Well it is. Who can save you from this heart? My dear friends, I tell you, no one could have saved me from my heart. So, so many people keep looking over their shoulders, who is watching me, or who is after me, who is going to run me down, or who is slandering me, who is planning some subterfuge.

No, I have nothing to worry about. I say, hey, Joshua Daniel is your worst enemy. It's you.

It's your heart. You know, God says, my son, give me your heart. You need a heart change.

Well, let me tell you, the country needs a heart change. And you know, for the last 50 years, practically, in countries of Europe, as well as across the Atlantic, I have been holding out and preaching the word of God. God, in his mercy, has been touching men of many religions.

As a matter of fact, more than some of the church people. I find the atheists and the communists, the free thinkers, the free livers, you know, they are so absolutely bankrupt in their hearts, that they say, we want something real. We don't want a religious fad.

We don't want a whitewash. We want something real. Tell us, is it real? Let me tell you, these countries of ours can be turned around.

There don't need to be a reproach and a shame, both to ourselves and our children. My dear friends, when somebody has to pay the supreme sacrifice, just to teach some other people in some other part of the globe, how to treat their women properly, or to allow their girls to go to school, or just to treat them as human beings, and not just to treat them as creatures of the harem, when people are ready to give their lives to a cause, which says, I need to help these people. All right, you can't do it with guns and bullets.

You need something more. You know, we have gotten into this cycle of blowing things up, and then we talk about rebuilding. Who blew it up in the first place? Your greed, your venom, your national pride, or whatever you may call it.

And then you must use all your resources to rebuild what you have blown up. Alas, alas. Now, do you think we are ever going to get the measure of this new pandemic? It's, look at the perversion of people's thinking.

Oh, well, we won't change our lifestyle. We must go freewheeling. We must be able to invade anybody's bed, or anybody's bedroom.

Well, my dear friends, alas, alas, thou shalt not commit adultery. A man said to me, a principal of a school said to me, he had lived such a vile life. He said, my wife left me.

She could not live with me. I gave her syphilis. Now, when this man began to repent, alcoholic as he was, when he began...
