  1. You're listening to a message to go from ex Church.

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

  3. I was invited to specific engagement speaking engagement. Now, I

  4. don't find that nerve racking as what I used to

  5. be two years ago, and I just stepped into this

  6. role every speaking engagement. Back then, it was like, Wow,

  7. it's such a joy to be considered. But it's also

  8. such a stressful occasion because sometimes you just wonder what

  9. do I have to say or do I have to

  10. share in order to captivate your attention in order to

  11. direct you to the path of your savior, Jesus Christ. Now,

  12. And the same way how I when I just started

  13. excact the morning and started leading this plan. Even being

  14. here on this whole pit, just looking at all your faces,

  15. sometimes the reaction that I get back it really doesn't

  16. encourage me that much. LA right, let me just put

  17. it away. That's my own self. I'm struggling in my

  18. own heart, in my own spirit. Maybe it's maybe you're

  19. really pondering me, really thinking, thinking, But in my own mind,

  20. I'm looking at you and I'm making a judgment. So

  21. sometimes my own mind, my own spirit, my own heart

  22. enables me to think in a way that is not

  23. of the Lord, and I just want to share you that.

  24. But recently, as of late, I started to get a

  25. little bit used to it, you know, started to get

  26. used to the book pits, to get used to moving,

  27. so to get used to talking conversing. Some people even

  28. came up to me and say, hey, you're English improved.

  29. Thank you, thank you so much for telling me that

  30. I improve in my English. I don't get it often

  31. with my wife, so it's good to get it outside

  32. of the house. Because my wife, yeah, yeah, oh dear,

  33. oh dear, she was the one. She was the one.

  34. She was the one, but not the one who said

  35. my English improve. Okay, so uh you, thank you, thank you,

  36. my lovely wife. No cat will ever replace you in

  37. the name of Jesus. Uh course, because recently she said

  38. Stuggles has taken over her life, her position in my heart.

  39. Not true, not true. I will kick her out in

  40. a moment, in a second. It's my slides. Really, I'm

  41. stalling long enough ready? Uh what's going on? Can I

  42. have the first slide up? Not yet? How long? How

  43. long do you need because it's quite important? One second,

  44. two second, one minute, two minutes. Not his fault because

  45. I changed a little bit of slides. Anyways, let's just

  46. not brought about that. Just listen to me, let me,

  47. let me give you a visual. I was invited to

  48. speak at Wesley Metadist banda Coldfields International School. Okay, Wesley

  49. Metadist col Fields. If you don't know where that is,

  50. that is up north, somewhere north of Selango and closer

  51. to Caller Salango. In fact, the road that is leading

  52. to this school is called jas So when I when

  53. I was on the road, I'm like am I And

  54. it makes sense because it took almost one and a

  55. half hours for me to get to that location. So

  56. as you may have maybe guessed, my message is about timing, okay,

  57. my message about timing, and it's about God's timing. Now,

  58. I thought that this was an artist impression. Next time,

  59. thank you, thank you so much. I thought this was

  60. an artist impression. Actually it's not. It's a cat rendering. Okay,

  61. so uh, you know you get the joke. Cat You

  62. know I like cats. So uh. Wesley Medaday School was

  63. the school that was invited to by this lovely lady

  64. called teacher Christina. She doesn't really speak much English. She

  65. speaks a lot of Mandarin. So can you imagine the

  66. conversation that goes between me and her, now, Neil Young,

  67. it took a Wesley Funyang two yes so the word

  68. then I tell her yes, well, Krai. In fact, I

  69. wasn't even supposed to be the one preaching on the day.

  70. I was supposed to go there to do a music workshop. Now,

  71. the worship workshop was divided into two parts, first part vocal,

  72. second part instrument. So I was like, okay, I'm going

  73. to get a team. So I go to my lovely

  74. lovely college and said, hey, would you like to come

  75. and do a vocal training? And this person told me yes,

  76. I would love to, only to find out that she's

  77. in Vietnam now, but I just don't. So I was

  78. in this place where I was less stranded. I'm like, okay,

  79. and am I supposed to go do this alone and

  80. do a vocal training which I wasn't prepared for. So

  81. I was already feeling a little bit nervously okay, because

  82. I don't know why offer. Honestly, Albert can sing so

  83. much better than me. Rogers for some reading when worship today,

  84. What a wonderful voice but for me, I put I

  85. put the frogs to sleep. But it's a bit a

  86. bit challenging to do that. But instrument okay, instruan okay,

  87. So I was started to do that. I was, I

  88. was about to prepare. It was Wednesday day, Tuesday night.

  89. The chapel was on Thursday. The session was on Thursday,

  90. and teacher Christina reached out to me and said, hey,

  91. passa Dan, we would like you to speak as well.

  92. I'm like, what wait your engagements on? When is it Thursday?

  93. Tuesday night? Can you speak? Okay, I'm a really speaking right. No, no, no,

  94. we want you to speak to two hundred of our

  95. students secondary students. I'm like, oh no, you're telling me

  96. on Tuesday night, on Thursday morning, I have to speak

  97. and you are giving me a topic that I have

  98. to prepare for nothing on my heart, but to prepare

  99. according to the topic. Thankfully, it was Easter, so I

  100. had to prepare something along those lines. So I preached.

  101. I prepared my heart out. You know, I like any

  102. engagement services, I try my best to give my best

  103. to all of you. So even today, it's really my best,

  104. Like okay, so if it's not good enough, looked at

  105. the Lord. Okay, so uh I was in his place

  106. of just and by the way, the person that was

  107. supposed to preach his name was also Pasaden. He went

  108. down with our influenceer sold in order to replace Pasaden.

  109. They found another faster than English Pasaden. So I took

  110. up the offer. I don't know why I got. I

  111. bounced it over with Cane and kind told me it

  112. was it's a blessing to be a blessing and just

  113. just give unless you are telling me that you can't.

  114. You know when your boss tells you that and then

  115. you go like can can bully? So I prepared, but

  116. you know, the nerves never really left. The nurse areay

  117. left and in fact, the nerves gotten even more compounded

  118. because of the things I had to do. Just last

  119. week I was rushing a survey for the recent Huddle

  120. survey that we did youth. Can we received such a

  121. just a share? If you almost seventy percent of our

  122. young people say that they want to be discipled. I

  123. think that deserves a praise to our Lord Jesus Christ,

  124. that our young people are in a place that they

  125. want to be discipled. So, fellow friends and family over here.

  126. If you're not yet in a discipleshit relationship, please consider

  127. because it's actually to me. I make it very clear.

  128. It's a mandate. If you want to follow Jesus Christ,

  129. you have to be disciple. But topic for another day, Okay.

  130. So the slight before that says God's timing, not my own,

  131. and the subtitle that says being sensitive to God's voice.

  132. So I was driving up to Wesley Metaday's. The nurse

  133. was there and questions were being asked, what if they

  134. don't listen to me? Now, to further compound my nurves,

  135. the teacher had to come out to me and say, actually,

  136. and by the way, the two hundred students that we have,

  137. ninety percent of them don't care about chapel. In fact,

  138. they despise chapel. They're just there to be there because

  139. it's a rule. And when I got there, I understood

  140. because they were just not borded you were doing worship.

  141. They were just talking to their friends ninety percent. And

  142. I don't blame them because they're not believers. They don't

  143. understand who Jesus is. And that's where I should be

  144. used to that right, I should be used to engaging

  145. with non believers and bringing the gospel to them. But

  146. I don't know why. When this time around, when I

  147. was on my own, the weather was gloomy, it was

  148. raining in the morning. It was such a long gam

  149. and I was just driving on myself, and I started

  150. having thoughts in my mind. Okay, thoughts in my mind,

  151. Thoughts like this, what if they don't listen to me?

  152. Parents in this house, I think there's your struggle sometimes, right,

  153. you can say how much you want to say to

  154. your kid, but the thought may be still there. What

  155. if they don't listen to me? I can tell them all,

  156. what if they don't listen to me? I would say,

  157. I was smacking like but he always says that la.

  158. He always tried to appear tought, but actually you know,

  159. behind the scenes, he's like, oh, Eli, yeah, So what

  160. if they don't listen to me? What if I don't

  161. manage to capture that attention? You know, young people, young

  162. people in this house. Sometimes you may think that I

  163. like to do this. I like to speak to you

  164. sometimes I do. I do, I really do. But I

  165. like to speak to people who engage with me. I

  166. don't like to speak to people who just when I

  167. speak you act like I say, it's the most boring

  168. thing in the whole world. It gets it gets to

  169. the speakers. Sometimes it gets to us, but again it

  170. is not about us. And I had to I had

  171. to come to a place of surrender. But I was

  172. feeling the nerves. I was alone. Normally I have my

  173. wife with me, so I get to bounce off with her.

  174. At this time, I didn't have her because she was

  175. working and I was just in this place of I

  176. would even say despair because I was like, yo, I

  177. don't think I have anything to offer, dah la. I

  178. already prepare last minute, right. So I was thinking, thinking, thinking,

  179. and it just got to me. It just got to me.

  180. I was so discourage next, like like, it's gonna take

  181. you around my journey. Okay. So as I was looking

  182. to my ways, as you can see that I was

  183. arriving at seven forty nine in one point one km away,

  184. I was just on this journey and I just looked

  185. to my ways to check how long left and where

  186. to go. And I don't know why. When I looked

  187. at my ways, the first thing I noticed was the

  188. thing that I circled on the top left, and of

  189. course for some of you who know your compass, it

  190. represents what northwest right. But when I saw n W,

  191. I didn't read it as northwest right. I read it

  192. as north way. Okay, I read it as north way.

  193. So I was so discouraged. I was so discouraged. And

  194. when I looked to the ways and the first thing

  195. I saw was NW, something sparked in my heart. Something

  196. sparked in my heart. If you have your Bibles, can

  197. turn to Hebrews twelve US one to two. We all

  198. love this scripture, and he says this, therefore we also

  199. since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses.

  200. But I kind of just preached this a while ago.

  201. Oh by the way, he also sends his regards. He

  202. wants to be here, but due to the circum circumstances,

  203. he can't be here. He can't walk. He can't walk,

  204. So keep him in your prayers. He says, lay aside

  205. every weight and the scene we're so easily and stances.

  206. There was a way there was a weight on my shoulder.

  207. There was a sin that was coming in that was

  208. ensnaring me. The treap of the enemy. It was starting

  209. to grip me. That's always driving as I always driving,

  210. and for some of you, my family member, you know

  211. that my car has a very high pitch sound. Now

  212. I don't know what's going on, but it was so

  213. annoying the whole time, and I realized it was econ,

  214. So I had to drive with a econ. It was hot,

  215. it was hot, it was coming, it was grabbing me.

  216. And he says, let us run with endurance the race

  217. that is set before us, looking at the geese, the

  218. auto finisher of our faith for the joy that was

  219. set before him, and dealed the cross, despising the shame,

  220. and set down the right hand of the throne of God. Wow, North,

  221. way North, What is your north? Friends today, in every

  222. season of your life, in everything that you're doing, in

  223. every circumstances, in every challenge, what is your north? Proverbs

  224. four twenty five to twenty seven. Continue to encourage me,

  225. and he says, let your eyes look straight ahead. As

  226. I was driving, it was straight ahead, straight right in

  227. front of me. That's where the school was. But not

  228. before you need to turn left and turn right. But

  229. you have to keep you have to keep on the path.

  230. And twenty five verse twenty five R. Proverbs four says

  231. this let your eyes look straight ahead, your eyelids look

  232. right before you ponder the path of your feet, and

  233. let your ways we established. Do not turn to the

  234. right or to the left. Remove your foot from evil.

  235. Now these thoughts were fast string. It was continuing to

  236. really get to me, get to me. Now, just mindure

  237. this happened in that short span about two km. It

  238. just hit me. The emotions flooded, and I just started

  239. to get so anxious. And when I look to the

  240. to the ways, it's so funny, right, it looked the ways,

  241. the way of the Lord encouraged me, encourage me the

  242. north way? What is your north way? Friends? Next light please? Now,

  243. if I have a more creative title, this would be it.

  244. It says, don't rush the bush again when I you

  245. look at your neighbor and say, don't rush the bush.

  246. Don't rush the bush. All right, So let me give

  247. you some context. We are obviously talking about the burning bush.

  248. Then Moses encountered and some contexts about Moses. Moses grew

  249. up in all the ways of Egypt's knowledge. Okay, he

  250. was adopted into the family through the daughter of Pharaoh,

  251. and he was entitled to all the wisdom or the

  252. richest or the glory of Egypt, right because the daughter

  253. loved him, loved him so much, Pharaoh's daughter, and he

  254. was there. He was there until he was about forty

  255. and perhaps even the next in line to take over

  256. the throne. Our long story shot. You notice, at the

  257. age of forty, he came across a Hebrew and the

  258. Egyptian and they were fighting. And then the Egyptian was

  259. looking down on the Hebrew. He was bullying the Hebrew

  260. in mis com paraphrase Hea, and Moses got so angry

  261. and in his anger, in his own sense of judgment,

  262. in his own sense of judgment, without a clear instruction

  263. from the Lord. Now read it, because in Exodus you'll

  264. read it. Read it that that actually Moses did not

  265. receive a clear command from the Lord kill the Egyptian,

  266. set my people free. Not yet. In fact, some may

  267. argue that, hey, Moses is not in the wrong, Why

  268. because the then comments written yet so therefore that share

  269. not murder is not in effect. Hello, the first murder

  270. in the Bible was already committed, the brothers Able and Kine.

  271. And when Kane murdered Able, and God asked Kane, what

  272. did you just do? Kane said, am I my brother's keeper.

  273. And as a result, Kane was sent out of the garden.

  274. He was sent out, and he was in a place

  275. where he he he there was a punishment there was

  276. upon him. The blessing was there, was apposed to be

  277. on him, was no longer there. And the failed the

  278. Lord was no longer on him. So Moses, in his

  279. own right and in his own wisdom and knowledge, he

  280. should have already known this. So when he killed the

  281. Egyptian in cold blood, it was due to his own anger.

  282. It wasn't something that the Lord actually commanded of Moses

  283. to do, all right, So when Moses executed his judgment,

  284. that led to him fleeing. And you know where he

  285. fled to, right, He fled to a place called Median Uh,

  286. and he met with the priest of Median. Priest of Median,

  287. which is Rual. Some of you may know him as Jetro,

  288. two names, but it's the same person. He's the same person,

  289. but we call him Jetro most all the time. And

  290. had a son, had a son with Zippora, which is

  291. which he named Girlsham, Girlsham. Some context, okay, some of you,

  292. if you want to know more, read read the book

  293. and you'll know more about Moses' early life. And the

  294. word girlsham, which is his son, also means exile. You'll

  295. know that he named his son exile. That's how he felt.

  296. Sometimes when you name your son and name things that

  297. you really in your life, it actually reflects what you

  298. have went through. Right, you experience the joy of the

  299. Lord in your in your in your life. Sometimes you

  300. name your son or kid something to do with joy.

  301. I don't know something that you have went through, something

  302. that is personal to you. It's definitely something that you

  303. don't just wake up one morning and say, okay, maybe

  304. I can call you Bob. There must be some thought

  305. that goes into naming of your child, right, parents in

  306. this house, I hope you can resonate with me. Right,

  307. it's not just simply even if the simply one like

  308. oh I like butterflies, so I name him, there is

  309. some taught Nay, of course, you like Moses name his

  310. son exile. That's what he felt. He felt exiled, He

  311. felt maybe even treated unfairly because in his own mind

  312. he thought, hey, I'm doing this for the Lord. You

  313. are taking advantage against your people, God, your people, and

  314. I'm fighting for you. But let let's make this clear.

  315. He did not receive any action from the Lord, but

  316. he took it into his own judgment. And after forty years,

  317. can you imagine this, Moses, forty years. The Bible does

  318. not say, and God spoke to him in the first year,

  319. third year, fifth year. No, the Bible does not say that.

  320. The Bible says after forty years, right after forty years.

  321. And we know this in the Book of X. If

  322. you just read Exodus, we won't notice. We won't notice

  323. because it's not written in Exodus, but it's written in X.

  324. Next line forty years, seven thirty. You notice seven thirty,

  325. when forty years had passed and the Angel of the

  326. Lord appeared to him in the flame of fire, in

  327. the bush, in the wilderness in Mount Sinai. Forty years,

  328. forty years of silence, forty years of no directions of

  329. you in this room may feel that way that God

  330. has not spoken to you. And when you start to question, yeah,

  331. I am willing to do it in your timing, Lord,

  332. But Lord, you need to speak, You need to let

  333. me know some You're at a crossroad, you're looking for

  334. a job, you're in a place where you need to

  335. make an important decision in your life. But yet you

  336. do not hear from the Lord. You don't hear from

  337. the Lord. And perhaps Moses was in that situation that circumstances.

  338. For forty years, God has not spoken next light, Please

  339. don't rush the bush. But when the bush appears to you,

  340. I pray you know what to do to get into

  341. the bush. Next light, getting into the bush Exodus Tree one.

  342. If you have your Bible, please speap to it. One

  343. day Moses was tending the flock of his father in

  344. law Jetro the priests or medi and he led the

  345. flock far into the wilderness and came in the Sinai,

  346. the mountain of God, and the Angel of the Lord

  347. appeared to him in a flame of fire from the

  348. midst of a bush. So he looked and behold the

  349. bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed.

  350. Then Moses said, I will now turn aside and see

  351. this great site. Why the bush does not burn. So

  352. when the Lord saw that, he turned aside to look,

  353. God caught him from the midst of the bush and

  354. said Moses, Moses, and he said, here I am next

  355. thing you can keep on this slide don't move on

  356. until I give you an instruction to move on. I

  357. was at a recent prayer rally. Sow how many of

  358. you were at pray recently? Pr four Y encourage you

  359. the next time we have and combined event like that,

  360. come come and pray because you know, just to share

  361. with you. Even though I'm a pastor of this church,

  362. there are times in which I do feel tired. Right,

  363. there are times in which I do feel the tragic.

  364. But I had I was convicted because when it comes

  365. to pick a ball, I don't get tired or the

  366. tragic eleven ten o'clock or so I go, but you're not,

  367. am PM, I'll go, I'll go. So I was convicted.

  368. You know, when it comes to God? Why why when

  369. it comes to pick a ball? Can when it comes

  370. to God cannot? Okay, fine, fine, fine, pray, let's go.

  371. Let's go. Here's the LaunchU turne over there, Yes, let's

  372. go in the midst of everyone. Perhaps I was dragging

  373. my feet a little bit. But it's about getting there.

  374. It's about getting there. It's not about how you start,

  375. it's about how you finish. So I got to pray.

  376. I got to pray. My wife, I said at the back,

  377. because I was feeling a bit down right before that

  378. we were praying for our youth. I was sharing from

  379. my personal quiet time about how David was chosen, but

  380. how David was chosen despite uh, you know, being the one,

  381. the last choice, the last choice, even not even a choice.

  382. He was actually at the back and the father did

  383. not even offer him when Samuel came. It was the

  384. last dress. So I was, I was encouraging. I was

  385. in a place where I was I was supposed to

  386. be a pastor. I was supposed to encourage. But yet

  387. deep down in my heart, I also kind of resonated

  388. that that's why it's my quiet time because I knew

  389. also maybe I'm the eight choice on nine choice. Maybe

  390. I'm not even a choice. But the only reason why

  391. perhaps I'm operating under the annoi day of the Lord,

  392. is because I said, yes, So it's not about how

  393. much choice you are, it's not about who you are.

  394. But I was feeling a strain down. So you may

  395. you may be wondering, you may be thinking they'll do

  396. pastors feel down passest feel said yeah, I was. I

  397. was very discouraged and pray and then I pastor then

  398. issued a call. I don't know if you're there. Pastor

  399. was calling forth Deafney, who is deaf and she needed

  400. to be healed, so the death needed to be healed.

  401. Deafney and uh Defney came forth and Pastor prayed, and

  402. I was just in my mind because the few weeks

  403. before Pastor preached here in this place and he was

  404. very vulnerable with all of you. In fact, it was

  405. the first time he released it. He said that he

  406. wanted to raise com under Jeff. It was something of

  407. the Lord that was not learning hard and the reason

  408. why he could not do it. You're heard from him. Okay,

  409. if you don't know the story, listen to the MDG.

  410. But he was sharing it and I was just praying.

  411. I think it was time. It was time for Malaysia

  412. to witness science and miracles. But yet in my spirit

  413. I was down. But yet I was meant to go

  414. and pray for someone. And when I was up there

  415. and the person that came to me, I tell you what,

  416. I was like, what do you need to prayer for nothing?

  417. Then why are you're up here? The call was if

  418. you need prayers of what, come to the front. I

  419. was there. I was really I was ready to prayer.

  420. I was like pushing on my side, what do you

  421. need prayer for a brother? Nothing? Okay? So can you

  422. imagine also really getting so like editated, you know, like,

  423. oh God, just just pray and normal prayer of blessing Lord.

  424. You put something on his heart. I spray it really,

  425. really regardingly, and I had to repent. I had to repent.

  426. I tell you, the repentance came in such a way

  427. that I can even explain. I can't even explain. It

  428. was an experience that I prayed that you one day

  429. go through if you have not gone through it, because

  430. it's such a sweet experience. As I was praying before him,

  431. I started hearing. And you ask my wife or any

  432. one of you who knows me, well, I don't hear.

  433. Maybe the only time I will cry is when my

  434. and my love once funeral. Maybe, but I don't hear.

  435. I was once accused of having fouls tears, crocodile tears.

  436. They said, you know, they're just trying to get into

  437. my emotions. Therefore you're trying to put crocodile in. And

  438. it was true. It was true. It was with my wife.

  439. I tried to be emotional because she was getting a

  440. bit sad at the time with my girlfriend. And then

  441. I went and take a deck of water. I put

  442. it in my eye and this little cry so that

  443. she can feel she can feel me, you know. Yeah,

  444. it was true. And she cut me. She cut me

  445. and said, you are not crying properly, like it's not

  446. fake one. So it's true. I rarely shed a tear, really,

  447. but I tell you what that moment that day, tears

  448. were just streaming down my eyes. You ask my wife.

  449. I think she was shocked with one in the world

  450. opened to this guy, because she never see me crying,

  451. even if Liverpool were to lose, so I wouldn't cry.

  452. And I was just in this place where let me

  453. just put it in explain words, let me just describe

  454. it this way. It was my burning Bush movement. Can

  455. I shure you, can I be vulneray with you. It

  456. was my burning Bush moment. I experienced God in a

  457. way that I have not experienced him before, not even

  458. the first time I accepted him to my heart. I

  459. was happy back then I was a young teen accepted

  460. him in my heart. But yet no change, no change.

  461. I think it was still the same, still being disobedient,

  462. still being dishonoring, still lasting young boy teen comments, nineteen

  463. years old, accepted Christ. Nothing changed, But this time I pray.

  464. In a moment in which I was so vulnerable, the

  465. Lord met me where I stood, and then I looked

  466. at the left and I hear definitely saying that she

  467. could hear something. Wow. I continued to cry uncontrollably. I

  468. went up to to mye with Rachelle, and I don't

  469. know if you notice, there was supposed to be like

  470. a whole row of people beside me on my left.

  471. The next time I opened my eyes, all days appeared.

  472. I thought they were raptured and I was left behind.

  473. But my wife was there, so no, no, if she

  474. was if rapture, she will be gone, she'd be gone.

  475. She'll be gone, She'll be taken up. So I was

  476. just so vulnerable. I was just so filled with so

  477. much emotions. And I tell you what, it wasn't emotions

  478. of sadness. It was happiness. And explained to my wife

  479. after the episode was over, and I just looked to

  480. her and I say, I feel so happy. I feel

  481. so happy. Something in my heart just switched on. Wow,

  482. it can happen. To a believer. Yes, yes, one day,

  483. I pray it happens over you because when you see

  484. the light, which is Jesus Christ. So that experience was real,

  485. a miracle took place. That was where I at. After

  486. the service all ended, I continued to cry. It took

  487. a while before the tears stopped and I was reflecting.

  488. I was reflecting, Lord, thank you for giving me the experience.

  489. Thank you for giving me that moment with you. And

  490. I want to share with you how real God is

  491. and about his timing because his timing is impeccable. His

  492. timing is not our timing where we feel that we

  493. need him the most. Where we go through a situation

  494. where we need God the most and we say God,

  495. please show up, and he does not show up, and

  496. you say, God, you're not real but yet, and you're

  497. in a place of maybe not even expecting that the

  498. Lord is going to move in your life. He moves,

  499. and when he moves, you shake uncontrollably. So God's timing

  500. is impeccable. But God's timing is not your timing. Do

  501. not expect God to move in your timing, because if

  502. you expect him to move in your timing, you become

  503. God and he's no longer God. So I want to

  504. share with you based on this story of the burning bush,

  505. what is the tree? Things that we can pick up

  506. next sight, please, the three things that we can pick

  507. up about how we can actually encounter this bush, Because

  508. when this bush came before Moses, there was things that

  509. he did in order to hear from the Lord. The

  510. first thing that he did was he was tending to

  511. the flock. He was tending the flow. You can see

  512. that now Moses was tending to the flock of Jatu.

  513. There are things in your life that the Lord has

  514. given to you, that has said to you, the things

  515. in this life that you have already heard very closely

  516. from the Lord. But yet sometimes we are always after

  517. this next step from the Lord when the Lord has

  518. not spoken for me. It's simple. If the Lord has

  519. not spoken, that means nothing has changed. So why are

  520. we constantly looking for what's next in your own timing

  521. and not the Lord's. And that was what was happening

  522. to me. The first step is to ten to be faithful,

  523. to be faithful to the sheep that God has given

  524. to you. If if this season is about your family,

  525. then put your family as a focus. If this season

  526. is about your job, then put your job as your focus.

  527. The Lord has not said anything, then don't allow that

  528. head hunter to be God, because some of us get

  529. hunted by the head and our heat gets hunted and

  530. chopped away. And sometimes we look to the head hunter

  531. as if they are God just because they offer two

  532. ac salary. But God didn't say move because with God

  533. and God most there's always going to be an act

  534. of surrender, there's always going to be an obedience. So

  535. if your movement does not imply you to be obedient,

  536. I don't think that it's God. If your movement is

  537. very comfortable, I don't think that is God. Now can

  538. it happen, perhaps, But you need to be very sure

  539. that you heard from the Lord, because this journey is

  540. not a journey that I can help you and make

  541. decisions for you. This journey is a journey that you

  542. make yourself, and honoring God is something that you have

  543. to do yourself your own life. So you have to

  544. make sure you're turning to the sheep, turning to the flock,

  545. and when you are tending to the flock, and mind

  546. you are forty years sir, I mean it's even for

  547. one day. If he was not in this moment, you

  548. won't go. Oh, maybe today I shall not tend to

  549. the flock. I don't think he would have experienced this

  550. bush moment. And he wouldn't even know because it's forty years.

  551. Forty years is a long time. Moses was forty when

  552. he fled from Pharaoh. He will fled, and only forty

  553. years later eighty he had this experience with the Lord.

  554. First step, you have to constantly be faithful to what

  555. God has saven to you in your life. And the

  556. second step is that when there's something that comes your way,

  557. you will have to ensure to turn. You have to

  558. ensure the turn. And Moses said, I will now turn

  559. aside and see this great psyching. Imagine. I don't know

  560. how many times in my own life that something has happened,

  561. something has occurred, and it's of the Lord. And just

  562. because my eyes was not fixated on him, I missed it.

  563. Some of words here today we have to acknowledge a

  564. God moment in your life, and go is saying, and

  565. he could come in a still small voice, my dear daughter,

  566. have you prayed today? My dear daughter, have you spoken

  567. to me today? And yet we put it aside because

  568. that million dollar deal is coming in and say, Lord,

  569. I will deal with you later. And then when the

  570. deal eventually breaks down at night, and you go like, God,

  571. why weren't you there with me? Maybe because you have

  572. not opened your ears to hear, You have not turned

  573. to the bush, and you miss the bush. Can you

  574. see that? And finally, finally, when the Lord calls you

  575. from the bush, in that quiet time, in that personal space,

  576. you have to respond. You can't just turn and go like, wow,

  577. what a beautiful bush. Wow, what a beautiful Bible. The

  578. chapters here are amazing. All right? Then the Lord calls,

  579. The Lord calls, and when the Lord calls, when the

  580. Lord calls, you have to take action. Next light will

  581. show you the treaties for you today. You have to

  582. tend to the flock, have to turn towards God, and

  583. you have to take action. Moses took action by responding here,

  584. I am Moses, Moses. Here, I am Michael, Michael. Here,

  585. I am. God is calling out to some of you

  586. today and some of you have not yet said here

  587. I am. I want to encourage you today that the

  588. Lord is a lot of second chances, and he will

  589. constantly reach out. He's constantly speaking. The Holy Spirit is

  590. always speaking. We have to respond, We have to respond.

  591. Let's see what we can learn from Moses' response. All right,

  592. next light, about who God is, his timing in his ways.

  593. Don't beat around the bush. Don't beat around bush. So

  594. now that you're at a bush, you add a bush

  595. with God. God is speaking to you. What do you

  596. do next? Some of us like to beat around the bush.

  597. Have you heard of this sentence before? He Stop beating

  598. around the bush, Libilly, get to the point. Stop like

  599. giving excuses left right, center. Stop beating around the bush.

  600. Let's go to Moses Exodus. Moses Exodus left the tree,

  601. Verse eleven. Next light says this, but Moses said to God,

  602. who am I? That I should go to Pharaoh and

  603. that I should bring the children of Israel of Egypt. Now,

  604. after forty years, finally Moses had a face to face

  605. encounter with God the burning bush, and where God given

  606. Moses the instruction to take to deliver his people out

  607. of Egypt. The first thing he said, The first thing

  608. he said was this, who am I? That I should

  609. go to Pharaoh and that I should bring the children

  610. of Israel? Egypt. You know this story right next like

  611. he says this, it is not about you, It is

  612. about God. When you hear from the Lord, the Lord

  613. tells you, Daniel, go to Wesley Methodist Church, sorry school,

  614. maybe one day will be church, but Wesley Methodist School,

  615. International School, and share share a story with them. But

  616. who am I God? Who am I? That they should

  617. listen to me? It is not about you, It is

  618. about God. And that's what I want you to catch today.

  619. God said, I will certainly be with you. Can you

  620. see that Moses's question is who am I? God's answer was,

  621. I will certainly be with you. The object of the

  622. answer was about God. The object of the question was

  623. about me. It is not about us. That's what we

  624. can learn of. Maybe Moses's lack of understanding of who

  625. God is in this season of his life, how great

  626. he was. But yet forty years. If you spend forty

  627. years approaching God, if you spend forty years waiting on

  628. the Lord knowing who God is, you won't ask this question.

  629. And you'll see that later when you see Jetro's response.

  630. All right, but let's go to the next slide. So

  631. first time, first time, first doubt, Then Moses said to God, Indeed,

  632. when I come to the truth of Israel and say

  633. to them, the God of your father's has sent me

  634. to you, and they say to me, what is his name?

  635. What shall I say to them? That's how you read this.

  636. You may go like, yeah, Moses is just trying to clarify.

  637. He's trying trying to make things right. But next, leight say,

  638. is this next thing that we can learn from Moses.

  639. It is not about what others say. It's about knowing

  640. God in your own personal life. God had to teach

  641. Moses who he was for forty years of our own lives.

  642. What are we doing? Are we waiting for this encounter

  643. with the Lord? And when God meets you and says, Albert,

  644. uproot and go to Perlice right now, how would your

  645. response be? Because if Albert has spent the last fifteen years,

  646. because before Paul, when for his missionary trips, he had

  647. to spend a time along time ten plus years preparing.

  648. And when it's finally time to go, Paul, when our

  649. preparation is key, what are we doing in the midst

  650. of our preparation. It's not about others say. It's not

  651. about what others say, and they say to me, what

  652. is his name? What shall I say to them? And

  653. God is in all his power and all his grace,

  654. He gave Moses the answer. And God said to Moses,

  655. I am who I am? Amen. The next thing I

  656. can learned goes all the way to chapter four. This

  657. is a second time already. Can you imagine if I'm

  658. I don't say that, if I'm God, But if I'm

  659. in the position where God is and I'm asking someone,

  660. empowering someone to go, and he gives me so many

  661. excuses and replies, I'll get frustrated by this time. But

  662. God is so patient, all right. Chapter four, verse one

  663. says this. Then Moses answers and says, but suppose they

  664. will not believe me or listen to my voice. Suppose

  665. they say, the Lord has not appeared to you. There's

  666. so much doubt. There was so much doubt in my

  667. mind was when I was on the way to this school.

  668. Yet the answer is simple, and we will see that

  669. later recites it is simple, really next like third thing,

  670. third thing, third time, third time of doubt. It is

  671. not about your skill or ability, friends, It's about what

  672. God can do with what is in your hands. Because

  673. how God responded to Moses was a miraculous sight. You know,

  674. if they do not believe you do not hear from you,

  675. they say that you don't have not heard from the Lord.

  676. Perform this science and wonders. Like this stick that is

  677. in your hands, this rod, throw it to the ground.

  678. You will turn to a snake, grab it by its tail,

  679. and you will know. And people see this, they will

  680. know that I'm with you. But I pray, I pray

  681. and I pray that our journey in this life would

  682. not be God show me who you are. Rather, Lord,

  683. show me what you can do with what is in

  684. my hands. Because I have faith to believe that you

  685. can work. And it's not about who I am. It's

  686. about who you are. It's not about your skill and ability.

  687. It's about what God can do with what is in

  688. your hands. Amen. That's what we can learn from Moses.

  689. He's a wonderful man. He wrote the five first five books.

  690. But he had his stoubs. We have our doubs, We

  691. have our trials, our persecutions, our temptations. But yet it

  692. is not about us. Next light, third time. How many

  693. have you heard this story, this statement that time is

  694. the charm. The time is enough, three warning and you're gone.

  695. Three access, you're out. Well with God, it's not even

  696. three access. It was for excess. Let's look at what

  697. he said. Then Moses said to the Lord, Oh my Lord,

  698. this is the worst one. In my opinion, I am

  699. not eloquent. Hello, my friend, after forty years of education

  700. in one of the top countries, you're saying you're not eloquent.

  701. We noticed when Steven said it in the Book of Acts.

  702. This man is by far not described as not eloquent.

  703. By far, he has so much wisdom in his words,

  704. so much accuracy in his words, But in the midst

  705. of his creator, after three times of doubting who God is,

  706. what God can do, after everything that God has said,

  707. Oh my lord, so you like to say, oh my God,

  708. right now, this is version. I'm not eloquent. Neither before

  709. I'll catch this because if the before, but I can

  710. still understand. But neither before nor sin. You have spoken

  711. to your servant, some of you, even after God has

  712. spoken to us, we still feel that God can move.

  713. And we've got to get out of that hole, because

  714. you're going to go down this hole that you can't

  715. get out from. It's okay to start slow, but it's

  716. not about how you start. It is about how you finish. Friends,

  717. You can stumble along the way. You may go to

  718. the sidelines. Said this yesterday, but you get to get

  719. back on the track, stay in your lane, finish the race.

  720. I am not eloquent, neither before or since you're spoken

  721. to your servant. I am slow speech and slow of tongue.

  722. Now by this time, you know that God was already

  723. something to be angry at the anger of the Lord.

  724. He says in the verse, the anger of the Lord?

  725. What's there? The Lord say to him who has made this?

  726. Who has made men's mouths? So he's he's studying to teacher. Really,

  727. Gods something to teach, like Moses, last chance, last chance.

  728. After forty years, I haven't spoken to you, and now

  729. I'm speaking to you, and yet you're giving me excuses

  730. of the excuses, of the excuses of the excusers. Who

  731. a minded? I have to convince you. Hello, Sometimes we

  732. feel that we need God to convince us. Please, friends,

  733. do not allow God to pass you by, because it's

  734. such a shame on the break troths that you may

  735. go through. If you have said yes to God when

  736. you had a chance to say yes to God. But God,

  737. in his grace and his mercy next like the anger

  738. of the Lord. God's anger upon those who does not believe.

  739. God was angry. But yet God, in his grace, on

  740. all his grace, still uses us despite all our flaws. Amen,

  741. how are you happy to hear this that God still

  742. uses us despite all our flaws, despite who we are,

  743. despite how we feel about ourselves. Because Moses was definitely eloquent,

  744. but he felt that he wasn't eloquent. He felt that

  745. he wasn't ready, He felt like he didn't know God.

  746. But yet, in all of his flaws, God still used

  747. someone that was not even ready. And apostles say this

  748. recently at a gathering that I was at. God uses

  749. someone even though he was not ready. Some of us

  750. need to be ready before we are used by the Lord.

  751. I was not ready to become a pastor. I did

  752. not have a Bible degree. I did not have a

  753. certificate on my wall. And when I came across multiple

  754. different leaders, the first question they asked me is whereas

  755. your Bible degree? And how do I get to feel

  756. about that? Sometimes you feel stepped on, You feel like

  757. you got no BIB degree. You don't deserve to share

  758. the word of God. Hello, there's the days of the

  759. Old Testament. God are days you do not do you

  760. have to be a high priest anymore to come into

  761. the Holy of Holies. The wild was torn from top

  762. to bottom the moment Jesus was resurrected from the grave,

  763. and we have a direct access to God. But yet,

  764. but yet, again and again. Sometimes we allow the definition

  765. of this world and this world's definition to define us.

  766. And Moses allowed that. But yet, in all of his grace,

  767. God still use Moses. Amen, God can use you. Friends.

  768. Let me just introduce you a simple way of responding

  769. to God. Okay, what God will be pleased with? Nextight?

  770. So Moses after four times of pushing the lot away,

  771. and by the way, God was angry. So God said, Nah,

  772. a Lord, if you don't one, you cannot. Don't worry

  773. you just be my mouthpiece. I'll get Aaron to kind

  774. and speak for you. So, actually, if you look at it,

  775. he already missed something, you know, he missed the chance

  776. to speak out of his own mouth for the Lord.

  777. Aaron had to speak for him. Can you imagine that

  778. someone else is doing what you are supposed to do.

  779. But yet God still used. God still used Moses. So

  780. Moses went and return after hearing, okay, Aaron will come

  781. and speak for me. Okay, fine. Moses went and returned

  782. to jeded Thro, his father in law, and said to him,

  783. please let me go and return to my bedroom. Who

  784. are in Egypt and see whether they are still alive? Wow,

  785. look at this response, And Jedro said to Moses, go

  786. in peace. Who are you going with? What? I'm you

  787. coming back as my child? What are you doing with

  788. why my daughter? No? Jetro's respond was go in no question,

  789. no doubts, no clarification. Sometimes we like to clarify things God,

  790. when you say, this is what you actually mean. What

  791. does it mean to give? What does it mean to

  792. be a blessing? What does it mean to sacrifice? Can

  793. you please elaborate? God? But yet sometimes the answer that

  794. the Lord is looking for it's just three simple words.

  795. Go in peace? Go in whose peace? If you're closely

  796. following God's response to Moses, you will find out that

  797. it is the peace of God that Moses should have

  798. went with the authority, the annoying thing, the power of God,

  799. not about himself, but about his creed. I think we

  800. can all learn from Jetue. We can all learn from Jetrue.

  801. Go in peace, friends, Huh you mean I have to

  802. minister to a bunch of students who ninety percent are

  803. not believers and eighty percent don't be English. Go in

  804. peace because it's not about you. It's about me. Go

  805. in peace. Go in peace and the peace of God.

  806. There's a pass all understanding about God, your heart and

  807. your minds in Christ Jesus. Amen, Amen, Next life, I'm

  808. going to share You're bringing you along with my journey. Okay,

  809. on how I actually recognize God's timing next life. I

  810. don't know if you can see this clearly, but this

  811. was my ways that I showed you earlier. And now

  812. I was struggling again. It happening just a span of

  813. ten minutes. I was struggling in the jam. It shows

  814. blue or whatever, but trust me, it was jam. Ah.

  815. I looked, I looked, so the first thing I saw

  816. was northwest, which I read as northway. The second thing

  817. I saw was DC. Can you see that I'm not? Oh? Lord,

  818. you are really speaking to me now? And I just

  819. share with you something And this is personal Okay, this

  820. is personal. The Lord has always ministered to me in

  821. science and vision. Maybe because I'm named Daniel, I don't know,

  822. but I have the ability. I'm beginning to operate under

  823. that anointing now beginning to learn how to operate under

  824. that gifting of dreams and interpretation of visions, something that

  825. has I started to recently discover. Okay, the first time

  826. I recognized it was when I was supposed to do

  827. a pre marriage counseling with Rachelle and I and I

  828. in my mind straight away I had a dream and

  829. in my dream, doctor jail and but the Jack over

  830. my counselors, and when will receive a call from them? Nothing,

  831. And we have a lot of counselors in next church,

  832. and specifically that two names came about, and the Lord

  833. spoke to me, they will be a counselors. I'm like

  834. in my own heart, right, I'm like, wow. Of course

  835. we felt that they were really a good matural ass.

  836. Three days later they called. Recently, I also had another

  837. dream that I had to interpret and it was a

  838. very hard dream to interpret, and God willing I will

  839. be able to do more for his glory. But it

  840. was a very difficult, very difficult. And I will share

  841. and when the right time has come, But for now

  842. it's between me and the Lord and my leaders. But

  843. when I saw this, this vision came upon me and

  844. I saw DC. It almost feels like God is telling

  845. me the way Jalan the road, Daniel Chong, look look clearly,

  846. look at Daniel chapter one, verse five, and I will

  847. speak to you. Daniel, chapter one, verse five. You can

  848. see the roads over there. One shook five and I looked,

  849. and when I came back. This was after I came

  850. back because I was struggling. So I was coming back

  851. and I was trying to prepare for today, and I

  852. went and I looked, and when I look at this,

  853. I was in awe of what God was doing in

  854. my life. And I pray the same over you, because again,

  855. let's remind you, the question is what am I supposed

  856. to do when I encountered the Lord? The question is

  857. what am I supposed to do if God is quiet?

  858. The question is what is God's timing. It's not about us,

  859. it's not about my timing, it's not about my understanding.

  860. But yet Daniel chapter one, verse five says, and the

  861. King appointed for them a daily provision of the king's

  862. delicacies and the wine that he drank in three years

  863. of training the top service. Now we're talking about Daniel,

  864. Sharedred Miched and Manigo. We're talking about the young man

  865. that the King has kidnapped and brought to Baby Lawn

  866. from their own town and their own home that was destroyed.

  867. They were kidnapped, they were kidnapped away. And this four

  868. young men was entitled to all all that Moses had. Remember,

  869. Moses was also entitled to the education. And now you're

  870. given the King's education, the king's provision, the king's training.

  871. How many of you would be amazed with that? The

  872. King picked up his phone and call you, called Kju, Kju,

  873. can you deliver one thousand packets to the King's palace? Now?

  874. How would your response me? But then I have to

  875. go king, and I read this. The first thought that

  876. came to her mind was next night, what is your source? Friends?

  877. What is your source? What is your source of strength?

  878. What is your source of direction? What is your source

  879. of joy? Because recognizing God's timing would take understanding, would

  880. take understanding what is your source? Who is your source?

  881. Because if your source of strength is the affirmation that

  882. comes from the students, the affirmation that comes from your marketplace,

  883. your boss, the affirmation that comes from your pastor. Then

  884. is no wonder why sometimes our well runs dry, because

  885. our pastors, our bosses are still men, and we are

  886. not able to give you the water that you can

  887. drink from and you will never curse again. The only

  888. thing they can do that is Jesus. So what is

  889. your sol Daniel, what is your sauce? You're feeling down,

  890. You're feeling weak, You're feeling like you have nothing to

  891. offer to these students in Wesley Methodist. What is your sauce?

  892. Who are you looking for? You're looking for the King's delicacies?

  893. Are you looking for my daily break? Because my daily

  894. break says that I am more than sufficient, more than

  895. not just sufficient. Sorry Lord, sorry Lord. And as if

  896. there was not enough, he had to bombard me with

  897. the next Jalan Jalan one jalan DC one stroked the team.

  898. Let's go to that slide. Jalan one DC stroke one

  899. stroked the tea. I tell you I can't make this uppler.

  900. Just look at the image. Seriously, just look at the image.

  901. Next next light, next point. No, no, no, no, no, You're

  902. going too far please go back back back back back back. Yeah,

  903. where's the point number two? Point number two? Josh? Thanks, yeah,

  904. and then the verse the verse please before that, no

  905. one shoop the teen. Yes, thank you x TV, thank

  906. you for following me. One shoot the teen says this, Daniel,

  907. chapter d C. One shoop the teen. Then let our

  908. appearance be examined before you, and the appearance of the

  909. young man who ate the portion of the King's delicacies,

  910. and as you see, if he deal with your servants, Daniel,

  911. how is your posture? How is your countenance? Are you

  912. going to walk up into this place looking like a

  913. like a long mangos teen? Are you going to walk

  914. up to this long place, long, this place of of

  915. where you're supposed to minister my glory and look like

  916. you are someone that doesn't look like yourself? Because someoneers

  917. have to watch a posture. When I slouch, I look

  918. like bad. My wife always had to remind me. Then

  919. wash up bush and I went home. There let me

  920. do I want a home can darling? At home? Can?

  921. At home? Can? But when you're outside at the wash

  922. a posture? Okay? Yes, dear, so ways have I washed

  923. a posture with God? Because sometimes we tend to throw

  924. a tantrum when people see us out there. They don't

  925. recognize you as a Christian because your posture is not

  926. one that is of a Christian. Wow, because if you

  927. take my daily bread, if you purpose in your heart,

  928. scan your heart. Because Daniel got into this place with

  929. his three friends because he purposed in his heart not

  930. to defoul himself. And yes, he got into this place

  931. because he did not take off the king delicacies. Test me,

  932. test me for ten days, test me against the others

  933. that will eat all the beef lam steel, and I

  934. will just take the veggies ten days. What is your

  935. posture when you walk into the house of the Lord?

  936. What is your posture when you walk into your marketplace? Daniel?

  937. What is your posture? Do not walk into Wesley Methodists

  938. with this attitude? Now, mind you again, I only got

  939. all of this after when I finished preaching. I was

  940. sat in my car right outside Wesley Methodists, and all

  941. this came pouring in. And I was just overwhelmed because

  942. I actually went into Wesley Methodist with a posture of defeat.

  943. But yet, like mostes, God still use me. I thought

  944. that there was nothing that I did, but later I

  945. will share a few testimonies that came out from that day.

  946. God still used me in all of his anger, but

  947. yet his grace that is more than sufficient. He still

  948. used me. But friends, please do not take him for granted.

  949. Don't take his grace for grunted. Scan the posture of

  950. your heart. Scan who you are next, light Chalan DC

  951. one Sroke seventeen. I'm not done with you yet, Daniel,

  952. like how you like how Moses rejected me four times?

  953. This is your third time, already third time. Listen, listen

  954. very carefully. As for these four young men, wow, four

  955. points four young men. God gave them knowledge and skill

  956. in all literature and wisdom. You can you see the peril,

  957. the peril of how and when Moses was so doubtful,

  958. doubting Moses, and yet God says, I'm going to give

  959. you this wisdom. I'm gonna give you these signs, and

  960. under my sign, you're gonna use what is in your

  961. hands out of obedience. And miracle also happened because what

  962. the world says is that you got to eat the meat.

  963. What God says is you got to eat my meat,

  964. my body that is broken for you. You got to

  965. eat it. It is your daily bread. It's not just

  966. something that we do during Good Friday or something that

  967. we do when you're going to something. No, it's about

  968. remembering what Jesus done for us on the cross. And

  969. as I remember, and as you remember, and as you partake,

  970. and as you dwell, and as you be and in

  971. part take it in. God gave them knowledge and skill

  972. in all literature and wisdom all and Daniel had understanding

  973. of all vision and dreams. That day, when I read

  974. this line, because my name is Daniel, I begin to say, God, why, Why?

  975. Why did I even reach this place? Why? And my

  976. next word was I'm sorry, Lord, I'm sorry that I

  977. went into this place with this tree postures. The number one,

  978. I was not partaking of the daily bit in this

  979. specific moment. Number two I wasn't scanning my heart. And

  980. number three I didn't know that. I didn't go in

  981. the anointing authority that God has given to me. I

  982. went in fear, the fear of the And it's not

  983. the fear of the Lord that I went with. I

  984. went with the fear of the world. Would the people

  985. think about me? And you're talking about a preacher who

  986. has preached for two years already, and maybe even five

  987. years before that. You're talking about someone like this, and

  988. yet I went through all of that. I'm sharing with

  989. you today. Why am I sharing all of this review

  990. because I want to encourage you. The third point is supernatural.

  991. God would give you the check you're operating. Don't be

  992. afraid of the supernatural. Don't be afraid of the wisdom,

  993. the understanding of all literature. Don't be afraid of that

  994. because some of us are okay with the part that

  995. says heal the sick, but yet not okay if the

  996. part raised the death, because heal the sick and raised

  997. the dead appear in the same line when God spoke

  998. to his disciples, go into every household before you preach

  999. the gospel heal the sick, raise the dead. But yet

  1000. we're okay to ask God for a prayer to get

  1001. rid of cough and fever. But yet when someone talks

  1002. about raising the date, we go like, that's blash for me. No,

  1003. it say's the same sentence. And that's why when Pastor

  1004. was praying for Deafney, I believe that it was one

  1005. of the trigger points that in my own life that

  1006. bush came and when I saw that bush, I felt

  1007. that burning heat, sensation and tears of that rolling down.

  1008. The next time I opened my ears, I hurt someone

  1009. else opening their eyears I heard, I heard the miracle.

  1010. You have to understand that as you're operating in the

  1011. ways of the Lord, miracles, science and wonders will show.

  1012. He also says in scripture that people will believe when

  1013. they see science and wonders. So, friends, do not be

  1014. afraid to operate in the anointing of the Lord. All

  1015. of you have the anointing. As long as the Holy

  1016. Spirit is in your heart, you have the anointing. Do

  1017. not doubt yourself, Do not dubt yourself. Do not despise

  1018. your youth. You do not despise who you are. Amen. Next,

  1019. like please, this will begin to this blew my mind,

  1020. but I want to share with all of you this journey. Okay,

  1021. So we're done with DC, right, Daniel Chung and I'm

  1022. in ex church. So next thing I saw was seven

  1023. forty nine. I tell you, I can't make this up

  1024. because let's look at X chapter seven, verse forty nine.

  1025. Heaven is my throne and earth is my footstore. What

  1026. house will you build for me? Daniel, or what is

  1027. the place of my rest? Where am I going to rest?

  1028. The son of Man has nowhere to put his hit on,

  1029. no pillow, no rest. But yet you want to rest,

  1030. Yet you want comfort, Yet you want to be comforted

  1031. by the voice of this world, the teachers, the students,

  1032. No Daniel preach the word. What is this place that

  1033. you're building for me? Where is this place off my rest?

  1034. Next like, so can you imagine I'm already getting hit

  1035. by arrows and the like non stop me at this point.

  1036. At this point I was like, God, I'm sorry, God enough,

  1037. I can't take this anymore. And if you saw the picture,

  1038. it actually says arrival seven forty nine. So I had

  1039. to arrive and an understanding that God is not looking for

  1040. a physical building of the church, more so the church

  1041. being activated and operating under the power of the Holy Spirit.

  1042. I had to come to the realization that I need

  1043. the Holy Spirit. And sometimes when we are so fixated

  1044. on this world, we do not see what is there

  1045. in plain sight next light, we do not see. What

  1046. is there in plain sight we do not see. We

  1047. see the DC one five, one thirteen, one seventeen. But

  1048. what we do not see is the one nineteen that

  1049. is there all the while I do not see that.

  1050. Do you see the Google maps on my ways? It

  1051. wasn't there one nineteen. And when I saw that it

  1052. was one nineteen, because I was going to this place

  1053. called Bundastrey Gofields, I felt led to turn to First Corinthians,

  1054. chapter six, verse nineteen because I had six minutes left

  1055. to reach and I have six minutes left to wrap

  1056. up this word. And this hit me like a truck.

  1057. It says, or do you not know that your body

  1058. is a temple of the Holy Spirit? I can't make

  1059. these up. Friends. What house are you gonna build for me?

  1060. Where am I going to rest? The answer is you your hearts.

  1061. That's where you're going to rest. That's where I'm going

  1062. to rest. I'm going to dwell. I'm going to abide

  1063. in you as you abide me. Some words do not

  1064. treat our body as well? I, for one did not.

  1065. I read ninety four g early this year, and year

  1066. after year, I gave promises empty promises to my wife.

  1067. I promised my wife and I when I engage to her,

  1068. and I said, in a year's time, I will be fit.

  1069. And I tell you what our wedding for those I

  1070. looked like a plump hand even buttoned my jacket. I

  1071. can't even buttoned the jacket that I pre made for myself,

  1072. because when I made it three months later, I grew

  1073. it even even fatter promises of the promises, of the

  1074. promises I gave to my wife, and I did not

  1075. accomplish it year after year, and this year I told myself,

  1076. I need to do something about it. So I'm still journeyings. Still,

  1077. I'm still on a journey. I don't know whether you

  1078. all noticed that I lost a little bit of weird.

  1079. If I didn't, then it's okay. But the waying scale

  1080. se I did, like, okay, the waying scales see I

  1081. did from ninety four to eighty six. Yeah, pick up

  1082. Aul doesn't do anything now, okay? Please? Is the it's

  1083. the work that happens before that you ten or so? Maybe,

  1084. But I didn't do full fast, so Canabutan. Did you

  1085. not know that your body is the temple of the

  1086. Holy Spirit, Daniel? Did you not know that you your

  1087. heart is where I reside And when you walk into

  1088. Wesley Metaday School, you are bringing me with you. Next light, Well,

  1089. I'm well closed. I'm all close. And I looked at

  1090. this picture again, and I saw the same letters I

  1091. saw before, But this time I did not see what

  1092. I saw, which is northway. But this time I saw

  1093. the next light. I saw a narrow way, because the

  1094. way the Lord, it's going to be narrow. The eighty

  1095. percent ninety percent believers, non believers, non English speaking may

  1096. look at you and laugh at you when you share

  1097. a story in English. We don't understand what you have

  1098. to say. But that is the wide way. But the

  1099. way that is taken a few, a few of us

  1100. have taken enter by the narrow gate for the white gate,

  1101. and for why is the gate? And broad is the

  1102. way that leads to destruction? Daniel, Do you want to

  1103. go to the broad gate because it's easy. It's easy

  1104. to go to the broad gate, and there's so much

  1105. noise there because there's so many people there. We get distracted,

  1106. we get we get so occupied with what the world

  1107. has to think. But when you enter the narrow gate,

  1108. which is difficult, Daniel. It's difficult. Ng is difficult to

  1109. enter the narrow gate. But yet it leads to life.

  1110. And there are few who find it. The few who

  1111. find it friends are pray that today every person in

  1112. this place will be one of the few. Please do

  1113. not miss out. It's the same prayer that I have

  1114. for myself every day. Nowadays, I tend to utter this word, God,

  1115. help me, help me into the narrow path, the narrow gate,

  1116. the narrow gate that leads to life, the narrow way

  1117. that leads to life. Next night, I'm going to close soon.

  1118. When I saw this, but the end I'm using every

  1119. God spoke to me in every single numberlla, basically in

  1120. the picture, and you will see why. Soon I saw

  1121. one dot one, and by this time I was crying

  1122. and in the car, and it says, one point one km,

  1123. keep my word. Keep my word, Daniel, no matter where

  1124. you are, no matter who you are, no matter what

  1125. you do. Why keep my word? Because one dot one.

  1126. And I was thinking of my father in law at

  1127. that time, which is John. Because I'm look into my

  1128. father in heaven right. The first name that came to

  1129. my mind was Stephen and John. Stephen in X chapter seven,

  1130. verse forty nine, and John in John chapter one, verse one.

  1131. The beginning was the Word, and the word was God,

  1132. and the word was with God. And I had to

  1133. say to God, all right, all right, you got my attention.

  1134. Now what's next? By this time I was excited, really,

  1135. I was excited. I was excited. Next light, and I

  1136. was excited. Then God reminded me your bush now is

  1137. not burning anymore. Someone was here in this place. Your

  1138. bush is no longer burning. Your five with the Lord

  1139. is no longer burning. And how are you going to

  1140. revive it? Then? How are you going to revive it?

  1141. Is temporary flame that has went off, because my flame

  1142. is eternal, but yours is not. But you rely on

  1143. my flame? And how do you can you keep burning?

  1144. Next light? Next light? I say thirty eight verse two. Wow,

  1145. I told you right. God used every single sent, every

  1146. single number there, thirty eight sook two. Then Hezekiah turned

  1147. his face. Isaiah thirty eight, verse two, verse five, turned

  1148. his face towards the wall, and pray to the Lord.

  1149. Go and tell Hezekiah does say, the Lord, the God

  1150. of David, your father, I've heard your prayer, I've seen

  1151. your tears, and surely i'll add your day's fifteen years.

  1152. Because Hezekiah was about to die. If you know this story,

  1153. Prophet Isaiah came to Hezekiah and said, you're going to die.

  1154. You've got to set your house in order. If you

  1155. don't set your house in order, you're going to die.

  1156. And Hezekia was young at the time. He was thirty nine.

  1157. I'm not going to explain why thirty nine, it's in scriptures,

  1158. but he was thirty nine. Young men, some of you

  1159. imagine when you're so young in your faith and you're

  1160. on fire but you lost it fire. And if someone

  1161. comes up to you and you feel like, if I

  1162. don't set my house in order, I'm gonna die. And

  1163. how did Hezekiah got live added to his life was

  1164. that by prayer? And another scripture says that miracles are

  1165. only possible through prayer and fasting. And as we are

  1166. in this season of U turn, I want to encourage you.

  1167. How is your fast going? Are you keeping strong or

  1168. is it just a diet? Are you keeping strong? Because

  1169. if you're not keeping strong again, I'll remind you it

  1170. is not how you start, it's how you Not too late, friends,

  1171. not too late for that breakthrough to happen. How is

  1172. your prayer? How is your fasting? Because by prayer God

  1173. was moved and God added fifteen years to the life

  1174. of Hezekaya. So I took this as a sign my

  1175. fire was about to be reignited again, and I pray

  1176. the same over each and every one of you. Next light,

  1177. next light. Oh, I just I was just hiding this

  1178. from you all this while, because that was the comforting

  1179. image that God was with me. Right in front of me,

  1180. a rainbow appeared. I can't make this up. I can't

  1181. make up the goodness of God. I can't. How can

  1182. you construct a message just by a picture and a rainbow?

  1183. I didn't, Okay, I didn't. God let me step by

  1184. step on a street beside Wesley Methodist. When I came

  1185. out defeated. Okay, I came out defeated. I came out

  1186. not knowing how well I did. I thought that it

  1187. was all over. I thought I would never get invited

  1188. back again. By the way, spoiler alert, they invited me

  1189. back again. But God showed me the rainbow next night.

  1190. Let's let's let's let's worry so close. Let's close, I said,

  1191. my rainbow. This is a story of Noah. I set

  1192. my rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be a

  1193. sign of a covenant between me and the Earth Verse fifteen,

  1194. A covenant between me and you. Verse fifteen. You Daniel rainbow.

  1195. I am with you, Daniel, Moses, I am with you, Albert,

  1196. I'm with you, Gabriel, I'm with you. Shannon, I'm with you. Sometimes.

  1197. How to notice that it's just to look up. Don't

  1198. be too fixated on the ways that is beside you.

  1199. But look up, and when you look up, you see

  1200. the rainbow. God is there. He's right there the whole

  1201. way on the way to Colfuse. The rainbow did not disappear.

  1202. I came out from the school to out in the

  1203. rainbow is still there. Where have you seen this in

  1204. your life before? By the way, different rainbow that was overwhelmed.

  1205. I can't, I couldn't suppress it. I came back and

  1206. some of this came after I came back to the office.

  1207. But next light, and it's next hushash. This is Hebrew

  1208. for rainbow. And by the way, and Hebrew, there's no

  1209. suching as rainbow is a ball. It's almost as if

  1210. God is saying, I'm turning away my bowl from the earth.

  1211. I'm not going to shoot the earth no longer, punning

  1212. it away. That's why it says in Genesis, next light

  1213. and the same Jalan thirty eight stroke too. By the way,

  1214. it's three ber okay, thirty eight stroke too. Just be

  1215. honest if you're thirty eighth stroke two Psalms thirty eighth

  1216. strop two thirty, chapter verse two. For your arrows pierced

  1217. me deeply, and your hand presses me down the bowl

  1218. there was before me, in front of me, I felt,

  1219. after all that has happened, after all that God has

  1220. spoken to me, I felt an arrow coming out from

  1221. that boat, and it pierced my heart. And I said,

  1222. for the last time, I am sorry. I repent. I

  1223. will never oh by the power the Holy Spirit, will

  1224. never doubt you again. I will never doubt you again.

  1225. Wherever you bring me, God, wherever you lead me to,

  1226. And I pray the same motion every one of you.

  1227. Wherever God leads you to, I pray by the power

  1228. the Holy Spirit, not by might, not by power, by

  1229. but the Spirit, says the Lord. You will never doubt

  1230. God again, because God has been so good in your life,

  1231. and you are beginning to doubt him again and again

  1232. and again and again again. And I pray, and I

  1233. pray to the grace of the Lord. And it's more

  1234. and sufficient for all of us because of His mercy

  1235. and race. You will continue to use you, no matter

  1236. how disobedient you are, no matter how bad you are

  1237. in your life. But because God is good and he

  1238. is always good, come to the far And if you

  1239. have not yet come back to the Father, maybe to

  1240. day's to day. Today's the day that I pray that

  1241. the word will penetrate your heart like a double aged sword,

  1242. like an arrow that's being shot by a bow, a rainbow,

  1243. and your prayer will be for in you. Oh Lord,

  1244. I hope you will hear. Oh Lord, my God, do

  1245. not forsake me. Oh Lord, Oh my God, be not

  1246. far from me. Make haste to help me. Oh Lord,

  1247. my salvation. That was my prayer. And that's how I'm

  1248. going to close today. Next night, is there anything else, Amen,

  1249. That's how I'm going to close today. I want to

  1250. say it's again, friends, there's no way that could have

  1251. made this up. And I will pray the same over

  1252. each and every one of you that there will be

  1253. an experience in your life that there will be no

  1254. way that you can make it up. Because when there is,

  1255. when it's grill and when you have experienced it and

  1256. undergo it, When you experience that, it's not about God.

  1257. It's not about not about me, but it's about God.

  1258. Then you will realize. And my conclusion was this, Daniel,

  1259. you may be going to a place where ninety percent

  1260. does not believe in Wesley Methodist. But Daniel, you are

  1261. standing on a ground where ninety percent also does not believe.

  1262. And it is your responsibility to make disciples of all nations.

  1263. It is your responsibility to go in the power of

  1264. the Holy Spirit to all of Jerusalem, to all of Judea,

  1265. and all of Samaria. Ten percent Christians in Malaysia. It

  1266. is not where we would want to be. But Daniel,

  1267. ninety percent more are waiting for you to be obedient

  1268. and to go forth like how Moses went forth, and

  1269. when he went forth, God use team so greatly and

  1270. so mighty the same I declare over each and every

  1271. one of you. Friends, Go in the authority of the Lord.

  1272. And when you are weak, the strength of Christ is

  1273. made perfect in your weakness. When you are weak, God

  1274. is strong and he can make it work because you

  1275. realize and you surrender that you are weak.

  1276. We hope you've been blessed by this message. For more
