00:03:28.74\00:03:33.20 You don't want to miss this. 00:03:33.23\00:03:35.45 Paul, the evangelist says in the Bible 00:03:37.59\00:03:40.39 that "God will finish His work 00:03:40.42\00:03:41.88 and cut it short in righteousness." 00:03:41.91\00:03:44.36 The prophet Joel says, 00:03:44.39\00:03:45.76 "God will pour out His Spirit in the last days. 00:03:45.79\00:03:48.35 And signs and wonders will follow." 00:03:48.38\00:03:50.31 The Carter Report believes 00:03:50.34\00:03:51.73 that we are now in the end times. 00:03:51.76\00:03:54.48 And His Spirit is moving mightily. 00:03:54.51\00:03:57.10 During the Port Moresby campaign, 00:03:57.13\00:03:58.96 we testified that we saw the power of God revealed. 00:03:58.99\00:04:02.96 God-hungry souls 00:04:02.99\00:04:05.70 could not get enough of the Word of the Lord. 00:04:05.73\00:04:08.44 As at creation, the Spirit of God 00:04:08.47\00:04:11.18 moved upon the face of the waters 00:04:11.21\00:04:13.63 and God brought cosmos out of chaos. 00:04:13.66\00:04:16.99 Souls were recreated in the image of the Creator. 00:04:17.02\00:04:20.85 Instead of hate there was love. 00:04:20.88\00:04:22.98 Instead of despair there was hope. 00:04:23.01\00:04:25.05 Instead of sorrow there was joy, 00:04:25.08\00:04:27.53 and in the place of death God gave life. 00:04:27.56\00:04:30.89 One night as John Carter preached on the person 00:04:30.92\00:04:33.69 and work of the Holy Spirit, 00:04:33.72\00:04:35.21 the image of a white bird was flashed on the screens 00:04:35.24\00:04:38.65 at that moment a great white bird flew low 00:04:38.68\00:04:42.07 over the astonished congregation. 00:04:42.10\00:04:44.21 Cries of joy filled the air as the audience recognized 00:04:44.24\00:04:47.77 that God had visited His people. 00:04:47.80\00:04:49.91 A might surge of Pentecostal powers 00:04:49.94\00:04:52.34 swept the audience of 120,000 souls. 00:04:52.37\00:04:56.20 And everyone present 00:04:56.23\00:04:57.73 felt the warm comforting presence of God. 00:04:57.76\00:05:01.27 The Carter Report team invites you, my dear viewer, 00:05:01.30\00:05:04.10 to be a partner in this work. 00:05:04.13\00:05:06.37 Soldiers of the cross are wanted. 00:05:06.40\00:05:09.06 Faith partners are needed. 00:05:09.09\00:05:11.17 Write to us now here at the Carter Report 00:05:11.20\00:05:14.10 P.O.

00:07:00.37\00:07:04.81 seemed to be blessed and they are healthy, 00:07:04.84\00:07:07.59 they live longer, and some nations in the world 00:07:07.62\00:07:11.56 they have got a life expectancy of only 30 or 40 years. 00:07:11.59\00:07:15.91 And they say, "Why is it that there is such a big difference?" 00:07:15.94\00:07:21.19 Well, my friend, some people have learned the secrets.

great Creator God. 00:07:40.81\00:07:44.70 And I am also believer in His Son, 00:07:44.73\00:07:48.49 the Lord Jesus Christ who came down to this world 00:07:48.52\00:07:52.92 to seek and to save that which was lost. 00:07:52.95\00:07:56.75 I am going to take my old Bible 00:07:56.78\00:07:58.54 and I am going to turn over here to John 10:10 00:07:58.57\00:08:04.22 and I am turning, 00:08:04.25\00:08:05.62 you know, there is a little breeze blowing up here 00:08:05.65\00:08:07.56 and it blows me around a little bit, 00:08:07.59\00:08:09.61 but not as much as what you folks did 00:08:09.64\00:08:11.22 a few moments ago. 00:08:11.25\00:08:12.62 But so I am turning over here to John Chapter 10. 00:08:12.65\00:08:15.99 We are going to run it up on the screen. 00:08:16.02\00:08:17.47 I am going to stand here and read it 00:08:17.50\00:08:19.89 and you can take it off the screen. 00:08:19.92\00:08:21.72 Here's my Bible, here it goes. 00:08:21.75\00:08:24.05 "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy, 00:08:24.08\00:08:31.31 I have come that they may have life, 00:08:31.34\00:08:34.38 and have it to the full." 00:08:34.41\00:08:38.46 Going to come over here to the blackboard 00:08:38.49\00:08:41.17 and I am going to write up 00:08:41.20\00:08:42.86 something that I want you to see. 00:08:42.89\00:08:44.93 I am going to write this up, 00:08:44.96\00:08:46.33 so it will be reinforced in your mind. 00:08:46.36\00:08:50.43 Jesus Christ said, "I have come so that you may have life." 00:08:50.46\00:08:58.43 Have a look at this word. 00:08:58.46\00:09:01.10 It is a magnificent word that you may have life 00:09:01.13\00:09:06.58 and that you may have it to the full. 00:09:06.61\00:09:12.76 God does not want us to live a confined, narrow, 00:09:12.79\00:09:20.69 miserable, literal existence. 00:09:20.72\00:09:23.21 God wants you to have peace, and power, 00:09:23.24\00:09:26.53 and lots of love, and lots of prosperity. 00:09:26.56\00:09:31.19 Now I am going to turn to another text now, 00:09:31.22\00:09:34.55 going to turn to another text. 00:09:34.58\00:09:36.18 I am going to come over here to John 14:5, 6. 00:09:36.21\00:09:40.83 Now I am going to come out here on the runway, 00:09:40.86\00:09:43.00 this is where I take off here. 00:09:43.03\00:09:45.11 And I am going to read this text to you. 00:09:45.14\00:09:47.00 Here you read it too. 00:09:47.03\00:09:48.86 "Thomas said to him, 00:09:48.89\00:09:50.59 'Lord, we don't know where you are going, 00:09:50.62\00:09:53.30 so how can we know the way?' 00:09:53.33\00:09:56.94 Jesus answered, 00:09:56.97\00:09:59.27 'I am the way and the truth and the life. 00:09:59.30\00:10:05.48 No one comes to the Father except through me.'" 00:10:05.51\00:10:11.77 I am going to come now and I am going to put this up 00:10:11.80\00:10:14.11 somewhere on the blackboard here. 00:10:14.14\00:10:16.34 Jesus said and these are not the words 00:10:16.37\00:10:19.48 of just an ordinary man Jesus, said, 00:10:19.51\00:10:23.64 "I am the way, 00:10:23.67\00:10:31.64 the truth." 00:10:31.67\00:10:33.96 If you want to find the truth then you better find Jesus. 00:10:33.99\00:10:38.30 "I am the way, the truth, and the life." 00:10:38.33\00:10:44.45 Listen to me, my beloved friend, if you get to know Jesus Christ, 00:10:44.48\00:10:49.79 the Son of God, you are going to find life to the full, 00:10:49.82\00:10:54.50 and you are going to find the way, 00:10:54.53\00:10:56.81 and you are going to find the truth, 00:10:56.84\00:11:00.18 and you are going to find the life. 00:11:00.21\00:11:04.48 I want you to know today, I want you to know the way. 00:11:04.51\00:11:09.48 I want you to know what to say 00:11:09.51\00:11:11.79 when you think about these things. 00:11:11.82\00:11:13.73 Because Jesus said, "I am the way, 00:11:13.76\00:11:17.02 the truth, and the life." 00:11:17.05\00:11:20.07 Listen, I don't want to offend anybody, 00:11:20.10\00:11:22.53 but Jesus didn't say the church is the way. 00:11:22.56\00:11:26.34 Or some people say, 00:11:26.37\00:11:27.74 well, I am just going to trust in the church. 00:11:27.77\00:11:29.59 You better not trust too much 00:11:29.62\00:11:31.03 because churches make lots of mistakes. 00:11:31.06\00:11:34.34 Down through history churches made 00:11:34.37\00:11:36.42 lots and lots of mistakes. 00:11:36.45\00:11:37.95 The church is not the way, Jesus is the way. 00:11:37.98\00:11:41.08 Somebody says to me tonight, I don't want to offend anybody. 00:11:41.11\00:11:44.39 The person says to me tonight, 00:11:44.42\00:11:45.92 but the priest, my priest is the way. 00:11:45.95\00:11:48.57 My friend, the priest is not the way. 00:11:48.60\00:11:51.65 Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. 00:11:51.68\00:11:55.80 I want you to know this. 00:11:55.83\00:11:57.20 Jesus is the way. 00:11:57.23\00:11:58.60 Somebody says in a Protestant church. 00:11:58.63\00:12:00.38 Well, I am trusting in my pastor. 00:12:00.41\00:12:02.45 My pastor is going to get me home to the kingdom of God, 00:12:02.48\00:12:05.74 so I am going to trust in the church, 00:12:05.77\00:12:07.65 and I am going to trust in the priest, 00:12:07.68\00:12:09.33 I am going to trust in the pastor. 00:12:09.36\00:12:11.08 I want to tell you, folks, something tonight, 00:12:11.11\00:12:12.91 you better learn, we all better learn to trust in Jesus 00:12:12.94\00:12:17.85 who is the way, and the truth, and the life. 00:12:17.88\00:12:22.18 Hear what I am saying? 00:12:22.21\00:12:23.89 Now I like to hear from you, that sounds good. 00:12:23.92\00:12:26.12 I am glad you are agreeing with me. 00:12:26.15\00:12:31.87 Have you heard of the great reformation? 00:12:31.90\00:12:36.56 Well, I am going to talk about that later on, 00:12:36.59\00:12:38.20 as we go along tonight. 00:12:38.23\00:12:40.21 But the great reformers had a saying. 00:12:40.24\00:12:43.93 You don't have to remember this, but it would be good if you did. 00:12:43.96\00:12:49.15 They quoted the Latin Sola Christus. 00:12:49.18\00:12:53.19 You would say what on earth does that mean? 00:12:53.22\00:12:54.81 Sola Christus, only Christ. 00:12:54.84\00:12:58.58 Sola Scriptura, only Scripture. 00:12:58.61\00:13:01.75 Only Christ, only Scripture. 00:13:01.78\00:13:05.01 I want to tell you, folks, something 00:13:05.04\00:13:06.55 when you come into these meetings. 00:13:06.58\00:13:08.07 You are not going to find out what my church believes. 00:13:08.10\00:13:10.65 I am not here to tell you what my church believes, 00:13:10.68\00:13:13.14 I am not here to tell you what the priest believes, 00:13:13.17\00:13:15.43 I am not here tell you what my denomination believes. 00:13:15.46\00:13:18.01 I am here to lead you to Jesus 00:13:18.04\00:13:20.55 who is the way, and the truth, and the life. 00:13:20.58\00:13:26.23 And when you find Jesus, my friend, 00:13:26.26\00:13:29.02 you are going to find peace, and power, 00:13:29.05\00:13:32.04 and you are going to have long life, 00:13:32.07\00:13:34.04 and you are going to have prosperity, happiness. 00:13:34.07\00:13:37.68 Listen to me. 00:13:37.71\00:13:39.08 I am sort of steamed up here tonight. 00:13:39.11\00:13:41.10 It's just sort of ready to jump out of me. 00:13:41.13\00:13:43.92 Happiness, health, long life, 00:13:43.95\00:13:46.72 peace, and prosperity are found in Jesus Christ, 00:13:46.75\00:13:51.13 the eternal Son of the Almighty God. 00:13:51.16\00:13:54.90 Hallelujah, praise the Lord. 00:13:54.93\00:14:00.15 Now there are many thieves. 00:14:00.18\00:14:05.36 Did you know there are many thieves? 00:14:05.39\00:14:09.05 Hey, you folks, out there, are you listening to me? 00:14:09.08\00:14:11.75 All of you folks standing out there, 00:14:11.78\00:14:14.03 and you folks over there in the bleachers, 00:14:14.06\00:14:16.28 you folks half a mile away, 00:14:16.31\00:14:17.83 and you folks in the parking lot, 00:14:17.86\00:14:19.90 a mile away, I want you to listen. 00:14:19.93\00:14:22.25 There are many thieves who steal, kill, and destroy. 00:14:22.28\00:14:28.56 Jesus said, "The thief comes only to steal, 00:14:28.59\00:14:33.99 and to kill, and to destroy. 00:14:34.02\00:14:37.26 That's what Jesus said. 00:14:37.29\00:14:39.17 Jesus said, the thieves have been coming 00:14:39.20\00:14:42.79 and they have been stealing, 00:14:42.82\00:14:44.28 and they have been taking away from us life. 00:14:44.31\00:14:48.22 They have been taking away from us our peace, 00:14:48.25\00:14:51.54 and our joy, and our happiness, 00:14:51.57\00:14:54.20 and they have been leaving us spiritual paupers. 00:14:54.23\00:15:01.56 I am going to say some things that might offend some of you. 00:15:01.59\00:15:03.86 I don't want to offend you, 00:15:03.89\00:15:06.31 but I am here tonight not to run a popularity contest. 00:15:06.34\00:15:13.02 I am here tonight by the grace of God, 00:15:13.05\00:15:15.62 not to try to please you, but to please God by preaching 00:15:15.65\00:15:20.29 and teaching the truth. 00:15:20.32\00:15:22.15 So help me, God. 00:15:22.18\00:15:26.01 I am going to talk about some of the thieves 00:15:26.04\00:15:28.71 that are among us. 00:15:28.74\00:15:31.33 There's a thief that is called drugs. 00:15:31.36\00:15:38.07 Did you know there's a war going on south of the border, 00:15:38.10\00:15:42.37 only a couple of 100 miles 00:15:42.40\00:15:44.25 from where I live in the United States? 00:15:44.28\00:15:47.10 Every year in this dreadful war 00:15:47.13\00:15:50.94 which is being fought over drugs, 00:15:50.97\00:15:53.38 more than 10,000 people are murdered every year. 00:15:53.41\00:15:59.94 They even cut people's heads off. 00:15:59.97\00:16:03.16 Cut off their heads 00:16:03.19\00:16:04.56 and they roll their heads across the streets, 00:16:04.59\00:16:09.12 because of the insatiable demand for drugs. 00:16:09.15\00:16:16.52 A friend of mine, Javier Piraneque 00:16:16.55\00:16:18.55 should be a picture. 00:16:18.58\00:16:19.95 Today, it's hard to believe of the criminals who were caught 00:16:19.98\00:16:27.16 and they had accumulated a mass of 22 billion dollars 00:16:27.19\00:16:35.16 through the blood of men and women. 00:16:35.19\00:16:40.07 Twenty two-- I saw the picture. 00:16:40.10\00:16:43.02 Javier showed me the picture of all of these bank notes. 00:16:43.05\00:16:49.34 Twenty two billion dollars worth of-- 00:16:49.37\00:16:55.82 twenty two billion dollars worth of blood. 00:16:55.85\00:17:00.62 And there is another thief in this part of the world. 00:17:00.65\00:17:05.02 Now here I am going to get close to some of you. 00:17:05.05\00:17:07.77 And I don't want to offend you. 00:17:07.80\00:17:10.27 But it's taking away the blessing of God. 00:17:10.30\00:17:13.53 It's hurting you. 00:17:13.56\00:17:14.96 It's destroying your life. 00:17:14.99\00:17:16.90 It is called the betel nut. 00:17:16.93\00:17:21.23 You think it's funny? 00:17:25.15\00:17:27.52 You really think it's funny? 00:17:27.55\00:17:30.90 I want to tell you it's a poisonous drug. 00:17:30.93\00:17:36.61 And what it is doing, it is destroying people's lives 00:17:40.44\00:17:45.84 and as they chew it. 00:17:45.87\00:17:47.33 The devil is laughing at them. 00:17:47.36\00:17:51.05 Oh, they think they are smart. 00:17:51.08\00:17:54.04 And once they start they can't stop. 00:17:54.07\00:17:57.00 But I want to tell you Jesus can take away 00:17:57.03\00:18:01.09 the curse of the drugs out of your life 00:18:01.12\00:18:04.77 including betel nut and marijuana, 00:18:04.80\00:18:09.64 and opium, and cocaine, 00:18:09.67\00:18:12.62 and all of these dreadful drugs. 00:18:12.65\00:18:17.06 There's a thief that is called promiscuity. 00:18:17.09\00:18:22.89 I want to talk to the young people. 00:18:22.92\00:18:25.68 In the western world, 00:18:25.71\00:18:27.08 it's becoming almost the thing that most people do 00:18:27.11\00:18:31.29 and that is to sleep around. 00:18:31.32\00:18:34.60 And they sleep around, 00:18:34.63\00:18:36.69 and they have no sense of faithfulness 00:18:36.72\00:18:41.11 to a single partner 00:18:41.14\00:18:43.15 and that is why AIDS in some part of the world 00:18:43.18\00:18:48.17 is almost out of control. 00:18:48.20\00:18:51.32 Because people are breaking the holy law of God 00:18:51.35\00:18:55.97 and they say, why are we so miserable, 00:18:56.00\00:18:59.59 why aren't we happy, why doesn't God bless me? 00:18:59.62\00:19:03.07 The people say it's because you won't let God bless you, 00:19:03.10\00:19:07.29 because of promiscuity. 00:19:07.32\00:19:09.82 What about dishonesty? 00:19:09.85\00:19:11.60 What a thief is dishonesty? 00:19:11.63\00:19:14.20 I think of the year 2008 00:19:14.23\00:19:16.95 when we had the tremendous worldwide financial crisis. 00:19:16.98\00:19:21.38 You know why it started? 00:19:21.41\00:19:23.37 Would you like to know? 00:19:23.40\00:19:24.80 It is because of some of the great banks 00:19:24.83\00:19:28.57 in the United States of America, and some of banks in London, 00:19:28.60\00:19:33.59 and some of the banks in Germany. 00:19:33.62\00:19:37.49 And they were stealing, 00:19:37.52\00:19:40.16 and they were lying to the people. 00:19:40.19\00:19:43.27 And therefore in the United States of America 00:19:43.30\00:19:46.39 commencing at Wall Street millions and millions 00:19:46.42\00:19:51.86 and billions of decent people lost their homes. 00:19:51.89\00:19:57.74 It's because of dishonesty, and lying, 00:19:57.77\00:20:01.77 and cheating, and stealing. 00:20:01.80\00:20:04.07 Why don't people come out and talk about these things? 00:20:04.10\00:20:08.24 Why don't we say to some of those banks, 00:20:08.27\00:20:10.26 you have been stealing from the people? 00:20:10.29\00:20:12.42 And you have been lying to the people? 00:20:12.45\00:20:16.91 I think of evil spirits how they must be laughing. 00:20:16.94\00:20:22.28 It is believed in many parts of the world 00:20:22.31\00:20:24.91 that the dead can come back and they can talk to the living, 00:20:24.94\00:20:28.97 and the living can talk to the dead 00:20:29.00\00:20:31.23 that's what they believe. 00:20:31.26\00:20:32.90 And in the United States of America 00:20:32.93\00:20:34.87 there a television programs where there are occult masters 00:20:34.90\00:20:41.79 and they introduce living people to their dead loved ones. 00:20:41.82\00:20:47.67 My friend, it is demonism, it is stealing. 00:20:47.70\00:20:51.57 It is stealing the souls of the people. 00:20:51.60\00:20:55.43 I think if crime-- I have had people say to me, 00:20:55.46\00:20:59.59 but poverty causes crime. 00:20:59.62\00:21:01.59 There maybe some truth in this, 00:21:01.62\00:21:03.36 but I want you to know it's only partially true, 00:21:03.39\00:21:06.42 because it's not so much a case that poverty causes crime, 00:21:06.45\00:21:10.78 but crime causes poverty. 00:21:10.81\00:21:17.58 The happiest people are the people 00:21:17.61\00:21:20.90 who keep the commandments of God. 00:21:20.93\00:21:24.20 I think of violence in our cities, 00:21:24.23\00:21:27.30 I think of the gangs in the United States of America. 00:21:27.33\00:21:32.23 Pastor Willie G works with the gang members. 00:21:32.26\00:21:36.43 There are more than a 100,000 gang members 00:21:36.46\00:21:41.79 in the United States of America. 00:21:41.82\00:21:44.61 Would you like to know why these gangs exist? 00:21:44.64\00:21:49.01 Because for many of those young people 00:21:49.04\00:21:53.30 it's the only family they have ever known. 00:21:53.33\00:21:57.37 You want to know a dirty little secret? 00:22:00.12\00:22:03.68 There are men, yeah, there's millions of them. 00:22:03.71\00:22:08.81 And they get women pregnant. 00:22:08.84\00:22:12.23 You don't have to be that smart to do that. 00:22:12.26\00:22:15.86 They get women pregnant 00:22:15.89\00:22:18.35 and then they walk out on the woman. 00:22:18.38\00:22:21.31 And the woman has to bring up the children. 00:22:21.34\00:22:24.29 And sometimes you have got a woman 00:22:24.32\00:22:26.92 and she is got six children with six different fathers. 00:22:26.95\00:22:32.63 And what happens to the children. 00:22:32.66\00:22:35.16 These children in the great cities of America, 00:22:35.19\00:22:38.66 they get into gang. 00:22:38.69\00:22:40.80 I want to tell you, folks, something tonight. 00:22:43.83\00:22:46.58 Sex was made 00:22:50.12\00:22:55.39 for loving people in the context of marriage. 00:22:55.42\00:23:00.55 And if you beget, 00:23:03.04\00:23:05.60 you must not forget 00:23:05.63\00:23:08.91 that you have brought a little child into the world. 00:23:08.94\00:23:13.41 They call these fathers who have children 00:23:13.44\00:23:16.50 and then walk away, they call them deadbeat dads. 00:23:16.53\00:23:22.25 If you want to be happy and if you want to have joy, 00:23:26.51\00:23:31.13 ladies and gentlemen, obey the laws of marriage 00:23:31.16\00:23:36.46 and obey the laws of God. 00:23:36.49\00:23:42.75 Lying, it's a thief. 00:23:42.78\00:23:48.22 Lying. 00:23:48.25\00:23:49.70 A man is as good as his word. 00:23:53.36\00:23:59.04 Today we expect that people at least 00:23:59.07\00:24:03.38 where I come from Los Angeles 00:24:03.41\00:24:05.47 we expect that many people are going to lie to us. 00:24:05.50\00:24:10.89 The Bible says, 00:24:10.92\00:24:12.61 "In the kingdom of God there will be no liars." 00:24:12.64\00:24:20.06 It's a thief. 00:24:20.09\00:24:22.39 It robs us of our peace. 00:24:22.42\00:24:24.98 It robs us of our joy. 00:24:25.01\00:24:28.38 And when a leader gets up and says something 00:24:28.41\00:24:30.47 the people have the right to believe, 00:24:30.50\00:24:33.28 he's going to tell the truth. 00:24:33.31\00:24:34.68 Listen to me. 00:24:34.71\00:24:37.01 A generation ago, 00:24:37.04\00:24:38.84 there was a great President of the United States. 00:24:38.87\00:24:44.06 He was loved by the people. 00:24:44.09\00:24:46.99 But then he went on television, 00:24:47.02\00:24:48.54 because an incident arose 00:24:48.57\00:24:50.71 and he lied to the American people. 00:24:50.74\00:24:55.77 The greatest sin that you can do 00:24:55.80\00:24:58.25 if you are the President of the United States 00:24:58.28\00:25:00.69 is to lie to the American people, 00:25:00.72\00:25:05.42 because the American people will forgive anything, 00:25:05.45\00:25:08.43 but they will not forgive a liar. 00:25:08.46\00:25:13.90 What happened was this? 00:25:13.93\00:25:16.12 When the news got out 00:25:16.15\00:25:17.52 that their President had been lying to them. 00:25:17.55\00:25:21.66 Congress and the Senate met together 00:25:21.69\00:25:24.73 and they said he's got to go, he's got to go. 00:25:24.76\00:25:28.77 And while he was the President, he was forced to walk away 00:25:28.80\00:25:33.66 from the White House, because he was a liar. 00:25:33.69\00:25:39.76 Listen, lying is a thief. 00:25:42.49\00:25:48.57 It steals from the people. 00:25:48.60\00:25:50.67 It steals from our souls. 00:25:50.70\00:25:54.12 I am telling you tonight. 00:25:54.15\00:25:56.11 Racism. 00:25:56.14\00:25:58.54 I know I am saying some things tonight 00:25:58.57\00:26:00.57 maybe they are going to offend some people, 00:26:00.60\00:26:04.04 but they are not going to offend people 00:26:04.07\00:26:05.79 who want to follow Christ. 00:26:05.82\00:26:08.20 Going to talk about racism. 00:26:10.97\00:26:14.50 In America and other countries 00:26:14.53\00:26:17.46 there is the phenomenon of white elitism. 00:26:17.49\00:26:24.32 Like the Klu Klux Klan 00:26:24.35\00:26:27.68 that is banned in the United States of America. 00:26:27.71\00:26:31.79 And I want you to know I hate racism. 00:26:31.82\00:26:37.61 Listen to me, 00:26:40.03\00:26:43.05 in America there has been white racism 00:26:43.08\00:26:49.15 where white people didn't want to associate with black people. 00:26:49.18\00:26:53.40 Don't they realize that Jesus was not a white man? 00:26:53.43\00:26:58.40 Jesus wasn't a white man with blue eyes and blonde hair. 00:27:01.19\00:27:07.17 Jesus was a man from the Middle East, 00:27:07.20\00:27:10.11 He was man for black people, and white people, 00:27:10.14\00:27:12.91 and brown people, and yellow people. 00:27:12.94\00:27:14.88 Jesus is the universal man. 00:27:14.91\00:27:17.77 Now I am going to go a little further. 00:27:20.74\00:27:22.72 And I know I am not going to offend any person here tonight 00:27:22.75\00:27:27.37 who wants to follow Christ. 00:27:27.40\00:27:30.58 But then there's tribalism. 00:27:30.61\00:27:32.70 I haven't seen any of it in this part of the world. 00:27:32.73\00:27:38.35 But I think of Rwanda. 00:27:38.38\00:27:41.64 There were two tribes of black people. 00:27:44.41\00:27:51.53 One tribe killed 800,000 of their brothers, 00:27:51.56\00:27:58.49 because they belong to another tribe. 00:27:58.52\00:28:01.08 Oh, God, have mercy on us. 00:28:01.11\00:28:04.32 Listen, it is not the pigmentation of your skin. 00:28:06.23\00:28:14.00 Martin Luther King said, 00:28:15.80\00:28:17.95 he said, "I pray," said Martin Luther King 00:28:17.98\00:28:22.18 "that people will not be judged by the color of their skin, 00:28:22.21\00:28:27.04 but by the content of their character." 00:28:27.07\00:28:32.59 You see, man looks on the outward appearance, 00:28:34.59\00:28:39.65 but the Lord looks on the heart. 00:28:39.68\00:28:43.69 I want you to know it doesn't matter 00:28:43.72\00:28:46.08 whether you are black, whether you are brown, 00:28:46.11\00:28:49.40 whether you are yellow, hether you are white 00:28:49.43\00:28:51.93 I want you to know we are all the children of the one God 00:28:51.96\00:28:56.06 and we are brothers and sisters 00:28:56.09\00:28:59.38 and therefore we are called to love each other. 00:28:59.41\00:29:05.64 And when you got people who are called by God 00:29:05.67\00:29:10.49 and they love each other whether they are white, 00:29:10.52\00:29:13.72 or black, or brown, or yellow 00:29:13.75\00:29:16.88 they will have life to the full, 00:29:16.91\00:29:19.78 because they will be following Jesus 00:29:19.81\00:29:22.71 who is the way, the truth, and the life. 00:29:22.74\00:29:26.64 And I say to you tonight, 00:29:26.67\00:29:28.14 God help us to be the followers of Christ. 00:29:28.17\00:29:33.60 I am talking about the some of the thieves. 00:29:33.63\00:29:35.59 I am talking about some of the thieves. 00:29:35.62\00:29:37.81 There There is a thief that is called alcohol. 00:29:37.84\00:29:43.75 The Bible says, "Wine is a mocker. 00:29:43.78\00:29:47.75 Strong drink is raging." 00:29:47.78\00:29:51.45 I admire my Muslim friends, because a part of their religion 00:29:51.48\00:29:56.61 is they do not drink alcohol. 00:29:56.64\00:30:00.46 I will tell you a story. 00:30:04.02\00:30:07.03 Years ago, in the United States of America, 00:30:07.06\00:30:10.74 there was a young man sentenced to death 00:30:10.77\00:30:13.31 to die in the electric chair? 00:30:13.34\00:30:16.38 What a death. 00:30:16.41\00:30:18.02 And a friend of mine went to see him. 00:30:21.31\00:30:24.06 This was years ago. 00:30:24.09\00:30:25.89 He started to talk to this young man 00:30:25.92\00:30:28.75 in his cell on death row and he said, 00:30:28.78\00:30:33.30 "My boy, why would you ever kill your mother?" 00:30:33.33\00:30:39.58 This boy of 24 years of age had murdered his own mother. 00:30:39.61\00:30:46.85 What a sin? 00:30:46.88\00:30:48.30 He said, "Tell me about it." 00:30:51.22\00:30:53.78 He said, "Well, I came home late at night. 00:30:53.81\00:30:56.58 I have been drinking. 00:30:56.61\00:30:58.42 My mother came out of the bedroom 00:30:58.45\00:31:01.33 and she started to nag me. 00:31:01.36\00:31:04.18 She started to preach to me. 00:31:04.21\00:31:06.40 She started to lecture me." 00:31:06.43\00:31:08.44 And he said, "I couldn't think for myself, 00:31:08.47\00:31:13.08 my mind had been stolen by the thief, 00:31:13.11\00:31:16.82 I didn't want to do it. 00:31:16.85\00:31:18.36 I didn't know what I was doing." 00:31:18.39\00:31:20.84 And he said, "I went to the counter 00:31:20.87\00:31:23.84 and I got the bread knife and I came over 00:31:23.87\00:31:27.71 and I stabbed my mother over and over again." 00:31:27.74\00:31:32.77 Then my friend said to him, 00:31:35.58\00:31:39.07 "Boy, who gave you your first drink?" 00:31:39.10\00:31:45.46 He said, "My mother gave me my first drink. 00:31:48.32\00:31:54.03 My mother taught me to drink and I killed her." 00:31:57.37\00:32:04.21 You know, I am dedicated to teaching the truth. 00:32:07.36\00:32:12.11 I am not dedicated to pleasing people. 00:32:12.14\00:32:14.92 What I want more than anything else 00:32:14.95\00:32:16.88 is to get you people home to the kingdom of God. 00:32:16.91\00:32:21.02 And I want you to come to know Christ. 00:32:21.05\00:32:23.32 I want you to have Christ in your life. 00:32:23.35\00:32:25.82 I want us to have our lives transformed by the power 00:32:25.85\00:32:30.95 and the grace of God, because Jesus is the way, 00:32:30.98\00:32:34.24 the truth, and the life. 00:32:34.27\00:32:36.82 I think of lawlessness that seems to fill the streets 00:32:36.85\00:32:41.35 of some of the great American cities 00:32:41.38\00:32:43.77 stealing, cheating, lying, 00:32:43.80\00:32:46.65 taking that which is not our own. 00:32:46.68\00:32:48.80 I think of a thief that is called adultery 00:32:48.83\00:32:56.50 where men and women hop from one bed to another. 00:32:58.53\00:33:06.18 And I wonder 00:33:07.34\00:33:08.86 why they are so emotionally torn into a million pieces. 00:33:08.89\00:33:15.90 He going from Mary 00:33:15.93\00:33:20.68 to Susie 00:33:20.71\00:33:24.11 to Beverly to Joann 00:33:24.14\00:33:28.28 and it goes on 00:33:28.31\00:33:29.68 and the women are hopping into bed with other men. 00:33:29.71\00:33:35.45 And I wonder why they are psychologically sick. 00:33:35.48\00:33:41.33 Jesus said, "I have come that they may have life 00:33:43.89\00:33:46.54 and have it to the full." 00:33:46.57\00:33:48.24 I am not here tonight 00:33:48.27\00:33:49.64 to try to get you to give up anything. 00:33:49.67\00:33:51.51 I am here tonight to get you to accept someone. 00:33:51.54\00:33:55.47 And when we accept someone He will come into out hearts 00:33:55.50\00:33:59.48 and He will change our lives. 00:33:59.51\00:34:01.77 He will make us better people. 00:34:01.80\00:34:04.95 I am going to say something that's very sensitive. 00:34:04.98\00:34:07.02 This program is going to be seen on American television. 00:34:07.05\00:34:10.27 So I am going to stick my neck out. 00:34:10.30\00:34:15.30 A lot of people in America and Australia 00:34:15.33\00:34:19.24 are not going to like what I am going to say. 00:34:19.27\00:34:23.40 The President of the United States recently 00:34:23.43\00:34:26.35 with the backing of the NAACP 00:34:26.38\00:34:30.14 said, "It was great for men to marry men, 00:34:30.17\00:34:36.13 and women to marry women. 00:34:36.16\00:34:40.15 They call it gay marriage." 00:34:40.18\00:34:43.71 But I want to tell the President of the United States 00:34:46.75\00:34:50.25 and everybody else that the Bible teaches 00:34:50.28\00:34:55.30 that a marriage is not between a man and a man, 00:34:55.33\00:34:58.43 and a woman and a woman. 00:34:58.46\00:34:59.83 A marriage is between a man and a woman, 00:34:59.86\00:35:04.42 Jesus said so. 00:35:04.45\00:35:06.86 Jesus said so. 00:35:06.89\00:35:08.26 Jesus said, "In the beginning we made them male and female." 00:35:08.29\00:35:12.61 And if you come to this meeting 00:35:12.64\00:35:14.17 and if you keep coming to this meeting 00:35:14.20\00:35:16.31 and if you follow these truths you are going to find 00:35:16.34\00:35:18.83 that I am going to tell you a man ought to marry a woman 00:35:18.86\00:35:22.31 and a woman ought to marry a man. 00:35:22.34\00:35:25.26 And we are opposed to gay marriage. 00:35:25.29\00:35:27.79 We are not opposed to homosexuals. 00:35:27.82\00:35:29.85 We love them. 00:35:29.88\00:35:31.25 We are not opposed to gay people. 00:35:31.28\00:35:32.89 We are not opposed to lesbians. 00:35:32.92\00:35:34.66 Jesus died for them, 00:35:34.69\00:35:36.39 but we are here to tell you tonight 00:35:36.42\00:35:38.29 that marriage is between a man and a woman, 00:35:38.32\00:35:42.21 and between a woman and a man, so help us God. 00:35:42.24\00:35:45.76 You know, in some parts of the world, 00:35:48.22\00:35:52.13 AIDS is almost out of control. 00:35:52.16\00:35:55.44 In some countries that I have visited 00:35:55.47\00:35:57.81 they say to me, 00:35:57.84\00:35:59.21 be careful that you don't have an accident 00:35:59.24\00:36:01.07 that you go to hospital 00:36:01.10\00:36:02.47 and you got to have a blood transfusion, 00:36:02.50\00:36:04.41 because 28% of the people in this certain country 00:36:04.44\00:36:08.88 are carrying the AIDS. 00:36:08.91\00:36:11.01 They are carrying this terrible virus 00:36:11.04\00:36:13.58 and there's no cure for it. 00:36:13.61\00:36:16.03 And if this virus gets inside you, 00:36:16.06\00:36:19.01 sooner or later you are going to come down with AIDS. 00:36:19.04\00:36:25.55 Listen to me, 00:36:25.58\00:36:27.68 Jesus loves everybody, loves homosexuals, 00:36:27.71\00:36:32.97 He loves heterosexuals, He loves lesbians, 00:36:33.00\00:36:37.91 He loves me, He loves you, 00:36:37.94\00:36:41.25 He loves the Muslims, He loves the Hindus, 00:36:41.28\00:36:45.31 He loves the Roman Catholics, He loves the Baptists, 00:36:45.34\00:36:49.45 He loves the Pentecostals, He loves the Adventists, 00:36:49.48\00:36:52.90 He loves the Lutherans, Jesus loves people. 00:36:52.93\00:36:57.97 And Jesus came to this world 00:36:58.00\00:37:03.60 because these thieves are everywhere. 00:37:03.63\00:37:07.44 These thieves are stealing from us 00:37:07.47\00:37:10.01 and they are killing us. 00:37:10.04\00:37:12.37 And why am I talking of this tonight 00:37:12.40\00:37:14.25 because I want you to be happy, I want you to have peace, 00:37:14.28\00:37:18.38 I want you to have joy, 00:37:18.41\00:37:20.37 I want you to have a great life now, 00:37:20.40\00:37:22.55 and then I want you to have a magnificent life 00:37:22.58\00:37:27.09 in the kingdom of God when Jesus comes. 00:37:27.12\00:37:30.62 Listen to me, 00:37:30.65\00:37:33.22 the happiest people in the world, 00:37:33.25\00:37:36.41 never forget this young people. 00:37:36.44\00:37:39.62 I have seen a lot the happiest people 00:37:39.65\00:37:43.00 in this world are those who follow God's ways 00:37:43.03\00:37:46.44 and keep His commandments. 00:37:46.47\00:37:49.13 And I am going to turn to Isaiah 48:18, 19 00:37:49.16\00:37:54.54 and I want you to look at these tremendous words. 00:37:54.57\00:37:57.82 Look at these words. 00:37:57.85\00:37:59.22 "If only you had paid attention to my commands, 00:37:59.25\00:38:02.47 your peace would have been like a river, 00:38:02.50\00:38:05.28 your well-being like the waves of the sea. 00:38:05.31\00:38:09.40 Your descendants would have been like the sand, 00:38:09.43\00:38:12.46 your children like its numberless grains, 00:38:12.49\00:38:15.69 their names would never be blotted out 00:38:15.72\00:38:17.75 nor destroyed from before me." 00:38:17.78\00:38:20.54 I want you to visualize tonight. 00:38:20.57\00:38:23.84 Can I get you to do this? 00:38:23.87\00:38:25.28 This is a different meeting 00:38:25.31\00:38:26.74 because I am sort of getting close to you. 00:38:26.77\00:38:29.58 I am talking about things a lot of people say, 00:38:29.61\00:38:32.88 we should not talk about. 00:38:32.91\00:38:35.32 But I am not here tonight, because I am running for offers. 00:38:35.35\00:38:38.32 I am not here tonight to be popular with you. 00:38:38.35\00:38:40.71 I am here tonight to get you into the kingdom of God. 00:38:40.74\00:38:44.11 Listen, my friend, the Bible says, 00:38:44.14\00:38:47.89 "If you follow Jesus, and if you keep His commandments 00:38:47.92\00:38:52.28 your peace is going to be like a river." 00:38:52.31\00:38:56.91 It's going to be sweet, it's going to be refreshing, 00:38:56.94\00:39:02.25 it's going to give you life. 00:39:02.28\00:39:05.32 Your children, your descendents 00:39:05.35\00:39:07.50 are going to be like the grains of the sand on the sea shore. 00:39:07.53\00:39:13.51 God is going to bless you. 00:39:13.54\00:39:15.93 People are going to say, what happened to that person, 00:39:15.96\00:39:18.80 what happened to that man who came to the Carter Report 00:39:18.83\00:39:21.33 in Port Moresby. 00:39:21.36\00:39:22.91 He looks so good. 00:39:22.94\00:39:25.02 Look at his wife, she looks so happy, 00:39:25.05\00:39:27.61 she looks even more beautiful, her skin is even nicer. 00:39:27.64\00:39:33.64 They are going to say, what happened to these people 00:39:34.81\00:39:37.56 they have something they never had before. 00:39:37.59\00:39:41.05 They have my friend, the living Christ 00:39:41.08\00:39:44.26 and His commandments. 00:39:44.29\00:39:47.56 I am going to tell you something now, 00:39:47.59\00:39:49.39 some of you know about it, but lots of you don't. 00:39:49.42\00:39:53.54 I am going to tell the story of the great reformation 00:39:53.57\00:39:57.21 that swept over Europe hundreds of years ago. 00:39:57.24\00:40:01.12 We call it by that name 'The Reformation.' 00:40:01.15\00:40:06.38 And listen to me as I tell you this, 00:40:06.41\00:40:08.95 because as these truths get into your hearts tonight 00:40:08.98\00:40:13.23 you are going to be a changed people 00:40:13.26\00:40:15.23 and you are going to be a blessed people, 00:40:15.26\00:40:17.29 you are going to be a wealthier people, 00:40:17.32\00:40:19.28 you are going to be a prosperous people. 00:40:19.31\00:40:20.98 Listen, there was a man by the name of Martin Luther. 00:40:21.01\00:40:26.41 Martin Luther was a Roman Catholic priest, 00:40:26.44\00:40:28.74 one of the most sincere people 00:40:28.77\00:40:30.64 who has ever lived on this planet. 00:40:30.67\00:40:33.01 Martin Luther started to study the Scriptures 00:40:33.04\00:40:35.84 and he became disgusted 00:40:35.87\00:40:37.37 with some of the corruptions of the church, 00:40:37.40\00:40:40.38 because the church is made up of people 00:40:40.41\00:40:42.36 like you and me, people who make mistakes. 00:40:42.39\00:40:44.87 And Martin Luther started to teach the Bible. 00:40:44.90\00:40:48.01 He started to teach about Christ. 00:40:48.04\00:40:50.31 And wherever his teachings went, 00:40:50.34\00:40:52.35 it was like a great river flowing, 00:40:52.38\00:40:54.69 because people started to feel better. 00:40:54.72\00:40:57.55 They started to look better, they started to live longer, 00:40:57.58\00:41:01.15 they started to become more prosperous. 00:41:01.18\00:41:03.63 And the marvelous thing is this wherever the teachings 00:41:03.66\00:41:07.71 of that great Protestant reformation went 00:41:07.74\00:41:11.40 it brought healing, and joy, 00:41:11.43\00:41:14.47 and prosperity, and longevity, 00:41:14.50\00:41:17.45 and the people were caught up on clouds almost to heaven. 00:41:17.48\00:41:21.99 It was a net of Almighty God. 00:41:22.02\00:41:26.22 Where the Bible went like a great flowing stream 00:41:26.25\00:41:30.53 in the desert it brought life, and health, and healing. 00:41:30.56\00:41:36.00 Listen, I am going to make a promise to you. 00:41:36.03\00:41:40.73 I raise my hand before God. 00:41:40.76\00:41:44.97 I am going to tell you this story in a moment 00:41:45.00\00:41:46.71 at a US news want you to keep it there. 00:41:46.74\00:41:51.66 Young people, old people, boys and girls, 00:41:51.69\00:41:57.44 if you will follow Christ, the crucified Christ, 00:41:57.47\00:42:02.04 the resurrected Christ. 00:42:02.07\00:42:04.10 If you will read His word, if you will obey His word 00:42:04.13\00:42:11.89 you are going to be a people marveled at. 00:42:14.03\00:42:19.64 They will say, "What happened to the people in Port Moresby? 00:42:19.67\00:42:26.07 They have become healthier, they are living longer, 00:42:26.10\00:42:30.75 they are becoming wealthier, 00:42:30.78\00:42:33.94 they are a marvel to the world 00:42:33.97\00:42:36.90 it is because they have discovered the secret of life." 00:42:36.93\00:42:43.37 Listen, there's a magazine in the United States 00:42:43.40\00:42:47.93 it is not a religious magazine and it is anything 00:42:47.96\00:42:50.26 but a religious magazine. 00:42:50.29\00:42:51.89 It is called the "US News & World Report." 00:42:51.92\00:42:56.46 There is an edition on the best hospitals 00:42:56.49\00:42:58.95 in the United States of America. 00:42:58.98\00:43:01.07 But we are not going to talk about the best hospitals 00:43:01.10\00:43:03.69 in the United States of America. 00:43:03.72\00:43:05.37 It also--listen, 00:43:05.40\00:43:09.82 it talks that those places in the world 00:43:09.85\00:43:16.53 where the people are the happiest, and healthiest. 00:43:16.56\00:43:24.07 The people with the greatest prosperity 00:43:25.32\00:43:30.63 and this magazine that is not a Christian magazine said, 00:43:30.66\00:43:37.00 "They are the countries that follow Christ." 00:43:37.03\00:43:43.49 They say, "They are the countries 00:43:46.00\00:43:48.60 that respect the Bible. 00:43:48.63\00:43:51.88 Listen to me, 00:43:54.22\00:43:55.92 when the great river of the reformation 00:44:00.20\00:44:04.16 flooded out to the world, some nations accepted, 00:44:04.19\00:44:10.03 some rejected. 00:44:10.06\00:44:12.18 The nations that rejected went down into poverty, 00:44:12.21\00:44:18.16 and crime, and drugs, 00:44:18.19\00:44:21.65 and smuggling, and murders. 00:44:21.68\00:44:25.55 But the countries that worshipped Christ 00:44:28.05\00:44:34.56 even though, they had many problems and many sins, 00:44:34.59\00:44:39.41 they became the most blessed countries in the world. 00:44:39.44\00:44:46.35 The prophet said, 00:44:48.60\00:44:49.97 "Oh, that you would hearken to my commandments, 00:44:50.00\00:44:52.35 then your peace would have been like a river, 00:44:52.38\00:44:56.69 and your righteousness as the waves of the sea." 00:44:56.72\00:45:01.30 I want to say to the man sitting back there 00:45:01.33\00:45:04.15 who's been having an adulterous relationship. 00:45:04.18\00:45:07.16 That is destroying you. 00:45:07.19\00:45:10.42 It is pulling you down. 00:45:10.45\00:45:12.50 I want to say to the woman 00:45:12.53\00:45:14.31 who is living a promiscuous life. 00:45:14.34\00:45:16.82 You are going from man to man. 00:45:16.85\00:45:18.89 You know, why you are doing this, 00:45:18.92\00:45:20.29 my dear friend, it is because you are so empty inside. 00:45:20.32\00:45:24.79 It is because you are not happy, 00:45:24.82\00:45:26.71 you are bored, you are bored. 00:45:26.74\00:45:29.21 I want to say to the people here the men and the women 00:45:29.24\00:45:31.94 who are on drugs. 00:45:31.97\00:45:34.46 You take those drugs because you need those drugs. 00:45:34.49\00:45:38.37 You take those drugs because you are not strong. 00:45:38.40\00:45:41.53 You take those drugs because you lack power. 00:45:41.56\00:45:44.95 I want to say to you tonight get on to Jesus, 00:45:44.98\00:45:48.79 get the power that comes from Jesus 00:45:48.82\00:45:51.52 and if you get the power that comes from Jesus 00:45:51.55\00:45:54.33 you will not want your alcohol, 00:45:54.36\00:45:56.93 you will not want your betel nut, 00:45:56.96\00:45:59.22 you will not want your marijuana, 00:45:59.25\00:46:01.49 you will not want those drugs, 00:46:01.52\00:46:03.47 because you will be turned on to Jesus. 00:46:03.50\00:46:09.29 Listen here it is Papua New Guinea. 00:46:09.32\00:46:13.39 Here it is the best advice 00:46:13.42\00:46:15.61 and the best news you have ever had. 00:46:15.64\00:46:18.23 This is the truth. 00:46:18.26\00:46:19.92 The most prosperous countries, 00:46:19.95\00:46:22.58 the most prosperous people 00:46:22.61\00:46:24.64 are those who honor Christ and the Bible. 00:46:24.67\00:46:28.57 That is the report of "US News & World Report." 00:46:28.60\00:46:32.49 It is the truth. 00:46:32.52\00:46:34.45 Now I have been to Russia 42 times. 00:46:34.54\00:46:42.54 I love the Russian people, 00:46:42.57\00:46:44.74 I would like to think that the Russian-- 00:46:44.77\00:46:47.13 look at my beautiful friends. 00:46:47.16\00:46:50.58 I was in (indistinct) some little time ago. 00:46:50.61\00:46:54.59 They are happy people. 00:46:54.62\00:46:56.99 I found in the Solomon's the happiest people 00:46:57.02\00:47:00.49 are the people who know Christ. 00:47:00.52\00:47:04.49 When I came to PNG I have only been here for one week. 00:47:04.52\00:47:08.13 I have found some of the most beautiful, 00:47:08.16\00:47:10.88 some of the most loving people anywhere in the world. 00:47:10.91\00:47:15.80 I said to my wife, "I don't want to go home 00:47:15.83\00:47:19.80 because I love these people." 00:47:19.83\00:47:22.88 And I want you to know this. 00:47:24.36\00:47:27.79 You can tell the difference between 00:47:27.82\00:47:29.65 somebody who believes in Jesus and somebody who doesn't. 00:47:29.68\00:47:34.78 A person who believes in Jesus 00:47:34.81\00:47:37.31 and who keeps the commandments of God has got a smile. 00:47:37.34\00:47:42.88 A person who believes in Jesus 00:47:42.91\00:47:44.99 and keeps the commandments of God is faithful to his wife. 00:47:45.02\00:47:49.72 The wife is faithful to the husband. 00:47:49.75\00:47:52.43 There is no gay marriage or any of those things 00:47:52.46\00:47:55.75 that are so contrary to the Word of God. 00:47:55.78\00:47:59.28 Now I have been to Russia 42 times. 00:48:02.08\00:48:08.37 I have spoken to more atheists. 00:48:08.40\00:48:11.01 I guess, than any person living on the planet. 00:48:11.04\00:48:15.23 Hear what I said? 00:48:15.26\00:48:16.63 I have spoken to the KGB on two occasions. 00:48:16.66\00:48:21.40 I have spoken to millions and millions of atheists. 00:48:21.43\00:48:27.99 When I went to Russia, 00:48:28.02\00:48:30.26 I discovered what atheism had done to the soul of the people. 00:48:30.29\00:48:35.33 Alexander Solzhenitsyn perhaps, 00:48:35.36\00:48:38.09 the greatest Christian of the 20th century said, 00:48:38.12\00:48:41.30 "We forgot God and all these awful things came upon us." 00:48:41.33\00:48:47.97 During the time when the people forsook the Bible 00:48:48.00\00:48:52.92 and gave up Christ, 00:48:52.95\00:48:55.46 during that time that lasted around 70 years, 00:48:55.49\00:48:59.17 the atheists put to death in the Soviet Union 00:48:59.20\00:49:02.82 between 50 million and 70 million people. 00:49:02.85\00:49:07.46 When I went to Russia, 00:49:07.49\00:49:09.69 I discovered incredible poverty, 00:49:09.72\00:49:12.72 I discovered incredible alcoholism, 00:49:12.75\00:49:16.26 I discovered almost every second person was a drunk, 00:49:16.29\00:49:21.48 I discovered little orphans everywhere, 00:49:21.51\00:49:23.68 little orphans would come up to me, 00:49:23.71\00:49:25.20 whenever I was on the train going across Siberia. 00:49:25.23\00:49:27.86 When the train would come into the station, 00:49:27.89\00:49:29.65 when it was 40 degrees below, minus 40, 00:49:29.68\00:49:33.63 heaps of little children would come up to me 00:49:33.66\00:49:35.99 and they would put out their hands 00:49:36.02\00:49:37.96 because they were freezing, 00:49:37.99\00:49:39.71 because their parents were drunk. 00:49:39.74\00:49:44.53 Atheism tore the soul out of Russia. 00:49:44.56\00:49:51.38 When the atheists were ruling, when they got rid of God, 00:49:53.14\00:49:56.37 and when they got rid of Christ they brought upon Russia 00:49:56.40\00:50:01.19 a time of horror and the people became poor 00:50:01.22\00:50:06.62 and the people became sick. 00:50:06.65\00:50:10.80 It was like a living hell. 00:50:10.83\00:50:14.18 I open my heart you, I am a plain speaking man, 00:50:19.94\00:50:23.81 but nothing to hide. 00:50:23.84\00:50:25.97 My message is this. 00:50:26.00\00:50:28.36 The happiest people in this world are not the atheists. 00:50:28.39\00:50:33.88 They are not the nonbelievers, they are not the scoffers. 00:50:33.91\00:50:39.28 The happiest people are those who have faith in God, 00:50:39.31\00:50:44.12 in Jesus Christ our Lord, 00:50:44.15\00:50:47.01 and who keep the commandments of God. 00:50:47.04\00:50:50.24 You say to me, you don't understand us 00:50:54.00\00:50:56.74 here in Port Moresby. 00:50:56.77\00:51:00.02 I do understand you. 00:51:00.05\00:51:01.64 I understand you, I know you, I feel for you, 00:51:01.67\00:51:05.87 I feel the pain of some of you, I know your struggles, 00:51:05.90\00:51:10.75 I know the cries of your hearts, 00:51:10.78\00:51:13.29 and I want you to know Jesus is the way, 00:51:13.32\00:51:16.43 the truth, and the life. 00:51:16.46\00:51:17.86 And the happiest people are the people who turn to Christ. 00:51:17.89\00:51:22.15 And whose lives are changed by the power of God. 00:51:22.18\00:51:26.48 Though Though I am saying to you tonight, come to Christ. 00:51:26.51\00:51:29.48 I am saying to the young people come to Christ. 00:51:29.51\00:51:32.02 You think you are having a great time outside of Christ? 00:51:32.05\00:51:34.69 You can't be happy, you can't have peace, 00:51:34.72\00:51:37.47 you can't have joy until, you know, Jesus. 00:51:37.50\00:51:40.68 Jesus said, "I have come that they may have life, 00:51:40.71\00:51:45.04 and that they may have it," 00:51:45.07\00:51:46.69 as it says in the King James Version, 00:51:46.72\00:51:48.84 "more abundantly." 00:51:48.87\00:51:51.32 I can give a testimony tonight 00:51:51.35\00:51:55.05 that I have been teaching these truths 00:51:55.08\00:51:57.62 for 50 years without a break. 00:51:57.65\00:52:00.34 I have spoken to millions and millions of people. 00:52:00.37\00:52:04.62 I do it not because I am paid to do it. 00:52:04.65\00:52:08.85 I am no longer a young man. 00:52:08.88\00:52:11.74 I do it because I see how God can bring joy, 00:52:11.77\00:52:17.93 and happiness, and peace, 00:52:17.96\00:52:20.35 and prosperity to people who will believe. 00:52:20.38\00:52:24.50 And I have come to Port Moresby to say to you 00:52:24.53\00:52:27.41 believe in the Christ who died for you, my beloved friends. 00:52:27.44\00:52:32.03 I beseech you believe in Him. 00:52:32.06\00:52:36.95 There's a man-- I have been to many places. 00:52:39.96\00:52:42.37 I have been to China, spoken in China. 00:52:42.40\00:52:47.73 All through Europe, Russia, Ukraine, Siberia. 00:52:47.76\00:52:52.64 I have spoken outdoors in Siberia. 00:52:52.67\00:52:55.32 I have been out on Lake Baikal, when it's been minus 40 degrees. 00:52:55.35\00:53:00.01 I have been to so many, many places. 00:53:00.04\00:53:02.17 I have spoken across the United States of America, 00:53:02.20\00:53:05.32 down in Australia in the Sydney Opera House. 00:53:05.35\00:53:08.21 I have never spoken to a group quite as good 00:53:08.24\00:53:11.20 as the group in Port Moresby. 00:53:11.23\00:53:13.53 But listen, I have been to many places. 00:53:13.56\00:53:17.25 But there is a man here tonight 00:53:17.28\00:53:18.71 who has been to places I have not been to. 00:53:18.74\00:53:23.82 When he was the young man, 00:53:23.85\00:53:28.72 he was tremendously famous by the time I think he turned 19. 00:53:28.75\00:53:33.55 Everybody was talking about him in the United States. 00:53:33.58\00:53:37.27 They called him Willie G. 00:53:37.30\00:53:41.73 Good afternoon. 00:53:47.22\00:53:48.59 My name is Debbie Blencowe. 00:53:48.62\00:53:50.63 I am a teacher 00:53:50.66\00:53:52.03 at Carr Memorial Adventist Primary School. 00:53:52.06\00:53:55.05 I enjoy coming to this meeting 00:53:55.08\00:53:57.31 from the time when the time the program started. 00:53:57.34\00:54:02.25 And it has touched my life as well as my students life. 00:54:02.28\00:54:06.81 Especially
