Guest Speaker - Nick Vujicic

holy is hi everyone how you doing [Applause] I want to thank Pastor Mark Ramsey so much for opening God's house here and beautiful Mansfield welcome if this is your first time to this church I am so thrilled to see a full house in this building and I really hope that no matter what degree of knowledge that you have with God today or you've known of him but you don't know him I just pray that tonight's testimony and the preaching of the gospel draws you closer to him I am so so honored to be a servant of the Most High God and I am confident in his power and his love until death and I am thrilled to share with you how he changed my life and I was born in Australia in Melbourne and then at 12 years old we moved to Brisbane and then at 23 God tapped me on the shoulder and said it's time for you to go around the world and be based out of California I'd like to share with you a family photo this is my family her name is Connie Emmy and my wife we've been married now for seven years yep there she is and we have [Applause] we have four children our hands are full Kiyoshi on the left his six down on the right his three and then Olivia nalli there's another photo now of a closer they're now 17 months old which is so incredible they darling they're beautiful and God willing this year at the end of this year or next year will be the year that they all come with me to Australia and I am really really thankful oh yeah there's the big screen sure you want to rewind then for the other one real quick I mean it's not hard to look at right so we've got so Connie is she's half Japanese half Mexican we call that Japs akin that's better and then the next photo and then real quickly since we're doing some photos that's Olivia Nelly and I'll be seen in a couple weeks but really quickly I want to think there I know there are people in this room who prayed for me I know last time I came here was o6 but I don't know if anybody knows this but it was around 2003 that I tried to actually rent out this room to then have a camera crew and record me speaking to record a DVD that goes around the world and I paid for finger food for 2,000 people and we had a hundred people rock up and none of the footage could be used and God used that in this building check this out to say it's time to go to America and on the way out of this building right over there there was a woman who came up and she said God's gonna use you to reach 1 billion souls and I'm like okay I want to show you this photo this is in Ukraine this is in September 2017 there are 800,000 people there 400,000 gave their life to Jesus but if you paid attention to the numbers of the video by the grace of God we have reached 730 million with the gospel and this is how we do it by the grace of God not only were there 800,000 people there but 26 countries were watching at the same time in 20 languages so we actually preach the gospel to 50 2.7 million people in a day and so we are so thankful I just want to say thank you to anyone here in this room who I know that you prayed for me since I started at age 19 and real quickly one last photo April 2017 was the year that I got to talk to the 10th government I was able to talk to this time though was pretty significant as you can see this is everyone but the president in Ukraine ok this is the Senate the house representatives can you notice they're not on their chairs they're on their knees and while they were on national live TV they asked God to forgive Ukraine of their sins and to heal their land and to help the government honor God in everything they do [Applause] you know I love it when people see me for the first time and they look at me with no arms and legs and they say but you're different I just want you to know I'm not and not from two different angles but to understand that God can use any willing heart if God can use the man without arms or legs to be his hands and feet then God can use certainly anyone can he hear an amen and I want you to know that I actually believe it's worth being in a broken home than having no arms and legs and the beautiful thing I want to tell you a couple things before I get into it the beautiful thing about our history is if you break that word up to his story and when he is the author and perfecter of your faith I had no idea that God would send me around the world to reach millions of people when I was born they had no idea that I was going to be born this way and you know the doctor said that I wouldn't walk and the doctor said I'm going to go to school no one only did I go to school but I can now type 53 words a minute on a normal computer after two cups of coffee I went to Griffith University Logan campus got a double degree in accounting and financial planning went into the stock market went into real estate and then went to California and I want you to know something that in my life many people look at me and first of all I want you to know it's not about what I did with my broken pieces so many people say well all you need is just to be positive I feel like head-butting them in the face I'm a positive person because I know the truth and the truth has set me free the truth of three things the truth of my identity and valued the truth of my purpose and the truth that God does have a plan for me and it's a good plan and not a bad plan Jeremiah 29 verse 211 for I know the plans that I have for you declares the Lord plans to prosper you not to harm you plans to give you hope and a future can you turn me down a little bit please thank you so much and what I want you to know is that we all have broken pieces and when I was the kid going to school I never thought that when you didn't get a miracle that you could still be a miracle for someone else and I want you to understand that in your history through your broken pieces there's nothing that we do without regret our pain our fear our anxiety our addictions the lost in our life all these things we can't do anything with that but when you give your broken pieces in the hands of the one who could do all things that's where miracles happen and I'll never ever forget that when I was 24 years old I saw a little boy with no arms and no legs in a crowd in California just like me little foot and everything and I'm looking at him and I'm like wow I want to wrestle him later on and he's looking up at me and and I'm looking down at him and I give him a high-five and I can't get my I'm sorry I can't give him a high-five so a game lo2 and it was so awesome he was smiling everyone was crying his mom came up and she hugged me I mean can you imagine when I was at school in Melbourne Australia getting bullied and teased in depression attempted suicide at age 10 how much of a miracle that would have been for me if I met a 36 year old man who has no arms and no legs who's a speaker a wife and four kids and the joy of the Lord how much of a miracle that would be if that my parents met another set of parents who had children like me and when we didn't get that miracle we could be that miracle and I'm telling you man I can't wait to go to heaven no for arms and legs but for the devil to be done every power and principality and power of Darkness to be done number one to see Jesus all in that I love that I can't wait to see Jesus but man this little boy Daniel I went to his school he was getting bullied and teased so I went to his school in my wheelchair I ran them all over no I didn't have salt what Jesus would do but I went to his school and I didn't run over anyone deliberately and I spoke there about love and no one teased anyone in fact that school and two other schools in America have been Nick for a church holiday where bullying stops altogether and I want you to know that now is the guy looking back I want you to know that if you've had an alcoholic abusive father I don't know how that feels and I'm sorry that you had an alcoholic abusive father but if we really believe in Jesus and we find the truth the truth would set us free and our value our purpose and our destiny in him and we can help someone else who's depressed or even suicidal because of their alcoholic verbally abusive or whatever abusive father and you can tell him hey I know how that feels but Jesus has a plan hold on to God and God will take your broken pieces and do something beautiful because that's what he did with me I'm no different than you and we all have different things on the outside and circumstances but it's the disabilities of the ha and when you go by faith and not by sight when you look at that word disabled D is a be led you put a Gio in front of it and it spells God is able to to do what if he's in 320 he can do exceedingly abundantly more than you can ever ask imagine or attain when I was the kid I went to school and all the kids would look at me hey real quick put your hand up if you've never heard me speak face-to-face awesome put your hand up put your head up if you have let me see the other huh okay cool 60/40 ready so sometimes kids will look at me and they'll be like what happened I just tell them cigarettes and and I used to go to school and I come home and I say mommy dad I don't wanna go to school whine up because they're chasing me don't worry God loves you he's gonna plan for you you're special and I'm like I don't wanna be oh I wanted arms or legs and they're like well you don't just be yourself and God's gonna help you along the way to make friends so I took humour a little bit firing my adulthood as well because you know I don't know if you've seen the YouTube video of me dressed up as the pilot greeting the passengers as they get on the plane it was so awesome I told him that we've got some new technology and and as people were coming on I was like good morning my name is captain Nick Voight's welcome aboard and then they were all on the plane and then I walked on the plane like this and you look down the aisle and everyone's heads like this and so I got there I got the microphone and said good morale is gentleman thank you so much reporting students are so fast and they're like oh my gosh and all their heads like this and some people gave their life to Jesus right they were there the funniest story I was in a car one day with the with the traffic lights and his girls looking at me I'm looking at her all she sees is my head so I just do this and her face was like so good so my parents said be thankful for what you have it's hard to be thankful for what you have when everyone seems to have more God has a plan what's the plan can God do all things Church can God do all things do you know that I've actually seen third seen blind people seeing deaf people hearing lame people walk and crooked backs come straight and in fact in 2002 in Brisbane I had an orthopedic surgeon we had an MRI because I had kind of like a pinching of a nerve down my back I couldn't feel my left arm and I went to get an MRI and he came out with the results and he said I have some bad news I said what's the bad news he said you were born with the very rare disease I said yeah I know that he said no you have a hollowing in your spine he said it's the syrinx I said what's that he said by age 35 45 years old your spine is right now deteriorating it's a degenerative rare disease where your spine turns into nothing by age 35 45 we're gonna put have to put metal rods in your back and you'll be basically on your back and you won't be able to start you won't be able to walk and you'll have to start living life differently I had three holes in my spine 2012 I was already in California I got a checkup 2002 three holes 2012 two holes and the doctors like this is the syrinx I know what this is but I have no idea how we went from three holes to two and I'm like mm-hmm two years later one whole nine months later no holes but that's not gonna change your life you're not gonna go home and say well I can't believe that God healed his back but I want you to have seen miracles the reason why I'm not an atheist is because I have been gone I have been traveling on 2,500 planes five million kilometres it's only 36,000 kilometers around the world try five million kilometres seven hundred cities half a million hugs my arms fell off and when you go to those cities where there's no medical stuff and someone has cancer I've met the family that has a witch doctor and they had cancer and then they do a ceremony with the blood of animals and you see voodoo witchcraft black magic it's real and science can't explain and when you see a demon you ain't atheists after that that's why I'm not an atheist because I know what I've seen and I've seen the power of God and I've also seen the dark side that science can't explain but this bigger question of God's plan for me number one question if God loves us why is there pain in the world God then if you also can change my circumstance then give me arms and legs do you see my Bible up on this stage this is the journey of my life encouragement that brings me closer to what God wants for my life his ways his thoughts his plans his strength but then the lies that take you away Heaven Hell God the devil you're ugly you'll never be anybody just give up God's not real you'll never get married even if you got married you can't even hold your wife's hand even if you've got kids you can't even hold your kids when they're crying you're never gonna get a job nothing you're just a burden to everyone and that's when I attempted suicide at age 10 I hung around for a couple of for years wandering to see what would happen and my life started changing at age 13 I was playing soccer and I was on the field and my friend here in Brisbane kicked the ball to me and you know when something's coming for you and he doesn't matter what you do you're dead I had that feeling so I jumped up in the air and I did this karate kick kick in the air and my foot bent on itself backwards and I heard a key and I was like and my foot went on my bed looking at the ceiling I'm thinking man I'm gonna be starting to be thankful for my little foot instead of being angry for what I don't have do you know the happiest people of all are those who are thankful who understand that heaven Israel and that you can even be thankful when your mum dies or when your dad dies my dad died two years ago of cancer is 63 my first cousin died at 27 my other first cousins first son died within two days for every person that is born dies in case you didn't know and I want you to know that we are not supposed to be here forever that yes heaven is real and my arms and legs are waiting up there and I wanted to believe in heaven I wanted to believe I'm a citizen of heaven passing through I wanted to believe that Jesus died for my sins because I knew that no matter how hard I tried I know that I can't be someone who steals something and not be called a thief someone who lies once and then not be called a liar someone who sins once and not be called a sinner I knew I was a sinner I knew that I couldn't go to heaven because only perfection was there up there waiting for me but how am I gonna get up there on my own merit I wanted to believe in Jesus I wanted to believe in heaven but I wanted logic faith in God is actually extremely logical and I want you to know something I'm gonna explain to you my journey of the questions ready question number one if God is the God of love then why is there pain when we read in the Bible Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden they had no pain they had no death I had no disability and sickness are you with me then when the snake came in and he said something different than God and they believed him that's when all that stuff came are you with me okay then the second logical question is if God is a loving God then he knew all these bad things would happen because he allowed the serpent in then why did he allow the serpent in the Garden of Eden good question here's the answer as you read the Word of God God gives three things to Adam and Eve he gives them life he gives them hope and he gives them free choice if God didn't allow the serpent in the Garden of Eden I could intellectually argue that God never gave Adam and Eve free choice he had to present a choice for them to choose otherwise they never had a choice are you with me so then how did that all happen and here until now wait a second Nate what about all the people that I know who are really good people why can't they go to heaven that's my third question good question so let's go to the extreme and go to the person who rapes my daughter should they be and they're never sorry should they be a neighbor of me in heaven no why because that that doesn't seem right does it it doesn't seem just if we all a here and you can do whatever you want and we just go to the same place there's no fairness do you agree so then how good is good and how bad is bad it's like you go to the grocery store okay and you get a product and you give it to the cashier and she gets your parang a bit five bucks comes up on the screen what do you have to pay five bucks you can give them five bucks and then you take the product and you walk out you with me if the product thing goes bit five bucks you give two bucks and you say I hope it's enough guess what she's gonna say sorry buddy who sets the rules someone who set the rules says it's five bucks you data file okay good eternal life product metaphorically speaking the wages of sin is death Adam and Eve didn't have to die until they sinned in the Old Testament they sacrificed animals for the atonement of sin of the with the blood of the animal and then Jesus came New Testament died once and for all now if me and Mark of friends here in Brisbane and I'm driving in Brisbane and then I go speeding and then a cop pulls me over and gives me a $500 fine because I'm speeding and mark pays the fine then I'm good to go yes when I get the product of eternal life death Jesus comes up and says I'll pay for that and he if he had sin in his life then he would have to die for his sin but he was perfect this is how Jesus said himself apart from everyone else he said he was God he was perfect he raised other people from the dead he died for my sins and he rose again I love the fact about this life that we can choose to believe in whatever we want I can believe in this table if I want and I'll tell you when I was 12 years old in Melbourne a woman came up to me in the airport she said were you born this way I said yes she said have you ever wondered why I said yes she said well I know why and I'm thinking interesting a stranger's gonna tell me why I was born this way when my doctors don't know I was born this way my parents don't know I was born this way lady gaga don't know what I was born this way and she said you're a perfect example of reincarnation and I said what's that she said in your previous life you were a very very bad boy and now you're being punished and I'm thinking what do I say - I say thank you so much she said but don't worry because in your next life you're gonna come back like a butterfly I'm thinking that sucks do you know how many butterflies I've killed in my wheelchair I don't want to be a butterfly and the amazing thing is this is as you go around the world you get to see the other religions and I want you to know for me I wanted to know why was I born this way and in John chapter 9 when I was 15 I read that Scripture and I gave my life to Jesus a man was born blind and Jesus was coming through the village with all these people around him trying to test him and stuff and some other people disciples and they came up and they asked Jesus Jesus why was he born that way wasn't it because that he sinned that he was born that way wait a second doesn't sound like reincarnation or was it that his parents sinned that made him this way he said neither of that it was son so that the works of God would be revealed through him Jesus spits and it puts the mud on his face and when they're done with the facial he sees what changed me was that Jesus didn't sit the blind man down and say hey my name is JC I'm the healer and we're gonna put mud on your face and when we're done you're gonna see that's not what happened he's still can you imagine being blind I mean you're a tomb and then someone starts to put mud on your face yeah hey whoa whoa whoa time out either knew that be still and know that I am gone and that 15 I said God you healed the blind man heal me please keep me arms and legs if you give me arms legs I'll go all around the world and I'll tell the whole world that you live I'll go in me presents I'll go on Oprah Winfrey Show guys I've already met 18 presidents I've already been on The Oprah Winfrey Show and you know the coolest thing is what I tell him I believe they believe me why because when they see a man without arms and legs the way he is with the joy that the world can't understand with the strength that the world can understand now do I have a pair of shoes in my closet just in case god says yes of course I do I do it would be really cool but if he doesn't it's okay because in our existence we have our soul spirit mind then body we're always looking for the tangible things any eight nine ten year olds at the front give me

that fell off you understand me well you know I'm a Christian but you know I'm okay to say the F word for now right is that okay well actually black and white it's written in the Bible saying the F word and bad language is a sin in fact if you study PETA when he denied Jesus the first time he was asked do you know Jesus he said no the second time do you know Jesus he said no do you know what he did differently on the third time to convince people he used the f-word [Music] just because everyone else around you is doing it doesn't mean it's okay sex is made for marriage not before marriage not even outside a marriage in marriage that's how God made sex for marriage and I want you to know something oh I go to church with my boyfriend or my girlfriend and we love the Lord and I know we're gonna marry each other good then get married my tween girls are never gonna be looking for a boyfriend they will be looking for a husband they will be looking for a man of God they will be looking for a man of God and you want to know how I will know if he's the man of God how he treats my daughter and if he cannot hold and abstain and wait to marriage it is the dishonor before the Lord and my sisters if he cannot honor God before you get married how do you think he honors God once you get married money drugs sex alcohol pornography fame and fortune if you put your happiness in temporary things your happiness will be temporary when you're a speaker in front of 650 sex slaves sold into slavery for $700 some saw by their own mother what do you tell him about hope my question tonight Brisbane is do you have hope what is it and if you have it if it's real it may better fit in for everyone equal opportunity for hope if it's real do you not agree so what do we tell these girls be positive reincarnation better luck next time be good do good Goods gonna happen I'm not a Christian because someone told me to be a Christian I'm a Christian cuz I did my research he called my heart I responded I'm not gonna tell these girls be X Y Z I'm looking to name religions but listen very carefully can you imagine I've done my research now especially evangelizing in 70 countries to 8.5 million people one religion that I can't tell them to be is do this religion all you need to do is keep 660 Commandments hopefully you get in that's one big religion I'm struggling personally with 10 another religion actually their own national religion where else that already makes sex slaves or prostitutes or even disabled people already an outcast another religion is that all you need not 600 see get about that four hundred four hundred or rules only and and and and and then if you want a fast rap just kill that person from that religion and you'll get a fast rate no joke major major religion you know three no one knows this year in Australia I went to Southeast Asia sixty thousand people gave their life to Jesus Christ we got an email from someone saying if you ever come back to my country and we see another sixty thousand people give their life to Jesus Christ in a week I personally will kill you two years later oh five went back to that country now the sixty thousand people gave their life to Jesus Christ got an email from the guy said I came there kill you but I gave my life to Jesus Christ his face and I saw these girls find Jesus and you go through this amazing rehab and 12 months later they're redeemed they knew they know the truth of their value they know the truth of their purpose and they know the truth that God has a plan and you know what happens after 12 months they find a job not for a car not for a house not for nothing they save up 700 bucks and they go back to the brothels where they were once a slave with the bucket of water and a white towel and they knock on the door of the house where they used to be one of six slaves in that house and a pimp opens up the door and says who are you she says I used to be your slave you used to abuse me but I found Jesus and I want you to know that you have everything on the outside your body is good you have health you might think that you give money to charity sometimes which actually they do to make sometimes themselves feel better but your soul is lost and I'm praying for your soul and I found Jesus and he forgave me of everything I've done wrong and he made me new and I've been praying for you and I forgive you what I forgive you he forgave me of everything Who am I not then to forgive you of the sins against me I'm gonna wash your feet and they wash their feet then he's 700 bucks give me another 10 year-old I'm taking her home they adopt that little girl she finds Jesus they get a job together they save and rescue another one and another one and another one and another one if that's not Redemption if that's not Redemption you know the last reason is why people don't give their life to Jesus it's this last thing I'm gonna tell you snake it can't it can't be that God can just forgive my sin it's too easy well let me ask you if I give you a million dollar check are you gonna complain about going to the bank to cash it in but you don't know what it took for me to get the million bucks we're talking about the sacrifice of Jesus it's a gift he did it all to receive we receive no Nick you have no idea I have too much sin no no after the 650 slaves went to a house about this width of a house and a woman on the floor no Joe she's like this sitting down and she's tremoring and she's hunched back like this and all the old gods on the wall that they're burning incense to and stuff and I'm talking to her about Jesus and she's listening and she can't even do dishes like this sitting on the floor bones skin and bone nothing all ninety a hundred hundred and ten I would believe you and all of a sudden this beautifully dressed up woman comes in crossing her arms like this who are you said I'm Nick what do you want I'm here to talk about Jesus she said I'm sick of you white people coming in here talking about this Jesus you can't even show me his power get out of my house right now we had cameras with us to get out of my house right now with your cameras leave right now or show me the power of God this videos about to come out on YouTube this year guys and this is what happens mister what do you mean show me his power she said do you see that woman she's my sister see that door she hasn't walked out that door for four and a half years look at her she's frail she's dying if he's real show me make her walk now so I said a little prayer to God is that God just in case you're not aware of what's going on I'm about to pray for this woman who apparently has some War for four and a half years you know I've seen 12 miracles so you're not testing my faith you know I have faith please come we pray and they said get up in the name of Jesus and she couldn't walk said no let's pray again we're praying again sitting on a chair and all of a sudden she went like this in a second to this whoa and I'm like what and she said in a language electricity electricity electricity her hunchback was gone her tremor was gone Paul eyes were sharp looking right into me I'm like awesome she said let me walk and you know what I said no no no we need to pray a little bit longer it's in that funny the Evangelist pays for the paralyzed woman and she says she's ready and the Evangelist says no you know that means I had a mustard seed of faith guys a mustard seed of faith that's all you need you can put oceans of faith in your intellect in your next relationships in your bank account in your real-estate investments in blah blah blah blah blah I can't care less because stuff fails you people fail you but God never fails does God always heal a paralyzed woman no just God always heal a limbless body no just God always heal some with cancer no because in the end we go home and His grace is sufficient but that day she got healed and she started jumping up and down on these skinny little legs unthinking honey don't break the legs that God just healed all right that's abuse right there and she is crying and punching in the air and the friend who took me that he said I can't believe it I said what he said I didn't want to tell you who that woman was to sit who was she he said probably the most woman you'll ever meet in your life I said who who was she what did she do he said you know the 250 houses that I showed you where all the slaves are turn 50 said yeah in the 1960s all of that city block was nothing she started that she started human trafficking she's probably responsible for at least 40,000 slaves she was the one who recruited the kidnappers 40,000 saves later and a limbless man from Australia prays for her before she knows what's going on a loving compassionate God that has no bounds of love no sin can separate you from the love of God healed her two weeks later not then not the next day nothing next day he took her two weeks to give a life to Jesus Christ and when she asked Jesus to come into a heart did he yes because he came for the Lost and when she ODS was the forgiveness of the sins that she's done did God forgive touch yes he did even better the Bible says he forgives and forgets so what sin do you have pornographic addiction do you think that's gonna stop God's love for you and wrong law what lies are you believing you can say to those lies [Music] talk to the foot cuz the ears ain't listening and you turn around so I don't want that stuff I don't want to send anymore I don't want my plane I want your plan I don't want my stress I want your strength I don't want my intellect I want your plan your wisdom your strength your endurance your grace your mercy your forgiveness your Holy Spirit help me God to believe in these next verses Romans 8:28 all things come together for the good for those who love Him who have been called according to his purpose as Isaiah 40 verse 31 those who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength as she amounts up on wings like eagles Philippians 4:6 and 7 be anxious for nothing but in everything with prayer and petition with Thanksgiving present your requests to God and let the peace of God that surpasses all understanding guard your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus I have seven or eight verses and I know off by heart because when I go through storms as a Christian when I go through depression sometimes as our Christian [Music] I couldn't care less if the Prime Minister is Christian or not I wonder how many Christians actually in Australia read this from Monday to Saturday [Music] I wonder how many Australians know how to pray for more than three minutes I don't speak in tongues not putting it down do you pray some of you teenagers think you're Christian because you go to church on Sunday and then you tease them gossip at school on Monday you don't know God it's hard when you go to sleep tonight and if you don't wake up here ah you saved ah I I will be there will you tonight I want to give you an opportunity to respond to say yes God forgive me of my sin I am a sinner come into my life and fill me with your Holy Spirit I don't want my plane I want yours I know I'll never be perfect but I know your love never changes and as you hunger and strive he will help you one day to talk do you know him or do you just text him when you need him do you have Jesus in your house as the guest you put him in this nice little room upstairs and you go and see him three times the year or once a week and you kind of talk to him mostly when you need him what kind of a friendship is that do you have a friendship we cheat what a friend we have in Jesus but have we engaged the friendship because for as long as we own our lives we lose sense for as long as you hold the key to the front door of your house when the devil comes knocking the guests of your house never opens the door it is the owner for as long as you are the owner when the devil comes knocking you'll be opening but when you give you the key to Jesus and say Jesus I want you I live for you I'm done living for me here is the key lead me guide me I'm out of the driver's seat drives me take me help me he own me take my depression take my anxiety some of you forty eight-year-old women are still disabled by what your father told you when you were nine years old you haven't gotten Christian counseling yet you can't just pray things away you need counseling and surrender to God every single day it's understanding that it starts with the soul in the spirit and the mind but it's I him the key he didn't come for the heal they came for the broken
