00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:26.000
Pastor Boyan Jansik and his team believe that the power of the Holy Spirit is already working in our hearts and minds.

4
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:37.000
As you listen to today's teaching, remember that you are deeply loved by God, that you are surrounded by His grace, and that He has a real hope and a future for you.

5
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:49.000
Well, we're in the middle of the book of Ephesians. I'm going to continue Ephesians 5 Part 2 next week, but this has been in the calendar for some time.

6
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:56.000
We are privileged to have an amazing man of God with us this morning, Evangelist Bonnie Andrews. Put your hands together.

7
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:03.000
I'm so grateful that he's here this morning, along with his whole amazing family.

8
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:10.000
You know, your boys are just a little bit older than Victor, and every time I look at them, it's just, I set up some goals, you know, for me and my son.

9
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:18.000
They just love their dad, love their mom, and yeah, you saw me peaking. They're like worshiping the Lord and loving the Lord, and it's just so awesome.

10
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:29.000
But Bonnie and I met in January of 2020, and I instantly just absolutely loved him, which believe it or not is rare in ministry land.

11
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:39.000
For whatever reason, that is just rare. But I instantly loved him. I loved what he carried. I loved his passion and his burden for people and for winning him to Jesus.

12
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:48.000
And it just radiates out of him. I just joked to Pastor James. I said, what you just heard this morning, that's exactly what it's like having a half hour cup of coffee with Bonnie.

13
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:56.000
It's the same zeal, the same fervor. You know, you put a pinprick in him, and it just leaks. Evangelism and leaks, souls.

14
00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:07.000
And he had a very large, very influential ministry in India hundreds of thought. And still does. Thank you. I put that in the past tense, but that ministry in India is still going.

15
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:15.000
Except he's not in India any longer. I mean, what I'm trying to say is he was in the natural, very comfortable and very cushy.

16
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:23.000
And then he answered the call of God to come to New York City, a place that's been termed for the last half a century as a preacher's graveyard.

17
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:32.000
And so trust me, he gave up much. You know, he told me about his ministry. I said, did you have a chaiwala? He said, I did. They brought you chai, right?

18
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:42.000
He had it all. I prayed one day, someone. But in any case, he was reaching Gen Z before it was cool to reach Gen Z.

19
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:57.000
Before everybody was talking about it, and we had Asbury. And we actually scheduled these meetings before Asbury broke out because he shared his vision for what he wants to see happen around college campuses all over the nation with live jam right here in the United States.

20
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:04.000
And so I want you to open up your heart and receive. Don't wait a half an hour before you realize whether you like them or not.

21
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:14.000
Just make a decision right now. He's cool. I like him. He's safe. That way you can open up your heart and really receive from the grace and the anointing that's on his life.

22
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:17.000
Are you ready, church? Put your hands together one more time for Bonnie Andrews.

23
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:21.000
Come on, city light. Make some noise. Come on, come on, come on.

24
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:34.000
Give it up for Jesus all over this place. He alone is worthy. He alone is worthy of all praise and honor. Amen. Amen. Amen.

25
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:44.000
I'm so honored to be here this morning. This is one of my favorite places to preach the gospel because the people in this church are amazing on fire.

26
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:51.000
I'm just here to put some more gasoline on the fire that is already here. Are you ready people?

27
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:52.000
Yes.

28
00:03:52.000 --> 00:04:01.000
I'm telling you, when you're in New York City, how cool is that? I meet Pastor Boyan. First of all, he's got the coolest name ever.

29
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:07.000
For real. For real.

30
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:14.000
We just met. We just connected just like Pastor said. We've been friends in New York.

31
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:19.000
We meet a lot of people and we're in all different types of circles.

32
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:24.000
One of the coolest things that we know is when we meet a lot of people, so I was sharing the last service,

33
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:30.000
that your phone book is filled with so many people, maybe over 5,000 people on my phone book,

34
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:38.000
you know that you have many acquaintances but few friends. And then you have friends and then you have brothers.

35
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:47.000
In our lingo, we call it broskees. Stop. And Pastor Boyan is a broskees, a brother.

36
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:53.000
We hang out, we eat together, pastors, friends, and eat together is a good thing.

37
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:58.000
If you love food, if you love fellowship, that's how the folks in the acts roll.

38
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:03.000
They just had food, they just had chai, I don't know if they had chai, but they had curry.

39
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:13.000
So I come from curry land. I tell people, I come from the land of curry but I live in the land of curry.

40
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:17.000
New York everybody is busy. You know what I'm saying? Busy, baby. Busy.

41
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:22.000
You know, my calendar, if you're trying to fix an appointment, they're telling you about 2024.

42
00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:32.000
I'm like, whoa. And a little bit of what I'm talking about. So I'm here to bring some curry and nointing in the room.

43
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:40.000
If you don't like curry, I mean, you know when you live next to an Indian because the fragrance is amazing.

44
00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:46.000
I have people knocking on my door and just telling you, when are you going to invite us for some curry?

45
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:55.000
So that's how contagious curry is. But let me tell you, America doesn't like, I mean, they love curry, but this land is filled with sugar.

46
00:05:55.000 --> 00:06:00.000
This is sugar land, baby. You put sugar in your meat, you barbecue.

47
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:05.000
I mean, you know, we put some chilies on our meat when you're barbecue. You guys put sugar.

48
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:10.000
The barbecue sauce, I'm talking about barbecue sauce. It's got sugar. Hello.

49
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:16.000
And the kind of sugar that you put in your drinks, you know, you sold us and all that stuff. So you guys love sugar.

50
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:21.000
So just coming back to just being an honor to be here and I'm here with my family.

51
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:26.000
Come on guys, you know, it's not often that they sit on the front row. My wife is always looking after you.

52
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:32.000
So look at me. Am I looking good or not? So my wife insisted that I wear this.

53
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:39.000
Okay, so that's my wife, my aunt, get up everybody. Guys, just face the music.

54
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:46.000
Turn around, Zach. Zach Jacob, you don't want to do it? He doesn't want to get up.

55
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:52.000
All right, here we go. This is Levi's, our 11 year old bold man of God. And then we have Zach.

56
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:56.000
Maybe he hands up Zach. You wonder what he wants to see your hands in face.

57
00:06:56.000 --> 00:07:01.000
They want to see your cool hairstyle. You want to show them?

58
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:03.000
Come on, Zach. He can do it.

59
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:11.000
All right, then this is our brand new two year old, right? Born in America, right?

60
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:15.000
And he's the cutest thing that's ever happened. It's my beautiful wife.

61
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.000
You know, when you say, when you look at your wife, you're like, I just mad it up.

62
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:22.000
I just say, I just keep saying, I'm married up. I'm married up.

63
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:26.000
If I was a hip hop artist, I'm married up. I'm married up.

64
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:32.000
The only thing I do in the morning is make her a cup of coffee. And she says, like, thank you, like 10 times for the cup of coffee.

65
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:37.000
Because, you know, we have some really nice coffee machine. Hallelujah, right?

66
00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:43.000
So I'm happy to be here with you. And I'm happy. This is the, this is the, this is the crew.

67
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:49.000
God spoke to us a couple of months ago. You know, I got back from a, from an overseas trip.

68
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:53.000
And I got back jet lag. And the Lord began to speak to me for a couple of days.

69
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:58.000
Speaking to me from big chunks of scripture. And the day one was from Genesis.

70
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:01.000
God spoke to Abraham. You know, walk the length and breadth of this land.

71
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:03.000
And I'll give it to you. Then God spoke to Joshua.

72
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:07.000
Wherever the soul, if you feed shelter, I'll give it to you. God spoke to Jeremiah.

73
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:11.000
Jeremiah chapter 29 was 16. It says, you know, where, you know, stick the piece of the city.

74
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:13.000
And the city is blessed. You will be blessed.

75
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:17.000
So then I told this idea to my wife. Of course, you have to share this with your wife.

76
00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:22.000
This idea is going to be driving across America in a minivan.

77
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:28.000
9,000 miles. New York to LA. All right.

78
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:32.000
Seattle to Miami back to New York in 30 days.

79
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:37.000
And thank God she said yes. So this crew made it 9,000 miles.

80
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:40.000
We drove in a Chrysler Pacifica. We fallen in love with Chrysler.

81
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:46.000
Where's my Chrysler? Right? So we drove around. We prayed for 30 days across the country.

82
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:50.000
Brain for you to be saved. That was an agenda.

83
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:53.000
We're not fundraising. We're not asking people for money.

84
00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:56.000
We're not asking nothing. We just went around just praying.

85
00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:03.000
We just asked leaders on the ground. Can you give us one hour to pray for your city and for your youth?

86
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:07.000
And all of them said yes. So we had, you know, we had capitals being opened up.

87
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:11.000
We were praying with politicians, campus leaders, ministers, all the cool things.

88
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:13.000
And out of that, something cool has happened.

89
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:16.000
While we were on the road, the Lord kind of with with some research.

90
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:18.000
We were at Penn State the first day.

91
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:21.000
State College was a pit stop day number one.

92
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:25.000
And we were at Penn State who were asking students and campus ministries around.

93
00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:28.000
They said there's 40,000 students in Penn State.

94
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:31.000
How many? Talk to me, ladies. Talk to me, guys.

95
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:39.000
40,000 students. And less than 1% of those students are involved in any sort of campus ministry.

96
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:46.000
So less than 400 is being distributed among all the campus ministries that you can talk about.

97
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:48.000
All the national local ministries.

98
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:51.000
That's where our college campuses are.

99
00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:53.000
And day one, the Lord began to speak to me.

100
00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:55.000
Your heart is for the campus.

101
00:09:55.000 --> 00:10:00.000
You know, for the last 18 years, the Lord, you know, let me to start this ministry called Live Jam.

102
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.000
And we've been focused on high schools.

103
00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:06.000
You know, we, we reached out to over 3 million students in 184 cities around the world.

104
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:09.000
Bands, tour, you know, festivals, radio, television.

105
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:11.000
All that Gen Z loves.

106
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:13.000
And young people love we were using that.

107
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:15.000
But here, the Lord began to speak to me.

108
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:17.000
Your heart is on the college campuses.

109
00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:20.000
So we're on a mission that's just being birthed out of prayer.

110
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:23.000
Anything that is birthed out of prayer is good.

111
00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:25.000
God loves that stuff.

112
00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:31.000
It's not like I just asked five guys who are MBA guys and say go out into the market and find some information.

113
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:34.000
And based on that, you write a proposal and start doing it.

114
00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:37.000
When you hear it from the heart of God, it is from the heart of God.

115
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:38.000
And guess what?

116
00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:39.000
What is on the heart of God?

117
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:42.000
That none should perish.

118
00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:44.000
Not a single student.

119
00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:47.000
Not a single young person in America should perish.

120
00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:50.000
But all, what does this Bible say?

121
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:54.000
All should come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

122
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:55.000
Amen.

123
00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:57.000
So that's a mission that we run.

124
00:10:57.000 --> 00:10:59.000
Share in the gospel with young people.

125
00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:02.000
And this morning, I wanted to say that we want to just stand up for the right,

126
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:05.000
rise up for the reading of the scripture.

127
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:06.000
Are you guys ready?

128
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:07.000
Yes.

129
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:11.000
Stand up and we're going to read it with power, authority, conviction, because this is it.

130
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:12.000
This is it.

131
00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:13.000
Michael Jackson said.

132
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:14.000
This is it.

133
00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:15.000
Jesus said.

134
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:16.000
This is it.

135
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:17.000
Okay.

136
00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:18.000
Look at this.

137
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:19.000
No, let's go up.

138
00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:21.000
Luke chapter four was 18.

139
00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:28.000
The spirit of the Lord is on me because he has anointed me.

140
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:31.000
To preach the gospel to the poor.

141
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:34.000
Send me to heal the broken hearted.

142
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:40.000
To proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind.

143
00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:45.000
To set at liberty those who are oppressed in Jesus name.

144
00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:47.000
You may be seated.

145
00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:50.000
I'm telling you something everywhere you look.

146
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:52.000
It is about revival.

147
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:55.000
Revival is in this land at this point.

148
00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:56.000
It is everywhere.

149
00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:00.000
You go, you know, my family and I, we got to drive up.

150
00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:04.000
I mean, these days after you drive like for 9,000 miles,

151
00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:09.000
two hours of driving is like going for coffee.

152
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:13.000
It has to be minimum five hours to just get as excited, right, Sean?

153
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:16.000
And this was a 12 hour one and I was watching Super Bowl.

154
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:21.000
And of course, I come from the land of cricket and of course Super Bowl is no connection.

155
00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:25.000
So I was in national land and I'm just looking at all these things and me.

156
00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:27.000
And you know, we were talking about the revival that's happened.

157
00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:32.000
And I'm looking at the fairs and I'm like, I can't just look at the feed that's going on.

158
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:34.000
This is day two of the revival.

159
00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:35.000
I'm like, I have to go.

160
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:36.000
So guess what happened?

161
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:43.000
So right in my easy chair watching Super Bowl, I told my wife, could we go?

162
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:45.000
And she said, yes.

163
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:46.000
Hallelujah.

164
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:49.000
So I just went out, got a rental.

165
00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:53.000
By the time I came back with my rental, she was already packed and we were on.

166
00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:56.000
So we drove till we, you know, we were sleep, you know, we were feeling sleepy.

167
00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:58.000
We just stopped and then we drove again.

168
00:12:58.000 --> 00:12:59.000
We got there by four o'clock.

169
00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:04.000
So just to see the power of God, he didn't call it students.

170
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:07.000
There is no superstar on stage.

171
00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:09.000
I was looking for the man of God.

172
00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:10.000
You know what I'm saying?

173
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:11.000
You know what I'm saying, guys?

174
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:14.000
I was looking for Benny, he ain't there.

175
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:16.000
I was looking for the shop.

176
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:17.000
Our guy is not there.

177
00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:21.000
I was looking for the cool worship leader like Sean, he ain't there.

178
00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:26.000
There's no rib jeans, there's no leather jacket, there's no Chelsea boots.

179
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:28.000
You know what I'm saying?

180
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:31.000
There is no Starbucks coffee thing.

181
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:32.000
You know what I'm saying?

182
00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:34.000
You know how we roll?

183
00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:36.000
We come to church with our Starbucks coffee.

184
00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:37.000
I mean that's how we roll.

185
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:39.000
What should we just roll with like the Starbucks?

186
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:40.000
So you know what I'm saying?

187
00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:41.000
That's the James.

188
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:42.000
You got it.

189
00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:43.000
That's what we call the swag coffee.

190
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:46.000
I mean they might be coffee, they might not be coffee.

191
00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:47.000
That's what we roll.

192
00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:50.000
There is no Starbucks.

193
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:53.000
This is a town in the middle of nowhere.

194
00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:55.000
There's no Starbucks there.

195
00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:57.000
There's a gas station like far away.

196
00:13:57.000 --> 00:13:59.000
Small little stores in the middle of nothing.

197
00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:00.000
There's a university.

198
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:03.000
We roll up there and God's power.

199
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:09.000
We just walk into the room and people, young people, who can't look, you know,

200
00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:14.000
who can't stay away from their phones for like more than like five seconds.

201
00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:18.000
They have to check on the stories and you know what they said and other people said.

202
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:23.000
The people that were on, you know, I was looking at these young people on fire for God.

203
00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:25.000
Just worshipping God.

204
00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:27.000
Staying away from the phone.

205
00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:28.000
I'm like a few phones here and there.

206
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:30.000
Those were all the older people.

207
00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:31.000
They were filming you.

208
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:34.000
They're like, man, this is revival when young people are staying away from phones.

209
00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:36.000
And old people are switching on.

210
00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:40.000
It's like they're trying to film everything that's going on.

211
00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:41.000
Some of them are blown away.

212
00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:43.000
Some of them have been praying for real.

213
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:45.000
For being praying for this revival.

214
00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:49.000
And here is young kids on the altar.

215
00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:50.000
No altar call.

216
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:52.000
No offering.

217
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:53.000
Just organic stuff.

218
00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:55.000
Stay, stay, stay away with me.

219
00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:56.000
Organic.

220
00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:59.000
My God, I'm telling you our church is a lot about hype.

221
00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:02.000
I'm tired of hype.

222
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:04.000
Hipping it too much.

223
00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:06.000
Hipping with the coffee.

224
00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:07.000
Hipping with the swag.

225
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:08.000
Hipping with the worship team.

226
00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:10.000
Hipping with the cool pastor.

227
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:11.000
Hipping with the graphics.

228
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:13.000
Hipping with the big truck that you roll out.

229
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:14.000
Whoa, city light.

230
00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:17.000
You know, I'm just, you know, this big branding.

231
00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:19.000
It ain't working, guys.

232
00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:20.000
American church.

233
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:26.000
4,000 churches are shutting down in America every single year.

234
00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:28.000
Pastors are disillusioned.

235
00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:30.000
Pastors are walking away from their assignment.

236
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:32.000
Pastors cannot sustain themselves.

237
00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:37.000
Churches are shutting down because they can financially keep it going.

238
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:40.000
And whenever there is a crisis, God begins to move.

239
00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:43.000
So today, if you're in the middle of this crisis, thank the Lord

240
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:45.000
because something is about to happen.

241
00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:48.000
If you're in the middle of a crisis, you need to break through.

242
00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:53.000
Jesus is just going to show up right now.

243
00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:55.000
That's it.

244
00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:59.000
That was like a million dollar word.

245
00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:05.000
In the middle crisis is the butt place of breakthrough.

246
00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:08.000
Every time there was a crisis, there was a breakthrough.

247
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:10.000
There was no wine.

248
00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:13.000
All right, Jesus said, all right, guys, stay away.

249
00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:14.000
Let me just show up.

250
00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:21.000
He just showed up, turned bottle water into expensive wine,

251
00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:24.000
like 30-year-old wine, like 50-year-old wine.

252
00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:25.000
I don't know what that is.

253
00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:27.000
He time crunched.

254
00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:31.000
The Bible says, this is another whole sermon.

255
00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:35.000
Let me just say that God can time crunch you, Michael.

256
00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:41.000
The scripture says, there was a first time the glory of God was manifested.

257
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:45.000
Every time the glory of God is manifested, it is not just about goosebumps,

258
00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:48.000
there's a manifestation on the ground.

259
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:50.000
Water was turned into wine.

260
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:55.000
Wine would take like 20 years from the time it was conceived,

261
00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:59.000
to grapes, to crushing, to fermenting and putting it in racks, 30 years.

262
00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:01.000
The best wine.

263
00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:02.000
Boom!

264
00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:03.000
One second.

265
00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:07.000
Time crunched 30 years into one second.

266
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:11.000
God can turn around things in your life.

267
00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:13.000
He can turn your family around.

268
00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:15.000
He can turn your husband around.

269
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:17.000
He can turn your son who's been walking away from faith around.

270
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:19.000
He can turn your health around.

271
00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:21.000
He can turn your life around.

272
00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:23.000
And the only one.

273
00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:27.000
The only one who can do it is Jesus.

274
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:32.000
And I'm just the mouthpiece to tell you that he can do it.

275
00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:35.000
If you believe it's a Amen.

276
00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:37.000
This is a good ground to preach.

277
00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:38.000
I'm just getting excited.

278
00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:39.000
We're just getting started.

279
00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:44.000
It's going to be a long service, baby.

280
00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:48.000
I just want to say that God is moving all across America.

281
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:50.000
I want to make this big statement.

282
00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:54.000
Don't sleep on the harvest.

283
00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:56.000
Don't sleep on the harvest.

284
00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:57.000
God is moving.

285
00:17:57.000 --> 00:18:01.000
And I don't want you to be sitting around and doing something else.

286
00:18:01.000 --> 00:18:05.000
If you are an entrepreneur, if you are a business guy, this is like,

287
00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:09.000
this is the way that we've been waiting for.

288
00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:11.000
This is the startup wave.

289
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:13.000
This is the entrepreneurial wave.

290
00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:16.000
This is the AI wave that we've been waiting for.

291
00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:19.000
This is the moment to start a business, to create a product,

292
00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:24.000
to start a church, to start a meeting, to start a revival meeting.

293
00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:29.000
Fellas, when you have a revival meeting in church, show up.

294
00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:32.000
Show up because you are seeking God.

295
00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:36.000
You know what, the people of Israel looked at the hands of God.

296
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:39.000
Most of us look at God as an ATM machine.

297
00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:42.000
You are shaking it and working sometimes.

298
00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:43.000
You are kicking it.

299
00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:44.000
You are making it work.

300
00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:46.000
And you are saying, God, give me this.

301
00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:47.000
Give me that job.

302
00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:48.000
Give me that jacket.

303
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:49.000
Give me that cool card.

304
00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:50.000
Give me that.

305
00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:51.000
Give me, give me, give me.

306
00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:56.000
While the Bible says, most of us sought the face of God.

307
00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:59.000
So those revival nights, what we are doing here in this church,

308
00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:02.000
is really seeking the heart of God, seeking the face of God.

309
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:03.000
And I want you to turn around.

310
00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:06.000
I don't know many churches in the city who does that stuff.

311
00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:09.000
And you are blessed to be part of the church who does that.

312
00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:12.000
So when you have it, go get it.

313
00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:13.000
Amen.

314
00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:14.000
Amen.

315
00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:17.000
So this scripture says, the spirit of the Lord is on me.

316
00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:21.000
Look at somebody who says, the spirit of the Lord is on you.

317
00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:24.000
It's not just on Pastor Boyan.

318
00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:27.000
I know he's got a cool name.

319
00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:29.000
It's not just on Pastor Moe.

320
00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:31.000
Whoa, what a cool name.

321
00:19:31.000 --> 00:19:32.000
Moe.

322
00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:34.000
Pastor Moe, Pastor James.

323
00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:37.000
Is this not on the elite?

324
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:40.000
The senior pastor doesn't mention that.

325
00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:43.000
The spirit of the Lord is upon me.

326
00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:44.000
Look at you.

327
00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:45.000
I mean, I do this stuff.

328
00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:47.000
I prophesy to myself all the time.

329
00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:51.000
Put your hands on your head and say, the spirit of the Lord is on me.

330
00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:52.000
Oh, I can't hear you.

331
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:53.000
Say that again.

332
00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:54.000
The spirit of the Lord.

333
00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:56.000
Come on, Sean.

334
00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:58.000
The spirit of the Lord is upon me.

335
00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:02.000
It's upon me.

336
00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:06.000
Let me tell you something.

337
00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:09.000
It's going to be a fun service.

338
00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:16.000
All I'm saying is the spirit of the Lord is upon every single person in this room.

339
00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:21.000
Every single person who's watching me online, who's sitting in front of me,

340
00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:24.000
you have an assignment.

341
00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:30.000
Let me just tell you, the anointing is not for you to just chill out in the church.

342
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:34.000
Church has become the Holy Night Club.

343
00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:35.000
The beans are good.

344
00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:36.000
The wipe is good.

345
00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:38.000
The coffee is good.

346
00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:39.000
I mean, there's no alcohol.

347
00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:40.000
There's coffee, of course.

348
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:46.000
There's coffee is a new alcohol, you know?

349
00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:47.000
You make different types of coffee.

350
00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:48.000
You go to Brooklyn.

351
00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:51.000
Oh, my God.

352
00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:52.000
There's swirl.

353
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:56.000
They weigh it.

354
00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:59.000
Then they talk about the beans like they know it.

355
00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:03.000
They know the guy who grew it.

356
00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:06.000
This is single origin.

357
00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:08.000
Organic.

358
00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:14.000
You know, I'm telling you, you don't come to church to get goose bumps,

359
00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:20.000
to feel good, to take the mark, to tell somebody and put on some insta stories

360
00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:23.000
of the cool worship leader and the drummer.

361
00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:27.000
You know, all those cool things that you have in this church, it is not about that.

362
00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:32.000
The anointing on your life is for an assignment.

363
00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:36.000
Look at somebody and says, the anointing is for an assignment.

364
00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:39.000
The anointing is for an assignment.

365
00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:43.000
And let me tell you something, that assignment is not you, it is others.

366
00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:47.000
The anointing on your life is not for you, it is for others.

367
00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:51.000
It is to go through you into the lives of others.

368
00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:56.000
If you look at the life of Jesus, it was always about people.

369
00:21:56.000 --> 00:22:00.000
He was in the people business.

370
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:01.000
He was all about all night.

371
00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:02.000
He just soaked in.

372
00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:04.000
Let me just tell you, I love these soaking parties.

373
00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:06.000
I love soaking in the anointing.

374
00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:11.000
But Jesus soaked all night to do some work all day.

375
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:12.000
Stop.

376
00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:14.000
You know, don't just put the full stop with soaking.

377
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:15.000
Soaking is the comma.

378
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:16.000
Soaking comma.

379
00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:17.000
Preach the gospel.

380
00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:19.000
That's the next piece.

381
00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:23.000
So you don't feel goosebumps in your body just to sit around and chill.

382
00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:26.000
And some have some holy cool people hanging around with you.

383
00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:28.000
It is for others.

384
00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:30.000
Pass the modes for others.

385
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:32.000
Pass the boy and it's for others.

386
00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:33.000
Brothers, it's for others.

387
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:34.000
It's for you work people.

388
00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:35.000
It's your colleagues.

389
00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:36.000
It's your students.

390
00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:38.000
It's your neighborhood.

391
00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:41.000
Everywhere.

392
00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:45.000
The spirit of the Lord is upon you.

393
00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:50.000
The word anointing means to rub.

394
00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:57.000
The oil has been rubbed on you signifying there's a divine assignment on your life.

395
00:22:57.000 --> 00:23:00.000
And the anointing is for you to fulfill that assignment.

396
00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:02.000
The spirit of the Lord is upon me.

397
00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:03.000
What is he anointed me for?

398
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:05.000
Number one.

399
00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:07.000
Proclaim the good news.

400
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:09.000
Now the word preach the good news.

401
00:23:09.000 --> 00:23:11.000
Now the word share the good news.

402
00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:13.000
Tell the good news.

403
00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:15.000
Said anybody got some good news?

404
00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:20.000
Every news station is selling you bad news.

405
00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:23.000
They're even selling bad news from churches these days.

406
00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:29.000
Church scandals and those things have been trending more because they feel like there's a money on that game.

407
00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:33.000
They track in every pastor down, they track in every church down, put in those stories,

408
00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:37.000
and getting you all distracted from the mission that you're on.

409
00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:39.000
Your mission is to not look at other pastors.

410
00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:43.000
Your mission is to look at Jesus and ask him what do you want me to do?

411
00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:46.000
And you just go do it.

412
00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:50.000
Nike knew that well, that's why they said just do it.

413
00:23:50.000 --> 00:23:51.000
Just do it.

414
00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:56.000
The spirit of the Lord is upon me now to want to preach the good news.

415
00:23:56.000 --> 00:24:00.000
To speak the good news has God done something good in your life.

416
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:02.000
Tell us, don't sleep on me now.

417
00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:04.000
Okay, I'm going to wake people up right now.

418
00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:07.000
Has he done some good things in your life?

419
00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:09.000
Did he turn your life around?

420
00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:13.000
He turned my mom, I mean I'm telling you, he healed my mom of cancer.

421
00:24:13.000 --> 00:24:15.000
I have some good news to tell people about.

422
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:18.000
He does a miracle every single day of our life.

423
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:19.000
My kids can brag about it.

424
00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:21.000
They're going to tell the world about it.

425
00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:26.000
We have miracles happening on a daily basis.

426
00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:30.000
People, let me just tell you, we live on the edge.

427
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:33.000
Lauren Cunningham wrote a beautiful book daring to live on the edge.

428
00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:40.000
And he's saying, hey, start living the predictable, boring life.

429
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:42.000
That the enemy wants you to do.

430
00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:44.000
95, the same old things.

431
00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:47.000
And somebody said, doing the same things again and again.

432
00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:52.000
And expecting different results is called, cuckoo, it's called insanity.

433
00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:57.000
Get out of that monotonous game into the wild, wild world.

434
00:24:57.000 --> 00:25:00.000
The adventurous world, when I talked to my wife and I said,

435
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:03.000
you know, decided, you know, a taller, we're going to get married.

436
00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:06.000
I just said, join the adventure.

437
00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:08.000
This is an adventure, right, pastor?

438
00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:10.000
It is an adventure.

439
00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:12.000
Number one, to preach the good news.

440
00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:14.000
This anointing used to preach the good news.

441
00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:17.000
When is the last time you shared the gospel with somebody?

442
00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:19.000
When is the last time?

443
00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:23.000
You know, this is the only thing that God wants you to do?

444
00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:28.000
The only thing that gets brownie points in heaven is souls.

445
00:25:28.000 --> 00:25:30.000
You can't take your cool.

446
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:37.000
I know you guys, I mean, I want to say that the most good looking people in all of New York is in this church.

447
00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:45.000
You got all cool swag on.

448
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:49.000
You called jackets and scarves and jewelry and all those cool things.

449
00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:56.000
I mean, your head gear and your hairstyle and you spend like half an hour, 45 minutes just doing it all up to come to church.

450
00:25:56.000 --> 00:25:59.000
You can take none of that to heaven.

451
00:25:59.000 --> 00:26:01.000
You can take your shoes to heaven.

452
00:26:01.000 --> 00:26:03.000
You can take your car to heaven.

453
00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:05.000
You can take the cool wearsachi jacket to heaven.

454
00:26:05.000 --> 00:26:07.000
You can't take none of that to heaven.

455
00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:10.000
No Rolexes in heaven.

456
00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:20.000
The only thing you can take from this part of the world to the other side of the world is people.

457
00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:23.000
Please take some people to the other side of eternity.

458
00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:24.000
I know for one thing.

459
00:26:24.000 --> 00:26:26.000
When I get to heaven, it's going to be a lot of people.

460
00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:27.000
I need to say hi, fight.

461
00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:29.000
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

462
00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:32.000
Some mother is going to say, hey, you preach the gospel to my son.

463
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:33.000
He preached to me.

464
00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:34.000
He preached to his dad.

465
00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:35.000
He preached to his grandma.

466
00:26:35.000 --> 00:26:37.000
And that's why we are here.

467
00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:40.000
So a lot of people that I don't even know are going to say hi to me.

468
00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:41.000
You know why?

469
00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:43.000
High five because you preach the gospel I am here.

470
00:26:43.000 --> 00:26:45.000
And I want you guys to have friends in heaven.

471
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:47.000
That's another sermon.

472
00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:51.000
Friends in heaven.

473
00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:52.000
preach the good news.

474
00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:54.000
When you ask people what is the good news?

475
00:26:54.000 --> 00:26:55.000
People have no idea.

476
00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:56.000
What is the good news?

477
00:26:56.000 --> 00:26:57.000
What is the gospel?

478
00:26:57.000 --> 00:27:00.000
Many people, most Christians don't have an idea what the gospel is.

479
00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:03.000
The thing is a cool thing.

480
00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:05.000
The gospel.

481
00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:08.000
When you ask people, they say John 3, 16.

482
00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:09.000
That's the gospel.

483
00:27:09.000 --> 00:27:10.000
God, so I love the one.

484
00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:11.000
Yes, it is the gospel.

485
00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:13.000
Let me give you the definition of the gospel.

486
00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:20.000
You can screenshot it and go back and think about it because if you don't know, it's like,

487
00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:25.000
you know, when you're trying to sell something that you have no idea about, you're just gassing it.

488
00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:26.000
Right?

489
00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:27.000
But you need to know what the gospel is all about.

490
00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:29.000
This is the gospel.

491
00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:33.000
Very well written by one of the ace evangelists of our time, Dr. Rice Proxy says,

492
00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:34.000
the gospel.

493
00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:35.000
Can you read this with me?

494
00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:42.000
The gospel is the good news that God became man in Jesus Christ.

495
00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:45.000
We live the life that we should have lived.

496
00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:50.000
Die the dead that we should have died in our place three days later.

497
00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:51.000
This is an important thing.

498
00:27:51.000 --> 00:28:02.000
He rose up from the grave proving that he is the son of God and offering the gift of salvation to those who repent and believe in him.

499
00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:03.000
Let's do one more time.

500
00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:10.000
The gospel is the good news that God became man in Jesus Christ.

501
00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:13.000
He lived the life that we should have lived.

502
00:28:13.000 --> 00:28:18.000
Die the dead that we should have died in our place three days later.

503
00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:27.000
He rose from the grave proving that he is the son of God and offering the gift of salvation to those who repent and believe in him.

504
00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:29.000
Come on, give it up for the gospel.

505
00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:33.000
This is a gospel.

506
00:28:33.000 --> 00:29:00.000
I love what Jesus says, the son of God became the son of man so the sons of men could become the sons of God.

507
00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:02.400
Our righteousness is like filthy rags.

508
00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:05.200
Our brownie point is not going to take it there, but guess what?

509
00:29:05.200 --> 00:29:12.640
Jesus said, now listen, don't worry, I am paying the price for your sins and your father's sins,

510
00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:18.080
your mother's sins, your ancestral sins, and the father's sins that you're going to commit.

511
00:29:18.080 --> 00:29:22.960
And I went and paid for that price once and for all on the cross of Calvary.

512
00:29:23.040 --> 00:29:27.760
The most gruesome death that the worst criminal of their time could go through.

513
00:29:27.760 --> 00:29:32.960
Jesus took our sins on the cross and he said it is finished and he rose up from the grave and he

514
00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:36.960
said, if you believe in the simple gospel, you will be saved.

515
00:29:38.560 --> 00:29:40.560
So this annoying thing on your life is for what?

516
00:29:42.080 --> 00:29:43.440
Is so that you can get a good job?

517
00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:45.360
Well that's part of it.

518
00:29:46.000 --> 00:29:47.280
Why did you put you in a good job?

519
00:29:47.280 --> 00:29:50.080
So that you have access to people that normal pastors don't have access to.

520
00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:55.200
Hello, Christian pastors have to go to a health club to find some sinners.

521
00:29:55.200 --> 00:29:55.680
You know what I'm saying?

522
00:29:57.520 --> 00:29:58.480
We need to go out of gym.

523
00:29:58.480 --> 00:30:00.080
Hey, we hanging out too much with pastors.

524
00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:01.840
We need to go to a coffee shop.

525
00:30:01.840 --> 00:30:03.280
We need to go somewhere else.

526
00:30:03.280 --> 00:30:05.520
That's why you got a great job.

527
00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:08.480
That's why God has put you in that university.

528
00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:10.240
That's why God has put you in that college.

529
00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:12.400
That's why God has put you in that neighborhood.

530
00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:14.080
Does your neighbors know that you're a Christian?

531
00:30:15.040 --> 00:30:17.840
Does your workplace people know that you're a Christian?

532
00:30:17.840 --> 00:30:19.920
Do they talk? Do you talk like them?

533
00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:21.200
Do you speak like them?

534
00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:22.320
Do you live like them?

535
00:30:22.320 --> 00:30:24.560
Do you hang out in the same places where they hang out?

536
00:30:24.560 --> 00:30:26.160
What's the same things that they watch?

537
00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:28.160
What is different about you?

538
00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:31.600
That makes them feel like I want what you have.

539
00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:37.760
I'm kicking some butts this morning.

540
00:30:38.320 --> 00:30:39.520
This is called the Holy Kick.

541
00:30:41.360 --> 00:30:42.720
Too much of sitting in the church.

542
00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:44.000
Get out and do something, guys.

543
00:30:45.120 --> 00:30:46.160
Go preach the gospel.

544
00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:48.800
Slay it in the Spirit.

545
00:30:48.800 --> 00:30:49.520
I love that stuff.

546
00:30:50.160 --> 00:30:50.880
But then what?

547
00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:53.680
Speak it in tongues.

548
00:30:53.680 --> 00:30:54.400
I love that stuff.

549
00:30:54.400 --> 00:30:54.880
Then what?

550
00:30:56.640 --> 00:30:58.240
Lift your hands up in the air and worshiping.

551
00:30:58.240 --> 00:30:58.880
And then what?

552
00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:01.440
Preaching the gospel.

553
00:31:02.160 --> 00:31:03.520
Mark 16, 15.

554
00:31:03.520 --> 00:31:07.120
Go ye into all the world.

555
00:31:07.120 --> 00:31:08.800
Our vision is very simple.

556
00:31:08.800 --> 00:31:11.840
We want to preach the gospel to every student in every nation.

557
00:31:11.840 --> 00:31:12.160
Boom.

558
00:31:13.120 --> 00:31:14.160
Pretty much covered that, right?

559
00:31:14.720 --> 00:31:18.560
Sean, every student in every nation needs to hear the gospel.

560
00:31:18.560 --> 00:31:19.120
That's a mission.

561
00:31:20.080 --> 00:31:22.240
We're going to do Paul said I will do all things

562
00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:24.000
and do all men so that I'm making some.

563
00:31:25.840 --> 00:31:27.920
So the preaching of the gospel,

564
00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:28.880
what are you going to tell people?

565
00:31:28.880 --> 00:31:31.440
That number one, he heals.

566
00:31:31.440 --> 00:31:32.160
He's a healer.

567
00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:37.520
Last week I was ministering in the church in the Hamptons.

568
00:31:37.520 --> 00:31:38.480
The Hamptons.

569
00:31:39.520 --> 00:31:41.120
The Hamptons, guys, the Hamptons.

570
00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:43.440
Where there is my wife's like,

571
00:31:43.440 --> 00:31:45.040
you know, we need to go get some fries from McDonald's.

572
00:31:45.040 --> 00:31:46.080
I'm like, baby,

573
00:31:46.080 --> 00:31:49.760
there ain't no McDonald's in the Hamptons.

574
00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:54.160
Pizza starts at 20 bucks.

575
00:31:54.160 --> 00:31:55.280
That's a little pizza.

576
00:31:57.040 --> 00:31:59.360
It's not the Domino's big ass pizza, you know what I'm saying?

577
00:32:00.320 --> 00:32:01.360
Everything is expensive.

578
00:32:01.360 --> 00:32:03.040
Milk is like one dollar up.

579
00:32:03.040 --> 00:32:04.960
I'm like, what's going on in the Hamptons?

580
00:32:05.680 --> 00:32:07.200
But guess what happened in the Hamptons?

581
00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:08.160
Ministering in a church.

582
00:32:09.040 --> 00:32:10.800
And guess what happened in the middle of that?

583
00:32:11.520 --> 00:32:13.520
There is a young girl who never spoke

584
00:32:13.520 --> 00:32:15.600
under five years or five-year-old girl.

585
00:32:15.600 --> 00:32:17.120
Never spoken her life.

586
00:32:17.120 --> 00:32:18.480
Nobody laid hands on them.

587
00:32:18.480 --> 00:32:19.680
I wish I could have said that, you know,

588
00:32:19.680 --> 00:32:22.320
I laid my hands on and boom, something happened.

589
00:32:22.320 --> 00:32:23.760
An electric power happened.

590
00:32:23.760 --> 00:32:25.200
And then they, no, nothing, nothing.

591
00:32:25.920 --> 00:32:27.440
She just went, she couldn't speak.

592
00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:28.480
She just got on stage,

593
00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:29.840
picked up a mic and started speaking.

594
00:32:33.200 --> 00:32:34.800
We are in revival zone.

595
00:32:34.800 --> 00:32:36.320
We're in easy zone.

596
00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:38.800
All you need to do is just show up.

597
00:32:39.120 --> 00:32:41.920
All you need to do is just show up.

598
00:32:42.800 --> 00:32:43.840
Catherine Coolman said,

599
00:32:43.840 --> 00:32:47.440
God is not looking for a silver vessel or a gold vessel.

600
00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:50.000
God is looking for a yield at vessel.

601
00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:52.800
All you need to say is, yes, Lord, I am ready.

602
00:32:53.760 --> 00:32:54.480
I am ready.

603
00:32:54.480 --> 00:32:55.600
I'm available.

604
00:32:55.600 --> 00:32:56.320
Use me.

605
00:32:57.600 --> 00:32:58.400
But guess what happened?

606
00:32:58.400 --> 00:33:01.360
If you don't want to be used by God,

607
00:33:01.360 --> 00:33:02.400
God's still going to do what he,

608
00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:04.080
I mean, I was talking to people in this room.

609
00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:06.480
It's like you were in love with this girl.

610
00:33:06.480 --> 00:33:11.680
And just about the time when you had to just get to business,

611
00:33:12.640 --> 00:33:16.240
get on your knees and just propose to her.

612
00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:17.200
You didn't do it.

613
00:33:18.400 --> 00:33:19.360
You don't have the guts for it.

614
00:33:19.360 --> 00:33:20.000
You didn't feel it.

615
00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:20.480
You know what I'm saying?

616
00:33:21.440 --> 00:33:22.960
Christians always have to feel a lot.

617
00:33:27.760 --> 00:33:29.360
They overspiritualize a lot of things.

618
00:33:29.360 --> 00:33:30.240
I'm telling you, this is a,

619
00:33:31.120 --> 00:33:32.400
all that I say, this is the most

620
00:33:32.400 --> 00:33:34.000
second most important decision of your life.

621
00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:35.760
If you don't get this right, man,

622
00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:37.840
it's hard one, okay?

623
00:33:39.920 --> 00:33:41.600
But you don't show up and you don't do it.

624
00:33:41.600 --> 00:33:42.560
And guess what happened?

625
00:33:42.560 --> 00:33:43.600
Somebody else did.

626
00:33:45.120 --> 00:33:47.680
And they're going to get married to her in front of you

627
00:33:48.400 --> 00:33:49.200
out of that field.

628
00:33:49.200 --> 00:33:49.520
Ouch!

629
00:33:50.640 --> 00:33:51.680
That hurts.

630
00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:54.080
And that's exactly what God is doing.

631
00:33:54.080 --> 00:33:55.520
Because you didn't show up.

632
00:33:55.520 --> 00:33:56.960
God chose somebody else.

633
00:33:56.960 --> 00:33:59.920
And he's going to do the same assignment right in front of you

634
00:33:59.920 --> 00:34:01.760
and make you feel like you missed the bus.

635
00:34:01.760 --> 00:34:02.960
That is miserable.

636
00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:08.080
So, I think God, I'm available.

637
00:34:08.080 --> 00:34:09.040
I'm sorry.

638
00:34:09.040 --> 00:34:10.160
I'm ready.

639
00:34:10.160 --> 00:34:11.840
I'm doing whatever you want me to do.

640
00:34:11.840 --> 00:34:13.040
I mean, I'm a crazy press.

641
00:34:13.040 --> 00:34:14.240
Whatever you want me to go.

642
00:34:14.240 --> 00:34:15.440
Wherever you want me to go.

643
00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:16.720
Whatever you want me to say.

644
00:34:16.720 --> 00:34:17.200
I'm ready.

645
00:34:17.200 --> 00:34:17.680
I'm all in.

646
00:34:17.680 --> 00:34:18.240
I'm all in.

647
00:34:18.240 --> 00:34:20.720
Preaching the gospel.

648
00:34:20.720 --> 00:34:22.480
Number one, telling them he is a healer.

649
00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:24.000
Healing the broken-hearted people.

650
00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:26.320
There's a lot of broken-hearted people out there.

651
00:34:26.320 --> 00:34:28.160
Popping pills every day.

652
00:34:28.160 --> 00:34:29.840
Drinking a lot.

653
00:34:29.840 --> 00:34:32.640
In New York, they have a dog, by the way.

654
00:34:33.600 --> 00:34:35.040
They don't want to get married.

655
00:34:35.040 --> 00:34:36.480
They got too busy with their career.

656
00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:38.640
Now, they just like, they don't know what's going to happen.

657
00:34:38.640 --> 00:34:39.600
But they just need a dog.

658
00:34:39.600 --> 00:34:41.120
They have a dog right now.

659
00:34:41.120 --> 00:34:45.680
And the thing having a dog is going to heal them.

660
00:34:45.680 --> 00:34:46.640
No, listen.

661
00:34:46.640 --> 00:34:48.720
Healing can only come from one person.

662
00:34:48.720 --> 00:34:49.680
That is Jesus Christ.

663
00:34:49.680 --> 00:34:54.720
True healing of the heart and the soul and the body comes from him.

664
00:34:54.720 --> 00:34:57.680
For all the dog lovers, I mean, listen.

665
00:34:57.680 --> 00:34:58.800
I grew up with two dogs.

666
00:34:58.800 --> 00:35:00.160
So, I love dogs.

667
00:35:00.160 --> 00:35:00.800
Not really.

668
00:35:00.800 --> 00:35:08.800
But all I'm saying is, you cannot replace Jesus with anything else.

669
00:35:08.800 --> 00:35:10.000
So, he heals.

670
00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:12.000
Number two, he delivers.

671
00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:17.600
People out there are depressed like you have no idea.

672
00:35:17.600 --> 00:35:18.800
Pornography crazy.

673
00:35:18.800 --> 00:35:21.600
They can look at a guy as a guy.

674
00:35:21.600 --> 00:35:23.600
They can look at a girl as a girl.

675
00:35:23.600 --> 00:35:25.600
Their minds have been perverted by all these things.

676
00:35:25.600 --> 00:35:26.400
So, they watch.

677
00:35:26.400 --> 00:35:27.200
They're depressed.

678
00:35:27.200 --> 00:35:28.400
They're pulling pills.

679
00:35:28.400 --> 00:35:30.400
They're going to therapists.

680
00:35:30.400 --> 00:35:32.400
Six out of 10.

681
00:35:32.400 --> 00:35:34.400
I mean, I heard a one out of four in every campus.

682
00:35:34.400 --> 00:35:36.400
Young people are going through depression.

683
00:35:36.400 --> 00:35:38.400
I was talking to parents like my son's depressed.

684
00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:40.400
Therapy.

685
00:35:40.400 --> 00:35:41.400
This is what is going on.

686
00:35:41.400 --> 00:35:42.400
But let me tell you something.

687
00:35:42.400 --> 00:35:45.400
You have something that you have in your hand.

688
00:35:45.400 --> 00:35:46.400
I'm not overspiritualizing.

689
00:35:46.400 --> 00:35:52.400
But it has got spiritual connotations to what they're going through in their spiritual life in terms of depression.

690
00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:56.400
You have the power to tell them about Jesus who can heal, who can deliver.

691
00:35:56.400 --> 00:36:00.400
And the last piece, I want to say, he restores.

692
00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:02.400
God is a God of restoration.

693
00:36:02.400 --> 00:36:08.400
Only one person can say that I can restore you and he can restore you.

694
00:36:08.400 --> 00:36:09.400
You know why?

695
00:36:09.400 --> 00:36:11.400
Because he's outside time.

696
00:36:11.400 --> 00:36:12.400
God is outside time.

697
00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:13.400
That's what I said.

698
00:36:13.400 --> 00:36:18.400
He can crunch that 30-year breakthrough into like one second because he can restore.

699
00:36:18.400 --> 00:36:19.400
You're looking at somebody.

700
00:36:19.400 --> 00:36:23.400
If you know my story, I would tell you, I am a restored vessel.

701
00:36:23.400 --> 00:36:24.400
Look at my family.

702
00:36:24.400 --> 00:36:26.400
I'm a restored person.

703
00:36:26.400 --> 00:36:28.400
Look at my dad and my mom.

704
00:36:28.400 --> 00:36:29.400
They're restored people.

705
00:36:29.400 --> 00:36:34.400
We are restored people walking around sharing about the one that restored.

706
00:36:34.400 --> 00:36:41.400
And he can do a great job with it.

707
00:36:41.400 --> 00:36:46.400
The spirit of the Lord is upon me to preach good news.

708
00:36:46.400 --> 00:36:47.400
Heal the broken hearted.

709
00:36:47.400 --> 00:36:49.400
Set the captives free.

710
00:36:49.400 --> 00:36:50.400
Amen.

711
00:36:50.400 --> 00:36:51.400
Let me just tell you.

712
00:36:51.400 --> 00:36:53.400
You might be thinking, hey guys, listen.

713
00:36:53.400 --> 00:36:54.400
You're looking at me.

714
00:36:54.400 --> 00:36:55.400
You preach a voice.

715
00:36:55.400 --> 00:36:56.400
You can do it.

716
00:36:56.400 --> 00:36:59.400
You need to know how to put it.

717
00:36:59.400 --> 00:37:04.400
The three points sermon and the cool things and the lingo and the swag and all those things.

718
00:37:04.400 --> 00:37:06.400
Let me just break it down for you.

719
00:37:06.400 --> 00:37:07.400
Is that okay?

720
00:37:07.400 --> 00:37:09.400
How can I share the gospel with somebody?

721
00:37:09.400 --> 00:37:10.400
I'm just doing a little training.

722
00:37:10.400 --> 00:37:11.400
Are you guys okay with that?

723
00:37:11.400 --> 00:37:12.400
Yes.

724
00:37:12.400 --> 00:37:13.400
All right.

725
00:37:13.400 --> 00:37:15.400
Let's look at this word solved.

726
00:37:15.400 --> 00:37:16.400
Say that with me.

727
00:37:17.400 --> 00:37:19.400
Anybody loves some salt on that steak?

728
00:37:19.400 --> 00:37:22.400
Do it like salt, bear you.

729
00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:27.400
Salt is an acronym for sharing the gospel.

730
00:37:27.400 --> 00:37:32.400
Salt starts off with S for start a conversation.

731
00:37:32.400 --> 00:37:34.400
You're at a coffee shop in a line.

732
00:37:34.400 --> 00:37:35.400
Hey, man, what's up?

733
00:37:35.400 --> 00:37:36.400
What's your name?

734
00:37:36.400 --> 00:37:37.400
Start a conversation.

735
00:37:37.400 --> 00:37:38.400
You know, start talking.

736
00:37:38.400 --> 00:37:40.400
Just asking what's going on.

737
00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:41.400
I mean, this is what happened.

738
00:37:41.400 --> 00:37:45.400
Can you put that picture of this couple that I met on a plane from New York to Dallas?

739
00:37:45.400 --> 00:37:46.400
Okay.

740
00:37:46.400 --> 00:37:47.400
New York to Dallas.

741
00:37:47.400 --> 00:37:49.400
Early morning, Southwest plane.

742
00:37:49.400 --> 00:37:50.400
I got an X-L-Drow seat.

743
00:37:50.400 --> 00:37:51.400
X-L-Drow is the economy.

744
00:37:51.400 --> 00:37:54.400
You know, it's the business class of economy.

745
00:37:54.400 --> 00:37:55.400
Right.

746
00:37:55.400 --> 00:37:57.400
So I was like excited.

747
00:37:57.400 --> 00:38:00.400
I'm thanking God and praising God that I got an X-L-Drow seat.

748
00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:02.400
I'm going to stretch my legs and sleep.

749
00:38:02.400 --> 00:38:03.400
And guess what?

750
00:38:03.400 --> 00:38:04.400
A young man comes and sits next to me.

751
00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:05.400
And then a girl, beautiful girl.

752
00:38:05.400 --> 00:38:06.400
Louis would turn back.

753
00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:08.400
Just comes and walks it next to me.

754
00:38:08.400 --> 00:38:09.400
And then boom.

755
00:38:09.400 --> 00:38:11.400
The next 35, three and a half hours.

756
00:38:11.400 --> 00:38:15.400
I, you know, woke up from my sleep and I decided I'm going to do something about it.

757
00:38:15.400 --> 00:38:18.400
I just started to ask questions to these girls.

758
00:38:18.400 --> 00:38:19.400
These guys.

759
00:38:19.400 --> 00:38:20.400
He said he's a baseball player.

760
00:38:20.400 --> 00:38:22.400
She says he's a senator's daughter.

761
00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:23.400
She's an interior designer.

762
00:38:23.400 --> 00:38:24.400
Blah, blah, blah, blah.

763
00:38:24.400 --> 00:38:28.400
And then A starts for asking questions.

764
00:38:28.400 --> 00:38:29.400
So start a conversation.

765
00:38:29.400 --> 00:38:31.400
A for asking questions.

766
00:38:31.400 --> 00:38:32.400
Right.

767
00:38:32.400 --> 00:38:33.400
I'm asking what's going on.

768
00:38:33.400 --> 00:38:34.400
What's going on?

769
00:38:34.400 --> 00:38:35.400
For three hours, I was just asking questions.

770
00:38:35.400 --> 00:38:36.400
Uh-huh.

771
00:38:36.400 --> 00:38:37.400
Really?

772
00:38:37.400 --> 00:38:38.400
My God.

773
00:38:38.400 --> 00:38:39.400
Crazy.

774
00:38:39.400 --> 00:38:40.400
Oh, my God.

775
00:38:40.400 --> 00:38:42.400
I can't believe it.

776
00:38:42.400 --> 00:38:44.400
So I did that for like most of the time.

777
00:38:44.400 --> 00:38:45.400
Ask questions.

778
00:38:45.400 --> 00:38:47.400
L is for listen.

779
00:38:47.400 --> 00:38:49.400
L is for listen.

780
00:38:49.400 --> 00:38:50.400
Preachers, guys, listen.

781
00:38:50.400 --> 00:38:52.400
We love to talk.

782
00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:55.400
We love, we are the talking.

783
00:38:55.400 --> 00:38:56.400
We get paid to talk.

784
00:38:56.400 --> 00:38:58.400
So stop talking.

785
00:38:58.400 --> 00:38:59.400
Right.

786
00:38:59.400 --> 00:39:00.400
Start listening.

787
00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:04.400
That's why he's giving you one mouth and two years.

788
00:39:04.400 --> 00:39:05.400
Right.

789
00:39:05.400 --> 00:39:06.400
So start a conversation.

790
00:39:06.400 --> 00:39:07.400
Ask questions.

791
00:39:07.400 --> 00:39:08.400
Listen.

792
00:39:09.400 --> 00:39:10.400
That's your moment.

793
00:39:10.400 --> 00:39:13.400
At the end of three hours, I was like, what about you?

794
00:39:13.400 --> 00:39:15.400
I'm like, yes.

795
00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:18.400
Then I began to tell them about my story.

796
00:39:18.400 --> 00:39:20.400
I got changed my lab, boom, boom, boom.

797
00:39:20.400 --> 00:39:23.400
And before the plane landed, I held their hands and prayed with them.

798
00:39:23.400 --> 00:39:24.400
They started talking.

799
00:39:24.400 --> 00:39:25.400
They were too strange.

800
00:39:25.400 --> 00:39:26.400
Just two weeks later, they connected.

801
00:39:26.400 --> 00:39:29.400
Got engaged and finally asked me to get there to do their wedding.

802
00:39:29.400 --> 00:39:31.400
And this was their wedding.

803
00:39:31.400 --> 00:39:33.400
Crazy flash wedding.

804
00:39:33.400 --> 00:39:36.400
And this story

805
00:39:37.400 --> 00:39:39.400
became viral on the internet.

806
00:39:39.400 --> 00:39:42.400
They made the top five stories and 50 years of flying on Southwest

807
00:39:42.400 --> 00:39:47.400
because the Indian curry eating pastor decided not to sleep

808
00:39:47.400 --> 00:39:49.400
and but just asked some questions solved.

809
00:39:49.400 --> 00:39:50.400
Start a conversation.

810
00:39:50.400 --> 00:39:51.400
Ask questions.

811
00:39:51.400 --> 00:39:52.400
Listen.

812
00:39:52.400 --> 00:39:53.400
Tell your story.

813
00:39:53.400 --> 00:39:55.400
Are we getting anywhere?

814
00:39:55.400 --> 00:39:56.400
Right.

815
00:39:56.400 --> 00:39:58.400
We're getting to get into close, right?

816
00:39:58.400 --> 00:39:59.400
Pastor?

817
00:39:59.400 --> 00:40:00.400
No.

818
00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:01.400
We're good.

819
00:40:01.400 --> 00:40:02.400
Hallelujah.

820
00:40:02.400 --> 00:40:03.400
Now listen.

821
00:40:03.400 --> 00:40:04.400
This is how you're going to roll.

822
00:40:04.400 --> 00:40:07.400
The spirit of the Lord is upon us.

823
00:40:07.400 --> 00:40:09.400
He's anointed us to preach the good news.

824
00:40:09.400 --> 00:40:10.400
Heal the broken hearted.

825
00:40:10.400 --> 00:40:11.400
Set the cap to free.

826
00:40:11.400 --> 00:40:13.400
These hands of God has given you.

827
00:40:13.400 --> 00:40:14.400
Put it on somebody the other day.

828
00:40:14.400 --> 00:40:15.400
And just say, can I pray for you?

829
00:40:15.400 --> 00:40:16.400
Can I lay hands and pray for you?

830
00:40:16.400 --> 00:40:17.400
Can I say that?

831
00:40:17.400 --> 00:40:20.400
I mean, I don't know how many times you do that with these boys on a...

832
00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:22.400
on a... on a... on a... on a...

833
00:40:22.400 --> 00:40:23.400
Uber ride.

834
00:40:23.400 --> 00:40:25.400
Your name is Muhammad.

835
00:40:25.400 --> 00:40:26.400
I'm like a star of Islam.

836
00:40:26.400 --> 00:40:27.400
I'm like, he gets excited.

837
00:40:27.400 --> 00:40:28.400
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

838
00:40:28.400 --> 00:40:32.400
He just... he just puts the...

839
00:40:32.400 --> 00:40:34.400
all the... you know, the blind... you know, all the...

840
00:40:34.400 --> 00:40:35.400
all the... all the guards are down now.

841
00:40:35.400 --> 00:40:36.400
I like it.

842
00:40:36.400 --> 00:40:37.400
Barney, mom, mostly...

843
00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:38.400
He's not able to understand.

844
00:40:38.400 --> 00:40:40.400
But at the end of the day, we're going to share the gospel with the guy.

845
00:40:40.400 --> 00:40:42.400
There are moments we have prayed with the guys.

846
00:40:42.400 --> 00:40:43.400
There are moments they've joined us in church.

847
00:40:43.400 --> 00:40:45.400
I mean, there's been crazy stories.

848
00:40:45.400 --> 00:40:47.400
All that happens because you said, I am ready.

849
00:40:47.400 --> 00:40:50.400
I'm ready to be a little bit unashamed.

850
00:40:50.400 --> 00:40:52.400
You know, what is stopping you from preaching the gospel?

851
00:40:52.400 --> 00:40:54.400
The fear of man.

852
00:40:54.400 --> 00:40:56.400
The Bible says, the fear of man is a snare.

853
00:40:56.400 --> 00:40:57.400
It is a trap.

854
00:40:57.400 --> 00:40:59.400
It stops you from preaching the gospel.

855
00:41:00.400 --> 00:41:02.400
I guess what happened.

856
00:41:02.400 --> 00:41:04.400
You know, I'm telling you, this church, I'll tell you,

857
00:41:04.400 --> 00:41:07.400
God is speaking to this church in a mighty way.

858
00:41:07.400 --> 00:41:11.400
40 years after the church was birthed in the book of Acts.

859
00:41:11.400 --> 00:41:14.400
Jesus begins to speak to this church in Ephesians and says,

860
00:41:14.400 --> 00:41:15.400
guess what happened?

861
00:41:15.400 --> 00:41:16.400
What does he say?

862
00:41:16.400 --> 00:41:19.400
Return back to the first love.

863
00:41:19.400 --> 00:41:21.400
I wish I could just stand up right here.

864
00:41:21.400 --> 00:41:22.400
I'm going to mess up the camera.

865
00:41:22.400 --> 00:41:24.400
But Jesus, look at me.

866
00:41:24.400 --> 00:41:25.400
I like Jesus speaking to you.

867
00:41:25.400 --> 00:41:28.400
Return back to your first love.

868
00:41:28.400 --> 00:41:30.400
Return back to your first love.

869
00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:32.400
The day that you got saved.

870
00:41:32.400 --> 00:41:33.400
The day that you heard the gospel.

871
00:41:33.400 --> 00:41:35.400
The day that you were falling in love with Jesus.

872
00:41:35.400 --> 00:41:41.400
Now, as a minister, every prayer is about fulfilling a budget.

873
00:41:41.400 --> 00:41:44.400
Every prayer is about a need that you have.

874
00:41:44.400 --> 00:41:46.400
Every prayer has got an agenda.

875
00:41:46.400 --> 00:41:48.400
But return back to the first love.

876
00:41:48.400 --> 00:41:51.400
This morning, God is saying, city light church.

877
00:41:51.400 --> 00:41:53.400
Return back to the first love.

878
00:41:53.400 --> 00:41:54.400
When you got saved.

879
00:41:54.400 --> 00:41:57.400
When you are on fire for Jesus.

880
00:41:57.400 --> 00:42:00.400
Now, the devil got you all blessed.

881
00:42:00.400 --> 00:42:03.400
You know, sometimes the blessing becomes a curse.

882
00:42:03.400 --> 00:42:05.400
God blessed you so much.

883
00:42:05.400 --> 00:42:08.400
Now, the blessing has got you so busy that you don't have time for God

884
00:42:08.400 --> 00:42:11.400
and sharing God's word and God's love to other people.

885
00:42:11.400 --> 00:42:13.400
Are you guys ready with me?

886
00:42:13.400 --> 00:42:15.400
Let's go back to the book of Acts.

887
00:42:15.400 --> 00:42:16.400
Let's see what happened.

888
00:42:16.400 --> 00:42:18.400
Ask chapter one and verse eight.

889
00:42:18.400 --> 00:42:23.400
Jesus said, listen, boys and girls, I know you guys are ready to share the gospel.

890
00:42:23.400 --> 00:42:24.400
Hold in there.

891
00:42:24.400 --> 00:42:25.400
Hold in there.

892
00:42:25.400 --> 00:42:28.400
You need something called power, which I call it.

893
00:42:28.400 --> 00:42:29.400
Shaba power.

894
00:42:29.400 --> 00:42:32.400
You shall receive power.

895
00:42:32.400 --> 00:42:34.400
The word is, do not miss.

896
00:42:34.400 --> 00:42:36.400
Power when the Holy Spirit shall come upon you.

897
00:42:36.400 --> 00:42:38.400
You shall be my witnesses.

898
00:42:38.400 --> 00:42:39.400
What is the witnessing?

899
00:42:39.400 --> 00:42:40.400
It is not a big deal.

900
00:42:40.400 --> 00:42:43.400
I was talking about a hotel that we went on.

901
00:42:43.400 --> 00:42:45.400
Just love their service.

902
00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:48.400
Generous at the, you know, remember the hotel that we were staying?

903
00:42:48.400 --> 00:42:50.400
You know, they were just giving away stuff to the kids.

904
00:42:51.400 --> 00:42:52.400
And we were like, we want to chage.

905
00:42:52.400 --> 00:42:53.400
They were like, no, no.

906
00:42:53.400 --> 00:42:54.400
It is okay, it is on us.

907
00:42:54.400 --> 00:42:56.400
And was number one, day one, I was like, whoa.

908
00:42:56.400 --> 00:43:00.400
The other hotel, another hotel, another city doing the same things.

909
00:43:00.400 --> 00:43:03.400
Two frappuccino, Starbucks, it is like ten bucks.

910
00:43:03.400 --> 00:43:07.400
You pull that out from the, take it to the counter to get, no, no, no, no, no, no.

911
00:43:07.400 --> 00:43:08.400
It is a good return gift from us.

912
00:43:08.400 --> 00:43:09.400
I was like, whoa.

913
00:43:09.400 --> 00:43:11.400
It must be the pastor's blessing.

914
00:43:11.400 --> 00:43:13.400
You know, I am thinking of- you are always spiritualizing.

915
00:43:13.400 --> 00:43:15.400
And the third place you go, the same thing happens again.

916
00:43:15.400 --> 00:43:19.400
Then we found out it is actually the culture of the hotel.

917
00:43:19.400 --> 00:43:22.400
that I began to be an evangelist of the hotel.

918
00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:25.400
All my brother, you have to go to this hotel.

919
00:43:25.400 --> 00:43:27.400
I'm telling everybody about this hotel.

920
00:43:27.400 --> 00:43:30.400
That's exactly what God wants you to do.

921
00:43:30.400 --> 00:43:34.400
Just be telling about what God has done in your life.

922
00:43:34.400 --> 00:43:37.400
Don't get that into three-point sermon,

923
00:43:37.400 --> 00:43:40.400
how Tim Keller does it, or he does it at one point.

924
00:43:40.400 --> 00:43:43.400
He's my neighbor by the way.

925
00:43:43.400 --> 00:43:44.400
So I'm just trying to say,

926
00:43:44.400 --> 00:43:46.400
you don't have to spiritualize it and systemize it

927
00:43:46.400 --> 00:43:48.400
and institutionalize it.

928
00:43:48.400 --> 00:43:51.400
You just got to make it organic.

929
00:43:51.400 --> 00:43:53.400
And share it the way you can.

930
00:43:53.400 --> 00:43:54.400
And boom, guess what happened?

931
00:43:54.400 --> 00:43:55.400
Receive the power.

932
00:43:55.400 --> 00:43:57.400
And then in Acts 2,

933
00:43:57.400 --> 00:44:00.400
the Holy Spirit falls on those 120 hungry people.

934
00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:02.400
Number one, if you want to be used by God,

935
00:44:02.400 --> 00:44:05.400
you got to be hungry.

936
00:44:05.400 --> 00:44:07.400
Hungry, desperate, unashamed,

937
00:44:07.400 --> 00:44:09.400
and said, God, I am ready.

938
00:44:09.400 --> 00:44:11.400
Whatever you want me to do, hungry people,

939
00:44:11.400 --> 00:44:14.400
120 people, boom, the Holy Spirit comes upon them,

940
00:44:14.400 --> 00:44:16.400
starts speaking in new tongues.

941
00:44:16.400 --> 00:44:18.400
Guess what happened after that?

942
00:44:18.400 --> 00:44:20.400
Acts 1, 2 and worse.

943
00:44:20.400 --> 00:44:21.400
Let's go.

944
00:44:21.400 --> 00:44:22.400
Where are we?

945
00:44:22.400 --> 00:44:26.400
Acts 2 and worse.

946
00:44:26.400 --> 00:44:27.400
2 and worse, 38.

947
00:44:27.400 --> 00:44:29.400
This dude called Peter,

948
00:44:29.400 --> 00:44:31.400
who denied Jesus three times,

949
00:44:31.400 --> 00:44:35.400
who doesn't have the capacity to stand up and do nothing,

950
00:44:35.400 --> 00:44:37.400
who has never preached a sermon.

951
00:44:37.400 --> 00:44:39.400
He hasn't gone to the preaching class.

952
00:44:39.400 --> 00:44:42.400
He gets up and speaks his first sermon.

953
00:44:42.400 --> 00:44:47.400
Three thousand people get saved in one message.

954
00:44:47.400 --> 00:44:49.400
So you don't need to be, you know,

955
00:44:49.400 --> 00:44:51.400
this is something I have to tell myself all the time,

956
00:44:51.400 --> 00:44:54.400
being in New York and just hanging out with the who's and who's,

957
00:44:54.400 --> 00:44:57.400
Barney, God never used the qualified.

958
00:44:57.400 --> 00:45:00.400
He qualifies the cold.

959
00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:03.400
He never calls the qualified.

960
00:45:03.400 --> 00:45:06.400
He qualifies the cold.

961
00:45:06.400 --> 00:45:08.400
The question is, are you called?

962
00:45:08.400 --> 00:45:11.400
He's never asking you, are you qualified?

963
00:45:11.400 --> 00:45:13.400
Are you called?

964
00:45:13.400 --> 00:45:15.400
Are you called to preach the good news?

965
00:45:15.400 --> 00:45:17.400
Are you called to be in the gap of God,

966
00:45:17.400 --> 00:45:20.400
to God to use you wherever you are in your marketplace?

967
00:45:20.400 --> 00:45:22.400
If you're called, Jesus is saying, yes, go.

968
00:45:22.400 --> 00:45:24.400
241, guess what happened?

969
00:45:24.400 --> 00:45:27.400
People are getting baptized everywhere, right?

970
00:45:27.400 --> 00:45:29.400
They're just getting it back into the basics.

971
00:45:29.400 --> 00:45:32.400
I told the American church has gone into optics,

972
00:45:32.400 --> 00:45:36.400
metrics, it's about how many birds and how much bugs.

973
00:45:36.400 --> 00:45:38.400
How many people showed up?

974
00:45:38.400 --> 00:45:40.400
How much they gave, right?

975
00:45:40.400 --> 00:45:44.400
But optics, how cool it looks, the branding, the lighting,

976
00:45:44.400 --> 00:45:47.400
and this and that and the coffee and the snacks and chocolate cake

977
00:45:47.400 --> 00:45:50.400
or carrot cake, whatever, all those things, right?

978
00:45:50.400 --> 00:45:52.400
You have to go back to the basics of reading the word of God.

979
00:45:52.400 --> 00:45:53.400
Guess what happened?

980
00:45:53.400 --> 00:45:54.400
Let me just tell you something.

981
00:45:54.400 --> 00:45:58.400
If you read the Bible for three days in a row, this is what happens.

982
00:45:58.400 --> 00:45:59.400
Three to four days.

983
00:45:59.400 --> 00:46:02.400
I tell these campus students who don't even care about the Bible.

984
00:46:02.400 --> 00:46:04.400
I'm saying, this is a book if you read it.

985
00:46:04.400 --> 00:46:06.400
Your mental health is going to drop.

986
00:46:06.400 --> 00:46:09.400
Fear is going to drop by 32%.

987
00:46:09.400 --> 00:46:11.400
Depression is going to drop by 36%.

988
00:46:11.400 --> 00:46:14.400
Pornography is going to drop by 52%.

989
00:46:14.400 --> 00:46:16.400
Evangelism is going to go up by 200%.

990
00:46:16.400 --> 00:46:19.400
Discipleship is going to go up by 220%.

991
00:46:19.400 --> 00:46:24.400
Just by reading this book.

992
00:46:24.400 --> 00:46:27.400
Start reading the book, okay?

993
00:46:27.400 --> 00:46:29.400
So they got back into the basics.

994
00:46:29.400 --> 00:46:32.400
Reading, prayer, fellowship, listening to what the Godly authority

995
00:46:32.400 --> 00:46:34.400
was on top of that and guess what happened?

996
00:46:34.400 --> 00:46:38.400
People got saved every single day.

997
00:46:38.400 --> 00:46:40.400
How does city light grow?

998
00:46:40.400 --> 00:46:44.400
By putting cool ads and putting a lot of ad money

999
00:46:44.400 --> 00:46:48.400
and getting some cool influencers and worship leaders

1000
00:46:48.400 --> 00:46:51.400
and pastors, different sight angles and front angle,

1001
00:46:51.400 --> 00:46:55.400
side angle, moving cameras, passive points, different.

1002
00:46:55.400 --> 00:46:57.400
Nothing's going to work.

1003
00:46:57.400 --> 00:47:01.400
People are going to come to the church when you begin to tell people

1004
00:47:01.400 --> 00:47:03.400
to come to this church.

1005
00:47:03.400 --> 00:47:06.400
When you begin to invite them, when you begin to share the gospel,

1006
00:47:06.400 --> 00:47:08.400
they need to take some next steps and you say,

1007
00:47:08.400 --> 00:47:11.400
come to city light and then they start coming here,

1008
00:47:11.400 --> 00:47:14.400
start getting saved and start filling these forms.

1009
00:47:14.400 --> 00:47:18.400
So if you want to see these empty chairs and other services

1010
00:47:18.400 --> 00:47:20.400
and you want to start another service and an evening service

1011
00:47:20.400 --> 00:47:24.400
and new location, it's not in their ball, it's not in their court,

1012
00:47:24.400 --> 00:47:26.400
it is in your court.

1013
00:47:26.400 --> 00:47:28.400
If you would preach the gospel, everybody in this room

1014
00:47:28.400 --> 00:47:31.400
would preach the gospel, boom, there will not be any space.

1015
00:47:31.400 --> 00:47:34.400
There will be a standing room only, right pastor?

1016
00:47:34.400 --> 00:47:35.400
That's right.

1017
00:47:35.400 --> 00:47:37.400
Right now, let's go last thing.

1018
00:47:37.400 --> 00:47:42.400
You know, Paul gets transformed and Paul and Barnabas

1019
00:47:42.400 --> 00:47:43.400
go on this mission.

1020
00:47:43.400 --> 00:47:48.400
It says, within two years, all of Asia heard the gospel.

1021
00:47:48.400 --> 00:47:51.400
My Asia Minor heard the gospel because of two guys.

1022
00:47:51.400 --> 00:47:53.400
They didn't have the TV ministry.

1023
00:47:53.400 --> 00:47:56.400
They didn't have Instagram stories in life.

1024
00:47:56.400 --> 00:47:58.400
They didn't have the text messaging platform.

1025
00:47:58.400 --> 00:48:01.400
They didn't have those cool networking events that they did.

1026
00:48:01.400 --> 00:48:04.400
All they did was, they did it and they told other people

1027
00:48:04.400 --> 00:48:05.400
to do the same.

1028
00:48:05.400 --> 00:48:06.400
That's exactly.

1029
00:48:06.400 --> 00:48:07.400
This preaching is not just preaching.

1030
00:48:07.400 --> 00:48:09.400
I'm just doing a mini training.

1031
00:48:09.400 --> 00:48:13.400
A mini evangelism training to say that is not just for preachers like us.

1032
00:48:13.400 --> 00:48:14.400
You can do it.

1033
00:48:14.400 --> 00:48:15.400
Salt is for everybody.

1034
00:48:15.400 --> 00:48:16.400
Start a conversation.

1035
00:48:16.400 --> 00:48:17.400
Ask questions.

1036
00:48:17.400 --> 00:48:18.400
Listen.

1037
00:48:18.400 --> 00:48:19.400
Tell your story.

1038
00:48:19.400 --> 00:48:20.400
Boom.

1039
00:48:20.400 --> 00:48:21.400
Got them saved.

1040
00:48:21.400 --> 00:48:22.400
Now where do they go?

1041
00:48:22.400 --> 00:48:23.400
Come to church.

1042
00:48:23.400 --> 00:48:25.400
And they start showing up.

1043
00:48:25.400 --> 00:48:26.400
Amen.

1044
00:48:26.400 --> 00:48:29.400
So this morning, I want to read the scripture and close it.

1045
00:48:29.400 --> 00:48:30.400
Right.

1046
00:48:30.400 --> 00:48:32.400
Romans chapter 10.

1047
00:48:32.400 --> 00:48:34.400
Romans chapter 10 and verse 14.

1048
00:48:34.400 --> 00:48:35.400
Now the ball is in your court.

1049
00:48:35.400 --> 00:48:41.400
It says, how can they call on the one they have not believed?

1050
00:48:41.400 --> 00:48:45.400
And how can they believe in the one that they have not heard?

1051
00:48:45.400 --> 00:48:48.400
And how can they hear with us somebody preaching to them?

1052
00:48:48.400 --> 00:48:52.400
And how can anyone preach unless they are sent

1053
00:48:52.400 --> 00:48:53.400
as it is written?

1054
00:48:53.400 --> 00:48:56.400
How beautiful are the feet of those who bring the good news?

1055
00:48:56.400 --> 00:49:00.400
This morning, I'm telling you, thousands of people are waiting for the good news.

1056
00:49:00.400 --> 00:49:04.400
And if you would say, yes, God is going to use you.

1057
00:49:04.400 --> 00:49:06.400
And how many people out of this room?

1058
00:49:06.400 --> 00:49:09.400
I'm telling you, this is the send happening right now in your church.

1059
00:49:09.400 --> 00:49:12.400
We're going to pray and send you out.

1060
00:49:12.400 --> 00:49:14.400
We're going to pray and commission you.

1061
00:49:14.400 --> 00:49:17.400
We're going to pray and say, go and preach the gospel.

1062
00:49:17.400 --> 00:49:20.400
Go and preach the gospel.

1063
00:49:20.400 --> 00:49:24.400
The only qualification right here is to go preach the gospel.

1064
00:49:24.400 --> 00:49:29.400
Mark 1615, go preach the gospel to all over the world.

1065
00:49:29.400 --> 00:49:32.400
Maybe God's going to call you to a different nation.

1066
00:49:32.400 --> 00:49:33.400
Great.

1067
00:49:33.400 --> 00:49:35.400
Maybe God's going to call you to a different assign.

1068
00:49:35.400 --> 00:49:37.400
I don't care what it is happening.

1069
00:49:37.400 --> 00:49:39.400
The church is not known by its seeding capacity.

1070
00:49:39.400 --> 00:49:42.400
It is known by its sending capacity.

1071
00:49:42.400 --> 00:49:44.400
Now this church is a giving church.

1072
00:49:44.400 --> 00:49:46.400
This church is a sending church.

1073
00:49:46.400 --> 00:49:49.400
This church is a church that believes in apostolic ministry.

1074
00:49:49.400 --> 00:49:54.400
We don't want to hold nobody because the more you go, the more we'll come in.

1075
00:49:54.400 --> 00:49:55.400
Amen?

1076
00:49:55.400 --> 00:50:00.400
So this is a call this morning by the Lord is saying, return back to your first love.

1077
00:50:00.400 --> 00:50:02.400
Come back to square one.

1078
00:50:02.400 --> 00:50:04.400
What is your original assignment?

1079
00:50:04.400 --> 00:50:07.400
Some people God tipped you from another country into this city.

1080
00:50:07.400 --> 00:50:09.400
You think it was a cool idea.

1081
00:50:09.400 --> 00:50:10.400
It was your idea.

1082
00:50:10.400 --> 00:50:12.400
No, it was not your idea. It was God's idea.

1083
00:50:12.400 --> 00:50:14.400
God brought you from the nations.

1084
00:50:14.400 --> 00:50:17.400
This nation has been a sender of missions.

1085
00:50:17.400 --> 00:50:23.400
Missionaries around the world has become the greatest mission feel in the century.

1086
00:50:23.400 --> 00:50:26.400
So as we have the worship team coming up right now,

1087
00:50:26.400 --> 00:50:31.400
this morning is going to become a send commissioned morning.

1088
00:50:31.400 --> 00:50:35.400
Every single person in this room and watching online,

1089
00:50:35.400 --> 00:50:38.400
we are praying and sending you out.

1090
00:50:38.400 --> 00:50:42.400
We are praying and sending that you will go and preach the gospel.

1091
00:50:42.400 --> 00:50:43.400
You will know whatever.

1092
00:50:43.400 --> 00:50:45.400
Maybe you don't have all these skills.

1093
00:50:45.400 --> 00:50:49.400
Maybe you can just ask them, you know, how many kids God saved just me telling them

1094
00:50:49.400 --> 00:50:52.400
to come to church and listen to the cool drummer.

1095
00:50:52.400 --> 00:50:55.400
Go and invite.

1096
00:50:55.400 --> 00:50:56.400
Go and invite.

1097
00:50:56.400 --> 00:50:58.400
Every hands, everybody stand up right now.

1098
00:50:58.400 --> 00:51:00.400
What's your team is here?

1099
00:51:00.400 --> 00:51:04.400
Before I end the service, I just want to say, there's anybody here watching online.

1100
00:51:04.400 --> 00:51:07.400
You've never accepted Jesus as your personal savior.

1101
00:51:07.400 --> 00:51:10.400
You've been born and raised up in a Christian home.

1102
00:51:10.400 --> 00:51:11.400
You heard of Jesus.

1103
00:51:11.400 --> 00:51:15.400
I made the commitment of Jesus asking Jesus to become your Lord and Savior.

1104
00:51:15.400 --> 00:51:17.400
And God is saying today is the day.

1105
00:51:17.400 --> 00:51:19.400
He doesn't care about your past.

1106
00:51:19.400 --> 00:51:22.400
He doesn't care about your sins that you've done this morning.

1107
00:51:22.400 --> 00:51:26.400
He says, I'm going to wash you away and cleanse you with the precious blood of Jesus

1108
00:51:26.400 --> 00:51:29.400
that he shed on the cross for you.

1109
00:51:29.400 --> 00:51:32.400
And he wants you to be born again and welcome to the kingdom.

1110
00:51:32.400 --> 00:51:33.400
That's going to be number one.

1111
00:51:33.400 --> 00:51:37.400
Number two is going to people who want to recommit their life.

1112
00:51:37.400 --> 00:51:39.400
You feel like you've been walking away from Christ.

1113
00:51:39.400 --> 00:51:42.400
You want to recommit and say, I want to come back to you, Jesus.

1114
00:51:42.400 --> 00:51:44.400
And that is me.

1115
00:51:44.400 --> 00:51:45.400
Just flip up your hands.

1116
00:51:45.400 --> 00:51:46.400
Every eye is closed right now.

1117
00:51:46.400 --> 00:51:47.400
Flip up your hand wherever you are.

1118
00:51:47.400 --> 00:51:48.400
And say, that is me.

1119
00:51:48.400 --> 00:51:49.400
Yes. Yes. Yes.

1120
00:51:49.400 --> 00:51:50.400
I see those hands.

1121
00:51:50.400 --> 00:51:51.400
Anybody else.

1122
00:51:51.400 --> 00:51:52.400
Anybody else.

1123
00:51:52.400 --> 00:51:53.400
This is your moment.

1124
00:51:53.400 --> 00:51:54.400
Just say, yes, Lord.

1125
00:51:54.400 --> 00:51:55.400
I want to ask you to come into my life.

1126
00:51:55.400 --> 00:51:58.400
I want to recommit my life for your plans.

1127
00:51:58.400 --> 00:52:00.400
If that is you, flip up your hand.

1128
00:52:00.400 --> 00:52:01.400
We're going to pray this prayer together.

1129
00:52:01.400 --> 00:52:02.400
Everybody praying with me.

1130
00:52:02.400 --> 00:52:03.400
Jesus.

1131
00:52:03.400 --> 00:52:05.400
I know that I'm a sinner.

1132
00:52:05.400 --> 00:52:07.400
Today.

1133
00:52:07.400 --> 00:52:10.400
I believe that you died on the cross for me.

1134
00:52:10.400 --> 00:52:13.400
By the blood of Jesus.

1135
00:52:13.400 --> 00:52:15.400
All my sins are washed away.

1136
00:52:15.400 --> 00:52:16.400
Jesus.

1137
00:52:16.400 --> 00:52:18.400
Come into my life.

1138
00:52:18.400 --> 00:52:20.400
Make me a new person.

1139
00:52:20.400 --> 00:52:22.400
In Jesus mighty name.

1140
00:52:22.400 --> 00:52:23.400
Amen.

1141
00:52:23.400 --> 00:52:24.400
Amen.

1142
00:52:24.400 --> 00:52:25.400
One more thing I want to do.

1143
00:52:25.400 --> 00:52:26.400
How many in this room?

1144
00:52:26.400 --> 00:52:27.400
I want to stand up here.

1145
00:52:27.400 --> 00:52:30.400
How many in this room wants to say, God, I want to be used by you.

1146
00:52:30.400 --> 00:52:33.400
I want to be sent from this room.

1147
00:52:34.400 --> 00:52:38.400
Right from this room, I want to be sent out as a missionary,

1148
00:52:38.400 --> 00:52:42.400
as a man on mission, as a woman on mission, as a child on mission.

1149
00:52:42.400 --> 00:52:45.400
And I'm saying, Lord, I know I don't have the qualification for it,

1150
00:52:45.400 --> 00:52:46.400
but I am here.

1151
00:52:46.400 --> 00:52:47.400
I feel I'm called.

1152
00:52:47.400 --> 00:52:49.400
And you said you will call.

1153
00:52:49.400 --> 00:52:52.400
You will call and use the people that are available.

1154
00:52:52.400 --> 00:52:53.400
And here I am.

1155
00:52:53.400 --> 00:52:54.400
That is you.

1156
00:52:54.400 --> 00:52:55.400
Just lift up your hands wherever you are.

1157
00:52:55.400 --> 00:52:56.400
And say, yes, Lord.

1158
00:52:56.400 --> 00:52:57.400
Here I am.

1159
00:52:57.400 --> 00:52:58.400
Yes, Lord.

1160
00:52:58.400 --> 00:52:59.400
Here I am.

1161
00:52:59.400 --> 00:53:00.400
Father.

1162
00:53:00.400 --> 00:53:01.400
Send me.

1163
00:53:01.400 --> 00:53:02.400
Father, send me.

1164
00:53:02.400 --> 00:53:03.400
Father, use me.

1165
00:53:03.400 --> 00:53:05.400
I am willing.

1166
00:53:05.400 --> 00:53:07.400
I am available.

1167
00:53:07.400 --> 00:53:08.400
I am ready.

1168
00:53:08.400 --> 00:53:10.400
Use my mouth.

1169
00:53:10.400 --> 00:53:11.400
Use my hands.

1170
00:53:11.400 --> 00:53:13.400
Use my feet.

1171
00:53:13.400 --> 00:53:14.400
Use my life.

1172
00:53:14.400 --> 00:53:16.400
Use my family.

1173
00:53:16.400 --> 00:53:19.400
For the expansion of God's kingdom.

1174
00:53:19.400 --> 00:53:21.400
Lord, use me in this room.

1175
00:53:21.400 --> 00:53:22.400
Use me.
