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

  2. We hope this message will light up your tea.

  3. All right, how are you excited to wrap up the series?

  4. I hope you're not saying I'm glad it's done. Actually,

  5. in a way, I'm glad it's done because it's time

  6. to move. Yeah, a lot of us like to hear

  7. the vision, but after hearing the vision, there's always an action.

  8. All right. I don't know how many of you like

  9. to go to a company and then every week you're

  10. hearing about the vision. It's time to move, friends, It's

  11. time to go. It's time to move. It's time to

  12. work for the Lord. Amen. There are souls to be saved,

  13. and there are people that need to know Jesus. The

  14. time is coming, and the time is running short. So

  15. I think it's time to move. But if you have

  16. your books with me, you can turn to page number

  17. forty seven, class, and we're gonna do this together. Man. Amen. Amen,

  18. you know one thing about the word vision, and we

  19. have just demonstrated earlier that without sight, it's going to

  20. be very difficult to live life on this earth, right, Karna,

  21. was it challenging to close your eyes for a while

  22. and listen to your lovely wise voice, not so much

  23. the voice, but more so the side right, because the voice,

  24. I'm sure you love it, you love it, but it's challenging, right.

  25. And one thing of vision that I would like to

  26. just share if all of us is that unless you know,

  27. vision is something that is there, unless you're born without

  28. a vision. But when you close your eyes, did you

  29. know that you are actually also able to see something?

  30. I want, I want all of you to just close

  31. your eyes right now? What do you all see? What

  32. do you actually see? Darkness? Pitch black? Did you know

  33. that those are that you can open eyes now? But

  34. those that are blind, do you know that that's what

  35. they see? Actually what they see is maybe specs of colors, spectrums.

  36. Some are totally dark, but actually majority I did some

  37. research on this, it's not totally darkness, it's white. Did

  38. you know that vision? One thing or a vision is

  39. that unless if you do not open your eyes or

  40. direct your eyes to see, it actually takes an active

  41. respond from your end to actually have vision to actually

  42. see something. Another thing or a vision is that when

  43. you open your eyes, what do you see? Now? You

  44. see a vast majority of people Yeah, you see the drums,

  45. you see the guitar. But there must be a decision

  46. that you make within your own hearts in order to

  47. actually see what you have to see. All of you,

  48. now bring your attention on me, perhaps, I hope so. Right.

  49. You're looking at me right now, hearing what I have

  50. to say, and that's why you see me. But did

  51. you know that you can also not see me? Did

  52. you know that you can actually choose not to see me? Right?

  53. I can be speaking here, I can be holding the

  54. mica and be hearing my voice. But what you're seeing

  55. is that chucklate deal that you're about to have. Right,

  56. what you see is that movie that you're about to watch.

  57. What you see can be that laundry that you have

  58. not done at home, or you see can you be

  59. your your cat that is crying out loud for food.

  60. Vision is something that you choose to see. Yeah, everyone

  61. here has a vision, but unless you choose to activate

  62. your sight by opening your eyes, you might not see

  63. what you are meant to see. Amen. And the same

  64. way with the vision that has been given to us

  65. in ext church, that God has granted to us. Now,

  66. what is the vision? What is the big vision? I

  67. hope by now we can at least answer what is

  68. the vision? Anyone anyone able to answer what the vision

  69. of ex church is? It's a man that knows how

  70. to cook? Come on, ha ha, how about cook? Yeah?

  71. Come on, come on, what is it? How about cook?

  72. Two fourteen? Yeah? What is habakuk two fourteen for the

  73. earth shell? With off off s cover all right, covering? Yeah?

  74. Technically yeah, yeah, And uh, I just gonna encourage all

  75. of us a vision that is given to us. It's

  76. not just something that is given just because a lot

  77. of you here are successful businessmen business woman in fact,

  78. so you are studying, right, I'm sure you would want

  79. your company, your staff, or you yourself, if you are

  80. an employee, to know clearly what the vision of your

  81. company is, Right, is it to reach out to the marginalized?

  82. Because if that is the vision, and let's say, for example,

  83. if that the CEO says the vision of my company

  84. is not to gain profit, profit is to reach out

  85. further to the marginalized, you wouldn't runt your CFO or

  86. your chief financial officer or your managers down the line

  87. to then say that, hey, you know what we got profit,

  88. let's use this probably to make more profit. And then

  89. down the line when he hands it over to the

  90. next manager, and then the marginalize gets forgotten and your

  91. vision that you will once pay place it on the

  92. wall saying that we are going to reach out to

  93. the those that really are marginalized, those that are without food. Right,

  94. that's the whole purpose of my company in the first place.

  95. That I sucked the setup and I started. But as

  96. you go down the line, and as you do not

  97. translate that clearly, it gets diminished, watered down, and to

  98. a certain extent, that vision is lost. Do they do

  99. the manager down line still has vision, they do, but

  100. they're not looking at what they are meant to look at.

  101. And you wouldn't want that for anything, right, for anything,

  102. You don't want to lose sight on what really matters. Now,

  103. let's recap the previous session. There are four things Thatcano

  104. shared last week, and I hope we remember right. It

  105. is to live by the power of the tithe. It's

  106. to live by the power of the type. You know,

  107. everything that we have belongs to the Lord. Amen. I

  108. hope we for some of you knew here, and maybe

  109. you don't. You have not heard this concept before. By

  110. speaking to the believers here, the believers of the House. Right,

  111. everything that we have belongs to the Lord. Nothing that

  112. we have, nothing that we have is ours. Everything that

  113. we have the Lord is given to us. And I

  114. pray that we remember that. It's easy to remember that

  115. when we are poor, but when we start to earn

  116. and then the finances st to flow, and when and

  117. when I remember one day when I was younger, I

  118. always relish every opportunity to eat chicken rice because to me,

  119. chicken rice is such a privilege. I saw one influencer

  120. on the on on social media set the other day,

  121. like everyone who is chicken rice has their chicken rice spot. Yeah,

  122. and I have my chicken rice sport, right, I have

  123. my chicken rice ports in USUA four. Uh And because

  124. that's the one that I always climb out of my

  125. then daycare when my mom puts me after school. Uh

  126. yeah yeah day yeah place where someone cares for Mila.

  127. When I was nine years old, eight years old, right

  128. after primary school, I'll climb out of the gate just

  129. to get my chicken rice fixed. And I was still

  130. my parents' money, just because chicken rice is expensive. Yeah,

  131. and I love chicken rice. I love it so much

  132. that I can eat it every single day for the

  133. rest of my life. I once thought, so now it's

  134. not fun. But there was a period of time in

  135. my life, in my second day life, that I just

  136. ate chicken rice for entire three four five months. That's

  137. the only thing. My mom asked, you want to eat

  138. kay fun kaifan kaifan. And for me, I don't care

  139. what kind of kai I get, hong ky red kay

  140. I can get, no problem. That's what I remember. I

  141. used to think it's red chicken, but it's not. It's

  142. the breast chicken. To me, it's whatever whatever chicken. And

  143. it is delicious, so suckulent, so juicy, or tell you what.

  144. I love chicken rice so much. You know, I love it.

  145. And my mom said, you don't forget your vegetables. You know,

  146. I say, I don't forget. I never forget. That's why

  147. the coriander is there. That's where the small slice of

  148. cucumber is there. Ah, your vestewas I got, I got.

  149. But everyone here you have something that you that that

  150. that really you, you feel comfortable with. And I used

  151. to always relish the opportunity to eat. Then one day

  152. when I started to grow up a little bit more,

  153. earned my own money. I remember I was seventeen years old.

  154. I started working in Giant. I get my own salary.

  155. Now I can't order guye pey from Kai home. I

  156. can order Kai Pei for now, I tell you what.

  157. And then it's slowly I gain more and more. Now

  158. I can order Chassi kuie co guy ah. I tell

  159. you I love it. I love chicken rice. But I

  160. just remember that the good oldies where where we used

  161. to to earn so little, have so little in our pocket.

  162. And then when when the Lord says, and I found

  163. I learned the concert of Type, and I go like,

  164. oh oh, I earned I earned one thousand ring. I

  165. remember there was my first internship pay. And there's a

  166. lot for intern some we don't even get paid. So okay,

  167. so so ah, so I did you what this? And when

  168. you start earning it, and you go like one thousand

  169. and then one hundred ring, and you go like, oh my,

  170. that's okay, no problem. But you start to get more

  171. and more and you start to go like you you, you, you,

  172. You earn your first ten thousand and then twenty thousand

  173. and a million, and you start wondering and then you

  174. start calculating, I'm talking to my own life. Is it

  175. net or is it gross? WI should un we shouldn't

  176. do it? Type the gross figure or the net figure.

  177. And then another question bonus type or not? Oh, getting

  178. a bit quiet here? And then another question people give

  179. you pao m poo type or not. Then you start

  180. the question. You know technically the person that gives tipe ma,

  181. so why I have to type? We start questioning, We

  182. start putting in the dead left, right center, and then

  183. we start we forget that actually, everything that you have

  184. belongs to the Lord. Everything that you have, guys, belongs

  185. to the Lord. Believe it's in the house. Amen, let

  186. us not grow and grow more wise when we start

  187. to get our wallets and pockets filled. That's why the

  188. scripture says that Jesus loves the little children because you

  189. explain the concept of tithe to the little children. Now

  190. to them, no problem. You know, undring get empower, no problem.

  191. Then you get nah nah daddy nah, just takler. I

  192. found out this about myself because I used to have

  193. this pencil Piggie Bang from may Bang. My mother always

  194. teach me or tiding right back. Then whatever gift to me.

  195. Just take a problem, because young Mama one day she

  196. take that whole pencil, bigybang to me and then she say,

  197. look at how much is inside these coins on here

  198. amounted up to fire undering it coins he imagined one

  199. Sendla to send La, got other other sendings. The God, everything,

  200. everything is there. I just want to encourage us to

  201. not lose focus on what truly matters. Amen, Don't lose

  202. focus on what truly matters. God has given each and

  203. every one of you here the ability to earn money.

  204. Let us all forget him. Amen. So we spoke about

  205. God's diet. We spoke about the four layers, right, breaking

  206. it down to four layers. Number one, God's diet. What

  207. is the diet of God? And we draw this from

  208. the Book of Daniel. Yeah, the Book of Daniel that

  209. speaks about when Daniel was tested, right, was tested, and

  210. he was saying that you know what tests me? Test

  211. me or not defil myself of the King's delicacies, because

  212. I purposed in my heart when I was younger, I

  213. will not defound myself. Right. And God's died is what

  214. fruits and vegetables. That's all for ten days? And you

  215. know the story. He came out stronger, looking more, you know,

  216. buffer whatever it is, full of wisdom. But that is

  217. his diet, God's diet, and what's God's died for you.

  218. Yesterday I spoke to the teens and I told them,

  219. you know, a lot of a lot of things in

  220. this day and age. You may be chasing after. You

  221. may be thinking that church service, youth service. You know,

  222. I want to come and I want to feel like

  223. you know, I want to feel God's presence. I want

  224. to feel, you know, the annoying thing. I want to

  225. be in the atmosphere, you know, deem, the lights and

  226. everything is great, you know. Speaking to young people and

  227. being a young person want myself. I'm still young now.

  228. A lot of people tell me that right still young,

  229. they start trying to grow up, trying to look a

  230. little bit older. I don't know where it's working. Maybe

  231. it's not, but so okay, made me lose my tray

  232. of thought. Well, I was speaking to young people and

  233. I was telling them that a lot of them they

  234. have a perspective of what youth ministry is, or youth

  235. ministry means my parents cannot be with me. Youth ministry

  236. means when I share about my challenges. I cannot let

  237. my parents hear why because I don't want them to

  238. know what's the idea of youth ministry and for me

  239. and for this church and for what we believe in.

  240. What we're truly called to is to really make disciples,

  241. right disciples that make the difference. That is who we

  242. are and that's what we continue to do. And that's

  243. our diet, that's our vegetables and fruits. Let other people

  244. have the meat, no problem. Yeah, And I'm not talking

  245. about other churches. And that's their own vision. That is

  246. who they are of us. If the world is well

  247. to say that, you know what, sex before marriage is

  248. the way to go. You're the death first. Our diet

  249. is no word. If God says keep yourself poor, pure,

  250. for you poor, blessed are those who are poor in spirit,

  251. none of you want to say, am into that. Ah.

  252. So what is his diet? Yeah, he's died. And the

  253. next thing was his daily bread every morning every day?

  254. What are you consuming? You know? The israel Lights when

  255. they were given that the Lord will provide for them

  256. every morning, they're waiting for their daily bit. You know,

  257. they're waiting for manna to drop from heaven because when

  258. the mana drops right and if it grows stale, you

  259. can no longer use it. Can you see that desperation

  260. to long for God's word to come, God's provision to come.

  261. They were waiting desperately. Every day without fail, they will

  262. go out there and they'll wait for the man to drop.

  263. And that is his daily bit for us. That is

  264. our attitude, that there's a posture that we should have

  265. towards his word. And I don't know how many words

  266. are doing it. I challenge myself daily as well, because

  267. it's important. It's important to imbue yourself with the word

  268. of God. Amen. Amen. And the third thing is our

  269. tithe What is our part to play? You know, once

  270. out ten percent ex Church permits the first of January

  271. to pray. Yes it's a popping holiday, Yes there's in

  272. your opinion, there are better things to do. But the

  273. Lord is asking of you, what are you willing to tithe?

  274. Because I kind of shared last week that he tithes

  275. ten percent of his time unto the Lord. That means

  276. two point four hours every day is meant for the Lord.

  277. That means he's thinking, he's praying his quiet time he's

  278. talking to people about Jesus. That is the least that

  279. he can offer unto the Lord. What is our tithe?

  280. Upon hearing the vision? What are we saying? Are we saying?

  281. You know? I know one part in the church says

  282. this year, I'm going to commit more my time to

  283. the young people. And I'm looking at this person and

  284. go like, wow, your God said right, because it can't

  285. just be me, right, it can't just be me because

  286. they're growing. Honestly, they're green tile of Meda. You ask

  287. all the youths, you know, all the teens. They're greing,

  288. tired on my face, they don't see me anymore. But

  289. if you give them a fresh face, they go like wow.

  290. And I was so encouraged when this person came to

  291. me and say I'm going to solve more my time

  292. in the young people. I say, praise a lot, brother,

  293. and a lot reward you, and I'm going to do

  294. We're going to do this together. We're gonna do this together.

  295. So what is your tithe in respond to the vision?

  296. What is your tithe? And then finally the eleven, what

  297. is that thing that will cause you to rise? What

  298. is that thing that we're going to cause you to

  299. move because it's one thing to type. It's one thing

  300. to type it. Did you give me back my fifty

  301. get a? It's one thing, it's running the tithe but

  302. it's another thing to give. Yeah, it's another thing to

  303. give the action. What is the leven? Okay, So there's

  304. the four fore thoughts we have. And for this week,

  305. as we wrap up the final part of the Vision

  306. I'm Taking series, we're gonna go into some final thoughts,

  307. some final thoughts for us. Right as we summarize, your

  308. book says it should be it should be the same

  309. for everyone across the board. Amen, Amen, it should be

  310. the same for everyone across the board. Example, everyone downloads

  311. God's Daily Bread. Everyone ties. Everyone is centralized in our

  312. spirit and lingo across the world, not just in Malaysia. Amen.

  313. You know our brothers me and my brother is uh

  314. Sunny and John as we and some sometimes c G

  315. when he's free and available. Sometimes we run this pickaball club, right,

  316. uh and we we we sometimes yeah, one one in

  317. seventies is sometimes right. And there's this thing called pedal stacking. Yeah,

  318. better stacking. We stack our pedals so that it gets

  319. turns to play. You know. I believe that the four

  320. of us, as we learn this and as we do

  321. this together, it will be weird if one person say, okay,

  322. it's just stick anywheller. You know, you want to go

  323. your Q right. So when when let's say, for example,

  324. I'm stacking and then Sonny is playing, and then I

  325. go like, yeah, and you want to go, you gola,

  326. you go and player. And when I'm playing and then

  327. John is stacking, then John has his own thing. You know,

  328. if you are so and so skilled them you can play.

  329. If you're so and so skilled, then you can blame me. No,

  330. he doesn't do that. He's very kind. Yeah. But the

  331. point I'm trying to make here is that all four

  332. the example is united in the same way that we

  333. do things right. We have a we have a protocol

  334. and we go like, okay, we're got to follow this

  335. protocol whether we like you or not. Yeah. So there's

  336. the same way. Everyone across the board is centralized in

  337. our spirit and in our lingo across the world, not

  338. just in Malaysia. So I pray that when we declare

  339. the vision Habakuk two fourteen, for the should be filled

  340. with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as

  341. the water covers the sea. I pray that each and

  342. everyone of us in this room, as we hear the vision,

  343. you have the same lingo as well. You know. I

  344. pray that's our prayer, that's our pastest prayer, that wherever

  345. we go right, that is what we believe in. We

  346. we we we we pray that we will not have

  347. a situation where one person say, I, actually, you know

  348. what knowed to serve, knowed to serve. You know, I'm

  349. already a believer. I already accept whatever what God gave

  350. to me freely. I fully should I receive. Yeah, and

  351. I'm destined for heaven. And that said, and you are,

  352. and you are I believe so as well. That's God's salvation.

  353. It's free. It's free for each and everyone of you

  354. to receive. But what is our part to play? For

  355. God so loved the world that he gave his only

  356. godden son. He loved you. He loved you, and I

  357. shared I think a few weeks ago. That is interesting

  358. that it's a command. It's a command, is a command

  359. to love? Why did God command is to love him?

  360. Have you ever thought about it? And the quick answer

  361. is this, because he knows. He knows that if you

  362. do not love him, you do not choose to love him,

  363. you will love something else, something will feel your heart.

  364. And when you start to feel your heart with something

  365. else that is not of the Lord, you are destined

  366. for trouble. You're destined for trouble because you put that

  367. thing over God and you forget who he is. And

  368. because he loves you so much, he knows, he knows

  369. that your heart there's desires for love to feel that gad.

  370. But whatever you feel that get with, there will always

  371. be that gat that only can be filled by the

  372. love of Jesus. And because he knows that, it's a

  373. command for us to love him. Amen. So I pray

  374. that it's the same. It should be the same, right

  375. for everyone across the world. You know, in exchange we

  376. have a distinct called community, right, and I know for

  377. all our literatures as well. And it's so important, right,

  378. It's so important to have a community that really believes

  379. in one another, community that really stands for one another. Right,

  380. especially when things are tough, especially when things are not

  381. going well, it's good to have someone you know, you

  382. know that someone is praying for you, you know that

  383. someone is supporting you on and doing this together. Even

  384. you know the club that I that I love and

  385. I watch called Liverpool. We're going through a very tough time.

  386. My condolences to the club. We just lost yesterday treat

  387. to the Bournemouth. Thank god I didn't stay up to

  388. watch it. They didn't regret it now. But it's a

  389. tough time. But we have a very very famous tack line,

  390. you never walk alone. Yeah, you never walk alone in

  391. the dark ages. You never walk alone. And that's one

  392. thing that the church should learn to do. So you

  393. will never walk alone. Yeah, you never walk alone. We're

  394. not walking alone. Let's continue to be there for one another,

  395. because no one will build extrac alone. The power of

  396. community will get us to places. And the last thought

  397. that we have, the final thought is that it's time right,

  398. It should be time to store new wine into new

  399. wine skins. That the gap that is for you to

  400. feel to storm new wine into new wine skins. But

  401. it's going to be a lot of new radical ideas

  402. that God would give to us to get the job done.

  403. You know, just last week I found out that our

  404. brothers and sisters from Masa. I don't know if you

  405. all remember this college, this university that's now a hospital.

  406. They usually join our ten forty five service, one or

  407. two of them. And I just found out because we

  408. have been praying, We've been praying for them right. In fact,

  409. we will be praying for us, pray for the laborers

  410. that we go and then the howards is plentiful. It is.

  411. And I found out last week as I'm conversing. One

  412. of the topics is like, the beat of my mind

  413. is like you needed to fetch you. We'll go and

  414. fetch you, right. But in the battle of my mind,

  415. I'm like, wow, we need more people. To imagine if

  416. let's say twenty of them say you want to come

  417. the hell right? Are we ready? The great Passion? I

  418. believe extra is ready. It's just fifteen minutes down the

  419. wad anyways. But guess what I found out. There's a

  420. free shutter service from Masa to Eco century More. Only

  421. it goes a dream Aller, not any other giz like

  422. elect But for such a time as this, it cannot

  423. be a constant coincidence. It's like everything is in place. Really,

  424. you just got to get kicked out. You just got

  425. to send yourself out right as you pray for the laborers.

  426. It's in order, it's in place. You just have to

  427. be ready. Amen. But there's gonna be a lot of

  428. new radical ideas that God would give to us to

  429. get a job done. Remember, it's not about us but

  430. bringing glory to God. It is not about us. It's

  431. not about our company getting the glory. It's not about

  432. our church getting the glory. No, everything that we do,

  433. I pray will point back to Jesus. And when everything

  434. that we do, the food that you serve in espresso,

  435. you know why, even why this expresso even works so

  436. hard to produce such a good spread for us. You

  437. do you think it's just specifically for all of us?

  438. I don't. I think perhaps one of the small portion. Yes,

  439. But if a new person comes and they go like whoa,

  440. you would you would go the distance just for me,

  441. just to prepare for me. Right, Remember, it is not

  442. about us. Let's never say it has never been done before,

  443. because if the right brothers were to say it has

  444. never been done before, we wouldn't have aeroplanes today. Imagine

  445. you're not flying now like with age. Everybody can fly, right,

  446. but back then those historians I might be getting this wrong.

  447. By nineteen zero six, is it? None of you know?

  448. Nineteen zero six is right? Right, brothers create the airplane

  449. that can fly? Or you reody? Don't know? Yeah? I

  450. so you know, I need the nineteen zero six hours.

  451. The students here go Google, can go to Google. But

  452. nineteen something early nineties, it means it is a the

  453. student oheah, I trust you. Okay, someone go and check. Okay. Anyways,

  454. something the Right brother is imagine. But but then do

  455. you think the concept when Moses was around? Do you

  456. think the concept of flying was very normal? I don't

  457. think so. But until is it correct? Okay? I was,

  458. I was about three years around. Yeah, imagine the one

  459. day they said, no, it's not possible. It has never

  460. been done before. I don't know. What's the attitude that

  461. the Right Brothers had can imagined for the first time,

  462. you know, for the first time something will take flight.

  463. But today we're flying everywhere Japan, Career, US for hours

  464. and hours. But it started somewhere somewhere. Let's never say

  465. it has never been done before. Only the Westerners can

  466. do it, you know, the Westerners lead the way. Come on,

  467. Malaysia bullet again. We gotta we gotta term Malaysia bulet.

  468. Do we really believe it when we say Malaysia ballet

  469. or when our or in our only or we only

  470. believe it when it comes to lead you ang way,

  471. that's when we believe Malayia ble Malaysia bulet can get

  472. gold medal in the Olympics. But wat the Polos guys

  473. go and compete in Sea Games? Do we actually believe

  474. that they can win? Because when when Joe ran I

  475. was expecting, hey, come on, you can do it. But

  476. whatever you call it back, we love you anyways, right,

  477. but we believe, we believe, we believe that you can

  478. when our power lifts live go and compete. We believe,

  479. we believe with all our mind that they can. Because

  480. when we say Malaysia Bulley, I prayed that we really

  481. mean it. Malaysia bole I don't know. You know, persons

  482. preach this a few months ago. Don't just say something

  483. but at the back of your mind you already say

  484. that it's gonna feel you go into something, right, Yeah,

  485. Canla Kenler can can one by the bed of he

  486. Dion Dion cannot cannot cannot, of course cannot because God

  487. answers that. God here's that that's your prayer, you know, God,

  488. here's the prayer, in the genuine prayer that is going

  489. on your head. That's why sometimes you may not experience

  490. a healing. That's what pass sid a few weeks ago.

  491. You may not experience a healing because you don't even

  492. believe that cancer can be healed. You don't even believe

  493. that cancer can be healed. And with the church, and

  494. the church starts doing it, the Western Church starts doing it.

  495. There need less follow why, I tell you what? Then

  496. the Black Church, what are so happening? You know what

  497. they think of their shoe and then they start swolling

  498. in the air. They throw it to the to you.

  499. They get all rowdy and tell you what. It's so

  500. uplifting the msp over there, come on. It can be

  501. done in Malaysia too. That's why they say the team

  502. is revival. Something needs to be stirred in our hearts,

  503. stirred to the point where you know, and I know

  504. that we can do this because of who is in us.

  505. Event if God is for us, who shall be against us?

  506. With God? Nothing is impossible. Amen. So let's be radical, friends,

  507. Let's be ridical and believe that one day, one day,

  508. Let's be history makers and become the reference for others

  509. to follow. That's who we believe we are called to be.

  510. No matter what the circumstance is, as long as it

  511. gives glory to God and it aligns with the vision

  512. that God has given to our house, we shall continue

  513. to do it. Amen. I believe that the way forward

  514. is to grow small, because if you read Scripture, you'll

  515. know that the persecution that will come away is going

  516. to be tougher and tougher. And the only way for

  517. us to continue to congregate in the future is by

  518. growing small. Because they can close the churches down. They

  519. can and they will if we are following scripture. I'm

  520. not just saying this specific church, but they can and

  521. if they want to, they will. But what they can't

  522. close down is your homes. What they can't close down

  523. is your small groups that you meet. And I pray

  524. that we'll be ready for when the day comes. Okay,

  525. don't just plan forward by looking backward what we're used

  526. to and what we're comfortable with now. Now, in next church,

  527. we have a saying that we are a movement, not

  528. a monument. No, it's good to have a reference point

  529. it's good to see something and go like, wow, that's great.

  530. Right next colag the morning started with ten people and

  531. we grew to where we are today. But for some

  532. of us, now this becomes the state of school and

  533. we're like, okay, that's it, that's enough. We planted a fifteen.

  534. I'm going to say something. Now, we planted them forty five,

  535. So what's stopping us from planting one fifteen riches? Look

  536. at me, Liliah, Really, Who's who's the next CBC to

  537. arise from this place? Who is the next ACPC to

  538. rise from this place? Yeah? Who's the next time commanded

  539. for ex collar communing to rise from this place which

  540. we already assigned? We are really assigned. And I shall

  541. not reveal who, but I guess he has been revealed.

  542. Praise a lot, all right, Philippin's three twelve sixteen. Not

  543. that I have already attained or I'm already perfected, but

  544. I pressed on that I may lay hold of death,

  545. for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold for me. Brethren,

  546. I do not count myself to have apprehended, but one

  547. thing I do forgetting, forgetting those things which are behind,

  548. and reaching forward to those things which are a hit.

  549. I press towards the goal for the price of the

  550. upper call of God in Christ Jesus. That will let us,

  551. as many are as mature, have this mind, and if

  552. in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this.

  553. You never the us to the degree that we have

  554. already attained. Let us walk by the same rule. Let

  555. us be of the same mind. Now, we're not telling

  556. you how to run your business. Page this and share

  557. this to the leaders. He told us that he's not

  558. telling us how to run a business. You run your business,

  559. how you are meant to run your business, and talking

  560. about your own personal life. But we are showing you,

  561. or in lack of a better word, teaching or guiding

  562. the church on how we should run God's business and

  563. his house and his kingdom. It is a ten percent

  564. that we need to administer. It is a ten percent

  565. that we need administer. So we are just showing you

  566. that this is what we have to do. The ninety

  567. percent that is yours. What you do about the vision,

  568. that is you. What you do about about your life,

  569. that's you. You know. Yesterday Elder Roles, as she was

  570. sharing to the young ones, she said this one courte.

  571. Apparently it's a very famous quote that those that are

  572. involved in training always you. Right, there was this person,

  573. a lady, there's a very very famous trainer. She came

  574. and then she said this one thing. You know what,

  575. I have eight hours with you. I've eight hours with you.

  576. I will just give you what I have, whether you

  577. listen or not. The one that loses out is you

  578. because I'm still getting paid. Then the lady said, I'm

  579. still getting paid. But you, on the other hand, if

  580. you are not participating, you're not listening, you just waste

  581. eight hours of your time. So that's on you, hah. Right.

  582. So there's one thing about a vision as well. Right

  583. when we receive it, especially if the Lord speaks to us,

  584. the Lord has already revealed to each area on of us.

  585. Now is up to us to see what is our

  586. part to play? Amen? What is our part to play?

  587. We're gonna give you some hints for success. Right. We

  588. can to be successful with fulfilling this vision if we

  589. There are a few points over here, and in the

  590. first part here it says make disciples, make disciples, and

  591. what make disciples equate to is to follow me, all right,

  592. not just me? Right? Bad Christ. You meant to follow Jesus. Yeah,

  593. follow Jesus. Do it in smaller groups, think about one

  594. or two, right, think about one person that you are

  595. given the privileged to journey with in your life, in

  596. your in your circle group, Like, how how can you

  597. even take it to the next level? Right? Some always

  598. may think that, you know what, I'm already of a

  599. sudden agianaler. Perhaps it's time to retire, uh and to

  600. you know, just receive. But let me just break something

  601. to you. I believe very strongly that until the day

  602. we are called home to build a Lord, there is

  603. a plan and purpose that He has for us. You know,

  604. why else is he still keeping us alive in this

  605. suffering world? Right? Why there must be a purpose that

  606. we are still alive today, that we're still breeding today.

  607. And I believe that as long as you're alive, you

  608. should continue yourself the lot. Sollow Jesus, follow Jesus. Bland

  609. churches on every street and in every school, bring church

  610. nearer to you. Now for some of you, and you

  611. see this, you go like, that's the job of the

  612. church pastor. He should be the one planting the church. Now,

  613. let me talk about church We're not just talking about

  614. a building, and you know that they're talking about wherever

  615. you are that church. They're talking about wherever you are

  616. in your company. To those that in your company that

  617. may not know Christ, that is their only reference of Church,

  618. that is the only reference of who Jesus is. You

  619. you because you are made in the image of God,

  620. and wherever you are, you should reflect the line of Jesus.

  621. The next church. You should bring church closer, closer and

  622. closer to those that have yet to experience the saving

  623. grace of the knowledge of Jesus Christ a church with

  624. us in another in another in another session, he says

  625. that a church is a disciple. A church can be

  626. a building, a church can be a place, but a

  627. church must be a disciple. That is, when we when

  628. we say that we plan ex Osaka, we plant ex Germany,

  629. we plant x UK, we're actually not planting churches. We're

  630. planting disciples. Because planting a disciple would mean that this

  631. person is ready to follow Jesus. We're not just planning

  632. a church for the sake of it. We plan disciples first,

  633. and the disciples plan the church. Planting a disciple produces

  634. a leader when passes started x Osaka. You know, by

  635. the grace of God and all glory goes back to him.

  636. The church is growing now, Amen. But you can ask

  637. pas Benji and Pasa Michelle. We have to predationer know

  638. this this couple as a leader there now. Friend still

  639. still look up to them a lot, and the work

  640. that they do. I don't know. I'm not sure anyone

  641. you're fluent in the Japanese language. Anyone's fluent. I know someone,

  642. I know someone that's fluent. See you. Yes, it is easy.

  643. The language to learn not easy, right, I want to

  644. learn Mandarin and doesn't want to diary.

  645. Right.

  646. I kin't even learn Mandarin, you know, I don't understand English.

  647. Got twenty four easy, twenty four, twenty six, twenty six

  648. words because I take you and I are of it,

  649. decided twenty four had little but Japanese. I don't know.

  650. It's a different anywhere, right, It's like so difficult to learn.

  651. And then Korean for the matter. My wife went to

  652. Korea the media other day and she's like telling me,

  653. she's like everywhere she goes, it's like, hey, this is

  654. on Rila. She can't read, you know, I'm like, whoa

  655. this girl? Just spend two weeks and she can Recordinally, Oh,

  656. I tell you what, that's not me. That's not me

  657. Mandrin for me cannot cannot. But Japanese is like, it's

  658. something so so different. And you can ask us the

  659. Benji and Master Michelle, how much struggle they actually go through.

  660. Can you imagine to reach out to the population that

  661. does not actually have it in the culture. They actually

  662. believe in something that else they can't even explain sin,

  663. It's something so foreign to them, but yet they choose

  664. to obey, and disciples were planted and through that and

  665. true that a guy what's his name? I forgot his name,

  666. Taka Takashia is it? Is it? I think Sola right

  667. or some gayla. He was then found in ext Osaka right.

  668. And then now he's a translator one year later. Trust

  669. you think, so you know, one year ago to just

  670. accept the Christ, really take it his life. I think

  671. it's accept the Christ salvation that means the first gen

  672. And then now he's translating the Word of God. Can

  673. you imagine without the faithfulness, without the tie, without the

  674. leaven that Basabenjisa Miha surrendered themselves to, this would not

  675. be possible. Bassa Benjia our missionaries that we send to

  676. ex Osaka, Okay, to Japan. So fronding a disciple produces

  677. a leader. Matthew nineteen twenty six says, but Jesus look

  678. at them and say to them with men, this is impossible.

  679. We look at Bassa Benji, a Malaysian. We look at

  680. Bassa Michelle, another Malaysian, and then men will say, there's

  681. no way these two Malaysians are going to reach the Japanese.

  682. No way. We need to learn run the japan Japanese right,

  683. it's got a kais and all and everything come here.

  684. We need to learn from them. So efficient, the way

  685. they do things so quick. It's not they are so

  686. successful in what they do. That's what a way will say.

  687. They need to reach us, not rereach them in terns

  688. of knowledge, but with men this is impossible. But we've

  689. got all things huh possible. We've got Bassa Benji and

  690. Basia Michelle will have been able to bring glory to

  691. the name of Jesus Amen in Japan. And and and

  692. and we know that at least for now, there's already

  693. one couple that is rooted down. We know, we know,

  694. and there are many more that are coming and visiting.

  695. But we know there's also a baptism that occurred in

  696. the seas of Japan. How cool is that? To get

  697. baptized the seas of Japan. It's amazing and and and

  698. and and and. A few years ago, we wouldn't have

  699. to think that this is possible. We wouldn't have think

  700. it's possible learning a new language from scratch. And it

  701. takes effort to learn a new language. How many of

  702. you ready to learn thy? Yeah? Our friends and our friends.

  703. Rachel is literally a tin now. She can speak so

  704. so fluent. Every time she goes to Exchang Mai, she's

  705. like one of them, sabody car you know that car

  706. cop con crop and that's all I know, corn Cob

  707. that should shop stop there not. I don't know what

  708. I'm saying. Something wrong, right, Matthew phone I d says

  709. that he said to them, follow me and I'll make

  710. you vicies of men follow me. You know, sometimes we

  711. look at this vision and we go like, yeah, I

  712. tell you what, I tell you what? Yeah. Pasta may

  713. be saying whatever he's saying up there. The speakers will

  714. be saying whatever he's saying. Up there. But I tell

  715. you what, that's because he's a pastela. That's because he's

  716. a leader. That's why he's he has owners, That's why

  717. he can do it. No, I tell you what, Friends,

  718. I am the same as you. You shiver, I shive more. Okay,

  719. In fact, I'm shivering now. I just found out yesterday

  720. that I have a syndrome. Yes, I just found ou

  721. yesterday that I was to get my hand and I

  722. go like, oh, my hand is moving? Is it normal?

  723. I don't know he's moving. I'm shivering. Await, Yeah, I'm

  724. shivering as well. Right, I just thought out yesterday. Yeah,

  725. me here as well. Praise the Lord. Lord will make

  726. me hold Alilujah. So let's not worry about it because

  727. God will enable us. He will enable us. Right, met

  728. you for follow me? You know sometimes you may be worried,

  729. what what am I going to do with this vision?

  730. How am I going to do this? God said, follow him?

  731. And and and did you know that if you don't

  732. know where to start, the would have God? And And

  733. I learned this one day while I was talking to

  734. a young teenager. He said, actually, then I really don't

  735. know how to follow Jesus. What can what should I do?

  736. Can you give me? Can you give me clear instruction

  737. or what to do? Some people follow instruction very well.

  738. And I said, okay, if you really want to follow Jesus,

  739. you're to first read this word right. So if you

  740. don't know what Jesus do and what he meant by

  741. following him, then read the ten comments. Do you follow

  742. the ten commments? Do you honor your parents? Follow Jesus

  743. and the honor parents? I said, because that's one would

  744. have God say some of us were we are saying, Oh,

  745. I haven't heard the Lord spoke to me yet? What

  746. does following Jesus even mean? Friends? He has spoken already?

  747. Did you know that he has already spoken? Did you

  748. know that you should not defound yourself with the king's delicacies?

  749. Because you purpose in your heart that that that that

  750. story right is not just ment for their neil. You

  751. know of the Bible. It's just it's not just men

  752. for him, it's men for all of us. Because as

  753. a word of God, it is epical to us. Thou

  754. shalt not give to caesars. What is caesars? Give to God?

  755. What is God? There's many things that we if we

  756. have not heard aud believe from the Lord Boom now

  757. to this place. There are many things that we have

  758. already known that he has spoken. And perhaps and perhaps

  759. maybe I maybe touching on some soft sensitive spots here,

  760. but maybe we're not even listening to yet. Maybe we're

  761. not even obeying yet. Amen, have you really forgiven everyone

  762. that we know? The offended us? I struggle. I struggle

  763. with the forgiving, but forgive, forgive ken, but I will

  764. not forget that. Can you imagine if God look at

  765. us that way? You want to forgive this? Sure, forgive you,

  766. but I will not forget. I will not forget Rasa

  767. what you did to me. Huh you see that your

  768. house in heaven? How small you will be? Can you

  769. imagine if God kira with us my balance that calls

  770. us must balancer? Can you imagine that's time doing accounting.

  771. That's the one thing that may give you the most

  772. stress on k It's called what I don't know what

  773. is it? Balance? Shit? Yeah? So stress, Candl Palace nights

  774. can all sleep because Cannon Bellace have to find wish

  775. wish part didn't balance? Right? Do you imagine God actually

  776. treat us that ten percent time? I don't need it

  777. you know, but actually, yeah, generally to December you tipe

  778. eight times out of it, out of the whole month,

  779. twelf times. You need time eight times four ties in life?

  780. Can you imagine you got actually thinks that way an

  781. x that way. So if if God is not doing

  782. it with us, and we know he's not, because he's

  783. not that kind of God he desires a relationship with us,

  784. then why are we doing it to others? When I

  785. when I, when I, when I talk about forgiveness, right,

  786. I truly believe, I truly believe that there will come

  787. a day and time where forgiveness is equated to forget forget,

  788. because this world is saying I can forgive, but I

  789. cannot forget. The Lord challenged me one day that why

  790. are you succumbing yourself to the ways of this world?

  791. Because that's what the world says. No, there's a term

  792. that doesn't the term doesn't belong in the Bible. It is,

  793. it's not it's not much. Chapter four, verse the twenty

  794. six it says thou shall forgive and not forget. Can

  795. you can anyone point me to that kind of scripture

  796. in the Bible? No, stop say that. In fact, I

  797. can point to the opposite, because what does seven times

  798. seven even mean? What is seven times seventy seven times?

  799. What does it even mean? In a day? You know

  800. that means you forgive until you forget la getting on.

  801. You keep counting one time forget, forgive, second time forgive,

  802. time forgift, fourth time forgive. No is your forgive until

  803. it becomes a lifestyle. So I show that you don't

  804. cry anymore. You stop key rying, you stop counting, right,

  805. you stop counting. Let by guns be bygones, move on

  806. and move forwards. Now this message may be a bit challenging. Now,

  807. trust me when I say this, I personally have a

  808. story right that if I share, you will know that

  809. it's very very difficult. It's a very difficult season that

  810. I went through my life, and it's very hard to

  811. forget that the Lord has allowed me after practice. You know,

  812. it takes practice. It takes like, okay, you know what,

  813. I'm just not going to care anymore. Yes, I forgiven.

  814. But now I can say that perhaps I'm getting to

  815. a stage where I think I forgetting already, I even

  816. forgetting details. I used to have night mess when I

  817. was younger. I used to have night mess recounting every

  818. detail of what happened to me by this person, what

  819. he faltered me and me. I used to have nightmass,

  820. I used to wake up cold sweat just thinking about it.

  821. But now I am set free. I no longer think

  822. about it anymore. And how can that even happened? It's

  823. because I start to forgive, forgive, forgive, and do appointed. Actually,

  824. you know what, I forget details. So the word of God,

  825. the word of God is important. And for some of us,

  826. if you don't know where to start and start with

  827. the word of God, turn turn to any pitch of

  828. the Bible. Honestly, I try this. There is a verse

  829. stess applicable to you. There is a verse stess epical

  830. to Yuan. Love your neighbor. You know, you know what

  831. Jesus saying. Jesus already said, love your neighbor? Are you

  832. loving your neighbor? The Are you loving your neighbor? Are

  833. you inviting them to your home? Are you? Are you

  834. are you making friends with them? Are you talking to them?

  835. These are these are something that God the Lord has

  836. challenged me with. And I'm just going to relate a

  837. challenge to each and every one of you. Okay, So

  838. let's go fishing. I don't know how many you like

  839. to fish. I was once introduced to the concept of fishing.

  840. It's not fun because you just sit there the whole

  841. day and you just wait for the fish to bite

  842. the bit. It's not easy. But let's go fishing. Let's

  843. go fishing with the power of God. To fish, we

  844. need an effective bit. God leave us alone. Follow me

  845. and I will make you fishes of men. Follow me,

  846. and I will make you fishes of men. God did

  847. not leave us alone as fishermen without bait. The bit

  848. is the power of God is called the supernatural anointing.

  849. The anointing, the signs and wonders and miracles and the

  850. healings and deliverance. The Kingdom comes first. Then God gives

  851. us the power and it all goes back to God

  852. for his glory Matter six thirteen. And the Lord's prayer

  853. by saying for yours is the Kingdom, the power, the

  854. glory forever and ever. Amen. Amen, Thank you. God has

  855. given us the bit, and the bait is the power.

  856. The power is the Holy Spirit. When you go fishing,

  857. you're not alone. If you go alone fishing, you will

  858. not catch the fish. But if you go with the

  859. power the Holy Spirit. You'll be able to because when

  860. you speak and you really believe it, miracles, signs and

  861. wonders will happen. Amen. I want to encourage all of

  862. us if you have not tried it, activate your faith.

  863. H really believe it, really believe it when it comes

  864. to the supernatural and when the people see. And that's

  865. how the Bible says that, well, when the people see, right,

  866. the miracles that follow, they will believe. Amen, the science

  867. and wonders. Amen. Now what's the issue. The issue here

  868. is the lack of confidence? What's that was remaining? Like,

  869. you know, what's the kind of you kind of ship

  870. the other day that every time he goes to funeral, Uh,

  871. he will actually try to pray for the day to rise.

  872. And I think she is here before and and you

  873. you you heard it from him, right, you know. I

  874. being his uh follower, I follow after him and I try.

  875. I was actually one day quite uh and convicted to

  876. try it myself with my own dad. Yeah I didn't.

  877. I didn't, Huh. I didn't, Okay, So I don't know

  878. what I saw his face and I cannot okay. So

  879. it's it's it's it's just, it's just but but what

  880. is stopping us from doing something like that? Right? What

  881. is stopping us from doing something that is the lack

  882. of confidence? Imagine if the prophet that was share about

  883. the one that ran around raising the dat one, do

  884. you think he will have an issue of a lack

  885. of confidence because he has seen the thing before writes

  886. on the date. Really, if you see the team, then

  887. what's the what's the problem with fourteen of fifteen or sixteen?

  888. The issue here is the lack of confidence? All right?

  889. How do you feel when you hear that our partners

  890. will healed of cancer? But what do you feel? Do

  891. you attribute it to the medical technology that he is

  892. to ask of today? Right? The feeling of confidence? How

  893. many of you have felt it before? You like this girl? Right?

  894. You don't know what the girl like? You're not You're scared.

  895. You scared the post because you don't know what you

  896. want to say. But if I say a little bit,

  897. we splain in the year. Actually, you know like you

  898. and you know there's an whole inside you're confident confidence

  899. because you know what you know? She like you were Okay. However,

  900. we often struggle and ministry due to the lack of confidence.

  901. So let's let's break down confidence, and then we're going

  902. to close very quickly confidence. We're gonna start with the

  903. one in the middle. Confidence comes with results, Amen, confidence

  904. comes with results. However, results does not just happen. Results

  905. does not just happen. Results happen when we sow. Amen,

  906. results happened when we sow the seed. Because scripture sees

  907. when you saw, you shall read. Now. A very wise

  908. person told me yesterday I was taking a conversation and

  909. say that, hey, actually, have you ever thought about it?

  910. And uhh, not name who, but have you ever thought

  911. about it? That actually God planted the garden. Everything else

  912. he spoke, but this one, but he planted. There's a

  913. lot of concept about gardening in the Bible, and I

  914. found it very intriguing when this person are showing me,

  915. it was very intriguing. Right, that means be planting. I

  916. don't know how many of you are gardeners. It actually

  917. takes time for the thing to grow. And right, it's

  918. not like your plants. Right, I don't know which blunder

  919. is that. Besides, it takes time, right, And the concept

  920. of gardening is the concept of planting, and the person

  921. that is watering. Right. It could be Apollos, you could

  922. be Paul right, but you are to plant it the seed.

  923. You may not see the tree grow into its fullness,

  924. but maybe your son or your daughter will, or your

  925. brother or the person that you pass on that thing

  926. to it will That's the concept of gardening, right. SoC says,

  927. you shall sew and you shall rip. The hope is

  928. that we don't keep just talking about the vision, sharing

  929. or the vision. The hope is that one day we

  930. will have the vision in our mind, in our hearts,

  931. but start doing something about it. Because if you do

  932. not sow, you are not reap. And if you don't reap,

  933. you don't get the results. Reaping its results. And if

  934. you sow, you reap. You start to see what suddenly

  935. got two students from Marster come because because I obeyed

  936. God and I went into that university, and suddenly out

  937. of that two students came. Sally the confidence growdy. Now

  938. you're no longer afraid when when you are asked to

  939. go in again. Right, I don't know how many of

  940. you again. The concept of earning, right, you you you

  941. earn your first ring gate right? You know, not confident

  942. your of your sales speech was weak. You just studied

  943. a company. You stand up there, you like you like

  944. cula the door to say, But suddenly you get your

  945. first customer. And then from the first customer you go like,

  946. I tell you what, I can't do this. But you

  947. remember friends where you how you got there or she

  948. spent countless nights preparing your presentation, talking to yourself. You're

  949. the mirror, right, and then suddenly you know how you

  950. are here and you're able to not preach. You're even

  951. now to share what you think the pitch is the

  952. sales speech. And then from one customer, second customer, the

  953. customer now before long, before you know you have like

  954. your audiblet is like twenty to thirty forty already right,

  955. But it's not somewhere right. You still have to have

  956. that first customer right, and the first customer you were

  957. even willing to give for free. But you have to

  958. sew soul. So I pray that as you hear this vision, right,

  959. you have to play your part so so in the

  960. lives of young people. Our young people have a great

  961. future ahead of them. Amen. You choose to believe that

  962. all of your children, they are very bright now but

  963. it takes a village to raise a child. It takes

  964. all of us because some of us may be serving.

  965. And then a lady, your kid, perhaps being bright, may

  966. do something that perhaps is not right. Do you go

  967. like I tell you what, Let's find the father and mother,

  968. ask him to come. But the parents are busy serving

  969. God in other areas. Shouldn't you say that little girl

  970. a little boy, you shouldn't be doing that. Right, So,

  971. so into the lives of young people, and as you sow,

  972. you will get the results. And as the results come,

  973. you'll get the confidence. So as I started with that,

  974. the first step is the conviction. The conviction. First, you

  975. hear the vision. You hear the vision, you convicted by

  976. the word of God. Then you experience a revival. As

  977. you do that, clarity comes with r relation. Right, you

  978. hear the vision, you read the word of God. The

  979. word of God says thou shall love God. You must

  980. love God. And that comes to revelation. How do you

  981. love God? What do you do with this? Right? Then

  982. you hear the path or you do this by growing small.

  983. Now there's the condition, growing small as we are back

  984. in the vision right now, and then you do it.

  985. You say, okay, tell you what. I don't really know

  986. whether it works or not, but let me try. Let

  987. me try to grow small, let me try to reach

  988. out to someone. And then suddenly you see that someone

  989. come to church and you go like, WHOA actually works?

  990. It works, and then you start to have courage. Courage

  991. comes with resolve, conquer comes with very reliance, and celebration

  992. comes to reward the second. The second part says, conviction

  993. leads to clarity, Clarity leads to confidence, Confidence leads to courage,

  994. Courage leads to conquering, and conquering leads to celebration. Don't

  995. forget to celebrate, guys, don't forget to celebrate. The other

  996. word for celebrate is giving glory the court. Amen, don't

  997. forget to do that. Firs. John five fourteen. Now this

  998. is the confidence that we have in him, that if

  999. he asks anything according to his will, he hears us. Amen,

  1000. he hears us. Now on one young person said, well,

  1001. I tell you what, But then this word say, if

  1002. I ask anything of the Lord, he shall give it

  1003. to me. So I want a PS five Now I

  1004. said hello. It also continues says, according to his will.

  1005. So it's God's vital for you to have ps. Five.

  1006. If it is you should have it, there's a reason

  1007. why you won't have it now, because perhaps it's not

  1008. God feel for you. Amen, what are you gonna do

  1009. with at Ps? Five? We do have confidence because of

  1010. the lack of results, But let's pray that the results

  1011. will come as we begin to solve. So are you

  1012. even sowing? Pre Believers struggle your conviction. Believers struggle with confidence.

  1013. Leaders struggle with courage. That's why Joshua one nine says,

  1014. be strong and very courageous. Be strong and very courageous.

  1015. We are not alone. Thank God, we're not alone. He

  1016. has given us his Holy Spirit, sacred or for six.

  1017. So he answers, say to me, this is the word

  1018. of the Lord desirablele not by might, not by power,

  1019. but by the spirit, says the Lord of Hosts. You

  1020. know this verse, and we're going to close very soon.

  1021. This verse is one of my favorite words in the Bible,

  1022. and says this, if a son asks for a bread

  1023. or from any father among you, will he gives him

  1024. a stone. As as as poor as you are, I

  1025. believe you want to give the best that you can

  1026. do your children. And I declare that the spirit of

  1027. poverty will not be upon it anyone in this church.

  1028. You will not be upon anyone. And if you are struggling,

  1029. I pray the him of Jesus you'll be set free

  1030. for the spirit of poverty. However, However, as parents, I

  1031. know you may have one hundred thousand in your bank right,

  1032. you may have that and your children. The course that

  1033. she's about to take or he is all, is nine thousand.

  1034. I'm sure. I'm sure that you will consider it, even

  1035. though it means giving it all, because that's your king,

  1036. that's your blood, and you love that person. Or if

  1037. you ask for a fish, will he give him a

  1038. serpent instead of a fish. Or if he asks for

  1039. an age, will he give offer him a scorpion? If you, then,

  1040. being evil, know how to give this? But because we

  1041. have all seen and follows shur gglory of God. Amen,

  1042. If you, then, being evil, know how to give good

  1043. gives to your children. How much more will your heavenly

  1044. Father give the Holy Spirit to those who asked of him?

  1045. How much more will he give? Could it be that

  1046. our daily bread is the Holy Spirit? Could it be

  1047. that our daily bread is the Holy Spirit? Look for

  1048. eighteen nineteen says, the spirit of the Lord is upon me,

  1049. because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to

  1050. the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted,

  1051. to proclaim liberty to the captives, and recovery to the

  1052. side of the blind, to set a liberty those who oppress,

  1053. to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord X two,

  1054. sixteen twenty one. But this is what was spoken to

  1055. by the prophet Joel, and he shall come to pass

  1056. in the last day, says God, that I will pour

  1057. out my spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your

  1058. daughters shall prophisye, your young men shall see visions, your

  1059. old men shall dream dreams. And on my men servant

  1060. and my maid servants will pour out my spirit those days,

  1061. and they shall prophesy. And I will show wonders in

  1062. heaven above, and signs of beneath blood and fire away

  1063. of smoke. The signs shall be turned into darkness the

  1064. morning to blood, before the coming of the great and

  1065. awesome day of the Lord should come the past that

  1066. whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be

  1067. Say that whoever calls the name of the Lord shall

  1068. be safe. Prophecy is the first thing that the Holy

  1069. Spirit does when he comes upon us. That's the first

  1070. thing he does. It changes our lingo. When we start

  1071. to speak the language of the Holy Spirit, we start

  1072. to prophesy. The Holy Spirit gives us the ability to prophisie.

  1073. If you're long enough in next years, you have known

  1074. that one the team that has been gilling to us

  1075. is prophecy to prophesie. But we will not be able

  1076. to prophisize without the annoying thing of the Holy Spirit.

  1077. So therefore, could it be that the Holy Spirit is

  1078. our Dailyborate prophesie, friends and family into your situation. Prophesy

  1079. in your elect in the name of Jesus. Read the scriptures. Prophesy.

  1080. Have to have the courage to actually do it. Have

  1081. the courage to actually say that you know what God

  1082. is good, you know you know what I tell you

  1083. what though I am weak, but He is strong. Have

  1084. the courage to say that if you don't know what

  1085. to prophesy, you don't what to pray. Open the scripture

  1086. and read from death. Blessed are those who are poe

  1087. and spirit blessed to those who are made. Come on,

  1088. continue to prophesy the Word of God over our lives.

  1089. Please do not Please, do not think that here you

  1090. need to know have a certain amount of wisdom to

  1091. in order to pray. Some wists may have that thought

  1092. in our mind. I pray that you'll be set free

  1093. because I tell you what. Just read. God giving you

  1094. the ability to read, you can just read. And as

  1095. you read, you practice, He will continue to anoint you

  1096. more and more. Amen, Romans force day, and is written,

  1097. I have made you a father of many nations in

  1098. the presence of him who he believed, God who gives

  1099. life to the day and calls those things which do

  1100. not exist as though they did, call those things as

  1101. though they did. They don't exist right now. Rite, Your

  1102. courage does not exist right now to lead a group

  1103. of people, to lead the homes, to lead a self group,

  1104. to lead a dream team, to lead your own life.

  1105. You may not have the courage now, but you can

  1106. call it into existence by prophesying. Start somewhere, Amen. First

  1107. Corindians fourteen twenty four to twenty five. But if all

  1108. prophesy and unbeliever or an uninformed person comes in, he

  1109. is convinced by all. He is convicted by all, and

  1110. thus the secrets of his heart are revealed and so

  1111. falling down on his face, he will worship God and

  1112. report that God is truly among you. Look at that.

  1113. That's the power of prophecy. Amen. A must eight eleven,

  1114. and we shall close. If this behold, the days of

  1115. the Lord are coming, says the Lord God, that I

  1116. will send a femine on the land, not a femine

  1117. of bread, nor urst for water, but of the hearing

  1118. of the words of the Lord. No person family, there

  1119. will be a femine of the word of God. And

  1120. if you don't really realize, it's already happening, but let

  1121. us pray that it will always be found in a

  1122. true ex church. Let us pray there one day when

  1123. we are in the prisons, we shall shout out, we

  1124. shall sing, and the prisons door will break, will be

  1125. set loose, and the change will be broken. It is

  1126. side first, then proclamation, what have you seen? However, what

  1127. you see, you must proclaim what you see your mass

  1128. proclaim that's the next light. Amen, And we will end

  1129. with this verse. And we'll do this together, and encourage

  1130. us to do this together. The pitch number fifty one, sorry,

  1131. fifty three says this. Now we can see. Let's speak

  1132. the speech Bubble says, chat right speak, preach. The class

  1133. suggests for claim, converse and courage with the world of

  1134. knowledge and wisdom. So let's stop talking. Let us stop

  1135. just talking, and let us start prophesying. Amen, Because it's

  1136. one thing to talk, is another to prophesy. That means

  1137. when we really release believe in our young people and say,

  1138. like just been one day is going to lead the church.

  1139. We do not just say it, but we prophesied. And

  1140. I can say this, OLDI you can one days a

  1141. leader of church. Yeah, because he can't, he can't praise

  1142. a lot he will, right, It's possible. It's possible that

  1143. a lot will enable maybe even a first generation Christian

  1144. to do so. You know, I forgot his name is

  1145. Bill Wilson or the one that got shot in the

  1146. chicks on right, shot a lot. Yeah. He is a

  1147. Sunday school teacher, uh and Sunday school leader, pastor bus conductor.

  1148. He raised it bus. He he he got shot in

  1149. the chick, you know, and there was a hole in

  1150. his chick. And he did this. He did this not

  1151. for the the titles, not even for the church, but

  1152. he did this for the little children. And today I

  1153. think he's seventy plus y today and he's still passed

  1154. through the children. So how many of you here about

  1155. seventy Please do not raise your hands, still serving the children,

  1156. still doing Sunday school, still doing ex kins. I don't

  1157. know whether Rachel and vision yourself at eighty years old

  1158. doing exkis by the grace of God. If God still

  1159. give give us breath, we shall continue to serve. I

  1160. don't know. And is there a limitation going like, hey,

  1161. you know what, after a certain age, the kids no

  1162. longer like me. No, I tell you what. It's whether

  1163. you are willing or not. So there is a space

  1164. for everyone in this church. Imen, there's a space for

  1165. everyone in this church to serve. Amen. So I pray

  1166. that as we are bene vision, we're done. We're done right,

  1167. we are done with the six part series. I hope

  1168. that from today onwards you will know in your heart

  1169. what is the vision that God has given the extra

  1170. that's number one and number two. The mission that He

  1171. has given to us is to make disciples that make

  1172. the difference, Amen. Pace fifty four is for you to

  1173. reflect at home, Okay, to do your own hard check.

  1174. What can you do to buy your own lack of confidence.

  1175. How can you turn me in the power the Holy
