-
Let me begin. So the basis of okay, the basis
-
of missions. So let me begin by explaining the difference
-
between these two wards, mission and missions. Round that.
-
That's happy England, the family that's eager.
-
That's happy. All right. So the word mission, most of
-
words will know it as an important goal or task
-
that you're assigned to.
-
Now mean, that's just that is a useful to me
-
out the movie quantity.
-
And I'm sure you're familiar with this movie called mission impossible.
-
That you can't go take mission impossible?
-
How many have you watched the recent one? Okay? Okay,
-
I like the.
-
Movie Okay, so he's not a mission how he has
-
important critic tasks so called the world is depending on
-
him to save the world.
-
Question?
-
Know what?
-
How ted like?
-
Fun fact? I like to watch the Sky movie because
-
it gives me like a of a motivation. You know, okay,
-
don't leave okay. So what's the difference with the word missions?
-
Shabby?
-
You know, it's a word that is used by the
-
Christian Church to you know, the Christian moving out of
-
his or her comfort zone into a different culture to
-
bring the good news of Christ to them.
-
She see the shus around, do do the food in
-
that trun get Hammond.
-
How many of you know that Jesus is actually the
-
greatest missionary.
-
No, think about it this way, in case you Jesus
-
had a mission, yes to.
-
His mission was to come to Earth to die on
-
the cross. Today you and I can be reconcilt with.
-
Not just a lie that the city is sound a
-
way woman, the three that the show folk that was
-
the mission that he was sent lie me now, Jesus
-
to we did missions? Cause yeah, like she strang out,
-
why because he had to leave heaven and come down
-
to earth in when high light that Redian.
-
Into a world that was filled with mass, filled with
-
sin and selfishness.
-
Put on the the same way.
-
But he did it anyway because he's our greatest missionary.
-
That you and I can learn from.
-
Face woman that she should see that.
-
And you're also learn at homes that missions is about
-
God's glory.
-
Yea that down a strangeron Yeah, and you hear us
-
often callte this scripture found in Hapa Cook chapter two, vers.
-
Fourteen.
-
Message will show a downstairs city, it says, for the
-
earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory
-
of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. Just Homeman,
-
P and D how sound straight, Evan, So.
-
It's all about him, his glory.
-
So you now there's a way the generon.
-
Yeah, everything that we are, everything that we do, is
-
all for his glory.
-
But in the generon Yeah, And as believers, our mission
-
here on earth is to be a witness for Jesus
-
woman the take Yeah, the un.
-
Genreal. Another word for them, and you may be familiar with,
-
is evangelism just a snya. And how do you even
-
know that? That is when you valid here on earth,
-
because when you get to heaven, you don't need to
-
evangelize anyone in heaven. She's a p So that makes
-
our mission even more important here on earth.
-
So you know, just around mons, they got that tech
-
mean a gunway on.
-
You and missions is uncomfortable to many of us because
-
we need to come out of our comfort zone.
-
Now. A three woman Honduran lives was a page image woman,
-
she past woman, the st.
-
We are creatures of comfort.
-
Women evand one they get ron.
-
We love to hang around our own group of people
-
to the c GD, but God has called us to
-
do missions, to go to people who are not of
-
our own.
-
Searching you why the rent life? She shang Harman to
-
we shared a love of Christ with them, and she
-
round the window and her eyes Hammond.
-
So missions is not spelled missions.
-
With the m saying that in that they see it
-
in that that water. It's not about us. What's that woman,
-
It's about the glory of God. Yeah, the people that
-
were reaching with the.
-
Love of Christ. High omens.
-
Sure like you furnish, Yes, you do do the eitherension.
-
So if you have a Bible, why don't you turn
-
with me to X Chapter one, verse eight.
-
Fandouts twenty each party. Now many of us will be
-
familiar with this verse.
-
Enguin. This was the promise of the Holy Spirit given
-
to the disciples.
-
Thy sendling gate, she.
-
Ship it Saasier.
-
But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has
-
come upon you, and you shall be witnesses to me
-
in Jerusalem and in all ju they are, and Samaria
-
and to the end of the earth sing you beat
-
the you know the salm.
-
You're tied so I'm gonna say it again. We are
-
filled with the Holy Spirit for a purpose.
-
So know what your side shang moments certainly like wait,
-
you eat you?
-
What is that purpose? Come on, we just read it
-
to be a witness for Jesus.
-
No yeah she wait, yes, she tow.
-
So what does this word witness mean? So I'm going
-
to give you a little different perspective today. She gets.
-
Now if you study this root word of this word witness.
-
She witness to the un when she can't know. In
-
Greek it's called martis. They take a martis.
-
Of course, it means a witness a legal, historical, ethical sense.
-
Just chldren shund to you, lenely.
-
Imagine going to a court and you have to witness
-
for an incident or event that happened.
-
Shoot out, it's just in fashion, money or children.
-
So you're basically saying what you saw, what you felt,
-
what you heard.
-
Just need to count down the nick and show down
-
and ching.
-
That's what the winness is. Just But did you know
-
there's another meaning to this.
-
Word because I have link got the East.
-
And by analogy it means a martyr.
-
Just lately, like should you see your shinned out?
-
How many of business. Do you want to be a
-
winness for Jesus?
-
You say, Hi shan, yes to there. Man.
-
You know, I remember when I was in the missions
-
field one time.
-
You tagatif I wouldn't mention the pastor's name and the
-
location a.
-
Thief found your because this is recorded at the location. Uh,
-
there was a village that came to the pastor and
-
who brought us for the for the trip turn down?
-
And how do you like shealing out the thief?
-
Then? And you too, the pastor, you gotta leave or
-
call the police.
-
Hold you you now like she in like she and Hamma,
-
so neil she can like she bouting.
-
So we continue to linger for a little while, no sha.
-
And then after that the passer came out to me
-
and said, you got to go. Let's go now try
-
not to light that woman toler and we.
-
Left Julie and then on the car on the way
-
back to the house, churney men without the other to ask.
-
Me this question, how do you ready to go to
-
prison for the gospel? Were into for you? You need
-
she to allow? What do you think?
-
My answer was the answer summer okay. So that that
-
was still a campus students, Hi I said yes. Now
-
then I think to what do you go to your signs?
-
But you know there's a cause to die, Yeah, the
-
winness for Jesus situations, Are you willing to die for
-
your faith? Intert sing Young waitness for him the scene
-
and like she just sees the same, like waited years
-
to do. I pray you never need to come to
-
the place now she aana needs to push you out out.
-
But even if you have to pray, you stand strong
-
because it turns people the honey she didn't think so
-
I thought about this word matter turns ah that is
-
And in many ways it's quite true, you know, don't
-
find me and that she didn't have because.
-
Sometimes even for us to be a witness for Jesus
-
to share the gospel.
-
Hold down woman, you're like you furnishing for inli ship.
-
We feel we shout it nights.
-
You have you been there your you know, especially around
-
family members and friends that are close to you.
-
Your teasing that any ching fan how your live in.
-
Why because they've seen the worsiness.
-
Hamma you cannot wonder to see poor.
-
I find it's it's the hardest to share with them.
-
What do yours continuement her tea. On the flip side,
-
it can also be the easiest because yeah, than that
-
if they have seen your life turn around in wait, god,
-
Hama kinda is mean down the guy been.
-
What I'm trying to say is that in some ways
-
we need to die to our own selfish desire because
-
you want to share the gospel because.
-
Atitution woman, your life, your furnish sunction for in the
-
whole woman your life. She's thirty. So that's what it
-
means to be a witness, not juice innacy.
-
So the Holy Spirit was given to us so that
-
you and I can be a witness. Somebody say, amen,
-
the Holy Spirit is given to us so that we
-
can be a witness.
-
Just a certainly let's see you maman situation to incent.
-
It's not just for ourselves, but the world may be reached.
-
How round take a shitty put on the random pay troop.
-
So we see the permise. In X one, it say
-
t eat young party you can ship and you.
-
Know, friends, what God promises it will come to pass.
-
Now ye shouldn't mean eating way.
-
This is the turning point for X one.
-
It take a tat got to answer.
-
I call it the turning point because you feed the
-
two numbers.
-
Think justnger Holm the drump. You get x eight one
-
just to eat party? What does eight one say?
-
Yes? Eating? And that's that's read it together to screen. Now,
-
Saul was consenting to his death, and at that time
-
a great persecution arose against the Church which was at Jerusalem,
-
and they were all scattered thout the regions of Judea
-
and Samaria.
-
Accept the apostles, now, don't want that sour? Yeah, shed
-
bay high soanter yell sales out, be high, show environment too,
-
dolphin Chanta, you'll tie her shu.
-
Well, it took a great time of persecution for this
-
for me to come the past.
-
Dan, do the Tiger people hold ying She's highlight?
-
Now maybe perhaps some of hers may have gotten comfortable.
-
No woman tied shoe fuller. But God can use a
-
time of trouble to make his promises or his you know,
-
whatever he has ordained to come to pass. Because in
-
the round, Chin, the keyword here is that all of
-
all of us are involved. That the Quantian seduces may
-
Yiger and like she told that she don't the disciples
-
were scattered across you there and Samaria.
-
This istrue to manmand she fan.
-
Except the apostles. I presume they needed to stay back
-
in Jerusalem as a as a h Q as the
-
main location to Mohamma.
-
Yellow sounded nalid like she how did she darken the defunct?
-
The key is that all of us are involved.
-
Mantuansa, and so the disciples were not called to be
-
comfortable just in Jerusalem. So just that yellow siln your shoe.
-
But the gods had to be preached outside of Jerusalem.
-
Because tiger inside yellow salon. Why like you finished young
-
and if.
-
You actually see the Book of X, it covers these
-
three areas.
-
You know.
-
Like you can't and you're gonna cannot sund on.
-
The first seven chapters the Gospels preaching Jerusalem.
-
They eat out that yellow Salonapter eight twelve.
-
The Gospels preached with Judea and Samaria.
-
Thirty deep down, so that your tie twenty her after
-
to the ends.
-
Of the earth in c D. Friends, God didn't call
-
us just to be comfortable on our own.
-
But you mention that you hold out a shoeful the
-
diser and.
-
The places where God has called them to go. We're
-
not We're not the easiest places.
-
Man who mature the defounder her shoe for the defund.
-
Jerusalem was where Jesus was tried and executed.
-
Yes, yes, sis year sus babe be big, be poor
-
her actually based sea that the de funk.
-
The place in Judia rejected his ministry.
-
The founders uh that she uh yes, yes for in
-
that tag didn't.
-
And if you study the history, the Jews will not
-
associate themselves with some meritans.
-
No like she at least your tyrant down simple easy
-
rent her guancy.
-
You can go and study about it because they consider
-
them as like half because they're intermarried with foreigners that
-
you have much honeymoon tolerant. So we're not called to
-
be comfortable.
-
Woman paid diete.
-
She even Christ came as a suffering king, suffering Messiah.
-
See what happened sunlight That sounds highed like she waited
-
a woman like she uh that she paid more.
-
Now let's look at the deeper into this X eight one.
-
Okay, like she concerned, like she eating.
-
Can you just go back to the slide for X
-
one again. Okay, if you look at this X eight
-
one right, the word cast scattered, they were all scattered.
-
They take a bad and and you kind of that
-
in you if I mean kind of scattered.
-
It's not a very interesting fact about this word scattered.
-
You take a fun sand and that just to you
-
your shooting.
-
There are more than one occurrence of these words scattered,
-
but they have different meanings. Try to take a fun
-
sand and your If you're familiar with the story of
-
the Tower of Baby.
-
Ruin, you kind of a barb?
-
Who should have the Lord commanded that they should be
-
food for multiplier and feel the earth?
-
You hammad like you just to.
-
The P and D. But what did the people say,
-
because she's let us build us have a tower? That
-
she ad? How how the lets me be scattered?
-
How how are like to pay fun sand? They were
-
going against God's command? Much she may pai that's a
-
e and so the lord confused the language. You like
-
she around harman y t shall like you fun sand harmon.
-
So they were scattered harammand paid fernand. So that's one
-
form of scattering. Sigar eager. Now let's look at a
-
difference in the sketching in this verse. That's easier than ink.
-
How can you to fin sanda is the word that
-
was used is dye spiro take a bit younger die Spiro.
-
It's a combination of two wards, which is too scattered
-
and to.
-
Sow Jus And.
-
She just fan sand her bottom.
-
Did you see that? You come down?
-
Man?
-
God is good? And how he gave the promise of
-
the Holy Spirit.
-
Shlling the you scattered them for a purpose, which is
-
to sow the gospel of Jesus Christ to the world
-
around Harmon that she sand brought out on the t frond.
-
How around Harmon Gola she bought on.
-
So friends, we are not called to remain in Jerusalem.
-
So no woman push paid why.
-
Some people tell me the scripture says the apostles remained there.
-
Your children do it, so I should. But the also
-
end because then you're yesuit, your high seal just said
-
they will go back to Jerusalem a high way. Wait
-
should spaced.
-
Okay, let's go be further. Can now let's continue reading
-
from egg chapter eight, and let's read down until verse
-
verse eight. Okay, So now let me read from first
-
one again. So now so was consenting to his death.
-
At the time a great persecution arose against the church,
-
which is a Jerusalem. And they were all scattered throughout
-
the region of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles and
-
development carried Stephen to his burial. This was Stephen the martyr,
-
and made great lamentation over him. As for Saul, he
-
made heaven of the church, entering every house and dragging
-
off men and women, committing them to prison.
-
She had pay Hi to wait that be poor through

-
to your teen genderan basity fan maisana the city anticipation
-
in down nigarette wait Shang Darko, south Lata nand and
-
what's for.
-
Therefore, those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the word.
-
Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria and
-
preached Christ to them, and the and the multitudes. You
-
want to call here that the things spoken by Philip,
-
hearing and seeing the miracles which he did for unclean spirits,
-
crying with a loud voice came off out of many
-
who were possessed, and many who were paralyzed and lame
-
were healed. And there was great joy in that city.
-
Nation sander one Girtu Tronda Felich, Shan Juan Ti to

-
die your seed love.
-
So what did Philip do in Samaria? He simply preached Jesus.
-
Many I told the shaman how to say that you
-
furnished on years.
-
So and wherever Jesus is preached, they will.
-
Be joy yees furnished nai your seeder.
-
So remember when you go for a mission strip like Eager,
-
you're going there to encourage the people, the leaders there.
-
This is not being there that she not dan to
-
put on the link show your presence really brings joy
-
to them. Neither they like she around Harman. You know
-
how we know they will prepare the best meal for you.
-
Weight that she turned the gainy to it.
-
How that.
-
To be, how that Tan's hands like too.
-
That is how much your presence brings joy to.
-
Them, like you run needed hometel and round.
-
And at the same time you also will be blessed.
-
Pay amen amen. So let's look further into this life
-
of Philip.
-
Now, Maa, she can't I can't fail.
-
I'm going to skip all the way to verse twenty six.
-
She kind of.
-
And I'm going to give you three quick points in
-
your clothes, she finished verse twenty six. Is Now the
-
Angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, arise and
-
go toward the south along the road which goes down
-
from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is desert. So he arose
-
and went and behold a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch
-
of great authority under Candide, the Queen of the Ethiopians,
-
who had charge of all her treasury and had come
-
to Jerusalem to worship, was returning and sitting in his chariot.
-
He was reading Isaiah the Prophet.
-
Now man lie to asolute your fail She like Shang
-
Nandong yellow Salon Shaikang fairly, but now you I t
-
up bar run uh see duch And the Titian said,
-
I t upang Gandai the show quote Shang yellow Salon by.
-
Isaya the show first nine. Then the spirit said to Philip,
-
go near and overtake this.
-
Chariot, selling you to it. Feli here gonna stop there
-
for a while. That's at So to give you a context,
-
kinny beating goes.
-
Philip ends up in Samaria. He preached, and multitudes were saved,
-
feelin friend, Honduran the bay.
-
Just so, just so.
-
Now the Holy Spirit shocks him to go down towards
-
this road that leads to.
-
Gather Rahana selling dialing, feeling a shanganga the tiger. Uh. Look,
-
so let's look at the math for a whi. And
-
she can't juice them in the middle, you know. And
-
he goes up to Samaria. How do you shoot out
-
somebody to come back all the way down? You shout
-
out like down south, Jean bootle.
-
Friends, he was inshocked by the Holy Spirit to leave
-
from Samaria and go into a place called the desert.
-
He Yoman has failing and has insert shining like she's
-
dialing like she shann So that was like a kuanya
-
the loop, or some versions will say the desert road
-
jud Kuan yep.
-
The question is are we willing to be obedient to
-
the Holy Spirit.
-
Because won't you juiced a warman.
-
Like she shouldn't even when times it doesn't make sense.
-
Jus her male male male that ship. Because Philip was
-
in Samaria and maultitudes were being saved the faise in theoler.
-
And the Holy Spirit asked him to go into a
-
desert road.
-
Sinding like she's tying ta kwang ye.
-
I'm sure, Philip, you don't know where he was going,
-
who he was meeting or chancing.
-
The pouts say.
-
But he went to the desert road to meet one person,
-
kangy igorant one person He opened you just to take
-
a titian and if you read it, you know a
-
common sense, you'll say, what a terrible idea, rony meo dim.
-
But God has his wisdom and his waist. So many
-
of us are field with the Holy spirit. The questions
-
are we led by the spirit.
-
She pays sending a chung man because tiling and when
-
you are let, will you obey? She paid tying how
-
how you should.
-
For So that's my first point, simple obedience.
-
The just than the certain full.
-
He left from a place of preaching too many, just
-
to preach to one.
-
And found that she leave she way iagorant like she fink.
-
Doesn't that remind us about the heart of God? From
-
the you know the parable of the lordship?
-
No suposi she run teasing that.
-
A big you know that God will leave the ninety
-
nine to go after that one.
-
Jueses and Na's somewhere that she kind of chose to
-
Coopers and me.
-
And when one receives Christ, the whole of heaven rejoices.
-
Some eageranized the And.
-
If you've ever felt left out or abandoned, I want
-
you to read this again. Now work just just a
-
long Lord she had to take because you're not forgotten.
-
God is really going after you and me like you
-
to a straight woman. The second p the three verse
-
nine says, the Lord is not slack concerning his promise.
-
No sound counts likeness, but it's long suffering towards us,
-
not willing that any should perish, but all should come
-
to repentance. Second Peter, three.
-
Day, Peter whole, shoot this sunds down, Judy, you show
-
down and say like she fun sister, he had a y.
-
She now your share? Jedd Uh your saranswer Jeddaker she
-
woman because sooner had around and go like she, I'm
-
the red nine. So when we're obedient to him, the
-
lower users, Now when we had show, how do young women?
-
I read this story. It's very interesting because Philip was
-
chasing a chariot.
-
Well, jendife, she quiet the junai. He had a three
-
straight march.
-
Have you tried chasing a chariot before March. Yeah, okay,
-
let's read on her. Okay verse three nine. So then
-
as we said, the Philip go near and over take
-
this sherier. Let's go on. So Philip ran to him
-
and heard him reading the perfect Isaiah, and said, do
-
you understand what you are reading? Now? Yomanad to.
-
Nat lad si isayah mean by And he said, how
-
can I unless someone guides me? And he asked Philip
-
to come up and sit with him.
-
Place in the scripture which he read was this, he
-
was led as a sheep to the slaughter, and as
-
a land before is Shiva is silent. So he opened
-
not his mouth in his humiliation. His justice was taken away?
-
And who will declare his generation? For his life is
-
taken from the earth.
-
Mean byner you saying faily sanching you sha yung young
-
gadha wushanbe the shirt.
-
Panta. So the you know, answered Philip, and said, I
-
ask you of whom does the prophet say this? Of
-
himself or some other men? Then Philip opened his mouth,
-
and beginning at this scripture, what did he do? He
-
preached Jesus to him shin dinner the fad and my
-
second point for today is opportunities the way divine opportunities.
-
Because Philip was obedient to the instruction of the Holy
-
Spirit in wait for the dialing, the Lord would have
-
opened a divine opportunity for him to share to preach Jesus.
-
She run way to finish.
-
What did he do?
-
He was running next to the chariot dog match power.
-
And it was common in those days that people read
-
out loud, thanks, hold har much so you do me young,
-
you do so lung functions. These days we re quietly
-
sit down, just a more door. In those days they
-
read out there read out loud because how much lang
-
and so Philip heard she fair little link. And while
-
he's running he's talking to this it opened you know
-
that power had the titans.
-
So he asked you a simple question, do you understand
-
and what you need?
-
Mean by man?
-
And of course with a simple question that you're not
-
invited him onto the chariot now in.
-
One tight and your Yet, when we are.
-
Obedient to the leading of the Holy Spirit, the Lord
-
will give you divine opportunities.
-
Now man, that you shouldn't for the tally had so sidity.
-
Wait, there is a difference between knowing and understanding, yo,
-
not that I mean is not her t was happy
-
that that's why Philip as him. Do you understand?
-
So have you want handy mean bad man?
-
Because he may ready, but you don't understand what is
-
the portion in perfect they're talking about?
-
Now, don't have to put it out the best or
-
more like? Who was he talking about?
-
Under now?
-
This?
-
Just say so knowledge is good, understanding is better. None
-
you mean? But you're selling right? And I thought about
-
it in those days right they don't have Google or
-
chat or Google, so I imagine Philip was very well prepared.
-
So do you it happens it is a face hung
-
your tongue to you.
-
In fact, I should say, we are filled with the
-
Holy Spirit to be a witness.

really study Iticine.

-
opportunity to share the Gospel is presented before you, I
-
pray that you will take it in.

See where you friend?
-
Amen? Amen, let's continue reading for a few more verses,
-
even if we are about to close undert verse thirty
-
sixty is now as they went down the road, they
-
came to some water, and the unit said, see here
-
is water, what hinders me from being baptized? Then Philip said,
-
if you believe with all your heart you mean And
-
he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is
-
the son of God. So he commanded the chair to
-
stand still, and both Philip and the eunuch went down
-
into the water, and he baptized him.
-
A real sannalanchin da Yoshi. The defunct hidien't show kind
-
of straight? Was so serious? Fund I know Felis was

Supernatural outcome, how rand when we are obeying to him,

-
the divine opportunity open before us, nay, wait her. There
-
will be supernatural outcome Niew around the I pray it
-
not just in your ministry, but also in your personal life.
-
A too, a too, A circon from a certainty the
-
current fund.
-
So here in the moment when Philip preaches to him,
-
he immediately receives salvation.
-
Fain you take a tighten.
-
Salvation is for those who will believe in their heart
-
and confess with their mouth.
-
Singingly chunthing as a young call that she stened the shaving.
-
That's actually the condition to be saved.
-
Now just and just smalized. Believe in your heart, so
-
chancing Jesus Christ, Lord, yes, confessed with your mouth that
-
she just sheten.
-
So Philip asked him, and he immediately said, I believe
-
that Jesus Christ is the son of God.
-
Now you sounds show chancing yes, Uh send the earth.
-
Both the belief and the confession.
-
Happened, chancing high Strengthen.
-
You know, I really believe that our salvation is supernatural.
-
Child's a random because it's it's not natural that our
-
lives would turn around one hundred eighty.
-
Degrees when she did run around. It's me do the
-
guy based.
-
It is really by the grace and mercy of God
-
that transformed us sooner.
-
Like she's interested the Indian had.
-
And me in the days. I don't even imagine where
-
I would be if not for his grace and mercy
-
in my life interest the Indian. But praise be to God,
-
you and I we have salvation in Christ, Joe and man,
-
let's give him praise. Hallelujah, hallelujah. So if you obey,
-
there will be a supernatural outcome.
-
Like how how the uh she soon? For how you
-
didn't just stop at the salvation, Joly maintained.
-
Philip himself also experienced a supernatural event fainly sooner y
-
like she think chance how to and sh let's read it.
-
It says in verse thy night now when they came
-
out of the water, the spirit of the Lord caught
-
Philip away, so that the you not saw him no more,
-
and he went on his way rejoicing. But Philip was
-
found at Xotus and passing to he preaches all the cities.
-
Still he came to Ciceria.
-
No, you shout sounded like Tyler Joe when adult look
-
hold on you're Andi, Yeah, sure you didn't. Piana found
-
that girl trying Shane trying for into the Kaisalia.
-
Anybody want to try to explain what happened to Philip? Yeah, yeah,
-
I guess the same teleported has So you don't huh, Johnny.
-
Not not many events in the Bible you will find
-
that this some event that this happened, that is certain fashion.
-
I think another incident was when the disciples on the board.
-
This is a link like a fashion a.
-
Straight Jesus got on the board and on the other side.
-
Oh no, yes, think that. But not many instances at
-
the way you find this happened syndicate. He really experienced
-
American enough fairly just I wonder what went to his mind.
-
That is how the tonal limits was young additional film
-
never stopped soon had to even that teams even as
-
he was founding ess how do you think, uh yeah,
-
so totally yeah. He continued to preach all the way
-
up to Ciceria. How do you she li she young
-
into I will say she preshed to all the cities,
-
same thing hard that she turned man. That is why
-
Philip was given the title the Evangelist. So innovation of
-
feline and has your strength and Jewish and has.
-
He never stopped preaching. Jesus finished so so I encourage us.
-
Don't remain comfortable where you are.
-
Just so for the little tiny the the trunk tie.
-
If you are young and a lot of energy and
-
you you're gonna need her your I encourage you to

Like she patient, how how the ship?
-
And I just want to say that when we're obedient
-
to the Lord, he will give you divine opportunities.
-
She soon how you need how to render? Share a way.
-
I remember one time when I was driving my car
-
with my Colleen next to me.
-
You don't know what you die yesh maaraw or the
-
toms pumping.
-
And next to us was the church we crossed the
-
hotel your child away and he asked me, what does
-
the cross mean?
-
Do you want?
-
What system?

Is it?
-
What an opportunity? Friends? I shared to him about the
-
meaning of the cross in my broken cantoness your land. Yeah,
-
it's like, I don't know what I said that you.
-
So I just I just played my heart lot. I
-
can't share what I can now what you will do
-

-
deep and quantum finished all of us have done wrong.
-
Just your fansic.

Just so many thought three Jesus came to die for us. Yes,

-
Because how your man go see way lie down in
-
the We're not not.
-
Just sharing here but also in ju their Samaria and
-
to the ends of the earth. That you're tired, remember
-
the Holy Spirit has been given to us. We can
-
be a witness for him. A woman that's sometimes we
-
think of the Holy Spirit just for us to do
-
our our work, our business, our you know, our studies. Woman.
-
So that she found the woman that you call him
-
the tuns.
-
It's more than that. Consoner should be the count to
-
be a witness for him. Remember that the Holy Spirit
-
is not just a power and presence. He is a
-
person shaken. So we want to draw near and draw
-

is your personal story that no one can argue about.
-
You would say, need the current courses and mayor and
-

-
It's that close from us to us. From Romans chapter ten,
-
verse fourteen to fifteen, down like she do she Romans ten,
-
fourteen to fifteen, No ma it, How then shall they hear?
-
Shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?
-
And how shall they believe in Him of whom they
-

-
And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As
-
it is written? How beautiful are the.
-
Feet of those who preach the Gospel of peace, who

All I'm trying to say is that someone had to
-
go in order for the gospel to we preached.

-
And she lied to tan you Ja.
-
I even still remember bringing one of my coursework to
-
the missions. What the difference?
-
You're like? Like?
-
She dies, I don't recommend it? What the support? I
-
didn't have a choice because I had the dateline. I
-
couldn't finish it because what in the world you take
-
that one? And I went by faith and sa God,
-
I'm giving you my best. You will help me power
-
to bound the war. So at night while people rested,
-
I just couldn't finished it and submitted.
-
Your daughter, shou see the one you udn't long story short,
-
I std well to the high House compank, but just
-
to say that there is a price to pay, because
-
that you said, Nally, your can I say, this is the.
-
Reason why we have the gospel today is because someone
-
paid the price.
-
The take of food, and that your food she take
-

We don't ever want to take it for.
-
That's just in town.
-
So close with this one simple story. So I'm not
-
sure how many of you have heard of this name
-
called Andrew brother and ring Tagger. And he has a
-
title given to him as Gods Smuggler tag a.
-
Total.
-
I really love this story. You know, I did a
-
good ship. So he heard God's called along station I got.
-
He got called to go into the Christian communities in
-
the communist country.
-
You like, show down the communience countries gone time down,
-
let's see God.
-
Yeah? Like, and they needed bibles?
-
How much sending that?
-
So he prayed God for every Bible I can lay
-
my hand on, I'll bring it to this children here
-
in this country.
-
Now sounds the maid. Yeah for every open door you
-
give me our god like ship.
-
So he made his smuggling trip. How do you do yougo, Levia?
-

-
She brought tracks and bibles? How do you put on
-

-
Many wants you to stop getting the car, Johnny, inspect
-

So he prayed the prayer that's not called the prayer
-
of God's smuggler. How do you like? You like?
