This Man Reveals Keys to Supernatural Healing - John Mellor. Shalom,
DC: HELLO EVERYONE! WELCOME TO “SOMETHING MORE”. I'M YOUR HOST DONNA CHAVIS. AND I WANTED TO READ SOMETHING THAT MY GUEST SAID ABOUT HIMSELF BEFORE WE MEET HIM. AND HE SAID, “FROM THE DUST OF THE AUSTRALIAN OUTBACK AND THE DUST OF MY BROKEN LIFE, GOD MADE SOMETHING THAT COULD BE USED FOR HIS GLORY.” WOO, WOW!
ALL THE WAY FROM AUSTRALIA, PLEASE WELCOME JOHN MELLOR. HI JOHN!
JM: HI DONNA, THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
DC: OH ABSOLUTELY! JOHN, YOU ARE A HEALING EVANGELIST.
JM: YES.
DC: YOU GO AFTER THE SOULS OF PEOPLE, GET THEM SAVED, SO PASSIONATE ABOUT THAT.
JM: YEAH.
DC: BUT HEALING IS SUCH A BIG PART OF WHAT YOU DO, AS WELL. DO YOU ACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT MIRACLES STILL HAPPEN TODAY? NOW, I'M TALKING ABOUT MIRACLES LIKE JESUS DID THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO. IS THAT STILL RELEVANT TODAY?
JM: WELL, IT CERTAINLY IS DONNA. YEAH, WE SEE ALL TYPES OF MIRACLES FROM PEOPLE WHO ARE QUADRIPLEGICS IN WHEELCHAIRS, PNEUMONIA, LUNG DISEASE, PARKINSON'S, M.S., GOD CREATING ORGANS IN BODIES, SUPERNATURAL MIRACLES, AND THESE ARE DOCUMENTED. YOU CAN SEE THEM ON YOUTUBE. WE HAVE DOCTORS ALL IN AMERICA AND IN EUROPE THAT ACTUALLY SENT THEIR PATIENTS TO US.
DC: WOW! [LAUGHS] YOU DON'T HEAR OF THAT VERY OFTEN. NOW, I WANTED TO TAKE YOU BACK, AND I KNOW THAT YOU'RE HEALED FROM ALL OF THIS NOW AND SO IT'S AS A TESTIMONY TO WHO YOU ARE NOW; GROWING UP WAS NOT EASY FOR YOU, JOHN.
JM: NO, IT WASN'T. I WAS RAISED IN A VERY DYSFUNCTIONAL HOME. MY MOTHER HAD MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES AND SHE WAS IN AND OUT OF MENTAL HOSPITALS. AND MY FATHER WAS OFTEN DRUNK, AN ANGRY MAN, HAD BEEN THROUGH THE WAR, AND THINGS HAD HAPPENED IN HIS LIFE.
SO BECAUSE DAD COULDN'T COPE AND MUM WASN'T WELL, THEY PUT US IN CHILDREN'S HOMES. AND SO I GREW UP WITH A LOT OF CONFUSION AND FEAR AND REJECTION BECAUSE A CHILD DOESN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENING IN HIS WORLD.
DC: OF COURSE.
JM: AND DAD WAS ALWAYS ANGRY AND UPSET, AND SO YEAH, IT WAS QUITE A LOT OF HEARTACHE AND PERSONAL PAIN GROWING UP.
DC: SURE. AND I KNOW BY THE TIME YOU WERE A TEENAGER, BY FIFTEEN STARTED GETTING INTO DRINKING, BY SEVENTEEN AN ALCOHOLIC, INVOLVED IN GANGS, SO MANY THINGS LIKE THAT.
BUT YOU HAD, SHORTLY AFTER THAT YOU HAD WHAT YOU CALLED A PIVOTAL MOMENT IN YOUR LIFE THAT ACTUALLY BROUGHT YOU TO THE LORD. TELL US ABOUT THAT.
JM: YEAH, WELL IT'S INTERESTING IN SOMEBODY'S COMING TO CHRIST THERE'S ALWAYS A SERIES OF DIFFERENT EVENTS AND I SUPPOSE IT BEGAN WHEN I WAS BORN.
WHEN I WAS BORN, THE FAMOUS ACTOR SEAN CONNERY'S MOTHER-IN-LAW, SHE WAS A MEDICAL DOCTOR AND SHE WAS THE ONE WHO DELIVERED ME. SHE WAS A CHRISTIAN. THAT WAS DOCTOR,
DC: OKAY, LET ME JUST STOP YOU IN CASE [LAUGHS], IN CASE NOT EVERYBODY GOT THAT. I WANTED TO MAKE A POINT IF YOU HEARD WHAT HE SAID. THE FAMOUS ACTOR SEAN CONNERY'S MOTHER-IN-LAW IS THE PERSON THAT DELIVERED HIM. SHE IS THE PERSON THAT HAD HER HANDS ON HIM FIRST. AND WHAT DID SHE DO?
JM: YEAH, SHE WAS THE FIRST PERSON TO HOLD ME. WELL, SHE WAS A VERY FAMOUS MEDICAL DOCTOR, DR. PHYLLIS CILENTO, IN AUSTRALIA, AND SHE WAS A CHRISTIAN. AND SHE HABITUALLY PRAYED FOR EVERY CHILD SHE BROUGHT INTO THE WORLD AND SHE WAS OUR FAMILY DOCTOR. AND SHE HAD COMPASSION FOR PEOPLE WHO WERE DOWN AND OUT AND HAVING PROBLEMS.
SO, SHE TOOK MUM UNDER HER WING BECAUSE OF HER MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES AND TOOK OUR FAMILY UNDER HER WING AND SHE PERSONALLY LOOKED AFTER ME AND DELIVERED ME. AND SO I ALWAYS SAY THAT JAMES BOND'S MOTHER-IN-LAW DELIVERED ME.
DC: [LAUGHS]
JM: SHE WAS THE FIRST ONE TO HOLD ME, SO, SHE PRAYED FOR ME AT BIRTH. AND THEN WHEN I WAS PUT INTO A CHILDREN'S HOME, YEARS LATER, I MET THE LADY WHO WAS THE NURSE'S ASSISTANT, IN CHARGE OF ALL THE CHILDREN.
AND SHE WAS A BORN-AGAIN CHRISTIAN AND SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE USED TO PRAY FOR ALL THE CHILDREN, EVERY DAY, IN THE HOME. SO, IT'S AMAZING HOW GOD HAS HIS HAND ON PEOPLE'S LIVES.
EVEN WHEN I WAS BORN, AS A CHILD IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL THIS DISTRESS, GOD HAD PEOPL, HE MOVED PEOPLE INTO MY SITUATION TO PRAY FOR ME.
DC: HE HAD A PLAN FOR YOU, DIDN'T HE?
JM: YEAH!
DC: AND NOW, TELL ME ABOUT YOUR BROTHER AND THEN THESE OTHER EVENTS THAT LEAD TO YOU.
JM: YEAH WELL, INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, I GOT INVOLVED IN GANGS AS A YOUNG MAN AND I DROPPED OUT OF SCHOOL VERY YOUNG AND SO DID MY BROTHER. AND MY BROTHER BECAME A DRUG ADDICT AND HE BECAME A CHRISTIAN THROUGH TEEN CHALLENGE. AND OF COURSE, HE BEGAN TO PRAY FOR ME.
I HAD GOTTEN INVOLVED IN AN OUTLAW MOTORCYCLE CLUB AND ONE DAY I HAD A TERRIBLE BIKE ACCIDENT. BUT BEFORE I HAD THE ACCIDENT, MY BROTHER ALWAYS SAID TO ME, “JOHN, WHEN YOU DIE YOU'LL GO TO HELL,” AND I USED TO LAUGH AND MOCK HIM.
BUT AT THAT MOMENT, AFTER THE ACCIDENT, I'M LYING THERE AND BLOOD'S COMING OUT, AND THE AMBULANCE IS THERE, AND THEY'RE TRYING TO SEW ME UP, THE THOUGHT CAME TO ME OF HOW EASILY I COULD HAVE DIED, DONNA.
AND I THOUGHT, “YOU KNOW WHAT? ETERNITY'S FOREVER.” AND SO, I'M IN THE AMBULANCE GOING TO THE HOSPITAL AND ONCE AGAIN THESE TWO CHRISTIAN BIKER GUYS, THEY SAW THE ACCIDENT, AND THEY'RE FOLLOWING THE AMBULANCE TO THE HOSPITAL, AND THEY'RE PRAYING FOR THE GUY WHO HAD THE ACCIDENT.
AND SO ONCE AGAIN, GOD BRINGS THESE TWO GUYS WHO ARE INTERCEDING AND FOLLOWING THE AMBULANCE ALL THE WAY TO THE HOSPITAL.
DC: SO, THEY SAW THE ACCIDENT AND THEY FOLLOWED,
JM: YEAH! THEY FOLLOWED THE AMBULANCE AND THEY'RE PRAYING FOR ME. THEY DECIDED TO FOLLOW THE AMBULANCE AND PRAY FOR THE YOUNG GUY WHO HAD THE BIKE ACCIDENT.
SO, THEY'RE FOLLOWING THE AMBULANCE, PRAYING FOR ME. HERE I'M LYING THERE THINKING ABOUT, “I COULD HAVE DIED. I COULD HAVE GONE TO HELL.” AND SO, I GET INTO THE HOSPITAL AND THEY SEW ME UP, AND THIS GUY WITH TATTOOS AND A BEARD, HE COMES INTO THE CASUALTY WARD, HE LOOKS DOWN AT ME AND SAYS, “I WANT TO TELL YOU THIS,” HE SAYS, “JESUS LOVES YOU AND HAS A PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE,” AND HE WALKED OUT.
AND I'M LYING THERE THINKING, “THIS IS CRAZY!” SO, I GOT HOME, OUT OF THE HOSPITAL, I'M LYING IN BE, YOU KNOW, ALL OF THESE EVENTS, PEOPLE PRAYING FOR ME, MY BROTHER, THESE BIKERS, RIGHT FROM BIRT, AND I'M LYING IN BED AND I CRIED OUT, I SAID, “JESUS, IF YOU ARE REAL," BECAUSE I HAD SO MUCH TORMENT IN MY LIFE.
I HAD DEPRESSION. I WAS A SUICIDAL CHILD. I USED TO THREATEN TO KILL MYSELF. I WAS A DEPRESSED CHILD. I HAD NIGHT HORRORS AND NIGHTMARES AND BEDWETTING AND I WAS SO DISTURBED.
AND I'M LYING THERE AT NIGHT, I SAID, “JESUS, IF YOU ARE REAL, TELL ME YOU ARE. PLEASE, HELP ME. SET ME FREE. GOD, WHATEVER IT IS, I GIVE MY LIFE TO YOU.” AND I WAS SO SERIOUS, SO TORMENTED, AND THEN THIS PEACE CAME IN THE ROOM AND I FELL ASLEEP.
AND I WOKE UP IN THE MORNING AND I THOUGHT, “I JUST FEEL SO PEACEFUL! WHAT WAS THAT? THAT'S A STRANGE FEELING.” AND I COULD SEE HOW BRIGHT THE GREEN LEAVES WERE AND THE FLOWERS; I COULD HEAR THE BIRDS SINGING.
I THOUGHT, “LAST NIGHT, FOR THE FIRST TIME, I CRIED OUT TO GOD, I ASKED JESUS TO FORGIVE ME AND COME INTO MY LIFE. I WONDER IF THIS IS WHAT IT IS FOR JESUS TO COME INTO YOUR LIFE.” AND I FELT SO HAPPY AND EXCITED AND MY LIFE WAS NEVER THE SAME AGAIN.
I BEGAN MY FIRST CHRISTIAN WALK IN THIS ORGANIZATION CALLED THE GOD SQUAD; IT'S FOR CHRISTIAN BIKERS WHO GET SAVED. AND SO, I HAD AN AMAZING ENCOUNTER WITH JESUS AND MY LIFE'S NEVER BEEN THE SAME, DONNA. NEVER BEEN THE SAME.
DC: AH, THAT IS A GOOD PLACE TO STOP AND TAKE A QUICK BREAK. SO, WE'RE GOING TO FAST FORWARD JUST A LITTLE BIT. JOHN IS A NEW BELIEVER, HE GETS MARRIED, HE'S GOT FOUR YOUNG CHILDREN, AND QUITE AN ADVENTURE AHEAD OF HIM. STAY WITH US.
[MUSIC]
DC: WELCOME BACK EVERYONE TO “SOMETHING MORE”. I'M HERE WITH JOHN MELLOR, AS YOU HEARD, ALL THE WAY FROM AUSTRALIA. AND SO, JOHN IS ABOUT TO START A NEW CHAPTER IN HIS LIFE. HE IS A BELIEVER, HE'S A FATHER, HE'S A HUSBAND, AND HE GETS THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO A PLACE TO MINISTER THAT IS BEAUTIFUL, PEACEFUL; I MEAN IT'S JUST THE PERFECT PLACE TO START A MINISTRY. RIGHT, JOHN?
JM: THAT'S RIGHT.
DC: [LAUGHS]
JM: YEAH WELL, IT WAS QUITE A DIFFERENT PLACE; IT WAS CALLED KATHERINE, NORTHERN TERRITORY. AND NORTHERN TERRITORY IS LIKE THE WILD WEST; IT'S LIKE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE AND THERE'S A LARGE INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL POPULATION.
AND IT'S GOT THE HIGHEST MURDER RATES, VIOLENCE, AND ALCOHOLISM IN THE WHOLE NATION. AND SO, I HAD A HEART TO GO THERE. I WANTED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO THE WORLD.
WHEN GOD SAVED ME, GOD DELIVERED ME, I HAD A HEART TO REACH OUT TO THE LOST AND THE BROKEN AND SO I FELT CALLED, ME AND MY FAMILY, TO GO TO THIS VERY REMOTE PLACE. IT'S IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE.
DC: SO IT WASN'T EXACTLY HOW I DESCRIBED IT?
JM: NOT REALLY; IT'S QUITE THE OPPOSITE. IN FACT, IT'S VERY NORMAL TO WALK DOWN THE STREET AND SEE PEOPLE FIGHTING EACH OTHER AND QUITE OFTEN WE USED TO JUST TRY AND HELP PEOPLE, SAVE LIVES.
THERE WERE BOTTLES AND KNIFES, AND FIGHTING, AND DRUNKEN BRAWLS, AND IT WAS JUST A VERY, VERY WILD PLACE, BUT THAT'S WHERE I FELT GOD WANTED US TO GO. AND SO WE WENT OUT THERE AND IT WAS A VERY DIFFICULT PLACE.
IT WAS VERY EXPENSIVE, BUT THE CHURCH ALWAYS SENT ME OUT. THEY TAUGHT US TO FAST AND PRAY AND SO, I DID A LOT OF FASTING AND PRAYING AND CRYING OUT TO GOD. AND SO, I HAD THIS OUTREACH AT A PLACE CALLED BINJARI, WHICH WAS ABOUT, PROBABLY, FIFTEEN MILES OUT OF TOWN.
IT WAS THIS ABORIGINAL COMMUNITY AND IT WAS A VERY WILD PLACE, BUT I USED TO GO OUT THERE AND I USE TO, OF COURSE, THE PEOPLE WERE TRIBAL PEOPLE AND MY CHURCH WAS JUST A FIELD AND I USED TO SIT ON A LOG AND TELL BIBLE STORIES, SIMPLE BIBLE STORIES.
DC: AND HOW MANY PEOPLE WOULD COME OUT TO THESE MEETINGS?
JM: I HAD AN OLD LADY AND THREE OR FOUR CHILDREN. THAT WAS MY CHURCH.
DC: AN OLD LADY AND THREE OR FOUR CHILDREN?
JM: THAT'S WHAT I HAD.
DC: [LAUGHS] OKAY.
JM: AND SO, BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WEREN'T INTERESTED IN WHAT I HAD TO SAY BECAUSE MISSIONARIES HAD COME AND GONE AND,
DC: BECAUSE SPIRITUALLY, THEY WERE VERY HARD, WEREN'T THEY? I MEAN, THEY WERE USED TO DEMONIC INFLUENCES AND TRIBAL THINGS AND,
JM: WELL, OUT THERE WE DEALT A LOT WITH WITCHCRAFT. THEY HAD THE KADAITCHA MAN, THE KADAITCHA MAN WAS LIKE THE WITCHDOCTOR WHO PRACTICES BLACK MAGIC. AND PEOPLE EVEN TODAY STILL LIVE UNDER FEAR OF THESE KADAITCHA MEN, THE WITCHDOCTORS, AND THEY DO CEREMONIES WHERE THEY MAKE PEOPLE DIE JUST BY CHANTING.
IT'S ALL, BUT ANYWAY, I WENT OUT THERE TO BINJARI AND I JUST TOLD BIBLE STORIES AND AFTER A WHILE I WAS GETTING NOWHERE. AND I THOUGHT, “GOD, I NEED A BREAKTHROUGH.” SO I THOUGHT, “I'M GOING TO FAST FROM THE FIRST DAY TO THE TENTH OF THE MONTH, THE FIRST THROUGH THE TENTH OF EVERY MONTH, FAST AND PRAY FOR THEM TO BE SAVED.” NOW DONNA, AT THIS STAGE I DIDN'T BELIEVE IN HEALING.
I DIDN'T BELIEVE IN HEALING. I MEAN, I KNEW HEALING WAS THERE, BUT I HAD NEVER SEEN PEOPLE HEALED. AND SO, BUT I WAS PRAYING FOR THEM TO COME TO KNOW CHRIST.
DC: RIGHT!
JM: AND SO, FOR FIVE MONTHS I WAS FASTING AND PRAYING. I GO OUT THERE AND THE OLD LADY USED TO COME OUT AND THE FEW CHILDREN, AND IT WAS QUITE DISCOURAGING BECAUSE IN TOWN I HAD MY MAIN CHURCH AND ALL I HAD WAS ONE CHURCH MEMBER.
DC: NO! [LAUGHS]
JM: ONE CHURCH MEMBER WAS ALL I HAD. THE PROBLEM WAS, DONNA, SOMETIMES I WOULD GO VISIT MY CHURCH AND HE WASN'T HOME.
DC: WELL NOW, I HEARD SOMETHING ABOUT YOU TOO. I HEARD THAT, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU FIRST STARTED OUT THERE THAT YOU'RE CHURCH MEMBERSHIP WAS LOW, SO YOU WANTED TO PRACTICE YOUR PREACHING, SO YOU WOULD GO OUT AND PREACH TO THE KANGAROOS.
JM: I USED TO PREACH TO KANGAROOS.
DC: NO! [LAUGHS]
JM: I USED TO GO OUT INTO THE BUSH AND I USED TO PREACH TO THE KANGAROOS TO PRACTICE MY PREACHING. IN FACT, I EVEN HAD A PET KANGAROO THAT USED TO SLEEP IN BED WITH ME CALLED ARCHIE, ARCHIE THE KANGAROO.
AND I USED TO PREACH AND ARCHIE USED TO, I FOUND HIM AS A BABY AND I USED TO PUT ARCHIE IN A LITTLE SLING AROUND MY NECK AND I'D PREACH. WHEN ARCHIE GOT BIGGER, HE, LIKE A DOG, USED TO FOLLOW ME.
SO WHEN I USED TO PREACH, ARCHIE USED TO HOP UP AND DOWN. HOP, MIND YOU, ALL I HAD WAS ONE PERSON IN MY CHURCH AND ARCHIE USED TO HOP UP AND DOWN, HOP UP AND DOWN WHILE I'M PREACHING.
DC: ONE PERSON AND A KANGAROO?
JM: YEAH, AND A KANGAROO! AND I WENT OUT TO BINJARI AND AFTER FIVE MONTHS OF FASTING AND PRAYING, THIS LADY, THIS OLD LADY CALLED ELSIE, AND SHE COULDN'T SPEAK ENGLISH PROPERLY.
SHE COULD SPEAK BROKEN CREOLE AND TRIBAL LANGUAGE, WATERMEN TRIBE, AND SHE SPOKE WITH BROKEN CREOLE, AND SO I HAD TO SPEAK VERY SLOWLY AND VERY SIMPLY.
BUT ANYWAY, ONE DAY AFTER FIVE MONTHS OF FASTING AND PRAYING, I NOTICE SHE WAS ALWAYS IN PAIN AND SO I HAD THIS IMPULSE TO PRAY FOR HER; IT WAS JUST OUT OF THE BLUE.
I SAID LISTEN, “I'LL PRAY FOR YOU.” I WAS ON MY LOG, I STOOD UP, AND SHE WAS IN THE GRASS. THE CHILDREN HELPED HER UP AND SHE CAME TO THE FRONT WHERE I WAS AND I LAID MY HANDS ON HER LEG BECAUSE I HAD SEEN PEOPLE LAY HANDS ON PEOPLE.
SO I PRAYED FOR HER LEG, BUT I THOUGH NOTHING MORE OF IT AND AFTER THAT, DONNA, I LEFT. AND I USED TO GO THERE EVERY SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND HAVE A MEETING OUT THERE IN THE FIELD WITH THE FEW CHILDREN AND ELSIE.
DC: RIGHT.
JM: SO THE NEXT WEEK I WENT OUT THERE AND THERE WAS A CROWD OF PEOPLE. I THOUGHT, “WHAT ARE THEY HERE FOR? IS THERE A BIG FOOTBALL MATCH? WHAT'S HAPPENING?”
DC: WHAT HAPPENED?
JM: THEY CAME TO SEE ME BECAUSE ELSIE GOT HEALED AND TOLD THE WHOLE TRIBE. SO THEY WANTED ME TO PRAY FOR THEM. AND HERE WAS I, I DIDN'T REALLY BELIEVE IN HEALING. I WASN'T TOO SURE IF IT WAS REAL. AND THEY SAID, “PRAY FOR ME! PRAY FOR ME!” SO I WAS PRAYING FOR THEM AND GOD WAS HEALING THEM.
I THOUGHT, “HOW IS THIS HAPPENING?” I DIDN'T EVEN BELIEVE IN THIS REALLY, YOU KNOW? HOW IS THIS HEALING HAPPENING? AND SO THE PEOPLE BEGAN TO CALL ME THE MISSIONARY MAN WHO HEALS. AND THEN I GOT INVITATIONS TO EVEN MORE REMOTE PLACES!
I GO OUT THERE AND HAVE THESE WILD MEETINGS OF HEALING. AND YOU KNOW THE WITCHDOCTORS WOULD HAVE THEIR CEREMONIES AND TRY AND CURSE ME AND DOGS WOULD COME AND BITE ME BECAUSE THE DOGS ARE DEMONIZED OUT THERE.
WHEN YOU MENTION THE BLOOD OF JESUS THEY'LL ALL COME AND ATTACK YOU AND BITE YOU. SO I USED TO CARRY A STICK WHEN I WAS PRAYING FOR PEOPLE. SO, I HAD A STICK IN ONE HAND, HITTING THE DOGS, AND PRAYING FOR PEOPLE LIKE THIS [LAUGHS]. IT WAS WILD, BUT IT WAS FUN! IT WAS FUN!
DC: YOU KNOW, SOMETHING THAT YOU SAID. YOU WERE SKEPTICAL YOURSELF, WHEN ALL OF THIS STARTED HAPPENING AND THEN YOU STARTED GOING INTO THESE REMOTE VILLAGES AND COMMUNITIES AND PRAYING FOR THESE PEOPLE THAT WERE DEMONIZED, THEY WERE WITCHDOCTORS, THEY BELIEVED IN ALL THESE TRIBAL, TRADITIONAL THINGS.
JM: YEAH.
DC: IF WHAT YOU HAD WAS NOT REAL, MAN, YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN EATEN ALIVE [LAUGHS],
JM: THAT'S RIGHT!
DC: I THINK, SERIOUSLY, IT HAD TO BE REAL.
JM: IT HAD TO BE REAL AND THE THING IS,
DC: IT HAD TO BE REAL FOR THEM TO EVEN BELIEVE IT, FOR THEM TO REALIZE THAT.
JM: THAT'S CORRECT, YEAH. BUT THE WHOLE CRAZY THING WAS THAT EVEN THOUGH I WAS IN A PENTECOSTAL CHURCH, YOU KNOW I WAS, I CATEGORIZED MYSELF AS AN UNBELIEVING BELIEVER. I BELIEVED IN CHRIST, I BELIEVED HE WAS RISEN FROM THE DEAD, THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST, BUT BECAUSE I HADN'T SEEN MIRACLES, I DIDN'T, INSIDE MY HEART, I THOUGHT, “OKAY?” I DIDN'T REALLY BELIEVE IT WAS REAL.
I THOUGHT MAYBE IT HAPPENS SOMEWHERE IN THE CONGO, BUT NOT WHERE I LIVE IN AUSTRALIA. AND SO I HAD ALL THESE RESERVATIONS AND UNBELIEF, BUT THANK GOD, HE SHOWED ME HE'S REAL. AND I HAD A REVELATION THAT ALL MY LIFE, EVEN AS A CHRISTIAN, I WAS ALWAYS TRYING TO ANALYZE THINGS.
YOU KNOW, WHY IS THAT HAPPENING? HOW CAN A LAME PERSON WALK?
DC: SURE.
JM: HOW CAN? I WAS TRYING TO COME AT GOD WITH MY NATURAL MIND INSTEAD OF MY SPIRIT MAN.
DC: RIGHT.
JM: AND THEN I HAD THIS REVELATION THAT CHANGED MY LIFE. AND GOD SAID, “WHEN ARE YOU JUST GOING TO BELIEVE ME?” AND YOU KNOW WHAT I SAID? I SAID, “LORD, I'M GOING TO BELIEVE YOU. I'M GOING TO BELIEVE YOU!”
DC: SO YOU MADE A DECISION TO BELIEVE?
JM: I MADE A CHOICE. I MADE A DECISION TO BELIEVE GOD.
DC: YOU MADE A DECISION. BELIEVING IS A DECISION.
JM: TO BELIEVE GOD!
JM: I SAID, “LORD, FROM NOW ON I'M GOING TO BELIEVE YOU.” [MUSIC]
DC: WOW! I THINK THAT'S A CHOICE THAT A LOT OF US NEED TO MAKE. LET'S TAKE A QUICK BREAK. WE'VE GOT LOTS MORE WITH JOHN MELLOR IN JUST A MOMENT. SO PLEASE STAY WITH US.
[MUSIC]
DC: WELCOME BACK EVERYBODY. I AM SURE YOU ARE ENJOYING LISTENING TO JOHN MELLOR, WHO'S WITH US TODAY. AND JOHN, I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING. YOU KNOW, THIS HAS BEEN AN AMAZING STORY, BUT AT A POINT IN YOUR LIFE, DEVASTATION WAS JUST ALL AROUND YOU. THERE WAS A HORRIBLE FLOOD.
JM: YEAH.
DC: YOU LOST EVERYTHING.
JM: YEAH.
DC: LIFE WAS HARD, MINISTRY WAS HARD AND YOUR WIFE THAT YOU WERE MARRIED TO AT THE TIME, IT WAS TOUGH! I MEAN, EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT IT WAS TOUGH AND SO SHE JUST COULD NOT DO IT ANYMORE AND YOU WOUND UP GETTING A DIVORCE.
JM: YEAH.
DC: WHAT DID YOU THINK AT THAT MOMENT?
JM: WELL, WHAT HAPPENED WAS THAT WE HAD BEEN SERVING ON THE MISSION FIELD FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND WE SAW SO MANY WONDERFUL THINGS HAPPENING. AND THEN A FLOOD CAME, TWENTY, TWO AND A HALF METERS, WASHED MOST OF THE TOWN AWAY. I MEAN WE LOST EVERYTHING, LOST OUR HOME. THE MISSION HOUSE WAS GONE.
THE CHURCH WAS WRECKED, IT WAS UNDERWATER. THE WHOLE THING WAS DESTROYED. WE LOST EVERYTHING. AND OF COURSE FINANCIALLY, WE HAD MASSIVE DEBT. WE LOST EVERYTHING.
AND ONE DAY MY WIFE SAID, “I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE,” AND SHE TOOK OFF WITH ANOTHER MAN. AND SO, HERE I WAS AFTER SERVING GOD AND GIVING EVERYTHING UP TO SERVE GOD IN THE MISSION FIELD, I LOST EVERYTHING.
AND THEN MY HEALTH WENT, MY BACK WENT, AND MY HOME WAS A LITTLE CARAVAN, A BROKEN-DOWN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU CALL IT IN AMERICA, LITTLE CARAVAN.
AND HERE I WAS ON MY OWN, CHRONIC PAIN, MY WIFE WAS OFF WITH ANOTHER MAN, THE CHURCH WAS GONE, THE HOUSE IS DESTROYED, DEBT, EVERYTHING, AND I'M SITTING THERE AND I'M FEELING SLIGHTLY DEPRESSED [LAUGHS].
DC: I GUESS!
JM: YOU KNOW, IT'S AMAZING HOW WHEN THINGS FALL APART, HOW THE DEVIL COMES TO RUB THE SALT IN. AND THE DEVIL SAID, “YOU KNOW WHAT?” THE VOICE SAID, “YOU KNOW WHAT JOHN? YOU'RE FINISHED. YOU'RE FINISHED! YOU'LL NEVER MINISTER AGAIN. LOOK AT YOU! YOU'VE LOST EVERYTHING!
WHO IS EVER GOING TO, YOU'VE LOST IT! YOUR DREAM IS FINISHED!” IT'S LIKE THE DEVIL SAID, “WHERE IS GOD NOW? WHERE IS GOD NOW?” AND ALL THE SUDDEN, IN THE EMOTIONAL TRAUMA, THE PHYSICAL PAIN, ALL THE SUDDEN ALL OF THESE PROPHECIES BEGAN TO COME BACK.
I HAD PROPHECIES OVER THE YEARS OF HOW GOD WAS GOING TO USE ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL AND EVEN TRAVEL THE WORLD AND SEE WONDERFUL THINGS. PROPHECIES AND SCRIPTURES IN GALATIANS. GALATIANS CHAPTER 6:7 SAYS GOD IS NOT MOCKED, WHAT A MAN SOWS HE SHALL REAP.
AND I HAD SOWN SO MUCH GOOD SEED, SO MANY GOOD THINGS. AND YOU KNOW, ALL OF A SUDDEN, I GOT ANGRY. I STOOD UP AND I SCREAMED. I SCREAMED AND I SAID, “DEVIL, YOU'RE A LIAR! YOU'RE GOING TO BE SORRY YOU EVER TOUCHED ME! I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU PAY FOR THIS!”
AND AT THAT MOMENT, THAT PIVOTAL MOMENT, I'M AT A POINT WHATEVER HAPPENS I'M GOING TO SERVE GOD. YOU KNOW, JOB SAID, “THOUGH HE SLAY ME, YET WILL I SERVE HIM.” I SAID, “GOD I WILL SERVE YOU. IF IT COSTS MY LIFE, I WILL SERVE YOU!” I WANT TO ENCOURAGE VIEWERS OUT THERE.
MAYBE YOU'RE GOING THROUGH A DIFFICULT TIME. MAYBE YOU'VE STARTED OFF GOOD AND THINGS ARE FALLING APART. I WANT TO TELL YOU, RIGHT NOW. GOD IS A FAITHFUL GOD. GOD IS NOT MOCKED.
WHAT YOU SOW YOU WILL REAP. YOU KNOW, GOD IS A FAITHFUL AND A GOOD GOD. GOD'S A GOD OF RESTORATION. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? FROM THAT POINT, DONNA, I PREACHED HARDER. I WENT OUT TO THE DARKEST AREAS AMONGST THE ABORIGINAL, THE TRIBAL PEOPLE, AND PREACHED THE GOSPEL.
DC:I'D LIKE FOR YOU TO TAKE JUST A MOMENT BEFORE WE LEAVE AND PRAY FOR THOSE THAT ARE WATCHING.
JM: THAT WOULD BE A GREAT PRIVILEGE. RIGHT NOW, I WANT TO PRAY FOR YOU RIGHT NOW. I WANT TO PRAY FOR YOU, RIGHT NOW. YOU KNOW, MIRACLES ARE NORMAL. YOU KNOW, ORIGINALLY WE WERE ON TV IN THE UK AND I PRAYED OVER THE AIR AND ON DIFFERENT RADIO PROGRAMS;
PEOPLE WERE GETTING HEALED RIGHT ACROSS THE NATION. ONE LADY WAS SEMI-DISABLED, LYING IN HER BED. AS I WAS PRAYING OVER THE AIR WAVES, SHE JUST STOOD UP AND HER DAUGHTER WAS AMAZED. GOD HEALED HER. YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW AS I PRAY, THE POWER OF GOD IS GOING TO FLOW THROUGH THE SCREEN AND GOD'S GOING TO HEAL YOU. I'M GOING TO PRAY RIGHT NOW.
