1 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:45,060 John 8, 37, on the last and greatest 2 00:00:45,060 --> 00:00:46,300 day of the feast. 3 00:00:47,380 --> 00:00:51,700 This isn't quite, but it will be tomorrow. 4 00:00:53,740 --> 00:00:56,560 Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, 5 00:00:58,180 --> 00:01:04,200 quoting Isaiah 55, come, if anyone is thirsty, 6 00:01:04,740 --> 00:01:06,640 let him come to me and drink. 7 00:01:08,260 --> 00:01:14,400 We are living in a time where people 8 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:23,050 are dying of thirst, and part of the 9 00:01:23,050 --> 00:01:25,630 world is dying because there's too much water. 10 00:01:28,690 --> 00:01:32,170 The problem is that those of us who 11 00:01:32,170 --> 00:01:37,370 have water need to get it to those 12 00:01:37,370 --> 00:01:38,690 who are hungry and thirsty. 13 00:01:39,510 --> 00:01:44,530 Near us, half a million, half a million 14 00:01:45,390 --> 00:01:51,050 of a tribe that nobody wants have left 15 00:01:51,050 --> 00:01:54,770 the country near us and gone to Bangladesh, 16 00:01:55,130 --> 00:01:59,870 which is already, can hardly feed her own 17 00:01:59,870 --> 00:02:00,250 people. 18 00:02:01,130 --> 00:02:03,890 Do you hear the cry of those who 19 00:02:03,890 --> 00:02:04,490 are thirsty? 20 00:02:06,510 --> 00:02:08,630 We're living in a time when the world 21 00:02:10,710 --> 00:02:19,050 is wandering, they're looking, they're looking for a 22 00:02:19,050 --> 00:02:19,810 better country. 23 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,880 Whoever believes in me, Jesus said, as scripture 24 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,680 has said, streams of living water will flow 25 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,120 from within him. 26 00:02:37,490 --> 00:02:39,190 By this, he meant the spirit. 27 00:02:41,340 --> 00:02:47,320 So we have Jesus calling, come, and then 28 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,000 we have Jesus saying, go. 29 00:02:52,760 --> 00:03:00,220 Streams of water will flow from us to 30 00:03:00,220 --> 00:03:06,900 a waiting, hungry, dying world, and we know 31 00:03:06,900 --> 00:03:09,940 that the people who are actually physically lacking 32 00:03:09,940 --> 00:03:14,180 water are the same people who've never heard 33 00:03:14,180 --> 00:03:15,600 of the love of the Lord Jesus. 34 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:23,050 They're dying twice over and waiting for someone 35 00:03:23,050 --> 00:03:23,550 to go. 36 00:03:24,070 --> 00:03:28,890 Peter talked on Sunday about the coming and 37 00:03:28,890 --> 00:03:31,190 then the pumping out, the going, it's always 38 00:03:31,190 --> 00:03:33,330 coming and going. 39 00:03:34,490 --> 00:03:37,310 This is always the gospel. 40 00:03:39,150 --> 00:03:44,550 Come and feast with Jesus, and then go 41 00:03:44,550 --> 00:03:47,310 and invite others to the feast, and the 42 00:03:47,310 --> 00:03:50,610 last verses of scripture, this privilege is given 43 00:03:50,610 --> 00:03:54,930 to us, the spirit and the bride, to 44 00:03:54,930 --> 00:03:57,730 invite the thirsty to come. 45 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,960 Thank you for inviting me. 46 00:04:05,580 --> 00:04:08,060 I've just come to tell a few stories 47 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:13,520 about inviting people to the feast and how 48 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,019 it's worked, and the stories are not supposed 49 00:04:17,019 --> 00:04:21,360 to make you think how special I am, 50 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,480 because, well, I'm as special as you only, 51 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,940 but that's very special, but not more special, 52 00:04:31,390 --> 00:04:37,350 because everyone's been called for something different, and 53 00:04:37,350 --> 00:04:39,170 there are people that you can reach that 54 00:04:39,170 --> 00:04:44,510 I cannot, so admire what the Lord has 55 00:04:44,510 --> 00:04:46,490 done through me, but don't admire me, it 56 00:04:46,490 --> 00:04:52,620 was just what he chose for me, and 57 00:04:52,620 --> 00:04:54,760 it's been good fun. 58 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,180 On the last and greatest day of the 59 00:04:57,180 --> 00:05:03,360 feast, tabernacles, of course, is the ingathering of 60 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,900 the harvest, and that's what Lauren was just 61 00:05:05,900 --> 00:05:10,060 talking about, when we rejoice and we pray 62 00:05:10,060 --> 00:05:12,180 for what the Lord is doing in Israel, 63 00:05:12,500 --> 00:05:16,920 and we pray that Israel will be saved. 64 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:22,640 This will happen as we reach the Gentiles 65 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,300 and the harvest, this final, wonderful grain and 66 00:05:26,300 --> 00:05:32,480 wine harvest is the last ingathering of the 67 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,800 saints before the Lord Jesus comes back, and 68 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:42,020 this feast was always supposed to be celebrated 69 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:49,160 by Israel with the aliens, with the fatherless, 70 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,920 and with the widows, they were always supposed 71 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,160 to be part of this feast. 72 00:05:57,700 --> 00:06:01,340 Some years ago, we were meeting with different 73 00:06:01,340 --> 00:06:05,780 groups in Hong Kong, and we were sharing 74 00:06:05,780 --> 00:06:11,720 how we reach the homeless, there are many 75 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:16,320 people who are sleeping under the bridges, and 76 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,740 this was a few years ago, and nowadays, 77 00:06:19,020 --> 00:06:22,220 Hong Kong is so full of people and 78 00:06:22,220 --> 00:06:25,200 buildings that there isn't even room on the 79 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,880 streets for people to sleep, it's bad. 80 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,960 Our homeless have to go upwards because the 81 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:39,760 streets, not even room, and then the government 82 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,600 builds concrete things so they cannot sleep there, 83 00:06:44,980 --> 00:06:50,920 but we have been for many years going 84 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,380 out to them, and we were sharing with 85 00:06:53,380 --> 00:06:56,980 different groups what we did, and some of 86 00:06:56,980 --> 00:06:58,760 our people are saying, well, we go out 87 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,720 and we pray for them, and we see 88 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,960 them healed, of course, I mean, expect them 89 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:11,940 to, so that's part of the privilege that 90 00:07:11,940 --> 00:07:13,420 the Lord's given us to go and heal 91 00:07:13,420 --> 00:07:16,640 the sick, so we take rice boxes, and 92 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:22,220 we might take blankets, another group said they 93 00:07:22,220 --> 00:07:26,240 gave food, what we do is we get 94 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,300 up very early in the morning, might be 95 00:07:28,300 --> 00:07:31,040 about four o'clock, to go and meet 96 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,700 the street sleeper in order to get him 97 00:07:34,700 --> 00:07:36,440 up, because he's asleep, and then we have 98 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,160 to take him to a public shower so 99 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,780 he can get washed, and then we take 100 00:07:39,780 --> 00:07:42,080 him for a cup of tea, and then 101 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,100 we put him on a bus with us, 102 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,760 this all takes several hours, so we can 103 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,760 take him to the social welfare and get 104 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,060 registered, because he will not go by himself, 105 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,620 and when we get to the social welfare, 106 00:07:55,220 --> 00:07:57,700 they give me a cup of tea, not 107 00:07:57,700 --> 00:08:03,060 him, it's really mean, anyway, this is what 108 00:08:03,060 --> 00:08:06,140 we do, and it takes time, well, different 109 00:08:06,140 --> 00:08:08,300 groups were sharing, and it came to the 110 00:08:08,300 --> 00:08:12,200 final group, and they said, we don't give 111 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,080 out blankets, we don't give out rice boxes, 112 00:08:15,580 --> 00:08:22,520 we just preach the gospel, I think, what's 113 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:22,920 that? 114 00:08:24,770 --> 00:08:25,630 What's that? 115 00:08:28,060 --> 00:08:33,440 And this is a question that we need 116 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,960 to think about, because Peter was talking about 117 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:42,980 the new Jerusalem, and the heavenly Jerusalem, and 118 00:08:42,980 --> 00:08:46,860 the earthly Jerusalem, and part of our privilege 119 00:08:46,860 --> 00:08:50,640 is to bring the heavenly Jerusalem to earth, 120 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:55,240 the kingdom of God, to change, not just 121 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,160 get people to put their hand up to 122 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,740 accept Jesus as savior, but to see them 123 00:08:59,740 --> 00:09:05,420 fed, clothed, healed, set free, looking after their 124 00:09:05,420 --> 00:09:12,860 families, loving their wives, this is the kingdom 125 00:09:12,860 --> 00:09:17,380 of God, it isn't a yes in church, 126 00:09:17,500 --> 00:09:20,480 only though that hopefully will be the beginning, 127 00:09:26,130 --> 00:09:31,650 I knew a lady, she was the mother 128 00:09:31,650 --> 00:09:36,130 of a drug addict, and this, he never 129 00:09:36,130 --> 00:09:41,210 has changed, I'm sorry to say, but he 130 00:09:41,210 --> 00:09:42,910 lived in the walled city, and that was 131 00:09:42,910 --> 00:09:47,810 a place that I was sent to when 132 00:09:47,810 --> 00:09:50,490 I got to Hong Kong 50 years ago, 133 00:09:52,210 --> 00:09:55,070 and it's a strange place, it was outside 134 00:09:55,070 --> 00:09:57,490 Hong Kong's law, it was left out of 135 00:09:57,490 --> 00:10:02,410 the treaty between Britain and China, and there 136 00:10:02,410 --> 00:10:04,730 I was in the walled city, which was 137 00:10:04,730 --> 00:10:09,210 outside the law, and because of that, it 138 00:10:09,210 --> 00:10:13,930 was that it began to be built up 139 00:10:13,930 --> 00:10:16,490 when the many refugees came, because they didn't 140 00:10:16,490 --> 00:10:19,670 need to have building permission, so it just 141 00:10:19,670 --> 00:10:22,850 went upwards, it was a city without foundations, 142 00:10:24,010 --> 00:10:27,510 because it was like a card house, they 143 00:10:27,510 --> 00:10:30,310 just built one upon another, so our slums 144 00:10:30,310 --> 00:10:33,310 go upwards, they're the same as your slums, 145 00:10:34,130 --> 00:10:38,370 but upwards, and in the streets, they're just 146 00:10:38,370 --> 00:10:43,070 two or three feet wide, because they're built 147 00:10:43,070 --> 00:10:45,570 so closely together that if one would fall, 148 00:10:45,630 --> 00:10:47,710 they nearly all would fall, it feels like 149 00:10:47,710 --> 00:10:50,490 being in an underground city, very similar to 150 00:10:50,490 --> 00:10:54,070 the old city here, feels like that, except 151 00:10:54,070 --> 00:10:57,790 the streets are much narrower and darker, there 152 00:10:57,790 --> 00:11:03,030 was, when I got there, there was no 153 00:11:03,030 --> 00:11:08,110 toilets, and for nearly 100,000 people in 154 00:11:08,110 --> 00:11:11,230 about six acres, if you can imagine that, 155 00:11:12,110 --> 00:11:14,890 and just open sewers, and more rats than 156 00:11:14,890 --> 00:11:19,610 people, and everybody of course living in one 157 00:11:19,610 --> 00:11:21,930 room, but then we still all do in 158 00:11:21,930 --> 00:11:27,210 Hong Kong, many of the families we know 159 00:11:27,210 --> 00:11:31,090 even now are living whole family in three 160 00:11:31,090 --> 00:11:35,290 square meters, that's how it is, there's just 161 00:11:35,290 --> 00:11:39,170 not room, so there was the walled city, 162 00:11:39,750 --> 00:11:43,150 and it soon got taken over by gangs, 163 00:11:43,330 --> 00:11:49,370 they're called triads, and they controlled the selling 164 00:11:49,370 --> 00:11:56,590 of women, selling of drugs, there were 39 165 00:11:56,590 --> 00:12:01,830 opium dens, and people from outside weren't supposed 166 00:12:01,830 --> 00:12:04,050 to go in, because it was dangerous, if 167 00:12:04,050 --> 00:12:06,390 you got, there was no law in there, 168 00:12:06,970 --> 00:12:10,790 later I found the police were doing many 169 00:12:10,790 --> 00:12:15,170 things in there, but not the law, they 170 00:12:15,170 --> 00:12:19,570 were part of selling the girls, I was 171 00:12:19,570 --> 00:12:23,950 to see, but you can, I've seen where 172 00:12:23,950 --> 00:12:25,570 some of you come from, and you will 173 00:12:25,570 --> 00:12:30,070 have them in your cities now, these sold 174 00:12:30,070 --> 00:12:35,000 girls, it was just easy for me to 175 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,680 see the 13 year olds, who limped, born 176 00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:46,460 with polio, and visited approximately once every 30 177 00:12:46,460 --> 00:12:49,240 minutes, so I knew they would die soon, 178 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:54,220 I couldn't get to them, unless I paid, 179 00:12:57,710 --> 00:12:59,550 and how can you bring good news to 180 00:12:59,550 --> 00:13:04,660 a girl who's locked up and guarded, anyway 181 00:13:04,660 --> 00:13:08,220 that's where this man, this drug addict lived, 182 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,580 who never changed, and I was worried about 183 00:13:11,580 --> 00:13:14,080 his mother, I used to say, please can 184 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,300 I visit your mother, and he said, oh 185 00:13:16,300 --> 00:13:19,020 no, no, no, no, she believes in idols, 186 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:25,660 she won't want you to call her, and 187 00:13:25,660 --> 00:13:29,020 I knew that it was because he got 188 00:13:29,020 --> 00:13:32,160 money from her, anyway he got put in 189 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,340 prison at one time, so I finally found 190 00:13:35,340 --> 00:13:38,040 where she was, and I took someone with 191 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:42,500 me, actually he was a gangster, who had 192 00:13:42,500 --> 00:13:46,460 just about been redeemed, I mean our people 193 00:13:46,460 --> 00:13:53,220 are saved by a whisker, and just the 194 00:13:53,220 --> 00:13:57,160 grace of God, so I took him with 195 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:01,980 me, and we went up six stories, and 196 00:14:01,980 --> 00:14:05,000 I found her dying, she was lying in 197 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,820 bed, and what had happened was, that when 198 00:14:08,820 --> 00:14:11,680 she was in hospital, years before she had 199 00:14:11,680 --> 00:14:15,880 bought this boy, because if you don't have 200 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,460 a son you have nothing, she was a 201 00:14:19,460 --> 00:14:24,920 widow, so she bought him, so she made 202 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,340 her money selling herbs in the market, but 203 00:14:28,340 --> 00:14:31,680 she didn't have a license, so she was 204 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:38,500 always getting fined, or paying bribes, I went 205 00:14:38,500 --> 00:14:40,080 to her, her name was Mrs. Chan, and 206 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,420 I said, Mrs. Chan can I pray for 207 00:14:42,420 --> 00:14:47,440 you, and she said, what do I have 208 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,940 to do, and I said, nothing just close 209 00:14:49,940 --> 00:14:52,760 your eyes, and Jesus will come, she had 210 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,800 decided you see, that because she had a 211 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,860 bad son, she would die, so she was 212 00:14:58,860 --> 00:15:02,460 lying in bed, waiting to die, so I 213 00:15:02,460 --> 00:15:04,780 said Jesus will come, try this by the 214 00:15:04,780 --> 00:15:08,780 way, don't tell them about Jesus, before you 215 00:15:08,780 --> 00:15:11,160 pray for them, let him do it, because 216 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:16,180 he's better, and so people are a bit 217 00:15:16,180 --> 00:15:19,800 interested, if you say close your eyes, he'll 218 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,740 come, and so I put out my hand, 219 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:27,380 and I was praying in tongues silently, that's 220 00:15:27,380 --> 00:15:32,800 the polite thing to do, so I was 221 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,960 praying in tongues silently, dear spirit of God, 222 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,660 please show her who you are, please save 223 00:15:40,660 --> 00:15:45,880 her life, and after a minute, she began 224 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,500 to sigh very deeply, and I said, I 225 00:15:48,500 --> 00:15:52,060 learned this in California by the way, how 226 00:15:52,060 --> 00:15:52,880 do you feel? 227 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:59,020 She says, oh hang, I feel very light 228 00:15:59,020 --> 00:16:02,040 in my chest, she had a chest complaint, 229 00:16:02,540 --> 00:16:04,480 that was why she was waiting to die, 230 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:09,760 and I said, you know, the God who 231 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,000 made heaven and earth, really knows how you 232 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:18,660 feel, because he lost his son, he sent 233 00:16:18,660 --> 00:16:21,460 his son down to the earth, because he 234 00:16:21,460 --> 00:16:25,600 understands about your son, and he understands about 235 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,080 your chest pain, will you believe Jesus is 236 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:29,780 the son of God? 237 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,760 Yes, this is always how it goes, and 238 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,960 then silent prayer for another half a minute, 239 00:16:38,940 --> 00:16:41,280 okay how do you feel now Mrs. Chan? 240 00:16:41,820 --> 00:16:44,940 Oh, my chest feels really clear, I said, 241 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,260 that's because Jesus put all your chest pains 242 00:16:48,260 --> 00:16:51,380 on him when he died, he died on 243 00:16:51,380 --> 00:16:52,920 the cross for you, will you believe that? 244 00:16:53,060 --> 00:16:58,030 Yes, and then the next question, this is 245 00:16:58,030 --> 00:17:02,090 always the easy one by the way, will 246 00:17:02,090 --> 00:17:04,030 you believe that Jesus rose again? 247 00:17:04,109 --> 00:17:07,630 Of course, I've just met him, you know, 248 00:17:07,890 --> 00:17:10,770 this is the frequent way that we lead 249 00:17:10,770 --> 00:17:13,569 people to Christ, you see, it's much easier 250 00:17:13,569 --> 00:17:17,510 if he does it, so, all right Mrs. 251 00:17:17,670 --> 00:17:20,670 Chan, well tell him, you'd like to give 252 00:17:20,670 --> 00:17:23,250 all your chest pains, and your worry about 253 00:17:23,250 --> 00:17:25,770 your son, and all the things you feel 254 00:17:25,770 --> 00:17:29,470 bad about, the things you've done, and just 255 00:17:29,470 --> 00:17:32,010 give them all to Jesus, and he'll give 256 00:17:32,010 --> 00:17:33,570 you a new life, so that's how she 257 00:17:33,570 --> 00:17:36,510 came to the Lord, after that by the 258 00:17:36,510 --> 00:17:40,610 way, we boiled some bones that we'd brought 259 00:17:40,610 --> 00:17:44,030 with us, because Chinese love soup, and so 260 00:17:44,030 --> 00:17:46,250 we gave her soup, and we gave her 261 00:17:46,250 --> 00:17:50,290 bran's chicken essence too, so she could revive, 262 00:17:51,010 --> 00:17:53,110 and a few days later I came back 263 00:17:53,110 --> 00:17:56,250 to see her, and I said, now Mrs. 264 00:17:56,410 --> 00:17:58,090 Chan, how are you? 265 00:17:58,790 --> 00:18:01,570 She'd thrown out all her idols without being 266 00:18:01,570 --> 00:18:04,370 asked, she said, they never helped me or 267 00:18:04,370 --> 00:18:11,360 my son, so, good, next thing she said, 268 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,200 I got to be baptized, so I said, 269 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,520 Mrs. Chan, where did you get that from? 270 00:18:18,100 --> 00:18:20,540 She said, well, the other night I was 271 00:18:20,540 --> 00:18:24,060 watching the TV, now she had a TV, 272 00:18:24,260 --> 00:18:28,880 but there's no electricity you understand, so she 273 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,000 had this 31 inch TV, and she said, 274 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,780 I was watching the TV the other night, 275 00:18:35,420 --> 00:18:38,840 and she said, this man walked by, and 276 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,640 he had on a long white robe, and 277 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,380 he was walking up a mountain, and it 278 00:18:45,380 --> 00:18:49,780 was very beautiful, and there were lovely flowers 279 00:18:49,780 --> 00:18:52,420 up there, and he held out his hand, 280 00:18:52,540 --> 00:18:57,080 and he said, Mrs. Chan, will you follow 281 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:57,600 me? 282 00:18:58,360 --> 00:19:01,900 And I said, yes Lord, and he said, 283 00:19:02,260 --> 00:19:02,840 be baptized. 284 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:15,680 How did I get to Hong Kong? 285 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,300 Well, I wrote a book, and I haven't 286 00:19:19,300 --> 00:19:22,580 bought it to sell to you, sorry, sorry, 287 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,680 I always forget these things, it's not my 288 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,540 thing selling books, but anyway, somewhere you might 289 00:19:27,540 --> 00:19:28,580 be able to get a hold of one, 290 00:19:28,620 --> 00:19:33,520 it is in Arabic, but it was through 291 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:38,780 a dream, it was through a vision, and 292 00:19:38,780 --> 00:19:41,580 I came to know Jesus, and it was 293 00:19:41,580 --> 00:19:45,120 like breathing in and breathing out, you know, 294 00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:47,560 that's why I'm not very good at conferences, 295 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,520 because you know, I came to know Jesus, 296 00:19:51,620 --> 00:19:54,380 and 30 seconds later I thought, oh this 297 00:19:54,380 --> 00:19:59,120 is awful, you know, well I've got eternal 298 00:19:59,120 --> 00:20:01,300 life, I've just done Bible study with my 299 00:20:01,300 --> 00:20:06,560 friends, and, but how can I enjoy it, 300 00:20:07,360 --> 00:20:10,320 if my father is not there, he doesn't 301 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,960 know you, the Lord, I'm not sure if 302 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,020 I can enjoy eternal life when there are 303 00:20:15,020 --> 00:20:18,520 people who are going to hell, so I 304 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,080 opened my eyes, this was my first Bible 305 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:27,200 study, and my friends were sitting around, and 306 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,940 then they got up, as Christians do, to 307 00:20:30,940 --> 00:20:37,380 eat, always eating, and, and you know, I'm 308 00:20:37,380 --> 00:20:42,180 just born again, and I'm very intense, so 309 00:20:42,180 --> 00:20:44,980 they were cooking risotto, if you know what 310 00:20:44,980 --> 00:20:48,920 that is, and I thought, how can you 311 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,280 eat risotto, when people are going to hell, 312 00:20:53,260 --> 00:20:55,580 I really, that's exactly how I thought, so 313 00:20:55,580 --> 00:20:58,520 I couldn't stay there and eat risotto, I 314 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,900 felt we were all rather well fed already, 315 00:21:01,120 --> 00:21:04,060 so I went out, this was in London, 316 00:21:04,700 --> 00:21:09,000 and, found somebody who was stuck to a 317 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,720 park bench, she'd been there several days, she 318 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,980 was stuck to it because she'd urinated on 319 00:21:14,980 --> 00:21:21,260 it, that's it for me, you come, and 320 00:21:21,260 --> 00:21:25,860 you go, and I've rarely been able to 321 00:21:25,860 --> 00:21:28,820 handle conferences, because it's all, you know, eat, 322 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,220 eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, you know, 323 00:21:31,500 --> 00:21:33,360 and so I said to the Lord, it's 324 00:21:33,360 --> 00:21:35,200 you know, it's like breathing in and breathing 325 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,340 out, I've got to, I've got to go 326 00:21:37,340 --> 00:21:39,520 and find some lost people, what shall I 327 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,100 do if I've got to handle a long 328 00:21:41,100 --> 00:21:44,200 conference, and he said to me, it's okay, 329 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:53,820 you can take deeper breaths, the feast, it 330 00:21:53,820 --> 00:21:57,460 came that, after he told me to go, 331 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,400 and, there was only one thing I wanted 332 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,520 to do with my life, and that was 333 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,180 to share the love of Jesus with people 334 00:22:06,180 --> 00:22:10,080 who didn't know, it was just like Peter 335 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,400 was saying on Sunday morning, you know, the 336 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,780 words I've wanted to hear my whole life, 337 00:22:16,580 --> 00:22:23,160 since that day were, well done, good and 338 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:27,220 faithful servant, come and share your master's happiness, 339 00:22:28,020 --> 00:22:30,480 that's the yearning in my heart, I know 340 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,300 I'm saved, but you know, on the day 341 00:22:33,300 --> 00:22:35,220 that I meet him, I don't want to 342 00:22:35,220 --> 00:22:38,980 be ashamed that I wasted time, or wasted 343 00:22:38,980 --> 00:22:43,820 his heart, because that's what I have to 344 00:22:43,820 --> 00:22:45,900 share, and that's what you have to share, 345 00:22:48,350 --> 00:22:50,770 so it was through a dream, through a 346 00:22:50,770 --> 00:22:56,550 vision, and this is 1965, when I was 347 00:22:56,550 --> 00:23:01,210 praying, even through a message in tongues, and 348 00:23:01,210 --> 00:23:04,310 an interpretation, even in those days, so I, 349 00:23:04,310 --> 00:23:06,090 you know, I didn't think any of these 350 00:23:06,090 --> 00:23:08,090 things were strange, because they're all in the 351 00:23:08,090 --> 00:23:11,070 Bible, I just wanted to know what I 352 00:23:11,070 --> 00:23:13,110 was supposed to be doing, and the Lord 353 00:23:13,110 --> 00:23:16,710 said go, and so I wrote to missionary 354 00:23:16,710 --> 00:23:21,150 societies, and they didn't want me, and one 355 00:23:21,150 --> 00:23:22,550 of them said, you've got to wait till 356 00:23:22,550 --> 00:23:26,930 you're 25, and then you've got to go 357 00:23:26,930 --> 00:23:29,350 to missionary college, and learn things that you'll 358 00:23:29,350 --> 00:23:33,890 need on the field, and like changing car 359 00:23:33,890 --> 00:23:36,430 tires, and getting on with your worst friend, 360 00:23:37,530 --> 00:23:41,410 and so I said, well, I'm afraid Jesus 361 00:23:41,410 --> 00:23:45,250 might come back before I'm 25, could I 362 00:23:45,250 --> 00:23:47,350 please go a bit sooner, and they said 363 00:23:47,350 --> 00:23:50,650 no, that's our rules, so nobody wanted me, 364 00:23:51,070 --> 00:23:53,650 but the Lord was saying go, through the 365 00:23:53,650 --> 00:23:56,150 dream, through the vision, I knew they were 366 00:23:56,150 --> 00:23:59,430 hungry people, so finally I went to see 367 00:23:59,430 --> 00:24:02,530 a pastor in London, and I said now 368 00:24:02,530 --> 00:24:04,370 the Lord is telling me to go, and 369 00:24:04,370 --> 00:24:06,510 he's spoken to me very clearly, I've given 370 00:24:06,510 --> 00:24:09,070 him notice in all my jobs, I'm ready, 371 00:24:11,790 --> 00:24:13,790 but as he hasn't told me where to 372 00:24:13,790 --> 00:24:16,150 go, we've reached stalemate, so I think I'll 373 00:24:16,150 --> 00:24:18,750 stay in London, and help you, and he 374 00:24:18,750 --> 00:24:20,490 said no, no, no, no, no, no, the 375 00:24:20,490 --> 00:24:22,110 Lord's telling you to go, you must go, 376 00:24:22,330 --> 00:24:25,610 and I said, well I can't, because he 377 00:24:25,610 --> 00:24:29,270 hasn't told me where, and he said now 378 00:24:29,270 --> 00:24:34,510 if the Lord gave you, a job, a 379 00:24:34,510 --> 00:24:39,050 house, a health insurance, you wouldn't need to 380 00:24:39,050 --> 00:24:42,290 trust him, why don't you just get on 381 00:24:42,290 --> 00:24:45,190 the boat, find the cheapest one you can, 382 00:24:45,310 --> 00:24:47,810 calling in the most different countries, get on 383 00:24:47,810 --> 00:24:50,750 it, and pray where to get off, now 384 00:24:50,750 --> 00:24:53,070 when he said that, you know it was 385 00:24:53,070 --> 00:24:55,510 the first time, in all those months of 386 00:24:55,510 --> 00:24:57,990 searching, that anything made sense, and I thought, 387 00:24:58,490 --> 00:25:00,830 oh that's wonderful, bells went off in my 388 00:25:00,830 --> 00:25:04,110 heart, you know, oh, I said, oh I'd 389 00:25:04,110 --> 00:25:06,490 love to do that, but then the religious 390 00:25:06,490 --> 00:25:08,990 bit kicked in, and I said, he must 391 00:25:08,990 --> 00:25:11,730 be cheating, because I'm sure missionaries have to 392 00:25:11,730 --> 00:25:16,450 suffer, and that sounds fun, and he said, 393 00:25:16,530 --> 00:25:21,250 no it's scriptural, he said Abraham, was called 394 00:25:21,250 --> 00:25:22,790 to go, and he spent most of his 395 00:25:22,790 --> 00:25:26,590 life, not getting there, but he was looking 396 00:25:26,590 --> 00:25:32,470 forward to a city, Hebrews 11, 10, he 397 00:25:32,470 --> 00:25:35,350 was looking forward to a better country, so 398 00:25:35,350 --> 00:25:40,050 I thought, this is wonderful, he was a 399 00:25:40,050 --> 00:25:43,450 very smart man, this pastor, he said, don't 400 00:25:43,450 --> 00:25:45,110 expect that you're going to get on a 401 00:25:45,110 --> 00:25:47,770 ship, you know, and have a funny hairstyle, 402 00:25:48,090 --> 00:25:49,890 and get off the other end, and have 403 00:25:49,890 --> 00:25:53,190 a ministry, he was so smart, he said, 404 00:25:53,250 --> 00:25:54,850 maybe you'll go all the way around the 405 00:25:54,850 --> 00:25:58,010 world, just to tell one sailor about Christ, 406 00:25:59,090 --> 00:26:01,670 I thought, how, you see, it's very easy, 407 00:26:01,830 --> 00:26:03,970 you can't lose, and I thought, oh, how 408 00:26:03,970 --> 00:26:08,030 wonderful, we might get shipwrecked, and, you know, 409 00:26:08,090 --> 00:26:10,890 there might be somebody on an island, who's 410 00:26:10,890 --> 00:26:14,290 just waiting to hear about Jesus, can't lose, 411 00:26:14,930 --> 00:26:16,610 you know, so that's in fact what I 412 00:26:16,610 --> 00:26:20,330 did, I got onto a ship, and when 413 00:26:20,330 --> 00:26:22,790 we got, we went to eight different countries, 414 00:26:23,090 --> 00:26:25,070 I'd had my injections for all of them, 415 00:26:25,190 --> 00:26:27,790 just in case, I was to get off, 416 00:26:28,310 --> 00:26:31,870 and we got to Hong Kong, and they 417 00:26:31,870 --> 00:26:33,430 wouldn't let me get off the ship, because 418 00:26:33,430 --> 00:26:35,870 they said I hadn't got enough money, and 419 00:26:35,870 --> 00:26:37,150 they said, you know, where are you going 420 00:26:37,150 --> 00:26:37,590 to live? 421 00:26:37,630 --> 00:26:39,270 And I said, I haven't got anywhere yet, 422 00:26:39,470 --> 00:26:40,310 where are you working? 423 00:26:40,450 --> 00:26:42,230 I said, no, I haven't got a job 424 00:26:42,230 --> 00:26:44,170 yet, where are your friends? 425 00:26:46,250 --> 00:26:49,210 No, I haven't gotten yet, where's your mother? 426 00:26:50,610 --> 00:26:53,870 She's back in England, where's your return ticket? 427 00:26:55,430 --> 00:26:58,410 No, I haven't got a return ticket, but 428 00:26:58,410 --> 00:26:59,950 I tell you what I did have, I 429 00:26:59,950 --> 00:27:04,750 had, the equivalent of 15 American dollars, so 430 00:27:04,750 --> 00:27:07,370 I felt quite rich, so they said, we'll 431 00:27:07,370 --> 00:27:10,190 refuse your permission to leave the ship, and 432 00:27:10,190 --> 00:27:12,410 I thought, oh, I know what's going to 433 00:27:12,410 --> 00:27:17,670 happen, it's just all my, all my mother's 434 00:27:17,670 --> 00:27:20,110 friends quoted the verse that isn't in the 435 00:27:20,110 --> 00:27:24,030 Bible, you know, they said, God helps those 436 00:27:24,030 --> 00:27:28,430 that help themselves, very irresponsible, you know, and 437 00:27:28,430 --> 00:27:30,990 I thought, oh, I'm going to be arrested, 438 00:27:31,910 --> 00:27:34,990 and sent back to England in disgrace, and 439 00:27:34,990 --> 00:27:38,910 then I thought, oh, maybe I can convert 440 00:27:38,910 --> 00:27:44,030 the jailer, no, you see, you can't lose, 441 00:27:44,330 --> 00:27:48,630 that's all, I've been on a journey, that's 442 00:27:48,630 --> 00:27:50,470 how I got there, and I'm still on 443 00:27:50,470 --> 00:27:52,730 it, no, I don't have a ministry, I 444 00:27:52,730 --> 00:27:56,110 have a life, and my life is simply 445 00:27:56,630 --> 00:28:02,310 to touch the person near me, that's it, 446 00:28:02,790 --> 00:28:05,790 and you can do that, we can all 447 00:28:05,790 --> 00:28:07,370 do that, that's how I got to wall 448 00:28:07,370 --> 00:28:10,390 city, and I want to use the parable 449 00:28:10,390 --> 00:28:15,010 that Jesus used about the great banquet in 450 00:28:15,010 --> 00:28:19,370 Luke 14, because this goes with the feast 451 00:28:19,370 --> 00:28:24,510 of tabernacles, this is the last in gathering 452 00:28:24,510 --> 00:28:29,010 of those who will know the Lord Jesus, 453 00:28:30,410 --> 00:28:34,550 and Jesus in Luke 14 has already said 454 00:28:34,550 --> 00:28:36,770 in verse 13, when you give a banquet, 455 00:28:37,740 --> 00:28:39,850 don't invite the rich, because they can invite 456 00:28:39,850 --> 00:28:42,810 you back, invite the poor, the crippled, the 457 00:28:42,810 --> 00:28:45,730 lame, and the blind, it's like tabernacles was 458 00:28:45,730 --> 00:28:52,660 always supposed to be, also including the aliens, 459 00:28:52,920 --> 00:29:00,060 the fatherless, the widows, those who have no 460 00:29:00,060 --> 00:29:07,660 source except God and God's people, because that's 461 00:29:07,660 --> 00:29:15,750 always how it was in the scripture, when 462 00:29:15,750 --> 00:29:18,690 those at the table with him heard this, 463 00:29:20,210 --> 00:29:22,790 one of them said to Jesus, blessed is 464 00:29:22,790 --> 00:29:25,150 the man who'll eat the feast in the 465 00:29:25,150 --> 00:29:29,730 kingdom of God, verse 16, Jesus said, a 466 00:29:29,730 --> 00:29:32,410 certain man was preparing a great banquet and 467 00:29:32,410 --> 00:29:35,690 invited many guests, at the time of the 468 00:29:35,690 --> 00:29:38,030 banquet he sent his servant to tell those 469 00:29:38,030 --> 00:29:41,170 who'd been invited, come for everything is now 470 00:29:41,170 --> 00:29:46,250 ready, in those days when they were inviting 471 00:29:46,250 --> 00:29:48,210 someone to a feast or a wedding, they 472 00:29:48,210 --> 00:29:52,210 would send out an invitation, and people would 473 00:29:52,210 --> 00:29:55,790 say, yeah, I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming, 474 00:29:56,470 --> 00:29:59,190 but they would wait for the second invitation, 475 00:29:59,770 --> 00:30:04,130 now ready, now come, and this is what 476 00:30:04,130 --> 00:30:09,610 happened, all alike began to make excuses, the 477 00:30:09,610 --> 00:30:13,130 first one, I've just bought a field, please 478 00:30:13,130 --> 00:30:18,150 excuse me, another, I've just bought five yoke 479 00:30:18,150 --> 00:30:20,350 of oxen, I'm on the way to try 480 00:30:20,350 --> 00:30:24,430 them out, please excuse me, and still another, 481 00:30:24,750 --> 00:30:28,610 I got married, so I can't come, if 482 00:30:28,610 --> 00:30:33,420 there are young people here, and if you've 483 00:30:33,420 --> 00:30:35,520 come to know the love of the Lord 484 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:39,800 Jesus, please use your life to go out 485 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:45,080 and invite others to the wedding feast, invite 486 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:49,760 others to the marriage of the lamb, this 487 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,560 is your privilege, this is my privilege, all 488 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:57,420 these people in this parable, said they would 489 00:30:57,420 --> 00:31:00,320 come and missed it, and they actually missed 490 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,120 it, the fact is, I don't know if 491 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,120 they'd ever put their hand up in church, 492 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,020 or signed a thing, but the fact is 493 00:31:08,020 --> 00:31:13,440 they missed it, we are to be about 494 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:17,400 the lost, we are waiting for the lost, 495 00:31:17,580 --> 00:31:20,700 in gathering of the harvest, the lost, the 496 00:31:20,700 --> 00:31:30,560 hungry, the hungry know they're hungry, 497 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,720 the blind know they're blind, those who are 498 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,740 naked know they're naked, it's the rest of 499 00:31:37,740 --> 00:31:44,730 us that don't, this is what it says 500 00:31:44,730 --> 00:31:51,210 in revelation, pray, because you may be poor 501 00:31:51,210 --> 00:31:53,690 and naked and blind and not know it, 502 00:31:54,190 --> 00:31:56,930 that's what he said to the lukewarm church, 503 00:31:57,330 --> 00:32:00,050 but if you go for the poor, if 504 00:32:00,050 --> 00:32:02,530 you go for the blind, if you go 505 00:32:02,530 --> 00:32:07,690 for those that nobody else wants, they know, 506 00:32:08,370 --> 00:32:17,870 they know, and it says, that the servant 507 00:32:17,870 --> 00:32:21,890 came back and he reported to his master, 508 00:32:23,830 --> 00:32:25,750 and then the owner of the house became 509 00:32:25,750 --> 00:32:29,330 angry, and he ordered the servant, go out 510 00:32:29,330 --> 00:32:36,290 quickly, go out quickly, it is quickly, when 511 00:32:36,290 --> 00:32:39,110 I first went to wall city, it's a 512 00:32:39,110 --> 00:32:44,600 strange thing, you know I was, I was 513 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,640 happy to be there forever and see nothing, 514 00:32:47,140 --> 00:32:52,280 I really was, I was because I loved 515 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:57,660 it, and I knew the scriptures, that said 516 00:32:57,660 --> 00:32:59,100 whatever you do in the name of the 517 00:32:59,100 --> 00:33:00,740 Lord Jesus is not in vain, I knew 518 00:33:00,740 --> 00:33:02,320 there would be a harvest, I just didn't 519 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,980 know I was gonna see it, so when 520 00:33:04,980 --> 00:33:09,460 the scripture says be patient, there will be 521 00:33:09,460 --> 00:33:13,120 a harvest if you faint not, this is 522 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:17,480 what I discovered, the opposite of patience is 523 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:22,540 not impatience, the opposite of patience is unbelief, 524 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:27,920 you see we are to be impatient, as 525 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,880 well as patient, I can stay forever and 526 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:32,660 see nothing, and I know the Lord will 527 00:33:32,660 --> 00:33:34,560 work, because I've loved with his heart, that's 528 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,480 all we're to do, the results are up 529 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,280 to him, there may be a huge harvest 530 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,920 over there, and you may see nothing over 531 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:45,300 here, but there will be a harvest if 532 00:33:45,300 --> 00:33:48,220 you faint not, just somebody else might reap 533 00:33:48,220 --> 00:33:52,620 it, that's fine, that's fine, I don't need 534 00:33:52,620 --> 00:33:56,540 my name in magazines, I'm not counting up 535 00:33:56,540 --> 00:34:00,340 soul scalps, I'm there to share the heart 536 00:34:00,340 --> 00:34:03,800 of the Lord Jesus, and I will stay 537 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:13,340 until they see it, he says 538 00:34:13,340 --> 00:34:22,969 go quickly 539 00:34:22,969 --> 00:34:27,290 into the streets, the reason I'm impatient at 540 00:34:27,290 --> 00:34:30,590 that time in the world city, was I 541 00:34:30,590 --> 00:34:32,830 said Lord I'm very happy to wait forever, 542 00:34:33,030 --> 00:34:37,969 and see nothing, I couldn't understand when Christians 543 00:34:37,969 --> 00:34:40,010 visited Hong Kong, and they said Jackie I'm 544 00:34:40,010 --> 00:34:41,929 praying about what I should do, and I 545 00:34:41,929 --> 00:34:44,030 thought haven't you seen the world city, would 546 00:34:44,030 --> 00:34:46,050 you not like to be there, in this 547 00:34:46,050 --> 00:34:47,989 dark place, I thought it was most wonderful 548 00:34:47,989 --> 00:34:50,310 place on earth, you see that's why I 549 00:34:50,310 --> 00:34:53,909 always say to people, find the darkest, the 550 00:34:53,909 --> 00:34:58,430 light shows up the best, do you not 551 00:34:58,430 --> 00:35:02,990 want to go into the darkest, it's easy 552 00:35:02,990 --> 00:35:05,790 to see the light when it shines, so 553 00:35:05,790 --> 00:35:08,990 I was happy to stay there forever, I 554 00:35:08,990 --> 00:35:14,460 also was saying to the Lord, if you 555 00:35:14,460 --> 00:35:18,540 don't touch these people, they'll die before they've 556 00:35:18,540 --> 00:35:23,520 lived, a hundred at a time in a 557 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,600 heroin den, doing what's called chasing the dragon, 558 00:35:27,260 --> 00:35:29,840 and I watched the girls that sat with 559 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,760 them, the little girls who'd sold their lives, 560 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,440 and thought they loved the man, until he 561 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,220 sold them and used them, and lived off 562 00:35:39,220 --> 00:35:43,040 them, the little girl holding up the man, 563 00:35:43,100 --> 00:35:45,600 so he could take his drugs in the 564 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,400 den, and then in the morning the bodies 565 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,960 were piled up, by the only toilet for 566 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:59,320 a hundred thousand people, Lord, if you do 567 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,780 not quickly do, what you said you would 568 00:36:02,780 --> 00:36:08,000 do, they'll die, and please dear Jesus, it's 569 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,040 worth my whole life, and I really believe 570 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,200 this, if you'd use me to save just 571 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:14,820 one, and by the way I don't need 572 00:36:14,820 --> 00:36:19,480 to know who, just let me be part 573 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:23,580 of what you're doing, and so in this 574 00:36:23,580 --> 00:36:29,820 story he says, go out quickly into the 575 00:36:29,820 --> 00:36:32,740 streets and alleys of the town, bring in 576 00:36:32,740 --> 00:36:35,160 the poor, the crippled, the blind and the 577 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:39,280 lame, sir, the servant said what you ordered 578 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:44,790 has been done, but there's still room, there 579 00:36:44,790 --> 00:36:48,550 is still room, there is still room, quickly, 580 00:36:48,750 --> 00:36:51,730 quickly, quickly people, there is still room, and 581 00:36:51,730 --> 00:36:59,000 he says my house must be full, my 582 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:03,500 house must be full, go out to the 583 00:37:03,500 --> 00:37:07,560 roads and country lanes, compel them he says, 584 00:37:08,460 --> 00:37:12,520 compel, that's what the scripture says, Christ's love 585 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:16,220 compels us, because we are convinced that one 586 00:37:16,220 --> 00:37:20,620 died for all, and therefore all died, that 587 00:37:20,620 --> 00:37:24,360 those who live should no longer live for 588 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,980 themselves, but for him who died for them 589 00:37:26,980 --> 00:37:29,740 and rose again, the compelling love of Jesus 590 00:37:29,740 --> 00:37:32,460 Christ, I prayed for the power of the 591 00:37:32,460 --> 00:37:37,010 Holy Spirit, and once I began to pray 592 00:37:37,010 --> 00:37:39,350 in tongues half an hour a day, I 593 00:37:39,350 --> 00:37:43,070 saw miracles happen, now that's the cheating sort 594 00:37:43,070 --> 00:37:47,710 of quick, quick, quick, quick, everybody wants the 595 00:37:47,710 --> 00:37:49,990 quick way, okay, all I have to do 596 00:37:49,990 --> 00:37:51,290 is get the power of the Holy Spirit, 597 00:37:51,290 --> 00:37:53,490 pray in tongues and it'll work, well not 598 00:37:53,490 --> 00:38:00,770 really, you see sharing, sharing your bread, sharing 599 00:38:00,770 --> 00:38:04,710 your house, sharing your time, actually all it 600 00:38:04,710 --> 00:38:07,750 is is sharing his heart, this is what 601 00:38:07,750 --> 00:38:10,030 we're supposed to do, anyway I call it 602 00:38:10,030 --> 00:38:14,950 ordinary gospel, after four years, the second gang 603 00:38:14,950 --> 00:38:20,870 leader, his elder brother was the big one, 604 00:38:21,630 --> 00:38:24,230 he had about 22,000 in his gang, 605 00:38:25,150 --> 00:38:28,170 he said we've watched you, and he said 606 00:38:28,170 --> 00:38:31,090 many missionaries come and they stand on platforms, 607 00:38:31,530 --> 00:38:35,170 and they fly away again, they have guitars, 608 00:38:35,690 --> 00:38:41,370 they take photographs of us, what does that 609 00:38:41,370 --> 00:38:46,410 mean to us, nothing, they still have their 610 00:38:46,410 --> 00:38:48,870 air conditioning and their pictures, and they raise 611 00:38:48,870 --> 00:38:52,830 money for us unfortunate people, and we're still 612 00:38:52,830 --> 00:38:57,670 here, when you were here four years, we 613 00:38:57,670 --> 00:39:01,710 thought maybe you meant what you said, I 614 00:39:01,710 --> 00:39:07,110 thought wow, they're watching, he said we don't 615 00:39:07,110 --> 00:39:10,470 care if you're offering us judo or ping 616 00:39:10,470 --> 00:39:13,630 pong, we don't mind if it's noodles or 617 00:39:13,630 --> 00:39:16,750 hymn singing, what we want to know is, 618 00:39:17,330 --> 00:39:20,330 are you anything to do with us, do 619 00:39:20,330 --> 00:39:22,730 you care about us, when I prayed for 620 00:39:22,730 --> 00:39:24,230 the power of the Holy Spirit, it was 621 00:39:24,230 --> 00:39:29,690 on the day that my little room had 622 00:39:29,690 --> 00:39:33,630 been broken up, I'd started a youth club 623 00:39:33,630 --> 00:39:38,310 in the wall city, and I got a 624 00:39:38,310 --> 00:39:42,070 phone call, I was living outside at about 625 00:39:42,070 --> 00:39:44,130 four in the morning, and they said they've 626 00:39:44,130 --> 00:39:48,630 thrown sewage all over the walls, they've broken 627 00:39:48,630 --> 00:39:50,230 the window, it's a very small little room, 628 00:39:51,790 --> 00:39:53,810 and this is where we used to play 629 00:39:53,810 --> 00:39:56,930 ping pong and darts, and then I'd take 630 00:39:56,930 --> 00:40:01,530 them out for picnics and things, and when 631 00:40:01,530 --> 00:40:04,050 I got down there, I found that it 632 00:40:04,050 --> 00:40:09,450 had been smashed up by my friends, I 633 00:40:09,450 --> 00:40:12,410 don't know why, it just, so I thought 634 00:40:12,410 --> 00:40:16,090 well I can go back to Britain, we 635 00:40:16,090 --> 00:40:22,750 have civilized Bible studies there, I don't have 636 00:40:22,750 --> 00:40:26,930 to play ping pong with people who don't 637 00:40:26,930 --> 00:40:30,130 want me, and that was when this stranger 638 00:40:30,130 --> 00:40:35,330 came to the door, and he leaned against 639 00:40:35,330 --> 00:40:37,570 the door, and he said have you got 640 00:40:37,570 --> 00:40:42,370 any problems, and I said no I'm fine 641 00:40:42,370 --> 00:40:46,530 thank you, and I'd spent the day sweeping 642 00:40:46,530 --> 00:40:51,330 up the rubbish and the sewage, and he 643 00:40:51,330 --> 00:40:53,650 said if you've got any problems, you just 644 00:40:53,650 --> 00:40:56,070 let me know, and I said who are 645 00:40:56,070 --> 00:40:59,370 you, and he said well Koko, Koko is 646 00:40:59,370 --> 00:41:01,930 the name of the big gang leader, he 647 00:41:01,930 --> 00:41:04,970 has sent me, and I had never met 648 00:41:04,970 --> 00:41:07,110 Koko, but I used to send him messages, 649 00:41:07,730 --> 00:41:11,750 like Jesus loves you, so I wasn't sure 650 00:41:11,750 --> 00:41:13,870 what this was, and he said Koko says 651 00:41:13,870 --> 00:41:17,010 if anybody touches you, or touches this place, 652 00:41:17,370 --> 00:41:20,170 we're going to do them, and I said 653 00:41:20,170 --> 00:41:25,710 thank you, that's very kind of you, could 654 00:41:25,710 --> 00:41:27,510 you please go back to Koko and say 655 00:41:27,510 --> 00:41:30,890 I refuse his offer, because Jesus is looking 656 00:41:30,890 --> 00:41:35,790 after me, now his job this man, his 657 00:41:35,790 --> 00:41:37,830 job in the gang was to fix fights, 658 00:41:37,970 --> 00:41:40,250 and decide whether it was bottles or choppers, 659 00:41:41,230 --> 00:41:44,130 and or knives or whatever, so he knew 660 00:41:44,130 --> 00:41:49,330 who controlled the streets, and I anyway even 661 00:41:49,330 --> 00:41:52,810 though I refused protection I got it, every 662 00:41:52,810 --> 00:41:54,770 time I came in or out he followed 663 00:41:54,770 --> 00:41:57,330 me, he was under orders from Koko, so 664 00:41:57,330 --> 00:42:00,590 I told him about Jesus, and which he 665 00:42:00,590 --> 00:42:04,900 didn't want to hear, but then he told 666 00:42:04,900 --> 00:42:07,140 me about his friend, who was a drug 667 00:42:07,140 --> 00:42:11,200 addict, of course it was him, and could 668 00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:12,900 I find a place for his friend, and 669 00:42:12,900 --> 00:42:14,440 I said oh it's really easy to get 670 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,880 off drugs, we'll just lock him up in 671 00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,780 a room, and if he lives after three 672 00:42:19,780 --> 00:42:25,980 days he'll be off drugs, the problem is 673 00:42:25,980 --> 00:42:27,640 when you open the door, his feet will 674 00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,960 walk back, I only know one man who 675 00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,700 can settle a man's heart, and it's Jesus, 676 00:42:34,020 --> 00:42:36,060 because this is a problem of the heart, 677 00:42:37,140 --> 00:42:39,840 so after a few weeks I said to 678 00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:44,220 him, do you want to come in, he'd 679 00:42:44,220 --> 00:42:45,960 come into my little room, he'd never come 680 00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,280 in, I used to have Christian meetings in 681 00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,560 there, that was me and the father and 682 00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:55,360 the son, and the Holy Spirit, and no 683 00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,860 nobody ever, nobody else ever came in, and 684 00:42:58,860 --> 00:43:01,700 so he said okay, and he came in, 685 00:43:02,100 --> 00:43:04,700 and he started to sing the only song 686 00:43:04,700 --> 00:43:07,920 he knew, which he'd heard me singing, which 687 00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:09,600 is a very good one for an opium 688 00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:12,420 addict, it goes give me oil in my 689 00:43:12,420 --> 00:43:16,300 lamp to keep me burning, so he started 690 00:43:16,300 --> 00:43:18,960 to sing that, and then he started to 691 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,720 pray, asking Jesus to help him, the Holy 692 00:43:21,720 --> 00:43:24,680 Spirit fell on him, he prayed in tongues 693 00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:26,360 for half an hour, and he was off 694 00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:32,110 drugs, and I thought oh good, so I 695 00:43:32,110 --> 00:43:35,970 always expected something like that, I mean of 696 00:43:35,970 --> 00:43:41,530 course I did, and so I said goodbye, 697 00:43:41,870 --> 00:43:43,810 see you at the Sunday meeting, there's going 698 00:43:43,810 --> 00:43:48,250 to be five of us now, and at 699 00:43:48,250 --> 00:43:50,090 the Sunday meeting he came, and he said 700 00:43:50,090 --> 00:43:51,790 I was in the opium den the other 701 00:43:51,790 --> 00:43:54,470 night, he said they offered me free opium, 702 00:43:55,250 --> 00:43:57,570 and I really wanted to take it, but 703 00:43:57,570 --> 00:43:59,230 then I remembered, oh wait a minute, I 704 00:43:59,230 --> 00:44:01,990 believe in Jesus now, so I knelt on 705 00:44:01,990 --> 00:44:05,270 the platform, which is filthy, it's full of 706 00:44:05,270 --> 00:44:09,510 everything that comes out of a man's openings, 707 00:44:09,910 --> 00:44:13,390 everything, and he said I sang to them, 708 00:44:13,730 --> 00:44:15,290 give me oil in my lamp to keep 709 00:44:15,290 --> 00:44:17,930 me burning, praise God, and I said no, 710 00:44:18,030 --> 00:44:20,590 this is not praise God, you can't go 711 00:44:20,590 --> 00:44:23,630 into opium den, and pray for strength not 712 00:44:23,630 --> 00:44:27,270 to take opium, he said I live there, 713 00:44:32,390 --> 00:44:35,690 I'd just done the whole James thing, be 714 00:44:35,690 --> 00:44:38,130 fed, be clothed, be warmed, go your way, 715 00:44:38,710 --> 00:44:40,450 and he had no way to go, no 716 00:44:40,450 --> 00:44:43,350 home to go, I tried to find him 717 00:44:43,350 --> 00:44:45,870 a place to go, this is opium den, 718 00:44:45,910 --> 00:44:47,650 not a good place to start a new 719 00:44:47,650 --> 00:44:52,190 life, and then finally I took him into 720 00:44:52,190 --> 00:44:54,370 my home, and then all his friends knocked 721 00:44:54,370 --> 00:44:57,570 on the door, said okay if Jesus can 722 00:44:57,570 --> 00:45:01,270 change him, I'll believe in Jesus, and I'll 723 00:45:01,270 --> 00:45:06,250 live in your house, they thought it went 724 00:45:06,250 --> 00:45:10,480 together, and I do think it does, and 725 00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:13,080 that's how hundreds and hundreds came into the 726 00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:18,860 kingdom, that's why we end up sleepless, I 727 00:45:18,860 --> 00:45:20,940 used to wear my clothes for tomorrow the 728 00:45:20,940 --> 00:45:23,960 night before, because I didn't know if it 729 00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:26,260 would be police, or who at the door, 730 00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:29,340 there were always so many, there were women, 731 00:45:30,300 --> 00:45:33,820 but you know the most wonderful thing about 732 00:45:33,820 --> 00:45:38,060 this whole story is that those who've come 733 00:45:38,060 --> 00:45:43,300 in to the feast, Christ's love has compelled 734 00:45:43,300 --> 00:45:46,620 them, those are the ones who go out 735 00:45:46,620 --> 00:45:51,100 to share, and we're in several different countries 736 00:45:51,100 --> 00:45:58,580 now, we've got people who are helping girls 737 00:45:58,580 --> 00:46:03,800 who've been sold into slavery, in the Philippines, 738 00:46:04,500 --> 00:46:08,180 when the houses have been all blown down 739 00:46:08,180 --> 00:46:10,740 by the typhoon, and by the earthquake, and 740 00:46:10,740 --> 00:46:13,000 burnt by the fire, we've had a group 741 00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,400 there who've been living where they live on 742 00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:18,580 the graves, they actually built their houses on 743 00:46:18,580 --> 00:46:23,560 the graves, for many years, and dozens and 744 00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:25,860 dozens and hundreds have come to know the 745 00:46:25,860 --> 00:46:28,040 Lord, we don't just have meetings, we share 746 00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:30,440 our homes with them, we take them into 747 00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:36,620 our homes, our people are always tired, but 748 00:46:36,620 --> 00:46:40,060 it's good, it's a good way to be 749 00:46:40,060 --> 00:46:42,880 tired, because they're spending the heart of the 750 00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:45,420 Lord Jesus, and one of the girls who 751 00:46:45,420 --> 00:46:51,940 was rescued from slavery, it's very, the easiest 752 00:46:51,940 --> 00:46:54,540 bit is to get them out of the 753 00:46:54,540 --> 00:46:58,080 brothel, the hardest bit is then to look 754 00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:01,900 after them, because it needs people who are 755 00:47:01,900 --> 00:47:04,040 going to spend their heart, and spend their 756 00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:06,520 heart, and it's every day, it's every day, 757 00:47:06,740 --> 00:47:10,300 it's every day, our helpers live with our 758 00:47:10,300 --> 00:47:13,860 people, and this little girl went with one 759 00:47:13,860 --> 00:47:18,220 of our teams during a typhoon, after the 760 00:47:18,220 --> 00:47:21,760 earthquake, we went to make houses, we were 761 00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,400 building houses in the Philippines, one day houses, 762 00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:26,840 now we've got to the two day house 763 00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:29,140 now, but the one day house was emergency, 764 00:47:29,380 --> 00:47:31,940 so we took chainsaws, and water, and prayed 765 00:47:31,940 --> 00:47:34,500 for the sick, and thousands of people came 766 00:47:34,500 --> 00:47:37,020 to listen to scripture, because there were a 767 00:47:37,020 --> 00:47:41,340 million displaced people, with no electricity, so we've 768 00:47:41,340 --> 00:47:44,020 got machines that play scripture, and they all 769 00:47:44,020 --> 00:47:46,180 would gather at night, and then they prayed 770 00:47:46,180 --> 00:47:48,380 for them, and the girl who'd been rescued 771 00:47:48,380 --> 00:47:53,060 from slavery, prayed for an old lady, she 772 00:47:53,060 --> 00:47:55,540 prayed for her leg actually, but when she 773 00:47:55,540 --> 00:47:59,480 prayed for her leg, her blind eye saw. 774 00:48:02,350 --> 00:48:07,550 God is pleased to use the foolish, and 775 00:48:07,550 --> 00:48:11,390 the weak, we are very weak people, and 776 00:48:11,390 --> 00:48:13,970 I want to ask you to stand, because 777 00:48:13,970 --> 00:48:17,770 I want to encourage you, to bring the 778 00:48:17,770 --> 00:48:19,870 kingdom of God, you may not have to 779 00:48:19,870 --> 00:48:23,950 go to gangsters, I, the other night, I 780 00:48:23,950 --> 00:48:27,390 had a nightmare, they told me that this 781 00:48:27,390 --> 00:48:31,070 happens in Jerusalem, it was the enemy, you 782 00:48:31,070 --> 00:48:32,910 know what the enemy was doing, and I 783 00:48:32,910 --> 00:48:38,330 ended up sobbing, because somebody was going to 784 00:48:38,330 --> 00:48:42,190 steal my inheritance, and I know my inheritance 785 00:48:42,190 --> 00:48:47,050 is the lost, always in these dreams, I 786 00:48:47,050 --> 00:48:50,410 dream it frequently, about once a month, I 787 00:48:50,410 --> 00:48:52,250 dream of walled city, it's gone by the 788 00:48:52,250 --> 00:48:56,930 way, they took it down, it looks like 789 00:48:56,930 --> 00:49:01,230 the city of God now, it really does, 790 00:49:01,290 --> 00:49:03,650 it's the most beautiful part, but in my 791 00:49:03,650 --> 00:49:08,710 dream, always when I'm looking for a room, 792 00:49:09,170 --> 00:49:11,330 I'm always looking for a room, one more, 793 00:49:11,630 --> 00:49:14,830 one more, one more to rent, to live 794 00:49:14,830 --> 00:49:17,370 in, to send a team, to put the 795 00:49:17,370 --> 00:49:19,450 poor in, one more room, one more room, 796 00:49:19,570 --> 00:49:22,750 and in my dream, a rich Christian group 797 00:49:22,750 --> 00:49:26,650 gets there first, you see, none of our 798 00:49:26,650 --> 00:49:31,650 people are paid, but it's wonderful, I mean, 799 00:49:31,770 --> 00:49:34,490 God provides for us, we just share everything 800 00:49:34,490 --> 00:49:36,950 together, that's why, because we have no budget, 801 00:49:38,430 --> 00:49:41,230 we can do lots more, because we're not 802 00:49:41,230 --> 00:49:44,090 constrained by the budget, that's why we could 803 00:49:44,090 --> 00:49:49,770 look after 20,000 Vietnamese refugees, because people 804 00:49:49,770 --> 00:49:52,870 with a budget, of course, couldn't, but as 805 00:49:52,870 --> 00:49:56,950 we have no budget, we could, this is 806 00:49:56,950 --> 00:49:59,550 how it is for us, there's always room 807 00:49:59,550 --> 00:50:01,790 for one more, but in the dream, the 808 00:50:01,790 --> 00:50:04,270 rich Christians get it, and I say, oh 809 00:50:04,270 --> 00:50:06,090 God, oh God, oh God, and I wake 810 00:50:06,090 --> 00:50:07,730 up and I think, no, that's not true, 811 00:50:10,830 --> 00:50:14,950 that's yours, it's mine, God isn't giving it 812 00:50:14,950 --> 00:50:18,790 to someone else, because the reason that I 813 00:50:18,790 --> 00:50:21,770 feel so bad in my dream, is that 814 00:50:21,770 --> 00:50:29,400 I always think, and right now, I'm just 815 00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:33,760 asking that you will, as Lauren Cunningham said, 816 00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:39,800 go out, and compel people to come in, 817 00:50:39,980 --> 00:50:44,240 just your neighbor, just the one, my heart 818 00:50:44,240 --> 00:50:47,780 is terribly small, you know, I can't understand 819 00:50:47,780 --> 00:50:51,760 cities, though the whole walled city changed, but 820 00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:53,760 it was just one man by one man, 821 00:50:54,260 --> 00:50:58,060 one woman by one woman, one old prostitute, 822 00:50:59,500 --> 00:51:02,340 let me pray for you, in Jesus name, 823 00:51:04,660 --> 00:51:07,840 I bless you, to be part of the 824 00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:12,660 last in gathering, the last, so we can 825 00:51:12,660 --> 00:51:16,300 celebrate the feast of tabernacles, as the last 826 00:51:16,300 --> 00:51:21,630 in gathering of souls into the kingdom, that 827 00:51:21,630 --> 00:51:24,930 the Lord Jesus might come back, I bless 828 00:51:24,930 --> 00:51:27,690 you to go out, and with Christ's love 829 00:51:27,690 --> 00:51:31,390 to compel them, the poor, and the lamed, 830 00:51:31,550 --> 00:51:36,440 and the crippled, and the blind, if you 831 00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:38,900 will do this, I tell you the rich 832 00:51:38,900 --> 00:51:41,500 will come in by themselves, they're so jealous, 833 00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:45,180 that's what Paul said, I'll preach to the 834 00:51:45,180 --> 00:51:51,540 Gentiles, that they, the people of Israel, may 835 00:51:51,540 --> 00:51:56,460 somehow be aroused to envy, and perhaps some 836 00:51:56,460 --> 00:51:57,960 of them will be saved, this is how 837 00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:00,180 it works, if you go for the poor, 838 00:52:00,260 --> 00:52:02,680 the rich come in, because they see that 839 00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:05,260 the poor have become rich, and they want 840 00:52:05,260 --> 00:52:37,240 what they have, I'm 841 00:52:37,240 --> 00:52:40,040 sitting in the place where Jesus walked, that 842 00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:52,880 Bible is alive, it's alive, all 843 00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:55,240 the nations are here, we want to tell 844 00:52:55,240 --> 00:52:57,660 Israel you are not alone, we are starting 845 00:52:57,660 --> 00:53:00,180 with you, this is a process of heaven, 846 00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:15,380 come up to Jerusalem, God 847 00:53:15,380 --> 00:53:19,100 has given me such a revelation of Israel, 848 00:53:19,540 --> 00:53:21,660 I don't think I'll ever look at the 849 00:53:21,660 --> 00:53:22,900 Bible the same way, I don't think I'll 850 00:53:22,900 --> 00:53:25,220 ever preach the same way, there is a 851 00:53:25,220 --> 00:53:28,220 great anointing here, I've met people from all 852 00:53:28,220 --> 00:53:31,080 over the world, that have a desire to 853 00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:37,920 see God's kingdom be manifested, listening to stories 854 00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:40,820 and testimonies from Israeli pastors, get to know 855 00:53:40,820 --> 00:53:42,280 them, and to know what God is doing 856 00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:47,700 in this holy land, I've seen things that 857 00:53:47,700 --> 00:53:49,700 I've only read about, and I am so 858 00:53:49,700 --> 00:53:51,760 grateful for this opportunity, I thought I knew 859 00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:53,980 something then, but I've learned so much more 860 00:53:53,980 --> 00:53:55,740 now, it's just a blessing to be here, 861 00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:58,900 it has been very good discovering our roots 862 00:53:58,900 --> 00:54:01,220 as Christians, and we are taking this to 863 00:54:01,220 --> 00:54:03,540 our church, we are going to teach them 864 00:54:03,540 --> 00:54:16,140 about Israel, Envision 865 00:54:16,140 --> 00:54:19,520 is enriching, it brings it to life, a 866 00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:23,200 blessing, it is fantastic, it is life changing, 867 00:54:28,690 --> 00:54:31,610 you have to go, it will take your 868 00:54:31,610 --> 00:54:34,810 life with Christ to a new level, I'll 869 00:54:34,810 --> 00:54:37,650 never be the same, come here and see, 870 00:54:37,970 --> 00:54:40,470 and experience what Yeshua is doing. 871 00:55:53,630 --> 00:55:58,010 Israel, it is the heart of the Middle 872 00:55:58,010 --> 00:56:02,780 East, the most important country in all of 873 00:56:02,780 --> 00:56:09,700 human history, and the single most influential place 874 00:56:09,700 --> 00:56:12,800 that's impacted your life, it was the home 875 00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:15,680 of the prophets, the location that once held 876 00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:18,580 the holy of holies, and the birthplace of 877 00:56:18,580 --> 00:56:22,540 the gospels, the connection between this land and 878 00:56:22,540 --> 00:56:25,660 your heart is undeniable, but you can also 879 00:56:25,660 --> 00:56:28,000 be a blessing to this nation by partnering 880 00:56:28,000 -->

Israel, biblical prophecy 883 00:56:36,900 --> 00:56:40,100 is being fulfilled before our eyes, the Jewish 884 00:56:40,100 --> 00:56:42,360 people are returning to their homeland from the 885 00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:44,800 four corners of the earth, and the light 886 00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:48,260 has returned to the land itself, and the 887 00:56:48,260 --> 00:56:50,320 Holy Spirit has been
