WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.740
People ask me, have you ever been to Bible college?

00:00:02.879 --> 00:00:06.400
I say, yeah, I have. It's called prison. Yeah,

00:00:06.500 --> 00:00:10.220
that was my Bible college because that's where

00:00:10.220 --> 00:00:13.820
I learned to hear from the Holy Spirit. That's

00:00:13.820 --> 00:00:15.480
where I learned to pray and that's where I learned

00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:27.600
to fast. God promises in Joel 2 .28 to pour out

00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:31.109
His Spirit on all humanity. Welcome to Global

00:00:31.109 --> 00:00:33.789
Outpouring, where we contend for that promise

00:00:33.789 --> 00:00:37.170
outpouring, we equip for that outpouring, so

00:00:37.170 --> 00:00:40.689
that we may engage in that very outpouring. I'm

00:00:40.689 --> 00:00:43.329
Philip Buss. And I'm Sharon Buss. Welcome to

00:00:43.329 --> 00:00:47.280
the podcast today. We have with us today... more

00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:50.039
of our dear friends from the ends of the earth,

00:00:50.179 --> 00:00:53.439
from New Zealand. Only this time, it's not the

00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:56.119
same people as last time. This is Richard and

00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:59.299
Sarah Tateau. And they're going to tell their

00:00:59.299 --> 00:01:04.959
stories about how Jesus has transformed a man

00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:09.439
for revival. And his background started with

00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:12.640
trouble and molestation and drugs and violence

00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:16.450
and prison. And Sarah? What a good little girl.

00:01:17.290 --> 00:01:19.230
It's going to be great. You're going to love

00:01:19.230 --> 00:01:25.629
this. Thanks for joining us today. We're so glad

00:01:25.629 --> 00:01:28.920

going on, because there's amazing things going

00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:59.519
on in the outpouring around the world. And these

00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:02.079
folks that are going to be with us today are

00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:05.079
going to share with us a vision that the Lord

00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:09.139
has given them for a great revival from the ends

00:02:09.139 --> 00:02:13.319
of the earth that was prophesied by Smith Wigglesworth.

00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:17.680
Well, we want to welcome our friends from the

00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:20.780
ends of the earth in New Zealand, Richard and

00:02:20.780 --> 00:02:24.159
Sarah Tateau. And they're going to share with

00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:27.599
us some of their stories as well. They're acquainted

00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:30.280
with the folks that we had on our last episode.

00:02:30.819 --> 00:02:34.259
So we just want to take it from there. Tell us

00:02:34.259 --> 00:02:36.699
a little bit about your background. Where did

00:02:36.699 --> 00:02:39.039
you come from? What kind of upbringing did you

00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:41.729
have? Did you both grow up in New Zealand? Yes.

00:02:42.150 --> 00:02:45.430
I'll start with my wife. Come on, Sarah, tell

00:02:45.430 --> 00:02:48.650
us. Okay. Well, my parents are from the Pacific

00:02:48.650 --> 00:02:51.250
Islands. They came to New Zealand from the island

00:02:51.250 --> 00:02:54.689
of Samoa. Pacific Island of Samoa. They came

00:02:54.689 --> 00:02:58.530
as youth in those days, in the 60s, 70s, maybe

00:02:58.530 --> 00:03:01.750
in the 50s, early 50s. They had Pacific Islanders

00:03:01.750 --> 00:03:04.250
come into New Zealand to help with the agriculture,

00:03:04.550 --> 00:03:07.150
with picking fruit and stuff. And my parents,

00:03:07.250 --> 00:03:09.069
because in the islands, they send their children

00:03:09.069 --> 00:03:12.629
back to other countries to help send money back

00:03:12.629 --> 00:03:15.550
to support the family. And that's what my parents

00:03:15.550 --> 00:03:20.389
were part of. And they came as youth. They met

00:03:20.389 --> 00:03:25.969
and married in New Zealand and in Samoa, in the

00:03:25.969 --> 00:03:28.789
Pacific Islands, every day at six o 'clock in

00:03:28.789 --> 00:03:31.650
the evening, everything in the island stops and

00:03:31.650 --> 00:03:34.669
everything, all the roads are shut down, all

00:03:34.669 --> 00:03:36.530
these gates and stuff that come down. And what

00:03:36.530 --> 00:03:38.969
happens is everyone goes into their houses and

00:03:38.969 --> 00:03:43.219
they pray. They pray for about an hour. Everything

00:03:43.219 --> 00:03:46.000
comes back to life once that time is over. And

00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:48.199
the gates go back up. Everyone goes back into

00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:50.219
their home. And this is what my parents brought

00:03:50.219 --> 00:03:53.780
back into New Zealand for us as kids. And this

00:03:53.780 --> 00:03:56.900
is what I was brought up in. And so I knew of

00:03:56.900 --> 00:03:59.680
the Lord because my parents were walking as...

00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:03.219
believers, but not as born again believers who

00:04:03.219 --> 00:04:06.659
knew Jesus personally, intimately. And so they

00:04:06.659 --> 00:04:09.979
came as, they went to a church called the Pacific

00:04:09.979 --> 00:04:15.080
Island PIPC. And it was a group of Pacific Islanders

00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:17.740
that came together to worship. And my parents

00:04:17.740 --> 00:04:21.300
were brought up there and they grew up in the

00:04:21.300 --> 00:04:24.800
community. And then what happened was they had

00:04:25.459 --> 00:04:28.680
missionaries that came around and they evangelized

00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:31.740
to my parents and my parents received Jesus as

00:04:31.740 --> 00:04:34.240
their Lord and Savior and then we went from a

00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:38.019
Pacific Island Presbyterian church into a Samoan

00:04:38.019 --> 00:04:42.040
Assembly of God church. That was a major shift

00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:45.959
for us. I'm sure that was a big shift. In those

00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:48.680
days the Assembly of God church was from what

00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:51.879
I can remember was just starting up and so in

00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:55.180
the Pacific Island community the pastor that

00:04:55.180 --> 00:04:57.920
was leading us was one of the founders of the

00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:00.879
Pacific Island Samoan churches in Wellington.

00:05:01.300 --> 00:05:03.600
And so there was a group of them for different

00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:05.920
suburbs. So we were in the Wellington when there

00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:08.139
was a Porirua, you know, upper heart and stuff

00:05:08.139 --> 00:05:11.819
like that. And that's where I grew up and under

00:05:11.819 --> 00:05:15.139
the Samoan Assembly of God church. And that's

00:05:15.139 --> 00:05:18.000
where I came to know Jesus. And we had a lot

00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:20.899
of American influence. They put up screens at

00:05:20.899 --> 00:05:23.339
some of our revival, we called them the revival

00:05:23.339 --> 00:05:25.579
session. I remember that even as a young kid.

00:05:25.660 --> 00:05:29.319
And they had Billy Graham sessions and had Billy

00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:31.519
Graham preaching to the crowds and stuff. And

00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:34.779
it was amazing. And I remember the Holy Spirit

00:05:34.779 --> 00:05:37.060
falling on us as youth because we were growing

00:05:37.060 --> 00:05:40.699
up and we have youth sessions and they were major

00:05:40.699 --> 00:05:44.199
influences. And so was Oral Roberts. We had books

00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:46.899
on Oral Roberts growing up as well. Catherine

00:05:46.899 --> 00:05:49.220
Coleman, you know, a lot of American influence

00:05:49.220 --> 00:05:52.459
in those days. And so I was blessed to be able

00:05:52.459 --> 00:05:55.689
to be born. up in that but you know as as youth

00:05:55.689 --> 00:05:57.730
and as young people get curious about the world

00:05:57.730 --> 00:05:59.930
we go to school and it's a different world out

00:05:59.930 --> 00:06:03.970
there and um yeah and so I kind of fell back

00:06:03.970 --> 00:06:07.189
a bit but I didn't go into the full -on like

00:06:07.189 --> 00:06:10.709
um leaving home and falling back into adultery

00:06:10.709 --> 00:06:13.110
and all this sort of stuff. But I do remember

00:06:13.110 --> 00:06:16.050
that in my culture, in Samoan culture, even in

00:06:16.050 --> 00:06:19.050
New Zealand, you don't tend to leave home until

00:06:19.050 --> 00:06:23.509
you're married. So I stayed at home even as a

00:06:23.509 --> 00:06:26.250
teenager, even when I was 21, until I got married

00:06:26.250 --> 00:06:29.689
and left home. And so I feel I was blessed because

00:06:29.689 --> 00:06:32.209
I had parents who had a covering over me. And

00:06:32.209 --> 00:06:34.610
even when I went through my ups and downs, they

00:06:34.610 --> 00:06:37.089
still had a covering. And even when I met my

00:06:37.089 --> 00:06:40.240
husband. It was a real blessing because we had

00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:43.300
a part of one of our pastors came and he set

00:06:43.300 --> 00:06:46.360
up a prison ministry outreach. And there was

00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:49.019
a whole story behind that. But what happened

00:06:49.019 --> 00:06:52.279
was as a youth, I think I was about 21, I think,

00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:55.339
I actually got really bored with church. I had

00:06:55.339 --> 00:06:58.540
done the youth. I've done the children's ministry.

00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:00.139
I've done the kitchen ministry. I've done all

00:07:00.139 --> 00:07:02.519
the ministries. And it was getting boring. I

00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:05.019
found it quite boring. And I probably didn't

00:07:05.019 --> 00:07:08.040
have the Holy Spirit moving on me. as much as

00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:11.819
I wanted him to. But yeah, and I just, one day

00:07:11.819 --> 00:07:13.500
I just said to the Lord straight, Lord, I'm bored.

00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:15.720
There's got to be more to you than this. I want

00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:18.959
some excitement. I want to go travel. I want

00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:22.139
to go see the world. And I suppose I can say,

00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:25.259
you know, be careful what you pray for. Because

00:07:25.259 --> 00:07:28.519
actually if it's what you really truly believe

00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:31.279
in, then pray it and believe in it because that's

00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:34.459
exactly what I got. Wow. From the day I met my

00:07:34.459 --> 00:07:37.589
husband. It was in prison ministry. Richard was

00:07:37.589 --> 00:07:40.129
in prison, and we as a youth were going in to

00:07:40.129 --> 00:07:43.029
minister to them. And what happened was, yeah,

00:07:43.089 --> 00:07:45.689
I met Richard. He was the worship leader, and

00:07:45.689 --> 00:07:49.410
I couldn't believe that a prison inmate was actually

00:07:49.410 --> 00:07:53.129
worshiping God in prison. Because you have another

00:07:53.129 --> 00:07:56.110
view of what prisoners are like when you're not

00:07:56.110 --> 00:07:59.370
in prison. Right, sure. I thought they were.

00:07:59.740 --> 00:08:02.279
just waiting for us to go and evangelize them.

00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:05.240
But no, they were full on for the Lord in there.

00:08:05.259 --> 00:08:08.240
There were a lot more fire than we were going

00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:11.560
in. That's interesting. It's very interesting,

00:08:11.660 --> 00:08:15.699
I know. And I might hand it over to Roach, actually.

00:08:15.699 --> 00:08:18.120
So, Richard, there must be some background to

00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:20.879
this if you were in prison. What's the background?

00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:25.939
Well, I grew up in a small town called Featherston,

00:08:26.139 --> 00:08:28.860
which is about 30 miles away from Wellington.

00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:33.279
So I grew up on a farm. So there was eight siblings

00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:38.440
and we weren't a rich family and we weren't middle

00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:42.080
class either because we grew our own vegetables.

00:08:42.379 --> 00:08:45.039
It was like a Goshen land. You call it Goshen

00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:48.539
land today. We had our own sheep and grew all

00:08:48.539 --> 00:08:51.600
our veggies and we had enough leftover to feed

00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:54.399
everyone. Anyway, long story short, I had been

00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:57.860
molested more than one, two, three times. Oh

00:08:57.860 --> 00:09:02.299
no. Not by men, by women when I was young. Yeah.

00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:07.659
And that affected me. And what really took me

00:09:07.659 --> 00:09:10.840
off the rails, there's a saying called hurt people

00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:14.779
hurt people. Absolutely. And people who are hurt

00:09:14.779 --> 00:09:18.399
usually hurt others. And so I had been hurt so

00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:22.539
much. And then, yeah, my dad, he went out with

00:09:22.539 --> 00:09:24.860
my mom's best friend and I caught them and did.

00:09:25.059 --> 00:09:28.679
And that's when. My whole world crumbled. On

00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:30.639
top of the other things, you know, being molested.

00:09:30.779 --> 00:09:35.039
So I really had a hate in my heart for women.

00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:38.440
And I didn't become gay or anything like that,

00:09:38.460 --> 00:09:41.600
but it was hard for me to ever have a relationship.

00:09:42.179 --> 00:09:45.759
And so I was bitter and angry. And that's what

00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:50.679
led me into drugs. And I was always into my music.

00:09:50.820 --> 00:09:54.379
And I loved music. It was like a... a way out,

00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:58.759
you know, an escape. And so I would play music

00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:03.679
and then got into bands and we would play and,

00:10:03.779 --> 00:10:06.419
you know, I really enjoyed that. But I had an

00:10:06.419 --> 00:10:10.440
alcohol problem. I had a drug problem. I had

00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:14.379
a violent problem because I was angry. And so

00:10:14.379 --> 00:10:17.940
no excuses, though, you know. I don't have any

00:10:17.940 --> 00:10:22.639
excuses. I realized that I needed help. but I

00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:25.720
didn't know whether to find help. There are times

00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:28.500
in my life where God was someone. I mean, my

00:10:28.500 --> 00:10:33.120
mom believed. My dad didn't. And so they would

00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:37.440
send us to Anglican Church. They wouldn't come,

00:10:37.580 --> 00:10:42.480
but they would send us. And so we didn't know

00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:45.879
God. It was just, you know, it was boring, to

00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:49.200
be honest. And we couldn't wait to give out,

00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:51.879
but we did it. because to be obedient to our

00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:56.299
parents. But as I grew up, I started doing drugs

00:10:56.299 --> 00:11:00.519
at a young age and it escalated from there. Because

00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:05.700
of my trauma and what happened to me as a young

00:11:05.700 --> 00:11:08.899
person, I couldn't concentrate at school. I hated

00:11:08.899 --> 00:11:12.399
school. I couldn't learn. It was devastating

00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:16.740
for me. And right up to college, you know, I

00:11:16.740 --> 00:11:19.929
was just no good at school. And I was only good

00:11:19.929 --> 00:11:23.230
at sports and music. And so that's what I used

00:11:23.230 --> 00:11:27.750
to focus on, the sports. I mean, in New Zealand,

00:11:27.809 --> 00:11:31.370
we play rugby and similar to gridiron, but we

00:11:31.370 --> 00:11:34.190
don't wear pads and helmets and stuff like that.

00:11:34.350 --> 00:11:39.250
Yeah, it's kind of brutal. Yeah, it's good for

00:11:39.250 --> 00:11:41.169
guys who want to get rid of their frustration.

00:11:42.889 --> 00:11:46.990
But even for that, even though I was a good rugby

00:11:46.990 --> 00:11:53.659
player, I wasn't consistent on disciplining myself.

00:11:54.820 --> 00:11:58.340
And so it just escalated from there. Anyway,

00:11:58.539 --> 00:12:02.980
so this is my second marriage. My first marriage

00:12:02.980 --> 00:12:07.500
was a disaster. I caught my wife, my first wife,

00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:10.460
in bed with someone and lost her. And that's

00:12:10.460 --> 00:12:14.340
how I ended up in prison. And so I was given

00:12:14.340 --> 00:12:17.519
three and a half, five years actually. And I

00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:20.779
did three and a half years. But, you know, there's

00:12:20.779 --> 00:12:23.200
a saying where God turns all things around for

00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:29.539
good. Right. And he did that because through

00:12:29.539 --> 00:12:32.080
that hard time and through the hurts and through

00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:35.860
the pain in my life, I had to call out to God.

00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:38.600
Otherwise, I was a goner. I wouldn't have lived

00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:43.899
very long if I didn't find God. And because I

00:12:43.899 --> 00:12:48.220
did find God and I was in prison, the Lord told

00:12:48.220 --> 00:12:51.120
me to fast and pray. You know, people ask me,

00:12:51.139 --> 00:12:53.519
have you ever been to Bible college? I say, yeah,

00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:57.860
I have. It's called prison. Yeah, that was my

00:12:57.860 --> 00:13:00.740
Bible college because that's where I learned

00:13:00.740 --> 00:13:04.000
to hear from the Holy Spirit. Right. That's where

00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:05.539
I learned to pray and that's where I learned

00:13:05.539 --> 00:13:09.700
to fast. Wow. Yeah. And I used to listen to different

00:13:09.700 --> 00:13:12.659
ones because we would have a television in our

00:13:12.659 --> 00:13:16.190
room. And that's where I'd listen to different

00:13:16.190 --> 00:13:19.950
people, Derek Prince. Good teaching there. Dobson.

00:13:20.129 --> 00:13:24.129
Yeah, he was my favorite. Joyce Myers. Dr. James

00:13:24.129 --> 00:13:28.649
Dobson. James Dobson, yeah. Okay. Yeah, I'd listen

00:13:28.649 --> 00:13:32.070
to his shows all the time. One of the stories

00:13:32.070 --> 00:13:36.090
in prison was my first inmate was a gang leader,

00:13:36.210 --> 00:13:39.009
and he was in the mongrel mob, just what you've

00:13:39.009 --> 00:13:42.110
heard. So the mongrel mob was the place where

00:13:42.110 --> 00:13:44.830
– They were all in prison. Where Sandy and Princess

00:13:44.830 --> 00:13:47.730
were put in the middle of them, right? Yes, yes.

00:13:47.870 --> 00:13:50.330
The gang that they were talking about. Yeah,

00:13:50.389 --> 00:13:52.929
the mongrel mob. Well, he was the youngest leader

00:13:52.929 --> 00:13:57.409
and he was my roommate. Wow. And all I would

00:13:57.409 --> 00:14:01.370
do was pray and read my Bible and listen to a

00:14:01.370 --> 00:14:03.750
Christian radio station on my little transistor

00:14:03.750 --> 00:14:08.450
radio in prison. Wow. And so he had no other

00:14:08.450 --> 00:14:11.769
choice to listen. And anyway, he said to me one

00:14:11.769 --> 00:14:14.690
day, How come you're in here? And I told him,

00:14:14.789 --> 00:14:18.570
I said, I've been violent most of my life. And

00:14:18.570 --> 00:14:20.889
he says, I can relate to that because I have

00:14:20.889 --> 00:14:24.909
been too. And so we started to connect. And anyway,

00:14:25.049 --> 00:14:27.289
long story short, he gave his life to the Lord.

00:14:27.389 --> 00:14:32.509
Glory to God. And that's when I escalated in

00:14:32.509 --> 00:14:35.580
the Lord. showed me that I needed to fast and

00:14:35.580 --> 00:14:37.539
pray, that God was going to do something great.

00:14:37.700 --> 00:14:42.059
Wow. And we had a revival in the prisons. Hallelujah.

00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:45.860
The prison that I was in, they were all mostly

00:14:45.860 --> 00:14:49.659
Freemasons. Oh, wow. And so they tried everything

00:14:49.659 --> 00:14:54.539
to stop us from getting churches in, and they

00:14:54.539 --> 00:14:57.570
would do everything they could, but God. as we

00:14:57.570 --> 00:15:00.710
know is greater than that. So he opened the doors

00:15:00.710 --> 00:15:03.529
for us to get other people to come in. And that's

00:15:03.529 --> 00:15:06.509
when I met my wife, Sarah, because I had been

00:15:06.509 --> 00:15:10.490
parted and I got a divorce. And anyway, the Lord

00:15:10.490 --> 00:15:14.809
says, this is your wife. I says, really? I says,

00:15:14.870 --> 00:15:17.409
well, that'll be cool because they would come

00:15:17.409 --> 00:15:20.110
in. But she was right. You know, we were on fire

00:15:20.110 --> 00:15:23.659
then. There was a great movement of God. People

00:15:23.659 --> 00:15:26.940
would come to my cell room and say, there's something

00:15:26.940 --> 00:15:29.039
different about you. What is it? And I says,

00:15:29.220 --> 00:15:33.080
well, I'm a Christian. I love Jesus, man. He's

00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:35.779
changed my life. And so I'd share my testimony,

00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:38.679
how I was a drug dealer, how I was into drugs

00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:41.059
and how I was violent. And they could all relate

00:15:41.059 --> 00:15:44.220
to that. Most of them were in because of those

00:15:44.220 --> 00:15:47.059
things. And, you know, most people are looking

00:15:47.059 --> 00:15:50.980
for a way out. Right. It's a mask they put on,

00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:55.059
the staunchness and, you know, I'm a gangbanger

00:15:55.059 --> 00:15:57.879
and all this. But it's really because they're

00:15:57.879 --> 00:16:00.500
hurt. You know, they're looking for love. That's

00:16:00.500 --> 00:16:03.940
right. And so they would come to my room and

00:16:03.940 --> 00:16:06.200
I would share my story and then I'd pray for

00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:07.720
them and then they'd give their lives to the

00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:10.899
Lord. Thank you, Jesus. The prison I was in,

00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:13.399
they had never had baptisms before, and we started

00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:19.240
baptizing the inmates. And yeah, the whole prison

00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:23.879
changed. God's presence was all over the prison.

00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:28.360
And we had a chaplain, Puna, his name is. He's

00:16:28.360 --> 00:16:33.059
a Samoan guy. And we were close friends. We would

00:16:33.059 --> 00:16:38.230
get favor. And he would make sure that whatever

00:16:38.230 --> 00:16:41.309
we needed, Bibles and anything else, and put

00:16:41.309 --> 00:16:45.850
on meetings for the inmates. And, yeah, we had

00:16:45.850 --> 00:16:48.690
a great move of God. We had favor. You know,

00:16:48.730 --> 00:16:52.919
God gives you favor. And he gave me favor to

00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:55.539
go outside of the prison, to go and pick mushrooms,

00:16:55.779 --> 00:16:58.740
to go for a dive in the sea. You don't do that

00:16:58.740 --> 00:16:59.860
when you're in prison. It's unheard of in a prison.

00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:03.379
It's really unheard of. Yeah. And so God would

00:17:03.379 --> 00:17:06.500
give me favor. He would show his greatness to

00:17:06.500 --> 00:17:11.079
me, his mercy and grace to me. So he would open

00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:15.460
the doors. And so, yeah, we had a great movement

00:17:15.460 --> 00:17:18.559
of God. And then after that, I started dating

00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:22.950
Sarah. He didn't like Samoans much, did you?

00:17:24.130 --> 00:17:27.150
I used to fight with Samoans all the time, you

00:17:27.150 --> 00:17:32.890
know. Yeah, because I was hurt mainly. And, you

00:17:32.890 --> 00:17:35.990
know, we're quite territorial too, you know.

00:17:36.390 --> 00:17:41.789
And when you're not a Christian, you don't know

00:17:41.789 --> 00:17:44.410
that we're actually whānau, we're actually family.

00:17:44.769 --> 00:17:49.140
Yes. Samoans, Tongans, we all come from the same

00:17:49.140 --> 00:17:52.700
place. Yeah, I didn't know that back then, but

00:17:52.700 --> 00:17:58.160
now I do. And so I love the Samoan culture. I

00:17:58.160 --> 00:18:01.920
learned to love them. And yeah, God gave me a

00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:06.779
beautiful Samoan wife. Beautiful. So what happened

00:18:06.779 --> 00:18:09.859
once you got out of prison? And I presume you

00:18:09.859 --> 00:18:13.099
married not long after that. Was it a long engagement?

00:18:13.099 --> 00:18:15.400
We said we'd wait two years. That was smart.

00:18:15.579 --> 00:18:17.480
Yeah, it was. That was very smart. Yeah, God

00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:20.319
said, you wait two years and get to know each

00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:23.900
other. Yeah, that's wisdom. Well, we were writing

00:18:23.900 --> 00:18:26.799
to each other while he was in prison. So we got

00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:28.700
to know each other quite well. Within the years.

00:18:28.700 --> 00:18:31.859
It's incredible what writing does. Yeah. I mean,

00:18:31.859 --> 00:18:33.839
you really get to know the heart of a person.

00:18:34.140 --> 00:18:38.619
Yeah. I would recommend that. Yeah. So, yeah,

00:18:38.740 --> 00:18:43.660
God's good. We got married two years after that,

00:18:43.700 --> 00:18:47.339
after I got out. I went straight into ministry

00:18:47.339 --> 00:18:53.359
and went back into prison. Prison ministry. Yeah,

00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:55.000
that was fine because you're not really meant

00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:57.700
to go back. You're not allowed to go back into

00:18:57.700 --> 00:19:00.420
prison if you're done longer than two years.

00:19:00.900 --> 00:19:04.180
I was a bit like, here, I shouldn't even be here

00:19:04.180 --> 00:19:06.299
because I've done three and a half years in prison.

00:19:07.320 --> 00:19:10.259
God gave me favor to get into America. Oh, yeah.

00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:12.680
Yeah, you shouldn't be able to get a visa. No.

00:19:12.700 --> 00:19:16.740
No, you shouldn't have. No. And I was praying

00:19:16.740 --> 00:19:19.660
all the way, and I thought, man, let's see what

00:19:19.660 --> 00:19:22.460
happens when we get to the gates in L .A. and

00:19:22.460 --> 00:19:25.200
see if I get in. But, yeah, God got me in. So

00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:28.559
it seems to be that way. Once I gave my life,

00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:34.000
and I fully gave my life to God, and we've always

00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:38.940
been in ministry. And I was part -time working

00:19:38.940 --> 00:19:42.539
as a plasterer. That's my trade. But then I felt,

00:19:42.660 --> 00:19:46.680
I want to do this full -time. So my wife being

00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:50.559
a teacher, she continued to teach. But for myself,

00:19:50.779 --> 00:19:54.500
I went into full -time ministry. And then, you

00:19:54.500 --> 00:19:56.599
know, Sandy and Princess, who you just had on,

00:19:56.839 --> 00:20:01.549
well, the place where they were at, was the place

00:20:01.549 --> 00:20:04.430
where we had a small revival there too before

00:20:04.430 --> 00:20:08.230
they came. Yeah. And a lot of people would pray

00:20:08.230 --> 00:20:10.430
for that place because it was so rough and it

00:20:10.430 --> 00:20:13.349
was full of gangs. And so we would go there,

00:20:13.349 --> 00:20:16.269
honey, and we'd pray around the place and we'd

00:20:16.269 --> 00:20:19.349
have meetings there and the gang members would

00:20:19.349 --> 00:20:22.869
come. Families would get saved. Wonderful. And

00:20:22.869 --> 00:20:26.750
so it was like us going in, forerunners, and

00:20:26.750 --> 00:20:29.289
then Princess and Sandy coming in and taking

00:20:29.289 --> 00:20:32.950
over from there. Beautiful. So it was, yeah,

00:20:33.069 --> 00:20:35.329
a team effort, even though we didn't really know

00:20:35.329 --> 00:20:37.390
what they were doing and they didn't know what

00:20:37.390 --> 00:20:41.470
we were doing. God knew. Yes, he did. He strategically

00:20:41.470 --> 00:20:45.029
placed you all. Yes. That's right. Yes, and now

00:20:45.029 --> 00:20:48.420
we're working together because that's... One

00:20:48.420 --> 00:20:50.500
of the things that God has shown us to co -labor

00:20:50.500 --> 00:20:53.180
together. We need each other. We're better together.

00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:56.220
Yes. We need each other, and we've really got

00:20:56.220 --> 00:20:59.400
to learn to work with one another and honor one

00:20:59.400 --> 00:21:01.579
another with the different gifts that we have.

00:21:01.759 --> 00:21:05.039
Yes. I think one of the problems we do have within

00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:07.400
the churches is that because everyone's different,

00:21:07.619 --> 00:21:10.559
we're not doing it. Because you get a revelation

00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:16.049
on certain things, and you run with that. But

00:21:16.049 --> 00:21:17.950
you don't realize that someone else has got a

00:21:17.950 --> 00:21:20.369
different revelation, but you join them together.

00:21:20.569 --> 00:21:25.150
It makes a greater force. And so we're learning

00:21:25.150 --> 00:21:28.130
that, and God's bringing us together and bringing

00:21:28.130 --> 00:21:31.549
us all different types. We have the Chinese people

00:21:31.549 --> 00:21:34.130
with us. We have Esther Annie and Daniel Kyle

00:21:34.130 --> 00:21:38.170
and many other different groups and Sandy and

00:21:38.170 --> 00:21:40.710
Princess. So we're all from different churches.

00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:43.299
Different backgrounds. Different ministries,

00:21:43.299 --> 00:21:47.920
yeah. Yeah, so I used to be a drug dealer, so

00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:51.640
I had a lot to do with gangs, and I did. And

00:21:51.640 --> 00:21:54.720
mongrel mob was one of them, and so I knew a

00:21:54.720 --> 00:21:58.160
lot of the mongrel mob back then and a lot of

00:21:58.160 --> 00:22:01.279
the black power. Growing up, we sort of had a

00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:03.720
gang ourselves, but we never wore patches or

00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:05.579
we never said that we were a gang. We were just

00:22:05.579 --> 00:22:08.720
brothers hanging out together. And we used to

00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:11.180
fight with all these different gangs from growing

00:22:11.180 --> 00:22:15.619
up. So we're a sort of part of that too, you

00:22:15.619 --> 00:22:18.539
know. Not that I'm proud of that, but again,

00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:22.140
hurt people hurt people. So you just do things

00:22:22.140 --> 00:22:24.839
that are so silly and you get caught in a trap.

00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:28.559
And the only way to get out for me was Jesus.

00:22:28.839 --> 00:22:32.319
Yeah. Finding the Lord and Him coming into my

00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:36.140
life. And so my wife and I, We started doing

00:22:36.140 --> 00:22:40.339
big events. When I say big events, we'd do...

00:22:40.339 --> 00:22:46.339
For New Zealand. Yeah, yeah. 3 ,000 people. That

00:22:46.339 --> 00:22:50.500
is big. That's big. Yeah. And so we would do

00:22:50.500 --> 00:22:53.079
events like that. And I would do concerts and

00:22:53.079 --> 00:22:56.140
stuff like that just to minister. There's a famous

00:22:56.140 --> 00:22:59.240
guy. He's famous in New Zealand anyway. He may

00:22:59.240 --> 00:23:01.640
be famous over here. I'm not sure. And that's

00:23:01.640 --> 00:23:05.380
Dave Dobbin. God joined us together with different

00:23:05.380 --> 00:23:10.240
well -known people, Christians, who were established

00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:13.920
in the community. And some of them were All Blacks.

00:23:13.920 --> 00:23:17.259
All Blacks are a rugby team, the famous rugby

00:23:17.259 --> 00:23:20.240
team of New Zealand. They do the haka. Yeah,

00:23:20.240 --> 00:23:22.559
they do. They do the haka. And they do it well.

00:23:22.779 --> 00:23:26.460
Very intimidating. Intimidating. But we are the

00:23:26.460 --> 00:23:28.319
world champions, and we have been for a long

00:23:28.319 --> 00:23:31.160
time. South Africa are now, but New Zealand's

00:23:31.160 --> 00:23:33.940
always been at the top. And for a small country,

00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:39.380
only a country of five million. Wow. We do really

00:23:39.380 --> 00:23:42.539
well. That's amazing, because New York and surrounding

00:23:42.539 --> 00:23:46.359
New Jersey and all that is 21 million. Oh, wow.

00:23:47.240 --> 00:23:50.279
Not 19 million. I think it was all of Canada

00:23:50.279 --> 00:23:54.599
was like 23 million, this big, massive, and most

00:23:54.599 --> 00:23:56.460
of them are south of the borders you can get.

00:23:56.960 --> 00:23:59.559
So when you think of 5 million as one nation,

00:23:59.759 --> 00:24:03.839
oh, wow. It's tiny. We're tiny, but we're big

00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:10.029
for what we are. How many of the All Blacks are

00:24:10.029 --> 00:24:14.690
Maoris? Oh, Maoris. Yeah, a lot of them are Maoris.

00:24:14.690 --> 00:24:17.789
Yeah, because there's that warrior in the Maoris.

00:24:17.789 --> 00:24:21.450
Yeah, and there's a lot of Christians, too. Awesome.

00:24:21.869 --> 00:24:23.630
Yeah, we've got a lot of Christian players, just

00:24:23.630 --> 00:24:26.150
like you do here, because I follow a lot of the

00:24:26.150 --> 00:24:31.690
sports here in America. Gridiron and basketball.

00:24:32.369 --> 00:24:35.089
Now, when you say gridiron, to us, we would say

00:24:35.089 --> 00:24:37.829
football. But when you say football, you mean

00:24:37.829 --> 00:24:41.529
what we call soccer. So that's where we have

00:24:41.529 --> 00:24:44.809
a breakdown in communication. That's true. That's

00:24:44.809 --> 00:24:48.109
why I call it gridiron. Gridiron, yeah. We don't

00:24:48.109 --> 00:24:50.089
use that term a whole lot. That's very good.

00:24:50.369 --> 00:24:52.009
That's a good name for it. It is a good name

00:24:52.009 --> 00:24:55.230
for it, yeah. Gridiron, yeah. Yeah, because of

00:24:55.230 --> 00:24:58.970
all the iron coming together. But in rugby, there's

00:24:58.970 --> 00:25:03.509
no pads. No pads, no. No, they were a bit silly.

00:25:05.750 --> 00:25:08.910
A lot of broken bones? Yeah, a lot of broken

00:25:08.910 --> 00:25:12.849
bones. Wow. The rugby players that we know have

00:25:12.849 --> 00:25:16.430
had their knees replaced and shoulders. Yeah,

00:25:16.609 --> 00:25:19.849
it's not good for the body in the long run. So

00:25:19.849 --> 00:25:23.150
we got involved doing revival and feeding. We've

00:25:23.150 --> 00:25:25.329
seen thousands and thousands of people come to

00:25:25.329 --> 00:25:28.910
the Lord, which we were so blessed. And that

00:25:28.910 --> 00:25:31.789
was not long after I got out of prison. We did

00:25:31.789 --> 00:25:34.849
a tour of New Zealand doing the prisons and then

00:25:34.849 --> 00:25:39.490
we started going over to Fiji. Wonderful. We've

00:25:39.490 --> 00:25:42.650
been to Samoa, and Samoa is a great place, too,

00:25:42.730 --> 00:25:44.910
because it is true. The whole place stops for

00:25:44.910 --> 00:25:47.730
an hour. If you can't do anything, you've got

00:25:47.730 --> 00:25:50.950
to go in your house and just pray. How wonderful.

00:25:51.230 --> 00:25:53.289
Isn't that amazing? That's tremendous. I've never

00:25:53.289 --> 00:25:55.369
heard that before. That's wonderful. I think

00:25:55.369 --> 00:25:59.759
we need to try doing that ourselves. I have a

00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:03.519
hard time quitting it at 5 o 'clock or 6 o 'clock.

00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:06.960
But that's the whole village. You have to. You'll

00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:10.440
get told off. They have people standing outside.

00:26:11.160 --> 00:26:14.630
Yeah. They call them the matai, the chiefs. And

00:26:14.630 --> 00:26:19.170
if they see anybody walking around, they farsala

00:26:19.170 --> 00:26:21.990
them, which means that they have to pay a price,

00:26:22.009 --> 00:26:24.410
some sort of consequence. Yeah, there's a consequence

00:26:24.410 --> 00:26:27.170
to it. So they're very strict. But yeah, it's

00:26:27.170 --> 00:26:31.089
a great tradition. And they're a very blessed

00:26:31.089 --> 00:26:34.569
culture. I find Samoans are very blessed and

00:26:34.569 --> 00:26:37.390
they still are today. Our people lost that. We

00:26:37.390 --> 00:26:41.049
had the biggest revival. All of the Māori people

00:26:41.049 --> 00:26:45.769
back in the 1800s were saved, got saved. Wow.

00:26:45.950 --> 00:26:50.789
Yeah. We had one of the biggest revivals. But,

00:26:50.910 --> 00:26:54.769
you know, as the enemy comes in and people lose

00:26:54.769 --> 00:26:57.890
their faith and they didn't hold on to it, but

00:26:57.890 --> 00:27:00.910
I do honour the Samoan people where they still

00:27:00.910 --> 00:27:06.099
honour that. Beautiful. But saying that, we're

00:27:06.099 --> 00:27:10.119
believing for revival, and that's why we're having

00:27:10.119 --> 00:27:13.420
this event called the Golden Bowl. Yes, I wanted

00:27:13.420 --> 00:27:17.099
to have you bring that in. Start with Smith Wigglesworth.

00:27:17.259 --> 00:27:20.480
Yes. Well, Smith Wigglesworth came to Wellington,

00:27:20.700 --> 00:27:25.799
and he came for two weeks. And then it just exploded.

00:27:26.019 --> 00:27:29.319
And many, even people got raised from the dead

00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:33.759
in New Zealand. Wow. Yeah. Amazing man of God.

00:27:33.819 --> 00:27:37.119
But people would come from all over New Zealand

00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:41.039
and get healed at his meetings. And so there

00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:44.619
was a revival in Wellington, our city, capital

00:27:44.619 --> 00:27:47.230
city. Wellington's the capital city. of New Zealand,

00:27:47.369 --> 00:27:51.269
which is the farthest city from Jerusalem. And

00:27:51.269 --> 00:27:54.029
that's why we believe we're called the ends of

00:27:54.029 --> 00:27:57.690
the earth. Yes. And we have a real heart for

00:27:57.690 --> 00:28:01.130
Jerusalem. But getting back to Smith Wigglesworth,

00:28:01.369 --> 00:28:05.190
he planted that seed in us, in me, because I

00:28:05.190 --> 00:28:08.250
read his book. And when he said a prophecy for

00:28:08.250 --> 00:28:11.710
New Zealand and Australia, well, I first wondered

00:28:11.710 --> 00:28:14.849
how was he going to do that? How was the Lord

00:28:14.849 --> 00:28:18.359
going to do it? make that happen but i realized

00:28:18.359 --> 00:28:22.039
we have to step out by faith and start producing

00:28:22.039 --> 00:28:25.960
something like that yes and so because god has

00:28:25.960 --> 00:28:29.759
put me through many revivals and the concept

00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:33.059
for for me to see in revival is through prayer

00:28:33.059 --> 00:28:37.259
and fasting yes and humbling ourselves right

00:28:37.259 --> 00:28:42.289
and so we intend to like we fasted the 21 day

00:28:42.289 --> 00:28:46.569
fast and we we're going to continue fast till

00:28:46.569 --> 00:28:52.450
uh 2027 for this event yes you're calling it

00:28:52.450 --> 00:28:55.990
the golden ball golden ball yeah because um it

00:28:55.990 --> 00:28:59.450
looks like a golden bowl the seats are yellow

00:28:59.450 --> 00:29:02.670
golden yellow oh this is in the stadium this

00:29:02.670 --> 00:29:07.440
is in the stadium oh wow and um Sandy, yeah,

00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:10.779
got a vision of that, the golden bowl of incense

00:29:10.779 --> 00:29:14.980
worship going up to the Lord. Our concept really

00:29:14.980 --> 00:29:17.839
is bringing the nations together to worship the

00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:21.259
Lord in their own tongue, like to invite the

00:29:21.259 --> 00:29:24.420
indigenous Indian to come and worship, dance

00:29:24.420 --> 00:29:27.279
how they dance. Yeah. Because I think a lot of

00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:31.529
us have been programmed to. a one -way thing

00:29:31.529 --> 00:29:36.130
within the churches. And for us, growing up as

00:29:36.130 --> 00:29:39.230
a Christian in certain churches, we weren't allowed

00:29:39.230 --> 00:29:43.569
to do our culture. Right. We were told not to.

00:29:45.269 --> 00:29:48.960
Seen as the monarch. Yeah. Because it can be.

00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:51.799
It can be. If you don't have spiritual eyes and

00:29:51.799 --> 00:29:54.779
see and hear exactly what it's about, you miss

00:29:54.779 --> 00:29:58.119
it completely. Yeah, you have to redeem what's

00:29:58.119 --> 00:30:00.680
redeemable. That's right. And have the Spirit

00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:03.539
of God give you the discernment about what's

00:30:03.539 --> 00:30:05.339
redeemable, what's not redeemable. Yes, very

00:30:05.339 --> 00:30:08.140
good. That's right. Well, we got the revelation

00:30:08.140 --> 00:30:13.599
that God redeemed our haka. Yes. He's using it

00:30:13.599 --> 00:30:16.440
and we've seen it. And it was part of that power

00:30:16.440 --> 00:30:20.599
to Finawa. I took it over to Fiji and we powered

00:30:20.599 --> 00:30:22.500
the land because they're very spiritual over

00:30:22.500 --> 00:30:25.000
there and there's a lot of demonic entities over

00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:28.079
there. And there needed to be a lot of things

00:30:28.079 --> 00:30:31.019
broken. So we did the haka. And when we did the

00:30:31.019 --> 00:30:35.589
haka, it broke something on their land. And that's

00:30:35.589 --> 00:30:37.730
when they started getting revivals where we went

00:30:37.730 --> 00:30:41.910
to. Wow. So God showed me that he had redeemed

00:30:41.910 --> 00:30:44.170
it. But, you know, the religious spirit will

00:30:44.170 --> 00:30:49.009
come and kill and destroy. So, yeah, he tried

00:30:49.009 --> 00:30:52.690
his best to stop us from being indigenous, being

00:30:52.690 --> 00:30:55.710
who we are. Right. Sharing the love of Christ

00:30:55.710 --> 00:31:00.089
through our waiata, which is songs, and the way

00:31:00.089 --> 00:31:03.980
we do it. Because I've been studying music, so

00:31:03.980 --> 00:31:07.140
I'm not too sure how you guys know anything about

00:31:07.140 --> 00:31:09.279
the frequencies of sound. Oh, sure. Yeah, yeah,

00:31:09.299 --> 00:31:11.960
cool. Well, see, everything has a frequency.

00:31:12.180 --> 00:31:15.720
Absolutely. And God's redeemed our sound to have

00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:18.839
a frequency that can break through. Yes. And

00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:21.039
that's what we were prayed over by our prophets

00:31:21.039 --> 00:31:23.900
before we came, that you carry a breakthrough

00:31:23.900 --> 00:31:27.039
anointing. to break through into the nations.

00:31:27.420 --> 00:31:30.740
And so I've seen that happen firsthand, not only

00:31:30.740 --> 00:31:36.779
in Fiji, but also in New Zealand. Because Sandy,

00:31:36.920 --> 00:31:39.980
Princess, myself, and my wife, we traveled all

00:31:39.980 --> 00:31:42.660
around the North Island. We went right up to

00:31:42.660 --> 00:31:46.700
the top. And we started to warfare in Song and

00:31:46.700 --> 00:31:50.619
Waita. And we realized that it was doing the

00:31:50.619 --> 00:31:55.319
same in our land. We saw a whole town change

00:31:55.319 --> 00:31:58.099
because of the frequency of sound and people

00:31:58.099 --> 00:32:02.140
coming to the Lord. So we just want to co -labor

00:32:02.140 --> 00:32:06.380
that sound with others and encourage other indigenous

00:32:06.380 --> 00:32:10.440
people to do the same. Right. Because even with

00:32:10.440 --> 00:32:15.250
the Indian dance and their songs. can be redeemed

00:32:15.250 --> 00:32:17.869
too. Absolutely. That's right. And it's anointed.

00:32:17.970 --> 00:32:22.089
It's more, it's not just a song. It's the power

00:32:22.089 --> 00:32:26.210
of the word and the dance and all that. Yes.

00:32:26.250 --> 00:32:28.750
There's not much teaching on it within the church

00:32:28.750 --> 00:32:32.670
for people to understand how powerful the frequency

00:32:32.670 --> 00:32:37.230
of dance and waving the flags and doing the haka

00:32:37.230 --> 00:32:40.630
really is. Reminds me of what Dean Braxton was

00:32:40.630 --> 00:32:43.769
sharing. Yes. Yes, he said that exactly. With

00:32:43.769 --> 00:32:46.630
the sound and with the worship. Right. And imagine

00:32:46.630 --> 00:32:49.329
when it comes from the indigenous peoples on

00:32:49.329 --> 00:32:52.789
the land as well. Right. Wow, that would be incredible.

00:32:53.150 --> 00:32:55.529
Yeah. Because we've seen it. We've seen it with

00:32:55.529 --> 00:33:01.279
our own. Many nations come together to do that.

00:33:01.460 --> 00:33:05.400
Exactly. So you're planning this for March 27th,

00:33:05.400 --> 00:33:08.579
2027? Yes. And you're inviting the indigenous

00:33:08.579 --> 00:33:11.259
peoples and all the peoples of the world to come

00:33:11.259 --> 00:33:15.619
and participate in bringing the sound of worship.

00:33:15.839 --> 00:33:18.200
One of the things that Dean Braxton did say about

00:33:18.200 --> 00:33:23.099
our convention was that he had never seen In

00:33:23.099 --> 00:33:26.000
all of his travels, he had never seen so many

00:33:26.000 --> 00:33:29.819
cultures worshiping together. He said it reminded

00:33:29.819 --> 00:33:34.480
him of heaven. That's right. So what you have

00:33:34.480 --> 00:33:37.079
in your vision, you and Sandy, have in your vision

00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:40.599
for this Golden Bowl, sounds to me like a very

00:33:40.599 --> 00:33:45.349
heavenly kind of a meeting. Yes. That we're all

00:33:45.349 --> 00:33:48.150
going to bring our own sound and raise it up

00:33:48.150 --> 00:33:51.910
from the ends of the earth to the Lord. I just

00:33:51.910 --> 00:33:55.549
think it's going to make him so happy. Oh, yes.

00:33:56.009 --> 00:33:58.289
Maybe we should be there. I'm thinking maybe

00:33:58.289 --> 00:34:01.390
we should be. Yeah, I believe you guys should

00:34:01.390 --> 00:34:03.950
be there. Yes, we believe you should be. Glory

00:34:03.950 --> 00:34:06.150
to God. Well, let's put it on our calendar. Put

00:34:06.150 --> 00:34:08.670
it on the calendar, yeah. Hallelujah. Yeah, well,

00:34:08.769 --> 00:34:13.070
it's scripture too, you know, in Isaiah 5. Do

00:34:13.070 --> 00:34:16.329
you want to read it out, honey? That'd be great.

00:34:16.570 --> 00:34:19.409
Yes, so giving back to Smith Wigglesworth, the

00:34:19.409 --> 00:34:23.469
prophecy he said was that before Jesus comes,

00:34:23.809 --> 00:34:28.170
the last end time revival will start from the

00:34:28.170 --> 00:34:30.949
ends of the earth and go through to all the nations.

00:34:31.309 --> 00:34:35.250
Yes. And I remember reading that or hearing my,

00:34:35.289 --> 00:34:37.369
I think my brother -in -law was reading to us

00:34:37.369 --> 00:34:41.980
when I was in language school. Probably something

00:34:41.980 --> 00:34:46.920
like 48 years ago, 49 years ago. 1977. Yeah,

00:34:46.960 --> 00:34:50.320
it would have been the end of 76. I remembered

00:34:50.320 --> 00:34:53.480
hearing that, and it went into me, and I remembered

00:34:53.480 --> 00:34:56.719
it. So when you brought it up, it was not new

00:34:56.719 --> 00:35:00.880
news to me. I said, yep, I know that story. Well,

00:35:00.900 --> 00:35:04.639
Cindy Jacobs said the same, and she brought with

00:35:04.639 --> 00:35:08.079
a warning and said a few prophets had come to

00:35:08.079 --> 00:35:11.610
New Zealand. And the thing that has let us down

00:35:11.610 --> 00:35:15.909
is the control over the churches. Oh, no. The

00:35:15.909 --> 00:35:21.849
spirit of control and pride. That'll kill any

00:35:21.849 --> 00:35:24.489
movement. That kills the movement of God. And

00:35:24.489 --> 00:35:27.829
what we've seen within a lot of our churches

00:35:27.829 --> 00:35:31.110
in New Zealand is they get really big and full

00:35:31.110 --> 00:35:35.550
of pride and then they collapse. Wow. As we all

00:35:35.550 --> 00:35:39.380
know, pride. comes before yeah i was just thinking

00:35:39.380 --> 00:35:41.500
that's good probably coming before a fall yeah

00:35:41.500 --> 00:35:46.400
yeah and so we for this movement because we're

00:35:46.400 --> 00:35:48.340
believing we could we've got to believe that

00:35:48.340 --> 00:35:53.480
okay lord we want to honor uh mr wigglesworth

00:35:53.480 --> 00:35:56.400
what he said so we're going to put this into

00:35:56.400 --> 00:36:00.329
play But we're going to do it differently. We

00:36:00.329 --> 00:36:02.349
don't want to be full of ourselves. We want to

00:36:02.349 --> 00:36:04.989
humble ourselves. We want to co -labor with other

00:36:04.989 --> 00:36:06.949
people, with the churches, with all the different

00:36:06.949 --> 00:36:11.150
nations and build up relationships and invite

00:36:11.150 --> 00:36:13.570
them to come to the ends of the earth to come

00:36:13.570 --> 00:36:17.429
and worship. Beautiful. Yeah. Beautiful. What's

00:36:17.429 --> 00:36:20.869
that scripture, Sarah? It's Isaiah 5, verse 26.

00:36:21.929 --> 00:36:24.969
And it goes, he will lift up a banner to signal

00:36:24.969 --> 00:36:28.050
the distant nations. He whistles for them to

00:36:28.050 --> 00:36:31.289
come from the ends of the earth. Look, here they

00:36:31.289 --> 00:36:34.090
come running swiftly and speedily. I'm going

00:36:34.090 --> 00:36:37.510
to read 27 as well. Not one warrior stumbles

00:36:37.510 --> 00:36:40.909
or grows weary, not even stopping to rest or

00:36:40.909 --> 00:36:45.389
sleep. They are battle ready. Wow. Their arrows

00:36:45.389 --> 00:36:49.340
are sharpened and every bow strung. Their horses'

00:36:49.460 --> 00:36:52.519
hooves are hard as flint, and their chariot wheels

00:36:52.519 --> 00:36:56.079
turn like the whirlwind. Wow. That's amazing

00:36:56.079 --> 00:36:58.519
scripture, yeah. So is that a native whistle

00:36:58.519 --> 00:37:01.980
that you just played? This is actually another

00:37:01.980 --> 00:37:08.179
story to this. This was given to us by the Mongolians.

00:37:08.340 --> 00:37:12.360
Oh. Yes, so really it is, yes, a native, because

00:37:12.360 --> 00:37:15.539
we originally come from Mongolia. So the Maori

00:37:15.539 --> 00:37:20.250
and? And many nations have come from Mongolia.

00:37:20.329 --> 00:37:25.070
Yes. And when Genghis Khan went across continents,

00:37:25.269 --> 00:37:28.989
I mean, he went through Asia, through Russia,

00:37:29.150 --> 00:37:32.349
through Europe, Middle East, I think he was even

00:37:32.349 --> 00:37:37.769
there. And so there's that same Mongolian warrior

00:37:37.769 --> 00:37:43.480
spirit that has gone into DNA all across. all

00:37:43.480 --> 00:37:45.980
across that part of the world. That's true. Because

00:37:45.980 --> 00:37:48.280
even on the Pacific Islands, the Pacific Islands

00:37:48.280 --> 00:37:52.280
are very warrior -like. Yes. Very strong. Right.

00:37:52.659 --> 00:37:56.000
And didn't we hear that the Cherokee traced a

00:37:56.000 --> 00:37:58.280
lot of their DNA all the way back to Mongolia?

00:37:58.280 --> 00:38:01.599
Yes, they did. So our native people here in this

00:38:01.599 --> 00:38:05.079
country, in the United States, in America, the

00:38:05.079 --> 00:38:08.099
First Nations, they're called in Canada, they

00:38:08.099 --> 00:38:11.630
have... that same DNA. I remember when we were

00:38:11.630 --> 00:38:16.110
in Tibet many years ago, that I was seeing things

00:38:16.110 --> 00:38:19.269
in their culture that I had seen pictures of,

00:38:19.329 --> 00:38:22.670
like among the natives in the north of Canada,

00:38:22.869 --> 00:38:28.070
the Inuit, yeah, that the Inuit even look like

00:38:28.070 --> 00:38:30.150
the people in Tibet. Well, the people in Tibet

00:38:30.150 --> 00:38:33.429
also came from Mongolia. So, you know, there

00:38:33.429 --> 00:38:37.869
was this spreading out of this DNA. And I loved

00:38:37.869 --> 00:38:40.420
what I think it was Princess said in the last

00:38:40.420 --> 00:38:44.699
episode about God putting in each one an incorruptible

00:38:44.699 --> 00:38:51.900
seed. That is his DNA. That is his heart. That

00:38:51.900 --> 00:38:57.840
is his whistle calling people back to Father.

00:38:58.360 --> 00:39:01.860
Calling people back because he loves all of humanity

00:39:01.860 --> 00:39:05.039
and he wants to pour out his spirit on all humanity.

00:39:07.340 --> 00:39:10.239
Beautiful. Amen. That's what we believe in seeing

00:39:10.239 --> 00:39:14.119
in Wellington, at the Golden Bowl. So we invite

00:39:14.119 --> 00:39:16.380
you all, those who are listening, we invite you

00:39:16.380 --> 00:39:20.780
to come to Wellington City at the Sky Stadium

00:39:20.780 --> 00:39:27.639
at 2027, March 27th. Good. Do you have a website

00:39:27.639 --> 00:39:32.139
for that? We do. Okay. So it is goldenbowl27

00:39:32.139 --> 00:39:40.699
.com. www .goldenbowl27 .com. Beautiful. And

00:39:40.699 --> 00:39:42.340
there's a picture of the stadium, and it does

00:39:42.340 --> 00:39:45.380
look like a bowl. And all of the seats are yellow.

00:39:45.480 --> 00:39:48.619
So I love it. This is going to be a glorious,

00:39:48.739 --> 00:39:51.619
glorious time. So we want to encourage all of

00:39:51.619 --> 00:39:54.800

are listening, I just love to say this, that

00:40:12.309 --> 00:40:15.230
Jesus loves you so much. No matter what you're

00:40:15.230 --> 00:40:18.730
going through, nothing is impossible for him

00:40:18.730 --> 00:40:22.690
to change us, heal us. I didn't mention this

00:40:22.690 --> 00:40:25.409
on the podcast, but he healed me of cancer. He

00:40:25.409 --> 00:40:29.670
healed me of a stroke. Wow. And yeah, our God's

00:40:29.670 --> 00:40:32.210
a healer. So for those who are struggling right

00:40:32.210 --> 00:40:36.159
now, with any sickness, with any disease. He

00:40:36.159 --> 00:40:39.360
is your healer. So, Lord, I just thank you for

00:40:39.360 --> 00:40:41.440
those who are listening. I lift them up to you,

00:40:41.500 --> 00:40:44.340
Lord. Touch them with your love, the greatest

00:40:44.340 --> 00:40:47.519
commandment. Lord, and touch them by your Spirit.

00:40:48.380 --> 00:40:52.000
Lord, heal them. Show your goodness to their

00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:55.559
listeners. Father, I thank you for them. And

00:40:55.559 --> 00:40:57.840
those who are not saved, those who don't know

00:40:57.840 --> 00:41:02.849
Jesus, just say this prayer after me. Dear Jesus,

00:41:03.170 --> 00:41:06.489
I believe that you died for me on the cross.

00:41:07.110 --> 00:41:27.539
Come into my life. In Jesus' name, amen. Your

00:41:27.539 --> 00:41:29.860
