Influence The World - With Pastor Maximilian

Thanks for checking out the Anchor Faith Message podcast

from St. Augustine, FL.

Now enjoy this message. Aren't you glad you're here

tonight? Man, I'm glad you're here.

We have a treat. So you know Pastor Marcy and I

last May, and Chase went with us.

He was a creative team that went to help document, but we were

invited to Poland, Steve and Pam Spears, who are our missionaries

to Poland. They had invited us to come to a

pastor's conference. It's the first one they have

done there. It wasn't a Raima event, it was

a Steve and Pam Spears ministry event, but it was there so they

could introduce them to the Bible school.

And so apparently in their time there, they they heard that

there's some things that needed to be imparted into the pastors.

And so they invited us and we took some time to minister there

and we met this lovely couple right here in Poland and it was

awesome. We actually went across the

street ate what are those things called?

Pierogies. Pierogies together, not only,

right? Not only, but we had a great

time and the history that Pastor Maximilia has in Poland was

amazing. I mean, I mean, if if you know

somebody, he knows them. I mean, I'm, I'm, I'm finding

out how much he knows and who he knows and how God's got him in

places. It's amazing.

And so he had called and we were talking a little bit and he's

like, hey, I'm coming to Florida.

He actually was talked to me back in December and I'm like,

December's not going to be great for us.

So he said I'm coming in May. I said, well in May, let's do

something. And so they've come through and

he's going to minister tonight. Amen.

So would you give a Warm Acre faith welcome to Pastor

Maximilian? I'm going to have him give you

his history. He has started multiple

churches, but I think he explains it way better than I

will. And so he's going to share about

himself. His wife Silva's here as well.

And so if y'all want to come up and then we'll have your wife

sit back down, Maybe she wants to preach a little bit before

you get started. Hallelujah.

Wow, that is amazing. Sylvia, you want to say

something? It's a a pleasure for me to be

here and to send greetings from Poland.

Maybe not all people knows where where Poland exists.

But anyhow we are the people about 39,000,009 million.

Yeah. So and we have in, we are in in

the middle of of Europe. And I would like to say that for

us personally, it's a special time because we yesterday had

our 47th anniversary of of our marriage.

Yes. So I would like to say what is

in my heart, first decision, the most important in my life.

It was when I chose Jesus to be in my to be my Lord and my

Saviour. So we both were saved when we

meet together. But during lives, you know, we

make different choices, but it's very important when we make

choices together with Jesus. So we could have success as a

marriage and also in our life because always we make choices

with Jesus. Amen.

Thank you, Sylvia. That's it.

You know, when she say that I just come back to my memory in a

day when I meet with her and ask her, are you marrying me?

You know, I was the time in Bible school in seminar and I

have three friends. We stay together in same room.

The only four men Bible school. That time in Poland it's a

communist time, it's only woman, woman don't go to any Bible

school. But you know before I go because

it is for me very important decision.

I'm very successful in the Bible school.

I'm doing very good and they choose me to go, you know, to

continue my education in England or Brazil, Brazil in Slavic

people in England, you know, in English and so, but they have

two condition you needed to be married or you needed to be

total alone, not anything to engage.

I didn't tell her that, but they asked my friends.

We pray one hour before I went to meet her and we have

agreement. You pray as long I come back.

It's not mobile from the time you know we don't able to

communicate. It's taken like 5 hours.

When I come back and they pray, they continue pray on his knees,

you know to help me. But I come back with very right

and good decision. She say yes, I marry you, but

after one year, no more in that time, in a Bible school in

education for that they have a break.

OK, yes, but then she's right with all decision made together

with Jesus. And when you know Jesus, when

you know he's able to help you in all kinds of your decision,

you always be succeeded. You always win.

Of course, for different people, winning is a different things.

People, you know, they think they win when they get what

they're looking for in the shop or some like that.

But if you do, with Jesus, of course in a shop too, Jesus help

you. But if you trust on him, if you

put your life on him, you really win.

Even if you die, you win. You know, if we go to Gospel of

John chapter 18, verse 36 and 3037, you know it's the very

John 18:36

good conversation what Jesus have with Pilatus, You know, the

talk they accuse him. He is like, you know, he was

investigated that time and Plato says some things about it.

You see the word, you read it. I don't need to read for you.

But you know what is very important in that, you know,

passage Jesus say one very important things.

My Kingdom is not from that word.

Now this is very important for us to knowing that when Jesus is

present life, when he walk on the air, he enter another

Kingdom. His Kingdom is not there.

You know place in Jerusalem or any another place where he walk

and do these miracles and great things He is passing through.

He prepare to build his Kingdom. And this is very important to

understand that when we believe to extend our faith in the base

on the faith. Because when you be born again,

I hope everyone you born again already.

If not, you better do the decision today.

The soon is better like late. With that decision, you know

when I get safe the first my reaction is why is so late.

But by the way, I would like to tell you I get safe in first

meeting in the church I grow up in at East home.

My father was politic officer in communist army.

No church, no God, nothing like that.

I don't attended any church before.

I show up first time in a church and in that meetings I get safe.

And my first reaction is why is so late Better now, like later.

Just take that when we end up born again, we need to

understand what start to happen with us.

Because you be never same again if you stay with Jesus.

When you stay with Jesus, you be never same again like you

before. And I tell you one thing, if you

continue, the coming days are better like passing day, because

of him, because of his Kingdom. I would like to just to mark

that in the beginning just to to make focus for you how it's

important to understand the Kingdom rules.

When Jesus was there, his Kingdom is in heaven.

And now he fulfilled everything. He fulfilled everything.

And he have us here to represent his Kingdom in a place where we

are living. Amen.

This is very important. You don't, you know, think about

who are you when you look to the mirror in the morning.

This is one story. The another story you need to

know who are you according to the word of God.

You didn't understand that it's only you know with Jesus the

only one Kingdom what Jesus create the old citizenship

people belong to the Kingdom and to the parenthood of King.

Hallelujah. You are a king child.

You belong to him not only to say I belong to some things, you

represent him. They represent Jesus Christ in

the area. It's also concerned, you know,

you needed to demonstrate his gospel, his power, his life,

because. He.

Died for that. He paid the highest price for

that to help you to bond you to that way, to create you, to be

good ambassador of Jesus Christ in a place where are you living?

And I tell you guys one things. If you ask me for last month

what really impressed me. I tell you what impressed me

Liri your place your work. You know when we talk little bit

you know I I hear what he share you know your pastor share for

the pastor for students in that conference what he was visit

Poland. And I have two things.

You know I in my mind the number one is the should be more

pastors. Listen that this is #1 and #2.

I need to go to sea. I honest I need to go to sea

because he say great things about you guys.

He really promote you and I driving there I go, I I can't

you know I'm in a way here and I always thinking I want to see it

because you know you hear many things from the people you have

different imagination for that. But it's also you have desire to

see if it's proof. Guys you are a proof they make

me really impressed. I walk with your pastor through

the all that area around and I think like that Father God was I

able to tell to that people if they then done the things what

is I see around. Was I able to tell them thank

you, thank you to give me chance to see it.

Thank you to give me chance to knowing you people to be with

you. I'm really blessed.

I'm really blessed already and you know, but everything is base

of some things, you know If you want to base your life and to be

good ambassador and to be fruit, produce a faithful one in the

Kingdom of God, what you blank already to.

You needed to base every things on the word of God.

I remember, you know, when I'm already pastoring 8 years in

Poland, I already pastoring 8 years in Portland.

I already planned that time, I think to three churches already

planned for four. And I received first book from

Kenneth Hagin about authority of believers about you know wrong

and the right weight of thinking and everything says the base on

the word and we needed to base our life to solid put our life

on the word of God the best. What are you doing to keep your

life on the word of God. It's not another way to keep

your life on the word of God. Like to reading the word of God.

Like to memorizing the word of God, to make impact to your

life, to be your life a really change.

Because born again is one things come to be citizen, you know in

the Kingdom of God it's one things.

But to function in and growing up and do something you need it.

Word of God you get saved by free it cost you nothing.

Nothing completely nothing about the way you receive something in

the day. No, you don't give something you

receive. Like if you look look at me did

you imagine I don't able to speak proper.

I want to be army officer too. I went to the school but it

dropped me out because I not able.

Proper speak and proper make you know anything in order in army

because I'm stuttering. I'm stuttering.

Before I say something like pastor, it's like that.

And they increase and they keep me out.

But in a day when I get safe, I get completely healed

completely. I have documents like that, not

possible. This day I get healed, but I

don't know anything about the church.

Nothing about the church, nothing about the word of God.

Honestly, I don't even make attention too much for the

preaching first to session. I get saying the first one, but

I know one things after that. God it's really exists.

I don't know who are you, but you exist and you have a power.

You have authority and you know when you're stuttering you put

your life to some things. I read in books, lot of books,

you know, hundreds of 100 books, but nothing about God.

It's in a book sometimes dimension, sometimes God and saw

some religious things, but I read more, you know, communist

books and some like that. You know, history books,

architecture books and so. But that day I decide on things,

I go to read his words. I put my life to his word.

I based on his word. I know who is he, I know the

power, what he have and I go to know him by his word.

I make you little challenge for you today, you know, little

challenge. I don't ask you who read all

Bible already one time at least to don't embarrass someone and

maybe you know, but maybe not. But about the way sometimes I

ask, you know, in some churches and then you know half people

don't read all Bible yet. But you know, I decide to read

my Bible. I say my in the beginning I get

4 gospel. It's not possible to get word of

God in Poland. I don't have my own Bible in the

beginning. Next I get New Testament.

Next I borrow from some people or Bible.

But I told you one thing during 410 months.

During first ten months I read 6 times New Testament and two time

old ten months. Hello, it's a challenge for you.

Built your life on the word of God because when the time coming

you need it, you get it. You know the Bible says in

Second Timothy three chapter 3, verse 16 and 17, The Word of

God. It says his birth is importation

for you. When you read it, you're

receiving, you have meeting with God.

If you really put your life on him and you submit to him, you

feel during reading that his birth.

You feel that and your life be changed because the word of God

like it says there. Verse 16 and verse 17, it's a

good for your life, for everything, to prepare you and

me, everyone who take it the word of God to the good work.

If we think about me and you for the good work for the Kingdom of

God, you know by the way if you think about the word of God, of

course in many situation in everyday life, many times we

don't need it. You know, for clean something,

do something like like like that.

But you needed to know that it's coming situation when you really

need it. You needed to remember the word

of God. You need to remember what the

word of God say to your life for such a situation.

What you right now with what you face now you know when we think

about Holy Ghost, you know when Jesus prepared his disciple and

informed them, hey guys, I go to heaven, I go to my Father.

The first reaction of the people is no, no, no, no.

You're not able to go. Who provide us with everything

is what we need. Who do the great miracles, who

feed us, who be with us. They say no, no, no, you don't

go. But Jesus says so in Gospel of

John chapter 14, verse 15 and 16.

John 14:15

It's a very, very important word of God to make, you know, really

impact your life, to put you in a challenge.

Because sometimes I meet people say, oh, I'm lost because in

that situation, no, any doors or is closed, I die.

It's nothing. No, no, no, no, not with Jesus.

Jesus says I sent you Holy Ghost, the conforted, the one,

the one who remembered for you every word I spoke to you and

the people think, yeah, but I don't mean Jesus personally.

He didn't tell me anything. No, no, no.

You able to meet him every day, many times when you base your

life on the word of God, when you really go to the word of God

and you read his word, you take it, you take it, you take it,

you take it, you eat it. When you do like that you be

inspired. You be really, you know make

impart your life to the word of God.

I remember I tell you one story. You know, story sometimes is

very good. I like to you know I have many

stories but some of them you know I remember when during

communist time it's every many thing is forbidden special if

you acting in a supernatural way where they don't understand that

they try to pulling down every Church of the activity every

things you know the communists put you down and down and down.

I remember that story. What I want to tell you is begin

about one situation we drive with the kids to the Sunday

school. We have that in Saturday we have

our kids some another kids in the car.

They stop our car on the road. One police car on the front, one

behind two motorcycle on the side.

They take all my documents that they say to me go follow us to

the police station and I pray and I hear don't go, go to the

church. By the way I have little better

car like they have. I have you know, Volkswagen,

cucumber, if you remember that one.

It's very good in that time, communist time in Poland.

By the way, I have one in all district in Poland.

In that area only one. You know when we go out from the

ferry because we needed used to ferry to go to the church.

After the ferry I just dad follow me now and I say to my

wife Sylvia take the kids and go out to the church.

Our church is not big it's small but in same St.

Face to face the big Catholic Church the always you know

people watching that people is dead around in this case you

know I know that place is good to escape for her and they go to

in you know and the man from police car he Take Me Out you

know by force you do nothing with that with the grant put gun

to my head and say next time use it many bad words next time it's

not big game. You'll be shut down if it's next

time you don't obey and then this happens to be not obey

after you know. I think so more like a year to

take me to a police station. You don't have you know any any

possibility you choose and not you say yes or not you don't

have chance to say I need my lawyer No, no, it's not lawyer

that time for you it's not that time.

It's a different story that take me to police station and that go

through with me to the many iron doors you know and the door

behind you shut iron doors. Now I know that you know take it

me sometimes to same doors few times but in the dark.

And when you you know in a situation like that you don't

recognize that in the beginning and they says, hey listen me now

your wife is already raped by my friends, your Kitty is already

placed in a children's home and you never you never go out from

that room and I start to pray and the God reminds me the word

of God from Romans 8. You remember the passage and I

say, OK, you take everything from my life.

You take out my life, but you're not able even touch Jesus who is

inside me. You remember from Romans 8?

Sorry I didn't give, you know that words.

I didn't plan to say the story. And you know what happens?

He gets furious. He put gun on the side when I

say this because he put gun to my, you know, to my head and I

was in the army. I know where is the bullet in.

And I know what happens if you know and not sometimes where is

bullet in and you have gun in the head.

I'll be honest with you guys. I pee to my pants.

I pee to my pants. But I get words from Jesus and I

say no way, you're not able to touch him even.

And he destroyed his table, his chair, he demolished his room.

He gets furious, like, you know, demonic attack, it's incredible.

Everything is destroyed. For a moment I think like that.

I take the gun and shot him out because gun is on the window

side. You know I know how to do that,

no problem. But you know the Jesus show up

again with his word and he give me prophetic word about that

man. I don't know you know he if he's

married and not, who is he? I don't know that I know he's

wrong. He's captain and you know the

Polish KGB. That's what I know, nothing

else. And the God spoke to me by

prophetic word and they say to him, listen me now, this morning

your wife with two your kids ran away from you because of the

things what are you doing and where you're working.

And she say she never come back. But when we pray, when I pray

for you ask me for prayer, she come back.

You know what happens? All is changed because he know

one things. No one know about it, no one.

It's not mobile phone. He didn't even know if the wife

already arrived because she went to her mother 300 kilometres to

another city. And actually I'm sorry, 750.

I called now from Warsaw. This is in another city happens

and he start to talk with me nice.

He begging me it's true. It's sure OK.

He asked for forgiveness. He give me new parents.

I take shower. He very nice for me.

He drives me back home. We pray to his wife come back,

his wife come back and that it happens.

To make the story short, he resigned from his work, he

escaped from Poland. He come back when communist fell

down. But you know what I want to tell

you with that? It's a time coming in your life

when you really need Jesus. What you really need his words

when you need it, need to be remind for you what he spoke to

you. It is only possible when you

base your life on the word of God.

If you're not what Jesus able to remind you if you don't hear

anything from him. Hello, Because in the modern war

and the modern churches many times people think we don't need

it. We have fun.

We have good. We have good pastors, good

preaching, good stories, good encouraged world.

But tell us every Sunday you are you are a good.

You are a blessed. Jesus is in your sight.

What I needed more. I hear that from people as I

tell you again you needed base your life on the word of God.

Base your life on the word of God.

Read your Bible in daily leather.

Memorize if you can. It's good to memorize word of

God you know in in communist times still in Poland I don't

know if you remember that kinds of you know teaching little bit

around the world. The people think, the believers

think they maybe take it Bible away from us during war in the

time in Cambodia. You know, they think like that

And I start to memorize the Bible verses with the mission

called navigators from the US actually that's what Dafsson

Trotman organization and you know the three years course and

very hard. You need to memorize 700 Bible

verses in 500 places in the Bible.

It's taking big effort. It's taking big big really big

effort you know to to memorize, to know.

But it's value I tell you I see in my life if I look back so

many situation when I need it and I get it.

Even if you don't have your Bible, you know what is written.

You know what is written and you know for what situation you go

to use that to have victory in your life, to win in your life.

I want to tell you one things you know from that story, what I

already finished. It's about, you know, I tell you

what I think. I think I died this day.

I think like that. I think I be gone physically in

my body. I think like that it's not easy.

But I know one things. Because the word of God, I know

nothing separate me from Jesus. I'm alive and I die.

I be with him, I be with him. And I wish you for, I wish you

first don't face situation like that.

But #2, if any situation like that coming, remember about it.

If you granted in Jesus, if you granted in His word, if you

belong to the Kingdom of God, if you his ambassador citizenship,

you be with him forever, you be with him forever.

You know what is important? For us to go for conclusion, to

go for finish. What is important for us to know

which place we are to who we belong, Where we are now.

Oh yes, you know, we say oh we in San Augustine.

It's a good place, a good air conditioned good place, you

know, everything's fine. It's funny preacher from Poland

he say so we didn't like him. It's OK, but you know what?

We needed to know this for our daily life.

Who are you and where are you? This is the most important

things to knowing who are you and where are you?

When you know that, when you know that, you need to know what

is your responsibility for what kinds of assignment you have,

what is your duty, You know what?

It's not any emptiness in the Kingdom of God.

It's not like some some be used, some not everyone.

Jesus want to use in his Kingdom.

Everyone, everyone, everyone. If we say now Jesus want to use

me in his Kingdom, they be true. Let's go say it.

Say to yourself, Jesus want to use me in his Kingdom.

Say it. Don't look on me.

Say it. Because this is true.

When you know who are you to who you belong and what is your

duty, what is your responsibility in the Kingdom of

God? I tell you when I get safe.

I tell you already, I don't know anything about God.

This day, it's a very rain day. I go back to home.

I don't get safe in the hometown and other city.

I need to travel overnight to go back home in the rain, heavy

rain. And this is in Poland.

They call in Europe Science Day, the day they memorize people who

die and the people go to visit, you know, graves.

And so like that they move from one side to another side.

In Poland, in this case, the train station is packed, no

place to even see it. I want to see it.

And I go up to the nice place, you know, in the Gap and I see

all that crowd, like maybe 2000 people.

And I have one desire. Tell them all to all of them,

about Jesus, about God. I know only one thing.

He exists and he have power. I don't know the time.

Anything's more, but I have the desire and thanks God.

The desire still is in my life. The desire still is in my life.

We needed to understand that. We needed to know that.

We needed to stay on it. And you needed to understand

also why. The reason why, because you need

to tell what Jesus did for you. He died for you.

He give his own life, the Bible says about Jesus.

The gods speak to us. He give his beloved Son for one

things, for one reason. To get you safe, to make you

free from condemnation, to redeem you from the hell, to

redeem you from separation with God forever.

He rebuilt this in his. Giving his life for you.

This is very, very important for every one of us to knowing that,

let's go finish with that number one.

If you be born again, you start to be belong to the Kingdom of

God, the Kingdom. If not from that heir, the

Kingdom would Jesus place it on the earth now.

But because he fulfilled it to give it his life to the cross,

but he fulfilled it also, He raised up from the dead, and he

gives chance to you to give your life to him.

He already chosen you. If you hear no money, no matter

how many times you're already there, if you not get safe yet,

it is time for you because he chosen you.

But you need to make decision, step forward for that.

And when you go to base your life on the word of God and you

continue with Jesus, he be baptized in the Holy Ghost.

He be you know, you go through all things.

And I promise you on things you'll be never, never same

again. Like today.

You'll be equipped, You'll be take care of.

You'll be blessed. You're growing up, You'll be

faithful. You'll be used in the Kingdom of

God. Marvelous way to bring people to

Jesus. Jesus able to use everyone of

you but the beginning is with dedicate your life to Jesus.
