Understanding what God wants | Elder Terence Atkinson

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

will light up your day. This morning, I have a word for you,

right And as Pastor Stephen pointed out, you know, I do get

up early in the morning to pray, and this morning I forgot to set

my alarm. But do you know that God is serious. I set my

alarm for three forty five every morning so I can walk for three hours praising

and praying. And last night I forgot to set my alarm. But who

needs an alarm when you have the Holy Spirit who woke me up at three

forty four. And I looked at my time and I saw it change from

three forty four to three forty five, and I said, thank you Lord,

and I got and I prayed the anointing of the Holy Spirit will be

with this world because very important. What I got to share with you is

probably one of the most important things you and I have to hear in these

last days. And you know, every time that I've been coming off late,

I've been speaking a lot about last days because they are upon us.

Jesus is coming soon, and I pray we'll be ready. Okay, So

this morning, the word is understanding understanding it is either a stumbling block or

a stepping stone. You know, there's a good you know. The thing

about understanding is, of course the title is understanding what God wants. You

and I we've got once, But what does God want? You know that

God has once. God has desires, and he wants us to know that

we should live alive, giving him what he wants, not what we want.

You know, very often we get it mixed up. We give God

what we want and hope that he receives it. God's a very, very

exact God. Now, if you give him anything then what he wants,

he just might not accept it. Because when you come before the Lord,

you have to give him in accordance with what he desires. And look,

you and I, we want our lives blessed. There was an amazing testimony

we heard. You know why that is because God wanted you. Wow.

When you came in line with what God wanted, change took place, change

even which you did not think you could do. But you see, God

always knew he could get it done. But in order for that to happen,

God had to have his way. And when she aligned what she wanted

with what he wanted, it happened, okay, So understanding what God wants.

Understanding is it a stumbling block or a stepping stone? Hey, you

know the different the thing about understanding wrong it can rob you. Now,

I understood that if I eat a lot of ice cream, I'll be okay,

wrong understanding. If I eat a lot of cake, I love it.

Man, it's okay, it's good. Wrong understanding. And recently I

went for medical tests and I realized that I needed to change my life.

So I started two months ago, two months ago from a size for Excel.

Today I'm wearing a single Excel two months because God put understanding in my

heart. So now my understanding is stay away from carbohydrates, man, not

good for you. Stay away from ice cream, not good for you.

Walk good for you. That is my understanding. And so I've just been

following that and God has been faithful. So understanding, if I understand rightly,

it just might be a stepping stone. Do you know that understanding is

a funny thing. Understanding can either make you or break you are you were

that you understand wrongly, It can cause you a lot of damage. It

can cause your life to be in a great problem. But do you know

if you understand correctly, it can be a wonderful thing. So you and

I we got to take the trouble to realize that we've got to get our

understanding right. We've got to get our understanding right now Inefficients four eighteen.

It says having their understanding darken, being alienated from the life of God because

of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart.

This is an example of wrong understanding. You know why wrong understanding comes.

Wrong understanding comes when we are alienated from the life of God, when

we are living a life that is not in accordance with His will. When

we decide we are God and He is not. Do you know many people

in the world have decided that they are God and he is not. We

always say it in Churchill he is God and we are not. Right,

But do you know the world is saying we are God and He is not.

And because the world has said that God is not God, their understanding

is gone crazy. I want to tell you this last week or about a

month ago, I found out in the US California preschooler kindergarten. You know,

they've got a club called the Rainbow Club. Did you hear about it?

In this Rainbow Club, the boys are taught to love boys and the

girls are taught to love girls by the LGBTQ community. And do you know

the parents never knew such a club existed in the Californian schools. When the

parents found out, they questioned the school board, how is it that when

my children want to join the gardening Club, they got to get permission,

but no one asks me permission for the Rainbow Club. Hey, the fight

is for your kids, man, are you away? The world is so

dark now that they want your children. They can't get to you. They

want to get to your kids. So you and I were so happy to

send our kids to go and study in Australia. In you in UK?

Are we mad? Seriously, before you send your kid near that place,

you better teach them here. You better get God into their hearts, because

when they get there, the form is mister missus and others. You're not

aware. The fight's no longer for you. The enemy wants your children.

Hey. The scripture says that the kids will betray their parents, and the

parents will betray their children. I don't know whether I told this to you.

That woman in Australia. The son wanted to be a girl, and

when she said no, he told the school boy. You know what the

government did. They took the child away. The mother has not seen the

kid in two years. Do you know what they're doing to that kid now?

Puberty blockers. They are giving the same chemical they give to rapists.

They're giving it to the kid so that they can change the sex. They're

after your kids. Man, you think this is a figment of our imagination.

It's in the world today. We better get with the program. The

Bible says, train your child and the ways of the Lord. When they

grow old, they will not soon depart from them. So you think Australia

is a good place to teach your kid? Thank God for twinning programs.

Twin them, keep them as long as you can with you so you can

get the spirit of the Lord in your heart, and then go and get

their final degree when they're a little bit more matured, in order to be

able to see. When a guy calls himself a she, they will not

be blinded. So what did the world do? The world created loss.

You don't call me what I want, I put you in jail. Do

you know that this is in the world today. The world is getting to

the point where Jesus is going to come again soon. And you and I

are we sleeping? Do you know how close we are? I remember telling

you the revelation said, and I heard the number two hundred million? What

the kings of the East? The red dragon? Who's that? China?

What did President she say a couple of years ago, at a moment's notice,

China can send an army or of what two hundred million? John heard

it two thousand years ago? So how is that army going to match?

From China all the way to Israel? Have you heard of the Curriculum highway?

How many have you heard of the Curriculum highway? Can I see show?

Hence nobody? There is a highway all the way from China to the

doorstep of Israel. It was completed in nineteen seventy nine. You mean to

say it's been there for so long. When I became a Christian in the

early eighties, the church only thought about the second coming of Christ. We

were ready, and we are ready because we know the only thing preventing people

from crossing over is the Euphrates River. Do you know in the Old Testament

time that was such a big river. But there's a prophecy that the river

will be dried up. Do you know a couple of years back, do

you know what happened? The Euphrates river right up? There is nothing stopping

the crossover. Do you know that scripture also says that the bear will rise

up against God's people. So the bear and the kings of the ease?

Who is the bear? Russia? Are you aware that for the first time

Russia and China have become bosom buddies, great friends, all in the last

couple of months, just in the last few months, they become friends.

So why would they go after God's people in the Promised Land? Why would

they do that? Guess who's another member of the friendship? Yeah? Iran?

Are you aware that is Iran has supplied weapons to Russia in its fight

against Ukraine. So you ask yourself, what is all this's got to do

with the Promised Land? China has woken up and said, we will get

in, we will get involved to try and resolve the conflict of the Middle

East? Are you aware that this has taking place in just the last two

months. They are already involved. These were prophecies that we heard fifty years

ago when we just became Christians, and at that time it was so insanely

impossible. It's happened. The Bible says that in the last days, it

shall be like in the days of Lot. Look around. You don't need

to look to England and Australia and America. Just look to Singapore and looked

to Thailand. We went to Thailand a few years ago and they had this

beauty contest. We were walking in the complex, so el Mable said,

stop looking at I said, look. I said, this is the only

time you're going to see this, so you better look. They were gorgeous.

They were literally gorgeous. They were guys more beautiful than any girl that

takes part in Miss World or Miss Universe. And I'm not kidding you.

Shape same also, they all got the right shape, all can wear high

heels. You would not believe they were And of course their friends who were

with them were really they really look like frogs. I mean seriously, the

guys that were the other the ones that were not in the competition that were

around them, really look terrible. But this one she stopped looking. I

said, come on better, look, this is the first time and probably

the last time you're going to get to see it like this. It's right

at your doorstep. Okay. I want you to know they're no longer this

is a figment or anybody's gen Jesus is coming and is coming again soon,

and it can happen overnight. Do you know that America is begging China and

begging Russia. Do not allow artificial intelligence to govern your nuclear stock path,

because how many of you know, artificial intelligence actually quite stupid. They will

they do not look into the emotions and the feelings of people. They will

just act based on algorithms. And if they send one nuclear weapon up,

that's it. Man. But I need you to know nothing happens without Jesus,

says so Jesus is in control. So having their understanding dark and being

alienated from the life of God, the ignorance that is in them, You

and I can no longer afford to live in ignorance, okay, because it's

a darkness. Get out of me, darkness in the name of Jesus.

I need to see. I don't want to be blind anymore. I need

to understand wisdom. Scripture says is the principal thing, meaning it's important.

Therefore get it, man, get wisdom. That's what Scripture says. And

in all you're getting, get understanding. Do you know what this means?

On it? It means this. If you're a person that likes to get

and receive, Scripture is telling you go for it, get all that you

can get. But in all you're getting, make sure you get one thing,

get understanding. You can have all the money in your world. In

the world. Yeah, how many of you remember that cartoon Scrooge. You

know Scrooge. You know he dives into his coins. You know, in

the big vault, He'll dive into his coins. He's swimming in his money.

In all the getting, Bible is saying, go for it, get

it, but get understanding. Get understanding. You know, I won't ask

you to put up your hands, but if some of you are struggling with

high blood pressure, I give you some understanding. Okay. The Japanese University

Japanese University, one of the top universities in Japan, has done a test

on ten thousand people ten thousand, ten thousand people, and they are doing

what is known as intermittent walking training. How many have you heard of this?

One? Person. Okay, What it means is very simple. Three

minutes you walk slowly. You walk slowly like you can talk to your friend,

no stress. Walk three minutes and then three minutes you walk brisk fast.

During that time I can assure you no time to talk. Then you

go three minutes slow again, and you go three minutes fast again. Then

you go three minutes slow again. You do this for half an hour,

three times a week. They did this experiment and ten thousand people It reduced

the diastolic and systolic BP levels by at least ten to fifteen points. This

was such a breakthrough in understanding that universities throughout Europe and the US are now

doing the same study and coming up with the same results. And here we

are popping pills to reduce BP. I'm not telling you don't follow your doctor's

prescription. You know what they do in Japan. They give you a prescription

for your BP medication. You go to the pharmacy. You know what the

pharmacist does. He sits you down and he talks to you about intermittent working

training. Then he says, do you want to get with the program?

If you say yes, he gives you a monitor that will record everything that

you do, so that when you go to your doctor, and you go

to your doctor, he downloads all the information and he can see your progress.

What is the aim? Reduce the medication, heal you. This they're

doing in Japan. Do you think they do this in any other country?

They don't, but Japan is doing it. Why they understand? Scripture says

in Isaiah forty twenty eight Have you not known and have you not heard?

The Everlasting God, the Lord, the creator of the ends of the earth,

neither faints noise weary. God's not want to get tired. His understanding

is unsearchable. So when you talk about understanding, you go to the one

who's got it all all and who is that? That's Jesus, And through

the power Holy Spirit, he will help us understand. In Psalms one one

nine, one of four, it says, through through your precepts, I

get understanding. Therefore I hate every false way. Do you know that it

is through what is preceps, God's Wordler you want understanding, take the trouble

to open the book. You don't open the book. You don't get his

preceps. You don't get his preceps. You don't get understanding. Take the

trouble to open his book if you don't like how boring the Bible can look

at because some versions know color. Get an exciting one where you open the

typeface is nice, the print is nice, Lord of Understanding, colorful pictures.

Oh it's okay, God's not angry with you. Seriously, I after,

after so long, I got, I got. You know, I

probably had about throughout my journey about five Bibles. I got the Bible since

I first became a Christian until now then, I've been using an NIV Study

Bible open Bible for about twenty five years. And I finally decided last year

for my birthday to treat myself, and I bought the Sorry the King James

Study Bible not available in Malaysia. I had it sent from us. Lovely

Bible you opened, not a colorful pictures, a lot of explanations. Pay

you know me? I turned my Bible like this until today. You don't

find me. You never find you know why? Because I want my Bible

to look brand new. So you look at my Bible thirty five years the

one that I'm using it, it still looks brand new. I do not

like dog ears on my Bible. You will never find me writing with pencil

coloring. No, that's all I don't like. I like the color of

the print while it's printed. Looks nice, man. And if it encourages

you to read, go for it. Think about it. God's precepts are

in there. And you know what Ana says, I gain understanding from your

precepts. Therefore I hate every wrong path. How many of you hit a

wrong path? How many of you have taken a wrong path before? Wis

are not a good friend. He's a good friend, but can be better.

I remember once I was going to uh kneel ay to preach the word

and I was using Almible's car. It was a wait, my brand new

you know, nice spotty rate. We were driving, wa said go straight.

I went straight because we said so, So I went straight and then

I looked. I didn't recognize any place wasted. Just continue going straight.

I continued doing straight until Sydney. I realized that the grass kept growing longer

on the left hand side and the right hand side. And the next thing

I knew, the grass is taller than the car, but still got road.

It's okay, way said go straight. I went straight as I continue

to travel. Guess what the road disappeared. Now it was a red mad

path. But if I look on the right, in between the lalage and

the grass and all that, I can see some road signs there. Wasted

go straight, so I went straight. Then Wasted turn right, so I

turned right. The moment I turned right up palm oil Estate on my left

hand side, palmol Estate on my right hand side, palmoll Estate behind me.

Hey, no, I was in the palm Oiler state inside where the

guy goes and I'm inside. I continue because Wasted go straight. I went

straight and there was a cow in the middle of the road. I stopped

my car. I look at the cow. The cow looked at me.

Serious, I'm I'm not exaggerating exactly as I'm telling you this how it is.

I continue to look at the cow. The cow continue to look at

me. I horned, and I tell you what. The myvy's horner is

very embarrassing the cow, I promise you. I could almost hear the cow

grumbling. Slowly got up and moved to the side of the road. And

I continue my Jeniina, go straight with it. I went straight. Next

thing I know, there's a big ten foot drain in the middle of the

road, rain near nothing to go to the other side. That's ways for

you. How many of you had the wrong path? I turned back.

I went back, and the cow was in the middle of the road again.

Oh hey, I'm not exactly you, ask her again. I look

at the cow, and the cow look at me. What's the matter with

you? I already let you go the first time. Now you cannot leave

me alone. I press my horney and me cow got up, slowly,

grumbling and let me go. I said, you know what, I'm not

following waste. I'm just gonna drive until I find some road and then we'll

see where we go. So I did it, and I finally got to

my destination. How many of us hate a wrong path? It spoils your

day? Man, Understanding causes us wrong understanding causes us to get on the

wrong path. Aren't you tired? Am I not tired of getting on the

wrong path? So what is the right path? Then? What does God

want? What does God want? And I'm going to share this word with

you. You've heard it a thousand times before, but I prayed that this

time you will hear it with a heart of understanding. Go therefore and make

disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and

of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things

that I've commanded you. And lo, I am with you even to the

end of the age. And guess what this is? What we always miss?

The scripture says a man, full stop. Let it be so,

hey, God has one purpose for us in this world. Today. Go

there for all. Right, go therefore and make disciples of all you know

where it's all nations. All nations. Is not your home, because scripture

says you in your household be safe. Man given already. Oh but my

father is not saying my mother is not safe. So what are you waiting

for? On the first of May, I let my parents to the prayer

of salvation for a second time. What was the first time? Wrong?

No, the first time was thirteen years ago. And I told them I

want you to see Jesus as a friend. I'm not gonna take any risks

where it comes to you. So I want will you pray with me?

They said, yes, follow me and prayer. I'll let them. You

know how important this is to me, because you and I we do not

know when we're gonna live, how long we're gonna We don't know how long

our parent's gonna get to them. Man, hey, what are you doing?

When was the last time you said I love you mom? I love

you dad? When was the last time have you ever said it? Oh?

We Asians, we don't see it. Oh you don't understand. You

know, I'm from the Hakka tribe. We we don't don't do this.

Who cares you do? What you need to do to get your parents in

I can guarantee you it starts with you telling them you love them. It

will change their respect for you. It will change their response to you.

When I first told my parents I love you, what's wrong? Exactly?

When my mother asked me, what's up? Is something wrong? I'm telling

them I love them? Is something wrong? I said? Nothing is wrong?

I said, I don't want when you leave this earth over your grave.

I'm saying I should have told you. I will tell you now so

you can hear it. I'm not going to regret. I will let you

know every time I see you. Guess what my parents now hug me and

say I love you. I had to be fifty years old. To hear

that from them. That's how long it was. But do you know that

nowday're doing it to my siblings. It started something. Guys, your home

is a given, it's a promise. You in a household will be saved.

So what's your part in your house? Tell them you love them?

Is it so hard to do what? Shire? Let me tell you get

over your shyness again, because shyness has got no part in the kingdom.

Shyness has got no part in the kingdom of God. It's a lie of

the devil. The worst thing they can say is get away from me.

Killer. Just few maybe last month. I told my mother, Mom,

please forgive me, she says, Why I say? I want you to

know that as a kid, I must have been a rotten kid. I

think I was a child who only wanted things from you. I never stopped

to think what you went through to get it for me. Please forgive me.

What am I doing? I'm preparing them to meet their maker. I'm

preparing myself for when they meet their maker. My mom is eighty seven,

my father's ninety two. What's someone I want to wait for? Guys,

kid with the program and do what is good. This is the word that

the Lord has put in my heart to share with everybody. So you got

someone who will not get safe, call me, I come in help.

The other day there was this guy shared with him first time. Didn't accept

the Lord. I'm thinking of myself. Hey, God, you told me

to go and share with him, didn't it didn't receive the Lord, so

I left it. Three weeks past, then again I had the stirring in

my heart, so I told his niece, I need to go and see

your uncle. Yeah. Yeah, he's in hospital now. So I said,

can I come and say? Sure you can come. I went,

I prayed and I asked the Lord, Lord, what do I share?

So Who's what am I doing? I'm asking God for understanding. I'm asking

God for with the Lord. What do I share? You know what the

Lord said, Badminton? You think God is going to give you some revelation

from heaven, Toss says the Lord. Go and see the windows of heaven

open and the light will shine down and take up this God didn't do that,

he said, Badminton. Okay, I went and I spoke to the

man. You know what I told him? Did the doctors tell you you're

dying? Was so incentitive. He there's no time for all the funny business.

You gotta get to the heart of the matter. That's how serious I

said. I shared with you last time about Jesus. I want you to

meet Jesus as a friend so that he will receive you into his kingdom.

So you need to know who Jesus is. But I heard you say that

you will not become a Christian unless Jesus appears to you. That's what the

needs told me. So she said you play badminton. Yeah, yeah,

yeah, I used to play badminton. He was very lucid that time.

Yeah, yeah, I played badminton. Was very good. I say,

I want you to know Jesus has only served the shuttle to you. He's

waiting for you to hit it back. When he died for you on the

cross, when he gave his life for you, he served the shuttle to

you before he hits it back. You got to hit the shuttle back to

him. You have to return it to him in order for him to return

it back to you. What is that return? You have to give your

life over to the to the Lord. Then I told him what Jesus you

want to see? Look around you, man, look at these relatives that

are looking after you, your distant relatives, and they have rearranged their house

to care for you. This is Jesus. You don't need to look at

something. You can see them ride in front of you. Do you want

to receive Jesus? Yes? I do, And he received the Lord.

A couple of weeks later, he said, a bright light came into the

room and he could make out the outline of a man, but he couldn't

see the face, but it was bright and shining. He said, he

knew it was Jesus. Jesus did appear to him. And the other thing

is he said. A couple of days later, he says, two men

in white came into his room and they were discussing something, and then they

disappeared. So I told the niece, get ready, he's going to be

with the Lord soon. Those are his angels. What's important to you?

Just this week I met up with an ex colleague friend of mine. She's

a very very close friend, very close colleague. Mabel knows who she is,

and I've been trying to get a dinner appointment with her for so long

and we finally met up. See, I never do anything without her knowing.

So we met up this friend and I purposed in my heart. She

had to change her belief because of somebody she married, But I purposed in

my heart I need to share Jesus with her. And I told her this.

I said, you and I we've been good friends for twelve years,

and I don't want you to meet your maker one day. And you said,

Terence never told me, so I am telling you now, and I

shared Jesus with her. You and I were not called to share theology.

We're not called to share theology. You know what we are called to share

our witness, your testimony. I just shared with her how I came to

the Lord and how the Lord spoke to me. That's what I shared.

I shared with her this. I said, if ever you run into trouble,

call in the name of Jesus and he will coming will help you,

just like I shared with my friend who almost died at sea on his yacht

and Jesus came in helped him. He got to show he gave up all

his millions and he's serving the Lord full time. As I passed to day,

I shared with her story after story after story of how God came through

in testimonies. I only shared testimonies with her. So what do you share

with people. You're not asked to share theology. You're ass to share teaching

them to observe all things that I've commanded you. That's what you share.

But they come in the form of your testimony. Hey, I listened to

the Lord and this is what he did for me when the demon couldn't come

out. And I had a dream of a uniform falling to the ground.

And I tell the pastor, Pastor, this is what I dream. Pastor

goes to the house. The second uniform falls to the ground. You know

what was in the uniform a charm. When that uniform was removed in the

name of Jesus and cast into the fire, the demon came out. This

is what I shared with her. I shared with her. But how the

priests of this person came to the door of the church because they knew that

this man was being relieved, It was being released from his possession. And

the moment the three tried to step into the church. As they stepped,

they fainted because the power of God would not allow them to step in.

When they came to their senses, they ran. I was there to see

that, and what was I was just a student. This is in Singapore

eight nineteen eighty. Guys, share with them your testimony. Anyone who's not

in your household is the world. Okay, go therefore into the world,

into the nations. Anyone out of your house you already qualified. Guys.

If you've got somebody who needs to be saved and somehow you're not getting through,

I've said this before copying, I will come in help because I want

to see them in heaven. God wants to see them in heaven. And

you and I were so you know, when we meet Jesus one day,

he's not gonna ask us how much your money we have, guarantee you,

he's not gonna ask us how successful we were. He's not gonna ask us

how many houses we had. He's not gonna ask us what our possessions are.

You know what he will ask you? Did you follow the Great Commission?

Or in your life was it the Great Omission? Get with the program.

Jesus is coming soon. You got a family member who's not safe,

talk to them. Your sister loved you in spite of you giving a hard

time, she did not give up on you. Guess what I had a

sister like that who never gave up on me until one day I went to

church and the Lord said, Terrence, you know the Christian received me now?

And I did. There was a sister who didn't give up on me.

Guys? Is it difficult to witness? Right? It is? Isn't

it? Sometimes? Is that what you think? It's a lie. It's

not difficult to witness. You know how you witness? You don't care about

your face. I don't have a pretty face, so it's okay. I

got nothing to lose. One day, when I'm glorified in heaven, my

face has become pretty. Now it doesn't matter nothing to lose ball, you

know, wrinkle? Who cares about our face? Man? So the worst

they can say is don't waste time? More cong YESU the most they can

see that? Right? Okay, I won't talk Jesus, but I'll tell

you what happened in my life. Well, let's talk about that. And

then towards the end of the conversation, and it was Jesus. Okay,

thank you as you are by it. But you've shared Jesus with them,

guys. In Psalms one one, nine thirty four, and I saw that

Psalms one one nine thirty four, give me understanding, and I shall keep

your law. Oh you want to keep God's law, It comes from understanding.

Indeed, I shall observe it in my whole heart. Observe what shared

Jesus get with the program. In Isaiah eleven two, it says, the

spirit of the Lord, you'll rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and

understanding, the spirit of counsel and mind, the spirit of knowledge and of

fear of the Lord. Hey, guys, don't you think Badminton was a

really, really great understanding? Did any of you everything of Badminton in charing?

I have never, But God did, and he did the work.

It helps somebody understand the difficult concept that Jesus has done it. First,

the ball is in your court. You have to do something now. In

Proverbs three five to six, it says trust in the Lord. Trust in

the Lord with all of your heart. We got it wrong because we think

it reads trust in the Lord with some of our heart. No, all,

all, and lean on on your own understanding. You know what we've

been talking about. God's understanding, right, our understanding. Bible says,

do not lean on it your understanding is the serum. Yeah is off.

I'm trying to believe it. Your understanding is not right. Trust in the

Lord with all of your heart, and lean not on your own understanding in

all your ways. Acknowledge Him, and he shall direct direct your pa Your

heart, that is your inner man, the very thing that makes you who

you are, the deep part of you, that is really you, not

the what people see. What people see is sufficient. What God sees is

the heart. Trust in Him with your mind, with your will, with

everything that is yours. And the Scripture says to lean, you know,

lean, not lean. The word lean is support yourself. You know,

when you're tired, you lean against the wall. How many have you done

this when you're tired? Okay? It helps, right, takes the pressure

off your legs. Scripture is saying, do not support yourself with your own

understanding. You know why you will crumble. Scripture is actually telling you to

lean on God. Scripture says, with all, all everything, every time

Scripture says regarding to God, it's not in fact, it's not a portion.

It's all or nothing. You got to acknowledge him, acknowledge him.

Do you know that I never say I can do anything any idea that I

have for all the things I've accomplished. I say God is the one who

gave me the idea. Because I do I'm recognizing it's coming from God.

And you know what, for all these years, the ideas have not stopped

coming because I have caught onto something that if I acknowledge God, He's always

going to keep on working with me, and he will make your part straight.

You know what this word straight means besides being straight, not like ways

make you smooth? Man? How many of you like a smooth road?

Ah? You drive, Everything is so wonderful. But most of our roads

in this country, I'll go hums and bums all the time. How many

times we have hit the head on the ceiling a few times because Sidney,

the bum comes out of nowhere. No sign on the road to tell you

there's a hum. But in the Lord, the road is smooth. And

I want to end with description. In Acts sixteen twenty eighth thirty says but

Paul called out with a lord, boys, saying do yourself no harm,

for we are all here. Then he called for a light and ran in

and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas, and brought them out and said,

sirs, what must I do? Be safe? This was the incident

where Paul and Silas were thrown into prison for preaching the Word and because of

worship. The prison was shaken, the doors fell off, the chains fell

off, the doors were opened, and the jailer thought everybody ran and he

was about to kill himself, and Paul said, don't we are all here?

Firstly, how did Paul know that they were all there? It was

dark, word, you couldn't see. You know, it's the second time

that Paul said, don't worry, we're all here. You know when it

was the other time, the ship wreck, she wreck. We're all here,

We're all okay. God's involved in salvation and when people are saved,

they don't need to run anywhere. The people in that jail were saved.

You know how I know because they didn't run. They didn't run. They

were set free. They had a freedom of their heart. There was no

need to run from the prison. So now Paul could tell him, don't

worry, they're all here. The same God that don't worry, I will

save everybody told Paul there all year. And how did that man know to

believe Paul? Boy, hey, you are no lightlight, I have to

bring the life. How do you know whether they say he ask that Paul

no, he ran with the light. And what was his first question?

Sir? What must I do to be saved? Guys, if you are

living your life in the understanding of Jesus Christ, if you and I are

living with an understanding that God works through us, if we are living our

lives knowing that, if we are the will of God and witnessing and sharing,

people will even come up to you and say, sir, what must

I do to be saved? But that will never happen unless we make sharing

Jesus our lifestyle. Guys, this is what God wants us to know.

Time is shot, Jesus is coming soon. Start with your families, reach

out to them, and then start with your friends. In our homes,

we started reaching out to neighbors. How many neighbors in our homes have called

our neighbors and ask them to come. We're waiting for our friends to invite

other friends to the home and no need. Go to your neighbor and say,

I got this meeting. Will you come? Hey, I got this

meeting, Will you come? Start with your neighbors and see your life change,

see the world around you change. Praise the Lord. We hope you've

been blessed by this message. For more information on our church, please visit
