You're listening to a message to go from AX Church.
-
We hope this message will light up your tea.
-
When you come in touch with fire, you will never
-
be the same again. You say, Lord, I would like
-
to migrate to the US. If he's really his will,
-
he will tell you whether you should my grade or not.
-
But his first answer to that prayer is fired. We
-
will show the world how to serve the Lord with
-
fire in our heart. Let the God who answers by
-
fire be God. Let the God who answers by fire
-
be God. I want to remind all of us this
-
morning that our God answers by fire. I was many
-
years ago at a rally in Indonesia. It was a
-
very very big event that I took about eight of
-
my leaders to go with me, and the finale was
-
held at the stadium.
-
One hundred thousand people came.
-
The speaker was Yongi Cho Cho Yongee, pastor Chow Yong
-
Gee at that time, pastor of the largest church in
-
the world. Okay, I think the church was about eight
-
hundred thousand people in South Korea. Yourdo your Iido Full
-
Gospel Church. And as passa Yongi Cho was speaking, he
-
said he was speaking Korean.
-
He said that.
-
God used Korea or South Korea to introduce to the world.
-
The prayer movement.
-
Prayer movement, all right, and sure enough, everybody who ever
-
talked about let's do prayer, let's get into prayer, let's
-
do more prayer. That will look at Youngi Cho pass
-
Yongicho and his church as an example. But Yngi Cho
-
or show Yongi uh said, uh, prayer movement came out
-
of Korea. And then he says, but you know Indonesia,
-
and of course you were speaking Indonesia.
-
Indonesia will provide to the world.
-
The praise movement, and a lot of songs of praise
-
have been coming out from Indonesia, a lot of songs
-
of praise. Okay, so you know what happened. I closed
-
my eyes and I bout my head as I heard
-
about what South Korea provided for the world. I heard
-
about what Indonesia is about to provide for the world,
-
and I just say the race silent prayer about my head.
-
I say a silent press the Lord. If South Korea
-
did that for the world, Lord, if Indonesia is going
-
to do this for the world, what will Malaysia do?
-
And the Lord says, passion. I got in my spirit
-
passion and the next word was fire. So fire and
-
passion is related. It's connected. And then we uh, you know,
-
around the stadium people say amen, you know, because people
-
were praying.
-
I was in my deep, in my own prayer.
-
But as everyone said amen, and I opened my eyes
-
and in came a person running into the stadium with
-
a torch fire like the Olympics, and he lighted up,
-
you know, like like the Olympics, this huge what do
-
you call it, yeah, cauldron, Yeah, this huge torch and
-
he lighted it up and boom, set on fire.
-
And the Lord says, that's your confirmation. That's your confirmation.
-
So I had believed that since then until today, that
-
Malaysia's contribution to the world will be passion. We will
-
show the world how to serve the Lord with fire.
-
In our hearts.
-
Do you believe it? I believe you are my heart.
-
I believe you all my heart. And so the confirmation
-
was there. But then as I read First King chapter eighteen,
-
God reminds me that he answers by fire. Now you
-
think about it, the guyser, the God who answers by
-
fire means that Every prayer you ever prayed is firstly
-
answered by fire, before it's answered by specific answer to
-
your prayer. Think about it now, think about it. Now,
-
you say, Lord, I would like to migrate to the US.
-
If he's really his will, he will tell you better.
-
You should my grade or not. But his first answer
-
to that prayer is fire.
-
Why? Passion? Why?
-
Because what's the use of going to the United States
-
of America without fire? Australia? Lord, send me to Australia.
-
But you know, a Christian can die in Australia. A
-
Christian can lose his faith in the US. A Christian
-
can force take the Lord in the UK if he
-
doesn't have fire. Lord, give me one million ring. It
-
could be your prayer. Give me ten million ring. It
-
could be your prayer. But what is money without fire?
-
Because you can be rich and forsake the Lord. So
-
do you understand one pressay? You can ask for anything,
-
but the first thing he answers is fire. Jesus said,
-
I came to send fire on the earth. Wow, and
-
how I wish it would already kindle. Now fire is powerful.
-
Fire changes everything it touches. Do you understand this? Everything
-
when you come in touch with fire, you will never
-
be the same again.
-
Nothing remains the same.
-
That means if you are on fire and you touch
-
somebody's hands hello, and fire goes through your.
-
Hand, that person will never be the same again.
-
Do you understand if money is on fire, anyone who
-
comes in here will be changed. You don't even have
-
to do anything else but be God's channel of fire.
-
The fire doesn't need.
-
To change, ladies and gentlemen in this room, with the
-
stages or stages of life. I find that, you know,
-
some older ones will come to me say, oh, don't
-
you know, pasta, I'm already retired. I'm not like the
-
young ones with so much energy right or pasa you
-
don't understand. I just got married, so you know there
-
are different demands or pasa you don't understand. But I've
-
got three kids. Listen. I want to tell you right now,
-
and I pray you will take it with all your heart.
-
The fire doesn't.
-
Need to change with the stages or status of life.
-
We're not talking about you jumping only and you know,
-
doing crazy things no, or running around the church like
-
a young guy can and an older guy might not
-
be able to know. I'm not comparing like that. But
-
why should your fire and my fire deplete or decrease
-
with age? Do you agree that I'm talking about fire?
-
I see older people here in our midst and thank
-
God for older people here in our myths. I can
-
also see the fire. How to attract God's fire? How
-
to keep being on fire?
-
All right? Are you ready?
-
Because we read in the scripture fire came down when
-
Elijah prayed.
-
Yes. So when I go and speak.
-
This message in different places, I understand that there are
-
many people all around the world saying wow. When I
-
read first King's eighteen, I wanted to happen again in
-
our time and age. I wanted to heppen again. God,
-
where are you? So the question he ask is where's
-
the God of Elijah? Where's the God of Elijah today
-
twenty twenty six. But the question should be where is Elijah?
-
Because as I said to you earlier, how God hasn't changed.
-
He hasn't got anywhere he Brews thirteen, verse eight. He
-
is the same yesterday, today and forever, the God of
-
the US and the God of Australia, and the God
-
of the UK is also the God of Malaysia. He's
-
your God, I know, said you celebrator. Maybe you say
-
Bethel or maybe you say he was. I don't know
-
what church you celebrate, you know, but it's time to
-
also celebrate what God is doing here ten birth day.
-
God is alive in this place. So don't ask where's
-
the God of Elijah? You know, God of Elijah has
-
always been here. Where is Elijah is the question. Don't
-
just look for the God of Elijah. God is looking
-
for Elijah. If God can find Elijah, he will move.
-
