-
I just feel to encourage the keyboard player. Okay, what's
-
your name, Tino? Yeah, I just want to encourage you.
-
Did Oh no, no, I'm I'm just just a word.
-
Oh yeah, did you.
-
I just really feel that God.
-
Sees you did it, that you are a faithful man.
-
And the way that you faithfully served Malayani. And you're
-
very gifted on the piano.
-
The talent and the main key book the piano, and you.
-
Help others connect with God.
-
Then it talk about.
-
Real worship. And I also feel like you're a you
-
have a father's heart. Then your wrong that when the
-
church looks at you, you're like a father to them.
-
Then Cony, that's so, and.
-
You're a real blessing to the community.
-
And so.
-
Keep going, my brother, all right, John seventeen three, do.
-
You honest to bless tiger? This is Jesus, then, Jesus
-
you honest? Do you blessed Tiger?
-
He says, Now this is eternal life in it that
-
they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ
-
whom you have sent.
-
Then mana, yes, Christus.
-
What's interesting is Jesus defines eternal life young Sung.
-
Young Sung.
-
As knowing God. I don't know about you, but where
-
I can from. When people think about eternal life or heaven,
-
they think about going to a place. If I am
-
a good person, maybe one day I will go to heaven.
-
Maybe one day I'll have eternal life. Do you experience that?
-
Have you heard that? Because it could be Christians, Catholics, Protestants, done, Muslims.
-
Muslim Hindus.
-
We think we're going to place, but Jesus says, now,
-
this is eternal life. I know you the only true God,
-
and Jesus Christ, whom you said. So what I would
-
like to propose today, how can you say is that
-
Jesus is saying eternal life and heaven isn't necessarily a place. Did?
-
It's the moment we know Himristus and the Greek word
-
for no.
-
Is genosco.
-
Now do you know what means.
-
It means to know through relationship? It means to know
-
through personal experience. Did. It's not just about head knowledge,
-
but it's about an experience of the heart. There's a
-
difference between knowing about.
-
God and.
-
Really knowing God. Does that make sense? For example, when
-
Mary and I are.
-
In Adelaide, Adelaide.
-
We heard about Indonesia, Indonesia, we heard about Bali.
-
Come Bali.
-
Bali is a place where Aussie's like to go on holiday.
-
We learned about Samarang.
-
Then come me to go Blad.
-
We learned that Pastor Daniel and Mama Lily pastor this
-
church here.
-
Then comeing to go Bla Mama Lily.
-
But Mary and I only knew about Indonesia.
-
The people that walked with.
-
We only knew about Bali, Indonesia, Bali.
-
We only knew about Sammaranga.
-
But now we come to Indonesia, Indonesia, now we come
-
to Bali. Then now we come to Samarang.
-
And so there's relationship with Pastor Daniel and Mama. Then
-
we meet each other personally, then.
-
We shake hands, we share a meal together, and.
-
We get to know each other. And there's a difference
-
between knowing about Godhan and having relationship with God. Does
-
that make sense? So my question to you today is
-
do you know about God Han or do you really
-
know him from the heart? Because Jesus doesn't want you
-
to know about him.
-
Can I used to see.
-
He wants you to really know him. And it doesn't
-
matter who you are. It doesn't matter about how high
-
your status or how low your.
-
Status is thinking your soci Indonesia.
-
It doesn't matter about your education level, whether you finish
-
school or not, whether you can speak English or not,
-
whether you have lots or little money. Jesus wants all
-
of us to git some more. Jesus wants all of
-
us to smell some to have relationship with him. Does
-
that make sense? Now? Heaven is a play.
-
Focus.
-
When we die.
-
If we believe in Christ Cristas, we're going to heaven,
-
the New Jerusalem, the.
-
New Creation where everything will be made right.
-
But there will be no more suffering like you, and
-
we will live in perfect relationship with God for eternity.
-
Then Han, But that isn't it.
-
Because it starts now. Eternal life starts now, Heaven starts now.
-
Then when we know Jesus in relationship. Amen, Amen, I'm
-
going to read from Ephesians one fifteen to twenty three.
-
Passa ayatli my blass.
-
If you'd like to follow in your Bible. Did the.
-
My blas?
-
Paul is speaking pa for this reason, ever since I
-
heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus, Yesus, and
-
your love for all God's people the Uncle. I have
-
not stopped giving thanks for you, remember bring you in
-
my prayers. I keep asking Allah that the God of
-
our Lord, Jesus Christ, the Glorious Father, may give you
-
the spirit of wisdom and revelations, so that you may
-
know him better. I pray that the eyes of your
-
heart then may be enlightened, in order that you may
-
know the hope to which He has called Youanglan, the
-
riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy.
-
PEOPLEA and Burgus.
-
And ready for this and his incomparably great power for
-
us who believe. Are you following That power is the
-
same as the mighty strength he exerted when He raised
-
Christ from the dead and seated him at his right
-
hand in the heavenly realms, far above all raw and authority,
-
power and dominion, and every name that is in voked,
-
not only in the present age, but also in the
-
ones to come. Then and God placed all things under
-
his feet.
-
Thensos and appointed him to be head over everything for
-
the church.
-
Then the Atlanta there is.
-
Which is his body young, the fullness of him who
-
feels everything in every way.
-
Young maman someone and.
-
Wow, wow that's powerful. Amen. I mean, what's really interesting
-
is that Paul says in verse seventeen.
-
Would you blast pau Paulus.
-
That he keeps asking that God.
-
Then Maristos may give us the spirit of wisdom and revelation.
-
Than you, so that you may know him better.
-
BLA.
-
Now remember johns seventeen three, Jesus says that he wants.
-
All his children to know God.
-
You unders do you blessigar?
-
Or yes?
-
That's more?
-
Be some? And in this verse Paul says he prays
-
that the church knows God more and more.
-
Then, but I surprise some more, and you might be
-
some luggy, lugged and luggy.
-
In John seventeen three, the word for no is genosco.
-
Did you undert did you blesssco?
-
In this verse the Greek word is epi ginosco.
-
Then the bless epig nosco.
-
That's to intensify in osco.
-
Then epi.
-
U.
-
You don't lug you.
-
Jesus, as I really want you to know God?
-
And yes is got apple.
-
Han and Paul says, I really really want you to
-
know God.
-
Then the sung in the inlaidn luggy.
-
Because do you know who Paul was before he encountered Christrists?
-
He was so.
-
Saul.
-
He hated Christians, then Christian He hated Christ, but he
-
loved God the mangasi Allah. He just needed revelation of
-
who Jesus was.
-
But what you want it?
-
And Jesus said, so, so, why do you persecute me?
-
Then when Paul went soul, when soul experienced Christ, masts.
-
Had relationship with Christ. His life was forever changed.
-
He was not the same manner, and that is true
-
for every one of us when we encounter Christ, how young.
-
And so my question to you is do you know
-
about Christ? Or do you really really know him? I
-
would like to share a story, a testimony from my life.
-
Did you the moment?
-
Two years ago on a Friday night, Mary and I
-
were at our youth group at church.
-
She didn't.
-
I'm the youth pastor, and so we ran a youth
-
service on the Friday night.
-
Did you Malam?
-
When we went home, Mary and I walked around the block.
-
Oh didn't work, Jean Jean.
-
Without home, which we would regularly do at the time.
-
Then it was about ten thirty pm. We were walking
-
and praying with God.
-
Did this stung us bless Mala Maya disappined, And.
-
For some reason I just prayed, Lord, I pray that
-
you would baptize me in wind and fire.
-
Then Malu Appi and Mary turned to me. Then Maria
-
and she said, why wind, then onion?
-
And I said, because the wind is the Holy Spirit.
-
So I prayed that, and I believed that at some
-
point in the future I would experience the wind of God.
-
Then after that we went to sleep, then light on,
-
and that night I had a dream.
-
And in the dream, I was in the old church
-
that I used to go to. I was standing at
-
the front left of the church, the left, and there
-
was a friend on my side. There was a friend
-
next to me. Did and Mary was there?
-
Did Tom?
-
So I was facing this way. Did you friends here? Mary?
-
There in the pew in the seats. Then, and we
-
were in worship in the dream.
-
Then the.
-
Some summer, the church was full of people. Then did
-
I'd never seen that church that fall? Then and there
-
was a worship team at the front.
-
Then did a team worship?
-
It was a big team. There was about eight or
-
ten musicians then and the worship was powerful then to sing,
-
so just to remind you, this is my dream.
-
Then reminder.
-
I could feel God's presence in a way that I've
-
never felt before. The presence of God was so strong
-
it felt like the roof was going was gonna lift.
-
Then do you And then at one point there was
-
a woman on the other side.
-
Do you see the young lion?
-
And she was the pastor's wife. Then and she said
-
to everyone in this dream at three at three a m.
-
I was praying and Jesus said he would enter the room.
-
Then yes, so this is still my dreaming following me.
-
After that the dream stopped so that I do some
-
And then in my right ear, then I started to
-
hear wind.
-
Onion.
-
I heard the wind in my ear did and then
-
I had this cool breeze, cool wind Hawaiian and it
-
started to cover my whole body. You need to ling
-
And for the first few seconds I was like what
-
is going on? Then and then I realized it was
-
very nice.
-
Then I hear this other It was.
-
Dealing, it was refreshing, and so I was still asleep
-
and I was It felt like I was lying on
-
my back and I was like, ah, this is nice.
-
Did it this with.
-
Meanwhile, the wind sound is still going did and my
-
whole body was covered by this wind then and it
-
felt like it lasted a few minutes.
-
Then magasa itk okay bergan.
-
And then it stopped. Then when I woke up, I
-
wasn't lying on my back the young I was lying
-
on my left side with my arm around Mary did
-
this and I look at my watch. The time is
-
around six forty a m. Then, Dom on the Saturday morning,
-
do you remember what I prayed Friday night at ten
-
thirty pm, dijum Lord, I pray that you would baptize
-
me with wind and fire.
-
Upped and onion.
-
And it happened earlier than I thought.
-
Then, and you'll get the expect Assican, And.
-
I was I was shocked. I looked at Mary and
-
she started to blink and so I realized she was awake.
-
Then you do, and I said, very Mary, did you
-
experience the wind? Did you did you feel that? Did
-
you feel that?
-
Did you?
-
And she was like, no, what wind? Then? And I
-
was like the wind? And then I looked outside our
-
bedroom window. Then there was no wind, onion, some scar
-
the trees were still, they were not moving, and I
-
realized Jesus came into my room. Then well, yes, the
-
Holy Spirit came into Genosco. That was a moment where
-
I really really knew God. Han, what I don't understand you?
-
Why didn't Mary experience it? To you? And while she
-
was happy for me this, she felt a little bit
-
left out the almost dig THI And I don't blame
-
her because what I experienced was amazing and I wanted
-
that for her as well.
-
Then you got India Mona.
-
My encouragement to you is don't be discouraged because God
-
reveals himself to us all the time, some more sometimes
-
like a pente cost he comes like a rushing wind.
-
A lot of the time he comes through a still
-
small voice. And do you know what's the greatest threat
-
for us to hear God's voice? It's distraction being on
-
our phone all the time, you watching movies all the time,
-
watching TV shows all the time. And while those things
-
aren't wrong, then I believe that in this day and age,
-
whether you live in Indonesia.
-
U s A or Australia, America Nostalia, the enemy is trying.
-
To distract us.
-
Han.
-
The enemy might not be able to take away your faith,
-
but he might affect how much you really know Jesus
-
through distraction. So my encouragement to you is God really
-
wants you to know him then by but we need
-
to have a heart that is hungry. Cristus, if I
-
didn't pray Lord baptize me in the wind, do you
-
think he would have showed up in my room that morning?
-
Under So, if you're there and you're like, God doesn't
-
speak to me, I don't feel his presence. My question
-
is are you hungry for him? Are you thirsty for him?
-
Under House can han so?
-
I'm forty two you, David says, as the deer pants
-
for streams of water. So my soul thirst for God,
-
my soul thirst for.
-
The living Gods. Ito House, I can't house, I can't
-
do han House, I can to hanan.
-
Do Jesus says in Matthew Matak.
-
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness.
-
Young House, then Lapa and Cristas.
-
For they will be filled filled with what the sting
-
a napper, filled with what in a napper, the Holy Spirit.
-
And I feel like today that God is inviting each
-
and every one of you then into deeper relationship with him.
-
Lucky but it starts with a hungry heart, a thirsty.
-
Heart, and HATI young House, then Lapa and Cristas.
-
He doesn't want us to I don't care, it doesn't matter.
-
It's too hard. I've tried all this time that sometimes
-
we all feel that way. But God says, I want
-
you to know me. Paul says epig in Oscar, I
-
want you to really really know him. And so after
-
that Saturday morning, when God showed up in the wind,
-
Mary and I went into our living room did and
-
we turned on worship music on the TV, didn't.
-
Worship music, and the.
-
Song Revival is in the Air by Bethel came on.
-
But look if I fall in the air but I.
-
And one of the lyrics then is He's moving on
-
the wind.
-
But to han Malali Onion loves returning, then BALI, for
-
everything you've lost.
-
Someone.
-
Loves returning. And when I heard those lyrics, I was
-
bursting in tears. Nangis because God was moving in the wind.
-
And I met Jesus more, I knew him more then.
-
Christ Luggy.
-
I had my head on Mary's thighs and I was
-
sobbing like a little baby had because Jesus touched my heart.
-
Use amen. I mean now that was a big experience,
-
and I can't say that's happened too many times in
-
my life.
-
They need to be so.
-
But the amazing thing from that experience of the wind
-
that that be how into is that since that moment
-
two years ago, you need to do every single day
-
of my life. I felt God's present.
-
Since han suggest.
-
Sometimes very small, sometimes very strong. Then this morning during worship,
-
then the is wrong, I'm gonna come back here, okay.
-
So I hope that is. I hope that it's just
-
an example that is clear about how God wants us
-
to know him. Do you know the thing about God
-
is most of the time he's a gentleman. Then gentleman,
-
he doesn't force himself on you. Apart from Saul, he
-
got kicked off a donkey can so sometimes God kicks
-
us off a donkey get our attention.
-
But most of the time he doesn't force himself on usa.
-
But do you know that's a beautiful thing then, Inda,
-
because Jesus doesn't want you to feel forced to come
-
to him used to see. He wants you to want
-
to come to him the amount. So do you know
-
do you want God to han let me tell you
-
that he has given you an invitation to a wedding.
-
Haney too, But to a wedding you got R s
-
v P. You gotta tell the bride and groom, I'm
-
coming to the wedding.
-
Bye mamboa.
-
And then after you tell them you're coming, you got
-
to get ready and go to the wedding on the day.
-
That's so good?
-
Did you.
-
We can walk?
-
So Jesus has given each and every one of you
-
an invitation to his wedding.
-
Did you to hand to don't?
-
Jesus has given you an invitation to every one of
-
you to know him. Did you do you get the
-
invitation and chuck it? Just let it sit on the table,
-
don't get you accidentally throw it in the bin? Or
-
do you get it? I thought.
-
It?
-
Do you write your R s v P config Do
-
you send it back to Jesus?
-
I thought, I know Christals Cristas.
-
And you say I'm coming.
-
Then Christmas to han in Ako.
-
And after you say you're coming, do you go then? Han?
-
So if you are here today and you're like, oh,
-
I don't really know him that much.
-
Calorang.
-
Han, don't be afraid, don't be shameful.
-
Jesus says, just come, Can, I.
-
I want you my child Sayah saying.
-
So come now, because in Jesus we have freedom. Can
-
And Jesus says, I want you to know me. Then
-
is Paul says, I really really want you.
-
To know Pristas.
-
Paul says, I pray that you have the spirit of
-
wisdom and revelations so that you may know Him better.
-
You bless.
-
It's the Holy Spirit that reveals christrists it. So if
-
you want to know God more, ask God to reveal
-
himself to you. Because the word for revelation in the
-
Greek did you.
-
Wahu the lambasa yunani ito.
-
Ready for this one? Ready? Apocalypsios apocalypsios like apocalypse? Did
-
he did this?
-
Apocalypse?
-
Do you know what it means? It means to unveil
-
what was hidden?
-
Did heap?
-
It means to make sense of what didn't make sense.
-
Some of mohammiy that longist.
-
When I was a teenager, the Bible didn't make sense.
-
To me.
-
My single mind, did you said Bahami?
-
I found it boring. But when I was sixteen, I
-
had an encounter with God.
-
On a calami cristals, money and cristals.
-
And He changed my life forever. I don't know where
-
I would be if Jesus didn't reveal himself to me, saying,
-
I told you I would be a slave to sin
-
because I was living a life of sin. Can I say,
-
but Jesus set me free? Uncle on that camp. That
-
is when I had nosco it because when I was
-
a teenager, I went to church and I learnt about Jesus.
-
I learned the Christmas story.
-
Jesus.
-
I learned that he was born in a stable. Then
-
I learned his parents, Mary and Joseph. Then I learned
-
that he was a carpenter. Then and I learned that
-
as the story. Then you go. But I didn't know
-
him personally. So my encouragement to parents for your children
-
did say, just trust that when you pray and to
-
God to reveal Jesus to your children and grandchildren, then
-
if you have faith, then one day they will gin us.
-
Go Jesus, Issus. You don't have to force them. Sometimes
-
we need to challenge them then, but we challenge out
-
of love. We don't be harsh with our children because
-
ultimately they are God's children. You think that your child
-
is your responsibility, and while that is true, then they're
-
ultimately gods. And I'm feeling right now from the Holy
-
Spirit that God's grace is on the children of.
-
G i A.
-
Then, oh, the children will know Jesus. You won't have
-
to force them to come to church. Drag you along
-
to church, and when you feel tired, the children will
-
bring you to church. I believe that God is going
-
to empower your children to shine the light of the
-
gospel to Samarang. God loves God loves the people of Samara.
-
There's millions of lost people in Samarang. But Jesus is
-
on the moon. If you don't know Jesus, if you.
-
Don't have relationship with Himus, then you don't know his
-
heart for your own city.
-
Ask God to break your heart for Samara. Ask God
-
to give you opportunities to share the love of Jesus
-
with Samara. And you are.
-
Already doing this.
-
You're giving food to the poor, you're feeding the Muslimslim.
-
You're speaking about Isa then and they will know him. Then,
-
trust that God will reveal him. He'll uncover what was
-
hidden then so they will not go to Mohammad.
-
Did Youma go to Jesus im in.
-
Just to finish it? Paul says, I pray that the
-
eyes of your heart may be enlightened so.
-
They in order that you may know the hope.
-
Epi in oscop to the hope to which he has
-
called you. Do you know what hope means from a
-
biblical perspective, because I didn't until a few months ago.
-
Gonna bloom in Alia the Australia, when we talk.
-
About things in the future, we might say, I hope
-
I get a good job, I hope I buy a house.
-
But off or for sport, I hope my team wins
-
and then they lose then, so the hope we have
-
isn't confidence my in in Australia, the Australia, we have
-
a f L Australian Football. Did It's a sport that
-
is only played in Australia a professional level.
-
Did you start?
-
And I love it? I think it's the best sport
-
in the world. Can I? But everyone I've met overseas
-
disagrees with me, then we're gonna go And that's okay.
-
Soccer is the world game. Can I? Last year? Sorry?
-
This year? This is my team that Adelaide Crows.
-
Did he tim you?
-
We finished on top of the ladder.
-
Did he ad.
-
But when the there's eighteen teams did them and the
-
top eight go to finals, then finals, and there's a
-
series of finals, semi final, the.
-
Semi final, there's three semi five semi.
-
Final and then the grand final, then finale winter and
-
two teams play off on the grand final and the
-
winner is the champion. Then for that year, Deep and
-
my team that Adelaide CROs.
-
Jedd Adelaide course.
-
They finished on top of the ladder and we hadn't
-
been in the finals for eight years then, so the
-
whole year I was skeptical about them.
-
Then they did.
-
The whole year I didn't trust them.
-
They did disa.
-
But they kept winning and they finished first. Then then
-
they went to finals, final, winch and I said, I
-
hope they win the.
-
Kamana.
-
I hope they win the Grand final.
-
But my hope wasn't confident that because.
-
I couldn't trust them, kind of are you following me?
-
Then in final, then the caffeine now and they lost,
-
and after they lost they had a second chance, and
-
now I was worried. I said, I hope they win.
-
I hope they win. And guess what happened? Then they
-
lost and after winning all year.
-
Did you said that monoes we lost and we lost callakala.
-
Over like that, sir, see you in twenty twenty six.
-
Then well we have to start again.
-
Then how is.
-
However that be? When the Bible talks about hope.
-
The Galagapan, it's a ground it's grounded in a hope
-
that is confident.
-
Pan young young yakim, because we know Jesus died and rose.
-
Again, gonna kita Cristus young bank, and we.
-
Know he's coming back. Jesus is one hundred percent coming back.
-
Lui.
-
So when the Bible says to have hope, did it's
-
a hope that is grounded in the truth that Jesus
-
is coming. It's a hope that's grounded that in your
-
situations you might not feel like there's a way through.
-
Did You might say, how are we going to get
-
through this obstacle? But because of our hope in Christristus,
-
he will bring us through. So we will get to
-
the end of our life and we can look back
-
and we can say, by the grace of God, Jesus
-
got me through. I speak to the elder people, do
-
you know this is true? Jesus has got you through
-
every challenge. There were times in your life when you
-
said I don't know if I will get through. But
-
you sit here today and you can say Jesus got.
-
Me through.
-
Some true Amen. Amen? So does that make sense? Our
-
hope isn't it might happen? Did you? Jerdy? The truth
-
is it will happen, Jerdy. So Paul says, did he
-
polish in your heart? I want you to know the
-
hope we have in Jesus.
-
Did he polish monarchs?
-
Because we have a sure Jesus, young pasty, we can
-
trust Jesus, but Cristals he won't let us. I mean,
-
does that make sense? Nearly there? And he says, I
-
want you to know the glorious inheritance.
-
The holy people, the bay Paul, Spaya, y Man and
-
and Kmerian.
-
But we have an inheritance in Jesus, Jesus.
-
On when our parents pass away, they give us an inheritance.
-
And sometimes we are in a family where we get
-
a lot then and sometimes we're in a family where
-
we get nothing. But as God's child, as God's son,
-
as God's daughter, we have a glorious Inheritancelia, and we
-
have relationship with Jesus Jesus. Relationship with Jesus is the
-
most important thing in our life, Cristos, because only Jesus fulfills,
-
not education, not luxury, book and not all these good
-
things in our lives. That they are a blessing. It is,
-
but not when it comes before Jesus. Only Jesus satisfied,
-
and Jesus has given so much we have relationship with him, then, Cristos,
-
we have a new identity.
-
Esus.
-
He says he will protect us. Then he says he
-
will provide every need. Then he says he has a
-
calling for our lives. Each and every one of us
-
has purpose. And we can only know our purpose if
-
we have Osco with if we have episco with Jesus.
-
You know, so many people strive their purpose. When I try,
-
I try, I try, Some people give up. They say
-
it's too hard. When and when you look around your
-
situation from a worldly perspective, house it might make sense.
-
But from a kingdom perspective, we have a greater reality.
-
We have a purpose. So today did God wants you
-
to know him better. He wants you to know your
-
identity in Christ. And as part of that, he will
-
show us our purpose. Then and part of that is
-
to love people. Then you have a transformed her. That
-
we aren't full of lust, that we aren't full of greed,
-
then that we aren't full of desire for wealth, that
-
we aren't full of slander and gossip, but we deeply
-
care about people. We deeply love people. Through the can
-
and on that, Paul says, I want you to know
-
in your heart the incomparably great power. Then for us
-
who believe the same power that raised Christ Christ and
-
seated him next to the throne of God, that power
-
is in you. That power is in you, That power
-
is in the child. That's what Paul is saying. The
-
power that is so big, young, that is so great
-
you you can't measure it, you can't compare. That is
-
our inheritance in Christristus. So are we walking in power?
-
I don't know about you, but where I come from,
-
lots of Christians don't walk in power, Tuhan, because we
-
don't have EPI in Osco with ges. So God wants
-
you right now to open.
-
Your heart say I need you, I desire you, change
-
my heart.
-
Help me to see Holy Spirit reveal Gesus to me,
-
reveal the Father's lacause Ephesian three says we have to
-
be rooted and grounded in love. We're not meant to
-
be rooted and grounded in fear. We're not meant to
-
be rooted and grounded in worry. I need because Jesus
-
has given us everything.
-
Can I.
-
That, amen? I mean? And we see that Jesus is
-
above every power in heaven and dinner, and Godess placed
-
all things under his feet. Then, and he is the
-
head over everything for the church, which is his body,
-
young man, the fullness of him young He feels everything
-
in every way. Jesus wants to feel you, Yes, with
-
more of Him and with the Holy Spirit. And and
-
to finish I keep asking, then see when I had
-
my wind experience that was powerful? Yeah, it was. But
-
if I said God revealed himself to me, then now
-
I just do whatever I want. I would go away
-
from christalk Cristals, I would lose. I would lose. But
-
that experience encouraged me to hunger for more of God.
-
You don't like Cristals because I've heard this analogy?
-
Can I say, I'm a.
-
When we eat food in the physical, the more we get,
-
the more fool we get, and we gotta undo the
-
belts and we gotta go.
-
I had too much then, and your grandma, they.
-
Say you're too skinny. Lug eat more, and he said,
-
I'm two fold. No more lag, but with kingdom, with
-
the spiritual food.
-
So as the more we.
-
Taste of Jesus, the hungry are weak. So when I
-
tasted Jesus through the winds, did.
-
Onion ito, it made me want more of him. Don't
-
tell that slug you don't like.
-
You, Cristals, because my heart is free in Jesus Lass.
-
So after that Friday night at ten thirty, did the
-
next day I pray more of you Lord, have you Sunday,
-
more of your Lord.
-
Like you lucky.
-
Monday, more of you Lord is an Indian. And Tuesday,
-
maybe I get busy, then book, maybe I get distracted.
-
Distra God says, don't worry my child, just come back belong.
-
We don't need to beat ourselves up if we forget
-
to read the Bible one day. We don't need to
-
beat ourselves up if we forget to pray one day.
-
Jesus isn't worried it. Come, I want relationship. Come amen, amen.
