God Leads Revival | Eld Terence Atkinson

You're listening to a message to go from Acts Church.

We hope this message will light up your day.

God leads revival. God leads revival. That's the title of

today's message. And you know, gosh, revival again. You got

to be revived in your spirit to see God do

great things and God do great works. So it's not

just about revival for other people, but it's also revival

about yourself. And perhaps you will learn some of the

things that have been hindrances in your own life today

that you'll be able to overcome after this and see breakthroughs.

So we're going to be reading from Acts 16. And

we heard a little bit about this in yesterday's prayer.

I was thinking, oh my, he's sharing my message today.

And then I said, okay, no, it's all right. It's

all right. Because he was sharing something else. Pastor Daniel

was sharing something else. So I'm going to get into this, okay?

So Acts chapter 16, verses reading from verse 16 to 34.

Acts 16 · chapter mention

All right, but let's read the first few verses. Now

it happened that as we went to prayer, that a

certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination, who

brought her masters much profit by fortune telling. The girl

followed Paul and us and cried out saying, these men

are the servants of the most high God who proclaim

to us the way of salvation. And this she did

for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said

to the spirit, I command you in the name of

Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came

out that very hour. But when her masters saw that

their hopes of profits were gone, they seized Paul and

Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to the authorities. Now,

a few things that you'll get from this first scripture,

first few scriptures is this. As it happened, Paul and

Silas were going to pray. Alright? It was a time

when they went to pray. They wanted to set aside

something to do for God. Right? Now, this girl with

the demon in her, you know, it wasn't only at

that moment that she was disturbing Paul and Silas. In fact,

the Scripture says, and this she did for many days. So,

It seemed as if when you read this verse that

she said this verse and then continued after many days. Actually, no,

it's the other way around. She was doing this for

many days and on this day, Paul decided to do

something about it. You get it? All right. Now, she

said something that sounded pretty good, right? Correct or not?

She said, these men are the servants of the Most

High God who proclaim to us the way of salvation.

Right?

So you got to ask yourself, why was Paul greatly annoyed?

Let me give you an answer. If she said it

like this, these men are the servants of the Most

High God who proclaim to us the way of salvation.

You'd like that, right? Would you get angry with that? No,

because it sounds so nice, right? It's true, right? It

sounds so well, right? How many of you have heard

possessed people speak? I have. Trust me, it's not like this.

It might have sounded something like this. It might have

sounded something like, would you get irritated at that? Trust me,

I have heard possessed people speak. It's like that. It's

not nice. It doesn't sound good. But Paula, you got

to give him credit. He is patient many days. Before that,

she was doing this and he didn't do anything about

it until it got in the way of his time

You see what Scripture says? When they went to prayer,

this girl came and disturbed them. How many of us

allow irritation to go on so much so it interferes

with our time with God? that it interferes with what

God has meant for us. How many of us have

allowed that? I confess I have. You see, I pray

in the morning for a service before I come and

share the Word of God. I get up early in

the morning and I go walking. In the dark, it's quiet,

it's cool. I can just concentrate on praying. for the service,

praying for you. But I remember telling you I had

this problem with my knee, right? Which God healed me of.

But there's an underlying problem that happened later on. My

knee was still hurting, so I stopped walking that much,

which interfered with my prayer for the message and prayer

for service and stuff like that. So, I met the

same person who worked on my knee, a physiotherapist, and

he said this. He says, your knee has muscles on

the side. There's muscles on the side. But when your

kneecap was out of place for four months, what happened

is the muscle came into the territory which was occupied

by the kneecap. All right? When you don't do the

right thing, something else will come and take its place.

All right? So my kneecap was out of whack and

the muscle had grown in the position where it shouldn't be.

So the guy told me that now your kneecap is

back in place, the muscle is competing for that space.

So it's going to take some time for it to

realize it's not supposed to be in the front, it's

supposed to be at the side. Let me tell you

what I did last week. I was so irritated when

I was walking that this thing was giving me trouble.

I rebuked it in the name of Jesus. I command

you pain in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Depart from me. Go. You are disturbing my time with

the Lord. You will not get in the way of

me praying for the service. It's not going to work anymore.

Immediately the pain left. And I walked. So came to today, right?

No pain when I walked. My whole five kilometers of

praying for you, one hour plus, no pain. This is

like what happened. You see, and the Lord just opened

my eyes to this and said, it's because you rebuked

that which was getting in the way of your service

with the Lord. So how many of you have issues

that are preventing you from serving the Lord and these

issues have become so real in their life, it's now

bothering you all the time? What is Scripture telling you?

Comes a time where you have to rebuke it. And

you tell it, get out of your life. Get out

of your life. You do good. Is the world happy

that you do good? Ask yourself this question. So we

love living in the world, right? We love doing its things, right?

Is the world happy when you do good things? Ask

yourself this question. How many of you have done so

many good things in your workplace and your boss comes

after you because of it? I tell you, I was

with this firm. I don't know where I've told you

this before. I was in this firm. I just joined

and they were making plastic pipes. You know, PVC pipes, right?

So PVC pipes is made from a white powder. It's

a resin, which under extreme heat and pressure comes out

as PVC pipes. So at that time, there was a

severe shortage in the world of the resin. So the

resin actually comes from Europe, Germany. There was a shortage,

and although you may have the money to pay, you

couldn't buy it. So this is going to become a

problem for this place I was working, this factory. So

I walked behind, and you know, every time the first

pipe comes out, it's not perfect. So they will cut

it away and throw it aside. Cut it away, throw it,

until the pipe starts coming out properly, okay? So I

went behind and I told my boss, look at all this.

The pipe is 100% recyclable? Yes. I said, would you

agree you've got about 500 tons of wastage at the back?

He looked at me and said, yes. I said, it's

costing you $ 25, 000 a month to keep all of this.

Because that's the cost of the LC to buy 500

tons of resin. So I thought he'd be happy, right?

You know what he did? He called the general manager.

Come here. In front of me, you know. He tells

the general manager this. This guy came here for one

month and he's told me this. You've been working here

for 15 years. How come you cannot tell me? That

was it. My career there was gone. Because now, the

general manager had become my enemy. And made my life

so miserable there. So you see, it's like what scripture says.

Sometimes you do a good thing, people not happy. It's okay.

It's okay. Don't stop doing good things. Because what profits God,

listen to this, what profits God causes loss to the enemy.

What profits God causes loss to the enemy. You think

the enemy is going to keep quiet? He's going to react.

This is what happened. Verse 20. And they brought them

to the magistrates and said, these men being Jews exceedingly

trouble our city. And they teach customs which are not

lawful for us being Romans to receive or observe. What customs?

Always remember that against truth, the enemy only has lies.

When you are living a truthful life, there are only

lies that can be spoken against you. And you know what?

God does not operate in lies. He operates in truth.

So already these people who lie about you, already these

people who give you trouble, they're.

At a loss.

I'll tell you another testimony. This one happened while I

was preaching the word in Clank. I remember this, okay?

Preaching the word in Klang. And when I was sharing

the word in Klang, my phone rang and Elder Mabel

answered it. And the person in the other line was

a senior person in the company I was with. And

he was very, very rude to Elder Mabel. So Elder

Mabel said, he's preaching now. The guy said, I don't care.

After I finished preaching, I called him. Then he tells me,

who is more important, your God or your work? When

I call, you answer. I remember this. I was on

the way to the elevator. I turned to Ella Mabel

and I pronounced a word Before I could stop the word,

it came out. I told her, because he's done this,

you watch. This is going to happen very shortly. I

went back to work the next day. I was actually

prepared to resign. Because God can find me another job.

You don't ever put your company ahead of my God.

But he apologized. Okay? He apologized. But you know that

did not stop the word from coming to pass. Within

three months, that pronouncement came to pass. And it's not pretty.

The enemy tries to trap you. So don't be surprised

if many rise up against you or that you seem alone.

The multitude has a long history of always picking the

wrong side. Don't be worried about crowds. Are people ganging

up against you? Don't worry. You know why I say

don't worry? Throughout history, the crowds always pick the wrong side.

Look at it. Elder Mabel just reminded me. He said,

look at it. The same people who witnessed the miracles

of Jesus were the same ones who called for his crucifixion.

So don't be worried about crowds. Don't be worried about multitudes.

If you've got a God to live for, you better

live for that God. So I'm sharing this to you

today because you need to start living with that God

and for that God. Because time is short. Then the

multitude rolls up together against them and the magistrates, oh,

this is a lot of drama. The magistrates tore their

clothes and commanded them to be beaten with rods. The magistrates,

I mean, come on. These jokers are complaining about somebody else,

you go and tear your clothes off. Does it make

sense to you? Does it make sense to me? You

got to pay for your own clothes, right? You tear it,

what happens? Who loses? You lose, right? What's so much

a drama? Don't be swayed by the drama of people.

Don't be swayed by the drama of the world. And

you know what? When drama happens... it might cause you pain.

Because you know what they did? The magistrates commanded them

to be beaten with rods. How many of you feel

beaten on? Do you know that it's going to hurt

to do the right thing? In my experience, when you

do the right thing, you get hurt. I told you

the last time I was here, My father punched me

in the face because I told him I believe in Jesus.

Punched me in the face. But praise the Lord, God

protected my face because my father was a boxer. But

praise the Lord, I didn't lose any teeth. Neither did

I get a swollen face. I was okay. I was okay.

45 years later, my father, now in hospital dying, declares, Jesus! Jesus!

Strong declaration. 45 years. In fact, the other day when

I went to see him, he's now in the house.

The doctors cannot believe how come he's alive. Because he

is really quite ill. But every time you ask him, Dad,

how are you? I'm fine, how are you? And then

after that he tells me, Terrence, I know you and

Malcolm are praying for me. I mean, how wonderful is that? No,

if I were to show you what really his condition is,

you would not understand. Then you would begin to understand

why this is such a great confession. So it's like this.

You do the right thing, it will hurt you sometimes.

Do you fall to pieces? Don't. Don't fall to pieces.

Develop a backbone. Because Scripture says that it's quite common

to get persecuted. It's quite common. The same ones that

persecuted me when I became a Christian by contacting the

people I was staying with in Singapore, telling all sorts

of bad things about me, are the same ones who

today have apologized and said, I'm very sorry I ever

did such a thing because we've seen your life and

we know that what you are doing is right. How

cool is that? Guys. And when they had laid many

stripes on them, they threw them into prison. commanding the

jailer to keep them securely. Having received such a charge,

he put them in a prison and fastened their feet

in the stocks. Do you know that the enemy wants

you to disappear? He doesn't want you to be hurt.

So when you are around.

And you don't speak the name of Jesus, you don't

share the name of Jesus, you're playing into what the

enemy wants of you.

What is our purpose here on earth? It is to

share the Lord. It is to share... Nobody said you

got to get them saved, okay? You didn't die on

the cross for them. Jesus died on the cross for them.

But what's your responsibility? Tell them. That's your responsibility. Tell them.

Share Jesus with them. 45 years later, they may receive

the Lord. And the enemy is afraid of that. He

is so afraid you will open your mouth and talk

about Jesus. Hey, nobody says you have to put a

soapbox and start speaking to a crowd. No, nobody says that.

But whoever you come across who's having trouble, hey, can

I pray for you? And then you end the prayer

in Jesus' name. Then you say, I believe in Jesus.

He loves you. He's healed me. I've prayed for your healing.

You can do that, right? Isn't that sharing the name

of Jesus? How many of you got parents who are

not saved? Can I see your hands? Don't start by

telling them they are wrong. Don't ever tell your parents

they are wrong. They brought you up, they gave you life,

they fed you, they sent you to school. Don't do that.

You know what you do? Every time you see them,

You give them a hug and say, I love you, Dad.

I love you, Mom. First reaction will be a shock

and a shiver. Are you okay? That's what my parents

did when I told them that the first time. Are

you okay? Serious. They thought I was going to die.

So I told them this. I said, when my children

come and tell me that they love me, I feel

so good and I realize I've not told you. Why

do I need to wait until you're gone to say

over your grave, I love you? Better I tell you now,

isn't it? So you can hear it and you know

how I feel. My parents, old school, okay, I've never

heard them say I love you until that point of time.

And after that, they started to tell me, I love you.

Not just me, you know. to my siblings as well,

it started a movement. That's how you get your parents safe.

Talk the language of love. I'll give you some other

scripture in a while that's going to encourage you. So,

do not tell them, hey, you're wrong. My first few times,

you see, I was a Catholic. So I faced much opposition.

So for me, my first few years as a born-again

Christian was debates. Oh, I know so much about the

Catholic faith. I know all the ins and outs way back,

their history. Why? Because I had to have debates with priests.

I had to have debates with the archbishop. The present

archbishop of KL, I've had a debate with him. But

you see, truth will always win. And lies cannot stand up.

So the enemy wants you to disappear. So are you

going to remain quiet? Yeah. You better not. Because now

you're playing into the hands of the enemy. Do you

want the enemy to win? No. No. Paul and Silas

were praying and singing hymns to God. I want you

to know it was their desire to pray that got

them into this trouble in the first place. Right or not?

And now, prayer was going to get them out. Paul

and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God. Guys,

do you realize that there are certain aspects of your

life that must never change in spite of your circumstance.

Despite your circumstance, certain things must never change. God asked

me to ask you this. What does God mean to you?

Is He your God only when things are going right?

Or is He your God when you are in the deepest,

darkest pit? Only you can answer that question. But I

want you to know it's such an important question to

ask yourself because the next message I'm preparing for is

a really, really tight one, guys. The Lord has already

given me the next message I'm supposed to share after

this as a real tight one. It's one of those

messages where it'll shake the dead. at midnight. And suddenly,

you know what this word suddenly means? It means God

acts on His own time. Do you think it was

sudden to God when He was going to act? No.

God was going to act when He was going to act.

Suddenly it's only to us because we don't know the

time He's going to act. But do you know that

there is a way to know when God is going

to act? There is a way. You know what is

that way? Get thick with the Lord. Get close with

your God. You know who showed us the example? Abraham.

Do you know that Abraham was so close with God

that what happened to Salem was not suddenly. There wasn't

a suddenly to Abraham. Abraham knew it was going to happen.

God discussed it with him. Abraham worked it out with

the Lord to get his nephew saved. Sodom, not Salem.

Sodom and Gomorrah. Alright? Why was that? Because he was

close with the Lord. So you don't want suddenly in

your life, get close with God. Then there will be

no suddenly, you know. You'll know exactly when things are

going to happen. How cool is that? Suddenly. Okay, so

you see, I've had a few suddenlies in my life.

God knows, you know, when I share testimonies, I do

not share testimonies for you to think, oh, this guy

feels so great, he's so great, he's so good, oh,

so many. Guys. Guys. The testimonies I share is so

that you can realise, because I don't look at myself

as somebody great. In fact, I look at myself as

a terrible person. Okay? So, to me, if I, such

a terrible person, can have such great things happen in

my life, what about you, whom I see are not terrible,

like me? You're much better than me. It should happen

for you as well. That's why, because these testimonies that

I give you are what's happening in my daily life.

I want you to know God is a daily God

in your life and daily things can happen. Okay, this

is the latest one. I had a work problem. Now,

how many of you know PDF files, right? PDF files?

So PDF files in a folder, right? One folder. So

let's say you got 150 PDF files in one folder.

Unless you got a paid software, you cannot print it

all from that file just like that. Correct or not?

How many of you know that? You have to open

the file, print, close the file. Right or not? Correct

or not? Unless you buy the software. And it's not cheap, okay? Nowadays,

the software guys are all very smart. They do not

pay one shot, you know. Every month, you got to

give them money. Very expensive, right? So I had to

print like about 700 PDF files. How long do you

think it would have been for me to open each

one and print and close? Then I started searching for

software so expensive. I said, God, you got to help me.

One day, you see, God has his time, okay? But

for me, it was suddenly. So I'm sitting in the chair.

Around 8 p.m., suddenly I had a thought in my head.

I knew this is from God. Go to AI. Now,

some of you don't like AI. Super intelligence, some of

you don't like. I better start using the new term

because it will catch on. But let me tell you,

it's a tool that God can help you use. So

God said, my heart, go to super intelligence and ask

a specific question can you write a program for me

to open a file, a PDF file in a folder,

and after it's printed, close it, then go to the

next file, open it, print it, after five seconds, close it,

and go on to the next file, and so on

and so on until all the files in that folder

are printed. It said, sure, here it is. Do I

know programming? I have never started coding before, okay? I'm

65 years old. I came into being just at the

time computers were coming out, okay? Personal computers. What do

I know about coding? Nothing. But the code came out.

I was very excited. Next day, I rushed to the office.

Got on my computer. Put in the code. Didn't work. Okay,

because then you must know with all codes there's debugging, right? Well,

I actually learned how to debug, you know. I'm having

this conversation with Iha and say, no, it must be

like this, it must be like, you've got to do this,

you've got to do that. And I'm feeding it exactly

what I want and it's coming out. Then I said, okay,

now I want to bypass... Excel, I want to bypass Word.

I want to just have it printed without Adobe. I

just want it to print from source. It gave me

the thing. I put it in. Press the button. One

by one, it printed. I printed all 600 to 700

sheets in about an hour. How cool is that? That

is your God who will help you solve problems if

you will trust Him suddenly. I had another issue in

my house. This was, I had to do wiring to

a DB box to make my house safer, right? Oh,

she's already taking out the signs. Okay.

Okay.

So anyway, all right. So I had to do this.

So I hired somebody, all right. The guy came to

my house and he did the DB box and it

was horrible. I couldn't stand his work. Three workers and

they're pulling one wire from my main distribution box into

the kitchen to create another DB box. And I saw

the work and I couldn't take it. It was so horrible.

I just called the contractor and said, Forget it. Let

him finish his job. I don't want to see him

here again. I'll do it myself. This you don't do, okay?

Please don't follow what I have done. This I'm just

telling you what Lord led me to do, okay? So

I actually, again, God said, go and learn. Learn from where?

Learn from AI. I went to AI and I had

a conversation with, For about one hour, I asked every

aspect until I saw it in my head. When I

saw the full picture in my head, I pulled wires

from all over the kitchen, all over, and I pulled

it into the DB box. I set up the DB

box myself, and everything worked. And I tell you, some

of it was pretty dangerous because I was literally standing

on the top step because of the way the kitchen

is set up, standing on the top step, reaching out

like this and doing the work without anything to hold.

The other day, somebody just told me, somebody fell down

the stairs, hit his head and died. Here, I'm up

there on the ladder. That could have happened. But God

gave me the idea and he helped me do it.

And it helped me each and every... You know, I

started at 9 in the morning. I finished at 2 a.m.

the next day. 2 a.m. Every muscle in my body cramped, okay?

I'm putting out my finger like that. My hand cramped.

Then I'm up there on the ladder. I have to

wait until my fingers release. Then I put it. Then

when I put it like that, oh, my hand cramped.

I cannot pull my hand back. Then when the hand

can reach, my leg also cramped. Everything was cramping. This

was at 2 a.m. Everything was cramping. But praise the Lord,

everything worked fine. Suddenly. Suddenly. Suddenly. Help came. Why did

help come? Why did help come to Paul and Silas?

Because they were praying and singing hymns to God. You

know what was this praying and singing hymns to God? Prosukomai, prayer.

It simply means that they were exchanging what they were

going through for what God has. They were going through

being caught in prison. They were stuck. Hey, how many

of you think that the prison was a nice place?

Let me tell you what their prison was like, okay?

No toilet. If they were stuck the whole day, they

want to do short call, they want to do long call,

where they are. Paul and Silas were in their stocks, okay?

Do you think they held it for one day? What

do you think? Wherever they were, they let it go.

And you think the prison smelled nice? Got toilet? No

toilet everywhere they were doing all this. Rats. cockroaches, horrible smell, damp,

no light. That was the kind of prison that they

were in. They were in such horrible situation and circumstance.

None that you and I will ever experience that way.

And yet, what was their thought? Praise and worship. Praise

and worship. They know something that we don't. So how

many of us are stuck in our situation? Cannot seem

to make any headway. Praise and worship. Praise and worship.

Exchange your situation for what God has. And then, and then, suddenly,

God will do something. And you know what? Scripture says,

suddenly there was a great earthquake so that the foundations

of the prison were shaken. The things that keep you,

those foundations, those thoughts that keep you stuck will break.

And the things that keep you held and bound will

fall off. Everyone's chains will lose. What does Scripture say here?

When they were praying and singing hymns to God, the

prisoners were listening to them. And suddenly there was a

great earthquake, so the foundations of the prison were shaken

and all the doors were opened and everybody's chains fell off.

Exchange our ideas for God. Praising Him will always shake

the shackles from your life, however firm they may be

and however deep inside a prison you are. I want

you to know that something happened. Something happened. They were

in the marketplace to share the word of God, to go.

They were there in the town to do what? The prisoners?

What did the people say? They were sharing things, right?

So in other words, they were there to talk about Jesus.

You and I think that our... reaching out is to

take place in a certain place. God has other ideas.

They thought the marketplace was where they were going to

share and receive people coming, revival to take place. But

you know where God sent them? He sent them to

the place where nobody wanted to go. He sent them

to the people that people had forgotten. He'd send them

to the ones that everybody had rejected. That's where God

sent Paul and Silas. So when you are going through

a tough thing in your life, ask yourself, who is

God sending you to? Who among the people around you

in that situation are going to learn because God is

going to do something great? Do you know what happened

to all those prisoners? And the keeper of the prison,

awaking from sleep, seeing the prison doors open, supposing the

prisoners had fled, drew his sword and was about to

kill himself. But Paul cried out with a loud voice saying,

do yourself no harm. We are all here. Do you

know that when the prison doors opened and everybody's chains

fell off, what would you and I have done? We

would have run. Come on, man. That was a horrible

place to be. Now we are free, all the shackles falling.

Why you want to stay there? Got internet? Instagram? Social media? Facebook?

Got those things? Don't have WhatsApp? So the guy run

from this town to that town. Will they know who

he is? No. No photostatic machine. So the picture also

no photograph. How will they know this guy is a prisoner?

They won't know. The guy is gone already, right? But

what did Paul say? We are all here. Do you

know why? Because the greatest problem that all those prisoners

faced was being caught in the prison of their hearts,

shackled with a life that did not know Jesus. And

when Jesus came in, Jesus gave them everything they needed

and everything they wanted. Although they were in prison, they

were now free. Their hearts were free. The shackles of

their pain, the shackles of their fears were gone from

their life. They knew Jesus. They were now free. So

they didn't need to leave the prison. I'm going to

share something else with you a little bit later on.

They didn't need to leave the prison. but they were

now free. There's a much greater freedom than that of

your surrounding. It's the freedom of your heart. It's the

freedom of your soul. So what kept the prisoners from running?

Conviction by the manifestation of the presence of God. People

will stop running away from God if we will exchange

our ideas for His. People will stop running away from

God and start to praise Him in our pits, people

will see God's hand and it will convict them. So

then he called out for a light and fell down

trembling before Paul and Silas and he brought them out

and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

Verse 31. So they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus

Christ and you and your household will be saved. You

and your household. Guys, My father, 47 years, 45 years later,

receiving the Lord because of this scripture. So it didn't matter, right?

I believed on the Lord Jesus Christ and my household

will be saved. Your household will be saved. Do you

know that if Paul and Silas were not thrown into

that prison, this great verse would not have been written?

And this great verse is encouragement to all of us here.

Especially those of us that do not have safe parents

or safe siblings. Here it is. Then they spoke the

word of the Lord to him and all who were

in his house saved. You see? So now, the work

was done inside, right? Guess what? Now it was done

in the very place that they had originally gone the

people outside of the prisons, the prisoner, the warden, he

accepted the Lord. And at that very hour, the same hour,

they washed their stripes and immediately he and all his

family were baptized. So when they had brought him into

the house and set food before them, he rejoiced having

believed in God and all his household. Let me tell you,

do you think God leaves you in a beaten state?

Do you think God will ever leave you wounded? Will

God ever leave you defeated?

No.

He takes you out of that circumstance. He takes you

out of that situation. He heals your wounds. He soothes you.

And guess what happens after that? Celebration time. Come on.

Food lah. Food. You see it's there. Set food before them.

And what? Rejoice. Celebration lah. There is celebration. God is

not adverse to celebration, okay? In fact, He's quite for it.

But celebration comes only after the work is done. Only

after the purpose has been achieved. God will soothe your wounds.

I want you to know that God is a gracious God.

And He wants to see you blessed. We have to

grow up. We have to grow up. Because sometimes it

will cost us to do the right thing. But you know,

when you don't do the right thing, there are others

at stake. There are other lives at stake. those of

your parents, those of your friends, those of your cousins,

those of your families, those of your relatives. My sister,

my brother, my other brother and myself, we were the

first four among our cousins to be saved. You know,

we went through some really tough stuff. And I'm not

kidding you, I'm not exaggerating. We have cousins... If we

talk about first, second cousins, third cousins, we maybe got

a few hundred. I got cousins older than my dad.

My dad is 94. I have first cousins older than

my father. I want you to know that it's happening now,

you know. My cousins are coming to the Lord. Maybe

not through us. But because there was a group of

people that stood firm, there are others. And it's happening.

It's happening. It's happening. Guys, don't you want that in

your life? Don't you want to see that happen? That's

how to make it work. When you're in your dungeon,

you can come up, please. When you're in your dungeon,

when you're in that tough place, don't let it bother you.

Just worship the Lord and see Him act.
