"you see there are certain sticking points in our nature, and one of those strong sticking points is pride. you might well ask yourself, why am I so proud? is it is there any real cause, and can I just leave EEP route, you will find that the greatest people are the humblest people, and they are ready ready to listen and ready to learn, now that is a quality that true meekness and douse you with." [00:06:28]
"I feel the humbler I get the stronger I am, the more broken in spirit I get, the greater the power of God flows into me, so I need that broken spirit that I need that meekness of heart, you know my dear friends we're all we used to have in our prep school weekly ranking system, the principal of the school used to read out our ranks before the whole assembly." [00:08:13]
"the Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken spirit says the Bible the Lord is nigh unto them what to have the all-powerful God just get head close by what assurance that gives me oh my dear friends I don't know how many of you lost a dad early no I lost my dad when I was 35 when I was just getting a little wisdom slowly." [00:12:02]
"after having heard some of the greatest preachers in the world, I said to myself hey none of these men have the depth of daddy, they don't have that clarity of a walk with God, they're great expositors there they're great Bible students yes but they don't have that practical walk with God, so I began to value my father at last." [00:13:28]
"I knew that I did not know, I knew that I could not do it, I knew how inadequate and thrilled I was and therefore my eyes got fixed upon Jesus, some of you may not have passed through some of these experiences and so you feel quite equal to anything I presume but let me tell you that the Lord Jesus is particularly sent to those who are of a broken spirit." [00:17:42]
"you know the delusion which pleasure and property gives us today, in Australia is a guy is a country given much to games, were in Switzerland where they have a very high level of living, you know, and not be made very welcome and Switzerland because there don't Switzerland's chief industry now is tourism perhaps, yet they're always suspicious I found of strangers." [00:19:35]
"and I want to tell you my dear friends that's not the very best way to learn because the final knock may come before you have learnt a thing, he had sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, so I don't believe that anybody here has any business to complain or to grumble, all you have to do to have everything fixed used to be of a broken heart." [00:21:18]
"our revival is a cleansing a deep cleansing a repentance toward God, getting right with your neighbor, restoring the money that you owe to the IRS, that is repentance that is revival I don't see that going to the offended spouse and saying sorry, humbling oneself that is revival, just mere talk or an emotional high." [00:26:42]
"to proclaim liberty to the captives and the opening of the prison to them that are found in this day and generation that we have a world which is at such sixes and sevens, a confused civilization, a dying civilization, worthy of not even a decent burial, and then we moral civilization which does not even want to acknowledge what is that the root of the problem." [00:28:43]
"and here God says to proclaim Liberty to the captives are we doing that, hold the prospect of liberty you know I find many Christians alike a bunch of escaped convicts you know a bunch of your scaped convex they have to lay low you know there can't be out looking people the cops in the eye, you and I should be able to look any man in the eye." [00:31:46]
"and when you say you follow Jesus you should be imbued with that spirit and nothing less, you know with all our education and our way of glorified our education and our lifestyle too much our lifestyle is just a little kind of empty dream, it does not produce anything except more fighting more arguments more divorces more instability and families and in character." [00:34:09]
"a Christian is a very gracious person, a very loving person he walks the second mile with you, let us apply the Spirit of Christ to our conduct, then we will be able to declare true freedom and bring true freedom to those around us today the world seems to have imprisoned itself and thrown the keys away, wood splitter are you." [00:37:33]
