The theme for this Youth Conference is God
Our Fortress.
Based on the word we find in 2
Samuel 22 verse 2 And
that's something you can make note of, underline
it in your Bible or make a note
of that verse.
The Lord is
my rock
and my fortress and my deliverer.
My God, my rock in whom I take
refuge.
My shield and the horn of my salvation,
my stronghold and my refuge.
God knows that we live in a dangerous
world with many dangers and therefore he says
he will be our fortress, our refuge.
So is it possible that one can speak
three services in a row about clothing?
Well if God keeps us maybe we'll even
say more.
And there are other topics we can cover
as well, like tattooing.
We need to know what God says about
things because nowadays everything seems to be permissible.
Some have complained and said I speak too
much, he speaks too little.
I have to speak simply and then I
stop.
I have to
speak
simply and then I stop.
It's a time where you can just do
what you like.
One girl wore her miniskirt, tight fit.
And she was with someone else wearing some
very tight jeans, so tight that one could
notice that she had her period.
Excuse me?
Talking like that from the pulpit.
If you are like that, well then I've
got to talk.
If I've got a square pot before me,
if it's a round one, stop doing that
and I'll stop talking about it.
And so she was wearing these tight fitting
faded jeans.
And at the bottom they were torn, so
the shreds were just hanging down.
And I don't need to tell you that
that is a sign of rebellion, that you're
against all authority.
And you know the modern way, it's also
very low down, you can see the belly
button and the stomach hanging out.
And the blouses and everything is cut in
that way that it's very short, that you
just have to lift your arm a little
bit and then you can see the belly
already.
And normally it's not a pleasant sight to
behold.
A woman's stomach or belly quickly becomes all
soft like porridge.
So it doesn't look very good for others
to have to look at it, but obviously
you can't see it because you look right
over it.
And it was also very low cut as
well that you could see everything.
And she went to a prayer meeting.
But then at the back, at the backside,
she had written, Jesus loves you, smile Jesus
loves you.
It is true, Jesus said in the last
days, there'll be many Jesuses, there'll be many,
some are directly out of hell.
On her backside, on her backside, on her
backside, on her backside, on her backside, on
her backside, on her backside, on her backside,
on her backside, on her backside, on her
backside, on her backside, on her backside, on

on her backside, on her backside, on her
backside, on her backside, on her backside, on
her backside, on her backside, on Thats quite
a popular gospel that one, that is the
type of thing that has been propagated in
some churches, and many young people flock there,
with their bands there, and drums, people like
that But
we have the Gospel of our Lord Jesus
Christ, and that teaches us purity, holiness, to
be sanctified in one's way and in one's
living.
So to you, young girls, remember, there is
a way of escape, of salvation, even in
these times.
Now you've heard when the minis were first
introduced.
The shorter the dress, the more the immorality.
Now you've heard when the minis were first
introduced.
The shorter the dress, the more the immorality.
So the
shorter
the dress, the less the value, the more
the immorality.
Now I just want to tell you the
name of the person who designed the miniskirt.
Who knows the name?
Her name was Mary, the same as the
mother of Jesus.
Mary Ikamalake.
Ispongosake Quent.
The surname was Quent.
Q-U
-A-N-T She's
the one that designed the miniskirt.
Abram was the father of believers.
Mary is the mother of the miniskirt.
Bambi is a high priestess of fashion.
She's known as the high priestess of fashion.
Maybe you didn't know, if you wear a
miniskirt, you get a new mother, who is
the priestess of fashion.
It's good to take note of these things.
Now Mary Quent, the
priestess of fashion, said, Women
and girls could announce that they were virgins.
They would be available for illicit sex in
the afternoon.
They would be available for sex.
Not even tomorrow.
The high priestess of fashion, Mary Quent, the
woman who designed the miniskirt, said, any woman
or girl announces with her miniskirt
that she is available for illicit sex in
the afternoon.
She even waits for the night.
She doesn't wait for the night.
In the afternoon already.
If you are not shocked by this, you
are spiritually dead and you need to be
born again.
When she was asked, what kind of character
today's women want to be, she answered, Today,
the woman has got to be a sexual
creature.
When she was asked, what kind of character
today's women want to be, she answered, Sex.
Sex.
A creature of sex.
That's what the woman has got to be,
and the girls today.
Then one isn't surprised that things have turned
out to be like they are in the
world today.
She says, we are tired.
Instead of this coy business of hiding it.
We don't want to, we women, we don't
want to hide it anymore.
Today, she dresses to say, I'm sexy.
I like men.
I enjoy life.
Yes.
So one understands why some young people, they
go to school, they hear many things, but
then they leave, they go into the world,
they go off the road.
And then you don't really know why, but
now one starts making sense of it.
We are sexy.
We like men.
And we won't hide it.
We want to enjoy life.
They've got a husband.
And they still want other husbands.
Later on in an interview she said, Mary
Quint, all the rules are gone.
There is no such thing as what's in
or what's out.
She stated, I hate rules.
Now all the rules are gone.
All the headlines are available.
I've been there, I've been there.
What I want to say is that they
are dead.
There are people that have left us that
say they've gone because they don't like all
the rules and the laws here.
Now they are free.
But they go out there, they are not
free.
They become slaves of fashion.
All the rules are gone.
That's why people divorce.
That's why people fall in love with other
men.
And women.
I've always hated rules, she says.
All the rules are gone.
That's why I'm telling you.
There are no rules anymore.
So stop it.
Stop it.
Forget about that.
Forget about the rules.
Now, just think for a moment.
If you say you don't like rules, you
don't like laws, then just try to go
with the car from here to Kranskop or
to Steng or to drive home.
And then you don't stick to the left
-hand side of the road, you just drive
on the right-hand side of the road.
Where there's a stop sign, you just go
straight through.
If there's a red robot, you just ignore
it, you drive through.
If you'd get home, I'd be prepared to
give you thousands of friends.
There was a young man who went to
university, and he forgot all about his parents
and he just forsook them.
And he was on his way, hitchhiking.
A minister stopped to give him a lift.
It's become very dangerous to give hitchhikers a
lift because you never know whether he's an
honest man or whether he may be a
hijacker who could be a danger to you.
But this minister felt he should give this
man a lift.
So the student got in.
The minister asked this young man, well, tell
me, young man, how are you?
He said, no, I'm fine, thanks.
He said, well, what about spiritual things?
The young man said, please just don't even
talk to me about Christianity.
I come from a home, my father's a
very devout Christian and so is my mother,
and it's always just don't do this, don't
do that.
I'm sick and tired of laws.
I don't want to have laws made for
me.
The minister just kept quiet.
They got to town, and there was a
red robot.
He put his foot down.
And the minister put his foot on the
accelerator, and the young man jumped up and
he grabbed hold of him.
He said, what are you doing?
The robot is red.
You can't go through it.
And the minister said, I'm sick and tired
of laws.
I don't want to know anything about them.
He said, what's wrong with it?
The young man said, but don't you see
all the other cars coming through from the
other side?
We'll die if we go through the red
robot.
And he shouted out like someone who was
crazy.
But then it clicked with him, and he
said, I'm sorry about what I said, that
I don't like laws and we don't need
them.
It dawned.
If there's no law, no rule, then things
go wrong.
Then it will be like, then it will
be like that young man.
It will be like that young man who
went to Johannesburg to work there, and he
announced to his parents that he would be
coming home to visit them.
And they were so happy that he would
be arriving.
When he arrived, they were looking forward to
what he had brought with, brought along.
And when he walked in, he walked in
with another man.
And they said, oh, son, who is this
man?
He said, no, that's my girlfriend.
So he had become a homosexual.
And do you think that there would have
been joy about that?
There will be many problems if we live
a lawless life.
An Indonesian man went to America, and when
he got there, they started asking him about
whether he was married or not.
And in that place, if you're not married,
they quickly organize for you to get married.
For them, it's very important that you get
married.
But this man that had come from Indonesia,
he was an instrument in the Lord's hand,
someone that the Lord had been using in
Indonesia.
And so they arranged, and they got a
white girl, and they got married.
Sometimes I don't understand girls.
I've got six daughters myself, and I'm very
thankful for them, but sometimes when I see
girls out there, I wonder what happened to
their minds.
It seems as if they really can't think
very far.
So they got married, and they went back
to Indonesia.
And when they got there, she was shocked
at the living conditions.
She said, but how can I live in
this?
It's just a hut.
How can I live in this?
And she asked her husband, well, where's the
fridge?
He said, no, we don't have fridges here.
You just hang the meat up outside in
the tree.
Well, where's the tap for water?
And he said, well, my wife, we don't
have running water here.
Here's a bucket.
You must go down to the river and
go and get water there.
And he said, well, my wife, we don't
have running water here.
Here's a bucket.
You must go down to the river and
get water there.
Well, where's the tap for water?
He said, well, my wife, we don't have
running water here.
Here's a bucket.
You must go down to the river and
get water there.
And she was shocked.
She said, but I can't live like this.
I can't fetch water from the river.
I can't live without a fridge.
I'll never make it.
She says, I'm catching the next flight back
to America.
Now, I'm not someone who discriminates.
Even right back to 1951, before people even
started talking against apartheid, I was telling people
that it's wrong.
You know that I'm not one who discriminates.
But there are problems and you should think.
There is a white lady who came from
another country overseas.
An English lady and a black man came
to her and said, I'd like to get
married to you.
Now, the white girl, to get married to
one, it's so easy.
You don't even have to pay dowry.
You don't have to pay anything.
All she has to do is say yes,
and then you can marry her.
If you like, you can buy her a
ring.
It doesn't even need to be an expensive
one.
You can buy a cheap one.
So, you said, well, let's get married.
And then this white lady said to the
man, she said, well, you know, I don't
know how we can get married to each
other because there's one thing I just cannot
do and that's carry a bucket of water
or something on my head.
It's just impossible for me.
And the man said, no, I understand.
Then let's rather leave it.
And there
was
another young German lady who I met in
Germany and she came to me crying and
tears, saying, I got married to a man.
I'm a Muslim and I've even got two
children from him.
But when I went with him to his
home country, I found out that he's even
got other wives.
I wasn't the only one.
I thought I was the only wife, but
now I find out he's got others.
The Koran allows a Muslim man to have
four wives.
If you're clever, you can even have 20.
If you're clever, you can even have 30.
Because the Koran only allows you to have
four wives under one roof.
But then you can have a compound next
door where you keep all the other ones.
So you tell them that, look, you're married
to me while you're in my house.
When you walk out the door, it's effectively
a divorce.
So you're not my wife anymore.
And then you can bring in the next
one.
But there is a way of escape, a
way of salvation and a fortress.
The Lord teaches us that if you have
a wife and you just look at another
one with lust in your eye, you've already
committed adultery.
That's how the Lord judges.
He says if you've got a wife, you
look at another one with lust in your
eye, you've already sinned with her, you've committed
adultery and you know that adulterers don't inherit
the kingdom of heaven.
Now, dear women, just allow me to say
something to you.
If God judges the man so severely just
by looking at the woman and something happens
in his heart, he's committed that crime already.
Now you women, who with your bare breasts,
with your bosom, you draw his eyes to
yourself, don't you think that the judge of
the men will judge you as well?
You're making him sin.
I don't want to speak
something.
And when you walk out the door that
you've already forgotten it.
I don't even want
to be there.
I don't want to be there when judgment
is pronounced on her, this priestess of fashion.
It's time for us to wake up.
Black or white, I'm not surprised that the
situation in South Africa is like this.
The white man has fallen.
Who still respects him?
Why should you lose your farms?
What have you done on those farms?
What are you still doing today?
You should be light, you should be salt.
And what are you doing?
Mary Quent, that priestess is your mother
in your fashion.
On the 17th of June, now in
June, On the 17th of June, someone
from here, from Wasizabantu, went to Johannesburg.
On the way to Johannesburg,
he met with a man.
It was a lady.
And the man asked this black girl, he
said, tell me, where do you come from?
You dress so smartly.
And before she got to Johannesburg, or by
the time she got to Johannesburg, there were
five men that had approached her and asked
her where she comes from because she was
dressed so well.
She hadn't noticed because she was dressed just
normally like we always dress.
So one after the other said, where do
you come from?
Why is it that you are dressed so
differently?
They noticed it.
And she was amazed and she wondered what
it was that made them speak like this.
When she got home she said to her
mother, mother can you explain to me, I
don't understand, because more than five men on
the way asked me and commented about the
way I was dressed.
What does it mean?
And the mother said, my daughter, it means
exactly what they have said.
The men up here, the people up here
in Johannesburg are sick and tired of women
that don't dress properly.
They respect you, they honour you.
Because they say they are tired of women
who don't dress properly.
Do you understand?
Master, speak in another language that you understand.
Do you understand?
There is a refuge.
God teaches us how to dress.
Adam and Eve were created by God.
They didn't notice that they were naked.
They were clothed in glory, with glory.
They
didn't
notice that
they
were naked.
They were clothed in glory, with glory.
But when they sinned, when they were disobedient,
their sin wasn't sex, they were married, God
had married them.
But their sin was that they had disobeyed
God, for they ate of the fruit of
that tree which God had forbidden.
And so they noticed they were naked, and
what did they do?
They went and they sowed fig leaves together.
Now that's quite an effort to take those
leaves, they're not very big.
I would have thought it would have been
much easier just to take some banana leaves,
they could have covered themselves far easier.
But now I can't go into detail about
that, because even that has a spiritual significance.
So they sowed together these fig leaves, and
what happens?
When the sun gets hot, these fig leaves
dry up and they just fall down.
So it's really a useless attempt, and when
God saw them, He was troubled when He
saw them in that state.
And in the afternoon, He went to visit
them.
But when He got there, they were not
in their place.
And He said, Adam, Adam, where are you?
And He appeared from behind a tree and
He said, Lord, here I am.
Why are you hiding, Adam?
Oh Lord, I'm naked.
Who told you that you're naked?
Did you eat of that tree, of that
fruit which I have told you not to?
And He said, Oh
Lord, it's true, but it's because of Eve.
She got me to do it.
What a pity for Eve, for the woman,
that sin should have come through her.
Eve, why did you do it?
Oh no Lord, it's because of the serpent.
The serpent deceived me.
And the Lord said to the serpent, why
did you do it?
The serpent didn't answer or didn't say, well
it's the devil that made me do it.
He took the blame.
And the Lord said to the serpent, now
you will have to crawl on your belly,
before the snake didn't have to crawl on
its belly.
And the Lord said to the serpent, I'll
put enmity between you and your offspring and
the offspring of men.
And the man will crush you on your
head and you will strike at his heel.
And in these days we'd like to show
you the film of the Passion of Christ.
And in it, there's that scene where that
serpent, the snake comes into the garden of
Gethsemane and he stands on its forehead.
So a woman that doesn't dress properly is
an abomination to the Lord, but even becomes
an abomination to men, like these men in
Johannesburg.
Now I'll be closing, I've spoken enough.
Now it's interesting to note that the men
are starting to call women MTN.
Now these things stand for different things.
And the M is for a woman who
just lives a loose life and doesn't care
even what colour he is.
A woman that burns, that burns.
The Bible says if a man has a
daughter that burns, he should look for a
man for her.
Rather let she have anybody that burns.
Now the men in Gauteng call a woman
that walks around immorally, not covered well, she
doesn't mind whether it's black or white, yellow,
green, doesn't matter.
So the way women dress hasn't just become
an abomination to the Lord, but to people
as well, even those who don't know the
Lord.
In early June
there
was an article in the Daily Sun.
It's quite a popular paper because it's so
cheap, it's only 120.
And in this the men came out saying
that they were not happy at all with
the way that the women dress.
Complaining about the terrible way that women get
dressed.
Saying that the girls here in South Africa,
they take the examples from other countries and
then they dress even worse than those people.
They say that if a man has a
daughter that burns, he should look for a
man for her.
Now the men in Gauteng call a woman
that walks around immorally, not covered well, she
doesn't mind whether it's black or white, yellow,
green, doesn't matter.
But if a man has a daughter that
burns,
she doesn't
mind whether
it's
black or white, not covered well, she doesn't
mind whether it's black or white.
We as Christians should set the example here.
We should set the trend.
We should go to the shopkeepers and the
people who sell us clothing and tell them
what we want and that we start setting
the trend, not the other way around.
2010 we were all hoping to host the
World Cup, but I wonder how many of
us will live to see it.
Will you still be around or will you
be in the grave because of AIDS?
Let us stand up.
Lord now we, and I leave it over
to you.
I don't know whether they've understood or not,
but Lord I leave it all to you
and them as well.
If it went according to the
cry in my heart, Lord, I'd say, O
Lord, may it dawn on everyone, old and
young, that there may be a change.
And if someone is bound by the chains
of the devil, we pray that you will
break them and that you will be our
fortress.
God, Holy Spirit, work in
a miraculous, in a wonderful way.
Work in a way that changes people's lives.
Amen.
