"Wow, thank you. Wow, what a great church you have here. Like, you know, you can measure the strength of a church by the power of its prayer team. And to see all those people praying there, man, I went over there and I got prayed for and I just about fell straight on the backside, you know. So, look, Jesus, the name of Jesus, there is no greater name. The spiritual realm is real. Whether you believe it or not doesn't change the fact that there is a battle going on in the spiritual realm. And you know what? The name of Jesus is more powerful than anything. We never need to worry about Satan or all these sort of things because the name of Jesus is far more powerful. The blood of Jesus is far more powerful." [00:46:46] (48 seconds)
"There was no man involved in his creation other than the Holy Spirit. And so he was born without sin. Yet he faced everything that we face and showed that there is a way of victory. And our victory is not on us having to overcome that but allowing Jesus to be our Lord and Saviour and our ambassador and the one to go before us. So this is the cross on the top of the mountain. When Paul came out it was quite amazing. He was an amazing blessing. He and the team that came out that morning we'd found out from the engineer how much the cross was going to cost. and they said at that time $300,000 and I'm like you're kidding I don't have $300,000 and I was you to give it in case you're going to get the cross and have" [00:48:10] (50 seconds)
"I'm feeling overwhelmed because I have taken over the helm. And the key is in life, if you're feeling overwhelmed, and especially if you're a Christian, the thing is you have taken over the helm. And all you have to do is hand it back and say, sorry, Lord, now back to you. And so this is the key in that name of Jesus. So when we're up there, the Aboriginals had this vision to build this cross. It's 20 metres high. And I don't think God ever fully tells you what you're going to have to deal with before you deal with it. Or otherwise, you probably wouldn't turn up sometimes." [00:49:33] (38 seconds)
"But I'm telling you, our Lord is more than able to do all things. In the end, that cross cost over $2.5 million to get on top of that mountain. But you know, God is not short on anything. If he's given you a vision and it's his will, he will provide. Now, let's get on to the journey of Jesus. But that's out there. That was the launch of the cross. But you know, Paul was there when it was just a vision. And they must have thought, this is crazy. We're going to get a cross built. And to build a cross in Australia, in the heart of the nation, the Aboriginal people, there's revival going on. Like, I believe we're in the times where the Holy Spirit revival is coming. It's get ready because it's going to be like a powerful wind that's coming. And he's out there with the Aboriginals. And I'll talk about that some other time. But I want to talk now about, here we go. Let's press that button. Oh, it's, ta-da." [00:50:11] (63 seconds)
"So they're going to talk about Jesus because I did this book because I wanted people, when I became a Christian, I came the hard way. I recommend you don't do that way. I think it's a much better idea just to say, okay, Jesus, if you're real, let me, I'll say, okay, Lord, if you're real, show me who you are. Because Jesus can definitely show you who he is. If he can't, why would you want to follow him? You know, he's a supernatural person, Jesus. So I did this book because what happened is I wish people had actually shown me all the evidence of the reality of the journey of Jesus. Because often I was told, oh, it's just a faith thing. You've just got to have faith. Yes, you have to have faith to a certain degree. But when you see all the evidence of where Jesus was and where he walked and the places, and the Aboriginals really taught me something very good on how to sense the reality if someone's been there because they believe the land is like a recorder of the passing of humanity." [00:51:14] (65 seconds)
"And so what happens, it leaves an impression. I'm telling you, some of the places where I went, you could sense that Jesus was definitely really there. So let's go on to the next one. Here, I think they've worked it out." [00:52:30] (13 seconds)
"See, Jesus was very smart. He didn't have technology. He just got on a mountain and handled 5,000 people and away he went and more. So we're going to start with Mary going to a well. So this is the well where Mary would have gone to draw water. So Mary's a 15-year-old girl and she goes to get water and an angel appears to her and says, you're favoured among all women. You're going to give birth to the Son of God. You'll call him Jesus, which means saviour, which is the, and so 15-year-old girl, all of a sudden's going, hello, I've got a boyfriend called Joseph. How am I going to get that one through to the keeper? And, you know, could you imagine being a guy and some girl you're going out with comes up and says, guess what? I'm pregnant. What? And you haven't slept together because in those days there's no hanky-panky or you could be in big trouble with the Jewish faith." [00:52:43] (60 seconds)
"And so what guy's going to believe that? She's saying, well, it's the Holy Spirit did it, you know, like it's a really hard one to get through. But an angel appears to Joseph in a dream." [00:54:03] (12 seconds)
"What I'm trying to show in this book and today is to remind you that it's not about just religion, it's about reality, it's about relationship, it's about the supernatural." [00:54:45] (11 seconds)
"But my wife said, no, you should go. And I said, oh, okay, I'm going, you know. And so I went there and I did my speech. And actually, it was really good fun anyhow. And then I saw a man there who had a stand on Egypt. And so I thought, I'm going to go and ask him about Egypt and see if he knows about the Holy Family." [01:00:26] (19 seconds)
"And so I went and saw him and I said, look, I know this is going to sound funny, but I've got this fascination with following the Holy Family through Egypt. Would you happen to know where they went? And he just went, are you kidding? I'm saying, yeah, I know. I'm obsessed with that journey of Jesus. I'm a Muslim, but I am obsessed with the journey of Jesus. In fact, I brought all this information. Like, he's pulling out all this information about where they've gone and what they've done. He said, man, what are you doing? And I said, I'm doing a book on the whole, following the footsteps of Jesus. He said, well, I'll take you. I'll take you. And so the next minute, here we are going off with Safwat over to Egypt to follow the footsteps of Jesus." [01:00:54] (42 seconds)
