Shadowing Practice: 폴워셔3 - Learn English Speaking with Video

at your father, I would tell him, Sir, you are a derelict father, that you would allow your child to be out in such circumstances.

I want you to know something.

God is not a derelict father.

If you can play around in sin, if you can love the world and love the things of the world, if you can always be involved in the world and doing things of the world,

if your heroes are worldly people, if you want to look like them and act like them, if you practice the same things they practice, oh, my dear friend, listen to my voice.

there's a good chance you know not God and you do not belong to Him.

Now, bring this to close.

Verse 22, Many will say to me on that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?

Then I will declare to them, I never knew you.

You say the most important thing on the face of the earth is to know Jesus Christ.

That is not true.

The most important thing on the face of the earth is that Jesus Christ knows you.

I'm not going to get into the White House tomorrow

because I walk up to the gate and tell everybody I know George Bush.

But they will let me in if George Bush comes out and says, I know Paul Washer.

You can profess to know Jesus, but my question for you, do you know Jesus?

Does Jesus know you?

And look how he describes the lost man here.

He says, depart from me, you who practice lawlessness.

In Greek, anomia.

A negative particle, ah, not.

Word namas, law, no law.

And this is what it means.

Let me give you an accurate translation of this.

Depart from me.

Listen to me.

If I could come out there and hug you while I was telling you this, I would.

Listen to me.

He says, depart from me, those of you who claim to be my disciples, who confessed me as Lord,

and yet you live as though I never gave you a law to obey.

I just described a great majority of North American Christianity.

If anyone starts talking about law, if anyone starts talking about biblical principles on what we're supposed to do and not supposed to do,

how we're to live and not supposed to live, everyone starts screaming legalists.

Legalists.

But Jesus said, depart from me, those of you who lived.

You called me Lord, but you lived as though I had never given a law.

In American Christianity today, pass through the gate, praise God, live like the rest of the world and it's okay you're just carnal, maybe one day you'll come back.

Do you know what happens because of our bad evangelism?

We have gazillions of children saved in vacation Bible school.

When they hit 15 years old, they enter into the world and live like demons, a great majority of them.

And then when they're around 30, they come back and rededicate their life.

Maybe they just got saved.

Because, folks, it's more than just telling someone you're saved because you acknowledge that Jesus is Lord.

Satan acknowledges that Jesus is Lord.

He's your life in a process of change.

And then he drops down.

He talks about two people, two foundations.

Do you know what this passage in contemporary...

See, it's important to study theology and it's important to study history.

The contemporary interpretation of this passage about the rock and the sand is basically like this.

If you're a Christian, you need to build your life upon the rock.

because if you build your life upon the sand, you'll be an unhappy Christian and your life won't go right.

That is not what Jesus is teaching and history backs me up on it.

It was hardly ever interpreted that way.

Do you know what the interpretation is?

It goes like this.

There are two ways.

There's a narrow way and a broad way.

Which one are you on?

There are two types of trees.

There is a good tree that bears good fruit and is going to heaven and there's a bad tree, and you know it's bad because it bears bad fruit, and it's going to hell.

It's going to be cut down and thrown into the fire.

There are those who profess Jesus as Lord, and they do the will of the Father who is in heaven, and there are those who profess Jesus Christ as Lord,

and they do not do the will of the Father who is in heaven, and they go to hell.

Not because of a lack of works, but because of a lack of faith demonstrated by the fact that they had no works.

And then he goes on.

This is not two Christians building their house on two different foundations.

No, this again is a saved man and a lost man.

The lost man hears the word of God preached, but he lays no foundation.

You cannot see in any way in his life how the word of God is forming and building and sustaining his life.

His life is not...

How many people in the Southern Baptist Convention, regardless of all our numbers, regardless of everything we say,

If we were to simply take this passage and compare the people to this passage and say, are you building your marriage on the Word of God?

Are you raising your children on the Word of God?

Are you doing your finances on the Word of God?

Are you living, separating yourself from the things of this world based upon the Word of God?

How many would be able to answer positively?

No. None of that.

I profess Jesus.

He's my Savior.

And my Sunday school teacher told me so.

Oh, I know, like Leonard Ravenhill, an acquaintance of mine, before he passed on,

used to say, I preach in a lot of Baptist churches once.

I preach in a lot of places like this once.

I could have got up here today with a vocabulary that would have astounded you,

and preached you things that would have lifted you up and floated you around this room.

I could have told you stories that would have made you laugh, and stories about dogs and grandmas that would have made you cry.

But I love you too much for that.

I know, I know because the Word of God is true, that there are people who believe themselves to be saved, and they're no more saved.

They're not.

I know that there are some of you who look around and you think, well, I'm saved.

I mean, look, I look like everybody else in my youth group.

What makes you think your youth group is saved?

Well, I'm like my parents or I'm like the adults in my church or the deacon or the pastor.

What does that matter?

You won't be judged by them on the day of His coming.

My question for you, beloved, my question for you, little child, I mean, you could be my children.

And I pray someday when my little boy grows that there will be a preacher who will stand before him and say, Enough of this!

Let's get down!

100

What does the Word of God say?

101

How does your life stand in front of that blazing fire which is the holiness of God?

102

On that final day, beloved, precious little girl, beloved, precious young man,

103

on that final day, will your confession hold true? Are you saved?

104

And I'm not talking about, well, I think I'm saved.

105

You know, there's a way that seems right unto a man, but it leads unto death.

106

Well, I feel in my heart of my heart that I'm saved.

107

Well, let me ask you a question.

108

Did you ever read that the heart is deceitfully wicked?

109

Who can know it?

110

Shouldn't you go to the testimony of Scripture?

111

Well, I know I'm saved because my mom, my dad, my pastor, everybody else told me I was saved.

112

Well, I'm telling you this.

113

What does the Word of God tell you?

114

We talk so much about being radical Christians.

115

Radical Christians are not people who jump at concerts.

116

Radical Christians are not people who wear Christian t-shirts.

117

Radical Christians are those who bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit.

118

Radical Christians are those who reverence and honor their parents, even when they feel like their parents are wrong.

119

Radical Christians are those who do not...

120

Now listen to me, this is going to make you mad.

121

And I'm talking to boys and girls.

122

Radical Christians are those who do not dress sensually in order to show off their bodies.

123

If your clothing is a frame for your face, God is pleased with your clothing.

124

If your clothing is a frame for your body, it's sensual and God hates what you're doing.

125

Everybody wants to talk about a prophet, but no one wants to listen to him.

126

I'm talking about Christianity.

127

I have spent my life in jungles.

128

I have spent my life freezing in the Andes Mountains.

129

I have seen people die.

130

A little boy, Andrew Mamon, the Muslim shot him five times through the stomach and left him on a sidewalk simply because he cried out,

131

I am so afraid, but I can not deny Jesus Christ.

132

Please don't kill me, but I will not deny him.

133

And he died in a pool of blood.

134

And you talk about being a radical Christian because you wear a t-shirt.

135

Because you go to a conference.

136

I'm talking about holiness.

137

I'm talking about godliness.

138

I wish.

139

Do you know what a move of God would be in this place?

140

If all of you came under conviction.

141

If I myself came under conviction of the Holy Spirit, we fell down on our faces and weeped because we watched the things that God hates.

142

Because we wear the things that God hates.

143

Because we act like the world, look like the world, smell like the world.

144

Because we do the very things and we know not

145

that we do these things because we do not know the word of God.

146

Because even though we claim as a denomination that the scriptures are the infallible word of God, basically all we get is illustrations, stories and quaint little novels.

147

Oh, that God would blow on this place.

148

That we would turn away from our sin.

149

That we would renounce the things that are displeasing to God

150

and then that we would run to Him and we would relish Him and we would love Him.

151

Oh, that God would raise up missionaries.

152

I don't wish the same things your parents want for you.

153

They want for you security and insurance and nice homes.

154

They want for you cars and respect.

155

I want for you the same thing I want for my son, that one day he takes a banner, the banner of Jesus Christ

156

and he places it on a hill where no one has ever placed the banner before

157

and he cries out Jesus Christ is Lord even

158

if it costs my son his life oh when he's 18 years old

159

if he says to me the same thing I said

160

when I was a young man I'm going into the mountains I'm going into the jungle

161

and they say you can't go there you're insane it's a war you're going to die I'm going

162

when that little boy puts on that backpack, I'm going to pray over him and say, go!

163

Go!

164

God be with you.

165

And if you die, my son, I'll see you over there and I'll honor your death.

166

Oh my God, let's pray.

167

Let's pray.

168

Oh God, I don't care about reputation.

169

I don't care what men think.

170

I want you to be honored.

171

I want these young people to be saved.

172

I want those that are saved to stop looking around them at a cultural Christianity

173

that you hate and will spew out of your mouth and that they will look at the Word of God and say, I will follow Jesus.

174

Oh God, I pray for youth ministers and pastors and I pray

175

that you'd fill them with a spirit of wisdom and love and boldness and discernment.

176

And dear God, whatever the cost, I pray that you would raise up missionaries.

177

I can't help but look at these kids and think of my own little boy.

178

Oh, God, that you would save Ian and

179

that you would raise him up and send him into the worst part of the battle.

180

Oh, dear God, raise up missionaries here.

181

Raise up missionaries.

182

Raise up preachers and pastors and reachers and evangelists.

183

Know the Word of God.

184

Oh, God, work in this place.

185

Please work in this place, dear God.

186

Please.

187

Please.

188

Please.

189

Please.

190

Now with every head bowed, is there anyone here tonight that would say,

191

Brother Paul, I have been living a lie.

192

I claim to be a Christian, but I love the world, and I look like it and smell like it, and I hate myself for it.

193

And, Brother Paul, I am so tired of this Christianity that I'm living.

194

I'm just sick of it.

195

I'm just sick of it.

196

I want to be saved.

197

I want to be saved.

198

I just want you to stand up.

199

Father Paul, I want to be saved.

200

Amen. Is there anyone else?

201

I want to be saved.

202

Amen.

203

Amen.

204

Amen.

205

The moment we're going to have an invitation.

206

Those of you who stood up, I'm going to come down here and I want you to meet with me.

207

I want to talk to you.

208

Now, you may be seated.

209

Now I want to talk to those of you who claim to be Christians.

210

Does your life honor Jesus Christ?

211

are you looking in his word to find out how you're

212

supposed to live i pray with all my heart the only

213

thing that's going to save the church in america there's only

214

two possibilities one is a total reformation in our preaching in our study of the word of god

215

or the other is fierce horrifying persecution that's the only thing

216

that's going to save the church in america oh i pray i pray that you would return to the Word.

217

I pray.

218

Listen to me, young person.

219

You need to know.

220

You need to say, okay, how am I supposed to live before my parents?

221

Go into the Word, find out, obey it.

222

How am I supposed to dress?

223

Go into the Word, find out, and obey it.

224

How am I supposed to talk?

225

What am I supposed to listen to?

226

Bring every thought, word, and deed into subjection to Jesus Christ.

227

now I'm not going to ask you to stand

228

because I am so tired of people coming forward to make those commitments

229

and those commitments last in two minutes I'm not here so

230

that I can write up in my magazine

231

that a gazillion of you came forward I want you to go home

232

and I want you to live for Jesus Christ with all your heart but if you need counseling you say, Brother Paul I want to.

233

I want to live for Jesus Christ.

234

I don't know how.

235

I don't know how.

236

Then in a minute we're going to give an invitation.

237

I do want you to come forward.

238

Not to make a commitment.

239

You want to make a commitment?

240

You make that commitment right where you're seated.

241

You need to tell somebody?

242

You go tell your pastor.

243

You go tell your youth minister.

244

And you know what?

245

We'll know if that commitment lasts.

246

You know how?

247

Because it will last.

248

We'll know if it's from God.

249

Let me tell you something.

250

For everyone who's here right now, I want to tell you something.

251

If you made a decision to follow Jesus Christ, if you made a decision to get saved in these last two days, I want to tell you something.

252

If it was genuine, it will last.

253

If after a few weeks you go right back into the world, live like the world, act like the world, I want you to know something.

254

You didn't get anything here this weekend.

255

You got emotion.

256

That's about it.

257

If you really got something from the Lord, I want you to know something.

258

It will last.

259

And even if you try to run away from it, you won't be able to do it.

260

You won't be able to do it.

261

Oh, I love you so much.

262

I love you so much.

263

I would ask that we all stand.

264

If you need counseling about a decision that you have made, but it's not clear, I want you to come forward.

265

And I'm going to come right down here.

266

Those of you who stood up, there were many of you over there who say, I need to know Jesus Christ.

267

I want to come down here right now, and I want to meet with you, and I want to go back over here with you and some other counselors, and I want to talk to you.

268

And I want to tell you something.

269

Not a five minute deal, not a ten minute deal.

270

If you need to talk all night, we will stay.

271

That is the attitude of every counselor in this place.

272

We will stay all night if necessary.

273

All night.

274

God love you.

275

God love you.

276

Let me pray for you.

277

Dear God, please.

278

Lord, there has been so much movement.

279

Last night, Lord, I don't know how much of it was real, but I know that I saw people last night weeping.

280

I saw people trying to make commitments, and I believe that there was a great deal of what happened last night was of you.

281

I saw this morning a young man preach, Father, give his testimony, and I saw real working of the Holy Spirit.

282

I don't know how much of all the decisions were real, but there were some real things going on.

283

And I pray right now, Father.

284

I don't know how much will be real.

285

Only time and eternity will show us that.

286

But, oh dear God, please, please, Lord.

287

In Jesus' name, amen.

288

Thank you.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
