00:00 ♪♪
00:11 >> It has stood the test of time, God's book, 00:16 the Bible, still relevant in today's complex world. 00:24 "It Is Written," sharing messages of hope 00:28 around the world. ♪♪ 00:39 >> Hello, thank you for joining us on "It Is Written Canada." 00:42 This morning, we have a guest who's going to be talking to us 00:45 about prayer, and he's a missionary. 00:47 His name is Gem Castor. And this morning, we were having 00:50 worship here, and we were looking at prayer and the 00:53 subject of prayer. And it drew my attention to the 00:56 Psalms -- Psalm 5:3, where it says, "My voice shalt Thou 01:00 hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my 01:04 prayer unto thee, and will look up." 01:08 >> Gem, thank you so much for joining us on "It Is Written Canada" today. 01:12 We are honored to have you here, because I know you are very, very busy. 01:19 And so thank you for being with us here today. And we are really looking 01:23 forward to your series that you present, called "Absolute Reliance." 01:28 So, thank you so much, once again, for being here, Gem. >> Oh, thank you for having me. 01:33 [ Chuckles ] >> So, some of the thoughts that you were sharing with this 01:35 morning were on a quote -- a quote that Spurgeon -- Charles Spurgeon -- quoted of 01:41 Martin Luther and how that was an inspiration to you. 01:45 >> Yes, one of those quotes that really spoke to my heart is that 01:48 Luther was so busy, and he said that he could not get through 01:52 this crazy, busy day without less than three hours of prayer. 01:57 >> Three hours? >> And it just blew my mind. And all the while, I thought 02:00 that prayer is a waste of time. And he said there -- And he said that if you have time for 02:06 secondary duties, God has given us time for primary ones. And the line that really spoke 02:11 to my heart, in the last line, it says, "If you do not forget your --" Oh, it says here, "your 02:17 other engagements would run smoothly if you do not forget your engagements with God." 02:23 >> Hmm. >> Hmm. >> And it really spoke to my 02:25 heart because, most of the time, we forget our engagement with God. 02:28 We forget our time with God, because we think that spending time with Him is a waste of 02:33 time. But, actually, it is not. >> So, how did you discover 02:36 this. For yourself, did you -- you know, you came into a Christian 02:40 home, and you were a very obedient child, and your mother taught you how to pray, and you 02:45 just -- you've been praying all your life? >> [ Chuckles ] 02:48 I wish I could say that. I was -- I was an obedient child, not because I want to 02:54 obey. This is quite -- quite funny, because my mom is quite strict. 02:58 >> Okay. >> My mom -- You know Filipino women. 03:01 >> Mm-hmm. >> You have -- You have been around a lot of Filipinos. 03:04 Yeah, by the way, I'm a Filipino, so if you could not tell. 03:08 [ Chuckles ] And my mom -- they call my mom a Hitler mom. 03:11 >> Wow. >> Yeah, so, I go to church because I'm not -- I'm not 03:16 wanting my limbs to be broken. [ Laughter ] So, my mom is quite like, "You 03:22 have to go," and now questions. >> Yeah. >> So, I go to church. 03:27 I'm a prayerful kid because I want to please my mom. >> You were being obedient, 03:32 right. >> [ Laughs ] >> I guess your mom had to kind 03:35 of be a Hitler mom because there were six of you. >> Oh, yes. 03:39 >> And you're the youngest of six, so she needed to be pretty strict, right? 03:43 >> And you know what? I thank God for giving me a Hitler mom, because I don't know 03:48 where will I be if I don't have a mom like that, because sometimes when we are kids, we 03:53 don't -- we don't really know what we're -- what we're choosing. 03:56 >> Right. >> So I grew up in a church mostly with the form of being 04:01 a Christian, but not really having Christ inside. I was -- I was looking outside 04:07 of the church and looking at the other kids and thinking what life would be if I enjoy my 04:14 life. Right? They're partying. And they're outside. 04:18 >> So, life was not, for you, in the church. Life was outside the church. 04:22 Life was, you know, "Get out of here." And you dreamt about that? 04:27 You thought about that? Was that the way you were thinking? 04:30 >> Yes, I thought about that. But at the same time, I was practicing being Christian. 04:35 >> Okay. >> I was active. Don't get me wrong. 04:37 I was active. I was a youth leader. I even became our conference 04:40 youth leader... >> Ooh, wow. >> ...leading thousands of young 04:44 people. But people didn't know that deep inside, I had some struggles. 04:48 I had -- I had a longing. >> Mm-hmm. >> And my longing was not really 04:53 for God. I had some longing for God, but not really sold out for the 04:57 Lord. >> Mm-hmm. >> So I was -- I was dreaming of 04:59 something. There's this thought running in my head, like, "What would be 05:03 life if -- What would be like -- What life would be if I spend it not for the Lord but fully 05:11 for me?" >> Yeah. >> Mm-hmm. 05:14 >> So, that kind of reminds of the parable of the lost coin. >> [ Chuckles ] 05:18 >> So, because the coin didn't know it was lost, and it was inside the house, so it's inside 05:23 the church. So, really, Gem, you were lost and you were inside the church. 05:29 And you didn't realize that you were lost, did you? >> You thought you were saved... 05:34 >> Yes. >> ...because you were such a leader and you were performing 05:37 all the Christian "duties" that you were taught to do. But it really doesn't sound like 05:41 it was from the heart. >> Yes, I was a hypocrite. And I could call myself, "I'm 05:47 the prodigal coin." [ Laughter ] But then something happened. 05:51 Like, it's -- it's quite a turnaround when -- when I begin to hear testimonies after 05:58 testimonies of people who have been moved by God, people who have been used by God. 06:03 And there's this beautiful verse in Romans 10:17, which says, "So 06:08 then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." 06:11 But then, even if heard those words, there's still doubt in my head, "Are they really speaking 06:18 the right story? Or maybe they are just trying to convince me to join them?" 06:23 When missionaries tell their stories, the thing that came to my head is, like, "Uh, they're 06:29 just -- they're just fooling me." >> Right. 06:33 >> "It's not true. They just want me to suffer with them." 06:36 >> So, they were trying to persuade you, in your mind? >> In my mind. 06:40 >> And it was, "Faith comes by hearing." You had heard the Word of God, 06:45 and it really hadn't changed you. >> Yeah. 06:47 >> And so what was happening? How did that change come about? Because, obviously, there was a 06:51 change from how you felt before. >> There was a youth conference back then, and I was the one 06:55 leading out in this youth conference. I'm the one organizing. 06:59 I'm the president of this youth conference. But, deep inside, I was really 07:03 converted. >> Okay. >> And I guess this is -- this 07:07 is so true to most of us inside the church. So, this speaker -- wonderful 07:12 speaker -- was sharing this amazing story -- great stories after one another. 07:17 Extreme, powerful stories. And then I looked at him, and I said to myself, "Why am I not 07:24 having that experience?" >> Mm-hmm. >> "I want to have that 07:28 experience." And then there was this call, and he gave this call, "If you 07:32 want to follow God, you have to follow Him with all of your heart. 07:37 That's the cost. All of your heart. You have to leave everything." 07:41 I'm thinking, "Oh, I don't want to leave everything." And he said, "If you want to 07:47 follow the Lord, then go at it 100%, because you could not go on a half-hearted decision 07:54 with God." >> Right. >> He said, "The worst decision 07:57 that you could make is to be half in the world and half with the Lord." 08:02 >> Mm. >> And that's what my life has been. 08:04 >> Mm-hmm. >> It's -- It's been like that. So, when he made that call, I 08:09 was just like -- my heart was being pierced. I'm thinking, "I don't want to 08:13 let go, but I want to have that kind of life." >> Yes. 08:17 >> "I want to have that kind of experience." >> So, there was -- the 08:20 Holy Spirit was working. >> Exactly. >> Yeah. 08:22 >> And He was guiding you. But before that, you weren't really a Holy Spirit-led 08:28 Christian. >> [ Chuckles ] >> You were, I guess -- Paul 08:33 talks about carnally minded, you know, being controlled by the body, controlled by your own 08:39 human sinful tendencies, but thinking you're a Christian. >> Yeah. 08:44 >> So, would that describe how you were? >> Oh, yes. 08:47 And a carnal Christian or a cerebral Christian. >> "Cerebral" meaning your mind, 08:52 so you just -- you think about it, so you're logical, you're theoretical in your 08:57 Christianity. You can give all the right answers, but you're sort of like 09:02 a car without an engine. >> Yes. >> Or maybe [Chuckles] you're 09:07 riding in your sailboat and you're using your oars, but you don't have the sail up and it's 09:12 not catching the wind. >> No. Life was heavy. I pretend to be happy. 09:17 I'm happy. I'm a happy kid. I'm a crazy-go-lucky kid. But, deep inside, the moment 09:23 you're alone in your room, it's just like there's that emptiness. 09:26 >> Yeah. >> There's just this void. And when I saw that man 09:31 speaking, I was just like, "I want to have that kind of life." And especially when he talked 09:37 about this missionary called George Mueller. >> Hmm. 09:41 >> And he talked about this guy who lived by faith and not by sight. 09:45 Every time he needed something, he kneels down. He don't tell people about his 09:49 needs. He doesn't let them know. And he hint that he needed 09:52 something. And just imagine, he has an orphanage and taking care of a 09:58 hundred kids. >> Mm. >> Just imagine that. 10:00 Not receiving any salary, not receiving any regular stipend. And he wants to prove to people, 10:05 because he lived in a time where almost nobody believed that there is a God who hears and 10:08 answers prayer. >> Right. >> And when he passed away, 10:11 60-plus years of his ministry -- When he passed away, they had a tally of every answer to his 10:16 prayer. >> Mm-hmm. >> And -- And they had a grand 10:20 total of $7,250,000 U.S. worth of answer to his prayer. >> Wow. 10:26 >> Wow. >> If that will not get your attention, I don't know what 10:30 will. >> Wow. Well, before we continue hearing 10:33 all about George Mueller, we're going to take a break now and we're going to listen to a song 10:38 called "Be Like Jesus." >> Mm-hmm. 10:41 [ Soft music plays ] ♪♪ 11:05 >> ♪ Teach, me, Father, what to say ♪ ♪ Teach me, Father, how to 11:17 pray ♪ ♪ Teach me all along the way ♪ How to be like Jesus 11:33 >> ♪ Be like Jesus, this my song ♪ ♪ In the home and in the 11:45 throng ♪ ♪ Be like Jesus, all day long ♪ I would be like Jesus 12:02 >> ♪ Teach me how we may be one ♪ ♪ Like the Father and the Son 12:17 >> ♪ And when all is overcome ♪ I would be like Jesus >> ♪ Be like Jesus, this my 12:38 song ♪ ♪ In the home and in the throng ♪ 12:46 ♪ Be like Jesus, all day long ♪ I would be like Jesus [ Instrumental music plays ] 13:06 ♪♪ 13:22 ♪ Be like Jesus, this my song ♪ In the home and in the throng ♪ 13:36 ♪ Be like Jesus, all day long 13:44 ♪ I would be like Jesus 13:59 >> There's one thing about a song, and that is that, especially if it's a hymn, that 14:04 it's a prayer. "To be like Jesus, this my song, in the home and in the 14:09 throng. Be like Jesus all day long, I would be like Jesus" -- 14:15 beautiful words. >> Mm-hmm. So, Gem, you were telling us 14:18 about George Mueller, and you mentioned something about orphanages. 14:22 >> Mm-hmm. >> Can you tell us more about that? 14:25 >> So, when George Mueller passed away, they just discovered the Lord has been 14:30 answering his prayer, one after another, and it tallied to $7,250,000 U.S. 14:36 >> Mmm. >> So, some of that spoke to my heart, like, "Wow. 14:40 This is what happens when you take God seriously." >> He wasn't asking people for 14:44 money? >> No. >> They were just sending it 14:46 to him? >> No donation, no solicitation campaign. 14:50 He would just the Lord. And the Lord moves the heart of His people. 14:54 One by one, people would just come to him and give this. And you know what blows my mind 14:59 even more is that this story did not happen like 10 years ago. 15:02 >> Yes. >> It happened in the 1800s. >> Yes. 15:05 >> So, when you convert the money, it will amount to like more than $200 million U.S. 15:10 >> Wow. So, he -- I understand something about George Mueller's story, 15:14 that it wasn't just one orphanage. >> Mnh-mnh. 15:17 >> He bought a number of buildings, and they were completely paid off. 15:21 He never had a debt. >> Yes. >> So, you had these five huge 15:24 buildings at a place called Ashley Down. And there was hundreds of 15:29 children. So he didn't do all this, taking care of children by himself. 15:33 >> No. >> No. >> So, there's a lot of people 15:36 who were involved. And God is just the one who's providing everything for this. 15:41 >> And the salaries, everything was paid for. >> Yes. 15:43 >> The food. >> Oh. >> Sometimes they would pray 15:46 for food. >> Yeah. >> And they didn't have any 15:48 food, and someone would knock on the door and show up, and they'd have all the food ready for 15:53 them. So, that is amazing. Did you experience things 15:56 like this? >> Oh, before I experienced things like this, the thing that 16:01 came to my mind is that if this story is real, then I have to ask God, "If you are the same 16:08 God like George Mueller's God, then I'll see if it's working right now," because, for me, God 16:14 was not real before. Growing up, I know about God in theory but not in practice. 16:19 >> Right. >> So I even asked God, "If you want me to be a missionary, then 16:23 I'll try if this life works right now in this 20th century." And I said to God, "If you want 16:30 me to be a missionary, I will not receive any salary. I will not receive any stipend. 16:34 I will only depend upon you and -- and see if it works." >> Wow. 16:39 That is a prayer of faith. >> Oh, it's not my faith. It's not my faith. 16:43 >> How did you feel? Were you scared? >> I was scared. 16:45 I was a scared little Filipino. >> [ Chuckles ] >> Going forward, I could not... 16:49 And I'm thinking, "I could not do this on my own." And the fact that I'm a business 16:54 graduate, when you're into business, you calculate everything. 16:59 You calculate the risk in all, and the risk is too much, especially going out without 17:05 salary and all. And by the way, during this time, I was still a 17:10 photographer. >> Mm-hmm. >> I had a business. 17:13 And gradually, the Lord moved me into this missionary field. And the Lord closed down my 17:18 miss-- not my mission. The Lord closed down my business. 17:22 >> Mm. >> And when the Lord closed down my business, I gave God a try. 17:26 "Okay, so, what do you want me to do?" And for the past nine years, 17:31 I have no salary, no stipend, but God has been bringing me from place to place to place. 17:37 >> Yes. >> And from mission to mission. >> You have been traveling... 17:40 >> [ Chuckles ] >> ...all over the world, literally, and you didn't 17:45 have -- you have no guaranteed salary. >> Mm-hmm. 17:49 >> How do you do that? >> Can you give us an example of how God provided for you? 17:54 Like, just the way -- Yeah, just the provision that he made? >> That's -- 17:59 >> Yeah, just give us an example. >> Okay, so, I could think of 18:03 one, because when people ask me -- when they tell me -- when I tell them I'm a missionary, 18:07 the next thing that they ask is, "So, where is your mission field?" 18:10 And I told them, "I actually don't have -- don't have a regular mission field." 18:14 They say, "That's weird. You're a missionary, and you don't have a mission field. 18:17 How does that work?" And I tell them, "When I'm in Asia, the Lord brings me to one 18:22 country after another, almost every week -- almost every month." 18:26 And right now, it's almost every week. And when I'm in the U.S., it's 18:29 almost every week, I go to different states. And they said, "So, how is that 18:34 possible?" And I said, "I come to the Lord, I pray to Him, and I tell Him, 18:39 'If it's your will for me to go to the places that invites me, then you will have to provide. 18:43 I will not tell people about my need. I'll only tell you.'" 18:47 And a few hours later, sometimes a few days later, I will receive a phone call, and the phone call 18:52 will go like this. "Hey, Gem, are you going somewhere?" 18:55 And -- And most of it are long-distance call. I'm thinking, "That's weird. 19:00 I didn't tell anyone. Well, people are calling me." [ Chuckles ] 19:05 And then I'll tell them, "How did you know?" And then they'll tell me, 19:09 "I was asleep last night, and the Lord woke me up. And I could not go back to bed 19:13 until I resolved to give you a call the next morning. So, where are you going?" 19:17 And I'll tell them, "I'll go to Malaysia, Indonesia." And then they said, "Okay, 19:22 consider your tickets bought." >> Yes. >> [ Chuckles ] 19:25 >> I know, for myself, I had heard something about your story. 19:29 I heard that you were talking at a certain church -- actually, in Tennessee -- and I was living in 19:34 British Columbia at the time. And so I prayed to the Lord, and I said, "If you want me to talk 19:40 to Gem, let our paths cross." >> [ Chuckles ] >> And it wasn't too much, a few 19:44 months later, I met you in Ottawa. >> Mm-hmm. 19:46 >> And I said to you, "Would you come and talk with us on "It Is Written Canada?" 19:50 And you said, "Yes. I will be there." And then, last week, 19:53 you were in? >> Last week, I was in Fountainview Academy. 19:56 >> In British Columbia? >> British Columbia, yeah. >> And the week before that? 19:59 >> A week before that? I'm losing track now. I was in Tennessee. 20:03 >> Tennessee, okay. >> The week before that, I was in Silver Spring, Maryland. 20:07 A week before that, I was in Walla Walla. [ Laughs ] 20:10 >> And next week, you're going to be in Cambodia? >> I will be in Cambodia. 20:14 >> Okay. So, God is leading you? >> Mm-hmm. >> And you're not afraid 20:19 anymore? >> Of all the things that I have seen, of all the evidence that I 20:25 have seen what God can do, it's just like an insult to -- to be scared. 20:31 It's an insult to somehow to doubt. Being scared is normal. 20:36 And for me, I guess, being scared, having that fear sometimes will somehow remind 20:41 me, "Hey, do not forget to lean on the Lord who has brought you thus far." 20:47 >> Yes. So many times, in the Scriptures, the Lord says, 20:51 "Do not be afraid," right? "Fear not." And He repeats that over and 20:55 over again, yeah. >> It's awe-inspiring and encouraging just to listen to 21:01 you, because it sounds like God is your secretary and your event planner... 21:08 >> Yeah. >> ...and your organizer. And He's scheduling all your 21:12 appointments for you, and you're just letting him do it. That's so encouraging and so 21:17 inspirational. >> You are so true in that. And I discovered that God is the 21:22 best planner. God is the best travel agent. >> [ Chuckles ] 21:26 >> He could schedule things that you could not think about. And I remember, one time, when 21:30 my -- when my sister asked me. This was the first year of me being a missionary. 21:35 And it's quite -- It's quite scary at first, because I don't know what -- after that mission 21:40 trip, I don't know where I'm going to going -- where I'm going to go, I mean. 21:43 And then my sister asked me, "Hey, are you going to take this mission work seriously?" 21:50 And I'm thinking, "Am I not taking this seriously?" I said, "What do you mean?" 21:54 And she said, "At least take a mission field and stay there so that you'll have security, so 22:00 that you'll have -- you'll have a place to somehow to grow. And what if you have a family 22:06 later on? How could you support them?" And then it scared me. 22:10 I'm thinking, "Oh, no, I could not even take care of a goldfish. 22:14 How much more a wife?" [ Laughter ] So -- So it scared me, and I -- 22:19 I somehow came to the Lord and asked Him, "Lord, so, what should I do? 22:23 Should I accept -- Should I accept the offers that was given to me? 22:28 Should I apply?" And the Lord was silent. >> Mm-hmm. 22:31 >> And then I realized -- and this is one thing I learned -- the Lord is silent because I 22:35 talk too much. >> Hmm. 22:37 >> And I learned this beautiful verse, Psalm 46:10, which says, 22:40 "Be still and know that I am God." 22:44 My translation for that is -- this is Gem's version -- 22:47 "Be still. I am God. You are not. So shut up." 22:53 [ Laughter ] So I shut up. And the moment I shut up -- and 22:57 it's so amazing, when we are being still in the presence of God. 23:02 >> Yeah. >> And the Lord just reminded me, "Who took care of you for 23:05 the past year?" >> Mm-hmm. >> "Who took care of all those 23:08 trips, of how you were led from one place to another?" And I said, "Okay, Lord, 23:13 I give this to You." I surrendered it. And the moment I surrendered 23:18 it, I had peace. And you know what's the most amazing thing? 23:21 The moment I said, "I surrender this," a day after, I received phone call, I received e-mail, I 23:26 received text messages inviting me to go from this place or that place or that place. 23:31 My whole three months were booked... >> Wow. 23:33 >> Mm. >> ...the moment I gave that to the Lord. 23:36 And after the three months, I learned something. And I said, "Lord, now I learned 23:40 something." >> Yeah. >> "I'm going to give it 23:43 to You." Sometimes we say to the Lord, "I'm going to give it to You," 23:47 but we are not really giving it all. >> We're just holding something. 23:50 >> We're holding something. But God is so patient. After the three months, he 23:54 showed me. He booked me for another six months. 23:58 >> Mm. >> After that six months, fully booked for six months, every 24:02 single week. After that six months, I said to the Lord, "I learned my lesson. 24:06 I will not put my finger in any of your plans." And the Lord a year and a 24:11 quarter in advance. >> Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. >> So, what can we say? 24:15 >> That's amazing. >> So, you are a man who has taken God at His word. 24:22 >> Mm-hmm. >> Is it something unusual, or can God do this for anyone? 24:30 >> Oh, I could -- I could definitely say that this is what God desires for anyone. 24:35 >> Yeah. >> For me, I'm scared doing this, and I'm not doing this 24:38 because I'm courageous. I'm not doing this because my faith is so strong. 24:42 I'm doing this only by the grace of God. >> Yeah. 24:45 >> It's only by His grace. >> Yeah. >> So His grace is sufficient 24:48 for all of us. >> Mm-hmm. >> So, you're -- You are saying 24:51 to all of us that it is possible for any human being to live the kind of life you're living? 24:57 >> Oh, very possible. If God calls you for this -- for this kind of life, it's the God 25:03 who calls you that will sustain you, who will supply your need, and who is our God. 25:08 >> Yes. >> A powerful God, an amazing God, and a faithful God. 25:12 >> Mm-hmm. >> Mm-hmm. >> So, Gem, we've come to the 25:15 end of our time, but I would like you to close off with prayer for us. 25:19 Can you do that for us? >> I will gladly do it. >> Okay. 25:22 >> Let's bow our heads. Dear God, loving Heavenly Father, Lord, we praise and we 25:26 thank You because You are such an amazing, powerful, and a faithful God. 25:31 >> Mm-hmm. >> Lord, I ask that You please convict our hearts, that we will 25:35 give you a chance in our hearts, in our lives, we'll let you lead our lives, O Lord. 25:41 Dear Father, I pray that You please pour Your spirit upon us and be with all of us here and 25:47 especially to all our viewers and listeners.
