Go and Do - Kingdom Mission

Thanks for checking out the Anchor Faith Message podcast

from St. Augustine, FL.

Now enjoy this message. Hallelujah.

Now listen, we've got a big video for Sunday, so it's just

another little teaser. I know that y'all have seen it

through a social media, but just want to remind you, so good to

be home first and foremost, You know, you know you're on

assignment because even though there's things you experience,

nothing's like home. And so we knew we were on

assignment. It was an extended trip

obviously, but you know, it was profitables.

And again on Sunday we're going to have a bigger video.

You know, we were on 16 flights. I did.

I personally did 37 hours of teaching in that three-week

period and so and then all kind of other testimonies.

So tonight, you know, we wanted to give a oral report of some

things that happened 'cause obviously people are serving,

you know, so we just start the process obviously and want to be

able to let everybody in on, you know what you what you were

participated with us to do. And then I'm going to minister a

little bit later tonight as well.

Amen. All right, Pastor Marcy's going

to kick it off. Hello.

I love you all very much. So good to see all your faces.

We've missed you so much and have determined 21 days will not

be in it for me any longer. So but we are just so thankful

to be back here and we're so thankful for the opportunity and

the honor actually to go and do what God has LED us to do in all

of these different areas. And you know, I just believe

that the seed that was planted is the seed of the Kingdom and

when it gets into the yeast, Amen, it will just continue to

expand and grow everywhere we planted those seeds.

It was very interesting because there were places that we

obviously went that were set up from Volley, who is from Greece

and Albania, and had connections with groups of people.

But you know, one of the things that I know that just, you know,

really stood out to me was that we here have it good.

We have it good. We have the rich word of God and

we have places like this, houses of worship like this one.

We're not the only one, but like this one that are just, you

know, all over the place, all over this nation.

And what we have is something amazing.

And when you go into these other countries like Italy, for

instance, in Austie and Italy, you see this, the need so much

of A church that's spirit filled and life giving and has the full

counsel of the word because it's still up underneath such a

religious stronghold. And they don't have churches

like these. They don't, you know.

And so just to still believe and see that this is still happening

around the world where you know our nation is so blessed with so

many good churches and and you go to these places and they're

not. They don't have them.

And if they do, they're, you know, 50 people in in the midst

of millions and they need solid, good word, spirit filled

churches still, especially, you know, for this generation, for

this generation and the foundation that we have as

believers, they don't have those foundations within their lives.

They don't. And it just, it overwhelms me

still to think that in the year that we're living, they don't

have what we have and it's So what was it, you know, the

Sally's when they came from France and shared the percentage

of. 2% In France it's only 3% that are Christians, in Italy,

3% of the whole population. So 97% or not?

And it was very real. Very real.

And so you sending us, I just know that the seed that was sown

for those that are hungry, that it can continue to grow within

them and God can use, we know that God can use that seed.

Amen. If people are hungry and will

cultivate the seed. And so that's what we're

believing, that they'll cultivate the seed that was sown

so that God can do a work because it is so needed.

But God is faithful to perform His word.

You know, when we went to Italy and began to minister to the

group of people there, the Lord had us lay hands.

And you could see in that video that guy, his knee, he had

broken his knee and he couldn't, he could walk on it, but he

couldn't, you know, extend it and open it.

And the minute I laid hands on his knee, I heard a pop.

And then you saw in that video we just said, now move your

knee, you know, he said the pain was gone.

And I said, well, then move your knee.

And so that's when you saw him kicking his knee.

So God did some amazing things with those types of things as we

began to minister to people. We had a young girl filled with

the Holy Ghost. But just, you know, I think what

was really important was the fact that when he went to teach

in the Bible schools and we got to miss visit with the pastors

there, just strengthening the pastors is another major thing

that we were able to do while we were there.

And then, you know, them receiving just that fellowship

that we were able to have with them was so needed and they were

so thankful for it as well. But there's many other things

I'm going to let other people share.

OK. We're still, there's a little

flip. You know, we didn't get in till

what we had a 22 hour flight yesterday and so it's starting

to kick back in right now. We'll let you be seated then,

yeah. I mean, I want you to fall

asleep on the stage. So if my wife falls asleep

during my preaching tonight, you know it's not 'cause I'm boring.

Yeah, we were on. We started our day yesterday and

we were 22 hours in by the time we our head hit the pillow.

But our flight was only 11 hours.

And then we had another three one.

So the flights themselves weren't long.

It's just when you get up to get to the airport, all that stuff,

right? OK, Clyde, I'm going to let you

go next. That way Trevor can clean up

anything that we don't say. I don't know how Pastor gets up

here every week because it's so nerve wrecking standing in front

of everybody, but it truly was an honor to be there.

Like Pastor Marcy said, these people are people that have

never heard about Jesus and the Word and they have no guidance.

So for that reason for me it was overwhelming.

I I felt like we were going to one spot and you feel like you

overcome and then you go to another spot and the

overwhelming feeling comes back on again.

But it we really are impacting the world.

I mean influencing the world. If we count all the airports,

how many? How many countries did we go to?

Probably 5 countries. But but yeah, they they these

people need us. They absolutely need us.

And I'm I'm so grateful that I got to be a part of it.

In Austi, I felt LED and I told Pastor Earl that felt led to

share my testimony. For some of you that don't know,

I'm from Albania and I grew up Muslim.

So in a lot of these people don't have that relationship

with God. They have religion.

And so when I growing up in a Muslim home, that's all that it

was. It was just a tradition and not

really a relationship with God. And so I felt the need to kind

of give that testimony to them and I pray that it did impact

them. And then again in Albania,

Pastor Marcy did a women's conference.

And last minute, and my aunt, actually, I had coffee with her

and I said, hey, are you working tomorrow?

And she said, I'm not. And I said, well, we're going to

women's conference, do you want to come?

And she said yeah. And so she ended up coming with

us and got saved. I mean, and not not only did she

get saved, but God confirmed to her who he really was.

He had a she had a word from another person in the in the

service. And she had never been to this

church before, like didn't even know any of these people.

And this lady comes up to me and I think her name was Martha.

You said she come up to me and she said, hey, I don't know your

aunt, but I just feel like God really wants me to share this

with her and I'm like please do like, you know, go share with

her. And Long story short, my aunt or

as Brandon says, long story long or she.

She said my aunt had gotten in the car accident.

A van literally ran over her and not one injury.

And the lady went up to her. Yeah, about four years ago.

And the lady went up to her and said, hey, I just wanted to tell

you that I had this vision of you getting ran over or having

this accident. And God wanted me to tell you

that the same God that protected you is the same one you received

today. I mean, I told Trevor, if that

is all that we invested for that reason, if that is the only

reason why we invested in this trip, to me that is 100% worth

it. So bring it on.

When is the next one? All right, Trevor, That's great.

Yes. As Clyde said, it's very

difficult to be up here. So I'll bring the mic closer.

So one of the things that I do want to brag on is our pastors.

I mean glory be to God right. However the amount of hours and

time that that our pastors spoke.

Pastor Earl, I mean he he towed the the lion there but and he

taught the same subject many times.

But I I kept telling him, Pastor you I I'm trying to follow but

you keep going to different directions.

He never spoke the same message about the same subject one time.

It's amazing and and one of the reasons it's so easy for him to

do it besides the anointing, is because the word is so sound.

He's speaking the word that's very sound.

And the the scripture that came up to me, it was in Matthew.

And correct me if I'm wrong, but it talks about taste and see,

the Lord is good. Pastor Mike, what's that?

OK, whatever. Anyway, yeah, I missed.

It we were in Matthew a lot though, well.

There's one. There's 1:00 somewhere in there

that that says taste and see. And so it it reminded me when I

was a kid of going up to into my grandmother's house and being

hungry and you smelt the goodness of the food that was on

the table and you got hungry. Even if you weren't hungry, you

would get hungry just from smelling it.

And we experienced that all through our travels this last

three weeks. But they got, yeah, we have to

suck in, but you know we were at Cypress and we and I don't want

to get into too much detail on what you want to.

Share on today, You can tell. But pastor started speaking.

We had 41 people on the first night and it was like you got a

taste of it. You started smelling the

goodness of the salt and and just a sound word that he was

preaching and the next night it jumped up to 66 people and then

the next night up to 78 people and you felt that revival wants

to get started in a place like this.

It it was pretty. It was, it was, it was a

tangible feeling of things that were taking place in that

region. How it just like God is really

wanting to to move in that place.

You know, that's been had so much oppression throughout the

years and so much, you know, demonic activity holding, you

know, bringing its own oppression over the people and

God just wants to set people free And and the word that we

hear every Sunday and Wednesday here is so free to us and so

common to some level, which you know is is great in one sense as

long as we don't count it as common.

But the people there were seeing and tasting something that that

got them so hungry and so stirred that they just wanted to

keep coming. And we we had you know, signs

and wonders, you know, miracles happening with the guy with the

knee. There was lots of people that

got their hand, that got hands laid on them.

They raised their hand, said they were healed.

But it was it was an amazing trip and you know, it was just

an honor that we could be there and participate and.

Share about Kaidah's uncle you went and prayed for.

Was it the uncle the Yeah, yeah, yeah, it.

Was so I get a phone call on the way to Albania and it was

actually my dad, he said. Hey, I'm, I'm giving you this.

I gave somebody your number and they're going to call you.

And so I was like, OK, so this Albanian guy that lives in

Jacksonville calls me and he said, hey, my, my dad is

neighbors with your aunt in Albania, where my dad lives.

Yes, everybody knows everybody. And if you don't know everybody,

somebody, somebody knows somebody.

So he said, you know, he has pancreatic cancer.

And because Trevor works in that field, they wanted us to

medically go look at his blood work and his records and just

kind of see what Trevor thought his outcome would be.

But we have a better doctor. So we didn't tell him what we

were doing. But we, you know, Trevor and I

agreed that when we were going to go over there, we were going

to, you know, pray for for him. And so anyway, we go, we go

there. And honestly, Albania, I feel

like it happened so quickly, so I don't even know that we were

going to have time to meet with him.

But praise God, it worked out perfectly.

So we did. We went to his house.

And I always get nervous when I talk to Albanians about Jesus

because it's such a foreign concept to them.

But I'm thankful I had Trevor there with me.

He helped a lot with that. But anyway, so he's like, all

right, I'm, you're going to translate, and I'm just going to

tell you what to say. And so we did.

We asked them if they wanted to be saved, and he did.

So we let him, you know? And then.

And then we oh, yeah. And then his wife was on the

other couch feeling very, very uncomfortable.

She's like, I don't know what's happening.

She's like, hey, you're supposed to come here to look at his

blood work. And you're here, like, talking

about Jesus, what is happening? So, so they both, we all four of

us, held hands and they both believed and got saved.

And then we prayed for him. And I, you know, I believe that

not only God saved him, but I told Trevor this.

I want the whole neighbourhood to know that God was there.

So I'm like, Lord, give him a vision, show him that that was

you. And it's not just us going there

to pray for him. So that's what I'm believing and

I hope that you guys can get in faith.

That's what's going to happen. So, Amen.

Joe, hand me my phone right there, if you would.

Yeah, if I wasn't going to Albania after Cyprus, I would

have stayed. It's probably the only meeting,

literally, and I preach here, it is the only meeting that I've

been to that I sensed A tangible revival, that instead of it

decreasing each night, it increased.

And the only negative of our timing to Cyprus was that

because we were doing the school on the weekend, I could not do a

weekend meeting. So in Austie we did a weekend

meeting. We did Friday night, Saturday

night and a Sunday morning and it was a challenge in and of

itself because not only was someone interpreting in Albania,

but then someone's also interpreting in Italian.

So there's this double delay happening, English, Albania.

Then you have to wait for those that are here in the Albania to

translate the Italian. Long story short, we go back

there, we'll have to change that system.

But, you know, I mean, things happen, don't get me wrong, but

it was a little different environment.

And before we left, a guy said, I have one question.

He says, what are we going to, what are you going to do now?

Are you never going to come back now that we've heard this?

I said, well starts with the book.

I left him a whole bunch of the forests.

I said, y'all need to come together and meet and read this

book and study it. I said then, you know, we'll

talk about maybe I can come in, do some zoom meetings with you

guys initially, but I'm not called the pastor there, so

that's not going to happen, you know?

But there's some other things that Raima's doing in the region

that I can probably reach out and see if somebody's feeling

led to go there. I mean they could literally have

a church that would start with 40 or 50 people right now.

But in Cyprus, because of the Albania thing we did Tuesday,

Wednesday, Thursday and and so it was pretty amazing that it

could grow during the week. When I say grow, you got to

understand that people were coming as far as an hour and a

half away to come to these meetings and then they drove

home an hour and a half and I didn't go short.

At all that our interpreter was in a box and they had, you know,

little the ones that needed it, most of them understand English.

So it made it really easy for us to just preach.

But at the end of the day, it was growing.

And I knew, man, if we were here Friday, we'd get over 100.

If we did Saturday, we'd be we'd pack this place out, you know,

and you're having to ask a question, you know, if God was

going to do a revival and use you, would you want to be a part

of that? Right.

But we had the other assignment and I felt led to continue to do

that. But I'm going to give you some

testimonies. Olga who helped organize that,

who's a friend of Bali. She sent me these this morning

that some of the things that were said concerning the

conference we did in Cyprus. 1 believer who came said the

presence of God was so powerful at this conference once that my

son who was 28 years old Christian but for years didn't

read his Bible. After the event he started

reading his Bible with such hunger and boosted spiritually

so much. One person said it was a

spiritual reset for them and many others.

A person who wasn't even a a believer said I was crying

during worship. I don't even know why I just

couldn't stop, another one said. The message was so amazing.

I've never heard something like this before in my life.

Another believer was invited after being out of church for so

many years. I came on the second day, was so

touched by the presence of God. They need to come again, they

said. This is what I needed for a long

time. Another one, she said.

Sent came all three days. And when, when you have such a

powerful presence of God, you do whatever is possible to come no

matter what. And this person lived two hours

away. Many called her personally and

told her they were healed. And they didn't have it on text

because I was going to say text me.

You know what? Their testimony.

And she said, well, they're calling me and just telling me

I'm healed. And we pray.

For probably 25 or more. You got some?

Come on, I remember. A couple of things that the one

of the things about in Cyprus where he's talking about is

there were several pastors. But what's so neat about being

in Cyprus was that there were so many other nationalities there.

That I mean, and especially with, you know, Clyda,

everywhere she went, she met Albanians everywhere and

country, every country we went. Are you an Albanian?

So we'd go. Into a coffee shop and she'd

say, I think they're Albanian, go up to them and start speaking

Albania. And then sure enough they were

Albania and so, but anyway in Cyprus, just so amazing that

there were so many different nations there.

And then during the time of ministry we got to minister to,

there was a couple pastors there, three of them.

And what was the one pastor from Nigeria him and his wife were?

Originally from Nigeria and had a church there in Cyprus.

So what I was going? To say about the nationalities,

they literally have a church that's just all Nigerian they

started two years ago from and most of the churches.

There are around their nationality, so if they're

Albanian, they have Albanians. If they are, you know,

Nigerians, they're typically from that area.

There was a Filipino lady who had a church next door to the

theater. She came over and brought and

then brought her congregation the third.

Night they. Were all Filipino.

So it's really interesting, so dynamic look.

For their nation. But the conference 'cause we

preached, the Kingdom brought all nationalities, 'cause that's

together. Yeah.

In three days. In three.

Days and the. Miracle that they we rented the

theater and somebody ended up paying for the whole, you know,

the whole conference was covered, yeah.

I mean. Bali was believing that people

would, you know, from the those avenues, you know, would take

care of it since you know, we we all participated in sending us.

And so they didn't want that, but we were willing to invest.

I mean, I would actually talk to Pastor Mike because some places

don't take American Express over there.

And so I'm like, man, I'm not going to be able to take care of

this theater with American Express.

We're going to put some money on a different card.

He's like, OK, how much? And so I told him and he said,

OK and move money and next thing you know I'm sitting already.

And then she didn't talk to me anymore.

And I'm like, I guess we got to settle up tonight.

And then they're like, Oh no, it's taken care of.

Somebody from? Greece because they were in the

ream of school and heard me minister on Kingdom Economics,

even though they technically weren't a student.

Their husband. Interpreted for me.

And next thing you know, they're paying for the theater.

So you know, it was showing God's provision.

Hallelujah. I said Hallelujah and that

amazing, she says Some of the here's some just some

testimonies of people you know saying afterwards finally

something starting to move in our land.

One of the persons said thank you so much for doing this.

To her this was such a spiritual refresh in the desert.

Another person said the presence of God was more powerful than

ever. So the the one pastor from now

him and his wife was from Nigeria.

He came up to me and said, do you mentor pastors?

You know, so then you hear you feel that responsibility.

So you're asking a question. And so, you know, I'm like,

well, I can do these things. And but you're asking, you know,

what do you do? There's such a need out there.

Again, you know, we cannot understate or overstate really

the blessing that God has given us as a church, the move of the

Spirit, the revelation of the word.

So there's a responsibility we have with it.

And you know, when you go to other lands and you begin to

share things that they've never heard, I mean that pastor,

literally, he said. I've never heard it this way

ever. This is.

Powerful. In fact, he texts me because I

gave him a text, he said. Here's another mind blowing

message. And I'm like, which one are you

talking about? I thought he listened to it

already, but he hadn't, and he showed me from our YouTube the

wealth of a king, he said. I've got to listen to this one.

So you know the. Lord's moving.

He's doing things, and you're a part of that.

Because the reality is we are as strong as we are because of all

of us. Period.

If I wasn't called to do what I'm doing, then the gift that I

am would never come out. And if you weren't?

Here then, it wouldn't be pulled.

I mean, Trevor and I were just talking about other stuff that

he end up have making some statement that all of a sudden

had me, you know, by revelation dismantle a whole thought

process. And I'm like, man, I'm glad you

asked that question. But we've people been saying

this for years and you know, really when you think about it,

that's just technically not correct how they're saying that.

But it it pulls on the gift, it pulls things out, and you learn

and grow and then you know you're rightly divine, the word

of truth. So tonight I want to.

Minister to you, Can I do that for a few moments?

I probably won't go as long as I normally do because we've had

testimonies, but I do want to leave something in you.

Based upon what we've seen today and today, I would call my

message, go and do. Because we're.

All called to go. Now let's look at this in John

John 15:16

chapter 15, verse 16. Again, I want to thank all of

you. You know, I could go through,

you know, just very specific, my staff, the church, all that.

But the reality is, everybody thank you for parting.

With Anchorage Church. For seeing yourself in the

vision and being a part of it, it's really important that we

continue to do these things. And I want us to get in revival

ourselves. But an indicator of revival is

that more people show up, not that we drop off.

Revival. Is 'cause people get hungry and

again if people. Would travel for an hour and a

half one way and then they got to go back and do it again that

night. They're not going to get home

till 1:00 and they're going to turn around and go to work all

day and then show up and come to service during the week and.

Do it again three nights in a row and just and invite people.

And we have this. All the time, right?

So there shouldn't be a Sunday we take off, a Wednesday we take

off, and we should be like, wow, this is amazing.

But look what it says here. In John 1516 it says you did not

choose me. But I chose.

You and appointed you that you would go, say, go, and bear

fruit, and that your fruit would remain so that whatever you ask

of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

So. All of us are called to go, but

when you go, you got to do. Going without doing doesn't

work. 'Cause going.

Without doing is called vacation and Jesus has not called us to

vacation. Jesus has called us to go do

Amen. So no matter where we're at, we

need to go and do. Because again, we didn't choose

Him, man. He chose us.

And then he. Appointed us that we would go

and walk bear fruit. The cool thing about bearing

fruit is you can bear fruit anywhere.

You don't just bear. Fruit in other nations you get

to bear. Fruit.

Everywhere. So you got to see yourself as a

person who goes and bears fruit everywhere, because again, we

know that God, and we're going to see here in a minute, he said

Go therefore in all the world. And we know the word world is

not planet Earth, it is the systems of the world.

And so you can do. That locally you can do it

nationally and you can do it internationally.

And so we have to do that. But when you go, you got to do

and you know what God has calls on people to go, which is all of

us. So I'm going to.

You know, pull up a couple people as examples so that we

can see that when God says go, he expects action.

So with. Abraham in Genesis chapter 12

Genesis 12 · chapter mention

verses one through three. It says this.

Now, the Lord said to Abram Go. Forth from.

Your own from your country and from your relatives, and from

your father's house to a land I will show you and.

Then he says, I'll make. You a great nation.

And I'll bless you, and I'll make your name great, and you

shall be a blessing. And I'll bless those who blessed

you. And I'll curse.

And the ones who curse you, I'll curse and in you.

All. The families of the earth is

blessed now again. It says go, but you understand

he didn't go and not do because he was the father of faith, the

father of us all. Abraham is the doer of the word.

He believed God at his word. So when it's going he was doing,

he was believing God at his word and doing whatever God told him

to do. So again, we all have these same

calls to go and bear fruit that we are all in a position.

That we have to. Recognize our movement has

significant consequence. Look what it says in.

Exodus chapter three. Another leader here.

Now Abraham's the type of God that you know, get up and go to

a place, I'll show you. And that's all he needs is

direction. In essence, he is this the lamp

unto his feet, right. And he don't even know where

he's going. He just knows he's taking him

somewhere and the word go, so he's gone.

So you understand when his wife said where we're going, he's

like, I have no idea, but God does.

That would have been his. Response.

Where are we? Going I don't know, but not

here. OK.

So the following follow to follow Abraham could have been

problematic if you need a plan. Because Abraham.

Doesn't have a plan except for the I'm acting on the word I've

heard and he don't need a whole lot.

Because he'll just. Move Moses, on the other hand,

he was a planned guy. He needs, he wants to hear the

plan. But look what the Lord says to

him in Exodus 3, starting in verse 7.

The Lord said I will surely. I've surely seen the affliction

of my people who are in Egypt and have given heed to their cry

because of their taskmaster, for I'm aware of their sufferings.

So I've come. Down to deliver them from the

power of the Egyptian, and bring them up from the land to a good

and spacious land, to a land flowing with milk and honey.

To the place of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the

Perizzites. The havites and the Jesu bites.

OK, so. He said.

Now behold, the Son, the cry of the sons of Israel has come to

me. Furthermore, I've seen the

oppression with which the Egyptians are oppressing them.

And here this is really like most believers today.

They believe God sees the world like God saw his own nation in

Egypt. They're oppressed.

They need to be delivered. You know well the world's lost.

They're under the oppression of the devil.

And God sees their cry. He wants to deliver them.

We say that, but you understand. God said all these things.

Then we get to the very next verse.

Therefore, come now, I will send you.

So just. Because God is concerned about

the lost doesn't mean he's gonna save them without you.

So we. Can't be praying the 1st 2

verses and and asking the Lord to do something without at least

hearing and saying. Here I am, Lord, send me because

again, you may not go to another country, but you're gonna go to

your workplace, you're gonna go shopping at some juncture,

you're gonna go out and about and get gas for your vehicle.

So you gotta recognize when you go, always be in a position to

do 'cause you never know one of these encounters.

What could? Take place.

What could take? Place.

Obviously we're coming back and testifying of some things that

have taken place because again, you sent us, we were all

partnered together in that and we went.

Someone said would you come And we said we'll go and when we

went we did. All right.

He said, Therefore come now, I'll send you to Pharaoh, so

that you may bring my people, the sons of Israel, out of

Egypt. But Moses said to him, Who am I?

Right. That I should go to Pharaoh,

that I should bring the sons of Israel.

And he says, certainly I'll be with you and this.

Shall be. The sign to you that it is I who

have sent you when you have brought the people out of Egypt,

you shall worship God at this mountain.

So here's the thing, God, when he tells us to go, he expects us

to do. But you're going to have to go

and trust that he'll be there in the doing.

At the end of the. Day.

I don't know all that got to do. But if I.

Go with expectation, then he will do something, I said.

He will do something. And.

We have to be in the expectation that we're when we're going,

there's something we're going to do that's going to give God the

ability to do what he does. But if we just.

Go and and spectate. Then we leave.

Nothing. And this is anywhere we go, I

said. Anywhere we go.

Because we have a mission to take the Kingdom everywhere, and

it starts right where we're at. I'm going to tell you personal

experience, it is not more exciting to be there.

Some. Food is more exciting.

That's true. But not.

It's not more exciting. Is it exciting to see places?

Yes. But it's not more exciting than

where you're assigned where you're at.

Period the, the. Real excitement comes in.

What did I leave when I went? When did I leave?

What part of my mission? Did I leave?

Something that God could do something with because I went on

his behalf and. This.

Can be anywhere. Again, this can be a Publix

tomorrow, wherever you're at. This can be now.

We as a church are are great in our in the way we do outreaches.

We don't do them like other churches.

And honestly, I wish we were a little more evangelistic.

And we're just not. Super strong in that suit.

We do better on personal evangelism.

I believe that and then just getting involved with people and

and you know, like we do in our sports and stuff like that.

But but we're not though like there's some churches that just

go out and start talking to people about Jesus.

We probably need to cultivate that better.

To where you're being. More intentional in your every

day-to-day life to be able to say something.

Because there's. Power in doing when you go.

Not just. Go to the store, but go

intentional when you go 'cause you're having to go anyway.

So you might as well say, well, is there something that I could

have an encounter that would do something?

Now you may. Not.

See the fruit of it. But you know you went with the

capacity to do not just go. You know what it says in Mark

Mark 16 · chapter mention

chapter 16, starting in 15, he says then, then said to them,

this is Jesus. Then he said to them, go into

all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.

Now we know what the gospel is. The gospel is the Kingdom, and

not everybody's hearing that gospel.

But we are to. Go.

And if you're going, then there's a doing.

Because when God says go, he expects doing.

We see here in verse 16 he who believes and has been baptized

shall be saved, but he who disbelieves shall be condemned.

Now you can't save them anyway. Your responsibility is to

communicate. And.

If you happen to communicate and somebody's like I want to like

when Trevor and Kleida went over to that couple's house that he

was dealing with pancreatic cancer and he's talking to him

about Jesus and basically saying that, listen, Jesus will heal

you, He will do that. But at the end of the day, you

know if something doesn't change, you're in the grave and

and he's the only one who saves. He's the only one who.

Has life and shared enough that he says, do you want to make

Jesus your Lord? And then look to the wife and

says do you want to be saved as well?

And they both did. Now there was another lady in

the room. They were telling me that was,

you know? Muslim.

And they were struggling. Jeff was like, she was breathing

hard, like heavy, like real loud.

And he was, he said, are you OK? And she's like, I'm really

uncomfortable. You know, I, I, I I think I'm

going to go to another room and he's like, good, go to another

room. Because again, if.

You're not going to jump in to the true Lord then go to the

other room because these here are coming into the Kingdom.

And. Again, I understand that the

whole grand scheme of things, it's better to be have eternal

life than nothing. But.

And we understand that God can heal even if you don't come into

the Kingdom. But how much more did they

position themselves as the child of God and the the?

The bread is for God's children. Amen.

So. It's easy for us to expect.

Now are you hearing me? Because it'd be very difficult

for this person not to testify that Jesus Christ Hillbill, when

they're technically on their deathbed.

I mean who they going to give credit to?

It's not going to be the Super. White guy that came from

America. Hallelujah.

Praise the Lord. Everybody knows.

Trevor's not from Albania. Everybody knows Hallelujah, but

what's to say in verse? 17 These signs will accompany

those. Who have believed in my name?

They'll cast out demons, they'll speak with new tongues, they

will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it

will not harm harm them. They will lay hands on the sick

and they will recover. That's.

What happens when you go? Here's the thing.

A lot of times people are wanting God to do something but

don't want to go nowhere. Power.

Follows the going. He said.

Go in all the world, then guess what to take place?

Power. Power can take place.

But now if you go and you spectate, then guess what?

Power's not there because you're hindering it.

Because you're really not expecting it.

But when you're being led by the spirit of God and you're going,

then you're doing exactly what God wants you to do.

And you know, in some cases you're planting some places,

you're watering some places because God calls the increase.

You get to see the harvest of things at the.

End of the. Day.

But in you're going, you're doing something with

expectation. Now the.

Thing is, we can't determine what we want to expect.

We just have to stay open to anything within the Bible.

And Pastor Marcy mentioned this to some pastors.

We were ministering to that. Pastor.

Lynette Hagan gave her some advice one time.

That was phenomenal advice, and you need to take the advice, she

says. I never can't go to a service

expecting exactly how God's going to move, because the

minute you do that and it doesn't happen how you prely

conceived his move. Number one, you're.

Disappointed #2, You think he didn't.

And third, you miss how he wants to move because you're not tuned

in. And there's plenty of people

that get into the realm of the Spirit because they've read and

they want spiritual things to happen.

Then all of a sudden they perceive that only God's moving

when certain things happen. Like.

You gotta run. You gotta.

Dance. You gotta shout.

We had a Holy Ghost service. That doesn't mean you had a Holy

Ghost service. It can mean you had a Holy Ghost

service, but it doesn't mean you had a Holy Ghost service.

So at the end of the day, you know, if you come in with

certain expectations. And then you won't.

Look at what other things are happening.

You'll be discouraged when God's like you're looking for

something I'm not doing. Now we are to earnestly desire

spiritual gifts, but that doesn't mean we only want the

power gifts. 'Cause there are.

Six other gifts. Are you hearing me?

So we. Earnestly desire, but we don't

know which one's going to happen when it happens.

But we also desire that the Holy Spirit do does what Jesus

literally said he would do when he first announced him, And that

is he would cause things to come to your remembrance.

He would teach you all things, He would guide you into all

truth, and he would disclose things to come.

And he's always wanting to work that praise God, because the

Word that you know right now. If I set.

You in oste Italy right now and let you just start talking about

what you know they. 'D be blown.

Away. This is why you.

Can't take it for granted, and I know you don't take it for

granted when you go and do with what you have, but if you sit on

what you're hearing. Then the.

Then you start to decrease the value in your hearing 'cause

you're not experiencing what you're hearing.

Say Amen. Anyway, Matthew.

Matthew 10 · chapter mention

Chapter 10 verse seven and eight says this and as you go and as

you go. And as you.

Go. Preach.

Saying the Kingdom of heaven is at hand.

This is what Jesus said. So this is the gospel.

Then he goes verse 8, heal the sick.

What? Else raise the dead.

A Dead. Person that you encounter is not

beyond your capacity to hear God and speak the name of Jesus over

him. You roll up on a scene of an

accident and someone could be laid out dead and God may sent

you to go and raise them, but you got to be bold enough to

call it in the name of Jesus in the midst of everybody.

Amen. Man, I saw an.

Accident today. I'm always.

Asking when I see one. What are we?

What's to do at this point? Now again.

It could be just pray and you don't stop, 'cause you can't

stop and God's not leading you to stop.

But your prayer may do something that you'll find out later, and

I'll get to that point here in a minute.

But notice. Heal the sick, raise the dead,

cleanse the lepers, cast out demons freely, you receive

freely. Why is it?

That we love to freely receive. That even comes with money.

Comes with. Revelation of the Word comes

with people laying hands on you and you falling out in the

Spirit comes with all kinds of stuff we want to freely receive

man, the presence of God. Today you've received that, but

then what are you giving? God's not.

Giving you something so that you get to sit on it.

And I'm gonna tell you, the more I I've traveled to other

countries, the more I realize, man, American Christianity is

getting really sloppy, really commercialized, really self

seeking. I'm holding all these.

Conferences for each other. Now don't get me.

Wrong. I'm gonna.

I have conferences myself, but they're intentional for purpose.

But I begin to. You know, look at some of them,

like what countries are they going to?

Where are they getting? This out?

Are they just building here within our own nation now?

Don't think? Don't get me wrong, our nation

needs ministry and missions. I understand that.

But you also. Know that there's a lot of

freely receiving. Where?

Christians run from one conference to another conference

to another conference to another conference to another concert,

to another concert, to another concert, to another concert.

The worship experience. And what are they?

Doing. They're freely.

Receiving, but not freely, not freely.

Giving, we need to give. Matthew 2819 says, go therefore

and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the

name of the Father, Son, the Holy Spirit.

Again, these words go always are followed up with a do.

All of them. All of them.

So we were at a dinner in Albania and my wife asked Pastor

Fatmir and his wife Silva to do their testimonies.

How they were born again. Because they.

Came out of a nation that was in communism.

And the. Communism that they were in was

their leader said that China was weak.

In Albania. Their leader at the time when

they were under communism said that that China's communism was

weak communism. Their whole.

Nation was shut off. They tell us that they saw they.

Their news told them that all Americans were starving to

death. That's what they.

Taught them that was their propaganda, that everything

going on when he took power in the 50s.

You know, and this. Is like some of the most

prosperous years of the United States.

But they're hearing that the United States, they're starving

to death. Their people are hurting.

Basically. You know, to have that kind of

government, it leaves you poor, broke and desperate and.

That's what they sold them. Very.

Locked down. No TV's.

The only TV was state TV. And if you had other channels

and they caught you because there was an Italian channel

coming in, that's why some of them learned Italian language.

But if they caught you, you'd go to jail.

And if you go to. Jail.

Then your whole family goes to jail and your extended family

and they mark your whole family. If you go to Albania.

With us, we can take you into their underground.

Bunkers where they talk to you about.

All the torture they used to do, extremely rough, really

oppressive. And then that leader.

Died. That's the only reason why

communism broke, because he died and then the next person who

came could not hold it together. And then I started.

Opening up a little bit and the reason why Kaleide can spot

Albanians in every place in Europe, because they opened the

embassies and the people ran to the embassies and meant they got

across the gate, They basically what is it called?

Asylum or something. They asked for that and they

were able to receive those people and start distributing

them all through Europe and even into the United States.

Then they closed them. Down again and the next thing

you know, you know, eventually, you know the nation opened up,

but then people. Started going over.

And again, much to my surprise, the first time I went over to

Albania is that, you know, I went over to Pastor Fotmire's

church and my wife was actually asked to do a women's thing.

And we walked into the church. And I'm looking in the one

that's basically torn down now because of the earthquake.

But I walked into their little foyer that's, you know, about

the size of from this pole to here, This was it.

This is the foyer walked into it and it had on the table books

from the pastor that I used to be hired with, David Emai.

And I'm like. Where'd you get these from?

They come to find. Out.

This is the church he was going to.

I'm like. What a small.

World. But he's now gone on to be with

the Lord, so I. Realize I'm taking his talent.

Because he can't. Finish it.

So I'm going to. Support that, which is why we

do. But talking about a.

Small world getting smaller when Silva's given her testimony.

At one year. Old She was diagnosed with an

incurable disease. They said she would die by the

time she was 20. Wouldn't lift beyond.

That she was in excruciating pain because of what that

disease did to her joints. Sickle.

Cell. Anemia, I think, is what it was,

because major. Pain in her joints, she would.

Cry. As a child, her parents would

cry because there's nothing they could do, she said.

She cried all the time. She was in constant,

excruciating pain. She has a high pain tolerance

in. Fact when she gave birth to her

first child that she never should have given birth to ever.

When she gave birth to her child, you know they were

wanting to know why wasn't she screaming when they said push

and she was like I, you know, it doesn't hurt that bad because

apparently. The disease and the way the pain

is in the joints is worse than giving birth, and it proved out

to her because it really wasn't that bad.

Now all the moms are like, wow, that's some serious pain.

And you're saying that after an epidural.

I get it. But.

Anyway, because again, they didn't have that kind of stuff

over there in Albania, but she was 8 years old.

Because the. Communism had broken.

She got a backpack, and then that backpack was a track.

Because a man by the. Name of Terry Law, who used to

go to Pastor David E Mai's church every year.

Sent. Backpacks to the school because

the Lord told him to go to that country.

And he took a. Backpack with school supplies,

but in it was a track about Jesus.

The. Story of Jesus.

And that story of Jesus. She was born again.

I'm like listening to this and I'm thinking.

What we. Would sometimes consider

insignificant moment. I'm talking.

To a lady who her and her husband.

Are. Currently and will be more

influential in the nation of Albania for the sake of the

King. And it came because somebody

went to do. And they're doing.

Was a track. 'Cause where?

Places are oppressed. It's amazing what God will do,

'cause I'm telling you when the scripture says we are without

excuse. We are without.

Excuse. Even in.

Countries where it's difficult to preach.

Because of the. Testimonies that people say of

the links that God is doing in these oppressive nations to

identify himself. And his.

Message. That when?

There's not a flood of churches on every corner like in the

United States. And the.

Accessibility to teaching. That God.

Is still navigating through very.

What would seem insignificant things are major moments.

Major. Moments.

And she got born. Again at 8.

By the time she's 16, she gets complete well.

She was 20, supposed to die. And then she heard about the

authority of the believer and her and her husband, 'cause I

think they were married at the time they came together and was

completely healed. Completely.

Healed Hallelujah. But it started because somebody

went to a nation that just opened.

To drop off. Backpacks to kids.

With a message you know a lot of times.

When we do missions we want. Just the.

Supernatural. I mean, we had a girl come up to

my wife and in Cyprus and and said I want to be filled with

the Holy Ghost came to her again, this guy healing.

Then there's just a. Spiritual awakening happening in

others. And then there's healings that

are taking place and we're not knowing exactly what they all

are. But they're.

Happening. Hallelujah, 'cause you expect

things through your doing, but there's other stuff you're

doing, like leaving books. There's no telling where, the

books you help us print, where they'll go, who'll grab a cop.

We actually were in France, 'cause we didn't minister in

France. We were close enough.

We just took a day because you know when our schedule we by the

time I finished the weekend, I was there Friday from a Friday

night to a Tuesday when we got on a plane.

I had already done 22 hours of ministry and.

Then we had three days before the next one hit, and so we're

close. Enough to France.

We popped down there and so we were what?

No, it wasn't. It was actually in Milan.

We flew into Milan and then we had to.

Drive over, but we were in Milan.

We grabbed something to eat and it was a cafe but it had books

and I told Josh I'm like, we should leave the forest here.

Just put it on. A shelf I.

Mean. There's so many.

Books. I doubt they go through and say

where did this come from, but even if they did, so he ran

back. To the hotel, grabbed it and.

Put it on a shelf. Hallelujah.

Because. Now I'm like, thank God I left

it on the shelf. Because if a backpack with a

track can save one of the most influential women in Albania

today for the gospel of the Kingdom.

We. Just didn't go to the coffee

shop to have another cup of coffee.

Oh, the coffee I drank. It was amazing.

The gallons Coffee. In search of the.

Greatest Americano? It's here in America anyway.

But who knows, 'cause you're like.

Let's do this. Let's leave.

This resource. Because in every.

Book that we write in the very back a person can read and be

born. Again.

And then we let them know. If you contact us, we'll help

you find a church. Wow.

It's amazing. So we left.

Fifty books there. In Italy, we left.

I gave the books away, the English books In Cyprus, not one

book left. Completely gone.

Could have gave more, so they're.

Circulating. We got to pray over these 'cause

it's the word of God, 'cause, you know, if you read any of our

books, we put the Scripture in there, we don't reference it.

We type it out, 'cause we think people are lazy and they won't

actually open their Bible and see where that's at.

Hallelujah. Look what it says in.

John, 1315 to 17 for I have given you this.

As an. Example.

That you? Should do in your.

Turn what I have done to you. It's Jesus talking, I assure you

most solemnly. I'm reading out the amplified

classic. I tell you, a servant is not

greater than his master, and no one who is sent is superior to

the one who is sent. Did you just hear what I.

Said no one. Who is sent is superior to the

one who sent. Him We equally shared in this

trip, even though you didn't go and everything that becomes

fruitful. That we may not.

Know this side of the Kingdom of the manifestation of Jesus in

the air. And us going towards the great

reward of all that took. Place but you went.

You were a part in your prayers, in your giving, and you're

connecting. You were there, but there's an

expectation. We're not greater than our

master, but we can function like our Master, Jesus Christ.

As he went, we can do because Jesus was sent by His Father to

do something we've been sent by our Father to do.

Something And whether we're. Doing it here locally, whether

we're doing it nationally or whether we're doing it

internationally, we're doing, we have no idea.

The impact is gonna be on all the orphans.

The ones we are. Financially supporting in India

and in the Moldovia and Ukraine. We have no.

IDEA All that will take place because we are financially

supporting those locations. It's because.

We are are set to go and do and we're financially doing things

with missionaries. But then we get to participate

in our going and there's an expectation of harvest, an

expectation of harvest. I'm telling you, you should have

a passport. If you don't, you need to get

one. Because.

God wants every one of us to go. Now, if you've already been and

you believe that, you know you're just going to be sending

people. I understand that.

No problem. Whatever.

But everybody. Should have an expectation to

go. Our youth.

Went great testimonies on Sunday, right?

I mean, I talked to one out in the mall today and they were

talking about, you know, the things they were doing and how

much they enjoyed it. They These are life changing

moments. These.

Are memorials and markers in their lives.

Cause again, when we sent them, we didn't send them to go

experience and watch Nicaragua. We sent them to do something and

one of the doing was painting. In fact, it was.

Testified of somebody that attends our church.

That used to come. All the time because they had

children in the preschool. But one.

Reason why they joined the church.

Was not because. I prophesied was not because you

know the the big presence of God.

It's because they saw me and my wife painting the church.

That was the. Supernatural doing because they

related. I've been to churches and I've

never seen the pastor do. That, but there's nothing we.

Won't. Do 'cause you have no.

Idea. The impact.

Of what you? Do when you.

Go, no matter what it is. For somebody in Nicaragua

saying, wow, look at all these teenagers from America.

They're They're painting our church.

Wow, they would come over. Here and take their spring break

to serve us. That could be one of the.

Most supernatural, impactful moves of God for someone in

Nicaragua. You just don't know.

Because here's the thing. No matter what you do for the

Lord, it's not. In vain It's not in vain.

Come on, it's not in. Vain.

It's not in vain. It's not in vain.

It's not in vain. And here's the thing.

There's a lot to do, Jesus said himself.

Look up for the fields are white with harvest.

They're ripe for harvest. Right.

He said but pray to the Lord of harvest that he send forth

laborers. Cause the laborers are.

That means there's few people that are working or doing.

Lot of people are spectating. But God didn't tell us to go and

spectate. Go and vacation, go and enjoy

yourself, he said. Go and do.

Go. And do 37 hours of teaching

myself personally. It's fine, no.

Problem. Because when you go and do, then

you get up under the anointing. You get on the power of God.

And here we are. It's Wednesday night.

We're preaching. Right.

We're preaching. What are you saying?

Joshua. Clay, yes.

OK. Pastor Marsh is.

Calling on you, Joshua. Now listen, I had a auction.

That on. Sunday morning, when I was going

to be preaching at Pastor fought Meer's other church, I'm like, I

really believe Chase should be preaching.

So I asked. Pastor fought Meer, I said.

Would you mind if Chase ministered at your other campus?

He said. No, not at all.

Not at all. So chase ministers on the

Kingdom about reigning. But he ministered it from a

perspective. That.

He grew up in church and that he had to find his own faith.

Ultimately later. That afternoon the next day, No.

Was that afternoon, 'cause you had the women's thing that

afternoon when they came to pick us back up.

So you go do the women's thing, they.

Didn't get. To rest cause one of their boys,

they have twin boys. One of them was like talking

about what he wanted to do with his life and it was really not

technically following God. Some.

Talents and he was able to. Say you know what?

I want you to. Listen to this message that was

in our church this morning, 'cause they didn't attend with

us that morning. This will answer all your

questions 'cause he's like what your son did this morning was

directly. For my children.

Amen. Hallelujah, Joshua Well.

A couple of things that stood out to me specifically from this

trip. Obviously I've travelled with

Pastor old many times, but the thankfulness I have to be part

of Anchor Faith Church. I I know that we sit here in St.

Augustine, FL and sometimes we see that, you know, we ignite

the city, impact the nation, influence the world.

But when you get to actually go and see the effect, we're

spoiled here. We've got such great teaching,

we've got such great leadership. We've got such a such a great

message that comes out that when we go into a place like Osti you

realize these people are starving for the word, not for

pasta. They have plenty of that, trust

me. We we partook of it but for the

word. Whenever pastor began to open up

the Kingdom, it just put me back.

When I remember hearing it for the first time myself.

And you can't help but just be stirred on the inside and think,

gosh, these people's lives can't ever be the same from this

moment. They'll leave tonight and they

can never go back. They can never go back without

really pushing past, go into some old tradition that they

would, I mean, you know, from going from Osti, then going into

Cyprus and just seeing the hunger there as well, that

they're just craving, not just religion.

All these places have religion. They all know about Jesus.

They've heard about Jesus. There's crucifix, you know,

things everywhere from the Catholic Church, from the Greek

Orthodox Church. Chase and I have the opportunity

to go up. We wanted to get some cool

photos of this monastery and we get up there only to see these

signs after we drove for an hour that say no cameras, no drones,

no cell phones, no women. Well, we're OK on that.

But when we went inside, we realized it's still a

functioning religious monastery in Cyprus.

So we're watching these full grown men come in weeping, going

up to these paintings of Mary and Jesus and five other Saints

kissing the pictures. And then walking back.

And doing their little, you know, ceremony and leaving that

place thinking they've touched God somehow.

And and it was. Really.

It kind of turned our stomachs. We're thinking this is idol

worship. You know, this is but the whole

Nate, these nations that we're visiting, it's not like they're

majority Christians and that, you know, like St.

Augustine, FL, there's a church on every corner.

Well, in their cities there's religion on every corner and

religions choking them to death. Yet we were able to come in as

anchor faith church with your help with you financially sowing

to what we were doing. It was more than us just going

and eating pasta. It's just going in and being

able to actually bring this revelation of the Kingdom that

we all have every week that they've never heard before.

So going going. From there to obviously whenever

we got into another major bullet point for me, I guess on the

trip is, is the lunch he was talking about that we had with

Pastor Fotmere and and Pastor Silva.

Phenomenal. I mean, what what we're not

saying is that you know me, Pastor Earl, Pastor Marci Clyde,

we're all like sobbing through the whole lunch.

You know, Chase is just shaking his head at me.

But I'm sitting there, you know, trying to eat my food because

you're just realizing that. I mean, it's what it did in my

heart and showing me my Jesus and who he is in other places.

I can't. It's going to be really

difficult for me to articulate and I'll try here in the next

few minutes because you know, I know how to talk.

But what it did in my heart and showing he's not just the king

and he's not just savior. He's the hero king.

The. Way that he presented himself to

me, but then the way that he presented himself to Pastor

fought me when he was 16. Because I remember when I made

Jesus Lord of my life at 18. Now I remember what was going on

in my life and the decisions I was making to just inner turmoil

happening. But then I'm seeing that this

same Jesus that I encountered is meeting with this other person

in a nation that just got broke free of their governmental

oversight. And this guy's happened to make

a decision because, you know, you briefly hit on it.

But I'm going to say pastor Fotmire as he was telling his

story said I had a friend. We were all Muslim.

He's like, I wasn't a good Muslim, but we were all Muslim

and that's who we were. Then my friend goes out and

comes back to school the next day and says I went to a church

service, I've heard about Jesus and starts telling all of his

friends about Jesus and he's like, what's wrong with you?

That's not what we do. Like what it what is this?

So he said he ended up going with his friend to a a a service

and they had a lot of revivals in that time because people went

and did. People heard this place has

opened up for the gospel and just went a lot of people from

specifically Oklahoma apparently because there was a lot of

ministries coming out of Tulsa and and Broken Arrow areas that

were showing up that I grew up knowing.

So there was one from Victory Bible.

You know school. Billy Joe Dougherty's church

went in there and started a small Bible school at the time.

So his friends were hearing this, but he said he went home

and and had this encounter with God where God spoke to him on

the inside and he said he knew it.

He didn't know about being led by the Spirit like we do, but

something touched him and he knew he heard the voice of God.

So then he went. Out and battled.

And he said it took him several days because he had to count the

cost. And I found, you know, not to

bag on Americans, you know, but do do we really understand what

it is to be devoted or to really make a commitment and give our

allegiance to the Kingdom? Not just say I'm with Kingdom

people, but to say in my heart my allegiance is only to the

king. Yeah.

Because his family obviously was Muslim.

And he said as he counted the cost, he realized what it would

cost him with his parents, what it would cost him with his

extended family, his relatives. And they he said whenever he

announced to his family, I have believed in Jesus and I will

follow Jesus. He said he was not only verbally

abused but physically abused by his family that daily they came

in and they would either beat him or lock him in his room or

deprive him of food and say renounce Christ or you won't,

you know we won't feed you. Renounce Christ or you'll be

beaten. Renounce Christ, or you'll have

to leave our house till it came to a point where his father

kicked him out of his home. That's was it. 16 years old?

Yep. And said.

You'll have nothing to do with our family.

You leave. And he said he had the most

peace, 'cause he said. He said Jesus is alive and real

and he'll take care of me since I've chosen him.

So he left his home and didn't really know.

He said he just had this leading inside that just prompted him to

go to this place that ended up having Christian people his age

that were from Victory Bible Institute.

They brought him in, they let him stay in the dorms, they gave

him food. And then his father came back

and was looking for him. After a few days thinking, did

he die? Where did he go, 'cause in that

time it's not like there was you could make it on your own.

He saw the change that had happened in him and saw that he

was taken care of and said what happened.

So he was able to speak out his calling for the first time as a

teenager and said these people have brought me in.

I've believed in Jesus and I'm there's people dying and going

to hell and I will preach the gospel and I'll tell them about

Jesus. That's what I'll do with my

life. And how old is he now?

404142 years old and he's been doing it since that day.

But that's how real the call was to them.

That's how real Jesus was a lot of times as teenagers in youth

groups here it it's not that hard for us to say, oh, I choose

whatever I choose, but in there that he come on.

It's all going to come. Down to a question of our

allegiance. Have you chosen?

Christ to the point, Have you chosen the Kingdom of God and

and sided with the King to the point you say I don't care what

comes against me. I don't care what it cost me

financially. I don't care what it cost me in

my relationships. I choose this and it was just a

big that was a big take away from me.

I mean, you can't help but just be moved, thinking how could I

go back and not me just as much, if not even more devoted than I

have been. You know you count the.

Cost just to follow Christ, but we got people sometimes that

count the cost to just click yes on Planning Center.

Yeah, and. We're saving that for.

Sunday but. But really, I mean.

Think about it. I mean, put yourself in the

personal position that I was in where it was.

This guy wasn't just talking. My God was talking to my heart

while he was speaking. I mean each place.

That we went. It's just powerful to see the

work. Anchor Faith Church is doing

that. I know people, let's say the

statement all the time, you know you, you don't know you're

making history while you're making it.

But I actually think at Anchor Faith Church we're a little

privileged. I think we actually know that

we're making history. I think that while it's

happening, we know what we're doing, 'cause we know what the

Lord's called us to do. We're doing it here at home.

And this is what's this is what is the 1st and most important,

then the 2nd and also most important is US doing it in the

nation. And then the third, also most

important because they're all just equally important.

Doing the whole vision is going into the world.

If we don't have home right, we're not going to have world

right. But I'm thankful we have home

right? We love each other.

We get, We walk in love with each other, we serve with one

another. Then we're able to go out and

show this culture to people who don't have the Kingdom.

Amen. Yeah, so.

Good. It is a culture and we have it.

It's the Kingdom. It's the Kingdom, you know so.

Again, every part we play is very significant.

You know, again, we'll have a big video on Sunday so you can

see it more and more. You know, we want to keep

everyone included because we understand that even though

you're not physically with us, you are there in spirit and we

do not, you know, take that for granted and the and anytime we

have an opportunity to go anywhere, we realize how

valuable this place is, what we have.

And you know, that's why we love taking people.

Because you know, the unfortunate thing is that you

expect me to say something like this or your pastor.

Sure you would say that. I just wish you were inside me.

I wish you really understood how much I value this place and this

ministry and you as people and to serve our king together.

It's amazing and I do not want to take our luxury because it's

luxury. I don't want.

To take. Our luxury for granted.

I want us to be intentional. I.

Want us to be? Intentional.

You know. I guess I would like it at this

in closing. You know you can get strong and

good in anything, but it will have a limitation until you

start dealing with very specific details.

And so the. The programs that are what we

call elite programs, if you go into their facilities, they have

it down to the to a science, OK. You're talking the.

Food, the workouts, the relationships, the study, the

whole culture. They'll talk about it.

The schools that don't have that, although they are doing

some of the same things, they're not elite.

And it's the. It's the places that recognize

we've been given the phenomenal practice field.

We've had. The ability to have the

investment so that we can have the best stuff.

So let's. Produce the best disciples.

Because the day's. Coming quickly and we'll talk

about April 7th at our twenty year anniversary service of the

work and there's no way I can go alone.

I mean, I can't even go to all the places I can't even go.

I have to. Send others, but they're

Timothy's. They're like minded.

They are the culture of the Kingdom that's here.

They're not seeking. Their own.

They are an. Extension.

And we'll be able to do. More because you have more.

People to send different groups, different things.

It's amazing. It's just amazing.

I wouldn't trade. What?

We have for nothing. And I sure wouldn't want to have

to start over again. I would.

But if I don't have to, and I just keep sending the group with

us and let us just keep multiplying, then let's just

take over the world we're doing. It.

Anyway, let's do our part while we live.

Amen. Thank you so much.
