Debrecen Messages #1 – Before the Beginning: The Eternal Christ Revealed

Video Transcript:

This is an important, significant, maybe even a watershed moment or day in my life. I’ve been waiting to do this for some 30 years. I’m going to be taking these men through the Scripture—the New Testament, the Old Testament—but it will be in a way that no one has ever done before, as far as I know, and it will be unique.

What’s going to come of it? I don’t know. What’s going to come of this tape? I don’t know. But welcome to this meeting—in case I’ve been dead 50 years—and I hope you’re jealous because you weren’t here.

Here’s what I want to say. Sixty years. I’ve been a Christian since I was 17. And I have waited this long to train men.

I went through my 20s. I went through my 30s. I went through my 40s and 50s without doing this. And I’m saying that in the light of movements all over this earth that have 25-year-old kids out training men.

I’m saying that in the light of men 40 and 50 years old who have all the answers and are producing worldwide movements.

When I was 30 years old, I left the organized church. I’ve spent my entire life for today. I have ministered all over the world, but I have never trained men.

I decided at the age of 30 I would wait until I was 60 before I started and hoped I’d live that long. And there’s some debate as to whether I did or not. I want you to keep that in mind.

And when you see this unfold, I want you to know that this is the culmination of an entire lifetime spent seeking after a deeper and unique understanding of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Now you don’t know the room we’re in. You can’t see how dumb-looking it is. You can’t see the outside of the house and see how obscure it is. You’ve never been to Debrecen. You don’t know what it looks like. But really, there’s nothing happening in this room today. There are three Romanians here—I can’t even pronounce their last names. They’re all young men. I may never see them again after this conference is over.

I don’t know if this conference is going to help them because that doesn’t depend on me. It depends on them and the Lord Jesus Christ. And it doesn’t matter.

Someday, somewhere, somebody is going to sit down and watch this. And it’s going to put them a lifetime ahead of anything that they could get anywhere else.

I’m going to make a statement that probably will get me hung. We’re going to be here two months. We probably will not get through a single book in the Old Testament.
