BILLY GRAHAM CAME HERE 04:28 TO THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES TO RUN A GREAT EVANGELISTIC 04:31 CAMPAIGN. THIS IS A PLACE WHERE THERE'S 04:35 A LOT OF OPPOSITION TO THE PREACHING OF THE GOSPEL 04:37 OF CHRIST. I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT IT SEEMS 04:40 TO BE SATAN'S SEAT. THERE'S A LOT OF HATRED TOWARDS 04:45 THE PREACHERS OF THE GOSPEL IN THIS PART OF THE WORLD. 04:48 MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE OF HOLLYWOOD OR SOME OTHER INFLUENCE. 04:50 I JUST DON'T KNOW. BUT AFTER DR. BILLY GRAHAM 04:53 TALKED ABOUT RUNNING THIS GREAT CAMPAIGN HERE IN THE CITY 04:56 OF THE ANGELS, HE WAS TALKING 05:01 TO A GROUP OF MINISTERS. YOU SEE, HE GOT ALL THESE MINISTERS TOGETHER TO ASK FOR 05:06 THEIR SUPPORT. AND THAT'S WHERE THE OPPOSITION STARTED. 05:10 OPPOSITION OFTEN COMES TO THE PREACHING OF THE GOSPEL, NOT FROM TRUE BELIEVERS, 05:16 BUT FROM SUPER RELIGIOUS PEOPLE. AND A MINISTER GOT UP AND HE 05:21 SAID, "DR. GRAHAM IF YOU RUN THESE SERIES OF MEETINGS, THIS SERIES OF MEETINGS, 05:25 YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE THE CHURCH BACK 100 YEARS." FRIEND OF MINE, DR. REX EDWARDS 05:32 FROM WASHINGTON, WAS IN THE MEETING AND HE TOLD ME THIS STORY. 05:36 AND HE SAID AFTER THIS MAN GOT UP AND SAID "YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE THE CHURCH BACK 100 YEARS 05:41 IN AMERICA," HE SAID BILLY SLOWLY-- BILLY STARTED TO GET TO HIS FEET--WE'RE GLAD TO HAVE 05:50 MRS. WILLY JORDAN WITH US TODAY TOO. WE'RE SO GLAD. 05:53 AND SHE KNOWS DR. BILLY GRAHAM. SHE'S BEEN A PART OF HIS TEAM. BUT AS DR. EDWARD SAID AS THE 06:01 GREAT EVANGELIST GOT TO HIS FEET, HE SAID HE COULD JUST ABOUT HEAR THE WHEELS TURNING. 06:10 DR. GRAHAM GOT UP AND HE TURNED TO THE SKEPTIC AND HE SAID, "I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR 06:14 REMARK, BUT I WANT TO MAKE IT VERY PLAIN HERE TODAY. IT IS NOT MY INTENTION TO TAKE 06:20 THE CHURCH BACK 100 YEARS. I WANT TO SEE GOD TAKE HIS CHURCH BACK 2,000 YEARS, 06:29 BACK TO THE DAYS OF THE APOSTLES AND BACK TO THE DAYS OF PENTECOST." 06:36 AND I WANT TO TELL YOU FOLKS TODAY WHEN WE WENT TO HONIARA, 06:39 GOD TOOK HIS CHURCH BACK 2,000 YEARS. 06:41 TODAY'S TOPIC IS "THE PENTECOST REPORT." 06:45 AND PLEASE WRITE FOR YOUR COPY OF THIS MAGAZINE WE'VE JUST PUT 06:50 OUT, "THE PENTECOST REPORT." AND I JUST WANT TO THANK PROMISE 06:54 TODAY FROM AVONDALE COLLEGE FOR SINGING FOR US. 06:57 I WANT YOU TO TAKE YOUR BIBLES DOWN, TURN WITH ME OVER HERE TO 06:59 ROMANS 10, BOOK OF ROMANS 10, 07:06 EVERYBODY TAKE YOUR BIBLE. WE ARE A BIBLE-CARRYING AND A BIBLE-READING CHURCH. 07:12 ROMANS 10:8-15, WOULD YOU HOLD UP YOUR BIBLE? IF YOU'VE GOT A BIBLE HERE TODAY 07:19 IN CHURCH, HOLD IT UP HIGH. THAT SCARES THE DEVIL WHEN HE SEES PEOPLE WITH A BIBLE. 07:25 SO, HOLD UP YOUR BIBLE. ROMANS--PUT IT DOWN, THANK YOU. 07:28 ROMANS 10:8 AND ONWARDS. ARE YOU READY? 07:34 "BUT WHAT DOES IT SAY? 'THE WORD IS NEAR YOU; IT IS IN 07:40 YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART,' THAT IS, THE WORD OF FAITH WE 07:43 ARE PROCLAIMING: THAT IS IF YOU CONFESS WITH MOUTH, 'JESUS IS 07:48 LORD,' AND BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT GOD RAISED HIM FROM THE 07:52 DEAD, YOU WILL BE SAVED. FOR IT IS WITH YOUR HEART THAT 07:58 YOU BELIEVE AND ARE JUSTIFIED, AND IT IS WITH YOUR MOUTH THAT 08:03 YOU CONFESS AND ARE SAVED. AS THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, 'ANYONE 08:11 WHO TRUSTS IN HIM WILL NEVER BE PUT TO SHAME.' 08:15 FOR THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JEW AND GENTILE--THE 08:18 SAME LORD IS LORD OF ALL AND RICHLY BLESSES ALL WHO 08:22 CALL ON HIM, FOR," EVERYONE SAY IT WITH ME. 08:26 "'EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD 08:30 SHALL BE SAVED.'" AND NOTICE THE NEXT VERSE 08:34 BECAUSE THOSE MINISTERS WHO CRITICIZED DR. GRAHAM 08:38 APPARENTLY HAD NEVER READ THIS TEXT. 08:40 "HOW, THEN, CAN THEY CALL ON THE ONE THEY HAVE NOT BELIEVED IN? 08:45 AND HOW CAN THEY BELIEVE IN THE ONE OF WHOM THEY HAVE NOT HEARD? 08:49 AND HOW CAN THEY HEAR WITHOUT SOMEONE PREACHING TO THEM? 08:55 AND HOW CAN THEY PREACH UNLESS THEY ARE SENT? 08:58 AS IT IS WRITTEN, 'HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING 09:02 GOOD NEWS!'" THAT MEANS THE GOSPEL. 09:05 AND VERSE 17 SAYS, "CONSEQUENTLY, FAITH COMES FROM 09:09 HEARING THE MESSAGE, AND THE MESSAGE IS HEARD THROUGH THE 09:12 WORD OF CHRIST." LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY. 09:15 THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT THERE IS NO OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN AMONG MEN WHEREBY WE MUST BE 09:21 SAVED. WE ARE NOT SAVED BECAUSE WE ARE SINCERE. 09:28 WE'RE NOT SAVED BECAUSE WE TRY TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT. WE ARE SAVED THROUGH 09:33 THE BLOOD OF CHRIST. THE BIBLE SAYS JESUS IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. 09:40 MANY, MANY PEOPLE, EVEN TODAY IN THE CHURCH, DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT. 09:44 THAT JESUS IS THE WAY AND JESUS IS THE TRUTH AND JESUS IS THE LIFE. 09:49 COME OVER HERE TO EPHESIANS 2. EPHESIANS 2, LET ME SEE, EPHESIANS 2:1 AND ONWARDS. 10:01 I'M GLAD TO SEE YOU FOLKS TURNING TO THE HOLY SCRIPTURES, 10:04 BECAUSE THE POWER IS IN THE WORD OF GOD. 10:08 NOT IN THE PREACHER. EPHESIANS 2:1 AND ONWARDS, 10:12 "AS FOR YOU, YOU WERE," WHAT? "YOU WERE DEAD," SO IF YOU'RE 10:17 DEAD, YOU'RE DEAD. "YOU WERE DEAD IN YOUR 10:18 TRANSGRESSIONS AND SINS," WITHOUT CHRIST THE BIBLE SAYS 10:22 YOU'RE DEAD. EVEN THOUGH YOU GO TO CHURCH. 10:25 EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE SUPER RELIGIOUS. 10:28 "IN WHICH YOU USED TO LIVE WHEN YOU FOLLOWED THE WAYS OF THIS 10:30 WORLD AND OF THE RULER OF THE KINGDOM OF THE AIR, THE SPIRIT 10:35 WHO IS NOW AT WORK IN THOSE WHO ARE DISOBEDIENT. 10:39 ALL OF US ALSO LIVED AMONG THEM AT ONE TIME, GRATIFYING THE 10:44 CRAVINGS OF OUR SINFUL NATURE AND FOLLOWING ITS DESIRES 10:48 AND THOUGHTS. LIKE THE REST, WE WERE BY NATURE 10:51 OBJECTS OF WRATH." THE BIBLE SAYS OUTSIDE OF CHRIST 10:56 WE ARE OBJECTS OF WRATH. PEOPLE SAY, "I DON'T WANT 10:59 TO HEAR THIS." IT IS THE TRUTH. 11:01 IT IS THE WORD. "BUT BECAUSE OF HIS GREAT LOVE 11:05 FOR US, GOD, WHO IS RICH IN MERCY, MADE US ALIVE WITH CHRIST 11:10 EVEN WHEN WE WERE DEAD IN OUR TRANSGRESSIONS--IT IS BY GRACE 11:16 YOU HAVE BEEN SAVED." YOU'RE NOT SAVED BY YOUR WORKS. 11:18 YOU'RE SAVED BY GRACE. "AND GOD RAISED US UP WITH 11:21 CHRIST AND SEATED US WITH HIM IN THE HEAVENLY REALMS 11:25 IN CHRIST JESUS, IN ORDER THAT IN THE COMING AGES HE MIGHT 11:29 SHOW THE INCOMPARABLE RICHES OF HIS GRACE, EXPRESSED IN HIS 11:35 KINDNESS TO US IN CHRIST JESUS. FOR IT IS BY GRACE YOU HAVE BEEN 11:42 SAVED, THROUGH FAITH--AND THIS NOT FROM YOURSELVES, IT IS THE 11:47 GIFT OF GOD--NOT BY WORKS, SO THAT NO ONE CAN BOAST. 11:53 FOR WE ARE GOD'S WORKMANSHIP, CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS TO DO 11:59 GOOD WORKS, WHICH GOD PREPARED IN ADVANCE FOR US TO DO." 12:04 MY FRIEND, LET NOBODY GET THE IDEA THAT WE CAN BE SAVED BY 12:09 CLIMBING UP THE QUAKING SIDES OF MOUNT SINAI. WE CAN NEVER BE SAVED BY THE 12:14 GOSPEL OF DO, DO, DO, DO, DO COCK-A-DOODLE-DO. THE BIBLE TELLS ME THAT I AM 12:21 SAVED BY CHRIST AND I'M SAVED BY THE GRACE OF GOD. AND THIS IS COMMUNICATED TO THE 12:27 LAST--THROUGH THE PREACHING OF THE GOSPEL. THAT IS THE WORD OF GOD. 12:33 THAT IS WHY WE BELIEVE IN RUNNING EVANGELISTIC CAMPAIGNS. 12:37 LOOK AT VERSE 12, "REMEMBER THAT AT THAT TIME YOU WERE SEPARATE 12:45 FROM CHRIST," THIS IS TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE OUTSIDE THE 12:47 KINGDOM. AND WE'RE NOT SAVED BY BELONGING 12:51 TO THE CHURCH, BECAUSE THE CHURCH NEEDS TO BE SAVED. 12:55 "YOU WERE SEPARATE FROM CHRIST, EXCLUDED FROM CITIZENSHIP IN 12:59 ISRAEL AND FOREIGNERS TO THE COVENANTS OF THE PROMISE, 13:03 WITHOUT HOPE AND WITHOUT GOD IN THE WORLD." 13:07 THE BIBLE SAYS PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF CHRIST ARE WITHOUT HOPE 13:10 AND ARE WITHOUT GOD. VERSE 13 SAYS, "BUT NOW IN 13:15 CHRIST JESUS YOU WHO ONCE WERE FAR AWAY HAVE BEEN BROUGHT NEAR 13:21 THROUGH THE BLOOD OF CHRIST." THE BIBLE TELLS ME THAT WHEN 13:24 PEOPLE COME TO CHRIST AND THEY COME OUT OF DARKNESS--THEY STEP OUT OF THEIR DARKNESS AND THEY 13:32 STEP INTO THE LIGHT. IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO BRING THEM THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST. 13:39 FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT. FROM DESPAIR TO HOPE. FROM DEATH TO LIFE. 13:45 FROM DAMNATION TO SALVATION. THAT IS WHY I'M SO GLAD TO TELL YOU TODAY AND TO TELL OUR 13:53 WORLDWIDE AUDIENCE I COULD NOT BELONG TO JUST ANY CHURCH. I COULDN'T BELONG TO A CHURCH 14:02 WHERE CHRIST WAS NOT THE CENTER. I COULD NOT BELONG TO A CHURCH THAT DID NOT, EVERY WEEK, 14:08 MAGNIFY THE BLOOD OF CHRIST. AND THE BIBLE TELLS US WE ARE CALLED AS HIS DISCIPLES TO 14:18 COMMUNICATE TO OUR LOST WORLD THE UNSEARCHABLE RICHES OF CHRIST. 14:23 REMEMBER WHAT THE WALDENSES SAID. THE WALDENSES SAID, "YE SHALL 14:28 BE MISSIONARIES, OR YE SHALL BE NOTHING." IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A MISSION FOR 14:33 CHRIST THAN YOU ARE NOTHING, SAID THE WALDENSES. THIS GROUP WHO SANG FOR US SO 14:42 SPLENDIDLY TODAY COME FROM 14:44 AVONDALE COLLEGE AND WHEN I WENT TO THAT COLLEGE IT WAS CALLED 14:48 THE AUSTRALASIAN MISSIONARY COLLEGE. 14:52 AND I CAN REMEMBER AS A BOY LOOKING DOWN FROM THE FRONT OF 14:58 THE CHURCH, DOWN THE BACK OF THE 15:00 CHAPEL, AND THERE WAS A GREAT MAP OF THE WORLD. 15:03 AND IT SAID, "FOR A GREATER VISION OF WORLD NEEDS." 15:09 REMEMBER WHAT THE WALDENSES SAID, "YE SHALL BE MISSIONARIES, 15:13 OR YE SHALL BE NOTHING." AND THAT IS WHY WE BELIEVE WE 15:19 NEED TO GO BACK, NOT 100 YEARS, BUT 2,000 YEARS TO PENTECOST 15:24 WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS POURED OUT UPON THE CHURCH. 15:27 COME WITH ME TO ACTS 2:16 AND ONWARDS. 15:33 MY FRIEND, I WOULD HATE TO BELONG TO A CHURCH WHERE THE 15:35 PREACHER DOESN'T TURN IN THE SCRIPTURES. I'D HATE TO BELONG TO THAT 15:41 CHURCH. I'D HATE TO BELONG TO A CHURCH WHERE THE PEOPLE GET A LOT OF 15:47 FODDER TOSSED TO THEM WEEK AFTER WEEK INSTEAD OF THE WORD OF GOD. 15:52 THE BREAD OF LIFE, ACTS 2:16 AND ONWARDS, "NO, THIS IS WHAT WAS 15:59 SPOKEN BY THE PROPHET JOEL," NO THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT DRUNK 16:02 HE SAYS. "'IN THE LAST DAYS, GOD SAYS, 16:07 I WILL POUR OUT MY SPIRIT ON ALL PEOPLE. 16:10 YOUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS WILL PROPHESY, YOUR YOUNG MEN WILL 16:14 SEE VISIONS, YOUR OLD MEN WILL DREAM DREAMS. 16:19 EVEN ON MY SERVANTS, BOTH MEN AND WOMEN, I WILL POUR OUT MY 16:22 SPIRIT IN THOSE DAYS, AND THEY WILL PROPHESY,'" OR PREACH THE 16:27 WORD, "'I WILL SHOW WONDERS IN THE HEAVENS ABOVE AND SIGNS ON 16:32 THE EARTH BELOW, BLOOD AND FIRE AND BILLOWS OF SMOKE. 16:38 THE SUN WILL BE TURNED TO DARKNESS AND THE MOON TO BLOOD 16:41 BEFORE THE COMING OF THE GREAT AND GLORIOUS DAY OF THE LORD. 16:44 AND EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE 16:50 SAVED.'" I WANT TO SAY TODAY THAT 16:54 I CONSIDER THAT THE GREATEST NEED OF THIS POOR OLD PREACHER 16:57 IS FOR MORE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. 17:00 AND THE GREATEST NEED OF THIS CHURCH IS FOR MORE OF 17:02 THE HOLY SPIRIT. I WANT TO TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT 17:08 ABOUT KATA RAGASO. AS YOU KNOW WE'VE JUST COME BACK 17:12 FROM THE SOLOMON ISLANDS. ONE OF THE REASONS I WENT TO THE 17:16 SOLOMON ISLANDS WAS BECAUSE OF THIS MAN, KATA RAGASO. 17:24 WHILE I WAS THERE I ALSO WENT OUT TO HIS GRAVE OUT IN THE 17:28 JUNGLE. AND I WENT THERE BECAUSE 17:33 I WANTED TO SHOW MY RESPECTS. THEY CALL THIS MAN 17:38 A PRINCE AMONG MEN. AND SO HE WAS. 17:43 I MET HIM AS A LITTLE BOY, BUT HE WAS JUST A BABY. 17:52 HIS FATHER, WHO WAS A HEADHUNTER FROM THE FEARSOME MAROVO LAGOON 18:01 IN THE SOLOMONS, WENT FISHING. AND RAGASO MEANS DEVIL STRINGS. 18:10 BUT THE FATHER, EVEN THOUGH HE WAS A PAGAN AND A HEADHUNTER AND 18:15 A CANNIBAL, HAD SOME DOUBTS ABOUT SPIRITS. 18:19 AND WHEN HE WENT FISHING THIS DAY HE WOULD NOT PUT THE STRINGS 18:23 ON THE FRONT OF HIS BOAT. THUS, HE PROVOKED THE DEMONS. 18:28 BUT HOWEVER, HE WAS AMAZED THAT HE CAUGHT A NUMBER OF FISH. 18:33 WHEN HE WENT BACK HE WAS THE HEADMAN, HE WAS THE HEAD 18:35 CHIEF--THE CHIEF OF CHIEFS. WHEN HE WENT BACK TO THE VILLAGE 18:38 THEY SAID, "ONE OF YOUR WIVES HAS GIVEN BIRTH TO A LITTLE 18:43 BOY." AND SO, HE DIDN'T CALL HIM 18:46 RAGASO, WHICH MEANT DEVIL STRINGS. 18:49 HE CALLED HIM KATA RAGASO. THAT MEANS NO DEVIL STRINGS. 18:57 AROUND THIS TIME AN AMAZING MAN CAME TO THE SOLOMON ISLANDS. 19:02 HIS NAME WAS CAPTAIN JONES. WHAT A MAN WAS HE, 19:08 AN AMAZING MAN. CAPTAIN JONES, HE WAS AN 19:12 ENGLISHMAN. AND HE WENT TO THE 19:14 SOLOMON ISLANDS EVEN THOUGH THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT 19:17 SAID--BECAUSE THEY WERE LOOKING AFTER THE SOLOMON ISLANDS, 19:20 "YOU SHOULDN'T GO THERE. YOU'LL BE EATEN. 19:23 YOU'LL BE KILLED. THE NATIVES ARE THE MOST SAVAGE 19:27 ANYWHERE ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH." 19:33 BUT HE LANDED SAFELY WITHOUT ANY MILITARY ESCORT. 19:37 AND HE MET THE OLD CHIEF, WHO HAD THIS LITTLE BOY, 19:40 KATA RAGASO. AND THE CHIEF WELCOMED THE WHITE 19:44 MAN AND WELCOMED THE WHITE MAN'S GOD. 19:46 AND HE STARTED A LITTLE SCHOOL. AND KATA RAGASO WAS 19:49 ONE OF TEN OR TWELVE PUPILS IN THIS LITTLE SCHOOL. 19:54 KATA RAGASO GREW UP TO BECOME THE CHIEF OF CHIEFS OF ALL THE 19:57 SOLOMON ISLANDS. HE WAS INSTRUMENTAL UNDER GOD 20:03 AND LEADING THOUSANDS, MAYBE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE OUT 20:05 OF PAGANISM TO CHRIST. WHAT A MAN HE WAS. 20:12 DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR, BECAUSE HE REFUSED TO TAKE LIFE 20:18 AND BECAUSE HE REFUSED TO BREAK THE SABBATH HE WAS TAKEN BY A 20:23 MILITARY OFFICER AND BEATEN ALMOST TO A PULP. 20:27 HIS NOSE WAS BROKEN. HIS BODY WAS COVERED IN WOUNDS. 20:31 AND KATA RAGASO, AN ORDAINED ADVENTIST MINISTER, WAS THROWN 20:33 INTO PRISON BLEEDING. AND THEN THEY SAID, "BECAUSE YOU 20:38 WILL NOT TAKE LIFE AND BREAK THE SABBATH," THEY TOOK HIM OUT AND 20:41 THE COMMANDING OFFICER SAID, "ON THE COUNT OF THREE, SHOOT HIM. 20:45 PUT HIM BEFORE A FIRING SQUAD. ONE, TWO--" HE COULD NOT SAY 20:49 THREE. HE SAID IT OVER AND OVER AND 20:53 OVER AGAIN, "ONE, TWO--" AND COULD NOT SAY THREE. 20:57 AND THUS THEY LET HIM GO. A PRINCE AMONG MEN. 21:05 SOMEBODY SAID OF THIS MAN, THE LOOK UPON HIS FACE MAKES YOU 21:08 THINK THAT CHRIST WAS BLACK. AS A LITTLE BOY GROWING UP IN 21:14 BRISBANE, QUEENS, THERE IN AUSTRALIA, I WENT TO A CAMP 21:16 MEETING AND I SAW THERE A MAN WITH THE FACE OF AN ANGEL, 21:21 KATA RAGASO. AND HE PUT HIS HAND UPON MY HEAD 21:28 AND BLESSED ME IN THE NAME OF GOD. 21:31 FROM THAT TIME ONWARDS I HAD A PASSION TO BE A MISSIONARY, 21:38 AND TO WIN SOULS OUT OF DARKNESS TO CHRIST. 21:44 LATER ON WHEN I WAS GROWING UP IN BRISBANE ON THE BANKS OF THE 21:48 BRISBANE RIVER, A BIG SHIP PULLED UP ACROSS THE RIVER. 21:55 MY MOTHER WHO WAS JUST A NEW CHRISTIAN TOOK ME ON 21:58 THE BULIMBA FERRY ACROSS 22:00 THE BOSOM OF THE BRISBANE RIVER AND TOOK ME INTO THE BOWS OF THIS GREAT SHIP THAT WAS 22:06 GOING TO GO OUT TO THE ISLANDS. AND I MET THERE A WOMAN WHO WAS A SAINT OF GOD. 22:14 I WILL NEVER, NEVER, EVER FORGET HER. HER NAME WAS ELMA WILES. 22:21 AND SHE TOOK ME ON HER KNEE AND TOLD ME THAT SHE FELT THAT GOD WANTED ME TO DO SOMETHING GREAT 22:29 FOR HIM. I WAS ONLY PERHAPS 5 YEARS, 4 OR 5 YEARS OF AGE. 22:34 SHE HAD GONE OUT TO THE MISSION FIELD WITH HER HUSBAND, NORMAN. AND THEY'D ONLY BEEN THERE A 22:42 PERIOD OF MONTHS BEFORE HE GOT BLACK WATER FEVER AND THERE WERE NO OTHER PEOPLE FROM AUSTRALIA 22:50 ANYWHERE FOR HUNDREDS OF MILES. AND SHE WAS IN HEADHUNTER TERRITORY. 22:58 AND NORMAN GOT BLACK WATER FEVER 23:00 AND HE DIED. AND THERE SHE WAS A GIRL FROM 23:04 AVONDALE COLLEGE--NO FROM THE AUSTRALASIAN MISSIONARY COLLEGE, 23:08 IT WAS STILL CALLED AVONDALE. HAD A DUAL NAME IN THOSE DAYS. 23:14 AND SHE BURIED HER HUSBAND WITH HER OWN HANDS. 23:18 DUG IN THE SAND AND BURIED HIM. 23:20 AND THEN FOR DAYS SHE SAT ON THE GRAVE AND DID NOT MOVE, 23:25 BECAUSE SHE KNEW THAT THEY WOULD DIG HIM UP AND EAT HIM. 23:32 THEY WERE A SPECIAL BREED WERE THESE MISSIONARIES. 23:36 THEY HAD THE REAL STUFF. THEY WERE NOT WIMPS AND THEY 23:40 WERE NOT SUPERCILIOUS RELIGIOUS PEOPLE. 23:44 THEY WERE SOLDIERS OF CHRIST. A FRIENDLY NATIVE CARRIED WORD 23:51 TO ANOTHER MISSION STATION AND THEY SENT A BOAT AND THEY TOOK HER BACK TO AUSTRALIA. 23:55 AND WHEN SHE RECOVERED FROM HER GRIEVING SHE WENT BACK. SHE TOOK ME ON HER KNEE AND 24:03 SAID, "ONE DAY YOU MUST GO." AND THUS WHEN 24:09 PASTOR HAROLD HARKER, WHO WAS OUR OVERSEAS MANAGER 24:13 SUGGESTED WE GO TO HONIARA, I FELT IT WAS A CALL FROM GOD. AND GOD BLESSED THOSE MEETINGS. 24:21 I WANT YOU TO KNOW--LISTEN TO ME. I WANT TO THROW OUT A CHALLENGE 24:27 TO EVERY PREACHER, EVERY MINISTER, EVERY ELDER, EVERY CHURCH LEADER, 24:35 EVERY LAYPERSON. THE GREATEST DAYS FOR THE PREACHING OF THE GOSPEL OF 24:40 CHRIST ARE NOT OVER; THE BEST DAYS ARE STILL TO COME. YOU SEE, I'VE GONE TO SO MANY 24:47 PLACES WHERE PEOPLE TELL ME IT CAN'T BE DONE. I WANT YOU TO KNOW WITH GOD 24:55 ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. AND WHAT WE NEED IS TO GET RID OF THIS NEGATIVE ATTITUDE AND 25:03 START TO BECOME FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST, NOT FOLLOWERS OF MEN. WHEN WE GOT THERE WE HAD A LOT 25:15 OF WORK TO DO. I HAVE A SMALL TEAM, I BOASTFULLY SAY, I THINK IT'S 25:21 THE BEST THERE IS. 25:23 WE HIRED THIS GREAT OUTDOOR NATIONAL SOCCER STADIUM. 25:28 AND WE HAD TO PREPARE THE STAGE, THE SCREENS, THE TOWERS. 25:34 DAVID, DONN, BOB, AND DANIEL LED OUT IN THIS WORK ASSISTED BY THE 25:41 GREATEST GROUP OF PEOPLE I'VE SEEN ANYWHERE. 25:49 YOU HAVE A LOOK AT THESE SCREENS, FOLKS. 25:52 WE TRIED TO GET SOME PEOPLE, I WON'T TELL YOU WHEN, TO DO IT 25:59 FOR US. THEY SAID WE CAN DO IT FOR YOU 26:02 FOR $250,000. WE SAID, "ARE YOU PLANNING YOUR 26:07 RETIREMENT, ARE YOU?" $250,000, THE SOLOMON ISLANDERS 26:13 STEPPED INTO THE BREACH AND THEY BUILT THE STAGE AND THE SCREENS 26:17 AND THE TOWERS FOR UNDER $20,000. 26:21 AND THEY DID IT MORE EFFECTIVELY AND MORE EFFICIENTLY THAN I HAVE 26:24 SEEN ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. THESE ARE THE CHILDREN 26:32 OF KATA RAGASO. THESE ARE THE CHILDREN 26:35 AND THE GRANDCHILDREN OF THE HEADHUNTERS. 26:37 YOU CAN GET SOME IDEA OF THE SIZE OF THE SCREENS AND THE SIZE 26:42 OF THE FOOTBALL FIELD. THE LARGEST CROWD THAT THAT 26:47 NATIONAL SOCCER STADIUM HAD EVER HAD WAS 22,000 SOULS WHO CAME TO 26:53 SEE A NATIONAL MATCH. I WANT TO TELL YOU THE GOSPEL IS 26:58 MORE POWERFUL THAN FOOTBALL. YOU LISTENING TO ME? 27:04 THE PA SYSTEM HAD BEEN PUT TOGETHER BY BOB LUDWIG 27:10 AND DONN BEAGLE. WE PURCHASED IT HERE IN THE 27:13 UNITED STATES. A DEAL, IT COST AROUND $35,000. 27:18 WE DON'T HAVE ALL OUR PROJECTORS HERE IN THE CHURCH NOW. 27:20 THAT'S WHY THE SCREENS WERE A LITTLE, NOT QUITE AS STRONG AS 27:24 WE'D LIKE THEM TO BE. AND WE DON'T HAVE PROJECTORS FOR 27:27 THE CENTER SCREEN, BUT THAT'S OKAY. 27:29 BECAUSE WE FLEW 4 GIANT PROJECTORS WITH 25, 10, NO, 27:37 15, 25, WITH 50,000 LUMENS OF POWER. 27:41 WE FLEW THOSE OUT TO THE SOLOMONS AT THE COST OF $30,000. 27:46 YOU SAY, "WHY NOT?" IT IS THE GREATEST, THE MOST 27:50 IMPORTANT THING IN ALL OF THE WORLD. 27:53 IF YOU WANT TO SPEND YOUR MONEY PROPERLY, PUT IT INTO PREACHING 27:55 THE GOSPEL. THIS WORLD IS GOING TO BURN UP 27:58 SOON. AND THEN WE SENT OUT A HEAP OF 28:04 OTHER STUFF ALSO BY CONTAINER. AND WE SENT THEM 10,000 BIBLES. 28:09 AND YOU, THIS CHURCH, AND OUR SUPPORTERS MADE IT POSSIBLE. 28:14 AND IT'S THE BEST THING YOU'VE EVER DONE IN SPENDING YOUR 28:16 MONEY. THE SOCCER STADIUM--HUGE PLACE. 28:21 WE HAD A 2-WEEK WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY. 28:24 YOU SAY, "WELL, THAT'S NOT LONG ENOUGH." 28:26 I WANT YOU TO KNOW, MY FRIEND, THE LORD IS GOING TO DO 28:29 A SHORT WORK ON THIS EARTH IN THE LAST DAYS. 28:33 THE LORD DOESN'T NEED ALL THE TIME WE THINK THE LORD NEEDS. 28:36 AND WE HAD 2 WEEKS AND THAT WAS TO SET UP THE STAGE AND THE 28:39 SCREENS. AND THESE ARE TINY BLACKBOARDS, 28:44 BUT GIANT BLACKBOARDS LIKE THESE--YOU KNOW, WE HAD-- 28:47 I'D IMAGINE BLACKBOARDS EIGHT TIMES BIGGER THAN THESE. 28:52 AND YOU CAN SEE THE SCREENS DOWN THE END THERE AND WE WENT AHEAD 28:58 IN FAITH. AND IT WAS HOT. 29:01 IT'S RIGHT NEAR THE EQUATOR. I DON'T MIND GOING TO RUSSIA IN 29:05 THE MIDDLE OF WINTER, BUT I DON'T LIKE THE REAL HEAT. 29:08 IT WAS HOT AND STEAMY. IT WAS LIKE TAKING A SAUNA 29:11 ALL DAY LONG. NOW, WHO WAS THE AUDIENCE? 29:15 WELL, THEIR GRANDPARENTS HAD BEEN DEVIL WORSHIPERS. 29:19 AND ONCE UPON A TIME THEY HAD BEEN CANNIBALS. 29:22 THESE HAD BEEN FIERCE PEOPLE. AND THEN THERE CAME THE FIRST 29:27 MISSIONARIES. THERE WAS THE GREAT OLD SEA 29:31 CAPTAIN OF WHOM I HAVE REFERRED TODAY. 29:35 BUT THEN THERE CAME OTHER MISSIONARIES AND MY HEART IS 29:40 OVERWHELMED BY THE MISSIONARIES WHO CAME TO THIS PART OF THE 29:45 WORLD, BECAUSE BASICALLY WHAT HAPPENED WAS THIS. 29:49 THEY CAME FROM AUSTRALIA AND THEY WERE GRADUATES 29:52 OF THE COLLEGE. AND THE MISSION BOAT BASICALLY 29:55 DROPPED THEM OFF ON THE BEACH AND SAID, "GOD BLESS YOU." 29:59 TAKE YOUR SUITCASES AND BUILD A HOUSE FOR YOURSELVES 30:04 AND BUILD A CHURCH AND BUILD A SCHOOL. 30:09 AND WIN SOULS TO CHRIST. AND THEY DID. 30:14 THEY NEVER COMPLAINED. AND THEIR NAMES ARE IMMORTALIZED 30:19 IN HEAVEN. AND OF COURSE THERE WAS MALARIA. 30:27 SO, I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU THE AUDIENCE NOW THAT WE 30:30 PREACHED TO. THE AUDIENCE BACKSLIDDEN 30:32 BELIEVERS, PEOPLE TURNING BACK TO THE OLD GODS, THEY'RE 30:37 BRINGING THE GODS BACK OUT OF THE JUNGLE. 30:40 BELIEVERS OF VARIOUS FAITHS IN SEARCH OF THE WORD OF GOD, 30:44 YOUNG AND OLD. THE MEETINGS WENT FOR TEN 30:48 NIGHTS, ONE SABBATH MORNING, PLUS TWO DOUBLE SESSIONS. 30:54 I PREACHED FROM 7 TO 8 AND SAY, "CAN I HAVE A LITTLE PAUSE? 30:59 HAVE A DRINK?" "YES." 30:59 THEN I'D PREACH ANOTHER SESSION. AND WE WENT THROUGH THE GOSPEL. 31:06 I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THIS. I WANT TO SAY THIS TO OUR 31:08 FRIENDS AND OUR SUPPORTERS. WHEN WE GO TO A PLACE WE HAVE A 31:15 NUMBER OF AIMS, WE HAVE A NUMBER OF GOALS. 31:19 BUT OUR MAIN GOAL IS TO TELL PEOPLE ABOUT CHRIST 31:23 AND HIS LOVE. WE BELIEVE, MY FRIEND, THAT THE 31:28 GOSPEL IS STILL THE POWER OF GOD FOR THE SALVATION OF EVERYONE 31:35 WHO BELIEVES, WHO TRUSTS, AND WHO RELIES UPON CHRIST. 31:40 WE BELIEVE THAT THE GOSPEL IS THE GREATEST POWER IN THE WORLD 31:44 TODAY AND IF IT'S NOT WORKING, MY FRIEND, IN YOUR LIFE, 31:49 IT'S BECAUSE YOU DON'T BELIEVE. BUT THE GOSPEL RECEIVED INTO 31:53 THE HEART CHANGES THE SOUL. WHAT AN AUDIENCE. 31:59 WE STARTED WITH AROUND 15,000 PEOPLE. 32:02 WE'D ASK SOME OF THE LOCALS, "HOW MANY DO YOU THINK WILL 32:04 COME?" THEY SAID 6,000. 32:08 "WE EXPECT 6,000." WE DID TELEVISION ADVERTISING 32:13 SUCH AS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE IN THAT PART OF THE WORLD. 32:16 AND WE HAD 15,000 FOR THE OPENING. 32:19 AND SOON IT HAD BROKEN THE RECORD OF 22-23,000, 32:24 25,000, THEN IT WAS 30,000. THEN IT WAS 35,000 PEOPLE. AND WE DON'T KNOW IF THERE WERE 32:33 MORE THAN 35,000 PEOPLE BECAUSE EVERY INCH OF THE PLACE WAS TAKEN IN THESE--OVER THERE YOU 32:42 COULD SEE PEOPLE--THERE'S ABOUT 2,000 PEOPLE IN THAT BUILDING. AND THERE WAS A HOSPITAL OVER 32:49 THE ROAD AND THEY BROUGHT OUT THE PATIENTS TO HEAR THE WORD OF GOD IN THE HOSPITAL. 32:54 AND THERE WAS A BIG HILL BACK ON MY RIGHT, AT THE BACK. AND THAT HILL WAS FILLED WITH 33:01 PEOPLE. I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW MY FRIEND, IT WASN'T THE DOING OF A 33:06 MAN. IT WAS THE DOING OF THE THIRD PERSON, OF THE GUARDIAN, 33:12 THE HOLY SPIRIT. THE HOLY SPIRIT IS ALIVE AND WELL ON PLANET EARTH. 33:19 YOU KNOW THE TEXT. I JUST QUOTED ROMANS 1:16. 33:22 I'M NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL. IT'S THE POWER OF GOD UNTO 33:26 SALVATION TO EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES, TO THE JEW FIRST AND 33:31 ALSO TO THE GREEK. NOW, YOU'LL NEED A MICROPHONE. YOU READY MADAM? 33:41 MRS. SUSAN PIRAINO CAME WITH US. I CAN'T GET ANY OF THE REST OF THE CREW TO COME UP, BECAUSE 33:47 THEY'RE RUNNING THE PROGRAM TODAY. BUT SUSAN, YOU COME ON OVER. 33:52 AND LET ME SAY GOOD MORNING. >> GOOD MORNING. 33:58 >> ARE YOU GLAD THAT YOU WENT TO THE SOLOMON'S? 34:01 >> AM I EVER GLAD I WENT THERE. YES, INDEED. 34:03 >> YOU LIKE THE CLIMATE? >> NO, IT WAS VERY HOT 34:06 AND HUMID. >> I KNOW JAVIER WAS SORT OF-- 34:10 >> ALWAYS WET. >> YEAH, I KNOW. 34:12 >> SORT OF JUST DRIPPED DOWN YOUR BODY. 34:14 >> I KNOW. IT'S NOT A PLACE WHERE YOU PUT 34:16 ON A LOT OF WEIGHT, THAT'S FOR SURE. 34:18 BUT YOU CAN LOSE SOME. TELL ME FROM YOUR SOUL, FROM YOUR HEART, WHAT MOVED YOU? 34:25 WHAT TOUCHED YOU? >> WELL, I'VE BEEN TO--THIS IS LIKE MY 18TH CAMPAIGN, BUT THIS 34:30 ONE FOR SOME REASON JUST HIT THE HEART MORE THAN ANY OF THE OTHERS, BECAUSE, I THINK, AS IN 34:36 ROMAN SAYS WE SAW THE POWER OF GOD. AND EVERY NIGHT WE SAW THE POWER 34:42 AT WORK. AND I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT SOME THINGS THAT HAPPENED 34:44 THERE, BUT JUST THE PEOPLE THAT WOULD COME AND HOW IT CONTINUED TO GROW. 34:49 AND THE PEOPLE WERE OUTSIDE AND SOMETIMES WE SAW THEM HOLDING UP THE PHONES. 34:55 YOU KNOW, HERE WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH EVERYBODY BRINGING THEIR PHONE TO TEXT, TAKE PICTURES. 34:59 AND WE THOUGHT, "OH, HERE THEY ARE WITH ALL THEIR PHONES NOW." BUT THE REASON THEY WERE HOLDING 35:03 UP THEIR PHONES--THEY WERE LIKE THIS, IS BECAUSE THEY HAD FAMILY MEMBERS AT HOME OR OTHER ISLANDS 35:07 THAT THEY WANTED TO HEAR THE MEETINGS SO THEY WERE USING THEIR PHONES AS, LIKE A RADIO, 35:13 SO THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS COULD HEAR. AND THAT WAS JUST AMAZING TO 35:17 SEE. >> WAS IT A NOISY IRREVERENT AUDIENCE? 35:20 >> NO, AS YOU CAN SEE THERE WAS TONS OF CHILDREN, BABIES, LITTLE ONES, JUST THOUSANDS OF THEM, 35:26 BUT YOU DID NOT HEAR A WORD AT ALL. YOU WOULDN'T HEAR THEM STIR. 35:30 YOU WOULDN'T HEAR THEM CRY. YOU WOULDN'T HEAR ANYTHING. AND I'M LOOKING AT THE AUDIENCE, 35:34 'CAUSE I WAS OUT TAKING PICTURES. AND I'M THINKING, "HOW ARE THESE 35:36 KIDS SO QUIET?" THEY WERE SORT OF JUST FIXATED TO THE STAGE AND TO HEAR YOU 35:43 PREACH. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I FOUND WAS INCREDIBLE IS THE DAY 35:47 WE LEFT WE HAD PEOPLE COMING TO THE MISSION FLATS TO SAY THANK YOU TO YOU FOR COMING AND FOR 35:53 PREACHING. AND WE HAD ONE YOUNG MAN WHO WAS VERY TEARY. 35:56 AND HE CAME AND HE SAID, "YOU KNOW PASTOR CARTER WE HAVE HAD MANY PREACHERS COME TO THE 36:00 ISLANDS," AND HE SAID, "BUT WHEN YOU PREACHED WE ALL UNDERSTOOD IT. 36:06 WE UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING YOU SAID." BECAUSE THEY SPEAK PIDGIN AND SO 36:10 SOME OF THEM IT'S HARD TO UNDERSTAND. BUT YOU HE SAID, "WE NEVER 36:13 UNDERSTOOD THE REST OF THE PREACHERS, BUT WE UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING YOU SAID. 36:17 AND WE UNDERSTOOD THE GOSPEL." >> I THINK THAT'S A MIRACLE. >> YES IT IS. 36:21 BECAUSE THAT JUST SHOWS THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. >> YEAH, I KNOW. 36:24 IT'S LIKE THE GIFT OF TONGUES. IT REALLY IS. >> IT IS. 36:27 AND YOU KNOW, HE SAID--HE WAS CRYING AND HE SAID, YOU KNOW, "I HOPE I CAN SHARE THIS WITH 36:32 MY FAMILY, BECAUSE THEY'RE IN OTHER ISLANDS." AND I JUST RECEIVED AN E-MAIL 36:35 FROM PASTOR WAYNE BOEHM, WHO'S 36:37 THE MISSION PRESIDENT THERE. >> WHAT A GREAT GUY. 36:38 >> OH, HE'S WONDERFUL. WHAT A JOB HE HAS THERE NOW. 36:42 BUT HE JUST SENT ME AN E-MAIL AND HE SAID THAT THEY'VE HAD 36:44 VARIOUS BAPTISMS OF PEOPLE FROM OTHER DENOMINATIONS-- 36:49 >> THE PRESIDENT OF ONE OTHER CHURCH. 36:51 >> YEAH, THE PRESIDENT OF ONE CHURCH BAPTIZED AND NOW IS 36:53 BRINGING A LOT OF HIS CHURCH MEMBERS. 36:55 BUT HE HAD SOMEBODY ELSE BAPTIZED AS WELL. 36:57 AND HE IS NOW WANTING TO GO TO HIS ISLANDS. 37:00 SO HE'S WANTING TO TAKE THE TRUTH THAT HE HEARD HERE AT 37:04 SOLOMON ISLANDS, TO HIS ISLANDS, BECAUSE HE WANTS HIS PEOPLE TO KNOW THE TRUTH AS WELL. 37:07 >> WERE YOU BLESSED? >> OH, I WAS BLESSED MORE THAN EVER. 37:10 >> HALLELUJAH. PRAISE GOD. GOD BLESS YOU. 37:13 >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, SUSIE. GOOD STORY. 37:18 NOW LISTEN, MY FRIENDS. I SAY THIS TO THE GLORY OF GOD. GOD HAS GIVEN ME A LITTLE TEAM, 37:27 BUT I THINK THEY'RE SECOND TO NONE. 37:29 DAVID DOES THE TELEVISION WORK. DONN AND BOB ON THE SOUND. 37:35 YOU DON'T GET BETTER GUYS ON THE SOUND. 37:36 I MEAN, BOB HAS DONE THE SOUND FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF 37:40 PRESIDENTS OF THE U.S.A. DANIEL ON THE COMPUTERS WITH 37:43 CARLOS. GREAT JOB. 37:46 SUSIE, JAVIER, WHO WAS--GUESS WHAT JAVIER DID? 37:51 HE WAS THE CHEF. DON'T EVER SAY COOK, FOLKS. 37:54 HE'LL GET MAD AT YOU. PASTOR HAROLD HARKER, WHO WAS 37:57 THE CAMPAIGN MANAGER. PASTOR WAYNE BOEHM, WHO IS THE 38:01 PRESIDENT OF THE MISSION. CHILD OF GOD, SAINTS OF GOD, 38:05 THESE FOLKS. I LOVE THEM. 38:08 CAROL BOEHM FROM MY OLD CHURCH AT WAHROONGA. 38:11 GOD BLESS YOU CAROL. SHARON WHO SANG LIKE AN ANGEL. 38:18 PLUS THE SOLOMON ISLANDERS. I WANT TO TELL YOU WHAT IS SO 38:24 GOOD ABOUT IT. SOMETIMES YOU RUN A CAMPAIGN AND 38:27 YOU KNOW THAT THERE'S SO MUCH ANTAGONISM TO WHAT YOU'RE 38:31 DOING. BUT BEFORE I PREACH THERE EVERY 38:34 NIGHT, THERE WAS A BIG GROUP OF SOLOMON ISLANDERS, MEN AND WOMEN 38:39 WHO WERE WAITING AND THEY WOULD GET AROUND ME. 38:42 AND THEY WOULD LAY THEIR HANDS ON ME AND THEY WOULD PRAY 38:46 FOR ME. AND THEY TALKED IN PIDGIN, BUT I 38:48 UNDERSTOOD WHAT THEY WERE SAYING. 38:50 I KNEW WHAT THEY WERE SAYING. BUT TO KNOW THAT YOU'RE BEING 38:54 SUPPORTED BY THE PRAYERS OF THE SAINTS. 38:59 AND THEY WOULD PRAY THAT GOD WOULD HOLD BACK THE BAD WEATHER. 39:02 NOW, THIS IS MY PRAYER GROUP. A DIFFERENT GROUP EVERY NIGHT. 39:08 I WANT TO TELL YOU FOLKS SOMETHING. 39:09 THE GOSPEL HAS GOT POWER. YOU CAN SEE IT IN THE LIVES THAT 39:15 HAVE BEEN CHANGED. NOW, I THINK I SHOULD READ A 39:18 TEXT TO YOU. I WANT YOU TO COME OVER HERE TO 39:19 EPHESIANS 6. NOW, COME OVER HERE FAST TO 39:23 EPHESIANS 6:10-13. 39:27 EPHESIANS 6:10-13. YOU GOT IT? 39:33 "FINALLY, BE STRONG IN THE LORD AND IN HIS MIGHTY POWER." 39:35 THE BIBLE SAYS DON'T BE A SPIRITUAL WEAKLING. 39:39 BE STRONG. DON'T BE A COMPLAINER. 39:42 "PUT ON THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD SO THAT YOU CAN TAKE YOUR STAND 39:45 AGAINST THE DEVIL'S SCHEMES." THERE IS A DEVIL. 39:49 "FOR OUR STRUGGLE IS NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD, BUT AGAINST THE 39:52 RULERS, AGAINST THE AUTHORITIES, AGAINST THE POWERS OF THIS DARK 39:58 WORLD AND AGAINST THE SPIRITUAL FORCES OF EVIL IN THE HEAVENLY 40:03 REALMS. THEREFORE PUT ON THE FULL ARMOR 40:07 OF GOD, SO THAT WHEN THE DAY OF EVIL COMES, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO 40:12 STAND YOUR GROUND, AND AFTER YOU'VE DONE EVERYTHING," 40:16 WHAT DOES IT SAY? TO STAND. 40:18 NOW, I'M GOING TO TELL YOU FOLKS SOME THINGS AND I WANT YOU TO 40:23 LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY. THE NIGHT I WAS GOING TO SPEAK ON SPIRITISM, I FELT A STRONG 40:34 CONVICTION THAT SOMETHING WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. THAT WE WERE GOING TO BE UNDER 40:40 ATTACK IN THE MEETING. SO, WHEN WE HAD LUNCH TOGETHER WITH JAVIER AND SUSIE AND ALL 40:46 THE TEAM, I SAID, "FOLKS, I HAVE A CONVICTION THAT SOMETHING'S GOING TO HAPPEN TONIGHT AND WE 40:50 NEED TO BE ON OUR GUARD." SO, I PRAYED WITH THEM. AND DAVID MET WITH HIS GROUP AND 40:55 SAID, "DON'T LAUGH ABOUT THIS. WE'RE IN A PLACE WHERE THE DEVIL IS BAREFACED." 41:01 IN AMERICA AND AUSTRALIA HE'S TWO FACED, BUT HERE HE'S BAREFACED. 41:06 SOON AS I WALKED OUT ON THE STAGE AND ANNOUNCED THE TOPIC THAT I WAS GOING TO TALK ON 41:12 SPIRITISM. SOON AS I SAID IT, THERE CAME A TREMENDOUS GUST OF WIND. 41:19 JUST ABOUT BLEW ME OFF THE STAGE. AND THEN THE HEAVENS OPENED UP 41:23 AND THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME IT HAD HAPPENED. IT STARTED TO RAIN. 41:27 AND THE RAIN--YOU CAN SEE IT HERE. 41:29 THE RAIN CAME DOWN AND IT CAME DOWN IN BUCKETS. 41:33 SO, I THOUGHT WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN? 41:35 WE'RE GOING TO LOSE THIS ENTIRE AUDIENCE OF 30,000 PEOPLE. 41:41 SO, I WALKED--I WAS IN THE RAIN, OF COURSE. 41:44 NOWHERE TO GO. WHERE WOULD YOU WANT--WHY WOULD 41:45 YOU WANT TO RUN AWAY? SO, I SAID TO THE AUDIENCE, 41:51 "I'M ASKING YOU IN THE NAME OF CHRIST TO STAY WITH ME. 41:53 THIS IS AN ATTACK BY THE PRINCE OF THE POWER OF THE AIR. 41:58 AND I'M ASKING YOU TONIGHT TO STAY WITH ME." 41:59 YOU WANT TO KNOW SOMETHING? OUT OF AN AUDIENCE OF MORE THAN 42:03 30,000, WE LOST LESS THAN 50 PEOPLE. 42:06 MAYBE 100 PEOPLE. THERE WERE MOTHERS WHO RAN TO 42:10 GET OUT OF THE RAIN, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THEY LEFT THE 42:14 MEETING. BUT EVERYBODY SAT AND THEY 42:17 STAYED RIGHT THROUGH THE MEETING AS THE RAIN CAME POURING DOWN. 42:20 AND I ASKED GOD, I SAID, "GOD, IN THE NAME OF CHRIST, 42:24 STOP THE RAIN. SAVE YOUR PEOPLE HERE." 42:29 AND THE RAIN STARTED TO STOP. AND SOON THE RAIN HAD STOPPED 42:32 ALL TOGETHER. I THEN WENT INTO AN ALTAR CALL. 42:35 AND YOU CAN SEE IT ON THE SCREEN. 42:37 AND I GUESS WE HAD AT LEAST 10,000 PEOPLE, MAYBE 15,000 42:42 PEOPLE COME FORWARD TO ACKNOWLEDGE CHRIST BEFORE MEN. 42:48 TO PUBLICLY CONFESS HIM AND TURN THEIR BACKS ON THE WORKS OF 42:50 DARKNESS. MY FRIEND, HE'S ALIVE. 42:54 GOD IS ALIVE. WE ARE IN A REAL CONFLICT 42:56 BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND CHRIST. WHAT SIDE ARE YOU ON? 43:01 HAVE YOU GIVEN YOUR LIFE TO CHRIST? 43:03 ARE YOU FOLLOWING CHRIST? OR ARE YOU TRYING TO LIVE WITH 43:08 THE DEVIL AND TRYING TO LIVE WITH CHRIST? 43:10 IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK. WHEN THE NIGHT CAME FOR THE MARK 43:14 OF THE BEAST--YOU SAY, "YOU PREACH THAT STUFF?" 43:16 WELL, THE BIBLE TELLS YOU TO. YOU SAY, "BUT--" NO, NO, NO. 43:21 UNLESS YOU CAN SHOW ME WHY I SHOULDN'T, FROM THE BIBLE, 43:24 I'M GOING TO KEEP DOING WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS. 43:26 REVELATION 14 SAYS IT IS GIVEN WITH A LOUD VOICE, BUT WE OUGHT 43:30 TO DO IT IN LOVE. AND WHEN I WENT OUT TO PREACH 43:33 THAT NIGHT, I STARTED TO PREACH--AND I WANT TO TELL YOU 43:37 THIS SOFTLY. I FELT A HAND ON MY LEFT 43:44 SHOULDER. STRONG AS ANYTHING. 43:49 I IMMEDIATELY TURNED AROUND. I THOUGHT IT'S DAVID OR 43:52 SOMEBODY, OR PASTOR HARKER. THERE'S NOBODY THERE, FOLKS. 43:57 I JUST SAID, "LORD, BE MERCIFUL TO US AND PROTECT US." 44:03 WE WERE IN THE MIDST OF A BATTLE. 44:05 I WANT YOU TO KNOW THIS. I WANT THIS WORD TO GO OUT 44:09 AROUND THE WORLD. IN HONIARA, 44:11 THE LORD JESUS CHRIST WAS MAGNIFIED AND HE GAVE US 44:14 THE VICTORY. NOW, LISTEN IT'S TRUE. 44:19 AND ANOTHER NIGHT, I CAME OUT TO PREACH. 44:23 THIS WAS THE NIGHT THE PRIME MINISTER CAME 44:25 AND ALL OF HIS CABINET. HE'D HEARD ABOUT THE MEETINGS 44:27 AND HE SAID, "I WANT TO COME." AND HE CAME AND HE THANKED ME 44:31 PERSONALLY ON BEHALF OF THE GOVERNMENT FOR COMING. 44:35 WHEN I MADE AN APPEAL THAT NIGHT IN THE ALTAR CALL, HE AND HIS 44:38 MINISTERS RESPONDED. THAT'S GOOD FOLKS. 44:41 GLORY BE TO GOD. YOU KNOW, GOD CAN EVEN SAVE 44:44 PRIME MINISTERS AND PRESIDENTS. GOD WANTS TO SAVE EVERYBODY 44:50 WHO WILL BE SAVED. BUT AS I ARRIVED AT THE MEETING 44:55 AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW, DID WE HAVE MUSIC, DID WE HAVE MUSIC. 45:01 THESE FOLKS--THE MUSICAL GROUPS WE HAD WERE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. 45:10 YOU ASK BOB LUDWIG AND DONN, BECAUSE THEY RECORDED THEM. 45:15 WHEN WE CAME THAT NIGHT THERE WAS A TREMENDOUS STORM OVER 45:19 IRON BOTTOM BAY, QUITE A CANAL WHERE THE AMERICAN'S LOST 45:23 A HEAP OF SHIPS AND THE JAPANESE LOST MORE. 45:29 THE BATTLE FOR THE SOUTH PACIFIC REALLY STARTED AT GUADALCANAL, 45:32 THE GREAT BATTLE TO TURN THE FORCES OF EVIL BACK. 45:37 AND SUSIE HAD A CAMERA THERE AND WE WERE LOOKING OUT OVER THE BAY 45:42 AND THERE WAS A TREMENDOUS STORM. IT WAS JUST ROARING. 45:45 I SAID, "GOD, DON'T SEND THIS STORM, DON'T LET IT COME TONIGHT." 45:49 AND THAT WAS ON MY LEFT SIDE AND I LOOKED ON MY RIGHT SIDE AND THERE WAS A TREMENDOUS STORM 45:55 COMING UP. AND IT WAS TALKING. IT WAS THUNDERING AND GROWLING. 46:03 AND THE LIGHTENING WAS FLASHING ON BOTH SIDES. AND WE CRIED OUT TO THE LORD IN 46:09 THE NAME OF JESUS. I WANT YOU TO KNOW THIS FOLKS, WE DIDN'T GET A DROP OF RAIN, 46:14 NOT A BIT. THE LORD HELD IT BACK. I WANT YOU TO HAVE FAITH TODAY. 46:21 I WANT YOU TO KNOW, HE'S ALIVE. I MADE A CALL FOR BAPTISM. AND WE HAVE A SPECIAL WAY OF 46:29 DOING IT. 46:32 WE GIVE OUT CARDS AND THEN WE COLLECT THE CARDS IN THESE 46:37 CONTAINERS. AND WE BRING DOWN THE CARDS AND 46:39 ABOUT 4,000 SOULS IN THE FIRST CALL FOR BAPTISM SIGNED 46:45 THEIR NAMES IN A COVENANT WITH GOD. 46:48 WE HAD A SENSE THAT GOD WAS THERE. 46:53 THEN THE SABBATH MORNING CAME WHEN WE WERE GOING TO HAVE THE 46:56 BAPTISM. WE HAD A GREAT CHOIR FROM 46:59 BETIKAMA COLLEGE. WE HAD WONDERFUL MUSIC. 47:06 WE HAD--THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO GOT BAPTIZED DRESSED IN WHITE. 47:12 AND THEN WE TOOK THEM DOWN TO A RIVER WHICH IS INFESTED WITH 47:17 CROCODILES. LAST YEAR A WOMAN WAS TAKEN BY A 47:23 CROCODILE NEAR BETIKAMA. HER HUSBAND WENT TO SAVE HER AND 47:28 THE CROCODILE LET HER GO AND TURNED ON HIM AND KILLED HIM. 47:32 SO, WE HAD SOME BOYS WHO WERE SITTING BESIDE THE BAPTISM WITH 47:37 LONG STICKS HITTING THE WATER. BUT WE HAD TENS OF THOUSANDS OF 47:42 PEOPLE THERE AND WE SAW THESE PRECIOUS AND BEAUTIFUL AND 47:47 WONDERFUL SOULS. I WANT YOU TO KNOW, MY FRIEND, 47:51 JESUS IS ALIVE AND WELL. PASTOR HARKER SAID TO ME--'CAUSE 47:54 HE'S AN OLD MISSIONARY, A GREAT MISSIONARY, HE SAID, "TODAY WE 47:59 HAVE EXPERIENCED PENTECOST." I WANT YOU TO KNOW, MY FRIEND, 48:03 GOD IS ALIVE. YOU KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS? 48:07 WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS? 48:10 THE PROBLEM'S WITH US. WE DON'T HAVE FAITH. 48:13 WE DON'T BELIEVE AS WE USED TO. I HAVE SOME CONCLUSIONS. 48:18 LISTEN TO THESE CONCLUSIONS. YOU LISTENING? 48:21 THE GOSPEL IS STILL THE POWER. IF YOU GO TO A CHURCH WHERE THE 48:28 GOSPEL IS NOT PREACHED, YOU'D BETTER GO AND FIND 48:30 ANOTHER CHURCH. BUT THE GOSPEL IS STILL THE 48:34 POWER OF GOD. IT'S THE GREATEST FORCE IN THE 48:38 UNIVERSE. AND IF IT'S NOT MAKING A CHANGE 48:40 IN YOUR LIFE, MY FRIEND, IT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT LETTING THE 48:43 GOSPEL DO WHAT THE GOSPEL DOES. STILL THE POWER. 48:48 NUMBER TWO, THE WORLD NEEDS MORE THAN RELIGION WITH ITS RITES AND 48:54 CEREMONIES. ALMOST ALL MAN-MADE RELIGION IS 48:58 NOT ONLY NASTY, IT IS BAD. THE WORLD NEEDS MORE 49:04 THAN RELIGION WITH ITS RITES AND CEREMONIES; 49:06 IT NEEDS THE HOLY SPIRIT. WE NEED PEOPLE FILLED WITH THE 49:09 HOLY SPIRIT. AND HERE'S THE THIRD TRUTH. 49:14 AND I SAY THIS TO THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T BELIEVE. 49:18 GREAT CROWDS WILL STILL COME TO HEAR THE GOSPEL PREACHED. 49:23 I'VE SEEN IT AROUND THE WORLD. SOUTH AFRICA, RUSSIA. 49:27 MILLIONS CAME IN RUSSIA AND UKRAINE. 49:29 I'VE SEEN HUGE CROWDS. AND POINT NUMBER FOUR, WE NEED 49:35 TO REAPPRAISE WHAT WE CONSIDER IS IMPORTANT. 49:41 JESUS SAID, "SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS 49:47 RIGHTEOUSNESS." THE BIBLE TELLS US, "DO NOT SEEK 49:52 THAT WHICH IS IMPORTANT. SEEK THAT WHICH IS BEYOND 49:56 IMPORTANT. SEEK THAT WHICH IS VITAL AND 50:00 NECESSARY." THE MOST IMPORTANT. 50:05 I BRING YOU THIS REPORT TODAY THAT YOU MAY KNOW THAT 50:13 THE HOLY SPIRIT IS ALIVE AND WELL ON PLANET EARTH. 50:20 AND WE HAVE SEEN THE GLORY OF THE COMING OF THE LORD. 50:27 I WANT YOU ALL NOW TO KNEEL. WE'RE GOING TO PRAY. 50:32 NOW, THOSE OF YOU HAVE A LOOK AT THIS PAN HERE AS YOU GET DOWN 50:34 ON YOUR KNEES. LET'S HAVE A LOOK AT THIS PAN. 50:38 PEOPLE GO AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE. 50:46 LET'S GET DOWN ON OUR KNEES. OUR FATHER, ON OUR KNEES WE 50:52 WORSHIP YOU. WE BLESS YOU. 50:55 WE PRAISE YOU. 50:58 WE THANK YOU THAT THE WORK IS NOT OF MAN, BUT THE WORK IS OF GOD. 51:02 WE PRAY TODAY THAT YOU WILL LIFT US OUT OF OUR LITTLE SAFE ZONES, OUT OF OUR BUBBLES OF 51:09 RELIGIOSITY, AND INTRODUCE US TO THE POWER OF THE GOSPEL, TO CHRIST. 51:16 HELP US TO BECOME TRUE DISCIPLES OF CHRIST, PEOPLE WHO FEED ON THE WORD OF GOD. 51:23 NOT PEOPLE WHO ARE SUPERCILIOUS AND JUST RELIGIOUS, BUT PEOPLE WHO KNOW IN THEIR OWN HEARTS 51:28 THAT CHRIST IS ALIVE. THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT CROWDS. THANK YOU FOR THE MULTITUDES WHO 51:36 CAME TO CHRIST BY THE TENS OF THE THOUSANDS. THANK YOU FOR THE PRIME MINISTER 51:41 AND THE CABINET WHO ALL CAME. THANK YOU FOR THE NEW BELIEVERS TODAY. 51:47 THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORTERS IN THIS CHURCH WHO MADE IT POSSIBLE. 51:52 WE WORSHIP YOU. WE BLESS YOU. WE PRAISE YOU. 51:55 WE GIVE YOU GLORY. AND WE THANK YOU WITH ALL OUR HEARTS. 52:00 IN JESUS' NAME.
