I got so low at one stage in my life that I even
considered suicide. Because of all that has happened,
I became a loner. No one could get close to me.
I wouldn't let anyone get close to me. But I
got desperate. And one night I was saying, you
know, how come I'm so lonely? Why isn't anyone
with me? That's it, mate. The Lord said, I've
always been here. God promises in Joel 2 .28
to pour out His Spirit on all humanity. Welcome
to global outpouring, where we contend for that
promised outpouring, we equip for that outpouring,
so that we may engage in that very outpouring.
I'm Philip Buss. And I'm Sharon Buss. Welcome
to the podcast today. We have with us yet another
friend from the ends of the earth, from New Zealand,
one of these wonderful Maori. people that have
had just a mighty move of the Holy Spirit in
their tribe for a long, long time. And this one
is called Papa James or Papa Jim, James Watene.
And he is going to share with us his testimony
of how he started out as a child known by the
name of Boy. He didn't even know he had a name.
His mother just called him Boy. and how he grew
up and God has been using him in a powerful way,
where he has come from this place of rejection
into an anointing of compassion. Thanks so much

have been with some of your friends, Sandy and
Princess Jensen and Richard and Sarah Tito. And
they've been telling us that you have some amazing
stories. So we wanted to hear from you also about
things that God is doing in New Zealand and things
that he's done in your life. So welcome to the
Global Outpouring Podcast. Thank you. Thank you.
First of all, let me offer my praise and my thanks
to my Father in Heaven who has enabled me to
leave my country of birth and provide. For He
is the God of provision. He is the God who has
covered me with His glory and His love. So all
praise and glory must go to Him initially. So
thank you. Thank you for your welcome. Oh, that's
sweet. I love that. So you were telling me before
we got started with the recording that... In
order for you to get your passport, you had to
get your birth certificate. That's right. That's
true. And you made a discovery that you've been
called by names that weren't given to you initially.
Yeah, absolutely. Tell us about it. I'm still
getting over it. All my life I've been known
by two other names. My first one when I was a
child. My mother gave me the name Boy. I don't
know whether it was meant as punishment, but
when she called out Boy, I knew it was me she
wanted to see. Then when I started school, somewhere
the name Jim, James came up. I don't know who
started it, but right through the age of my adult
life, I was known as either Jim or James, Jim
preferably. Upon discovering that, or being persuaded
by Father that this was a necessary part of my
journey with him, I had to apply for my birth
certificate to get a passport. And so I duly
did it and discovered that wasn't my name. That's
incredible. Wow, shocking, shocking. Absolutely
shocking. And the person behind the counter said,
no, that's not me because that's not my name.
And it is, sir, that is your name. And I said,
oh. Well, that's very shocking. And so for about
80 years, you've been going by the wrong name.
I mean, even now I don't use the name Parni because
I'm so used to being called Jim or James. So
Parni is just something that's on my driver's
license, my passport, and that's it. But before
that, were you using... Jim. You were using Jim
on your driver's license? Yep, James. Wow. Wow.
So, Pani Miri Miri Wateni... That's me. ...is
your real name. Yep, that's me in the flesh.
So what does that mean? I thought, I haven't
quite got the true thing, but I always thought
it was massaging my mummy's feet, because Miri
Miri is the... A massage that the Maori do. Oh,
okay. Midi midi they massage. And I always thought
that was when my mother, as she was getting older,
apparently I used to give her a massage. Oh my.
But she wouldn't have called you that from birth
for that reason. I had no idea. It's one of the
mysteries that sort of comes with my heritage,
I suppose. Wow. With my lineage. So you're Maori?
Yes, I am. I'm three -quarter caste, as they
say. What does that mean? Well, you have people
who say pure Irish. Yeah. There's no mixture
in their heritage. Right. Then you have them
that may have a mixture of Welsh and amongst
it all, or Danish. Right, right. So in New Zealand,
then you become... Half. Okay, so if one parent
is Maori, you're half. Yeah. Okay. So then you
become, you're either a half -caste or three
-quarter. Yeah. And that tells you how much of
your native is in you, like I'm three -quarter
Maori. So that means three grandparents were
Maori and one grandparent was not. And one parent
was not. Okay. So were you raised in a Christian
home? No, I wasn't. My life was sad in a way,
I suppose. But in hindsight, it was a necessary
pass that Father was leading me or taking me
through that was necessary for the work I am
doing now. Yes. We were taken, my other three
siblings and myself, away from my mother when
I was seven by the state. My father, who worked,
had his own house, wasn't allowed to keep the
family. Because in those days, men were not considered
suitable solo parents, even though they were
working or if they had wealth or a home, they
weren't allowed to be solo parents, whereas women
were. Yeah. So we were taken off. My sisters
stayed together and my brother and myself were
split. Now, this is the beginning of my life
because I loved my father, my earth father, as
I loved my heavenly father. Beautiful. And I
couldn't understand why I couldn't go to my father.
Now, at seven years old, to be suddenly snatched
away from my father, I grew a sense of rebellion.
I rebelled against authority. Sure. So no matter
where they put me in the North Island, I knew
where my daddy worked. No matter what home they
put me in, I would run away. Oh, wow. I would
hitchhike and I would just walk and get back
to Auckland. And when my dad finished work, I
would be waiting outside work. Wow. So he would
take me home, feed me, bath me. Then he'd have
to ring the welfare system. Oh. And they would
come and take me away and put me in another home.
Oh, that's tragic. These homes, I learned the
feel of jug cords across my back, belts across
my buttocks, hobnail boots across my back. I
learned the power of someone punching. I learned
all the violence was done and I could not respond.
So my response was run away. Sure. Then I went
down a pathway of crime. I started stealing to
get back to my dad. I'd steal money. You imagine
a nine -year -old boy in a car that you could
just see over the dashboard driving down the
highway trying to get back to his dad. And that's
the thing I was doing. So I ended up in boys'
homes and different things, correction institutions.
And when I turned 15, I was advised by our housemaster,
I was in a boys' home, that my father had died
four years ago. No. Now. Oh, no. That broke me.
Oh, sure. Now I asked why. They said, oh, they
didn't know where you were. And I said, pardon?
I've been in the system, in your system, since
I was a little child. I said, I've been in the
system. You knew where I was. Why didn't you
tell me? So that reinforced that antagonism I
had towards authority. Sure. I got so low at
one stage in my life that I even considered suicide.
And I couldn't understand why nobody was with
me. Because of all that has happened, I became
a loner. No one could get close to me. I wouldn't
let anyone get close to me. But I got desperate.
And one night I was saying, you know, how come
I'm so lonely? Why isn't anyone with me? That's
it, mate. The Lord said. I've always been here.
Beautiful. And I couldn't believe it. I looked
around, I turned the light on in the room. Who
said that? Speaking to see a ghost or something.
No, I'm hearing things. I'm hearing things. He
says, no, I've always been here. And I said,
well, who was I? I've always been here. Who are
you? I must be going crazy. At this point of
ending my life, I'm starting to hear things.
And he says, no, I am your heavenly father. Oh,
beautiful. I have always been with you, my son.
Wow. And at that age, I was 38 years old. Oh,
my. And I thought, wow. So since then, he has
nurtured me, he has trained me, he has reared
me. He has filled my life. Beautiful, beautiful.
And through him, I reach out to others because
I don't want them to miss out the love that Father
has. Yes. And that is an all -consuming love.
It is a love that overcomes everything. It is
a love that heals. Yes. And a lot of hearts have
been broken, a lot of lives have been broken,
and they just need the healing love of our Heavenly
Father. Yes. You know, it healed me. Hallelujah.
So I've dedicated my life to Him, you know, to
His purpose, His will. I struggled against it
when I had to come here because I couldn't understand
why one... I'm a nobody. I just do what he wants
me to do. I go and help others. I am but a humble
servant, so how could he choose me? You know,
Sandy is my pastor. It's interesting how I met
him, but that's another story. And I approached
Sandy three days before we were due to come.
I'd had my passport and all that, but I was still,
no, I need to stay here and look after. The sheep
that I have. Yeah. I have to stay here. And I
told Sandy and he says, oh, we've got to go to
church on Sunday. And we'll go to church and
just don't think about it. Let's go to church.
And the first worship song that they sang was,
if you ask me, I'll give you the nations. That's
for me, and I will give the nations as an inheritance.
Right. Is that it? Yes. Yeah. Wow. And it floored
me. I went flat on my face. I said, oh, you know,
okay. And I loved the way Father does it. His
correction is so gentle. Yes. And it's so loving.
You just cannot help but. Go down and repent
and ask his forgiveness for ever being like you
were. And he says, I knew you would do this,
but I knew you would return to me. Yes. And this
is the father we serve. This is the father we
love so much. Yes. He gave everything. He gave
us everything, 100%. Why can we not return 100
%? That's right. Yeah. You know, hold nothing
back because, well, this is me. This is my life.
That's so beautiful. So tell us some of the stories,
some of the testimonies of people that the Lord
has led you to and how he has worked in their
lives. My life is a scriptural life. You know,
it's like... The Good Samaritan. You see one
in need. You watch people walk around out of
the needy. You watch people walking around the
destitute. And across the street. And I'm amazed
because the words of the Father always comes
to me. He says, what do you do to the least of
these? Yes. You know, the least of these you
do unto me. So my hand goes out. I'd go with
the lawmakers. I'd get calls from them when I
had a vehicle. So wait a minute, who's the lawmakers?
Yeah, police. Okay, okay, just wanted to make
sure that we understood. And they would call
me saying, oh, we have a situation here. We have
a gentleman who needs to be taken out of his
home, nowhere to stay. And I'd say, okay, I'll
come and pick him up. Then I'd pick him up, take
him to my place, give him a cup of coffee or
a tea or whatever, and we'd sit and talk. And
the first question I would ask him is, how did
you come to this point? I don't want to know
why you did what you did. I want to know what
was the trigger? Yeah. What made you do what
you did and cause this situation? You know, just
getting them to trust and to open up, you know,
the pressures, maybe it was pressures at work
or it was... It was friends, associates, all
that, that comes out. And it's a buildup of tension
of trying to please this group and keep it from
the wife. And I say, well, you know, that is
not really how you should treat your wife. You
should treat your wife with more love and consideration.
She is the birth of a nation. Your wife is the
birth of a nation. Your descendants all came
from your grandparents, your grandmother, your
great -great -great -great -grandmother. Now
your wife is providing you with a new generation
who now have witnessed something which they're
going to hold on to. It's going to be in their
memory banks. That's not love, my friend. I said,
that's not love. Do you mind if we pray? Wow.
Let me pray for you. And then we pray prayer.
Sometimes I sleep over. I'll sleep on my couch.
And I wake him up the next morning, ring the
police, say, is it okay for him to come home
now? He's good. Then get in touch with the spouse.
And there's still a bit of a hesitancy. And I
says, yeah, here's my number. If you even feel
unsafe, You've just got to sense that he's there
and say, give me a ring. Good. And that's part
of my work. Wow. I also take elderly to do their
shopping, do their shopping for them, pick up
people who are stuck in town. You know, they
go, oh, we're stuck in town. The buses are not
running anymore and we've got to get home. I
said, okay, where are you? You know, we can't
afford a taxi. I said, well, where are you? So
I'd go and pick them up and run them home and
all on the board. I also was working in food
banks, delivering food to those who needed food.
Just general community work, being in the community,
seeing a need and filling it. Yes. I don't think
you would probably say this about yourself, but
it's been told to us that You've received awards
for your community service. Yeah. I don't think
you're the type that would even bring that up.
It's something that I don't talk about because
all the glory belongs to my father. Sure. But
Sandy says, yes, but this is society recognizing
the work you do. And I says, I still want to
back against that because society is recognizing
the wrong person. Oh, yeah, that's sweet. It
is. It's true. Society's recognizing the wrong
person. They should be recognizing my father
who empowers me to do this. Yes. I'm just his
humble servant at his beck and call, but instead
they're pinning medals on me. You find that distasteful.
Well, you have to get up and say something when
you receive these awards. When I got my first
one from the mayor of Lower Hutt, I said, do
you want to say something? And I said, yes, I
do. And, of course, I quoted that scripture I
used, you know, whatever you do to the least
of these, you do unto me. But I phrased it so
that they had to search for it. I said, you know,
I know a man. To me, he is famous. He is the
most famous man I've ever met, and I know him
quite well. But he said these few words and he
says, on this I've based all my service. And
then I quoted that and just walked off the stage,
never said anything else. And later on, I had
a few people come and say, were you quoting scripture?
And I said, yes. I love it. But if you love him
so much, regardless of what awards they give
you, you should always acknowledge that, hey,
it is not I, but he who I serve. Give the glory
to him, all the praise to him. And that has been
my life. We said, oh, we should thank you for
that. I says, no, don't thank me. People are
amazed when they find out how old I am. They
say, how can you look like that? And I says,
one reason. And I point upwards. That's the reason
I am how I am today. Yes. And so give him all
the glory. He is the reason. It's not anything
I do. Right. It's what he does in me and with
me. Yes. It's co -operating with him. Yeah, it
is. You're operating together as a team. Yeah.
And people don't see him, they see you. Well,
hopefully. As we sing that song, we hope it's
him they see. Amen. Absolutely. Too often I've
found when I've been searching for different
churches in my tumultuous life, it has always
been wishy -washy, the churches I've been to.
There's always been that missing link. And there
was no love in it. And in my growing up life,
that is what I was looking for. I was looking
for love. Yes, of course. As a child, I looked
for love. I received it from my father. When
he disappeared, I started looking for it. But
the Lord led me along that path that while I
was seeking it, I was learning things. I was
learning. I was learning compassion. I was learning
endurance. I was learning patience. Beautiful.
I was learning. how not to love. Because the
love that I was feeling was not love, it was
hate. It was animosity. It was really life -destroying.
And once he pulled me out of that situation,
he turned it around, absolutely upside down.
And my life has never been the same since, but
I love it. Oh, that's so wonderful. Yeah. So
wonderful. So he taught you the Word? Yes. I
find that quite challenging because one of the
prayers, we sit down together, and I live by
myself, so I've got plenty of time to entertain.
He's got plenty of time to entertain as well.
And one of the questions I said, Father, you
know, forgive me for being envious. And he says,
okay, speak to me. And I says, well, I'm envious
of all these people who could bang all these
scriptures. You know, verse so -and -so out of
the book, it says this, and they go word for
word. I said, I can't. I says, I only know scripture
that I learned. Oh, I've heard people like John
3, 16. It's pounded into me. It's been pounded
in me. So I know that. These people, they get
up there. And I says, I'm amazed. I want to be
like that. And he says, I'll tell you something.
Just listen. And I said, okay. He said, when
my son was being tempted in the wilderness. I
said, yeah, I know all about that. He said, yeah,
of course you do. And the enemy was quoting all
these scriptures like, you won't hurt your, your
heel won't be bruised because you've been saved
by his angels. Yeah. How did my son answer? I
was like, okay. I had to get a Bible and open
it. You know, being, and I said, oh, here's what
he said. He said, it is written. Yeah. I says,
yeah, and? He says, did he quote a scripture?
Did he quote a verse? I says, no, he didn't.
He says, do you think my son is envious of those
people who can quote scriptures? Was he envious
of the enemy who quote? He knows the scriptures
backwards and forwards. He can quote it like
that. But he didn't. What did he say? It is written,
Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. It is
written. And he says, You don't have to know.
When you need the word, I will provide it. So
in situations I find someone's saying something
and I say, Oh, you know, you remind me of the
prodigal son. The one who ran away and thought
he'd... Have a good life over there and look
where you are now and look where you were then.
Don't you think it's time you went home? Wow.
It's instances like that that you'll say, this
scripture suits that. But not word for word.
I paint the picture because everyone has given
his own understanding. Some learn by just hearing.
Some learn by drawing a picture. Some learn by
practical showing, you know, so I don't worry.
So it's his spirit that's giving it to you in
a way that the person can understand. Yeah. It's
like paraphrasing. Yeah, yeah. People say, oh,
you've been to Bible college? I say, no, I've
been taught by the Master. Ooh, beautiful. And
they say, ooh. Ooh. Yeah. But, you know, it's
all about the personal relationship that one
builds. And I always say, you know, you have
to get that direction right. Yes. You have to
get that spot on. You have to get that 100%.
Then everything else falls into place. Absolutely.
Everything falls into place. Yeah. Wow. And I
am not perfect. I make mistakes. But I know my
father's hand still picks me up and says, okay.
Yeah. Okay, son, let's carry on walking. Right.
And it's that knowledge that I have a loving
father, one who will never desert me, one who
never gives up, one who's always there and whose
love is all -encompassing. Yes. It is. And he
shows me things like when I was in your library
the other day, when I walked through the door,
all I felt was love. Oh, I remember you telling
me that. Yeah, all I felt was love. The love
of the Father has been expressed through all
those authors and what they experienced. They
experienced the Holy Spirit guiding them, the
hands of love. Yes. And I could feel it as soon
as I walked in the room. I thought, wow. How
beautiful. That was so beautiful. Yeah. It's
instances like that. I'm aware of his presence
in everything because he is in everything. Yes.
I appreciate a storm. When we came into where
we came and we had that big storm. Oh yeah, in
St. Louis? St. Louis, yeah. All I could think
of was, oh, Father, your power is so enormous
and so incomprehensible. Right. And you are now
displaying it for the world to see. How many
recognize your hand in this? Mm -hmm. His hand
is in everything. And I was praising him and
glorifying him. They were looking at me strange
in the airport, but hey, so what? Look at this
lunatic say, hallelujah, praise be to the living
God. Look at this. Look what he's doing. I love
it. Yeah. Oh, that's beautiful. David danced
like, oh, I'll dance in the streets. Why can't
I do a David as well? Do a David. Do a David.
That's beautiful. That's beautiful. Would you
tell us how you met Sandy? Because you said that's
another story. I'm sure it's a good one. It is,
actually. It's comical. In my search for a decent
church, yeah, around where he was eventually
placed, I went to this little church. and the
word came out. The man stood up the front and
did his thing. You know, that was what I saw.
And afterwards, everyone was going around praying
for everybody, you know, praying. And I was sort
of looking down and wondering what I was going
to do next, you know, not being really moved
or anything. And this big chap stood in front
of me and says, I want to pray for you. And I
looked up and I said, whatever. It was Sandy.
Yeah. Okay. Unbeknownst to me, later on, he became
my pastor and I made a covenant with him that
I would never leave him. Where he goes, I will
go. I did a wreath. Oh, wow. I made that covenant.
Because we had five members when we first started
the church called Next Gen. And that was his
brother and his sister -in -law. They pulled
out because it became too hard. We decided we
had to give things away. We had to strip ourselves
bare to really walk with the Lord. And they pulled
out. And Sandy turned to me and said, what about
you? Are you going to go too? I said, considering
it. He looked at me and said, what? I said, yeah,
I was considering it. But listen, I'll tell you
something. And I said, you know that scripture.
Where you go, I will go. Where you stay, I will
stay. And your God will be my God. I said, whatever.
I said, that's my covenant with you. And we've
been together ever since. How many years is that?
Must be about 17, 18 years. Oh, wow. Beautiful.
Yeah. So I've been part of that ministry right
at the beginning where we were in the middle
of the mongrel mob. Mongrel mob. Yeah. That sounds
like a… It's a gang. It's a gang, yeah. The bulldog
is their signia, and it's a mongrel. They have
it tatted on them or on their… their patches,
and they were fierce. When other gangs wanted
bodyguards or someone wanted muscle, they came
to the mongrel mob. And Sandy and Princess were
planted right in the middle of that. Right in
the middle of it. Wow. Right in the middle of
it. Right in the heart of their neighborhood.
Yeah. Wow. Police never drove through. Oh, wow.
They refused to go through. It was too dangerous.
Oh, my goodness. Yeah. And they were right in
it. Then I joined them and we walked the streets,
praying through the streets. And we came upon
one instance where they were meeting at night
and a young chap had committed suicide. And they
were looking for a pastor, God -given appointment.
And Sandy says, I'm a pastor. And we went in
and we had service. And from that moment on,
Sandy was their pastor. Oh, wow. No one could
touch him. No one could touch Sandy. If anyone
looked sideways at Sandy, they were dealt with.
Oh, my goodness. Yeah, even Princess. Well, you
know how contagious Princess is. I call her contagious
because she has that element that draws you to
her, that sense that says, hey, here I am. Wow.
Because of her and Sandy, they most probably
told you how many lives have changed and things
I've done. So it's been an adventure. Yes. Wow,
that's tremendous. I'd love to hear more and
more and more stories from these. I know you've
had tremendous experiences together with Sandy
and Princess. Oh, yes. Just tell us one more
story. One more story. I had a knock on my door
one night. I wasn't, it'd just be about, yeah,
about two o 'clock in the morning because banging,
banging on my door. I said, oh, come on. At this
hour, okay. So I answered the door and there
was a 16 -year -old girl. She'd been to a party
down the road and it got a wee bit dicey. And
she was going to the neighborhood. knocking on
doors and no one would open the door. Now I stayed
in a block of flats down the back and my light
was on because I was still, me and Dad were doing
our thing and I was about to go to bed. Turned
my outside light off and then I was just coming
to bed when she knocked. So she'd seen my light
and made towards it. I said, can I help you?
And she said, yes. I'd been down the road at
a party and some men wanted to take me and I'd
run away. I want to go home. I said, where do
you live? Now, where she lived was 70 miles out
of town. Oh, my. And I said, have you a phone?
She says, no, they took my phone. I said, okay.
Do you know your parents at home? Do you know
your phone number? She gave me the number, so
I rang through. And I got there, and she was
still up because her daughter hadn't been in
contact. Yes. And I said, I'm on the way. Your
daughter's come here. I told them who I was and
what I do. I says, your daughter's here. I'm
going to give her something hot to drink, and
I'll give her some warm clothes, you know, my
jersey or something or a coat, and then I'll
bring her home. And they said, oh, we'll meet
you halfway. Oh, that's good. And I says, okay,
so we made a spot where we could meet. And when
I arrived there, the joy I saw in a mother's
face. This is why I do things. This is why. Not
for the reward, just to see that relief. I thought
she was going to break my ribs, the mother, because
she just grabbed me and really hugged me and
said, thank you, thank you. I don't know what,
I don't know how to thank you. And I said, you
don't need to thank me. Beautiful. I said, you
don't need to thank me at all. I'm just glad
that your daughter's home is safe. Yes. And I
says, can I pray for your family? And I prayed
over the family, the blessings of the Lord, the
protection of our father. the grace and provision
that he provides, and they went home happy. Beautiful.
And I went home and collapsed on my bed and fell
asleep. And you were happy too. I was filled
with the joy of the Lord because when you make
him happy, when you do things that please him,
there is a sense. That he envelops you with.
Yes. And you go, oh, thank you, Father. I could
bathe in this all day. Amen. But we're that close.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. We are that
close. So for our listeners, he's got his two
fingers crossed together. Sorry, sorry. This
isn't video. Yeah, that close. Yeah, we are close
because where he walks, I walk. Beautiful. Where
he moves, I move. And I don't move without his
say -so. You know, as Scripture says, he's a
light unto my path. Beautiful. Amen. And it's
something I pray that everyone will come to that
point where he is a light unto their path. Amen.
And the world needs him. Yes, absolutely. The
world is desperately in need of Him. Yes, and
that's why we do what we do, because we're believing
God for the outpouring of His Spirit on all flesh,
and the whole world is going to be touched by
Him. It is. And in our small way, you know, I
still can't believe that I'm actually here. I'll
hold them up to that later when we get together.
Beautiful, beautiful. Well, would you pray for
our listeners? before we close. Oh, certainly.
Heavenly Father, all we come together as one,
the listeners and ourselves, Father. We come
to praise you. We come to give you thanks for
the many gifts and graces and provision that
you give for us all, Father. We pray that your
Holy Spirit will sweep over this land and over
our listeners, Father, bringing comfort and joy,
Father, and provision, Father, to heal those
who are sick, Father, to give clarity of mind
to those who are puzzling and trying to do things
on their own strength, Father. Father, we also
pray for the sick, Father. We pray for the homeless,
Father. We pray for those who are parentless.
for the orphans, Father, for the widows, Father.
We pray your provision and covering for them,
Father. And most of all, Father, we thank you
for your love, your grace, and your presence
within each and every one of us, Father. So may
the glory and the peace of our Father in heaven
rest and abide in you all tonight. And forevermore,
in the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen. Amen. If
