The following presentation
was made by John Carter
00:00:01.40\00:00:03.52
to a crowd of more
than 100,000 souls.
00:00:03.55\00:00:06.65
This message is one
of a truth filled series
00:00:06.68\00:00:09.74
that was delivered in the
power of God's Holy Spirit
00:00:09.77\00:00:12.70
at the Sir John Guise Stadium,
00:00:12.73\00:00:14.49
Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.
00:00:14.52\00:00:17.01
One night as the evangelist
spoke about the Holy Spirit,
00:00:17.04\00:00:20.41
a giant white bird flew
low over the vast audience.
00:00:20.44\00:00:24.47
And the people rejoiced
that God had visited His people.
00:00:24.50\00:00:28.66
Crowd surged forward to accept
Christ as Lord and Savior.
00:00:28.69\00:00:32.54
A few days later
thousands were baptized
00:00:32.57\00:00:35.26
in the sea at Ela Beach.
00:00:35.29\00:00:37.63
All who attended these
Holy Spirit anointed meetings
00:00:37.66\00:00:40.68
were convinced
that God's word is true
00:00:40.71\00:00:43.48
and His gospel is
still the power of God
00:00:43.51\00:00:46.52
for the salvation
of all who believe.
00:00:46.55\00:00:48.93
The message you're
about to hear and see
00:00:48.96\00:00:51.16
will not leave
you the same person.
00:00:51.19\00:00:54.11
Welcome to the Carter Report
at the Sir John Guise Stadium,
00:00:54.14\00:00:57.93
Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.
00:00:57.96\00:01:02.05
Good evening,
ladies and gentlemen.
00:01:02.08\00:01:04.90
How are you doing this evening?
00:01:04.93\00:01:07.69
Isn't this is a
beautiful night tonight
00:01:07.72\00:01:10.16
and you're
looking beautiful too.
00:01:10.19\00:01:11.71
It's just great to
have you here this evening.
00:01:11.74\00:01:14.21
Now we are going to do something
00:01:14.24\00:01:15.63
just a little,
little different right now.
00:01:15.66\00:01:19.41
People have come
to me around the world
00:01:19.44\00:01:22.33
right here and they
say, "How can I live longer?
00:01:22.36\00:01:27.03
How can I be stronger?
00:01:27.06\00:01:30.12
How can I be full of whim
00:01:30.15\00:01:33.44
and to avoid
cancer and heart disease
00:01:33.47\00:01:36.98
and all of these
awful sicknesses?
00:01:37.01\00:01:39.70
Now, what we're going to
do just for a few minutes,
00:01:39.73\00:01:41.98
we're going to put some
material up here on the screen.
00:01:42.01\00:01:45.55
You know, I've just
got a super theme down here
00:01:45.58\00:01:49.80
and they're going to stop
00:01:49.83\00:01:51.20
putting this up
on the screen now.
00:01:51.23\00:01:52.97
And we're going to talk about
00:01:53.00\00:01:54.37
some of the
amazing secrets of health.
00:01:54.40\00:01:57.51
We're gonna call this
"How Can I Be Healthy?"
00:01:57.54\00:02:03.53
And I want to tell my team,
I'm just gonna stay out here,
00:02:03.56\00:02:06.31
I'm not gonna use any notes,
00:02:06.34\00:02:08.07
and so they'll
have to run with it,
00:02:08.10\00:02:10.14
and I'll just run with them.
00:02:10.17\00:02:11.57
How about that? All right?
00:02:11.60\00:02:13.42
So we're just gonna get
them to put it up on the screen.
00:02:13.45\00:02:17.31
The first thing, if
you want to be healthy is,
00:02:17.34\00:02:20.95
"Believe in Jesus."
00:02:20.98\00:02:23.54
Let me tell you why?
00:02:23.57\00:02:25.76
If you believe in Jesus,
you're going to have peace.
00:02:25.79\00:02:29.96
There is a text.
00:02:29.99\00:02:31.36
I think, it's John
15, I think I got it here.
00:02:31.39\00:02:35.73
Oh, John 16. I wasn't
too far off. John 16:33.
00:02:35.76\00:02:40.58
"I have told you these things,
00:02:40.61\00:02:42.66
so that in me
you may have peace.
00:02:42.69\00:02:45.95
In this world you
will have trouble.
00:02:45.98\00:02:49.31
But take heart! I
have overcome the world."
00:02:49.34\00:02:54.05
There is nothing that
will destroy a man or a woman
00:02:54.08\00:02:59.55
quicker than a sense of
anger and hatred and guilt.
00:02:59.58\00:03:07.08
You see, lots of anger
on the roads, don't you?
00:03:07.11\00:03:10.30
Somebody is
driving around the road
00:03:10.33\00:03:12.13
and maybe somebody cuts him off
00:03:12.16\00:03:14.25
and that person gets real mad
00:03:14.28\00:03:16.39
and they want to
fight each other.
00:03:16.42\00:03:19.93
This is not good
for people's health.
00:03:19.96\00:03:22.07
It puts up their blood pressure,
it's bad for the heart,
00:03:22.10\00:03:25.44
but if you know Jesus as
your Lord and your Savior,
00:03:25.47\00:03:30.90
you're going to
have a marvelous peace
00:03:30.93\00:03:35.07
and that peace is
good for your body
00:03:35.10\00:03:38.17
and that peace is
good for your soul.
00:03:38.20\00:03:41.25
And here comes the next
point. "Eat with wisdom."
00:03:41.28\00:03:48.01
What on earth does this
mean to eat with wisdom?
00:03:48.04\00:03:53.61
Can't you just eat
anything you want to?
00:03:53.64\00:03:56.75
Now, folks, I've been
doing this work as I told you
00:03:56.78\00:03:59.93
since I was a
young man out of college.
00:03:59.96\00:04:03.51
I've been doing this work
now for more than 50 years.
00:04:03.54\00:04:09.37
And I've got the
peace of God in my heart
00:04:09.40\00:04:11.12
because I believe in Jesus.
00:04:11.15\00:04:13.40
But by the grace of God, I
try to follow the great truths
00:04:13.43\00:04:18.70
that are taught in the
Bible concerning what to eat.
00:04:18.73\00:04:22.26
If you practice these,
you're going to cut down
00:04:22.29\00:04:25.48
your chance of getting cancer
00:04:25.51\00:04:27.78
and heart disease
in a remarkable way.
00:04:27.81\00:04:30.46
Now look at this, then God said.
00:04:30.49\00:04:32.33
This is back in Genesis 1:29.
00:04:32.36\00:04:36.61
"God said, 'I give you
every seed-bearing plant
00:04:36.64\00:04:40.89
on the face of the whole earth
00:04:40.92\00:04:43.49
and every tree that
has fruit with seed in it.
00:04:43.52\00:04:49.36
They will be yours for food.'"
00:04:49.39\00:04:51.80
The Bible tells us, if
you want to be healthy,
00:04:51.83\00:04:54.93
try to eat a lot of
fruit and eat nuts as well.
00:04:54.96\00:05:00.39
And then the Bible a
little bit later on said,
00:05:00.42\00:05:03.15
"Eat the green
leafy vegetables."
00:05:03.18\00:05:06.85
We now know research
that has been carried out
00:05:06.88\00:05:10.41
in some of the
greatest hospitals
00:05:10.44\00:05:13.44
and universities
in the world tell us
00:05:13.47\00:05:16.50
that if you eat those foods,
00:05:16.53\00:05:19.65
those foods are going
to help to stop cancer
00:05:19.68\00:05:24.41
getting a hold on your body.
00:05:24.44\00:05:27.91
And the Bible
tells us these things
00:05:27.94\00:05:30.21
because God
wants you to be happy,
00:05:30.24\00:05:33.12
God wants you to be healthy
00:05:33.15\00:05:34.77
because God loves
you and God loves me.
00:05:34.80\00:05:38.30
So eat with wisdom.
00:05:38.33\00:05:40.82
And it says here, number
three, "Eat clean foods."
00:05:40.85\00:05:47.71
What on earth does
that mean eat clean foods?
00:05:47.74\00:05:53.15
Well, there is a text in
the Book of Leviticus 11.
00:05:53.18\00:05:57.45
I'm going to
read this slow to you,
00:05:57.48\00:05:59.82
but I want you all
to think about this.
00:05:59.85\00:06:02.92
"Say to the
Israelites, 'Of all the animals
00:06:02.95\00:06:06.32
that live on the land,
these are the ones you may eat.
00:06:06.35\00:06:12.05
You may eat any
animal that has a split hoof
00:06:12.08\00:06:15.65
completely divided
and that chews the cud.'"
00:06:15.68\00:06:20.39
What sort of animal is that?
00:06:20.42\00:06:23.87
Well, that's a cow, that's
a sheep, and that's a goat.
00:06:23.90\00:06:29.64
But the Bible says,
00:06:29.67\00:06:31.20
"The animals that don't do
those things are unclean to you
00:06:31.23\00:06:36.75
because they will
cause you to get disease."
00:06:36.78\00:06:42.06
"These are some
that only chew the cud
00:06:42.09\00:06:44.75
or only have a split
hoof, but you must not eat them.
00:06:44.78\00:06:48.63
The camel, who would
want to eat a camel anyhow.
00:06:48.66\00:06:51.59
"The camel,
though it chews the cud,
00:06:51.62\00:06:54.28
does not have a split hoof.
00:06:54.31\00:06:57.73
It is
ceremonially unclean to you.
00:06:57.76\00:07:01.82
'The coney,' that's
like a little rabbit,
00:07:01.85\00:07:04.05
"though it chews the cud,
does not have a split hoof.
00:07:04.08\00:07:07.35
It is unclean for you.
00:07:07.38\00:07:09.09
The rabbit,
though it chews the cud,
00:07:09.12\00:07:11.42
does not have a split hoof.
00:07:11.45\00:07:14.12
It is unclean for you.
00:07:14.15\00:07:16.07
And the pig, all though it has
a split hoof completely divided,
00:07:16.10\00:07:22.20
does not chew the cud.
00:07:22.23\00:07:24.82
It is unclean for you.
00:07:24.85\00:07:26.99
You must not eat their
meat or touch their carcasses.
00:07:27.02\00:07:32.08
They are unclean for you."
00:07:32.11\00:07:34.05
Because these
animals help cause disease.
00:07:34.08\00:07:38.22
"Of all the creatures
living in the water of the sea
00:07:38.25\00:07:41.24
and the streams you may eat
any that have fins and scales.
00:07:41.27\00:07:47.76
But all creatures
in the seas or streams
00:07:47.79\00:07:52.23
that do not have fins
and scales-whether among
00:07:52.26\00:07:56.74
all the swarming
things or among all the other
00:07:56.77\00:07:59.87
living creatures in the
water-you are to detest.'"
00:07:59.90\00:08:06.14
I'm going to tell you something
00:08:06.17\00:08:08.74
that the smartest people
in the world now realized.
00:08:08.77\00:08:14.49
If you and I
follow the great truths
00:08:14.52\00:08:17.45
that are taught in the Bible,
we are going to live longer,
00:08:17.48\00:08:21.58
we are going to feel better,
00:08:21.61\00:08:24.04
and we're not going
to have the cancers,
00:08:24.07\00:08:26.92
and the heart
disease, and everything else
00:08:26.95\00:08:29.89
that unbelievers suffer from.
00:08:29.92\00:08:32.49
Now I know that
Christians also get sick.
00:08:32.52\00:08:35.98
I know this.
00:08:36.01\00:08:37.38
But if you follow the
health laws of the Bible,
00:08:37.41\00:08:40.25
you're going to be healthier,
you're going to be stronger,
00:08:40.28\00:08:43.64
you're going to look younger,
00:08:43.67\00:08:45.47
and you're going to have
a tremendous inner vitality.
00:08:45.50\00:08:50.82
Now here's the next point.
00:08:50.85\00:08:53.94
Now I can't give you
the text on this one,
00:08:53.97\00:08:56.30
but I put this in here
just for your interest.
00:08:56.33\00:08:59.72
"Avoid lots of starchy foods."
00:08:59.75\00:09:03.91
If you eat a lot
of starchy foods.
00:09:03.94\00:09:06.00
I know what I'm talking
about because I study a lot
00:09:06.03\00:09:09.57
and I use this matter
up here between my ears
00:09:09.60\00:09:14.51
and I know if I eat
a lot of starchy food,
00:09:14.54\00:09:18.13
a little while after
I've eaten the starchy food,
00:09:18.16\00:09:21.18
I feel as though I
want to go to sleep.
00:09:21.21\00:09:27.66
And so we now know from
the United States of America,
00:09:27.69\00:09:31.21
from Australia and
from the great universities
00:09:31.24\00:09:34.66
that the health laws of
the Bible are absolutely true
00:09:34.69\00:09:40.05
and God has given us these
health laws because He loves us.
00:09:40.08\00:09:43.80
Now we're going to
go to something else.
00:09:43.83\00:09:46.70
Your body--or what does
the Bible say about the body?
00:09:46.73\00:09:52.74
Well, there is a text
in the Book of Corinthians,
00:09:52.77\00:09:55.03
it says, "Don't you know that
you yourselves are God's temple
00:09:55.06\00:10:02.67
and that God's
Spirit lives in you?
00:10:02.70\00:10:06.55
If anyone destroys God's
temple, God will destroy him,
00:10:06.58\00:10:13.25
for God's temple is sacred,
and you are that temple."
00:10:13.28\00:10:17.55
Now look at me
for a moment, please.
00:10:17.58\00:10:20.90
The Bible tells me.
This is not my idea.
00:10:20.93\00:10:24.56
This is the
teaching of God's word.
00:10:24.59\00:10:26.94
The Bible says,
"This body is sacred.
00:10:26.97\00:10:31.52
It is the temple
for the Holy Spirit."
00:10:31.55\00:10:34.83
And the Bible says, "You ought
to take care of the temple."
00:10:34.86\00:10:39.39
And the Bible says, "If
you defile the temple of God--"
00:10:39.42\00:10:43.91
The Bible says, "If you
destroy the temple of God,
00:10:43.94\00:10:48.81
God will destroy you."
00:10:48.84\00:10:52.41
That is why, my friend,
I don't smoke cigarettes.
00:10:52.44\00:10:58.31
We now know that millions
of people around the world.
00:10:58.34\00:11:03.26
You say,
million? Yeah, millions.
00:11:03.29\00:11:06.10
Millions and millions of people
around the world die every year
00:11:06.13\00:11:11.73
because they smoke tobacco.
00:11:11.76\00:11:15.01
Tobacco defiles
the temple of God.
00:11:15.04\00:11:19.54
And God wants you to keep
your temple for the Holy Spirit.
00:11:19.57\00:11:25.72
Now I'm going to say something
00:11:25.75\00:11:27.61
that I don't want
to offend anybody,
00:11:27.64\00:11:30.50
but I'm going to say
it because I love you.
00:11:30.53\00:11:34.35
A Christian because he knows
00:11:34.38\00:11:36.90
that the body is
the temple of God
00:11:36.93\00:11:39.88
will not put into that body
00:11:39.91\00:11:41.73
anything that's
going to defile it.
00:11:41.76\00:11:44.61
Such as, drugs.
00:11:44.64\00:11:48.20
One of the greatest
problems today in the world
00:11:48.23\00:11:51.07
and in America, in
Australia, in Russia
00:11:51.10\00:11:54.87
right around the world
is the misuse of drugs.
00:11:54.90\00:12:00.36
Taking marijuana, even taking
some of those terribly awful
00:12:00.39\00:12:06.03
hard drugs that
defiled the temple of God
00:12:06.06\00:12:10.08
and that sends the
mind absolutely crazy.
00:12:10.11\00:12:14.24
Now I'm going to say
something here tonight
00:12:14.27\00:12:16.63
and I don't want
you to be offended
00:12:16.66\00:12:19.07
just because betel nut is legal,
00:12:19.10\00:12:22.71
it doesn't make it right.
00:12:22.74\00:12:25.57
Betel nut is a drug that defiles
the body, the temple of God.
00:12:25.60\00:12:32.99
And I want you to know tonight,
God tells us these things,
00:12:33.02\00:12:37.01
not so that we'll have to
give up anything that is good,
00:12:37.04\00:12:40.86
but God wants you to
live longer, look better,
00:12:40.89\00:12:44.97
feel fitter and just
beyond top of the world
00:12:45.00\00:12:50.30
and filled with
peace, and filled with joy,
00:12:50.33\00:12:54.07
and filled with happiness.
00:12:54.10\00:12:56.00
And I tell you this tonight
00:12:56.03\00:12:57.78
because God
loves you and so do I.
00:12:57.81\00:13:03.57
Now, hey, how old
do you think I am?
00:13:08.29\00:13:13.66
I'll tell you.
00:13:16.58\00:13:17.95
Do you wanna know how old I am?
00:13:17.98\00:13:20.32
Hey, will you tell
me how old you are then?
00:13:20.35\00:13:23.60
I want every person here tonight
to tell me how old he is,
00:13:23.63\00:13:26.18
how old are you?
00:13:26.21\00:13:28.48
Well, there is
someone down here is 7.
00:13:28.51\00:13:31.33
Okay, do you
think I'm doing okay?
00:13:31.36\00:13:35.22
Do you think I'm--when
I'm running these lectures,
00:13:35.25\00:13:37.89
do you think I'm doing
okay that I've got energy?
00:13:37.92\00:13:40.40
Yeah! Okay, I am 73.
00:13:40.43\00:13:43.43
And I've been--I've been
doing this work for 50 years.
00:13:47.28\00:13:52.54
And I want to tell
you something else.
00:13:52.57\00:13:54.73
Are you ready for this? Yeah!
00:13:54.76\00:13:56.54
All right, you need to exercise.
00:13:56.57\00:14:00.02
Everyday I walk
and run 3 or 4 miles,
00:14:00.05\00:14:05.10
that's about 6 to
7 or 8 kilometers.
00:14:05.13\00:14:10.40
I do it religiously.
00:14:10.43\00:14:12.43
I'm up early in the
morning and here in PNG,
00:14:12.46\00:14:15.75
I'm staying at Pacific Adventist
University and I exercise there.
00:14:15.78\00:14:21.75
And back in the United States,
I've got a big elliptical
00:14:21.78\00:14:25.34
and I work that
for 30 minutes a day.
00:14:25.37\00:14:28.61
I burn up about--I burn up
about 400 calories doing this,
00:14:28.64\00:14:34.78
and then I exercise also by
going for walks and by running.
00:14:34.81\00:14:40.64
Listen to me, if you exercise,
00:14:40.67\00:14:44.99
it's going to help
you to avoid cancer.
00:14:45.02\00:14:47.20
We know--we
know this for a fact.
00:14:47.53\00:14:49.21
If you exercise, it's going
to make your hearts strong.
00:14:49.24\00:14:52.77
If you exercise, it's
going to give you energy.
00:14:52.80\00:14:56.41
And the best
people in the world today,
00:14:56.44\00:14:58.77
the best minds,
the best scholars,
00:14:58.80\00:15:03.21
the smartest
people are the people
00:15:03.24\00:15:06.15
who obey the Commandments of God
00:15:06.18\00:15:09.46
and who follow
the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:15:09.49\00:15:13.79
So I want you to
know this tonight.
00:15:13.82\00:15:15.73
If you come--because
you come to these meetings,
00:15:15.76\00:15:19.47
if you will put into practice,
00:15:19.50\00:15:21.37
what you've heard
in these meetings,
00:15:21.40\00:15:23.26
you're going to be the
most successful people in PNG.
00:15:23.29\00:15:27.99
You're going to be the head.
00:15:28.02\00:15:30.11
You're going to be
the most successful,
00:15:30.14\00:15:32.91
the most healthy,
the most prosperous
00:15:32.94\00:15:35.74
and the wealthiest
people in all of PNG
00:15:35.77\00:15:39.15
because God is
going to bless you
00:15:39.18\00:15:42.13
because you obey
His commandments.
00:15:42.16\00:15:46.27
This is just the truth.
00:15:46.30\00:15:49.26
Now, ladies and gentlemen,

Let me hear it. Yes!
00:21:08.08\00:21:10.68
God is good. All the time!
00:21:10.71\00:21:12.98
All the time. God is good.
00:21:13.01\00:21:15.50
Maranatha. Jesus is coming!
00:21:15.53\00:21:18.36
Jesus is coming. Maranatha!
00:21:18.39\00:21:21.01
Hallelujah. Praise the Lord!
00:21:21.04\00:21:24.22
Hey, you are just a
super great audience.
00:21:24.25\00:21:27.70
Now let me tell you
this right from my heart.
00:21:27.73\00:21:31.65
This meeting tonight is not
important, it is beyond that.
00:21:31.68\00:21:38.68
I'm going to talk about
00:21:38.71\00:21:40.08
how to have freedom from
guilt, and fear, and sin?
00:21:40.11\00:21:45.80
How you can know
that you are saved
00:21:45.83\00:21:50.04
and you have passed
from death unto life?
00:21:50.07\00:21:53.18
How you can know for certainty
that you're going to go a home
00:21:53.21\00:21:58.34
with Jesus to paradise?
00:21:58.37\00:22:00.95
And so I want to say tonight,
I'm just so glad you're here
00:22:00.98\00:22:04.89
because this meeting is
going to touch your heart.
00:22:04.92\00:22:08.29
People's lives are
going to be changed tonight.
00:22:08.32\00:22:11.98
And tonight, I
believe the Spirit of God
00:22:12.01\00:22:14.75
is going to come
into this meeting
00:22:14.78\00:22:16.68
and God is going
to bless this meeting
00:22:16.71\00:22:19.20
with His tremendous power.
00:22:19.23\00:22:21.36
Can you say amen
to that my friend?
00:22:21.39\00:22:24.06
Amen! Now we
have with us tonight
00:22:24.09\00:22:27.54
a great leader of the
Christian Church in PNG.
00:22:27.57\00:22:33.05
He is an old friend. He
is a warrior of the cross.
00:22:33.08\00:22:38.70
Please, welcome
Pastor Tony Kemo.
00:22:38.73\00:22:42.46
I want to complement
you tonight, Pastor Kemo.
00:22:50.32\00:22:53.50
Oh, what a magnificent audience
00:22:53.53\00:22:56.42
as the Queen of
Sheba said to Solomon,
00:22:56.45\00:22:58.85
"The half was not told."
00:22:58.88\00:23:01.91
I've never spoken the sweeter,
00:23:01.94\00:23:04.43
nicer people than the
people here in Port Moresby,
00:23:04.46\00:23:07.97
and we have had huge
magnificent wonderful crowds.
00:23:08.00\00:23:13.68
And I want to thank
you for inviting us to PNG
00:23:13.71\00:23:17.62
because you were the
person who got everything going
00:23:17.65\00:23:21.31
and I want you to know
that we are deeply grateful
00:23:21.34\00:23:24.80
from our hearts to you,
and we thank you tonight.
00:23:24.83\00:23:29.19
Now we want you to stand
00:23:29.22\00:23:30.73
and we're going
to have the prayer.
00:23:30.76\00:23:37.91
"Our gracious and
loving Father in Heaven,
00:23:37.94\00:23:43.30
we bow before
your awesome presence,
00:23:43.33\00:23:46.89
acknowledging Your
majesty and Your greatness.
00:23:46.92\00:23:52.42
We want to praise You and
thank You that Jesus Christ
00:23:52.45\00:23:58.05
is the same
yesterday, today and forever.
00:23:58.08\00:24:03.41
We praise You and thank You
00:24:03.44\00:24:05.86
for the wonderful
country that we have.
00:24:05.89\00:24:09.50
Our government
allows the freedom
00:24:09.53\00:24:13.17
of worship and fellowship.
00:24:13.20\00:24:15.60
The freedom of speech
that Your word can be proclaim
00:24:15.63\00:24:20.46
by Your anointed servant to
reach the hearts of every person
00:24:20.49\00:24:26.02
who is here tonight
in this vast auditorium.
00:24:26.05\00:24:31.99
We thank You, Heavenly Father,
00:24:32.02\00:24:36.03
that You have given
us a wonderful health
00:24:36.06\00:24:39.47
and because of that good health
00:24:39.50\00:24:42.02
that we can
travel from far and near
00:24:42.05\00:24:45.85
to come to meet with You,
and meet with Your servant
00:24:45.88\00:24:52.21
who is anointed by
God the Holy Spirit
00:24:52.24\00:24:56.36
to proclaim Your words of
love that will drove everyone
00:24:56.39\00:25:01.86
to the Lord
Jesus Christ tonight.
00:25:01.89\00:25:05.09
In our earnest plea
tonight is Heavenly Father
00:25:05.12\00:25:10.10
as the word of God reaches out,
00:25:10.13\00:25:14.90
God the Holy Spirit
who is already at work
00:25:14.93\00:25:19.42
will touch the lives of
the people and change them
00:25:19.45\00:25:24.09
into Your own
image, so that everyone
00:25:24.12\00:25:28.21
as they move away from
this meeting place tonight
00:25:28.24\00:25:32.00
that they will know that
they are never the same again
00:25:32.03\00:25:35.92
because You've
touched them with Your love
00:25:35.95\00:25:39.35
and You have touched them with
Your power that changed them
00:25:39.38\00:25:43.59
to be obedience to do Your will.
00:25:43.62\00:25:46.88
Thank You, Heavenly
Father, for listening to us.
00:25:46.91\00:25:49.96
May You bless this
vast audience tonight
00:25:49.99\00:25:53.92
and as Your word
touch each one of them,
00:25:53.95\00:25:58.20
they will go away knowing
that they have found Jesus
00:25:58.23\00:26:02.81
in this meeting place.
00:26:02.84\00:26:05.02
Thank You for listening to us in
Your wonderful name, amen. Amen.
00:26:05.05\00:26:09.83
Paul, the
evangelist says in the Bible
00:26:12.50\00:26:15.00
that "God will finish His work
00:26:15.03\00:26:16.51
and cut it short
in righteousness."
00:26:16.54\00:26:19.00
The prophet Joel says,
"God will pour out His Spirit
00:26:19.03\00:26:21.84
in the last days, and
signs and wonders will follow."
00:26:21.87\00:26:24.97
The Carter Report believes
that we are now in the end times
00:26:25.00\00:26:28.90
and His Spirit
is moving mightily.
00:26:28.93\00:26:31.53
During the Port
Moresby campaign,
00:26:31.56\00:26:33.70
we testify that we saw
the power of God revealed.
00:26:33.73\00:26:37.57
God-hungry souls
00:26:37.60\00:26:40.33
could not get enough
of the word of the Lord.
00:26:40.36\00:26:43.19
As at creation, the
Spirit of God moved upon
00:26:43.22\00:26:46.76
the face of the waters and
God brought cosmos out of chaos.
00:26:46.79\00:26:51.71
Souls were recreated in
the image of the Creator.
00:26:51.74\00:26:55.39
Instead of hate, there was love.
00:26:55.42\00:26:57.55
Instead of
despair, there was hope.
00:26:57.58\00:26:59.60
Instead of
sorrow, there was joy.
00:26:59.63\00:27:01.96
And in the place of
death, God gave life.
00:27:01.99\00:27:05.40
One night, as John
Carter preached on the person
00:27:05.43\00:27:08.29
and work of the Holy Spirit,
the image of a white bird
00:27:08.32\00:27:11.35
was flashed on the screens.
00:27:11.38\00:27:13.20
At that moment,
a great white bird
00:27:13.23\00:27:15.50
flew low over the
astonished congregation.
00:27:15.53\00:27:18.70
Cries of joy filled the
air, as the audience recognized
00:27:18.73\00:27:22.43
that God had visited His people.
00:27:22.46\00:27:24.54
A mighty surge of Pentecostal
power swept the audience
00:27:24.57\00:27:28.10
of 120,000 souls
and everyone present
00:27:28.13\00:27:32.37
felt the warmth
comforting presence of God.
00:27:32.40\00:27:36.03
The Carter
Report team invites you,
00:27:36.06\00:27:37.73
my dear viewer, to be
a partner in this work.
00:27:37.76\00:27:40.91

00:28:06.01\00:28:10.83
I want you to know this
tonight, I want to talk to you,
00:28:14.02\00:28:17.70
I don't care
who you are tonight,
00:28:17.73\00:28:19.93
we are all sinners.
00:28:19.96\00:28:25.20
And the evidence of our sin
is manifested in so many ways,
00:28:25.23\00:28:32.42
but the Bible tells
me, "Thank God, hallelujah.
00:28:32.45\00:28:36.89
There is a cure for
the deadly virus of sin."
00:28:36.92\00:28:42.14
The Bible tells me that God
00:28:42.17\00:28:46.70
became a man, hallelujah.
00:28:46.73\00:28:51.46
I want you to
notice Romans 5:6-8.
00:28:51.49\00:28:58.44
Book of Romans written
by the great Apostle Paul.
00:28:58.47\00:29:04.18
Romans 5, "You see, he said.
00:29:04.21\00:29:08.02
At just the right time,
when we were still powerless,
00:29:08.05\00:29:12.98
Christ died for the ungodly."
00:29:13.01\00:29:15.68
You may say tonight,
"I've been ungodly person,
00:29:15.71\00:29:19.25
nobody cares about me."
00:29:19.28\00:29:20.86
Christ died for the ungodly.
00:29:20.89\00:29:23.61
"Very rarely will
anyone die for a righteous man,
00:29:23.64\00:29:29.14
though for a good man someone
might possibly dare to die.
00:29:29.17\00:29:36.04
But God demonstrates
his own love for us in this,
00:29:36.07\00:29:39.46
while we were still sinners,
00:29:39.49\00:29:44.05
Christ died for us."
00:29:44.08\00:29:48.03
I want to tell you
tonight that the greatest news
00:29:48.06\00:29:51.18
that this poor all world
needs tonight is the good news
00:29:51.21\00:29:56.06
that God love us
and He gave His own Son.
00:29:56.09\00:30:00.80
The Bible tells us that God,
00:30:00.83\00:30:03.42
the Creator of the
universe became a man
00:30:03.45\00:30:07.48
and He came down to this earth.
00:30:07.51\00:30:11.98
I want you to
try to take this in.
00:30:12.01\00:30:14.41
It's an incomprehensible truth,
00:30:14.44\00:30:17.32
but the Bible teaches
the God, the great Creator.
00:30:17.35\00:30:22.66
Look at that screen, would you?
00:30:22.69\00:30:26.91
God the great
Creator, the Almighty Yahweh,
00:30:26.94\00:30:33.32
Elohim was born of
the blessed Virgin Mary.
00:30:33.35\00:30:40.38
God became a man.
00:30:40.41\00:30:42.59
And the Bible tells
us, "He walked among us
00:30:42.62\00:30:46.03
and He showed us all that
compassion and all that love."
00:30:46.06\00:30:49.92
And the Bible tells
us, "He went to the cross
00:30:49.95\00:30:54.07
and paid for all of our sins
with His own precious blood."
00:30:54.10\00:30:58.63
There is a cure.
00:30:58.66\00:31:01.12
It is the blood of Jesus Christ.
00:31:01.15\00:31:04.48
Listen...there is
a text in the Bible,
00:31:04.51\00:31:10.27
and it's a greatest
text, and I'm sure that most
00:31:10.30\00:31:13.83
of you know the
text, but I am going
00:31:13.86\00:31:17.26
to put it up on the screen.
00:31:17.29\00:31:20.86
It's God's
message to you tonight.
00:31:20.89\00:31:23.43
Look at it. "For
God so loved the world."
00:31:23.46\00:31:27.70
He so loved PNG.
00:31:27.73\00:31:30.46
He so loved the thief.
00:31:30.49\00:31:32.87
He so loved the
adulterer, the fornicator,
00:31:32.90\00:31:36.36
the liar, the cheat.
00:31:36.39\00:31:38.29
The Bible says, "For
God so loved the world
00:31:38.32\00:31:44.88
that he gave his
one and only Son,
00:31:44.91\00:31:49.65
that whoever believes
in him shall not perish
00:31:49.68\00:31:53.66
but have,
hallelujah, eternal life."
00:31:53.69\00:31:58.69
Listen, just listen.
00:31:58.72\00:32:03.93
Did you know this?
00:32:03.96\00:32:07.07
If you had been the only sinner,
00:32:07.10\00:32:11.09
God would have come
down and died for you.
00:32:11.12\00:32:16.23
You say I can't believe it.
00:32:16.26\00:32:18.32
It is the truth.
00:32:18.35\00:32:20.77
If there had been only one
00:32:20.80\00:32:24.08
lost soul and he lived in PNG,
00:32:24.11\00:32:29.12
God would have become a
man and died on the cross
00:32:29.15\00:32:34.91
for that one lost soul.
00:32:34.94\00:32:40.83
I want you to know tonight
the heart of God loves you.
00:32:40.86\00:32:48.17
You may say, God doesn't
care about me, that's not true.
00:32:48.20\00:32:52.05
You may say, God
doesn't care about
00:32:52.08\00:32:54.17
my family, that's not true.
00:32:54.20\00:32:55.90
God knows all about you.
00:32:55.93\00:32:58.00
Jesus said the
very hairs of your head
00:32:58.03\00:33:02.10
are all numbered He
says, "I have loved you
00:33:02.13\00:33:07.05
with an everlasting love."
00:33:07.08\00:33:10.47
Listen to this.
00:33:10.50\00:33:13.79
In Russia, where
I've been 42 times.
00:33:13.82\00:33:19.65
The communist set up the Gaelic,
00:33:19.68\00:33:23.41
a system of concentration camps
00:33:23.44\00:33:29.16
right out of hell.
00:33:29.19\00:33:33.01
Large number of
these concentration camps
00:33:33.04\00:33:37.06
run by the
atheists and the communists.
00:33:37.09\00:33:42.90
And in these camps
they use to torture people
00:33:42.93\00:33:46.22
particularly Christians,
00:33:46.25\00:33:49.01
the atheists tortured them.
00:33:49.04\00:33:55.50
On one occasion some
communist guards were torturing
00:33:55.53\00:34:00.48
a poor atheist
and he was cursing
00:34:00.51\00:34:04.47
and he was blaspheming.
00:34:04.50\00:34:08.56
And a Christian said,
I want you to do it to me
00:34:08.59\00:34:13.52
and let this man go free.
00:34:13.55\00:34:17.55
And the guard
said, "Are you crazy?
00:34:17.58\00:34:21.76
Are you a born fool?"
00:34:21.79\00:34:27.43
The Christian
said, if you torture me,
00:34:27.46\00:34:32.39
I will cry because
the pain will be great
00:34:32.42\00:34:36.62
but I'll ask God to
bless you and the blessing
00:34:36.65\00:34:41.84
will go out into the
world, but when you torture
00:34:41.87\00:34:45.10
an unbeliever the
world becomes more poisoned.
00:34:45.13\00:34:51.68
So those
Christians in the Gaelic
00:34:51.71\00:34:54.56
would take the
curses upon themselves
00:34:54.59\00:34:58.94
and they would be
tortured, that's what Jesus did.
00:34:58.97\00:35:06.08
Jesus was tortured for you.
00:35:06.11\00:35:09.84
He went to the cross for you.
00:35:09.87\00:35:12.02
He went through pain
and suffering for you.
00:35:12.05\00:35:16.87
He bore the sin of the world.
00:35:16.90\00:35:20.95
It crushed his soul.
00:35:20.98\00:35:23.28
It killed Him in a few hours.
00:35:23.31\00:35:25.83
My friend, will you not
believe in Him, I ask you?
00:35:25.86\00:35:31.02
Will this not soften
our hard stony hearts?
00:35:31.05\00:35:35.40
Some of us here tonight
00:35:35.43\00:35:37.01
I know have got
hard unyielding hearts.
00:35:37.04\00:35:43.24
I want you to think,
how much He loves you.
00:35:43.27\00:35:49.63
Bishop Fulton
Sheen when he spoke about
00:35:49.66\00:35:52.31
the cross said these words.
00:35:52.34\00:35:56.17
For one brief moment
in time he was unfold
00:35:56.20\00:36:04.11
on the cross
like a wounded eagle.
00:36:04.14\00:36:08.82
He went to the cross
00:36:13.66\00:36:15.93
to pay the price of our sins.
00:36:15.96\00:36:22.41
What really
happened on the cross?
00:36:22.44\00:36:27.27
He was a strong young man.
00:36:27.30\00:36:30.55
He was used to hard work.
00:36:30.58\00:36:32.66
He was not lazy.
00:36:32.69\00:36:35.29
He was sun tender and muscular.
00:36:35.32\00:36:41.33
He became a preacher
00:36:41.36\00:36:43.03
then the tide of popular
opinion turned against Him.
00:36:43.06\00:36:46.99
The religious leaders
handed Him over to the Romans.
00:36:47.02\00:36:54.53
And then they took
Him and they tried Him,
00:36:54.56\00:36:58.08
it was a
kangaroo caught and then
00:36:58.11\00:37:01.20
they put Him on the Roman cross.
00:37:01.23\00:37:04.46
Who was this man?
00:37:04.49\00:37:09.25
This man was God in flesh.
00:37:09.28\00:37:12.39
This was El Shaddai,
this was Yahweh Elohim,
00:37:12.42\00:37:16.94
this was the Almighty God
who would come down from heaven
00:37:16.97\00:37:21.59
and who was bearing our
sins, He was bearing our shame
00:37:21.62\00:37:26.83
and He was wearing it all
in His own body on the tree.
00:37:26.86\00:37:30.84
Listen, on the
cross He cried out.
00:37:30.87\00:37:37.01
"My God, my God, why
have You forsaken me?
00:37:39.12\00:37:45.49
You say to me, but
this is not the cry of a man
00:37:45.52\00:37:49.92
with peace in his heart.
00:37:49.95\00:37:51.57
This is not the
cry of a Christian
00:37:51.60\00:37:55.43
who is right with
God and who is dying.
00:37:55.46\00:37:59.07
This is not the
cry of a righteous man.
00:37:59.10\00:38:03.28
This is the cry
of a great sinner.
00:38:03.31\00:38:08.05
On the cross
Jesus, the sinless man
00:38:12.45\00:38:19.37
took all our sins upon Him.
00:38:19.40\00:38:24.76
And the Father judged
him for John Carter's sin.
00:38:24.79\00:38:29.96
He was judged on the
cross and He was judged
00:38:29.99\00:38:34.98
guilty, guilty, guilty God said.
00:38:35.01\00:38:39.55
God said let the
judgment fall upon My Son
00:38:39.58\00:38:45.44
and he could not
see His Father's face
00:38:45.47\00:38:49.61
and in agony He
cried out "My God, my God,
00:38:49.64\00:38:54.91
why have you forsaken me?"
00:38:54.94\00:38:59.22
He did not die as a Christian.
00:38:59.25\00:39:03.03
He died as a lost soul...
00:39:03.06\00:39:10.35
even though He
was the Son of God.
00:39:10.38\00:39:14.67
Who was this man?
00:39:14.70\00:39:16.88
This man was the
creator of the universe.
00:39:16.91\00:39:22.58
I'm going to come over
here to the blackboard.
00:39:25.41\00:39:29.01
We're gonna have a
camera come with me
00:39:29.04\00:39:31.30
and I'm going to put off
an illustration of the cross
00:39:31.33\00:39:35.88
and you will be able
to see it even though
00:39:35.91\00:39:38.06
you're sitting way back,
you will be able to see it
00:39:38.09\00:39:41.55
on the giant screens.
00:39:41.58\00:39:45.17
Here we have
the Cross of Christ.
00:39:45.20\00:39:50.65
Up here on this
side we put Christ,
00:39:50.68\00:39:55.54
the sinless Son of God.
00:39:55.57\00:39:57.53
And over here we
put "Us", you and me.
00:39:57.56\00:40:03.33
Christ was sinless.
00:40:03.36\00:40:07.51
He never committed a sin.
00:40:07.54\00:40:09.30
We are sinful.
00:40:09.33\00:40:15.20
I want you to know this.
00:40:15.23\00:40:16.65
He was sinless
and we are sinful.
00:40:16.68\00:40:20.51
He had perfect righteousness.
00:40:20.54\00:40:26.69
There was no sin in
Him, He was perfectly
00:40:26.72\00:40:30.65
and totally innocent
and holy, He was immaculate.
00:40:30.68\00:40:37.04
But over on this side
"Us" we are unrighteous.
00:40:37.07\00:40:43.03
The Bible says, "There is
none righteous no not one."
00:40:43.06\00:40:50.23
And Christ had
perfect peace and perfect joy
00:40:50.26\00:40:54.67
because He was right with God.
00:40:54.70\00:40:56.94
And Christ enjoyed
everlasting life in communion
00:40:56.97\00:41:02.96
with His Holy Father,
and because we are sinful
00:41:02.99\00:41:07.25
and unrighteous, we
will have eternal death
00:41:07.28\00:41:12.18
unless Christ will save us.
00:41:12.21\00:41:16.94
I want you to know tonight,
if you and I die in our sins,
00:41:16.97\00:41:23.30
if we die with
hate in our hearts,
00:41:23.33\00:41:27.15
if we die with malice, if
we die in our fornication,
00:41:27.18\00:41:32.31
the Bible tells us that we
will experience eternal death
00:41:32.34\00:41:36.80
and we will be raised in
the judgment of the unrighteous
00:41:36.83\00:41:41.97
and we will then taste
the hell of the last stage
00:41:42.00\00:41:47.05
that is mentioned and
described in the Bible.
00:41:47.08\00:41:51.28
But now I want to come
here to come back with me
00:41:51.31\00:41:53.68
and I want you
see what happened.
00:41:53.71\00:41:56.36
On the cross, Jesus
Christ came and stood over here,
00:41:56.39\00:42:03.03
He took our place
and in the side of a holy
00:42:03.06\00:42:07.24
and a righteous
God, Christ became
00:42:07.27\00:42:10.93
in the side of
God, sinful, unrighteous
00:42:10.96\00:42:14.69
and he tasted eternal death.
00:42:14.72\00:42:17.78
That is why He
cried out with the heart
00:42:17.81\00:42:20.80
that was bursting with pain.
00:42:20.83\00:42:22.99
"My God, my God, why
have you forsaken me?"
00:42:23.02\00:42:27.45
He felt a
doomed and a lost soul.
00:42:27.48\00:42:31.93
And Christ took all of this upon
Himself because He loves you,
00:42:31.96\00:42:37.45
and because He loves me.
00:42:37.48\00:42:39.97
And He did all of
this, so that you and I, us,
00:42:40.00\00:42:44.61
we can be regarded by
God as sinless and righteous
00:42:44.64\00:42:49.64
and have eternal life
which is simply given to us
00:42:49.67\00:42:53.15
as a gift by the grace of God.
00:42:53.18\00:42:58.01
That is the glory
and that, my friend,
00:42:58.04\00:43:01.30
is the mystery of the cross.
00:43:01.33\00:43:04.07
And there is nothing
that compares on to it.
00:43:04.10\00:43:07.96
Now tonight I say
to you as you sit here,
00:43:07.99\00:43:12.06
you and I cannot
take this into our souls
00:43:12.09\00:43:15.57
unless the Holy Spirit
shows us that we are sinners.
00:43:15.60\00:43:20.78
We need to see
ourselves tonight as sinners,
00:43:20.81\00:43:24.01
but more than this
we need to see Christ,
00:43:24.04\00:43:26.91
dying for our sins on the cross.
00:43:26.94\00:43:30.28
And if we will see this tonight,
00:43:30.31\00:43:32.39
we will parse
from death unto life
00:43:32.42\00:43:35.72
and we will have
peace and joy and happiness.
00:43:35.75\00:43:39.48
This is the word of the Lord.
00:43:39.51\00:43:43.66
The good news that Christ says,
00:43:43.69\00:43:45.64
"If we come to Him with
all our sins just as we are,
00:43:45.67\00:43:50.63
He will accept us,
He will forgive us,
00:43:50.66\00:43:54.28
He will renew us, He'll turn
us into the children of God."
00:43:54.31\00:44:01.15
500 years ago in
Germany, a miner and his wife,
00:44:01.18\00:44:06.37
had a little baby boy,
his name was Martin Luther.
00:44:06.40\00:44:13.12
When he grew up,
he became an earnest
00:44:13.15\00:44:17.02
Roman Catholic, but
he never read the Bible,
00:44:17.05\00:44:21.19
he didn't have the Bible.
00:44:21.22\00:44:23.93
And one day he was
caught out in a storm
00:44:23.96\00:44:26.74
and there was a
tremendous burst of lightening
00:44:26.77\00:44:30.65
and he was knocked to
the ground and in the fear
00:44:30.68\00:44:35.04
that whirled up in his heart,
Martin Luther cried out to Lord.
00:44:35.07\00:44:38.93
"I will become a monk."
00:44:38.96\00:44:45.23
So he became an
Augustinian monk.
00:44:45.26\00:44:51.42
And he prayed a
lot and he did penance.
00:44:51.45\00:44:54.87
And sometimes he
would whip his back
00:44:54.90\00:44:57.82
until the blood was flowing.
00:44:57.85\00:45:00.59
He was trying to
get right with God.
00:45:00.62\00:45:03.34
He was trying to
become a righteous person.
00:45:03.37\00:45:06.89
Have you tried that?
00:45:06.92\00:45:10.20
Martin Luther, the
great Roman Catholic scholar
00:45:10.23\00:45:14.49
had no peace with God
and he tried to find peace
00:45:14.52\00:45:18.37
with God through penance,
with the whip and the lash.
00:45:18.40\00:45:25.45
And then he was sent as a
monk down to the City of Rome
00:45:25.48\00:45:31.95
out of petition to see the pope.
00:45:31.98\00:45:35.78
And what he saw in
Rome, shook him to the core.
00:45:35.81\00:45:40.93
He saw corruption.
00:45:40.96\00:45:44.67
He said, "I thought I
was going to go to heaven
00:45:44.70\00:45:48.58
when I went to Rome."
00:45:48.61\00:45:52.19
And he saw the
sale of indulgences
00:45:52.22\00:45:57.46
and he saw the relics.
00:45:57.49\00:45:59.57
They said, "This is
the bone of this saint,
00:45:59.60\00:46:02.47
this is the bone of that saint."
00:46:02.50\00:46:04.70
And so they had
all of the holy bones.
00:46:04.73\00:46:09.71
And as Martin Luther visited
these so called holy places.
00:46:09.74\00:46:15.10
And my friend, he
was an earnest, good,
00:46:15.13\00:46:19.79
Roman Catholic monk, a priest.
00:46:19.82\00:46:24.33
He went and he kissed
the feet of Saint Peter.
00:46:24.36\00:46:29.71
He looked at all
the beautiful statues,
00:46:29.74\00:46:33.78
the idols, and he
looked at the crosses,
00:46:33.81\00:46:37.78
and then he climbed up
00:46:37.81\00:46:39.59
the Scala
Sancta, the holy stair.
00:46:39.62\00:46:43.95
And as Martin
Luther, the earnest
00:46:43.98\00:46:46.60
Roman Catholic priest was
climbing up the Scala Sancta,
00:46:46.63\00:46:50.82
a voice spoke to his soul
00:46:50.85\00:46:53.57
and the voice said,
"They just shall live by faith.
00:46:53.60\00:47:01.50
And he got up and he
said, "I wonder could it be so.
00:47:01.53\00:47:07.48
I don't need to do penance.
00:47:07.51\00:47:09.69
I don't need to
crawl on my knees.
00:47:09.72\00:47:12.12
I don't need to do
works of righteousness
00:47:12.15\00:47:15.48
in order to be saved,
00:47:15.51\00:47:17.53
maybe I need to go
and study my Bible more."
00:47:17.56\00:47:21.31
Back in the
University in Wittenberg,
00:47:24.03\00:47:27.21
he started to
read the Holy Bible,
00:47:27.24\00:47:32.64
and he came upon
Romans 1:16 and 17.
00:47:32.67\00:47:39.72
I want you to get this
text in your heart tonight.
00:47:39.75\00:47:44.89
My friend, I am desperate
tonight for your souls.
00:47:44.92\00:47:50.13
I want you to
come to Christ tonight.
00:47:50.16\00:47:52.55
I want you to be
justified by faith.
00:47:52.58\00:47:55.97
I want you to
find salvation tonight.
00:47:56.00\00:47:59.24
I want you to know
00:47:59.27\00:48:00.64
that the blood of
Jesus cleanses from all sin.
00:48:00.67\00:48:05.37
This is the text he read.
00:48:05.40\00:48:07.27
"I am not ashamed of the gospel.
00:48:07.30\00:48:10.23
I am not ashamed to the gospel.
00:48:10.26\00:48:12.35
I am not ashamed of the gospel,
00:48:12.38\00:48:14.59
because it is the power of God
00:48:14.62\00:48:16.98
for the salvation of
everyone who believes,
00:48:17.01\00:48:20.56
first for the Jew,
then for the Gentile.
00:48:20.59\00:48:24.57
For in the
gospel a righteousness
00:48:24.60\00:48:27.51
from God is revealed,
00:48:27.54\00:48:29.77
a righteousness that is by faith
00:48:29.80\00:48:32.53
from first to last,
just as it is written,
00:48:32.56\00:48:37.78
'The righteous
will live by faith.'"
00:48:37.81\00:48:42.60
And Martin Luther saw it.
00:48:42.63\00:48:47.73
He went along to his
confessor. He saw it.
00:48:50.23\00:48:55.52
The Bible talks about
the righteousness by God,
00:48:55.55\00:49:00.08
the righteousness of God.
00:49:00.11\00:49:02.98
He saw it, but it
didn't give him peace.
00:49:03.01\00:49:08.75
He went along to
the wonderful priest
00:49:08.78\00:49:11.67
who heard his confession
and he said, "I have a problem."
00:49:11.70\00:49:17.92
And the priest said,
"What is your problem?"
00:49:17.95\00:49:19.87
He said, "I hate God."
00:49:19.90\00:49:24.53
"Martin, this is blasphemy.
00:49:24.56\00:49:26.54
You cannot hate
God. We must love God."
00:49:26.57\00:49:29.36
He said, "I hate God."
00:49:29.39\00:49:30.88
He said, "Why do you hate God?"
00:49:30.91\00:49:32.66
He said, "Because I am a
sinner and God is righteous.
00:49:32.69\00:49:38.26
And therefore
because I'm a sinner
00:49:38.29\00:49:41.21
and God who is
righteous, God must hate me.
00:49:41.24\00:49:45.83
And if He hates me, I hate Him.
00:49:47.59\00:49:50.68
And this is my unpardonable sin.
00:49:50.71\00:49:56.40
So he whipped his back
bit more and the blood flowed
00:50:00.30\00:50:06.33
and he continued
to read the Bible.
00:50:06.36\00:50:09.14
And then he saw it differently,
00:50:09.17\00:50:13.60
he had a revelation
from the throne of God.
00:50:13.63\00:50:16.21
And you can have
this revelation tonight
00:50:16.24\00:50:18.69
in this meeting
glory, hallelujah.
00:50:18.72\00:50:21.35
Jesus come now, reveal
Yourself to these people.
00:50:21.38\00:50:27.46
He had a revelation.
00:50:27.49\00:50:29.15
He discovered that
when the Bible talks
00:50:29.18\00:50:32.51
about the righteousness
of God in these verses,
00:50:32.54\00:50:37.03
it is not to condemn
us, it is to save us,
00:50:37.06\00:50:41.91
it is the righteousness
that comes from Jesus
00:50:41.94\00:50:47.34
and because
Jesus died for our sins
00:50:47.37\00:50:52.51
and because He paid the price,
00:50:52.54\00:50:55.71
Jesus who was the righteous
one gives us His righteousness
00:50:55.74\00:51:02.27
as a free gift and
you can have it tonight.
00:51:02.30\00:51:06.23
It is yours tonight,
if you will only believe.
00:51:06.26\00:51:12.29
My friend, believe tonight.
00:51:12.32\00:51:18.91
And thus who started
the mighty reformation
00:51:18.94\00:51:22.96
that swift around the world.
00:51:22.99\00:51:27.17
And the countries that accepted
00:51:27.20\00:51:29.04
the gospel of
righteousness by faith
00:51:29.07\00:51:33.63
became the most
prosperous nations,
00:51:33.66\00:51:37.93
they became the best nations,
00:51:37.96\00:51:40.92
they became the
healthiest nations,
00:51:40.95\00:51:44.44
they became the nations
where everybody wanted to live.
00:51:44.47\00:51:49.12
Listen, if you will
surely believe in Christ
00:51:51.50\00:51:59.50
and if you and I will
truly give our sins to Christ,
00:52:03.71\00:52:09.63
He'll take our
sins and He'll give us
00:52:09.66\00:52:13.52
His righteousness as a gift.
00:52:13.55\00:52:18.17
His blood will
cover all of our sins.
00:52:18.20\00:52:22.09
And tonight we will
parse from death unto life
00:52:22.12\00:52:28.42
and our names will be
written in the Book of Life.
00:52:28.45\00:52:32.34
I have a great
conviction tonight
00:52:35.54\00:52:37.72
that the Spirit of God is here.
00:52:37.75\00:52:40.39
I can feel Him here.
I can sense He is here.
00:52:40.42\00:52:45.60
And I'm going to say tonight,
00:52:45.63\00:52:47.41
if you want your life to be
covered with the blood of Jesus,
00:52:47.44\00:52:52.32
if you want to be saved tonight
and parse from death unto life,
00:52:52.35\00:52:57.30
I am going to ask you
just to come down to front here
00:52:57.33\00:52:59.70
because I need to pray for you.
00:52:59.73\00:53:02.02
This is the most important
thing you can do tonight,
00:53:02.05\00:53:05.57
to have your life
under the blood of Jesus.
00:53:05.60\00:53:07.72
I'm going to
ask you to come now.
00:53:07.75\00:53:09.34
I'm going to ask the
people in the bleachers to come,
00:53:11.80\00:53:14.14
people far back.
00:53:14.17\00:53:17.46
Tonight, God is
offering you salvation.
00:53:17.49\00:53:23.67
He is offering you a new life.
00:53:23.70\00:53:27.02
He is offering you forgiveness.
00:53:27.05\00:53:30.37
Maybe somebody has
come in here tonight,
00:53:30.40\00:53:33.55
that person has done
some terrible crimes.
00:53:33.58\00:53:37.93
You know what those crimes are?
00:53:37.96\00:53:39.41
Maybe nobody else
knows, but you know.
00:53:39.44\00:53:43.90
But tonight you're going to come
00:53:43.93\00:53:46.40
and you're going
to believe in Jesus,
00:53:46.43\00:53:49.42
and your sins are
gonna be washed away.
00:53:49.46\00:53:53.11
And as you come tonight,
I don't know who you are,
00:53:53.14\00:53:55.30
but I want to tell you,
00:53:55.33\00:53:57.74
on Saturday morning,
on the Sabbath morning,
00:53:57.77\00:53:59.63
we're going to have a
baptism down in the river.
00:53:59.66\00:54:02.01
You ought to be in that baptism.
00:54:02.04\00:54:04.28
Everybody who has heard this
great truth, you need to come.
00:54:04.31\00:54:08.33
I'm just God's poor
instrument of truth,
00:54:10.35\00:54:13.16
but God has
called me here tonight.
00:54:13.19\00:54:16.27
And I'm here tonight
because I have a message
00:54:16.30\00:54:20.17
from the word of God for you.
00:54:20.20\00:54:23.54
And if tonight,
you feel that you need
00:54:23.57\00:54:26.84
to have your sins washed
away in the blood of Christ,
00:54:26.87\00:54:31.62
I'm asking you to come.
00:54:31.65\00:54:33.22
And tonight we don't
come because we're good.
00:54:34.92\00:54:38.63
We don't come
because we're righteous,
00:54:38.66\00:54:40.51
because the Bible says,
00:54:40.54\00:54:42.13
"There is none
righteous, no not one."
00:54:42.16\00:54:45.26
We come because
we need a Savior.
00:54:45.29\00:54:49.44
We come because we're sinners.
00:54:49.47\00:54:52.58
We come because we're unclean.
00:54:52.61\00:54:56.17
There is no good thing in us,
00:54:56.20\00:54:58.52
but we come tonight
00:54:58.55\00:55:00.74
because we want to be
washed in the blood of Christ.
00:55:00.77\00:55:05.37
Tonight, I want you to
get up out of that seat
00:55:05.40\00:55:08.66
and I want you to come down,
00:55:08.69\00:55:10.49
and I'm going to wait for
you just another minute or two.
00:55:10.52\00:55:14.02
But we have thousands of people
have come down here tonight
00:55:14.05\00:55:17.73
and we've come down here tonight
00:55:17.76\00:55:20.21
because we're believing in Jesus
00:55:20.24\00:55:23.39
and we're having
our sins washed away
00:55:23.42\00:55:27.03
and we're going home to glory.
00:55:27.06\00:55:30.91
Who are these people
attending the Carter Report
00:55:33.04\00:55:35.89
at the Sir John Guise Stadium,
Port Moresby, New Papua Guinea?
00:55:35.92\00:55:39.63
Well, they come
from all walks of life.
00:55:39.66\00:55:41.69
In this great congregation
of more than 100,000,
00:55:41.72\00:55:45.12
we find doctors, lawyers,
politicians, ambassadors,
00:55:45.15\00:55:49.21
carpenters, students, teachers,
believers and unbelievers.
00:55:49.24\00:55:53.47
There are husbands and
wives with their families.
00:55:53.50\00:55:56.44
There are the rich and the
poor, the powerful and the weak.
00:55:56.47\00:56:00.52
They are being told
that Christ alone is the way,
00:56:00.55\00:56:03.85
the truth and the life.
00:56:03.88\00:56:05.81
They are hearing
the words of life
00:56:05.84\00:56:07.55
and their hearts are
being strangely warmed.
00:56:07.58\00:56:10.36
Sometimes they feel
that their hearts will burst
00:56:10.39\00:56:13.64
and they feel compel
to hurry down to the front
00:56:13.67\00:56:16.40
to publicly confess the Savior.
00:56:16.43\00:56:18.76
They are shown in the scriptures
00:56:18.79\00:56:20.16
that God commands men everywhere
to repent and be baptized.
00:56:20.19\00:56:24.89
They respond
with the holy devotion
00:56:24.92\00:56:27.19
and a passionate intensity.
00:56:27.22\00:56:29.76
Will you not join them?
