No Compromise - Part 1 — George Verwer

It's a real challenge to be here and to be able to share Some of the tremendous things that God's doing around the globe. It's the Lord who said that my idea. Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every person.

The Global Harvest and the Need for Workers

That is happening. More people are coming to Christ today in the world than ever before in history. I Bizarre 20 of the nation have come to Christ. Huge churches. They're trying to send out 10 ,000 missionaries.

It's not that big a country. I think they've got 5 ,000 on the road. I spoke at a student convention for five days. Serious stuff. 1 ,500 made a commitment to world mission. Longer term world mission.

This past Christmas. I was back in the States. Do I live in London, England? I in fact was born here in New Jersey. Interesting state outside, New York City. Known for the rudest people in America my home state.

I was among the. Tell you a little later what happened to me, but I was back in the United States this Christmas. 19 ,000 students came for five-day intensive missions come missions come. 19 ,000. 9 ,000 signed on the dotted line said they're willing to go.

200 ,000 are already out there across the globe. But as we've seen on that video. One of my prayers is that that musician who I believe has got the mantle of Keith Keith green on and Bill Drake. Someday may come to New Zealand.

He's actually written 250 songs. We just saw one of them about the 1040 window but God is just doing amazing things among young people. A couple of weeks ago I was ministering to 400 leaders all leaders from the universities in Great Britain.

All going back to a specific Operation Jerusalem kind of campaign. With loaded with literature on their own University campus. Cambridge Oxford Durham, Newcastle. Students in Britain are on the move. We're living in exciting days.

Argentina. I was down there a couple of years ago. Well less than two years ago. I was on an airplane. Here's Argentina down here and see it better on my on my globe Argentina they all speak Spanish. That's the only other language.

I know. Where is it? My water better than filling it on somebody's head. Sorry, Argentina. Give me a coke this time, please. God is working in Argentina. Huge churches have sprung up in the last five years.

Anyway, I was on this airplane and God gave me this vision is that we could see 200 ,000 new workers. We don't expect them all to be on the field by the year 2000. But we'd like to see them in some kind of training even if it was operation, Jerusalem.

If you think 200 ,000 workers, we're not talking about OM or any one group here. We're talking about the whole body of Christ. If you think 200 ,000 is too many just pick up that little tape and. So you'll realize in the world today of six billion people 200 ,000 as many workers are going to heaven many are going home.

You'll realize wow, she did it. See if you know how to open it. Wonderful just put it in the glass. I'll try not to spill. I'll go over here. That's only if my voice starts getting really wild. Now at the same time.

And we are battling the clock. I'm sure tonight some of you are probably tired nothing like that kind of music to get you. Get you going. I go by the way. I'm one of the main speakers at the biggest Christian Rock Festival in the world with res band.

You know how many fans we have there? 125 bands. So if you're ever in Chicago just pop on down to the cornerstone music festival. You'll probably find me in one of the tents with my famous seminar on sex and.

Unfortunately, I don't have a band. But I wear my little t-shirt hard rock for hard heads and that always seems to get quite a response. That's a positive side of the picture. The negative side is that 90 of the missionaries are working.

Where the church already exists 90 Places like Fiji, you know great great holiday place and Tonga just Talking about these islands. I'm not saying we don't need missionaries to those places and Kiwis have been great for Papua New Guinea and Tonga and all those people are now coming down here and It's exciting.

It's a tiny tiny tiny little part of God's harvest. I'm not gonna be talking about this a lot tonight. But in the land of India where my wife and I live for a number of years. Perhaps the number one country on my heart in the land of India.

I was just on the phone with them a lot from your parking lot out here on my mobile phone. There are 900 million people. Every couple of months. We have another New Zealand in population every couple of months and Hundreds of millions have not yet had the gospel.

The Indian church is large, but they do in India what we do in the rest of the world. They stick to their own state. Telugu stay in Telugu land. Tamil people stay in Tamil Nadu. That's where there's a lot of Christians and the masses of North India.

Have not received the gospel. Quite a few have now had a little bit. They might have had a Jesus film and seen it. Got a gospel track. But to see churches planted which is the object of the Great Commission to see people saved in churches planted among Orthodox Hindus and Muslims it takes individual missionaries willing to live Incarnationally among the people and to see them come to Jesus and the door is open in India.

For people from New Zealand after I lived in Bombay for a while here. I lived in Kaplan to up in Nepal. Praise God the church is finally in the last 10 years really growing in Nepal. Thousands of Nepalese have come to Christ, but north of Nepal you have the land of Tibet.

Your church doesn't exist in Tibet. I'm gonna share more about this tomorrow and maybe on Monday morning. But I praise God for the privilege of being here. And I praise God for the opportunity to share about some of these countries that have burned on my heart.

For about 40 years. This is the 40th anniversary of Operation Mobilization and just this summer been in Mexico. I speak Spanish and we were celebrating 40 years since three of us as teenagers had our little Operation Jerusalem only we headed for Mexico and worked with Mexicans and learned the language and and worked in the garbage tip and the Rubbish tip and we saw things.

Especially poverty we had never even dreamed hardly existed in this world and our lives were radically changed. And a movement was born that later exploded in Europe and became known as operation mobilization.

Mobilizing Christians for World Mission

We hope that everybody is going to go from this weekend a global World-class Christian that doesn't mean you have to go. Though I believe God is putting the vision to go on many hearts. I've just come from the OJ event in Christ Church just before I left my last meeting there I gave a strong message about the need to go for at least a couple of years.

One false cult has 50 ,000 in a two-year program. They see tens of thousands reach for those two-year missionaries. They then go back take up their careers many of them become millionaires and they finance another bigger truck.

And so there's always 40 or 50 ,000 on the field at any one time. It's exciting. I'm excited about being here in New Zealand. I believe you're one of the greatest countries in the world. You're one of the highest sending per capita missionary countries in the world.

You're way ahead of the United States. You make them look like they're sleep going downhill on a rusty skateboard. Per capita because they got 260 million there. And I just know God wants to send more about 50 raise their hand in Christ Church.

They're willing to go for two years. They're gonna serious seriously start pursuing that. I So appreciated the gift you very generous people New Zealand people wherever I go. They give me gifts and a guy gave me this hat.

He was you. He didn't know. I love hats. I'm one of the few persons in the whole United States ever preached with my hat. It's considered, you know, it's not reverence. I actually like to turn it around but that might offend but Let me tell you a story.

I took the missions conference at Wheaton College. This is where Billy Graham studied pretty conservative place. The students are beginning to loosen up, you know, a little better music beginning to loosen up.

So some of the students wear their hats in Chapel Wheaton College Chapel, huh? So they got a new president came up there, you know a couple years ago you know suit and tie and real organized and He gave a message of why they should not wear their hats in Chapel.

How do you think this generation? You know handle that one. I'll tell you how they handle that Wheaton College the next Chapel 1 ,000 paint hats free for everybody. It was great and Praise God that dear president back down.

It's always great to see a college president back down and We saw the work the Lord worked there and many hundreds made commitments to world missions. I'd like to just pray together with you and then Share these thoughts that are on my heart.

Praying for Laborers in the Harvest

Let's pray Lord you have told us to pray that you would send forth workers into the harvest and we want to pray that right now. We don't believe Oh God, we're here by accident tonight and we're believing and praying on the basis of Matthew 9 that you would send forth workers into the harvest field and Especially Oh God the forgotten places the neglected places.

Those places like Libya and Saudi Arabia and Morocco and Algeria those places like Tibet and as Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan and Tajikistan those places like Bangladesh and Pakistan and Afghanistan in Iraq and Iran in Turkey and Bosnia we're believing that Kiwis are going to be headed out to the airport in the next couple of years.

We believe some of them are going to get so spirit-filled. They'll even fly there without an airplane. But Oh God, we know that you are doing something new and something great in this country and we're excited about it and we're believing you for the greatest army of missionaries ever to go out into the harvest field and Help finish the task in obedience to you Lord Jesus Christ through whom we pray.

Amen. Amen. There's many many scriptures on my heart tonight one of them I just mentioned in my prayer. It's found in Matthew 9 where Jesus said you can look it up if you have your Bible. Thirty-fifth verse of chapter 9 we find Jesus Christ going into all the towns and villages.

The next verse says verse 36. He was moved with compassion. God is concerned about our motivation. One of the reasons I'm here is because this is not just another talk session. Because OJ is not just in the talk.

OJ is in to walk and you're going to be walking along the beaches this Summer your summer our winter will be dreaming about being with you. I live in London in a great climate. And You're going to be walking through campsites you're going to be talking to people about Jesus.

One of the reasons I was a 17 year old new baby Christian rebel is because to me so much was just a lot of talk. Not only was it just a lot of talk what I saw as a young convert it seemed to be also a lot of hypocrisy.

People sitting around talking about other people going to hell and not doing anything about it beating each other on the head with different translations of the Bible. Arguing over every possible thing you could ever imagine from whether you should wear a tie in church to whether Christians can have lipstick or long Hair or all this kind of stuff Christians were fighting about and I tell you as a baby Christian.

I got really sick. I got really sick. And I became a rebel and I became a radical and I decided that I wanted to blow up churches. But as I read the scriptures, I got the first Corinthians 13 and got hit with this love business.

That's a hard one for a guy like me a lot of hatred a lot of anger a lot of hostility way too much energy. Appreciate prayer for my wife 37 years. She looked at me years ago. And she said looking at you makes me feel really tired.

I was taught in a business course delegation. So I delegated Tiredness to my wife and I took energy. I don't think that was a very fair move. How many of you have ever thought by the way about marriage and you've given a no Thought well, it's good.

You're fairly normal. Are there any married people here any married people here? Whoa more than I expected. Yeah, I thought a lot of your marriage sort of had that little sort of washed out. Look. Praise God for marriage and let me just say this.

I believe the training you are giving for world mission is Just as important for marriage. In fact, my testimony is and I helped start a mission that has trained 90 ,000 people. That has given the gospel to 900 million people face to face.

That has these two shifts that has 2 ,700 staff around the globe right now three or four thousand extras different times of the year and OJ type Events and I will tell you my biggest challenge was not founding and leading this movement that I still leave.

My biggest challenge was being the kind of father God wanted me to be the kind of husband God wanted me to be. That was a bigger challenge than everything else put together. I May get back to that on some other occasion.

Prayer, the Holy Spirit, and the Call to Mission

Jesus said after verse 35 and 36 where we see him move with compassion. The harvest is plenteous the workers are few. Then he says pray the Lord of the harvest. Then he'll send forth workers into the harvest.

There's no reason why every Christian can't get at least involved in that level. You don't have to go to the airport for that. You don't have to raise support or learn a language. Just Start praying. Prayer is God's great weapon in Acts 13 and there's a tape about acts 13.

You can pick up for any donation. You want to leave even a dollar? We go to that chapter in the book of Acts chapter 13 with five people are worshiping God and praying. And what happens the Holy Spirit.

Speak. Do you believe the Holy Spirit can speak here this weekend? I certainly do. I don't even want to be here if he doesn't do some speaking. The Holy Spirit spoke. And what happened the Holy Spirit said you Paul and Barnabas are gonna go imagine that.

That's like having a prayer meeting in the number one church in New Zealand and the senior pastor and the number two pastor. The Holy Spirit says you're out of here. You're out of here and as you go, it's not going to be all blessing prosperity and the new car.

It's gonna be suffering. Look at Hebrews chapter 11. Look at 1st Corinthians 4. Look at 2nd Corinthians 6. I tell you Paul launched out into a life of hardship and suffering and difficulty and shook the known world of that day.

And I believe tonight God is looking. God is looking for men. God is looking for women who will listen to the Holy Spirit. A Dear old lady near my high school when I was a young kid. Listen to the Holy Spirit and put my name on her.

Hitler's Holy Ghost Hitler. She not only prayed that I would be a Christian. She prayed that I would become a missionary. You imagine she didn't even discuss this with me. I told you New Jersey's rude.

It's a bit like Australia. She didn't even discuss this with me and She then sent me a gospel of John through the post and urged me to read it. And let me just give you a little bit of my Religious pedigree.

My grandfather from the Netherlands that's over here near my heart was a drunk an atheist. He was an atheist didn't even believe in God. My other grandfather was Scottish Irish and English. But you combine it's basically toxic.

He was an alcoholic. He was a drunk. I only met him three times in my life. And somehow some of those genes, you know, I don't understand all that. They were flowing through my life and at 16. I Was not only on the highway to hell.

I was making it broader. My big thing just being real honest was women not just interested in women. 32 girlfriends starting age 5. I worship women. Had a big picture of Marilyn Monroe on the bottom my bed and I tell you did that give me some very amazing vibrations.

No wonder this lady put me on her prayer list. But my passion for money was almost equal to my passion for women and so at about age 7 or 8 I learned how to finagle and make money. By 16 I own throw it three businesses outside, New York City at 300 people working for me selling firefighting equipment part-time.

And my dream was to lay on the New Jersey Beach and just put my feet up with my girlfriend and have other suckers work for me around America the American capitalist and this lady kept praying. Trouble with the police trouble with the headmaster epic at the school.

Put on the blacklist though. I had fairly good grades. I was put on the blacklist for bad conduct so that I couldn't get this particular award connected with the great and then something else happened a Character named Billy Graham blew into New York City.

I don't know if you've ever met this heavy, dude. He's a combination of Schwarzenegger Clint Eastwood Madonna and a whole bunch of things all rolled into one. By the way the internet just reported that a Madonna just gave her life to Jesus.

I mean that now knowing her temperament if that lasts a week. It'll be a miracle, but it was very interesting reading on the Internet. I'm a Madonna fan by the way because there's a number of reasons.

Especially that she worked so unbelievably hard to make the average evangelical look lazy. And when she did that film Avita when she was pregnant believe me. That was no small thing and I believe she is changing and maybe she has accepted the Lord.

I don't know but it is interesting. How people in the world in the arts in sports in business in politics I can name up 20 other areas where I'm involved with people in the world. They are often disciplined.

They're focused and they are successful and yet so often as Christians. We are not focused. We are not disciplined and we certainly generally are not successful. We have produced a generation of wimps.

We have produced a generation of nerds. Some of you may have already won the award three months in a row. I hope you will not win it again. And I thank God for Billy Graham who was disciplined who was spirit-filled.

Who was pure who could be a model and who has run the race until the age of 78? Where he's just opened up recently a campaign in the tough unbelievable city of San Francisco. Billy Graham came to New York City for one night.

He was just a young man. I Was just a teenager at 16. And a business person gave me a free seat on a bus on a coach in the New York City. That's probably one of the reasons I went another guy in my high school who I couldn't stand somehow invited me to go and I had a lot of different girls.

I was interested in this one little we used to call him Proxide blonde back in the 50s. I thought she could use a little it's hot religion. And so I said, hey Nancy, how about going to hear Billy Graham?

So we went. I heard he was a hypnotist so I sat as far away as I could and I watched Billy Graham. He was not a hypnotist. He's a very simple plain man. He spoke what the Bible says. And he called people to repent and believe in Jesus.

And thanks for the prayers of that woman that visionary woman who prayed for me when Billy Graham gave that invitation. I got out of my seat. So many years ago yet, it's so vivid and went forward and believed on Jesus Christ and was born from above I Have never had a single day in 42 years.

Where I'm not experienced the reality of what God did in my life that night. I've had miserable minutes. I failed the Lord many times. But it discovered as a baby Christian when you sin or when you fail.

You can confess your sins and he's faithful and just to forgive you and cleanse you from all unrighteousness. I had a lot of struggles in my Christian life. I don't know if any of you you're a Christian you love Jesus.

You've been born again.

But You have a lot of struggles. I.

Grace, Forgiveness, and Perseverance After Failure

Still struggle with a whole thing of lust by 16. I was hooked on pornography. Because in my culture in that place, we weren't all jumping in bed with each other in those days. It was more the heavy kissing necking era.

Elvis Presley and Haley in the Comet a few other wild things. So a lot of us a lot of us young men we got into fantasies. We got into things. I'd rather not talk about mainly connected with fantasy and magazine.

And when I was born again that night, I knew that had to go and I burned those magazines. But somehow it wasn't so easy to burn the memories. Wasn't so easy to get that total victory in the mind and I remember as a baby Christian one time giving out tracts in the Street, I remember it so well I'd hitchhike to this city to see a particular girl and she didn't have time to see me sure I had a date.

I don't think I even told her I was coming. Anyway, there's a bit discouraged by that so I went out in the street. I was giving out tracts and suddenly all the Advertisements the striptease places and the magazines that just it just got to me.

And I went into one of these places that I had never even gone into as a non-christian. I Didn't last very long because when you're a Christian and you've sinned the conviction is there the discipline in this case.

The chastening of the Lord as it talks about in Hebrews 11, and I I quickly after about five minutes ran out of that place. Threw the ticket at the ticket collector and ran into the streets. And I felt really miserable.

Have you ever failed the Lord really bad. And the old devil comes up to you and says, you know, you're not a Christian. You're a slob. Have you ever told you you were slob? I mean that very offensive.

And then he sort of invites you to come back where you were before you met Jesus. He sort of insinuates you've never really changed. He sort of insinuates. You'll never really fit in with this Christian crowd.

Anyway, they're all straight. You're weird. Or over sex. Oh, that was the favorite line the devil gave to me. You're over sexed I thought maybe for a while. I was a sexaholic. What hope is it? But instead I went to God's Word as a baby Christian.

I could have been wiped out that very week. I Went to God's Word and I saw message of grace. The message of forgiveness. I ran into a telephone booth. I'm not exaggerating the story even an inch and I grabbed the phone and I said God are you there and I began to pour?

Out my heart forgive me for my lust my stupidity my turning my back against you. And I I didn't feel forgiven, but I walked out of that phone booth in the Indianapolis bus station. Standing on God's promises.

I believe I believe before I knew what happened the man walked up to me. Apparently was having trouble with his wife. He ran up to me and within a few sentences. He said I want to know how I can be saved from my sin.

You ever had anybody ask you that in a bus station? You know usually in a bus station people ask, you know, where's the bus? They don't usually say how can I be saved from my sin? I Will tell you and within an hour.

I dealt with that man. And he gave his life to Jesus Christ. I Could have been stuck in the phone booth groveling in my own sin in my own failure, but somehow by God's grace I got up and got back in the path.

My message to you this whole weekend is the greatest thing in all the world is the grace of God. That's saved and that keeps us motivated. And it's because I learned about forgiveness and grace and how to bounce back and how to walk in the light and such great Principles as personal revival, which is mentioned by the way in one of these books you get five for five dollars.

Read that book on personal revival. It's about God's grace. It'll revolutionize your life. It's for that reason That I have this what some people think is an interesting testimony. I've been excited about Jesus every day for 42 years.

Now if you're not excited about Jesus, by the way, I have the cure. All you have to do right now quietly. You don't have to be noisy like me. My noise has nothing to do with spirituality. Has to do with being the son of a Dutch immigrant.

Has to do with coming from New Jersey. Has to do with having too much energy. Has to do with sometimes preaching over the loud music in the background and other problems. But it's not necessarily Spirituality a lot of the most spiritual I people I know and I know a lot of people.

They're very quiet laid-back people. How many of you? Categorize yourself not as my type loud extrovert aggressive. Let's get them. You're more laid-back quiet shy. How many of you feel you're in that camp least maybe before the Lord saved you raise your hand the vast vast majority.

Let me tell you you Make the best missionaries. We make the best cheerleaders. Whoa as you go out to give your life in some Desert in the middle of Saudi Arabia where we can cheer you on to be the first Kiwi martyr in Saudi Arabia, we will be cheering for you.

I can assure you I Mentioned this because I think it's so important to understand God works in different people in different ways. We're not here this weekend to get you all to become missionary. We believe to be in marketplace ministry in Auckland can be as strategic as being in in missionary work in the middle of Bombay.

God leads different people in different ways, but we want you to be filled with the Spirit. We want you to have Christ as your Lord. We want you to understand the reality of being a world-class Christian taking ownership of the vision and Starting to take at least some baby steps.

Evangelism Begins at Home

I Went back to my high school right out of the Billy Graham meeting. And I will tell you we saw absolutely amazing things. This was my jurisdiction and I felt the first place I needed a witness with my high school.

I Was just about being elected as sort of the school Radical leader by a thousand two hundred students as they put posters all over the school with my big nose and picture Let George do it. We wanted more schools better sports and we were raising money selling magazines to buy another Athletic field and all kinds of crazy things which weren't really that crazy.

But because of that position the door opened to share Jesus with my fellow students. One after another came to Christ. I went off to university. They continued the prayer meetings. We were one of the most drunken schools outside, New York City.

We sometimes on a weekend one third were plastered or drunk whatever words you want to use. Some of them killed racing their cars down route 17 out of New York State. Completely drunk and what bending the car around a telephone pole they pull out the bodies the next morning.

But in that drunken school that that lady had prayed for for over 15 years the Spirit of God began to work and I'll tell you There's nothing as exciting as to see God work in your Jerusalem your high school your streets your cities your marketplaces.

Yes, even your church. They invited me back for this one meeting six months after I went off to university. 600 people came to the meeting students. This isn't even legal in America anymore under the new laws.

And among them was there my own dad. He's 91 years of age, but that night around 1957 Seven when 125 students stood up to believe on Jesus Christ. My father was among them. Never give up praying for your parents.

How many of you have parents that don't yet know the Lord Jesus. Raise your hand. That's a lot of people. That's about a third of you. Don't give up. I'd love to tell you the story of my wife's stepfather.

He was anti-christian he opposed her he threw her out of the house and God's providence. That's how I met her. She left Milwaukee and came to Chicago and we met later. We're married, but we prayed for him for 25 years.

He opposed. He persecuted his own wife because she was somewhat of a committed Christian. We just kept praying. I even took up golf to play golf with him because he was a you know. Golf was everything that was not necessarily a very good move because he believed in golf etiquette.

And I was not good at golf etiquette. But somehow I arranged for him to sit on a golf cart one day with a friend of mine who had an amazing Conversion. My friend's father sort of freaked out blew his wife's brains out blew his brother's plane brains out turned around there and good old Six-gun, California shot at my friend missed my friend fell.

Then the guy took the gun and blew his own brains out and this friend of mine grew up as bitter as anybody could be. He was a pilot in the war and then Jesus met him and he was born again and changed by the power of God so I put him next to my father-in-law on a golf cart and They went around the golf course and my friend shared his testimony and I saw my father-in-law's heart break and eventually He came to Jesus.

Don't give up on your parents. Amen. Don't give up on Unloved ones. I'm still in praying for people. I went to primary school with I got their pictures. I went to my class reunion last year almost to the day today 40 year class reunion in my high school and I discovered more and more of them have come to Jesus.

Don't give up. George Mueller prayed and prayed and prayed this amazing man. I had all those orphanages and prayed in so much money and Some of the people he prayed for only came to Jesus after he died.

We shall reap if we faint not the Word of God said. So Jesus moved into action. Jesus said the harvest is plenteous. The laborers are few. Jesus Moved on the heart of a dear woman near my high school from that passage of Scripture and other passages of Scripture.

And it led to the birth of a movement named operation mobilization. Incredible story. We don't have time to tell and my burden is just To share very very quickly as I try to wind this down. Some of the most basic principles we need to know to make OJ a Dynamic event with many people not just making decisions but going on for God.

Five Principles for Effective Evangelism

Let me give you five ingredients. That I feel after being in this kind of OJ ministry for 40 years. Five Basic ingredients every participant needs to have. There are more but we don't want to keep you here all night.

So I'll give you five number one a spirit of faith and expectation. William Carey said let's expect great things from God and let's attempt great things for God. Isn't that tremendous? That's not copyrighted.

By the way, you can write that down. You can practice your evangelism on your little sister. Before you try it in the street. You know, we need to practice some of these things. Some are shy you can practice on your test.

But I hope you will get some practice and learn how to share your faith, but together with that. Together with that we need a spirit of expectation. Not unrealistic expectation like in one of our first trips to Mexico a girl was praying.

We asked you for 1 ,000 souls this week, you know, we hadn't seen five. Yeah. And one of the words that you'll find if you read any of my books or listen to my tapes will run right through is the word balance.

Balance is not compromised because we're into no compromise. I just love that theme because one of my close friends was a man named Keith Green and I was with him about 40 days. God took him through an airplane accident and I preached that many of his memorial services and now his book is Distributed all over the world and the title of the book Keith Green's Megabiography is no compromise.

I love it. Balance is not compromise. Balance is letting one major truth bring another major truth into the right cutting-edge perspective. It's like Concord Fastest plane in the world. I saw it take off the other day.

It is beautiful perfect breaking the speed of sound. You think that's exciting? Did you just read about that guy in the racing car? He just broke that turkey just broke the speed of sound in a in a car.

You know a little bit supersonic how I would love to get one of those cars in OEM. I've always felt everything is going too slow, but maybe maybe another year. Breaking the speed of sound in a car who would have ever do you think Henry Ford ever thought of that poor old guy?

I Tell you we live in exciting days. I'm so glad that the Lord has left me behind for a few more years. Otherwise, I wouldn't have met you and some of you look really exciting either that or you're drunk.

I Hope it's only new wine. Jesus is alive. We need to have a spirit of expectation. He wants to save people this summer. We're not going out on a dry run. This is not some kind of practice run. We're going out to real spiritual warfare real evangelism, and we're believing God that men and women will be saved.

Some people attack this kind of evangelism these days. They say well we believe in relational evangelism. I'll tell you when you go out in the street and you start to talk to somebody about Jesus. You're about to start the most hot red-hot.
