This sermon shares powerful testimonies of God's miraculous interventions, including the smuggling of Bibles into Iran, a miraculous prison escape, and the transformative power of prayer and faith. It emphasizes the unstoppable love and compassion of Jesus, the importance of obedience, and the freedom found in Christ's resurrection power.

So that it's still the same powerful Bible. From our experience, it doesn't matter what is the format, but it's still the same living Word of God. Amen. Now let me share that we still do Bibles, we print Bibles. Let me share the story of Iranian Bible. About two years ago, a little bit more, we were asked from the church in Iran, would you be able to print an Iranian Bible and deliver it into our hands, so that we can give them out to those thousands and thousands of new believers who receive Lord Jesus Christ every week in Iran today. And we felt this is good. Together with Brother Yun and the house churches in China, we have been running a huge operation to print an underground press, God's Word, the Bible. And millions and millions of Bibles we have provided for new believers in China. So we have the paper, we have the machines, we have everything ready in China. And then we have this Chinese way of doing things, as Eugene was mentioning, the copyright has no more value in China than that you just copy it right. So we just get hold of one Iranian Bible, and we just make the printing plates that was needed, and we produce this. This is an Iranian Bible. We print it in China, we loaded it into containers, sea containers, and we ship everything to Turkey, to Istanbul. And as it arrived to Istanbul, we loaded everything on the trucks, and we bring them to the border between Turkey and Iran, the land border. And then we started the smuggling operation into Iran. And praise God, it was very interesting, it was very exciting, and we succeeded. Praise God. And how do we know that we succeeded? Very simple. Four months later, one out of two Ayatollahs, the spiritual leaders of Iran, they stood up. One of them stood up at the public television, 7 p.m., Friday night, that is the holy night in Iran. And we were all surprised when we discovered that he had our Bible in his hand. And 80 million people saw a Bible, most of them, first time in their life. And this man said, this book looks so nice, red color, gold, it looks so nice, and everybody would love to look what is inside. But I warn you, do not ever open this book, it's very dangerous for you. And we have never got so much advertisement for Bibles, free of charge, in our lives. After that program, 80 million people in Iran, they started to look everywhere, where can I get that book, it must be very good. Because all the misery of 30 years of Islamic revolution had really totally raped the nation. There had been so much sorrow and problems to people that they knew if something, Ayatollah said something is bad, it must be the best thing on this earth. Praise God. So God is creating a tremendous hunger for word of God in Iran today. And we are committed as a church in China, as soon as possible, to get at least 1 million Bible into Iran. Praise God. And it takes you and I to work together and make it happen that these Bibles will come one time into the hands of the new believers. And that's why we have to change the size of the Bible a little bit. I don't know if anyone of you have seen 1 million Bible in one place any time of your life. Unless you have been working for the Kedah Knights. But it's quite a lot. So we have done many different ways we plan to get. And we also are now very firm in the plan that as soon as the Lord allows this to happen, and we are already doing it, to get in 500 Chinese missionaries into Iran. And I'm hoping that these nuclear discussions between America and Iran will be so successful and suddenly they will start to welcome Americans back to Iran. And the first Americans I want to bring to Iran are you brothers and sisters from this community to be messengers of the gospel together with the Iranian Underground Church. Let's pray for that. That is a good task for you. And I do have, or we do have, a place for you if you just do not love your life so much anymore so you don't care if you have to die. We have a good position open for you in Pakistan. Praise God. So just if you, but make sure as the church leaders that they make their testament before they leave. Because I do not can guarantee in what shape they come back. They may come back as dry bones. But the gospel will go forth. And I will close with another testimony before Brother Yun comes up. What God is doing. Two brothers. They arrived to Pakistan. And as Eugene was saying, the Chinese are so welcomed into these countries because these countries, they want to have a relationship with China. They know that China is coming to become a number one financial power. And there's a lot, so much things that you can do in China and with China. So these brothers, they had no problem to have their visas. They arrived to Pakistan. And they had a calling to go to a certain village far away from big cities to countryside. And they arrived to this village. And they talked to the village elders. And they said, is there any empty housing available here? We have come here to help you. And they also did that. First morning after their arrival, they were on the fields with the farmers. They were helping them with their goats. And they were working according to what Eugene has shared. So after they were talking a few days, the village elders said, yeah, we have this former shop that went belly up. So it's out of business. It's an empty place. Would you mind to live there? Now the reason he selected that as a housing for the Chinese, it has huge windows. So that the whole village could see what are these Chinese monkeys doing when they are inside their house. So every day they passed by and without anybody seeing, they looked in, what are they doing now? They had never seen Chinese before. How are they eating? What are they doing? But the brothers, they took good use of this. They moved close to the window. And that was the place where they worshiped God. That was the place where they were praising God and singing to the God from the morning. And that's the place where they were kneeling down because they knew up behind every tree, every house corner, there's somebody watching what I'm doing. So little by little, the people understood that these Chinese are totally different to anybody else. Prayer seems to be the very core of their existence. They seem to be praying all the time. Because when we train up the missionaries, we teach them, when you go to a new location and sent by the Holy Ghost, make sure that you pray long enough that you can draw the fire of God upon that location. And before the fire arrives, don't do anything else, just wait before the Lord and pray and worship God. So after about a month, it happened that all the goats of the village leader disappeared. He woke up one morning and he could not see one of his goats anywhere. It had never happened before, but all his more than 100 goats, they were gone. And this old man was so worried. This is the end of my life. If I lose my goats, I lose everything. And he sent young men riding on horses and looking up on the mountains everywhere. They searched for these goats for many days. And finally, they came to the conclusion that the goats had disappeared from planet Earth. They are nowhere. You cannot hide 100 goats. They make noise and they walk around. There is no way they are hidden somewhere. And finally, one evening, late in the evening, after 10 p.m., the village leader came and knocked the door of these two Chinese missionaries. And he walked into that room and he said, I'm so sorry to disturb you, but you may have heard, I have lost everything. I am poorest of the poor. I have nothing. My goats have disappeared. But I understand that you serve a different God. Would you mind to pray that my goats will come back home? And the brother said, of course, we are willing to pray. Do you want to pray right now? And the elder said, OK. And these two Chinese missionaries, they started to call upon that one name that is the solution to the problems of the whole world. He called the name of Jesus. And they said to this old man, now go back home and have a good sleep. You haven't been sleeping for six nights. Go to bed and the goats will come back. And early next morning, the whole village was awakened with laughing and shouting goats. They all came back to the village. And everybody said, this is the finger of living God. And they were open for gospel of Jesus Christ. Amen. Amen. We would have hundreds of animal stories how God is using the animal kingdom to expand. So I'm not going to share any testament about elephants or crocodiles. But anyway, I just want you to understand that Jesus that we are serving, that we say we love, is much bigger than you ever can imagine. And He can do greater things. Now, I do have to correct something. My brother was very excited about the fullness of the Holy Spirit. And that is so important. We need to be filled by the Holy Spirit. When I used the term, I said, the counseling account of the church in China is zero. I mean, compared to what it is in the West. We do counsel our people in China, but we always counsel them in prayer. We do not practice the human understanding of people's problems. We always, like Brother Yun said, ask Jesus, pray Jesus. And we learn to people, whenever you have a problem, the number one person you have to talk to about this is to speak about that to Jesus. Jesus is the answer. And even they come to see the pastor and say, I have this problem, the pastor say, let's pray together. And Jesus will answer to you. This is very healthy. And it's a very cheap way to get a solution to your problem. It doesn't cost anything. Praise God. So now it's already time to call up this time, last time, the heavenly man, Brother Yun. And he's going to share a message to us. And please remember to work hard so that we can get one million Bibles to Iran before noon tomorrow. Amen. Now let's give more welcome to Jesus with greater passion and noise. Amen. Hallelujah. Let us all stand up. Now, always when we are welcoming Jesus, we want to honor him. And that's why we stand up. That's why we welcome him standing up. Because he's the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Hallelujah. Again, remember these Chinese words I've been teaching to you. Now with the most passionate face and action, get the person know next to you that Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. This is the time. This is the day that the Lord has made. That the Lord has made. That we will rejoice. That we will rejoice. And be glad in him. And be glad in him. This is the time that the Lord has made. That we will rejoice. This is the time. This is the time. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Amen. And now say to one another, Jesus, your Jesus is resurrected from the dead. Do not fear. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Hallelujah. We are one family in Jesus Christ. Amen. Amen. At least be seated in peace like we say in China. As we were worshiping God together, as my brothers were reading from the word of God, I heard a voice of God speaking to me. And I was so touched by these young girls who were worshiping God together. I was really moved in my spirit. And I understood that next time I will come back to you, I'm totally changed man. I'm not the same anymore. When Peter was standing on the first day of Pentecost, he said that at last days, I will pour my spirit upon all people and your young men and young girls, they will be prophesizing. We have had so many meetings all over this continent of America, but this is the first time we say so many young people and children at our meetings. And my prayer is that the word that we are preaching to you will become life for you and will change each one of you because God wants to use all of you. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And the vision I want every young person to see at these churches is the vision of the coming kingdom of God. And I pray that all of you spiritually will have this revelation about how spirit of God will come upon dry dead bones. And in order for you to get excited about, you should allow opportunity for these young girls and young boys who are filled by the spirit of God that they can prophesize because their prophecies are mostly the most accurate to the audience. And for the elderly brothers and sisters, you have still all the dreams that the Lord will share with you and you can excite others with those dreams you receive from the Lord. And you may say, but the dreams of my life have not yet been fulfilled. Don't be discouraged. God is going to fulfill everything that He has spoken to you. Amen. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And I really, the Lord spoke to me, encouraged them to make room for the prophetic word that will come to them through young people and older people so that they will make a way and direction for the church where to go and what to do. Even though we have had so many people in these meetings throughout this weekend, and you have been listening all the messages, but you still feel, I am kind of like a package that they have bind, that has bind me. And now tonight is the time to cut off everything that is around you so that you will be free, set free in the name of Jesus. And let us all stand up and give all the glory to God who is going to set us free tonight. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Just because Jesus loves you. And with great voice, let us all proclaim the word of God to the atmosphere. We are chosen people. Let's proclaim that. We are holy priesthood. We are holy nation. And with a great discussion, let's proclaim, we are children of living God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. God has called for your people group. And He wants you to deliver the light to those who are still in darkness. You are on the mission to bring light into darkness. That you go and proclaim the mighty power of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. It doesn't matter who you are. The power is not you. The power is the gospel of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah. This power of the gospel, you cannot buy it. No money will buy that authority, that power. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. It comes through your faith. Let's give all glory to God. Amen. Amen. How do you believe that Bible is the living word of God? Raise up your Bible if you have your Bible. How many of you believe that Bible never changes? Amen. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Because of you believe that, your eyes will see even greater glory. Amen. Amen. And let's read together from the gospel of John and verses chapter 11. And I will read from verse 40. And if you have your Bible, do it like we do in China. Read together aloud with me. Jesus said unto her, Say I am not unto thee that if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God. Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, Father, I thank thee for thou hast heard me. And I know that thou hast heard me always. But because the people which stand by thy side said it, That they may believe that thou hast sent me. And when he had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. And he who was dead came forth, Bound hand and foot with cream clothes, And his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus said unto them, Loose him and let him go. Amen. Amen. Amen. And now again, please be seated in peace. The word of God is always alive and it is active. Amen. Amen. Let's say together, the word of God is active and has power. Amen. Amen. The word of God is not religion. The word of God is alive, it's active, it's power of God. And the Bible says, And when think about a knife of a certain doctor, He may cut and open the body of human being, And he may by doing that bring healing to a person. But the word of God is like two-edged sword, And it separates everything, spirit, soul, and body. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And my brother, you had the accident, Your hand was broken, And it started to grow together in wrong position, So the doctors, they have to break it again in order to get it right. But when the word of God come upon you, Everything goes right first time. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. The word of God can take hold of every sickness in your body. And it separates your thoughts, And it separates your spirit, And it brings healing to every part of your personality. And the word of God will also heal you from all the wounds of your memory. Every wound that you have in your soul, The spirit of God through the word of God bring healing. And it also get all the files right in your mind. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And now with great loud voice say to one another, We need more word of God. Amen. Hallelujah. Amen. Amen. And I'm only standing here as a witness for Jesus, Because of the mighty power of word of God. I have been witnessing already several times in the ministries, What I have experienced with Jesus. I want to start saying this to you all. When I was first born, First time on the transportation towards the prison, I heard the voice of Lord saying, My child, I know all the suffering what you are going through right now. And after that, I didn't end up only one time, second time, third time into prison. So I said, Lord, when is this ongoing prison going to end in my life? And then I came today when I was third time arrested in China, 1997. And some of you very curiously came to me, Brother, did they crush your, which one of your legs they crush in the prison? And I pull up my pants and I showed both of them. And when that happened to me in torture in the prison, Nobody believed that I'm going to survive this time in that top security prison. And not only that they had arrested myself, thrown to prison, My wife was captured and she was thrown to another prison for female prisoners. And I'm not a 24-7 super believer, a steel man of faith. I saw many times I was so discouraged and I lost my hope for survival. I thought this is all over, I'm never going to come out to freedom anymore. And as they tortured during the early weeks of my imprisonment, They crushed my both legs from ankles. They throw me to my solitary cell. I was just shouting question marks. Why God? Why did you allow this to happen? I am not going to be able to walk out from this place. And I tried to take hold of the promises. God has been speaking to me 13 years earlier. I said, Lord, you have promised that you will open doors for me. And a new day is going to dawn. When is that day arriving? And I was crying loud in my solitary cell to God. When is the darkness going to go away? And I see again light. And I could hardly believe anymore that God's calling upon my life. That I will be a messenger of the gospel to west and south. It's never going to happen. It's all over. Now Bible says that Jesus loved a lot Martha and Mary and Lazarus. And my situation was the same as for dead Lazarus. I knew and I know that Jesus always loves me. But my problem was, after being arrested for more than 30 times and in prison for 3rd time, I knew this is serious and I did not believe that in my condition Jesus can do anything to help me. I did not commit any crime and that was the reason I was in prison. It was all because I insisted to continue to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ. And when I was in prison this time, there were many Christians in America and they were really putting a lot of pressure from other parts of the world as well on China that they have to release us pastors who have been arrested. And they were calling help from the human rights and from political power authority. They were trying to pressure China to release me. But nothing happened in China. And a few years ago, when together with Brother Ren, we were invited to visit the Senate and the Congress of United States. The majority leaders, they told us, when you were arrested in China, we all came together and we commanded China to release you. And the Congress leaders said, we collected 107 names of the Congressmen and Senators and we all demanded China to release you, but there was no answer, no action in China. And then he said, we didn't only sign the letter, we presented that letter to Bill Clinton, your president. And we asked him, when you go and meet with China's leadership next time, you have to present this letter and demand and expect China to release these brothers who are in prison. But no man could come to my rescue. It was always, nothing happened in China. But praise God, Jesus is still resurrected from death. He's alive. Hallelujah. Let us proclaim aloud together, Jesus Christ is resurrected from death. Amen. Whatever that was, it means that Jesus is resurrected from death. Hallelujah. Amen. Jesus is the truth and the life. When people around say to you, there's no help, you have no way, you have no outcome, you have no help. Remember, there is always Jesus and He's the way, the truth and life. He will set you free. In China, we are like you, we love to pray and come in petition before the Lord. And the local church in that city, where I was in the top security prison, they decided when there was no help from anywhere else, they decided we will start fast and pray together. And the Holy Spirit spoke to this church that I am going to set free Brother Yun and he will come out. And Brother Yun is like myself, he does not only believe the authority of the government and human rights, he also believes that there is power when the body of Jesus Christ go to unison prayer. So he launched a prayer movement to pray for rescue for us who were in prison. Hallelujah. Do you believe in power of prayer? Amen. Now, it's very important when you say I believe in prayer, you have to also make sure that you don't shout so much that you don't hear what Jesus is speaking to. Already a few years ago, when we were together with Brother Ren, we visited Sweden. And we visited Philadelphia church in Stockholm. And we were sharing what God is doing in China. And I was sharing this part of my testimony. Some believers came to me and they said, Brother Yun, when that happened in China, we were in the prayer meeting midday. And as we were praying, one sister, she saw a vision that one man is walking out from the prison and now he is free. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And as we were looking into the calendar, what day and what time the miracle started to happen in China, it was exactly the moment when these 30 believers were in petition and prayer in Stockholm. And the woman, she saw me walking out from the prison. Hallelujah. And I say to one another, Jesus is alive. Amen. Jesus is alive. And just because Jesus is alive, you can face anything tomorrow. Amen. And it has nothing to do who you are. You may be unfaithful, but He remains faithful, because He cannot deny Himself. I was so discouraged in myself, in that condition, I have lost all hope. But because as an answer to the prayers and petitions of the body of Jesus Christ outside, God started to move inside my prison. And as an answer to their prayers, the compassion and the mercy of God hit me as I was lying on the floor of my solitary self. Before this miracle was unfold, at the first hours of that morning, I was complaining, I was so disappointed on God. And I said, God, you cheated me, you are not able to help me. And the warden, they were really worried about my mental condition. Look at this preacher, he is upset on his God. It's a big problem. And as I was there, and I was looking at this mocking warden outside my cell, the Lord said to me, as an answer to your prayers, that turn around and fix your eyes upon Jesus. So I turned my back towards the policeman and I started to fix my eyes upon Jesus. I was just turning around, I couldn't stand up, so I just turned around on the floor. Instead of looking into this policeman, I started to look upon Jesus. All of a sudden, I heard a voice inside me saying, And the Spirit of God came and I started to sing, Lord, you are my refuge, you are my rescue, and you will raise me up, and I will raise my head straight up in your name. Hallelujah! And of course, just a few minutes earlier, I was upset of God. And now I started to thank God and praise God. They totally were convinced he had lost his mind. He doesn't know what he really believes. Now, you may occasionally be a little bit confused in your problems. But remember, Jesus is with you in your problems. Hallelujah! I heard the Holy Spirit on-goingly reminding me, remember, Jesus loves you with eternal love. And I started to sing, Jesus loves you, and the greatest blessing in my life is the fact that Jesus loves me. It's the same for you. The greatest treasure in your life is the fact that Jesus always loves you. And as they said that I have lost my mind, I started to behave like a person who lost his mind. I just went wild for Jesus, and I was worshiping Jesus. And all the wardens, they left that part of the prison. They had been always watching me outside my cellar, and they went to their office. So the whole department was emptied of the wardens. And as I started to sing to the Lord, I had a wonderful experience. I didn't have any instrument, but suddenly I discovered that Jesus is bringing in all the heaven instruments, and He is joining my worship to Him. And I felt the presence of Jesus already, and I asked, Jesus, when is my darkness going to disappear? And suddenly, Jesus walked into my cell, and He said, My son, now is the dawn of a new day. Stand up and walk out. All the doors have been opened for you. Just walk out from your prison. This was a very serious... One way it was exciting, first I saw Jesus was standing in my solitary cell, and I was lying on the floor. It was a very tense moment. It wasn't a dream or a vision. I met the resurrected Jesus in my solitary cell. And I said to Jesus, Jesus, you may have forgotten this is a top security prison. You don't walk out from places like this. And immediately, I heard Jesus saying to me, I know, your prison is real, but I'm the truth, and the truth will set you free. And as I was still reconsidering the offer to go out, God wanted to encourage me. So I saw a fraction of a second, a vision, that my wife was rushing towards my cell, and I understood she must have been released from prison. And she was really upset, and she said to me, why have you allowed them to lock in you in the prison? Come out! And I learned again that the two Chinese words, that together means obedience, is the most important lesson for us believers to learn. And as in obedience to that powerful word of Jesus, I stood up like dead Lazarus. And as I started to walk towards my cell door, all the doors of the prison went crazy, and they opened for me, and I walked out from that top security prison. Hallelujah! And I passed numerous of these policemen with their rifles, and nobody asked anything, they didn't see me as I was passing by. And I passed the whole prison yard, and the main doors of the prison, they supernaturally opened for me, and there was a taxi with open door, waiting for me outside. Hallelujah! I don't believe, I think the rules are same in America, the taxis are not allowed to stand outside the prison doors, and wait for those escapees from the prison. It wasn't a five star hotel I was walking out, it was the number one security prison in China. Hallelujah! As I sat down at the back seat of the taxi, there was a key hanging from the mirror of that car, and as the car started to speed on the freeway, it started to move, and the Holy Spirit spoke to me through that key. And the Holy Spirit said to me, Jesus said through the Bible, from the book of Revelation, I am the truly, I am the Holy One. I have the keys of David in my hands, the doors that I open, no man is able to shut. Hallelujah! When I walked out of the prison, a lot of people asked me, who called the taxi for you? Are your legs okay? And people have many questions about this escape from the prison. One of the questions is, when did you get healed? How is it possible that with your crippled legs you were able to walk? And the other question they asked me, who did order the taxi to be there waiting for you? And what happened with my legs, in that moment, when I stood up, I totally forgot that I am actually not able to walk, so I just walked. And I am 100% sure that there was an army of angels that just changed the hinges on the doors in the prison, so they were reversed and they were opened for me. And the same angels, they ordered the taxi to wait for me. Hallelujah! And Lord, I wanted to use this personal experience to open my mind and my eyes to see the future for the gospel of Jesus Christ. And because I have experienced that the Spirit of God, what is able for God to do in our lives and in our circumstances. And God spoke to me in the same manner as I opened with my keys all the doors of the security person. I am going to open the hot doors of every person in China to receive my gospel. And I am going to do the same miracle in Buddhist world, Hindu world and Islamic world. Hallelujah! And we are not staring at the dead bones in Central Asia and in Middle East anymore. We see that Spirit of God will come upon that region and the dead bones will come together and mighty army of God is going to raise from every nation in that region. Hallelujah! And I want to prophesy to your brothers and sisters, your people are going to raise from dead and they will proclaim the power of living God. Hallelujah! And in the name of Jesus, we release you from all that is holding you back, that you are completely free to receive the fullness of kingdom of God. There are people you are still in pain and you are filled with hatred and you are filled with discouragement and failure but you will be set free tonight. Hallelujah! Now you have to recognize something. Jesus did not take scissors or knife and set Lazarus free from this religious funeral grave clothing. He set to his disciples, set him, release him, set him free. Hallelujah! How many of you want to commit your life as a disciple of Jesus Christ? Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Let us all stand up together. And let's say to this one and other, Jesus loves you and don't be afraid, He will set you free. Say this to one another. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! And now we will start to release one and other in prayer. We will create small prayer groups, three, four, five people. You come together and you start to pray for one another so that everybody is prayed for and is set free as we are together tonight. Let's do this quickly and start to build prayer teams together and we pray for one another. Thank you that your kingdom can come upon us. Lord, we release your kingdom power upon these people right now. In the name of Jesus, we set them free. Lord, we ask you to spread out your mighty right hand and set them free. I set you free from the prison of hopelessness. As you are going to be raised from the dead, a new life will come to you. The spirit of hopelessness, I command you to disappear. In the name of Jesus, we set you free. In the name of Jesus, we set you free from hopelessness. In the name of Jesus, I set you free from cancer or any sickness in your body. In the name of Jesus, I set you free from any ailing, any sickness and the fullness of hell will come back to you. Lord, through these people, this country is going to be raised up and be alive. In the name of Jesus, I bless you to become a mission nation, a mission group. I pray this all in the name of Jesus. And the young people, girls and boys, they will prophesy. And you will just like the woman of the church. Hallelujah. And Lord, you will guide the young men and young women and your spirit will guide them and lead their lives. I pray this all in the mighty name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus Christ, you are already set free. You are free in the name of Jesus. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Let us all shout together hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah, I am free. Hallelujah. Glory to Jesus. Hallelujah, glory to Jesus. Amen. Amen. And now as the final words to one another, say this. Jesus loves you, and you are already set free. Amen. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
