  6. came loose, the jailer woke up, and when he saw

  7. the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was

  8. about to kill himself because he thought the prisoners had escape,

  9. but Paul shouted, don't harm yourself, we are all here.

  10. The jaylor called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling

  11. before Paul and Silas. He then brought them out and asked, sirs,

  12. what must I do to be saved? They replied, believe

  13. in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you

  14. and your household. Then they spoke the word of the

  15. Lord to him and to all the others in his

  16. house at that hour of the night. The jailor took

  17. them and washed their wounds. Then imdigitally, he and all

  18. his households were baptized. The jailer brought them into his

  19. house and set a meal before them. He was filled

  20. with joy because he had come to believe in God.

  287. you worship and pray. Amen. You know, I believe that

  288. God will set them free because of your worship, because

  289. of your praise. The question is this Was it about

  290. the volume of their praise? Was it because they sank

  291. and praised loud? Was it because they were praying in

  292. such a manner and a part of talagan, don't do yasilah,

  293. don't do emozillah. Was it the volume of the praise

  294. that shook the earth or was it the conviction of

  295. their praise. You know, God is not looking for loud people.

  296. God is not looking for loud people. God is not

  297. looking at the volume of your worship. He is looking

  298. at the conviction of your worship. And when we say

  299. conviction your faith when we are saying, great is your faithfulness.

  300. Sometimes we just shout it out loud that your heart

  301. is crying. No nor heard. I'm not seeing it. But no,

  302. even if he shout the words, but your heart is

  303. not in it. God can't hear your praise. God sees

  304. is looking at your heart. And man, that's why we

  305. always say, it's not about how big you give. Maybe

  306. you're giving one million dollars, so pass us one dollars

  307. a month, but your God is blessing you with a

  308. hundred million. What is one million. It's not about how

  309. big you get or how big you give. It's about

  310. your heart. It's not about how loud you praise. It's

  311. about the conviction of your heart. We call this the

  312. even if kind of worship. You don't see polansy silence.

  313. They were worshiping, they were praying. They don't know if

  314. God would shake the ground, They don't know if God

  315. will tear off They're chains. But they were praising and worshiping,

  316. even if some some of us hear at this pandemic

  317. before the pandemic grad become a worship become observed. But

  318. then because of this pandemic in the mun and Aaikita,

  319. you stop worshiping, You stop praising, Why you stop praying?

  320. Why because of the pandemic in front of me. You

  321. know what will shake the world. It's not how loud

  322. we live, it's how well we live, living by the

  323. conviction of the Holy Spirit, the word of God, believing

  324. what you are worshiping, believing in what you are praying for.

  325. It's not just the words that will make your prayer happen.

  326. It's your heart, it's your faith, it's your conviction. And

  327. tosi politic Silas they were praying and singing hymn to God,

  328. and the prisoners were listening to them, and all of

  329. a sudden, an earthquake breaks out. The prisons doors open,

  330. and all the prisons are set free. You know this day,

  331. I'm speaking freedom in Jesus name. Right now, as we

  333. Maybe you're in prison to bitterness, maybe you're in prison

  334. to addiction. Maybe you're in prison to worrying anxieties. Maybe

  335. you're in prison to wrong relationships. Maybe you're in prison

  336. to deaths and financial problems. I speak in freedom. I

  341. Church at home, kome go dynamo right now. If you're

  343. through I don't know, but you need to believe right

  344. now and to receive this right now that God will

  345. bring opened the prison doors. He will break all the

  346. change that is imprisoning you. Right now, I'm speaking freedom

  347. in Jesus name. Sabe verse twenty seven. Let's go back.

  348. Sabi the jailor woke up. Yeah. All the while, the

  349. jailor then netflix Shah when they faced Booksha and at Luksha,

  350. Sab the jailor woke up all of a sudden because

  351. of this earthquake, and when he saw the prison doors open,

  352. he drew his sword and was about to kill himself,

  353. and I was reading this a hard log. He drew

  354. his sword to kill the prisoners barby Bukima prisoners. He

  355. jumped into conclusion. Ah ya yamana prisoners. That's why he

  356. drew the sword. He's what He was ready to kill himself.

  357. He was already hopeless. He thought that the prisoner prisoners

  358. had kid jailer was about to come. It's suicide because

  359. he was caught sleeping during a prison break. In verse

  360. twenty eight, Sabon. Then Paul shouted, don't harm yourself. We

  361. are all here. Anita bar me away. Don't kill yourself.

  362. Don't kill yourself. You know what. Another thing that I

  363. saw in this text, in this story is that God

  364. never wants to bless you to curse somebody else. God

  365. never broke Paul in silence out of jail to get

  366. somebody else, little jailer in problems in trouble. Let me

  367. say that again. God never wants to bless you to

  368. curse somebody else. God wants to bless you to become

  369. a blessing. God gives you comfort so you can be

  370. a comfort. God gives you joy so you can be

  371. joy to others. God lives you up so you can

  372. lift others up. Might sometimes we will bring the lords

  373. and a bless Moro LORDO. You know this gospel right now,

  374. this story, this gospel of Jesus Christ is being played

  375. out in real time as we read this. The love,

  376. the grace, the great, the mercy of Jesus Christ is

  377. being shown. Or what about what about this jailer? Okay, fine,

  378. they were free? Now, hallelujah, Praise God, Lisa, we're free. Hallelujah.

  379. We were saying you were free, But what about the jailor?

  380. Because sometimes we think about ourselves more than anybody else.

  381. But God is showing through this story. He's seeing the

  382. whole part of the story. He is seeing everybody else

  383. and not just you. Sometimes we are so focused on ourselves,

  384. and even during this pandemic, how many how many people

  385. have we let go during this pandemic? Did you let

  386. go of yourself just to save yourself? Sometimes we are

  387. so selfish, you're bringing people down just to save yourself.

  388. The God is showing to us right, No, no, no,

  389. that's not how we do it. That's not the Jesus way.

  390. That's not what the gospel is all about. Jesus died

  391. for you so that you will be saved. Jesus did

  392. not die for you so that you will be saved

  393. and others will perish. You need to understand this right now,

  394. said about Jesus g love, Jesus mercy, about Jesus grace.

  395. In the moment that he drove his story, he's about

  396. to kill himself, saying they would hand me for sure,

  397. and all of a sudden, Silas, way, don't kill yourself.

  398. We're still here. Everybody is still here. Oh, this is amazing.

  399. Paul and socil As, we understood they were Christians, they

  400. were following Jesus Christ. They will not do anything to

  401. harm other people and man, even even if if it's

  402. about their blessing. It's understood about Silas. But what about

  403. the other prisoners. But what about those people that are

  404. there for a reason, maybe murderous rapists, thieves, add people.

  405. You know what, because of their praise and their worship,

  406. Maybe they found hope, they found love, they found faith,

  407. and instead of running away to La, they stayed behind

  408. with Paul and Silas. That's what your praise and prayer does.

  409. It's not just about you, It's about the people around Jaya.

  410. Maybe the people who doesn't know Jesus yet. But because

  411. of your faith, you know you are contagious. Yes, ki

  412. Amaska Kai and aface shield CAA, your faith will still

  413. be contagious. That's how much potent your face is. Amen.

  414. The moment that the jailer understood this, you know what

  415. happened to him. He did not say booting us, right,

  416. but you know what the jailor did. He was so

  417. moved by by Paul and Silas mercy and grace that

  418. it drove him to his knees. So I'm not touched.

  419. So I'm not moved with compassion, don't jailer and at

  420. all one? On verse twenty nine, the jailer called for lights,

  421. rushed in and felt trembling before Paul and Silas. He

  422. then brought them out and asked, sirs, what must I

  423. do to be saved? You know I still believe this,

  424. that God will use people to save people. What does

  425. that mean? The kindness of humanity will turn the hearts

  426. of people back to the love of Jesus Christ. God

  427. will use you. God will use not just your words,

  428. but he will use your actions. Because you always say

  429. actions speaks louder than words. You see it wasn't just

  430. the worship service. It wasn't the worship service that Paul

  431. and Silas was doing inside of the self. It's not

  432. the jail ministry. It's not the songs that Paul and

  433. Silas was singing. The change the jailer. What was it.

  434. It was the kindness of a man that brought a

  435. man to repentance. Bible says that it's God's loving kindness

  436. us to repent, us showing empathy to another, it's showing

  437. compassion to another. You know. Ultimately, yes, church work, this

  438. building is working, our rosal celebration, our lives stream is working.

  439. But it doesn't stop there. You know, the ultimate, the ultimate,

  440. not that to fish for men. It's not the songs

  441. that we sing. It's not the name of our church.

  442. It's not how good or great our lives streaming is.

  443. It's your compassion. It's your kindness. Say no, your praise

  444. that Lord, I want my family, Lord, I want my

  445. my friends to be saved. It's not gonna be your clothes.

  446. It's not gonna be your words, but it's gonna be

  447. your actions. It's gonna be about your compassion. It's not

  448. it's to be about your kindness that will bring them

  449. to the needs of Jesus Christ. You know, Church, we

  450. need to be a church that is filled with compassion,

  451. that is filled with empathy understanding what they are going through.

  452. You know why because once in your life you were

  453. there in their shoes. Once in your life you were

  454. there doing they can You were there in the darkness

  455. as well. You know, this crisis is exactly the opportunity

  456. that God appointed for all of us to show compassion,

  457. to show empathy for those who aren't needing it. Come on, Church,

  458. we need to be a compassion in church. Sabiani, pasorzeki.

  459. Was it yesterday but the other day? Sabinian. If you

  460. are no longer affected, you are no longer effective. If

  461. you are no longer affected, let me just go a

  462. little bit further with this. If you are no longer affected,

  463. you are no longer an affective follower of Jesus Christ.

  464. If you are no longer moved with compassion, with God's compassions,

  465. you know what, you are no longer following Jesus Christ.

  466. There's a story in the Bible when he when Jesus

  467. got off the boat Sabon, he was moved by compassion,

  468. just a couple of hours ago he learned. Then you

  469. can jumpins and say John the Baptist was beheaded. Can

  470. you imagine the emotions that he was going through. A

  471. couple of hours ago he fed, administered the five thousand

  472. people or more, and then he went on a trip

  473. down a lake. It was a stormy trip, but stead

  474. when he got off the boat, when he saw the people,

  475. sabin Jesus like sheep without a shepherd. They were herah,

  476. they were in need. What happened Jesus was moved with compassion.

  477. I believe that's just a story of what Jesus really

  478. did on the cross for us. You know, he could

  479. have stayed in heaven all the while, say, Bylija, we

  480. would just create another set of human beings. I will

  481. follow us, I will obey us. But you know, he

  482. loved us so much that he was moved with compassion.

  483. He came from heaven to earth, he suffered, He died

  484. just for you because he loved you so much. And

  485. he wasn't just saying it, he was showing it. He

  486. loved us so much that he showed it to us

  487. on that cross. That's why there is the passion of

  488. the cross. He was so moved with compassion in this crisis.

  489. This is a great opportunity. So don't waste this opportunity

  490. for are Canabago business. But don't waste this opportunity. Don't

  491. waste this christis to show your compassion to people, those

  492. who are needing your empathy, your compassion, those who are

  493. needing faith, hope and love. Right now. Don't waste this

  494. crisis by just worrying about yourself, about your family, about

  495. your business. Be moved by compassion. ABBITI Jesus, love your

  496. neighbor as you love yourself. Abia, be the hands and feet,

  497. be my hands, being my feet. That's what the church

  498. is all about. It's not a club that we're saying

  499. where we saying and we hate together. It's not just

  500. a community of us. You know, this community has a mission.

  501. This community is on a mission. This community is out

  502. to show compassion, to show empathy, to show the love

  503. of the loving kindness of Jesus Christ. Saba is a

  504. Bible John and then that he came to bring life

  505. and life to the fullest. Sababa is a Bible that

  506. he came to set the captives free. Saab is a

  507. Bible that Jesus came to save the world. That's why

  508. he built, He established his church, to be his hands,

  509. to be his feet, to do what he came to do.

  510. It's time that we stand up show our compassion. It's

  511. not about the words that we speak. It's not about

  512. the songs that we sing. It's about the compassion that

  513. we show. It's about the actions that we show. People

  514. policy Silas was showing how kind and gracious God is

  515. in their lives. They weren't just singing, they weren't just praying,

  516. but they were actually doing something. Can you imagine if

  517. zy politis Idists were immature in their faith, they wouldn't

  518. even think twice to leave their jail cell. Right like

  519. most Christians nowadays, the first thing that uh they let

  520. go was Jesus was God. The very first thing that

  521. they let go to the pandemic was obeying God. Paul

  522. say Silas. They looked at the jailer and showed compassion.

  523. As the jailer experience firsthand, this compassion, this love, this hope,

  524. this faith, this grace. He asked, what mask what must

  525. I do to be saved? The good thing about fallen

  526. silence is that allen silence gave him the most simplest

  527. of answers to faith in illegal up in Jay Celler,

  528. yes said I'll be all right more. Labama was a

  529. life class Cat was a school of videos one, two

  530. and three. Clan Mom not be guying amount of money,

  531. clam give you mount and every Sunday so that you

  532. can be saved. I don't see I be Napauland in

  533. Silas sab is a verse thirty one. Let's go back

  534. to that verse. They replied, believe in the Lord Jesus

  535. and you will be saved. I said, you lie. What

  536. does that mean? Sabi Paul and Siles. Just say yes

  537. to Jesus Christ. That's it. Did not They did not

  538. make Christianity complex. Indeed, get a one complicated should I'll

  539. be all right, do this, do that? All right? Here's

  540. a set of rules. Don't get to have them go

  541. in one thousand of commandments. I don't be Nipaul, just believe.

  542. Just say yes to Jesus Christ. You know nowadays, Christians

  543. today made it so hard for other followers to follow

  544. Jesus Christ and rapa alomon. It's a simpling helng p

  545. impa or you need to use these words. If you're

  546. going to use these words, then you're not you say,

  547. or you're not giving out the right gospel of Jesus Christ.

  548. Grabbe Adminamon, you're saying it wrong. You need to say

  549. it like I do. You know life is already complicated, amen,

  550. life is already hard. But you know following Jesus it's

  551. so simple. So I don't just believe in Jesus Christ.

  552. That's it. Just put your faith. I'll hear it. No,

  553. no trusting God, right, trust all right? M again, King

  554. James version, Come on, a people are saying you're not

  555. saying why because he did not hear the right gasp,

  556. because your pastor is not using the right words the

  557. right meaning. Because it's not because in this at top

  558. of some Bible school, or you're not saying you're following

  559. a false teacher. Come on, let's not make it hard.

  560. It's so simple. Paul himself, what are the top teachers

  561. of the law in his days following Jesus Christ. When

  562. the jailer asks what must we do? Just believe and

  563. you will be saved a jailor what you lave. It's

  564. that easy. I don't need to pay anything. I don't

  565. need I don't need to go in the streets, sabab Paul, No,

  566. it's that easy. Just believe, just put your trust in

  567. Jesus Christ in jailor be tous a mahabit Bahjiko. The

  568. jailer invited Paul and Silas to this house. Do you

  569. know what happened? The whole house were baptized and we're saved.

  570. Maybe you're here for the first time, maybe the second time.

  571. Get let me encourage you today that if you just

  572. put your trust in Jesus, that if you just believe

  573. in him, that if you just put your life in

  574. him and follow him and obey him and your household,

  575. you and your household will be saved. Jesus doesn't just

  576. want to save you. He wants your family. He wants

  577. to save your whole neighborhood. He wants to save your children,

  578. your future children, your children's children, and the next generation.

  579. That's how much Jesus loves you. That is a promise

  580. from God. That verse thirty three. It's continue to read.

  581. At that hour of the night, the jailer took them

  582. and washed their woes. Then immediately he and all his

  583. household were baptized. Could you please hable in the comments section.

  584. Right now, it's a bit more baptized or what does

  585. that mean? Baptized? What is baptist means? Baptism is a

  586. public declaration of an inward confession that if he's say

  587. that I'm going to follow Jesus Christ, you need to

  588. show it again. It's not about your words, it's about

  589. your actions. What is I mean? The old Jew is

  590. gone and the new the new you was come. It's

  591. a declaration Bagunajo, from now on, I'm going to follow

  592. Jesus Christ. That's what baptism is all about. Maybe right

  593. now we're not doing this yet because of this pandemic,

  594. but sooner or later, you know, so simm Putamaram Lorine

  595. Patayan Covid. Maybe one of these days we can do this.

  596. That if you just believe in Jesus Christ and just

  597. declare that I will be I want to be baptized.

  598. I want to declare to the whole world I'm going

  599. to follow Jesus Christ from this day on. We will

  600. do it for you, because that's what the Bible is saying.

  601. Believe and be baptized. Amen. What does baptism really means, you, Puka.

  602. It's a symbolism of you dying to yourself, and I

  603. see as your pastor, as your leader, raise you up

  604. from the water. It means it's denaration. The old me

  605. has gone and this is the new me. I'm going

  606. to follow Jesus Christ. Amen Haudly, that's the greatest miracle.

  607. It's not the earthquake. It's not the prison doors flinging open.

  608. It's not the change out of earth with the tear

  609. up the tear down. It's not that. That's not the

  610. greatest miracle of this story. It's not even the freedom

  611. of the prisoners. But you know what, the greatest miracle

  612. of this story is the seal of this one jaire man.

  613. What does that mean. It's not about your blessings. It's

  614. not about your comfort. It's not about your promotion. It's

  615. not about new client deals after a new client deals.

  616. It's not about you. It's about someone getting saved. That

  617. is the greatest miracle God is showing us in this story.

  618. And I believe that is the greatest miracle. That God

  619. wants to work through you, not just selling you, but

  620. through you. God wants to save somebody through your blessings,

  621. through your comfort, through your promotions, through your new client deals.

  622. Come on, your blessings, your comfort, your promotions, your new

  623. clients are all wordless if nobody else is getting saved

  624. by it. Come on, let me ask you this question. Yes,

  625. you've been blessed. You you know you're blessed right now,

  626. had this blessing? Me Let me ask you, is somebody

  627. being saved because of your blessing? Come on, yeah, Comport

  628. Public Alliance. Hallelujah, because HAPA saved Upka, because maybe God

  629. gets bless you with this wisdom the during before the pandemic,

  630. HAPA saved Dupka. Right now you're living uncomfortable life. But

  631. let me ask you, is somebody else being saved because

  632. of your comfort? Maybe during this this this pandemic? Bagum

  633. business more hallelujah, praise God. Well, let me ask you

  634. number of bagum business? Moro bang bagum bago? Come on?

  635. What are the miracles you are praying for? You were

  636. praising for during this pandemic? It was a policy silas.

  637. They weren't praying and they weren't praising for results. But

  638. you know what they were praying and praising for a reason.

  639. What is that reason? For the goodness and the grace

  640. and the love and the hope of Jesus Christ Imaan.

  641. That's what they were praying and praising for because they

  642. know that God is good, that God is great, that

  643. God's faithfulness is great, and it's always there. It never changes.

  644. God's promise is always there. That's why Paul and Silas

  645. was praising. They were praising and worshiping. They were praying

  646. in the midnight hour. A lot of people were listening.

  647. Here it comes to earthquake. Door open, the chains were broken,

  648. they were free, they stay, They still worship. This will

  649. pray you. Jailor was about to kill himself because well

  650. I know, Yamana prisoners, don't kill yourself. Everybody's here. And

  651. then the jailor he came, don't he pola is Silahs

  652. emotional and all maybe thinking you you're still here. What

  653. must I do to be saved? Sabinipoul Missilahs, just believe

  654. in you and your household will be saved. Here's the miracle.

  655. Go back to that verse. I think it was verse

  656. thirty six, the last verse that we were Saban have

  657. it on and they spoke the word of the Lord

  658. to him and all the others in his house at

  659. that hour of the night. The jailor took them and

  660. washed their wounds, and immediately he and all his households

  661. were baptized. The jailer brought them into his house and

  662. set a meal before them. The jailer was washing their wounds,

  663. they were feeding them food. You know what I loved

  664. about people getting saved. The best thing about salvation is

  665. in joy of salvation. Could you please start in the

  666. comments section right now? The joy of salvation. That's the

  667. best thing about following Jesus Christ, having the joy of salvation.

  683. been going through the motions right now, the emotions of

  684. being a Christian. Yeah, maybe you're serving trying to serve God.

  685. You know, you're not serving the church. You're not just

  686. serving the building, you're not serving the live stream, you

  687. are serving the people. Maybe you're just you're just been

  688. going through the motion of being a Christian. You don't

  689. want to serve anymore. I don't want to follow Jesus anymore.

  690. I don't want to do discipleship anymore. I don't want

  691. to give no more. I don't want to help no more.

  692. You know what you need right now? You need the

  693. You need the faith of the jailer today. You need

  694. a new salvation right now. Maybe you say I don't

  695. want to serve. I'm worried about about myself, about my family,

  703. again that Jesus died across for your sins. You were

  704. once dead and now you're alive again. You need to

  705. be remembered. You need to remember once again that you

  706. were blind and now Jesus opened your eyes. You were lost,

  707. now you are found. Just thinking about you know, just

  708. thinking about how God rescued me from a life of

  709. brokenness a few years ago. Just waiting for God to

  710. get me is a boy God? Right now, I want

  711. to do anything else? Who is just laying down doing

  712. some Amaho about to die, wishing that I'm going to die,

  713. wishing that I want to die broken in pain. You

  714. know what God did for me, did not think twice.

  715. He pulled me out And now I'm living a life

  716. filled with state, filled with hope, and filled with love.

  717. And you know, just thinking about that, it makes me

  718. want to serve God more and more and more. And

  719. no matter what circumstances I'm facing right now, You're not

  720. the only one who's going to problems. You're not the

  721. only one who was worrying about your family, about yourself,

  722. about your business, about everything in this world. You're not

  723. the only one. I'm going through it as well. But

  724. you know what, because of what Jesus has done in me,

  725. what Jesus has done in my life, I'm not going

  726. to think twice to stand up here and say to

  727. you that Jesus loves you. I'm not going to think

  728. wise and let you feel that God loves you so

  729. much water no matter the circumstances that I am that

  730. I meant, I'm going to serve God, he'd be right now.

  731. You're stuck in yourself. Right now, you're stop doing a problem, Amon,

  732. you can't see passed through it.

  733. You know what you need right now?

  734. You need to ask God to restore the joy of

  735. your salvation. You need to ask God, Iquard, let me

  736. go back to the beginning. Let me go back to

  737. the first moment that I met you. Let me feel

  738. once again this joy that I thought when I first

  739. met you. Ask God to restore the joy of your salvation.

  740. You won't say and pray like Paul exilence Dad in

  741. the jais you won't serve in like the jail who

  742. just got served. The only way that you will get

  743. through this is with Jesus Christ. You've lost your joy

  744. of God salvation to day. This day we dedicate your

  745. life to Jesus Christ. Just say, the Lord restore unto

  746. me the joy of my salvation.

  747. And we knew the right spirit, the spirit to obey you,

  748. the spirit to serve you, the spirit to.

  749. Show my compassion to everyone, the spirit that will get

  750. me through my worries and my problem. So I will

  751. end with this verse. You're feeling weak right now. Maybe

  752. you're feeling the guilt right now, But let me tell

  753. you this. He said, my grace is sufficient for you,

  754. for my power is made was made perfect in your witnesses.

  755. If you felt weak right now, put your faith in

  756. Jesus reddicate your life once again. I'm talking to you

  757. right now. For those life group leaders, let me let

  758. go stop following Jesus, stop serving Jesus because of the words,

  759. because of the problems. I know how a monk God

  760. it's going to give back that is sake. Follow me

  761. once again. You won't get through this alone. You need me.

  762. Jesus is saying you need me. You need Jesus right now,

  763. maybe for this pandemic for eight months. Maybe let go.

  764. You start following up following he stopped serving, he stop caring,

  765. he stop loving, you, stop being in compassionate, trying to edicate.

  766. We educate your life in Jesus. Right now, as we

  767. say this declaring do, I'm putting my faith in here.

  768. I'm putting my faith in your doing.

  769. God has never let you down. He has saved you.

  770. He said that if he did that his faithful.

  771. So in the midst of this pandemic, in the mids

  772. of your crisis, your problems, right now, God is telling

  773. you go back, remember how I saved you. I have

  774. never let you down, and I will never start. Now.

  775. I am your anchor. Put your life in me. Not

  776. in your house, not in your family, not even in

  777. your community, not in your business. But put your life

  778. in me right now. This is how you will get

  779. through this one. As we declare it once again, would

  780. I put by face, she says by to Buda. You know,

  781. come on, I put my faith. Disease paid. I wanted
