Our text tonight is in the 16th chapter
of the book of Judges.
Judges, the 16th chapter, reading verse 6.
And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I
pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, and
wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict me.
One of the old European versions of the
scripture has an extra word in this text,
and the extra word is secret.
So then the text reads, Tell me, I
pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, and
wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict me.
Now you may not want to accept that
word secret.
You say it's not there by inspiration, and
that's true, but it's there by influence anyhow.
This is a question of a woman of
the world to a man of God.
It will be a great day, and God
hasten it, when the world again begins to
ask the Church what.
I believe right now the world has a
suspicion that the Church has no strength.
About 400 years ago in England we had
a breed of men, a very unusual breed,
most Englishmen are, but they were a very
unusual breed.
By any standard they were giants, morally, spiritually,
intellectually.
And history has classified them as the Puritans.
Quite a number of them, but I think
the tallest of them, theologically, spiritually, was John
Owen.
John Owen left us a massive volume on
the Holy Spirit.
That is my interest right now.
My interest is this, and he criticized men
this way.
He said the sin of men in the
Old Testament was against the Father.
The sin of men in the New Testament,
he said, was against the Son.
And the sin of men in my day,
he said, 400 years ago, is against the
Holy Spirit.
The sin of men in my day, he
said, 400 years ago, is against the Holy
Spirit.
I think if he came back he wouldn't
need to mollify that criticism in any way.
I've said, I shall say tonight, say other
nights, that I believe that this is the
most perilous hour in the history of America.
In the last two or three years I
have been able to preach at the National
Convention of the Southern Baptists, at the Florida
State Convention, at the Texas State Convention, and
at each of them I've said I would
like to give all the preachers a sheet
of paper and a pencil and ask them
to write on that piece of paper what
or who they think is the greatest threat.
And I've said and still say that I
don't think ten percent of them could give
me the right answer.
They might start off with the devil and
finish with the Democrats, and in between have
drink and dope and I don't know what
else, divorce.
But I believe the greatest threat to America
tonight is God.
If you haven't read any books by Francis
Schaeffer, who is a full-blooded American in
one sense, I think one of the great
spiritual intellectuals of our time, he's running the
Liabri Fellowship there in Switzerland.
It's a rescue station for intellectuals.
Some kids from the richest homes in America,
kids that have had the very best of
everything.
They've done his own things and yuck.
They lived in millionaires' homes.
They've had the finest of education, but they
hit the gutter.
They got caught in the vortex of modern
life.
And they've made their own pilgrimage there to
the Liabri Fellowship in Switzerland with a language
something.
If you don't have the answer, we can't
find the answer in the churches in America.
But I'm interested in this observation he makes
in his book called Death in the City,
which is only about a dollar and a
quarter.
He says, remember this, that every
leading...
Where is that church tonight?
God said that he was married to Israel.
God said he divorced Israel.
In between, God hasn't bothered with Israel football
and every nation has kicked around.
Five times in history, they have been almost
annihilated.
God hasn't bothered with Israel, the people he
married for 2,000 years.
What makes you think he didn't walk out
on America or England?
You don't legalize abortion.
You don't take living babies out of living
mothers and let them be babies.
And I'm not facetious.
Nevada has legalized prostitution.
England has legalized homosexuality.
We have 9 million alcoholics.
We have roughly 30 million people on some
kind of drugs.
We have an all-time high in venereal
disease amongst kids under 15 years of age
this past year in America.
And England is very much the same.
You see, you only shake your finger at
God and break his law so long, and
God walks out on nations.
Just like he does on men.
He says, my spirit shall not always strive
with man.
And one of the terrible things about preaching
is that while some people come forward and
say they'll take Christ for eternal life, there
are others who say no, not openly, secretly.
In that very moment, they say they're dead
as long as God lives.
Because there comes a time when God knocks
at the door of the heart for the
very last time, and then he goes.
This story of Samson to me is a
story of a superman.
To me, Samson is a type of a
spirit-anointed man.
He's a type of a spirit-anointed church.
The two most elusive things in the world
tonight, what are they?
While we've been in the Bahamas the last
three years, there was a scare.
The newspaper articles, they thought they'd rediscovered the
lost island of Atlantis, but discovered they hadn't.
And right now, for some reason, I don't
know.
There are two expeditions on the Himalayan ranges
trying to find the abominable snowman.
If they were trying to find the abominable
showman, I could give them the names of
six evangelists.
But they're trying to find the abominable snowman.
Are these the most elusive things in the
world, the abominable snowman and the elusive lost
island?
No, no, no, no, no.
The two most elusive things on God's earth
tonight are, number one, personal anointing by the
Holy Spirit, and number two, Holy Ghost revival.
In every other area you can energize, organize,
get money.
And you just sweat in your labor when
it comes to it.
God won't anoint you because you're a millionaire,
and He won't refuse your anointing because you're
a pauper.
God won't send blessing because you have this
God, this church, and I think it's very
beautiful.
And He won't bypass it either because you
have it.
You see, God is sovereign, and there are
certain things that men must do if God
is going to come and bless.
Samson is a title of spirit-anointed man.
I suppose it's fortunate for mankind that at
only once in maybe a thousand million men
you'll get a man who wants to dominate
the whole world.
We've had a few of them in history.
Remember they told you at school, perhaps, that
Alexander the Great at twenty-seven years of
age conquered the world and sat down and
wept because there were no more worlds that
he knew of to conquer, and he was
only twenty-seven years of age?
And then in my day almost conquered the
world, his name was Hitler.
Prior to him, a little, small, copulent Corsican
by the name of Napoleon, one of the
greatest military strategists in history, almost conquered the
world.
And one day he gathered together his warlords.
On the wall of his office he had
a great map of the world, and he
snapped these men to attention and he plunged
his index finger round the ragged edge of
the great country.
And then he said to his generals, Gendelman,
there lies a sleeping giant.
Let it sleep!
He said this before the Battle of Waterloo,
which happened to be on June the 18th,
which is tomorrow, and it's my birthday.
You know where I'm staying.
But on the day of the Battle of
Waterloo, with his ambition to conquer the world,
he ran his finger round that country, there
is a sleeping giant.
Let it sleep!
He said if that country ever wakes up
and discovers its mineral wealth and harnesses that
mineral wealth to its manpower, let the rest
of the world know, that giant will shake
the world.
If you're interested, the country that he outlined
was China.
America's biggest headache tonight.
Russia's biggest headache.
Doesn't the Book of the Revelations say somewhere
round about the 9th chapter that one day
200 million men will come marching from the
east?
From where?
Well, they don't have 200 million in Japan.
The only country could be China.
Do you remember you being patched up to
your ears to make atom bombs and hydrogen
bombs?
And wasn't it Mr., who was the president?
Wasn't it that Baptist president, Truman?
No wonder he made so many mistakes.
But anyhow, wasn't it Truman that said after
that bomb was dropped on Hiroshima or Hiroshima
at 16 minutes to 8 on the 6th
of August 1945, if there's another war, if
the war is threatened, we drop the bomb
the first week and get it over.
About 50,000 bodies of the choicest American
boys in Vietnam.
You've been patched your ears to make atom
bombs.
We don't use one of them.
Why?
Because when America dropped that bomb, as I
say, at 16 minutes to 8 on the
6th of August 1945, she had the big
stick and she was telling the world what
to do.
But remember tonight, China, that has no conscience,
has that atom bomb.
You don't need aircraft.
All you have to do is to make
an intercontinental ballistic missile and put a warhead
in it and shoot the thing and boy,
they can blast us to smithereens.
Interesting, isn't it, that Mr. Breesnath, Leonardo Breesnath,
is going to have a political reception tomorrow
with pomp and circumstance and white-gloved soldiers
and drums and bugles.
And he hates us like the devil.
And Nixon doesn't hate him much less, anyhow.
But we'll play hypocritical games with politics.
Did you nearly roll out of bed the
other night or was it Tuesday or Wednesday?
They shot the thing off across the water
there, one of those rockets.
At 3.30 in the morning it rocked
your house and your window.
And it was a new gadget that's going
around in space right now and it's specially
put there to listen in for anything that
Russia sends over and relay and release a
message within seconds.
Once Russia starts firing these missiles, which they
know we have and we know they have,
for the last 12 years some men under
the mountains there in Colorado have marched down
under an area that's thicker than this place
with concrete and they simulate pulling a switch.
They never pull the right one because it
has a bit of wire on it so
they won't.
But if they pull the right one, rockets
would shoot out from all over America to
blast everything.
And the article I had on that says
the men were waiting for Armageddon.
China's our biggest headache.
Napoleon said over a century ago, century and
a half, there lies a sleeping giant, let
it sleep.
If China ever decides to yawn and stretch
and go on the march, let the world
look out.
All right, you don't like politics, let's change
it.
Instead of seeing Napoleon there, instead of seeing
a map of the world, see a map
of the ages.
Instead of seeing Napoleon, see the devil.
And he brings all the demons out of
hell and he says to them, There, see
that?
He runs his finger around the ragged edge
of something.
What is it?
The Church of Jesus Christ.
And he says there is the Church of
Jesus.
Because if the Church of Jesus Christ ever
rediscovers the power of the Holy Ghost and
harnesses what it already has for the power
of the Spirit, let the earth look out
and let hell look out.
For the Church anointed in the power of
the Holy Ghost is the greatest power after
the power of the Triune God.
Tell me where in the secret of thy
great strength I am.
I first heard about America when I was
a little boy in a school in England.
I had a teacher I didn't like.
I never had one I did like, as
a matter of fact.
Look, this one I particularly didn't like.
She didn't like me either.
I don't know why.
I've always been attractive, but anyhow, she didn't
like me.
And she thought I didn't know much, and
I knew she didn't.
And she told us a story.
The best known story, I don't care whether
you go to Russia or Africa, wherever you
go around the world, there's one story that's
known above all other stories in America.
About America, you know what it is?
The story of Ritland Winkle.
I don't know whether he's a Democrat or
Republican, but he's very famous.
And she told me about this man who
went up a hill and he fell asleep,
and when he came down the hill he
got involved in argument with a group of
people.
All I know, she said he slept for
20 or 50 years, she wasn't sure.
And that's all I learned about the man.
And that's exactly what the story is, which
proved her ignorance anyhow.
You see, the story is this, that when
he went up the hill there was a
sign hanging outside of the tavern.
When he came down the hill they had
painted out the face of George I.
And they had painted the face of another
famous Englishman.
Did you guess his name?
George Washington.
You didn't know he was English?
How ignorant can you get?
But anyhow, they had erased the face of
George III, they had painted there the face
of George Washington.
Is the story secret that he went to
sleep for 20 years?
No!
The secret is this, he slept through a
revolution.
And I tell you with all the power
of my being tonight, I believe that's what
the Church of Jesus is doing in this
very moment.
Sleeping through the greatest moral, spiritual, social, economic
revolution in history.
America can't hold together five more years, nor
can mankind, none of the present.
A week tonight I'm going to preach, God
willing, on the second coming, the King is
coming.
Tomorrow night I want to preach on revival
praying.
Tuesday night I believe on vision.
Wednesday night, if the Lord gives us permission,
on the judgment seat of Christ.
Thursday night maybe on the cross.
Friday on problems in the Christian life.
Saturday night, there'll be no preachers unless these
boys do it.
I'm not preaching twice a day every day.
Scripture says, six days shalt thou labour.
And in case you are going to
give me anything to eat,
I'll lend a mission, so you know I
won't get a dime.
All right.
But we'll ask the question, what is the
secret of thy great strength?
Well, abnormal days demand abnormal men, with abnormal
methods and abnormal messages.
And Samson is one of the most abnormal
men in the Bible.
You know, we got this man kind of
mixed up in our thinking.
Wherever you find a picture of Samson, you'll
find him a kind of colossus.
You know, he's got muscles like watermelons, and
muscles on his chest like a range of
mountains.
And that's exactly what he was.
Of course, he's read mythology.
Maybe you have.
Read about Atlas carrying a road on his
back, Hercules kicking a range of mountains over.
Or if you're not so well educated, Jack
and the Beanstalk, let me come down to
your level.
But every man is a giant, he's a
Hercules, he's a Colossus.
Now, I don't think women are stupid, always.
Can you imagine a woman looking up to
a man 19 feet?
And here is Saul, head and shoulders above
the average man.
And here is Goliath, head and shoulders above
the man who's taller than the rest of
them.
And here is a colossal Samson up there.
Now, you can't imagine a woman going to
a man and saying, of course, buddy, what's
the secret of thy great strength?
It's pretty obvious that you'd think a man...
I'm not going to suggest he was no
bigger than the staff here, that wouldn't be
right.
But by the same token, I don't think
he was six feet thick to six foot
seven.
He was a normal man doing abnormal things,
and everybody asked a question.
You lock him up in a city, he
carries half the city away with him.
He meets a lion and destroys it.
Two thousand men come from West Point, he
picks up a jawbone of an ass and
slays them.
And I said in one meeting, the Lord
doesn't use a jawbone of an ass anymore.
One of those nasty little ladies on the
front seat said he does a dark church
every Sunday.
But the jawbone of an ass?
Why are you so sure he wasn't a
giant?
I always thought he...
I have a Bible and it has a
picture of Samson.
He's a huge man.
I'll tell you why.
Because the sign is written outside of his
church there, not by might, nor by power,
but by my spirit, saith the Lord of
hosts.
Again, the Word of God says, And to
those who have no might, increase of strength.
Again, the Word of God says, He's a
normal man doing abnormal things.
He's a very epitome, he's a very answer
to that text that says, That when you're
walking in the Spirit, no weapon that is
formed against thee shall prosper.
Oh, but in all things we are more
than countless through him.
You see, over and over and over again.
The most precious thing you can say of
any man who's started, he said, I would
rather have this.
But it says that whatever this man does,
what nobody else could do.
It says of him, the spirit of the
Lord rested night in the apartment.
And you can't get that by college or
seminary.
Still God's prerogative is to give it to
those who are hungry.
And so desperate.
But they'll do what this man did, as
we'll come to the end of the story
and find out.
The woman said, What is the secret of
thy great strength?
What do you have that nobody else has?
What's the mystery?
Where do you have this energy?
You see, the church began by being supernatural.
She's ending by being superficial.
What is the secret of thy great strength?
He gives the answer, he says, If you
fasten me, verse 7, if you fasten me
with seven green whips that were never dried,
then I shall be like another man.
No, I wish he didn't say that, he
didn't.
What did he say?
He said, If you fasten me with some
of those vines that climb around the trees,
if they're green and they're not brittle, and
if you fasten me with seven green whips,
I shall be a rebel.
No, no, no, he doesn't say that.
You know, the greatest curse of modern Christianity
is that there are too many of us
that are too much alike.
We say it's a normality.
He's earning five million, he has his own
yacht and everything now.
But I notice he says for the last
four years particularly, eight years in all, I
spend no less than eight hours in the
water every day.
I was determined.
I'd do what no other man did.
And I tell you this for nothing, an
experience of God that costs.
So the devil doesn't fear organizing, he fears.
He doesn't mind our brilliance, our genius.
And that won't cost you a penny except
a broken heart.
It may cost some of you boys a
few silly hours with your girlfriends.
The other night God moved on that church
in Merritt Island and many young people came
forward, maybe sixty people came out one night.
There was a moonlight madness sale and my
dear wife and the lady with us at
the time, the sale and my dear wife
and the lady with us at the time,
they wanted to get some bargains, we went
along.
This young lady came up to me breathless
in the mall there, and she said, by
the way, you know, the devil's doing all
he can to keep me from praying tonight.
I met the lady the next day and
she said, you know, the next day, and
she said, you know, I just met one
of our young kids, a girl sixteen, that
trusted God to fill her with the Spirit
last night and she went home and prayed
the whole night through at sixteen years of
age.
Does that sound foreign to you?
You may be sixty and never did that.
I met a boy seventeen, he said radiantly,
this is the first time, I met a
boy seventeen, he said radiantly, this is the
first time in my life I've invited the
Holy Ghost to take full control of my
life, the Holy Ghost to take full control
of my life, control of my life.
I met another of my life.
I met another teenager joyously, I met another
teenager joyously and he said, my, this is
transforming, God has come into my life as
never before.
I went to get a hair trim the
other day, ducked all I got, nearly.
As we came out my wife and I
met a fine looking man.
He said, Brother Ragnar, man he said I
could shout and leap down this mall I've
been looking for answers.
And I found the answer to spiritual power
and anointing this week.
I'm a new man.
I'm energized by the Spirit of God.
Fasten me with seven green robes.
They fasten him, he gets up.
That's not the secret.
No he says fasten me with seven new
robes.
And they fasten him and he gets out.
Because he said if you fasten me with
seven new robes I'll be weak like those
other guys around here.
Now he did have to wear long hair.
He was a Nazirite.
A Nazirite had three things incumbent upon him.
He could not drink wine, a sign of
worldly pleasure.
He could not touch anything dead, a sign
of people who are dead in trespasses and
in sin.
He could not have his hair cut.
Now just having long hair isn't the secret
of power.
If it was many of our churches would
explode.
Not a case of long hair.
What's the secret?
Somebody asked me that in the office.
I'll tell you what the secret is of
the Christian life for tonight, next night.
I don't care if you go to theological
cemetery.
I don't care how much learning you have.
The whole secret is this, trust and obey.
There's no other way.
Whatsoever he says to you, do it.
When I was youth leader in the church
I went to, we had a tremendous time.
We had many people saved.
We had fantastic meetings.
And I remember asking God to take full
control of my life.
But it meant partying company with girlfriends and
boys.
Or you've read about Sherwood Forest and the
fellow that used to go down there on
and on.
Well I didn't go robbing anybody.
I went in the Sherwood Forest to pray
that night.
Took my mother's little pedigree dog.
I walked over the golf links.
I got down under the wild bracken.
The wild fern.
I got up in the morning before six.
Particularly Sundays.
While everybody else slept.
I went across into the forest.
Got under the bushes and prayed.
And if I've had any secret in my
life the only thing I know is that
I've given God time all the time to
talk to me as well as me to
talk to him.
Fastening with rocks?
No.
Fastening with weeds?
No.
Unlock my hair and fasten it to a
beam and then when you get my hair
fastened there I'll be powerless.
And they did that.
And he shook his head and nearly pulled
the house down.
And then she said now that's not the
secret.
And he said no.
And you know what she did?
It's an old trick women have if they
can't get the wrong way.
She pulled his socks out.
You know she said you don't love me.
And of course he said oh yes I
do.
Oh yes.
I'll tell you what my secret is.
My secret is I'm a Nazarite.
I've kept every vow that God has asked
me.
I haven't touched wine.
I haven't touched anything.
And with the instinct that women have she
knew right there she'd got his secret.
Now she had said repeatedly to him the
Philistines would be upon me.
Do you know that you can cut this
man's life down into three simple things?
First what did they do?
They bind him.
Secondly what?
They blind him, put out his eyes.
Thirdly they ground him.
Put him in the basement and make him
tread round and round and round and round
and round.
Grounding time for the Philistines.
But wait a minute.
There's something else.
If Samson is a type of a spirit
filled man and I'm persuaded he is.
If Samson is a type of a spirit
anointed church and I'm sure he is.
Then later in the chapter it says that
he was going to Timnath.
Now he could go that way to Timnath
or that way.
Didn't make any difference.
The road was just as short because he
was going to see his girlfriend.
The road's never long when you're going to
see her.
But he must not go that way.
Why not?
Because there's a lion in the way.
Now if Samson is a type of a
spirit anointed person the lion must be a
type of the devil.
And when Samson went down the road the
lion thought, boy my I'm going to have
a good lunch today.
Look at this fellow coming.
I'm just going to tear him up.
And Samson thought the same thing.
He's going to tear the lion up.
He had his mother and father with him
and he said mummy daddy would you sit
round the corner I've just got a little
bit of business to do.
And when they went round the corner he
took hold of the lion as though it
were a kid of the goats and he
ripped it apart and he threw it down.
Now that's wonderful but the next statement in
the verse is more wonderful.
It says that after he destroyed the lion
he said nothing about it.
I'm sure a woman couldn't have done it
like that.
But anyhow Samson destroyed the lion and he
said oh if we destroyed the lion we'd
have photographed it.
We'd have stretched it out it would be
the longest, strongest, heaviest, fiercest, terriblest lion in
the whole world.
And I killed it all by myself.
He slew a lion.
He pushed the devil back and he said
nothing about it.
I'm looking for a revival and I'm sure
it's coming.
A holy ghost tidal wave that's going to
engulf the whole world and they're going to
have such a revival that no man will
steal the glory.
He slew a lion.
Let me ask you a simple question.
Not so simple.
Alright.
Do you push the devil around or does
he push you around?
When I was in Australia a lady said
to me after one service Mr. Ravenhill I've
had a terrible day today.
I said you look like it.
I've never seen a more miserable face.
Mr. Ravenhill do you know what happened today?
I said no I couldn't guess.
When I got out of bed this morning
the devil was standing with me all day.
I said lady how conceited can you get?
I thought if the devil's been in your
home all day he hasn't been anywhere else
in the world.
Satan can't be in two places at the
same time.
God can, Satan can't.
Demons might be.
He might sublet certain areas but Satan can't.
I looked her straight in the eye and
I said lady you say Satan's been with
you all day I seriously doubt he even
knows you're living.
Does he know you're living?
I got saved when I was 14 years
of age.
I never doubted it.
Never been ashamed of it.
Talked round the world about it.
And according to this book when I was
born again my name was written in the
book of life.
I'd like to get it written somewhere else.
Not in Westminster Abbey.
I've never been a competitive preacher.
I don't care whether you think I'm the
worst you've ever heard or the best.
It won't move me out of the way.
I say what God wants me to say.
But I'd like to get my name written
somewhere.
Do you remember in the days of the
apostle Paul he cast demons out of some
people.
Jesus did that.
Everything that Jesus did Paul did.
And one day he cast demons out of
a person.
Do you remember the time when Jesus cast
demons out of a man that had a
legion of them in him.
And if you take demons out of a
person you must put them somewhere.
They can't live disembodied.
They can't float in the air.
They have to occupy something or somebody.
And you remember that Jesus took a legion
of demons out of a man.
And if you think pigs aren't smarter than
men tell me this.
When he put the demons into the swine
they committed suicide in about 40 seconds.
The man had had the devil in in
40 years and he wasn't smart enough to
commit suicide or bad enough.
But the pigs wouldn't even have the devil
in.
And hell is so bad the demons said
don't send us back from whence we came.
Now one man one day said I'm not
getting on I'd like to be famous I'd
like to do something.
And somebody said you find a man with
a demon in cast the demon out.
This is what you do you say in
the name of Jesus Christ and Nazareth come
out of him the demon will come out.
The man tried it and it worked.
The demon came out of the man.
But he never sent a demon anywhere.
So the demon turned around and he beat
up the preacher.
Kicked him, bruised him and finally he came
back and he said listen preacher Jesus I
know and Paul I know.
I think the most embarrassing thing of all
the embarrassments to quote Balthasar Tozer again.
I remember him saying to me one day
Len not many of us are going to
stand erect as the gentlemen see this time
with all our talk and all our boast.
Not many of us will lift our unblushing
heads.
Most of us will bow our heads in
the presence of a holy God.
I think the most terrible.
When we stand there alone without your pastor
without your wife without your husband you stand
there as an individual.
Remember you have as big a Bible as
I have or anybody else that ever lived
and you have to give an account to
God for this word that he gave you.
I think the most embarrassing thing will be
when God calls Satan to bear witness.
I wonder what do you say.
I wonder if you say Jesus I know
and Paul I know and Ray Gill I
know and Billy Graham I know.
Will he say he knows you?
Did you ever draw a line and take
your rights in Jesus Christ and draw a
line by the precious blood and then put
the promises of God against it and the
power of the spirit and say yes yes
Satan you shall not pass that line.
When I was a boy in a little
church I attended in England they used to
talk a great deal about Pastor Fetler of
Latvia.
Latvia got absorbed in the United States and
Soviet Russia.
They used to talk to some degree about
a German Pastor Bloomheart.
Bloomheart was reading the word of God one
day and he read that terrible statement.
He was asking God to do something and
God said do it.
He said Lord tie up the powers of
Satan and Jesus said listen I give you
power over all the power of the enemy.
He went along and he stood
over that girl and demanded her deliverance and
nothing happened.
He went the second day and like that
she was delivered.
He became famous for casting out demons.
One day they asked him to go to
a girl many miles away and he went.
The girl sat up in bed and laughed
and screamed the most devilish hideous noises he'd
ever heard in his life and everything he
said the demon counteracted and every time he
said he'd come out the demon said I
won't and every time he pled the blood
of Jesus the demon said some obscene things
about Jesus Christ because a long story short
this man was so determined that he'd exercised
his authority over all the power of the
enemy.
That he went to that girl's bedroom eight
hours a day for two years.
