Jesus Is For Everyone | Pr Alvin Keng

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

will light up your day. The last time I came, I spoke about

Holy Spirit, and I just want to share with you that the Lord is

leading me on this series for the sake of our church. On myself.

Okay, again, I don't really do serious one. I'm not a serious

person. Not a serious person. So sometimes people thing I am serious and

it's all about preparation and understanding. Okay, I think I shed here the

last round. But if I did not, then let let's make a refresher

that the way where we grow in our faith as believers is to have a

deeper understanding of the Word of God. Okay, that's one of the ways.

Okay, of course, in ACTS. The wonderful thing about our church

is that we are very big on faith and application. You understand that,

Okay, faith and application meaning we don't just talk. We actually do it

on, you know, because we have a pastor that does it on and

he does crazy things. You know, until today baster cannop no salary.

How does that work? I have no idea. You ask him. But

he's able to do a lot of things, you know, he's a man

of faith. The one thing that I really respect, but buster can is

he hear anything from God? He'll just do one. That is the one

thing you cannot deny about him. You know that whatever God says, he

will do even if people don't like it, even if it's seen. How

can you do that? Because He doesn't really care about what man thinks.

He cares about what God things. And we have that legacy, guys,

and it's very powerful legacy because it tells you that our faith is not just

for look and shown. It's not just we wear a suit, we come

here, we say hallelujah, a man just for shuny. You wanna be

Christian, you want to experience God. Come, Come, Come, Come

for Sunday, and that's all your experience. No, no, guys,

God is real. He can move in your life from Monday to Friday.

If you have not experienced Him from Monday to Friday and only on Sunday,

experience God. Friends, I don't think you fully experience God yet, because

God wants to touch every single area of your life, So can you please

don't don't stop him from touching those areas. Oh no, no, no,

no, no. My family don't touch our God, you know,

no, no, no, no my business no no no. Every single

area and some areas are painful, some areas are difficult, personal areas,

you know. But when we allow the Lord to move in those areas,

he will teach us, he will touch us, He will bring us to

this place where we will grow every area, you know, And I want

to encourage you. The idea is growing deeper in our faith. Correct,

And of course we grow deeper in our faith through experience. Right, means

we experience God. You know, you pray, you ask him for something,

and then he provides. You know, you pray for healing, and

then he heals, right, and then with that you are encouraged. You

say, God is real. I cannot deny him because he actually moved in

my life. Right. That's a wonderful thing. Right of experience, you

know. But the other way to experience is to also go deep in the

word. You know. Let me let me tell you why they going deep

in the world is important. You cannot have one or the other. Only

if you only have experience. When things happen, you will be deceived.

You're sure it's gotten on this thing happened. Maybe it's luck. When you

study God's way, you realize there's no such thing. So you got to

go deep in the world. But if you go deep in the word,

what deep dep deep deep deep deep geology and everything are, but you don't

experience gotner, then how we're going to prove that it is real? So

it comes both ways. And of course I'm sharing this with you to give

you a perspective on what I'm going to talk about today, because going deeper

in the world helps us in our faith. Right, going deeper in the

Word should encourage us to apply it to our lives, not just be puffed

up. You know the Bible say, don't be just puffed up, you

know, not puffed up. Read a lot of word can quote scripture,

but they do not do anything we do want very puffy, you know,

very big, very like, oh look at my title. But never apply,

never preach, never reach out to people, never praying. Then it's

worthless this information, right, information is only valuable when you use it right.

So yes, let's get the Word in our system. You know,

when you come, you hear the preaching of the Word. When you do

your devotion, I hope you guys do it. You know, when you

listen to messages. Right, Faith comes by hearing and hearing the what of

God? Right when these things happen, be input, but there has to

be an output. Okay, and I want to encourage you guys start thinking

about your output. Can I give you an that perspective? Churcha is just

training wheels. Serving in church, serving in homes is just your training wheels.

You know why because everybody here is nice, Everybody here understands. Everybody

here won't give you a hard time. You get me not. That's why

you don't think the ultimate is here. No, this not out No,

the Actoman is out there. You know. Do you know that being a

Christian out in the world is very difficult. Do you know being nice to

someone that just insulted you, It's very difficult. This is just training wheels,

right, We got to have that perspective. You don't have that perspective.

Sorry, yeah, this might our very is wrong. No wonder we

have people who give up on your faith, no wonder who we have people

who think that God is not real because you've not fully experienced him. So

we have to have the desire. Friends, I'm speaking to fellow brothers and

in Christ and again if you're not a believer here, I'm gonna let you

know today. I hope you know who Jesus is, because I'm gonna talk

a little bit about him. Right. We got to experience God, We

got to, you know, a desire for Him deeper in our lives.

Not just go deep in the world, but go deep in our experience.

Right. And that is why you have the apostles, you have the disciples.

That is why the people here serve you every week. You know,

friends, that is why Passagara is still here. There's a lot of things

she could do, she got to any adent, but she's still here in

Cheras because she knows that God called her here. All the people that are

serving here are still here because they know that the Lord has called them here,

and there is a purpose and a reason. And yes, it's difficult,

Yes it's tough. Yes we wish, we wish that this place.

We wish you are more people serving, We wish we have friends. Don't

just wish. Rise up. I'm speaking to some of you here. Stop

hiding your talent on the ground. You want to experience God in your life,

Start bringing and serving the church because it's your training. Wills Okay,

can I can I say another thing. I'm not just saying this so that

you will serve the church. I'm saying this so that you will grow.

Because, to be really honest, even me myself, I am dispensable.

You know what that means. Just because Pastor Alvin is here. And yes,

title doesn't mean that I'm bigger than anyone and I cannot be removed.

So I do not serve because I'm very important. I serve because God is

important. You'll catch that. Because we shouldn't come to the place where we

we do something because oh you know, if I don't do it, nobody's

going Actually that's not true. No, if I don't do this and someone

else gonna take my place. Because God can even use a donkey. Thank

God, he is using this donkey right, and this donkey is experiencing him.

Amen. See I haven't even gone into my word yet. Okay,

So if you're writing your notes today, I just want to share with you

that Jesus came for everyone. Jesus came for everyone. Let's turn to the

scriptures. John chapter three, okay, John chapter three, And I want

to encourage all you here. If you do not have a physical Bible.

Please buy one. You don't know what to buy. I'm gonna be a

bit brave. Talk to Passa Glorias. She'll buy on for you, right

amen. Yeah, talk to Nick, He'll buy on for you. He'll

buy a Chinese wife for your so so they can learn. Then one day

we'll start a Bui lingual service in next to us. Huh, I'm gonna

declare that. Okay, yes, seriously, it's happening. Um, get

your own Bible. Don't rely on your phone, you know, physical Bible

one, run out battery one, okay, Yeah, and then it's nice

to touch the words and to flip and know where your books are, you

know. And you know the other benefit about physical Bible is faster than your

phone. You know, because on our homes we're asking someone to read Bibla

and any person using phone. Wait now, wait now, Sorria, Sorria,

restlola. No internet, physical Bible, no, no internet on can

straight light and then you get there. John chapter three, it says there

was a man of the Pharisees named Nico Dimus, a ruler of the Jews.

This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, Rabbi we

know that you are a teacher come from God. For no one can do

these signs that you do unless God is with him. Okay, very interesting.

Let's let's let's do be of study on what just happened. There's this

guy who is a ruler. Okay, so in the Jewish culture, right,

when you have a ruler, when they are very religious people because they

are people, they are people chosen of God. Right, they're not just

religious when they are rulers and all that. They are not just like,

oh, ruler politics, but ruler means learned. They also know the scriptures.

You know. They're also respected by the people. Right, that's the

that's the way they are. Society functions. This guy came, he recognized

Jesus as someone from God. But he came and night you all, why

why did he come to Jesus? Why he didn't come to the day.

Because Jesus, if you study Jesus, actually rougher a lot for us when

he came. When he came out, he kind of messed them up a

little bit. A lot of the religious leaders didn't like him on because he

made a lot of claims and of course he claimed he was God and everybody

was like, how can you say such things? You know? And but

but they recognize the works, they recognize the science, you know, they

recognize that this guy is not just a prophet. He can do a lot

of crazy things. Are the even prophets cannot do right constantly? It's consistent.

I mean, they'll be quite cool, right every other day, got

healing every other day? You know, he just touched people, then get

quite cooler. Okay, he came at night. Okay, you know sometimes

we can be a shame of our faith, a shame that we come to

God at night. But you want to know the cool thing? Jesus didn't

tell in a way. Instead, he answered and said to him most assuredly,

I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see

the King of God. Wah. He's introducing this new concept. Of course,

now as believers we hear all born again, you know, new creation?

Now what does it all mean? This is new new thing? First

time ever someone said born again? Nikodima said, how can a man be

born when he's old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb

and be born? Makes sense? Right? He's comment, Yeah, you

what do you mean by born again? You mean become a baby Benjamin button

and then go back into my mom's wound. Is that what you mean?

And then come out again? Right? Is that born again? When we

say, but do you all fully understand what born again means? Some understand

some I'm not sure. Okay, we have to know that after today.

Hopefully we know after today? Right? So Nigo did must say that?

Jesus answered most assuredly. I say to you, unless one is born of

water and the spirit, he cannot enter the King of God. Wow,

what is he talking about? What then? The spirit? How are you

born on water? Come? Anybody want to try? Born on whatater?

What is he talking about? Okay, think about that now. Someone say

baptism, Yes, that's correct, baptism, baptism or water en fire?

But on what then? The spirit? Okay, he cannot enter the King

of God. That which is one of the flesh is the flesh, and

that which is one of the spirits the spirit. What's he trying to say

when he says born again? He's not talking about a physical borning again.

He's talking about a spiritual reborn, a spiritual rebirth. Okay, he said,

do not marvel that. I say to you, you must be born

again. The wind blows were they wishes, and you hear son of it,

but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So it's

everyone who is born off the spirit. Nickotiba's answer and said to him,

how can these things be? Jesus answered and said to him, are you

a teacher of Israel? And do not know these things? Or Jesus can

be so sarcastic? What is your? Jesus know the Jesus the whole lamb?

And then siy young the lamb? Actually, Jesus are he got?

He got multifestus in his life. Man, if you really study who CHRISTI

is a you'll realize that he's a very sarcastic person. A few times a

day I read. I'm like, well, Jesus, you're so sarcastic,

how can you not know? Aren you a teacher? Jesus comment? Well

done, Jesus, most surely I say to you, we speak what we

know and testify what we have seen, and you do not receive our witness.

If I've told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will

you believe if I tell you how any things? Oh? So arch man,

huh you mean I tell you simple thing. Also, don't understand her,

then you want me to share with you the you know the meaning of

universe? You mean you don't even believe that Christ like for since, then

how you're going to expect him to heal you. The basics have to be

there, the foundations have to be there. Then you can move on to

the next thing. Friends, I hope today you go deeper in your faith

and you'll be different tomorrow. Amen, no one has a center to heaven

but he who came down from heaven, that is the son of Man who

is in heaven. Or I love this line. You know He's like,

you're not God to heaven? Right? Do you know that no one has

gone except Jesus. This is why, and this is I must tell you

this is something that's very important. Okay. No one that has gone to

never gone to that place, can tell you how to get there. Only

the one that has been there before can tell you how to get there.

And only Christ has been there before. And only Christ claims that he's God,

son of Man and only and that's why he claimed that he is the

only Way, the Way, the Truth, and the life. That's why

he claims that He's the only way to the Father, you understand. Not,

that's why are you got to be very careful not to just listen to

lies? Oh? Actually are There are many ways to heaven. Actually are

there are many ways that you can You know, you gotta know where you

got to know your word. It's very logical. Only Christ has come from

heaven, so we should only listen. See. It's either Jesus is a

crazy guy and he's telling lies all this wild or he's telling the truth.

There's no in between one when it comes to our faith, know in between.

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must

the Son of Man be lifted up, that whosoever believes in him should not

perish alive. And then the famous words said all of us know, okay,

John three sixteen, for God's love the world, that he gave his

only begotten son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have

everlasting life. For God did not send his son into the world to condemn

world, but that the world true him might be saved. Okay, he

who believes in him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is

condemned. Already because he has not believed in the name of the only big

godden Son of God. And this is the condemnation that the light has come

into the world. And men love darkness rather than light because their deeds were

evil. For whoever, for everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not

come to the light lest his deeds should not be exposed. But he who

does the truth comes to the light that his deeds may be clearly seen that

they have been done in God. So number a few points. Only true

Christ. No other way you can be the best Christian ever. You can

serve the church all you want, you can you know, but only true

Christ we can have been done alive right that first, before our behavior.

Don't think about the behavior we behave well because we know Christ, not the

other way around. Get our evaluation, because if you don't get your evaluation

correct, you will always be trying your best to work hard to get to

heaven. And that's not it. You think that the little thing we do,

or the more things we do or get us to heaven, that's not

it. Only true Christ that tells me that our relationship with Him is the

most important, Not how much we serve not how many titles I have,

not how much I know the Bible, my relationship with Christ. That's the

key. Amen. And it also says that there's no condemnation in Christ.

No condemnation. Guys. Let me tell you the power of that statement.

How bad you've been, how awful you've been, how much mistakes you've done

in the past, no matter what has happened in your life, right,

you can still come to Christ. Even now you've been Christian for ten years,

two years you recently just messed up. You can still come back because

there's no condemnation in Him, no condemnation. He will receive everyone. That's

why I believe that Jesus is for everyone. Jesus is not just for the

urban Christian can meet in a nice hall, play helle song music, where

jeans and where whatever Christian is he only for them, not just for the

yo. Yo, yo, what's up? You know a big black church

kind of feel and then can sing r and be kind of songs kind of

Christian? Is he only for them? We gotta get up rightly straight,

No, guys, I'm using these examples not to not all these things.

Okay, I mean, it's good lie your expression, but what do we

subscribe to? Right, Jesus is not just for us. He's for everyone,

every single one, whether or not they have been Christian for long or

short, whether or not they know Him, whether or not they know how

to speak Christian is praise the Lord, Hallelojah Amen. Right, He's what

everyone. I refuse to believe that christ is only for us said, growl

people that you need to look like a certain girl. People, then only

we can pass you as believer. Do you know what the young people are

chasing right now? They're chasing a look and stal and feel and anything that

doesn't fit there now? Oh you know, no even hereso. Look,

guys, look around you, all shapes and sizes, all different colors.

Do you know what we believe in in acts that all may know? Let

me give you a testimony by the mere fact that we can actually plan a

church that is powered by the deaf community tells you already what we believe in,

tells you already what we are for. Do you know that their church

is the most quiet church ever? If you've got to going to see them,

I would love to go and we see them. But I kind of

taught us some some some sign language let me teach you what to do.

Okay, do you know to order my low because you saw them? You

know they go through Expresso order mylow? Anybody want to try? How do

you order my low? Aaron? How? Aaron? Ah? Yeah,

my low ice my low eyes? Yeah yeah. And then you want order

power right, chicken power, you know, or the pop power pop pow.

Okay, and there are money more that all me know? What is

our evaluation of God? Is he really for everyone to us? Or or

is he only for those people that we are comfortable with? Think about it?

Amen, Come, let's talk about a little bit of foundational stuff.

Let's talk about God's redemption plan. Okay, so what is God's redemption plan?

Let's see what is God's redemn shame plan? You I got some slice?

Yeah, okay, what is God's redamn shame plan? Okay? So

you know God? What does God wants? God wanted? And just some

basic stuff. Okay, Why did God create human beings in the first place?

Right? God created human beings in the first place because he wanted a

creation that would love him. Okay. He wanted citizens and he wanted to

be a king or a kingdom. That's why he created and of course he

created Adam and Eve. But unfortunately, unfortunately Sin came right and and I

won't go too deep into it. I think the I don't know the last

time I shared about this already. But you know the thing that will get

you on is not lies. Do you know that all of your west you

want four four lives? But do you know what you are for? Half

truths? Half life? Do you know the serpent came and told them a

half lie? You will not surely die because God knows that when you eat

the fruit, you will become more like him. Do you know that that's

a lie? Because a few verses before this, God already said, let

us make man in our image. Hey, hello, you already like him?

Why do you need the fruit? You don't need the fruit? No,

But why did the serpent use that? Because you want to trick yuma?

They actually are you're not fully like that? Or you want to know

the secret, and you know, everyone of us love secrets, right,

we want to know that the letters secret, or we want to know the

secret, and no one knows, only we know one why. That's that's

what happened, and and God created man and he wanted that. But unfortunately,

just unfortunately, okay, man failer, Adam failed, right fail okay,

and then m faila what to do? Failed? Have to send him

out? And then you know, you know the thing about sin right,

he got worse and worse and worse. Luck right, Adam dropped the ball,

scene came to the earth. You know, why do I say Adam

and not if he bapas if he's the one that ate the apple? No,

no, no, do you know that Adam was there all the while?

He was there all the while and next to Evil was talking to the

serpent. Adam was created by God first, know do you? And if

he wanted to honor or he wanted to. And the thing is he was

given dominion, no meaning, he was international. Why did he drop the

ball? He dropped the ball. He knew God first and in fact,

if you start the scripture, the first thing he did was blame if oh,

this woman that you created w totally don't take responsibility. Can I speak

to the man in the house. We are called to be responsible over our

lives, over our family, over the things that the law has said.

Okay, girls, I'm not going to be too, but I'm just saying,

men based on scripture, we are called to be responsible the moment you

drop the ball, the moment you remove your responsibility. That's where trouble comes

is in scriptures very clear. So we have to rise up to our responsibility.

We have to rise up not just to take charge, but also to

be responsible, to own up if you make mistake. Imagine Adam said,

sorry, God, I messed up. God where forgive him, you know,

and they were moved on my life, you know, But he didn't.

He ran away. He ran away. He didn't admit that's what happened.

So Adam dropped the ball, you know, and God tried, you

know, and of course after that it got worse and worse and worse.

And then God was so disappointed, you know, so disappointed with the world

that he's like, I want to kill off everybody. Okay, you know,

if any if anywhere got a question, why didn't God just since people

so evil, why didn't God just wipe out the youth? He tried it

once in no one's time, remember the flood. Okay, of course you

don't remember. Of course we weren't there. Okay, thank God, we

were in there. Okay, you know, so he wiped out the earth

and of course he's He's a God that says, you know what, I'm

gonna give you one last night there was one guy, one guy who would

at least be righteous, then I will give them a chance. Thank God,

we have Noah, one person right, one person, build the art

man of faith. God wiped out the earth, saved all the animals,

and then a few chapters later, I mess up again. So Noah dropped

the ball. Okay, I won't go too deep into that because it's a

bit of this is a family show. Please gonna read your own Bible,

okay to know what happened with no One and his sons and all kind of

quite messed up, right, And Sino was still there. Sin was unfortunately

still until today, Sine's still around, Okay, right, And he dropped

the ball. He failed, And then God realized, hey, you know

what, if you want to get anything done right now, you do yourself

low. And that's why he did. He did it himself through Christ,

his son. God had to do it himself, and that is God's redemption

plan for God soul of the world. He gave his only begodden son that

whoever believes in him should not perish. But have ever lasting life. Let

me, let me, let me teach you this thing called a bridge illustration

to understand our faith, and you can actually use this tool to share people

about who Christ is. So we got a problem, guys, since since

our problem? Okay? Oh you know I mean no, no, no,

I'm a very good person. Sorry, I'm not here to argue semantics

at all. We make mistakes before. Our heart is evil Jesus at the

standard very high. You think evil already you are? So Justny and me.

We got seen. Okay, we're not perfect. We got seen.

Okay. But God has a purpose for us, right, and we can't

reach him. So what was his plan? What was his redemption plan?

Right? His redemption plan was who next? Oh? Sorry, so let's

talk a bit about sinner. So unfortunately sin right, the penalty is death

flawer okay uh and not just normal death, eternal deafla means constantly death okay

uh and uh. And yeah that's the problem. But God doesn't want us

to hit that. Okay, that's why he said his son, he paid

for our sins. He paid for ours, He paid for all the mess

that we've done, He paid for all the little lie that we said,

he paid for all the evil thoughts that we've had, and he's done it

a long time, even before you're one. He paid it ready and all

we needed to do is say Christ, you're my savior, and then we

can be done. A line easy for us, right, hard for him?

I was saying, not easy. Well, it depends on how you

live, right and with that, and we've eternal life. What do we

get no condemnation passed from death to life. What's the what's the how to

say? What's the alternative to Christ? Condemnation? Sin and death? He

said, here by not accepting automatic again, I'm not cursing you. You

know that is what the Bible says means. You accept, you get good

stuff. You don't accept, you letter. There's no in between, unfortunately,

and this is God's redemption plan. God wants to redeem us and only

true Christ, no other way. But when we get it. When we

when we said Christ in my life saved, we experienced purpose, We experienced

eternal life, We experienced no condemnation. Let me ask you a question why

only Christians are have high standard? How m do you mean by that Christian?

Yeah? We have Do you know every time someone or a bright view.

And you say, I don't want to I don't want to bribe people.

I don't want to take bride. What's the first question they ask you?

You're Christian? Why why not other? Why he's so special? Other

people who know? No, we are not making ourselves special. The standard

on we set on. God said the standard. Yeah, I don't know,

idea, think about I think about things all like this all the time.

Right, Yeah, it's hot, it is Hartler, but it's for

a bigger purpose. It's for something bigger. And we have to understand what

is God's redemption plan. And this redemption plan is not just for us,

it's for everybody. All they need to do is except Christ. That's why

we are so hard up. We're trying to reach out with people because we

need to share with them the good news. Isn't this the good news?

I think this is the good news, this greatest news ever. Ay,

no matter what you mess ammer, this guy will wipe out everything. Man,

that's like your best news ever. Not just wipe out everything. He

will help you with your problems. He will change your lives. He'll make

you happier. He'll give you peace, He'll give you a purpose, a

hope in the glory. You want to go do yourself or you want to

get this guy to help ire. You already get these guys to help.

Man. Let me give you another selfish thought? Selfish not selfish? Okay,

when you do things yourself? Right, who takes responsibility? You don't

go and do something on your owner and blame Gotner. He cannot take responsibility.

But do you know that when God asks you to do something and you

do it, who takes responsibility? Him? Na? What do you take

responsibility? He asked me to do one more? So every time that happens,

right, when God asks me to do something and I do it now?

And I have to make sure that really got asked me to do Allah?

Okay, Hey, God, why you put me in this situation?

You asked me to do this? Can you please take responsibility? So even

isn't it better that he takes responsibility than us? Food for thought? So

that is his redemption plan. We got to understand it. Okay, we

got to know that. Hey, it's his redemption plan for me and is

his redemption plan for everyone? Amen? But what is his strategy? His

strategy is to use men. His strategy is to use his creation. Okay,

his children? Oh why not God do himself? God so powerful?

What friends? If God do it himself, Jesus will still be here.

But can I share something with you that I think I know why God didn't

do himself. I think if God continues, I think us still here,

you won't believe him. That's that's the one. That's the interesting thing about

human beings. Now we are very He must prove to usen you know,

if we were tyring, I think it's more powerful when God uses his children

now to show the way. I think it's more powerful. I think we

might believe more. I think Jesus is here, you know, he said,

oh Jesus here, listen. Are you sure? Are you sure that

Jesus is here? You listen to our teachers, so we don't listen of

others, so we don't listen our prime minister, we don't listen. You

mean, if we have this guy that can heal miracles, some of us

here, I don't believe la. Even when Jesus was around now walking with

disciples, answer them say I don't believe. Show me your hands, Thomas

like that also don't believe. You know, but God uses creation God used

other people. In the scripture, it says, blessed are you who see,

but blessed a more who don't see, and they believe. How many

of us here have never seen Jesus face to face yet, but we believe,

we experience. We allow God to use our lives to touch another person

through our lives. Guys, through our lives, people see the reality of

Christ must be true. And I don't believe, and I don't understand.

How come pastor Glora can be so faithful. It doesn't make sense. What

is so real to her? I want to experience it? And then God

comes true. That's why God uses his men more effective, more effective?

Use us. What to show the way thrue Christ by how discipleship Christ read

showed? Not show the way through church service, not show the way to

home Sonia not sure their way to worship or summon. No discipleship. What

is discipleship life? We're very big on disciples x O your talk, Discip.

Talk to anyone here who have gone through discipleship. Yes it's painful,

Yes it's tough, but we grow, we change. We grow very fast

because we're willing to submit and die to self and trust that It's not just

our harder leader or pastor or church leader. It is God working through them

the speak to us and help us grow in our faith. And I like

discipleship rather than mentorship. I know people start a mentoring, Oh I mentor

you. I don't even like that word. Let me tell you why.

I don't get what. Mentoring just feels like I know more than you,

And actually that's not the truth. I'm experiencing Christ every day. Maybe I

know a little bit more than me, maybe a little bit ler, Okay,

but I see if I'm a discipler, I can point him to Christ,

not myself mentoring. I know my you follow me and look at me

and look at me. Disciper Ship is look at me as I look at

Jesus. Okay, but you can also look to Jesus right, discipleship.

That's why you're big on it. We're big on disciper ship. How do

you live life as a believer? Not enough? No come for service on

Sunday, not enough, come to pray service only not enough? Do you

know that it's not enough? I can tell you honestly, it's not enough.

How I know I know because I've been going to the gym. What

do you mean by that? Do you know that I've been trying to work

out for a very long time, so long I can't share a little bit

here the last round only this year when something major happened. But let me

tell you some of the things that I feel have free helped me. Encouragement

from my peers. I have a staff that every day reminds me, are

you going to gimming? Not today, past her, I'm like, okay,

okay. And I have a trainer, a discipler, Albert link right,

and I got two goals. One goal is I must look like him.

Okay, that's one goal getting there. Another goal is I listen to

whatever he says. I don't question he say do this. I do this

even the day he said I want to give you this, but I feel

like, oh, I want to because I've been joining them with their workouts,

you know, while joined the big boys doing their workout. But he

gave me another one because he said, you need to improve in this area.

I'm like, okay, I would just do even though it's lighter,

it looks like I'm back on my training wheels, but I'll do it anyway

because I trust my coach. That is the cyper shit. My trajectory is

faster. And I'm recently talked to a close friend you know, and say,

oh, I also started working out, you know, about the same

time. But I'm like, do you have a trainer? No, I

don't have. I watch YouTube and learn myself. And I'm like, that's

good. But you might be doing the wrong thing and not realize it,

and then by the time you develop a habit that's not good, then you'll

be building different muscles city you know, right, don't know what muscle you're

building, right, And I say, why don't you try and consider getting

a trainer. So I realized, even in a Christian faith, is I

that right? This is good. I'm not saying it's not good. I

hope he is good for you. Okay, but you got to go deeper,

guys, you got to go deeper. You got to train your spirit

man more. Amen. That's why this is the way. That's why,

that's why Jesus showed the way, not the sermon. No, the disciples

were the one that push forward the gospel. The disciples were the one that

experienced him the most. The disciples were the one that could do miracles.

The disciples were the one that led the church and we God's strategy is to

use man to show the way to follow jesus teachings. Friends, Please don't

follow im men's but only christ. If anybody preaches to you out of the

Bible right and gives you opinions, please don't follow it or not. Please

follow only the Bible. You want to know why the Bible is so powerful

and why you should read the Bible, because then you can verify what I

say today. Only Christianity does that. No, what do I mean by

that? Only Christianity. You can go back and do yourself studied and decide

whether or not the way it's correct or not today, no other relation.

Only Christianity. Do you know how vulnerable it is that I appreciate him the

word You can go back and say, passevean, that's not correct her because

I read the scripture and you're preaching out context. Do you know that you

can do that? I mean, don't do that here? Okay, and

I take this with you. I'm tremending, but I'm just giving you a

perspective. You don't have to receive locks of barrel because at the end of

the day, we are teaching Christ his way. He's truth, and I

pray that you experience him today. Amen. So that is God's strategy,

because there's only one way to the Father. You're on fourteen six sys.

I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to

the Father except from me, and the way to heaven is only true the

person who has been there before. I share this just now. Okay,

But but guys, can I share this other thing? Is it an easy

way? Actually? No, no, it's not. No why because Mentel

seven fourteen says, enter by the narrow gate. For why is the gate,

and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many

who go by it, Because narrow is the gate, and difficult is the

way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. Can

I give you. I don't know whether it is a revelation or not,

but I'll just say this statement. It's actually very easy to be bad,

but it's very hard to be good. Makes sense. That's why the road

is narrow. The row is never good at It's not easy to be good,

but it's very easy to be bad. It's very easy to prepent,

pretend to be good, but be better Also it's very hard to be good

and to be consistent. Just accept it. Lah. The pathway to me

looking like coach Elbott is hot. I know. So I work hard,

hard, normal complaints. I just just work it. I just forced myself.

I just do it. You know. Last week, Uh so normally

workout is like afterward fight the tea. But I don't know why my colliques

are crazy on Fridays only you know, uh, maybe it's a holiday.

They work out during lunchtime, then escape lunch, not because we got home

slad, then after a hat la. So last Friday I joined them.

I did two times. Did I like it? I think I've come to

a place where if I don't do it feels weird regular Was it hard?

Yes? Was I scared? Yes? But I did it after a while,

because you keep doing it right, something that's hard won't be hard anymore.

Maybe in the beginning it's hard. After a while you get used to

the narrow road. No, after a while, No, But you see,

if you don't start somewhere, then you're not going to do it.

You're always going to find it easy way out. You got to start somewhere.

Friends, you got to be consistent. Friends, amen. So I

share with you about gost redemption plan. I share you about the method.

Let me share with you what is the process that we go through as believers.

There is a change or do you know it's change? We have this

prayer, you know, look at my time. What's the prayer? If

any of you want to receive Christ as your personal line savior, please raise

up your hands after this? Okay, count the tree, raise hand,

pray and what we do we say? We se say that Jesus will come

and he will reside in your life. But do you know that there is

a spiritual thing that's happening, not physical, not like okay, let me

we we go and see it. Yeah, So what is the process?

Is it us accepting Christ? We become born again? Physical a birth who

after that? Super strongly? You got superpower. Now I'm a Christian.

I can understand anything. I got laser in my eyes. I pray,

miss you'll get hilled. I got a power like he mean like that.

So you don't get their references. Okay, this trus you how old I

am? Is it is? No, it's not these guys don't get confused.

It's not this. So what is the actual process by scripture. If

he doesn't, if he does not go through a baptism of water and spirit,

he won't be able to meet car. It is a spiritual rebirth,

are born again. This why baptism is so important to us. Friends.

Water baptism is an indicator, right? Why is it indicator? Again?

Now, physically he may not have any significance besides getting wet, but spiritually

is powerful. Let me tell you it's powerful even non believers. Noah,

the power water baptism because after you what the baptize are? People know that

you cannot turn back ready. That's why we say the song no turning back

right right? I remember going for mission trip and we're reaching out to the

ladies and the men, and and of course they say, yeah, we

believe in Jesus. We've seen miracles healing one of water, trying tamawater baptize.

Why because I see want to jud I see you want to gossip.

Because they also know how once and water baptize are. I cannot do it?

Ready? It's a powerful thing. What the baptism? So those that

have not been what the baptized past the gloria, I think after this they

need to you know, because it is a baptism of water. God,

I'm here and I'm gonna follow you, no turning back, no turning back

right. And then there is a baptism of fire Holy Spirit. The last

message I spoken about Holy Spirit. How when you accept Christ in your life,

the presence of God comes and reside in your heart. It says in

the scripture your body is a temple of the spirit Holy Spirit. Do you

all the time? Know? Do you know also that when you say things

like I don't feel like God is close to me, actually it's the balad

can. I give you another perspective. God is always there of you.

It is that your heart is cold and you are far, but He's dead

for you all the time. A prove it to your true scripture after this,

why I say God is there well you all the time, even though

you don't feel like he's near, He's there. Actually, he's not about

feeling you know, He's always there. He's always there. That is a

promise from God. Imen. So that's the process born again romance child too,

what does you say, do not be conformed to this world, but

be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you may prove what is

that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. This is a very powerful

scripture. When you, as a believer, go through the baptism of water

and fire. You know what changes you? Not your circumstances, huh.

Not your certainly physical body sudden goes from maybe something you can experience healing Prai

Scodlar Okay, but not just that. It is a renewing of your mind.

You think differently, do you know? The more you read the word

you think differently. You think more like God, you think more like Christ.

So, friends, this might be awareble statement. All this while you

become a believer. Right, if you have not transformer, I wonder whether

you see for your foreign Christ really enough? Because all of us that follow

Christ we change. I have changed to lips and bounced. Friends, My

wife is here her birthday today, right you are allah, how has your

husband been in the past ten years? Whether I change or not, not

because of marriage, but because I follow Jesus. I've changed so much since

I was young. There is that constant transformation. When we submit ourselves be

renewed in our minds, be renewed, in the way we look at things,

be renewed. Because we are not walking this life alone. We have

godliness. Amen. What does the next creature say? Matthe forty, Jesus

said, you shall love the Lord God. You're all your heart, all

your soul, all your mind. This is the first and great commandment,

and second is I is you shall love your neighbor as yourself. Only these

two commoners hang the Lord in the progress. Let me show you something that

I have learned as a young person. Now I'm not so young, I'll

be already, and I find it true. If you are unhappy with your

life today, if you have been well, they used the way depressed nowadays,

where is your focal point? You know? God is so smart?

Yeah, he is la when our focus is on God and others. You

see, the scripture ask ers to love the Lord, your God, with

all your heart, soul, and all your mind. So there is a

mind change, and there's a heart change. What is the heart change?

The heart change is love God and love your neighbor as yourself. In the

scripture, you can see yourself or not love your neighbor as yourself. Love

right, But it's love your neighbor first, No, not your self first.

There is something I've learned when I was growing up that time. Every

time I think about myself only and I concern more concern about myself than other

people and anything else, I get more set thy pressed. But the moment

I shaft my focus to God and others, I don't feel like that anymore.

That's very powerful. God knows the condition of our hearts. God knows.

That's why he said, Please, don't focus yourself so much. If

you focus on yourself too much, and then now even worse, no social

media courses to focus on yourselves so much. Please like me, I like

me, I like me, I like me, I go and li like

other people. You want to experience viratually in your life. Love, God,

love others, have a mind, change friends. The world teaches you

to love yourself more, take care of yourself more, love yourself more,

focus on yourself more. I'm not saying that's that's wrong, no, but

that cannot be first God first, others first than yourself, God first,

other first than yourself. It's not. If not, you're gonna you're gonna

suffer. If not, it's not gonna be enough. If not, you're

always gonna be depressed when you see other people enjoy life more than you.

But you know if you love others, when you see out people enjoy you

happy for them, You're so happy. See, it's a shift you,

no, guys, a transformation of your mind. Amen. That's the process

when we become believers. Are It's not just so that, Okay, now

we are Christian. Now you have to dress a certain way, look a

certain way, talk a certain way. Come to juds on Sunday. No,

guys, it is a spiritual transformation of the heart and the mind,

and a constant transformation. And the more we go deeper in the world,

and the more we experience God, the more we change, the more mature

we can't become. We learn new things. Amen. But Elvin, I

get it, Okay. I know the plan. Uh. And of course

it's to go to heaven or so I know. The method is people and

me. I know what happens when I receive Christ. But how do I

continue? What will show me the way? Well? I only got two

points, God's Word and the Holy Spirit. What is God's Word? The

Bible is sixty six books written, where you have thirty nine in the Old

Testament and twenty seven in the New Testament through the span of more than one

thousand years where the authors of the Bible came from different groups of people,

kings, slaves, fishermen, shepherds, teachers, and even murderers. Some

knew each other, particularly those who lived during the time where Jesus was ministering

on earth, but most of these authors didn't know each other. Their words

do not contradict each other, and many of their stories flow in chronological order.

The words inspired by the Holy Spirit, God's spirit, the Bible will

be your greatest guide. One day, our friends, we may not have

the opportunity to meet like this. We may not have the opportunity to go

and I want to listen to MTG. Go on Spotify and listen. You

may not have the opportunity. I pray to you still have your Bible your

hand. I pray that the word of God will still continue to get you.

One day you might not even have phones. Who knows what's going to

happen to our country? Who knows? Nobody knows. But what's going to

be our guiding life? The Word of God, not man's words, not

other no, no, no, God's words. Joshua one. It says

this book of the Law, the Bible, this book of the Law shall

not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night.

Then you may observe to do all according to all that is written in

it. For then you will make your way prosperous and you will have good

success. You want to have good success in life. Meditay on God's word.

You will have good success and you will prosper That's what's going to happen

for you. You want to know the even more important thing. The Lord

will define what is your success, not you yourself. There are many people

in this world who's successful, but they're not even happy. Successful in all

our lives, but they're not even happy, They're not well fulfilled. They

don't consider you as a success to them. But God, when we meditate

on this book, we will find success, we will find purpose, we

will find peace. Those are the things that we will find. But it

takes work. Meditate on God's word, read God's word. What's the second

point? The Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit is basically just God's presence,

his power. He was the helper that was promised. X one I says,

but you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you,

and you shall be witnesses to me. In Jerusalem or Judea and Samaria and

to the end of the earth. This is very important. The Word of

God and the Spirit of God. The Word of God and the presence of

God. This is our guiding light. When you don't have church, when

you don't have preacher, when you don't have all these things, these two

things you need to find. These two things are very important. I pray

that your building is now already right. You're building. How do you determine

what is right or wrong? How do you determine where to go? The

Word of God and the Holy Spirit, the Word of God and his presence.

Which job to do our God? Of God, his presence? Who

to marry our God? Would of God his presence? How to raise my

kids on God? The world of God, his presence, and you will

find good success? Sound too simplified, right, but it's true. The

Word of God, the presence of God. And we have the answer in

our friends. People do have the answer. Decided to finding your answer.

So I will also caution you. We're trying to find answer outside. Oh

this is the new relatest parent thing hacked. Oh, this is the latest

way to get rich. The world doesn't have this, No we have this

no, but we don't even use it. The world has all kind of

funny things. And you know what's happening in the world right now, I

say the word meaning people outside generally they are trying to disprove the Bible.

So much work, so much work done to try to disprove this word of

God. Isn't it interesting? I find it very interesting. I also find

it interesting that only Jesus the world fights against. Only his name is a

cussword. Only Christians get flat. You're going to see, I really don't

can now and only week now? And why ah, because it's unfortunately Jesus

against the worldA that's what's happening right now. That's what's happening in the States

right now. That's what's happening in a lot of places right now. It's

scary. You know. How is our faith? Amen? So the Bible

and the Spirit guides our way? And friends, what do we receive when

we follow Christ? Well, I'll go to real quick. We receive purpose.

What is the meaning of life? That question? I tell you the

meaning of life is just a self God. I am convinced, beyond a

doubt and true serving God, we will find our customized meaning of life.

Amen means every one of us here God has a purpose. Every one of

us here. God has a purpose for you. Are you living out that

purpose? That is the question. It's not about oh, I don't know

what is No, are you living out that purpose? Are you discovering that

purpose in Christ? In godere Roman's Ethunay says, and we know that all

things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are

called according to His purpose. The next thing we experience is peace. This

is also another very key indicator. Only Christian stock about peace. One Oh

I got peace, then only I do peace from God, not peace from

bank account. No peace cannot lasten. Only Jesus peace can lasten Jesus peace.

Are you know? You know the peace of God can last? How

much it can last even in the most difficult time. It can last even

at the craziest time. Recently, I had one of my church members,

you know, was just showing me a testimony. It's quite interesting testimony because

Baga came and then he preached about power is praise and this just Bramber was

praying the car praying all you know, said like you know what I need

to because there was a problem that he was going through. You know something,

do it work? And he's like, you know, I just knew

pray Scott. After dropping his kids off, he praised good, said Lord,

praise you, I praise praise you are and then he said I experienced

a breakthrough. Suddenly he felt the Holy Spirit come. Now he was crying

having the peace, and then his car got banged at the back. Immediately

after that, crazier quite bad bank, you know, very bad bank.

His car. His car was like, well in the workshop for one week,

but I was very bad bank. And he was like, but you

want to know the interesting thing the testimony when he was in the door truck.

The door truck guy said hey, you're ready, calmer whire and then

he's like, well, let me tell you why then shall my buster appreciers

Today? I was praying and you know, I'm sure God will have a

whaler and I'm okay. The peace of God that God's your hearts and mind's

true or understanding crazy. Only Christians can experience these, nor friends, only

Christians. Peace. I live with you, my peace. I give to

you not as the world gives. Do I give you. Let not your

heart be troubled. Neither let it be afraid. The other thing that we

get is power. Second Corinians Troup nineteen stays, and he said to me,

my grace is sufficient for you. My strength is made perfect in weakness.

Therefore, most gladly, I will read a bost in my infirmities,

that the power of Christ may rest upon me. We're all weak, but

God gives us the power to overcome. So, friends, this morning,

I want to encourage you. No matter what problem you face, you can

overcome, not just because of your own self, but you can overcome because

Christ is in you. You can overcome because God is there. You can

overcome because you're not alone. It's not about you, know. Oh but

I cannot because I'm very deman. It's not about you. Oh I cannot

gus no money. It's not about you. I cannot because no context.

It's not about you. To Christ within you, you can overcome. Focus

is different now because finally, remember I shared just now about how silence when

we share, Oh God your far away. Let me share the scripture and

this is a revelation to me even recently meant twenty of all scriptures the last

Commandment, and he says teaching them to observe all things that I've commanded you.

And lo, I am with you always, even to the end of

the age. There is no condition to that promise. There is no bad

you, no biberon I go poo bad although therefore nothing, And I am

with you always. Friends, You don't feel like Jesus close. He's there

with you. Call out to him. He's there with you in your doctor's

days. He's there in your happiest days, his debut, in your status

days. The scripture has said it received the scripture. Oh, I don't

know where you got. He's there. You say yes to Jesus, Rima,

why are you still not sure? Why are still confused? Just with

you mean what Jesus there? You won't get problems? You mean Jesus there,

nobody gonna score you? You mean friends? All these thing was that

happened? But because Christ, with Christ in the vessel, we can smile

at the storm, smile at the storm, smile at the storm. With

Christ in the vessel, we can smile at the storm as we go sailing

home Sunday school song. So many things. Guys, I hope you are

encouraged. So what is stopping us from sharing about Christ. Think about it,

I mean, just some let's just go through some thoughts like it.

What is stopping us is fear. Fear is real. This is so good.

No, don't you think that this is good news. It's such an

awesome good news. We should be sharing with people about it, good news

that we've experienced. And of course, the more experience God, the more

excited you'll be. You know, it's like how you experienced the latest Chuck

withatew. You will tell everybody about it, or the latest Corene Buffe.

You know that is cheap and nice. Anyway, the go on, just

to let you know a Cocoa steamboats fifteen. Okay, go check it out.

Last time. I used to be bamboo house at Sunway, but now

change it. Uh prejudice, maybe raise social status, our own mind,

our experiences cannot lane cannot. I'm not the camp person. Our environment they're

very hard, just easy. They say, she's training meals. Now go

out there, it's hot. Maybe the other people that's stopping us. Maybe

offenses you know what my boss are? You know, my boss deserves to

go to hell because I offend it all the time. So when share,

No, that's not the shouldn't be there, shouldn't be people shouldn't stop us,

Offenses should not stop us. Maybe it's generation gap? Are you the

music nowadays are debonic the music? Are we allowing generation gap to stop us

from sharing the gospel? People? Are we allowing the gen No? No,

no, no no. We only must sing him Son, don't sing

him Smith. It's not friends. What is it that is stopping us?

Is it a preferences? Is he a dressing? They don't be leader?

The leader have to wear shirt and tie every day. Pastors. She had

a very powerful word on Poweray Praise about how when we as believers come to

church, we are coming to meet the King of Kings and a lot of

plots. And the one unique thing about our church that I'm very thankful for

is you've got to really understand the why we do different things when I come.

Let me talk about myself. I am taught this here when I come

to service on a Sunday. And can I also clarify this, Come as

you are. There's no condemnation. Okay, if we have a prostitute coming

to this place and she's wearing mins, we're not going to look at her

any different because that is her best. But of course true discipleship, we

are hoping that the person can grow up right. But we're not gonna condemn

any birdy's best in this place. If this is your best in your dressing,

praise the Lord. But is it your best? This is my best?

Why do I dress this? Because I'm not here to dress up for

you? You know, I'm wearing my soul and time for the King of

Kings because I worship him. I'm not wearing my sue and tie to impress

you. If you think I'm we're doing it impress you. No, I'm

not wearing it because it's a uniform. So I'm wearing this because I serve

the King of Kings and a lot of loss, and he deserves my best.

This is my best so and tie. If I have a better one,

I will wear a better one. We got to have the right perspective,

friends, We got to have the right perspective. Are we allowing our

own preferences to stop us from experiencing God? Can you choose serviced another?

Timing pasta Gloria, it's timing too early, Ela, then the clock is

perfect nine a bit too early? Huh? Can or not preferences anyway,

don't wan who actually she got service time anywhere? You don't like this sign,

you go want the tila even then. Also, we not really bla

okay, we just want people to experience God. Right, So what's stopping

us? Can I give us another perspective? What is stopping us from experiencing

God's love? Think about it? What is stopping you now to experience God's

love? What does Romans say? Romans eight thirty five says, who shall

separate us from the love of God of Christ? Shall tribulation, distress or

persecution, of famine or nakedness or peril or sort? Romans it that in

nine says, for I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor

angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to

come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing shall be able

to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ. Jesus,

our Lord, do you know what is stopping you from experiencing God's love?

And the answer is nothing? Nothing. All these things I mentioned fear

that cannot stop you from experiencing God's love. Nothing can can stop you from

experiencing God's love because he loves you so much. He's a free gift,

freely received. He will come and reach you. Know, I'm sure some

of you here would have experienced God's grace and faithfulness in your life even when

you didn't ask for it. After be believed, after becoming a believer.

I'm sure some of you experience that experience and experience right that even you cannot

explain. I don't know, know I when I talk to believe us sometimes

that these things I go through this, I don't even know why I didn't

even pray. They always say I didn't even pray because God is kind to

you. God loves you, God cares for you, God wants you to

grow. Let me flip it around a little bit. What is stopping our

non believing friends and family from experiencing God's love? You answer yourself, Gettyson,

I got no answer for you. It should be nothing right and just

a final thought. You know Jesus right, He's such an awesome guy,

because as you read the scripture, you uralize that Jesus, you know all

the things that I mentioned what's stopping us from sharing about Christ? He doesn't

care about any of that, No, because he reached out to everybody.

Every single interaction that you read in the Bible is Jesus reaching out to people.

No stop. He reached out to the Samaritan woman in his culture context,

talking to a woman and talking as a Judos Smarthon is a no,

no, no, he did it. He's reach. He reached out to

the children. Hey, hey, friends, friend, sorry, sorry this

church. You gotta be reverend now, kid, so you better be quiet.

That's what happened. Hey, the kids come here, go go,

go, go, go go. Don't stop. Jesus doing his thing.

And then he says, let the little children come to me. And then

he whags someone, no, if any of you have faith as this,

Jesus is super sarcastic. He reached out to Zakias. Zacchius is the most

hated guy at the time. You know why he collects Texas. Let me

give you a perspective. Imagine if we have no I don't use as an

example. Imagine someone just like, Okay, Bob, Bob, I hope

there's no Bob here, So Bob in Exciraza, he tasks to chase you

for your ties and offerings. Who would you love him? No, you're

that's what Ezakis did, and let me talk to you about transformation, Jesus

or Jesus said, Jesus even met Zakier said I need to meet this guy

because he's going to help me. And the encounter happens so immediate. He

said, yas I see you climb down from the tree. You know how

powerful it is because it's like a group of people. And then someone is

like somewhere and there were a lot of people there and he just recognized za

kias come now, I'm going to go to your house today. And then

people even then, now people, how can he go and eat with this

guy? This guy is so you know, all the gossip and then like

transformation. Now, Jesus, I will pay back what I take from people

three times. Isn't that transformation to you? That's transformation? No, everybody

he met, he reached out to, Nico Dimus, he reached out to

he met him. Where he is you you assure me it's okay. I'm

still gonna meet you and tell you and give you revelation. Right. Gyrus

and his family, someone who is cannot even believe that he can heal help

me with my unbelief. He reached out to them, He even reached out

to the rich young ruler. Do you know that the rich young ruler rejected

Jesus because he got so much money he cannot let go. But Jesus still

met him. Jesus still reach out to him. Friends, as you reach

out to people, if you get this revelation and say, yep, I

think I need to be a sort and light web, and I think I

need to at least invite them to at least reach out to them, because

I've experienced this. See, when you have fully experienced God, now you

cannot deny him. And if he fully experienced God right, you will want

to share him with others. And of course don't be wein sla go and

talk to people properly, or wait for the right timing, or allow the

Holy Spirit to open the door, and all these things can learn teacher.

Okay, basically every single person Jesus come in contact with change amazing. Friends,

amazing. And I end with this story, Well, it's not a

testimony, but I believe it's a testimony in the making. Remember the last

time I came and I share a view about Dylan the barista. I don't

know whether any of you going we see him or not. I'm guessing Nola.

Okay. This morning and I come with my family. We had breakfast

there, decided to go a bit earlier. They opened at it. He

remembered me. I'm like, oh, hi, okay. Then we had

breakfast, we eat, we chill and then I'm like, you know,

just chill up. They didn't feel like need say anything and all anything you

remember. And then before we left and he's and he kept asking me,

oh, you're here and you're going for church in Cherist. I said,

oh yeah, yeah. They started ninth to D and then he's like,

okakay. And then he suddenly asked like, oh he keeps going for the

chances O y yeah, they're going. They're going when they come here,

you know. Uh. And then he's like then before we left, it's

like, oh, you're going to church now? I said, yah,

yeah, So where far from BJ to Cherist. I'm like, now that

it's okayla ask him, I said, have you been to church before?

He said, oh, yeah, I did quite a long time ago.

I'm like, oh, okay, quite a long time ago. Then I

left. The next time I come to churi Us again or maybe when I

free and if the lot leads. I'm probably gonna invite him to church already

the next round, God, I think that's open door right too. Meetings

and he's super chilling. Guys. I didn't like, Oh Lord, speak

to me and then you know, nothing of that happened. It was the

most chill normal conversation ever. And he's still do not impastor he's just not

this weird guy where I to bring family, come Sunday morning and come for

breakfast. Friends. My first encouragement is know who your God is and experiencing

fully for your life. Know who he is. He can he can do

many great and wonderfuful things in life. Women number two be excited to be

used by God to reach others because they need to experience Him. And all

it takes is that one encounter and you will change. All it takes is

to one encounter and you experience Him. And do you know that you are

not you are not doing it alone. The Holy Spirit is there. If

you know I'm not doing this alone. I've not shared this before, but

evangelism is my weakest gift. Okay, really and not just I. Everybody

you know, all my my not all of my peers know that in a

way. There was one we had a spiritual gifting. Who is your spiritual

gifting? You know we wrote in the leadership right when we're going through that

training. And then my top one is apostly because I do things very fast,

okay, and then my lowest so that is eventually n out like her

and you repent for that. But God is doing something in my life right

now, not me, It's not definitely not me. I can tell you

God is doing something in my life and I want to allow him to continue

that because He's opening up doors for me that I never saw open before,

right and I just need to do it. You know, is it scary?

Not really. I think when God opened the door for you, it's

not so scary. When you think you're forced to do it, then maybe

it's scary. Law. So I don't know. I'm just excited to what

God's going to do in your life today this week. I believe God will

do something in your life, whether it's for yourself or whether it's to use

you to bless another person. Amen. We hope you've been blessed by this

message. For more information on our church, please visit as church Org.
