Sunday Message - Bishop Arun Michael (August 11, 2019) | Life Bible Church

The topic this morning is God's wonders in our

infirmities and weaknesses. Sometimes we have

heard of God using us in spite of our weaknesses,

but I'm going to share with you that God sometimes

uses our very weaknesses to do his things. So

it's okay to be weak as long as you're pursuing

strength. It's okay to be weak. And you don't

have to be weakened in the faith. That's one

thing. And when I say weakness and say infirmity,

I'm not talking about sin. But I'm talking about,

you know, disabilities, deformities, or some

of the physical problems, or poverty, or some

of those issues, persecution or troubles. So

my passage today is from Exodus chapter 4 and

Exodus 4 · chapter mention

verse 10. And please understand that I have read

a scripture which was not in the Bible, but I

read it somewhere. Blessed are those who speak

short, they will be called again. I just wanted

you to be at rest, at peace, okay? So Exodus

Exodus 4 · chapter mention

chapter 4 and verse 10 onwards, it says, But

Moses said to the Lord, O my Lord, I am not eloquent.

I'm not eloquent, either in the past or since

you have spoken to your servant. Why did you

say that? Either in the past or since you have

spoken to your servant. We'll come back to it.

But I'm slow of speech and of tongue. It's not

that my confidence level is low, which I see

that it is, but I also have some problem with

my tongue. I'm slow of speech and of tongue.

I have some problems. I stammer. It could be

a confidence issue. Then the Lord said to him,

who has made man's mouth? Who makes him mute

or deaf or seeing or blind? Definitely I would

say devil. But God goes on to say, is it not

I, the Lord? And let me tell you, friends, I

would not like to rescue God here. So I'm not

going to give you an explanation which I would

not be able to prove. So I would leave it just

there that God said, am I not the one who has

made man mute? Come on. Are you talking, you

know, I asked you, and my objection is that I

don't think I'm the right one to be sent to deliver

people. I have to talk to Pharaoh. I have to

talk to people. And I don't think they're going

to believe me. And God is saying, no, you go

in the very strength that you have. That's my

problem. I don't think I have strength. What

I see is deformity, disability, and my problem,

and my weaknesses. And that's what God is saying.

Yes, Moses, I see that's what you see, but that's

not what you got to see. You got to see me working

on your behalf and working for my purposes. I

never chose you to do things for me. I chose

you so that I would do things in you and through

you so that my purposes are done. So it's not.

See, it's not I trusting you that you would get

something done, but I'm asking you to trust me

that I will get it done through you. In spite

of your weaknesses, in spite of your failures,

in spite of your problems, in spite of your poverty,

in spite of your foolish steps sometimes that

you've taken in your life, in spite of your past,

God is able to do what he purposes to do. My

Jesus just cannot be defeated. I don't believe

in a God who can be defeated. Because he defeated

death. He defeated enemy on the cross. When everyone

thought that Jesus is defeated. They did not

know that Jesus is defeating the greatest enemy

of the human being. And that is death and sin.

Hallelujah. They did not know when Jesus appeared

to be the weak, he was the most powerful at that

moment. I can appear to you weak, but you don't

know my strength does not lie in my talents and

my abilities and in my money or in my things.

My strength lies in my Savior. And that's why

Psalm is said in Psalm 73, that my strength and

my heart may fail, but the Lord is the strength

of my heart. Yes, when you look at me, you see

a man with frailty, with weaknesses. But you

look deep inside of me and you will find a God

who is loving and caring and all -powerful to

finish what he starts. And I pray that you and

I would not like to be Moses. And if we are,

God would not give up on us. That's what happened.

You know what had happened by this time? Moses

had one of the best experiences that anybody

could ever dream of. That he would meet God face

to face. He had seen the back of God. God spoke

to him. But this happened later on. But this

same Moses, what happened? He was in the wilderness

taking care of the sheep of his father -in -law.

And one day he saw fire. A burning bush experience.

Then the Lord said, the voice of the Lord came

to him and said, this is the most holy ground

where you're standing. So take off your sandal.

And Moses did. So Moses listened to the voice

of the Lord. He stood at the most holy ground.

He saw the fire of God. In spite of that, what

he's saying is, I don't think Pharaoh is going

to trust me. Believe me that I'm sent by God.

And more than Pharaoh, fourth chapter, he starts

to show his doubt about people believing him.

He said, people are not going to trust me, believe

me. Then God said, okay, in spite of all the

experiences that I've given to you by now, let

me give you three more. So those three experiences

were, what do you have in your hand? Rod, throw

it. So he threw the rod, he said, pick it up

again. And he picked it up again by the tail,

and it was rod again. He said, okay, even if

they don't believe you now, I know sometimes

people can be stiff -necked and hard -hearted.

I understand that. But if they don't believe

you, believe me. They are going to believe me

by the end of what I show to you. And that is,

put your hand under the cloak. And he did. Take

it out. It was all leprous. Put it back again.

No leprosy. God says, if they don't believe the

first sign, show them the second one. Wow. I'm

carrying something in my hand. I can show something.

I can show the power of God. like this, and I

can show them in my own body the power of God

working. And then God says, even if they don't

believe you after this, what you can do is you

take some water from the Nile and put it on the

dry ground, and it would turn into blood, and

they would believe. And you know, at the end

of all this, you hear the story that they believed

Moses, and that's why they were ready to leave

that place. They believed Moses, but Moses' problem

was that they would never believe me. In spite

of God giving him signs after signs, then came

the tenth verse when Moses is saying, I am not

eloquent in my speech. Secondly, friends, he

said, people will not believe me. You know why?

Because 40 years ago, I wanted to save them.

I wanted to redeem and rescue them in my own

strength. And they rejected me. And Acts chapter

Acts 7 · chapter mention

7 says that they rejected Moses as a redeemer

and judge. They said, who has made you a judge

over us? So Moses knows that these people have

rejected me once and they're going to reject

me again. But Moses, let me tell you, when you

do things on your own, people might reject it.

But when you do things in the power of the most

high God, nobody is going to reject because it

is God approving you and your ministry and God

doing wonders in you and through you. So don't

worry about what people are going to do. Because

those same very people, those who rejected you,

they are going to trust you. Those who never

wanted to follow you, they are going to follow

you even for 40 years. Let me tell you, if you

think you're not able to lead a group of these

2 million people, let me tell you, God has chosen

the weakest so that he can confound the wise

through you. Through the very weak vessels. It's

okay to be weak. Moses' objection was this. I

am not eloquent in my speech. Neither was I nor

I am after my experience with you. And I have

seen and let me share this. Being charismatic,

Pentecostal, spirit filled, whatever you call.

For 31 years. Have had a lot of experiences with

God. But I don't know why. Sometimes some disabilities

remain. Sometimes some problems remain. You must

have gone to many conferences. And it was a powerful

atmosphere. Every time we come to church, great,

powerful atmosphere. But we come back and realize

that I have the same problem that I had some

time back. Is the experience unreal? No, friend.

Was God not in that experience? No, friend. He

was in that experience. The experience is real.

Everything is real. The thing is this. You think

that when I am. All together, everything that

I want to be, then I will accomplish. Let me

tell you, when you are weak, you can still accomplish

because it's not your power that gets things

done. It's my power that gets things done. It's

okay to be weak. It's okay to come back to looking

at you, you know. I am weak, yeah. Moses, I know.

Until the perfect one comes, things would be

imperfect. But it's okay. My work. Will be perfectly

done by the perfect power of the most high God.

Working perfectly inside of you. None of his

purposes would fall short from happening. Everything

that he has designed and purpose will come to

pass. It does not depend on your power. So please

stop looking at yourself. As if you have everything,

then you can do everything. No, I can do everything

if my father wants me to do it. Who says that

you cannot be? You can be. But look, I don't

have these talents. Look, I don't have those

talents. Don't worry, God will be your talent.

He will teach you. When I receive the prophecies

that I will travel. All over the world and preach

the gospel. For somebody who comes from a small

town. And my parents were from the villages.

And I did not grow up in English background.

My family never spoke English. And I didn't go

to school to learn English. That was hard. I

didn't know. I could not even utter a word, a

sentence, a phrase in English. But I trusted

God. I said, God, you're able to do that. I would

take English Bible, Hindi Bible, dictionary and

diary together. Would learn 10 words in a day.

Try to learn new words, how to use them. And

then I'll practice again and again and again

and again. It took some time. But let me tell

you, praise God, that God has allowed me to travel

to 18 nations and preach the unadulterated gospel

of the Lord Jesus Christ. Just when you think

you cannot do it, let me tell you, God is going

to surprise you. What he can do through you.

In spite of your weaknesses. Even using your

weakness. Okay, let me take you to another example.

And that is the example of Isaac. You know the

Bible says Isaac was old and his eyes grew dim.

And so much so that he would not even recognize

his son from close. He would not be able to recognize

him at all. But when he was in that situation,

don't you think it's one of the weakest points?

He cannot. He's on his bed and he said to his

son, Esau, bring me some, hunt some, you know,

animal for me. Cook the kind of food that I love

and bring it to me so that I can bless you. Mama

was listening to every conversation. And mama,

when the boy was out, mama went to Jacob and

said, Jacob, it's your time, boy. And Jacob said,

mama, you think that's right? Mama said, I don't

know what I'm doing is right or not, but it's

going to happen because the Lord promised so

that the younger will be greater than the older

and older will serve the younger. This happened

before they even did any good or bad. So the

prophecy was already there. The word was already

there that Jacob is going to be the bigger one.

And you know what had happened? One day when

Jacob was cooking stew, that's when. Esau came.

So Esau had already proved why God rejected him.

Esau proved for God to be right. But you know

what happened? How it all happened? It all happened

because one day Esau was so weak in his eyesight

that he could not even see. So God used his weakness

to do what he had already purposed before the

world began. So can God use my weaknesses? Can

God use even my blindness? Can God use my disabilities?

God is wiser than you think. He knows how to

use things. I'm telling you, he has used me for

about 31 years. I'm no better than those people

that are recorded here. But God can use you in

spite of all these things. The only problem that

God has is when you reject God. When you say,

I cannot do it. So you're saying, God, your choice

is wrong. I thought you would choose somebody

better than me. And I think the work is too great

and I'm not eloquent for that. Let me tell you,

don't say those things to God. When God says

you can do it, you can do it. It's not because

God is just saying it, but he backs what he says.

He stands behind what he says. If he says you're

going to be father of the nation, you're going

to be. God, why would you use him? Why would

you use Abraham? He's not the father of any child.

Why don't you use his brother, Nahar? Or Nahor,

whatever you call. He is father of eight children

and four from concubines. He's a fertile man.

His wife is a fertile woman. So why would you

not choose them? They can be easy, quick, you

know. They can produce more children. And God

is saying, no, I'm going to use somebody who's

not able to do it. So that glory is not yours

when the child is being produced, but the glory

would be God's glory. And that's why, why would

God wait for 25 years for Adam to have a child?

Because you remember, when he turned 86, then

we had a son. So in other words, Abraham was

able to produce a child, but Sarah was not. And

Abraham proved to produce a child by producing

a child through Hagar after 10 years. So when

he was 86, he became the father. And you know,

he lived for 175. And what happened? After the

death of Sarah, he married Keturah. And he had

many sons and daughters. At what age? Age 137

to 147. Can you produce so many children? Yes,

I can. But why have you chosen me? Because your

wife is barren. And I want to use something that

is so, so insignificant in itself that it seems

like it can never produce. But I will make it

produce. Let me tell you, friend, you could be

the weakest in your clan. It's okay. You could

be the youngest. It's okay. You could be the

poorest. It's okay. You could be the most foolish

one like me. It's okay. As long as you allow

God to be all that he wants to be in and through

you. As long as you say, God, you can do it.

I know you can do it. But Moses kept saying,

I cannot do it. I'm not the right one. Don't

send me God. Please, I'm not the right one. God

said, no. Who made man's mouth? I did. I did

with a purpose. I did for my glory. Everything

that God has created, let me tell you, it is

for his glory, everything that he has created.

It's very clear. The scriptures are plain. Colossians

Colossians 1 · chapter mention

chapter 1 and 16 says that everything, whether

on earth, in heavens, everything, principalities

or the powers, rulers or whatever that is, seen

or unseen, everything being created by God and

for God. And Romans 11, 36 says, to him be glory

forever and ever. Whatever you do, 1 Corinthians

1 Corinthians 10:30

10, verse 30 and 31. Whatever you do, by eating

or drinking, whatever. Do it all unto the glory

of God. You are the temple of the most high God.

The Holy Spirit dwells inside of you. Why? So

that you would die for yourself and live for

God and his glory alone. Everything has been

created for his glory. And let me tell you, even

your weakness can be used for his glory. It's

okay. Keep pursuing strength, but don't tell

God that you cannot be all that God wants you

to be at this moment. That I have to give up,

you know. Don't give up. Please don't give up.

Romans chapter 15 is very clear. Verse 4, all

Romans 15 · chapter mention

the scriptures were given so that through the

endurance and the encouragement of the scriptures,

we might have hope. That's why you read about...

Why all the stories of the Old Testament are

given to me? So that every time I look back to

the story of David, what I see is a faithful

God. I don't see faithful David. I see faithful

God. When I look back to it, I don't see faithful

Jonah. I see an angry Jonah and disobedient Jonah.

But I see a faithful God. So every time you look

back to the story of the Bible, what you see

is the faithfulness of God. And that's why these

scriptures are being given to me. So that I would

understand and know that God is faithful and

powerful enough to do what he purposes to do.

And nothing can stop him. Nothing can stop him.

Even my weaknesses cannot stop him. It was very

clear one day God said to Gideon, Gideon. You're

a mighty man of valor. And Gideon said, who,

me? Are you talking to me? It could be somebody

else in the worship team. God said, no, you're

the one. But I am the, my clan is the weakest

and I'm the youngest in the clan. Don't you think

you've chosen the right one? God said, no, I've

chosen the right one. You go. And this is what

the Lord said, go in your strength. Don't you

think the problem was that Gideon never thought

that he has strength? And all that he showed,

all that he did proved or showed that he really

had no strength. And he says, God says, go in

your strength. Have I not sent you? You know

my strength is? My strength is only Jehovah God,

the sender. Because he never sends me all by

myself. He sends me and comes along. That's why

in Mark chapter 16 and verse 14 onwards, Bible

Mark 16 · chapter mention

says Jesus met them after resurrection. And you

know what he did? Bible says after resurrection

when he met his disciples, he rebuked them for

their unbelief. And you know what is the 15th

verse? In the 14th verse, he rebuked them for

their unbelief. And 15th verse, he says, now

go into all the world. Really? It's not even

a chapter. to this. It's just one scripture,

one moment. It's not that, okay, think about

it for 30 minutes, come up with a conclusion,

come up with the right conclusion, then I will

see if you are worthy to be sent or not. No.

He said, you have unbelief inside of you, but

if I look for perfect, where would I find one?

I'm telling you, he tried. He didn't find one

in India. Maybe Harrisburg. Or maybe Yukon. No,

there is nobody. So God is saying, I know you

think you don't have it. If I am there inside

of you and with you, you have it all that you

need to do that work which I have called you

to. Just go in your strength. And Gideon said,

I don't think I can. I'm sending you when God

sends you. And you know what happened in the

16th chapter. Same Mark chapter 16. We heard

Mark 16 · chapter mention

of 14th chapter when Jesus rebuked them. 15th

chapter he sent them and 20th, sorry, 14th verse

and 15th verse and 20th verse. The verse 20th

says, and they went out and preached the gospel

and God was with them confirming the word with

signs and wonders. Go in your weaknesses. Don't

trust that you can do signs and wonders. God

alone will do signs and wonders. Will he work

with weak people? Yes, he will work with weak

people so that they cannot trust in their own

strength and they can never glory in their own

strength. They will only glory in God Almighty.

That's why great things will happen through weak

people. Believe it, friends. Great things will

happen with weak people. If you think you are

weak some way, you have some disabilities, great

things are bound to happen through you in Jesus'

name. Through you in Jesus' name. Because God

cannot be proven wrong. Why has he chosen you?

Why has he chosen you? He can never be proven

wrong for anything. He is true. And he is truth.

Everything he does, everything he says, everything

he plans is good, is truth. It can never be changed.

And I pray in Jesus' name that you would believe

that and you would understand that. But listen

what happened. Gideon thought that he cannot

do it all by himself. Gideon thought that he

cannot be victorious. But God kept telling him,

you go, you go, you go. And then Gideon decided

to bring some people who can fight along with

him. You know how many people came? 32 ,000.

How big was the army against them? More than

100 ,000 people. But they still... You know,

only 30%, maybe 25 % of what the other army is.

The enemy is stronger. But 32 people, at least

they could muster some courage. At least they

could have some courage. Now we can go because

we have 32 ,000 people with us. And just when

they were getting ready and, you know, sharpening

their sword and everything, there comes the voice

of the Lord. Gideon, I think the people are too

many. Come on, God, I just mustered some courage.

I now have some confidence I can do it because

of these 32 ,000 people. Let me tell you, God

never wants you to trust anything other than

him. He is all that you need. Brothers are good.

Team is good. Sister's help is good. Money is

good. House is good. But you think I cannot do

it without it? I will do it without it because

my God is all that I need. All that I need. And

he will make it happen. Gideon said, what do

I need to do? God said, tell them anyone who

is afraid can go back. And you know what? 22

,000 went back. Wow. That was a bigger number

of people who were afraid to be in the army.

Then why did they come? I understand that all

the people in the church singing are not all

the people who have everything all together.

They're just trying. If I can do it, Lord. If

you can use me. They were still there in spite

of their fear. And God said, I want them to go.

Oh, so you don't want anyone full of fear? So

you'll reject them? But listen what God did after

that. Oh, my. God said, there's still too many.

Take them to the water. Test them. And he tested.

From 10 ,000, it turned to 300. What do you think?

From 32 ,000 to 300 is less than 1%. Less than

1%. And God is saying, with these 300, I will

deliver Israel. Listen, these 300 will not deliver

Israel. I will deliver Israel. I will just use

these 300 people. So these 300 people are all

that it takes. They are most courageous. They

are right and perfectly all right. No, let me

tell you about the leader. Look at the leader

first. Then you look at those 300 people. Whether

they had fear or not. No. They did not have the

great faith that you and I sometimes desire to

have. How do I know? God said in the seventh

chapter and verse seven onwards, I will deliver

you with these 300 people. But remember, Gideon,

if you still have fear, go down to the... camp

of the Philistine army and listen to their dream

and you would have some courage to fight against

them. And then Bible says Gideon went. Why did

Gideon go? Because God said, if you still have

fear. After having 300 chosen one of God, Gideon,

you the great commander of the army and you still

have fear? Yes. Let me tell you, the fear is,

somebody said, fear is not the absence of courage.

It is in fact the presence, the faith is not

the absence of fear. But faith is the presence

of that courage to fight against fear head on.

And if there is some fear, I pray that you would

fight against it head on. Who does not carry

this kind of situation. Gideon, go. And let me

tell you, God, you just rejected these 22 ,000

because they had some amount of fear in them.

But you are encouraging Gideon to go on, be fearless.

One after another, one after another, instances

after instances, you're telling him, you're talking

to him, you're trying to instill some hope inside

of him and faith inside of him. And why didn't

you do with him? With those 22 ,000, I don't

know. I only know this, that if you are still

in Christ Jesus, if you're seated here, then

God has chosen you to go ahead and do what sometimes

you don't think you can do in your own strength.

God has chosen you. I don't know why many others

have rejected Christ. I don't know many others,

what happened to them and why they are not in

Christ. I only know this, that God can use the

very people that he has in this building to change

the scenario and change the places around them.

You are able to do it all by yourself. You can

finish what God has started because it is God

who begins and God who finishes. Friends, I pray

in Jesus' name that you would not be bogged down

by those things. Listen what God said to Moses

after that. God said to Moses, is it not I? Yes.

And then what he goes on to say is even more

beautiful. He says, then the Lord said to him

who has made man's mouth who makes him mute or

deaf or seeing or blind, is it not I the Lord?

Now therefore go and I will be with your mouth

and teach you what you shall speak. But he said,

oh, my Lord, please send someone else. Then the

anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses.

And he said, is there not Aaron, your brother,

the Levite? I know that he can speak well. But

listen, listen, listen. Verse 35, you shall speak

to him and put the words in his mouth. And I

will be with your mouth and his mouth. And I

will teach you both what to do. When Moses said,

I cannot do it, God said, I will be with your

mouth. And I will teach you. These two things,

let me tell you, friends, I have realized over

the course of years of ministry, I need these

things, both these things, every moment of my

life. I need God to be my strength and his presence

to always be with me. And number two, to always

teach me what to do next. And never go by my

experience. Oh, I have had the experience. I

can do it. I have done it 10 ,000 times. No.

You need God to teach you instantly at that moment

what he should do. What you should do. In fact,

one day, me and my wife had some trouble. I was

talking to Mark about this. We had some issues

that we wanted to discuss. And my wife was mad

at me because of something that I had done. And

I don't remember what I had done. And guess what?

I didn't even remember in those days. There was

something. And I knew that she's right and she

has to be. So I was talking. I thought, let me

go and talk to her. And these are the words that

I'm going to say. And everything is going to

be all right. And I thought of all the good words

that I would say and good ways that I would convey

my thought across, you know. And I decided to

go to her office. And she was in the school.

She's principal of the school. So she was in

the school, in the office. And I went into her

and said, I want to talk. She said, yes, come.

And we started talking. And since then, I don't

know what happened. But more than four days,

we never talked again. I have realized. You think

I can fix everyone's problems? No. You think

I can fix all my problems in my house? No. You

think I can fix all the world's problems? No.

And guess what? I'm not being called to do it.

I have my savior right alongside of me. And he's

going to teach me what to do next. He's going

to teach me how to go. He's going to teach me

what to say. He's going to teach me how to behave

in certain situations. He's going to teach me

when I am in lack of money how to behave. When

I have abundance of money, how should I behave?

He's going to teach me. That's all he wants.

He's going to teach me certain things. Me and

my wife, we went through three miscarriages.

And we were too, too broken. And my wife was

so broken that one day I was trying to wake her

up and she said, I wish I would never get up.

And she started crying. She said, I wish my eyes

would never open. And I would die in my sleep.

And I said, don't say that. And I started crying

too. And I went upstairs and I started crying.

I said, God, I don't know. Why? And I really

don't. You know, it doesn't bother me much, but

the why, I don't need to know the answer of why.

I know you are wise. But please do something

so that we have hope. Please do something so

that we cherish your grace and mercy in spite

of our weaknesses. And let me tell you what happened.

All of a sudden I got a phone call from one of

my disciples from a city called Delhi. And he

calls me up and says, Pastor, what are you doing?

I said, nothing, just praying. He said, there's

a situation. I heard that you guys take care

of the children, poor children. I said, no, we

only provide free education to them. Yes, yeah,

that's what we do. We give them free education,

food and transportation and all that. And he

said, but what about those who are better? been

abandoned I said no we don't do anything he says

oh I thought you do something because we have

a situation here a couple came together out of

wedlock they have a baby and the husband has

already man has already left the scene he's not

with the woman and woman is saying I'm only 21

and I don't want to carry this so she's she's

getting out of the hospital tomorrow and she's

gonna drop the baby in the trash can and that's

what I heard And when I heard that, I said, wait,

I'll call you back again. I went back to my wife.

I said, this is a situation. What would you like

to do? She said, get my ticket. I'm going. She

got up and got the baby. And let me tell you,

since then, everything has changed. Everything

has changed. Today, I have 10 kids playing on

my bed. Now when I say playing on the bed, I

really mean playing. Really. Jumping up and down

and playing on my back. Horse riding and all

that stuff. And I'm loving every part of it.

Believe me, I'm loving. I would not like to trade

this for any other thing. I'm telling you, this

is part of heaven that I'm enjoying in my family,

in my life. Believe me, friends. It's okay to

be weak at times because God knows how he's going

to use your weakness for his glory and for your

good. And let me tell you, those kids have done

so good to me that I can never pay back. Don't

look at your weaknesses and deformities and disabilities.

As if they are going to be your handicap. As

if they are going to be your impediment. No,

sir, no. God is going to use you in spite of

that. And sometimes God is going to use the very

weakness you have for his glory and for your

good. Trust God in everything. That's why God

said, I will be with you and I will teach you.

I will teach you. I will be with you. And I will

finish with these. See, that's why I'm turning

the pages. I'll finish with these. One time,

a lady. Now, let me tell you about my family

situation. I'm enjoying my family. Don't think

we fight any longer. God's grace, we have fun

now. Because God taught me a few things. And

one of the things that God taught me was this.

Michael, there can be four associate pastors

to your church. But there cannot be four associate

fathers and husbands to your family. So be the

husband you have to be. Be the father you have

to be. And I started taking care of my wife.

I started loving her more than I, you know, I

started showing so much of love. Because in India

it's like, I love you, don't you know? I bring

food on the table, don't you know? Do I have

to say it again and again? And, you know, husbands

are not that expressive, you know. I don't know

husbands here, but in India, we are very shy.

And you should thank us for being shy. Being

shy, we are 1 .3 billion. Imagine what would

have happened if we were not that shy. So you

should thank us. I'm telling you, your immigration

would have, like, collapsed by now. Praise God.

And you needed bigger walls than what you have

right now. But praise God for everything. Everything

is for his glory. And he's saying, Michael, I

can use it. Don't worry. I can use you. I can

use your weakness. Don't think I just have a

little bit of strength that I can use only good

things. I can use anything for my glory and for

your good. God bless you, friends. Let God be

glorified as you allow him to work in and through

you. Thank you, friends. Hallelujah.
