I just first of all would like to
share a little bit about the our own
background and then I've got a short word
on my heart here for this afternoon.
You know I'm by nationality a German and
I was born to Pentecostal parents.
My father was a pastor so I I
came to know the gospel at a very
early age.
I received Jesus as my Savior when I
was a boy of nine.
Jesus called me to one day preach the
gospel in Africa when I was only 10
and it was so powerful and so clear
I've never been able to doubt that call.
When I was 11 Jesus baptized me with
the power of the Holy Spirit and that
carried me through my teenage years and you
know I couldn't wait to be old enough
to be accepted at Bible College and ever
since I've been preaching the gospel.
The day I would no more preach the
gospel I think I would die of starvation
because I'm not a mechanics I don't know
how to repair cars and I don't know
how to bake bread.
I know nothing.
I just preach the gospel.
Praise God.
I think if I should sum it up
right at the beginning my wife and I
went to a small country in Africa called
Lesotho.
It was a very very tough time.
Seven years of hard work.
I would say hard labor.
We labored for the Lord in the true
sense of the word.
I mean it was hard work and we
saw little results.
I had hired a little office somewhere there
just for about thirty dollars a month and
that was a lot of money for me
because my that was about my whole salary
for the whole month and it was tough
and then one day I had to pay
I had to pay the rent for that
office that church office and I didn't have
the money to pay the rent and the
whole day I was crying to God and
I said Lord I need $30 I need
$30 I need $30 before five o'clock
this evening and the evening came but the
money didn't so I was upset and I
said I was worried I might lose the
office and so on and so on and
I was walking from the office to the
house not far away which we had rented
there as a family and as I was
walking on the street suddenly the power of
the Holy Spirit came upon me and I
clearly clearly heard the voice of the Lord
speaking in my heart saying do you want
me to give you 1 million dollars it
nearly blew my mind 1 million dollars for
a few seconds it raced through my mind
what I couldn't do for Jesus with 1
million dollars and I thought I could bombard
the whole world with the gospel if I
had 1 million dollars today I know better
but then I thought so and then all
of a sudden I had a second thought
and it is it gripped me it stirred
me I'm not a weepy man at all
but I stood there on the street and
tears came out of my eyes and I
lifted my hands up I didn't care about
the people that passed me and I cried
to God and I said no Lord I'm
not asking for 1 million dollars I'm asking
for much more I said Lord don't give
me 1 million dollars give me 1 million
souls I said Lord 1 million souls give
me 1 million souls that moment the Holy
Spirit whispered words into my heart I had
never heard I had never read it was
brand new but ever since it has characterized
my whole life and ministry and this is
what the Holy Spirit said you will plunder
hell and populate heaven for Calvary's sake hallelujah
and I latched onto that I grabbed it
I said Lord this is true I want
to see hell empty and I want to
see heaven full in the name of Jesus
hallelujah glory to God glory to God glory
to God that day God put a hunger
into my spirit a hunger for souls I
want to see souls safe that's my whole
desire I don't want gold and I don't
want silver although we do need finances I
want to see souls safe I want to
do as much harm and damage to the
devil as I possibly can Jesus crushed the
head of the serpent Jesus died for no
other reason but to seek and to save
the lost not to provide careers for the
clergy he died to save the lost amen
sometimes certain people come to me and they
say they say what do you think of
that evangelist trying to pit me against some
evangelist what about that evangelist I said listen
when it comes to evangelism I have no
competitor I only I only have colleagues and
I draw my heart to anyone who wins
one soul for Jesus amen and then shortly
after that in a vision God showed me
the continent of Africa getting washed in the
blood of Jesus the whole continent every nation
I tell you when I now get into
those nations where I had never set foot
in I always enter those nations and I
said this was one of them I saw
it already washed in the blood of Jesus
I believe in the spiritual world it's already
an accomplished fact when God says something he
is the fulfiller of his own word and
he gives us the privilege to be involved
in it isn't that so he gives it
to you and he gives it to me
and he gives it to us all then
God opened doors and we saw his mighty
powers spring into action we saw whole nations
shaken under the power of the gospel of
Jesus Christ the gospel is a public issue
in Africa amen and millions upon millions of
precious souls are turning to Jesus Christ as
their Savior this is absolutely fantastic hallelujah well
Ron said it already when it comes to
figures I'm very very careful because I believe
that exaggeration is another form of lying and
when we speak of figures we have educated
figures we do proper counting we count the
heads and not the fingers all right some
even count the toes but a person is
a person we give no glory to God
if we speak of millions and they aren't
but the fact is the fact is by
the grace of God I've been able to
lead millions and millions and millions of people
to Jesus Christ he who calls upon the
name of the Lord shall be saved somebody
said to me everybody who lifts his hand
and everybody who prays the sinner's prayer surely
is not born again or is not a
Christian well I said you know what I
said I said I also know that but
one thing I is one thing is sure
if it is true but the Bible says
and I'm sure that it is true that
whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord
shall be saved then I must do something
right I must do something right and when
you preach the gospel and you invite people
to receive this wonderful Jesus and you lead
them in prayer to the Lord and they
call upon the name of the Lord something
is happening in the invisible world I am
absolutely certain amen hallelujah you know an evangelist
is somebody with an undivided mind it's just
all always one thing one thing one thing
and that's what burns in my spirit day
and night this our generation must hear the
word of the Lord I was on a
talk show here somewhere in the United States
and when I arrived there of course I
didn't know what the theme was or nothing
when I arrived there they said today we
are going to solve some deep theological problems
it was a controversial issue and thank God
Reinhardt is here and now we are going
to solve all these theological problems when I
heard that I thought oh Lord what did
I get into here I'm an evangelist I'm
not a professor anyway and they were talking
and talking and talking and then they gave
the microphone to me and I said you
know I want to say something before I
say something about the subject let me say
something else I'm an evangelist and I said
I have decided before God that I will
only start splitting hair after the last chain
is broken I'm in the business of breaking
chains not splitting hair amen and I tell
you we are confronted with the greatest emergency
this world has ever seen we are in
the midst of people who are eternally lost
unless somebody throws their lifeline to them and
the preaching of the gospel is the throwing
out of the lifeline and unpreached gospel is
no gospel at all why not because an
unpreached gospel helps nobody God has decided that
the gospel shall be preached and then it
becomes effective amen that was the end of
the theological discussion there and we only talked
about what God is doing and about winning
souls last year in February we were in
the Republic of Central African Republic the capital
called Bangui and I was so amazed when
I arrived at the airport you know it
was a big big reception there government was
there the president sent his Mercedes limousine with
driver for me and and with the police
outriders it was terrific I enjoy it you
know as I said VIP very important peanut
and and there was national television and they
interviewed me they wanted to interview me may
we ask some questions I said yes and
the first question was this they said do
you in women preaching the gospel now that
was national television I thought wow why did
that I just thought why did they ask
that question and then I knew of course
was to set up thing she was already
there ahead of time and she belongs to
our team and she's preaching like crazy and
they never saw a woman preach so do
you believe for women to preach I said
Lord what must I say that moment the
Holy Spirit spoke to me you know he's
my secret weapon and I said I let
you I said this is the answer to
your question I said you know we had
a group of evangelists and I said you
know if I was a man drowning in
the river I wouldn't care whether a man
or a woman throws the lifeline to me
as long as I get the lifeline amen
hallelujah is it not true some people keep
on forever picking on the finer points and
they forget that the people are going to
hell in the meantime throw out the lifeline
man or woman boy or girl throw out
the lifeline in Jesus name hallelujah as I
said we are seeing nations shaken we went
to Kenya we had such a difficult time
to enter Kenya believe it or not I
thought it would be the easiest country and
it was the most difficult for two years
we tried to get into Kenya and somehow
it was blocked we could not establish ourselves
there the government would not allow us in
and then I said well let's go in
under the wings of somebody else and then
once we have had one crusade everything will
be fine and so it was we went
right to Nairobi Uhuru Park that's the National
Sanctuary you can say you know Freedom Park
it means that's where all the political rallies
are and we were given that very spot
for our crusade and God blessed up to
180,000 people in a single service you
must see the picture it was awesome one
afternoon I was praying in my hotel when
the phone rang and my crusade director he
said Reinhardt you had a call from the
president's office this afternoon president Moy is going
to attend the meeting I said that's wonderful
but remember we haven't got chairs he said
no no they the president will bring his
own chair I said when is he coming
he said in two hours time at five
o'clock he's coming Wow I thought this
is wonderful five o'clock I was there
and there comes the whole the whole convoy
the presidential convoy the chairs everything was already
organized under the platform there I mean just
in front of the platform downstairs with all
his cabinet ministers and security and the people
behind so I stood up and I just
I prayed when I sat on the platform
I said Lord the president is here what
must I preach something special the Lord said
no preach the gospel as always and I
stood up and I just welcomed the president
and then I turned to the Bible and
I started to preach and when I made
the altar call some of the government ministers
received Jesus as the Savior the next day
I was called to the presidential statehouse the
statehouse the president received me there what a
fine man and I asked him to allow
us to register our ministry in his country
was granted instantly and he said to me
Reverend Ponke I am going to church many
times but yesterday I was absolutely sure it
was the first time the preacher didn't change
his sermon he said that and he was
so blessed you know he said I have
decided that all further crusade meetings that you
are taking here at Uhuru Park are going
to be aired live on all radio channels
and television channels across the whole of Kenya
now wonderful and the whole country began to
be really felt the impact of the gospel
of Jesus Christ I we I preached my
messages of salvation we preached on divine healing
we preached on the baptism in the Holy
Spirit all life on the air it was
absolutely terrific the miracles we heard afterwards were
absolutely incredible even drunks in bars received healing
there was a cripple in the bar they
were watching on television they were watching on
television there was one cripple just drinking his
his beer and then I came to the
point at the end and I said if
you put your trust in Jesus now wherever
you are Jesus is going to heal you
put your hand on the sick part of
your body and the other drunks said to
that cripple drunk do what the preacher told
you and that cripple drunk he put his
hand on his crippled leg and when the
prayer rang out the power of God knocked
that man off his stool and he was
healed it's not amazing the mercy of God
is inexplicable is inexplicable what a mighty God
we serve and so country after country unlocked
and opened we've seen up to 500,000
people in a single service it was rush
hour to the meeting rush hour from the
meeting it was awesome 25 acres of human
beings pushed together shoulder-to-shoulder our crusade
lights only lit out half of the crowd
the other stood in the darkness I tell
you God wants to do great things and
I say it again I don't want to
play with marbles when God wants mountains to
be moved Jesus didn't die for small things
Jesus died for great things he is the
great I am the everlasting father the prince
of peace hallelujah glory to God glory to
God I had the privilege to lead presidents
to the Lord I had the privilege to
preach in the houses of Parliament that's it
that's a special joy I think that's a
wonderful joy when in Togo I was absolutely
fabulous I think I can just share that
with you here briefly that was that was
now almost two years ago talk was the
West African country the capital is Lomi I
have never had a crusade there before at
all but the gospel struck that nation it
was during the Gulf War during the Gulf
War the gospel struck that nation I like
like lightning with such force and power Lomi
has 400,000 inhabitants we had over 200
,000 in a single service in a single
service and the people were coming and God
was saving and the Lord was healing the
sick it was absolutely terrific then I had
a courtesy visit with with the president I'm
not a politician I don't discuss politics with
politicians and they invite me we talk about
something else and I went out it was
just a courtesy call and I shook hands
with him he was very nice and before
I left he would allow me to pray
I prayed and I thought that's the end
of the courtesy visit dead official next day
I received a call the president seven o
'clock in the morning I was I wasn't
all together awake yet you know because we
have got night shift when our crusades are
running and I was asked to come for
a dinner to the president's palace I said
yes I'm coming so Peter Vandenberg and I
and some others went and I was amazed
it was a banquet a state banquet absolutely
fabulous absolutely fabulous I think they had flown
in the food from Paris I stood I
was sat was the guest of honor sitting
right of the president he had invited all
this the top politicians of the country and
the top clergy and there I sat as
an evangelist and just to start off the
conversation I said mr.
president your excellency as you as you address
them I said your excellency I'm sorry that
you you weren't there in last night's meeting
he said you know I've got he said
to me I've got a friend an old
man he is blind for 10 years he
said last night his eyes were opened in
your meeting he said in my extended family
there's a little girl she was stone-deaf
since last night she can hear perfectly he
was telling me what God was doing and
he said to me what why has nobody
ever told me that Jesus is doing miracles
the president called me again afterwards we talked
again I prayed for his family introduced his
his son to me is his eldest son
was a wonderful time I led that president
to the Lord and his wife as well
they prayed the sinner's prayer it's absolutely
fantastic what God is doing isn't it it
is no secret what God can do it's
absolutely glorious that was during the time of
the Gulf War I tell you we watched
in the evening's late we watched the late
-night national news you know what happened of
the 10 minutes national news eight minutes were
about the gospel campaign and the rest for
the Gulf War is no wonderful that's wonderful
absolutely fantastic to God be the glory to
God be the glory we have seen God
shaking whole nations shaking whole nations and when
it comes to the wonderful gospel of Jesus
Christ Satan has absolutely nothing to counter it
we are not down we are up we
are absolutely fantastic I'm so sure of it
when I take the microphone in the Crusades
and I begin to preach the gospel I
can feel the love of God just flooding
my spirit and I can feel the anointing
of the Holy Spirit and I know it's
just striking everywhere and multitudes upon multitudes enter
the valley of decision and decide for Jesus
Christ amen I'm hungry for souls I hope
you can sense that I'm hungry for souls
to be saved Africa shall be saved but
America shall just as well be saved and
will be saved I pray for divine visions
to be given to all of you to
see a blood-washed America and I tell
you you will never be the same again
you won't because all of a sudden you
see that that what God is saying is
possible and it's not only possible it's God's
explicit will and I get you going I
get you going and it makes you inventive
it makes you inventive if you can't go
around there you will go there if you
can't go over it you will go under
it but you won't give up and that's
actually the secret of my team we are
just not given giving up amen Africa
is being saved not by might nor by
power but by my spirit says the Lord
what a mighty God we serve amen amen
it's such an immense privilege such an immense
privilege I just want to conclude my report
and then I start preaching you know by
by by saying something that stirred my heart
from the book of Joshua well Joshua of
course is all our favorite isn't it it's
terrific it's wonderful and you know Joshua 1
for God gives the dimensions of the promised
land and he says from the desert to
Lebanon that's from south to north and then
it says from the Great Lake to the
river Euphrates not Jordan to the river Euphrates
shall be your limit say amen and then
I wondered Euphrates Euphrates Euphrates this is a
Euphrates promise God gave a Euphrates promise and
I said to myself now Euphrates is a
mighty river just look at the map it's
a mighty river now God didn't say which
point of the Euphrates the closest or the
furthest if Israel had taken the closest point
of the Euphrates River it would have meant
about let me just say about 300,000
square miles of territory but if God would
have meant the furthest point of the river
Euphrates it would have been more or less
1 million square miles of territory so the
difference between 300,000 and 1 million was
lying between well that was the scope God
gave to Israel you know I call that
Euphrates promise the rubber band promise of God
it has a built-in elasticity and the
more I thought about it the clearer it
became to me that every single promise of
God has a built-in elasticity there's always
in every promise a minimum and a maximum
and the difference between minimum and maximum does
not depend upon God it depends you and
me what we do with the promise of
God I tell you for whom the minimum
is the minimum is for those men of
God who are always very easily to be
satisfied they are satisfied with the small things
it's all they ever dreamt I don't belong
to that lazy lot the minimum is for
the lazy ones but there is another breed
of men and women they say like Caleb
give me that mountain give me that mountain
there is a maximum and God's maximum is
always for those hungry men and those hungry
women they can never get enough you give
them as much as you want and they
are still hungry I want more from God
and I believe God delights in those men
and women who hunger for more may God
grant that we possess our Euphrates promise to
the full and I tell you what that
Euphrates promise is for our time and generation
not just for Africa to be saved but
for Europe to be saved as well and
for America to be saved and Latin America
as a bonus on top of it and
the whole world shall be saved because Jesus
for the whole wide world that is the
maximum amen that is the maximum the
Church of Jesus Christ cannot be compared with
a pleasure boat it cannot be compared with
a pleasure boat entertainers are neither needed nor
wanted the Church of Jesus Christ is not
a pleasure boat it's a lifeboat a lifeboat
every hand
from
the doesn't seek the lost is lost itself
Oh may the Holy Spirit charge our spirits
that we get our focus right and the
master focus of Scripture is the cross of
Calvary and the reason of this cross saved
to be lost amen I do not feel
my view myself as any having anything to
do with entertainment I'm not traveling around to
entertain people I'm not interested I tell you
I'm not I'm not interested in compliments or
in prices or in awards or what I
every time I preach I've just got one
one one one aim I want hell empty
and heaven full and I want something to
happen in that line in the name of
Jesus because Jesus has come the works of
the devil I don't come from Hollywood from
Calvary well
if your thermometer if your thermometer works you
will feel the heat amen we've got to
do something more than we have ever done
before to win our generation for Jesus Christ
glory to God in the highest let me
just read one scripture if I may Matthew
3 11 I indeed baptize you with water
unto repentance but he who is coming after
me is mightier than I John said whose
sandals I am not worthy to carry he
will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and
fire amen we know that scripture the fire
of the Holy Spirit is to me personally
not just a little decoration over a Christian's
head it's the absolute necessity for an effective
ministry do you agree with me you see
the gospel that God has given us is
a fire gospel it has something to do
with fire it burns I found an Old
Testament illustration why we need the fire of
the Holy Spirit just with a few sentences
let me let me let me say that
in the book of Judges we read about
something I've been puzzled about that scripture I
think it's it's chapter 15 where Samson had
an awful experience he married a wonderful girl
the girl of his choice and then one
day when he came home to visit his
wife his father-in-law oh dear you
should never speak bad about the mother-in
-law he is a very wicked father-in
-law his father-in-law said hey Samson
I thought you wouldn't come back I've given
your wife to another man so Samson was
very very angry and we can't blame him
and then Samson did something that can only
be understood in in the times in those
times the Bible says he went and he
caught 300 foxes now that's miracle number one
all right and then it says that he
took those foxes and tied tail to tail
and because every fox only has got one
tail I think you always joined two and
then Samson did a very cruel thing he
took a torch and he lit the tails
of these fox pairs and let them run
into the ripe harvest fields of the Philistines
his enemies and I think as the foxes
run Samson might have just wondered and looked
and watched and watched and watched and wherever
he watched he could exactly see where the
foxes were running because they're everywhere everywhere they
run they lit fires and all of a
sudden my mind went back to Luke where
Jesus said I have come to throw fire
on earth and what did Jesus do Jesus
took his foxes his disciples two by two
he joined them together two by two and
then he put a divine flame of authority
upon them and he said go preach the
gospel raise the dead cast out devils heal
the sick cleanse the lepers freely you have
received freely give and what did they do
they went and what happened the whole country
started to burn the whole country started to
burn I asked myself one silly question what
would have happened if Samson had caught the
foxes tied their tails together and sent them
off what would have happened if Samson had
forgotten to light the tails huh nothing absolutely
nothing and I I tremble to say this
I've seen it so many times there are
servants of God who work their fingers to
the bone and nothing happens because the fire
is missing therefore we need that flame of
the Holy Spirit as a bare necessity in
our lives and ministries to be effective in
times like these and may God grant that
truly we may be incendiary of Jesus Christ
that's the only time when arson is not
a crime hallelujah and we are going to
burn down the devil's harvest fields we will
burn down his harvest field of hate and
of pornography through the fire of the Holy
Spirit that is God's antidote to anything Satan
wants to do and harm our nations and
our young generation our sons and our daughters
he is the baptizer with the Holy Ghost
and with fire said John hallelujah I believe
in the fire because I burned with it
amen glory to God let me say just
very briefly something about the purpose of the
fire the need of the fire now the
purpose of the fire the Holy Spirit is
not just given to us for us to
be happy and clappy you know although that's
also also true thank God we are not
baptized into lemon juice amen but that fire
of the Holy Spirit is given for a
very specific purpose very specific purpose actually I've
said it already listen sometimes I'm
thinking of these old steam engines these old
locomotives of the railways you would say railroads
you know railroads you know these old steam
engines huffing and puffing with fire in their
bellies let me just draw a picture when
when the fire is lit in one of
those locomotives and the head of steam is
built up by the fire there's pressure on
the boiler the train driver can do two
things he can either pull the lever for
the whistle and when he does that all
the steam will go through the whistle the
energy will go through the whistle and it
can be heard for miles around a mighty
mighty sound but the train driver can do
something else he can pull another lever and
then the steam the energy is directed to
the pistons and all of a sudden those
big wheels start turning with much less fuss
than the whistle makes and the whole load
is transported across the land this is a
picture why God is baptizing us with a
Holy Ghost and with fire the whistle is
important I don't deny that but if that
is all if that was all it would
be a great pity hear the word of
the Lord pull the lever so that the
fire that the energy this divine energy the
Holy Spirit power is directed to the pistons
and then we go into all the world
and preach the gospel to every creature that
is the purpose for Pentecost hallelujah let's give
a hand for Jesus blessed be
the name of the Lord God hasn't made
the sofa for us he's made the road
for us the church is not a sit
church the church is a go church Jesus
said go ye into all the world and
preach the gospel somebody has got to go
we need to go amen hallelujah and you
know the nature of the fire of the
Holy Spirit just look at the burning bush
I'm giving you pictures here today just look
at the burning bush of Moses some people
say I won't let me burn out for
thee dear Lord I don't I don't pray
that because I don't want to be an
ashid the whole secret the whole secret of
the burning bush with Moses was that it
burned but it was not consumed don't forget
that when the Holy Spirit comes upon man
they burn but they are not consumed and
they keep on burning and they're still not
consumed fire of God is of a different
quality amen oh the nature of that fire
is absolutely terrific it's absolutely terrific I saw
something in Acts chapter 2 lately I've never
seen before and you know I know that
chapter by heart as you do I saw
all of a sudden I saw something I've
never seen before acts 2 it says there
first three let me run and there appeared
to them divided tongues as of fire and
one sat upon each of them and they
were all filled with the Holy Spirit and
began to speak with other tongues as the
Spirit gave them utterance and there appeared to
them divided tongues as of fire and sat
upon one each one of them listen I
asked myself what would have happened in Jerusalem
if the fire of the Holy Spirit would
have come in one big massive general flame
one big flame coming down on the upper
room what would have happened I think if
that would have been the case we would
all have to make pilgrimages to Jerusalem and
then we would appear there maybe once a
year around that mighty big flame and we
would start to warm us first from the
front because it's so cold and then from
the back and when you are warm from
the back you are getting cold again in
the front so you turn around again listen
there didn't come one big flame because that
was not God's purpose the fire of the
Holy Spirit is not given just for us
to have cozy conferences I'll tell you what
happened the fire it says you came in
divided tongues the Greek it speaks of utterly
separate utterly separate flames and it sat upon
each of them and I said Lord what
that does it mean what does it mean
and suddenly the Holy Spirit spoke to me
I never heard that before he said to
me the flames of fire a miniature power
stations for the road hallelujah and one sat
upon each of them and instead of us
always having to run back to the fire
we carry that fire that power station is
with me right now that power station is
with you right now a man we are
bearers of this wonderful holy pure fire from
on high he is the baptizer with the
Holy Ghost and with fire isn't that terrific
I am a bearer of that fire amen
how many of you are bearers of that
fire hallelujah let's give a hand for Jesus
I'm a carrier of that fire we are
bearers of this fire hallelujah what a difference
what a difference I told the story on
other occasions but allow me to mention this
no wonder I was preaching somewhere and afterwards
a lady came to me and she said
to me preacher pray for me pray for
me pray for me pray for me she
said there is a demon sitting right here
on my head I said where she said
here I said are you a Christian she
said yes yes yes so puzzled she said
pray for me pray for me tears came
out of her eyes pray for me there's
a demon she repeated sitting right here on
my head and one moment the Holy Spirit
touched my heart I said to her lady
flies can only sit on a cold stove
and on
a cold stove they can sit for a
mighty long time but get the fire of
the Holy Spirit inside of you and I'll
tell you that dirty devil will not dare
to touch you because he's going to burn
his filthy fingers amen oh we carry a
flame it is a power station a miniature
power station powerful ministry powerful life it is
the power of the Holy Spirit glory to
God just imagine this is the stove I
mean the hot stove here comes the fly
here the
fly senses the heat of the stove amen
oh hallelujah I tell you if the devil
keeps on troubling you just get a new
dosage of the fire of God amen and
all of a sudden you will feel the
heat and you will say wow I used
to be afraid of the devil today the
devil is afraid of me it's a fact
God solved my devil problem 2,000 years
ago when Jesus crushed the head of the
serpent that's not our problem it's not our
problem that problem is solved and Jesus is
sent not sending us like defenseless defenseless yeah
somebody said to me haven't you read Jesus
said I sent you like sheep among the
wolves I said yes he sends us like
sheep among the wolves but the sheep are
on the attack isn't that true the sheep
are on the attack amen I tell you
I've got a fierce spirit inside of me
now when I move out to preach the
gospel it burns and it burns in my
heart and I just launch these gospel assaults
on Satan's territory and we see how this
wonderful built-in gospel power turns the tables
again and again and again we have that
34,000 seater tent in South Africa and
when we pitched it for the second time
in Cape Town a mighty mighty tornado swept
in and our tent was destroyed destroyed it
wasn't just torn it was shredded I was
in India with Ron at that time in
Calcutta preaching to the Hindus remember and my
team was weeping they said it was like
a funeral to see that tent disintegrate and
I was told by phone I had such
peace in my heart perfect peace I had
so much peace that I became worried I
was worried that I wasn't worried do you
know what I'm talking about I thought how
can it be my whole team is weeping
and I feel as if I'm on top
of everything but what I wanted to say
this is this that wind swept those shreds
of the tent roof into the backyards of
the people of Cape Town afterwards I heard
people took those pieces and laid them upon
the sick and they were healed and then
I knew I tell you no matter what
Satan does no matter let him shred the
tent and we he just has helped us
to distribute our prayer cloths I mean he's
a servant forever he is condemned to defeat
and we are condemned to victory in Jesus
name amen he is the baptizer with the
Holy Ghost and with fire and divided tongues
of fire shall fall upon the people that's
the anointing we talk about it's that power
station that generates Holy Spirit energy day and
night and it's inexhaustible and it is pollution
free just in case here is somebody from
the Green Party amen we are condemned to
victory amen hallelujah I know it's late will
you allow me to tell you one more
story listen this was terrific I was invited
on secular television to come for a talk
for a talk show and they had invited
an atheist and some other fellows I never
know knew them before I was introduced to
them just beforehand before before the meetings before
the talk show started now I was the
preacher and while we were talking I don't
know what happened I thought we were to
talk about spiritual spiritual subjects there was nothing
spiritual there they talked about horse racing gambling
gambling now I told you I was I
grew up as the son of a pastor
I never had a chance in all my
life to gamble thank God I always just
stumble on the help of God that's all
and that's no gamble but they were talking
horses horse it was just the time of
the handicap races there in the city horses
horses horses horses horses and that atheist was
the expert he knew all the horses the
names of the horses he knew all the
names of the of the jockeys back to
front I mean just by he knew it
and he was rattling it off I was
sitting there not my eyes shut and I
prayed I said talking
horses horses horses horses horses suddenly a flash
went through my spirit and I woke up
and I said to the atheist I said
mister now I would like to tell you
something about horses the atheist was surprised what
does this preacher know about horse racing I
said mister I have put all my money
on the white horse in the book of
Revelation hallelujah amen
now though the atheist started to marvel looked
at me scratched his head he repeated white
horse the book of education revelation the white
horse in the book of Revelation and then
that atheist made a second mistake he said
to me preacher tell me who is the
rider on that horse hallelujah
amen I had the feeling you wanted to
know the name of the jockey and I
said mister in Revelation chapter 19 we read
his name his name is faithful and true
king of kings lord of lords Jesus Christ
is his name the son of the living
God hallelujah amen
I said mister I want to be honest
with you I didn't put my money on
him because I got no money but I
put my life and my soul on him
and I know already now I'm going to
win we are condemned to victory in the
name of Jesus it's not by might nor
by power but by my spirit saith the
Lord it's not flame that enables us the
divine commission comes with a divine enablement that
miniature power station is functioning perfectly in Jesus
name America shall be saved amen let's give
a hand for Jesus let's give a hand
for Jesus I'm concluding
I'm concluding and I want to say justice
God spoke to my heart about America I
believe you and I we together here are
going to I
didn't see it as a project I saw
it already done I saw it as done
you know God sees things as done and
I see it as done our sons and
our daughters are not going to be ruined
by pornography and by ungodliness our sons and
our daughters shall prophesy our young man shall
see visions and upon servants and handmaids the
Lord will pour out his Holy Spirit I
believe this with all my heart God wants
to hear you.
