Fortune tellers,
Devil worshipers and so
00:00:01.96\00:00:02.93
much more. Stay tuned
today to see what this
00:00:02.93\00:00:05.70
exciting adventure
has in store for you.
00:00:05.70\00:00:07.60
There are many
people will traveled to
00:00:42.53\00:00:43.93
visit to graveyard
perhaps where they have a loved
00:00:43.93\00:00:46.80
one, but you looked
upon a little funny if
00:00:46.80\00:00:49.26
you just want to go
traps around graveyards
00:00:49.26\00:00:51.20
to check them
out. However, at this
00:00:51.20\00:00:53.70
particular graveyard
everybody from the world
00:00:53.70\00:00:56.00
comes to check it
out. What am I referring to
00:00:56.00\00:00:58.76
of course the great
Pyramids of Egypt. It's
00:00:58.76\00:01:01.83
actually a massive
graveyard, What can I
00:01:01.83\00:01:04.90
say the Pharaohs
wanted to do something in a
00:01:04.90\00:01:07.50
mighty way not
only did they have their
00:01:07.50\00:01:09.36
remains entombed in
this particular area
00:01:09.36\00:01:13.16
and this
particular locations but they
00:01:13.16\00:01:14.73
provided of all the
wealth that they could
00:01:14.73\00:01:17.06
amass and they
took it here to these
00:01:17.06\00:01:19.13
locations and buried
it right along side them.
00:01:19.13\00:01:21.40
You see, they wanted
to take it with them,
00:01:21.40\00:01:23.76
they thought that
they can supply all
00:01:23.76\00:01:26.23
the afterlife with
luxury as they were
00:01:26.23\00:01:28.50
accustomed to here
on earth. The thing I
00:01:28.50\00:01:31.60
want you to focus on
and remember is, all that
00:01:31.60\00:01:34.76
wealth is still there.
None of it not a single
00:01:34.76\00:01:38.33
piece of gold
went to the afterlife,
00:01:38.33\00:01:40.60
interesting thought.
00:01:41.90\00:01:42.86
Pharaoh meaning
Great House, is the
00:01:49.20\00:01:51.80
title used for the
ruler who was the religious
00:01:51.80\00:01:54.13
and political leader
of United Ancient Egypt.
00:01:54.13\00:01:57.60
Egyptians viewed
kingship itself as a
00:01:59.06\00:02:01.10
force of nature.
They recognized that the
00:02:01.10\00:02:04.03
Pharaoh was human
and subject to human
00:02:04.03\00:02:06.20
frailties. Yet they
simultaneously viewed
00:02:06.20\00:02:09.43
him as a God, such
was his importance that
00:02:09.43\00:02:13.16
the Egyptian word
for King referred only
00:02:13.16\00:02:16.16
to the Pharaoh. A
foreign ruler was simply
00:02:16.16\00:02:18.96
called Great Chief,
upon his death the Pharaoh
00:02:18.96\00:02:23.03
became fully
deified. Moses grew up in
00:02:23.03\00:02:27.50
the house of Pharaoh
and was greatly tempted
00:02:27.50\00:02:29.76
by the pride of life
and the lust of the flesh,
00:02:29.76\00:02:31.86
but from
instructions received from his
00:02:31.86\00:02:34.76
mother's side, he
knew gaining the things
00:02:34.76\00:02:37.36
of this life did
not compare to losing
00:02:37.36\00:02:39.83
what God had
promised, eternal life for those
00:02:39.83\00:02:43.20
who followed
him. Moses found true
00:02:43.20\00:02:45.83
eternal life as
promised by God not by following
00:02:45.83\00:02:49.06
in the footsteps of
the Pharaohs, but by
00:02:49.06\00:02:51.43
becoming a friend of
the King of the universe.
00:02:51.43\00:02:54.10
Ragasa as you and I
were in your village
00:03:09.13\00:03:10.80
here earlier
today, clear up in the
00:03:10.80\00:03:12.56
mountains of
Ethiopia. You shared with me
00:03:12.56\00:03:15.50
that you've got a
really wild past history of
00:03:15.50\00:03:20.03
idol worship and all
kinds of things, tell
00:03:20.03\00:03:24.33
me about that? What
I want to share with
00:03:24.33\00:03:28.96
you today is from
my past life, I was
00:03:28.96\00:03:31.36
raised by father
and mother, who were
00:03:31.36\00:03:33.36
both fortune
tellers, because of their
00:03:33.36\00:03:35.96
evil practices, my
mother was very sick and
00:03:35.96\00:03:39.30
after a long time
of sickness she died,
00:03:39.30\00:03:41.33
because of what
they taught me I too was
00:03:41.33\00:03:44.33
sick for more
than two years by demon
00:03:44.33\00:03:46.76
possession. Not only
I was sick but all my
00:03:46.76\00:03:49.90
cousin had died.
Whenever I will ask the fortune
00:03:49.90\00:03:53.70
tellers for answers
about my sickness and my
00:03:53.70\00:03:56.46
cousin death, they
would always said to
00:03:56.46\00:03:58.86
correct it I must
kill more than two or three
00:03:58.86\00:04:01.26
men. Ragasa, you
said the fortune teller
00:04:01.26\00:04:04.20
told you to kill
people, did I hear
00:04:04.20\00:04:06.20
that correctly?
Yes, to kill people,
00:04:06.20\00:04:10.30
some of their practices
involve killing people.
00:04:10.30\00:04:13.13
They say you must
not leave the kill of
00:04:13.13\00:04:15.90
living grandparent
or children. So I went
00:04:15.90\00:04:19.40
to another place to
seek answers but when I
00:04:19.40\00:04:21.40
went home I
discover my brother had died.
00:04:21.40\00:04:23.26
So nobody would
have went, there was no
00:04:23.26\00:04:26.53
fortune telling
solution for me. Finally I found
00:04:26.53\00:04:30.40
God, praise to God
because through him
00:04:30.40\00:04:33.06
I found the truth.
For more than two years
00:04:33.06\00:04:36.26
I've gone to
hospital and clinic to cure my
00:04:36.26\00:04:38.70
sickness, but a
doctor could not find any
00:04:38.70\00:04:41.23
cure for me. After
I came to God's house,
00:04:41.23\00:04:45.43
I was totally cured. I
really want to thank God
00:04:45.43\00:04:49.73
because he brought
me back from before I
00:04:49.73\00:04:51.90
was suffering in. For
so long I could not cut
00:04:51.90\00:04:55.36
my hair or my
nails, because the fortune
00:04:55.36\00:04:59.30
tellers, if I had
known God I would not have
00:04:59.30\00:05:03.10
wasted my time on following
Satan for so many years.
00:05:03.10\00:05:05.60
Just to go back a
little bit for myself here,
00:05:05.60\00:05:08.80
you were raised as
a fortune teller. Your
00:05:08.80\00:05:11.40
mother, your father
everybody. You worship
00:05:11.40\00:05:14.40
the devil basically.
So, this is an incredible
00:05:14.40\00:05:18.73
family that worshiped
the devil and then you
00:05:18.73\00:05:22.56
found God through
all of this. After my
00:05:22.56\00:05:28.36
sickness, and the
death of my mother, I decide
00:05:28.36\00:05:32.00
to no longer follow
the devil. It was after
00:05:32.00\00:05:35.26
that day that I began
listening to Adventist
00:05:35.26\00:05:38.56
World Radio. As you
can see AWR is frontline
00:05:38.56\00:05:44.63
mission radio. Our
first priority is to
00:05:44.63\00:05:47.50
travel where missionaries
cannot go. We broadcast
00:05:47.50\00:05:51.33
thousands of hours each
day in 70 major languages
00:05:51.33\00:05:54.60
in the world. AWR has
the capability and capacity
00:05:54.60\00:05:58.83
of blanketing almost
80 percent of the world's
00:05:58.83\00:06:00.80
population. Not only
do we broadcast via short
00:06:00.80\00:06:04.40
wave radio, but our
signal is on over 1000 FM
00:06:04.40\00:06:08.10
and AM stations
around the world as well. Our
00:06:08.10\00:06:11.93
podcast
subscribers, Internet users,
00:06:11.93\00:06:14.06
satellite downlinks
are growing rapidly.
00:06:14.06\00:06:16.70
Evidenced by the
100,000 plus emails,
00:06:16.70\00:06:19.76
letters and phone
calls we receive each and
00:06:19.76\00:06:23.03
every year. Yes AWR
is your mission radio.
00:06:23.03\00:06:26.50
No walls and no
borders for AWR that means
00:06:26.50\00:06:30.13
change lives and
change hearts around the
00:06:30.13\00:06:32.36
world because God
is using the airways
00:06:32.36\00:06:35.26
of AWR to reach
people every where.
00:06:35.26\00:06:37.86
Here is another story
of hope from Adventist
00:06:42.30\00:06:45.86
World Radio. Zainab
pressed her ears tightly
00:06:45.86\00:06:48.80
against the radio
speaker. The volume must
00:06:48.80\00:06:51.36
be as low as
possible so her parents would
00:06:51.36\00:06:53.90
not hear. They
would be so ashamed
00:06:53.90\00:06:56.13
to find her listening
to Adventist world radio.
00:06:56.13\00:06:59.00
Christianity was
look down upon in her
00:06:59.00\00:07:02.00
Middle Eastern
country and conversion from
00:07:02.00\00:07:04.16
Islam would be
totally unacceptable. Yet she
00:07:04.16\00:07:07.26
couldn't stop
listening. Zainab cherished the
00:07:07.26\00:07:10.86
programs, messages
of love and forgiveness.
00:07:10.86\00:07:13.30
She even bought a
Bible, which she read late
00:07:13.30\00:07:17.10
at night after her
parents were asleep.
00:07:17.10\00:07:19.36
Everyday she
prayed that God would give
00:07:19.36\00:07:22.43
her the strength to
be a Christian and to
00:07:22.43\00:07:24.93
tell her family and
friends about Jesus.
00:07:24.93\00:07:27.63
Adventist world
radio shares the hope of
00:07:30.03\00:07:32.80
Christ with millions
of people everyday in
00:07:32.80\00:07:36.10
their own languages, for more
00:07:36.10\00:07:38.23
information visit AWR.org.
00:07:38.23\00:07:41.30
You know it's
interesting that this is
00:07:55.46\00:07:57.00
the solar boat as it
were for the Pharaoh.
00:07:57.00\00:07:59.36
This was supposed
to take him into the
00:07:59.36\00:08:02.23
afterlife. And it's
only been about 25 or 30
00:08:02.23\00:08:07.90
years that they
had it out on display
00:08:07.90\00:08:09.76
as a matter of fact
they found it, and they
00:08:09.76\00:08:12.16
didn't put it
together for years, they just
00:08:12.16\00:08:13.80
let it set until
finally someone said let's see
00:08:13.80\00:08:17.13
what we can do.
And they found even all
00:08:17.13\00:08:19.16
the instructions and
exactly how to put it
00:08:19.16\00:08:21.50
together, and
buried with it, and they
00:08:21.50\00:08:25.66
discovered if they
let it set and then
00:08:25.66\00:08:27.60
they finally put it
together and assemble
00:08:27.60\00:08:29.70
it. I understand it's
upstairs I haven't been
00:08:29.70\00:08:31.96
up there to see it yet, but I
00:08:31.96\00:08:32.96
can't wait to go up there.
00:08:32.96\00:08:34.16
The Khufu Ship is an
intact full size vessel
00:08:38.76\00:08:41.60
from ancient Egypt
that was sealed in pit at
00:08:41.60\00:08:44.86
the foot of the great
pyramid of Giza around
00:08:44.86\00:08:47.06
3400 B.C. This is
pretty amazing when
00:08:47.06\00:08:53.36
you look at this the
intricate detail. Every
00:08:53.36\00:08:55.86
piece fashioned
exactly appropriately, written
00:08:55.86\00:08:59.26
down apparently,
how to put it all back
00:08:59.26\00:09:01.90
together with
ropes and pegs. The whole
00:09:01.90\00:09:05.46
boat is assembled
just with ropes and pegs.
00:09:05.46\00:09:07.40
And I wish you
could appreciate how big
00:09:07.40\00:09:10.26
it is. It is so
long, it is so huge.
00:09:10.26\00:09:13.60
And they put it all
together for Pharaoh.
00:09:13.60\00:09:16.70
The ship is one of
the oldest, largest and
00:09:32.20\00:09:34.46
best preserved
vessels from antiquity.
00:09:34.46\00:09:36.53
It measures 143
feet long and 19 ½ feet
00:09:36.53\00:09:41.93
wide. It contains
no keel and has been
00:09:41.93\00:09:45.20
re-assembled from
1224 pieces, which had been
00:09:45.20\00:09:49.96
laid in a logical
and disassembled order in
00:09:49.96\00:09:53.16
the pit beside the
pyramid. The instructions
00:09:53.16\00:09:57.33
that were buried
with the boat makes you
00:09:57.33\00:09:59.13
think, who were the
instruction for, who was
00:09:59.13\00:10:01.93
suppose to assemble
this boat; and then I look
00:10:01.93\00:10:04.16
it all the orders 2,
4, 5, 10 orders for the
00:10:04.16\00:10:08.53
oarsmen, did Pharaoh
kill all the oarsmen to
00:10:08.53\00:10:11.60
go with him to the
afterlife, probably.
00:10:11.60\00:10:13.80
The history and
function of the ship are not
00:10:20.20\00:10:21.83
precisely known. It
is of the type known
00:10:21.83\00:10:24.50
as the solar
barge, a ritual vessel to
00:10:24.50\00:10:27.33
carry the
resurrected King with the Sun
00:10:27.33\00:10:29.76
God Ra across the
heavens. However, it
00:10:29.76\00:10:33.50
bears some signs
of having been used in
00:10:33.50\00:10:35.66
water, and it is
possible that the ship was
00:10:35.66\00:10:38.50
either a funerary
barge used to carry the
00:10:38.50\00:10:41.26
King's embalmed body
from Memphis to Giza,
00:10:41.26\00:10:43.70
or even that Khufu
himself used it as a
00:10:43.70\00:10:47.46
pilgrimage ship to
visit holy places and that
00:10:47.46\00:10:50.80
it was then buried for
him to use in the afterlife.
00:10:50.80\00:10:53.60
Now I just wonder,
when he wakes up in the
00:10:55.93\00:10:57.96
resurrection, the
first or the second is he
00:10:57.96\00:11:01.10
gonna wonder where is my boat.
00:11:01.10\00:11:02.40
Ragasa you said
that listening to AWR
00:11:06.10\00:11:08.16
strengthened your
life. Can you tell me
00:11:08.16\00:11:09.86
a little more how it helped you?
00:11:09.86\00:11:11.46
The radio program
taught me about a true God,
00:11:11.46\00:11:18.16
the only Spirit and
the Sabbath truth. Whenever
00:11:18.16\00:11:22.06
I cross checked, what
has been preached on the
00:11:22.06\00:11:24.20
radio and what the
Bible says they match out
00:11:24.20\00:11:26.96
perfectly.
Adventist world radio is where
00:11:26.96\00:11:30.93
I have learned
many truth of the Bible.
00:11:30.93\00:11:32.33
So you checked your
scriptures and looked
00:11:32.33\00:11:34.46
and found what
you were listening to.
00:11:34.46\00:11:35.86
Was there
everything in the Bible?
00:11:35.86\00:11:37.60
Whenever I
listened to the radio, I
00:11:37.60\00:11:41.86
always check the
Bible scripture for the
00:11:41.86\00:11:44.23
radio program
accuracy. I founded that
00:11:44.23\00:11:47.70
what they preach
on the program and
00:11:47.70\00:11:49.30
what the Bible
says is always the same.
00:11:49.30\00:11:51.96
Tell me how is AWR? I
look at your past life
00:11:51.96\00:11:56.03
and then you
listen to AWR, how has it
00:11:56.03\00:11:58.63
changed you now,
how do you relate in
00:11:58.63\00:12:00.73
the village to
people differently then when
00:12:00.73\00:12:02.76
you worship the
devil? After listening to
00:12:02.76\00:12:07.20
Adventist world
radio, I realized that I
00:12:07.20\00:12:09.73
had no love from my
friends, but now after
00:12:09.73\00:12:12.40
realizing God is
love, I have learned how
00:12:12.40\00:12:15.06
to fully love my
friends and family. The radio
00:12:15.06\00:12:18.70
program is teaching
me who God truly is,
00:12:18.70\00:12:21.63
and it is encouraging
me to always do good.
00:12:21.63\00:12:24.90
My wish is the radio
program will longer or
00:12:24.90\00:12:29.10
that they could
be broadcasted more
00:12:29.10\00:12:31.10
frequently.
Before I had many skills
00:12:31.10\00:12:34.50
and I had a lot
of money, but I could
00:12:34.50\00:12:37.20
use them because I
was worshiping the devil.
00:12:37.20\00:12:39.53
After believing in
God, I found a peace of
00:12:39.53\00:12:43.20
mind and I'm
constantly helping my brothers
00:12:43.20\00:12:46.56
and sisters even
now I'm sharing the
00:12:46.56\00:12:49.90
message of hope
with others, preaching so
00:12:49.90\00:12:52.83
that they can,
also receive the same
00:12:52.83\00:12:54.50
salvation. My uncle
was a follower of the
00:12:54.50\00:12:57.96
devil and no one wanted to share
00:12:57.96\00:13:00.06
food and drink
with him. After I began
00:13:00.06\00:13:04.23
to follow God, I
invite him into my home to eat
00:13:04.23\00:13:07.16
and drink. And now
I'm helping him find
00:13:07.16\00:13:09.63
his way to God.
So the main change in
00:13:09.63\00:13:12.50
me is my love for
friend and neighbors.
00:13:12.50\00:13:15.36
So God is working through you to
00:13:15.36\00:13:17.93
change lives of
other people now. Yes, I
00:13:17.93\00:13:21.70
know God is
working through my life.
00:13:21.70\00:13:23.53
My brother was a idol
worshiper, and I told him
00:13:23.53\00:13:26.56
I worship idol for
several years and that
00:13:26.56\00:13:29.70
idol never once help
me. I told him that after I
00:13:29.70\00:13:33.50
came to God's
house my life changed. I
00:13:33.50\00:13:36.73
then share with him
all the truth of the Bible.
00:13:36.73\00:13:38.70
And now because of
that he became a Christian
00:13:38.70\00:13:43.36
and he is in God's
house. So you still listen
00:13:43.36\00:13:46.33
to AWR? Recently my
radio broke, but before
00:13:46.33\00:13:50.70
that I listen to Adventist
world radio all the time.
00:13:50.70\00:13:54.30
I wish I could still
listen to the program.
00:13:54.30\00:13:57.33
You are long
waves from anywhere but
00:13:57.33\00:13:59.73
the radio waves get to
your village. Even though
00:13:59.73\00:14:04.13
the radio is broadcasting
far from us, it still
00:14:04.13\00:14:07.26
reaches here and it's
helpful in our village,
00:14:07.26\00:14:09.66
because when we see
friends and relative we
00:14:09.66\00:14:14.30
share Adventist
world radio with them.
00:14:14.30\00:14:16.10
AWR give us an everlasting hope.
00:14:16.10\00:14:19.50
For those of us
who may never have an
00:14:22.06\00:14:23.70
opportunity to
actually go inside a tomb,
00:14:23.70\00:14:25.76
perhaps we can get
a little idea of what,
00:14:25.76\00:14:29.80
what the Pharaohs
carried into their tombs
00:14:29.80\00:14:32.30
because you see
they thought that they
00:14:32.30\00:14:33.76
could take every
thing to the afterlife, and
00:14:33.76\00:14:36.60
that's where the
grave robbers came from.
00:14:36.60\00:14:38.63
They saw all this
being carried in the tombs,
00:14:38.63\00:14:41.33
they saw all the
jewelry, all the gold,
00:14:41.33\00:14:43.00
all the silver the
brass and everything and the
00:14:43.00\00:14:44.93
thought, we have a
way, we have something
00:14:44.93\00:14:47.30
we're going to do,
we're going to sneak
00:14:47.30\00:14:49.13
into the tombs,
we're going to steal it to
00:14:49.13\00:14:51.30
ourselves. All
Egyptians were buried with at
00:14:51.30\00:14:54.50
least some burial
goods, which they thought
00:14:54.50\00:14:57.20
necessary after
death. At a minimum these
00:14:57.20\00:15:00.63
consisted of everyday
objects such as bowls,
00:15:00.63\00:15:03.26
combs and other
trinkets along with food.
00:15:03.26\00:15:06.63
The Pharaohs built
huge funerary temples for
00:15:09.86\00:15:12.43
themselves on the
west bank of the Nile, and
00:15:12.43\00:15:15.26
were buried in
spectacular rock cut
00:15:15.26\00:15:17.23
tombs in the Valley
of the Kings, design to
00:15:17.23\00:15:20.23
ensure their eternal
afterlife. The amount of
00:15:20.23\00:15:24.23
money and manpower
expanded on the pyramids
00:15:24.23\00:15:26.76
to house the mummified
remains of the Pharaohs
00:15:26.76\00:15:29.06
is almost
beyond calculation. The
00:15:29.06\00:15:32.80
Pharaohs were
trying to become like God,
00:15:32.80\00:15:34.70
but it didn't work.
Beginning in the new
00:15:34.70\00:15:38.66
Kingdom, books of
the dead were included
00:15:38.66\00:15:41.00
in the grave. The
Book of the Dead is the
00:15:41.00\00:15:44.10
common name for the
ancient Egyptian funerary
00:15:44.10\00:15:46.73
text, it was a
description of the
00:15:46.73\00:15:49.53
ancient Egyptian
conception of the
00:15:49.53\00:15:51.43
afterlife and a
collection of hymns, spells, and
00:15:51.43\00:15:55.16
instructions to allow
the deceased to pass through
00:15:55.16\00:15:57.76
obstacles in the
afterlife. It was
00:15:57.76\00:16:01.06
commonly written on
a papyrus scroll and
00:16:01.06\00:16:03.70
placed in a coffin
or burial chamber of the
00:16:03.70\00:16:06.23
deceased. They
had a highly developed
00:16:06.23\00:16:09.76
view of the afterlife
with elaborate rituals
00:16:09.76\00:16:12.10
for preparing the
body and soul for an
00:16:12.10\00:16:15.00
eternal life after
death. Beliefs about the soul
00:16:15.00\00:16:18.76
and afterlife focused
heavily on preservation
00:16:18.76\00:16:21.36
of the body. This
meant that embalming and
00:16:21.36\00:16:24.16
mummification were
practiced, in order to
00:16:24.16\00:16:26.50
preserve the individual's
identity in the afterlife.
00:16:26.50\00:16:29.60
True mummification
began in the forth dynasty
00:16:29.60\00:16:35.90
with the development
of artificial embalming
00:16:35.90\00:16:37.90
techniques. The
corpse was initially dried
00:16:37.90\00:16:40.56
out with Natron,
once dried mummies
00:16:40.56\00:16:43.90
were ritualistically
anointed with oils
00:16:43.90\00:16:46.20
and perfumes. The
abdomen was opened
00:16:46.20\00:16:49.50
and all organs
except for the heart were
00:16:49.50\00:16:52.30
removed and
preserve in canopic jars.
00:16:52.30\00:16:54.70
The heart rather
than the brain was
00:17:09.50\00:17:11.40
considered the
seed of all thought and
00:17:11.40\00:17:13.26
emotion. The brain
thought to be useless
00:17:13.26\00:17:16.10
was smashed and
pulled out through the nose
00:17:16.10\00:17:18.43
with hooks then
discarded. Next, the
00:17:18.43\00:17:22.13
body was stuffed
with sacred and protected
00:17:22.13\00:17:24.16
amulets and wrapped in
linen bandages. Finally,
00:17:24.16\00:17:28.36
the mummy was laid to
rest in his sarcophagus,
00:17:28.36\00:17:30.86
inside a tomb where
it was believed that
00:17:30.86\00:17:33.63
the mummy would
reset eternally. The best
00:17:33.63\00:17:42.03
mummification technique
took a total of 70 days
00:17:42.03\00:17:45.13
to complete. The
Biblical record is very clear,
00:17:45.13\00:17:50.33
not only did Jesus
break up every funeral he
00:17:50.33\00:17:53.70
ever attended by
raising the dead after dying
00:17:53.70\00:17:56.66
upon the cross he
rose again the third day.
00:17:56.66\00:17:59.33
This is the victory
that all the saints of God
00:17:59.33\00:18:02.36
will experience, to
be brought back to life,
00:18:02.36\00:18:05.16
hard to believe. We discovered a
00:18:05.16\00:18:08.23
modern day example
of raising the dead
00:18:08.23\00:18:10.06
in the country of
Ethiopia. You said that
00:18:10.06\00:18:13.90
you were demon
possessed for two years.
00:18:13.90\00:18:15.80
Tell me a little
more about that? This was,
00:18:15.80\00:18:18.10
for my sickness
was in my stomach and
00:18:18.10\00:18:21.56
after coming to
God, I placed my hand on
00:18:21.56\00:18:24.26
my stomach and
prayed for three days.
00:18:24.26\00:18:26.26
At end of the
third day, I became well.
00:18:26.26\00:18:30.36
Once I was cured, I
ask my wife to go to
00:18:30.36\00:18:32.23
church with me,
but she and my children
00:18:32.23\00:18:35.13
refused to go with
me, because she followed
00:18:35.13\00:18:39.00
the fortune tellers and
I followed the true God.
00:18:39.00\00:18:41.96
She will not live with
me as husband and wife.
00:18:41.96\00:18:44.33
After I became a
Christian, she refused
00:18:44.33\00:18:47.93
to come with me
to church. I also had
00:18:47.93\00:18:50.40
support from my
mother and brother, because
00:18:50.40\00:18:53.50
they both were
telling her to believe in God,
00:18:53.50\00:18:55.56
but my wife
continued to refuse even if it
00:18:55.56\00:18:59.23
meant her death. Now your wife
00:18:59.23\00:19:02.66
was a fortune
teller, is that correct?
00:19:02.66\00:19:04.66
She was also a
follower of the fortune tellers
00:19:04.66\00:19:07.60
and she also was
sick. Before I came to
00:19:07.60\00:19:11.36
God I had
sacrifice 12 sheep for her.
00:19:11.36\00:19:13.90
I like to ask you
said that, you sacrificed
00:19:13.90\00:19:18.03
12 sheep, who did
you sacrifice them to.
00:19:18.03\00:19:21.06
I had sacrificed the
sheep to the devil no
00:19:21.06\00:19:26.40
one else. If the
sheep was too small I was
00:19:26.40\00:19:29.83
asked to sacrificed
an ox or cow. I will
00:19:29.83\00:19:34.70
prepare my house
and then sacrifice the
00:19:34.70\00:19:36.46
sheep, then I will
press the body on the gate
00:19:36.46\00:19:39.60
of my house and
burn it. When I gave my
00:19:39.60\00:19:46.50
life to God I tried
to get my wife and my
00:19:46.50\00:19:49.13
father to follow
God. So many people were
00:19:49.13\00:19:52.20
asking them to
believe in God, but I finally
00:19:52.20\00:19:55.53
just asked my
relative to stop asking and
00:19:55.53\00:19:58.20
begin praying for
them to become Christians.
00:19:58.20\00:20:01.03
Just when my wife was
about to decide to raise
00:20:01.03\00:20:04.70
her hand, and
surrender to God, the devil
00:20:04.70\00:20:08.16
made her fall on
the ground and she was
00:20:08.16\00:20:10.36
dead for three days
and night. On the third
00:20:10.36\00:20:15.46
day the church elders
and the church members
00:20:15.46\00:20:18.46
came and prayed for
her. Praise the Lord
00:20:18.46\00:20:22.20
because on the
third day after the church
00:20:22.20\00:20:24.26
prayed, she sits
up and became well.
00:20:24.26\00:20:27.16
Did I understand you
correctly that you said
00:20:27.16\00:20:30.83
your wife was raised
from the dead. Yes, I
00:20:30.83\00:20:35.13
really believe that,
after the day my entire
00:20:35.13\00:20:38.30
family understood that
God is able to cure all
00:20:38.30\00:20:41.20
sickness and that He
can do anything. Even my
00:20:41.20\00:20:45.80
father who was a
fortune teller for more
00:20:45.80\00:20:48.36
than 45 years recognized God's
00:20:48.36\00:20:50.40
power and became a Christian.
00:20:50.40\00:20:52.73
Now most people
that view this program
00:20:52.73\00:20:56.30
could never believe
that, why are there so
00:20:56.30\00:20:58.66
many people here in this
village who believe that?
00:20:58.66\00:21:01.00
When my wife was
raised from the dead,
00:21:01.00\00:21:04.50
five people my
friend and neighbors were
00:21:04.50\00:21:07.93
witnesses to it. So,
I'd love to meet your
00:21:07.93\00:21:10.33
wife. I would love to
meet somebody who is raised
00:21:10.33\00:21:12.30
from the dead is
she here today? My wife
00:21:12.30\00:21:15.43
is here and so are the witnesses
00:21:15.43\00:21:17.43
who saw her
raised from the dead.
00:21:17.43\00:21:19.66
Sounds good let's go.

Here is another story
of hope from Adventist
00:22:25.90\00:22:29.13
World Radio. Jeong
lay wide awake in his
00:22:29.13\00:22:32.56
his dark jail cell. A
Chinese man imprisoned
00:22:32.56\00:22:36.03
in Thailand, he had
no family or friends
00:22:36.03\00:22:38.50
to visit him.
Recently Joeng had began
00:22:38.50\00:22:41.76
listening to the
programs of Adventist
00:22:41.76\00:22:43.80
world radio. The
message of God's love
00:22:43.80\00:22:46.40
and forgiveness
had so much appeal
00:22:46.40\00:22:48.30
to him, because he had
plenty to be forgiven of.

Forced to become a
child soldier in Burma
00:22:51.46\00:22:54.23
when just 13.
Joeng had committed many
00:22:54.23\00:22:57.13
terrible sins. He
escaped into Thailand,
00:22:57.13\00:23:00.10
but quickly wound up
in jail. Now, alone in
00:23:00.10\00:23:04.63
his cell, Joan had ample time to
00:23:04.63\00:23:07.36
wonder would God
really forgive him.

Hello, so you're
the lady who is raised
00:23:30.76\00:23:33.06
from the dead? Yes, yes, yes.
00:23:33.06\00:23:39.86
It's so hard to
believe, I understand there
00:23:39.86\00:23:42.90
were witnesses, are
the witnesses here too?
00:23:42.90\00:23:44.56
And so someone tell
me what happened? One of
00:23:58.30\00:24:01.53
you tell me what happened?
00:24:01.53\00:24:02.76
Ragasa believe in
God, and his wife refused
00:24:02.76\00:24:07.23
to follow him at
first, but when she was going
00:24:07.23\00:24:10.30
to change her
decision, the devil made her
00:24:10.30\00:24:12.96
fall down and close
her mouth. She was dead
00:24:12.96\00:24:16.26
for three days and
three nights. She could not
00:24:16.26\00:24:21.73
move or speak, she
was perfectly still and
00:24:21.73\00:24:25.03
she was dead.
We were all feeling
00:24:25.03\00:24:27.30
very sad because
she passed before she
00:24:27.30\00:24:29.33
could accept
Jesus as her savior.
00:24:29.33\00:24:31.70
So every one of you,
you all agree with this
00:24:31.70\00:24:35.46
testimony? She
was dead. We all began
00:24:35.46\00:24:38.96
to pray for her and
three days later while
00:24:38.96\00:24:41.33
we were praying
she began to hear
00:24:41.33\00:24:43.56
what we were
saying, her eyes open and we
00:24:43.56\00:24:47.00
ask her to believe
in God if she could hear
00:24:47.00\00:24:49.70
us, because she
couldn't speak, she show us
00:24:49.70\00:24:52.73
through hand
signal. She was accepting
00:24:52.73\00:24:55.13
what we were saying.
See there is a lot of
00:24:55.13\00:24:57.13
times where people
that have hard time
00:24:57.13\00:24:59.93
believing that she
would be raised from the
00:24:59.93\00:25:01.93
dead but we so
serve the God of miracle,
00:25:01.93\00:25:03.83
the same God from
the book of Acts, does
00:25:03.83\00:25:06.66
the same kind of
miracles for His people
00:25:06.66\00:25:08.36
who believe. We
believe that God does
00:25:08.36\00:25:11.13
miracle things and
still working. Well thank you
00:25:11.13\00:25:15.06
everyone and I am
so glad that you are a
00:25:15.06\00:25:17.13
child of the
Kingdom. Thank you so much
00:25:17.13\00:25:26.80
everyone. Can we
have a prayer together?
00:25:26.80\00:25:29.86
Heavenly Father, I
want to thank you so
00:25:29.86\00:25:36.00
much for your
love. Thank you Father
00:25:36.00\00:25:38.70
that you delivered
my brother and sister
00:25:38.70\00:25:40.46
here from the
devil. And I look forward
00:25:40.46\00:25:42.36
to that time when
we could be together
00:25:42.36\00:25:44.00
forever, in
Jesus name, amen, amen.
00:25:44.00\00:25:48.70
Our story today dealt
with miracles, miracles
00:25:48.70\00:25:52.13
that reflect the
power of God in human life.
00:25:52.13\00:25:55.43
Things that deal
with death and life,
00:25:55.43\00:25:58.00
things that deal
with the great conflict
00:25:58.00\00:26:00.40
between God on
the one hand and the
00:26:00.40\00:26:02.70
powers of Evil. And
you know how these people
00:26:02.70\00:26:05.36
over came the Evil
powers, it was through
00:26:05.36\00:26:08.30
prayer, because they
listened to the voice
00:26:08.30\00:26:11.00
of hope on
Adventist World Radio. They
00:26:11.00\00:26:13.93
learned that God has
more power than Satan
00:26:13.93\00:26:16.86
and that they could
pray and call forth the
00:26:16.86\00:26:19.73
power of God to work
in their lives. This is
00:26:19.73\00:26:22.66
the real thing, when
you pray for our listeners
00:26:22.66\00:26:25.46
you are praying for
families like Ragasa
00:26:25.46\00:26:29.00
and you are able
then, you can help us invite
00:26:29.00\00:26:32.70
the power of God
into these lives, and you
00:26:32.70\00:26:36.40
invite him into your
life as well. The power
00:26:36.40\00:26:40.33
of God to transform
lives even the lives
00:26:40.33\00:26:42.50
of fortune tellers
and devil worshipers. If
