  36. yes to your calling, to say yes to your word.

  37. And I pray God that this twenty twenty two Lord,

  49. we give God again the best lab offering. And we

  50. are declaring that twenty twenty two is the year that

  51. we start growing mustache and beard. I'm just kidding. It's

  52. the year that we cut lisha then that is holding

  53. us back. That's it that we will be unleashed. Man.

  54. You know this pandemic, it did not happen so that

  55. we can hold on doing a life not a little

  56. bit tighter and a little bit closer, because that's what

  57. happened in this pandemic. Nonai in pandemic and everything. And

  58. we started hugging and taking notice. We were all fearful

  59. for our health in our lives. Yu manga goals and

  60. manna dreams. Nothing la no what I'MI manna depress what

  61. Imi manna suicide. Actually, you know, this pandemic, it did

  62. not happen so that we can hold onto our lives.

  63. Actually it's the other way around. You know. If there's

  64. something that we could have learned from this past two years,

  65. it's almost three years, it's that we don't have any

  66. control over our lives. Do you believe that that's what happened? Right?

  67. And kit Plan No, once a pandemic happened, once virus

  68. affects our lives, there's something else that we can do. Amen,

  69. saving us a probab sixteen nineteen. It's very true right now?

  70. Is that a man's heart plants his way, but the

  71. Lord directs his steps the height not on going nine ten,

  72. going plan not ten. You know, if God says no,

  73. it's a no. Amen. And because of this pandemic, we

  74. have focus on ourselves, on our needs. But you know

  75. God is showing us that instead, God wants us to

  76. focus on the need of other people around us. We

  77. believe that's why we are here on this world, you know.

  78. And the Lord passes, Amen. But you were put here

  79. on this world, on this earth, six billion people we

  80. are living together. That means what that we need to

  81. live our lives merong affect to Hans again and a

  82. good way. Amen, Because when you when you think about

  83. only yourselves, you are also affecting other people in a

  84. very negative way. But God wants us to focus not

  85. on ourselves and in our needs, but on the needs

  86. of other people. Amen. You know God is calling us

  87. to take the attention of ourselves and put it on

  88. the world around us. I believe that's what being unleashed means,

  89. being unleashed saying yes to the calling that God has

  90. for our lives. But you please type in the comments

  91. section and yes, just three letters, you know, so go

  92. to my blish and God go. It's just saying yes

  93. to God's plans, to God's dreams, to God's purpose for

  94. our lives. Amen. And not only just for our lives.

  95. But God wants to unleash b TC. That's why in

  96. declaration and be TC unleashed, Amen, that we will not

  97. just be unleashed on our own, but we will be

  98. unleashed as a family, as a church, Amen, to accomplish

  99. His purpose for our church. Family. Because indilan my purpose individually,

  100. but God is a purpose for our church. There's a

  101. purpose why we are gathering together. There's a purpose why

  102. God allowed you to be a part of this church family,

  103. and what is that purpose? According us a Bible, that

  104. Jesus built his church. Jesus built this church, and even

  105. the gates of Hell will not overcome it. Amen. You know,

  106. maybe you're saying that Jesus lived in this world. Jesus

  107. did his ministry for three years, but then you put

  108. in a you young church. You know, technically yes he

  109. did not, but honestly, he raised up and he trained

  110. twelve people that will be the foundation of the church. Pedro,

  111. you are the rock on which this church will stand.

  112. And that is you and me as well. Amen. We

  113. are part of this church. And there is a mission

  114. for this church. And what is that mission? The same

  115. mission that Jesus gave before he went up into heaven.

  116. The disciples were unleashed when Jesus ascended to heaven. You know,

  117. some some people would call it the great commission, but

  118. right now I would like to call it the unleashing commission.

  119. This was the mission that Jesus unleashed his disciples four

  120. in match of twenty eight, verse eighteen to twenty Saberto.

  121. Then Jesus came to them and said, all authority in

  122. heaven has been given to me. Therefore, go and make

  123. disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of

  124. the Father and the Son of the Holy Spirit, and

  125. teaching them everything I have commanded you. And surely I

  126. am with you always to the very end of the age.

  127. This is what Jesus is unleashing his disciples us from

  128. or four. Jesus wants us to go and make disciples. Amen.

  129. And after this, after putting match of twenty eight, actually

  130. remy my usk with Tamanga books. But it's just stories

  131. compiler and it's all part of this one big story.

  132. After Match of twenty eight. It's the Book of Acts actually,

  133. and the Books of Us is uh is our stories

  134. or unleashed stories of the early Church and their disciples

  135. turning the world, according to survival upside down. And I

  136. believe that that's what God is unleashing us for. He

  137. wants to turn this world upside down. He wants to

  138. turn Yumunga malimpapt right side up. Amen. And the Book

  139. of Acts tells us that story of how the disciples

  140. was being unleashed. It us a story of how committed

  141. ordinary people. I want you to take note of those

  142. three words committed or ordinary people who made the biggest

  143. difference and change the world. You know, sometimes I say

  144. not Magata, you know, Mapa make a difference, mahapak changed

  145. the Modo. Are the ones who are extraorinary human, a

  146. super Taliino human, a super yaman in uman, a super

  147. resourced mantao. And maybe you're thinking that that's not me.

  148. That's not gonna happen in my life. That's never gonna

  149. happen in my community. And I'm not going to be

  150. doing that. Amen. But you know, take note of those words.

  151. Don't committed ordinary people. They changed the world. This committed

  152. ordinary people made the biggest difference. And you know what

  153. that is the church. That's what a church is and

  154. that's who as a church BTC should be as well. Amen. Again,

  155. take note the church change the world not because they

  156. were a group of highly educated people, not because they

  157. are a group of politically powerful people connected humana mer

  158. influence of government. No, they're not, Amen. The early change

  159. the early Church changed the wor world, not because they

  160. are ultra wealthy influencers. Amen. But the early Church were

  161. a group of united ordinary people coming together for something

  162. bigger than themselves. They were being unleashed this extra not

  163. extra but this ordinary people, ordinary people that God used

  164. through extra ordinary ways. Amen. And I believe that twenty

  165. twenty to us as a church be TC, we will

  166. be unleashed. You're saying that I'm just ordinary. I hope

  167. it's a simpling. Mamamayan Babaye dumbois the means and number zipelio.

  168. It doesn't matter. God can use you. Amen. In God,

  169. I believe God will use you as well. Amen. Come on,

  170. can we give God a best love of that? You

  171. know if you're saying, I want God to use me

  172. the spite of my of my wrongdoings, in spite of

  173. my shortcomings, despite of on sacond because the early church

  174. there were a group of tapic one in an ex

  175. or united ordinary people. And you know in this time

  176. a young twenty twenty two, we are living through this

  177. great opportunity, you know, to live that in our in

  178. ways that we've never experienced before. You know, before one

  179. of my prayers before Manyari young BTC. One of my

  180. prayers God, I want to go back doing a book

  181. of acts. I want to experience you know what they've experienced,

  182. and you know be careful what you pray for. After

  183. a few months, he let me experienced it. He unleashed

  184. me to become a pastor, to become the pastor of

  185. Blessed City Church. And now we are experiencing it. And

  186. now we're about to experience more. Amen, you know, a

  187. young twenty twenty two, we have this great opportunity to

  188. be unleashed and to live out what the early church

  189. had lived for. Amen. Maybe some of us parents Sabini

  190. and Jonah Hanina, we were expecting something different, right for

  191. twenty twenty two, you unleash. I'm excited. Maybe some of

  192. you you know already going were New Lord's at in December,

  193. Palank and you're already excited for January. Then the first

  194. day in January. In the first days of January belong Sumambugan,

  195. Oh my Krombi virus, right, belong forty thousand people every

  196. day in it called me Smunavid God, how miss Muna

  197. go Ovid. We were expecting to be unleashed all Michrombi

  198. and and Lisha atten. We were expecting something different. But

  199. you know what God was reminding us. We're expecting something different,

  200. but God is saying, but nothing has changed while I'm

  201. in a bag. There's nothing different. There's still a whole

  202. lot of people out there suffering. There's still a whole

  203. lot of people out there who needs healing, who needs Jesus,

  204. who needs to know that they would suffer if you

  205. don't believe in Jesus. How how can we expect for

  206. things to change if nothing really has changed? You know

  207. what I'm saying. God is reminding us gain in twenty

  208. twenty two. The job is not done yet, Indi and

  209. labat a man. There's so much work to be done.

  210. There's so many people now now we need to seek

  211. and to save. In the midst of all of this,

  212. the midst of all of this chaos and an aii.

  213. Right now, God is showing us an opportunity to shine

  214. a bright light in this world. Amen. You know God

  215. is setting the table for something amazing to happen in

  216. this world. Cinerito, you're excited to see America's happen, Cinta,

  217. You're excited to see great things happen. Amen. And here's

  218. the good news. He's going to do it through you

  219. and through me. Amen. He's going to truth and he's

  220. going to do it through the Church. Now Can you

  221. imagine what will happen if we could just come together

  222. and unleash the full force of the Church. You know

  223. when we say that we will be, we will be unleashed.

  224. It's not gonna be us just us. It's gonna be

  225. the church as well. Amen. And that's what we will

  226. be talking about. If you're writing down notes, the title

  227. of our message is unleashing the full force. That's what

  228. we want, Amen, dicolu, that's what that's what you also

  229. want if you want that to plea stype in the

  230. comments sections and be more Amen. Amen. We all want that.

  231. We all want something to change. Ale. We are hoping

  232. again the medrium of Babago, par parent Thailand, Vignon coming

  233. into January, know, hoping a merrormant Babago. But you know what,

  234. it's going to be the same thing. Whoever you choose

  235. to vote, whoever becomes our president, vice president, senator's congressman,

  236. leaders in our governments, the same thing will happen. Why

  237. because the people is not changing. Because we all know

  238. what this country, this world needs, Amen. It needs God,

  239. it needs Jesus Christ. It needs to say that Jesus

  240. is Lord. It needs to say not my will, but

  241. yours be done. We all want, you know, to become

  242. a difference maker. Amen, we want to do something. Similarly,

  243. you want to do something right, you want to do

  244. something or maybe saying something needs to be done on

  245. problem you don't know what didn't go in? They are

  246. they just they are just relegated doing a Facebook on

  247. Lamanla post and post about the government, about about the

  248. people in the government. Right again in Tamaba, it's a

  249. bimo but not me type in the comments a behemo

  250. but not us in man. Because we know that we

  251. are more than space takers and time wasters. We are

  252. difference makers. That's who you are. You are here to

  253. make a difference. You are the sole and light of

  254. this world. We just need to be unleash. And when

  255. we say we, that means you and me, that means

  256. every one of us. Don't say in episode we support you,

  257. bahla jan. You know we're just here at the back.

  258. We are worshiping, we are praying for you know, every

  259. every one of us, each and every one of us

  260. are here to make a difference in screen right now,

  261. it's everyone, it's you and me, Amen. That's why in

  262. this church, this is our goal, this is what we

  263. believe in. Our goal is to make every believer, I

  264. hope it's there a leader of leaders, to make every

  265. believer a leader of leaders. That's who we are and

  266. that's what we believe in. That's our goal. Amen, if

  267. you're taking down notes, if you're going to take note

  268. of something or remember something after this this that we

  269. need to become a leader. Amen, it's every one of us.

  270. It's each and every one of us. You know, in

  271. the Bible or in in theology, we have this something

  272. that is called the priesthood of all believers. Maybe you're say,

  273. if it's some guy and you making believers to make

  274. every believer a leader of leaders, that that's not even

  275. biblically as it is. You know, even miss Mussi uh

  276. Martin Luther, you know, the the first Protestant chap moved

  277. Christians from from the old ways to what we know now.

  278. You know, he believes that there is such thing as

  279. priesthood of all believers. La Niloyd he was. He called

  280. us to become one a royal priesthood. What does that mean?

  281. Royal priest? Indedn't put title that we were? He didn't.

  282. We are royal priest because obligation. Amen, that we are

  283. all priest. He didn't see pastor. Amen, we are all priest,

  284. and we have an obligation to do, and that is

  285. what to preach the gospel, to share the gospel to everyone. Amen.

  286. It's everybody's goal, it's everybody's purpose, and we are all

  287. part of the mission that God has given us. The

  288. problem is that it won't work. It can't work most

  289. of us or majority of the church. Things that BDC

  290. exists for their needs. Maybe you're here and you're thinking

  291. now anapo and once that I'm you know, I'm done

  292. with this, and then I'm going to move on. Now

  293. it's time for me to move on to a greater

  294. third thing. But now, a church is not something that

  295. you finish with. It's not a horse. It's a family

  296. to belong to. It's a family that has a purpose

  297. and until you have not reached that purpose in that

  298. we belong together. Documents such as a bimo we belong together,

  299. a church at home that it was a bore, we

  300. believe to be bl along together. See you know what

  301. being unleashed means, It's being engaged. Let me say it again,

  302. being unleashed means being engaged. If you want to be

  303. unleashed for twenty twenty two, you need to say this

  304. to yourself that I'm not just going to watch and

  305. spectate Indela a life stream every Sunday. Amen, but I'm

  306. actually going to do something. I'm going to be engaged.

  307. What does that mean? Being engaged? Being engaged means being

  308. able or you wanting to join the Bible, reading your

  309. devotion anthen Being engaged means I will be joining and

  310. being engaged. Some squad meetings you will attend and once

  311. you are there you will start sharing as well. Amen,

  312. indeau picture Amen, now no and take away more you

  313. would share a man. That's what being engaged means. That's

  314. what being unleashed means. Being unleashed means that you will

  315. be joining and being involved in ministries. We have so

  316. many ministries here at church. Ask your squad leader, can

  317. you ministry that you can be involved with? Indeed, poe

  318. indeed on po techt indeed on pup praising worship. Maybe

  319. you don't know, you don't know, you don't know how

  320. it's saying you do not have to play the guitar

  321. and you say no, I'm not made to to serve. No,

  322. you can serve in every way that you can, and

  323. whatever gifts that you have, God can use that. And

  324. I believe that God has given you a gift for

  325. that reason. In the part of you mam Manka in

  326. YouTube was a Facebook. God has given you gifts so

  327. that you can serve Him, that you can serve the

  328. people that God's plays in your life. That's what being

  329. unleashed means again, it's being engaged. Being being unleashed. It

  330. means doing the assignment that God has for us. Amen,

  331. be a difference maker by sharing the Gospel the whole

  332. in this broken and sick world. We need to have

  333. this mentality that Jesus' mentality. Remember he says that it

  334. is more blessed to give than to receive. Now, you're

  335. not here just to receive. You're not just here to

  336. be to be blessed. Maybe you saw that that name

  337. bless the City Church, and you are attracted to it

  338. because you want to be blessed Zimbaimba and said Ben

  339. straight times, No, that's not who we are. We are

  340. blessed the city because we are here to bless the city,

  341. not to get blessing from the city. Not to get

  342. blessing from God, Amen, but to become blessed so that

  343. we can be a blessing. You know, we have this

  344. tagline here at church, blessed to bless They're we had

  345. that series. That's a long series. Bless to bless That's

  346. who we are. God is blessing you with your job,

  347. with your work, with promotions, with whatever good things that

  348. is happening in your life. Goddess bless you so that

  349. you can be a blessing. And most importantly, God has

  350. blessed you with salvation. See that you can share that

  351. to other people as well that needs salvation. Amen. You know,

  352. I believe that this word unleash. It's not just for

  353. a few people here at church. It's not just for

  354. our church. I believe that it's for each and every

  355. one of us. Amen. We all have to remove whatever

  356. it is that's preventing us from being who God created

  357. us to be. I like that, Make me what I'm

  358. meant to be. You know that's I agree. That's a prayer. Lord,

  359. make me who I always meant to be, who you

  360. created me to be. Your problem is that we have

  361. this leash. Now we can't be who we are meant

  362. to be because something is stopping us, something is pulling

  363. us back. And for most of us, the leashes hold

  364. us back is the feeling of inadequacy, the feeling now

  365. I'm not worthy, the feeling of I'm unqualified. Man type

  366. in the comments section right now has to be more uncoqualified.

  367. You know, sometimes if you feel that way, you are

  368. not alone. You know, we feel sometimes you all feel

  369. that we are unqualified. You know, we see these big

  370. problems in our in our world, in our nation, in

  371. our community, or maybe in your families. You see those

  372. big problems, you know, and you are thinking that something

  373. has to be done. I mean, a mistakes smoke, and

  374. we end up with the whole clusion that, yes, something

  375. has to be done, but it's not going to be me.

  376. Why because of all the mistakes that I've made, because

  377. I'm unqualified, Something else, somebody else will make that difference.

  378. And we've been praying, you know, maybe you've been praying

  379. for that Lord become Magalina president, the Lord become dang

  380. Mangan leaders, some community, amens a family. Amen. Do you

  381. know what God is saying? Amen? God made you see

  382. all of those things because he wants you to change it, Amen,

  383. because he wants you to become the difference maker. Amen.

  384. Come on, give God the best love wherever you are. Amen.

  385. Magin is unprecedented to make a difference. Even your president,

  386. he can't make any difference. If you mana tao underneath

  387. him will not follow. You know, I believe that's the

  388. problem in our nation right now, right when I'm putting mare,

  389. and we won't see anything change, Amen, because it's not

  390. him or her whoever the next president should be or

  391. would be, But it's gonna be us who would change

  392. our nation, who will make a difference. Alang, we had

  393. this leash. That lease is called unqualified. We don't feel

  394. that we are qualified for so many reasons. Maybe for you,

  395. you know, maybe you're thinking, or you're saying, that's a

  396. familia pastor I didn't came from the right family. My

  397. family is dysfunctional, my family is broken, my family is

  398. not really the traditional churchgoerimbo to galand that's what my

  399. family is. And maybe God can't use me because of that,

  400. I'm unqualified. Or maybe you're saying that you did not

  401. have the right education. You know, right now, that's what

  402. the people are saying that education as right and dish

  403. are qualified to lead us. Maybe maybe for that position,

  404. but God is not calling us to be that. God

  405. is calling us to be something else, a man. Maybe

  406. you're saying that I didn't have the right education in

  407. the whole Maintendo Bible school, the column pastor God, but

  408. in Columbus as a good call I'm not qualified about.

  409. Maybe you're saying that right ressure, you buy statistical height,

  410. Coulan wake cool, and then there's nothing else. Maybe you're saying,

  411. go anything significant for God to call me for this

  412. great mission. I have not done enough. You feel that

  413. you are unqualified. Maybe that's you. You are saying that

  414. right now. But you know what, here's the good news.

  415. And I want you to remember this. God loves to

  416. unleash the unqualified. Amen. I hope that they can see

  417. that again. God loves to unleash the unqualified. Let's go back.

  418. One of the lines that I loved there was how

  419. you love to use the broken? Wow, God loves to

  420. use the unqualified. God loves to use the broken people.

  421. God loves to use those who are weak, imn. He

  422. loves to demonstrate his power in our weaknesses. He loves

  423. to take the things that we think disqualifies us and

  424. use that same thing to accomplish His purpose in our lives.

  425. That's how great our God is. Iman. And the one

  426. thing that everyone in the Bible that was used by

  427. God in a very extraordinary way, they have this one

  428. thing in common. Do you know what that one thing

  429. in common? They have the same feeling of being unqualified.

  430. You can read that from from Genesis and gang Revelation.

  431. Nobody will say, now, Lord, use me, I'm so qualified

  432. for this. That's it. Excuse Hamaba. That's in Sabin, the Lord,

  433. I can't Mulakai, Abrahm, Gankai, Moses, Aganghai Joan, and Ghangkai

  434. Ivan k David. The only one who is qualified was

  435. Jesus Christ. But the world thinks that he is unqualified

  436. to the why that he was crucified forgetting what I'm

  437. saying right now. All throughout the Bible and all throughout

  438. the generations. You know, since the biblical times, God has

  439. been using unqualified people for his great purpose. Amen. They

  440. all feel unqualified and ordinary. You feel that you were ordinary.

  441. You know, the greatest example of that is the disciples.

  442. Remember the disciples we talked about Peter and John last week,

  443. and we will try to revisit that, and not only that,

  444. we will go further from that story. If you're going

  445. to look at the most unqualified person in the Bible,

  446. it's Peter and John. Really past Peter John. Remember, see Peter,

  447. he is the rock. He should be qualified. But you

  448. know in this standard, in this world standard, he wasn't.

  449. There weren't I don't see Peter Charley John. They did

  450. not apply to become leaders of the church. It wasn't

  451. a position to apply for in the first place. It

  452. was a calling a man kuntai Jesus is saying to Jesus,

  453. you want to be your disciples. Here's our resume, here's

  454. what we can do for you. And yea, Jesus came

  455. to where they were and called them out, Come follow me,

  456. and I will make you fishers of men. That's why

  457. when when when people saw Jesus and his disciples, is

  458. this the Messiah? Is this they're his followers? How could

  459. this be the next king? How could this be the

  460. savior of this world? Members of Pedro he has a

  461. big mouth. Every time he opens his mouth, he gets

  462. in trouble by every time he opens his mother and

  463. Jesus he rebukes him Talba, always getting in trouble because

  464. of his big mouth. And you know what happened to him.

  465. He became the primary spoke person of the church. God

  466. used that same mouth, the same mother he always gets

  467. in trouble with, and he used it for God's glory,

  468. for God's kingdom. And there was nothing that he has

  469. done to qualify for it. If you would see his restume,

  470. he isda talva. How about John? All right? Just saying, yeah,

  471. that's pedro paris, John passor he is the the beloved

  472. kamal mahal. Is it true? He is? He really John,

  473. the belaved before Jesus Christ. John he is a short

  474. temper kasamani pedro pham not in common with it, but

  475. the one thing that they have in common. They have

  476. a short temper babilismani and ulo kaana. And the Bible

  477. in the Gospel John he was also called the son

  478. of Thunder. Why remember this one story when when Jesus

  479. and his disciples were walking down the road and they

  480. came upon this group of people they were they were

  481. making fun of Jesus and his disciples Bagaris, John and

  482. Jesus Lord, let's pray now there would be uh fire

  483. coming from heaven. Grab singing Dito the one, and you

  484. are praying the Lord, the Lord Covidzilla. He has a

  485. short temper, and he was convinced that that's what God wanted.

  486. Sometimes that's how we think that We see the people

  487. who are making fun of Jesus, making fun of God,

  488. and we want them Lord m madusas in perno, come on,

  489. we want to preach a fire in in brimstone messages.

  490. Why to condemn those people into say come on? He

  491. was masking his own hate with God's purpose. That's what

  492. God wants. Gou wants people to die in hell. Gou

  493. wants people to suffer in hell. No, you are missing

  494. the point if you think that way. But you know

  495. what happened to John. God transformed him and unleashed him

  496. from being some person of hate, the son of Thunder.

  497. What happened He began to write. He wrote a book

  498. in the Bible that intro use us to a loving God,

  499. to a God who loves us. Amen, to God, God

  500. who loves each and every one of us. He says

  501. in First John that God is love. Amen. He was

  502. unleashed and it wasn't just them who felt that they

  503. were unqualified. It wasn't just John, and it was Peter,

  504. and so was the world, and so does other people.

  505. It is mta. Yeah, this guy, this guy's they're not qualified,

  506. Sabi asks chapter four, verse thirteen. And this is the

  507. verse that we will be looking at. Sabian story. Was

  508. Peter and John standing before a ruling council of religious

  509. leaders because they have done something and they brought them

  510. doing some court tok on them, John and Peter for

  511. what they have done. Let's go back, let's travelous acts

  512. chapter four or verse thirteen. Sabon they realized that they

  513. were unschooled and ordinary man. Peter and John was speaking

  514. their cases, saying that we have done nothing wrong. All

  515. that we do was to help these people, this person.

  516. And then while they were speaking to man to manga

  517. religious people and talk, they began to realize Atoms Pedro, John,

  518. they were unschooled, unschooled the gal they were ordinary man,

  519. nothing nothing extraordinary Sandila. People knew that Jasi Peter, that

  520. they weren't taught of what to say and how to

  521. say them. Paragaja, maybe you're saying it doesn't know much

  522. you know alamvlugs and am books nabase. He don't see John, Chase, Peter.

  523. They all realized now they don't know what to say.

  524. All me on, save me the inside lupia. Maybe in

  525. a bend the mot or sabon right them right, And

  526. then you see if you were in a region, and

  527. that's what John and Peter was. They had the wrong grammar,

  528. probably wrong gramming sila india alam or the words why

  529. because they weren't taught right. They were just fisher men.

  530. They weren't made or they weren't taught to stand in

  531. front of many people and speak Tao. They're unschooled and

  532. they were ordinary. You know the word ordinary in Greek, Yeah,

  533. it means idiotes. What does that mean? Idiotes? I think

  534. we all know that, right, idiots. When they were listening

  535. to John and to Peter, they were saying that these

  536. guys are unschooled and they're idiots. Idiot participleuch on a

  537. harsh namaba. That's what they think about Peter and day John.

  538. People saw Peter and John as uneducated idiots and they

  539. were unqualified. They weren't qualified to do what they are doing.

  540. But they're still doing it. It's the best thing. They

  541. feel that they aren't qualified. But people think that they

  542. are unqualified. They still did what you're supposed to be doing.

  543. You know, uneven a baggage that you think that made

  544. you unqualified. You ma un words that makes you think

  545. that you aren't qualified. You know, I have a few

  546. things that came to my mind when I asked this

  547. question to myself. You know, maybe you are saying that

  548. I'm untalented. Maybe some movie you're saying that I'm unqualified

  549. pastor because talented, or maybe you're saying I'm uninspiring. There's

  550. nothing that I can say that can inspire people. Maybe

  551. you're saying that I'm an experienced or maybe you're saying

  552. that you know bani, so I don't have that experience.

  553. Maybe you're saying you're under resource. I remember seeing the

  554. posta saying the Maha people with influence. You're saying the

  555. heir of talent, no, so God can't use me. Or

  556. maybe saying you're unprepared, you aren't prepared for this, or

  557. maybe you're uncertain yeah sure, or may be saying you

  558. are unattractive knowing the THEMAGENSA Y m H, don't squad

  559. or maybe saying that nothing is attractive Sumi right, or

  560. maybe saying you're uncompelling or maybe unemployed, or maybe you're

  561. saying you're unessential, but I'm logo, maybe saying you're unequipped, unexciting,

  562. or maybe unworthy. No, that's the big thing, unworthy, seeing

  563. the means, and you feel that you are unworthy. Let

  564. me tell you honestly, A lot of times, that's how

  565. I feel. Every Saturday, I'm struggling. I'm wrestling with myself

  566. the Lord Steak speak, you know, not not because I

  567. don't want to, but because I feel that I'm unworthy,

  568. but because I feel that I'm unqualified, I don't know

  569. what to say. I don't even know. Human have to

  570. being go. It's really important for other people. But the

  571. truth is, sometimes you know, as leaders, as pisors, I

  572. want to say to you know, yeah, no, no, no,

  573. you are qualified, No, you are you are certain, you

  574. are attractive, you are experienced.

  575. You are worthy. You know sometimes you want to believe that.

  576. But the truth is, this is the truth, this is

  577. who we are now.

  578. But yes, we are an experience, we are under resource,

  579. we are uninspiring. That's the truth. It's true to Peter.

  580. It's true to John and it's true for us us

  581. as well. We are really unqualified. But you know what,

  582. it's not the antonyms of all these things. It's not

  583. the white words that makes us qualify. Amen. We don't

  584. earn our qualifications. There's nothing that we can do to

  585. earn or deserve to be qualified. The good news is

  586. that it is Jesus who qualifies us. It's what he

  587. has done for us. It's who he is. It's not

  588. who we are and what we have done, it's who

  589. Jesus is. Amen. Come on, you know, the Book of

  590. Acts tells us the story of how God takes this ordinary,

  591. unschooled and unqualified people and unleash them for God's purpose

  592. and turn the world upside down. Amen. And that's what

  593. we will be talking about, not just for this week,

  594. for the coming weeks, but tomorrow maybe you will be

  595. having our Unleashed BTC. It's on or pasta eight pm.

  596. We'll see you here live streaming on Facebook. You know,

  597. if you've been fasting, this will be our last night

  598. tomorrow and we will break our fast dinner time. We

  599. all be unleashed. Saba sabai bas and I see you there,

  600. and I hope that you know you are excited as well.

  601. We'll be talking about the Book of Acts and how

  602. God unleash this ordinary, unschooled and unqualified people and turn

  603. the world upside down. How did that happen? How does

  604. the full force of the church unleash be unleashed? How

  605. did it happen? Let's look at that quickly, Sabi asks

  606. up to three, verse two and four. Let's read that.

  607. Remember this story. We talked about this yes last week. Now.

  608. A man who was named from from birth was being

  609. carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was

  610. put every day to beg From those going into the

  611. temple courts, those who would pray every day, those who

  612. would worship God, they would always see that person because

  613. every day, No, don't push up, because every day he

  614. was carried there by someone to beg and verse four Sabli.

  615. When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he

  616. asked them for money. So, Sigura, just like everybody else

  617. he was asking money for but this time it's different

  618. that Peter John Saban Verse four. Peter looked straight at him.

  619. Then Peter said, look at us, you know, looking at

  620. something who is begging is not really something that we

  621. tend to do. Tama Ba Sin experienced me Mamaly mosta

  622. better Liland thing in more Sin experience as al Sade

  623. the mammalia. And sometimes it's uncomfortable seeing other people suffer

  624. while you amava. So when we see other people begging suffering,

  625. we don't want to look. We tend to look away.

  626. That's our tendencies jar Rika amen, and we avoid. But

  627. you know what happened to Peter. He intentionally stared, and

  628. not just you know, not the alanding, but according to

  629. the Bible, he stared at that person. When we say stare,

  630. it's like looking straight into somebody's soul. And Peter and

  631. John saw that this guy needs more than what he

  632. was asking. He saw this beggar for who he is,

  633. just like how God sees us. It wasn't something that

  634. the beggar usually experienced. That everybody looks awake and the

  635. Mamaly Mussi right, people walk by him every day, and

  636. for that person Peter and John to be staring at him,

  637. it is something different, you know, saying you know Cartain,

  638. you face to face and the part of the moves

  639. of case mahamatano a par al. You know, that's what

  640. this beggar experience because out of this, out of all

  641. the people in the world, Peter and John, maybe the

  642. same people that passed by him at that moment, looked

  643. at him straight and saw what he needed, you know,

  644. maybe to see Peter Chazy John and even see Jesus. Remember,

  645. this beggar is at the temple. See Jesus. You always

  646. go to the temple and pray. I don't know how

  647. many times that Jesus, Peter and John has walk by

  648. the same person. It wasn't the first time that Peter

  649. and John saw him. But you know what, this time

  650. it's different because this time is the right time. How

  651. many times or how many years the man has a buheim,

  652. you know, and you always had that mentality of being unqualified,

  653. But you know what, this year, this is a different year.

  654. This is a different time. Twenty twenty two is the

  655. right time for us to look at the things that

  656. makes us uncomfortable, to look at the things that needs

  657. to be looked at, to look at the things that

  658. you've been trying to brush off all your life. Now, no,

  659. somebody will help him. Somebody can take care of him,

  660. not me. I'm unqualified. But you know, it's time to

  661. see that there are people who needs saving, that there

  662. are people who needs healing, that there are people who

  663. needs help, who needs Jesus Christ. You know, it's time

  664. for us to be unleashed. It's time for us to stop,

  665. you know, not giving a care to other people besides ourselves.

  666. It's time that we look past our own needs, our

  667. own preferences, and what we think is necessary, and start

  668. to see those people who are lost, who are broken,

  669. who are in need of Jesus Christ. It's time that

  670. we unleash ourselves. Because I want you to write this down,

  671. these three things of how how the power, the full

  672. force of the church was unleashed. Number one is this

  673. unleashing happens when ordinary people show extraordinary compassion, Just like

  674. see Peter and said John, by just looking at that

  675. persona it wasn't just that beggar who was touched, but

  676. it was also John and Peter. It spoke to them,

  677. they were they were all beggar. Look at us, look

  678. at us, you know, say Acts chapter three, verse six.

  679. It's a story of Babasanata. And then Peter said, silver

  680. and gold, I do not have, but what I do have,

  681. I give you the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

  682. This is what I'm talking about. Blessed to bless and Pedro.

  683. I don't have much. I don't have what you think

  684. you want, but I have what you need because that's

  685. what I have. I have Jesus Christ. You know this.

  686. This beggar started to walk because there is power in

  687. the name of Jesus Christ, and Sabini Pedro, in the

  688. name of Jesus walk and that's what he did. He

  689. started to walk, bego why, of course, because of the

  690. power of Jesus Christ. But all started with the compassion

  691. that Peter and John had and he began to start

  692. to walk. You know if you have seen the same beggar,

  693. the same person, sitting there the same spot for years

  694. and years and years. Then all of a sudden, the

  695. belushion to Mayota, what did you take notice? Take it

  696. on Paran now, huh, you don't have to be.

  697. And everybody was like, take a land, the Bacos, the Bacons, James,

  698. now Lumpo.

  699. You know what. People began to take notice. They begin

  700. begin to take interest, not just because of this guy

  701. walking pars that here, this person that showed compassion out

  702. of all the people in the world. They begin to

  703. take interest into what Peter and John has to say.

  704. Before they were like fishermen and qualified. And because something

  705. happened because they showed Compassiontau, what do you say? I mean,

  706. he's their act of compassion gives them credibility and creates opportunity.

  707. Are you getting this? You know, our act of compassion

  708. gives credibility not to us, but to the gospel that

  709. we are preaching, to the gospel that we are believing.

  710. And it creates an opportunity to connect to people, to

  711. connect the people to Jesus Christ. That's what we do

  712. here at church. We have blessed serving show kindness. We

  713. call that compassion. That's how we show it. This is

  714. who we will be for twenty twenty two. Everything that

  715. we will be doing, it's about helping other people. It's

  716. about blessing other people. It's about serving other people. It's

  717. about showing kindness and compassion to other people. That's what

  718. it means for us to become unleash. Amen. Maybe you

  719. know this already casual and he didn't want to go out.

  720. Why there's so many reasons why. Maybe one of them

  721. is you thinking I'm unqualified? Who am iy to bless

  722. other people? I miss? I feel that I'm not blessed. Amen.

  723. This is who we should be. We will love God

  724. and love people. That's our purpose. Remember, we keep on

  725. saying that over and over in because it's who we are.

  726. We love God, and as we love God, we need

  727. to love the people that loves or that God loves

  728. as well. And as we love those people that He loves,

  729. people begin to show God, God, I love you so much.

  730. It's not the words that were saying, the words that

  731. we say, it's the act of compassion that we show

  732. to other people. I remember that there is this showing

  733. the food networks, not Food Network, let me food networking,

  734. cooking show, the YouTube hm, somebody just eating. But this

  735. is different. You don't Food Network. It's people cooking food.

  736. I can't here because you want to eat, But I

  737. would suggest that you watch Food Network instead because it

  738. teaches you not to eat, but how to cook. Melonisms

  739. show it's called chopped. You couldn't familiar show you chopped

  740. you show? They would give this chef you ma a

  753. am a Christian. I'm a Christian. He's so talking about

  754. his faith. I'm gonna say Christian. But then yeah, Parn,

  761. that she can win the prize money to to use

  762. that same money para Paris and take care of Lola.

  765. shave because I want her to be reunited with her grandmother.

  766. Unfortunately not allu Ya by bye Wealo Si Lance. He

  767. was blessed. And but that was the show. You know,

  768. everybody is celebrating. You want, you want le me games

  769. the way Matalan Sumera, but but they play emotions movies

  774. God blessed me with this, with this blessing. And who

  775. wants you to have the price money so that you

  776. can go and visit your grandma? You know, from that,

  777. from that moment, I'll go that's Lance. He's a Christian

  778. and I was so proud of him here before by

  779. he broadcast a mundu. But the moment that he showed compassion.

  780. It changed how I saw him. You know, that's how

  781. the world sees us as well. We all have this

  782. opportunity now to just say that we are Christians, to

  783. show them with our clothes, with the post that we pose,

  784. but with the compassion that we act. Amen. More than

  785. the words he spoke to Zelans, he backed it up

  786. with this act of compassion. And we have this opportunity

  787. for twenty twenty two after opportunity after opportunity to show

  788. compassion to people and to say and to make them

  789. see who we really are, who our God is, who

  790. Jesus is. And those who think that they know about Jesus,

  791. that they know about the Church, they would see the

  792. gospel in a hole new lights. You know the reason

  793. why there's a lot of eighties, there's a lot of

  794. people who doesn't believe in Jesus Christ. It's because of

  795. people who profess that they are following Jesus Christ, but

  796. they're not living the life that they are meant to live.

  797. They're turning their eye away from the people that needs help. Amen.

  798. And you know how we can win people back to

  799. Jesus Christ by showing compassion. Amen. You know it wasn't

  800. Peter and John's qualification that unleash the Gospel. It wasn't

  801. Peter's qualification that made him speak out and three thousands

  802. and five thousand people were saved. It wasn't because of

  803. his pedigree, It wasn't his last name. It wasn't his

  804. education that qualit him and did miraculous things about It

  805. was his small act of compassion. Amen. We are seeing

  806. all the problems in the world, in our country, in

  807. our community, and our family, and we think that we

  808. need to make a difference. That making a difference, we

  809. need power in making difference, we need the right position

  810. that in making a difference, we need to have the knowledge.

  811. You know all those three things. That's the way of

  812. the world. The world thinks that in order for you

  813. to change the world, you need to have power. You

  814. need to have positions. You need to have knowledge. You

  815. know all those three things. What it gives us, It

  816. gives us pride, it gives us indifference. Now, yeah, I

  817. know more than you. You are putting up a wall

  818. in front of view. I'm a smuggling osioh, the most powerful.

  819. That's the way of the world. That's not how Jesus operated.

  820. That's not how the kingdom operated. That's not the way

  821. of the kingdom. The way of the Kingdom and how

  822. Jesus operated is with humility and compassion means I mean,

  823. I'm I'm the son of God. I'm not going to

  824. come down there and save the people. I'm just going

  825. to click my fingers to just let Sitanos no what

  826. he do. He came down to earth to be with us,

  827. to have relationship with us, to hurt with us, to

  828. feel what we are feeling as well. That's compassion. Amen.

  829. The first step in unleashing the full force of the

  830. church is unleashing compassion. Can you imagine? Can you imagine

  831. what we can do as a church, what BTC can

  832. do if he will just come together and be united

  833. as a church, the full first of the church, the

  834. full force of the Church, will be unleashed with radical

  835. acts of compassion that will create opportunities and give credibility

  836. to the gospel, to what we are preaching, to what

  837. you are posting, to what you are saying. It starts

  838. with the acts of compassion and you being unleashed here

  839. in twenty twenty two, it's you, Bell, it's you doing

  840. compassionate things to the world around us. Amen. So as

  841. Peter and John followed their act of compassion, it did

  842. not stop there, Sable and go I have none in

  843. the name of Jesus Christ walk Den. What happened after

  844. that the following verses moments after in verse four and

  845. chapter four and acts. Let's look at that, Sabon. But

  846. many who heard the message believe. But many who heard

  847. Peter and John's message because they started to believe, because

  848. they started to open up their ears. Why, because of

  849. the act of compassion, they started to take notice of

  850. what are you saying? What are these guys saying the

  851. same guys that here this this broken man, and what happens?

  852. They started to believe. So the number of men who

  853. believed grew to about five thousand. It wasn't five thousand

  854. who believed, Naon. Some are saying it's two thousand because

  855. you're first preaching to Peter. It was three thousand, and

  856. now it's grown up to five thousand. So in total,

  857. in just a few days, because of the act of

  858. compassion of Peter, five thousand were added to the church. Wow.

  859. That is wow, Amen. And the second step, the second

  860. step in unleashing the full force of the church is

  861. unleashing courageous words. I want you to write this down.

  862. Number two. Unleashing happens when ordinary people start speaking with courage.

  863. Type in the comments sartions a being of courage. You know,

  864. there is a connection between compari of compassion and speaking

  865. with courage. So it's not just compassion, it's not just

  866. speaking with courage. You need to take that next step

  867. after compassion, speak with courage. Notice the order here. Peter

  868. had credibility because of his act of compassion. Because most

  869. of the time, as Christians, we want to impress people

  870. first with big words, with religious terminologies, with our knowledge,

  871. thinking that that is how we can get people to

  872. listen to us. I remember this one comedian. Every time

  873. that he goes up doing the stage, somebody would ask him, now,

  874. only you tip smoke a panamagiante just like you. They

  875. are saying, is one of the goats, the greatest ever comedian,

  876. you know, not just in our lifetime but ever. And

  877. people are saying how to become Upo and Sabin, don't

  878. it all it's Dave Chappelle. By the way, Sabin, Dave

  879. Chappelle that you don't stand up here because you're funny

  880. because you have funny things to say. You stand up

  881. here because you are interesting. It's the same thing with

  882. us speaking in the Gospel. It's not because of our words,

  883. it's because of who we are. It's because of what

  884. we have done, a man act of compassion. But it

  885. doesn't stop there. We need to follow it, of course,

  886. with courageous words. Sabis said verse one in two, a

  887. few verses before the Sabinasonatin, when when they started to believe,

  888. Faber and the priest and the captain of the temple

  889. guard and the seduces came up to Peter and John

  890. while they were speaking to the people. They were greatly

  891. disturbed because the apostles were teaching the people proclaiming in

  892. Jesus the resurrection of the dead. Remember, lambs among wolves

  893. talked about that a few a few weeks ago, they

  894. encountered Peter and John encountered wolves among them. Don't see

  895. Peter and John. Maybe maybe this is the reason why

  896. many followers of Jesus Christ just want to follow Jesus quietly. Now.

  897. I don't want to share the gospel pass because I

  898. don't want to make enemies, im offense, and I just

  899. want to follow Jesus Christ privately. You know, maybe that's

  900. what you are saying right now. You're saying that, you know,

  901. my relationship with Jesus, my faith is just between me

  902. and Jesus. I don't need to, you know, broadcast it.

  903. I don't need to. I don't need to tell other

  904. people that I'm a follower of Jesus Christ. It's inappropriate.

  905. I'maba right now. There's a lot of people who are

  906. an Amabel, irritated, offended by this person. Debates and talked

  907. about God, talked about Jesus Christ, talked about the problem

  908. with this country and the solution is God. And they're saying,

  909. now a gold Gimpasidenta and gog Lan is some boom

  910. Bible stadium Filipinas hm HM, separation between church and the government.

  911. I'm talking about. Manny Pakiao, Manny Pacquiao came to that

  912. debate and he courageously spoke, spoke about the problems of

  913. this country, and he talked about the answer to that problem.

  914. We talked about God. And what happened to him because

  915. he spoke courageously, he was being persecuted, he was being bashed, ridiculed,

  916. he was being hated. Don't get me wrong. I'm not

  917. I'm not campaigning for many Pakiao. I'm not saying that

  918. we all vote him for president. If you want, go ahead,

  919. you know that's not that's not my my thing to

  920. say all of us should vote for him. No, for me,

  921. it's not just about running for president of the Philippines.

  922. That is just a small and somewhat hat somewhat insignificant

  923. to all. Lang. You are given six years to change

  924. the country. Just six years, I a significance, non, But

  925. you know what God has called us to do more.

  926. God has called us, created us, gave us this lifetime

  927. to make a difference in the world, not just six years. Amen.

  928. You know what what Manifaciao is doing. He is showing

  929. all of us how to become a true follower of

  930. Jesus Christ. You know, if that is you that person

  931. to blawn all, ridiculing him, persecuting him, telling him that,

  932. you know, you shouldn't be saying that, you should just

  933. be saying that in church. That's just sad if you're

  934. a Christian and you are thinking that, you're saying that

  935. talking about talking about wolves. The Bible also says that

  936. there will be wolves among sheep's clothing. Yeah, it's inappropriate.

  937. You know what, you know what is inappropriate. You know

  938. what is more inappropriate. It's knowing the answer to the

  939. problem and not say anything about it. You know that Jesus,

  940. that this country needs Jesus Christ. But you are saying no, no,

  941. I'm not going to say anything that's inappropriate. Do you

  942. know who we should be bashing instead? You know now

  943. it's not the time to be quiet. Now, it's not

  944. the time not to say anything. The day of being quiet,

  945. the day of not speaking out, it has passed. Twenty

  946. twenty two is the year that we will be unleashed

  947. a man that we will preach the Gospel wherever and whenever.

  948. It's not just inappropriate, actually it's not just inappropriate to

  949. speak up, but it's on christ Like. If you're not

  950. going to speak up, then you're not a Christian. Try

  951. to say I'm sorry, that's the truth. If you're saying that,

  952. I'm just going to keep my faith, you're not being

  953. christ Like. But see, Jesus is quiet, he is he

  954. is loving. You know, there's a big difference between being

  955. quiet and being loving. There's a big difference between being

  956. quiet and being compassionate. Indeed, it's a bit tahimika. You're compassionate. Amen.

  957. It's time that we become unleashed and start to preach

  958. the gospel. Tottle people who are any to see petercy John.

  959. They knew that they would have that same faith as Jesus.

  960. Jesus was crucified just a couple of days ago, for

  961. what for preaching the the Kingdom of God? And as

  962. they preach the Gospels. Pay as they preach the Kingdom

  963. of God, they knew that possibly they can be crucified

  964. as well. But it did not stop them. It did

  965. not make them quiet. You know what happened when Jesus

  966. was crucified. That's when they become unleashed even more. In

  967. Chapter four, verse seventy nine, it says there they had

  968. Peter and John brought before them, and began to question them,

  969. by what power of what name did you do this?

  970. Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them,

  971. filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, rulers and

  972. elders of the people, if we are being called to

  973. account today for an act of kindness shown to a

  974. man who was lame, and are being asked how he

  975. was healed what's happening here? This fisherman, lamp in gal

  976. and unschooled ordinary. You know, usually those kind of people

  977. if they ask, Butchine a Sambian, you are offending a

  978. lot of people has been that. Sorry, I'll just be quiet.

  979. Do not talk about why? Don't he Peter, he was

  980. filled with the Holy spirit. He was courageous, start being

  981. out of the God. God did not give us the

  982. spirit of fear and discouragement, but of power, love and

  983. sound mind. He had all those three things, and he

  984. began to say, He asked, are you asking us of

  985. what happened? Just because of our act of kindness? He

  986. didn't talk to him how he was healed. They are

  987. being persecuted because they show kindness my europeon amen. So

  988. don't stop. Don't stop showing act of kindness. Don't stop

  989. showing act of compassion just because people are persecuting you.

  990. Maybe they're persecuting because you are not doing the right things.

  991. All right, If somebody is persecuting you, because in the

  992. can of Google something Ghan, there wouldn't been that persecution.

  993. That's not an attack against your faith. It's an attack

  994. against your katamar random gouga something Ghan, But if people

  995. are saying you shouldn't do that. You shouldn't be helping people.

  996. You shouldn't be loving people, you should be condemning them.

  997. That's wrong. That's what Peter is asking. We didn't do

  998. anything wrong. We just hear this person the verse ten.

  999. That's a good thing you're reading, Sabidan. Then know this,

  1000. you and all the people of Israel. It is by

  1001. the name of Jesus Christ, Sabina. Since you ask, I'm

  1002. gonna say you and all the people of Israel, it

  1003. is by the name of Jesus Christ of Naturith, whom

  1004. you're crucified, whom you crucify, the same people who crucify

  1005. Jesus Christ. The same very same people that crucified Jesus Christ.

  1006. Is the same people that Peter is talking to right now.

  1007. That's boldness, that's courage. Wow, he's saying now, it is

  1008. by the name of Jesus Christ, whom you crucified, but

  1009. whom God raised from the dead. That this man stands

  1010. before you healed he is in having lidsy quiet now, right,

  1011. I might get crucified, so I won't say anything quiet

  1012. and dial but no, because he was filled with the

  1013. Holy Spirit and is by Jesus Christ, the one who

  1014. you crucified. That's why he can walk. He was healed

  1015. by him, Amen, he was filled with the Holy Spirit.

  1016. And verse thirteen, Sabon. This is the verse that we

  1017. talked about, Karina, but I'll be reading the full verse.

  1018. When they saw the courage of Peter and John and

  1019. realized that they were un schooled, ordinary man tka well

  1020. al amtoa the mag Maxellita. They just ordinary people. But

  1021. because they spoke with courage, they all was amazed by them, Sabidon.

  1022. They were astonished, and they took note that this man

  1023. had been with Jesus. Because they were courageous. They knew

  1024. as Jesus, are you getting what I'm saying here? They

  1025. took notes that they are followers of Jesus Christ. So

  1026. if you're asking how do people know that I'm a Christian?

  1027. Number one, it's through act of compassion, and number two,

  1028. it's by you speaking boldly courageously. Amen. That's how people

  1029. would take note. He's been with Jesus. He has a

  1030. relationship with Jesus. You know. That is why Jesus loves

  1031. to unleash who are unqualified, the people who aren't qualified,

  1032. because people will take notice not of their qualification. People

  1033. will not take notice because they are super talented, because

  1034. they are super knowledgeable, because they are super resources. But

  1035. they will take noice because they have spent time with him.

  1036. They would not see a Magelli, sykid I Magellins, Robie Magazins, Gennell.

  1037. You know what people will see to go to Christiano

  1038. Magelinka say maybe he spend time with Jesus Christ. Amen,

  1039. I want you to write down this number. Three. Unleashing

  1040. happens when ordinary people spend time with Jesus Christ. In

  1041. ordinary people spend time reading, doing their devotion. When ordinary

  1042. people take time to ask God for more in their lives.

  1043. When ordinary people take time to have fellowship with fellow

  1044. compassionate and courageous people in their squads, in their life group,

  1045. in their cell group. When ordinary people take time to pray,

  1046. you know being unleashed. It's being engaged. Peter and John

  1047. made a big difference that day. Thousands of people were safe.

  1048. The same people who crucify Jesus Christ took notice all

  1049. of a sudden, something is happening here, something is changing here.

  1050. Why because they spend time with Jesus. That's how Peter

  1051. and John had the compassion, had the courage to speak up.

  1052. Maybe you're saying, pasor and here up, none and here

  1053. up to have compassion with other people, especially those people

  1054. who persecute you. It's so hard to speak up in

  1055. front of many people. It's hard to speak up in

  1056. this world, especially now musu usu and cancel culture. All

  1057. of a sudden, people can can comment whatever in my

  1058. post and people can gang up on me. It's so hard.

  1059. Do you know how how Peter and John made it

  1060. easy for them by them spending time with Jesus Christ.

  1061. So if you're saying here up, pastor, I challenge you

  1062. spend more time, spend more time in your devotion, spend

  1063. more time in prayer, spend more time being with the

  1064. people that God plays in your life and your squads,

  1065. being with your leader, being with your pastor talking to them. Amen,

  1066. do you know what you would find yourself having this courage.

  1067. You will find yourself having the heart to do compassionate

  1068. things things thing domana Gaga before the key, spend time

  1069. with Jesus. Amen. You know with all the unwordsords have

  1070. the bunget canina a him, all of those things that

  1071. we think that makes us unqualified. There is this just

  1072. one un that we forgot to say here that actually

  1073. makes us unqualified. You might have bung get Cornino. Maybe

  1074. the things that you are thinking before it doesn't make

  1075. you unqualified because Jesus qualifies you. But there is just

  1076. one word that unqualifies you for real. That word is

  1077. this unavailable. You won't be unqualified if you're under resource,

  1078. if you are untrained, unprepared, but you are unqualified if

  1079. you are unavailable. To please type in the comment section

  1080. right now unavailable. There's a lot of people that God

  1081. used tho its biblical times, a lot of unqualified people,

  1082. a lot of ordinary people God use, you know, to

  1083. do amazing things. But not only that, God uh does

  1084. amazing things through their lives, not because they are unqualified,

  1085. but because they are available. Maybe you're not saying, you're

  1086. saying right now, I'm not saying no, but I'm not.

  1087. I'm just saying not now. You know, events I will eventually,

  1088. I will follow Jesus, eventually, you know, I will preach

  1089. the God. But eventually I will have my own sell group.

  1090. I will have my own squad. But not now, I'm

  1091. so busy. Not now he you know, pandemic, or maybe

  1092. sayings called patapus in school. You know, I just need

  1093. to concentrate on this, or maybe saying then I will

  1094. be unleashed because right now I'm unqualified. You are unqualified

  1095. because you are unavailable. It was being unavailable that kept

  1096. you on that leash for so long. So you're saying

  1097. that God, I want to be unleashed, and God is

  1098. saying to you right now, the problem is not the circumstances.

  1099. It's not your qualification, it's your unavailability. It's you saying

  1100. all the time, no, no, not now, No, It's time

  1101. to cut that leash. Bless the city Church. Let's unleash

  1102. the full force of the church by saying yes, Lord.

  1103. You know, we are saying that, we are singing that God.

  1104. We say yes all the promise that you have spoken,

  1105. all the words that you've released in my life. Lord,

  1106. we are saying yes to that Lord. We are saying

  1107. yes to the Holy You know why how the Twelve

  1108. Disciples the Church turned the world upside down because they

  1109. say yes to Jesus. Because they say yes when Jesus says,

  1110. go and make disciples of all nations. You know how

  1111. we can change. You know how we can make a

  1112. difference in this world by being available twenty twenty two.

  1113. We need to say it now. We need to say

  1114. to the world, Yes, I will be engaged. I will

  1115. not just attend my squad, but I will I will

  1116. be engaged in it. I will not just attend it,

  1117. but I will open my own squahan. I will help

  1118. other people find their way back to Jesus Christ. I

  1119. will not just sit watching the live stream, but I

  1120. will be doing my devotion every day. I will be unleash.

  1121. I will be unleashed. I'm not just going to stand

  1122. and watch other people serve God, but I will serve

  1123. God myself. Amen. I don't know what I can do.

  1124. Maybe I can help people. I can help the church

  1125. it deliver humana packages, samagatahota. Maybe I can start there.

  1126. Maybe you can start by welcoming other people. Maybe you

  1127. can start by just inviting people to church, inviting people

  1128. to your squad, being unlead, saying yes to God's calling

  1129. in our lives. Come on, let's pray Lord Bami Silama

  1130. for this word. Thank you God for reminding us and

  1131. making it clear, Sarmon that being unleashed is not pouring blessings.

  1132. Being unleashed is not, you know, being reaching our goals

  1133. and our prayers. Lord, Thank you for clearing it up.

  1134. The being unleashed God is removing the things that is

  1135. stopping us, including our own desires, including our own arm

  1136. wants and needs, including our own self. Lord. But I

  1137. pray right now that you unleash the mindset of us

  1138. being unqualified to do what you want us to do.

  1139. Thank you God, And we receive that word, Lord, that

  1140. you are the one who qualified us because of what

  1141. you have done and who you are. And there is

  1142. nothing that we can do to unqualify ourselves besides us

  1143. being unavailable for you. So right now, God Lord, we

  1144. are saying yes and amen to your boy. Whatever you

  1145. want us to do, whatever plans you have for us

  1146. for twenty twenty two, it's a yes for us. Lord.

  1147. We will follow you and we will do what you

  1148. want us to do. God Lord. We are so excited

  1149. for what you are about to do in our church, God,

  1150. and I pray Lord that each and every one of us, Lord,

  1151. we become leaders of leaders. Now. We know that we

  1152. are not meant to just sit and watch. Now, we

  1153. are not just meant to sit and listen. But we

  1154. are here to stand up and to do something and

  1155. make a difference in the lives of the people all

  1156. around the story, the lives of our families and our

  1157. community and our nation. Lord. But I'm Slama God, And

  1158. even though we are unqualified according to the standard of

  1159. this world, but we are qualified according to the standard

  1160. of your kingdom. Lord. We bring you back all the

  1161. glory and all your honor. God. In this we pray

  1162. in Jesus' name. Amen, Amen, and Amen, Come on, give
