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

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

  3. Has to be preached to ends of the world. And

  4. if we don't go, who will go? And God always

  5. gives everyone a versus, an opportunity to go, a portunity

  6. to respond. The invitation is out there and it's a

  7. question whether we want to respond or not. Then when

  8. sister Surah shared her story, because I hardly her shared story.

  9. Is only the husband that shared a lot of stories.

  10. The wife is very quiet. But this time we get

  11. to hear sister Suria share her story or her journey.

  12. It's really really amazing. If you've known her ten years ago,

  13. she never wanted to take the stage, never want to

  14. take the microphone, never want to be on stage. Now

  15. that's a husband thing. Now she's like more than happy

  16. to support her husband. But when she started sharing about

  17. her journey, about her encounter and different things like that,

  18. it really really just reminds us a gate and a gate. Really,

  19. what's our faith all about? Why do we believe? Why

  20. do we do what we do? Sometimes you may not

  21. be able to see it in the immediate return, meaning

  22. to say that you invest today in the lives of people.

  23. They respond immediately Tomorrow salvation take place. You know, you know,

  24. ten ten million people come and know Jesus imediates be

  25. in a community whereby you're the only believer. And when

  26. she shared her story about God's asking her to go

  27. to the interiors of Sabah, that was something which really

  28. resonated in me only because not so much about interiors

  29. or anything like that. This is so like God. Isn't

  30. it encouraging? You know, putting a nation, a place, a

  31. community in the hearts of the people say would you go?

  32. Would you go? You heard about you know what we

  33. are doing with our community project once a month and

  34. it's only made possible because of the homes that we

  35. have or the cell group that we have in church.

  36. It's never easy to go to a community by yourself

  37. one and you know, the needs are really a lot,

  38. and we get people writing in for needs. We have

  39. a family that writes into us every other time. You know,

  40. normal groceries. Can you buy groceries for us or not?

  41. And we'll put money together in an office there and

  42. buy groceries for them. Sometimes we know which are the genuine,

  43. which are the more For flicky one, the flicky one

  44. is always like, we can buy groceries for you, but

  45. it may not be the brand that you liked. Somethings,

  46. I only take this brand, only go like okay, hmmm, anyway,

  47. let's be saying the point. So God spoke to her,

  48. she went there. And the fact is this is that

  49. I'm not sure how many diversitier will continue serving if

  50. you are the only one imagine right now packing your

  51. bags or rather for a season, for shot, maybe over

  52. ten days, going there in the community whereby it's so

  53. strange you're the only one constantly asking yourself did you

  54. hear wrongly? Did you listen to God correctly or not?

  55. And life of a faith is always like that, isn't it?

  56. That she shares scripture which really really resonated in my heart.

  57. Turn with me right now to accept the twenty was

  58. twenty four. I got, really got this scripture. This is

  59. my scripture for this year. If you don't know, it's

  60. twenty twenty four. This is twenty twenty four year, very

  61. easy to remember, but it starts off with this. But

  62. none of these things move me. None of these things

  63. move me. Paul right in the midst of the challenges

  64. in the midst of the trials, in the midst of persecution.

  65. You know, it's never easy when you know your life

  66. is a stick. It's never easy that you know your

  67. life people are coming out to get your life, people

  68. are coming out to kill you. It's now easy when

  69. you know where the pressures and stuff like that. It's

  70. almost not human not to think about it. You know that,

  71. you know that the possibility of you going to a

  72. particular city that people really wanted to go after you.

  73. You know, it's hard. You know, even right now some

  74. of us here got different challenges, is coming weak or

  75. rather work there needs to be done, and if you're

  76. honest enough, you're thinking about it, even though we don't

  77. want to think about it. But Paul rights in such

  78. a way whereby but none of these things move me,

  79. even though the danger is very real, the challenges is

  80. very real, and sometimes obstacle is so real, but it

  81. doesn't occupy his mind and his heart. It doesn't have

  82. a foothold, It doesn't rob his attentions, rob his focus

  83. on serving God. Because sometimes in our journey when we

  84. have an issue, first thing we drop is God right.

  85. But Paul wrote it in such way whereby yes, he

  86. acknowledged this thing is real. It is there could be

  87. waiting for me because it was ready tree right. The

  88. Holy Spirit reminds him confirmed to him there are trials

  89. and challenges coming waiting for him in the next city

  90. that he's going to go to. It's very real. But

  91. yet everything he said, but none of these things move me.

  92. I pray that we have the same spirit as Paul

  93. as well, that none of the life challenges that we

  94. are facing right now will rob us. We'll steal our tension,

  95. we will rob our devotion, we will rob our Bible

  96. reading time. None of these things will move you to

  97. a place whereby to say that God is not real.

  98. None of these things will cause it to come to

  99. a place whereby you doubt. Paul Is to write as well,

  100. no do I count my life dear to me, friends,

  101. until unless you re a place whereby knowing that no

  102. matter what happened to us, our future, our life, whether

  103. it's the present, right now or even the time, will

  104. we go home to meet with the Law and Savior.

  105. All that really doesn't help, you, know, because I'll anchor

  106. our our future, our life, our spirit is in the lot. Recently,

  107. this about last week, I think I went for Moses

  108. Francis week. Got to know this brother in church in

  109. homes PC for homes very interesting, you know, live journey

  110. of his and stuff that. But to go home to

  111. be the law at ah forty one, at forty one

  112. years old, God called him home and you know when

  113. we were at the Whek service, you know, we're just

  114. talking to some of his friends, some of his friends,

  115. what happened and this stuff like that, and he said

  116. that though for for a few weeks really that he

  117. had chest issues. He was supposed to go and see

  118. the doctor, and he did so the day that got

  119. called it home. He was on the way be painful

  120. this sided but get it checked out. Guy in his

  121. friend's arm. They were on the way to the hospital

  122. and you know he he breakfast last in his friend's

  123. car on the way to hospital. And everyone there was

  124. when the set of shot. Everyone at the weak of service.

  125. The mom was in tears were in the set of shot,

  126. like so young, you know, so much future even though

  127. let's say for the so much in front of him

  128. and stuff like that. But yet because the mom used

  129. to be a pastor, that used to be a pastor.

  130. The although absence in the body, meaning say that no

  131. longer here tears. Of course we miss him terribly, but

  132. yet knowing that his sperienced with the Lord, and that

  133. that is the future, that that is the anchor, that

  134. is a hope, and I was ourvation that death will

  135. not have victory. That's why Paul can write in such

  136. way wherebi, I do not count my life as valuable,

  137. and sometimes the word pitied as your life is really valuable.

  138. It's true that we have one life we need. There's

  139. no such thing as game over. We start pressing the

  140. butter we play again at level twenty five. There is

  141. no opportunity to do that in real life setting. But

  142. the question is not how the length of time. The

  143. question is how have we been living our life? Because

  144. can we be like Paul at no matter what stage

  145. of our life that God causes back, have we given

  146. out all to the Lord? Heavy self, empty ourself? God?

  147. If you ask me to go once a man into

  148. the community to do something, I'm willing to do that

  149. because at the end of the day, Paul say that,

  150. nor do I count my life dear to me. So

  151. what's dear to you, friend, is what's dear to you

  152. is what you hold onto. You know, it's very hard

  153. for it to release something that is when you gets

  154. hold of your heart. Sometimes we had a brother in

  155. our church, you know, broken up with his girlfriend for

  156. like ten over years, ten over years. Ready, But yet

  157. at the same time, you will be seen that once

  158. you wick up, ready, well, you're gonna get made in

  159. the future. It's gonna to keep anything for your pastler,

  160. it's not to keep presents from your past and stuff

  161. like that. And you know, but there is only a tumbler.

  162. Even it's only functionally, it still can be used. It's

  163. only a tumbler and stuff like that. I said, yeah,

  164. it's only a tumbler, But why is it so hard

  165. for you to let it go If it's only a

  166. tumbler still can use. I say, well, if you tell

  167. your future spouse that you know you're still keeping this

  168. tumbler because your eggs give it to you, I'm sure

  169. she very understanding, because it still can be used. They say,

  170. he got the Hitt revelation, keep them, took the thing,

  171. decided to go to the dust meet, and just decided

  172. to release it. Now, there's nothing wrong with the tumbler

  173. or anything like that. But yet at the same time,

  174. what's what's what you're also dear to you, so dear

  175. to us in our hearts is we're finding very hard

  176. to let go. That's why Paul wrote it in such

  177. a way whereby I do not come my life, that's

  178. dear to me. The more we hold onto our life tightly,

  179. the more harder for God to use us at the

  180. field we see. We want Christ to come into our life.

  181. We want the experience the goodness of God, the mercy

  182. of God. But yet at the same time God is

  183. asking us, that are you holding on to life so tightly?

  184. The Bible says it met chapter six, sicky first, the

  185. Kingdom of God. Friends. We all know the scripture, but

  186. there is the first thing first we need to do

  187. in our life. In our journey of faith, sicky first,

  188. the Kingdom of God. And many times in our journey

  189. of friends, we are always sicky last, the Kingdom of God,

  190. because we want, we want the Word is. Everything else

  191. has to be exhausted, for then only you return to

  192. the Lord. But God reminds us today, siky first, the

  193. Kingdom of God. And all these things should be added

  194. on to you. Friends. The challenge has always been that

  195. things drop us of our attention. That's why Paul did

  196. not give too much attention to the challenges he has.

  197. Because the more we think of our problem, the more

  198. we magnify, the more it consume us. Isn't it The

  199. more we think about something, the more it consumers Let's

  200. say you just got involved with the relationship and you're

  201. thinking about the person and everything of the but the

  202. person is always good, It's always nice. One. That's why

  203. I've been doing one of the question. We always ask

  204. free before they start dating. All right, they come and

  205. see us, they say, eld, we we're gonna start dating. Really,

  206. then you know it's always good. In the first journey,

  207. we need to say that everything is always very nice. One. Oh,

  208. she's so nice, he's so nice, he's so punctual. I've

  209. always lived for half and now it was so understanding,

  210. never school me. Yes, it take my time, right, all

  211. these things in the friends you understand. Okay, we've been

  212. in and out of love before. You understand, right, But

  213. yet we have to ask. But yeah, but how would

  214. it look like once you get married? Will you still

  215. say half an hour, no problem, take your time? Or

  216. across one minute you start you start to say you

  217. grab to the place on your own. I'll drive there

  218. right now. I cannot be late. We have one time,

  219. many years ago. We have a partner in our church.

  220. She has the sweetest of voice. She was twenty three

  221. years old, but her voice was like fifteen year old.

  222. And she can get away with murdered anytime and very nice. Yeah,

  223. actually can give you murdered that because she's she's pettit

  224. small sized. Right wherever she goes, she will get concession

  225. because she's still like a kid. Stage one time I

  226. think she was trenty three before with her colleagues after calase,

  227. they decide to go always says you know, uh to

  228. eat and stuff like that. They had meat and all

  229. the wine. The way to ask the Christie your I

  230. d please that kind of thing because against petite, small

  231. size and everything like that. So anyway, so uh, there

  232. was a guy saying, I really like her so much,

  233. her voice, her voice, He's so cute. So cute are you?

  234. I can hear every day? Oh man, So I have

  235. to explain in such a way. Yeah, what you like

  236. right now may not be what you like in the future.

  237. Right Let's say I say, for example, you get to

  238. hit the argument. I'm sure you go say, can you

  239. be more serious? But I am serious. You understand and

  240. try and say so what sometimes you holdt to think

  241. so dearly friends, So paul ask you us, don't don't

  242. hold onto your life so tightly that you cannot let go,

  243. you cannot move forward with the Lord. It says that,

  244. so that I may finish my race with joy. Friends.

  245. It starts with, really, what is it all about at

  246. the end of the day, At the end of the day,

  247. God always encourage every person to finish our race well,

  248. to finish our race well, not just to finish friends.

  249. Many people just want to finish a race, a race

  250. just yeah, I get to a race, I get to

  251. the finish like I'm a finisher where the T shirt

  252. probably and stuff like even though we now finish and

  253. stuff like that. We what, sorry, I'm not hit taking

  254. out anybody, all right, I do not know anybody and

  255. who went for one of those things, all right? You know?

  256. We the word is that we encourage people to end

  257. the race, finish well, finish well. But the Bible here

  258. says in X chapter twenty verse twenty four, friends, paul

  259. Us is asking us to finish the race. Race come

  260. on joy, to finish this life with joy. The only

  261. way you can finish this life with joy if it

  262. is that it's totally opposite, not so tightly, so dearly,

  263. so precious. This is all mind. Paul's asking us today, friends,

  264. not to finish our life, to come to a place

  265. whereby I finish, that's it, right, we get so angry people.

  266. You can get to a finish line and we get

  267. so angry with the people try to just in the

  268. position to get to get number one. You can get

  269. so angry people because someone trying to try to lay

  270. a trap in front of you. Right, you can finish

  271. a race with anger. You can finish a race with dispute.

  272. We can finish a race with bitterness and resentment. Or

  273. you can finish a race with joy, the Bible says,

  274. and joy friends come from a place whereby you know,

  275. if we've ever been in the race before, friends, it's

  276. very hard to smile when you just feel that your

  277. legs is going to give up. It's very hard to

  278. smile when you're just trying to get some air, trying

  279. to say, hey, I thought I can run. You ever

  280. put a pair of running shoes, pair of running shoes

  281. right in the mind. Right now you've asked you feel

  282. before how long? How far do you think you can run?

  283. I'm not sure how many of us you overestimate our ability,

  284. you know, right, Let's say, for example, majority I can

  285. run hungry meter without stopping right. In fact, we can

  286. only pass the meter after the meter away. Yeah crap,

  287. yeah but sorry. Even though Paul is facing prison, possibility

  288. of death in front of him, he can write this

  289. to the church. I don't count all this as important.

  290. Number one. Number two is that now do I hold

  291. my life dearly? Because I want to finish my race

  292. with joy. The only timement we can we can come

  293. to a place like Paul is to know that this life,

  294. this race that Paul is running, is not for himself.

  295. You can only finish the race with joy when you

  296. know that you're running this race for the Lord. Many

  297. times in the people's life and journey is that there

  298. is a target and achievement they want to achieve before

  299. they exit, which is true everyone. We want a particular lifestyle,

  300. we want to particular target, go for it. But there

  301. is a higher calling whereby God, this life, this breath,

  302. this life that you have given to me I want

  303. to learn it to live for you. That's why Paul

  304. can write I want to finish the race with joy,

  305. because at the end of the day, what really matters

  306. is serving you, doing your will, doing your purpose. Understand

  307. your purpose. While I'm here on earth many times is

  308. now journey. Friends. We try to explore so manything else

  309. we go from one job to another job. But the

  310. true satisfaction is this that knowing God, what is it

  311. that you want me to do? I can be placed

  312. in any company, I can place it in any field.

  313. For that matter, what is it that you want me

  314. to do? You can place me, you can bless me

  315. with X amount of money. But Lord, what is it

  316. that you want me to do? Because until unless you

  317. come to this place, God, here I am. Let me

  318. hear your voice, which you direct me? Would you lead me?

  319. You know when Girl ran back to Germany, he did

  320. not just want to settle down, and this attended church.

  321. Two may people by just settling down and not doing

  322. anything for Yep, nothing wrong with attending church. Nothing is

  323. wrong with just being part of a community of faith.

  324. But God, this life, they're all that you right now

  325. have given me. Of all the church you join, you

  326. decide to dry a church called X. Think about it.

  327. There's so many churches around, fantastic church around in claimorate.

  328. You decide to take this leap of faith to join us,

  329. not because you know acts exist, you know down the

  330. road and you're just so nearby. There's one kilometers away

  331. from your house. You could have after that, maybe after

  332. the first time here in church, you could be hearing

  333. new to church, maybe say this is not your church.

  334. But since you're a part of our church, our church

  335. is big in church planting. So you stick to a

  336. particular church because you believe in where God is being

  337. in the church too. Other churches they could be big

  338. in worship, right, and that's why everything every resources put

  339. towards a worship experience. Our church right now, we want

  340. to say that a maximum we want the church plan

  341. to go through is hunger and twenty people. Then you multiply,

  342. Then you multiply a hunger and twenty people, then you

  343. multiply homes. Once you've reached twelve, thirteen, forty, pray that

  344. you multiply. Don't come to a place where, oh I

  345. need to look for a bigger place. These days, not

  346. everyone has a big home. Majority of people have a

  347. small home, so we won't we prayed every home maximum

  348. is twelve after twelve, really think about multiplication because that's

  349. the desire right, so everyone can be part of a

  350. serving community. There is no there's no place, there's no

  351. such thing as I'm just here that people can serve me.

  352. We want everyone to hear, to be to explain what

  353. the myths to serve the Lord. So you're power of X.

  354. You know at X where you heard stories of people

  355. planting a church, people doing this. The biggest shock I

  356. get is that when visiting speakers come to our place,

  357. you mean you allow female female leaders in church. I say,

  358. I'll be dumb. I'm not if I don't allow them

  359. to serve because there's not enough man in our church. No,

  360. I say do enough man, Okay, I do not say

  361. they're not here. I just say that it's true right now.

  362. Don't say like lea like knocking my own guys down. Okay,

  363. look around us says they're they're more females in church

  364. than male. There's a natural fag it's a natural fact. Right,

  365. and say that you allow them to do communion. One

  366. of the this is you allow female to leave communion

  367. do you know that what Selena did today right to

  368. add another denomination? It's it's yeah, it's everything else like

  369. we are a cut like that. Right. But here's the thing, friends,

  370. here's the thing. It's not because we are liberal or

  371. anything like. We totally believe God empowers everyone to serve.

  372. Really got empowers everybody to serve Him at the end

  373. of the day. That doesn't look like just gender or

  374. you male female. Know, if you hear his war the

  375. Bible saying today, here's what don't harden your heart today?

  376. Here's what he did say today. Man, if you hear

  377. his woice, men, no, today we hear is what don't

  378. hadden in your heart? So God reminds us again and

  379. again what ex is all about? So you heard good

  380. and door is planting the age of sixty something friends?

  381. Never is it? They went back about year plus. Really

  382. they were praying for a place. They measure to find

  383. a place right now and next Saturday, next Sunday is

  384. going to be launched sixty something friends having to need

  385. to learn how to use Instagram. Not easy, friends, We're

  386. actually we are asking good, would you could you try

  387. to explore to talk because we are trying to reach

  388. people promote our things. Okay, we've released amount of costs. Right,

  389. use what's natural to what people looking at and try

  390. to promote something. And the only people with them that

  391. we know pasic pass Passesandra, do us a favor? What

  392. you teach good? How to use istar and TikTok? She said,

  393. what's TikTok? And she knows they talk about how to

  394. use it. I was like, passing the way very easy.

  395. But we send you a couple of videos. You look

  396. to it. Can you start filming? Okay, filming like you know,

  397. ask Good to do a welcome video. Okay, then you

  398. send back the video doors you do color correction. We

  399. send me back to them how to use how to

  400. use a handful to record good videos? So could you

  401. imagine at sixty plus sixty something having to learn all

  402. this out of your comfort zone that they so, you know,

  403. I'm staying with my dad. My dad, they so came

  404. up to me and said, you know what, I finally

  405. discovered that well, these days password is so secure capital alphabet.

  406. You gotta use new merrit special character. I look at

  407. my dad. There there is a standard requirement for all passwords,

  408. is it? I said, yeah, But at that age trends.

  409. I'm try trying to say, ad age at the age,

  410. at that age, learning all this brand new world right now,

  411. it's not easy about us like O Killer. It's normal

  412. for us to step password. It's normal for you instagraming.

  413. You don't even know five minutes looking at it. How

  414. high could he be? Right? Just but at that age

  415. having to learn all this steep learning curve, steep learning curve,

  416. to learn all this, but yet Paul says that I

  417. want to finish my race with joy. And that's what

  418. God and they always wanted to do, to finish their

  419. race with joy, to finish their race knowing that my

  420. purpose here on earth is to do the will of

  421. the Father and to finish his work. He did not

  422. just want to go back to a place whereby I

  423. want to reach out to my family members. I want

  424. to go back to impact my nation. I want to

  425. go back to impact my nation. I'm not sure where

  426. you are with your journey right now, but I pray

  427. that you allow God your time with ex to speak

  428. to you, and God excite you and just say, God,

  429. I have this life. I may not have much, but

  430. would you use me or not? Passapala did not allow

  431. his health issue to stop him from serving the lot

  432. at the field, did not allow him, did not do

  433. not allow his heart issue. And if you have done

  434. all this massive heart issue, the first thing that always

  435. come to our mind is every bit of pain. Now

  436. you thought, this is your last breath? Ready, if you

  437. understand every each insight that part of the area here,

  438. it's all like, is this my last? Worst part is

  439. if you wear all of those smart watches, it shows

  440. your heart rate one every time your hurry goes up,

  441. because like my hurry is right uretic. Sometime I get

  442. one sixty eight of random blue, sometime I get thirty

  443. four or something that. So every time you read something,

  444. your mind just go extremely over over work because is

  445. this my last breath? But the Bible here is this possy.

  446. I want to end my race with joy. The only

  447. time you can end your race, you enjoy knowing that

  448. who you're running for? Come on, who are you running for?

  449. Who are you running for? This race of life? It

  450. is for yourself. Because Paul did not allow himself to

  451. be exalted. Paul did not allow himself to be exalted.

  452. Relations Chapter two Wards twenty Relicious Chapter two Wards twenty.

  453. You know the scripture. A lot of people, preachers appreciate

  454. on it. But two twenty states this, I've been crucified

  455. with Christ. Come on, i have been crucified with Christ.

  456. So Paul wrote, wrote in such a way. But his

  457. life is no longer his anymore. His life right now

  458. is nil to the cross, and that was the Cross

  459. is the one that determines how he should live, not

  460. based on what he thinks, what he feels like, what

  461. the economy say. But God, if you ask me to go,

  462. I would go. That's what being crucified is no longer

  463. I who live. No, no, no, my priority is no

  464. longer Why I think it is. That's why Vision Conference

  465. is good for Christians, because it really reminds us the

  466. value of what we have, the impact, what we could do.

  467. Since the say fifty ring gig does go a long

  468. way for the teachers in interior Saba. That's why their

  469. paper month fifty fifty. If some of us here our

  470. lunch is fifty. I'm not knocking people who are lunch

  471. at fifty. No, no, I'm not knocking nothing at all.

  472. Nothing nothing to do with knocking people. But the value

  473. value what we could do with it isn't it amazing?

  474. As a church, we could make and make a sorry.

  475. We support to missionaries in China, show the affiliate missions

  476. organization their survival. I think from one month it's only

  477. about very little calculators about thousands ring it. They go

  478. from city religious to religious, not a lot. But yet

  479. at the same time I look at it, well, first

  480. of all, when we're right organ this amount, how to survive,

  481. how to survive with the amount, But there's not the idea.

  482. I just ask you for that amount. That's it. And

  483. first I want to let you know it goes a

  484. long way. So it's no longer I who live, but

  485. Christ who lives in me. Friends, it's not about emptying

  486. your life, no becoming zen and stuff like the Bible

  487. says Christ who lives in me, Christ empowered life, his priority,

  488. becoming your priority, his mission, becoming your mission. Christ lives

  489. in Me is not a tagline we put on a

  490. car or a T shirt. Christ living in Me just

  491. means that God, I want to live out your conviction

  492. here on earth. There's a lot of believers, but two

  493. little disciples. A lot of people say they believe in God,

  494. but not enough disciples. Disciple just means this God, wherever

  495. you go, I will go. The Bible says, take up

  496. the cost and follow me. A lot of people are

  497. just having an expression of faith. Really nothing wrong with

  498. expression of faith, but no Christ conviction. Christ living in

  499. me means living out Christ's conviction here on earth. Many times,

  500. our journey friends, we are very contented by just going

  501. to church, maybe giving some money. But yet there has

  502. to be more. That's why Paul cat right, I want

  503. to finish my race with joy, because at the end

  504. of the day, what really matters is that pleasing God

  505. is my number one priority. Paul could write in such

  506. a way, we're boy to fish racis joy. And the

  507. ministry which I received from the Lord to finish my

  508. risk of joy and the ministry I received from the Lord, friends,

  509. is what Paul writes, and encourage the people to live

  510. out the way as well. So back to relationship to

  511. two twenty, it says as well, but the Christ, but Christ,

  512. listen with me. The life which now I live in

  513. the flesh, the life with now I live in the flesh.

  514. I live it by faith in the Son of God

  515. who loves me and give himself to me. I live

  516. it by faith. And this is how I'm going to

  517. close and only still start a point about one or

  518. my introduction. I'm so sorry I I the PC when

  519. you ask me, you know the one message you want

  520. to preach and stuff that. I'm so sorry that I

  521. was at the breakfast earlier on I gave them my

  522. slights and just before I went now, I just felt

  523. God just say, can you take your like just track

  524. it out the window. I have pologized to breakfels. I

  525. said this tart go, no slide, but just allow me

  526. just to share something with you all, because you know,

  527. I look at them and God just wants to remind

  528. them of that their shepherd, and this morning they want

  529. to remind example, remember remember what what's it all about?

  530. Remember what's it all about? So Christ? List in me

  531. Christ conviction, living in me, Christ conviction, living the life

  532. that I live in the flesh right now. I live

  533. it by faith. For us to experience Christ conviction, for

  534. us to experience Christ here on earth, for us to

  535. know that we're living out Christ conviction is to live

  536. out by faith by faith. I'm alshore, how many oversightens

  537. for missions? By pray that you have selm for missions?

  538. There are a lot of openings. This that we are

  539. opening a bit more thanks to Past France in Indonesia,

  540. opening up a few more places for to go to

  541. or there, you know, without the church in the cars.

  542. See we will make an impact into the smaller place

  543. in Percambaro whereby strange and weird things are happening, you know,

  544. and stuff like that. So measured by baby's milk for

  545. marinarwish kids up in Pacambaro and this stuff like that.

  546. As a church, the impact of the global impact, what

  547. we could do Pass of France and and and and

  548. the whole team are doing that. Karawachi is a church

  549. plan that started Indonesia. They are very small. They're only

  550. like maybe a quarter of your need, maybe about twenty

  551. plus thirty. But financially as a church they're doing very well.

  552. They're very blessed because again the city and because the

  553. God has better financially they have been such a blessing

  554. blessing to the different parts of the church. Out from

  555. their collection they give it to pass of France, do

  556. what you need to do, set up the church in

  557. different places. Out from that they also give them Memma mema.

  558. Right now Passau Sam Road to earth, say that it's

  559. very hard. It's where I had to buy patrol, where

  560. you had to buy patrol up in Memma. Kill a

  561. couple of This is a couple of litters only not

  562. only that. The most recent news that regard from him

  563. is this is that every every meal under said the age,

  564. you have to serve the military, and your brother said

  565. the issue, you have to do something else for the military.

  566. So right now they are in this place. Right now

  567. they say, we don't there's some of us don't there

  568. to go out from outside from our our surroundings too far.

  569. We might go up but never return back. So say,

  570. please pray for us, Please pray for us, that our

  571. fifth Continity remains strong in the midst of these challenges.

  572. And this is right there, sending sending, sending news to

  573. us about what's happening over there and stuff like. He

  574. said that our country to allow people to leave. No

  575. one can leave the country right now. We want to

  576. would remain in. But say, please pray for us. Aren't

  577. you glad that you know that we at least have

  578. someone on the ground the updating us and we can

  579. pray as a church. Not much, friends, I'm not sometimes

  580. when when we transfer money over to Memmo. We're not

  581. We're not even sure, like you know how safe we

  582. did for you to withdraw money for you. So we

  583. as a church, as a church, you heard for passenger.

  584. We the Global Church together with Malaysia. We brought him

  585. a second hand. We could to very people to church.

  586. So when he STI when I was talking about I

  587. say that how would he withdraw money? And where would

  588. he keep it? When you want to buy something or

  589. it's not like how is the system working? Like oh

  590. here right you bank bank bank transfer right or something

  591. like that. But in the midst of all the curuses happening,

  592. how when does he how does he do to the things?

  593. But by the grace of God, you say that, you know,

  594. because he reports us the people were robbed, people were

  595. killed and stuff like that. Here we say God up

  596. protect him. He mentally he bought the viker. He bought

  597. the viker for every people the church. Right now, there's

  598. no patrol, no patrol, no patrol to drive the vehicle.

  599. So careful a couple of this, just a couple of

  600. litters of patrol, that's what they're in. But as the

  601. chance you can pray amen as a change you can

  602. pray as I close right now, friends, you can live

  603. it by faith. There are people that we know right

  604. now who are living their conviction by faith out on

  605. the fields, out there literally holding onto every word of God,

  606. every word of the law. Said. This is so key

  607. for us. But yeah, there's some of us say Heaven,

  608. take yourself of faith. I pray that this is in

  609. God before their ends. Help me to express my conviction

  610. by faith. Help me to express this life that I

  611. have by faith, not holding on so tightly, so dearly,

  612. but really to please God in all that we do.

  613. The I think of the most heartbreaking thing is that

  614. the time with God calls her home heavy with help,

  615. with help. Now, I'm not asking you us to reside

  616. go to the mission field unless you know you heard

  617. God spoke to you so clearly and double comfort me

  618. with your chich leaders know. I'm asking that you know

  619. us to consider living by faith the God this year. So,

  620. there was a new mom and the son that came

  621. to x men Drain a couple of days ago. She

  622. found us on church. She found us Google soorr I

  623. found goo Google us by faith again. She came up

  624. to her place, she visited us, She likes it. She said,

  625. finally I found my home in Malaysia. Sun studying here.

  626. But she knew her as Simon friends mainland Chinese. But

  627. she feels that she she knows that not coming to

  628. church is not enough. Coming to church is not enough.

  629. She takes it upon the color of got a lot

  630. on alive to reach out to everyone in her condominium block,

  631. condominium block. So last Saturday, I believe last SA day.

  632. It was yesterday. Yesterday, she invited about ten of the

  633. people she reached out to from China. They all camere

  634. because of churious education. They decided going out take together

  635. with the homies. She knew that friends, if coming, cannot

  636. be just coming to Malaysia for my churist education. It

  637. has to be more than there. Right now we call

  638. our faithful regulation. It's just coming to hear this, the

  639. words taking a step out of faith and this even

  640. though I'm a foreign land, you know, like what Paul

  641. writes or not, I'm not gonna allow this to stop

  642. me from serving you. Ivangualism is much in it everywhere

  643. we go. I did come my life daily. Sometimes we

  644. say a weep with rejecteds. Okay, I'll move on but yes,

  645. she's so gung ho and she's just wanted you to

  646. reach out to the neighbors. This is people of the

  647. love of Jesus tell telling people what Jesus done in

  648. her life, even though she was she'sed from a country

  649. that persecure Christians. As I close right now, friends, I

  650. pray for all of us here. Really, at the end

  651. of the day, we can really like poor. None of

  652. these things really matter. The physical stuff, yes, it's good,

  653. it's important. We need all those but that's not the

  654. life goal. Life goal is really to know God and

  655. to do his real.
