The following presentation
was made by John Carter
00:00:01.40\00:00:03.37
to a crowd of more
than 100,000 souls.
00:00:03.40\00:00:06.51
This message is one
of a truth filled series
00:00:06.54\00:00:09.65
that was delivered in the
power of God's Holy Spirit
00:00:09.68\00:00:12.55
at the Sir John Guise Stadium,
Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.
00:00:12.58\00:00:16.84
One night, as the evangelists
spoke about the Holy Spirit,
00:00:16.87\00:00:20.28
a giant white bird flew
low over the vast audience
00:00:20.31\00:00:24.39
and the people rejoiced
that God had visited His people.
00:00:24.42\00:00:28.52
Crowd surged forward to accept
Christ as Lord and Savior.
00:00:28.55\00:00:32.54
A few days later,
thousands were baptized
00:00:32.57\00:00:35.08
in the sea at Ela Beach.
00:00:35.11\00:00:37.54
All who attended these
Holy Spirit anointed meetings
00:00:37.57\00:00:40.58
were convinced
that God's word is true
00:00:40.61\00:00:43.31
and His gospel is
still the power of God
00:00:43.34\00:00:46.31
for the salvation
of all who believed.
00:00:46.34\00:00:48.84
The message you're
about to hear and see
00:00:48.87\00:00:51.20
will not leave
you the same person.
00:00:51.23\00:00:53.93
Welcome to the Carter Report
at the Sir John Guise Stadium,
00:00:53.96\00:00:57.82
Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.
00:00:57.85\00:01:01.95
The topic is "Spirits,
Demons and the Occult."
00:01:01.98\00:01:06.44
Millions of people
believe in the western world
00:01:06.47\00:01:09.77
that a dead loved
one has spoken to them.
00:01:09.80\00:01:12.95
Many people in
PNG believe the same.
00:01:12.98\00:01:17.46
I ran a series of meetings
in the Sydney Opera House,
00:01:17.49\00:01:21.38
then I moved into
the suburb of Concord.
00:01:21.41\00:01:24.80
A lady came to the meetings
and one night she stayed behind
00:01:24.83\00:01:27.76
and she said Pastor Carter
I want to ask you a question.
00:01:27.79\00:01:33.21
I had spoken on this subject.
00:01:33.24\00:01:37.18
She said I don't believe
anything that you said tonight.
00:01:37.21\00:01:41.66
My question is, will you
please explain my experience?
00:01:41.69\00:01:47.57
She said, that is my
question, please explain it.
00:01:47.60\00:01:50.89
She said, my husband and
I were very close together.
00:01:50.92\00:01:53.95
We were married for many years.
00:01:53.98\00:01:57.62
She said, I
missed him a great deal
00:01:57.65\00:01:59.53
but then I stopped the grieving
and I was moving on in my life.
00:01:59.56\00:02:05.47
And then she said,
one evening in my home
00:02:05.50\00:02:09.99
I was sitting at
the kitchen table
00:02:10.02\00:02:11.72
and I looked to the kitchen
door and there was my husband.
00:02:11.75\00:02:17.10
He'd been dead by
then for a number of years.
00:02:17.13\00:02:20.55
He came in she said,
00:02:20.58\00:02:22.34
he was dressed
in the old clothes
00:02:22.37\00:02:24.39
that he used to wear
00:02:24.42\00:02:26.68
and he said you don't
need to be afraid, it's me.
00:02:26.71\00:02:30.25
And he sat down and he
talked to her about things
00:02:30.28\00:02:33.45
that only he and she knew.
00:02:33.48\00:02:36.97
She said, I do not believe
what you told here tonight
00:02:37.00\00:02:40.87
because I have seen the
evidence with my own eyes.
00:02:40.90\00:02:47.43
I told that beautiful lady
00:02:47.46\00:02:49.34
that she was not
talking to her dead husband,
00:02:49.37\00:02:53.25
she was talking
to a deceiving demon.
00:02:53.28\00:02:59.21
And tonight our eyes are going
to be opened to another world.
00:02:59.24\00:03:05.23
Our eyes are going to be opened
00:03:05.26\00:03:08.23
to the discovery
of amazing truths.
00:03:08.26\00:03:14.48
Paul the
evangelist says in the Bible,
00:03:14.51\00:03:17.33
that "God will finish His work
00:03:17.36\00:03:18.85
and cut it short
in righteousness."
00:03:18.88\00:03:21.30
The Prophet Joel says,
"God will pour out His spirit
00:03:21.33\00:03:24.01
in the last days, and
signs and wonders will follow."
00:03:24.04\00:03:27.21
The Carter Report believes
that we are now in the end times
00:03:27.24\00:03:31.50
and His spirit
is moving mightily.
00:03:31.53\00:03:33.96
During the Port Moresby campaign
00:03:33.99\00:03:36.17
we testify that we saw
the power of God revealed.
00:03:36.20\00:03:40.07
God hungry souls
00:03:40.10\00:03:42.70
could not get enough
of the word of the Lord
00:03:42.73\00:03:45.45
as at creation the Spirit of God
00:03:45.48\00:03:48.19
moved upon the
face of the waters
00:03:48.22\00:03:50.46
and God brought
cosmos out of chaos.
00:03:50.49\00:03:54.03
Souls were recreated in
the image of the Creator.
00:03:54.06\00:03:57.72
Instead of hate there was love.
00:03:57.75\00:03:59.75
Instead of
despair there was hope.
00:03:59.78\00:04:01.81
Instead of sorrow there was joy.
00:04:01.84\00:04:04.32
And in the place of
death God gave life.
00:04:04.35\00:04:07.89
One night as
John Carter preached
00:04:07.92\00:04:10.09
on the person in
work at the Holy Spirit
00:04:10.12\00:04:12.14
the image of a white bird
was flashed on the screens.
00:04:12.17\00:04:15.70
That moment a great white bird
00:04:15.73\00:04:18.97
flew low over the
astonish congregation.
00:04:19.00\00:04:21.13
Cries of joy filled the
air as the audience recognized
00:04:21.16\00:04:24.74
that God had visited His people.
00:04:24.77\00:04:26.91
A mighty surge
of Pentecostal power
00:04:26.94\00:04:29.33
swept the
audience of 120,000 souls
00:04:29.36\00:04:33.07
and everyone
present felt the warm
00:04:33.10\00:04:35.75
comforting presence of God.
00:04:35.78\00:04:38.15
The Carter Report team

00:05:08.53\00:05:13.20
It is of vital importance
00:05:16.45\00:05:18.51
that we listen
to the voice of God
00:05:18.54\00:05:22.87
and not the
voice of evil spirits
00:05:22.90\00:05:26.46
who come in the form
of beautiful loved ones.
00:05:26.49\00:05:30.71
We're going to turn
in the Holy Scriptures
00:05:30.74\00:05:32.85
and I have here my copy,
my wonder copy of the NIV.
00:05:32.88\00:05:39.18
And I'm turning
to Isaiah 8:19, 20.
00:05:39.21\00:05:45.60
As we did in the last
meeting on the antichrist,
00:05:45.63\00:05:48.05
I'm going to talk rather slowly
00:05:48.08\00:05:51.21
because this is
fraught with so much.
00:05:51.24\00:05:54.76
This is fraught with
eternal consequences.
00:05:54.79\00:05:57.42
"When men tell you to
consult mediums and spiritists,"
00:05:57.45\00:06:01.19
and they do that here in
PNG "who whisper and mutter,
00:06:01.22\00:06:07.09
should not a people
inquire of their God?
00:06:07.12\00:06:11.30
Why consult the dead
on behalf of the living?
00:06:11.33\00:06:16.23
To the law and
to the testimony!"
00:06:16.26\00:06:18.15
That means the Bible.
00:06:18.18\00:06:20.03
"If they do not speak
according to this word,
00:06:20.06\00:06:23.59
they have no light of dawn."
00:06:23.62\00:06:26.47
The Bible says this.
00:06:26.50\00:06:28.56
When people come
along to you and they say,
00:06:28.59\00:06:32.42
I can bring
back a dead loved one
00:06:32.45\00:06:36.20
and the spirit of the
dead loved one will come back
00:06:36.23\00:06:40.30
and you can actually
talk to your dead loved one.
00:06:40.33\00:06:42.80
The Bible says, "Do
not go to the dead."
00:06:42.83\00:06:47.33
The Bible says, "Go to the
living word of the living God."
00:06:47.36\00:06:53.85
That is why when
we deal with subjects
00:06:53.88\00:06:55.81
here like antichrist in action,
00:06:55.84\00:06:59.60
dark deeds of
antichrist revealed,
00:06:59.63\00:07:02.09
what happens five
minutes after death.
00:07:02.12\00:07:04.64
I do not refer for my authority
to the teachings of my church
00:07:04.67\00:07:10.31
or any other church.
00:07:10.34\00:07:12.25
Our authority in these
meetings is the living word
00:07:12.28\00:07:16.51
of the living
God, the Holy Bible.
00:07:16.54\00:07:21.02
Now Jesus once had an
encounter with the devil
00:07:21.05\00:07:24.78
and you can read about
that in the Book of Matthew.
00:07:24.81\00:07:28.37
Matthew 4.
00:07:28.40\00:07:30.59
"Then Jesus was
led by the Spirit"
00:07:30.62\00:07:33.01
that means the holy
spirit "into the desert
00:07:33.04\00:07:35.92
to be tempted by the devil."
00:07:35.95\00:07:37.66
People say I don't
believe in the devil.
00:07:37.69\00:07:39.29
Well, Jesus did. You
don't know more than Jesus.
00:07:39.32\00:07:43.13
"To be tempted by the devil.
00:07:43.16\00:07:45.22
After fasting forty days
and forty nights, he was hungry.
00:07:45.25\00:07:49.92
The tempter
came to him and said,
00:07:49.95\00:07:51.64
'If you are the Son of God,
00:07:51.67\00:07:54.03
tell these
stones to become bread.'
00:07:54.06\00:07:57.76
Jesus answered, 'It is written,
00:07:57.79\00:08:03.43
Man does not
live on bread alone,
00:08:03.46\00:08:06.21
but on every word that
comes from the mouth of God.'"
00:08:06.24\00:08:11.60
When Lucifer a
beautiful creature,
00:08:11.63\00:08:15.24
if you saw Lucifer tonight
he would not look like a dragon.
00:08:15.27\00:08:21.10
We saw the dragon
that represented Rome,
00:08:21.13\00:08:23.95
but Lucifer would
not look like a dragon
00:08:23.98\00:08:27.77
he would look a handsome,
fine, wonderful person.
00:08:27.80\00:08:33.49
He would have a melodious voice.
00:08:33.52\00:08:37.18
He would even quote the
Bible when it suited him.
00:08:37.21\00:08:42.40
And perhaps he
would even heal the sick
00:08:42.43\00:08:46.44
because he has so much power.
00:08:46.47\00:08:49.57
Jesus said, "Don't
listen to the demons,
00:08:49.60\00:08:53.57
listen to the Bible.
00:08:53.60\00:08:55.60
It is written, Man
shall not live by bread alone,
00:08:55.63\00:09:03.25
but by every word that proceeds
out of the mouth of God."
00:09:03.28\00:09:08.69
And so tonight I take my stand
on the Bible the Word of God.
00:09:08.72\00:09:15.46
I would remind you tonight
and I think this last night
00:09:15.49\00:09:18.68
when I spoke about this,
"Every religion in the world
00:09:18.71\00:09:22.67
believes in the
immortality of the soul."
00:09:22.70\00:09:27.37
The ancient Egyptians,
the Babylonians, the Greeks,
00:09:27.40\00:09:31.99
The Romans, the
Muslims, the Hindus,
00:09:32.02\00:09:34.91
our beloved
Roman Catholic friends,
00:09:34.94\00:09:37.23
most Protestants believe in
the immortality of the soul.
00:09:37.26\00:09:40.92
Virtually, every religion
00:09:40.95\00:09:42.62
believes in the
immortality of the soul
00:09:42.65\00:09:45.22
with one notable exception
00:09:45.25\00:09:47.72
and that is the
religion of the Bible.
00:09:47.75\00:09:53.40
The Bible does
not teach the doctrine
00:09:53.43\00:09:55.70
of the immortality of the soul,
00:09:55.73\00:09:58.11
the Bible teaches the doctrine
of the resurrection of the dead
00:09:58.14\00:10:03.06
and the coming of Christ.
00:10:03.09\00:10:05.80
Now what we're going to do now,
00:10:05.83\00:10:08.46
we're going to
have a little summary
00:10:08.49\00:10:11.69
of some of the
material I presented last night.
00:10:11.72\00:10:15.63
I'm teaching this
tonight, I'm not preaching,
00:10:15.66\00:10:18.45
I'm just teaching
and I'm trying to make
00:10:18.48\00:10:21.32
the Word of God plain for you.
00:10:21.35\00:10:24.24
The first truth on the
state of the dead is this.
00:10:24.27\00:10:27.25
The dead know nothing.
00:10:27.28\00:10:30.86
And we've got a text
for that in the Bible.
00:10:30.89\00:10:33.79
The dead know nothing.
00:10:33.82\00:10:36.84
"For the living
know that they will die,"
00:10:36.87\00:10:39.30
what does the Bible say
"but the dead know nothing."
00:10:39.33\00:10:46.03
Some people tell me
that dead know everything.
00:10:46.06\00:10:49.18
Some people tell me
the dead are in hell
00:10:49.21\00:10:51.84
or in purgatory
or even in heaven.
00:10:51.87\00:10:55.20
Wherever they are if the
dead are alive and conscious,
00:10:55.23\00:10:59.93
the dead know a great deal
00:10:59.96\00:11:02.42
but the Bible says,
the Word of God says,
00:11:02.45\00:11:05.76
the dead know nothing.
00:11:05.79\00:11:08.83
The devil doesn't
want you to believe this.
00:11:08.86\00:11:11.17
He wants you to be deceived.
00:11:11.20\00:11:13.35
Truth number two,
God alone is immortal.
00:11:13.38\00:11:18.45
I do not have an immortal soul.
00:11:18.48\00:11:21.14
1 Timothy 6:14-16.
00:11:21.17\00:11:24.64
People say but I do
have an immortal soul.
00:11:24.67\00:11:27.64
Where did you get
that from, my friend?
00:11:27.67\00:11:29.86
Not from the Bible but
from the antichrist church.
00:11:29.89\00:11:33.52
Look at this, "To keep
this command without spot
00:11:33.55\00:11:37.84
or blame until the appearing
of our Lord Jesus Christ,
00:11:37.87\00:11:42.54
which God will bring
about in his own time--
00:11:42.57\00:11:46.73
God, the blessed and only Ruler,
00:11:46.76\00:11:49.13
the King of kings
and Lord of lords,
00:11:49.16\00:11:52.34
who alone is immortal."
00:11:52.37\00:11:57.87
Why don't people believe this,
00:11:57.90\00:12:00.52
it's because their
eyes have been closed
00:12:00.55\00:12:05.03
by the traditions of men
00:12:05.06\00:12:07.24
but tonight God
is opening our eyes
00:12:07.27\00:12:11.56
as the Spirit of God
comes and teaches us the truth.
00:12:11.59\00:12:16.39
The dead know
nothing, number two.
00:12:16.42\00:12:18.56
And God alone is immortal.
That is the Word of God.
00:12:18.59\00:12:24.23
The third truth is this,
00:12:24.26\00:12:26.92
the departed
saints are sleeping.
00:12:26.95\00:12:32.63
Let me say it
again, the departed saints,
00:12:32.66\00:12:35.81
your loved ones are
sleeping. They are unconscious.
00:12:35.84\00:12:41.30
I'm going to give you two texts,
00:12:41.33\00:12:42.70
one in Acts 7
and one in John 11.
00:12:42.73\00:12:47.39
And here is the first one.
00:12:47.42\00:12:50.90
This talks about the death
of one of the saints of God.
00:12:50.93\00:12:55.57
"While they were
stoning him, Stephen prayed,
00:12:55.60\00:12:58.87
'Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.'
00:12:58.90\00:13:03.44
Then he fell on his
knees and cried out,
00:13:03.47\00:13:05.75
'Lord, do not hold
this sin against them.'
00:13:05.78\00:13:08.33
When he had said this,"
he went straight to heaven.
00:13:08.36\00:13:13.59
Well it doesn't say that.
00:13:13.62\00:13:15.57
Then why do so
many people believe it?
00:13:15.60\00:13:17.36
When he said this
00:13:17.39\00:13:18.76
the Bible says "He fell asleep."
00:13:18.79\00:13:25.37
So the Bible teaches
that the saints of God
00:13:25.40\00:13:31.30
cannot help us
00:13:31.33\00:13:33.03
because they are
sleeping unconscious
00:13:33.06\00:13:37.14
awaiting the coming of
Jesus Christ, Hallelujah.
00:13:37.17\00:13:42.13
Now we're going
to read another text.
00:13:42.16\00:13:44.64
Gonna put up
another text. Here it is.
00:13:44.67\00:13:48.70
This is talking about
Jesus and his friend Lazarus.
00:13:48.73\00:13:52.79
We talked about this last night.
00:13:52.82\00:13:54.61
My friend,
believe what Jesus said.
00:13:54.64\00:13:59.35
"After He had said
this, He went on to tell them,
00:13:59.38\00:14:02.01
'Our friend
Lazarus has fallen asleep,
00:14:02.04\00:14:07.67
but I am going
there to wake him up.'
00:14:07.70\00:14:12.24
His disciples
replied, 'Lord, if he sleeps,
00:14:12.27\00:14:15.84
he will get better.'
00:14:15.87\00:14:18.73
Jesus had been
speaking of his death,
00:14:18.76\00:14:21.82
but his disciples
thought he meant natural sleep.
00:14:21.85\00:14:26.97
So then he told them
plainly, 'Lazarus is dead.'"
00:14:27.00\00:14:33.33
Listen to me, listen to me,
00:14:33.36\00:14:36.45
there you got Lazarus
coming out of the tomb.
00:14:36.48\00:14:39.19
Lazarus wasn't in
hell. He wasn't in purgatory.
00:14:39.22\00:14:42.87
You know why he
wasn't in purgatory?
00:14:42.90\00:14:44.86
There's no such place.
00:14:44.89\00:14:47.54
He wasn't in limbo,
there's no such place.
00:14:47.57\00:14:50.08
It's a tradition of the church.
00:14:50.11\00:14:53.02
And the Bible tells me
00:14:53.05\00:14:54.70
Jesus said, my
friend Lazarus is sleeping,
00:14:54.73\00:14:59.29
And then He
said, Lazarus is dead.
00:14:59.32\00:15:04.85
And so Lazarus
was not in heaven,
00:15:04.88\00:15:07.93
Lazarus was not in hell,
00:15:07.96\00:15:10.65
Lazarus was not in
purgatory or limbo.
00:15:10.68\00:15:14.30
Lazarus was sleeping
00:15:14.33\00:15:17.68
and he was
awaiting the resurrection
00:15:17.71\00:15:20.53
when Jesus would
come and raise him up.
00:15:20.56\00:15:23.78
Praise God.
00:15:23.81\00:15:25.18
Listen, want to say
this to every person tonight.
00:15:25.21\00:15:30.61
The Bible says, Saint Stephen,
00:15:30.64\00:15:35.52
he's not in
heaven. He's sleeping.
00:15:35.55\00:15:40.85
Saint Peter is not in
heaven, he's sleeping.
00:15:40.88\00:15:46.48
My friend, I do
not want a church
00:15:46.51\00:15:51.14
that is built upon Saint Peter
because Peter is a dead man.
00:15:51.17\00:15:57.43
I want a church that is built
00:15:57.46\00:16:00.22
upon the living
Jesus Christ, you see.
00:16:00.25\00:16:05.68
So Saint Peter and
I'm looking forward
00:16:05.71\00:16:10.25
one day to meeting
Peter at the feet of Jesus.
00:16:10.28\00:16:15.80
Saint Peter is sleeping.
Saint John is sleeping.
00:16:15.83\00:16:19.91
Saint Paul is
sleeping, they're not in heaven.
00:16:19.94\00:16:23.11
Saint Mary is sleeping.
00:16:23.14\00:16:26.86
Mary, the mother
of Jesus is sleeping,
00:16:26.89\00:16:31.38
therefore she cannot save us
because she is simply sleeping
00:16:31.41\00:16:37.63
awaiting the
coming of Christ, you see.
00:16:37.66\00:16:40.90
Now I'll give you a text.
00:16:40.93\00:16:43.41
1 Corinthians 15:3-6.
00:16:43.44\00:16:50.03
Can you see how
plain the Bible is?
00:16:50.06\00:16:52.73
1 Corinthians 15,
"For what I received
00:16:52.76\00:16:57.19
I passed on to you
as of first importance"
00:16:57.22\00:17:00.73
this is pretty important
"that Christ died for our sins
00:17:00.76\00:17:05.50
according to the
Scriptures, that He was buried,
00:17:05.53\00:17:09.62
that He was
raised on the third day
00:17:09.65\00:17:12.42
according to the Scriptures,
and that He appeared to Peter,
00:17:12.45\00:17:17.51
and then to the Twelve.
00:17:17.54\00:17:20.57
After that, He appeared
to more than five hundred
00:17:20.60\00:17:23.82
of the brothers
at the same time,"
00:17:23.85\00:17:25.84
they are the saints
"most of whom are still living,
00:17:25.87\00:17:30.15
though some" listen to
it "have fallen asleep."
00:17:30.18\00:17:37.89
Not all of the
saints had died at time.
00:17:37.92\00:17:42.38
Some were still
living, many were still living.
00:17:42.41\00:17:46.04
But the Bible says,
that some had fallen asleep.
00:17:46.07\00:17:52.71
So the Bible teaches
that the saints are sleeping,
00:17:52.74\00:17:57.36
that is why I
don't pray to the saints,
00:17:57.39\00:18:00.56
because the
saints cannot save me,
00:18:00.59\00:18:03.80
only Jesus Christ
my Lord can save me.
00:18:03.83\00:18:08.79
And so the saints
are sleeping in the grave
00:18:08.82\00:18:12.75
and they're
waiting their resurrection.
00:18:12.78\00:18:15.43
I tell
audiences around the world
00:18:15.46\00:18:17.91
people have to go
through mental gymnastics
00:18:17.94\00:18:22.06
to explain one of these texts.
00:18:22.09\00:18:25.04
You can't get away
from the Word of God.
00:18:25.07\00:18:28.43
The devil tonight doesn't
want you to understand this,
00:18:28.46\00:18:31.53
but Jesus wants us
to understand tonight
00:18:31.56\00:18:35.25
and Jesus wants us to be saved.
00:18:35.28\00:18:39.19
And here is the next truth.
00:18:39.22\00:18:40.97
David, the
patriarch is not in heaven.
00:18:41.00\00:18:45.70
People say, no he is in heaven.
00:18:45.73\00:18:47.77
I say, do you think
he's--yes he's in heaven.
00:18:47.80\00:18:50.96
David the great saint
in the Bible he must--
00:18:50.99\00:18:54.08
he is in heaven
that's what the church says.
00:18:54.11\00:18:56.83
But Acts 2:34, says
he is not in heaven.
00:18:56.86\00:19:04.39
"David" look at it
00:19:04.42\00:19:07.33
"did not ascend to heaven."
00:19:07.36\00:19:12.61
That's the Holy Spirit
speaking to us tonight.
00:19:12.64\00:19:16.99
Its no good praying to David,
00:19:17.02\00:19:19.10
it is no good praying
to Saint Peter or Mary
00:19:19.13\00:19:23.87
and its no good trying
to contact your loved ones
00:19:23.90\00:19:26.70
because the Bible says they are
in a state of unconsciousness.
00:19:26.73\00:19:33.05
And God's people are sleeping,
are waiting their resurrection
00:19:33.08\00:19:38.01
and the coming of Christ.
00:19:38.04\00:19:39.86
This is the Word of the Lord.
And here is the fifth truth.
00:19:39.89\00:19:47.13
Death is not our hope.
00:19:47.16\00:19:49.78
In the Bible, death is
called the last great enemy
00:19:49.81\00:19:54.64
that Jesus slays when
He comes the second time,
00:19:54.67\00:19:57.99
1 Corinthians 15.
00:19:58.02\00:19:59.39
The resurrection is our hope,
00:19:59.42\00:20:01.83
1 Thessalonians 4:13 and 16.
00:20:01.86\00:20:07.46
I'm giving you text after text
00:20:07.49\00:20:09.99
so that your faith may rest
not in the church, not in me,
00:20:10.02\00:20:14.70
but in the Word of God
in Jesus Christ. Here it is.
00:20:14.73\00:20:18.20
"Brothers, we do not
want you to be ignorant"
00:20:18.23\00:20:21.50
that's what Jesus would
say if He was here tonight.
00:20:21.53\00:20:24.57
I don't want you to be ignorant.
00:20:24.60\00:20:26.72
We do not want
you to be ignorant
00:20:26.75\00:20:28.21
"about those who fall asleep."
00:20:28.24\00:20:31.77
The people who die.
00:20:31.80\00:20:33.17
"or grieve like the rest of men,
00:20:33.20\00:20:35.08
who have no hope."
00:20:35.11\00:20:36.48
My friend, we got hope tonight
00:20:36.51\00:20:38.66
because "The Lord himself
will come down from the heaven,
00:20:38.69\00:20:41.38
with a loud command, with
the voice of the archangel
00:20:41.41\00:20:45.23
and with the
trumpet call of God,
00:20:45.26\00:20:48.28
and the dead in
Christ will rise first."
00:20:48.31\00:20:51.56
That is the Word of the Lord.
00:20:51.59\00:20:54.52
But the saints are sleeping
00:20:54.55\00:20:56.74
until the blessed
hope the coming of Jesus.
00:20:56.77\00:21:01.90
I'm just looking
forward to seeing my dad.
00:21:01.93\00:21:07.25
My dad was an
unbeliever almost all his life
00:21:07.28\00:21:10.96
and then towards the,
00:21:10.99\00:21:13.41
the end of his life
about 10 years before he died
00:21:13.44\00:21:16.25
my dad came to
one of my meetings
00:21:16.28\00:21:19.37
and thank you God, my
dad gave his life to Christ.
00:21:19.40\00:21:24.71
And I'm going to see my
dad. I'm going to see my mom.
00:21:24.74\00:21:29.30
They're going to be a young,
good looking, wonderful couple.
00:21:29.33\00:21:36.62
My dad was very
sick before he died
00:21:36.65\00:21:39.65
but my dad is
going to be running down
00:21:39.68\00:21:42.98
the streets of the New Jerusalem
00:21:43.01\00:21:45.54
and he's being--he will
be holding my mother's hand
00:21:45.57\00:21:49.62
and by the grace of
God I want to introduce
00:21:49.65\00:21:54.17
every one of you here
in PNG to my mom and dad.
00:21:54.20\00:21:58.44
I really do.
00:21:58.47\00:22:01.22
But I can't talk to
my mom or dad tonight
00:22:01.25\00:22:03.95
because they are sleeping.
00:22:03.98\00:22:05.75
But the devil wants you,
00:22:05.78\00:22:08.18
he wants me to be
deceived by an evil spirit.
00:22:08.21\00:22:13.11
The Bible says,
point number six.
00:22:13.14\00:22:16.57
"All who sleep in
death, will be resurrected."
00:22:16.60\00:22:19.52
Every person here you can walk
out of this meeting tonight.
00:22:19.55\00:22:23.18
I don't think you're going to--
00:22:23.21\00:22:24.58
but somebody could walk
out of this meeting tonight
00:22:24.61\00:22:27.14
and that person could
say, I don't care about God.
00:22:27.17\00:22:30.22
I'm not going to follow God.
00:22:30.25\00:22:31.94
I'm not going to
believe in Jesus Christ.
00:22:31.97\00:22:34.71
I'm not going to
believe in the Bible.
00:22:34.74\00:22:37.09
I'm going to go my own way
00:22:37.12\00:22:38.80
and I'm going to
shut that out of my mind.
00:22:38.83\00:22:40.91
My friend, you're still
going to be resurrected.
00:22:40.94\00:22:45.66
The day He's going to
come when every person here
00:22:45.69\00:22:49.50
is going to be
resurrected and stand before
00:22:49.53\00:22:53.71
the judgment
throne of Almighty God
00:22:53.74\00:22:57.39
so listen carefully
what you're hearing tonight,
00:22:57.42\00:23:01.27
because every
person here tonight
00:23:01.30\00:23:04.12
has a case pending at
the judgment bar of God.
00:23:04.15\00:23:09.68
All who sleep
will be resurrected.
00:23:09.71\00:23:13.08
Now we're going to
read the text. Here it is.
00:23:13.11\00:23:16.42
"I tell you the truth,"
00:23:16.45\00:23:17.92
oh, I want someone
to tell me the truth.
00:23:17.95\00:23:21.12
I don't want a
preacher lying to me.
00:23:21.15\00:23:23.71
I don't want
somebody deceiving me
00:23:23.74\00:23:25.76
and then I'll end up being lost.
00:23:25.79\00:23:28.36
"I tell you the
truth, a time is coming
00:23:28.39\00:23:31.88
and has now come
00:23:31.91\00:23:34.00
when the dead will hear
the voice of the Son of God
00:23:34.03\00:23:37.84
and those who hear will live.
00:23:37.87\00:23:41.69
For as the Father
has life in himself,
00:23:41.72\00:23:44.38
so he has granted the
Son to have life in himself."
00:23:44.41\00:23:49.72
"Do not be amazed at
this, for a time is coming
00:23:49.75\00:23:53.34
when all who are in their
graves will hear his voice
00:23:53.37\00:23:57.42
and come out" that include you.
00:23:57.45\00:24:00.82
And the Bible says,
00:24:00.85\00:24:02.22
"Those who have done
good will rise to live,
00:24:02.25\00:24:05.75
and those who have done
evil will rise to be condemned."
00:24:05.78\00:24:11.67
So I want to say
this to you today
00:24:11.70\00:24:13.97
in the name of God I say
to you sitting over there,
00:24:14.00\00:24:17.94
right over there in that stand,
00:24:17.97\00:24:19.76
I say to you sitting
over there on the bleachers.
00:24:19.79\00:24:22.23
I say to the person
00:24:22.26\00:24:24.10
who is a mile away
and you can hear my voice.
00:24:24.13\00:24:27.26
I say to the hundred
thousand or more people
00:24:27.29\00:24:30.94
that are jammed
here in this vast arena.
00:24:30.97\00:24:34.44
I want to say it to you.
00:24:34.47\00:24:36.11
I want you to hear it
tonight, Christ died for us.
00:24:36.14\00:24:40.43
He came down, He
died on the cross.
00:24:40.46\00:24:43.69
And the Bible wants us tonight
00:24:43.72\00:24:45.72
to come to Him
and believe in Him.
00:24:45.75\00:24:48.47
And when Jesus comes,
He wants to resurrect us
00:24:48.50\00:24:51.94
to the
resurrection of eternal life
00:24:51.97\00:24:54.34
and He wants to
take us home to glory.
00:24:54.37\00:24:56.53
Can you say,
amen. Please, Jesus.
00:24:56.56\00:25:00.37
Amen. Please, Jesus.
00:25:00.40\00:25:02.71
Please, Jesus, come soon
and take us home to glory.
00:25:02.74\00:25:08.31
Tonight we are
preaching and we are teaching
00:25:08.34\00:25:11.41
from the living
Word of the living God.
00:25:11.44\00:25:15.10
A mother was
explaining to her little boy
00:25:15.13\00:25:20.94
the subject of death.
00:25:20.97\00:25:23.37
Because this little
boy's dad had just died
00:25:23.40\00:25:27.22
a few months before
00:25:27.25\00:25:28.64
and the little boy
was broken hearted.
00:25:28.67\00:25:32.10
And that
Christian mother sat down
00:25:32.13\00:25:34.77
and she was crying
out of the sincerity
00:25:34.80\00:25:38.99
of her heart to
explain death to her boy.
00:25:39.02\00:25:44.39
And she said, you know,
son, we're all missing daddy.
00:25:44.42\00:25:52.25
But she said, I want
to tell you something.
00:25:52.28\00:25:56.12
You know, how you
loved to play outside
00:25:56.15\00:25:58.93
when its summer.
It's so cold in winter.
00:25:58.96\00:26:03.51
And when summer comes
00:26:03.54\00:26:04.91
you play all day
long out under the sun
00:26:04.94\00:26:08.96
and I've got to
go to the back door
00:26:08.99\00:26:11.08
and I've got to call
out, come on home son.
00:26:11.11\00:26:14.77
Come home son, its supper time.
00:26:14.80\00:26:18.96
And you would come
home and you would sit down
00:26:18.99\00:26:21.89
with mommy and
daddy at the table
00:26:21.92\00:26:25.50
and we would
have dinner together.
00:26:25.53\00:26:28.60
And sometimes you were so,
00:26:28.63\00:26:31.19
so tired that
you would go to sleep
00:26:31.22\00:26:34.79
when you're having a dinner
00:26:34.82\00:26:37.66
and your daddy would pick you up
00:26:37.69\00:26:40.34
and he carry
you into the bedroom
00:26:40.37\00:26:43.37
and he puts you
into your own bed
00:26:43.40\00:26:45.69
and he would undress you.
00:26:45.72\00:26:49.60
And you would know
nothing until the next morning
00:26:49.63\00:26:52.97
when the sun was
shining through the windows.
00:26:53.00\00:26:59.02
She said, that's
what it's like with death.
00:26:59.05\00:27:05.95
After the hot
summer of this world
00:27:05.98\00:27:08.55
and we become so
tired and God says,
00:27:08.58\00:27:15.76
the time has come
and we fall asleep
00:27:15.79\00:27:23.58
and God picks us
up in His great arms
00:27:23.61\00:27:27.56
and He takes us into
the bedroom and we sleep.
00:27:27.59\00:27:31.91
And we don't know anything
00:27:31.94\00:27:34.49
until the sun is
shining through the windows
00:27:34.52\00:27:39.52
and Jesus has come.
00:27:39.55\00:27:45.31
Death is a sleep
00:27:45.34\00:27:49.19
and the dead are unconscious.
00:27:49.22\00:27:53.59
Our loved ones are not in
pain. They are not in hell.
00:27:53.62\00:27:59.64
They are not in purgatory.
00:27:59.67\00:28:01.47
They are not in a
conscious existence.
00:28:01.50\00:28:05.67
They are sleeping
00:28:05.70\00:28:08.26
awaiting the
blessed resurrection
00:28:08.29\00:28:10.58
when Jesus comes.
00:28:10.61\00:28:13.58
Therefore... therefore
00:28:13.61\00:28:19.72
if the dead are unconscious,
00:28:19.75\00:28:24.07
who are the
spirits in spiritism?
00:28:24.10\00:28:27.11
Now I want you to pray.
00:28:27.14\00:28:32.82
"There is a world
of unseen spirits,
00:28:32.85\00:28:40.46
good and bad."
00:28:40.49\00:28:43.88
When I turn in my Holy Bible
00:28:43.91\00:28:47.50
to Revelation 12:7-9,
00:28:47.53\00:28:54.15
I read there of an unseen world
00:28:54.18\00:28:59.27
of good and bad spirits.
00:28:59.30\00:29:03.24
Revelation 12:7-9,
00:29:03.27\00:29:05.76
and we're going
to take it for you
00:29:05.79\00:29:08.27
because we have such a vast
audience of these giant screens.
00:29:08.30\00:29:13.08
"And there was war in
heaven." Can you believe it?
00:29:13.11\00:29:18.07
It was a war in heaven.
Somebody doesn't like you.
00:29:18.10\00:29:22.68
Somebody doesn't
want you to be saved.
00:29:22.71\00:29:25.36
Somebody wants you to be saved.
00:29:25.39\00:29:27.32
And there was war in heaven.
00:29:27.35\00:29:30.32
"Michael, Christ and his angels
fought against the dragon,"
00:29:30.35\00:29:34.96
that's the devil "and the dragon
and his angels fought back.
00:29:34.99\00:29:42.07
But he was not
strong enough," to face God
00:29:42.10\00:29:45.39
"and they lost
their place in heaven.
00:29:45.42\00:29:47.75
"There was a
tremendous war, listen.
00:29:47.78\00:29:50.94
"The great
dragon was hurled down--
00:29:50.97\00:29:52.98
that ancient
serpent called the devil,
00:29:53.01\00:29:55.72
or Satan, who leads
the whole world astray.
00:29:55.75\00:30:01.72
He was hurled to the
earth, and his angels with him."
00:30:01.75\00:30:08.98
I can show you in the Bible
that during this tremendous war,
00:30:09.01\00:30:15.54
the war of the universe,
00:30:15.57\00:30:20.39
there was a mighty
angel of tremendous beauty
00:30:20.42\00:30:26.06
and astounding
intellect and somehow in a way
00:30:26.09\00:30:32.21
that we cannot comprehend.
He became the great rebel.
00:30:32.24\00:30:38.48
He became proud.
00:30:38.51\00:30:40.70
He was filled
with anger and poison
00:30:40.73\00:30:44.57
because he was
jealous of Jesus Christ.
00:30:44.60\00:30:51.59
And the Bible says,
that this mighty angel
00:30:51.62\00:30:56.86
was successful in deceiving
00:30:56.89\00:31:00.76
one third of the
angels of heaven.
00:31:00.79\00:31:05.10
That means millions and
billons of mighty angels
00:31:05.13\00:31:11.78
went over to the
side of the devil
00:31:11.81\00:31:15.13
or to Lucifer and they
are, they are the demons
00:31:15.16\00:31:21.66
that we are
talking about tonight.
00:31:21.69\00:31:24.83
Are you listening to me?
00:31:24.86\00:31:26.88
There are two sides
and the war continues.
00:31:26.91\00:31:30.86
There is Christ and
there is antichrist.
00:31:30.89\00:31:34.67
There is Jesus
and there is Satan.
00:31:34.70\00:31:38.73
And in this meeting tonight
there is a tremendous war
00:31:38.76\00:31:43.61
going on in the
hearts of men and women,
00:31:43.64\00:31:47.80
but I want you to know tonight
00:31:47.83\00:31:49.75
that Jesus Christ
is a billion times
00:31:49.78\00:31:53.45
stronger than the devil
00:31:53.48\00:31:55.30
and Jesus is
winning this battle.
00:31:55.33\00:31:58.63
I want you to know this.
00:31:58.66\00:32:01.95
Evil angels are on a mission
to deceive and to destroy.
00:32:01.98\00:32:08.41
They're out to get you.
00:32:08.44\00:32:10.77
Second Thessalonians 2:9,
00:32:10.80\00:32:14.72
these evil
angels are on a mission
00:32:14.75\00:32:18.28
to deceive and to destroy.
00:32:18.31\00:32:21.32
And we're going
to read this text
00:32:21.35\00:32:23.05
and here it comes up
on the giant screens.
00:32:23.08\00:32:27.45
"The coming of the lawless
one" that's the antichrist"
00:32:27.48\00:32:33.03
will be in
accordance with the work
00:32:33.06\00:32:35.42
Satan displayed in all
kinds of counterfeit miracles,
00:32:35.45\00:32:41.99
signs and wonders."
00:32:42.02\00:32:45.74
This mighty angel
has the ability to do
00:32:45.77\00:32:50.41
mighty signs and wonders
00:32:50.44\00:32:53.26
and he can even deceive
millions and billions of people
00:32:53.29\00:32:58.82
unless they are
students of a Word of God.
00:32:58.85\00:33:03.13
Unless they are
standing on the Word of God
00:33:03.16\00:33:06.84
they will be deceived.
00:33:06.87\00:33:09.81
Listen, evil
angels have the power
00:33:09.84\00:33:13.34
to impersonate good people,
even your dead loved ones.
00:33:13.37\00:33:20.99
Evil angels have the power
to impersonate good people,
00:33:21.02\00:33:25.10
even your dead loved
ones who know nothing.
00:33:25.13\00:33:28.97
Second Corinthians
11:14, I want you to see this.
00:33:29.00\00:33:35.82
"And no wonder,
for Satan himself
00:33:35.85\00:33:39.01
masquerades as
an angel of light."
00:33:39.04\00:33:42.72
If you could see Satan tonight,
00:33:42.75\00:33:45.09
he is not a dragon,
he is not a monster,
00:33:45.12\00:33:48.71
he would look like a
beautiful angel of light.
00:33:48.74\00:33:52.43
And these demons, these angels
00:33:52.46\00:33:55.47
who turned against God
can impersonate the dead
00:33:55.50\00:33:59.61
and they can make it appear
00:33:59.64\00:34:01.61
as though they
are your loved ones
00:34:01.64\00:34:04.10
and they can bring
you convincing messages
00:34:04.13\00:34:06.70
because they know
everything about you.
00:34:06.73\00:34:09.85
But I want you tonight
to stand on the Word of God
00:34:09.88\00:34:13.62
and I want you to
turn your back on Lucifer
00:34:13.65\00:34:16.42
and I want you to turn
your back on these evil angels
00:34:16.45\00:34:19.55
and I want you to
cry out Jesus save me.
00:34:19.58\00:34:22.90
I'm going to believe in Jesus
00:34:22.93\00:34:25.40
and I'm going to trust
in Jesus tonight, amen.
00:34:25.43\00:34:28.40
Can you say that?
00:34:28.43\00:34:31.49
Listen, millions are deceived
00:34:31.52\00:34:34.94
because they
believe that dead are alive.
00:34:34.97\00:34:39.95
And when I talk on this
subject the devil hates it.
00:34:39.98\00:34:45.25
Before I ever
talk on this subject
00:34:45.28\00:34:47.37
I have opposition.
00:34:47.40\00:34:49.47
I have problems that arise.
00:34:49.50\00:34:56.89
Sometimes the opposition
00:34:56.92\00:34:59.41
almost pushes me
down into the ground
00:34:59.44\00:35:02.85
and I've got to
say, Lord, help me.
00:35:02.88\00:35:07.55
And the devil comes
and he tries to stop me
00:35:07.58\00:35:11.52
preaching this message.
00:35:11.55\00:35:14.98
But I'm determined
tonight to preach the truth,
00:35:15.01\00:35:18.08
because God loves
you and I love you.
00:35:18.11\00:35:21.61
And I want to see you
saved in the Kingdom of God
00:35:21.64\00:35:25.45
and so pray with me tonight
00:35:25.48\00:35:27.65
that the power of
Satan is going to be broken
00:35:27.68\00:35:30.30
in the lives of
every person here tonight.
00:35:30.33\00:35:32.11
Oh, Jesus, please.
00:35:32.14\00:35:35.05
Now we're going to show you
00:35:35.08\00:35:37.07
how the king of Israel
was deceived by a demon.
00:35:37.10\00:35:41.06
Are you ready for this?
00:35:41.09\00:35:43.28
We're going to come to a text.
00:35:43.31\00:35:45.76
We're told here it is.
00:35:45.79\00:35:47.40
This is 1 Samuel
28:3-16 is the long passage
00:35:47.43\00:35:52.11
and I'm going to
read it real slow,
00:35:52.14\00:35:54.33
so you don't miss it. All right.
00:35:54.36\00:35:58.48
Now Samuel was
what? He was dead.
00:35:58.51\00:36:01.75
And if he was dead
how much did he know?
00:36:01.78\00:36:05.31
Zero. He didn't know a thing.
00:36:05.34\00:36:07.26
Samuel was sleeping,
00:36:07.29\00:36:09.32
awaiting the
resurrection. He still is.
00:36:09.35\00:36:12.15
"Now Samuel was dead"
He was a prophet to God,
00:36:12.18\00:36:14.83
had to be, had on one occasion.
00:36:14.86\00:36:18.03
"and all Israel
had mourned for him
00:36:18.06\00:36:20.12
and buried him in
his own town of Ramah.
00:36:20.15\00:36:24.07
Saul had expelled the mediums
and spiritists from the land."
00:36:24.10\00:36:27.54
Because God said,
get them out of the land
00:36:27.57\00:36:30.18
because that's devil worship.
00:36:30.21\00:36:32.30
If a person
believes in the spirits
00:36:32.33\00:36:34.74
he's really
worshiping the devil.
00:36:34.77\00:36:37.46
"The Philistines
assembled and came
00:36:37.49\00:36:39.63
and set up camp at Shunem,
00:36:39.66\00:36:41.86
while Saul
gathered all Israelites
00:36:41.89\00:36:44.29
and set up camp at Gilboa."
They're gonna have a big fight.
00:36:44.32\00:36:48.68
"When Saul saw
the Philistine army,
00:36:48.71\00:36:51.18
he was afraid,
terror filled his heart."
00:36:51.21\00:36:53.85
No wonder he turned from God.
00:36:53.88\00:36:56.23
"He inquired of the Lord,
but the Lord did not answer him
00:36:56.26\00:36:58.99
by dreams or Urim or prophets."
00:36:59.02\00:37:01.61
My friend, we need to obey
God and not turn away from God.
00:37:01.64\00:37:05.40
"Saul then said
to his attendants,
00:37:05.43\00:37:08.03
'Find me a woman
who is a medium,"
00:37:08.06\00:37:09.69
and you can find
them here in Port Moresby.
00:37:09.72\00:37:12.74
You can find them plenty of them
00:37:12.77\00:37:14.17
in Papua New Guinea.
00:37:14.20\00:37:15.93
Find me a woman or
a man who is a medium,
00:37:15.96\00:37:18.84
so I may go and inquire of her.'
00:37:18.87\00:37:21.46
'There is one in
Endor,' they said."
00:37:21.49\00:37:23.28
She's called the witch of Endor.
00:37:23.31\00:37:25.38
"So Saul disguised himself,
putting on other clothes,
00:37:25.41\00:37:28.70
and at night he and
two men went to the woman.
00:37:28.73\00:37:31.83
'Consult a spirit
for me,' he said.''
00:37:31.86\00:37:34.60
This was the greatest
sin he could ever have done.
00:37:34.63\00:37:37.66
"And bring up for
me the one I name.'
00:37:37.69\00:37:41.21
But the woman said to him,
00:37:41.24\00:37:42.73
'Surely you know
what Saul has done.''
00:37:42.76\00:37:44.64
The king of Israel.
00:37:44.67\00:37:46.16
"He has cut off the mediums
and spiritists from the land.'"
00:37:46.19\00:37:49.36
Because they are of the devil.
00:37:49.39\00:37:52.39
"Why have you set
a trap for my life
00:37:52.42\00:37:54.14
to bring about my death?"
00:37:54.17\00:37:55.90
That's what the
woman says to the king
00:37:55.93\00:37:58.13
but she doesn't
know he's the king.
00:37:58.16\00:38:00.44
"Saul swore to her by the Lord,
00:38:00.47\00:38:03.12
'As surely as the Lord lives,
00:38:03.15\00:38:04.59
you will not be
punished for this.'
00:38:04.62\00:38:07.40
Then the woman asked,
'Whom shall I bring up for you?'
00:38:07.43\00:38:11.99
'Bring up Samuel,' he said."
So now he's consulting the dead.
00:38:12.02\00:38:18.76
Notice what happens.
00:38:18.79\00:38:20.16
"When the woman saw Samuel,
00:38:20.19\00:38:22.40
she cried out at the top
of her voice and said to Saul,
00:38:22.43\00:38:25.30
'Why have you deceived me?
00:38:25.33\00:38:27.50
You are Saul!''
00:38:27.53\00:38:29.30
Notice what it says.
00:38:33.46\00:38:34.83
"The king said to
her, 'Don't be afraid.
00:38:34.86\00:38:39.26
What did you see?'"
00:38:39.29\00:38:40.66
apparently he never
saw it at this time.
00:38:40.69\00:38:42.97
"The woman said, 'I saw a spirit
00:38:43.00\00:38:48.61
coming up out of the ground.'
00:38:48.64\00:38:55.26
'What does he
look like?' he asked.
00:38:55.29\00:38:59.22
'An old man wearing a
robe is coming up,' she said.
00:38:59.25\00:39:05.19
Then Saul knew it was Samuel,
00:39:05.22\00:39:08.87
and he bowed down
and prostrated himself
00:39:08.90\00:39:11.64
with his face to the ground.
00:39:11.67\00:39:15.75
Samuel said to Saul,
00:39:15.78\00:39:19.08
'Why have you
disturbed me by bringing me up?'
00:39:19.11\00:39:24.23
'I am in great
distress,' Saul said.
00:39:24.26\00:39:28.03
'The Philistines
are fighting against me,
00:39:28.06\00:39:30.64
and God has turned away from me.
00:39:30.67\00:39:33.23
He no longer answers me,
either by prophets or by dreams.
00:39:33.26\00:39:38.67
So I have called on
you to tell me what to do.'
00:39:38.70\00:39:42.24
Samuel said, 'Why
do you consult me,
00:39:42.27\00:39:46.98
now that the Lord
has turned away from you
00:39:47.01\00:39:52.18
and become your enemy?'"
00:39:52.21\00:39:56.14
Listen, I'll tell you
why it wasn't the prophet.
00:39:56.17\00:40:02.79
If a person supposed to
go to heaven when he dies,
00:40:02.82\00:40:06.62
the spirit would have
come down from heaven.
00:40:06.65\00:40:09.76
But this thing came
up out of the ground.
00:40:09.79\00:40:14.34
You know why it came
up out of the ground?
00:40:14.37\00:40:18.63
It wasn't the
prophet, it was a demon.
00:40:18.66\00:40:24.43
And listen to me
carefully. Everybody listening?
00:40:24.46\00:40:29.14
Whenever I
preach on this subject,
00:40:29.17\00:40:32.12
the demon start
to stir the hearts
00:40:32.15\00:40:36.33
to their followers.
00:40:36.36\00:40:40.49
Listen to me.
00:40:40.52\00:40:42.96
This thing that
came up out of the ground
00:40:42.99\00:40:49.90
and drove the power of death
00:40:49.93\00:40:53.66
into the heart of the
king was not the dead prophet
00:40:53.69\00:40:58.41
but a deceiving spirit.
00:40:58.44\00:41:04.21
Look at me.
00:41:04.24\00:41:06.93
If here you go along
to consult a spiritist
00:41:06.96\00:41:12.58
and he brings up a loved one.
00:41:12.61\00:41:15.67
That loved one
starts to talk to you
00:41:15.70\00:41:17.83
and tells you intimate details
00:41:17.86\00:41:21.45
you be tempted to say
it must be my loved one
00:41:21.48\00:41:24.93
because only my loved
one who could know this.
00:41:24.96\00:41:28.04
But I'm here to tell you tonight
00:41:28.07\00:41:29.84
the power of the demons is such
00:41:29.87\00:41:32.97
that they can even
impersonate our loved ones
00:41:33.00\00:41:36.88
and therefore we must
take our stand tonight
00:41:36.91\00:41:41.29
not on tradition but
on the Holy Word of God
00:41:41.32\00:41:45.84
and we must
cling to Jesus Christ
00:41:45.87\00:41:48.68
and we must turn from the demons
00:41:48.71\00:41:51.68
and the evil
spirits and from the occult
00:41:51.71\00:41:54.80
and we must believe in
Christ and Christ alone.
00:41:54.83\00:41:59.61
Listen, listen.
00:41:59.64\00:42:02.22
The power of
evil deceiving spirits
00:42:02.25\00:42:05.36
is manifested in many ways.
00:42:05.39\00:42:07.44
Let me tell you some.
00:42:07.47\00:42:09.77
The ascended masters--
00:42:09.80\00:42:11.40
I was running a series
of meetings in Australia
00:42:11.43\00:42:14.33
in the great city of Melbourne.
00:42:14.36\00:42:17.87
Some people came along
00:42:17.90\00:42:19.27
and they said we
want you to join us.
00:42:19.30\00:42:22.20
I said what do you mean?
00:42:22.23\00:42:23.60
They said, the masters,
some of the great people
00:42:23.63\00:42:27.94
who ever lived, who have died
00:42:27.97\00:42:30.68
comeback and they talk to us.
00:42:30.71\00:42:34.53
And now we can get
outside of our bodies
00:42:34.56\00:42:38.58
and we can travel
around the countryside
00:42:38.61\00:42:41.63
and one night we
are planning to come
00:42:41.66\00:42:44.34
and visit you as spirit beings.
00:42:44.37\00:42:47.29
I said no, you won't
because I belong to Jesus.
00:42:47.32\00:42:51.26
And they said, we
want you to join us.
00:42:51.29\00:42:54.07
I said, I'm not joining
you because I have joined Jesus
00:42:54.10\00:42:59.80
and I'm holding on to the
Bible, the ascended masters.
00:42:59.83\00:43:04.81
Then there is incubus
00:43:04.84\00:43:08.99
and that is when
a demon materializes
00:43:09.02\00:43:13.68
and has intimate
relationships with a woman.
00:43:13.71\00:43:17.86
You say, no. Yes, it happens.
00:43:17.89\00:43:21.96
Then there is channeling
00:43:21.99\00:43:23.78
and the new age and
the gods of the heathen
00:43:23.81\00:43:30.55
and the gods of the
pagans and the images
00:43:30.58\00:43:38.51
and in parts of the world
00:43:38.54\00:43:41.92
they even worship
the dead ancestors
00:43:41.95\00:43:45.56
and they keep skulls
and the skulls talk to them.
00:43:45.59\00:43:50.79
And they say this is our God.
00:43:50.82\00:43:54.19
Yes it is, it is the devil.
00:43:54.22\00:43:58.83
And there are some countries
00:43:58.86\00:44:00.55
that are completely
infested with demonism.
00:44:00.58\00:44:05.99
I was in a
country not very long ago
00:44:06.02\00:44:08.41
when my dear
friend Pastor Hawker and I
00:44:08.44\00:44:11.08
went to a great temple
00:44:11.11\00:44:15.44
and the priest
of the temple said
00:44:15.47\00:44:17.71
when I strike the gong
the demons are going to come
00:44:17.74\00:44:23.15
and we worship those Gods.
00:44:23.18\00:44:26.59
He said, come in.
00:44:26.62\00:44:27.99
We said we will not
step into your place
00:44:28.02\00:44:31.43
because we worship Christ.
00:44:31.46\00:44:34.37
Now, as we stood
outside he struck the gong
00:44:34.40\00:44:39.56
and immediately the hair on
the back of my neck stood up
00:44:39.59\00:44:44.56
and I was conscious
of an evil presence.
00:44:44.59\00:44:48.61
The demons are real
and there are demons
00:44:48.64\00:44:52.69
that are ruling in PNG, in
parts of this great country.
00:44:52.72\00:44:57.98
And you and I tonight must say
00:44:58.01\00:45:00.48
that we're
going to follow Christ
00:45:00.51\00:45:02.34
and we're going
to follow the Bible
00:45:02.37\00:45:04.32
and we're going
to turn from demonism
00:45:04.35\00:45:07.26
and the worship of our ancestors
as they do in some countries.
00:45:07.29\00:45:14.57
Then people pray to the dead,
00:45:14.60\00:45:19.08
spiritism praying to the dead
and people pray for the dead.
00:45:19.11\00:45:25.56
My friend, I do
not pray for my father.
00:45:25.59\00:45:32.03
I do not pray for my mother.
00:45:32.06\00:45:36.05
I've had people come to me
and they've offered me money
00:45:36.08\00:45:38.55
if I'll pray for their
loved ones I tell them this.
00:45:38.58\00:45:44.01
Once a person has died
his fate is eternally sealed.
00:45:44.04\00:45:50.97
Therefore we do
not pray for the dead
00:45:51.00\00:45:53.98
because they are
safe in the hands of God.
00:45:54.01\00:45:57.56
We pray for the living.
00:45:57.59\00:46:00.50
Therefore my friend
tonight we pray for the living,
00:46:00.53\00:46:04.50
we pray for you, but we
do not pray for the dead
00:46:04.53\00:46:07.61
and we do not
pray with the dead.
00:46:07.64\00:46:09.93
This is a form of demonism.
00:46:09.96\00:46:13.29
Then south of the border in
the United States of America
00:46:13.32\00:46:17.27
a couple of hundred
miles from where I live,
00:46:17.30\00:46:20.00
the people there
go to the cemeteries
00:46:20.03\00:46:23.56
on the night of the dead
00:46:23.59\00:46:25.58
and Halloween which
is a pagan satanic cult
00:46:25.61\00:46:31.38
and they go there
00:46:31.41\00:46:32.78
and they take
food and they take wine
00:46:32.81\00:46:36.46
and they pray to the
dead. And the devil laughs.
00:46:36.49\00:46:43.32
Then there is astrology
where people consult the stars.
00:46:43.35\00:46:49.71
I'm going to read you a
text in Isaiah 47:13 and 14.
00:46:49.74\00:46:55.54
Going to put it
up on the screen,
00:46:55.57\00:46:57.63
because in America, Australia,
00:46:57.66\00:47:00.70
millions of
people consult the stars
00:47:00.73\00:47:03.87
because of their
ignorance of the Word of God,
00:47:03.90\00:47:06.80
because they are
deceived by demons. Listen.
00:47:06.83\00:47:11.44
"All the counsel you have
received has only worn you out!
00:47:11.47\00:47:16.02
Let your
astrologers come forward,
00:47:16.05\00:47:19.28
those stargazers who make
predictions month by month,
00:47:19.31\00:47:24.10
let them save you from
what is coming upon you."
00:47:24.13\00:47:27.03
Isaiah says.
00:47:27.06\00:47:28.62
"Surely they are like stubble,
the fire will burn them up."
00:47:28.65\00:47:32.73
The fire is going to
burn up the astrologers
00:47:32.76\00:47:35.57
and those who
practice astrology.
00:47:35.60\00:47:37.82
"They cannot
even save themselves
00:47:37.85\00:47:40.92
from the power of the flame.
00:47:40.95\00:47:47.85
Here are no
coals to warm anyone,
00:47:47.88\00:47:50.36
here is no fire to sit by."
00:47:50.39\00:47:55.34
Would you like to know why
millions of people do this?
00:47:55.37\00:47:58.85
It is because they do
not follow the Word of God,
00:47:58.88\00:48:03.21
they follow the
teachings of men.
00:48:03.24\00:48:06.62
They're not aware of the fact
that there is a great battle
00:48:06.65\00:48:10.58
going on between
Christ and Satan.
00:48:10.61\00:48:13.94
And Satan doesn't want
you tonight to get baptized.
00:48:13.97\00:48:17.58
There are people here
who ought to be baptized.
00:48:17.61\00:48:20.18
We're going to have a
baptism in a week's time.
00:48:20.21\00:48:24.51
And Satan doesn't want you
to make a decision for Christ.
00:48:24.54\00:48:27.94
He doesn't want
you to be baptized.
00:48:27.97\00:48:30.38
He doesn't want you to give
your heart completely to Him.
00:48:30.41\00:48:38.29
But I want you to know
tonight that our God is alive.
00:48:38.32\00:48:44.33
And there's another
text I'm going to put up.
00:48:44.36\00:48:48.36
Here it is. Here
it is, Deuteronomy.
00:48:48.39\00:48:52.71
Everything here
is from the Bible
00:48:52.74\00:48:54.92
and I'm so glad that I'm talking
00:48:54.95\00:48:56.71
to a super intelligent audience.
00:48:56.74\00:49:00.14
We've got university professors.
We've got college students.
00:49:00.17\00:49:04.09
We've got housewives.
00:49:04.12\00:49:05.56
We've got doctors.
We have politicians.
00:49:05.59\00:49:09.23
We've members of the government.
00:49:09.26\00:49:10.93
We've ambassadors.
00:49:10.96\00:49:12.45
We have the best audience
in the world here tonight.
00:49:12.48\00:49:15.02
Now look at this
text, Deuteronomy 18.
00:49:15.05\00:49:20.26
"When you come into the land
00:49:20.29\00:49:21.66
which the Lord
your God is giving you,
00:49:21.69\00:49:24.47
you shall not learn to follow
00:49:24.50\00:49:26.30
the abominations
of those nations.
00:49:26.33\00:49:29.58
They shall not
be found among you
00:49:29.61\00:49:32.84
anyone who makes His son
00:49:32.87\00:49:35.47
or His daughters
pass through the fire
00:49:35.50\00:49:38.87
an ancient occult practice,
00:49:38.90\00:49:41.94
or one who practices
witchcraft, or a soothsayer,
00:49:41.97\00:49:49.62
or one who interprets omens,
00:49:49.65\00:49:52.98
or a sorcerer, or
one who conjures spells
00:49:53.01\00:50:00.11
or a medium, or a spiritist,
00:50:00.14\00:50:05.64
or one who calls up the dead.
00:50:05.67\00:50:13.57
For all who do these things
00:50:13.60\00:50:16.21
are an abomination to the Lord."
00:50:16.24\00:50:23.39
Don't you know tonight
00:50:27.17\00:50:33.43
that God has
brought you to this meeting
00:50:33.46\00:50:38.33
because He loves you
00:50:38.36\00:50:41.42
and He wants you to
be saved in His Kingdom?
00:50:41.45\00:50:46.38
He loves you, He
loves you, He loves you.
00:50:46.41\00:50:52.40
But there's
another power tonight
00:50:52.43\00:50:54.14
who wants to bring you
down to hell with himself.
00:50:54.17\00:50:58.55
His name is Lucifer.
00:50:58.58\00:51:00.95
He's the archenemy of Christ
00:51:00.98\00:51:04.08
and the
archenemy of men and women.
00:51:04.11\00:51:08.38
He wants you.
00:51:08.41\00:51:10.03
The Christ died for you.
00:51:14.03\00:51:15.40
Some years ago I
was visiting a lady
00:51:20.23\00:51:24.00
in the city of
Gosford, north of Sydney.
00:51:24.03\00:51:28.75
That lady had once
known the truth of the Bible.
00:51:28.78\00:51:31.28
She had once been a
Christian. Listen carefully.
00:51:31.31\00:51:36.43
Nobody is laughing
about this tonight.
00:51:36.46\00:51:41.00
And she came to my meetings
00:51:41.03\00:51:42.40
and she said I want
you to come to my home
00:51:42.43\00:51:44.23
because I'm in deep trouble.
00:51:44.26\00:51:47.40
So a friend of
my Dr. John Hamann
00:51:47.43\00:51:49.27
who had been up in
Malaysia where they have demons,
00:51:49.30\00:51:52.73
very plain there in the temples.
00:51:52.76\00:51:55.61
John and I went to
her home in the evening.
00:51:55.64\00:51:59.19
The children were frightened
and they were cowering
00:51:59.22\00:52:02.27
like little
rabbits in the living room.
00:52:02.30\00:52:06.04
I sat down with this women,
I said how can I help you?
00:52:06.07\00:52:09.20
She said, you see
the curtain railings.
00:52:09.23\00:52:12.94
Yes, I see them.
00:52:12.97\00:52:14.37
You notice how they've
got like a spear on the end.
00:52:14.40\00:52:16.48
Yes, I know.
00:52:16.51\00:52:18.44
Well, said, at night time
they come out by themselves
00:52:18.47\00:52:21.71
and they come around after
me and try to spear me to death.
00:52:21.74\00:52:26.03
I said, what do you mean?
00:52:26.06\00:52:27.85
She said, in the name of
God I used to be a Christian.
00:52:27.88\00:52:31.79
I turned away.
00:52:31.82\00:52:33.91
And then I got into
the occult and I went along
00:52:33.94\00:52:37.46
and I listen to mediums
and I consulted the dead.
00:52:37.49\00:52:45.38
Then she said, at night
time when I get into bed--
00:52:45.41\00:52:50.53
this woman was divorced.
00:52:50.56\00:52:52.48
Didn't have her husband.
00:52:52.51\00:52:53.88
She said, when I get into bed
00:52:53.91\00:52:56.80
often a man appears
00:52:56.83\00:53:01.59
and tries to
get into bed with me
00:53:01.62\00:53:04.54
and he grabs hold
of me by the throat.
00:53:04.57\00:53:11.38
And she said, I scream
out. She said, I'm terrified.
00:53:11.41\00:53:17.85
What shall I do?
00:53:17.88\00:53:20.21
I said, let's get
down on our knees.
00:53:20.24\00:53:23.31
Dr. John Hamann and I
got down on our knees.
00:53:23.34\00:53:26.53
I got my Bible, I
started to read the Bible
00:53:26.56\00:53:29.87
and I started to pray.
00:53:29.90\00:53:31.35
But as I prayed she
went into like a coma.
00:53:31.38\00:53:36.06
She went into a trans.
00:53:36.09\00:53:37.86
She couldn't hear me
00:53:37.89\00:53:39.37
because the spirits
were present in the room
00:53:39.40\00:53:43.40
and she had
given herself to them.
00:53:43.43\00:53:46.71
Don't laugh about this.
00:53:46.74\00:53:50.79
John Hamann said to me
later, when I went to that room,
00:53:50.82\00:53:57.82
the hair on my neck
stood up, stuck straight up.
00:53:57.85\00:54:01.30
I said, mine too.
00:54:01.33\00:54:03.74
I said, I had a sense
00:54:03.77\00:54:05.14
of the presence
of something evil.
00:54:05.17\00:54:07.60
My friend, I know
there is a living God,
00:54:07.63\00:54:11.52
I know there is a living devil
00:54:11.55\00:54:14.64
and I know that
there is a war going on.
00:54:14.67\00:54:21.68
We prayed for this woman.
00:54:21.71\00:54:23.08
We prayed for her, we went back.
00:54:23.11\00:54:28.72
I moved away.
00:54:28.75\00:54:30.91
I prayed God that she
gave herself to Christ
00:54:30.94\00:54:38.06
because only Christ can save us.
00:54:38.09\00:54:40.80
I want you to know if
there's somebody here tonight
00:54:40.83\00:54:43.56
and you're
playing with the devil.
00:54:43.59\00:54:45.22
No, the devil is
playing with you.
00:54:45.25\00:54:49.93
That if you throw
yourself into the hands of God
00:54:49.96\00:54:53.48
and believe the
truths of the Bible
00:54:53.51\00:54:55.52
that the dead know nothing.
00:54:55.55\00:54:57.52
And if you believe that
Jesus is greater than the devil
00:54:57.55\00:55:00.78
and if you cling to
Him you will be saved
00:55:00.81\00:55:03.66
and the devil will be
cast out of your life.
00:55:03.69\00:55:06.08
Can you raise your
hands tonight to say?
00:55:11.42\00:55:15.34
In the great controversy
between Christ and Satan
00:55:15.37\00:55:18.71
here in PNG tonight I choose
to be on the side of Christ.
00:55:18.74\00:55:25.91
Can you raise
your hands tonight?
00:55:25.94\00:55:28.67
Can you say, everybody
back as far as we can see,
00:55:28.70\00:55:34.03
you folks over
there on the hill,
00:55:34.06\00:55:36.28
those of you
outside the stadium,
00:55:36.31\00:55:38.57
so many of you.
00:55:38.60\00:55:39.97
How many will raise
their hand and say tonight,
00:55:40.00\00:55:42.94
I'm choosing the
Lord Jesus Christ.
00:55:42.97\00:55:46.46
Let us pray.
Let's close our eyes.
00:55:46.49\00:55:49.92
Keep your hands up.
00:55:49.95\00:55:52.07
Tonight our Father we've
had two tremendous meetings,
00:55:52.10\00:55:56.97
the antichrist, the
Lord open up their eyes.
00:55:57.00\00:56:00.88
Now we've had a meeting
that exposes the devil himself
00:56:00.91\00:56:06.08
and we know that devil today
is very active in New York City
00:56:06.11\00:56:10.75
and Los Angeles
and Port Moresby.
00:56:10.78\00:56:15.78
With this country
like many other places
00:56:15.81\00:56:18.40
has had a history of spiritism,
00:56:18.43\00:56:22.64
where many people even
pray to their dead ancestors.
00:56:22.67\00:56:26.36
But tonight Lord, we're
not choosing dead people,
00:56:26.39\00:56:33.22
we're choosing a living Jesus.
00:56:33.25\00:56:36.71
We're raising our hands tonight
00:56:36.74\00:56:38.57
because Lord we're
saying come into our hearts.
00:56:38.60\00:56:44.88
