Share the Gospel | 09/13/2026

Hey guys, how's it going?

Good morning.

God is good all the time.

And yes, he is.

My wife and I.

So my name is Jared.

This is my wife Brittany.

We lived in Africa for eight years.

So we were missionaries, and we just moved back to America on May 1st, and we joined 33rd Company, where we're now taking that mission spirit, that pioneering spirit back into America and stirring up the church and getting America ready for the end time harvest.

Anybody say hallelujah in the room.

God loves America.

So we are 33rd Company.

This is Jay.

Wave your hand, Jay.

He's the executive director of 33rd Company.

My wife and I are the mobilization directors.

Basically, we are a new believers movement, an equipping movement, and now an international missions movement.

So we're so excited to start that and take the gospel into the nations.

So, but 33rd Company exists to take the gospel to the most dangerous and unreached places in the world and to equip the everyday believer to make disciples daily.

That is our heart.

That's what we bleed.

You cut us open, and we just talk about disciples, evangelism, and more evangelism and more disciples, and taking ground and reaching cities and pioneering nations.

That's all we care about.

Maybe we're a one-talent ministry, and I'm okay with that.

Yeah, so I'm really excited to be here.

Can you guys just honor your pastor this morning, Pastor David?

We love you, man.

You are an incredible man of God overseeing this house.

God is doing a big thing in Generations Church.

You guys have the best team here.

Do not despise small beginnings.

This church is about to explode.

Amen.

So, yeah, we have several books in the back, two books, and they're great resources if you guys want to dive deeper into how to share your faith, how to disciple people, and kind of like setting the stage for what do I do when I meet people on the streets or at my workplace or in my family after they say yes to Jesus?

Now what?

So that book is called Belong.

And that's kind of the blueprint for America that our co-founders developed.

And it is a space where it's set up at a church, like you guys are gonna do a belong at some point.

And you already have someone leading it, Micah.

Can we just honor Micah and his wife as well?

They're amazing.

Thank you, Jesus, for these amazing people.

So those books are in the back.

We really encourage you to get them.

It's gonna set you on fire because most people they want to share their faith, but they just don't know how, or they're too afraid, or it's usually not a heart issue.

It's usually like, well, how do I do it?

Right?

Because we see people get discipled in church.

We were probably discipled in church, in the four walls.

But there's a lot of discipleship, even in America, that takes place outside the four walls, and there are lots of people doing it.

We just don't always hear about it, we don't always see it unless you go on a mission trip overseas.

It's like we kind of have this culture in America where somebody gets on fire for evangelism in the church, and then we're like, time to go to Guatemala, time to go to Colombia, you know, and time to find a mission trip to do evangelism.

And the heart of the Great Commission was not to just go, it's definitely going, but it's to go to your neighbors, it's to go to your coworkers, go to your family members, and reach the lost and the looking, you know, lost but searching daily.

Find them, they're here.

Amen.

So let's uh let's start with Proverbs 29, 18.

This is a scripture that I believe is something your pastor is actually, uh it's not a prophetic thing.

He told me this.

So I'll say it that way.

God is stirring him up in vision in this season.

And this is also my scripture for this year.

It's prophetic vision.

And let's read this together.

In the ESV, it says it this way where there is no prophetic vision, the people cast off restraint.

But blessed is he who keeps the law, or blessed is he who obeys the voice of God.

But I want to go back to this prophetic vision point.

Without prophetic vision, my people cast off restraint.

Basically, they just kind of sit back.

It's basically what that means.

And the prophetic vision comes in many facets, because it's the kingdom, right?

So it's not just evangelism, it's not just worship, it's not just church, it's a lot of different things.

But today we're gonna focus in on evangelism and discipleship.

That's the prophetic vision that I am releasing today.

Amen?

Because if you have it, the Bible says the contrary must be true.

You won't cast off restraint, you won't just sit back, but you'll take it and run with it.

And that's our goal today.

That's the win, that's the target.

All right.

Let's go down to 2 Timothy chapter 4, verse 2.

2 Timothy 4:2

We have a lot of mindsets in 33rd Company that help us kind of recalibrate and develop a mindset of living on mission or not being not doing witnessing, but being a witness everywhere we go.

We have sayings like we don't go on outreach, we live on outreach.

We don't go do missions, we live on mission.

There's still a going.

We don't want to.

That's not the point of it.

The point is that everywhere you go, you have eyes to see and ears to hear.

What is the Spirit of God speaking to you about the people around you?

And that's in the grocery store, that's at your work, that is in your church parking lot, believe it or not, there are unbelievers that walk past here all the time.

And then being bold enough not just to, you know, not deny your faith, but to share your faith with someone.

And that's why we're here.

We had an amazing time with, I think, 40 or 50 people that came yesterday, and we just had an amazing time just talking about evangelism, some of the lies.

We expose some lies that we believe as believers, that you know, evangelism isn't easy.

People in America don't want to hear it.

I don't want to get rejected, or evangelism's for the evangelist, but not for me.

I'm the serve team, or I'm the worship leader, or these are all lies, or actually, really excuses that the devil loves us to believe.

Because the Bible says we're all supposed to go into all the world and make disciples of all nations.

It didn't list a specific five-fold ministry office there.

It said all of us.

And that is the great commission.

It's not the great suggestion, it's the great commission, it's a command from our God.

We in America, I've noticed because we lived in Zambia for four years, we built a house, we raised our oldest son there, our youngest son we raised in Egypt.

He was born in Cairo.

And, you know, just seeing having a worldview outside of America really taught me to appreciate what God was talking about when he said, make disciples of all nations.

Because you start to think outside of the national box of the USA.

We're really good in America by having our worldview only in this country.

Because we're the best.

We're the best out of all the countries.

We're the most free.

We're the and actually that is true.

We are the best.

I love America.

So we are the best.

But the the flip side of that is it kind of causes us to live in a bubble.

Like there's nothing else out there.

There's no, you know, revival's only happening in America in these pockets and nowhere else in the world.

But that's not true.

God's moving all over the planet.

He's moving in Muslim countries, he's moving in Southeast Asia, He's moving in South America.

And there are apostolic churches all over the world popping up as God's kingdom is advancing right now.

My wife and I have probably been to 25 countries together.

She's got like five more than I do at this point.

So I'll get there eventually.

But I think we're around 30.

But we've preached the gospel in a lot of places.

And I'm gonna preach this message from a place of, I'm not gonna talk so much about my international experiences, but I'm gonna talk to you about what that has taught me in America.

Because that's what's relevant to you.

That's what's gonna help you.

You're probably not gonna go to Africa, or or maybe you will, but most of you aren't.

You're gonna be here, you're gonna work, and you're going to have your family, and that's okay.

And that's really who we're talking to today.

We're talking to the mom that has kids, we're talking to the dad that works a nine to five, only gets a week of vacation every year.

We're talking to those who have busy lives, financial issues, and real life problems.

Us, people.

And you can preach the gospel, you can share your faith, and you can make disciples.

So let's in first in 2 Timothy 4 2, it says, preach the word, be ready in season and out of season.

Convince, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and teaching.

So this idea of be ready in season and out of season.

I want to talk about this for a minute because there are many days where you just don't.

I don't want to say you.

I'm I fall into this.

We don't feel qualified to share our faith.

We had a bad day, we're in the flesh, a lot of problems coming up, a lot of bills to pay, and the last thing you want to even think about is ministering to someone else.

Right?

And we become so inward focused, and we can't even see the people around us because we have all these problems.

And I'm not gonna go down to the, I'm not gonna get to the root of that issue today, which, you know, I would challenge you.

Why are you thinking of yourself so much?

Because Jesus said selfishness is where every root of evil dwells.

That is actually demonic wisdom when we think of ourselves so much we go inward.

I was delivered from demons back in 2015.

And I was in deliverance ministry, and they really helped me.

There was a season of my life where I got delivered from devils, and I needed that inward focus to get out of my addictions.

I was addicted to opiates for nine years.

Praise God, I'm free completely.

But there's a season for inward focus.

So don't leave that out.

But there's also a season to break out of that and actually just live free.

Like, at what point are you gonna just decide whoever the sun sets free is free indeed?

There has to come a moment where the light bulb comes on and you're like, I'm full of the light of God, I'm full of the Holy Ghost, and I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

The boldness starts to rise up.

You speak in tongues, you're filled with the Holy Ghost, and now it's time to be a witness to someone else.

And from that point on, you can have seasons of inward focus, but we always got to recalibrate and say, it's time to see outward.

We have to see the people around us, we got to see our family members that are broken, lost, and looking.

People want to hear the gospel, I promise you.

All over America, we saw eight people saved yesterday.

A lot of those people had never shared their faith to that level, you know?

So when I say you are qualified to share your faith, it's because it's not about you.

It's because it's not about your bad day, it's not about your sin, even.

Because he's washed it away.

Hello?

There's no shame.

Just because you sinned, just because you made a mistake in a day, now you're disqualified from sharing Jesus, the one who forgives you of your sin?

Like it's such a lie.

I'm not saying live in sin and that's okay.

I'm saying when you mess up, that does not disqualify you from sharing your faith and making disciples.

If anything, it gives you a platform to be human and say, hey, even I mess up sometimes.

And if you're going through that season, I'm gonna be vulnerable with you and we're gonna connect because the kingdom's a family.

And when you come into the family, we don't play patty cake and put on this fake face and say, everything's good all the time.

No, it's not, everything is not good all the time.

But we're gonna talk faith, we're gonna be vulnerable, and we're gonna disciple people even through our fleshly moments because it's not about you.

Actually, we don't trust you at all.

We trust the Holy Spirit in you to do the work of the ministry and to make these disciples, not of you, but of Jesus Christ.

You know, in the Bible, I love to challenge this idea of like we have our own disciples.

I don't mind if you call somebody your disciple.

That's not a bone I'm trying to pick.

But biblically, Jesus was the only person that called somebody his disciple.

Paul then calls somebody his disciple.

Sons, Timothy, you're my son, that kind of thing.

Because Paul even said, follow me as I follow Christ.

It's all about him.

We're not trying to make people connected and dependent on us.

We are trying to connect them to the Father as soon as possible.

And that is what discipleship looks like.

How can I connect you to your father that you've been looking for, scratching at, looking for love in all the wrong places and not finding it?

I will connect you to the Father.

That's discipleship.

That's when you open up the scriptures and you say, This is what daddy looks like.

So we disciple.

We disciple people into the family.

We don't put a check on our board.

I got another disciple.

I want to vomit when I hear that.

It's like, guys, it's about coming into the family of God.

We care about the lost because he cares about them.

We care about people getting saved, set free, and delivered because we've been saved, set free, and delivered.

We got something to share.

You have a testimony.

Come on, Brittany.

Come on, Micah, come on, Jay.

Like, I have a testimony.

I just told you I was an opiate addict for nine years.

And I'm not ashamed of that because when you finally understand the gospel, you realize he's not holding your sins against you.

And he's just saying, like, hey, actually, greater am I that is in you now.

You don't have to do it.

My grace will break the back of that sin.

And you can get out of this.

So be ready in season and out of season.

Even when your car breaks down and someone comes to help you, preach the gospel to them.

You know?

If you're in the line, if you're in a hurry, these are actually some of the most powerful moments that I've found.

That when you're doing something, the most inconvenient times for you to share your faith is when God shows up the most.

I think he does that on purpose because he's like, hey, hello.

Alright, you received me as father and savior, but what about Lord and Master?

What about that part?

It's not a democracy, it's a theocracy.

Your opinion doesn't matter.

You don't vote on the policies that the king wrote.

When you say yes to him, you follow him.

You learn everything about his system, his family, his kingdom.

And then you obey him when he says move.

And that is what we're putting our finger on today.

It's not that we don't have the desire to share our faith, it's that we haven't learned to be obedient to do it.

Amen.

A lot of people have said to me, you must have sacrificed a lot moving overseas to a Muslim country or moving overseas with your family.

And we have.

But if I really think about it, the sacrifice, that's not the sacrifice.

The sacrifice is your disobedience.

When you don't obey God and you don't follow Him, you don't experience the kingdom on earth.

You're still born again, you're still going to heaven, but you don't get the fullness of the measure of the stature of Christ moving through you.

You don't get to feel his power.

You don't get to hear the testimonies because you're praying for things to happen, but not being obedient when he tells you to move.

It's not just prayer, it's prayer plus obedience.

There's nobody that was just a prayer warrior in the Bible.

They all prayed and they all went.

Everyone prayed, they went, and they discipled.

And that's kind of the model that we're trying to put back together is yes, we have different roles.

You can be an intercessor, absolutely.

Maybe you share your faith less on the streets than the evangelist.

Probably, that's probably true.

But the point is that we get this in our system.

We start to believe the word of God that we are a part of the Great Commission.

You are, and you have something to share.

Amen.

So let's go to the Great Commission.

Matthew 28, 18 through 20.

We already established that it's not the great suggestion.

Some people think of it that way.

Can you open this for me?

I'm sorry.

I got the mic in my hand.

Appreciate it.

So it's not the great suggestion, it's the great commission.

So let's read this.

Matthew 28, 18 through 20.

And Jesus came and said to them, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations.

Who's he talking to here?

He is, but in the context, who's he speaking to?

His eleven disciples, right?

Minus Judas, he already betrayed him.

So he's not in that.

So, anyways, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey or observe all that I have commanded, the eleven.

Okay?

And behold, I am with you always to the end of the age.

He's saying to his disciples, Your job now is to take the baton and the authority that I have now won for eternity, forever and ever and ever.

The devil is lost his rebel place, because he never had true authority.

He had self-proclaimed rebel authority, proclaiming his own kingdoms that was not blessed by God most high.

But he's saying, Your job is to teach everyone after you, this is discipleship, to obey all the commands that I have given you.

So, what commands have we seen Jesus give to his apostles?

There's a lot of them, right?

Every single thing that Jesus told his apostles is for you.

Let's say Matthew 16, the end, wasn't supposed to be in the Bible.

It was.

It was supposed to be, but a lot of theologians believe it wasn't.

That's the go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature, casting out demons, healing the sick, speaking in tongues.

People try to remove that.

Okay, let's say that for a second.

This says the same thing.

It says to the apostles, teach everyone, everywhere, to obey the exact commands that I gave you.

Well, he told them preach the kingdom, heal the sick, cast out demons, raise the dead, and cleanse the lepers.

Take ground, disciple people, go into every city, every village, every house, and disciple those who will listen.

If they won't kick the dust off your feet, move on.

So those are for you.

If you're wondering what five-fold office you are, it doesn't matter.

You have the function of the apostolic on you because Jesus said of his apostles, your job is to impart this to the rest of the world.

You have that.

If you don't believe you do, you won't be bothered by all these miracles.

And but if you believe it, you will flow in these things, you will see people saved.

Okay.

So I wanna I wanna go over this for a minute a moment.

My time in America, before I was a missionary, before I was a missionary, I I learned how to share my faith, and this is really relevant for you guys.

Who doesn't know how to share their faith?

Please be bold enough to raise your hand.

Okay, cool.

There's a few in the room.

Who shares their faith regularly and sees people actually get saved?

Raise your hand.

Okay, so I saw like three hands that said they don't know how to share their faith, and I saw three hands that said that they get people saved.

So all the other ones who you do know how to share your faith, what are you doing?

Because you didn't raise your hand when I asked if you know how to share your faith or not.

But you're not seeing people saved.

So we don't save people, Jesus does, but you're not just a seed planter.

You're not just planting seeds.

We lead with the gospel.

When we talk to somebody, we don't waste time.

Have you ever heard about Jesus?

Do you know who he is?

Have you heard what the gospel is?

Has anybody ever gave you a clear message of the gospel?

Most people say no.

Yes, I know who Jesus is.

Yes, I'm a Catholic.

Yes.

Okay, sure.

Have you ever heard the gospel?

Not really.

You know, we're in Georgia, we're in the Bible Belt.

Of course, you're gonna meet people that say they're Christian and they know Jesus, but when you really dig in there and you ask them, well, where are you going when you die?

Oh, I'm definitely going to hell.

Well, I thought you knew Jesus.

Okay, you're not saved.

Let's get you saved, right?

These are people that are sliding, they know him, but he doesn't know them.

You know, I know Donald Trump.

He talks all the time.

I know his voice, I know what his face looks like.

I could draw a picture of him, but if I go and knock on his door, he's not gonna let me in.

Because he doesn't know me.

That's that's a lot of Christians that say, Yeah, I know God, I know, I know Jesus.

All right, cool.

When you knock on his door someday, does he know you?

Does he know you?

Or do you just read the Bible?

You read the newspaper about Jesus, you read the scriptures, it's completely a religion, and you think you're not religious, but you are.

You know, Jesus said they honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.

Of the Pharisees.

It is possible to honor Jesus and say, I believe in you as my Lord and Savior, and your heart completely be detached from the Father.

And if that's someone in this room, don't be shamed by that.

Just take it and be like, God, I gotta know you.

I can't live this way anymore.

I have to know you.

We have to talk.

Secret place conversations washing over you, teaching you.

Alright, my time in America.

I had a friend named Dustin, and uh I was terrified to share my faith.

This was back in like 2014.

I just got delivered from devils and got off of opiates.

I joined a youth group as a leader.

I should have never been a leader over that youth group.

But, anyways, they gave me a shot, and my buddy Dustin, he was an evangelist, and he was an evangelist.

God has mercy on us, praise the Lamb.

And he was an evangelist, and he had this script that he would go off.

It was basically the Roman road.

You know, all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.

The wages of that sin is death, the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ.

If you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus died and rose again, that he is the Son of God, then you will be saved.

And he showed me how to lead people to Jesus just with that short little Roman road script.

And we would go frisbee golfing, because I love frisbee golfing, it was fun.

You can talk and play at the same time, and who cares who wins?

It's not really a you know serious sport for us, at least.

Sorry if that's if you're a professional frisbee golf player.

It's a serious sport.

However, we would lead like anywhere from one to like 15 people to Jesus while we were frisbee golfing.

And that was kind of my introduction.

He he taught me how to break out of that mold, and he would kind of say, like, hey, really, hey, how you doing?

Can I get a second of your time?

Yeah, sure.

What do you want?

You know, some random person.

Have you ever heard about Jesus?

You know, something simple like that.

For us, we have a script that we have, it's a gospel guide.

You can find the link in the back.

But really, it's just getting over that fear to share your faith, to go up to somebody, a stranger, and talk to them.

So I would lead a bunch of people to Jesus, and I'm like, oh wow, this is really easy.

This is so easy.

And then I went to a place called Dollar General Distribution Center before I was a missionary, and I went there to evangelize the place.

There was 200 staff, there were 200 uh employees on ground, and I was like a warehouse guy, so I had my forklift.

I was a picker, so I was picking boxes and putting labels on them, putting them in a crate and taking them to the dock.

And at this point, I'm already all fired up.

I had seen miracles, healings, deliverances.

I see people get saved frisbee golfing, and I'm like, I got this, it's time to go.

And I go and I start preaching every day once I get uh employed, and I kid you not, three months went by and not a single person gave their life to Jesus.

Because you know, warehouses, sometimes they're some of the most lost people.

Not all of them.

I'm not saying in Wisconsin, let me just focus on that.

In Wisconsin, a lot of brokenness, a lot of hard blue-collar guys, like me.

I was a mechanic.

I'm one of them.

And sometimes, those are the scariest person that's scariest people to minister to because they're just rough and tough and whatever.

Three months go by, and I'm like, Lord, I did not come here to waste my time.

I came here to see this place absolutely explode with your gospel.

These are lost people, and there was really, I'm not kidding, there was probably just a couple Christians there that I found.

This is in Janesville, Wisconsin, you know.

And the Lord told me, okay, well, every day you go in there, I want you to release my peace.

Like, command peace to come on the place.

And I'm like, what does that even mean?

But in Matthew 10, when he tells his disciples to go preach a kingdom, he says, When you enter into a house or city or a place, inquire in who is worthy and a person of peace, and stay there and disciple them.

If there's not a person worthy of peace there, if they don't receive, then let your peace return back to you.

It's really interesting.

So somehow we release something as Christians, we shift the atmosphere of the place that we're in, and that releases something in the room, the kingdom, the peace, and then the blinders that the devil is using on the unbeliever, and the veil over their heart starts to come off because the peace of God that surpasses understanding will guard your heart and your mind.

The devil has blinded the minds of those who are perishing and veiled the hearts of those who are perishing.

That's what he does.

So, anyways, I started doing that for two weeks.

I stopped preaching because I was irritated.

And one day, a guy comes up to me in the aisle and he starts like telling me his whole life story.

And I'm like, so irritated.

I'm like, dude, I am working.

I am working.

And the Lord taps me on my shoulder and he's like, peace is rested upon him.

Preach the gospel.

So I preached to him, he gets saved right there in the aisle.

And I'm like, that was easy.

Three months go by and nothing.

Next day, another guy comes by on a forklift, and he's like, dude, you're glowing, you're glowing.

And I'm like, what is happening?

I'm glowing.

And he was a Jehovah's Witness.

Hear the Lord say, peace is rested upon him, preach the gospel.

Preach to him.

He renounces the cult of Jehovah's Witness, but that's not a Christian church.

I don't know who in here came from that background, but that ain't God.

They don't say Jesus is divine.

They don't say he is God, they just say he's an ordinary man.

I'm sorry, that is heresy.

And so he repented of that.

He got delivered from devils right there in the aisle.

And I got to go to his dad's house who had passed away, and he was a black witch.

He practiced like black magic and stuff.

And I burned about a whole trash bag full of like, you know, heavy witchcraft and whatnot.

The next day, a guy that I had preached to before comes running up to me.

His name was Kyle.

And he says, Hey, preacher, because they called me the warehouse preacher.

They said, Hey preacher.

He's like, What if I don't want to go to hell and I don't want to go to heaven either?

Then what?

I'm like, well, what if you murder somebody and you go to the judge and you're like, hey, I don't want to go free and I don't want to go to jail.

Where are you going?

He's like, well, he'd send me to jail.

And I'm like, exactly.

You say that to God, you're going to hell.

Like, because you done wrong, buddy.

You're a sinner.

And you need to receive Jesus.

And he's like, well, what's hell like?

And I'm like, well, I don't know.

I'm not going there.

But I hear it's really hot.

And so I kid you not, five minutes, he scurries away.

I'm picking boxes.

And he comes back five minutes later, running down the hallway, sweating profusely, like his whole shirt was drenched in sweat.

And he's like, I'll say the prayer.

I'll say the prayer.

And to this day, I have no idea what God did to him.

If he just showed him a glimpse of what hell was like, or and it just lit him up.

And he got born again.

This happened like 14 days in a row.

I'm not kidding.

And then I told the Lord, I said, This is too easy.

Give me the hard ones.

That night, two guys from Second Shift, three guys from Second Shift showed up.

They came the next day.

These three guys, like the most voisterous.

The one guy was an atheist.

He was like this tall, huge guy.

So voisterous, so loud, obnoxious.

And then the other guy was a metrosexual.

I don't even know what that means.

And then the next guy was agnostic.

He didn't know what he believed.

I get a hold of the agnostic that day, start leading him to Jesus.

I stick my hand out to say the prayer with them.

And Kenny, the atheist from like three aisles over, he starts manifesting a demon and he starts screaming, it's not real.

God's not real.

It's not real.

None of it's real.

It's fake.

And he says, the guy I'm leading to Jesus, because he doesn't, you know, he's not watching his mouth.

He says, F you, Kenny, you know, F you, Kenny.

I, if I want to get saved, I could go to heaven if I want to.

And he gets saved right there.

Right?

Then I start working on the atheist and the metrosexual guy, and this Baptist guy got filled with the Holy Ghost, and now he's with me, and the guy that was Jehovah's Witness is now sharing their faith.

And we're changing this thing.

200 employees, and you know, this was a month in after three months of nothing.

I was there for nine months.

By the time I left, I'm not kidding, there's like these big warehouses, Dollar General, all over the country.

In that time, our facility was hitting record numbers in every single department.

Every single department.

We had too much overtime, we didn't know what to do with.

The atmosphere completely shifted into place.

It was like rich.

There was a rich atmosphere because the kingdom started to grow.

And it starts with individuals, it starts with families, and then it expands into territories and you start taking ground.

But you got to do it consistently, you got to do it regularly, and you can't be afraid of what people think of you.

And that became a like a model car.

I I look at it like that for the nations, for me and my wife.

And since then, we have been before very influential people, and in my opinion, discipled at least one country, Zambia.

So but let's go on to let's go on to Galatians.

Oh, sorry, I want to deal with a lie quick.

I'll deal with a lie.

And that is that miracles only happen overseas on missions trips.

People are just more open over there, they had more faith.

I'm gonna tell you what happens when you go on a mission trip overseas.

You pray for six months for that two-week trip, you raise the funds, you believe God for the people, you start getting visions for the people you're going to minister to.

Six months in advance, your church gets behind you, they're praying for that one two-week trip.

And then when you finally get there, you spend five hours a day evangelizing in focused ministry time for two weeks.

And that is why you see miracles, that is why you see God move, because everything I just explained, if you did that here, you would see the same results.

If you we went ministered for an hour and a half yesterday, it was not a lot of time.

We do that on purpose because we want to show you like, what if you did two hours?

A few more souls would come into the kingdom, you know?

What if you did five hours a week?

What if you divided the time in the church?

What if every one of you led somebody to Jesus once a year and discipled them?

The kingdom would grow.

Jesus would probably be here already if the church was doing what it was supposed to be doing.

And that comes to my next point.

I'm gonna skip down to this one.

Sorry, I'm not gonna do that yet.

I'm gonna stick to my notes.

I'm gonna do it.

Galatians 1.10.

And I wrote this are you afraid to share your faith?

Or is it really just the fear of man?

You know, are you afraid of I want to be liked?

What if they don't like me?

The gospel is loving, I don't want to offend anyone, especially my close family members, my friends, and my co-workers, because I see them every day.

I'll preach to people I don't see every day because there's less impact on me if it goes south.

But my family members, I gotta maintain relationship.

Guys, I know how this goes.

My brother's an LGBTQ guy, and he's married to a white witch.

They're the executive directors for LGBTQ in their city, and their little boy has long hair, and their little girl, who's 11 now, she thinks she's a boy.

All right, I know what it's like.

I have preached to them, and it almost broke our relationship, but I can't let them say, I'm a Christian.

I'm sorry.

You don't know the gospel because a Christian is not just receiving God as father and savior, but you must receive him as Lord and Master.

And that means you don't write the script.

That means I'm not trying to write a sin line, I'm not trying to get away with stuff, I'm not trying to see the rules.

I want to find everything out about my king and come under his kingdom.

And so now they don't call themselves Christians anymore.

And I'm I'm like, okay, well, you're unbelievers, sinners, sin, and I guess that's okay for now.

At least I preached to you.

But family members, in my experience, the ones that probably won't come in your mind are the first ones you need to preach to.

Because if you can break ground with them, the whole family shoots into revival.

My uncle, who was in prison for 18 years, he's now a believer.

He's leading his children to Jesus.

My cousin, who was a heroin addict for 16 years, who got me into drugs when I was 13 at a family reunion.

He's born again.

He's out of heroin.

My second cousin, Rachel, and her husband, who is like the jock in the family, couldn't go to a family event, a birthday party without a cooler of beer.

So loud about everything, so obnoxious.

He's born again on fire for God because I pushed past that uncomfortable place.

What if the jock doesn't like me in the family?

He's gonna bully me.

He's gonna, whatever.

He was the one that got it the most.

He was the one that took that gospel message.

The Spirit of God touched him.

He's now baptizing the Holy Ghost.

He's speaking in tongues, he's discipling his own people.

That's right there in Janesville, Wisconsin.

And your family members can be like that too.

And if we don't, if we don't reach our family members, the Bible actually, this is harsh, but it says we're worse than an unbeliever.

Whoever neglects their blood, their family, it's it's talking about your bloodline, your cousins, your brothers, your sisters.

You're worse than an unbeliever.

That's what it says in Proverbs.

It's not just saying we pray for them, it's saying we actually talk to them about Jesus.

And you can do it.

And so what?

What's the worst that can happen?

They say you're crazy, I don't like that Jesus stuff.

Well, what if it works?

What if your family member gets radically delivered from their lifestyle of the world?

They get Jesus, they get on fire, and your whole family bursts into revival because you reach one person.

Because they usually become the one that reaches the rest.

Alright.

Galatians 1 10 says, For I am now, for am I now seeking the favor of men or of God?

Or am I striving to please men?

Listen to this.

Servant-hearted hospitality, amazing people in the room.

This isn't to shame you.

If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.

If you don't want to share your faith because you want to please men, you can't be a bondservant of Christ.

You can't do it to please men.

You have to do it to please God.

And if you're pleasing God, he's gonna cause you to do things that are uncomfortable.

Because he didn't call you to live a comfortable life, he called you to live a supernatural life, an obedient life, one where you see God move every day.

I'm not bored in the kingdom.

I see God move.

We just cast the devil out of a woman this morning.

Like, it was awesome.

It was so cool.

You know, God sends people to you when you are doing the work.

To him who has more will be given.

Once you start doing this, then you get the gravy work when people start coming to you to hear the gospel.

But you got to start going to them first, otherwise, God doesn't trust you with his riches of the kingdom.

Amen.

All right, let's go to this.

Your identity really matters.

So Numbers 13, 26 through 33, and we'll end here.

We'll end here, and then I'll pray for you and we'll be done.

Okay, Numbers 13, 26 through 33.

I love this story.

I use it in so many different contexts because it really reveals heart.

So this is the Israelites traveling in the wilderness.

There's the promised land, obviously.

Moses is supposed to take them in.

So they send spies to the promised land, spied out.

And you got Joshua and Caleb, but I think Caleb was the one that went in first.

At the end of the forty days, they returned.

So this is verse 26 through 33.

At the end of the forty days, they returned from spying out the land, and they came to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation of the people of Israel in the wilderness of Peran and Kedesh.

They brought back word to them and to the congregation and showed them the fruit of the land.

Sounds good so far.

And they told him, We came to the land to which you sent us.

It does flow with milk and honey, and this is its fruit.

However, the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified, and and and and very large.

And besides, we saw the descendants of Anak there.

The Amalekites dwell in the land of the Negab, the Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in a hill country, and the Canaanites dwell by the sea and along the Jordan.

But Caleb praise God for Caleb.

But Caleb quieted the people.

Hey, Shush.

I hear unbelief coming in a room.

He says, What is this report that's coming in?

Shush for a second.

Let me tell you something.

And he says before Moses and said, Let us go up at once and occupy it, for we are well able to overcome it.

Then the men who had gone up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we are.

So they brought to the people of Israel a bad report of the land that they had spied out, saying, The land through which we have gone to it spy it out is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people that we saw in it are of great height.

And there we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, the Nephilim.

It's funny.

Who come from we make Nephilim?

Never mind.

We come from the Nephilim, and we seemed to ourselves like grasshoppers, and so we seemed to them like grasshoppers.

Couple things.

Unbelief always comes with a bad report over the land.

Noonan is the land.

Georgia.

There are people, Christians, that have put a bad report over this land.

And then there are Calebs and Joshua's, and they are the few.

That they're like, hey, no, we will not receive that bad report over our land.

But we are well able to overcome this ground.

I don't care about the giants.

I see them, and we're gonna take them down.

And that is the spirit that I want to impart this morning to you, for your family members, for your co workers, for everybody you see.

It's the spirit of Caleb that says, If God is in me, who can be against me?

Greater is He that is in me than He that's in the world.

I will always have the victory in Christ Jesus.

We are more than conquerors in him, and we are well able to overtake this land.

You will not have my family, you will not have my job, you will not have my finance.

In the name of Jesus, we are gonna take down these giants.

And that is what I want you to get in your heart.

Because once you get that, all things are possible for him who believes.

You are the one who believes.

All things are possible with men, with the bad or poor people, not possible.

But with the ones who rely on God and they say, Not by power, not by might, but by the Spirit of God, we will do this.

You will overtake, you will overcome and recover all.

Hallelujah.

Hallelujah.

It's really important how we see ourselves because other people will see us that way too.

When we lived in Muslim Egypt, it's illegal to share our faith there.

We cannot do it by law.

And everyone says the bad report people, the other missionaries there, the Christians, you can't preach direct to Muslims.

They'll kick you out.

And we're like, hey, thank you for that.

I appreciate your time and your service here.

We honor you, but I'm gonna tell you something.

Be quiet.

That's the only thing we're gonna do here.

We're gonna preach direct to Muslims, and they're gonna convert because they deserve the gospel.

And if we don't make it out, so be it.

But we're gonna preach.

And guess what?

For three years, three and a half years, we tried to get kicked out of that country and they kept letting us back in.

Imagine that.

And Muslims came to Jesus, they got baptized because when there's a bad report, there's always all the giants.

And take this land, it's the good land.

And that's Noonan.

This is a promised land for you guys.

And you know, apply that to your own life.

But you can do it.

Don't receive the bad report.

If family members said, Oh, they're too far gone, they'll never come, that's a bad report.

I cancel that in Jesus' name, and I'm gonna start prophesying over my lost cousins, over my lost sons and daughters, and over my lost family members, my congregation.

I will speak life, not death, and we will have a great harvest.

This is the word of faith that we preach.

It's not the word of faith denomination, it's the gospel that Jesus preached.

That's the spirit that's in you.

It is a witness, it overcomes.

You have been filled with the power of God, not to just pray in tongues and sit in church, but to do something with the anointing that comes on you.

The Spirit of the Lord is upon you to preach good news to the poor, to set the oppressed free, to break every yoke, and to bind up the brokenhearted.

Let us stir your faith.

Let the faith arise inside of your heart.

Let's send your faith.

You're gonna start to see with eyes that you didn't see with before and ears that you didn't hear with before.

These are things that kings and prophets long to look into, but they could not see.

But you, the least in the kingdom of heaven, have been given the mysteries.

You have been given the things that have been not been made known from ages and generations past, have now been freely given to us.

These are some of those keys.

People actually get born again.

The inhabit the uninhabitable become inhabited by Christ the King.

His kingdom comes inside.

It changes families, it changes atmospheres.

You are not little old me.

You might be little, you might be good looking, you might be ugly, you might not be, you might be black, you might be white.

It does not matter.

You your flesh does not determine who you are.

You're a spirit being, you live forever, and God is really, really big.

And he lives in you, and your problem, if you stop making it so big, and you start making God so big, your problem just starts to diminish.

I've found that times where I feel like I need deliverance and I feel like I need inner healing still because I got a lot of brokenness in my past.

Sometimes I do, and sometimes I've gotten too inward focused.

And when you get inward focused, things just start to grow.

That shouldn't be there.

The mold starts to grow.

Because we're not designed by God to just sit in church and sit on our blessed assurance, waiting for the Savior to come back.

We were created to take dominion in the earth and be fruitful and multiply.

That created assignment has not changed.

This is not the Garden of Eden.

This is the war ground where we take back the land that the giants have started to inhabit.

This is our ground.

This is not Noonan's ground.

This is God's ground.

It's the king's ground, and we're his ambassadors to do it, to carry out the work.

Some of you are engineers, some of you are teachers, some are you, some of you, you work for churches, you all have a different assignment in the kingdom, but we all have the same assignment to reach the lost and make disciples.

Take that up right now, Father God.

Just posture yourself to receive.

This is his stuff.

Thank you, Lord, right now.

I just release all over this room.

The evangelistic grace that you have put on your church, Lord, I pray that it activates inside of people right now.

Apostolic evangelistic pioneering, breaking ground, Caleb's Spirit, in Jesus' name, rest upon your people.

Let deep cry out to deep that which you've done for them.

Let that be the testimony that drives them in desire and passion for those around them.

Open up their eyes, open up their ears, Lord.

Give us eyes to see and ears to hear.

Give us understanding, give us prophetic vision right now.

Lord, we don't just want the one, we want the whole city.

We want the whole state.

Lord, we want our nation back.

Lord, teach us how to advance your kingdom right where we're at.

Teach us how to see the one that leads to families, to cities, to nations.

Release blueprints in the room right now.

Put names on people's hearts.

I believe God's doing that right now.

You have family members.

You know, I always ask myself, what if they died today?

Where would they go?

What if I died today?

What would happen to my family?

Who's gonna preach to them?

My wife and I, and my mom, who's getting old, we are the ones in the family that carry the kingdom.

What if something happens to us before we share that with our family members?

Just let that sink in.

You have a job.

It's not pressure, it's an opportunity.

For you to reach, to be the hands and feet of Christ, to be light in a dark world, to be a city on a hill that cannot be hidden, to be salt and preservation life to those who are perishing, and nobody is doing anything about it.

So, Lord, I just ask right now for you to give grace for those who just need to repent.

Your pastor, I know he won't mind me saying this.

He publicly repented with the most humble, pure heart yesterday.

And it broke my heart because we have this saying that leaders go first.

Leaders go first.

And you have a pastor who is a leader, he does share his faith sometimes.

You know what I mean?

He's done it before, he's led people to Jesus, and he even even he's like, I'm I repent.

I need to be more active in this, I need to see that the Great Commission is for me as well.

And he's the one doing all the not all, a lot of the work at the church.

So just if you need to come to the front, let's take this moment, get with the Lord, repent, get real with him.

He loves you, he's not trying to beat you over the head.

If you've never done this before and it's new to you, just come up to the front and receive the grace that he has for you.

Not everybody will do this, there will be a few that are chosen because they have a Caleb spirit, and those are the ones that get the promised land.

You'll go to heaven if you believe in Jesus and you've chosen to follow him.

But there are some, even in this room, there's still more, that are like, I want to be like Caleb, I want to be like Joshua, I want to see the God opportunities in the giants in my land, not as opposition, but for me to take down.

So if our team, can we just go around, lay hands on people?

This is a beautiful moment.

Let God touch you.

This is all about you and Him.

We're leaving tonight on an airplane.

We won't be back for a while.

You won't see my face again for a long time.

This is between you and God.

He loves you.

Don't be concerned about someone else around you, what they think.

If you want to get something, if you want to get this impartation from the Lord, it is available.

The atmosphere is ready, the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.

There are people in Noonan that need the gospel shared with them and around them.

Some of you are in school still, you got members, you got friends in school that you know you need to share the gospel with, and you just need that little push.

Need that little push.

If you're afraid, if you're a young person, I'm really hearing the Lord talk to young people right now, teenagers, ones that you're kind of teetering on the edge of do I want to live a life of sin and enjoy my flesh for a while, or do I want to serve the Lord?

Take it from someone who served his flesh for a while.

You don't want to do that.

Go after the Lord and get the promised land.

It's milk and honey, it's goodness and mercies.

When you chase after the world and you chase after relationships and you chase after uh sexual desire, even you get the ramifications of that sin.

You're still going to heaven, you're not gonna go to hell because of it, but there are consequences for those things, and you can avoid that.

Get busy right now, just decide in your heart I'm not gonna go sleep around, I'm not gonna do drugs, I'm not gonna go party.

I know I was looking forward to that this weekend, this next weekend.

Let the Lord wash over you.

Holy Spirit, right now, we just ask for a fresh wind.

In Jesus' name, start blowing through this place all over.

If you're in the crowd and you just want to touch from God, you're already doing this, just stretch out your hands like you're receiving a gift.

If you feel something in you that's like, man, I don't know if I'm ready for all that.

That's okay.

God still loves you.

This isn't a competition, this is an invitation.

It took me a long time before I was ready to share my faith and serve the Lord because I was selfish.

I was really, really selfish, and God's still working some of that out of me today.

But saying yes to Jesus is a commitment.

It does come with a cost, it means you can't you don't get to do what you want to do.

He gives you new desires, it gives you new desires of your heart.

Thank you, Lord, more.

More.

Thank you for this family right here.

In Jesus' name.

In Jesus' name.

More, Lord.

Thank you, Jesus.

Thank you, Lord, more.

Release your kingdom in this room, Lord.

Your angels in this room, Jesus.
