Testimony of a Billionaire Banker to Jesus Christ

My name is Georges Elkhoury. I would like to tell you my testimony. I was born to a poor family in Lebanon 84 years ago. That's it. I'm 84 years old and all I wanted out of life was to be happy, like every person who listens to me. You want to be happy in this life and that's what I wanted, to be happy. And I thought that to be happy you have to have money, a lot of money. One must become powerful and one must watch for all the pleasures of life. And I thought the best pleasure was the pleasure of sex. So like me, I got married young in Lebanon and I had four or four children. But I absolutely wanted to be happy. So what to do, you know? What did I do? I left my children. I left my four little children. I left my wife. I left Lebanon. And I got divorced. I came to Europe to have a lot of money, become powerful and taste all the pleasures of life and especially sex. And I got all this. I managed to get all that. I became very rich. I had a lot of money, a lot of money and I became powerful. I founded five banks in the world, five banks. And as for the pleasure of sexual relations, I have not had as many as King Solomon of hundreds of wives. Maybe I even got to 2000 and tried all that and couldn't be happy. I didn't know what to do to be happy anymore. So I wanted to draw attention to myself again and I learned to fly. And one day I was flying a Cessna plane over Paris. I was alone on the plane and I was the pilot. Suddenly the plane was going to crash in a few moments. I knew I was going to die. What does a person who has everything in life, who has all the money, power and pleasure think when he's going to die, when he's on his deathbed? I know I tried it. It is fear. The fear of discovering what is after death. The fear of death. But the plane hit the ground. It crashed. It was in pieces and I was watching. I had nothing. I came out unscathed. Just that finger was crushed and I thought it was by my own power that I escaped death. But now I realize that there is someone who loved me and whose name is Jesus Christ. God, the son of God, who saved me from certain death because he has a plan in my life. He has a plan for each of you. But at the time I wasn't interested in him and I went on in my life, in my life of debauchery and pleasure and money and power and sex. But I was not happy. I could not find happiness with these ingredients. Exactly 20 years ago, I was still in London, managing director of two banks in London and head of a bank in the United States in Houston. These three banks, I founded myself from nothing. I am the founder. In short, I founded five banks around the world, two banks in London, a bank in the United States, a bank in Bahrain, in the Arabian Gulf, and I participated in the creation of a bank in Geneva. I became powerful, rich, powerful. I had apartments everywhere. My apartment in Paris was on Avenue Foch, one of the most beautiful avenues in the world. My apartment in the United States was in New York at Train Plaza, one of the most beautiful buildings in the United States. As for the house I lived in in London, a real castle and mansion, as the English say, it was in Tukinam, 10 kilometers from London. And I had a garden the size of a football field. The River Lattemise bordered my garden, therefore in my garden, I would watch the boats go down the Thames and I could anchor a boat at the edge of my garden, like you park your car in a garage. This is the kind of luxury that I lived to go to my American girlfriend's house. I was flying Concorde from London to New York. I went often, and when the plane landed at George Kennedy Port in New York, there was a helicopter waiting for me. I would get off the plane, take the helicopter, and the helicopter would take me right outside my apartment to the Plaza Train in New York. That was the luxury I lived in. Let me give you another example of luxury. The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, his name was John Major. He was inviting me to an annual banker's banker for a banker's dinner, and I remember I was getting the invitation. I declined the Prime Minister's invitation. I was not interested in the Prime Minister. I was only interested in myself, in my pleasure, in my money, in my luxury, all to be happy. But I wasn't happy. I couldn't find that happiness. There are a lot of businessmen listening to us, and I say to them, oh business women, you know what I'm talking about. You have all the money, the power, the fun, but you're not There's a void here that you can't fill with power and money and sex, and you're looking for, and you can't find. I have found, I have found what I need to fill this void with. In short, it is not what, it is not something, it is someone, and his name is Jesus Christ. It is he alone. When he comes into your life, he comes and fills that void and gives you joy and peace and satisfaction. As for me, at that time I was not interested in him, and I always sought to be happy by money, by power, by sexual relations. But one day, one day I had a big problem. I was subject to terrible blackmail. I was being blackmailed by a woman who wanted to destroy me, who accused me of sexual harassment, and who was going to reveal everything. I will lose everything. My position, my returns, my wives, my girlfriends, everything was lost. It would have been a scandal in London. I was the boss of two banks in London, a famous man, a great financier, and the scandal would have broken the next day, and I would have lost everything. And someone told me about Jesus Christ who can solve my problem, and I screamed, Jesus Christ, if you really are the Son of God, if you really are, God solve my problem tonight, and I'll change my life and give up this life of debauchery. And I promise you, if you solve my problem, I won't have sex outside of marriage again. Dear viewer, just now, the problem has been solved. The blackmail has disappeared, and the problem is gone completely, and that is this great businessman, this great financier, this great proud man, bent his knees, and I fell to my knees and cried, Jesus Christ, who are you? You are truly God. You are truly the Son of God. You have fulfilled your commitment. You have solved my problem, and I, in turn, I promise you, I change my life. No more sex outside of marriage, and I want to know you. I want to follow you. And the person who introduced me, Jesus, who told me about himself, put his hand on my head and led me in the prayer of salvation. I fell to my knees, full of misery, full of problems, full of heaviness, full of words, blackmail, the sins, and I got up. All the problems disappeared. All the anxiety disappeared. All the heaviness disappeared, and I felt a joy. And happiness invades me. And for the first time in my life, dear viewer, at the age of 65, I received this happiness. This happiness I sought for 65 years through money and power and sex and pleasure, and I didn't get it. I just got it for free the moment I received Jesus Christ of Nazareth. I was surprised. I was no longer the same man. I felt that my heart of stone was removed and replaced by a heart of flesh, a heart of flesh. Everything was different. I noticed that the sky was blue. I noticed that the garden was green with the grass. I was different. My heart of stone was removed and replaced with a heart of flesh. So I turned to this person who was talking to me about Jesus, and I say to him, but what is happening to me? I'm not the same person anymore. What's happening to me? And he says to me, you're born again. That's the new birth. That's the relationship with Jesus Christ. You now have eternal life because you have accepted Jesus Christ. Dear viewer, my life changed from that moment on, and I became a different man. I can no longer lie. I can no longer cheat. I can only do good, and I wanted at that moment to get married, to have a good life, to have sex in marriage, and I begged the Lord to show me who he wants me to marry, and I wanted to marry one of my old friends, but in a moment of despair when I cried, Lord, I need a woman. We'll find a woman. I say to him, I will open now the Bible and show me in your word, in the Bible, who you want to give me as a wife, and I opened the Bible, and I come across Malachi 14, and I start reading. You say, why? Because the Lord was witness between you and the wife of your youth whom you betrayed, and the Lord was witness of your marriage, and he adds, do not betray the wife of your youth, for I, the Lord God of Israel, hate divorce, and I hear in my heart, return to the wife of your youth. The mother of your four children whom you abandoned and divorced 31 years ago, dear telespiritors, after 31 years of divorce and separation with the mother of my four children, I obeyed God, and I returned to my wife, to the mother of my four children, to the wife of my youth, and I married her after 31 years of separation and divorce. That's what the Lord said. He has done in my heart the work he has done in my heart, and he has restored to me the years that the devil has stolen. My four children have forgiven me. They are all next to me, and my turn is even. I have nine children, nine little children who love me. They surprise me by bringing me coffee in bed. The Lord has returned to me the years that the devil stole, as he wants to return to each of you the years that the devil stole, dear TV senator. What I have received from Jesus Christ, you can have yourself. Just ask him, tell him, open your heart, and tell him if it is true that you are, that you are powerful, if it is true that you are God, if it is true that you are the son of God, touch me, give me back the years that the devil has stolen, change my life, provide for me, show yourself to me, give me this happiness. If you open your heart to him in this way, and talk to him in this way, know that he has already touched you, and that your life will never be the same. Know that you are born again, that your past has been forgiven and forgotten, and that you're beginning a new life, a new beginning with Jesus Christ in a life of happiness and joy, and that you're going to inherit the kingdom of heaven, and you're saved, and you're never going to die again. You will close your eyes, but you will no longer go. You will continue to live immediately. You will pass into the presence of Jesus Christ in heaven for eternity. Glory to you, Lord, Lord. Give them what you have given me, Lord. Remove the veil that covers their face, show yourself to them, and give them salvation. Lord, let them uncover you, Lord. Let them serve you, Lord. Glory to you, Lord, King of kings and Lord of lords. I give you the glory for changing my life, and giving me back the years the devil stole, giving me back everything the devil stole from me before, and giving me this joy, his indescribable happiness. You have taken away the fear of death from me, for I know that I shall not die, but live. I already live in eternity with you, King of kings and Lord of lords.
