Some of the largest crowds,
in the history of Christianity
00:00:01.40\00:00:03.97
attended "The Carter Report"
00:00:04.00\00:00:05.74
in the Sir John Guise Stadium,
Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.
00:00:05.77\00:00:10.12
Who were these people?
00:00:10.15\00:00:11.53
Well, they were
earnest seekers for truth,
00:00:11.56\00:00:14.22
with hearts strangely
warmed by the love of God.
00:00:14.25\00:00:18.16
They came hungry for God
and they listened to His word
00:00:18.19\00:00:21.76
with a holy awe, mingled
with a divine excitement.
00:00:21.79\00:00:26.13
When the invitation to
accept Christ as Lord and Savior
00:00:26.16\00:00:28.82
was given,
thousands surged forward.
00:00:28.85\00:00:32.25
The fervency and devotion
of these seekers displayed
00:00:32.28\00:00:35.35
the miracle-working power of
the Holy Spirit in their lives.
00:00:35.38\00:00:39.72
You are now invited to
join this mighty congregation
00:00:39.75\00:00:43.15
as Pastor John Carter
forthrightly proclaims a message
00:00:43.18\00:00:46.59
"Hot from the heart of God."
00:00:46.62\00:00:48.68
Welcome to "The Carter Report"
00:00:48.71\00:00:50.72
in the Sir John
Guise National Stadium,
00:00:50.75\00:00:53.33
Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.
00:00:53.36\00:00:55.83
Through the valley of the shadow
00:01:30.10\00:01:34.56
To the mountains of His faith
00:01:34.59\00:01:39.37
The shepherd boy
of Judah loved to sing
00:01:39.40\00:01:45.28
In his words of adoration
00:01:48.10\00:01:52.64
And his simple songs of praise
00:01:52.67\00:01:57.50
He glorified Jehovah as his King
00:01:57.53\00:02:04.91
A giant slayer
00:02:07.67\00:02:11.95
a psalm sayer
00:02:11.98\00:02:16.06
For the God of Jacob set apart
00:02:16.09\00:02:22.47
A joy bringer a psalm singer
00:02:25.62\00:02:33.62
A man after God's own heart
00:02:33.65\00:02:40.36
The boy became a ruler
00:02:47.13\00:02:51.63
Anointed for the throne
00:02:51.66\00:02:56.07
And though he sinned
00:02:56.10\00:02:58.35
He never turned away
00:02:58.38\00:03:05.02
The Lord forgave his servant
00:03:05.05\00:03:09.36
He smiled upon his own
00:03:09.39\00:03:14.63
For the God of
David is a God of grace
00:03:14.66\00:03:21.71
To the giant slayer
00:03:23.78\00:03:28.80
the psalm sayer
00:03:28.83\00:03:32.82
For the God of Jacob set apart
00:03:32.85\00:03:39.52
Oh, Lord a joy bringer
00:03:39.55\00:03:46.47
A psalm singer
00:03:46.50\00:03:49.71
God called him a
man after His own heart
00:03:49.74\00:03:56.57
And from his seed
would come a Savior
00:04:02.81\00:04:07.82
A light unto the
nations He would be
00:04:07.85\00:04:13.62
And from his land
would come a ruler
00:04:16.13\00:04:21.04
The King of our salvation
00:04:21.07\00:04:25.76
Jesus Christ is He
00:04:25.79\00:04:29.76
Make me a giant slayer
00:04:37.97\00:04:45.27
A psalm sayer
00:04:46.62\00:04:50.73
For the God of
Jacob set apart to Jesus
00:04:50.76\00:04:57.99
A joy bringer a psalm singer
00:05:00.10\00:05:07.45
God make me a man
after your own heart
00:05:07.48\00:05:14.05
Lord make me a man
after your own heart
00:05:16.32\00:05:24.29
A man after your own
00:05:25.91\00:05:29.84
Own heart
00:05:34.39\00:05:38.74
This calls for wisdom.
00:05:47.23\00:05:48.66
You got to have
some wisdom from God.
00:05:48.69\00:05:52.39
You can't work
this out by yourself.
00:05:52.42\00:05:55.38
This calls for wisdom.
00:05:55.41\00:05:57.24
If anyone has insight
00:05:57.27\00:05:59.75
and insight comes
from the Holy Spirit.
00:05:59.78\00:06:05.55
I want to tell you tonight.
00:06:05.58\00:06:07.00
I can sense the anointing of
the Holy Spirit upon me tonight.
00:06:07.03\00:06:13.90
I feel that the Holy
Spirit is upon me tonight.
00:06:13.93\00:06:17.64
And I can feel
that the Holy Spirit
00:06:17.67\00:06:20.88
is giving you
insight because He's here.
00:06:20.91\00:06:25.02
We got a 100,000
people here tonight.
00:06:25.05\00:06:27.67
And they are
receiving the Holy Spirit.
00:06:27.70\00:06:30.65
And God is opening blind eyes.
00:06:30.68\00:06:34.35
Paul, the evangelist
says in the Bible that
00:06:37.79\00:06:40.78
"God will finish His work
00:06:40.81\00:06:42.18
and cut it short
in righteousness."
00:06:42.21\00:06:44.48
The prophet Joel says
"God will pour out His Spirit
00:06:44.51\00:06:47.20
in the last days, and
signs and wonders will follow."
00:06:47.23\00:06:50.40
The Carter Report believes
that we are now in the end times
00:06:50.43\00:06:54.41
and His Spirit
is moving mightily.
00:06:54.44\00:06:57.10
During the Port
Moresby campaign,
00:06:57.13\00:06:59.12
we testify that we saw
the power of God revealed.
00:06:59.15\00:07:03.06
More than
100,000 God-hungry souls
00:07:03.09\00:07:05.79
could not get enough
of the word of the Lord.
00:07:05.82\00:07:08.42
As at creation,
the Spirit of God moved
00:07:08.45\00:07:11.86
upon the face of the waters
00:07:11.89\00:07:13.58
and God brought
cosmos out of chaos.
00:07:13.61\00:07:17.17
Souls were recreated in
the image of the Creator.
00:07:17.20\00:07:20.91
Instead of hate, there was love.
00:07:20.94\00:07:23.00
Instead of
despair, there was hope.
00:07:23.03\00:07:25.13
Instead of
sorrow, there was joy.
00:07:25.16\00:07:27.47
And in the place of
death, God gave life.
00:07:27.50\00:07:30.87
One night, as John
Carter preached on the person
00:07:30.90\00:07:33.90
and work of the Holy Spirit,
00:07:33.93\00:07:35.30
the image of a white bird
was flashed on the screens.
00:07:35.33\00:07:38.82
At that moment,
a great white bird
00:07:38.85\00:07:41.14
flew low over the
astonished congregation.
00:07:41.17\00:07:44.19
Cries of joy filled the
air, as the audience recognized
00:07:44.22\00:07:47.91
that God had visited His people.
00:07:47.94\00:07:49.94
A mighty surge
of Pentecostal power
00:07:49.97\00:07:52.58
swept the
audience of 120,000 souls
00:07:52.61\00:07:56.12
and everyone
present felt the warm
00:07:56.15\00:07:59.01
comforting presence of God.
00:07:59.04\00:08:01.24

Report team invites you,

00:08:31.61\00:08:36.51
Ha, there it is.
00:08:40.07\00:08:41.73
I only have to think
about it and it appears.
00:08:41.76\00:08:44.52
There we have the
period of the Dark Ages
00:08:44.55\00:08:47.93
and these dates, my
friend, are approximate dates.
00:08:47.96\00:08:52.71
History doesn't
start or close with a date.
00:08:52.74\00:08:56.13
But that great church became
a world power in the year 538
00:08:56.16\00:09:02.76
and ruled for 1260 years
00:09:02.79\00:09:07.39
and it comes through until 1798.
00:09:07.42\00:09:12.52
And that great time period
of more than a thousand years,
00:09:12.55\00:09:17.51
that great time
period of 1260 years
00:09:17.54\00:09:21.75
is what historians
call the Dark Ages.
00:09:21.78\00:09:29.72
The noonday of that great church
00:09:29.75\00:09:33.93
was the midnight of the world.
00:09:33.96\00:09:40.87
During the Dark Ages,
00:09:40.90\00:09:42.92
millions of
earnest devoted Christians
00:09:42.95\00:09:47.56
were put to death
because they would not bend.
00:09:47.59\00:09:51.19
They would not budge.
00:09:51.22\00:09:52.86
They would not bow down to Baal
00:09:52.89\00:09:55.46
and because they believed
00:09:55.49\00:09:58.23
in reading their Bibles.
00:09:58.26\00:10:03.86
Revelation 13:7 tells us
00:10:03.89\00:10:07.07
that the beast
persecutes non-conformers.
00:10:07.10\00:10:12.34
Revelation 13:7, I
want you to know tonight.
00:10:12.37\00:10:17.78
I want to be a
non-conformist for Jesus.
00:10:17.81\00:10:24.70
I want to stand with Jesus,
00:10:24.73\00:10:27.40
even if I'm
standing with the minority
00:10:27.43\00:10:31.94
because with Jesus, one
man and Jesus make a majority.
00:10:31.97\00:10:38.32
Hear what I'm saying?
00:10:38.35\00:10:39.72
Look at this text.
00:10:39.75\00:10:42.25
"He was given power to
make war against the saint."
00:10:42.28\00:10:46.98
He makes war.
00:10:47.01\00:10:49.27
The false woman makes
war against the true woman.
00:10:49.30\00:10:53.05
The harlot church makes war
against the bride of the lamb.
00:10:53.08\00:10:58.99
And there you have a picture of
the bloody Spanish inquisition.
00:10:59.02\00:11:05.19
Says here, "He was
given power to make war
00:11:05.22\00:11:08.25
against the saints
and to conquer them.
00:11:08.28\00:11:10.79
And he was given
authority over every tribe,
00:11:10.82\00:11:14.46
people, language and nation."
00:11:14.49\00:11:17.34
He ruled the world.
00:11:17.37\00:11:20.30
And when he ruled the world,
00:11:20.33\00:11:23.65
it was a time of darkness
and religious terrorism.
00:11:23.68\00:11:31.03
I would remind you tonight
00:11:31.06\00:11:33.67
that even though this
great church persecuted.
00:11:33.70\00:11:38.24
The religion of Jesus
never persecuted a single soul.
00:11:38.27\00:11:46.19
God never forces us.
00:11:46.22\00:11:49.02
You can come into this
meeting tonight and you can say,
00:11:49.05\00:11:52.88
"I will not do,
what God tells me to do."
00:11:52.91\00:11:57.64
God will never force you.
00:11:57.67\00:12:01.38
Jesus said, "I haven't
come to destroy men's lives,
00:12:01.41\00:12:07.22
but to save them."
00:12:07.25\00:12:12.58
The religion of Jesus
00:12:12.61\00:12:14.73
never persecuted a single soul.
00:12:14.76\00:12:20.83
The fifth identification
mark is Revelation 13:2
00:12:20.86\00:12:26.44
"This church receives
her power from the dragon."
00:12:26.47\00:12:32.17
Revelation 13:2,
00:12:32.20\00:12:35.82
this is the word of the Lord.
00:12:35.85\00:12:40.89
"The beast I saw
resembled a leopard,"
00:12:40.92\00:12:43.90
add a bit of Greek.
00:12:43.93\00:12:46.11
"But had feet of
those of a bear" Medo-Persia
00:12:46.14\00:12:50.01
"and a mouth
like that of a lion."
00:12:50.04\00:12:51.91
Babylon and he cries,
00:12:51.94\00:12:55.27
"The dragon gave
the beast his power
00:12:55.30\00:12:57.74
and his throne
and great authority."
00:12:57.77\00:13:02.14
The Bible tells me
that this great church
00:13:02.17\00:13:06.43
did not get his
power from Jesus,
00:13:06.46\00:13:11.43
but this great church got
his power from the dragon.
00:13:11.46\00:13:18.52
Now listen, the dragon is Satan,
00:13:18.55\00:13:24.40
but Satan works
through earthly powers.
00:13:24.43\00:13:29.51
And in the days of Jesus,
00:13:29.54\00:13:33.40
Satan was working through
00:13:33.43\00:13:35.95
the power of pagan Rome.
00:13:35.98\00:13:42.88
And history tells me
00:13:42.91\00:13:46.44
that this great
religious system,
00:13:46.47\00:13:52.58
god-head power not from
Jesus, but from pagan Rome.
00:13:52.61\00:14:00.29
It's going to be
hard for you to see that,
00:14:00.32\00:14:04.07
but it's over there
in the city of Rome.
00:14:04.10\00:14:07.08
And it has there and
if you look at it hard,
00:14:07.11\00:14:10.17
you can see, it says Caesar.
00:14:10.20\00:14:13.26
It's got the name Caesar.
00:14:13.29\00:14:14.66
And then, it's got his
title Pontifex Maximus.
00:14:14.69\00:14:22.44
Pontifex Maximus is the title
00:14:22.47\00:14:25.33
of the Caesars
of Rome, the dragon.
00:14:25.36\00:14:33.10
What happened was?
00:14:33.13\00:14:35.20
The church got all
the power of pagan Rome
00:14:35.23\00:14:40.74
and pagan Rome was
so-called converted
00:14:40.77\00:14:44.89
and pagan Rome gave
her authority and her power
00:14:44.92\00:14:50.97
and her prestige to the church.
00:14:51.00\00:14:56.23
Not the church of Jesus,
but the counterfeit church.
00:14:56.26\00:15:00.13
And if you notice
up here, look at this.
00:15:00.16\00:15:03.24
It's got the name of Sixtus.
00:15:03.27\00:15:07.74
One of the popes at it
calls him Pontifex Maximus.
00:15:07.77\00:15:14.59
You can see it
with your own eyes.
00:15:14.62\00:15:17.68
Out over here on this screen,
00:15:17.71\00:15:20.56
you can see Constantine,
00:15:20.59\00:15:23.52
the Roman emperor giving
00:15:23.55\00:15:25.86
his authority to the church.
00:15:25.89\00:15:32.76
This is history.
00:15:32.79\00:15:34.99
We're not talking
about people living today.
00:15:35.02\00:15:37.56
We are talking about
the facts of history.
00:15:37.59\00:15:41.10
As Jesus said "You
will know the truth
00:15:41.13\00:15:43.53
and the truth
will make you free."
00:15:43.56\00:15:46.46
You see, the
dragon gave him his power
00:15:46.49\00:15:52.35
and his throne and
his great authority.
00:15:52.38\00:15:58.62
Every word of the
prophecy came to pass.
00:15:58.65\00:16:04.10
I tell you, this is
the word of the Lord.
00:16:04.13\00:16:08.97
Now listen, the Bible says
that this power would receive
00:16:09.00\00:16:14.82
a fatal or a
deadly wound as it says
00:16:14.85\00:16:17.80
in the King James Version.
00:16:17.83\00:16:19.87
You read about
this in Revelation 13:3,
00:16:19.90\00:16:26.06
Revelation 13:3.
00:16:26.09\00:16:30.33
"One of the heads
of the beast seemed
00:16:30.36\00:16:32.34
to have had a fatal wound."
00:16:32.37\00:16:35.02
People say
where did that happen?
00:16:35.05\00:16:36.95
I talked about
it the other night.
00:16:36.98\00:16:39.74
This great
system ruled the world
00:16:39.77\00:16:42.07
from 538 right
through until 1798.
00:16:42.10\00:16:48.84
And then General Berthier,
00:16:48.87\00:16:50.32
one of the generals
of Napoleon Bonaparte
00:16:50.35\00:16:53.79
marched down to Rome and
took the Pontiff prisoner,
00:16:53.82\00:16:59.87
after the 1260 years.
00:16:59.90\00:17:02.53
You say it's incredible.
00:17:02.56\00:17:04.86
I can't believe this, my friend.
00:17:04.89\00:17:07.11
Believe in the God
who believes in you.
00:17:07.14\00:17:11.26
If there's a person here
tonight and you've come here
00:17:11.29\00:17:13.69
and you say, I
don't believe the Bible.
00:17:13.72\00:17:15.99
Well, you better believe
it now because history proves
00:17:16.02\00:17:21.72
that the prophecies of the
Bible are absolutely correct.
00:17:21.75\00:17:26.71
And just a bit before then,
a great Roman Catholic monk
00:17:26.74\00:17:32.12
by the name of Martin Luther
00:17:32.15\00:17:35.40
started to
preach the word of God.
00:17:35.43\00:17:39.48
Now tomorrow
night I'm going to talk
00:17:39.51\00:17:43.15
on how long does
it take to be saved.
00:17:43.18\00:17:47.37
A part of that talk is going
to be what Martin Luther taught.
00:17:47.40\00:17:52.63
The best meeting that I
give in this entire series,
00:17:52.66\00:17:55.55
I think, is the
meeting tomorrow night.
00:17:55.58\00:18:00.12
That the
preaching of Martin Luther
00:18:00.15\00:18:03.25
and those great reformers
gave to that great church,
00:18:03.28\00:18:09.43
a moral wound.
00:18:09.46\00:18:14.25
Did you know this,
my Protestant friends,
00:18:14.28\00:18:17.12
Martin Luther taught
virtually everything,
00:18:17.15\00:18:20.78
I am teaching and
preaching in these meetings?
00:18:20.81\00:18:24.58
He said "We must follow
the Bible and the Bible alone."
00:18:24.61\00:18:30.82
And he said that "That
great church was the power
00:18:30.85\00:18:36.33
that was described in
the prophecies of the Bible."
00:18:36.36\00:18:41.13
Those churches
don't teach it today
00:18:41.16\00:18:44.28
because they are
afraid to teach it.
00:18:44.31\00:18:46.55
But I want you to know today,
00:18:46.58\00:18:48.44
we are standing
on the word of God.
00:18:48.47\00:18:53.50
God help us tonight.
00:18:53.53\00:18:56.48
And the next great truth
is this, identification mark.
00:18:56.51\00:18:59.90
The Bible says that that fatal
00:18:59.93\00:19:03.05
or that mortal
wound would be healed.
00:19:03.08\00:19:06.36
Let us read this,
there it is point number 7.
00:19:06.39\00:19:10.22
But you know I got
it there in yellow.
00:19:10.25\00:19:12.01
"But the fatal
wound had been healed.
00:19:12.04\00:19:14.47
The whole world was astonished
and followed the beast."
00:19:14.50\00:19:18.28
The Bible says that that great
church that went down in 1798,
00:19:18.31\00:19:23.46
according to Bible prophecy
and because of the preaching
00:19:23.49\00:19:29.56
of the great
prophecies of the Bible.
00:19:29.59\00:19:32.79
The Bible says that great power
00:19:32.82\00:19:36.45
is going to come
back with all the might,
00:19:36.48\00:19:42.03
with all the
intolerance of the Dark Ages.
00:19:42.06\00:19:46.07
And that great
power is going to enforce
00:19:46.10\00:19:49.64
the Mark of the Beast.
00:19:49.67\00:19:51.91
But I want you to
know that Jesus is going
00:19:51.94\00:19:55.98
to arise in power and strength.
00:19:56.01\00:19:59.58
And He is going
to slay the beast
00:19:59.61\00:20:02.05
and He is going
to save His people.
00:20:02.08\00:20:04.82
Want you to know this.
00:20:04.85\00:20:06.59
I want you to know tonight
that we are on the winning side.
00:20:06.62\00:20:11.43
We have read the back
of the book and we win.
00:20:11.46\00:20:16.10
Now listen. Point
number 8, I think it is.
00:20:16.13\00:20:20.79
The Bible says
that this great church
00:20:20.82\00:20:23.41
has got a man
00:20:23.44\00:20:25.45
and his number is 666.
00:20:25.48\00:20:33.08
Are you ready for this?
00:20:33.11\00:20:35.61
Revelation Chapter 13,
at the end of the Chapter.
00:20:35.64\00:20:41.98
This calls for wisdom.
00:20:42.01\00:20:43.91
You got to have
some wisdom from God.
00:20:43.94\00:20:47.91
You can't work
this out by yourself.
00:20:47.94\00:20:50.67
This calls for wisdom.
00:20:50.70\00:20:52.22
If anyone has insight
00:20:52.25\00:20:54.98
and insight comes
from the Holy Spirit.
00:20:55.01\00:21:00.98
I want to tell you tonight.
00:21:01.01\00:21:02.38
I can sense the
anointing of the Holy Spirit
00:21:02.41\00:21:07.12
upon me tonight, I
feel that the Holy Spirit
00:21:07.15\00:21:11.79
is upon me tonight, and I
can feel that the Holy Spirit
00:21:11.82\00:21:16.12
is giving you
insight because He is here.
00:21:16.15\00:21:20.18
We got a hundred
thousand people here tonight
00:21:20.21\00:21:22.90
and they are
receiving the Holy Spirit
00:21:22.93\00:21:25.86
and God is opening blind eyes.
00:21:25.89\00:21:31.32
"This calls for wisdom.
00:21:31.35\00:21:33.32
If anyone has insight,
00:21:33.35\00:21:34.72
let him calculate the
number of this church the beast,
00:21:34.75\00:21:38.42
for it is man's number.
00:21:38.45\00:21:40.85
His number is 666."
00:21:40.88\00:21:46.35
The number of total apostasy.
00:21:46.38\00:21:52.67
Now listen carefully.
00:21:52.70\00:21:56.52
There are many superficial
preachers in the world today.
00:21:56.55\00:22:00.92
They've given up
preaching these truths
00:22:00.95\00:22:03.18
because they don't want
to appear to be unpopular.
00:22:03.21\00:22:08.16
I want to say tonight,
we're standing on history
00:22:08.19\00:22:11.21
and we're standing on the truth.
00:22:11.24\00:22:13.66
What I am showing you tonight on
666 is the tip of the iceberg.
00:22:13.69\00:22:20.24
Am I exhausting this?
00:22:20.27\00:22:22.71
No, no, no.
00:22:22.74\00:22:25.25
Am I discarding this?
00:22:25.28\00:22:28.56
No, no, no.
00:22:28.59\00:22:30.97
I'm going to tell you the truth.
00:22:31.00\00:22:35.19
History tells me.
00:22:35.22\00:22:37.13
Glad that you folks are
with me tonight, a great crowd,
00:22:37.16\00:22:41.58
a people of all religions
here tonight, God loves you.
00:22:41.61\00:22:48.57
The official title
for more than 1,000 years
00:22:48.60\00:22:53.24
of the leader of
that great church,
00:22:53.27\00:22:55.07
you can read this in
all of their literature.
00:22:55.10\00:22:59.83
My friend Pastor
Harold Harker has done
00:22:59.86\00:23:03.41
a tremendous amount
of study of these things.
00:23:03.44\00:23:08.07
He has gone to Rome.
00:23:08.10\00:23:10.08
He has gone to the
archives with other scholars.
00:23:10.11\00:23:15.62
Now this great
truth has been acknowledge
00:23:15.65\00:23:18.33
by some of the
greatest scholars of our age
00:23:18.36\00:23:22.69
in the last thousand years.
00:23:22.72\00:23:26.98
The official title of the
leader of the great church,
00:23:27.01\00:23:32.68
I'm going to put it up
here on the blackboard.
00:23:32.71\00:23:35.74
Here we go.
00:23:35.77\00:23:37.14
Let's get our camera over here.
00:23:37.17\00:23:40.03
Vicarius, V-I-C-A-R-I-U-S,
00:23:40.06\00:23:43.47
just enough room.
00:23:48.17\00:23:49.76
Vacarius, that means Vicar.
00:23:49.79\00:23:53.66
Filii, Filii. This
is in Latin, of course,
00:23:53.69\00:23:58.61
Vacarius Filii Dei.
00:23:58.64\00:24:04.30
And you can read
this in the literature
00:24:04.33\00:24:06.80
of this great organization.
00:24:06.83\00:24:09.08
In fact, I have
a magazine put out
00:24:09.11\00:24:11.53
by that great
church and it says,
00:24:11.56\00:24:13.68
"The official
title of the Pontiff
00:24:13.71\00:24:17.44
is Vicarius
Filii Dei, which means
00:24:17.47\00:24:23.20
the Vicar of the Son of God."
00:24:23.23\00:24:26.25
He is the Vicar
of Christ Himself.
00:24:26.28\00:24:32.54
You say, "But, are you sure?"
00:24:32.57\00:24:34.19
Absolutely sure.
00:24:34.22\00:24:39.23
Vicarius Filii Dei.
00:24:39.26\00:24:43.97
That is the title of the
great leader of that church
00:24:44.00\00:24:48.30
that is called in
Bible prophecy, "The Beast."
00:24:48.33\00:24:54.13
Now we're going to come
over here to the blackboard.
00:24:54.16\00:24:57.14
These Latin letters
have numerical value.
00:24:57.17\00:25:02.94
V is--who knows?
00:25:02.97\00:25:06.39
Come on, tell me loud.
00:25:06.42\00:25:08.97
Yeah, that's good.
00:25:09.00\00:25:10.37
V is five, I is
one, C is a hundred,
00:25:10.40\00:25:15.66
A is zero, R is
a zero, I is one,
00:25:15.69\00:25:20.92
U is the same as V, W,
this is 5, S is nothing.
00:25:20.95\00:25:28.72
F, nothing, I is one, L
is 50, this is 1, this is 1.
00:25:28.75\00:25:34.59
D is 500, E is nothing, I is 1.
00:25:34.62\00:25:41.76
Now we're going to put them
up also on the great screens
00:25:41.79\00:25:47.00
and you'll see it so plainly
that you'll shout Hallelujah.
00:25:47.03\00:25:51.21
Here we've got it.
00:25:51.24\00:25:53.76
Vicarius Filii Dei.
00:25:53.79\00:25:58.49
You added up at it comes to,
00:25:58.52\00:26:01.42
there you've got it, 666.
00:26:01.45\00:26:04.69
Listen, this is only for
people who've got insight.
00:26:12.33\00:26:18.32
This is only for people
who have received the anointing
00:26:18.35\00:26:23.05
of the Holy
Spirit upon themselves.
00:26:23.08\00:26:29.41
Now let me say something
as we go a little further.
00:26:29.44\00:26:35.41
If that were the
only bit of evidence,
00:26:35.44\00:26:39.28
I would not be
arguing this case tonight.
00:26:39.31\00:26:42.30
The God put it in
there, so that we would have
00:26:42.33\00:26:47.07
the final bit of
prove, so that we would
00:26:47.10\00:26:49.86
no longer walk in the darkness.
00:26:49.89\00:26:55.39
The Beast is the great
church of the Dark Ages.
00:26:55.42\00:27:00.65
The Mark of the
Beast is the mark
00:27:00.68\00:27:03.33
of that great
church that persecutes.
00:27:03.36\00:27:08.58
Now the next question we
are--I've got to get back
00:27:08.61\00:27:11.17
into teaching mode.
00:27:11.20\00:27:13.15
What is the mark of
the great Roman Church?
00:27:13.18\00:27:17.77
Because that will be
the mark of the beast.
00:27:17.80\00:27:22.93
Before we can
discover the Mark of the Beast,
00:27:22.96\00:27:25.41
we must
discover the Mark of God.
00:27:25.44\00:27:30.15
Because the Mark of the
Beast is a great counterfeit,
00:27:30.18\00:27:36.20
every truth said God has,
antichrist has a counterfeit
00:27:36.23\00:27:42.85
instead of the Bible
antichrist has tradition.
00:27:42.88\00:27:50.74
The Mark of the
Beast is the counterfeit
00:27:50.77\00:27:53.21
of the Mark of God.
00:27:53.24\00:27:55.19
God has a mark which is
God's sign or God's seal.
00:27:55.22\00:28:00.98
This mark of authority--God,
I tell you, has a mark.
00:28:01.01\00:28:07.20
God's seal or God's
mark contains three elements.
00:28:07.23\00:28:13.94
God's name, number one.
00:28:13.97\00:28:17.71
Number two, God's title.
00:28:17.74\00:28:20.61
Number three, God's dominion.
00:28:20.64\00:28:25.26
Now, when a king in
ancient times sent out a letter,
00:28:25.29\00:28:31.75
he put his seal on it.
00:28:31.78\00:28:34.65
His name, his
title and his dominion.
00:28:34.68\00:28:37.86
For an instance,
Barack Obama, that's his name.
00:28:37.89\00:28:44.32
Title, the
President, his dominion,
00:28:44.35\00:28:48.02
the United States of America.
00:28:48.05\00:28:52.92
Elizabeth, the
Queen, that's her title.
00:28:52.95\00:28:57.61
Elizabeth, the title is queen.
00:28:57.64\00:29:02.12
And her dominion, Great
Britain, and her dominions.
00:29:02.15\00:29:07.22
And so a seal contains
00:29:07.25\00:29:10.24
three important
elements name, title, dominion.
00:29:10.27\00:29:17.63
Please, don't forget that.
00:29:17.66\00:29:20.08
Because right now
we are going to turn
00:29:20.11\00:29:22.33
to the commandments of God,
00:29:22.36\00:29:24.37
because the Mark of
the Beast is the opposite
00:29:24.40\00:29:28.76
of the commandments
of God and you'll see,
00:29:28.79\00:29:34.09
Exodus 20:8-11.
00:29:34.12\00:29:38.85
And we are
looking for God's seal
00:29:38.88\00:29:42.72
that has His name, His
title and His dominion.
00:29:42.75\00:29:47.67
Augustine said, "Our
souls were made for God
00:29:51.37\00:29:54.40
and they cannot rest
until they rest in him."
00:29:54.43\00:29:57.43
Within every heart, there is
a void that only God can fill.
00:29:57.46\00:30:01.89
This is why so many came
to the Carter Report meetings
00:30:01.92\00:30:05.38
in Port Moresby,
Papua New Guinea.
00:30:05.41\00:30:07.86
The crowds were
greater than those attending
00:30:07.89\00:30:10.35
the Olympic Games in London.
00:30:10.38\00:30:12.89
They came because everyone
is a winner when Christ is Lord.
00:30:12.92\00:30:17.55
If you, my dear friend,
would like to be a faith partner
00:30:17.58\00:30:20.58

extraordinary work,

candle in dark places.
00:30:48.17\00:30:50.84
Remember, I told you before.
00:30:52.90\00:30:54.66
If you want to escape
the Mark of the Beast,
00:30:54.69\00:30:56.78
then keep the commandments
of God because you love Jesus.
00:30:56.81\00:31:00.96
Exodus 20, we're
going to have a look at it.
00:31:00.99\00:31:07.43
Exodus 20:8-11.
00:31:07.46\00:31:14.08
Notice these words.
00:31:14.11\00:31:17.39
Before we read these words,
00:31:17.42\00:31:18.88
I would remind you that when
God gave the Ten Commandments,
00:31:18.91\00:31:23.33
He came down in
great fire and splendor
00:31:23.36\00:31:26.52
and majesty on Mount Sinai.
00:31:26.55\00:31:29.25
He spoke the Ten
Commandment with His own mouth
00:31:29.28\00:31:32.30
and He wrote
the Ten Commandments
00:31:32.33\00:31:34.16
with His own finger.
00:31:34.19\00:31:35.56
He came down because
we couldn't go up to Him.
00:31:35.59\00:31:39.66
He came down and
He gave us His law
00:31:39.69\00:31:44.32
and He gave us His mark.
00:31:44.35\00:31:46.34
Now we're looking
for God's--what is it?
00:31:46.37\00:31:48.59
Name, His title and
His dominion or territory.
00:31:48.62\00:31:54.70
Here we go.
00:31:54.73\00:31:56.15
"Remember the Sabbath
day by keeping it holy."
00:31:56.18\00:32:01.27
People would say,
"Why did God say remember?"
00:32:01.30\00:32:04.73
Because He knew we would forget.
00:32:04.76\00:32:08.32
"Remember the Sabbath
day by keeping it holy.
00:32:08.35\00:32:10.81
Six days you shall
labor and do all your work,
00:32:10.84\00:32:15.02
but the seventh
day is the Sabbath
00:32:15.05\00:32:17.42
to the Lord your God."
00:32:17.45\00:32:19.67
There His name.
00:32:19.70\00:32:21.07
"On it you shall not
do any work neither you,
00:32:21.10\00:32:25.01
nor your son, or your daughter,
00:32:25.04\00:32:27.77
nor your man
servant or made servant,
00:32:27.80\00:32:30.56
nor your animals, nor
the alien within your gates.
00:32:30.59\00:32:33.84
For in six days the Lord."
00:32:33.87\00:32:38.14
There is His name.
00:32:38.17\00:32:41.87
The amazing awesome name
of the great Creator God,
00:32:41.90\00:32:47.71
The Lord, He made.
00:32:47.74\00:32:51.32
If He made it, we
have discovered His title.
00:32:51.35\00:32:56.93
His title is the
maker or the creator.
00:32:56.96\00:33:04.67
The Lord. His name, His title,
the maker and His dominion,
00:33:04.70\00:33:10.60
there it is, heaven and earth.
00:33:10.63\00:33:15.07
And it goes on
and it talks about,
00:33:15.10\00:33:17.54
"The sea, and
all that is in them,
00:33:17.57\00:33:20.51
but He rested
on the seventh day.
00:33:20.54\00:33:22.89
Therefore the Lord blessed
00:33:22.92\00:33:25.03
the Sabbath day
and made it holy."
00:33:25.06\00:33:29.98
Listen, listen.
00:33:30.01\00:33:34.10
Only, only in the Sabbath,
00:33:34.13\00:33:41.39
do we have the
seal of Almighty God?
00:33:41.42\00:33:46.59
Nowhere else in the
scriptures do we have His name,
00:33:46.62\00:33:52.20
His title and His dominion?
00:33:52.23\00:33:54.83
Therefore I tell you today,
00:33:54.86\00:33:57.33
I tell you tonight on the
authority of Holy Scripture,
00:33:57.36\00:34:01.59
the seventh day
Sabbath found in the heart
00:34:01.62\00:34:05.72
of the commandments is the seal
00:34:05.75\00:34:08.51
or the sign or the mark of God.
00:34:08.54\00:34:14.76
Now we turn to
Ezekiel 20:12 and 20.
00:34:14.79\00:34:20.40
Ezekiel 20:12 and 20.
00:34:20.43\00:34:27.36
Look now, look now. Look now.
00:34:27.39\00:34:32.67
"Also I gave them
my Sabbaths as a sign,
00:34:32.70\00:34:38.82
my mark between us,
so that they would know
00:34:38.85\00:34:43.79
that I the Lord made them holy."
00:34:43.82\00:34:46.49
You say, I was told.
00:34:46.52\00:34:48.60
It doesn't matter.
00:34:48.63\00:34:50.00
My friend, it matters to
God, it is the mark of God.
00:34:50.03\00:34:54.13
It is the seal of God.
00:34:54.16\00:34:55.90
It is the sign of God.
00:34:55.93\00:34:58.53
Then He says here in verse 20,
00:34:58.56\00:35:00.30
"Keep my Sabbaths holy."
00:35:00.33\00:35:01.96
This is not John Carter talking,
00:35:01.99\00:35:03.77
this is Almighty God
talking to you here tonight
00:35:03.80\00:35:07.39
in this vast auditorium
with a hundred thousand people.
00:35:07.42\00:35:11.64
"Keep my Sabbaths holy that
they may be a sign between us.
00:35:11.67\00:35:17.26
Then you will know that
I am the Lord your God."
00:35:17.29\00:35:22.88
Listen to me, listen.
00:35:22.91\00:35:26.68
I think I should come
over here to the blackboard.
00:35:26.71\00:35:30.54
Just about run
out of blackboard,
00:35:30.57\00:35:31.94
but I'm going to come over here.
00:35:31.97\00:35:33.65
I'm going to write up the
Bible says, "The seventh."
00:35:33.68\00:35:38.28
We've got camera in here.
00:35:38.31\00:35:39.68
"The seventh day Sabbath."
00:35:39.71\00:35:44.53
I never said it.
00:35:44.56\00:35:46.02
God said it.
00:35:46.05\00:35:48.56
Don't you want to obey God?
00:35:48.59\00:35:50.74
The seventh day
Sabbath is the seal,
00:35:50.77\00:35:57.07
it is sign,
00:35:57.10\00:36:02.29
it is the mark of Almighty God.
00:36:02.32\00:36:10.21
God says,
"Remember the Sabbath."
00:36:10.24\00:36:14.54
Now listen, listen, listen.
00:36:14.57\00:36:16.81
I want you to
look at three texts.
00:36:16.84\00:36:19.61
Genesis 2:1-3. Genesis 2:1-3.
00:36:19.64\00:36:24.58
"Thus the heavens and the earth
00:36:24.61\00:36:26.23
were completed in
all their vast array.
00:36:26.26\00:36:28.31
By the seventh day
God had finished the work
00:36:28.34\00:36:30.48
he had been doing,
so on the seventh day
00:36:30.51\00:36:33.70
he rested from all his
work that--all his work.
00:36:33.73\00:36:36.92
And God blessed the
seventh day and made it holy,
00:36:36.95\00:36:41.24
because on it he rested
from all the work of creating
00:36:41.27\00:36:45.62
that he had done in the very
beginning of time when God--
00:36:45.65\00:36:50.22
Look at this beautiful picture.
00:36:50.25\00:36:51.62
When God made the world,
00:36:51.65\00:36:53.51
the Bible tells me right back
00:36:53.54\00:36:55.30
there in the very
beginning of time.
00:36:55.33\00:36:57.38
The Bible tells me that
"God blessed the Sabbath day."
00:36:57.41\00:37:01.76
And the Bible tells me,
00:37:01.79\00:37:03.16
"He blessed the
seventh day and He made it holy
00:37:03.19\00:37:05.95
because it is His
day, it is His mark,
00:37:05.98\00:37:09.85
it is His sign
that He is the Creator
00:37:09.88\00:37:14.27
and He is the Lord."
00:37:14.30\00:37:16.43
Why do we worship Him tonight?
00:37:16.46\00:37:18.87
Because He is the Lord,
00:37:18.90\00:37:21.53
and that's what
the Sabbath stands for.
00:37:21.56\00:37:23.49
Isaiah 58:13, Isaiah 58:13.
00:37:23.52\00:37:30.42
"If you keep your feet
from breaking the Sabbath."
00:37:30.45\00:37:33.36
Walking around,
breaking the Sabbath
00:37:33.39\00:37:35.79
as people are doing today.
00:37:35.82\00:37:37.36
"And from doing as
you please on my holy day,
00:37:37.39\00:37:42.11
if you call the
Sabbath a delight
00:37:42.14\00:37:44.97
and the Lord's
holy day honorable
00:37:45.00\00:37:50.75
and if you honor it
by not going your own way
00:37:50.78\00:37:54.80
and not doing as you
please or speaking idle words."
00:37:54.83\00:37:59.13
The Bible tells me
that, "God has got a day.
00:37:59.16\00:38:03.66
It is His holy day and
that day was given to us,
00:38:03.69\00:38:08.37
so that we would never
forget that He is our God,
00:38:08.40\00:38:12.87
He is our Creator and He
sent Jesus to redeem us."
00:38:12.90\00:38:18.18
Now here's another text I want
you to see, Revelation 1:10.
00:38:18.21\00:38:25.27
This is in the
last book in the Bible.
00:38:25.30\00:38:30.14
"On the Lord's Day
I was in the Spirit,
00:38:30.17\00:38:33.74
and I heard behind me a
loud voice like a trumpet."
00:38:33.77\00:38:38.09
This is what I'm
gonna tell you, sorry.
00:38:38.12\00:38:40.24
Many of my
wonderful friends say to me,
00:38:40.27\00:38:43.03
Christian friends,
"But that day, some day."
00:38:43.06\00:38:45.50
No, it's not.
00:38:45.53\00:38:47.59
Jesus never kept the first day,
00:38:47.62\00:38:50.04
none of the
apostles kept the first day,
00:38:50.07\00:38:52.64
none of the early
Christians kept the first day,
00:38:52.67\00:38:55.43
none of the prophets
ever kept the first day,
00:38:55.46\00:38:58.66
they love Jesus and
they kept the Sabbath day.
00:38:58.69\00:39:04.33
But then, my friend,
after hundreds of years,
00:39:04.36\00:39:06.85
there came the
great state church
00:39:06.88\00:39:10.48
and the great state church
persecuted the true church.
00:39:10.51\00:39:17.33
For a long, long time the
great truth of the Sabbath
00:39:17.36\00:39:24.83
was almost lost, but
down through the ages,
00:39:24.86\00:39:30.31
God has always had a remnant.
00:39:30.34\00:39:34.60
You will remember to
keep holy the Sabbath day.
00:39:34.63\00:39:37.96
Listen, seventh day Sabbath
00:39:37.99\00:39:45.78
is the sign, it is
the seal, it is the mark,
00:39:46.20\00:39:53.23
and the Mark of the
Beast is the great counterfeit.
00:39:53.26\00:39:59.80
Over here, there
is the seal of God,
00:39:59.83\00:40:03.26
there is the mark of God.
00:40:03.29\00:40:07.38
But in Daniel 7:25, we
are told that the antichrist
00:40:07.41\00:40:14.43
will change the Sabbath,
00:40:14.46\00:40:17.79
and the counterfeit Sabbath
00:40:17.82\00:40:22.61
is his mark of his authority.
00:40:22.64\00:40:26.04
I want you to
look at Daniel 7:25.
00:40:32.85\00:40:37.06
"He will speak against the Most
High and oppress His saints."
00:40:37.09\00:40:43.27
You know it's true.
00:40:43.30\00:40:46.07
"And try to change the
set times and the laws."
00:40:46.10\00:40:52.25
The only part of
the Ten Commandments
00:40:52.28\00:40:54.68
that talks about times is
the holy seventh day Sabbath,
00:40:54.71\00:41:01.26
the seal, the
sign, the mark of God.
00:41:01.29\00:41:06.81
But the Bible says,
"The great counterfeit church
00:41:06.84\00:41:12.71
with the
blasphemous hand would strike
00:41:12.74\00:41:16.32
at the very heart
of the law of God."
00:41:16.35\00:41:21.90
Listen, after
Martin Luther there came
00:41:21.93\00:41:26.29
a great church
council, The Council of Trent,
00:41:26.32\00:41:30.15
hold by the popes and
they debated for years.
00:41:30.18\00:41:36.21
How shall we
answer Martin Luther?
00:41:36.24\00:41:40.14
Shall we do it by the Bible?
00:41:40.17\00:41:45.47
How can we
silence these heretics?
00:41:45.50\00:41:50.14
Some of the cardinal
said, "Let's go to the Bible."
00:41:50.17\00:41:53.63
But no. Another
cardinal got up and he said,
00:41:53.66\00:41:59.97
"We do not go by the Bible
because we the Catholic Church
00:42:00.00\00:42:06.83
changed the Sabbath from
00:42:06.86\00:42:09.78
the seventh day
to the first day.
00:42:09.81\00:42:15.18
And this is the proof
that we are the true church
00:42:15.21\00:42:20.30
because we can even
change the law of God."
00:42:20.33\00:42:26.15
And, youth, can you believe it?
00:42:26.18\00:42:30.62
More recently, one of the great
leaders of the church said.
00:42:30.65\00:42:36.33
Now listen to this.
00:42:36.36\00:42:37.73
We gonna put it
up on the screen.
00:42:37.76\00:42:40.17
"Of course the Catholic
Church claims that the change
00:42:40.20\00:42:45.76
was her act and the
act is a mark of her
00:42:45.79\00:42:51.88
ecclesiastical
power and authority
00:42:51.91\00:42:56.86
in religious matters."
00:42:56.89\00:43:00.01
They say, "We did it.
00:43:00.04\00:43:05.32
It is our mark."
00:43:05.35\00:43:10.70
Now, will the Mark of
the Beast be in forced?
00:43:10.73\00:43:15.36
In Revelation 13,
there is portrayed
00:43:15.39\00:43:22.76
a picture of a
world coming together.
00:43:22.79\00:43:29.86
"I saw another beast
coming up out of the earth.
00:43:29.89\00:43:32.08
He had two horns like a
lamb, he spoke like a dragon.
00:43:32.11\00:43:36.36
This is a power that
rises in the last days.
00:43:36.39\00:43:39.18
He exercised all the authority
00:43:39.21\00:43:41.16
of the first
beast on his behalf,
00:43:41.19\00:43:43.13
and made the earth
and its inhabitants
00:43:43.16\00:43:44.86
worship the first beast, whose
fatal wound had been healed.
00:43:44.89\00:43:50.06
And he performed
great and miraculous signs,
00:43:50.09\00:43:52.38
even causing fire to
come down from heaven
00:43:52.41\00:43:54.55
to earth in full view of men.
00:43:54.58\00:43:56.78
Because of the
signs he was given power
00:43:56.81\00:43:58.98
to do on behalf
of the first beast,
00:43:59.01\00:44:00.85
he deceived the
inhabitants of the earth.
00:44:00.88\00:44:04.38
He ordered them to set up
an image in honor of the beast
00:44:04.41\00:44:07.31
who was wounded by
the sword and yet lived.
00:44:07.34\00:44:11.74
The image is a copy.
00:44:11.77\00:44:13.79
He was given
power to give breath
00:44:13.82\00:44:15.59
to the image of the first
beast, so that it could speak
00:44:15.62\00:44:18.41
and cause all who refused to
worship the image to be killed.
00:44:18.44\00:44:23.33
He also forced
everyone, small and great,
00:44:23.36\00:44:25.73
rich and poor, free and slave,
00:44:25.76\00:44:27.91
to receive a mark on his
right hand or on his forehead,
00:44:27.94\00:44:31.89
so that no one could buy or
sell unless he had the mark,
00:44:31.92\00:44:35.66
which is the name of the beast
or the number of his name."
00:44:35.69\00:44:39.85
This is the crises of the ages.
00:44:39.88\00:44:44.82
The Bible says,
"In the last days,
00:44:44.85\00:44:48.03
there will come a
great world government."
00:44:48.06\00:44:53.68
Later, later by
this great organization,
00:44:53.71\00:45:00.53
church and state
will unite and I will say,
00:45:00.56\00:45:04.75
we will save the world
for God from terrorism.
00:45:04.78\00:45:11.37
And they will say,
"You must follow our laws.
00:45:11.40\00:45:14.67
You much give up
the truths of the Bible.
00:45:14.70\00:45:17.11
You must accept our authority.
00:45:17.14\00:45:21.07
You must do what
we tell you to do.
00:45:21.10\00:45:23.55
You must
surrender your soul to us.
00:45:23.58\00:45:28.52
And the earth would
sign of our authority
00:45:28.55\00:45:33.02
is the counterfeit Sabbath."
00:45:33.05\00:45:40.41
It's coming.
00:45:40.44\00:45:42.88
Soon the world is going to
be divided into two groups.
00:45:42.91\00:45:48.31
I've got this in my
heart, Christ versus antichrist.
00:45:48.34\00:45:55.71
God's law versus man's law.
00:45:55.74\00:46:00.10
God's Sabbath
versus man's Sabbath.
00:46:00.13\00:46:04.91
Can you not
see--can you not see at last
00:46:04.94\00:46:09.03
that if you want to
escape the Mark of the Beast,
00:46:09.06\00:46:14.36
you must follow Jesus and
keep the commandments of God
00:46:14.39\00:46:19.73
including the
Seventh-day Sabbath,
00:46:19.76\00:46:22.77
which is the seal,
the sign, the mark of God
00:46:22.80\00:46:27.14
because you have been
washed in the blood of Christ
00:46:27.17\00:46:31.34
and you're saved
and you're filled
00:46:31.37\00:46:35.15
with the Holy Spirit.
00:46:35.18\00:46:40.72
Years ago in Australia,
there was a little boy
00:46:40.75\00:46:46.33
who went to some
small religious meetings
00:46:46.36\00:46:49.05
in a little country town.
00:46:49.08\00:46:53.90
And one night the minister said,
00:46:53.93\00:46:55.30
"Are they people here who
have requests for prayer?"
00:46:55.33\00:46:58.18
We've done this here too.
00:46:58.21\00:47:00.26
The little boy put up his
hand and the minister said--
00:47:00.29\00:47:03.25
There's only 30
or 40 people there.
00:47:03.28\00:47:05.96
"What do you want little boy?"
00:47:05.99\00:47:07.36
He said, "I want
you to pray for my daddy
00:47:07.39\00:47:09.23
because my daddy is a
drunk and he beats my mummy."
00:47:09.26\00:47:14.36
What a coward to beat a woman.
00:47:14.39\00:47:18.63
What a coward?
00:47:18.66\00:47:20.03
That's what
alcohol does to people.
00:47:20.06\00:47:24.52
And so they prayed for
this little boy's daddy
00:47:24.55\00:47:29.38
that he would come to Christ.
00:47:29.41\00:47:34.25
But there was somebody in
that meeting a church member
00:47:34.28\00:47:37.71
who talk too much, we have them
00:47:37.74\00:47:43.99
and he knew this man,
00:47:44.02\00:47:47.01
the man who beat his wife.
00:47:47.04\00:47:51.28
And he went to this man
00:47:51.31\00:47:52.68
the next day at
work and he said,
00:47:52.71\00:47:55.24
"Your little boy told us
all about you and we're praying
00:47:55.27\00:48:00.12
for your soul that
you'll come to God and repent."
00:48:00.15\00:48:06.91
And that night when the
father got home from work,
00:48:06.94\00:48:10.08
he went to his
little boy, he said,
00:48:10.11\00:48:11.81
"You're praying about me down on
those stupid religious meeting?"
00:48:11.84\00:48:15.19
"Yes, daddy." He said,
00:48:15.22\00:48:17.08
"If you ever
mentioned my name again,
00:48:17.11\00:48:19.20
I'll beat you and
beat you and beat you
00:48:19.23\00:48:21.47
and beat you to an
inch of your life."
00:48:21.50\00:48:28.17
The little boy kept
going to those meetings.
00:48:28.20\00:48:32.70
He couldn't get
God out of his head
00:48:32.73\00:48:35.80
and he couldn't get
his daddy out of his head.
00:48:35.83\00:48:39.21
And the father
got worse, drank more.
00:48:39.24\00:48:42.57
One night the minister said,
00:48:42.60\00:48:44.19
"Are they those
who want prayer?"
00:48:44.22\00:48:46.48
The little boy
said, "Yes, I want prayer.
00:48:46.51\00:48:49.22
I want prayer for my
daddy, he's getting worse."
00:48:49.25\00:48:53.86
And the next day the same
fizzy body with the long tongue
00:48:53.89\00:48:59.61
went and saw that
man at work and he said,
00:48:59.64\00:49:04.69
"Our little boy
told us to pray for you."
00:49:04.72\00:49:07.23
He said, "Jim, why
don't you, give up the booze?
00:49:07.26\00:49:10.59
Why don't you
give up the drinking?
00:49:10.62\00:49:12.88
We're praying for you."
00:49:12.91\00:49:18.29
That night, that man
didn't go home, the father.
00:49:18.32\00:49:22.95
He went to the bar.
00:49:22.98\00:49:24.35
He went to the pub.
00:49:24.38\00:49:25.75
He went to the hotel and
he got loaded on alcohol.
00:49:25.78\00:49:31.72
And when he went
home, his wife had stayed up
00:49:31.75\00:49:35.12
and hurry his meal in
the oven and the little boy
00:49:35.15\00:49:39.25
was upstairs in bed and
the man, brave man that he was,
00:49:39.28\00:49:44.98
he bust in the
backdoor and his wife said,
00:49:45.01\00:49:48.37
"Jim, here's your dinner."
00:49:48.40\00:49:50.53
And he shoved her
aside and she fell over.
00:49:50.56\00:49:53.35
And the man went up the stairs
00:49:53.38\00:49:56.37
and he went into
the little boy's bedroom
00:49:56.40\00:49:59.30
and he got the little boy
out and he took off his belt
00:49:59.33\00:50:03.99
and he started to beat him,
00:50:04.02\00:50:05.95
beat him, beat him, beat him.
00:50:05.98\00:50:09.95
The little fellow was
crying, "Daddy, daddy, daddy."
00:50:09.98\00:50:12.96
And he was beating him.
00:50:12.99\00:50:14.47
And when the
little boy fell over,
00:50:14.50\00:50:16.18
he gave him a few kicks.
00:50:16.21\00:50:22.94
And then he
rushed down the stairs
00:50:22.97\00:50:26.26
and out the backdoor
and into the darkness.
00:50:26.29\00:50:33.34
And the mother
stood at the bottom
00:50:33.37\00:50:34.90
of the stairs
and she was weeping.
00:50:34.93\00:50:40.75
And after what
seemed an eternity,
00:50:43.25\00:50:45.58
she looked up the stairs
00:50:45.61\00:50:48.36
and there was her little boy
00:50:48.39\00:50:52.66
in his pajamas,
00:50:52.69\00:50:55.71
stained red with blood.
00:50:55.74\00:51:00.86
And he held out his arms to
his mother and he said, "Mummy."
00:51:00.89\00:51:06.35
And he was crying.
00:51:06.38\00:51:08.45
He said, "Mummy.
00:51:08.48\00:51:12.56
Mummy, I've just shed
my first blood for Jesus."
00:51:12.59\00:51:20.28
Maybe it's time for some of us
00:51:28.75\00:51:30.42
to shed our
first blood for Jesus.
00:51:30.45\00:51:37.12
Maybe it's time for us to say,
00:51:37.15\00:51:43.74
"I'm going to follow Christ.
00:51:43.77\00:51:47.54
I know people are
going to be against me.
00:51:47.57\00:51:49.70
I know, maybe I'm
going to be persecuted.
00:51:49.73\00:51:53.05
Maybe people are
going to hate me because
00:51:53.08\00:51:55.18
I'm going to follow Jesus
and keep His commandments."
00:51:55.21\00:52:00.24
But I'm deciding tonight to
shed my first blood for Jesus.
00:52:00.27\00:52:07.87
I want you to
remain seated tonight
00:52:07.90\00:52:11.07
and I'm going to pray for you.
00:52:11.10\00:52:13.40
I don't want you
to stand up tonight.
00:52:13.43\00:52:14.94
I just want you to bow your head
00:52:14.97\00:52:16.48
and you'll see why in a moment.
00:52:16.51\00:52:18.94
But, would you
please bow your head?
00:52:18.97\00:52:21.67
What we're gonna do?
00:52:21.70\00:52:23.55
We're gonna bring
you to God in prayer.
00:52:23.58\00:52:26.35
Look at me. I can't tell you
00:52:26.38\00:52:28.04
much more than
I've told tonight.
00:52:28.07\00:52:31.41
I've opened my heart to you.
00:52:31.44\00:52:33.61
I poured out my soul.
00:52:33.64\00:52:36.56
I've shown you the prophecy.
00:52:36.59\00:52:39.44
It's an unpopular truth,
but it is the truth of God.
00:52:39.47\00:52:42.22
Jesus is unpopular
in the world today.
00:52:42.25\00:52:47.12
But tonight, I want to
send Jesus a message home.
00:52:47.15\00:52:50.38
Lord, whatever
you tell me to do,
00:52:50.41\00:52:52.03
Jesus, I'm going to do it
00:52:52.06\00:52:54.24
even if it
hurts, even if I bleed.
00:52:54.27\00:52:59.08
I want you to remain seated.
00:52:59.11\00:53:01.41
I want you to bow your heads
00:53:01.44\00:53:04.69
and I want you to
tell the Lord tonight,
00:53:04.72\00:53:08.81
you're going to shed
your first blood for Jesus.
00:53:08.84\00:53:13.69
Dear, Father, tonight
00:53:13.72\00:53:16.00
here we are in
this vast, vast stadium.
00:53:16.03\00:53:21.41
We know that Your
presence is here tonight.
00:53:21.44\00:53:25.37
We know that the Holy
angels have got here tonight.
00:53:25.40\00:53:29.26
We know that
they're keeping us safe.
00:53:29.29\00:53:33.11
We know that the
devil is mad tonight
00:53:33.14\00:53:35.20
because the mask has
been torn off his face.
00:53:35.23\00:53:41.51
And tonight Jesus is holding out
His hands to us and He's saying,
00:53:41.54\00:53:46.71
"If you love Me,
keep My commandments."
00:53:46.74\00:53:52.46
Lord, many of us have
just been so we remiss,
00:53:52.49\00:53:58.06
we've been so
indolent in our faith.
00:53:58.09\00:54:02.11
We wanted to be
named Christians,
00:54:02.14\00:54:03.70
but we've never
intended to follow You.
00:54:03.73\00:54:07.35
But tonight, Lord,
we want to tell You,
00:54:07.38\00:54:10.59
by Your grace we're
going to follow You.
00:54:10.62\00:54:14.31
We thank you,
precious Lord, for coming down
00:54:14.34\00:54:19.36
and dying for us on the cross.
00:54:19.39\00:54:23.13
We thank you that You
shed your blood for us,
00:54:23.16\00:54:26.46
so that we can
be saved by grace.
00:54:26.49\00:54:29.84
And tonight, we want to tell you
with that little Australian boy,
00:54:29.87\00:54:36.09
tonight I'm going to
shed my first blood for Jesus.
00:54:36.12\00:54:39.10
I'm going to follow
Christ even if it hurts.
00:54:39.13\00:54:43.37
Bless these dear
people here tonight, Lord.
00:54:43.40\00:54:47.08
As tonight we tell You
that by the grace of God,
00:54:47.11\00:54:51.14
as for me and my house
we will serve the Lord,
00:54:51.17\00:54:57.71
we will get the mark
of God in our foreheads.
00:54:57.74\00:55:01.73
We will go home
to glory with Jesus.
00:55:01.76\00:55:06.00
When the great
test comes upon us
00:55:06.03\00:55:07.78
and it's coming any day soon.
00:55:07.81\00:55:09.51
We are going to stand for Jesus
00:55:09.54\00:55:11.60
then because we made up
our minds for Jesus now.
00:55:11.63\00:55:18.72
Bless these people,
Lord, for Jesus sake, amen.
00:55:18.75\00:55:23.83
The Spirit of
God today is moving.
00:55:27.52\00:55:30.24
He is moving wherever
human hearts sense their need.
00:55:30.27\00:55:33.28
He is moving
whenever and wherever
00:55:33.31\00:55:35.36
souls reach out to Him.
00:55:35.39\00:55:37.23
He is moving because
these are not ordinary times.
00:55:37.26\00:55:40.54
He is moving
through the proclamation
00:55:40.57\00:55:42.80
of His living word.
00:55:42.83\00:55:44.74
During the Port
Moresby meetings,
00:55:44.77\00:55:46.50
the Spirit of God
was powerfully present.
00:55:46.53\00:55:49.40
One evening, as
Pastor John Carter
00:55:49.43\00:55:51.28
spoke about the Holy Spirit
and His work to redeem souls,
00:55:51.31\00:55:54.54
a huge white bird
flew low over the audience.
00:55:54.57\00:55:58.18
The congregation of
more than 100,000 witnessed
00:55:58.21\00:56:00.84
the sight and believed
that God had sent them a sign.
00:56:00.87\00:56:04.79
Tens of thousands poured forward
00:56:04.82\00:56:07.46
to accept Christ
as Lord and Savior.
00:56:07.49\00:56:10.19
God today is calling
you, as you view this program
00:56:10.22\00:56:13.40
to come to Him in faith.
00:56:13.43\00:56:15.19
The work of the Holy
Spirit is not restricted
00:56:15.22\00:56:17.35
to any one place on earth
wherever you are, He is there.
00:56:17.38\00:56:21.87
God loves you.
00:56:21.90\00:56:23.27
He has a plan for you
and a glorious future.
00:56:23.30\00:56:26.19

"You will know the truth
00:57:16.37\00:57:17.74
and the truth
will set you free."
