
mountains be carried
00:15:57.79\00:15:59.49
into the midst of the sea."
00:15:59.52\00:16:01.56
Even though hell breaks loose,
00:16:01.59\00:16:03.86
by the grace of God
00:16:03.89\00:16:05.26
I'm telling you something today,
00:16:05.29\00:16:06.86
we are not going to fear.
00:16:06.90\00:16:09.23
And verses, let me
see it, verse 10 and 11,
00:16:09.26\00:16:13.57
verses 10 and 11.
00:16:13.60\00:16:16.04
"Be still, and
know that I am God,
00:16:16.07\00:16:18.54
I will be exalted
among the nations,
00:16:18.57\00:16:21.18
I will be exalted in the earth!
00:16:21.21\00:16:23.21
The Lord of hosts is with us,
00:16:23.24\00:16:25.85
the God of Jacob is our refuge."
00:16:25.88\00:16:28.95
What do you say about that?
00:16:28.98\00:16:31.99
I want to tell you something.
00:16:32.02\00:16:34.62
Even though we have
terrible earthquakes,
00:16:34.66\00:16:36.86
even though we
have terrible pandemics,
00:16:36.89\00:16:39.13
by the grace of God,
we're not going to fear.
00:16:39.16\00:16:42.63
We're not going to fear
00:16:42.66\00:16:44.00
because we believe, we
believe, we trust in God.
00:16:44.03\00:16:48.74
A lot of people find
this pretty hard to believe,
00:16:48.77\00:16:50.94
you trust in God.
00:16:50.97\00:16:52.31
Absolutely. I trust in God.
00:16:52.34\00:16:55.51
I'd like to share with you
00:16:55.54\00:16:56.88
some great truths
that have comforted me
00:16:56.91\00:16:59.21
and given me strength,
Beverley strength also,
00:16:59.25\00:17:03.49
my family strength as
we've been in quarantine.
00:17:03.52\00:17:07.56
And later on in this
talk, I will tell you
00:17:07.59\00:17:10.13
how you can avoid
this deadly disease.
00:17:10.16\00:17:13.83
I'll try not to be
giving you opinions.
00:17:13.86\00:17:15.73
I'll try to give you the facts.
00:17:15.76\00:17:19.27
But firstly some meditations
00:17:19.30\00:17:21.90
and cogitations while locked up
00:17:21.94\00:17:25.47
and unable to go
to Costco even though
00:17:25.51\00:17:28.14
it's open in other places.
00:17:28.18\00:17:31.01
Now I've had a
haircut as you can see.
00:17:31.05\00:17:37.02
A lady who cuts my hair,
00:17:37.05\00:17:38.39
her name is Liz and Beverly said
00:17:38.42\00:17:40.19
she wanted to have a
little work done on her hair.
00:17:40.22\00:17:43.06
And she said you better have
00:17:43.09\00:17:44.43
all that wool cut off your head.
00:17:44.46\00:17:47.13
And so Liz came
00:17:47.16\00:17:48.50
and we met
together in the backyard
00:17:48.53\00:17:50.47
where we've got four
squirrels and Liz went to work.
00:17:50.50\00:17:55.57
And after she'd shaven
me like a sheep, Liz said,
00:17:55.60\00:17:58.91
"I will need to come
back for a long time, will I?"
00:17:58.94\00:18:01.48
I said, "I guess not Liz."
00:18:01.51\00:18:05.08
I think as they
said in the movie,
00:18:05.11\00:18:10.49
she done me in.
00:18:10.52\00:18:13.56
Okay, here are
some of my meditations
00:18:13.59\00:18:15.39
and cogitations
while we've been locked up.
00:18:15.42\00:18:18.86
Number one,
00:18:18.89\00:18:21.36
there are still a
lot of really good,
00:18:21.40\00:18:24.43
decent people in the world.
00:18:24.47\00:18:26.77
You hear about bad
things happening in America.
00:18:26.80\00:18:29.60
I want to tell
my American friends
00:18:29.64\00:18:31.64
and my friends in Europe,
00:18:31.67\00:18:33.17
there are still
so many marvelous
00:18:33.21\00:18:36.28
and wonderful people
00:18:36.31\00:18:38.68
in the United States of America.
00:18:38.71\00:18:41.08
Not all is doom and gloom.
00:18:41.12\00:18:43.35
Soon as we had to
go into quarantine,
00:18:43.39\00:18:48.02
we had the young
men from next door
00:18:48.06\00:18:50.93
always working on cars,
young guys always working on
00:18:50.96\00:18:54.46
cars and trucks.
00:18:54.50\00:18:56.67
They're family
of one, two, three,
00:18:56.70\00:18:58.70
a family of four I
think they've got 13 vehicles.
00:18:58.73\00:19:04.21
Of course, this is
Southern California,
00:19:04.24\00:19:07.01
where almost your birthright
00:19:07.04\00:19:09.08
is to have
several, several vehicles.
00:19:09.11\00:19:12.18
They've got 13, what
does that work out to?
00:19:12.21\00:19:14.78
Three per person? How do you?
00:19:14.82\00:19:16.75
How does one person
drive three vehicles?
00:19:16.79\00:19:18.72
Well, that doesn't matter.
00:19:18.75\00:19:20.09
They came to the
door and they said,
00:19:20.12\00:19:21.62
"We want you to know
00:19:21.66\00:19:22.99
if you need
anything, we're here for you."
00:19:23.02\00:19:25.79
I put a tear in my eye.
00:19:25.83\00:19:27.16
I said, "You're not alone.
00:19:27.20\00:19:28.80
If you need anything,
we care for you people."
00:19:28.83\00:19:30.97
They said, "We like you.
00:19:31.00\00:19:35.50
And we're here for you."
00:19:35.54\00:19:38.01
And then the city
of Ventura called us.
00:19:38.04\00:19:43.21
See, we're
right on the very edge
00:19:43.24\00:19:44.78
of Los Angeles, where
like Greater Los Angeles.
00:19:44.81\00:19:48.52
City Ventura said,
"Now we know that you folks
00:19:48.55\00:19:50.65
are not as young
as you used to be."
00:19:50.69\00:19:52.09
I said, "Who is?
00:19:52.12\00:19:53.46
Nobody's as young
as they used to be.
00:19:53.49\00:19:54.92
That's a silly thing."
00:19:54.96\00:19:56.29
He said, "Well, look,
what, do you need some food?"
00:19:56.32\00:19:59.16
He said, "No, we're okay."
00:19:59.19\00:20:01.56
But sooner or later,
00:20:01.60\00:20:02.96
guy was knocking on
the door with a mask.
00:20:03.00\00:20:05.63
He's smart. He's
smart, had gloves.
00:20:05.67\00:20:09.77
And he said, "I'm a volunteer
00:20:09.80\00:20:11.14
from one of the local churches."
00:20:11.17\00:20:14.31
And he said, "This
food is from Ventura County,
00:20:14.34\00:20:18.48
because we don't
want you to be hungry,"
00:20:18.51\00:20:20.45
and they gave us a ton of food.
00:20:20.48\00:20:21.82
We said, "Well, look,
we'll take it this time,
00:20:21.85\00:20:23.65
and we're grateful.
00:20:23.69\00:20:25.09
But we don't need any more."
00:20:25.12\00:20:26.45
But they would
come back every week.
00:20:26.49\00:20:28.22
We'd say, "Look, we're okay.
00:20:28.26\00:20:30.83
Take it to those who got
greater needs than ours."
00:20:30.86\00:20:34.33
We're fine. Do
you think would...
00:20:34.36\00:20:35.90
We're fine. I want
you to know my friend.
00:20:35.93\00:20:40.24
There are still
lots of marvelous,
00:20:40.27\00:20:41.80
marvelous people in the world.
00:20:41.84\00:20:44.01
Then I've got a
friend by the name of Javier.
00:20:44.04\00:20:47.51
He is a great friend of mine.
00:20:47.54\00:20:50.91
He's a chef,
00:20:50.95\00:20:52.28
and he's been sending us
the best beans and lentils,
00:20:52.31\00:20:56.05
he must think my name is Esau.
00:20:56.08\00:21:00.19
I had some of these
lentils yesterday for lunch.
00:21:00.22\00:21:02.99
And they were so
good, I had some for dinner.
00:21:03.02\00:21:06.33
Thank you, Javier.
00:21:06.36\00:21:09.33
Lots of good
people in the world.
00:21:09.36\00:21:12.33
Now listen, just get this.
00:21:12.37\00:21:13.94
It's a fact.
00:21:13.97\00:21:15.77
I want you to think
about doctors and nurses
00:21:15.80\00:21:17.84
who are putting
their lives at risk.
00:21:17.87\00:21:19.54
Don't you put their
lives at risk unnecessarily,
00:21:19.57\00:21:22.31
wear a mask.
00:21:22.34\00:21:24.51
I think some of
our doctors and nurses,
00:21:24.55\00:21:26.48
some are now dying.
00:21:26.51\00:21:27.85
Some have died.
00:21:27.88\00:21:29.22
I think of the
bus and train drivers.
00:21:29.25\00:21:31.69
The first responders.
00:21:31.72\00:21:33.05
I want to tell
you, they're our heroes.
00:21:33.09\00:21:36.29
We had to fly over US
00:21:36.32\00:21:40.20
Air Force to
salute our hospitals.
00:21:40.23\00:21:43.26
They came out via valley
00:21:43.30\00:21:45.53
dipping their wings
flying over our hospitals.
00:21:45.57\00:21:48.34
We salute them today.
00:21:48.37\00:21:50.81
I want to say this to you,
00:21:50.84\00:21:53.31
the great heroes of the
United States of America
00:21:53.34\00:21:59.01
and around the
world are the doctors
00:21:59.05\00:22:03.92
and the nurses,
and we salute them.
00:22:03.95\00:22:08.82
And I say to you, don't
put their lives at risk,
00:22:08.86\00:22:11.03
wear a mask.
00:22:11.06\00:22:13.06
So I don't think
all is doom and gloom.
00:22:13.09\00:22:15.03
I get sick of people
00:22:15.06\00:22:16.40
who're always telling
me that everything's bad.
00:22:16.43\00:22:19.53
There are still a
lot of brave kind,
00:22:19.57\00:22:21.20
good people in the world.
00:22:21.24\00:22:23.64
And for their sake,
00:22:23.67\00:22:25.81
and for the sake
of our neighbors,
00:22:25.84\00:22:27.34
we must do
everything to defeat the virus
00:22:27.38\00:22:30.25
that came from Wuhan in China.
00:22:30.28\00:22:32.81
Can you squeeze out an amen?
00:22:32.85\00:22:36.79
Come on now.
00:22:36.82\00:22:39.25
So I'm going to tell you
00:22:39.29\00:22:40.62
some things that
are not my opinion.
00:22:40.66\00:22:42.66
Number one, wear a mask.
00:22:42.69\00:22:45.76
It's been proven scientifically
00:22:45.79\00:22:48.83
that you'll cut down your chance
00:22:48.86\00:22:51.37
of getting the virus
00:22:51.40\00:22:53.03
or spreading the virus
by a factor of 5 by 500%
00:22:53.07\00:22:58.04
if you're smart
enough to wear a mask.
00:22:58.07\00:23:01.51
Now, in the
United States of America,
00:23:01.54\00:23:04.15
we have the Statue of
Liberty in New York Harbor,
00:23:04.18\00:23:08.25
hurrah, hurrah, hurrah, hurrah
for the Statue of Liberty.
00:23:08.28\00:23:12.22
But we also need
00:23:12.25\00:23:13.59
in the United States of America,
00:23:13.62\00:23:15.62
the statue of responsibility,
00:23:15.66\00:23:19.86
because your freedom ends
00:23:19.89\00:23:24.63
where the end of my
nose begins and vice versa.
00:23:24.67\00:23:31.04
Some people have got
a really twisted notion
00:23:31.07\00:23:34.31
of what liberty is.
00:23:34.34\00:23:37.05
I do not have liberty
00:23:37.08\00:23:40.72
to put somebody's life at risk.
00:23:40.75\00:23:45.19
You say, "That's your opinion."
00:23:45.22\00:23:46.55
No, no, no, that's a fact.
00:23:46.59\00:23:47.92
That's a fact.
00:23:47.96\00:23:49.76
If you wear a mask,
00:23:49.79\00:23:51.76
you're going to be
protecting your loved ones.
00:23:51.79\00:23:55.16
What about your parents?
00:23:55.20\00:23:57.00
What about your grandparents?
00:23:57.03\00:23:58.37
Young people, do
you want to kill them?
00:23:58.40\00:24:02.87
Because their chances
of dying from COVID-19
00:24:02.90\00:24:05.64
is a lot more than yours.
00:24:05.67\00:24:07.74
Practice social distancing.
00:24:07.78\00:24:11.68
Keep away, wash your hands.
00:24:11.71\00:24:15.18
Don't touch your
face, don't congregate.
00:24:15.22\00:24:19.45
Now I've heard some
Christians say this to me,
00:24:19.49\00:24:22.12
"Hey, God's going to protect us
00:24:22.16\00:24:23.76
because we're under
the blood of Jesus."
00:24:23.79\00:24:25.96
Listen, my friend, please.
00:24:25.99\00:24:28.50
What happened to your theology?
00:24:28.53\00:24:30.57
The blood of
Jesus forgives our sins.
00:24:30.60\00:24:35.04
It doesn't protect us
from sickness or COVID-19.
00:24:35.07\00:24:39.77
You got to come.
00:24:39.81\00:24:41.14
Well, that's your opinion,
but I want to go by the facts.
00:24:41.18\00:24:45.61
The blood of
Jesus covers our sins.
00:24:45.65\00:24:50.49
That's why I
haven't been to church
00:24:50.52\00:24:51.85
now for about four months.
00:24:51.89\00:24:53.99
As a pastor had these,
00:24:54.02\00:24:56.69
all these
church people together,
00:24:56.73\00:24:58.19
not many 50 of them together.
00:24:58.23\00:25:00.13
Alabama I think it was,
00:25:00.16\00:25:01.60
40 of them now
have got COVID-19.
00:25:01.63\00:25:06.23
Hey, let's get smart.
00:25:06.27\00:25:10.04
Let's get smart.
00:25:10.07\00:25:11.41
Let's act like Christians,
love our neighbor as ourselves.
00:25:11.44\00:25:15.48
That's what Jesus said,
00:25:15.51\00:25:16.85
"Love your
neighbor as yourself."
00:25:16.88\00:25:19.31
If you love your neighbor,
you're going to wear a mask.
00:25:19.35\00:25:22.15
Eat well, and
exercise out of doors every day
00:25:22.18\00:25:27.12
for the sake of others,
00:25:27.16\00:25:28.89
especially for the doctors
00:25:28.92\00:25:30.63
and the nurses and
the first responders,
00:25:30.66\00:25:33.60
your parents and
grandparents like me.
00:25:33.63\00:25:38.50
For love, for the love of God
00:25:38.53\00:25:44.97
and for the love of others.
00:25:45.01\00:25:47.28
Now I got so much good
stuff, I've got, it's coming on.
00:25:47.31\00:25:52.41
It's coming on soon.
00:25:52.45\00:25:55.95
Cogitations, meditations
00:25:55.98\00:25:57.99
during COVID-19, locked up here,
00:25:58.02\00:26:02.86
empty studio, but
preaching and teaching on.
00:26:02.89\00:26:06.90
I'll be back very
soon, stay with me.
00:26:06.93\00:26:09.16
