  1. You're listening to a message to go from X church. We hope this message

  2. will light up your day. I was asking the lower to speak. You

  3. know, sometimes you get you know a few things that you know you want

  4. to share to the church, and I've got this message is that let's not

  5. grow old to all for Jesus. Cool as you could see. Now you

  6. know why the message is much needed, need it, you know, But

  7. really that you know, there's so much life in Christ. Could you turn

  8. to look chapter eight? Look chapter eight. Okay, so it goes.

  9. It was that Jesus entered and the multitude welcome him, for they were all

  10. waiting for him. The Bible here says that Jesus came to a particular place

  11. the multitude, the people was waiting for Jesus. I'm not sure how many

  12. of us here this morning that you are hoping and waiting for God to do

  13. something, but yet not engaging the Lord. There's too many Christians right now

  14. are just waiting, coming to a place, waiting for God because in worse

  15. for the One, and behold that came a man called Gyrous. You could

  16. be like the multitudes whereby just coming to church wishing something to happen, or

  17. you could be like Gyrus. Lord, I need a breakshoe. Lord,

  18. I need a break shoe in our Christian world. I pray that you become

  19. more like Gyrus, whereby we just can't. The word is accept things in

  20. our life and like cannot be changed. I pray that you become a spirit

  21. of gyrosy Lord, I have a dying doctor in my house. I need

  22. your intervention. I pray you'd be like Gyrius. This morning, I say,

  23. God, unless you move, my daughter will be dead. Because too

  24. many christ just coming to church, whereby not having engaging the power of God,

  25. not engaging the Holy Spirit, and yet go back empty and be satisfied.

  26. We're just coming to church, you and I this morning with the words

  27. that we need to be like Gyros and God. Unless you move in my

  28. business, I'm dead. Unless you move with my family, I'm dead.

  29. Unless you do something in my life, I'm dead. We can live a

  30. Christian life, you know, be a fitful Christian coming to church. But

  31. is that all God wants to do? Is that all the law wants us

  32. to do? This morning? Because the Bible here says Gyros was desperate.

  33. Gyros had the situation I know that everyone of us here is experiencing a challenge

  34. financial, health, family, all life. Obviously I'm going through some things,

  35. but we just accept things like they are. Cannot be changed. Cannot

  36. be changed. It can be with servant or mighty God that cannot come in

  37. to all life. Friends. A Christian work is by the work of faith,

  38. not by sight. Today you may be going through some things, but

  39. it's not forever. So worse For the one Gyvers came and he was a

  40. ruler of the city God. He fell down at the field of Jesus.

  41. The multitudes did not by Gyvers did I prayed that this morning, that there

  42. is a spirit, reliness, a God. I need to humble myself.

  43. The Bibles is in the Book of James, draw near to God, friends,

  44. and he would draw near to you. Whomas drawers, come on,

  45. Church, who mus drawers, come on? Church holds drawers. You and

  46. I need to humble ourself to draw near to God. But what stops us

  47. from drawing you to God? Right? Stops us from drawing near to God?

  48. Friends? Sometimes we think that just because we are serving, just because

  49. we are giving the ability to give, the ability to serve, we think

  50. that we have a huge. The world is a humble heart. The true

  51. humility is when we sick the Lord in everyday. God, I need you

  52. in my life. God, I need you in my life Like givers,

  53. Givers went not on these knees. They say, God, I need you

  54. you and I this morning? Friends, how is a heart? How is

  55. a posture? Where was the last as? We actually say? God,

  56. unless you move, I don't care what my neighbor have to say. I

  57. don't care about my wife have to say. God, I need to stick

  58. your face because unless you move, my daughter is dead. Givers humble himself

  59. before the Lord. Why someone us don't have a breakshoe because we have this

  60. pride within us, just because we have a big bank account, we have

  61. never sought the Lord. I can't say this right now. Study older than

  62. they. I was meeting a guy um at the cafe and he was asking

  63. me, how am how how are you? I say that about and for

  64. the eight he's in no way said twenty years my senior. I say yeah.

  65. I said, I also that you look like somebody beating thirty five.

  66. So I did that ascond buy your lunch. But here's the thing, friends,

  67. it is not the length of time just because that we have more time

  68. in our life, I don't need to seek the Lord. God will bring

  69. us to a place of dependency on him. God will bring us to a

  70. place where might be a good crowding for more of him. Friends, what's

  71. the use of money when our chiling are not following the Lord? You can't

  72. pay your way out of a situation. There will be days whereby our health

  73. will be challenged. Although you have excess, so greater health care about true

  74. health comes from the Lord. So I would say a man, some of

  75. us here have difficulty in studying. Friends, you can't pay your way.

  76. I need to study better, So you put in fifty in it somewhere to

  77. deposit a better brain. You can't. And most times where we are with

  78. our heart reveals, friends, because givers have tried every physician, but yet

  79. nothing happened. How many of you know that Jesus did not reject Gyros because

  80. the Bible is so true to his word. If you were to humble yourself

  81. and sick my face, God says he will turn and look towards us.

  82. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you, James.

  83. So when Gyvers went on his knees, friends and ask God and bank God,

  84. please come to my house. The Bible says that Jesus have decided Gyros

  85. will come to your house. Some of us say, have not had a

  86. busy station from Lord for the longest time. That's why we are dry,

  87. we are cranky, we are moody. When we moved away from the love

  88. of friends, we begin to focus a lot of things on the external.

  89. Have you been complaining about different things? Have you been complaining about different things?

  90. God? Why do you give me this wife? You'll be a lot

  91. of friends. But I've counsel many people when before I love the Lord brought

  92. me together and the author I do, and I do. Both of them

  93. say, in the presence of the Lord one month time later, let't say

  94. why you're one month? Why do you give me this wife? Why do

  95. you give me this husband? Some of you saw the Lord, God give

  96. me confirmed which university I need to enter, and the moment you step fall

  97. into it go white, so tougher. And that's the thing. Friends.

  98. A lot of times we don't understand what the Lord wants to draw out from

  99. us. So Gyrous bagged the Lord, and the Lord say I would come

  100. and say it worse for the party two, for he had one daughter right

  101. tralve years of age. He was dying, but as he went, the

  102. multitude begins to trong him, begin to surround Jesus. You know, there's

  103. too many churches are just building a multitude around Jesus but not engaging in his

  104. supernatural power in our daily life, in our daily walk. And that's why

  105. sometimes the word is that we get so burned out, so tired, because

  106. it can be friends that they they reknew their strength in the Lord. They

  107. shall run, They shall wait upon the Lord. They shall we knew their

  108. strength. They shall wait upon the Lord. They shall reknew that strength.

  109. Those that wait upon the Lord of friends. Those that wait upon the Lord

  110. shall we knew. There come our church be a bit more excited. Those

  111. that wear upon the lor shall amen. Friends, You and I today kneed

  112. to know that Jesus answers to desperate hats crying. Jesus, who answered a

  113. desperate heart cry, He did not, as Gyus Jarius, how much do

  114. you give your ties an offering? Jesus did not, as Gius Genius,

  115. have you been faithful to coming to churchen on? Jesus did not as Jarus,

  116. Jius, have you been going to homes or not? Jesus responds to

  117. the hart cry of Gyus because Gyus was a place of desperation, a place

  118. of honesty, and a place whereby God, unless you move, I'm date

  119. many times the old Christian life, we build up pride just because we are

  120. alive. We are well fed, everything is taken care of. There is

  121. no need to engage. I'm going to say this again. The Bible says

  122. that be of good cheer. I've overcome the world. But in this world

  123. you have trans and tribulation. Everything is going to go for or shaking.

  124. Friends, unless you prepare your faith, unless you prepare your spirit to what's

  125. to come. Friends, most of us who crumble under the pressure. Let

  126. me go down all the way to worse. For denying, well, Jesus

  127. was on the way there. Someone came up to the ruler Verse for denying,

  128. someone came up to the Gyrus and say to him, your daughter is

  129. there. Don't trouble the teacher. Your daughter is there, don't trouble the

  130. teacher. As apparent, friends, you'll be she'll be angrish, You'll be

  131. in this. The word is that you do not you have loss for words,

  132. losing someone, for losing your one and only daughter, losing your child,

  133. losing your daughter for twelve years and many times you just accept things like

  134. this. You could have a situation for twelve years, but I won't let

  135. you know. With one touch from Jesus, he can change your life.

  136. Chi could be coming to church for twelve years, over twelve months, twelve

  137. days, feeling like or just like any other church. But one touch from

  138. the Savior, from the Master, he can change your life. You and

  139. I need to be excited because the modern day church has lots. It's grassroots,

  140. it's the world is the world is engagement with the spiritual world. Friends,

  141. it can be friends that when you buy a piece of property, friends,

  142. you walk in there, your hairstads, because there's a spirit living in

  143. there. You just accepting like this. I was just sharing one part church

  144. plant that you know back in those days where you start when church bosum begin

  145. to um be planted one passon. We just sharing that. When I started

  146. the church, the first thing that a lot of my church partners asked me

  147. to come to do was house cleansing because there's evil spirits in the house.

  148. I don't know how we always are pre pair to do. It was spirits

  149. homeliness. I pray that you got phone calls to do house cleansing and all

  150. the partners amen, like your life homeliness. I pray that you'll be The

  151. word is that you'll be excited to the house cleansing, because that's even spirit

  152. of the house and not giving rest to the partners. Friends, you have

  153. the authority of God to go in there to cleanse the house. Someone say,

  154. amen, it's because you have never engaged before. We are not the

  155. words that we do not know and therefore or it was spirit called the elder,

  156. called the pastor. I was the one particular church say older would go

  157. and pray. I see why, because there's no pastor here, Friss.

  158. The title does dog means that you are more spiritual powerful, nothing at all.

  159. It doesn't mean just because that you are elder than you have more power.

  160. And two many Christians this thing that all. I'm just the words that

  161. we have, the words we have categorized ourselves to a few labors. I'm

  162. just a churchgoer. Did the Bible ever categorized Christian not? I'm setting very

  163. passionately about this because I truly believe this is what the Lord wants to say

  164. to us. Jivers. Your daughter is dead like that, Lord, you're

  165. late. That's twice. Do you know how many times you pass a problem

  166. back to the Lord God? If you only, if only you come on

  167. time, If only you come on time, my daughter will be alive.

  168. Why on earth do you take time to talk to other people? How many

  169. times you have blamed God for things that he didn't do? Come on now

  170. in your Christian how many ties you blamed the Lord God? Why why this

  171. happened? A Lord? I have come with sorry if I same time shouting

  172. all right? Okay? Have come to let you know friends, that in

  173. my many years of doing church, there are a lot of times people blame

  174. God for everything. When you know right? First of all, no kapa

  175. God? Why you as we come to church? But this chess? Are

  176. you look at the kapack situation? Number one? God, I come to

  177. church, but there's no one ring getting in my wallet? Cannot last?

  178. Last time? You have to put one ring, gett to pay the packing

  179. Right, I'll praise a lot you can touch and go hallelujah. Even then,

  180. friends, even then, there's there's creeches Right now, right. I

  181. see people carry up because the camera canno. They take a number plate.

  182. But anything we complained about everything coming to church or your wife so black,

  183. so that one whel black one. Everything is dark colored. Friends, I'm

  184. not sure where you are with your life. But let's stop putting the blame

  185. back to God. God. I follow you, I trusted you. But

  186. why is my life like that? Turn with me right now in the book

  187. of I think book of met you. Let me see I met you,

  188. met you? Xt I give it this script chrees it's somewhere there. So

  189. sorry, I I think it's Matthew chapter one. Ask XTV, yes,

  190. give me a moment. I lost my scripture. Yes, Matthew fourteen metthew

  191. Chapter fourteen. Just turn me me there for a moment, Matthew Chapter fourteen.

  192. Here here we go fourteen US trainy two, fourteen US training two.

  193. Okay, it's about Jesus walking on the seat right immediately he made his disciples

  194. to get into the boat. Come on, right now, Why did the

  195. disciples get into the boat? Friends? Open book? Answer? Why did

  196. the disciples get into the boat. Jesus made his disciples to get into the

  197. boat. Sometimes your life, the things you do is because you God led

  198. you. God led you to a company. God led you to a college.

  199. God let you to a life partner. God let you to a church.

  200. God led you to a business contract. God let you because you know

  201. you pray for it, and God let you. You say words like God

  202. give you the peace, God confirmed picks in my heart. But the Bible

  203. here says the moment they got in to the boat worse twenty four. But

  204. the boat was now in the middle of the sea, tossed by wave for

  205. the wind, most country. Who caused them to get into the boat?

  206. Come on right now, Church who let them to the boat? Come on,

  207. Church who let them to the boat? Come on, church who let

  208. him to the boat? Friends, God let them to a boat. And

  209. the Bible says worse twenty four. They were in the middle of the See

  210. what happened? Waves and red waves and wind In your life, friends,

  211. there'll be waves and wind that's blowing you, tossing you left and right.

  212. It is no fun. If you ever walk against the wind, is really

  213. tough not to forget. So it's so very cool, but it's hard,

  214. not a nice feeling. Do you see the disciples? God, why do

  215. you let us in the middle of of the c and right now we're facing

  216. this too. Many Christians just God, why did you? Why did you?

  217. Why did you? If you ever cut yourself blaming God, I just

  218. cube perous, pray that you humbler, I said, God, forgive me,

  219. because it was God that led the disciples into the boat and no one

  220. else and many times a Christian bold, Friends, God will lead us to

  221. a place whereby God will used the wind and the ways to reveal what's in

  222. our hearts. Come on, right now, God will use the wind and

  223. the ways to reveal the faith in our hearts. I'm gonna say it again,

  224. God is good. Use the wind and the waves to reveal what's in

  225. your heart. Because God will always bring your place whereby what used to know,

  226. where your security used to be. Friends, it will not be because

  227. you don't have the land access to land anymore. You are in see whereby

  228. your life is only by the mercy and the grace of God. You're like

  229. today, Friends, will come to a place whereby God wants to reveal and

  230. the rerelation, friends is not for you to complain. Friends, the revelation

  231. is not for you to complain because in our Christian world friends. Many Christians

  232. like to complain, but instead friends. The Bible here says the verse twenty

  233. five, now the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went to them walking

  234. on the sea. Even though you are tossed to and fro maybe Christ out

  235. to God. The Bible reassures us that he will come to us first.

  236. I was speaking to people who really works that you are in the situation because

  237. no one else could help you. You came to church this morning not looking

  238. for a good, good sense, good feeling, or good sensation. You

  239. keep the ches because you wanted the brickshoe. You wanted a direction. Many

  240. times in a Christian Bard, when you're in the middle of seeing peach darkness,

  241. friends, you can know where to turn to but to the Lord.

  242. You and I today need to have this spirit of God. Unless you come

  243. to me, I will be drowning. The Bible here says, even the

  244. peach darkness, God is walking towards us. Someone need to be a reassured

  245. of that. It was the midst of your darkness. No way out.

  246. God is already at work. God is already at work in your life.

  247. It though we can't see, friends, it is really a work in your

  248. life, even though you can't see it. First, didn't know that we'll

  249. get this place, don't We don't know. This place used to be a

  250. former disco. Some of you know it. It was really bad. Some

  251. of the pillars around you right now used to be toilets, toilets. The

  252. espressional area used to be something else. The foot so called area used to

  253. be a something else. Every worker that came away here to work, we're

  254. free to go to the to the foot so called area. Because they said

  255. when they're working, they felt it was spirit. They ask us whether it

  256. could be Could they do their normal thing? We say no. We s

  257. say, don't worry, we'll take care of it. You need to have

  258. this confidence for it. No matter what the world choose that you. If

  259. the lot is with you, nothing can be against you. See that's why

  260. our faith, the Bible say, is so precious. And may time we

  261. think our faith is just to do a bit on Sunday. It can be

  262. friends, it can be there. Your faith is just I'm good on Sunday.

  263. I just give you a bit offering. I'm good, all right,

  264. I'm well to can care of our life. Friends. The word is the

  265. venture with the Lord has to be so much more. It regardless how young

  266. or how younger you are. And they say, oh, I say how

  267. young or how younger you are, God has an adventure for you. That's

  268. why I want encourage everyone to go missions. Yeah, come on right now,

  269. friends, before it's not thinking. You know, I don't want to

  270. punishes no, friends, what would you preach at the mission field? Friend?

  271. You tell me what would you Why are you going to preach at the

  272. mission field? Why are you going to share with the people about your journey

  273. of faith, your life of faith, how to study well? Because at

  274. the mission field, first they have not been to school, some of them.

  275. What would you share at the field that we're encouraged their faith? The

  276. only thing you can share is God is faithful, and God will be true

  277. to his work. When you pray, you will listen. And many times

  278. our own warld friends, the only reason why we are dumbers because we've never

  279. engaged the Lord. The Bible here says it was twenty five fourth watch Jesus

  280. ran to them walking on the sea. Now, I was trying to say

  281. the disciples are walking at the scene. They were trouble saying it the ghost.

  282. They crowd in fear. Why would the disciples see Jesus walking on water

  283. and the crowding ghost plain reasons is because they have not seen this sight of

  284. God. When you can see people working from the author, people being prayer,

  285. a slean, some of mercy. All they're doing a f show or

  286. being pushed down. Or maybe is that the preacher's hand was smelly. That's

  287. why they're failed. And because we're the familiar with something, we come up

  288. with human reasoning it's a ghost, friends, It can be just because we

  289. are so unfamiliar with the supernatural that we just say, oh, this is

  290. something else. How many, even though the God really wants the world is

  291. to see us strive, even though this time, yeah, how many of

  292. us really want to see God working in our life. There we are men

  293. than just earning more than a wage. There we can. We are here

  294. on earth for significance, for a reason, and for a purpose. You

  295. and I today, friends, You are not called here just to exist.

  296. We are called here to live for the glory of God, to do his

  297. purpose and his view. It says, here, what's you're in? The

  298. seven? They immediately Jesus to them, be of good cheer. It is

  299. I do not fear. Do not be afraid, Do not fear, be

  300. of good cheer. It is I friends, when you are familiar with the

  301. Lord. Friends, that's why to be a fearful faith it's always taking the

  302. first step, not knowing how the Lord's going to take the next step.

  303. For us, many times you're served by faith friends, we are not very

  304. sure it was the next step, but we can be very sure that God

  305. is leading us. When was the last time, really that the act of

  306. faith was so evident in our life? We know this is the Lord telling

  307. you, where was the last time we actually see God? Here? I

  308. am Lord. I want to come out because I know that you're speaking to

  309. me. It can be our faith friends there were alive in doing our campus

  310. days. When became a young working a doubt is dormant right now. The

  311. older we go, the more report to seemer than after their capt It can

  312. be friends, life is so much more than that first. It can be

  313. that when you used to go for missus only when we are younger, when

  314. we grow older cannot It can be friends who used to serve firmly to the

  315. Lord. When you are older and no time one day you and I need

  316. to give an account. What will you see to God the Lord? At

  317. least how I normally challenge people that's under my care. I say, you

  318. look at the face of Jesus and you just imagine what Jesus will say to

  319. you if you decide to stop serving. And most time their response like I

  320. look at Jesus, I don't know want to say to you exactly what reasons

  321. are you going to tell God? God? Have you enough for serving you?

  322. When all the time you're so consistent, of friends, He's been blessing

  323. you, protecting you, leading you, guiding you. Come on, leading

  324. you, guiding you, and many times what happened? God, you don't

  325. understand I love you by hit your people. I love you by God.

  326. You have you heard of these people could call your disciples? It is so

  327. tough to work with them. Lord. I don't mind what give you,

  328. Lord, because you and I come ching, Lord? But what gave you

  329. your disciples? This is the next level, friends, That's what you need.

  330. Their faith. That's why Jesus say, come on, be of good

  331. ship. It is I, do not be afraid. It is I that

  332. called you into the boat. Come on our church. It is I that

  333. led you to the church. It is a lie that led you to the

  334. business, to led you to the entity they're working right now, that company

  335. you're working with. It is I that led you to the university. Friends,

  336. if God can lead you to a place, do you think you'll abandon

  337. you? If God can lead you to a place, you'll think he'll abandon

  338. you. I was talking the past the one day you know, the Legacy

  339. Project really taught us me and pasted up a lot of lessons about faith.

  340. Faith. It's not one place whereby you have everything, then only you start

  341. faith. It's not about everything, having everything only then you start. It

  342. is not Faith is a confirmation. God put in your spirit something a project,

  343. and say, God, give me a signment. God give you a

  344. a faith as small as a master to start. If you can provide initial

  345. for you, do you think that he'll provide the rest for you? Someone

  346. you need to be started in your faith. If God can start something your

  347. life, don't you think you'll bring it to completion? Or some of you

  348. don't really believe me. If God can start something in your life, I'm

  349. losing my voice. If God can start something in your life, friends,

  350. don't you think that you'll bring it to completion, And many times you abandon

  351. the project of faith in our life. Why cob because if you only you

  352. know I love you, I can worship you. But it's your disciples.

  353. I cannot stand. Why are use the way disciples? Because friends, many

  354. times you give out of faith, not because of the weeds of the wave,

  355. is because of the people in the boat. Come on right now.

  356. Many times you don't promise you really you don't probmise a wave. Isn't it

  357. true? We can think that we've in fact put me on everything I can

  358. see, serve by Lord, serving your other people. Come on, let's

  359. be honest here, because honestly really removes the power of pride God. I

  360. can take the winds in the way, but it's the people in the boat

  361. that cannot the hun And because of that I rather I rather think my chances

  362. with the winds and the wave shame on my own, rather than be in

  363. the boat. Pagos remained in the boat. Do you know how heart disease

  364. are when you're facing a life threatening situation with fellow fellow believers in the boat.

  365. Not you'll be one, There'll be one disciple, And definitely say that.

  366. Let's not praise of worship, there will be another possess it. You

  367. must have sin, you must have seen That's why we're facing this. You

  368. must have done something bad. I was reading the Book of Job. I'm

  369. still reading. Treat friends if you ever get the joke situation, A prayer

  370. that you don't have friends like job okay, prayer that you not have a

  371. life but they like Job did okay? The wife though jo joke just Curscott

  372. and just curs good and die. That's why we actually do very well,

  373. John, very well, John, you very only a one day. You

  374. don't become, as said anymore. Friends may be too much fun to get

  375. the ends with. Really, that's why friends, you and I the word

  376. is that it's you get one person say you must have seen it. That's

  377. because you sin. That's why you're phrasing the waves and the wind. See

  378. I told you do your devotion. Friends. I want to encourage you.

  379. God will bring us through the waves and the wind because he wants to reveal

  380. Come on right now, he wants to reveal the faith that's in our hearts.

  381. Commarright now. He wants to reveal the faith that's in our hearts.

  382. Because many times we think just because we are Christian, we are faith just

  383. because we say God, I made my Lord my civil the way is that

  384. we have hundred percent faith. Just because we can sing, it doesn't mean

  385. we can lead a worship service, because you and I need the nothing of

  386. God to lead a worship service. You and I need to humble ourselves saying,

  387. God, search my heart, Lord, if there's anything that's blocking your

  388. way, your wealth in my life. And he says, here, Peter,

  389. answer to him, worse than it. Lord, if it's you command

  390. me to walk on water. Lord, if it's you command me to walk

  391. on water. Friends, always love this God, help me, Lord,

  392. say it and I'll do it. Peter took the first steph friends, None

  393. of us problem with the first step, coming up to the author not an

  394. issue. Being paid for here's not an issue. But it's a second and

  395. third step that's a challenge because in the second and third step, the Bib

  396. verses Peter got his eyes off of Jesus and begin to look at the winds

  397. and a wave. And that's where most Christians that add, right now,

  398. God, I want to serve you, Lord. And you start serving and

  399. you begin to face difficulty and challenge. What normally goes out the window?

  400. God, what normally goes out the window? Friends? Have you observed your

  401. life the moment you hit the challenge? What reduces your commitment to the Lord,

  402. your desire to serve, with your desire to know him? When your

  403. type for time? What happens? God? I got no tipe for devotion?

  404. Maybe why minute prayer enough for me? I'm not knocking anybody down by

  405. prayer at this pointing. Let God reveal where we are. Because the Bible

  406. says when God reveals to Peter and the Disciples or ye r little faith,

  407. he's encouraging them to grow their faith, not to condemn them. When God

  408. reveals where the disciples are with their faith, it is not to condemn them,

  409. but the word is to nurture them back to health. Peter, God's

  410. eyes of Jesus. Friends, where is your eyes right now? Where have

  411. your eyes been looking at? Where have you been looking at? Friends?

  412. Because I can honestly let you know some of us God our eyes off Christ

  413. and we're just going with emotion and God once this morning to revive our hearts

  414. again, because we could be like the multitude surrounding Jesus. You know,

  415. to surround God is a very good feeling to say that you go to church

  416. ida my religious duty to give to do a bit. Yeah, I must

  417. be speechly okay, But God wants going something deeper in our hearts. Friends,

  418. Can you just say that God really wants to do something deeper in the

  419. hearts because if it only allow God to do with friends, you have an

  420. amazing story to tell to the Lord, amazing story to share with people.

  421. To me, remember back out to look chapter eight. Look chapter eight.

  422. I'm going from worse forty two right now. There's only one daughter and she

  423. was dying. Then he went and then a multitude strong him. My quest

  424. to your church this morning, why do you follow Jesus? Why do you

  425. follow Jesus? Why do we see God be my Lord, be my master,

  426. be my savior? Why is it because we almost like heaven like a

  427. spiritual emirate in a wallet, like the food in a wallet like that?

  428. So you understanding your problem, the Buddhist berger, you understand? Is it

  429. because of safety? Why do you follow Christ? Because the multitude follow him?

  430. But no being true? And that's why where Jesus is persecuted, they

  431. left and I will, I will let you know. If you don't,

  432. if you don't begin to engage God one day you live the faith because a

  433. moment trouble hits you, you will run. Moment you hit a wall,

  434. you run. But those have journeyed with a lot of friends, those have

  435. journeyed with the Lord, no matter what, they're still hold on to Christ,

  436. no matter what. I've met people in their seventies and eighties. I

  437. asked them, I say, do you tell me your life journey? They

  438. begin to share, except the Christ's parents disowned them, kick off from the

  439. family. This is modern times. You don't have people kick off family.

  440. Most probably your allow us get reduced by by a couple of hunger to knee,

  441. kick off from the family, stare out from the house, live in

  442. the servant with the servants quarters. They still follow Christ, still follow the

  443. Lord. Met a particular mom. She was telling me. You know,

  444. when I got married, my pastor told me, if you, if you

  445. had the husband, got the argument. You cannot hand your husband anymore.

  446. You stay in the marriage, you work it out, You pray to the

  447. Lord, you pray to God, ask God to change something in your marriage.

  448. And to look at her. I say, I said, what do

  449. you do with this knowledge. I told my daughter that, I said,

  450. daughter, you cannot leave the marriage. You pray, ask God to intervene,

  451. and God will come true for you, no matter how hard it is.

  452. If your husband be unfaithful, forgive, I'm just hearing this why she

  453. was telling me. I was like, Wow, I say, how many

  454. years you've been to disciplership school and nothing? Why? I just why would

  455. my pastor say I would just do it these days? You authority or something?

  456. Let me Let me seek an expert opinion. First, friends, trust

  457. us and believe in these friends. God does have a plan for you,

  458. not the words, not to stifle for you, not to put you down,

  459. but to lift you up. So worse for the tree. Now there

  460. was a woman floy with issue of blood. Friends, you got to see

  461. the seven in between Giver's story. Or was this lady with with the issue

  462. of blood? The Bible here says that she said to herself, all right,

  463. she said to herself, if all ther I could touch the hem of

  464. God before they can't touch his close and remake well. Friends, Faith is

  465. a place whereby even before you receive it, you're already proclaim it, even

  466. before you receive it, you're already proclaiming it. She said to herself,

  467. if only I could touch his clothes and remain well, you know who's who

  468. reminds her story reminds me of we're hap in josh chapter two. We're happing

  469. in Josha chapter two. Heard what the Law has done at the way,

  470. see her faith gets stirred. She heard what the law done to the kings

  471. with for the children of Israel. She said that the house of the people

  472. melted. But these days we tell people out in one God providers to this

  473. place. Must we are good negotiation skills? Law, God heal this person.

  474. It's only Cancelednima, not raising from the dad God provided for this family.

  475. Hi must be one generous Christian and givet law. We have the ways

  476. that when we hear testimoniy of the Lord, friends, it must still our

  477. hearts and our spirit to believe God. Friends, Where have hurt friends?

  478. She wasn't even that she hurt what the Lord has died at the rain seat.

  479. And she said that I begin to believe there's too many Christian God cities.

  480. All right, I mean offense some of you, but I'm going to

  481. city to Christian hurt. What the lives done. Just sick like that la

  482. my life I will change. It is like that law. I just come

  483. to church, believe church. Okay, how many of you know that those

  484. who actually cut it the life will that will be the same again were heam

  485. was in the city of Jericho. I'm sure there's bother a thousand plus people

  486. a minimum. I'm sure that this story of this news world, the law

  487. has done and the race he wasn't just told to rehab alone. Wasn't a

  488. whisper by the side of the compete. I'm there. I'm sure the story

  489. of God delivering the child of Razio to the race was shared to every every

  490. tribe, every people grew. But those that believe, friends, those that

  491. believe, those that believe, the life will change because the rayhab and the

  492. whole family, the whole household. The Bible says in those two got saved.

  493. I don't know how many more convincing do we need without faith to believe

  494. God. I don't know how many overs hear these more stories of faith to

  495. be stirred up to believe God. I don't know how many overs see to

  496. hear more evidence of the supernatural than only you believe it. Was greater,

  497. or maybe you said, how that past a stage? Really, as I

  498. close right now, friends, I'm just going to see this in verse.

  499. You know that she was here right worse for the aid. He said to

  500. her daughter, be of good cheer. Your faith has made you well.

  501. Go in peace. He didn't refer to the lady as a woman and clean.

  502. Jesus used the word daughter. Acceptance. Acceptance. Friends, some of

  503. us here have been trying so hard, really so hard, to do what's

  504. right, to put food on the table, to work two or three jobs,

  505. to do everything within our powers, sacrifice everything just to provide. But

  506. this is one of the lowes to remind you that you are his child.

  507. Here's your our father, the devil. I think this is how the devil

  508. works. He wants to isolate us. He wants to isolate you. You

  509. know that about the Trinity fathers on the Holy Street. They're very tight together,

  510. constantly in community one another. But the devil knows he cannot break this

  511. bond. He goes after the shipp to bring you off from the flock,

  512. to bring you off from people, to let you be alone. That's what

  513. the devil did to Eve Eve for us alone in the garden, and some

  514. of you've been alone for too long in your thoughts, in your hearts.

  515. But the serpent begin to connor eve friends, some of us being connect We

  516. don't even know it. We think it's very natural. We begin to entertain

  517. thoughts ideas that it wasn't from the Lord, but it sounded very wise in

  518. the eyes of people, And too often we get the more we begin to

  519. entertain, the more heart begin to us begin to so distrust to the Lord.

  520. I've accepted a Lord age of sixteen. I remember when the day I

  521. gave up my life, gave my life up to the Lord. I have

  522. to walk down a cinema out to receive Jesus. Everyone was looking at me.

  523. I was walking out the out there, I thought there will be at

  524. least three of more people of friends. I was the only one right in

  525. the middle of the church in front there and the speaker to lift up her

  526. hands. I didn't really know what was happening. I just felt that I

  527. needed to give my life to the Lord. But that was the beginning of

  528. a journey that God began to unfol in my life. Had the privilege of

  529. just doing church. So many people, so many precious people that God has

  530. brought to this church. Do you know that we have turned and began to

  531. see healing in marriages? In our church we saw physical healing. First,

  532. what would you say to a person that from three give on one to give

  533. up his life? Mean to say that normal hope and from three drop up

  534. from school and the only thing he knows is how to fight. And the

  535. job interview you go for is to be a bodyguard. The first question was

  536. asked, or do you how to use a gun to lead us in our

  537. church? Friends, precious little church? You don't say you know what?

  538. From three drop out? I can't help you. We can only do with

  539. you. You hold us any probably prayed together with him right now he's married,

  540. the kids having a house because of anything we have done. First,

  541. you don't give money. We just say let's pray together, trust a lot

  542. together, Let's read the word of God together. First, You and I

  543. need to believe and understand what thing God when comes to your life. Friends,

  544. your life will change. And many time you think, oh, have

  545. you coming to church not feeling anything? You like? The Moultitudes by givis

  546. dn Cat. The woman issued int cat because the woman knew they should be

  547. accepted by the Lord because Jesus said, dactor, your faith has made you

  548. well as a close Right now, friends, I pray that you allow your

  549. faith to lead your heart. I pray you allow your faith to a chance

  550. to grow. There's just too many people who behave like the maultitude are.

  551. It's okay as far as I follow the Church, I'm all right, yeah.

  552. But friends, is it all to life? Then you follow the multitudes

  553. the next grave of Christianity, the next wave of Christianity. Slightly older people,

  554. I'm speaking to you right now. God wants to rehire you for the

  555. things of the Lord. For the things of the Lord. Friends, how

  556. do you do understand the moment where I felt my knees couldn't take it?

  557. No more? Strength? Pray for strength. It can be the God just

  558. the way it's keeping your life all the way until the last day. On

  559. maintainance mod. What a way to live. There's no such thing as maintainers.

  560. More human hearts cry right now, Church, there is no such thing

  561. as maintainance mode. In the Lord. There has to be so much more

  562. to life that today. Friends, if we hear the word of the Lord,

  563. Friends, your faith must be activated. Your favors joy you eat and

  564. said, God, I need more of this. If it's you lead me,

  565. friends, when was the last time God give you an amazing testimony?

  566. Come on right now, Mission's conference coming out. I'm not selling the conference.

  567. I'm just asking you. Would you consider going and allowing God to speak

  568. to you. Gabriel our camp was said that Anywhere because he came for the

  569. first priority conference al or the anywhere city conference. He went it because God

  570. told him too no opening. He just applied, God, if you want

  571. us to go, You opened that door because I felt He said he felt

  572. Anywhere needs him, and God opened the door for him to go there.

  573. When was the last time he said? God? Would you move in my

  574. company? Would you move with my family? Would you move in my circumstances,

  575. in my finances? Or are we just like the mugitude of killer?

  576. It's all right, jerish your daughter's day, letting we don't discern the j

  577. anymore. This is it is what it is. It is what it is,

  578. cannot be changing. After all this death. Nobody can be resurrected.

  579. Nobody can be resurrected. Even God can resurrect death. Here my heart's cry,

  580. friends, I pray all of us here, and we'll exit earth.

  581. We'll go all the way to the end, believing, trusting, believing,

  582. trusting the Lord. We'll go all the way to end. Not the words,

  583. not limping to the end, by running to the end, friends,

  584. Friends, not limping to the end, but running through the end. Friends,

  585. not just the words crawling to the end, but running our spirits alive.

  586. As I close right now, can leave me to shower your just my

  587. just one passion that I have is this that, Friends, there's no suching

  588. ass retirement in the Lord, it can be that just some in God.

  589. We have to accept it at face value, like that, like a lot.

  590. Even I pray for you when nothing happens. My homes is like that.

  591. The people are not really excited. The winds and the waves are their

  592. friends. To review your faith. God, let you to a homes.

  593. God, let you to a place. It can't be God, let your

  594. place for you to die. It can't be gone like the homes for you

  595. to be spiritually dry up and God, this one wants to remind you.

  596. Friends, I led you to a place because I want you to walk of

  597. water. Friends, who will you be today? The multitude or Gyrus.

  598. Who will you be today? Friends, Peter, that walk of water or

  599. the rest is still on the board. Fir's who will you be today?
