What I Do Have - I Give To You | Pr Alvin Keng

You're listening to a message to go from X Church. We hope this message

will light up your day. If you've got your Bibles with you, either

electronic or physical, please learn to except the three okay, X chapter three.

This is a partial scripture that is not alien to us. And recently

I have been I don't know what you call it, a nudging, I've

been nudged. I've been It keeps coming back to me, this line,

you know, And and this story in the Bible and X chapter three X.

Chapter three is a time where it was after the church has been established,

right, Jesus went up to heaven ready, and then he gave the

disciples the last commandment commission. And then after that Peter preach, and three

thousand was safe. And then after that they formed the church. Okay,

that's what happened. And let me read. Let me read the scripture,

you guys, Okay, can I okay? Acts Chapter three, verse one

to ten. Okay, that's what we're gonna read, he says. He.

Now, Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour

of prayer, the ninth hour. Okay, this is about three o'clock in

the afternoon. Let me share some other notes data. I learned a few

interesting things from this scripture. And a certain man lame from his mother's womb,

was carried whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple, which

is called beautiful, to ask for arms from those who entered the temple,

who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, ask for arms,

and fixing his eyes on him and joined, Peter said, look at

us, right, so he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something

from them. Then Peter said, silver and gold I do not have.

But what I do have, I give you in the name of Jesus Christ

of Nazareth. Rise up and walk. Wow, it's powerful. And he

took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet

and ankle bones received strength. A miracle just happened. So he leaping up,

stood and walked and entered into the temple with them, walking, leaping

and praising God. And if you've been in children's ministry, there is a

song walking and lipping and praising God some familiar rights you don't familiar. It's

okay, right that what happened, And all the people saw him walking and

praising God. Then they know knew that it was he who sat begging arms

at the beautiful gate of the temple, and they were filled with wonder and

amazement at what had happened to him. Okay, so if you are the

type that writes notes, I hope that you all will start writing notes.

It's quite good, actually to write notes and remember, because sometimes it's very

hard to remember what was pretty last week. Right, So I said,

personal responsibility of your own faith. Right, silver and gold I do not

have, But what I have I give to you. That's the title.

Right, I'm gonna go back to extrapt the tree. Peter said, silver

and gold I do not have, but what I do, what I do

have, I give to you in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

Rise up and walk. And he took him by the right hand and lift

the name up. And immediately his feet and ankle bows received strike. Okay,

let's learn some things from this scripture. Okay, let's do a little

bit about a Bible study and learn some things. How many of you have

heard this before? Can you live with your hand? I mean, you've

heard this story before? Hey, don't we Shina, Come on, guys.

You know, yeah, yeah, you've heard it before. Okay,

the rest about half fifty percent? Sorry what last week? Oh? Really?

Yeah? The same message? Wow, praise God. Hey, it's

a glenna. You know. They say if you have to listen to a

message twice means that you haven't done it yet. That's why I heard.

I remember a story about a pastor in America and it's so interesting, you

know, and he's this about, you know, he preached the message and

he kept preaching the message for the for one week, the same message,

and then one of the church members got really upset came up to him and

say, Passa, can you please stop preaching the same message? You know?

Why do you pray the same message? He said, Well, because

I share you the first time, but you didn't do it, so I

have to share you again and again and again. You know. It's very

interesting how you know we receive God's word because God's word is something that needs

to be practiced. Amen. It needs to be something that we have to

apply, not just listen to our years feel good about it and let's say

no, it's something that we got to experience, right, I just pray.

I don't know what you will received from this. I didn't talk to

bassa man, but let's see if he's similar or I hope you guys catch

something. Maybe it's a hoop. I don't know. So Peter and John

went to pray the ninth hour. It's about three pm. It's the third

prayer of the day. Okay. Also the time it was also the time

where Jesus died on the cross. Jesus died at about three pm. Right,

it was a normal practice for the Jews to be praying three times a

day. That's a normal practice. And they derived that before Jesus time.

They derived that from learning from uh, you know, David and Daniel.

Okay, so there is a normal practice. They will do three times a

day prayer. One one at about nine am, the third hour six hour,

twelf pm, and the ninth hour three pm. That's where they will

go and they will prayer. Okay. And what happened a lay man?

Since birth? Okay? The medical term, I think it's congen Why sorry,

yeah, let me try and say this properly. Congenital birth defect.

Okay, Congenital birth defect, okay, physical birth defect. Right. Other

examples of conginental birth effect are like down syndrome. So when someone's born like

that, right, you know, I thought it's a very interesting point because

when someone's born like that, and especially in those days, right, the

perception is like, oh, maybe your parent's seen maybe all these something wrong.

You know, there's this perception hovering over the person. And when someone

is born like that, right and not created not not like accident or anything,

sometimes we feel like the healing is harder because you know, you were

born like that, you know, God mean you like thatm right. Sometimes

that can be the perception that we have when we talk about conginental birth defect,

right, because you were not whole and then something happened to you.

You have been like at all this while right, So probably harder to imagine

that the person can get healed. Okay, And he was sitting at the

beautiful gate. Okay, and the beautiful gate. You know, I was

thinking myself, why beautiful get why Actually it's very practical beautiful gay because it

was at the main gate. Is there a photo that I asked for the

okay? Okay, wow, okay, great, So this is the temple,

right, and the beautiful gate is here here, it's the main gate.

You know before they you know, they haven't even get actually they can

go into the devile with different even get one right. Like it's like it's

like, yes, you know, that's the main entrance and then the side

entrance, so they can go to all the entrances. But this guy decided

to sit at the main gate, the beautiful gate, they call you beautiful

gate. Don't ask me why. I didn't do any like, didn study

on it, but basically I thought, well, very practical. You see

in the main gate law you want to see people and bag for arms.

Right, it's the most strategic place, right to be at the main gate

asking for money, right, And this guy has been doing it every day.

That's his job, you realize is his job? Why is this so

significant? But ever, it's significant. It was not some random guy by

the street. This guy was there. Everybody knew him. Everybody that come

to the temple to pray saw this guy at the gate. Okay, and

then this thing happened. He asked for arms, and Peter even said look

at us, indicating that they are not really or I am nothing earthly.

I'm just thinking myself. Right, So interesting, this guy is begging,

asking for money, and they will normally. I mean, I don't know

why that. You've experienced people who ask for cash or want to buy you

know, they don't really they don't really look at what you wear. One.

They just want something out of you. At the end of the day,

they will ask you for anything, right. They're not there to scam

you. They're just begging for arms, you know. And that was his

job because if he doesn't get it and people don't give it to him,

then he, I don't know, know fool to it. Nowadays, of

course we've got like syndicate and all this kind of funny stuff. Okay,

and imagine going to the beck and saying, look at me, what do

I know? I have anything to give to you? Right? But the

wonderful thing about this encounter was Peter's response. And I want to pause here

for a moment to ask you, what will you do in such a situation?

Will you like Hella takes some money, laugh, you know, take

some money and that's it, bye bye. You know, personally, when

I encounter people like that, most of them don't give one And let's got

really covered with my heart, right, But that's about it. But it's

interesting how Peter responded he said, silver and go he said. He first

said, look at me, and then the guy like look at him,

thinking right, yes, still expecting something right, still expecting themthing. And

Peter immediately and I tell you it's so interesting this line. Silver and gold

I do not have. I'm so sorry. I got the money, but

I have something that I can give to you. He didn't even say I

got something greater, I got something more powerful. It wasn't a setup,

no, guys, it was just you asked me for money. I don't

have money, but let me give you what I have. Don't you think

that Peter was confident and what he had that he could give? How many

of us here are confident at what we have as our faith that we can

pray for someone else? That's my question for us. Some of us,

Yeah, we have been believers for very long. Ready, can I encourage

us today? Can I encourage us? Right? Peter was very confident.

And later I explained to you why he was very confident. There was a

reason why he was confident. Peter was very confident, and he didn't just

say he said, and it was very clear. He said, silver and

I don't have, but what have you give to you? He said,

let's go back to that. Immediately he said, in the name of Jesus

Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk, and he took him by the

hand and he lifted him out. No, guys, I don't wonder you

guys are feeling me or not. Okay, he takes a lot of faivor

to hold a hand of a lame person. I don't know how lame he

was. He got no fee. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't want the situation. Maybe we got feed Maybe it looked like you

know, continental birth defect. Don't look pretty or no, I don't think

he had all his limbs. Maybe his leger was so skinnier that it doesn't

look like he can walk. So imagine this guy, come, okay,

I'm going to someone one who cannot walk right, and maybe the lakes looks

like like, you know, there's no muscle. And I literally say,

rise up and wall and pull him up now, and he immediately got up.

Now. Well, the amount of faith, man, the amount of

faith that Peter had that this guy can be here, the mount of faith

that Peter had right using in USU's name, that's very powerful. So what

did bitter have. What did Peter have? That was the question I was

thinking about. The first thing I can derive that was that Peter had the

Holy Spirit X one. It says, but you shall receive power when the

Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be witness first to me

in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the

earth. Friends, I asked you a question today, do you have the

Holy Spirit? I believe you do. I believe you do. Peter had

the Holy Spirit. Second thing that maybe helped Peter have a bit more faith

was that he walked with Jesus. Lave so be unfair, okay, but

Peter walked with Jesus. He that was not the first time Peter hit someone.

Now do you know that. Let me bring you to the first time

where they had internship. Meant you chapter ten, verse five to ten,

right, And I was I was searching, and this is the part where

Jesus sent out his chielth disciples. And I know there's a scripture in Luke

chapter ten that says he sent out the seventy disciples. But then if you

go to Luke nine, he sent out the child first. So in a

way. I'm looking at it, and I'm like, that's probably the first

time they went out, and he gave them very specific instructions. XI.

Do you have it, Matthew, Chapter ten, verse five to ten.

He said, okay, this child Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying,

do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter

the city of Samaritans, but go right to the last cheer of the house

Israel. So so it's rest specific. He said, don't go out anywhere,

go to the Jews first. But there was very specific. We all

know why. Later later on they were opening the door to the Gentiles.

Okay, but as and as you go preach saying the Kingdom of God is

at hand, because that's what Jesus came to do. He came to tell

us that God's kingdom is at hand. Right, heal the sick POWERFULA imagine

I go to doctor Jason, I said, Jason, go out right,

two by two, preach heal the cigar. How would Jason react? He'll

be like, but you have been doing healing all this world. You're asking

me to do it now? Sure? No, I cannot be La,

No, I know as holy as you La but you go holy spread right

Lison, heal the singer, cleanse the lepers? Are you know what leap

is? Okay? I won't go into detail. Raise the data. It's

getting harder and harder. Castile demons are so you see a casting out divers

is harder than raising the day and that line that is so powerful. Freely

you have received, freely give? Friends, this freely you have received,

freely give? Is this a practice in your life? A lot of us

we have received many things from Christ. A lot of us, as we

pray and receive many things from from God, have we been giving? I'm

not talking about the churcha I'm talking about around you. Today's generation is a

generation that once one one's skates, but sometimes we forget to freely give.

So my encouragement is freely as you are received, freely gave. Saw You

might think, oh, by God, nothing to give passa don't worry.

Peter Johno said nothing to give, But they gave the guy something that changed

his life. Friends, they didn't give him gold, on they gave him

silver. They gave him something that changed his life. Carry on, provide

neither gold nor silver nor a copper in your money belts so go out do

all these crazy things, and I give you the hardest thing to do.

Don't bring money with you. Actually, that might be the hardest thing for

some of us. Ha here no problem has out, demons can no problem.

But don't bring money with me here they cannot. I need at least

my debit cut. You know how to provide. And then he said in

mantuage six stey three sicky first to kid of God and all she be aned

to you. Look your father in heaven. He clothed the ladies in the

field, and he feeds the birds in the air. What more you who

are more important? Not back for your journey, Not too tunics, nor

sentdals, nor stuffs for a worker. It's worthy of his food. So

Peter already had internship. I don't know why he did. They didn't specify,

But based on what I see Jesus and do, He's done crazier things

and help a layman. That's why he was confident. So I know I

challenge your just now, guys, do you have holy spirit? Friends?

Can I give you a secret? The only way for you to grow in

your faith is to experience God. The only way for you to grow in

your faith, and to believe in healing is to be able to experience it.

So start believing, start practicing. Start praying for your headache, start

praying for your flu, start praying for your friend. Start practicing, and

when the healing happens, you will be encouraged. But you've got to start

somewhere. We've got to start somewhere. After the hour of prayer, Pastor

had this crazy thing, and in acts, we still believe that people be

healed during our worship worship, Ma, during our worship worship team, hear

me out. That's what we believe because we believe, not believe we very

power. We believe that God's presence is power enough that when His presence come

down, everyone herell be healed. That's what we believe. That's the conviction

we have. It's not us, it's God. Right. But we gotta

practice, Ma, we gotta practice. You gotta practice your faith. So

Peter had practice, right, probably did it twice, one the twelfth and

another one the seventy. He really had practice. And do you know that

Peter was a man that God developed or Peter was a man that grew in

his character and faith? Who was he? He was a fisherman. He

was uneducated, he didn't have anything to his name. He had nothing.

So, friends, if you're here and you feel like you have nothing,

look at Peter. I think some of you are better than him. He

was brash, even to the day where Jesus already ready won them, told

them I need to go to the cross. I'm gonna die anyway. You

know I'm gonna get He already won them, and Peter had to be the

one they're going to cut that year, you know, and you you know,

you don't know. The interesting thing? You read all the gospels,

right, I think I saw this somewhere. Every gospel from Matthew, Mark

Luke right didn't specify wish disciple, but John specified. So I think maybe

they got something against each other. John was Peter the one that didn't you

know. He was such a messed up guy, don't you think? But

God said on this rock, I will build my church. What proof more

is that that God uses the foolish to make the wise look foolish. God

uses the weak God usus, the one that has nothing, because God wants

to be glorified. Friends, can I encourage you today their their moment of

internship and Peter used the right method. What was the method in Jesus' name?

These hows significance. I know a lot of us we just pray in

Jesus name after saying grace. But let me share you. I hope I

can give you a little bit of weight in this name called Jesus. But

we hear it being used right now by Hollywood as a cussword. Do you

know that there should be more reverence in Jesus name? John fourteen, Child

fourteen says, most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in

me, the works that I do, he will do also, and greater

works than this he will do. Because I go to my Father, And

whatever you ask in my name that I will do that the Father may be

glorified in the sun. If you ask anything in my name, I will

do it. Let me ask you a question. Does everyone here believe in

Christ? This group? Does everyone here believe in Christ? Do you believe

in Christ? Do you believe in Christ? It said here in his word,

he who believes in me, the works that I do, he will

also do, and greater works than this he will do. Because Jesus is

not here. Really, he went to the Father. It is a promised.

Friends, I hope after this this week, when you're praying for someone,

you have a little bit more faith and belief that your prayer is powerful,

not because of you, but because your praying in Jesus name. Whether

you're praying for yourself, whether you're praying for someone. It is not us

that qualifies It's God that qualifies us. But we are using the name of

Jesus Amen. John fifteen sixteen says, you do not choose me, but

I chose you and appointed you. Some of you probably didn't choose him.

By he's telling you he chose you, that you should go and bad fruit,

that your fruit should remain. That whatever you ask the Father in my

name, he will give to you. John sixteen twenty street ten and four

says, and in that day you will ask me nothing. Most assuredly,

I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my name, we're

asking who, asking God, asking God in Jesus name, he will give

you. He will know. There's no other qualification that I can read here

besides a spray in Jesus name, and he will give Until now you have

asked nothing in my name. Oh, how true is that statement? For

some of us here. Ask and you will receive that your joy may be

bountiful. Are you in a place where it's a dark, dark place?

Are you feeling stressed out? Can I encourage you today? Ask in Jesus

name. Don't have to wait for a pastor pray for your can we can

help people, We can pray for people, We can ask on your behalf.

But I'm trying to encourage you. Ask yourself. Also, we're powerful

one, We're powerful one. Amen. So Peter acted in faith and he

took the lame man by his right hand and lifted him up. The man

was seeking for arms, but he received something greater than that. People who

knew the man, he probably said that every day they were amazed. Yeah,

they knew. Imagine I don't know. Okay, we don't see each

other every day, but imagine one of our brother's scissors here. We are

so used to seeing them and they have a challenge, and then one day

this miracle happened. Don't you think we will all be a maceed, We

will all be a maze, we will all be amazed. We were like

what happened? Right? And the people ran to Peter and John. No,

but you want to know the beautiful thing. Peter directed them to God

because God is glorified, not us. Not mean, if anything happens here,

it is not Elvin King that's glorified. It is God that's glorified,

because he deserves all the glory. Eteen sixteen says the God of Abraham,

Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified his serving Jesus,

whom you delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilot when he was determined

to let him go. But you denied the Holy One and the Just and

asked for a murderer to be granted to You know the story, right,

Okay, this just happened recently. What I mean in that Timela just recently

only and killed the Prince of Life, who of God raised from the death

of which we are witnesses, and his name, through faith in his name

has made this man strong whom you see. And now, yes, the

faith which comes through him has given him this perfect soundness. In the presence

of you all, Peter was doing what he was witnessing. He was witnessing.

He was bearing witness of Jesus Christ to the people that rejected him.

They were searching for the miracle. They were looking for the healing. Oh

you heal this guy? Can you pleasee me also? And Peter directed them,

Look, it is not me, you know, it is this guy.

Jesus rejected. You want a healing, you receive him. You can

receive your healing. It is true Christ only, it is not true the

works of men. Peter was brave to share what was current and what happened

recently. Do you know it was rare current? They probably got They could

have been there. I don't know a lie they were. It was probably

so crazier that that thing happened now that whatever Peter said, they'll probably receive

it if you think about it. Right, It was such a crazy thing

that happened that whatever Peter said, they'll be like, okay, that makes

sense, right. But he was brave. He didn't hide it. He

shared what happened. Guys, you rejected Jesus. He actually came to save

us. Rejected him. How the people rejected Jesus, but they were ignorant.

But they now have a second chance. Friends, all of us here

have a second chance. Can I tell you a secret. I had more

than one second chance. I have many second chances. There are many times

I could have rejected God. There are many times I could have given up.

There many times that iquy have just said no. But God comes through

time and time again. He comes through time and time again because He loves

us, and yes, some of us here. We might be in this

season where it's challenging. We might be in this season that we have not

seen the way out. Can I let you know that Christ is there because

he is a hoping glory. The tunnel may be dark, but there's always

a light at the end of the tunnel. We just got to keep going

through that light. Amen. Peter preached and witness. After this miracle,

he went to seal the deal. He knew he got their attention. Very

very strategic, very strategic. Do you know that God is very strategic in

your life? Nothing happens by chances to one friends, we think it happens

by chance, But if you look back in your life, and recently I

was reflecting back in my own life, and I'm like, wow, Lord,

nothing happens by chance. Let me show you something interesting. So I'm

married Kuta, right, I'm a Chinese guy, but I'm very comfortable with

my Indian friends. Because I grew up with Indian friends. Right. I

like Bollywood so much, right that my mom was worried I get married to

Indian girl. I can you not Okay, to be really honest, that

almost happened in college but didn't happen. Okay, almost, but didn't happen.

Right, I'm very comfortable and I always joke with you because I'm from

playing. I say, I'm half Indian, right, and I'm very thankful

for you know, people like Joel and all that. I can you know,

hang out and be Indian, Okay, because my wife is super Chinese.

I just had to educate my wife because we were day think I took

out to eat Indian food at brick Fields because she's staying nearby, thinking that

she goes there often, not realizing that actually a lot of Chinese famies do

this, right, they just ate a homeman. They don't go at you.

So she So I taught my wife what is to rabah for the first

time in her life, and so far that's the favorite thing that she liked

every time she goes to You know, well, mama might not have flats

certain Indian shops and you have. Why am I showing you this. We

are exploring the possibility of planting ex Temel fellowship, and I have the privilege

to be a little bit involved in it. Let's just say that I had

the privilege to help make things happen. I'm probably not going to join it

because I don't know that mail, right, I watched, I watched the

subtitles. Uh, different ones might be involved in it. But I have

a chance to be involved. And I'm super comfortable, right, and I'm

learning Indian words like so, actually, we're gonna call it x temelkutem okay

Kuta means gathering right, readia. You see, I'm learning things. I

still learned a new word yesterday. I learned jawan. We should be Jawan's

for Christ? Right, So just so, just am I using it correctly?

A lot? No, I'm so sorry. Okay's still learning. I

think I learned time better than Chinese. Anyway. Did I know that this

will happen now? No? I don't know. You know, I never

really thought about it. Hey, why why are so comfortable in you know,

with these girl people. You know, I'm very comfortable, seriously,

right, but there's no but then now if I'm like, wow, if

if for the sake of this thing happening. You you give me this affinity.

I'm like, great, we never know the experiences in the past.

How you're barefoot in the future. If I look at my life, you

know, doing what I'm doing right now, I can equate a lot of

things with what has happened in the past that God has prepared me for today.

Some of you here you will understand what I mean. Right. There

are certain things in your life that you don't understand why this this thing happened

until now you're like, oh, no, wonder, no, wonder,

I experienced this because it is bearing fruit now. It is happening now.

So if you're believing for something, friends, can I encourage you as long

as you work with God, as long as you keep straight with Christ.

Again, now you have to work with Hima. Right. I was faithful

working with Christ, so I didn't go and do my own thing. But

when you faithfully work with Christ and He reveals and opens things for you,

a lot of things make sense in the future. Amen, talk to any

talk to any mature creation here. They will tell you. You know,

and then the way they tell you the story, it sounds like impossible.

And if this thing didn't happen. If that thing happened, I still remember.

Okay, I know I don't have a lot of time. I still

remember. So one of my homie maybe can go talk to them all later.

Okay, you know a lot of stuff she's doing right now. It

is very amazing. Okay, she's involved in Lynettes and they are going to

school doing training and in October they're actually going to organize something. They're going

to organize the first ever mental health fair in Taylor's College, right, and

my homie is self like helping it. And I remember one time in I

think in homes we were talking about this topic. I think I was talking

about topic about I can't remember exactly. I think it was how do you

know God's way in your life? Or something to the effect. And she

credited me for encouraging her to journey next And I have no idea, and

I totally don't remember what I say it, but she said it's something you

say it now. I'm like, I don't even remember I say it,

right, And I'm like, wow, that's so cool. You know,

there's many many more stories like this of how when you talk to believers who

work with christis their story sound like a movie on like if something didn't happen,

this won't happen. Do you know that that xberja could not have happened?

Well, I believe X to you would have happened. But maybe I

was not unique. Right, if I tell you the story about experience,

it's also like that because when we okay, let me try and backtrack a

lit bit. I know I dream a lot of time, so I can

equate marrying my wife as a fruit of plunding. To be really honest,

because when because I stay in Klang, there's no reason why I knew you

COMEPJ. Guys. I stay in Klang, And I used to go to

homes in shah Alam, right because near where I stayed, and then when

I got married, I shifted to go to Kamuni. And then now in

homes. Now in church we're like, oh, you know, go to

homes where you stay, right, that's why we're encouraging now. But those

days is a bit different, right, And because that time I was not

leading at homes and I was a leader, but my wife was faithfully leading

a PJ. Holmes, I went to BJL follow wife law husbands is okay

to follow sometimes you know, okay, and then we just eat homes are

lo and behold a few years later a plant XPG. I'm like, uh

no, it wasn't even asked that way. Do you want to be involved

in the planting of the church. I'm not. Let me pray about it.

Then later on I found out that I was the one leading the planting

of the church. Okay, I found out when we had our first meeting.

Oh really, Mia, Oh wow, okay, thanks, thanks for

the thanks for the hates up right, and here is where we are.

I can only equate it to obedience and to God's leading no other reason.

I used to call myself the accidental church planter because I didn't grow up one

thing to blanches. I didn't grow up one thing to be pastor. Really

it was not an intention, But I learned that there's nothing accidental in God's

kingdom. Everything is for reason. So what are you going through right now?

God is leading you? Follow his leading. Yes, it might be

a period of waiting. It might be a period where you know different things

are happening. But know this, when you are walking closely with God,

he is forming you, He is guiding you. But you got to work

close with him. That is how it works, guys. X three nineteen

says, repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out,

so that the times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.

It is a promiseer, guys, that when the times that God can

bring a time of refreshing in your life. I pray that today, after

this, we're gonna worship a little bit. I might have to leave.

I'm gonna pass it to Daniel, but I think we're gonna allow God's refreshing

to come on your life as you receive him wholeheartedly. Friends, you know,

and I know you're like, oh bye, crecire all this one.

No, no, no, no, guys, today is the day you

can make the decision. Lord. I want to follow you. I want

you to refresh my life. I don't want to deal with all these things.

Ready, Can you please come and cleanse me. It's your choice.

It's your choice. It's your choice, and that he may send Jesus Christ,

who has preached to you before. X three twenty six says to you,

first, God, having raised up his servant, Jesus sent him to

bless you. In turning away every one of you from your iniquities. You

know why did Peter do that? Because he remembered the commission that Christ gave

to the disciples. Matth eight, nineteen twenty says, they're go there forming

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

Son, the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things I've commanded you

and low I'm with you always, even to the end of the age.

So friends, just going maybe as a recap some key learning points the island

from this encounter. I don't know whether you will catch this by I hope

you will do. First point, God can do miracles at the most mundane

of situations. Do you believe that he can? But we've got to be

sensitive to him. We got to not miss it. Everything happens for a

reason, especially if you are walking with the Holy Spirit. We think it's

not, but it does. People who might not believe or expect it can

be blessed and have their lives change because of our obedience to God. Bitter

and Johanna, life still normala. You know a lot of times we believe

in God that God will change our life. How many of us are praying

that God will use us to change someone else's life. Do you know that

when God uses you to change our eltherst life, you won't feel much.

You won't feel the excitement. You won't or you get this super excited person

coming and thanking you all the time and you're like, Okay, I didn't

do anything, or so I just pray for you. Friends, God wants

to use you. It is not about the glory, it's not about the

price, it's not about how big you are. God gets the glory,

but He can use you. He can use you to be a blessing to

people. Amen. We might we think we might not have anything to give

those in need, but actually you do have something. Everyone of you here,

you do have something. We need to know who our God is.

We need to work with Christ and experience his reality in our lives so that

we can have the confidence to be witnessed for him. Peter knew how to

keep the main thing, the main thing, which was not the healing,

but the discipling and witnessing to spur people to accept Christ as their saver savior.

He was focused and clear on the mission. We need to be clear

on our mission. Are we clear on what we have in our hands today.

Friends, your life is precious, Your life is unique. Have you

invited Jesus to your life already? If the answer is yes, allow him

to mow you many times. It is not just the acceptance, but it's

allowing God to work in your life that will cause him to urge. Yes.

That's why the Bible says in Romans it is a fight between flesh and

blood, flesh and spirit. Sorry, no flesh and blood. It's a

fight against fresh and spirit. Because you know, every time we worship and

every time we have God's presence, is very easy to say, yes,

Lord, I will go. But when we're at home and when there are

many distractions and many things happen, sometimes the flesh is louder. You've got

to recognize that there's that battle. The flesh will always want you to take

things easy. The flesh will always want you to like that's the flesh.

But are we being led by the flesh or be being led by the spirit.

That's a question that I have. Friends, Can I encourage you to

be led by the spirit today? Allow God to move because he can.

He can cause your life to be supernatural and it can become normal, the

new normal for you. And do you know me, let me give you

something that I caught. Medturned to metthew chapter. Can we turn to Matthew

chapter twenty eight, verse I think sixteen seventeen, Yeah, okay, seventeen.

This is a very interesting line. Right before God gave them the commission,

this verse came up, you know, after this it was go there

for make disciples. It's such a big call, right, But there's his

line that says, when they saw him, they worship him, but some

doubted. You know what that tells me. God knows that some of you

are doubting. But like Gyrus, who told Jesus, you know, you

know, you know the story, right, Gyros caught Jesus and then Jesus

got you know, interrupted halfway by the woman who has issue of blood.

And after I said to that, by the time I went back a bit

too late, ready thought the diet ready, and everybody was telling everybody around,

everybody around that saying, ah yah, you know, don't waste it,

just time, lah, don't do this lie, you know done ready?

Lah. The circumstances are telling you that, people are telling you that

why you believe, you know, you've been trying so hard. Why you

want to believe in prayer? Why you want to believe in this? Jesus?

Just come to church enough ready, all everyone is telling you that,

you know what Christ said to him? Christ said, do you believe?

And Gyrous actually said, Lord, help my unbelief. Jesus was still there,

you know, Jesus was still holding his hand. You know, Thomas

doubted, cannot be Lae, show me the money, show me first,

Jesus. Jesus appearing from here and say look at my hands. He doesn't

tell me that if someone will here, a doubting God will remember you.

He just tells me that if you're a doubting oh, God's going to appear

in front of you. He's going to stop your doubt by pray that you

receive the word today, Amen, receive the word. We serve a God

that is all powerful, all knowing. We serve a God they can do

wonders. That is what we preach. We serve this person called Jesus who

can show us a father and in his name all authority has been given to

him. We hope you've been blessed by this message. For more information on
