Audio, Visual & Court Evidence
As in Audio, Visual & Court Evidence — the Spirit of Truth/the Holy Spirit; and the world/the flesh are diametrically opposed. With God's Testimony, the Truth can be told and explained in full. Notification alone is one thing — but when you can have audio and visual at your disposal, you enter a different sphere entirely. Truth stands on its own! A lie needs a bigger lie, and then another lie, until the whole construction collapses. I have so many hours of audio and visual recordings that I can call upon for my testimony. My evidence is of an earthly nature, and through it I convict the world that is entrapping everyone in the Spiritual Realm.
"And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven."— Matthew 12:31–32
As scripture unfolds with the truth, a person is either going to be empowered or cast into eternal damnation. How many chances does God in Heaven give? Read. Listen. And View.

Hebrews 12:25 — Domestic Violence Proceedings, June 1997
The tape begins on the 1st of June 1997 — a time of my life when I was getting pounded by lies. Like Job, who was a righteous man stripped of everything and surrounded by those who accused him falsely, I too found myself standing alone against a torrent of accusations I did not deserve. Job never stopped declaring his innocence before God, and neither did I. I swore on the Bible and on my children's lives that what I am saying is the truth, to which I was told I didn't need to do that. I did it anyway. The transcript is viewable in Chapter 5 of the book.
What follows is a church service recorded in Cannon Hill, Brisbane. I include it because every word spoken mirrors my own life and calling. I have been given a new identity — to spread the word of Jesus Christ to the world before it is too late. Pastor Don Shepherd draws from Hosea, Habakkuk, and the Psalms and lists the conditions that signal a nation is ripe for awakening: sin abounds, righteousness has vanished, the church has grown lax. Every one of those conditions was present in my own household and in the courtroom on the 1st of June 1997. He speaks of David and Goliath — a man with no standing in the eyes of the world who stepped forward in faith alone. The years of suffering I endured — the accident, the false accusations, the proceedings on this very tape — they were the preparation, not the end.
After Don speaks, Noel Shaw takes the floor — visibly carrying grief over the recent passing of Don's son-in-law Michael, killed in a pushbike accident. Out of that grief, Noel delivers an explosive call to repentance. He warns that a church which tolerates sin is a church crying out for revival whether it knows it or not. William Booth said he wished he could hold every complacent Christian over the mouth of hell so they could watch the lost descend into eternity. I have lived that urgency my entire adult life. On the 16th of March 2001, I met Jesus in person — not in a dream, not in a vision, but face to face. From that moment my role became undeniable: to give people the opportunity to hear the truth so that they may be raptured — caught up — before what is coming. There will be seven years of great tribulation before Jesus returns. The conditions Don and Noel described that night have only deepened in the decades since. What you hear on this tape is not history. It is a warning that is more relevant today than the night it was spoken.
The sermon closes on Hebrews 12:25. The Lord told Don that morning to put it in. I include this recording for the same reason: repent and be empowered, or refuse — "See to it that you do not refuse Him who warns you from Heaven."
SO HERE I AM. I'M HERE. I'M GOD HERE TO SAVE YOU. LISTEN, REPENT AND BE SAVED OR BE CAST INTO HELL FOR ETERNITY.

June Lewis & Officer Mark Beardmore
My mother June Lewis at the police station, confronting Officer Mark Beardmore. She is challenging why I was never formally interviewed, why court-ordered access to my children was being repeatedly breached, and why a disclosure made by my own son had not been properly followed through. To understand why she is there, you need to understand what came before it.
On the Monday night, Helen abruptly put the baby in my arms and walked out the door for forty minutes without a word. When she came back, she pulled a stick from the cupboard, hit the children with it, then kicked Justin into a tea chest. I took the boys upstairs, told her the marriage was over, and she rang the police. Constables Adrian Staples and Caroline Cox attended — and when they saw the situation, they left the children in my care.
On the Tuesday I engaged a solicitor — Mark O'Reilly — to understand where I stood. He told me clearly: keep the children. The police had left them with me, and Helen would need a court order to take them. She had a document stating she was the mother, but it counted for nothing in this situation. Later that day, Helen returned to the house with the same two officers. My parents were present, and they told those officers what my son Justin had already disclosed — that his grandfather, Alan Carty, had been touching him. Constable Staples later confirmed that he passed this information to Beardmore at the station, and that Beardmore was supposed to come to my house to take a formal report. He never came.
On the Wednesday I had mowing work to get to. I rang Helen to let her know my parents would mind the kids while I was out. She erupted — my parents had interfered too much in our marriage; she was the mother and she would look after her own children. I said fine. I saw an opening.
When Helen arrived and I came home from work, I confronted her about her father. She screamed at me — four times — "Why wasn't I told?" I asked her directly: was her father a paedophile? She said it was feasible. I rang my sister-in-law Kylie and put her on the phone to Helen. Kylie told Helen what Justin had disclosed while in her care previously. Helen screamed again. Then she tried to pull the conversation away from her father — back to my parents interfering in the marriage.
I wanted Alan Carty there in front of me. Helen rang her parents — I could hear her pleading and stuttering on the phone. I wanted the father, not the mother. The mother arrived first, calm as anything, sat down. The father came in after. Helen turned to me and said: "Dad, you've got something to ask Dad" — putting all the pressure back on me. I broke down. I had a good relationship with that man. I did not want it to be true. I said it plainly: there are strong allegations between you and Justin about paedophilia. Helen's mother immediately jumped to her feet — he had never done anything like that, never been left alone with the children by himself. I knew that was a lie. Alan Carty said nothing to me. Not one word.
They raised family counselling. I told them there would be an investigation into Alan. Helen stayed the night — that was her plan all along. Thursday: she went to her solicitor and barrister. Friday: she ran, because family services were about to step in. Beardmore had been involved from Tuesday night and remained so throughout. Five months later, he and Helen put together a plan to have me charged — accusing me of exactly what had been done to my own son. The next time I saw my children, they told me they had a new daddy. His name was Mark. He was a big man, like Poppy. He was a policeman.
Listen to what my mother is told on this recording — and what she is not told — and you will understand what she was up against.

Alan Carty — Recorded Conversation
Helen's father. I recorded this conversation and I am placing it here so you can hear the man for yourself — alongside his court testimony, which is transcribed in full below.
In court, Alan Carty testified that on the Friday morning while I was out at work, Helen rang him in distress claiming I had threatened her before leaving and ordered her not to take the children anywhere. He said he and his wife went over, found her very upset, and made the decision to pack her and the children up and take them away. He arranged for Helen and the children to go to Sydney for a fortnight. When detectives came to his door that Saturday night asking about the whereabouts of the children, he confirmed they were well and directed the police to Helen's solicitor. He described our relationship warmly — six and a half years, barbecues at my place, treated me like a son. He said he was devastated by the allegations. That he was a 64-year-old man being accused of interfering with a three-year-old. That it was terrible. That he felt sorry for the load I was carrying.
What the transcript also shows is this. Weeks after Helen left, Beardmore called Alan Carty into the station, sat him in front of a camera, and questioned him about the allegation that he had interfered with my son Justin. Alan was told the allegation came from me. He said one thing led to another, they were happy with what he said, and they sent him home. No charge was mentioned. No follow-up ever came. I was never formally interviewed, despite being the parent who had raised the disclosure and fought for it to be heard.
Under cross-examination, Alan confirmed that on the Wednesday night — when I confronted him at my house — I asked him directly to his face whether he had interfered with Justin. He claimed he answered me. My own testimony tells a different story: he said nothing, his wife jumped up immediately to defend him, and moments later he was outside kicking a soccer ball around with Justin. When I saw him walk through that door, I broke down. I had a good relationship with that man. I did not want it to be true. But a child had spoken. And the words Justin used — at three years old — were not words a child invents.
Read the full transcript below. Weigh it against this recording. And ask yourself why a disclosure like that was handled the way it was.
