The Power and Purpose of Brokenness-Part 2

Hello, ex Church. It's a real privilege, pleasure, and honor

to be able to do this recording. I'm so thankful

for the opportunity. As most of you know that I

injured myself a couple months ago and right now I

am recording this message from my own home. Right now,

as I'm recording this, I'm still on crutches. Thank God,

this one crutch. Now I've learned to go from two

crutches to one, and so there's improvements every day. I

am being strengthened by the Lord every day. And I

want to thank you all for your prayers, for your love.

Some things I want to share with you today. And

God has encouraged me to be patient, to wait for

his timing because he knows what's best. He knows the

things that he wants to show me and teach me

and tell me, even in this condition I'm in right now.

The message I want to bring across to you is

that God chooses broken people. God chooses broken people. It

is painful to be under the breaking process of the Lord.

All of us will have to go through one kind

of breaking or the other. Now, let's look at Luke

for one thirteen and fourteen then Jesus, being filled with

the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led

by the Spirit into the wilderness. Or even Jesus himself,

the son of God, was brought led by the Holy

Spirit into a place of breaking. That's what wilderness and

as it is, is not a party, is not a buffet.

It's a place of isolation, nothingness, uncomfortable. But Jesus was

led by the Spirit. Now, when the devil had ended

every temptation, says verse thirteen, he departed from Jesus until

an opportune time. Now I underline opportune time because I

have recognized opportune time to mean that Satan came when

Jesus was being broken in the wilderness. That is the

first opportune time. And so the next opportune time will

be when Jesus will go through breaking again. And so

the devil is an opportunist. He will take opportunity in

an opportune time. But maybe you didn't understand what otunite

time meant. You see, because we don't go through breaking

every day. We don't go to breaking even every year,

or maybe some level of it, but not always painful,

not always desperate. So the Devil knows that he can

only get to you. Can he can really get to

you at the opportundon time, meaning the opportunity and time

that God allows something to happen, that is his opportune

time God allowed it. Otherwise you will always be protected

by God, right, You will always be covered by God. Right,

and God would now nothing bad to happen to you.

But when God allows something that seems to be bad

in the eyes of the world, you see because at

all other times you're always covered, you're always provided for.

And then sometimes God just allows something, you know again

that looks bad in the eyes of the world. But

in God's eyes, he has a plan. It's called suffering,

it's called pain. Yes, it's called cave, it's called wilderness. Yes,

nobody likes it. That opportune time Satan is waiting for

because that's when he believes he can get you. Remember

that Jesus was let into the wilderness to be tempted.

But remember this also, I said he before, I'll say

it again. What God allows, Satan will take advantage. So

when God allowed me to go through this injury and

to go through this time of recovery and through this

tyme of waiting, and I have been in pain, and

I have been broken, and I have been, you know,

crying out to God. I have all those times up

and down, and yes I'm okay today, not okay, Tomorrow okay,

the next day not so okay. The day after. You know,

I thought, you know, I was done. God's not done

with me yet. And you know why, God, why so long? Okay?

As God allows this, the flies will come. You know,

like when you cooked a really good meal, you put

the plate of good food, good smelling food, on the table,

and then the flies start coming. The flies didn't come

when the dish is not done. So when God is

allowing this to be cooked out, putting all the ingredients

in there, right whatever it is, good smelling dish, it's

going to be tasting so good. You know, by the

time you let this dish be tasted by the world,

everyone is going to be blessed. But the flies will come. Then,

before that way are the flies? They're not here. They

know when to come. Satan like a fly. By Elzeba,

the Bible calls him lord of the flies. He is

a fly, He's the Lord of the flies. All right.

We don't like flies in our kitchen. We don't like

flies in our home and our lives. All right, when

you see all those countries where there's poverty and there's

illness and all that kind of stuff, you see flies

is coming onto people's faces, faces of children. Right, that's

a very demonic picture, really, And we don't want flies.

We don't want The Lord of flies bells them, but

we don't want him. But he will come. The Lord

will allow, and Satan will take advantage. Remember the forbidden

tree in the garden of Eden. God allowed the tree

to be there, you know, and that very one tree

broke Adam. And if God allowed it, but who was

taking advantage of it? Satan? Don't listen to his lives.

God would allow you. Some people are simply asking unt today,

why did God allow the tree to be there if

he knew that he shouldn't be eaten? Well, that's how

people get broken, meaning to say that Adam and Eve

didn't need to sin, but just by saying no, I

can't take this fruit, no I can't, that's a level

of brokenness. Because if you can say yes to everything,

then we don't have to feel pain, suffering, we don't

have to feel inhibited. We don't have to feel anything

except yay. I can do anything I want to do.

I'm lord of my life. You know. I can eat anything.

You know, I can spend my money on anything. I

can go out with any girl, go out with any guy.

I don't care. You know this is my life. You

know I'm lord on and God of my life. Right. No,

God put a tree there to say no, you are

not God of everything. I am God of everything. And

so just by saying no and bending your wheel to

God's real that's a form of brokenness. But listen, the

devil came and tried to short change that brokenness and

told them believe that they can do anything, they can

be like God. So instead of being broken God's way,

they were broken by Satan ultimately by a lie. Don't

listen to Satan's lines. Are you going to go into

a breaking time? Now? A brokenness, a painful suffering time? Now?

Be careful because this is this is an opportunity time

for Satan as well. But don't allow him to have

any opportunity. Amen. But you and I can take the

opportunity in Christ to do what. Let me read the

last verse there, verse fourteen. Then Jesus returned in the

power of the Spirit to Galilee, and news of him

went out through all the surrounding agent. We will come

back with power. Ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters. Are

you listening to me? Do you hear my heart? I

also believe in Christ that I will come out of

this suffering, out of this brokenness, out of this cave,

out of you know, my time of recovery, with the

power of the Holy Spirit. Now, if I read this

to you again, you will see three things. It says

in verse one, Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit,

returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit.

So verse one already says fail and lead. Why is

the Bible so specific? Because sometimes we can be filled

by the spirit, and many of you are, but not lead.

There's a difference being filled, there's a difference being led,

And finally, there's a difference being or having the power

of the Spirit. Feel lead and empowered. This whole thing

about the deeper way of discipleship. You know, people like

discipleship if it's easy, But there is a discipleship that

goes deeper, and all of us must must learn it

and learn to surrender to it for the past three

years or more. I can remember three years, but it

could have been more. In my daily quiet time, by

the grace of God, I've been praying specifically that the

Lord would make me the Jesus that Malaysia needs.

Lord, make me.

The Jesus that Malaysia needs for revival to happen. So

you could take this prayer and go, Lord, make me

the Jesus that my mother needs so that she can

come to know the Lord. Make me the Jesus that

my father needs to see so that he can accept

Christ one day. Make me the Jesus that my friends

need so that they can see Christ in me, you know.

So that's that's that's the kind of prayer I've been praying.

I really want to see revival in Malaysia. I really

want to see revival in Malaysia. And I know some

of you are praying for that as well. Revival, revival

so that all in Malaysia may know, every single person

in Malaysia may know that Jesus Christ is the Son

of the Living God, the Savior of the world, the

only way truth and life. No one comes to the

Father except through Him that all may know. So Lord

make me the Jesus and Malaysia needs for revival to happen.

And after three years, this is the way God answers me.

Think about it for a moment. I was just thinking

about it just a week ago. I said, Lord, I

thank you that I'm recovering well and I'm looking forward

to serving you again. I'm looking forward to going to Bintulu.

I'm looking forward to going to wherever you would send me.

You know, because out of this brokenness, I know that

there is going to be an anointing that will flow

and many, many, many lives are going to be touched

and transformed by your power, the power of the Holy Spirit,

and for your glory. I'm looking forward. I say, Lord,

thank you. But I said, God, you know, is this

the way I've been praying for three years now, and

that you will make me the Jesus that Malagia needs?

And is this really your way? And I saw the

Lord in the picture of my mind nodding his head

and saying, yes, you ask you asked me for three years.

I held back my hand. Sometimes we think we can

just be the Jesus by attending a Bible class. Well,

if it was that easy grade, But sometimes it's not

a Bible class only, it's a brokenness. I smiled, because

I'm now towards the end of my recovery stage. I

smile and said, Lord, I wouldn't have I asked you

to make me the Jesus that Malagia needs for revival

to happen. But I wouldn't have asked you for this

way to be the Jesus that Malaysian needs. And God

smiled back at me and said, Kenneth, if I told

you that this was the way I was going to use,

you probably say no, Lord, anything about this, Lord right,

anything but this. So the Lord sometimes doesn't tell us.

He just answers our prayer. But he answers it in

a way that we never thought he was ever going

to do it this way. But as you go through it,

as you learn to surrender, as you learn to trust

the Lord, look to the Lord. You know, God begins

to speak to you as he has spoken to me,

and continues to speak to me. He has drawn me

into a cave to prepare me to be the Jesus

that Malaysia needs. Breaking often happens before the breakthrough. Let

me give it to you one more time. Breaking often

happens before the breakthrough. So if you're going through a breaking,

now say thank you Jesus. I believe my breakthrough is coming. Amen, hallelujah.

Breaking has no hate. You know, when you go to

a real breaking, by the Lord, hate is removed from

your heart. You don't even have energy to hate anymore.

Breaking has no judgment. You don't feel like you want

to sit down while you're in pain, and oh you

want to judge this person, judge that person. I feel

like every strength I had to judge another person just

ran out the window when I was on the floor,

found it even so difficult to get up, and I

shed some tears, crying out to the Lord, Lord, I

can't even get up from the floor. You know, when

people are in the time of breaking, do you think

about judging people? You don't. So hate has gone, judgment

has gone. Breaking has no enemies. Now that doesn't mean

that people are not wanting to make you the enemy,

but you just go, Lord, I have no strength to

be anyone's at me. And so in fact, you know

we are able to obey the word that says, bless

your enemies, Bless those who curse you, right, love those

who spitefully use you. Breaking will cause you to forgive

because at a time of breaking, maybe all that you

can ask God for is God, please forgive me, you know,

if there's anything I've done to deserve this, God, Oh God,

forgive me. And you go through a whole meditation of

needing God's forgiveness. Right, you don't anything to block your healing,

and with that comes the forgiveness of others. Breaking will

remove envy, no time to envy. It will remove jealousy. Yeah,

Breaking will help you overcome anger issues. You know, if

you're really going through a breaking in the spirit of God,

if you're really going through a breaking, his way, a

way surrendered, a way that's just look to Jesus, say God,

I might not understand everything, but I surrender to you.

And you begin to just give yourself into what God

is doing, you will find it it's not easy to

be angry anymore, and you'll be able to subdue your

temper much easier. That's what breaking does. Breaking will relinquish

your rights, bring down your pride, deny your arrogance. You know,

it's not easy to be proud and arrogant when you're

on two crutches. Before this. I remember I could get

ready for church shower, dress up, put on my tie,

and my jacket, all within ten minutes. Now just to

get ready to go into the bathroom takes me ten minutes.

How do you keep pride just to get ready for

this recording? Elvin was going to come at two o'clock

to my house, and he was five minutes before two

he arrived. I was up here by one thirty and

by two o'clock I still haven't got my jacket on.

That's half an hour of trying to reach out for

my long pants and try and reach out for my

white shirt, try to put on my tie. How do

you even manage arrogance at that time? Breaking will also

make you very patient. You know, one of the toughest things,

or shall I say one of the toughest testings, is

in the area of your patients. You can take this

maybe for a couple of weeks, two months, six months,

one year, ouch ouch when lord, when maybe you're taking

care of a loved one a few days, okay, two weeks,

maybe two months. It's tough. But then when you go

through a breaking, you understand other people's breaking. You understand

what they go through don't you. So it's not just patience,

it's also understanding and compassion and mercy. As I said earlier,

kindness becomes a product of brokenness. Now you know why

breaking often happens before breakthrough because breakthrough needs all these ingredients.

It needs humility, it needs mercy, it needs all these

things that I just say and more. Maybe the Lord

is dealing with you in another area, deeper area that

I've not even mentioned. And when you go through this process,

the fact isn't there a scripture that says, yay, though

I go through the value of the share of death,

I will fear no evil. Yeah, you know, we go

through it. It's a dark place, this valley, but God

is with us, and so break true is at the

end of that dark valley. The end of breaking is surrender.

You say, pastor, give me a glimpse of the light

at the end of the tunnel, Give me a glimpse

of when can I expect this breaking to end? Well,

I have learned this surrender is the light at the

end of the tunnel. Surrender meaning God, I can't unless

you come, you see, because I find that as long

as you know you're going to do this breaking and

you're going I hope, I hope it's going to end quicker.

I hope it's going to end quicker. And then in

your mind you're thinking, I can still do this, I

can still depend on myself. I know what to do.

I find that God wants to remove that from you

and bring you and I to a place whereby we

actually end up saying God, I think I know what

you're trying to do. You're trying to bring me to

the end of myself. You're trying to bring me to

the end of the rope. You're trying to bring me

to that place where I actually lift up my hands

and surrender and say God, I actually can't without you.

I actually don't know what to do. I thought I

knew everything. I thought I could do everything, and the

Lord wants to I tell you what that place that

God wants to bring us to, it's really not a

place of defeat. It's a place of surrender, but not defeat.

It's actually a very very powerful place because that's when

God's strength actually takes over. That's when God actually intervenes,

That's when he actually puts his hand to the plow.

That's when he actually shows up all the other time

when you say I can do it, God, I can

do it, I don't what to do. He's not far away.

He's just stand by the side until you say, God,

I really need you. Breaking says more of you, less

of me. Breaking will make you want to shy away

from the limelight and give up your titles. Yeah, it's true.

You know when I was being broken and still am

going through a breaking, but I believe and the tail

end already. I even said, God, it's okay. This this

pasta title that I have, does a matterala some more.

I have a reverend title as well, does a metal alone?

And then when I finish my doctorate DBA, I said,

never mind alone, it's okay. You know when you go

to a breaking doesn't matter, I said, Lord, you use

it whenever you want to. You want to use pastor

whenever you want to open doors, You use red whenever

you want in the open doors that you want to open. Lord.

If you ever want to use the doctor title, whenever

you want to open it. Lord. Otherwise, I am just

this lot. I am just this Kenneth Chin, servant of

the Most High God. Amen. I can't even stand up

without his grace. I can't even walk without his strength,

So titles doesn't mean anything to me. Yeah there, people

respect you, honor you, but I surrender it to the Lord.

I have already surrendered the past titles and the future

titles all to the Lord. The Lord use it according

to his purpose and for his glory. But if he

doesn't want to use it, then I put it aside,

like how Paul said. Right, Paul said, I count it

as dumb. I count it as rubbish, all right, because

I want to gain Christ Breaking says once again, for

when I'm weak, then I'm strong. Some will learn through

the healing. Others will heal through the learning. I think

that's probably going to be included in one of my

inspirations in the future. You know, some people can say

to you, way, you know this happened to me, a

miraculous healing, hallelujah. You know I had an accident, and

you know I had something broken, and then within just

twenty four hours, the Lord heal me. Oh. You know,

it's so good to trust in the Lord, you know,

and to call on the name of Jesus. He's our healer. Right,

So some will learn through healing. I'm healed that they

learn right to trust the Lord, but others will heal

through learning. It is as you learn to surrender healing comes.

So the learning is first with the Lord, not the healing.

First the learning, the learning, the learning, and then, even

though you don't even realize it, the healing. Every day

you're actually growing stronger. Every day you're actually getting better.

Break before breakthrough, break before breakthrough. It is not break up.

God is not breaking you up. It is not break down.

God is not breaking you down. Breaking if you don't

treat it well, can end up either with a breakup

or a breakdown, and both may not be what God

wants for you. But it's called break through. And this

is the scripture again. Psalms chrainy Tree and some of

you love, Psalm chany Tree right verse four. Yay. Though

I walk through break through, not break up, not break down.

Break come on through you and I will pass through. Amen.

We will get to the finishing line. We will get

to the other side. We will get to the light

at the end of the tunnel. Though I walk through

the value of the shadow of death, I will fear

no evil. Come on, somebody, say to your neighbor, I

will fear no evil. I will fear. Come on, no evil.

The thing about going to breaking fear will try to

creep in, and that's again the devil's lies. But say

to your neighbor again, I will fear no evil. Turn

to the other neighbor now and say, for you are

with me. Come on, God is with us. You're Rod

and your staff they comfort me. People, listen to my

heart and listen to this reminder from the word of God.

I will never leave you, nor forsake you. I will

never leave you nor forsake you. You know what the

word for sake is when I studied it just in

the last few weeks. The word for sake has got

to do with claims. As Alvin is behind the camera

right now filming this. Elvin has got two sons, Timmy Elijah.

These are his sons and he claims them as his own. Now,

when somebody forsake something, it is in the area of

forsaking the very claim that is his or hers or theirs.

So it's not just forsaking like ah bah bye God.

You know I'm going to turn my back against you know,

he's saying that you are his claim, You are his.

You don't belong to anybody else but me saith the Lord,

and in that I will never forsake my claim. Are

you with me? That is the power. I will not

forsake you. Doesn't mean oh, you're naughty, you're bad, you're evil.

You forgot to pray today, you forgot to do your

quiet time, you forgot to read your Bible for the

last three months. I don't like you anybody. No, this

is not like don't like like in school when you

say I don't friend you, when you tell your friend

I don't friend you, you know I don't. I'm not

going to be your friend for the next hour. No, no,

no for sake means you are my claim and don't

matter who you are and how dirty you might be.

You know, like a one hundred dollar bill, you can

put it through murder and even through the toilet bowl

and out again, it still remains one hundred dollar bill.

Means it still remains God's Do you understand? And God said,

I will never forsake you because you are my claim.

You will never be able to do anything that will

cause me to deny my claim. You are my claim,

You are mine. Are you with me? People? Elvin will

never forsake his sons, no matter how they become, because

they are his flesh and bone. It's his right. And

so Elvin says, I will not forsake my sons. I

will not forsake claiming you. That's the real meaning. All right.

Maybe you never see these verses the same way again. Okay,

God says you are mine, a man. Remember that you

are his broken body or not broken body, you are his.

Come on, all right, he's gonna mend you. He's gonna

he's gonna heal you. He's gonna bless you. Amen, come on,

turn to your friends, say he's gonna heal you. Turn

your effraid. It's gonna mend you. He's gonna bless you.

A man is gonna prosper you, a man fear not,

for the Lord is with you. Now what's important is

three things very quickly, the Bible says in First Quarentthines

thirteen thirteen, Now a bite, faith, hope, love, these three

and the greatest of these is love. Now faith very quickly.

In James Chapter one, verse two and four, the Bible says,

my brethren, counted all joy when you fall into various trials,

knowing that the testing of your faith, the testing of

your faith produces what patience. Oh, I need to dwell

on this just for a Minuteladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters, leaders, partners,

people are here for the very first time listening to this.

One of the greatest testings. I'll say it again. I

said it earlier, but I'll say it again, is going

to be your patience. It's not even just the testing

of faith. We know that it's for sure. The Bible

even says the testing of your faith. My faith is

being tested. But what God is after is patience, because

I tell you what a lot of you were closed to,

short changing yourself and short changing your loved ones, and

short changing God because not because of faith or the

lack of it, or the more of it or the less. No,

if you have faith, but what you may not have had,

and what you may not even have realized that was

under testing is patience. So when you learn to surrender,

you learn patience. You say God, I used to ask you,

please get this done as quickly as you can. Now

I just say, God, you know exactly what time you

need to do this in me, You know exactly how

much time a cake needs to be in the oven

to bake. I can look at the cake rising and

I say, can this please be finished in five minutes?

And the baker, well, no, no, it's not gonna take

five minutes. And if you take the pen too quickly

out of the oven it falls flat and becomes nothing.

You will spoil the whole process. So many of us

will have learned to look through the glass of that

oven and just enjoy the rising and say, God, I'm

not going to ask you to quicken. I'm going to

ask you have your way along. You know when this

will end, and when the and when this ends and

it's completed, it will come out much better version then

when he went in. Somebody say amen, you and I

will come out much better version with the power of

the Holy Spirit. And so many are going to enjoy

this well big cake. Patience. Patience. Patience is going to

be one of the most important thing you hear in

this message. Have patience surrendered to the Lord, trust in him.

Number two, Hope, don't lose hope. It's okay to hope,

my friends. It's okay. In fact, the Bible says that

hope is found in faith. Why because in Hebrews eleven,

Verse one, Now faith is the substance of things hope.

For faith is the substance of things hopeful. So if

you don't have hope, you don't have faith, because faith

needs the substance of hope or the substance that's hope

for so you remove hope, you remove faith. So start

with faith. Have faith that God is the good God.

Have faith that God has got good plans for you.

Have faith that God would never leave it and leave

you or forsake you. And through the testing of this faith,

you will have patience that will have its perfect work.

Patience having its perfect work means let patience run its course.

Let that cake rise to the top. Everything has a timetable.

Let patience not just be for a day, two days,

three weeks, four weeks. Let patience run its course. Give

patients a chance, don't rush it. Let patience and it shift.

You know, you ask your friend, hey, when can you

come out for a drink? Your friend looks at his

watch and says, my shift ends. Let patience have its shift.

Don't don't let it. Don't force it to come out earlier.

Don't have to come out later. Faith will produce patience,

and patience must be able to say my shift ends,

and when it ends, it is done. Let patience finish

its assignment, that you may be perfect and complete, says

James one verse two to four. Lacking nothing, Let's go

back now to hope. I pray in the name of

Jesus that all of you going through a breaking now

will not lose hope. Why because we have love at

the end of the day. Friends, it is love. So

one day I found myself on this same floor where

I'm doing this recording. Not only is my left leg

injured and I can't put any weight and pressure on it,

my right leg, the knee was completely inflamed. Why because

I had put all the weight of my body trying

to walk on one leg, and so that one leg

was totally overuse, overcompensated, and no one was around. Passenger

was downstairs. I didn't want to call out for her

because I didn't want to burton her. But friends, a

full grown man who has been independent for so many years,

doing almost everything on his own, if he can found

himself on that one day not being able to stand

to his feet, not being able to get up, I

felt like I was punched in the face, in the

stomach by the devil, God allowed it, and I was

down for the count. And though I tried so much

to push myself up, I couldn't. A grown man that

felt worse than a child, felt worse than even someone

who was disabled. I had legs, but I couldn't use them.

My hands were so tired trying to push my body up,

and I felt tears running down my face. I was

a broken man. And I was on the floor for

twenty minutes, almost giving up. And pass Andrew came up

and tried to hold me up, but she couldn't because

you know, I'm so much heavier. And I said say

and said no, no, no, no, stop, stop because I

didn't want her to hurt her bag or hurt her hands.

And there you go. Even with help, I couldn't get up.

But there was a breaking process. In fact, can I

say this, probably in the last two months, one one

of the lowest moments, God brought me to that place.

Some people will say God brought me to my knees. Well,

I was lowered at my knees, I was on my back.

But then as the devil tried to lie to me,

where's your God, Where's your God? Towards the end, of

that ordeal. God spoke to me. He says, Canneth, do

you believe I still love you? Hallelujah? I tell you

what it took faith to believe. And as I said, yes, Lord,

I believe that you love me. You gave your only

begoden son to die on the cross for me. What

more the scriptures all began to come into my mind,

into my heart, my spirit. If God gave his only son,

what more will he not do for you? And as

I was being ministered to by the Holy Spirit, the

love of God just began to flood my soul, fill

my mind. My questions were not answered, but then they

didn't have to be anymore, just to know that God

loved me. And so I calmed down. Instead of fighting,

I surrendered. Instead of being angry, I was thankful, Thank

you Lord, and you love me. And with that I

felt a lightness come into my body. And slowly but

surely I got myself up, set myself down, and from

there I got myself, you know, using the crutches. Slowly

but surely I got myself to the bed. And at

the bed, of course, I was at a safe place

and safe space, and I got myself ready to go

to sleep, But before I slept, I just realized how

powerful the love of God is and why the Bible

says the greatest of these is love, because in those

times when you just can't answer the bombardment of questions

that your way, you just need to know.

That whatever it is, you have a God who loves you,

who will never stop loving you. And because he loves you,

he will always end well. Even the cross ended well.

The most painful situations, circumstances, conditions, the greatest of these

is love. That's why the Bible says love covers a

multitude of sins. Is like the love of God that

they came upon me and just covered a multitude not

just of sins.

But of questions and of pain, and of doubt and

the possibility to sin by just giving it all up

turning away from God. The devil wants you to do that.

The devil wants me to do that the greatest of

Jesus Love. May faith, hope, and love sustain you as

it has sustained me. I'm a broken person, but I'm

thankful to God for this process, for this hour, for

this cave experience. This is discipleship. Ladies and gentlemen, brothers,

and sisters. Disciple first is not always easy. It's not

always Bible study, church meetings, nice suits, beautiful dresses, lunch

after worship service. It's not always mission trips added with

shopping and good food. It's not always nice. It's not

always easy. God is after something in my life and

in yours, and brokenness is the only way. But when

he's done, it's going to be amazing, it's going to

be beautiful, it's going to be powerful. I'm a broken person,

but I'm a broken person in the hands of a

loving father. Remember what Jesus said. He said, this is

how you should pray our Father. See how the Lord

was so wise to start with our Father. He didn't

even say our God. He didn't even say Oh Mighty One.

He didn't even say the God of Israel. He didn't

say he didn't use any of those words because he

knew that at the end of the day, you and

I need a father. We don't just need a god.

We don't just need a judge. We don't just need

a Holy One of Israel. We don't just need a master,

a boss. We need a father, a father who loves us,

a father who ran to his bodigal son because he

could never forsake him. That's his claim. You are his claim,

you are his son, you are his daughter. Now, if

there's anyone watching and you have never opened your heart

to receive Jesus Christ into your life, let me say

today is the perfect day. This hour is the perfect hour.

You will be also able to call my father, our father,

who are in heaven Hell would be thy name. Let's

close our eyes for a moment, bow our heads. I

want to lead you in a prayer, especially those of

you who have never received Christ. You might be going

through a breaking and your brokenness doesn't seem to end

and doesn't seem to even have a purpose. But now

that you have heard the word of the Living God,

and you've heard that we call him father, and you've

heard that he loves you, though you can't understand why

you have to go through this, well, let me pray

for you. Just repeat after me. Eyes are close, hits

a bow, Just repeat after me, Just pray our father, Father.

I know that you love me. You gave me your

only begoden son, Jesus Christ. And the Bible says, if

you have given me Jesus, what more would you not

do for me. You are a good God. You have

a purpose for my life. You have a plan that

though I may never understand, I know that is good

for me. I myself may never know what's good for me,

but God who made me knows what's good for me.

And so now today I close my eyes, bow my heads,

close my eyes and bow my head and open my

heart to you, O Lord, to you, Lord Jesus, and

I want to pray that you come into my heart.

Forgive my sins, forgive my arrogance, forgive my pride, forgive

my bitterness, my sense of self righteousness, my sense of

self dependence. Oh Lord, I come today to you to say,

I recognize that I can't even breathe if you didn't

give me breath. I can't even walk if you didn't

give me strength. I can't live if you didn't give

me life. I'm nothing without you. I recognize that. Today,

Oh Lord, I pray. I pray for the people right

now who want to open their hearts to you and

receive you as their savior. Lord, and repeat after me,

Lord Jesus, come into my life, be my Lord and

my savior. Fill me now with your holy Spirit, come less,

invite the Holy Spirit to feel you. The Bible says

that when you have put your faith in God, he

gives you the right to become His child. Lord. I

thank you for every one of these who have invited you,

Lord Jesus into their hearts, that today they have become

children of God. They have become believers, and even through

their brokenness, or Lord, they will find how real you

are and how much you love them. And Father, for

the rest of the people watching, come on, everybody, lift

up your hands as I close. May the Lord bless you.

May the Lord strengthen you. May the Lord give you peace.

May the Lord teach you how to surrender trust Him

and receive is love today in a deeper way. May

the Lord make you a different man and a different

woman at the end of your breaking. May there be

surrender at the end of your breaking. May there be

breakthrough at the end of breaking. May there be a

different you. May God prepare you as he's preparing me,

for the greater things that he has in store. And

let us say, as we close, nevertheless, not my will

but yours be done. Lord, heal your people. Everyone out

there who's listening to the sound of My voice, and

having ailments and sickness and pain and brokenness in their body.

May the power and the anointing of the Holy Spirit

right now, go through the screen in the name of Jesus.

Power of the Holy Spirit, and the annoying thing that

breaks every yo go through the screen right now. Come on,

lift up your hands and receive touch. Touch, touch, touch, touch, touch,

touch Touch your.

People, Oh God, everywhere, everywhere, from the back of this

hall to the front, from side to side, even people

watching in the overflow room, people who could be at

the hospitality now preparing for food, listening to the sum

of my voice.

Be healed in the mighty name of Jesus. Be healed

in the name of Jesus. Healed. Receive your healing right now.

Receive your deliverance, receive your blessing in the mighty name

of Jesus. We have prayed, and everybody say Amen. Amen,

the Lord bless you. I hope to see you soon.

Take care, have a great weaker hit God bless
