Let's pray. Let's get ready to move. Father God, thank you so much Lord. What a

wonderful day it is for us as a body to gather together and praise you for who

your will in this place Holy Spirit. Thank you so much for your wonderful

wonderful wonderful wonderful presence Lord. What a wonderful presence it is and

I pray that Holy Spirit accomplish what you what we what we have been resisting

Lord. Accomplish us Lord Holy Spirit. Thank you so much in Jesus name I pray.

Amen. Amen. Let's read couple of verses from the scripture and then let's move

on. As we know Jacob started a series two weeks ago. He started to talk about the

ministry of the Holy Spirit and those who have been in Australia so it's like

I'm recapping this one because they're from my house yet so I need to take care

of them. Okay so two weeks ago Jacob started the series on the ministry of

the Holy Spirit. The first week he talked about, do you guys know? Oh

very good. So the first week he talked about the blazing ministry of the Holy

Spirit and last week he talked about the glorious ministry of the Holy Spirit and

today I'm gonna talk about the ambassadorial ministry of Holy Spirit.

The ambassadorial ministry of Holy Spirit. In India we have we used to have a car model

ambassador. Do you remember? I went to Jacob's home in Kochi to meet Jacob's

mother and then I saw this ambassador car there. It's a brand of India. It was a

brand of India at the time but now it's no more in service. They are not making

it. Today God has called us. You know when we accept Christ we

enjoy God as our Father. We enjoy God as our healer and some of you have shared

your stories and testimonies. We have experienced God's grace,

God's mercy and God's glory in our life and in fact a day to day that's how we

live. That's what drives us to move forward but at the same time everyone

has called for something like God has called each one of us for different

purposes. That's what the body is. Body is made by different parts. Some are

like hands, some are like hearts, some are like feet. It's like everyone has a

different role to play in the body but there is one common

calling for each one of us. That one common calling for each one of us is

ambassadorial calling. Everything that you do on this earth, every ministry that

you do or however you want to do ministry or however you want to live

the life that Christ wants us to live, it has ambassadorial calling at the

beginning. Whether you worship, whether you go and preach or whether you do

ministry among orphans or whether you build schools or whether you

build roads or whether you develop programs like I do, computer programs

whatever it is but everything behind that there is a prime

calling for all of us that is ambassadorial because Christ

when he was ascending to heaven that's what he did, that's what he

gave us and we know we all talk about that Matthew chapter 28 verse 16, verse

Matthew 28:16

17, verse 18 that's what we talk about that God, Jesus Christ he sent us in his

authority to into the world to make disciples. He sent his disciples to make

disciples so that everyone can be part of his wonderful calling. So whatever you

do, whatever ministry or whatever however we are we are pursuing our calling or

living out our lives the prime the the prime calling of our life on this earth

is to become is to be an ambassador for God. Today that's what we are gonna learn

that's what we're gonna learn how Holy Spirit, how does he how does he do this

ministry in our life and how we have to do how we are supposed to do live this

life on this earth. God has called us with ambassador calling he sent us into

this world as an ambassador but before doing that Holy Spirit did his calling

just like how we have to do how we are supposed to do Holy Spirit has actually

done this ambassadorial ministry in our life so that we can know that and then we

can live that one and that's what we're gonna do that's what we're gonna learn.

So the first part is how Holy Spirit has actually done this ambassadorial ministry

and the second part is how can we live that one how can we how can we move that

one how can we live in this world with that ambassador calling. Let's read a

couple of verses and then move and then go into the topic. Acts chapter 10 these

Acts 10 · chapter mention

are familiar verses these are very familiar verses for us because we've been

learning about the Holy Spirit and the purpose of the church the mission of the

church. Acts chapter 10 verse 38.

Acts 10:38

Acts chapter 10 verse 38.

Acts 10:38

Acts chapter 10 verse 38.

Acts 10:38

How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power and how he went

around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil

because God was with him. Acts chapter 2 or Acts chapter 1 verse 8.

Acts 2 · chapter mention Acts 1:8

Or 6. So when they met together they asked Jesus Lord are you at this time

restore the kingdom to Israel and Jesus said to them it is not for you to know

the times or dates the father has set by his own authority but you will receive

power when the Holy Spirit comes on you and you will be my witness

in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth.

Acts chapter 2 verse 1. When the day of Pentecost came they were all together in

Acts 2:1

one place suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from

heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting and they saw what seemed

to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them

were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the

spirit enabled them. Isaiah chapter 61.

Isaiah 61 · chapter mention

The spirit of the sovereign Lord is upon me because the Lord has anointed me to

preach good news to the poor. He has set me to bind up the brokenhearted to

proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners

to proclaim the ear of the Lord's favor and the day of vengeance of our God to

comfort all who mourn and to provide for those who grieve in Zion to bestow on

them a crown of beauty instead of ashes the oil of gladness instead of mourning and the

garment of praise instead of spirit of despair. They will be called the oaks of

righteousness for the display a planting a planting of the Lord for the display

of his splendor. Matthew chapter 28.

Matthew 28 · chapter mention

Verse 17. When they saw him they worshiped him but some doubted then Jesus came to them and said

all authority in heaven and on the earth has been given to me therefore go and make disciples of

all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit and teaching

them to obey everything I have commanded you and surely I am with you always to the very end of

the age. These are very familiar verses. Father attracted us. The God the Father he called us he

attracted us. He attracted us with his love. That's what Romans 8 Romans 5 Romans 6 Romans 8

what a wonderful chapters. God demonstrates his own love for us in this while we are still sinners

Christ died for us and no one no one can come to come to come to him unless father attracts him

unless father father attracts him father God the Father he attracted you and me he he called you

and me to him right before the foundations of the earth he loved you he loved you and me and he called

you to be with him because we were separated because we were created to be with him to enjoy

him to worship him to glorify him but because of the sin we were separated but but while we are

still sinners God he himself gave his life upon the cross so that we can come to him because Jesus

is the only way there is no other name other name under which the salvation was granted. So God the

Father he called us and when Jesus Christ was ascending ascending to heaven he said all authority

in heaven and earth all the authority and power is given to me and now I am sending you and now I'm

sending you. I went to India last two months ago when I was in India I was speaking at this pastors

conference and these pastors come from a province called Orissa where where where it's very hard to

go and preach gospel outside that's they are very very hard on gospel because 14 years ago they

burnt alive missionary family from from Australia that's the kind of province you can't go you can't

even drive a car that has cross or that has written any any any Christian words on it because they're

gonna they're gonna smash the car because that's the kind of province and in that province there

were like 400 pastors doing ministry in a remote villages and and I was invited it was such a

humbling experience for me to go and then to encourage them with the word of God I was asking

Lord what should I speak so I was there I was talking to them and what I asked one guy about

his experience on about his experience doing ministry amongst the villages one story that

stuck in my heart that stuck in my mind he said G when I went to a village and when I went to the

village the village people they came to me they surrounded me and then they said who gave you the

authority who gave you the permission to come and then preach the gospel I didn't know what to do

even but I was I was asking the Holy Spirit to give me the right words as promised in the scripture

the Holy Spirit gave me the right words and I said you know Jesus Christ sent me with his authority

because he has the authority and power on all heavens and the earth he said he said he said

given the moment I released those words from my mouth everybody was like they stepped back it is

like it was like as if there was a power release and everybody everybody stepped back and they kept

quiet and I did not stop I start I kept continuing sharing the gospel and now that's where I built my

church that's stuck in here because all the authority and the power is given to Christ and

in his name we are sent in his name in that authority we are sent but for us to first to

go and do the ministry we need the power we have the love of father and we have the authority given

by Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit when he comes upon us he empowers us he gives power he gives

power that's why even though after Jesus Christ ascend Jesus Christ left the disciples and then

when he went to the heaven they had to wait for a few more days get gathered together praying with

one heart one accord praying with one desire for the promise of the Holy Spirit and Holy Spirit

descended on them and today that's what the Holy Spirit he wants to do yes of course we have it

yes of course for us to for us to confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord and Savior we have to

do that in the Holy Spirit unless with the help of the God unless with the help of Holy Spirit

we cannot see God because God has to help us we cannot find him he finds us if I can find God

I am greater than God I cannot find God unless God attracts me unless God helps me unless God

helps me to walk in the way and then see him so we we we accept Christ we acknowledge Christ as

the Savior and Lord because of the because of the presence of Holy Spirit because of the work of the

Holy Spirit but when we are sent into the world we need power to manifest we need power to live

that calling and then that power comes from the Holy Spirit and that's what that's what Acts chapter

Acts 2 · chapter mention

2 that's what that's what we read in Acts chapter 2 the Holy Spirit he rested on the

Acts 2 · chapter mention

two hundred and twenty he rested on the people and that's what Jacob said for the past two weeks

right from the beginning of the right from the beginning right from the beginning of the creation

Holy Spirit was hovering he was hovering on the chaos he was hovering where there is no form but

every time when he was hovering there is a form every time when there is a chaos when the Holy

Spirit was hovering on the chaos there is order God because that's what Holy Spirit does and in

the Old Testament Holy Spirit would come and then do the under the chaos Holy Spirit would come and

then he would speak to people and even when in fact when Jesus Christ when he when Jesus Christ

came up from the water in his back on his baptism day Holy Spirit Holy Spirit came in the form of

the dove and rested on him but the down might have gone might have flew again from Jesus Christ

because it's a dove it cannot rest on Jesus but Acts chapter 2 Acts chapter 2 that's where the

Acts 2 · chapter mention Acts 2 · chapter mention

Holy Spirit came and rested on us rested on those disciples finally finally Holy Spirit found the

his favorite resting place that is you and me his favorite resting place that is you and me and I

was wondering from the from the beginning of the creation the Holy Spirit was on the move he was

always moving he was always moving he was always that's why Jesus said he's like a wind you don't

know where he comes wind comes from you don't know where wind goes you can only feel you can only

understand you can only see when the wind when he comes to you and and he does he undoes things in

our life but Acts chapter 2 he rested on the people though the God the Holy Spirit the God

Acts 2 · chapter mention

the triune God the third person of the God of the triune God Holy Spirit he was on the move and

finally he rested and finally he rested on Jeevan finally he rested on the church finally he rested

on you finally he rested on us because you know why so that you and I can move so that you and I

can go so that you and I can go because Holy Spirit because God himself he made our bodies

as his temple and then now Jesus is like now we have this mandate to go because you because the

Holy Spirit is resting on us and now we take Holy Spirit because Holy because it's a wonderful

privilege for us to for us to go as God sends as an ambassador that's why that's why when we

accept Christ and that's what that's a mandate that's the prime calling of each one of us each

one of us whatever we are doing we are doing it's a form of ministry but the calling all for all of

us is to be an ambassador to for to be an ambassador recently we have been watching the news that

Jerusalem has been they made they moved the US moved the embassy from to Jerusalem and when you

know if you are an ambassador in a different country the country where you are hosting the

country where you are staying the host country is not your home country and if you are an ambassador

in this world this world is not yours our home is not this is not our home that's what that's

for second Corinthians 2 16 says 6 16 says that yes we are the city we are not citizens of this

world we are citizens of heaven this is not our home we come from different home we have a

different home we go to a different home we are ambassadors on this earth we are temporary here

the first thing as an ambassador as an ambassador the first and foremost thing we have to we have

to always remember that this is not our home this is not our home this is not our home that's

what King Solomon says in Ecclesiastes like you you come with nothing and then you go with nothing

because this is not your home God has sent us and he has set us apart and and this is not our home

because our citizenship is in a different country that's what the ambassador's prime identity is he

doesn't belong to the country where he is staying and always we have to as an ambassador of Christ

always we have to we have to make sure that we believe this and we know that and we live according

to that that yes this is not my country yes there are I have all the positions or I have all this

and everything I see this is not my country my citizenship is not in here I belong to a different

country I belong to a different world that's a prime that's the first one as an ambassador we

have to keep reminding ourselves that I don't belong here Philippians 320 our citizenship is

in heaven and you got the citizenship because somebody paid for you and that somebody is Christ

himself you got this citizenship because somebody bought you somebody paid for you somebody

bought you somebody gave everything somebody emptied himself so that you can have this wonderful

citizenship the second one as a Christians we yeah we know that this is not our citizenship this is

this is this is this is not the place where we belong and that's why that's what that's what even

just when in his prayer in John chapter 17 that's what he prays that we don't belong to this world

John 17 · chapter mention

that's why we go through different kinds of situations that's like no one else does everything

is easy for the others but for us it's like we have to go through a different ways because

because this is not our country we are foreigners here the second and foremost thing I would

encourage all of us to to trust is we have to trust the authority protection immunity and promise

of our home country if we are an ambassador and living in that in that in another country my home

country protects me and you come from a different country and that different country is the kingdom

of God that is our country heaven is our country kingdom of God is our country the culture of

kingdom of God is our culture the values of kingdom of God is our values the resources of

kingdom of God are our resources everything that's why Jesus Christ when he when he said to Peter

that okay I'll build my church upon you and then he said I'll give you the keys of kingdom I'll

give you the keys of kingdom one faith and another prayer so whatever you unlock in the

kingdom of heaven that's what you get because our country our whole is the kingdom of God that's

why that's why you and I when people see us that's what that's why when people people see us it is

like oh these people are from different country because their rules are different their culture

is different their their resources are different their provision is different because we live as

far our home country we live as per the rules of our home country and we know we don't have rules

we only have love we live as per the law of our home country that's why that's why Jesus Christ

said you are the light and you are the salt of this world and now I'm sending you and that's why

that's why then if we when we read Isaiah chapter 61 it's a wonderful promise wonderful wonderful

Isaiah 61 · chapter mention

wonderful verse promise and this is what we are sent we are sent for the spirit of the sovereign

Lord is upon you upon me because the Lord has anointed us anointed you anointed me to preach

the good news to the poor he sent me to he sent us to bind up the broken-hearted or to proclaim

freedom and when you we can keep on reading the sixth chapter 61 and these are all the these are

these are all the things that we take into the world from our home country to the host country

from our home country to the host country so as a Christians we start to live we have we start to

live every day as if we are like okay this is my home country and Lord who whoever whatever you say

I am in heaven that's what I am here couple of couple of weeks ago I went to this Princeton

one camp a beautiful camp Rockridge Canyon camp it was it's beautiful beautiful camp wonderful

creation of God I took a photograph and it's a the mountain beautiful mountain and there is a

lake and exact exact mirror image of the mountain is on the water when I was taking that photo God

spoke to me that yes look at the mountain that's how who you are in heaven and your image is on

the water on here anybody can if someone if somebody throws a stone on the into the water

then it distort is the image but it cannot destroy the image our problems are our situations are our

things the little little things that creates ripples in our lives they can distort the image

for a short time but when you rest when the water comes to rest when you rest when you start to

learn to rest in the presence of God our image can be you can you can again see it but our image

cannot be destroyed because Christ has securely he has secured it with the power of the Holy Spirit

whoever we are in heaven that's what we are here because that is our home country whatever is true

there that is true who you if we have if you are moving spiritually spiritually there that means

physically we move that's what the James said as you grow in spirit you grow in all the other

things as an end person as a when I was I'm still young though when I was in India that's what my

mom told me if you want to get well in your studies go and growing growing your spirit if you want to

get well good health go and grow in your spirit for everything she would say growing spirit because

as you grow you will grow in every area of your life because that's what who you are that's what

who we are with that's what we sang in a song beautiful beautiful song the last one I guess I

am who you say I am I am who you say I am Lord because God says that's what your image and the

ripples all the small stones or the ripples or people kayaking in the water may distract the image

for a couple of seconds but when I start to learn to rest I can understand my image I know who God

is so the second one we have to trust the authority that God has given to us we have to trust the

provision that God will take care of it you have to we have to trust the protection that God will

protect because that's what true in heaven in the kingdom of God and that's what true in our life

if you want to trust that if you want to if you want if you want to be sure of who we are we

constantly have to build relationship we constantly have to enjoy his relationship the more we enjoy

the more you start to see the mountain I was there for one or two evening and the night and

the morning evening I just saw the mountain but the next day morning I went to I went there to

do morning devotion the more time I was spending at the mountain looking at the mountain the more

details I started to find and what a beauty it was and I was like y'all are the more I look at

you the more I look at you the more beauty is revealed what a beauty it is so we have to trust

and we and we have to build that beautiful relationship day by day and that's what the

church is for and the third one third one we have to learn to live from hosts from home to the host

not host to the host because this world is our host country pilgrims I don't know we have to live

this is our host country and as the as the people of God as the children of God as the image-bearers

as the ambassadors of God we have to live for everything every day we have to live as per the

home country home country to host country rather than host to host our source has to be the home

and if our source be the host the next person or the how the world changes all the culture this

culture then we miss home and we become hosted to host and that's what the Old Testament is all

about in the Old Testament God would say when you go to that country do not mingle with them or do

not join with them do not do this do not do not go with them do not stand with them do not sit

with them you know because if you do that you will become host to host but but you are called by me

you are my son I am I am your father I will take care of you this is like home to host that is why

when we when we pray for someone or when we pray for others or in every situation or wherever we

are that's what that's what immediately we have to think okay this is what the world is saying this

is what it is this is what's happening but I don't want it I don't want to do host to host but I want

to do home to host Lord what are you saying in the kingdom Lord what is it Lord that becomes

true here so so so so it's as we want to we want to live like that everybody wants to live like that

like home to the host but there are some but but most of the times we end up becoming and sometimes

we end up becoming host to host I was thinking about it and and I came up with a couple of couple

of reasons why we become host to host one of the reason we become we become host to host is because

because we ignore Holy Spirit we don't care we don't respond we don't respond we accepted Christ

and then we started our living and then and then we don't respond to God we don't respond to God

because we we built our own methodologies we built our own thinking and we say okay this is how Holy

Spirit works and this is what Holy Spirit works and that's it or this is how God works and this is

things work and that's it because as we grow as we keep keep growing or as we as we growing in our

age our five senses become more active than our spirit sense that's a big danger there because

you have more experience in fact when I talked to my Sunday school teachers back in India I was like

my goodness you have such a faith man I was I was having a meeting with them and then they said that

there is a lot of persecution that's happening in Nandigama now the the Hindu radicals are coming

in and they know three guys they were our Sunday school teachers they were going to a village and

then they stopped them and they were not allowed to enter into the village so they came back and

then they called me and then I was talking to them I was trying to encouraging them like okay don't

worry God is good they said no no brother we are going next time and I said why are you going they

already gave you warning that if you come next time they will beat you he said who cares who cares

that's what that's what God has called us for we are going we trust that God will do something and

even if he doesn't if even if things won't go as we thought that's okay okay maybe I'm in Canada

so as we grow what happens is like our five senses become more active our

experience become more active the things we saw the things we we have seen in our

lives has become so so rigid and we miss the we miss the relationship we miss the sense of

spirit sense where we don't we don't ask the God Lord what is this and then we try to figure out

things so so in fact in fact Paul was so so so so so so worried about this Philippians chapter

three Philippians chapter three in fact Paul he was crying and he gave one word to them it's

not from me it's I'm so thankful that we don't have people like this in our church for

as I have often Philippians chapter 3 verse 18 for as I have often told you before and now say

Philippians 3:18

again even with the tears he's writing to the church in Philippians he's like I have told you

many times and now even now I'm saying and I told you I say with my tears he was crying with his

agony he said many live as enemies of the cross of Christ many live as the enemies of the cross

of Christ and their destiny is destruction their God is their stomach I've seen these people in my

life what amazing amazing life they've begun and then they end up being like their stomach is their

God thankfully that we don't want that that's the first one so we don't we don't respond to God we

don't follow God we don't we don't respond to Holy Spirit the second one is

we want to live from host from home to the host but we end up living sometimes host to

host for that the second reason is I was talking to Sheldon yesterday we were talking we were

discussing about this that the first category is like okay they don't respond they don't even

listen the second category they respond they listen to God God reveals to them amazing things

God reveals his truth to them but yet they try to achieve that in their human ways that's the

second one and that's what the problem from the from from the beginning of the creation Eve she

wanted to become like God because everybody even all of us we want to become like God we want to

become like Christ and Eve she wanted to become like Christ become like God that's why she ate

the fruit that's what the deception was the enemy said if you eat this you will become like God and

you will know the distinction between truth good and evil and Eve was like yeah I want that but

whereas God has created her in his own image her desire was good but the way she followed was

wrong in fact Peter in fact Peter in Mark chapter 8 in all of our households we learned this in

Mark 8 · chapter mention

Mark chapter 8 when Peter got the revelation that Jesus Christ is the Messiah the Christ the Son of

Mark 8 · chapter mention

God the Messiah immediately Peter immediately Jesus told them that okay now I must die and Peter

goes like no you're not dying and then Peter took Jesus aside he started to he started to

rebuke Jesus and Jesus turned against Peter and then said hey get behind me Satan Peter knew

Peter got this wonderful revelation that yes Jesus Christ is the Messiah and he's gonna restore

his kingdom he's gonna build his kingdom but Peter was Peter wanted that to happen in his own ways

that's why oh how can Messiah die no you're not dying and then he started to rebuke Jesus we get

wonderful revelations about Christ we get God reveals beautiful things and we know what God what

father wants sometimes when we ask Holy Spirit when we ask God God reveals what is gonna happen

because that's what his nature he wants to share what's gonna happen because he treats us as his

friends and we know that but in order for that to happen we follow our own human ways whereas we

have to follow a spirit ways we get the revelation but that revelation we get the truth but that

truth we get what God wants but whatever God wants we want to do that in our own human ways and we

start to find resources from host to host host to host whereas we are supposed to call God what is

your way what is your way what is your way how do you want me to do I always share my testimony

about my job it was a wonderful journey for me nine months was waiting for a job and one day Jacob

called me and the Jacob said given God is gonna give you a job which you don't have to carry your

resume and I'm like okay but that so far I researched about Canada they want a beautiful

resume I have to create more beautiful resumes because Indian resumes are same resumes just change

the name and all of a sudden I got this I was like I was waiting Lord okay Lord what do you want me

to do what do you want me to do and then God spoke to me from Psalm 142 what should I do and I was

following it I was doing that and one day I received an email saying hey buddy there is a

position you want to come you want to apply and then I said you want to apply you want to come

for interview tomorrow and I said I don't have a resume I need to I will create a resume and then

upload it to you and he said don't worry about it whatever you have sent to me and I said I have

my resume from seven years ago doesn't matter if it has your name just send it to me that's it

God reveals what he wants to do and our we Lord what is your way what is your way what is your

way because he is the one who is gonna help us to do it because he is the one in that process he's

gonna teach us in that process of what a journey it will be so that's the second one when God

reveals something let's not find our own ways let's not do it in our own ways of course we want to do

it of course Peter wanted okay God is gonna restore his kingdom and now a king cannot die so I have

to protect him that's why Peter even he drew his sword at the end onto the onto the soldiers

it is very possible it is very much possible to see God to enjoy God and not follow his ways

imagine Eve she was in the wonderful presence of God Adam and Eve but yet they have they have

free will to to this away Peter he was with Christ he gave everything he was with Christ he

walked with Christ and yet he wanted to do that in his own way it is very much possible for us to

have wonderful relationship and awesome awesome revelation what a beautiful relationship with

Christ and what a wonderful revelations about him and yet try to do it on our own way in the

next minute let's seek him let's seek his ways may the Lord lead us and the third one

you can lie to Holy Spirit you can lie to Holy Spirit when we lie to Holy Spirit we live host

host we find source from the world that's what happened in Acts chapter 5 where Ananias and

Acts 5 · chapter mention

Sapphira they both died they both said yes yes we we sold out everything and this is what we have

whereas they kept something and we are and and that's what Peter's did Peter said you are not

lying to man you are lying to God it is so possible for us to lie to Holy Spirit saying yes

Holy Spirit yes God this is what everything I have I give my life this is what I have I want to

surrender my life this is everything I've got everything I've got is yours all I have is yours

wonderful singing wonderful submission but at the same time we keep something for ourselves some of

the things for ourselves it is so possible to lie Holy Spirit when we lie to Holy Spirit we try to

find our resources we try to find everything from host to host whereas we are supposed to see from

home everything because we are ambassadors in this world we are ambassadors in this world it is very

possible it is very possible to have wonderful relationship with the God amazing things and yet

try to do our own things because one thing that struck me when I was reading acts of the book of

access like acts said about Stephen it said he is full of Holy Spirit Paul he is full of Holy Spirit

but Peter he's full of Holy Spirit full of Holy Spirit they're filled with Holy Spirit that received

Holy Spirit full of Holy Spirit what a wonderful description about those people what a wonderful

description about those people maybe maybe God wants for us that it's like oh even full of Holy

Spirit are you full of Holy Spirit because that's what his desire is where we get the revelation we

want to do in his own way we want to live for him we want to do this way because that's what that's

what our lives are we don't have any other life than in the kingdom whatever there that is here

otherwise we try to find souls from host to host host to host and and one thing that that can happen

to us is is is we get so much we get so much interested in the knowledge of God or in the in

the about him and and our personal life and we get stuck here whereas God always wants us to move

always wants us to go always wants us to go one thing that we have to do as a church is is to go

to move in fact Jacob recently told us our church that guys so far we have concentrated on our self

build now it's time for us to open doors because there are so many people waiting for to enter here

so one thing is like we have to go and you you might be you might you might say that given I'm

physically I'm I'm immobile I cannot go because of these things or I cannot move because of things

but one thing we have to remember is is Paul was Paul was in the prison he cannot move physically

he was physically he was immobile mobile but yet he started to write letters to church that moved

many people so you might be physically immobile immobile you very you can't you don't have freedom

to go as Jacob does you don't have freedom to move as Jacob moves but yet if you if we start to

follow Holy Spirit if we start to we start to follow his ways he always has a way for us to

move even though we are physically immobile and physically mobile people this is time for us to

go because there will be a day where we won't be able to be mobile and as an ambassadors

ambassadors ambassadors or ambassadors into the world the world needs us that's what the

as the Isaiah chapter 61 when we read that you see broken people you see people in the darkness

Isaiah 61 · chapter mention

you see people in the prison you see people with ashes you see people with people moaning and that's

what the world is open your Facebook and then look at all the posts that's happening just for just

for 15 minutes and then you will see most of the posts are somebody was moaning or somebody

somewhere there's a battle or somebody is trying to have having a battle with identity crisis all

these crisis and and and that's where God is sending us because we know where we come from we

know what we have that's what the world is and that's why we are being sent I just want to read

again the Isaiah chapter 61 and then close when we read the Isaiah chapter 61 and now now ask Holy

Isaiah 61 · chapter mention Isaiah 61 · chapter mention

Spirit and look at how the world is and where God wants us to go the spirit of the sovereign

Lord is upon me because the Lord has anointed me to preach good news to the poor there are poor

people they need good news there are poor people they need they need good news he has sent me to

bind up the broken-hearted there are broken-hearted someone needs to go and bind up their heart because

their heart is broken so much that it's shattered into pieces to proclaim freedom for the captives

there are people in captives in addiction in captives in the in their hands were tied up their

hearts were tied up they cannot they're captives but they need freedom and Holy Spirit has anointed

us to go and proclaim the freedom and there are people in the prisoners release from darkness for

the prisoners there are people in the darkness and their prisoners and they need they need release

there are people there are people where we need to go and proclaim God's favor God's love and

comfort comfort the people who are mourning and provide for those who grieve in Zion we are the

ones who needs to go and then give them a crown of beauty instead of ashes because they're because

it's not it's because they deserve ashes but God's grace is so much wonderful that it gives

unmerited favor there are people mourning instead of mourning we need to give them oil of gladness

there are people who are whose spirits are in despair and we need to go and then give them garment

of praise because God is the one who restores everything that we lost and you and I will be

called oaks of righteousness because we are planted as the righteous people in this world and when

people see us it displays the glory the splendor of him because Holy Spirit he wants to move through

us because he rested upon me the one who was on the move he rested so that the one who is resting

can move I pray for our church that this is the time this is the time this is the time for us to

move I don't know where God is calling you to the poor or to your neighbor or to your friend or

anywhere this is the time I asked God I didn't I shared this one with Jacob and with our house

house church I asked Lord Lord okay Lord this is what you're teaching this is what we are learning

and now I'm going to work open the door what shall I do open the door and then there I received an

email from a guy in our company saying hey Jeevan please check this link I open the link and it's

all audio messages of watchman need and I'm like okay this guy is a Christian I looked at the cubicle

where he where he works I went and then I looked at him oh this guy okay because I never talked to

him I came back and then I replied saying thanks for sending and this is what the Lord spoke to me

today and then he replied back thanks we should meet let's do let's do it so we both went and

they went into a break room into a meeting room and we both was started to share our stories and

share our meals and then I asked him what made you to email me how do you know me and he said

Jeevan one day I was I was passing by I saw your screen I think there is something about God and

and and this morning I was I typed this email and I was asking Lord and then your face literally

popped up so he emailed me and then I told him for past two years I've been praying about this

for many days our church started to talk about this about about God will open doors for you

wherever you are and now every day I come most of the time I spend here and then there is no way

that's what I've been thinking about it and then he said I've been praying the same prayer for the

past 15 years Jeevan. God is on the move God is working God is on the move when we are on the

move I'll close with this beautiful story that we Don and I Betty we went to a worship center

conference beautiful story amazing story may the Lord speaks with us through this story

she's she she works in downtown Eastside and summarizing the story she works in downtown

Eastside with the people with the destitute's with the people drug addicts and stuff like that so she

started a small I don't know ministry and two young people they started to volunteer with her

and then they fell in love and they want to get married and then they wanted to get married where

they met first time and then they met first time in downtown East Hastings where all the drug addicts

were there so they cleaned all the stuff and then it was all messy it was all the all stinking but

yet they they cleaned it and then they they started to perform the wedding and and red carpet and then

bride and groom they were walking and then there comes a little girl she throws the flowers and

then someone in the back they yell that oh there is a free food when they heard free food because

for them they have never they for them they have never witnessed a wedding on East Hastings who

will get married at East Hastings for them it's so unbelievable so they were they looked they were

like okay there's a free food and everybody was there so they were like she said almost like 200

some people were there and she was performing the wedding and all of a sudden when she was

performing the wedding there is a big trash bin dumpster big dumpster and then when she was

performing the wedding and all of a sudden there is a sound and then there comes a guy he he he

got up and then he saw and then he went he went back in and after the wedding she went there and

she knocked and then she said hello what's the name hello Don she was like hello Jeehun hello

hello buddy and then he opened up and then he said she said what you see is real he might be

thinking that it's a dream because no one gets married there she said it's so real dude get up

it's so real you have free food get up and that's what that's what's happening in the kingdom of God

right God is doing God is performing weddings God is performing God is performing his ministry God

is on the move in the places where you and I can never imagine but we as a church we go to the

comfort zone and then where we see and then this cannot be God and then we go into our comfort zone

but as a church as a church that's what we need to do as the people of call people of God who are

called as ambassadors into the world we need to step out we need to step up from our comfort zone

we need to step out from from this host world because this is not our home comfort is not our

calling we have to step out and then see what God is doing what God is performing what God is doing

and then we have to enjoy we have to participate in that wedding one of the one of the thing that

Jesus said when you receive the Holy Spirit when Holy Spirit comes upon you you will you will

receive power and then you will be my witness I was looking at the definition of the witness and

one of the beautiful witness is one of the beautiful definition of the witness that I really really

really liked it it is like at the wedding where you see people get two people getting married and

then you sign witness and that's what's happening it's a Holy Spirit who is preparing his bride who

is preparing the bride for Jesus Christ he is going and then he's like yeah you belong to my

bride you are my bride and he's changing their lives and you and I we go to we attend that

wedding and then say yes Lord I am here I see this testimony be the witness let's be the witness as

a church as God is performing the weddings outside he is doing everything to reach somebody and

that's what we sing a song reckless love here he reached he leaves everything and then for one

person he reaches there and then today you and I want to be witness for that one that's the calling

of our church that's what that's that's what that's there is a joy there is a wonderful joy in

attending that wedding everywhere it's happening everywhere I haven't told this to Jacob but I have

the week after Jacob said okay okay let's God is preparing so many people to come to our church

let's prepare for that and I was called to speak at a small Bible study group amongst international

students I spoke and then she told me which stitch do you attend I said acts 29 and then she

said there were like 16 people some 16 12 12 to 16 people with that and then she said these guys

they never heard about Christ but they come here and then they accept at Christ and they don't have

a church to go do you think your church accepts them God is on the move God is working let's get

up participate in the wedding that the Lord is doing because it's his Holy Spirit who attracts

people and it is Christ who made the way and it is father who attracted them and it is who and I

having Holy Spirit in us having Holy Spirit in us have to move go to places because Holy Spirit

found you and me as the his favorite resting place otherwise he would have he would be moving

I don't want Holy Lord let's pray because it's already four o'clock
