welcome to Dubai welcome to the Dubai city church we love you and we thank the Lord that the Lord has sent you to us so come and share over the gardens hallelujah blessed be the name of the Lord thank you so much for your kindness and thank you for the birthday wishes well I mean there are many more years to come in Jesus name praise be to God thank you thank you so much I'm blessed and honored to be here with you my dear brother Ashish Thomas I have heard a lot about the church here I know about his dedication and his wife's education for the gospel of Jesus Christ and what the when the invitation came and the opportunity arose Here I am I couldn't stay away from you thank you very very much I'm I'm blessed and I'm privileged to be here among you god bless you are and above all Jesus is here Alleluia is the king of kings and the Lord of lords we serve a mighty God Alleluia you may be seated thank you very much my background is German I am a German national my ancestors come from the East Germany which is thickly wooded I'm talking of pre-war times and my family didn't serve God at all they didn't know the Lord one day as a young man I studied the family album the family tree and discovered that my ancestors were ungodly people except for my grandfather and my father so I said to my father how did God break into the bonky family and the story my father told me struck me he said in 1922 my grandfather was very very sick he had a disease sensitive to touch rheumatism or gout oh who knows what but there every time he had to move or was touched he screamed he was writhing in pain there was no hope there was no help there was no medical help and they didn't know Jesus and the whole village could hear him scream day and night year after year and then in 1922 a miracle happened an American missionary lost his way in the forest and came to the village and instead of complaining that he had lost his way his first question was is there anybody sick in this village oh yes they said here's somebody very sick right here in the bunky house when that man his name was Lewis Graf and at the house of my ancestors he entered it like a burning torch he preached the gospel my grandfather and my grandmother received Jesus Christ and then he said the Holy Spirit has sent me for a demonstration of the power of God he took my grandfather by the hand and said in the name of Jesus rise up and walk heavenly power flow through my grandfather he jumped out of bed shaking like a prisoner watching his prison walls fall and his chains were struck office his aching body he touched his wrists there were no more thick and swollen they were suffering like those of a young man he started to cry started to jumpy started to run he embraced his wife they wept together and rejoiced and the missionary said I'm not finished yet you still need to receive the Holy Spirit and instead of giving them a long teaching he had no time to give a long teaching he laid hands on them and both broke forth speaking in new tongues as the Holy Spirit gave them utterance hallelujah I was born 18 years later because of that happening I was born to spirit filled born-again parents and I feel when that man ain't at the house of my ancestors the Holy Spirit put the thread through my needle he gob God always prepares things with a long arm we may not know it but he does and I feel in my heart the same Holy Spirit is here to threat many other needles hallelujah my father was a pastor I grew up in a godly home I got saved when I was named when I was 10 the Holy Spirit spoke to me that one day I would preach the gospel in Africa I've never seen an African never there not Germany there were no Africans at all when I was a kid I saw what the first African I saw in the United Kingdom when I was 19 years of age and I run to him and I asked him please may I have a picture with you I still got that picture I was very disappointed when he told me he came from the West Indies it was good enough I had that call from God here later Jesus feed me with a holy spirit and then through my teenage years it was a hand of the Lord that guided me until I was old enough to be accepted at the Theological Seminary and then finally who into Africa and when I arrived in Africa I found it a very tough place nobody wanted to listen to me I realised Africa had not been waiting for me sometimes a bridge to five people I was absolutely despaired I said where are the effects of the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ this cannot be aired you cut it all short one night I had a dream I dreamt I saw the whole continent of Africa in form of a map with all the islands around our Madagascar and the like and I saw how the whole continent of Africa became washed in the precious blood of Jesus I heard a voice cry I'm sure it was the voice of the Holy Spirit Africa shall be saved Africa's everything I woke up by jumped out of bed I said Africa shall be saved I'm struggling in this tiny country called Lesotho can't get five people together and now I here whole continent is to get saved and then I noticed something I made always my little plans for Jesus are to fast and pray a lot to get his blessing for my plans now I realized God had another set of plans and I realized if I leave my own plans and I connect with his plans his plans can never fail I left the suit though I moved to South Africa right next to that international airport I went to Botswana for the first meeting for the first gospel crusade because Africa was to get saved that's to cut the long story short that stadium shocked me I prayed O Lord please fill that stadium only one church was prepared to cooperate with me and the pastor said he had forty people forty and my mind played tricks on me I already saw myself with forty people in the National Stadium he said to me what do you need two stadium for for 40 people you can come to my church I said God spoke to me and he told me to rent or hire that National Stadium the first night there were 100 people was more than 40 come on hi I know for sure because I count to ten times from left to right and then from right to left then from front to back and back to front but 100 is 100 if you count the heads and not the fingers anger it I took the Bible I started to preach suddenly I have preached about 10 minutes somebody jumped up and shouted I've just been healed Wow I thought by myself this is funny I haven't preached about healing I learnt my first lesson and this was the lesson I think Jesus often times can't wait until we have finished with our boring sermons he exists to do great things here in Dubai hallelujah that night four people got healed a blind woman saw a danced a few days later that stadium was packed packed I learned so many lessons you have no idea I have no time to tell you that but I mean I've learned so much in the very first crusade that I had for the first time I saw 3,000 people jump up running forward crying tears of repentance to receive salvation and forgiveness of their sins that's what that's that's what only the Holy Spirit can do I call the Holy Spirit the master evangelist because jesus said that he and only he the Holy Spirit convicts of sin righteousness and judgment we can't do this but when we preach the gospel the Holy Spirit is in it he is he is the hand in the glove of the preached gospel all right well I experienced the first outpouring of the Holy Spirit the Lord said to me one night in the stadium tomorrow I want you to pray for the baptism in the Holy Spirit I protested I said Lord this is for a prayer meeting not for a stadium gathering the Lord rebuked me and he gave me a reason why it was for the stadium he said because in the last days my spirit on all flesh and if God means what he says and he always means what he says there is no church big enough what earth or flesh that's God's idea we have to adjust our thinking and laying it to the Word of God and then you will see how the Holy Spirit is going to lift you from face to face he will be your glory and the lifter of your head hallelujah after the first crusade I went to the next one there for the first time in my life I saw we had thirty thousand people in one meeting the next to say and get powned South Africa for the first time in my life I preached to 75,000 people in one meeting I said to my wife I was so overwhelmed I said to my wife I think this is God's maximum and then the Holy Spirit rebuked me in my heart he said to me God has no maximum hallelujah he is unimportant he's omniscient our mighty Almighty God from Cape Town I went to blunt tire Malawi for the first time in my life I preach to 150,000 people in one meeting God began to shake cities and then he began to shake missions I went to Nairobi Kenya loulou Park one has a few asana any echo and 200,000 people were there and one meeting the state president came if they me one hour before the meeting started the state president is going to come president a lot more i said he's most welcome but i haven't got a chair to offer for him we're all standing they said don't you over here bring his own chairs the state president was so moved by what he saw in that meeting he commanded that all television and all radio channels were carrying my meetings life across the whole of East Africa amen are you interested to hear this testimony impressed Wow I was so blessed now from Nairobi I flew across to Nigeria Nigeria ng's my favorite people I've I flew to the city of Kaduna for the first time in my life I preached to 500,000 people half a million I couldn't believe it that it was a fact God was now washing Africa with the redeeming blood of Jesus Christ the Son of God one night when I made an altar call I'm I kid you not I there were 90% of the people who wanted to receive Jesus Christ as their Savior let me percent over 90 percent I was so moved when we esteem we're in the hotel trying to eat dinner I couldn't eat I was so filled with the glory of God I said to my team do you know what I feel inside of me they said tell us I he said tonight I got a feeling that if Jesus keep saving souls at this rate I think one day the devil is going to sit alone in hell hello Lou I know this geologically not correct but I wished it was I'll tell you why because hey was not made for man hell was made for Satan and his angels that's what the Bible tells us so when I say when I say what I now say I want you to know that I'm not swearing I say to hell with the devil and to heaven with the paper hallelujah good lesya Lara bye son the crusade meetings began to keep growing 700,000 800,000 1 million 1 million two hundred and fifty thousand in the city of Ibadan in one meeting then we came to Lagos for the first time in my life I preach to a crowd of 1 million six hundred thousand right to the horizon we have we have loudspeakers you can believe me we have the best PA system anyone can have it goes miles I preach the gospel in high-five hallelujah that night I had a revelation every time I make an altar call for sinners to be saved I have tens of thousands of counselors in the crowd that night when 1.6 million people were there we had two hundred thousand of them were counselors we are we had thirty thousand ashes we are ten thousand police and they got all saved cream hand that night when someone wants to receive Jesus as their Savior they get the follow-up booklet cause now that you are saved that becomes a bridge from the field into the local churches and a great believer in the church evangelism must always lead into the church if not it's just a show we counted those cards that night of people who had completed this decision 1 million 93101 hallelujah we serve a mighty God I suddenly realized in one meeting Jesus did more than in the twenty years before when I arrived in one meeting in one meeting the gospel is the power of God and when the gospel is preached it becomes an event somebody said to me the your Bibles or Bible your Bible is not good news he said news I see on television at noon your Bible is good history it's good history why does the is the Word of God called the gospel is called good news because when it is preached it happens when the gospel is preached it becomes an event and people get saved that curses get broken chains are cut off marriages come back together again the sick are healed and they say it's news it happened now hallelujah I'm an evangelist I preach the ABC of the gospel and I'm proud of it it doesn't mean that I don't know the XYZ I do but evangelists preach the ABC because they have to lead the people from where they are into the arms of Jesus through the narrow door into the kingdom of God isn't that true well I'm telling you what God has done is amazing the last 10 years I'm speaking from the year 2000 to 2009 we had 55 million registered decisions for Jesus Christ 55 million Oh hallelujah fifty-five million I told that in Switzerland at a pastors conference in Switzerland I said Jesus saved 55 million people in 10 years and this was said to me brother bunky that is Africa theirs is Switzerland I said well you you're contradicting Scripture I said they said to me which scripture I said John 3 verse 16 that says for God so loved the world I say you Swiss have now to tell me whether Switzerland is part of that world John 3:16 I said if Jesus can say 55 million souls in 10 years in Africa he could save Switzerland one Saturday afternoon Ramon I want to make you hungry hungry for God and for the Holy Spirit hungry to go when Jesus has go because Jesus doesn't sit with Siddhas but he goes with goers and he works with the workers go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature we've got to get moving and he will move with us isn't that true Wow I've got more to tell you but I have to I I think I better start with the preaching are you blessed I will yeah what touches my heart here tonight and I believe the law wants me to speak about this is how progressively the Lord changed my own understanding of his word he gave me secrets which are actually no secrets but I had never seen it and I had never heard it preached and when I was in the school of the Holy Spirit and we were going to teach me ie I was a totally different man and I wished I could take every one of you by your hand and lead you from B to C from C to D and you know the alphabet is long but there is a Z there is a Z and the Lord will bless you the alphabet of God is from Omega from alpha to Omega a man the beginning and the end and I'm turning to Mathew I told you already about this the guy who said this the Bible is good history not good news and you heard me say what or what I said to him somebody else came to me and a boy of 17 or so still at high school he pointed to my Bible when I came out of a meeting and he said to me preacher I don't like your book I said why not he said your book is 2000 years old I didn't tell him it's actually older he said your book is 2,000 years old and I am 17 he said I don't like to live by such an antique book it's it's I'm I left a date I want to be modern there are there are different rules today I want to be modern I love young people I've got eight grandchildren I put my arm around him his shoulder the Sun was shining I said young man have a look at the Sun I said the Sun this also is actually very much older than 2,000 years I said the Sun is much older than 2,000 years but although the Sun is so old very old it is very hot I said and the Bible is very old but is very powerful hey man praise God now I lost my scripture again Matthew 28 the last verses of this wonderful gospel and this is what it says I read from verse 18 and Jesus came and spoke to them saying all Authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth go therefore and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit teaching them to observe all
