You're listening to a message to go from axt church.
-
We hope this message will light up your day.
-
Possible. Okay, let's read from verse from chapter two, verse one,
-
and it reads, and I, brethren, when I came to you,
-
did not come with excellence or speech or of wisdom,
-
declaring to you the testimony of God. For I determine
-
not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and
-
him crucified. Paul came. You know what did Paul come
-
because he went? We were looking for some really fantastic answer. No,
-
Paul came because he went. And the thing is this,
-
we will not go if we stay. You know, if
-
you remain in bed, nothing gets done. Some of us
-
we love to sleep, right, nothing gets done. You know
-
the when when when uh Jesus told us to go
-
into the world and preach the gospel and make disciples
-
that cannot be achieved if we stay in bed. You see,
-
Paul had a purpose. He went out, and because he
-
went out, he came to a certain place. You know,
-
we we we just had a you know, wonderful missions
-
conference yesterday. It's truly inspirational and missions are something that
-
I never really wanted to to share on because I
-
felt that I had never done missions before, right, And
-
as I was preparing for this message, the Lord said,
-
you are incorrect. Huh you mean I've been on missions before?
-
He said, yes. When Lord, you see, when I went
-
to Singapore to study, I was just a Christian for
-
a few months until that's all I knew was Jesus saves.
-
And when I went to Singapore, you know what I did.
-
I shared the word with all my Singaporean friends. Do
-
you know I was on missions? Even I didn't know.
-
It came as a complete surprise to me. But you see,
-
then the Lord said, isn't that what missions is? You
-
get up and go. So when you went to this place,
-
what did you do? You shared who? You shared Jesus?
-
And actually I only knew that Jesus saves, you know.
-
But then the Lord helped me with something else. Remember
-
I used to tell you that I stayed in the
-
church hostel, and so after school every night, between nine
-
and two or three a m. I will be praying
-
together with the pastor in church for deliverance cases of
-
those that were under the oppression of evil spirits. And
-
then I would go to school and the next day
-
the next day, when I went to school, I would
-
tell my friends all the things that had happened in church.
-
You know, I saw this, and you know, we were
-
praying for this guy. And then the three since says
-
came to the church gate, and as they were about
-
to take a step into the church, the three of
-
them fainted. And then they get up, and they got
-
up and they ran away. You saw that, yes, with
-
my very own eyes, because the power of God is real. Now,
-
I didn't see any of them except for actually one
-
person or one person accepted the Lord while I was there.
-
But all my other good friends, I did not see
-
them except the Lord. Twenty five thirty years later, I
-
find that they are church builders among them. There are
-
missionaries among them. There's even a pastor among them. And
-
they will talk to me about how there was an
-
influence of what I said in that decision. You see,
-
you and I we are and we can be missionaries.
-
You know, the Bible says that Jesus said, you will
-
be witnesses to me and jud Russa Lam and then
-
Erusalem is where Jerusalem is like a houseler. It's like
-
your little town in Klanger. When I first became a Christian,
-
I shed Jesus and as a result of that, two
-
people came to the Lord. And then these two people
-
brought another two people. And these two people brought another
-
two people. And then my friends and my brothers were
-
getting safe. Why because the people eye witnessed. When eye
-
witnessed my brothers, you think they accepted the Lord. No,
-
they hit me. They fought with me. So if you
-
can't do it directly, you do it in directly life.
-
You share with their friends, get them to become Christians,
-
and get them. Okay, you're going to talk to my
-
brother and then they became Christians. You see. This is
-
the way it works. So in Jerusalem, then in Judy
-
and Julia, because when to Clare, went went from there,
-
went to k l you know, we shared friends there
-
while work and talk to them about the Lord. So
-
in care Now and then Samiria, sing Singapore, it starts
-
with the same letters, you know. And then to the
-
ends of the earth. So I don't know whether the
-
ends of the earth yet, lah, but never mind. At
-
least I got the first three. It works. It works,
-
you see, you have to go so anyway, that was
-
the Lord correcting me. So I said to myself. If
-
I'm going to share with the church about missions, I
-
better go on missions. So for my first mission trip,
-
I decided I'm not going to go nearby. I'll pick
-
one difficult place. I'll tell Passa Senda, send me there.
-
Or if you're going to do it once, you have
-
to at least give it a good goal. So I
-
told Pasta Sender, I will go to Lake Toba five
-
hours of driving in a car that rocks your brain
-
and fries your brain. So anyway, Passa Sandra said no, no, no,
-
you're too old for that trape. No, I'll send you
-
to Bakassi. And I went to Bakassi to be led
-
by my chief there, Michelle, she was my leader. We
-
went to Bakassi. I have not spoken Bahassa in ages.
-
You guys got to know that when you go, it's
-
not you the Lord helps you. It is the Lord
-
that gives you grace. It's the Lord that empowers you.
-
So if you don't go, you will never see how
-
God is going to use you. What little old me
-
yes you? So I went and I and I thought
-
to myself, okay, I'm going to keep quiet. Firstly, because
-
it's Bahassa sekiranaa saychuk up down a Bassa Malaysia. Turn
-
to our Akan Karana Basasi, Bukan Basa, Tapi Basadi buku
-
okrani side Jarang Jacob Bahasa Malaysia. So ten years right,
-
I had not spoken Basa. I thought, I'll be quiet.
-
I will let all the Bassa geniuses. You know we
-
had elder roads bass genius. Let all of them talk.
-
You know, you can make your plans, but God will
-
have his way. So we went visitation. Remember we went visitation,
-
and I thought I'd better keep quiet. So the guys,
-
the people there, they tell their story. So I thought
-
I'll keep quiet and lo and beholder. The Lord has
-
a different idea. Suddenly I started to counsel them in Malay,
-
speaking the word of God to them, prophesying in the
-
name of Jesus. And it shocked even me. I said,
-
where is this coming from? You know the Lord can
-
do this. You know. We went to one place and
-
the people were about to lose their house. Remember they shack,
-
we are going to be here for a few more days.
-
They're kicking us out. The word of the Lord came
-
and I shared with them what to do. It was
-
just the Lord was just speaking and speaking and speaking.
-
One week later, Pastor Franz writes back and said, miracle
-
of miracles, the bank came back to them with such
-
a glorious deal it shocked everybody. They kept their house.
-
The Lord is able to do it. You know, when
-
you go, you will begin to see how much God
-
has blessed you. You know, we saw people who were
-
painted silver kids. The place is so poor that what
-
these kids do is they paint themselves from head to
-
toe in silver paint. You know, the kind of silver
-
paint you paint rusty metal. They pint that on your skin,
-
head to toe, and they go begging for food. We
-
gave food in the night, and we gave food at lunchtime.
-
We prepared about one hundred and ten pecks in the
-
night and maybe a hundred packs in the day. And
-
one would think it would take a long time, right
-
in five minutes it was all gone. There were people
-
there who lived in a cart. They call the cat people.
-
Their cat is maybe as white as this, maybe two
-
and a half feet deep, maybe two and a half
-
feet long. And the man pulls his wife and his
-
child in that cart. That is their house. These are
-
poor people. And you should see the love of Exebacassi
-
for these people. The pastor Franz knows them by name
-
and they know him. There's an opportunity for them to
-
know Jesus Christ. You know, the first thing that Jesus
-
said was I've come to help the poor. Do you
-
know why, because if you don't feed the belly, they're
-
not going to listen to what you say about Jesus Christ. Guys,
-
we have to live like Jesus Christ is coming again.
-
We're so concerned about our jobs. We're so concerned about
-
where money is coming from. Let me tell you what
-
Jesus thinks about our jobs. Do you remember when Peter
-
denied Jesus and then of course all those things happen,
-
and he was so sad about it. Right, of course
-
he had seen that, you know, Jesus Christ had risen again.
-
But what did he do. He went back to fishing,
-
He went back to his vocation, his job catching fish.
-
And you remember what happened. He tried all night to
-
catch fish and he caught nothing. And Jesus came in and said, hey,
-
why didn't you throw down the net on this side
-
of the boat. And when he threw the net. They
-
pulled up so much fish that he couldn't contain. And
-
then Peter said, it's the master, and he jumped into
-
the water and he ran towards or he swam towards Jesus.
-
And guess what happened. Jesus was seated there with fish
-
on the fire. You think there were people who went
-
around selling fish. Hey, the fisherman hadn't caught anything online. Okay,
-
they were the ones who sold fish. They caught nothing,
-
But Jesus had fish on the fire. What was the fish?
-
The fish was the income of the fisherman. What was
-
important to the fisherman? Jesus already had on the fire.
-
You worried about your children, He's got it on the fire.
-
You worried about your job, He's got it on the fire.
-
You worried about money, He's got it on the fire.
-
You worried about relationships, He's got it on the fire.
-
You worried your house is going to go, He's got
-
it on the fire. You know what it means by
-
he's got it on the fire what you consider important.
-
He's already taken care of what you struggled all night with.
-
He's got it ready for you guys. You and I
-
got a realizer that when we meet Jesus, he's not
-
gonna ask us how much of money we got on
-
the bank. He's not gonna ask us, hey, do you
-
have ten houses? Twelve houses? How good are they? How big?
-
Is he gonna ask us? That He's only gonna ask
-
us what did you do for me? See, we are
-
concerned about the things that he's already got on the fire?
-
Did it? All this from Paul came because he went
-
so we should never remain stagnant, because when we remain stagnant,
-
nothing gets done. You and I were never meant to
-
stand still. The only time we stand still is to
-
know that He is God. But we were always meant
-
to move forward because Jesus commands us to go. Wow.
-
You know, Paul said, I did not come to you
-
with excellent speech. You know, there was no motive to
-
impress on his part. You think it's so important to
-
impress one another. Paul was not interested in that. Paul
-
was not interested with giving people a good impression about himself.
-
You know, Pastor Elvin called it right today. I don't
-
know whether you saw me pointing at you when you
-
said that I pointed out, like, you know why, because
-
in my spirit I felt that there was a heaviness
-
here and we had not broken through yet the same
-
feeling he had, and he took care of it. How
-
do we ensure that we never faced this kind of
-
situation when we come to church. I'll tell you that
-
Noah motive to impress Paul did not come to show
-
his superiority. Was Paul superior? You better believe it, superior
-
to whom superior to those that don't believe, superior even
-
to those that believe. Why, Because he's calling, he was living,
-
is calling out. He was doing what's right. He was praying,
-
he was believing. It's trusting, he's honoring, he was obeying God.
-
If we are believing, trusting, obeying God, we are on
-
the same level as him. But Paul was not there
-
to show how superior he was. He did not come
-
with wisdom. You know when scripture says he didn't come
-
with wisdom. The word is a philosophy, Okay, the word
-
is philosophy. No philosophy, you know what is philosophy? How
-
many of you know who have you heard of? Aristotle?
-
Who was the other guy? Okay? Aristotle was the great
-
philosopher right in history. We all know you are great philosopher.
-
Can any of you tell me anything? He said, Can
-
any of you tell me anything? That? Aristotle said, chances
-
are none of us can write. Any philosophy students here? No, okay,
-
praise the Lord. There was a philosophy student. I met
-
them about two weeks ago. I said, can you tell
-
me anything? Aristotle said no. So you see, but you
-
and I can tell what Jesus said. I have not
-
come into the world to condemn the world, come to
-
save the world. Paul did not come to share a philosophy.
-
Was Paul intelligent? You better believe it. He was a scholar.
-
He wrote twenty six by twenty six Bibles. He wrote
-
twenty six books of the Bible. So was he intelligent?
-
You better believe it. Did he come to show his
-
intelligent of intelligence? Of no, he said, I'm coming not
-
to show you these things. That's what wisdom means. Okay,
-
But he says, I want to share with you the
-
testimony of God, which is what based on evidence. He
-
just wanted to talk about his divine God. He wanted
-
to give them an idea of who Jesus was. He
-
wanted to bring the church back from the ways of
-
doing things into a clarity of what Jesus was requiring.
-
Then Scripture says I was determined, That's what Paul said.
-
I was determined. Hey, you know what, I have made
-
a choice. I have made a firm declaration to myself.
-
I've decreed. So I was determined. I decreed Paul when
-
he came to the church, he was saying, I'm going
-
to share with you nothing but nothing that compares too.
-
I don't want to recognize anything. I don't want to
-
focus on anything. You know what he wanted to focus on.
-
He wanted to focus on Jesus and him crucified. You know,
-
I asked the Lord as I was walking to prepare
-
for this message. You know, no preacher worth his salt
-
comes up here and does not fear and tremble when
-
they give the word of God. Am I right, Pastor Irvin?
-
You know why? Because when we share the word of
-
God with you, it's an enormous responsibility. If we don't
-
do it right, we have robbed you of listening to
-
God's answer. And you think God holds that likely, He
-
is very, very firm that when we share the word
-
of God, you have to be blessed. If you're not
-
blessed because we have called it wrong, or we heard wrong,
-
or we were sharing something of our own imagination. He's saying,
-
you have robbed my people, and I will not let
-
you go. That is the responsibility. Moy is given, moy
-
is required. Guys, when we come up here to share
-
the word of God. It's not to show you how
-
intelligent we are, how articulate we are. He's got nothing
-
to do with that. It has everything to do with
-
bringing the word of God to you. And here Paul
-
was saying this, I was determined to know Jesus at
-
his weak moment. Why would Paul want to dig? Why
-
was Paul so determined to remember, recall and shared Jesus
-
at his weakest moment? You know, when Jesus was crucified.
-
Wasn't that his weakest moment. Why didn't Paul say I
-
was determined to share Jesus and him resurrected because that
-
was the moment of victory. Let me explain to you
-
how this can be. How many of you remember that
-
in nineteen okay, many of you were not born, But
-
for those of you with gray hair like me, or
-
no hair like me. Do you remember a runner in
-
nineteen sixty eight that made it to the Mexico Olympics,
-
Malaysian runner the hurdles one hundred and ten meters hurdles.
-
Do you remember guy by the name of Istambara? Remember that?
-
Do you know there was a Malaysian who actually got
-
to the one hundred and ten meter hurdle finals. Of course,
-
you may say, but he didn't win, right, no impact
-
in the story. Right, Let me give you the background story.
-
He met an accident, or rather, he didn't mean an accident.
-
An accident met him and crushed both his legs. He
-
was in hospital for months and the doctors said that
-
he would never run again. Imagine this how difficult it
-
must have been for him. He was trying his best
-
to become a world class runner and his legs were crushed.
-
You know what he did. This is just what his
-
sisters told me. They were my friends, he said. When
-
he got out of hospital, he struggled to walk, but
-
he would walk and then he would place a hurdle
-
six inches from the ground, and then he would go
-
and he would run over that six inch hurdle. And
-
he did that over and over and over again, and
-
then he raised that six inch hurdle a little bit higher,
-
and a little bit higher, and a little bit higher,
-
until one day he became the best hurdler in Asia.
-
It was after his accident. So now when you hear
-
this man's determination, it's a whole new meaning. There's another Okay,
-
I'm sorry I speak in terms of sportsmen. You all
-
do not know. Did I come from a different error. Okay,
-
there's another sportsman. His name is Thomas Master. He was
-
a champion tennis player. In fact, before Nadal, he was
-
the top clay coat specialist. He won French Open finals,
-
French Open couple of times, and nobody could beat him
-
on clay or right, just like nobody could beat Nadal
-
on clay. But before Nadal was Thomas Master. What's so
-
great about Thomas Master? Where he was taking out his
-
tennis records from his car and a drunk driver came
-
and slammed into his car, and his car went backwards
-
and crushed his legs. He spent months in hospital, and
-
you got to love doctors. They said he would never
-
play again, but he got up, he rehabilitated himself. He tried,
-
he tried, he worked, at it. He worked at it
-
took months, maybe even years. But guess what After that
-
he won the French Open. After that he became number
-
one in the world. When you hear that, then it
-
makes sense what a champion. Now let's look at Jesus.
-
Jesus was bashed up within an inch of his life.
-
He was torn to bits for you and me. When
-
they threshed him, they did a good job, trust me.
-
You know, when they put the cross on his back,
-
it wasn't smooth wooden. The carpenter didn't go and make
-
the wood smooth, put shack shalac and lacquer and shining
-
and all. It was nothing but splinters on his back.
-
And when he hung up there, he looked totally defeated,
-
totally stripped of every ounce of humanity and dignity. That
-
was Jesus. But you know why Paul said, I must
-
talk about it, because he did it for you and me.
-
You know, if Jesus didn't do that, most likely we
-
would be up on the cross like that. We would
-
have to bear the penalty, the you penalty for our
-
own sins. But Jesus took it upon himself, so we
-
and you and me we can have it easy. Then
-
he says this, Jesus died, and three days later he
-
rose again. The resurrection only means something when you remember
-
the quality of his death. The resurrection only has special
-
meaning when you recognize the terrible circumstances he went through.
-
Only then it has impact. And Paul was determined to
-
know Jesus at his weakest. You know, the measure of
-
a man is a package deal. It's not just about
-
his success, it's about how and what he did in
-
order to get there. Jesus, in order to get a
-
name above every name, had to go through this Jesus,
-
in order to have this situation where every niche shall
-
bow and every tongue confess that he is Lord. It
-
could only happen because he was obedient all the way.
-
Without the tough stuff, there's no glory. How many of
-
us expecting to just have everything work so well and
-
so easy and so smoothly in our life. If that's
-
what we want of life, let me tell you there's
-
no glory in it. The glory only happens because you
-
go through the tough stuff, and will Jesus help you absolutely.
-
The last time I was here, I remember telling you
-
that I will let you know what happened. I took
-
an international organization on, you know, multi billion dollar organization,
-
me against them. I want, I want. I can't tell
-
you what it is, but I want. Will Jesus help you? Absolutely?
-
It's a package deal. You won't get to glory unless
-
you suffer. Yes, sir, Yes, there's always the wilderness before
-
there's the oasis. You cannot know one without the other,
-
all right, So our focus must be on Jesus. Why
-
because he took across, he took her punishment. What an
-
immen's love? Man, Guys, whenever you're having a difficulty in
-
worshiping the Lord, remember what he did for you. You'll
-
change just like that. That's how you could have broken
-
whatever was hanging over your head this morning. What an
-
immen's love sacrificing for people like us who are women?
-
I mean, what makes us so good? You know what
-
the Lord asked me, Terrence, what's so great about your face?
-
You know what the Love was actually telling me. All
-
these things that happened to you, it's got nothing do
-
to you. It's because I love you. It's not because
-
you're anybody great. Say thank you Lord. That takes a
-
lot of pressure off of me. So I don't have
-
to be great. I don't have to show something I'm not.
-
God can do it. He he can do it for me,
-
He can do it for you. You know, if you
-
take all the stories that I tell you and you
-
say this fullest, always talking about himself, You've got the
-
wrong message. You know what is the message? The message
-
I'm trying to get to you is if God will
-
do these things for me and I'm a nobody, he
-
will do it for you. Because God is the same
-
with everybody. He doesn't love me anymore that he loves you.
-
In fact, he loves you too. Why for God to
-
love the world that he gave, He's only be concern
-
that whosever believes in him, Sho'll not perish but have
-
everlasting The whosoever believes in him, You're not perish, but
-
have everlasting life. So guess that's what you qualify. You qualify.
-
It's the same love. So I tell those stories because
-
I want to encourage you that in your daily life
-
God is for you. Do you think God is for
-
you only to go and save somebody? Yes, he is,
-
but he's also for you because you're you. Hey, you
-
do things for your children only because you want them
-
to do things for you. Why is it you give
-
to your child? In fact, your child cannot give back
-
to you, at least for twenty one years. For twenty
-
one years you are giving to them after the degree.
-
After they get the degree, you hope they will give
-
you something back. Whether that happens or not, I don't know.
-
You'll be satisfied. Do they remember you for Father's Day,
-
Mother's Day and your birthday? True? Not? Okay those of
-
us who are allder parents true or not? Yeah? But
-
why is it for twenty odd years we can give
-
and give and give because you love. If Jesus starts
-
are faith, you think Jesus is uh someone who doesn't
-
finish the job. That's why it says he is the
-
Alpha and Omega, the starter and the finisher of our faith.
-
When he starts something, he brings it to pass completeness
-
in our lacking life today. That's why we focus on
-
Jesus satisfaction. We're nothing else, We're nothing else in the
-
world and satisfied. You know what Scripture says in verse
-
in chapter in uh uh okay? Can I read it? No,
-
it's not up yet, Okay? In chapter two, verse three.
-
Paul goes on to say this, I was with you
-
with much fear and trembling, or much fear, with much
-
fear and much trembling. Why would Paul tremble? I gave
-
you the answer just now. But you know he was
-
a brave guy. In fact, some people consider him a
-
god because when the when the poisonous snake bid him,
-
what did he do? Classic ramble? Shook it off into
-
the fire. Did need you do that? No? Just shook
-
it off into the fire. I mean, we made penicla,
-
but he didn't. What did they tell you about Paul?
-
He was a classic guy. He was a guy of strength. Hey,
-
he went through shipwrecks. You have to be somebody to
-
go through that kind of storm, ship breaking up into
-
all the kind of nasty waters and come out. Hey,
-
when they threw him into prisoner after beating him, he
-
can still sing. You know, he can still worship the lot.
-
And I loved this about Paul. You think it was
-
a weak character. What did he tell him? You think
-
you can put someone like me in prison? You get
-
your bosses to come and see me. And when the
-
bosses came, now say sorry, now lead me out. You
-
know what he was doing. He was making a public
-
spectacle of those people. I tell you a story. I
-
once when I was that time, I used to ride
-
my motorbike. So I came to my sister's house and
-
outside is the neighbor's dog. And the neighbor's dog came
-
and beat me on the lake. Fortunately I was wearing
-
thick jeans. Lad came and beat me on the lake.
-
You know I was my reaction. I looked at his dog, say,
-
you dare by me? Do you know who I am?
-
I am the son of the Lord of Lords, in
-
the King of Kings. How dare you like me? I
-
told that to the dog. Do you know what the
-
dog did? It went back to the corner, put its
-
head on the ground, and put over its head. I'm
-
not kidding you. You have to know who you are.
-
Power was no weakling. But yet he said with trembling,
-
and my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive
-
words of human wisdom, but in the demonstration of the
-
spirit and of power that you'll feach, not being the
-
wisdom of man, but the power of God. Let me
-
tell you something. When you come to church on a Sunday,
-
there's a responsibility that each and every one of you
-
plays in ensuring that the delivery of the Word comes
-
across with the anointing of the Holy Spirit. That is
-
your responsibility. Our responsibility is to pray and believe God.
-
You know, I ask the Lord Lord, I need to
-
wake up tomorrow at four am to pray. But I
-
set my alarm at five am. My eyes open when
-
I look at the clock four am. My first words are,
-
thank you, Lord. I get up and I go for
-
my morning walk, because it is in that morning walk
-
I'm praying for you. I'm praying for the service. I'm
-
worshiping the Lord. I'm praying for the message. I'm praying
-
for the annointing to come and change your lives. And
-
here the congregation is, and they don't take the responsibility
-
to ensure that the Word of God comes out. Well,
-
if you don't prepare, you'll run into difficulty, and we
-
will run into difficulty when scripture says and again he
-
shared a scripture which the Lord spoke to me this morning.
-
Deep cries out, too deep, do you know what that means?
-
It is your spirit when it is latched to the
-
Holy Spirit in prayer and believe that the Word of
-
God is going to come to you to change your life.
-
When the preacher comes up here, you will draw it
-
out from his spirit. I've done my part, I've prayed,
-
and I've asked the Lord to annoint me to share
-
with you. Have you done your path? Let me encourage
-
you to do your part so that every Sunday when
-
you come, the Word's going to change your life. So
-
if you ask me, what is this world going to
-
do for my life today, Well, Jesus died for you.
-
Paul was so convinced that Jesus was the answer he said,
-
I'm determined to share nothing but Him crucified, meaning that
-
you and I both know Jesus crucified, and I both
-
know and have the answer in Him to change our lives.
-
And this word is coming to you. So what do
-
you do receive that word? Lord? You are the one
-
who came, You suffered for me. So how dare this
-
problem come before me? You are the Lord of lords,
-
the king of kings. Nobody has this power to assert yours.
-
You speak to your problem and you say, get out,
-
in the name of Jesus. You will not hang over
-
my head. In the name of Jesus, leave me problem.
-
You speak to your circumstance, you go out, and when
-
you share the word, the Holy Spirit will take over.
-
I didn't tell you right. I had to prepare message
-
my word. I had to prepare message in Bassa. I
-
was so freaked out. I wrote the whole message down,
-
typed it, and then went over it. Timed it. Okay,
-
forty five minutes, praised the Lord. I've not done that
-
for any other message. You can this message in in Indonesia.
-
I did. Then I put it on chat Gipt translating
-
Basa Indonesia came out fourteen pages, big for big phone,
-
big one. Now I got it. I would just you know,
-
read it. I get up and the Lord said, put
-
your paper away. Then I opened my mouth and I
-
start sharing, and I'm talking in Basa, talking, talking, talking, talking,
-
talking talking. Then I asked Elder Rose, hey, how am
-
I full time? I'm not like this young lady wh
-
puts up ten minutes. Nobody put up any sign for me.
-
So I asked, hi, am I I'm okay, yeah, yeah, yeah,
-
you got another five minutes. Okay. So I share the
-
word five minutes and then I come down. So it
-
wasn't long, right, forty five minutes. No, no, it was
-
one and a half hours. The message is wanting. Do
-
you know that the people didn't flinch. They were not
-
giving me the signals that it was boring. Their eyes
-
were open, they were receiving. They were just drawing it out.
-
The Lord will give you utterance. So our faith is
-
not in the wisdom of men, but in the power
-
of God. That's how we should be living in the
-
power of God. You know my life is so encouraged
-
by what the Lord did for that big situation. Every
-
time I see the blessing, say, I cannot believe God
-
that you made this one person, me and ordinary nobody.
-
We're now over an international, multi billion dollar company. How
-
is that even possible? In God, all things are possible.
-
So why would Paul fear and tremble? You know, this
-
was a man was troubled by the demon said come
-
out leave. He wasn't afraid of demons. He was able
-
to sing and pray in chains. He stood up to
-
the council, he told them come in, apologize to me.
-
He could survive shipwrecks, this is Paula. He could survive
-
snake bites. Guys, do you believe that the Holy Spirit
-
can help you. What's your issue? Man? What issue did
-
you have that God cannot overcome. What's the biggest problem
-
you have in your life? You can't find a partner.
-
If God knows everybody on earth, if you actually believe
-
and you ask him, he will find one for you.
-
I mean all the may will always last when I
-
tell my story, to tell my story about her. But
-
we prayed for three and a half years before she
-
even said yes. And when she said yes, yesays I
-
don't love you, but I'm saying yes because the Lord
-
said I'm to marry you. I said, don't worry, you
-
trust the Lord. And in the short world, the love will come.
-
Because I prayed, Ma, the Lord told me yes. So
-
by the second day she was hit over heels in
-
love with me. See the difference is that I sought
-
the Lord. She sought the Lord. We got the Lord's answer.
-
We've been married now for thirty Next January will be
-
thirty nine years. I think thirty eight years and thirty
-
seven years then something like that. Hey, you want to
-
know something. We still don't do things apart. Okay, after
-
all this time, we still go on holidays together. We
-
still if the other party is not around. We don't
-
like you know, for me to come here and she
-
being another planter is a very big thing, is a
-
very big thing for us because we don't separate like that.
-
Why because God founder is a partner. We believe God could,
-
he did, and we're here. You know, guys, why do
-
you look down on yourself? You know, why do you
-
look down on yourself? I am who I am? Says
-
I am. Remember I told you that was title of
-
a good Country in Western song. I haven't written it yet.
-
I am who I am, says I am. Guys, you
-
are the anointed of the Lord. When you go, you
-
carry his presence. And here you want to stay in bed.
-
Nothing happens when you stay in bed. Get out, go
-
into the world and share the gospel. When Jesus comes
-
and he asks you, what did you do for me?
-
Say Lord, I mean I didn't share with millions of people,
-
But wherever I did, I say, yeah, yeah, yeah, I
-
know this person and he says, thank you for doing it. Guys,
-
you know how close we are to Jesus return. We
-
are so close. I just give you one, just one muscle.
-
Revelation says that we can't buy or sell if we
-
don't get the mark of the beast in the last days.
-
So we are thinking that the mark of a beast
-
is a little mark. It could be could we very
-
well be? But do you know that the technology is
-
already here. I have five minutes left. Okay, the technology
-
is already here. You know what it's called online. If
-
the banks decide to stop your account, there's nothing you
-
can do. There's nothing you can do once your cash
-
is finished. There is nothing you can do. You know,
-
you want to buy something from another country, you don't
-
have to go to the money changer online. It's done.
-
The capacity for it to happen is already here. You know.
-
I went to Chad Gibt. I know there's some videos
-
going around. I decided to check in myself, I said, Chadgybt.
-
Answer my questions. Make it plain and simple. Will you
-
be used as a tool of the Antichrist when he comes? Probably?
-
Is the Antichrist already here on earth? Probably? Have you
-
be programmed to be anti Christian? I cannot answer that question.
-
Let me ask you another question. I say, when the
-
time comes, will you go against Christians? Probably? Hey, it's
-
answering you. You know why. It's telling you for all
-
you know, Chad Gibt is the false prophet for all
-
you know, because now nothing gets done without AI. Correct.
-
You've got to be aware. You have to be aware.
-
You're going to ask Ai these questions. You'll be quite
-
surprised at some of the answers. And you know what
-
AI told me, so I answer. So that means you're
-
quite a dangerous tool. When the time comes and you
-
know what AI can answer, He said, that's true. But
-
always remember this, people have free choice. Do you know that?
-
That's its reply to me? While it can still reply
-
that way, it replies that way. The time will come
-
where it will only speak what the Antichrist puts into
-
it and trusts me. All its programmers do not believe
-
in Jesus Christ. Guys, we are living in the last days.
-
If you want to do something, make sure you do
-
something for Jesus Christ, and he will help you with
-
your own personal stuff. But do not just live your
-
life for yourselves. Paul was quite an amazing person. His
-
faith was not rooted in the wisdom and the ways
-
of man. His faith was rooted in God.
-
We must trust and believe Jesus for how we are
-
to live our lives. That is why I asked the
-
Lord everything, Lord, do I eat this? And he puts
-
it in my heart?
-
Yes or no. The other day I went to Clang.
-
It was late, the restaurants were closing. Only this one
-
restaurant was open, and I was so hungry, and in
-
my heart the Lord said, don't eat, my Lord, I'm
-
so hungry, so I ate. Next day I suffered, But
-
this time alda Able didn't suffer. No, because the Lord
-
told me and didn't tell her. I should have known better.
-
Everything where you go, I go before my work. Lord
-
helped me with my work today. You know my prayer
-
every day is help me find favor with all those
-
that I work with. Why do I pray that? Because
-
you know the enemy can use people around you. Why
-
even in churchia, the person has an off day. Mabila,
-
You have to trust in the anointing that God brings
-
along with you. So if you've forgotten everything, you can't
-
remember anything that I've said today, Just remember these one
-
or two things. Number one, make sure you do something
-
for the Lord, okay, because ultimately he's the one you
-
need to please. Number two, always remember that Jesus was
-
crucified because when you remember he was crucified, you will
-
remember he died. And when you remember he died, you
-
will remember he was buried, and then what happened. He
-
rose again. So your situation will never remain bad as
-
long as you're believing in Jesus and you can turn
-
every situation around, nothing remains the way that it is.
