Session 4 - Unpacking The Vision of Acts Church | Eld Terence Atkinson

You're listening to a message to go from acts church.

We hope this message will light up your tea.

So we talked about this in the last session. All right,

So taking stock is very important for us to take

stock of all the people God has given us and

to give a best to the people. Guys, do you

think it is so difficult to help somebody believe? Maybe

not all of us are called to go up on

the stage and preach. That's okay, you say, ah, I

can't preach. I don't have it in me to preach.

But do you realize that we are preaching by our action?

Do you realize our whole life is preaching when we

are living a life? What are we doing? We are

preaching because people are looking at us and they're seeing

these guys. I see them in church all the time.

They look so tired, but at the end of the day, something,

some miracle is always taking place. They always seem to

be blessed. Have you seen people like that and noted

that or not? Can I see a show hands? Have

you seen nobody here? Let's try that again. Have you

looked at people and seen how that they have been

living their life? And you notice that God's hands on

them and they have been blessed.

Have you seen that? Do you know why?

You notice that? Because their life is preaching to you guys.

Did they go up there and say, my life is

like this, like this, like this. No, not all of

us can do that, if you ask me. Sharing standing

up here and sharing with you, I look at all

the other people who come up and preach.

Eld the king Yard Elder rose Uh.

Pastor Kenneth and Pass said, look at all them. They do

it with such ease. What they You know when you

listen to them. Also, you can sense the love flowing

up from me. I don't know whether you can send

love flowing up from me or not. I tell God, God,

I don't. I don't know that, you know, I don't

see that. But el the Mabel said, God did not

call you to be like them. He called you to

share away. You share because God's not about you. Know.

Everybody's got their part to play. So that's what we

need to do. We take stock. And Pastor was sharing

a testimony about Laura. I don't know whether it's our

Laura or some other Laura about about her homes that

she wanted to close because it didn't seem that she

was making any hid way. When she went to the Lord,

and the Lord asked her one question, did you really

do your best? Then she thought to herself, I did

a lot, but maybe I didn't do my best. So

she resolved to do her best. And what she did

was she made sure she came to home. She was excited.

She you know, prepared food, made preparation, prayed for it,

and without forcing anything, her homies began to respond. Her

homies began to do their best. Her homies began to

give God their best. And do you know what happened

from the homes which felt so stressed and pushed and hard,

everybody was looking forward to coming to homes. What made

the difference was it that she did anything extra? What

she did was she realized that perhaps before I make

any decisions, I have to be sure that I give

it my best.

And God honored.

So, guys, I want you to know that there is

a difference many of the things we've heard before. We've

heard so many things over the last few weeks, over

the last few years about you know, the plans and

purposes of the church. You know, thank God, we have

a plan. Yeah, really, thank God, because I'll tell you this,

I would rather follow than lead. But we all leaders,

you know why we leaders because we learn to follow.

So when you learn to follow someone, in the process

of learning to follow someone, you're actually learning to lead.

And I can tell.

You all of us, all of you here are leaders.

Would you believe that? How many of you have children?

Raise your hands? I mean higher leaders, man.

Leaders?

You think one, you're not leading your kids? Taln go

near the edge, You'll fall in. What are you doing

your teaching them? Look left, look right, look left before

you cross the road. You know, my parents never taught

me that. That's why I got knock down. I had

to figure that out the hard way. I mean at two,

at eight years older. Who teaches at that time? And

nobody teach you how to cross the road? Okay, ah no, no, no, no, no.

Klang road a lot of cars.

Okay, this is it? What is that main road that

goes to port? What is it called now?

Before it used to be known as Jalon Togado. Now

it's Raja Muda.

It used to be known.

I think it's Jalon Galangado. Hey, there was a busy road. Okay,

one way, this way, one way, that way. Trust me,

I know.

Busy road. Nobody taught me look left, look right. I

just look one side cross Maybe I look the wrong side.

That's why not.

You know, I probably look the wrong sideler because it's

one way.

It's it's it's you know, like that head.

So you tend to forget that the traffic is moving way,

it's right or on. I remember once I was crossing

the road near Tanne and Tan building. You know that

is in care Okay, so in town is a tall building.

It's near it's near Jenan Mpang the cross road there. Anyway,

The thing is this, it's a it's two way too way.

The roads are going uh this way, and then you

cross and then the road goes the other way.

Right. So this time I did the right thing.

I learned how to cross the road after when I

said and again, so I looked beside, no car, I

crossed one motorcycle.

Boom, just buy me. The guy was going the wrong way.

Praise the Lord saved. So what's the difference?

You know, when we talk about this unpacking, what really

is God telling us? Why is God speaking to us

about the plans for the church.

Hey, guys, when you.

Okay, most of us know how to drive a petrol car, right,

So how many of us will actually look through the manual?

Craig now?

But certainly you buy yourself an electric car where you

have to plug in. The thing tells you got three

hundred kilometers left to go, but it doesn't tell you

if you push the engine hard and fast, maybe not

three hundred kilometers as some people. They will tell you.

Send me the car ran out of juice halfway on

the highway. You know why because they thought, wow, electric car,

two hundred kilometers became one hundred kilometers. What happens next?

The car has to be taught. But I promise you

if they read the manual, they would have realized. So

we are in the manual series now. It's actually helping us,

all right. It's putting our thoughts together, it's putting our

life together, so we know how to live for the

next ten years. What is God's saying? That's conviction. You're

convicted by what God tells you? Is it really?

Is it not? What are your leaders saying? Leaders?

What is the condition? Because what the the leaders do?

The leaders get along with the plan. This is what

I'm doing now, I'm helping you with the condition, all right,

And what.

Are you saying?

This is where you cooperate without cooperation nothing most you

know you must go away saying yes or no? Are

you running with the vision or not? Remember Jesus, after

hearing his disciples about him, asked.

Peter, what do you say I have?

Jesus is concerned with our personal impression or desire for him.

I got to tell you this that if we are

interrusted in God's things, God takes care of our things.

You know, we're so afraid. Oh, we got to do this.

We got to do this. So much of time, effort, energy.

When you are going through struggles with your own that's

the time you took onndamental.

Of being CPC. Was it easy?

There are a lot of sacrifices you had to make right.

Some of the sacrifices drove you crazy or not they did,

but you stuck through it, and all of a sudden

a miracle happened. I got to share with you at testimony.

Why does Elder mable and myself do the things that

we do.

I can tell you for me.

When I get up of bed in the morning, I'm

aching from head to foot my back hurts.

Now.

My latest thing is my knee is giving me trouble.

You know, it's pain. My body's in pain all the time.

But why do I do what I do?

You see?

Because at the end of the day, if I'm busy

doing God's things, if I'm still honoring God by what

I do, he takes care of my issues.

Yeah, I give you a testimony.

My daughter, Ashley, she called. She's a teacher in Kazakhstan.

She called Mabel and myself and said, I have a

growth in my neck and I'm going to get it

checked out. It was goiter. Goiter usually occurs as a

result of white ide in deficiency. The thyroid gland will

will swell, so when you look at her you can

actually see the swelling, and the swelling was beginning to

interfere with swallowing and her speaking. As a teacher, you

need to be able to speak freely, right. So what

happened was she said, I'm going for her. I'm going

for a medical examination. When she told us that, she

told Ala members, we said, don't worry, we will pray

for you. When we prayed for her, God spoke to

me and said cancer. God spoke to Eldemibel and said operation.

So she went for her test and she called me

one morning while I was in the office. And when

she called me, she said, they found something. They found something,

and it's very strange. A pastor never comes to my

office again, never passes because it's very it's got a

lot of things to do, you know.

But he was. He came.

He was just walking and he stood in front of

the door and he was talking to someone. But I

thought to myself, hey, he's not going away, he's still

standing there. And the Lord said, whatever you hear, talk

to him about it, okay. So she called me, my

daughter and she said, they found a growth. So the

first thing that I did was I told her get

a second opinion, get a second opinion. They went ahead

and they did it the second opinion. The results of

all the tests and the testings were sent to the

United States. The endochronologist, top professor in one of the

high highly known universities, went over the findings and concurred

with the original medal report. Get an operation immediately and

remove it.

Don't wait.

So the insurance company said, get it done here in

Malaysia so that you have your family around you. To

help you during the recovery stage. So she came back.

She came back at the end of November. She came

back at the end of November, and in the meantime

when the second result came, they said, it was very concerning.

Do it straight away, don't wait, do it straight away.

I had to sign. I had to find a surgeon right.

So we prayed and ask the Lord Lord leaders to

the correct person. So we asked all the doctors we know,

doctor Jerild, all the other doctors, can you help us

find a surgeon who knows this. So they came back

with surgeons. But these surgeons were not at experts in

this field. My daughter had to do a thyroid deck

to me, a complete removal of the thyroid glen which

is covering both sides with neck. So I went researching

and after going over many issues, I found a name

this doctor and he is a Subang Gai medical center.

I called him and cut a long story shot. I

got through and I found out that he is probably

one of the premius surgeons of this.

Kind of issue.

And he was telling us that. So anyway, he went

over the records and the reports and all that, and

I said this cannot wait. Can you do the operation?

He said, yes, when she comes, I need to examine

her first, but we will schedule for the opera. So

in December third, at three am in the morning, they

did the operation. The reason why it was supposed to

be the day before, but they did no operation because

another person was being operated on. The cancer was not

discovered and had spread from the neck all the way

to behind the ear, so that one went on for

so long. Decision was too tired.

So he.

Did the operation at three am in the morning. So

if you look my daughter, she's got a scar from

this side of the neck to six inches across the neck.

And when we met him the next day, so he said,

you know, got the whole thyroid out and the limb

notes around that area, and we will send it for examination.

So the next day when I saw him, so, I said,

was it benign? He said no, it was malignant, malignant cancer.

But he said, we got it all. There is nothing left.

She is completely okay. Praise the Lord. When God told

us these things, my daughter came back with that issue.

With the results, we were able to comfort her so

well because God had already told us.

What was going to happen.

So we weren't stressed out like most would be.

Almost might be.

Understandably in a situation like that, because God had prepared us.

You know why, because no matter how tired we are,

no matter how aching we are, we try to do

what the Lord tells us to do, be concerned about

somebody else, and God took care of our issue. So

I had time to joke in my daughter. She had

one bead here and one beat here. Two beats looks

like jewelry. I'm wondering why two beads, I said, don't

worry when they have to remove the stitches, all they're

gonna do is cut one.

Side and pull.

True enough, when it came to renewing the stitches, she said, Hi,

oh Dad, you cut one side and pull. All the

stitches came on one go. Was it painful?

Yeah? So you live. Yes.

Guys, Now, you may say, oh, but why couldn't God heal?

I don't know.

Maybe my level of faith is not enough to see

it that way. But my fate was enough to come

through the situation where she would still be better, she

would still be okay. God is still in control. I'm

not gonna question that. I'm not gonna be ungrateful God,

you could have done it this way you can. I'm

not gonna tell God how he could have done it.

I'm just thankful that he did it. Guys, you and

I have got to realize God, God has a life

in order to get with the program, so that he

you open a door for him to help you.

Okay, let's move on. So the three l's the lost.

The vision of the Act of Access always been about

the lost.

Do you know?

Like I said earlier on, every one of us can

help disciple. So are we worried about the lost?

Guys?

If you cannot preach to them, invite them to church,

that's all. So somebody else who knows how to share

can share. Do you play a part? Do you have

a part in their salvation?

Absolutely? Why?

Because you love them enough to call them or to

a place where they can.

Hear about Jesus.

Do you know most of the people who came to

the Lord under my ministry came unto the Law when

I knew nothing. Seriously, all I knew was Jesus saves.

I went around telling people Jesus saved. Jesus is more

people came to the Lord at that time than now.

When I have all this knowledge eschatology, all the you

know eschatology, the study of Jesus. If I'm not mistaken

all this, how should I say theory and all these

deep studies. Then it gets in the way of the

simplicity of the gospel, which is Jesus loves you.

He has come to save you.

So the vision of extrach has been always about the lost.

Every one of you can be a leader. And I

show you what a leader is. What is a leader?

Living your life for Jesus life. You're already leading, ma.

It's not rocket science. Another word for seven you and

I prefer that word seven of the Lord. But God

says leader? You know why follow me as I follow him?

What does that make you?

H leader? Okay?

The leaders we need to rise up. We believe that

everyone can be a leader and is true. Approve it

to you. All of you are parents, A lot of

your parents, not all of you.

A lot of you. Some of you go to school,

right are you prefer? Yes? There you go leading somebody?

Life is like dad, how many we can drive a car?

Do you realize that you're a leader? What do you

mean when you put the signal to turn right? Are

you not leading the people behind you?

Be careful. I'm turning right? True or not? What are

you doing?

You are leading them into the right decision, which is

slow down and let the guy go right. I mean

it seems like a ridiculous example, but it's true. It's

true breaking the myth that we cannot be leaders. The

devil would like us to believe that we cannot be leaders.

But guys, you and I, in our daily life, we

are doing that. So a thousand. We already have a thousand.

So everyone should be a disciple, and everyone should eventually

lead someone.

To the Lord.

Like I said, if you can't say Jesus loves you,

can you at least say come to church and learn

about someone who can help you with your problem. What's

so difficult about that? The worst that the person can

say is no. The best that the person can say

is yes, true, not.

Believing.

What is the living Jesus is the Kingdom of Heaven

is like living, And that's in Matthew thirteen thirty three. Okay,

living a yeast is put into a door and it

begins to rise. You know, if you have lousy living

and the bread won't rise, I know because I learned

to bake bread during the pandemic. Some living I put

in the bread did not rise. But then I bought

new living put it in all perfect bread. So the

thing about living is it's got to be what do

you have, what's your truth, what's your belief?

What's in your heart? Okay?

So when living a yeast is put in the door,

it begins to rise. Without the living, the door will

not rise. Trust me, it will not rise. Without the

living in our lives, we will remain stagnant. What is

the Bible saying is living in our lives? It's the

Kingdom of God. See the Kingdom of Heaven. Sorry, the

Kingdom of Heaven. The Kingdom of Heaven is like eleven

living eleven okay, the Kingdom of Heaven? What is it

without leaven? The door will not rise. So we need

the Kingdom of Heaven.

In the hearts?

What's the Kingdom of heaven? And the hearts believe that

Jesus Lord, he died in rows, he has the best

things in life, the best plans for you. So living

gets disciples, Leven gets disciples and leaders out of their

comfort zone.

Send out the laborers into the harvest. Field.

The word send out is more like kicked out. You know.

The thing is this, if you realize scripture is always

praying and not for the people to get save. You

know what is the scripture praying well for the laborers

to get out there and save them? Because the people

are already there wanting to be saved. They need somebody

to tell them. They need somebody to reach them. You

know what's the problem with Christianity. Sometimes we don't tell them.

We try and force them. I cannot force anybody to

receive the law. I can tell them because you see,

I'm not the power of conviction.

Who's the power of conviction?

The Holy Spirit. I just opened my mouth and tell God,

you told me to tell them. I've told them.

Hallelujah. What happens next?

Holy Spirit convict them. The secret to real growth is

radical obedience to God. You know, in ex Church, the

foundation has always been for the first twenty years, radical obedience.

God says, turn left and left, turn right, turn right,

go for go forward. Radical unity. Unity is a tough one.

But unity, you see, it's not unity to any it's

not a unity to characters, unity of God's plan, unity,

unity towards God, because if we have this unity towards God,

we won't be fight among ourselves. Radical unity, And I

love about ex Church. You know what I love about

ex Church. We're willing to help other churches, be there

for other churches, work with other churches. You know, when

we were growing up in the seventies and we just

became the Christians, every church was for itself, you know, unless,

of course it was the same denomination. Other than that,

it wasn't really together. But I love what I see

now that Baptists are working with Pentecostals, that Methodists are

working with Lutherans. Why because there's unity in the church,

and Devil hates that radical unity in acts radical generosity.

People were generous. That was in the past, is it now?

It doesn't have to be different, it can be the same.

It can still continue. So the requirements for the next

twenty years of growth. Radical ideas is a daily bread

coming from God. So what is God telling us to do?

Radical initiatives from us? It's more than just a plan

we need God. This isn't a Bible, says past Us,

saying that radical ideas is like the daily bread. Radical

initiatives is like the tide. Your time, your effort, your money,

your ideas, your thoughts being available and radical implementation.

This is the leven. This is the leven.

We have so many initiatives, and sometimes it seems like

there's so much. The latest one is the extine right

extenso one someone going from plant to plant. I want

to see all go to so many. Yesterday we had

we had, we had the leaders you know meeting, and

the leader's meeting was in Health University in Subang Suwangtu,

which is in Sunai below right.

So I heard some people say, wha, so far I

had to travel so far? I say you one time

you have to travel so far? You know.

I have to come to Klank forteen minutes. I have

to go to Sevenut one hour, fifteen minutes. I have

to go to Nila one hour, Cyberjaya fifteen minutes. And

I have to do this every Sunday. I'm Punk fifteen minutes. Guys,

It's okay. Now, once in a while you come in.

I'm only eighteen minutes from the place.

Praise the Lord. God is kind. It's okay. Go if

you need to go.

You know what you do during that as you are

going that long distance to send that teen to that function.

You know what God is seeing. God is seeing effort,

He's seeing leven in your lives. And what happens when

there's leven in your life? Growth starts to take place.

I mean, it's so easy to say it's too far,

it's way too far. But I want you to know

there are people who walk to church three hours, walk

to church because no money to buy bus ticket, and

after church walk three hours back and here we are

we can drive. One hour is too tough. I when

I first became a Christian, I travel to church one

and a half to two hours every Sunday for easily

ten years because I lived in Klang, but the church

was in care and I had no car. It's bus

bus fifty one. Why one and a half hours? You

think the bus is there when you're ready to go, No,

you have to wei and sometimes the bus comes. But

twenty thousand people trying to get on there one bus

which can only hold fifty.

You hope you get in.

Such a way where people automatically push you up and

not push you off. That was how it was, but

we did it. And guess what God has blessed us?

If I were to look at my life. Now i'd

see how much God has blessed us. I won't tell

you how, but I got a free car, brand new.

Because God.

Is blessing me for all the things that I've done

in the past. God is in control. The greatest challenge

to our vision is we cannot believe we can't achieve

it without winning the loss lots of them. We need

to go out there and we need to win the loss.

The church isn't here in Malaysia just to look after

the ten percent. Hey, we are always under the impression

that what are we coming to church for? We're coming

to church for maintenance? Is that why we come to

We come to church to praise the Lord. Never forget

this because the scripture says that when we lift up

the name of Jesus, what does he do? He draws

all men unto him. I got a message that's coming,

you know what it's this message. This message is about

people who tell you, hey, after all, you can go

to any church, man, why need come to this church?

God is everywhere. Have you heard people say that I

don't want to come to this church today. I can't.

I'll go to that church and they say it's okay.

What God is there? God is true, God is everywhere.

God is in that church, God is in this church.

What is the difference? Do you realize if you read

scripture that God gave the talents to whom? He gave

the talents to the servants one, three and five talents?

Did he give it to the visitors? Yeah, one of

them didn't do anything with it. That's okay, that's that

one person. But whom did God give the talents to?

He gave the talents to the servants. What are the servants?

People who come and serve the Lord, not the people

who take God as a cook. What's on the menu today?

I'll go here, I'll get there. So what did they

bear making God there?

Seven?

You don't understand we sometimes we miss it. Hey, there

are serious things in God as well. You want God

to take care of your life, be serious about his things.

So the thing is this, Uh, the church isn't here

just to look after ninety percent. For the son of

Man came to seek and to say which was lost

here in acts we also know it is the fifth witness.

God is encouraging us to engage the fifth gear. Go

maximum speed, maximum distance, call them in invite them in

Why when you come in church, it's not about you

getting fed. It is it is yeah, yeah, yeah, you receive,

you get fed, your spirit grows. Yeah, it's that as well.

But what is the reason you come to church. You

come to church to lift up the name of Jesus.

Because what happens when you lift up the name of Jesus.

He draws all men unto him and you figure out.

You think, wow, it's so difficult to grow. No, it's

not difficult to grow. You want to grow the church.

Worship the Lord. When you are together, lift him up.

Come together with that purpose. Yeah that in that you

will get fed. But while you're.

Here, you've come here with a purpose lifted up to

Nemo Jesus. Okay, the leaders.

The second greatest challenge is we cannot do it with

our leaders or laborers. We are laborers servants. Matthew nine

thirty seven thirty eight says. Then he said to his disciples,

the harvest is truty plenty four, But the laborers are few. Therefore,

pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out

laborers into the harvest. God is already telling you, hey,

we are worried about the wrong thing. Were worried about

the people getting safe. He says, you let me worry

about that. What you do is go out there. Did

he say, pray for the harvest? He said, pray to

the Lord of the harvest. So the Lord is already

taking care of that issue. The Lord is already taking

care of the issue, because he is the lord of it.

What is he telling.

Pray that he sends more laborers you and I into

the field. The problem has never been with the harvest,

but the harvesters. We were never taught to pray for

the harvest, but for the labor. Verse Matthew for nineteen says,

then he said to them, follow me, and I will

make you fishes of men. He didn't say follow me,

and you know he says, I will make you fishes

of men. I will make you receive that which encourages you.

Let me tell you you want to take this step further.

The lord of the fish, if you want to call

him that. Now, he says, you toil all night, take

your net through the other side. I mean, what is

the difference between decide the boat and decide the boat?

What two hundred feet? No?

No, how why do you think the boat is Okay,

how many of you here know about boats?

Is what you think a fishing boat is? Ten feet? What?

Ten feet? Here?

Nothing here?

One hundred and fifty seven fish.

God can just tell you get into the net. That's

why you want God to say, bring people in. We

and I have got to learn to throw the net

where God tells us to throw the net, because he

can just say fish, come in. I mean, it's ridiculous, right,

doesn't make sense here? No fish here? Go fish? If

you tell me you go to port, clang of fish here.

And clang down. No fish.

I can understand five kilume difference, But here are we're

talking about left and right? The eleven the third challenges.

We can't do it without eleven, which is the sending out.

Okay.

Romans Tan thirteen to fifteen says, for whoever calls upon

the name the Lord shall be saved. How then shall

we call on him who we have not believed? And

how shall we believe in him whom they have not heard?

And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how

should they preach without? And unless they are sent? As

it is written? How beautiful are the feet of those

who preach the Gospel of peace and will bring good tidings,

glad tidings.

Of good things again. Oh wa and over?

What is scripture telling us we are so worried about

the fish, we're so worried about the people, that we

don't realize there's only one thing preventing the two from

taking preventing it from taking.

Place us us.

It's just telling us to do something, and we always

start with this. Oh, I'm not a preacher. Oh I

do not know how to share. One of the greatest

lies that the devil has caused us to believe is

that we are unable to speak. Guys, if you were

unable to speak, how did you marry your spouse?

You go up to her and you get married her?

No way, You went up to her and say how's

your dear? Okay, good good? Then you walk away. Then

the next time you see her, are you thirsty? Can

I get you a drink? When you walk away? Next

time you come and say, yeah, I bought you a kick?

You go away next time? You know, actually I've been

looking at you. I really like you. You move your hair, Okay, okay,

I know what you're thinking.

Don't go there, but you.

Give what I'm saying you think you cannot talk. For

those of you who got married, how did you get married?

You had to open your mouth, isn't in?

Why not?

You had to make some kind of connection. You can

do it. You are able to even How many of

you are quiet?

People? Really quiet?

You know?

Introverts? Are they any introverts here? Okay? Introvert? Right? Quiet

by nature?

But still when you're interested in your spouse to be here,

you found a way to talk to them?

Why not?

So what I'm trying to say is you can rise

above your circumstance.

You can rise above your issue. Okay.

Leven is also the discipline. Okay, nothing can be done

without discipline. In one Condians nine twenty six twenty seven said,

therefore I run, I run thus not with uncertainty.

That's a fight. Not with one who.

Beats the air. You see when you were a boxer.

He's boxing, right, So he's boxing, he is boxing the air.

The other guy worried or not?

No? Not?

The other guy will only be worried if he connects.

That's what scripture is saying. Scripture is saying this, But

I discipline my body and bringing the subjection less that

I appreach to others, I myself become disqualified.

It means do what you say, say.

What you do, do what you say, say what you do,

mean what you say, say what you mean. Guys, if

we we we we focus on the impossible. Actually, life

is really possible. You know, when I got over the

fear of telling people about Jesus Christ, people started coming

to the Lord again. When I could go up to

the man and say, do you know you're dying? Yes,

say would you like to receive Jesus?

Yes?

Because at sixty sixty plus years old, why I care

whether I'm hurt or not? Eve He says, no, it's

not my problem. Yeay, I've come with something good. You

do want to receive? Whose problem? Your problem or my problem?

It's your problem. But of course we go with the prayerer,

say Lord, help me do the right thing, annoying the

words that I say, that this person's.

Life may be touched.

You do your part when you just go and say, hey,

you know Jesus loves you. Can I tell you you're

not alone? Can I tell you that there's somebody who's

waiting for you. He wants to receive you as a friend.

You know, I have now given this invitation to anybody

who's got a problem, you know, with sharing with old

people or sharing with people they wanted to and they're

not receiving the I will go and.

I'll talk to them. Why, because I'm not afraid anymore.

So what if the guy says I don't want to

hear what you have to say, Well, I shrink and

shrivel up and die.

No, I won't.

The skin has become very thick, you know, when you

grow older, skin becomes thicker, y'allah. That's the way it is.

So it has freed me. I want you to know

that Levin is the doing.

It's the execution.

Not not the execution, you know, but it is the

doing of something. It's the performing or something, all right,

It's the implementation, all right, so many things. Yeah, Like

I said, the teens once a month, you know, it's

the implementation. It's the press service once four times a year,

and we say, no, I cannot.

Go for that.

Sometimes I wonder why should God ever answer any of

our press.

Have you ever wondered that?

Why should God be concerned to answer our prayers when

we have this lack of concern to maybe once in

a while do what he wants us to do. I mean, okay,

you got prayer four times. You cannot make it four

times a year.

At least make it once a year.

You know how many we went for the combined press

service on the first of January? Was it extraordinary? Was

it powerful?

It was.

What made it powerful? You know what makes prayer powerful?

Not that there are fifteen hundred thousand people. You know

what makes prayer and powerful the fact that they didn't

need to come on the day, but they came to

Dick together on the day to pray. And God appreciates that.

Do you know why prayers?

Ah?

Do you know why prayers? How many of you experienced

a lot of prayers at homes being answered?

Can I see it? Show heads? It's true? Right?

But do you know do you know why it seems

easy for prayers to be answered because of Holmes? Because

it's it's not in scripture. Scripture says do not forsake

the gathering, or say is talking about the Sabbatha. But

Holmes is something extra and you make the point to

go for it. You mean to say God doesn't appreciate it.

He does.

God is looking for avenues to appreciate us. He is

not looking for avenues to stick it to us, unlike

so many other faiths. You know, one thing you do wrong,

you get hammered. Christ is not about that. He's looking

for avenues to bless us momentum. So when you start

to implement slowly momentum.

Starts to build.

You know what happens. When momentum starts to build, it

becomes habit. It becomes habit, and as it becomes heavy,

it becomes a custom and a culture. Why is this

important Because when things that we do right become custom

and become culture, it's no longer difficult to do. It's

not difficult to do. It's difficult to do the first time,

but the more you do it, the easier it becomes.

There was once a pastor who said, Pastor told us,

you went to go and see God, it's so difficult

to do a quiet time. You know what was the

Lord's answer, do too? Huh doesn't make sense, man, so

difficult to do one quiet time?

And day?

Now you tell me to do tour. But you see

he obeyed. In doing the too, it became easy to

do the one every day. God's wisdomer reflect so one

as some of the habits and customs. We like to

make effective as a laborer. Imagine the day. Imagine the day. Okay,

when witnessing so winning, disciple making, leadership producing, Daniel releasing Daniel?

What is Daniel releasing? You go into the market place. Hey,

I keep saying that we're not marketplace Christians. We are

Christians in the marketplace. It's not the market that influences us.

It's we who influence the market. Okay, witnessing so soul winning. Wow,

when this becomes normal? And do you know that it can.

If we will let it.

The only thing stopping this from happening is we ourselves.

Do we see it?

So the implementation implementation is like we're talking about.

God's diet.

You know that Daniel lived on vegetables and water for

ten days and became stronger and fatter. How is this

even possible? He must have been eating sugarcane. If sugar

cane is a vegetable. No, no, no, I guess no, I

have no idea. You know, I love vegetables. When I

eat vegetables, I lose weight. So if you look at

me now, it means I've not been eating a lot

of vegetables. Okay, But Daniel Daniel lived on vegetables. This

is the way God wants X to fulfill the provinces

to live on God's diet. What is God's diet? Doing

it God's way, doing it God's way, guys. For the

next six weeks, for the last for the last four weeks.

In the next two weeks, we are we are breaking

down this plan. Why is it so important? Do you

know that the world is coming closer and closer and

closer to the return of Jesus Christ.

It's so frightening. It's so frightening.

I remember telling you that the year twenty thirty is

in the charter of the United Nations to make the

world the government of the world. Won Did you know

that it's in their chatter, which is one of the

prophecies of in time scripture. Guys, Let's not be sleeping,

Let's be awake. So breaking down God's die daily bread.

You know what does God tell us to do?

Daily?

Daily bread? That's why we do it daily? Quiet me

so that God will He will tell us in advance,

just like He told my wife and me cancer operation preparation,

because He was preparing us to be an encouragement to

our daughter, so that fear would not get into a life,

but faith and faith would produce a miracle. Guys, you

and I we are beacons of this ability to put

faith in somebody else's life by being there for them,

listening to what God tells us to do. God will

tell you today, go and see this person, and you

never know, that's the day that person can get saved.

I told you what once when God said go and

see this person. When I saw this person and I shadn't,

the person said no.

I was so shocked.

I said, God, but you told me to go and

witness and the person said no. He said, I told

you to go. You went, okay, I left it. Two

weeks later he said go again, and this time the

person received the Lord.

So we don't know, We don't know how things are work.

We just need to be obedient, all right, deliberate, tie

the initiative, make a commitment, make a commitment to us.

So you know, it also means uploading to God. Love

uploading God God. Yeah, I'll do it. Yeah God, here

I am here, I am. That's uploading to God. God says,

go here, I am download, go upload here I am.

We are so worried that God will tell us to

go to salm place out in the wilderness to share

the gospel. Okay, those days are India was the bad name.

Lo When I say India is the bad name, they'll

always say, I'll send you to India.

You know, what's the word?

Because it's all this mental things where people play, you know,

in your minds and you think, oh, yeah, I become

a Christian and say, yes, Lord, he will send me

to India.

So keep quiet? Why not?

It could be other places, you know. But what I'm

saying is, these are the things that we need to overcome,

we need to get you know, realize God is not

a mean god. Okay, he will send you to the

place you don't want to go. There are sometimes he

will send you to the place you don't want to go.

He will tell you to do the things you don't

want to do.

You know. That's okay.

If he tells you, that means he's got a good

plan for you, you know, but.

It's not always that way.

It can be that way, but it's not always that way,

all right, So implementation they're doing. Make it count, accountability

your time and money, Make it count, make it comet

The five steps of God's died. Make a list. What

is God wanted to do? Make a commitment. Lord, I'll

do it. Make it, come, do it, do the best

that you can. Make time to help others, and make

sure you remember the vision always.

Guys, this is exciting. Okay. Vision, I think there's a

slight next one. Yeah. Vision is the dominion mission. The vision.

The vision is God says, going into the world, and

in Genesis it says, and have dominion. Okay, the vision

was for us to have dominion. The mission? What is

the mission going into the world and preache?

What is that?

That is the mission? What is the direction? God's diet?

Doing what he tells you? What is the focus? The

focus is the actual diet, the actual substance of what

it is God has told you to do?

All right? And lastly, the cost? What is the cost?

The cost is discipline. In other words, stick with it.

So he says, Yah, what is my heart for the lost?

What are my challenged for being called to lead others?

And what is the one discipline I want to walk on?

You know, what is my heart for the lost? If

we don't care about people getting saved, we are on

very dangerous ground. I would say we are on quicksand,

all right, or quicksand I know we can.

Get out of.

We're on a sinkhole. We're standing on the surface where

the sinkhole can just appear. If we don't care for

the lost, because that means our heart and God's heart

are not in sync. Because God's heart is for the lost,

we have to have If you do not have a

heart for the lost, all is not lost.

You know what you do?

Pray to the Lord of Harvest. Lord, you are the

Lord of Harvest. You know there are people that are lost?

Why don't I feel that way? Can you help me?

If you're honest before the Lord? Don't you think he

will help you? That's when he will send you to India.

I'm just kidding, Okay, what are my challenges? Are being

called to meet others? What are your challenges?

I cannot speak? So what.

A lot of people that I have come to the

Lord just by watching somebody else and say.

Wow, what is this? Why day like that? It's because

of Jesus. I want that Jesus's It's not so much

about So what are the challenges? You will know? What

are the challenges?

Maybe it's time, Maybe you say you don't have the time,

but you suffer through it. Never mind, I'll do it

now whether I agree or I don't. For my wife

and me, it's pain. I tell you, growing old is

not fund I used to and I think this is payback.

I used to look at some people in this secy

say why are you moving so slower? Now I'm sixty,

I know, so be very carefuler. You look at me

and say, why are the fellow walking like that?

So it slow?

Be careful, okay, because you may be inviting in on yourself,

don't okay. So the thing is, what are your challenges?

God can help you overcome those challenges? And what is

the discipline that I want.

To work on? Gosh?

What did I Maybe it's it's the quiet time. Maybe

I need to work on spending time with the Lord.

Because when you spend time with the Lord, what happens?

He talks to you. La. Some people don't want to

spend time with God because he talks to them. I

know that's weird, but it's true. How do you notice?

You know one fellow who ran away from the Lord

because the Lord was talking to him. Jonah, God was

go and talk to them. He thought he could not

listen to the Lord.

He went the other way.

Why because he don't want to hear God talking. But

praise God, God is so kind to him. God still

continued talking to him. Say you want to run away, okay,

you run into the belly of the whale. I'll talk

to you there. You think it was fun being in

the belley of the whaler. The schastric juices must have

been already working on him. And there was no light, okay,

not like the cartoons where he got light. He said,

no light, darkness. And then you know how stomach. You know,

your stomach rumbles, right, so it must you think you

could stand up? No wonder fool has been tossed in turn?

Can you mention three days? He must have been very

dizzy when he came out. Guys, let's not get in.

Let's not be tossed to and fro and burned with

gastric juices in the belly of the whale. Let's just,

you know, do what the Lord tells us to do. So, guys,

with that, I hope you have enjoyed Session four. Got

you going, got you prepared, got you excited, got you

believing you can do it? And you know what you

can do it, because what are you doing? You're just

doing what the Lord tells you to do. So who

is the one who's actually doing it?

God?

Yeah, God is the one who's actually doing it. Okay,

with that, let's rise and we can go into a

song praise because the Lord is spoken to us today.

God is good. I hope you have caught something today.

I was telling Jason yesterday, it's so good to be

able to do this series because God is actually giving

us a clear preparation of what to do. I'm one

who likes manuals. I prove you to be told what

to do, then try and figure it out myself, you know.

So when everything is laid out, it becomes so nice,

so easy follow follow, do you know? And God's been

kind to us that way.

We hope you've been blessed by this message. For more
