A Strong Man Over a Country

And then when we come to nations, the same is true. I was in New Zealand, which is a nation I know well. I’ve visited probably ten times. I love the people of New Zealand. But I was in a meeting there a few years back, and I was teaching on this.

And they said, “Well, what’s the strong man over New Zealand?” Well, I said, “It isn’t my business to tell you. It’s your business to find out.” They were leaders. But they kept on, so I thought, “Well, God, maybe You will show me.” And I felt God had shown me.

And eventually, they pressured me, and I said, “Well, if you want to know, I believe the strong man over New Zealand is indifference.” They’re very friendly, warm people, but they don’t, in a way, take life seriously. And their attitude is, “It’ll work out all right in the end.” In fact, what they say in New Zealand is, “She’ll be right, Jack.”
