00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.400
haven't found that out yet.

00:00:01.400 --> 00:00:04.320
Alright, guys, so the topic today is Rehoboth,

00:00:04.320 --> 00:00:07.520
but we're gonna talk about healing.

00:00:07.520 --> 00:00:10.580
Rehoboth, and we're gonna talk about healing.

00:00:10.580 --> 00:00:13.600
So whenever a church,

00:00:13.600 --> 00:00:17.160
whenever God would bring in a new commission to Israel,

00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:19.320
He usually would provide them a new location

00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:21.200
or a new tabernacle,

00:00:21.200 --> 00:00:24.840
and then He would change the operating system

00:00:24.840 --> 00:00:25.760
of the priesthood.

00:00:26.840 --> 00:00:28.200
In the Old Testament, you would see this.

00:00:28.200 --> 00:00:32.160
Whenever there was a new commission or a reformation

00:00:32.160 --> 00:00:35.800
that God would bring about in Israel,

00:00:35.800 --> 00:00:38.440
He would provide them a new location

00:00:38.440 --> 00:00:41.040
or sometimes even a new tabernacle,

00:00:41.040 --> 00:00:44.280
and He would change the way the priesthood function.

00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:47.040
It was like almost a new operating system.

00:00:47.040 --> 00:00:50.860
And so be it the Levites or be it how David configured

00:00:50.860 --> 00:00:52.660
things which we talked about last week.

00:00:52.660 --> 00:00:54.560
This is something God used to do.

00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:58.120
And so if you go back, and surprisingly,

00:00:59.040 --> 00:01:00.640
I was asking the Lord, Father, what should I speak about?

00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:05.640
This is something that we had spoken about in 2019

00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:08.280
that I, that again talked about Rehoboth,

00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:10.440
and I felt we should go down this road.

00:01:10.440 --> 00:01:13.240
So one of the things God wants to do for us

00:01:13.240 --> 00:01:18.240
is the Lord, the Lord wants to give us room in this land.

00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:23.280
The Lord wants to give us room in this land

00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:28.400
by pouring out His mercy through healing,

00:01:31.600 --> 00:01:36.440
by pouring out His mercy through healing.

00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:44.960
The Lord will give us room, not wants to,

00:01:44.960 --> 00:01:47.200
the Lord will give us room in this land

00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:49.920
by pouring out His mercy through us,

00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:52.160
but the dominant way of pouring out mercy

00:01:52.160 --> 00:01:53.960
upon this land will be through physical

00:01:53.960 --> 00:01:55.140
and spiritual healing.

00:02:00.600 --> 00:02:02.280
I wish every time I said something like this,

00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:06.720
God would come up with a sign to validate what I'm saying.

00:02:06.720 --> 00:02:08.920
But if anything happens behind me, let me know.

00:02:08.920 --> 00:02:11.120
But here's the thing I want to say,

00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:16.080
that the Lord is going to give us room in this land

00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:20.020
by having us pour out His mercy,

00:02:20.020 --> 00:02:23.500
but it'll be dominantly through physical healing.

00:02:32.100 --> 00:02:34.280
As central as faith is for healing,

00:02:37.220 --> 00:02:39.280
as central as faith is for healing,

00:02:40.460 --> 00:02:44.300
mercy is another scriptural approach to healing.

00:02:44.300 --> 00:02:47.180
The mercy of God triggers healing.

00:02:47.180 --> 00:02:49.780
The mercy of God triggers healing.

00:02:50.020 --> 00:02:53.260
The mercy of God triggers healing.

00:02:54.420 --> 00:02:57.620
So if you look at these New Testament scriptures

00:02:57.620 --> 00:03:02.620
in Matthew 15-22, this woman comes to Jesus and says,

00:03:02.900 --> 00:03:04.700
son of David have mercy on me.

00:03:04.700 --> 00:03:07.280
She had a daughter who was demonized.

00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:12.280
In Matthew 17-15, there is a boy who's been thrown

00:03:12.780 --> 00:03:15.140
into fits and his dad comes and says,

00:03:15.140 --> 00:03:17.260
Jesus please have mercy on my son.

00:03:18.260 --> 00:03:21.780
The famous passage of Matthew 20-30,

00:03:21.780 --> 00:03:23.900
where there's a blind man and he comes and says,

00:03:23.900 --> 00:03:25.560
son of David have mercy on me.

00:03:26.780 --> 00:03:29.340
In Mark 5-19, it's beautiful.

00:03:29.340 --> 00:03:32.660
Jesus turns around and says to the demoniac

00:03:32.660 --> 00:03:35.540
who's been delivered in the gatherings,

00:03:35.540 --> 00:03:38.340
saying go tell the people in Decapolis

00:03:38.340 --> 00:03:41.860
of the mercy that I the Lord have shown you.

00:03:41.860 --> 00:03:44.100
He healed the man, delivered the man,

00:03:44.220 --> 00:03:47.780
but the words he uses, go to Mark 5-19.

00:03:48.540 --> 00:03:49.900
Mark 5-19.

00:03:54.980 --> 00:03:58.340
And it says that Jesus did not let him go with him,

00:03:58.340 --> 00:04:00.500
but said, go home to your own people

00:04:00.500 --> 00:04:03.020
and tell them how much the Lord has done for you

00:04:03.020 --> 00:04:06.060
and how he has had mercy on you.

00:04:06.060 --> 00:04:09.280
And so there is this idea of mercy that seems to track.

00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:13.780
And then you know the famous story of Luke 17 verse 19,

00:04:13.820 --> 00:04:18.820
verse 13, where the lepers are standing there

00:04:18.940 --> 00:04:20.420
and they're calling out saying,

00:04:20.420 --> 00:04:23.540
Lord have mercy on us, Lord have mercy on us.

00:04:23.540 --> 00:04:24.620
The 10 lepers.

00:04:25.700 --> 00:04:29.060
And then you even have the story of Epaphroditus

00:04:29.060 --> 00:04:31.060
in Philippians 2 verse 27,

00:04:36.180 --> 00:04:39.220
where Paul says to the church in Philippi,

00:04:39.220 --> 00:04:41.820
that listen guys, you need to know that Epaphroditus

00:04:41.980 --> 00:04:44.820
was nearly dying, but thank God for his mercies.

00:04:44.820 --> 00:04:46.820
It was his mercies that healed him.

00:04:46.820 --> 00:04:51.820
So even as much as faith is critical to healing,

00:04:52.300 --> 00:04:55.300
another scriptural approach to healing is the mercy of God.

00:04:55.300 --> 00:04:59.780
It does not replace faith, it complements faith.

00:04:59.780 --> 00:05:03.540
Psalm 6 verse two, David is crying out and he's saying,

00:05:03.540 --> 00:05:05.860
be merciful to me and heal me.

00:05:05.860 --> 00:05:07.120
Hi guys.

00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:09.380
Be merciful to me and heal me.

00:05:09.380 --> 00:05:11.220
One of the things guys,

00:05:11.220 --> 00:05:12.060
oh, a tear.

00:05:18.940 --> 00:05:20.580
Be merciful to me and heal me.

00:05:20.580 --> 00:05:24.300
One of the things that goes wrong when we go down the route

00:05:24.300 --> 00:05:28.300
of finding out the roots of diseases is that it's okay.

00:05:28.300 --> 00:05:30.820
There is validity to finding out why a disease

00:05:30.820 --> 00:05:35.060
may be caused, but in the process, mercy usually exits.

00:05:35.060 --> 00:05:40.060
And because I came out of that school of thinking,

00:05:42.660 --> 00:05:46.340
I have to sometimes fight to recover mercy

00:05:46.340 --> 00:05:50.020
because I can discern the root of a sickness easily,

00:05:50.020 --> 00:05:52.700
but I'm not showing mercy as I deal with it.

00:05:52.700 --> 00:05:57.220
I'm dealing with it as you fix this, you'll get well,

00:05:57.220 --> 00:06:02.220
which may be true, but it seems to suck the mercy

00:06:02.300 --> 00:06:03.140
out of the process.

00:06:03.140 --> 00:06:06.620
And I say, unless you reintroduce mercy into the process,

00:06:06.620 --> 00:06:08.440
finding out roots and dealing with it

00:06:08.440 --> 00:06:11.580
will become a forensic audit, not a divine audit.

00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:19.020
Reintroduce mercy into finding out roots too.

00:06:19.020 --> 00:06:20.620
Otherwise it gets too clinical.

00:06:20.620 --> 00:06:24.100
It is, this is the reason why this is happening, fix it.

00:06:24.100 --> 00:06:26.340
And if you fix it, God will heal you.

00:06:26.340 --> 00:06:28.740
And it is true, some things need to be fixed.

00:06:28.740 --> 00:06:31.780
Jesus himself said to some of the ones he was sealing,

00:06:31.780 --> 00:06:34.540
listen, do not sin anymore, otherwise this will happen,

00:06:34.540 --> 00:06:36.180
but mercy goes out of it.

00:06:39.860 --> 00:06:41.420
I've done that to people,

00:06:41.420 --> 00:06:43.620
and I don't wanna keep doing that to people.

00:06:46.100 --> 00:06:47.540
Any questions before we go on?

00:06:48.540 --> 00:06:51.540
Man, my handwriting sucks in this.

00:06:51.540 --> 00:06:52.660
On the board it was better,

00:06:52.660 --> 00:06:55.660
I think it needs to be at an angle, yeah.

00:07:02.420 --> 00:07:05.260
Yeah, my mom did want me to be a doctor.

00:07:06.740 --> 00:07:08.140
At least she got this bit.

00:07:09.300 --> 00:07:12.100
Rest of the son didn't work out, but his handwriting did.

00:07:14.020 --> 00:07:15.780
Guys, any questions?

00:07:16.940 --> 00:07:18.880
So the Lord will give us room in this land

00:07:18.880 --> 00:07:20.900
by pouring out his mercy through us,

00:07:20.900 --> 00:07:23.540
but the mercy that he pours out,

00:07:23.540 --> 00:07:26.140
the dominant way of pouring out mercy upon this land

00:07:26.140 --> 00:07:27.780
will be through physical healing.

00:07:29.320 --> 00:07:30.460
Let me go back to the first one.

00:07:30.460 --> 00:07:33.420
The Lord wants to give us room in the land

00:07:33.420 --> 00:07:36.020
by pouring out his mercy through healing.

00:07:36.020 --> 00:07:39.420
That'll be the dominant way he'll show his mercy.

00:07:39.420 --> 00:07:42.340
Dominant way of showing mercy

00:07:42.340 --> 00:07:45.260
will be through having us heal.

00:07:47.580 --> 00:07:49.140
If you go to Hebrews 4.16,

00:07:49.140 --> 00:07:51.860
I know it talks about us approaching God,

00:07:51.860 --> 00:07:55.300
where he says approach the throne of grace with confidence,

00:07:55.300 --> 00:07:56.180
but now God is saying,

00:07:56.180 --> 00:07:58.460
listen, why don't you take Hebrews 4.16

00:07:58.460 --> 00:07:59.600
and use it on their behalf?

00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:00.960
So he's basically saying,

00:08:00.960 --> 00:08:05.240
hey, I'm commanding you to go to people out there

00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:07.560
so that they can approach the throne of grace

00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:10.200
with confidence, so that they can receive mercy,

00:08:10.200 --> 00:08:13.460
so that they can find grace to help in their time of need.

00:08:14.520 --> 00:08:16.400
So set your eyes on mercy.

00:08:16.400 --> 00:08:20.440
Habakkuk 3.2, remember that, no, you won't remember it.

00:08:20.440 --> 00:08:22.620
Only old timers will remember this song.

00:08:22.620 --> 00:08:23.460
It was,

00:08:23.460 --> 00:08:26.700
Lord, I have heard of your fame.

00:08:26.700 --> 00:08:29.480
I stand in awe of your deeds.

00:08:31.780 --> 00:08:32.900
Don't know that song, right?

00:08:32.900 --> 00:08:34.460
Okay, it's from Habakkuk 3.2.

00:08:34.460 --> 00:08:35.500
Lord, I've heard of your fame.

00:08:35.500 --> 00:08:36.660
I stand in awe of your deeds.

00:08:36.660 --> 00:08:38.300
O Lord, renew them in our day.

00:08:38.300 --> 00:08:39.620
In our time, make them known.

00:08:39.620 --> 00:08:41.520
Instead of wrath, remember mercy.

00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:50.200
I want us to be ones that leave this place after communion,

00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:54.820
going with a sure knowledge that if this is God,

00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:57.500
and it's not too hard to figure out if this is God.

00:08:57.500 --> 00:09:00.100
This is what God has always been doing in the New Testament,

00:09:00.100 --> 00:09:01.740
in the gospels, in the book of Acts.

00:09:01.740 --> 00:09:03.940
It's just that we haven't been able to dive into it

00:09:03.940 --> 00:09:05.440
or participate with him.

00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:07.220
So is this the nature of God?

00:09:07.220 --> 00:09:08.040
Absolutely.

00:09:08.040 --> 00:09:09.260
Is this what he likes doing?

00:09:09.260 --> 00:09:10.360
Absolutely.

00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:11.940
Is this what he wants to do through us?

00:09:11.940 --> 00:09:12.820
Absolutely.

00:09:12.820 --> 00:09:14.580
I'm saying that the time has come

00:09:14.580 --> 00:09:17.620
and we need to take on this robe of mercy

00:09:17.620 --> 00:09:20.060
and add it to the faith that we have

00:09:20.060 --> 00:09:22.460
and the desire we have to bring this to pass here

00:09:22.460 --> 00:09:23.300
in the city.

00:09:23.300 --> 00:09:26.420
God is giving us room in this land by pouring out mercy

00:09:26.420 --> 00:09:29.080
and the dominant way of expressing his mercy

00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:31.180
will be through healing others.

00:09:32.260 --> 00:09:33.160
Any questions?

00:09:41.540 --> 00:09:44.900
Would our faith as people who bring healing

00:09:44.900 --> 00:09:46.940
impact a new philosophy?

00:09:46.940 --> 00:09:48.460
Yes.

00:09:48.460 --> 00:09:52.900
Proclamation of healing must have faith in it too.

00:09:53.300 --> 00:09:54.420
Agree.

00:09:54.420 --> 00:09:56.900
But God is saying, I would suggest,

00:09:56.900 --> 00:09:58.900
and this is my sneaky suspicion,

00:09:58.900 --> 00:10:01.540
that God doesn't think we lack faith,

00:10:01.540 --> 00:10:03.780
but God wants to add to our faith mercy.

00:10:05.900 --> 00:10:08.140
So he doesn't think there's a lack of faith.

00:10:09.420 --> 00:10:12.500
I think this church has been steeped in healing

00:10:12.500 --> 00:10:13.980
and faith for many, many years,

00:10:13.980 --> 00:10:15.320
so I don't think there's a lack of faith.

00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:16.780
There might be doubt that creeps

00:10:16.780 --> 00:10:19.460
and there might be a lack of evidence often

00:10:19.460 --> 00:10:22.620
or waiting a long time before we see things happen.

00:10:23.260 --> 00:10:25.380
And yet, and I remember doing this in church

00:10:25.380 --> 00:10:26.580
two or three years ago,

00:10:27.380 --> 00:10:31.340
there was one service where we asked people in the church

00:10:31.340 --> 00:10:34.820
to stand up if they've had a healing from God.

00:10:34.820 --> 00:10:37.500
And at that time in the church there were about 40 people

00:10:37.500 --> 00:10:40.620
and every one of them stood up and testified

00:10:40.620 --> 00:10:43.400
to at least one incident of healing.

00:10:43.400 --> 00:10:45.860
And if we had continued,

00:10:45.860 --> 00:10:48.860
they could have come up with two or three or four incidents.

00:10:49.860 --> 00:10:54.460
You know, I wanna share this in a boastful way,

00:10:54.460 --> 00:10:57.860
but it's a boast to the Lord.

00:10:57.860 --> 00:11:02.040
When I had to register for this vaccine,

00:11:04.160 --> 00:11:08.260
they said they need my care card number or MSP or whatever.

00:11:10.140 --> 00:11:12.460
I couldn't find it.

00:11:12.460 --> 00:11:15.140
And so I called them up and they couldn't find it.

00:11:15.140 --> 00:11:16.860
One of the reasons they couldn't find it

00:11:16.860 --> 00:11:18.260
is because for the last 32 years

00:11:18.260 --> 00:11:19.220
I haven't used it.

00:11:21.260 --> 00:11:24.180
So they finally asked me to call someone in Victoria

00:11:24.180 --> 00:11:25.520
and I did.

00:11:25.520 --> 00:11:28.300
And they said, give us the address you stayed in.

00:11:28.300 --> 00:11:29.620
And I didn't remember the address.

00:11:29.620 --> 00:11:30.940
The first time I came to Canada.

00:11:30.940 --> 00:11:32.940
Then they gave me the last three numbers

00:11:32.940 --> 00:11:35.580
of the phone number of the place that I stayed in.

00:11:35.580 --> 00:11:37.180
I didn't have an idea.

00:11:37.180 --> 00:11:38.720
And then they got a few other IDs

00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:41.260
and finally they gave me this amazing number.

00:11:41.260 --> 00:11:42.540
I don't have it on my license

00:11:42.540 --> 00:11:43.380
because I didn't have it

00:11:43.380 --> 00:11:45.500
when I went to get my license renewed.

00:11:45.500 --> 00:11:46.540
Why am I sharing this?

00:11:46.620 --> 00:11:48.740
And why did I call it a boastful share?

00:11:48.740 --> 00:11:50.020
Because I boast in the Lord

00:11:50.020 --> 00:11:55.020
that it is possible for him to heal and keep healthy.

00:11:59.860 --> 00:12:04.180
And so I think there's, not I think,

00:12:04.180 --> 00:12:06.680
I'm very sure that there is enough faith

00:12:06.680 --> 00:12:08.820
in this church for healing.

00:12:08.820 --> 00:12:11.900
And now he wants to compliment that faith with mercy

00:12:11.900 --> 00:12:12.980
for people there.

00:12:13.180 --> 00:12:15.060
But it's gonna be his dominant way

00:12:15.060 --> 00:12:17.340
of showing mercy to the land.

00:12:18.340 --> 00:12:19.180
Any questions?

00:12:22.340 --> 00:12:24.460
Set your eye on his mercy.

00:12:24.460 --> 00:12:25.820
Lord, I have heard of your fame.

00:12:25.820 --> 00:12:27.300
This is such a prayer of mine

00:12:27.300 --> 00:12:29.100
because I want it to be so normal

00:12:29.100 --> 00:12:32.620
that every time you come back on a Sunday

00:12:32.620 --> 00:12:34.260
or come back on a Tuesday or Wednesday

00:12:34.260 --> 00:12:36.460
or whenever you guys do HC or hub,

00:12:36.460 --> 00:12:38.100
it'll be like, not today, man.

00:12:38.100 --> 00:12:40.460
We've got too many healing testimonies.

00:12:40.620 --> 00:12:42.660
It's like Moses saying, don't bring any more money.

00:12:45.940 --> 00:12:47.140
I want this to happen for us,

00:12:47.140 --> 00:12:49.700
which is why Habakkuk 3.2 really grabs me

00:12:49.700 --> 00:12:51.740
when it says, Lord, I have heard of your fame.

00:12:51.740 --> 00:12:53.300
Guys, I've heard of his fame.

00:12:53.300 --> 00:12:54.500
The moment I became a believer,

00:12:54.500 --> 00:12:56.500
I started hearing of his fame.

00:12:56.500 --> 00:12:58.980
I began to hear of how he's a healer.

00:12:58.980 --> 00:13:01.540
I'm so fascinated that this God can heal.

00:13:01.540 --> 00:13:02.980
I think I told you the first time,

00:13:02.980 --> 00:13:04.540
I wasn't even in a proper church.

00:13:04.540 --> 00:13:06.260
I was in a very mainline church.

00:13:07.260 --> 00:13:08.980
And I was like, I'm not gonna do this.

00:13:09.140 --> 00:13:10.340
I'm not gonna do this in a church.

00:13:10.340 --> 00:13:11.980
And I'm hearing about this God who heals.

00:13:11.980 --> 00:13:14.860
I'm reading about this God who heals in the gospels.

00:13:14.860 --> 00:13:15.700
And I'm thinking to myself,

00:13:15.700 --> 00:13:17.460
but how can the blind beggar sit outside the church

00:13:17.460 --> 00:13:18.460
if he's healing?

00:13:18.460 --> 00:13:19.860
So I've got to go heal him.

00:13:20.940 --> 00:13:22.380
But I don't know how to heal.

00:13:22.380 --> 00:13:23.220
And it's a Muslim country,

00:13:23.220 --> 00:13:24.460
so I'm throwing coins into his bowl

00:13:24.460 --> 00:13:25.700
and saying, in the name of Jesus Christ,

00:13:25.700 --> 00:13:28.740
see, the guy was super rich, but he stayed blind.

00:13:28.740 --> 00:13:29.900
Because I went multiple times

00:13:29.900 --> 00:13:31.620
to throw money into his bowl and he didn't.

00:13:31.620 --> 00:13:32.500
And that is when I thought,

00:13:32.500 --> 00:13:34.060
I've got to find out how this worked.

00:13:34.060 --> 00:13:36.420
Our God is a God of great fame.

00:13:36.460 --> 00:13:39.060
Problem is, people don't know of his reputation now.

00:13:40.380 --> 00:13:42.500
And yet, if I allowed us to speak right now,

00:13:42.500 --> 00:13:44.740
each of you would stand up and testify.

00:13:44.740 --> 00:13:48.500
Lydia would, Ruth would, Renita would, I would, Nick would.

00:13:48.500 --> 00:13:50.420
There's nobody in this room

00:13:50.420 --> 00:13:52.500
that couldn't stand up and testify saying,

00:13:52.500 --> 00:13:53.980
Jesus has healed me.

00:13:53.980 --> 00:13:55.300
And it was not because of medicine

00:13:55.300 --> 00:13:56.780
since he intervened and he healed me.

00:13:56.780 --> 00:13:58.220
There's nobody in this room.

00:13:59.260 --> 00:14:01.140
He's very famous in this room.

00:14:03.260 --> 00:14:04.260
But it ain't enough.

00:14:06.620 --> 00:14:07.620
I have heard of your fame.

00:14:07.620 --> 00:14:09.580
I stand in awe of your deeds, O Lord.

00:14:09.580 --> 00:14:12.260
Renew them in our day, in our time.

00:14:12.260 --> 00:14:14.020
Make them known.

00:14:14.020 --> 00:14:15.820
Instead of wrath, remember mercy.

00:14:15.820 --> 00:14:17.460
That's an Old Testament statement.

00:14:17.460 --> 00:14:19.180
For us, even that doesn't apply.

00:14:19.180 --> 00:14:20.460
Remember mercy, O God.

00:14:20.460 --> 00:14:21.300
Renew them.

00:14:23.020 --> 00:14:25.340
Make known on earth your awesome mercy

00:14:25.340 --> 00:14:27.100
in the form of divine healings

00:14:27.100 --> 00:14:29.500
and bring it to pass in the land through us.

00:14:29.500 --> 00:14:30.940
And remember, God,

00:14:30.940 --> 00:14:32.620
we are not going to let you down.

00:14:32.620 --> 00:14:33.980
We are going to let you down.

00:14:33.980 --> 00:14:36.180
We are going to let you pass in the land through us.

00:14:37.140 --> 00:14:38.380
Wait, say an amen, no?

00:14:48.260 --> 00:14:50.260
So how is the power and mercy of the king

00:14:50.260 --> 00:14:52.940
going to be unleashed in this present age?

00:14:52.940 --> 00:14:56.260
What is it that Acts 29 has missing

00:14:56.260 --> 00:14:58.180
that prevents us from stepping into it

00:14:58.180 --> 00:14:59.820
the way we really want to?

00:15:00.820 --> 00:15:05.020
One of the ways we release this power and mercy of the king

00:15:05.020 --> 00:15:06.660
into this present age

00:15:06.660 --> 00:15:09.860
is by announcing the things Jesus announces.

00:15:09.860 --> 00:15:11.580
Let me try writing better.

00:15:11.580 --> 00:15:16.580
Announcing the things Jesus announces.

00:15:24.100 --> 00:15:26.100
Announcing the things Jesus announces.

00:15:27.380 --> 00:15:29.300
By announcing the things Jesus announces.

00:15:29.340 --> 00:15:32.340
It's important that I agree with Jesus even with his words.

00:15:32.340 --> 00:15:34.300
Because Jesus was very measured in his words.

00:15:34.300 --> 00:15:35.300
He wouldn't waste words.

00:15:35.300 --> 00:15:36.900
Why not use the words he uses?

00:15:38.340 --> 00:15:40.620
Announcing the things Jesus announces.

00:15:41.980 --> 00:15:44.740
In the gospels, proclamation is synonymous with healing.

00:15:44.740 --> 00:15:49.740
In the gospels, proclamation is synonymous with healing.

00:15:55.780 --> 00:15:57.980
Proclamation is synonymous with healing.

00:16:00.060 --> 00:16:01.820
In the gospels, guys this is important.

00:16:01.820 --> 00:16:04.740
If we have to spend time here, we'll spend time here.

00:16:04.740 --> 00:16:07.420
In the gospels, proclamation is synonymous with healing.

00:16:07.420 --> 00:16:09.620
The leper was healed because Jesus proclaimed,

00:16:09.620 --> 00:16:11.100
I am willing.

00:16:11.100 --> 00:16:14.660
In the gospels, proclamation is synonymous with healing.

00:16:14.660 --> 00:16:16.820
Therefore it is important that I proclaim

00:16:16.820 --> 00:16:18.780
what I believe needs to happen

00:16:18.780 --> 00:16:20.420
because this is the nature of God

00:16:20.420 --> 00:16:22.660
and this is what God is directing me to.

00:16:22.660 --> 00:16:24.620
Proclamation is synonymous with healing.

00:16:24.620 --> 00:16:26.380
So when it comes to the leper,

00:16:27.140 --> 00:16:29.340
the leper was healed because Jesus proclaimed,

00:16:29.340 --> 00:16:30.500
I am willing.

00:16:33.380 --> 00:16:36.620
The lame man walked because Jesus proclaimed, arise.

00:16:38.300 --> 00:16:41.220
When Jesus proclaimed, go, the demons went.

00:16:43.220 --> 00:16:48.220
So it is important to speak the word before you heal

00:16:48.500 --> 00:16:50.620
because especially when you're dealing with others

00:16:50.620 --> 00:16:53.620
in the world, use words, proclaim.

00:16:53.620 --> 00:16:55.740
Proclamation is synonymous with healing.

00:16:55.740 --> 00:16:57.380
Proclamation is synonymous with healing.

00:17:06.500 --> 00:17:08.340
And then you see something else that Jesus does.

00:17:08.340 --> 00:17:10.940
If you go to Matthew 10, seven and eight,

00:17:11.820 --> 00:17:13.340
Matthew 10, seven and eight,

00:17:14.340 --> 00:17:17.580
you'll hear Jesus saying as you go, preach,

00:17:17.580 --> 00:17:21.780
saying this message, the kingdom of heaven is near,

00:17:21.780 --> 00:17:24.060
heal the sick, raise the dead,

00:17:24.060 --> 00:17:26.980
cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons.

00:17:26.980 --> 00:17:28.500
The kingdom of heaven is near.

00:17:29.980 --> 00:17:31.580
This is what Jesus said.

00:17:31.580 --> 00:17:35.020
The kingdom of heaven is near, heal the sick,

00:17:36.340 --> 00:17:39.660
raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy,

00:17:40.660 --> 00:17:41.780
drive out demons.

00:17:41.780 --> 00:17:44.860
Guys, it's odd how later on in the translations

00:17:44.860 --> 00:17:48.940
of the Bible that were written 200, 300 years after,

00:17:48.940 --> 00:17:53.180
that were rewritten, you'll find that the raising of dead

00:17:53.180 --> 00:17:55.580
is no longer found in those scriptures.

00:17:55.580 --> 00:17:58.780
And many think it was because of the church's embarrassment

00:17:58.780 --> 00:18:00.460
and nobody being raised from the dead

00:18:00.460 --> 00:18:03.140
that they kind of left it out in the older versions,

00:18:03.140 --> 00:18:04.940
as in the later versions.

00:18:05.980 --> 00:18:06.820
And I'm saying to you,

00:18:06.820 --> 00:18:08.700
the same thing is beginning to happen now.

00:18:08.700 --> 00:18:11.940
Raising the dead is not even pondered on

00:18:11.940 --> 00:18:13.340
because it's an embarrassment.

00:18:13.340 --> 00:18:16.060
We do not hear of these things anymore.

00:18:16.660 --> 00:18:19.660
Thank God we have a live specimen here in church

00:18:20.540 --> 00:18:22.340
that proves that the dead can be raised only.

00:18:22.340 --> 00:18:25.220
He's not here today, but he's here often.

00:18:26.020 --> 00:18:26.860
Marcus.

00:18:31.020 --> 00:18:32.820
The kingdom of heaven is near, heal the sick,

00:18:32.820 --> 00:18:34.980
raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy,

00:18:34.980 --> 00:18:36.220
drive out demons.

00:18:36.220 --> 00:18:39.300
Jesus' initial proclamation of the kingdom,

00:18:39.300 --> 00:18:41.540
the initial proclamation of the kingdom

00:18:42.820 --> 00:18:44.420
is with respect to the dead.

00:18:45.420 --> 00:18:47.420
Is with words.

00:18:47.420 --> 00:18:52.340
Initial proclamation is with words.

00:18:55.620 --> 00:18:58.620
But it is followed by the proclamation of works.

00:19:04.740 --> 00:19:06.660
Initial proclamation is out of words,

00:19:08.020 --> 00:19:09.580
but it is followed by the proclamation

00:19:09.580 --> 00:19:11.020
of the kingdom by works.

00:19:12.180 --> 00:19:13.220
And what is it proclaiming?

00:19:13.220 --> 00:19:15.180
Look at what Jesus is saying when he's saying,

00:19:15.180 --> 00:19:17.820
heal the sick, raise the dead,

00:19:17.820 --> 00:19:21.540
cleanse the lepers, cast out demons.

00:19:21.540 --> 00:19:22.380
Look at what he's saying.

00:19:22.380 --> 00:19:25.740
He's saying, listen, the kingdom of God,

00:19:25.740 --> 00:19:27.540
as in my rule is here.

00:19:28.820 --> 00:19:30.140
Go preach that.

00:19:30.140 --> 00:19:32.340
So first it is go preach it, Jacob.

00:19:32.340 --> 00:19:37.100
And here is where Christianity, Acts 29, I fail.

00:19:38.140 --> 00:19:42.540
We do not preach the message of God

00:19:43.580 --> 00:19:45.420
that clearly.

00:19:45.420 --> 00:19:48.100
The listen, the rule of God is here.

00:19:48.100 --> 00:19:49.980
Because the moment you say the rule of God is here,

00:19:49.980 --> 00:19:52.020
then there's another thing that has to come into play.

00:19:52.020 --> 00:19:55.620
The rule of God is here, therefore repent and believe.

00:19:55.620 --> 00:19:59.460
These are two things that this church rarely says

00:19:59.460 --> 00:20:01.580
on an individual or corporate basis.

00:20:02.900 --> 00:20:05.860
The rule of God is here, therefore repent and believe.

00:20:05.860 --> 00:20:09.340
When was the last time you used different phraseology

00:20:09.340 --> 00:20:11.100
that is perhaps more acceptable,

00:20:11.100 --> 00:20:15.460
but went for the jugular and said repent and believe?

00:20:16.700 --> 00:20:19.500
This is the message that Jesus asked us to proclaim

00:20:19.500 --> 00:20:21.580
and it is not proclaimed nowadays.

00:20:24.660 --> 00:20:26.700
Repent and believe is not proclaimed.

00:20:29.060 --> 00:20:31.660
I'm going ahead of myself, but it bothers me that

00:20:33.260 --> 00:20:35.940
it's been there all along and even though I kind of know it,

00:20:35.940 --> 00:20:37.260
I've not honed in on it.

00:20:37.260 --> 00:20:39.700
So what is a proclamation of the kingdom?

00:20:39.700 --> 00:20:42.220
Listen, I've come to end the works of Satan,

00:20:42.220 --> 00:20:43.420
cast out demons.

00:20:46.700 --> 00:20:49.780
Listen, I've come to bring recovery to the sick.

00:20:51.900 --> 00:20:52.740
Heal.

00:20:57.140 --> 00:21:00.940
Listen, I've come to put an end to chaos and death.

00:21:06.580 --> 00:21:08.180
Raise.

00:21:08.180 --> 00:21:13.180
Listen, I've come to include or restore people

00:21:16.660 --> 00:21:17.660
to community.

00:21:19.380 --> 00:21:20.300
Cleanse the lepers.

00:21:20.300 --> 00:21:23.260
Leprosy was an excommunicable disease.

00:21:23.260 --> 00:21:25.860
Once you were a leper, you were done.

00:21:25.860 --> 00:21:29.140
And Jesus is saying, this is what my kingdom looks like.

00:21:29.140 --> 00:21:31.900
Go, here's the message of the kingdom.

00:21:31.900 --> 00:21:34.780
Here's the message that I want you to proclaim, Acts 29,

00:21:34.780 --> 00:21:37.700
in present-day Vancouver, in present-day wherever you go.

00:21:38.220 --> 00:21:39.780
Whoever's listening to me, this is the message

00:21:39.780 --> 00:21:44.220
I want you to proclaim, that my rule, my rule,

00:21:44.220 --> 00:21:45.820
Jesus' rule has come.

00:21:45.820 --> 00:21:46.660
It is here.

00:21:46.660 --> 00:21:48.220
It's no longer near, it is here.

00:21:49.940 --> 00:21:52.580
Therefore, I'm telling you to go tell them that

00:21:52.580 --> 00:21:57.260
and then tell them that I'm here to end Satan's rule.

00:21:57.260 --> 00:21:59.740
I'm here to bring recovery to the sick.

00:21:59.740 --> 00:22:04.220
I'm here to restore people back into the community

00:22:04.220 --> 00:22:09.220
and I'm here to end chaos and death.

00:22:09.540 --> 00:22:13.220
Here, I'm here to end chaos and death.

00:22:13.220 --> 00:22:15.340
Tell them this, tell them this.

00:22:15.340 --> 00:22:17.020
He's saying, tell them this.

00:22:19.260 --> 00:22:20.340
And then he's saying,

00:22:28.620 --> 00:22:31.540
if you tell them this, you also have to then follow it

00:22:31.540 --> 00:22:35.420
by saying, repent and believe.

00:22:36.420 --> 00:22:41.420
Look at scriptures, look at Mark 6-12, Mark 6-12.

00:22:48.060 --> 00:22:49.700
This is the disciples doing it.

00:22:50.980 --> 00:22:52.740
Jesus sends them out and then they go out,

00:22:52.740 --> 00:22:55.420
they went out and preach that people should repent.

00:22:55.420 --> 00:22:59.620
Look at Matthew 3-2, this is when John the Baptist,

00:22:59.660 --> 00:23:01.580
who came before Jesus was preaching,

00:23:01.580 --> 00:23:04.540
Matthew 3-2, in those days, John the Baptist came preaching

00:23:04.540 --> 00:23:06.700
in the wilderness of Judea and saying,

00:23:06.700 --> 00:23:08.500
repent for the kingdom of God has come near you.

00:23:08.500 --> 00:23:11.660
Go to Matthew 4-17, you'll see Jesus saying it.

00:23:11.660 --> 00:23:15.900
Matthew 4-17, from that time on, Jesus began to preach,

00:23:15.900 --> 00:23:18.460
repent for the kingdom of heaven has come near.

00:23:18.460 --> 00:23:23.460
Let's go to Acts chapter two, 38-43.

00:23:24.420 --> 00:23:27.140
You'll see the apostles preaching it.

00:23:29.900 --> 00:23:33.460
Peter replied, repent and be baptized every one of you

00:23:33.460 --> 00:23:35.660
in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness

00:23:35.660 --> 00:23:37.060
of your sins and you will receive the gift

00:23:37.060 --> 00:23:38.020
of the Holy Spirit.

00:23:39.540 --> 00:23:42.660
Verse 41, those who accepted this message were baptized

00:23:42.660 --> 00:23:44.620
and about 3,000 were added to their number that day.

00:23:44.620 --> 00:23:47.140
Verse 42, they devoted themselves to apostles

00:23:47.140 --> 00:23:48.780
teaching fellowship, breaking of bread and prayer.

00:23:48.780 --> 00:23:51.660
Verse 43, everyone is filled with all the many wonders

00:23:51.660 --> 00:23:53.420
and signs performed by the apostles.

00:23:53.420 --> 00:23:56.460
There seems to be a pattern and the pattern is, listen,

00:23:56.700 --> 00:24:00.180
tell them the kingdom is here, tell them this is what

00:24:00.180 --> 00:24:04.420
I've come to do, tell them that they need to now repent

00:24:04.420 --> 00:24:08.340
and believe because I am here and if you do this,

00:24:08.340 --> 00:24:10.180
then these things will follow.

00:24:11.420 --> 00:24:14.100
We want the things that follow to happen without us

00:24:14.100 --> 00:24:17.540
announcing what Jesus is asking us to do.

00:24:17.540 --> 00:24:19.900
There is a pattern here that must be followed.

00:24:26.700 --> 00:24:30.180
Yeah, so here's the pattern.

00:24:38.180 --> 00:24:40.020
Here's what Jesus expects us to say.

00:24:41.420 --> 00:24:45.820
My rule is here.

00:24:45.820 --> 00:24:48.340
You can use your own words, that's one.

00:24:49.300 --> 00:24:54.300
Two, I have come to heal, raise,

00:24:57.340 --> 00:25:00.500
cleanse, drive out.

00:25:02.980 --> 00:25:07.980
Three, therefore, do you repent?

00:25:13.020 --> 00:25:13.900
Do you believe?

00:25:20.740 --> 00:25:25.020
And this third part is what we rarely get to.

00:25:25.980 --> 00:25:27.340
Almost never get to.

00:25:31.060 --> 00:25:33.940
When was the last time we even asked someone, do you repent?

00:25:33.940 --> 00:25:38.940
As in, do you turn away comprehensively from your past?

00:25:40.900 --> 00:25:42.260
Do you turn away from it?

00:25:45.740 --> 00:25:48.580
And the believing would always follow repentance.

00:25:48.580 --> 00:25:49.820
And why did Jesus say this?

00:25:49.820 --> 00:25:52.580
Jesus is saying, listen, my rule is in your midst.

00:25:52.580 --> 00:25:55.820
In the face of this new rule that I am bringing

00:25:55.820 --> 00:25:57.900
and willing to introduce into your life,

00:25:57.900 --> 00:25:59.020
repent and believe.

00:26:01.020 --> 00:26:05.060
And if they didn't, he would still do what he had to do,

00:26:05.060 --> 00:26:09.940
but he would never go ahead till he had preached this.

00:26:09.940 --> 00:26:11.540
And the disciples did the same.

00:26:12.620 --> 00:26:13.620
This is the hardest part.

00:26:13.620 --> 00:26:14.660
Therefore, do you repent?

00:26:14.660 --> 00:26:15.620
Do you believe?

00:26:15.620 --> 00:26:18.300
In today's world, asking these two questions

00:26:19.540 --> 00:26:20.940
is very difficult.

00:26:20.940 --> 00:26:24.180
This is really difficult, this is less difficult,

00:26:24.180 --> 00:26:26.540
because everyone is willing to believe something.

00:26:28.980 --> 00:26:31.940
But the repent part, use whatever word.

00:26:31.940 --> 00:26:34.860
Do you wish to have your life converted?

00:26:34.860 --> 00:26:37.180
Do you wish to have your life changed?

00:26:37.180 --> 00:26:39.860
Do you wish to turn from your past?

00:26:39.860 --> 00:26:42.140
Do you wish to walk away from your past?

00:26:42.140 --> 00:26:45.220
Whatever words you wanna use, you can use, but we don't.

00:26:46.460 --> 00:26:47.340
At least I don't.

00:26:51.460 --> 00:26:53.540
Christian faith is always repentant faith

00:26:53.540 --> 00:26:55.060
in terms of coming to the Lord.

00:27:00.540 --> 00:27:03.940
If we say these words, Jesus said,

00:27:03.940 --> 00:27:08.940
then sick will recover,

00:27:10.660 --> 00:27:14.620
dead will rise,

00:27:15.860 --> 00:27:20.860
demons will rise,

00:27:20.940 --> 00:27:22.660
people will flee,

00:27:25.180 --> 00:27:30.180
people will be cleansed and restored.

00:27:31.700 --> 00:27:33.580
Then he goes on to say,

00:27:33.580 --> 00:27:36.740
this will prove that my rule is here.

00:27:39.700 --> 00:27:41.460
When these things happen,

00:27:41.460 --> 00:27:44.420
people will believe that my rule is here.

00:27:46.500 --> 00:27:48.140
So it's a strange way he's saying this.

00:27:48.140 --> 00:27:50.900
He's saying, first go say this.

00:27:51.860 --> 00:27:53.220
When you say this, I will do this.

00:27:53.220 --> 00:27:55.620
When I do this, they will believe what you said.

00:27:58.180 --> 00:27:59.260
Let me say it again.

00:27:59.260 --> 00:28:02.060
Jesus is saying, it's step one, two, three.

00:28:02.060 --> 00:28:05.100
He's not complicated.

00:28:05.100 --> 00:28:08.220
Step one, Jacob, go tell them that my rule is here,

00:28:08.220 --> 00:28:10.900
that I, Jesus Christ, the God of the universe,

00:28:10.900 --> 00:28:13.060
I'm here to forgive your sins

00:28:13.060 --> 00:28:16.180
and to introduce my rule in your life.

00:28:16.180 --> 00:28:19.500
Tell them that I heal, that I raise the dead,

00:28:19.500 --> 00:28:20.780
that I cleanse the lepers,

00:28:20.780 --> 00:28:22.540
that I drive out demons,

00:28:22.540 --> 00:28:24.260
and I do it through you.

00:28:25.420 --> 00:28:26.980
That is now becoming more frightening.

00:28:26.980 --> 00:28:27.860
The first part was easy.

00:28:27.860 --> 00:28:28.900
Jesus' rule is here.

00:28:28.900 --> 00:28:30.020
That's his problem.

00:28:30.020 --> 00:28:32.540
But now it is, I just want to tell you

00:28:32.540 --> 00:28:35.220
that Jesus does this and he does it through me.

00:28:37.060 --> 00:28:38.660
Then the third part is,

00:28:38.660 --> 00:28:41.340
therefore, since Jesus' rule is here,

00:28:41.340 --> 00:28:42.940
would you like to repent, Dilna?

00:28:44.300 --> 00:28:46.700
Get on your knees right away.

00:28:46.700 --> 00:28:48.260
So would you like to repent, Dilna?

00:28:48.300 --> 00:28:50.860
And would you like, do you believe?

00:28:50.860 --> 00:28:52.500
Do you repent and do you believe?

00:28:52.500 --> 00:28:56.100
Or are you willing to change and are you willing to believe?

00:28:56.100 --> 00:28:57.660
Are you willing to be converted

00:28:57.660 --> 00:28:59.300
and are you willing to believe?

00:28:59.300 --> 00:29:03.220
Are you willing to leave your past behind

00:29:03.220 --> 00:29:04.820
and are you willing to believe?

00:29:06.220 --> 00:29:08.580
This is why Peter and the disciples,

00:29:08.580 --> 00:29:10.500
they leave their nets, leave their families,

00:29:10.500 --> 00:29:11.460
leave everything,

00:29:11.460 --> 00:29:13.820
because there's no following without leaving.

00:29:14.820 --> 00:29:18.420
You cannot take with you and say, I'm following.

00:29:18.420 --> 00:29:21.580
You either, you have to leave before you, follow.

00:29:21.580 --> 00:29:23.420
People like holding both.

00:29:23.420 --> 00:29:25.220
This is why in Romans chapter seven,

00:29:25.220 --> 00:29:26.300
Paul puts it this way,

00:29:26.300 --> 00:29:29.260
a man, as long as he's married to a woman, is bound to her.

00:29:29.260 --> 00:29:30.980
But once the wife dies,

00:29:30.980 --> 00:29:33.420
he is now free to be married to another.

00:29:33.420 --> 00:29:36.060
Meaning, you cannot enter into another relationship

00:29:36.060 --> 00:29:38.540
while you're still married.

00:29:40.100 --> 00:29:41.700
You have to leave to follow.

00:29:44.820 --> 00:29:49.820
So Jesus says, this is the message of the kingdom.

00:29:49.820 --> 00:29:51.820
This is the message of the kingdom.

00:29:51.820 --> 00:29:54.420
And if you say these things, Jacob,

00:29:54.420 --> 00:29:57.620
then the fourth step is, I'll do this through you.

00:29:59.020 --> 00:30:01.020
And when I do this through you,

00:30:01.020 --> 00:30:06.020
they will know that my kingdom is actually here,

00:30:06.220 --> 00:30:09.020
because the kingdom must have manifest evidence.

00:30:09.020 --> 00:30:11.420
It cannot be in the sweet buy and buy only.

00:30:11.620 --> 00:30:15.620
Which is why then if you look at Luke chapter 10, verse nine,

00:30:15.620 --> 00:30:19.020
look at how beautifully Jesus says in Luke 10, verse nine,

00:30:19.020 --> 00:30:21.620
Jesus says, heal the sick,

00:30:21.620 --> 00:30:24.220
and then say to them, the kingdom of God has come.

00:30:26.620 --> 00:30:31.020
So there's an after statement also after someone is healed.

00:30:31.020 --> 00:30:34.220
So I go heal Nick, and Nick is healed.

00:30:34.220 --> 00:30:36.220
And I say to Nick after healing,

00:30:36.220 --> 00:30:38.020
hey Nick, I just want you to know

00:30:38.020 --> 00:30:40.020
that Jesus is healing.

00:30:40.020 --> 00:30:43.620
I just want you to know that Jesus Christ's rule

00:30:43.620 --> 00:30:45.220
has just made this happen.

00:30:45.220 --> 00:30:48.620
You can use different phrases, but you've got to say,

00:30:50.020 --> 00:30:51.520
because there was a statement after too,

00:30:51.520 --> 00:30:52.920
that Jesus wants you to make.

00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:54.820
This is the evidence that I am here.

00:30:58.820 --> 00:30:59.620
Any questions?

00:31:00.620 --> 00:31:01.420
Yep.

00:31:10.020 --> 00:31:14.020
That's a strange thing. Jesus would heal people whether they did or did not.

00:31:14.020 --> 00:31:17.420
But what we will find as a church is that

00:31:17.420 --> 00:31:20.620
if we do not announce what Jesus wanted to announce,

00:31:20.620 --> 00:31:24.420
we will not see the results that Jesus wants us to see.

00:31:24.420 --> 00:31:27.620
If we do not announce what Jesus wanted to announce,

00:31:27.620 --> 00:31:31.220
we will not see the results that Jesus wants us to see.

00:31:39.220 --> 00:31:42.020
When it came to unbelievers, always.

00:31:42.020 --> 00:31:45.020
Look at the book of Acts, it was repent and believe.

00:31:47.820 --> 00:31:50.220
No, even if they prayed for healing,

00:31:50.220 --> 00:31:51.720
they would still say repent and believe.

00:31:51.720 --> 00:31:53.820
The problem with Acts 29 is this,

00:31:53.820 --> 00:31:58.820
It is not settled in our minds that I'm hugely responsible for that.

00:31:58.820 --> 00:32:08.820
It is not settled in our minds that the necessity to announce the kingdom is super important.

00:32:08.820 --> 00:32:14.820
What is settled in our hearts is Jesus is the healer and he heals and we should pray for people's healing.

00:32:14.820 --> 00:32:24.820
It is not settled in our minds that the message of the kingdom is not settled in my mind at least.

00:32:24.820 --> 00:32:31.820
I do not go with the active thought that I got to go and tell Diana who is an unbeliever that listen,

00:32:31.820 --> 00:32:38.820
Jesus is here and his rule or whatever way that you will understand is here to help you.

00:32:38.820 --> 00:32:43.820
I just want you to know that he can do these four things for you.

00:32:43.820 --> 00:32:47.820
I'm going to pray for you and you will see it happen.

00:32:47.820 --> 00:32:53.820
Do you want to repent? Do you want to believe? Do you want to repent of your ways? Do you want to believe?

00:32:53.820 --> 00:32:58.820
You may say no, I'll still pray for you and then you will suddenly see these things happening and I'll ask you again,

00:32:58.820 --> 00:33:01.820
do you want to repent? Do you want to believe?

00:33:01.820 --> 00:33:04.820
It's not that this pattern must be stuck one, two, three, four.

00:33:04.820 --> 00:33:07.820
I can ask you before and I can pray for you before.

00:33:07.820 --> 00:33:12.820
The thing is we as a people are scared to ask the question, do you repent and do you believe?

00:33:12.820 --> 00:33:16.820
We want to present to everybody Jesus as a wonderful friend,

00:33:16.820 --> 00:33:20.820
but we do not expect these two questions, repent and believe.

00:33:20.820 --> 00:33:26.820
And the strange thing is people can walk away with healing and die.

00:33:26.820 --> 00:33:29.820
It's our Protestant version of purgatory.

00:33:29.820 --> 00:33:36.820
Listen, Jesus is your friend, go healed, but when you die, you'll die in hell anyways.

00:33:36.820 --> 00:33:41.820
So we've got to begin to understand that we have a problem in this area.

00:33:49.820 --> 00:33:53.820
You could ask Diana this question if she was an unbeliever and she says no,

00:33:53.820 --> 00:34:00.820
and you still pray for her and she gets healed or she rises up from the dead or demons get cast out of her

00:34:00.820 --> 00:34:04.820
or she's restored into the community of believers.

00:34:04.820 --> 00:34:09.820
And then you go back to this and say, hey, do you want to give away your old way of life

00:34:09.820 --> 00:34:11.820
and do you want to believe in Jesus Christ?

00:34:11.820 --> 00:34:16.820
Sometimes some Diana's will do this before, some Diana's will do this after.

00:34:16.820 --> 00:34:22.820
But what will happen is we now are announcing what Jesus asked us to announce,

00:34:22.820 --> 00:34:25.820
and I'm saying that we don't.

00:34:25.820 --> 00:34:30.820
Whether the Diana's say yes before or after is the Diana's problem,

00:34:30.820 --> 00:34:35.820
and Jesus, remember we're taking mercy to the people.

00:34:35.820 --> 00:34:42.820
But this is an announcement we have to make.

00:34:45.820 --> 00:34:50.820
Even though we've talked about the kingdom before,

00:34:50.820 --> 00:34:54.820
we don't realize that this was Jesus' critical message,

00:34:54.820 --> 00:34:59.820
that listen guys, I'm here, my rule is here, and I want you to announce my rule.

00:34:59.820 --> 00:35:03.820
I want people to enter the kingdom. I don't want people to enter the church.

00:35:03.820 --> 00:35:07.820
The church is the place where kingdom truths are trained.

00:35:07.820 --> 00:35:10.820
I want people to enter the kingdom. I used to have a kingdom before.

00:35:10.820 --> 00:35:14.820
I made Adam the vice regent of that kingdom.

00:35:14.820 --> 00:35:19.820
An enemy king came in. He took my Adam's authority.

00:35:19.820 --> 00:35:22.820
Since then he's distorted everything.

00:35:22.820 --> 00:35:26.820
The kingdom that I once had, Adam sold to the enemy king.

00:35:26.820 --> 00:35:31.820
I sent my son. He won back the thing.

00:35:31.820 --> 00:35:36.820
I was offered on a mountain the choice of bowing before the devil,

00:35:36.820 --> 00:35:38.820
and if I did he would give me back the kingdom.

00:35:38.820 --> 00:35:40.820
That's not the way I want it back.

00:35:40.820 --> 00:35:43.820
I want it back with flesh and blood and dying on a cross.

00:35:43.820 --> 00:35:46.820
Now that I've had it restored and I've given it to you,

00:35:46.820 --> 00:35:49.820
you go and tell them that the kingdom is back.

00:35:49.820 --> 00:35:53.820
That I've always been a king from everlasting to everlasting.

00:35:53.820 --> 00:35:56.820
I've had a kingdom from everlasting to everlasting.

00:35:56.820 --> 00:35:59.820
I started with a kingdom. I'm going to end with a kingdom.

00:36:06.820 --> 00:36:08.820
We'll explore this over the next few weeks.

00:36:08.820 --> 00:36:13.820
I'm kind of getting like salivating over it.

00:36:13.820 --> 00:36:16.820
Because there's so much there we can...

00:36:16.820 --> 00:36:20.820
Sometimes if we get it, it'll change the way we walk.

00:36:20.820 --> 00:36:22.820
Like your actual gait will change.

00:36:30.820 --> 00:36:33.820
Jesus spoke about this 40 days after he rose again.

00:36:33.820 --> 00:36:35.820
He spent 40 days speaking about the kingdom.

00:36:35.820 --> 00:36:40.820
Paul spoke about it the last two years of his life in Jerusalem.

00:36:42.820 --> 00:36:43.820
That's all he spoke about.

00:36:43.820 --> 00:36:45.820
Read Acts chapter 28, the last two verses.

00:36:45.820 --> 00:36:47.820
This is what he spoke about.

00:36:48.820 --> 00:36:50.820
And this is what we announce.

00:36:58.820 --> 00:37:01.820
So the first proclamation or announcement is,

00:37:01.820 --> 00:37:02.820
the reign of God is here.

00:37:02.820 --> 00:37:05.820
It requires a response of repentance and faith.

00:37:05.820 --> 00:37:09.820
Betty brought two friends for prayer,

00:37:09.820 --> 00:37:12.820
her husband and her wife, to Pilgrim.

00:37:12.820 --> 00:37:13.820
I remember praying for them.

00:37:13.820 --> 00:37:14.820
I remember praying for them.

00:37:14.820 --> 00:37:17.820
The husband's hand was hardly moving.

00:37:17.820 --> 00:37:19.820
I prayed for him, prayed for his wife,

00:37:19.820 --> 00:37:21.820
but not once during that prayer,

00:37:21.820 --> 00:37:23.820
even though I said I'll be praying in the name of Jesus

00:37:23.820 --> 00:37:24.820
and all that stuff.

00:37:24.820 --> 00:37:27.820
Never during the prayer did I even remotely bring up,

00:37:27.820 --> 00:37:28.820
do you want to believe in Jesus?

00:37:28.820 --> 00:37:30.820
Do you want to repent of your sins?

00:37:30.820 --> 00:37:32.820
Because in my mind it was, you have come for prayer.

00:37:32.820 --> 00:37:33.820
I've got to be nice to you.

00:37:33.820 --> 00:37:35.820
I've got to present Jesus as a healer.

00:37:35.820 --> 00:37:38.820
And perhaps one day you will think about it.

00:37:38.820 --> 00:37:40.820
But that was not the way Jesus or the apostles

00:37:40.820 --> 00:37:42.820
or the disciples in the Gospels or the book of Acts

00:37:42.820 --> 00:37:43.820
went about it.

00:37:43.820 --> 00:37:45.820
It is the way that I go about it.

00:37:45.820 --> 00:37:46.820
And it must stop.

00:37:46.820 --> 00:37:47.820
It's become a habit.

00:37:47.820 --> 00:37:48.820
It's become a culture.

00:38:04.820 --> 00:38:07.820
There is an opposing king who's getting away with murder.

00:38:07.820 --> 00:38:11.820
He can say anything he wants, and he makes it normal.

00:38:11.820 --> 00:38:13.820
He makes evil good and good evil.

00:38:13.820 --> 00:38:16.820
He's going about it without any shame.

00:38:28.820 --> 00:38:29.820
What is the first proclamation?

00:38:29.820 --> 00:38:30.820
The reign of God is here.

00:38:30.820 --> 00:38:32.820
It requires response of repentance of faith.

00:38:32.820 --> 00:38:36.820
Faced with God's presence or in breaking rule now,

00:38:36.820 --> 00:38:37.820
do you repent of your past?

00:38:37.820 --> 00:38:40.820
Do you believe that Christ has come to set things right?

00:38:40.820 --> 00:38:42.820
These are questions that are seldom asked anymore.

00:38:45.820 --> 00:38:48.820
Jesus expects us to make the same announcement.

00:38:48.820 --> 00:38:50.820
You know, in the New Testament, the thing was

00:38:50.820 --> 00:38:55.820
given Jesus' wide reputation for supernatural acts,

00:38:55.820 --> 00:38:58.820
people would have expected his representatives to do likewise.

00:38:58.820 --> 00:39:03.820
So in Matthew 17, Jesus is up on Mount of Transfiguration

00:39:03.820 --> 00:39:05.820
with Peter, James, and John.

00:39:05.820 --> 00:39:08.820
And some of his disciples are down there.

00:39:08.820 --> 00:39:09.820
And a man brings his son.

00:39:09.820 --> 00:39:11.820
And he says to the disciples, heal him.

00:39:11.820 --> 00:39:12.820
Why?

00:39:12.820 --> 00:39:14.820
Because there was an expectation that if your Jesus,

00:39:14.820 --> 00:39:18.820
your rabbi, your master has indulged in so many supernatural acts,

00:39:18.820 --> 00:39:21.820
surely you as his representatives would do the same.

00:39:21.820 --> 00:39:23.820
And they bring the boy to the disciples.

00:39:23.820 --> 00:39:24.820
They cannot heal him.

00:39:24.820 --> 00:39:27.820
And they say when Jesus comes down the mountain,

00:39:27.820 --> 00:39:29.820
we brought them to your disciples,

00:39:29.820 --> 00:39:30.820
and they couldn't do anything.

00:39:30.820 --> 00:39:32.820
It was like we are surprised they couldn't

00:39:32.820 --> 00:39:34.820
because they are your disciples.

00:39:34.820 --> 00:39:36.820
That is no longer the expectation.

00:39:36.820 --> 00:39:38.820
Neither do people expect Jesus to heal,

00:39:38.820 --> 00:39:41.820
and they definitely don't expect Jesus' representatives to heal.

00:39:41.820 --> 00:39:45.820
And Jesus' representatives have come up with theory after theory

00:39:45.820 --> 00:39:48.820
and theology after theology to certify that healing

00:39:48.820 --> 00:39:50.820
is no longer available through Jesus.

00:39:54.820 --> 00:39:56.820
Now, open spaces.

00:40:06.820 --> 00:40:11.820
Yesterday, Mark, it was funny.

00:40:11.820 --> 00:40:13.820
I was in a conversation where there was a person,

00:40:13.820 --> 00:40:17.820
Mark and me, and Mark kept saying,

00:40:17.820 --> 00:40:21.820
yeah, and when God takes us somewhere and we trust him,

00:40:21.820 --> 00:40:25.820
God blesses us spiritually, but he also blesses us financially.

00:40:25.820 --> 00:40:29.820
And the guy is saying, yes, he does bless us spiritually,

00:40:29.820 --> 00:40:32.820
but not financially.

00:40:32.820 --> 00:40:33.820
He blesses us spiritually.

00:40:33.820 --> 00:40:36.820
Mark keeps insisting, no, but he blesses us spiritually,

00:40:36.820 --> 00:40:37.820
and he blesses us financially.

00:40:37.820 --> 00:40:39.820
And the person is trying to introduce to Mark

00:40:39.820 --> 00:40:42.820
a new way of thinking, and Mark is so dull to it

00:40:42.820 --> 00:40:45.820
that he insists that God blesses both spiritually and financially.

00:40:45.820 --> 00:40:47.820
And I'm moving away and looking out of the window

00:40:47.820 --> 00:40:51.820
and sprinkling salt on my benny

00:40:51.820 --> 00:40:55.820
because I'm thinking to myself, good luck with Mark.

00:40:55.820 --> 00:40:58.820
Because we are always trying to take these things

00:40:58.820 --> 00:41:01.820
and we are always trying to take them and we are always trying

00:41:01.820 --> 00:41:04.820
to take the edge of Jesus so that if Jesus fails,

00:41:04.820 --> 00:41:15.820
we won't be disappointed.

00:41:15.820 --> 00:41:18.820
Who's the best person to help you with disappointment?

00:41:18.820 --> 00:41:30.820
Jesus.

00:41:30.820 --> 00:41:34.820
Yep.

00:41:34.820 --> 00:41:37.820
Hey, can you turn the fans off?

00:41:37.820 --> 00:41:41.820
Just the fan.

00:41:41.820 --> 00:41:54.820
Yeah, go ahead.

00:41:54.820 --> 00:41:57.820
I just wanted to share about a group of people

00:41:57.820 --> 00:42:01.820
who I called Impact Nations, and I went on my only mission ship ever.

00:42:01.820 --> 00:42:04.820
And the guy came to this church and he said,

00:42:04.820 --> 00:42:08.820
if you come with us, you get to do this stuff.

00:42:08.820 --> 00:42:10.820
I guarantee you that if you come with us,

00:42:10.820 --> 00:42:13.820
you will pray for people and people will be healed.

00:42:13.820 --> 00:42:19.820
And 50 people from around the world came to Nicaragua with me in 2013.

00:42:19.820 --> 00:42:22.820
And yeah, we went to the prisons, we fed the people,

00:42:22.820 --> 00:42:24.820
he preached the gospel, and people were healed.

00:42:24.820 --> 00:42:25.820
Like, I was surprised.

00:42:25.820 --> 00:42:26.820
I didn't feel anything.

00:42:26.820 --> 00:42:28.820
People would come up to me and ask for prayer,

00:42:28.820 --> 00:42:30.820
and they would walk away and they would be healed.

00:42:30.820 --> 00:42:34.820
And it was like the prisoners had more faith than I did.

00:42:34.820 --> 00:42:35.820
It was like, yeah, that's good.

00:42:35.820 --> 00:42:36.820
I was like, really?

00:42:36.820 --> 00:42:41.820
Anyway, the thing about this place was just that it was such a...

00:42:41.820 --> 00:42:46.820
He was all about the justice, the Isaiah 58 thing.

00:42:46.820 --> 00:42:48.820
Let these things happen.

00:42:48.820 --> 00:42:51.820
Let's do the justice, all that kind of stuff.

00:42:51.820 --> 00:42:53.820
And he was feeding the poor, doing all those things.

00:42:53.820 --> 00:42:56.820
And they're still doing it.

00:42:56.820 --> 00:43:00.820
And it's like, I don't know, you get to do the stuff,

00:43:00.820 --> 00:43:03.820
and it's just healing left and right.

00:43:03.820 --> 00:43:08.820
And my friends, I didn't know this didn't happen to me,

00:43:08.820 --> 00:43:10.820
but she prayed for somebody, and then the eye,

00:43:10.820 --> 00:43:14.820
it was white, and it came back in her sight.

00:43:14.820 --> 00:43:17.820
Yeah, I'm getting tired of talking.

00:43:17.820 --> 00:43:20.820
I want to see these things happen.

00:43:21.820 --> 00:43:25.820
How much more can you teach about healing?

00:43:25.820 --> 00:43:28.820
Hey, that chair is supposed to be the pastor's chair.

00:43:28.820 --> 00:43:31.820
I don't know how it landed up there, Manoj.

00:43:31.820 --> 00:43:33.820
I've been looking for something to sit on.

00:43:33.820 --> 00:43:36.820
I was thinking to myself, there was a chair here,

00:43:36.820 --> 00:43:37.820
and then it disappeared.

00:43:37.820 --> 00:43:40.820
But I shall sacrifice for the sake of the greater good.

00:43:40.820 --> 00:43:44.820
Who turned the fans off?

00:43:44.820 --> 00:43:49.820
Manoj, turn the fans on, man.

00:43:49.820 --> 00:43:52.820
Thanks.

00:43:52.820 --> 00:44:00.820
So, yeah, we must see this, man.

00:44:03.820 --> 00:44:08.820
Harass God, guys. Harass God.

00:44:08.820 --> 00:44:13.820
Harass them so that wherever there's lack in our ways of doing things,

00:44:13.820 --> 00:44:16.820
you say, oh my God, it's those guys again.

00:44:16.820 --> 00:44:18.820
Tell them what they need so that we get it right.

00:44:18.820 --> 00:44:22.820
Harass us. Harass God, till he says, okay.

00:44:22.820 --> 00:44:24.820
Here.

00:44:33.820 --> 00:44:37.820
If we go down this route, guys, the Holy Spirit will begin to disclose his gifts,

00:44:37.820 --> 00:44:41.820
healings, miracles, word of knowledge, prophecy, faith,

00:44:41.820 --> 00:44:43.820
and we will end up doing the works of Jesus,

00:44:43.820 --> 00:44:46.820
and we will end up doing greater works than Jesus.

00:44:46.820 --> 00:44:50.820
I know these words sound so hollow, but just look at your own lives.

00:44:50.820 --> 00:44:52.820
When you look at your own lives, you realize this is possible.

00:44:52.820 --> 00:44:56.820
You haven't had much success with other lives, perhaps,

00:44:56.820 --> 00:44:58.820
but it's just around the corner.

00:44:58.820 --> 00:45:01.820
Mark, just come up and share that story.

00:45:11.820 --> 00:45:13.820
Hello, everyone.

00:45:13.820 --> 00:45:15.820
Is this mic on?

00:45:17.820 --> 00:45:19.820
Looks like it's on.

00:45:19.820 --> 00:45:23.820
Soren, as we moved to Lake Country, we made friends with our neighbor,

00:45:23.820 --> 00:45:25.820
and I chatted with him.

00:45:25.820 --> 00:45:27.820
Can you hear him, guys?

00:45:27.820 --> 00:45:29.820
Can you hear me? Okay.

00:45:29.820 --> 00:45:31.820
So I chat with our neighbor quite often,

00:45:31.820 --> 00:45:38.820
and so we sit and chat for most days, for a while,

00:45:38.820 --> 00:45:43.820
and about a month ago, then, he had to have a test done,

00:45:43.820 --> 00:45:51.820
and that test came back saying that some of the cells that came back were cancerous,

00:45:51.820 --> 00:45:58.820
and him being wise in the medical field and Rhonda also being wise in the medical field,

00:45:58.820 --> 00:46:05.820
he said he understands how bad this is, and my response was,

00:46:05.820 --> 00:46:09.820
well, I had been listening to what Jacob was preaching and saying,

00:46:09.820 --> 00:46:12.820
I will say the name, and I said, you know what?

00:46:12.820 --> 00:46:18.820
Well, I follow this God that does really amazing things,

00:46:18.820 --> 00:46:21.820
and I've seen Jesus do stuff like this all the time,

00:46:21.820 --> 00:46:25.820
and he deals with this stuff, and this isn't intended,

00:46:25.820 --> 00:46:29.820
and so I prayed for him and prayed in the name of Jesus

00:46:29.820 --> 00:46:36.820
that it would be similar to what Philip had,

00:46:36.820 --> 00:46:40.820
that he was walking down a road on this place,

00:46:40.820 --> 00:46:42.820
and then all of a sudden he was at this place,

00:46:42.820 --> 00:46:46.820
and that the cancer that was, he was going down this road of cancer,

00:46:46.820 --> 00:46:50.820
and then suddenly he'd be over here and there would be no cancer.

00:46:50.820 --> 00:46:56.820
So I prayed that and went inside because the kid said it's suppertime and all that sort of stuff,

00:46:56.820 --> 00:47:00.820
and he went inside and that was it.

00:47:00.820 --> 00:47:06.820
And then I got a text from him yesterday saying that all the biopsies came back negative,

00:47:06.820 --> 00:47:09.820
everything seems to be that he's clear of cancer,

00:47:09.820 --> 00:47:15.820
and that he also acknowledged those prayers seemed to do the trick,

00:47:15.820 --> 00:47:19.820
that he acknowledged that that was something that happened.

00:47:19.820 --> 00:47:22.820
I know Rhonda prayed for him and I prayed for him.

00:47:22.820 --> 00:47:25.820
Rhonda had also given him a ride in for a couple of these tests that he had to do.

00:47:25.820 --> 00:47:32.820
So it is real that God is doing this stuff,

00:47:32.820 --> 00:47:37.820
like he's wanting to do these things, that he's looking for people.

00:47:37.820 --> 00:47:40.820
He still calls out saying, whom shall I send?

00:47:40.820 --> 00:47:47.820
So now we add that extra layer to it, do you believe, do you repent?

00:47:47.820 --> 00:47:52.820
And in his own phrase, not in a way that will cut off the neighbor forever,

00:47:52.820 --> 00:47:58.820
but in a way that it's an invitation, it's not a demand.

00:47:58.820 --> 00:48:04.820
Now that you know that Jesus is here and his rule has done this for you,

00:48:04.820 --> 00:48:09.820
would you like me to help you with letting go of your past life,

00:48:09.820 --> 00:48:11.820
regardless of how difficult it is,

00:48:11.820 --> 00:48:17.820
and would you like me to help you figure out this Jesus like I have over the last many years?

00:48:17.820 --> 00:48:21.820
This is what do you repent, do you believe sounds like.

00:48:21.820 --> 00:48:30.820
Because the word repent is such a dynamite word that you use that word, you can lose friends.

00:48:30.820 --> 00:48:40.820
Because the only time the word repent is used is by fiery looking Bible thumpers.

00:48:40.820 --> 00:48:46.820
And it's made a parody of, so use different words but do not avoid it.

00:48:46.820 --> 00:48:51.820
Guys, clumsiness never drives people away.

00:48:51.820 --> 00:48:55.820
When you think you are smart, they really think you are clumsy anyways.

00:48:55.820 --> 00:48:58.820
So clumsiness is not what drives people away.

00:48:58.820 --> 00:49:03.820
Your inability to present something articulately has never driven people away.

00:49:03.820 --> 00:49:06.820
Only business deals fall through when you can't.

00:49:06.820 --> 00:49:16.820
But these kind of real things are always presented clumsily and inarticulately.

00:49:16.820 --> 00:49:19.820
Because it's the sheer work of the Spirit of God.

00:49:19.820 --> 00:49:21.820
Remember that he is the one who wooed you.

00:49:21.820 --> 00:49:27.820
How many here were actually convinced because of some great articulate message?

00:49:27.820 --> 00:49:31.820
Mine was very simple, child of darkness, if you do not repent,

00:49:31.820 --> 00:49:34.820
you will not get the scraps that follow the table.

00:49:34.820 --> 00:49:38.820
I repented. That's how I came to the Lord.

00:49:38.820 --> 00:49:43.820
All the other nice speeches about the Lord really loves you didn't work with me.

00:49:43.820 --> 00:49:47.820
There's one guy called Paul Daniel chasing me around the campus saying,

00:49:47.820 --> 00:49:52.820
child of darkness, repent, otherwise you won't get the scraps on the table.

00:49:52.820 --> 00:49:56.820
And I'm cursing him. But inside me my heart is going thump, thump, thump, thump, thump,

00:49:56.820 --> 00:49:58.820
because I know he's right.

00:49:58.820 --> 00:50:01.820
You never know what works with people, guys.

00:50:05.820 --> 00:50:08.820
Don't try it on people unless you're very sure you want to lose them, eh?

00:50:08.820 --> 00:50:10.820
Because that guy couldn't care less.

00:50:15.820 --> 00:50:17.820
I've done so much harm to him.

00:50:21.820 --> 00:50:25.820
I once soaked a naan in sambar and curry and threw it at him.

00:50:30.820 --> 00:50:32.820
But he would still come back.

00:50:32.820 --> 00:50:36.820
Didn't matter. I mean, this guy, he was an economics professor.

00:50:36.820 --> 00:50:40.820
People would throw things at him, but he would not back off.

00:50:40.820 --> 00:50:42.820
He would continuously keep coming after you.

00:50:42.820 --> 00:50:46.820
And the number of people that he saved on campus was nuts.

00:50:46.820 --> 00:50:48.820
Salvation Army guy.

00:50:56.820 --> 00:50:58.820
Let me conclude.

00:50:59.820 --> 00:51:03.820
Faith or persuasion must precede proclamation.

00:51:03.820 --> 00:51:07.820
So you need to have faith like the question Betty asked.

00:51:07.820 --> 00:51:13.820
Guys, faith in this situation is actually entering into what God is doing.

00:51:13.820 --> 00:51:19.820
The name Emmanuel, God with us, really helps sometimes when you're feeling afraid.

00:51:19.820 --> 00:51:24.820
Faith in this situation where you're telling someone that, oh shucks, that got wiped away.

00:51:24.820 --> 00:51:28.820
Faith in this situation when you're telling someone, hey, the rule of God is here.

00:51:28.820 --> 00:51:33.820
He wants to cleanse, heal, raise the dead, and cast out demons.

00:51:33.820 --> 00:51:35.820
He wants to do it through me.

00:51:37.820 --> 00:51:39.820
What bold statements.

00:51:39.820 --> 00:51:44.820
You make a statement like that, that faith is easy to enter into if you think along the lines of,

00:51:44.820 --> 00:51:47.820
I'm entering into what God really wants to do.

00:51:48.820 --> 00:51:52.820
There's nothing you can do to make any of these four things happen, guys.

00:51:52.820 --> 00:51:54.820
Nothing.

00:51:54.820 --> 00:51:57.820
There's nothing you can do to make any of these things happen.

00:51:57.820 --> 00:52:00.820
Even your smart prayer won't help.

00:52:02.820 --> 00:52:04.820
Nothing you can do.

00:52:04.820 --> 00:52:16.820
But to say this, and say this as many times as you can so that you are so foolish now that you've got no reputation left.

00:52:22.820 --> 00:52:29.820
But faith is required.

00:52:29.820 --> 00:52:35.820
And it's these times when I think of Emmanuel and I think of him fondly because Emmanuel is God with us.

00:52:35.820 --> 00:52:39.820
Faith is entering into what God wants to do with me.

00:52:39.820 --> 00:52:41.820
What God wants to do with me.

00:52:41.820 --> 00:52:48.820
And so my expectations of King Jesus affects the largeness of his reign.

00:52:48.820 --> 00:52:50.820
My expectations.

00:52:50.820 --> 00:52:53.820
Let me try writing bold.

00:52:55.820 --> 00:52:56.820
Cap caps.

00:52:56.820 --> 00:52:58.820
My expectations.

00:52:58.820 --> 00:53:00.820
Huh, looking slightly better.

00:53:00.820 --> 00:53:06.820
My expectations of King Jesus.

00:53:06.820 --> 00:53:08.820
Nice.

00:53:08.820 --> 00:53:16.820
My expectations of King Jesus affects the largeness.

00:53:17.820 --> 00:53:18.820
This is fun.

00:53:18.820 --> 00:53:20.820
This is looking much better.

00:53:20.820 --> 00:53:30.820
Affects the largeness of his reign through me.

00:53:35.820 --> 00:53:37.820
So increase in your expectations.

00:53:38.820 --> 00:53:40.820
Increase in your expectations.

00:53:40.820 --> 00:53:42.820
Do not be discouraged, guys.

00:53:42.820 --> 00:53:53.820
Remember that much of the resistance is coming not from your failure or inadequacy because you're a failure and inadequacy anyways when it comes to these four things of healing, sickness, raising the dead.

00:53:53.820 --> 00:53:55.820
You're absolutely inadequate for it.

00:53:55.820 --> 00:53:57.820
There's nothing you have that makes it happen.

00:53:57.820 --> 00:54:01.820
So do not be discouraged by your inadequacy or failure.

00:54:01.820 --> 00:54:04.820
Remember there's a, there are so many things at work.

00:54:04.820 --> 00:54:16.820
There is an entire kingdom that has brought these things about death, chaos, sickness, excommunication, all those things that I mentioned.

00:54:16.820 --> 00:54:19.820
There's a kingdom that opposes you.

00:54:19.820 --> 00:54:25.820
But there is a God who is bigger that can handle the entire kingdom in the end with a blast of his nostrils.

00:54:25.820 --> 00:54:27.820
That's how this war ends.

00:54:27.820 --> 00:54:32.820
It's a very, it's not a movie that ends in a, it's so anticlimactic.

00:54:32.820 --> 00:54:40.820
And so after all this happens, you think the hero's going to beat the guy up and he just breathes a little harder than usual and goes, and the entire thing is over.

00:54:40.820 --> 00:54:42.820
That's how it ends.

00:54:42.820 --> 00:54:46.820
And God breathed through his nostrils and the devil was done.

00:54:49.820 --> 00:54:51.820
That is how simple this is.

00:54:51.820 --> 00:54:58.820
So go as failures, as inadequate, foolish people, and just keep repeating your foolishness.

00:54:58.820 --> 00:54:59.820
Keep repeating your foolishness.

00:54:59.820 --> 00:55:01.820
Always remember this equation, guys.

00:55:01.820 --> 00:55:04.820
Some of you know it by heart, some of you don't.

00:55:04.820 --> 00:55:16.820
And that is foolishness provokes the Holy Spirit.

00:55:21.820 --> 00:55:28.820
There's no inflow of the Spirit.

00:55:29.820 --> 00:55:33.820
Without outflow of his power.

00:55:36.820 --> 00:55:45.820
Outflow requires foolishness.

00:55:49.820 --> 00:55:54.820
So please, railroad, open spaces to be foolish.

00:55:54.820 --> 00:55:57.820
Again and again and again and again.

00:55:58.820 --> 00:56:05.820
Foolishness provokes the Holy Spirit.

00:56:05.820 --> 00:56:08.820
There's no inflow without outflow.

00:56:08.820 --> 00:56:13.820
As in, if you want the Holy Spirit to flow into you, you have to let him flow out of you.

00:56:13.820 --> 00:56:16.820
As in, you have to do something.

00:56:16.820 --> 00:56:18.820
Outflow requires foolishness.

00:56:18.820 --> 00:56:23.820
Sorry?

00:56:23.820 --> 00:56:26.820
Foolishness provokes the Holy Spirit.

00:56:26.820 --> 00:56:33.820
As in, every time you're foolish for the sake of obeying what Jesus has said,

00:56:33.820 --> 00:56:38.820
the Holy Spirit says, oops, now I've got to go into action.

00:56:38.820 --> 00:56:41.820
You just provoked me to do something.

00:56:49.820 --> 00:56:52.820
So don't go by what you feel or what you wish.

00:56:52.820 --> 00:56:57.820
Don't go by, begin to proclaim these things.

00:56:57.820 --> 00:57:03.820
Remember, initial proclamation is words, but it's followed by works.

00:57:03.820 --> 00:57:05.820
Look at what Jesus' intent is.

00:57:05.820 --> 00:57:11.820
End the works of Satan, recover the sick, end chaos and death, restore people to community.

00:57:11.820 --> 00:57:12.820
Never forget this.

00:57:12.820 --> 00:57:14.820
This is the main thing though.

00:57:14.820 --> 00:57:18.820
Hey guys, go and say this message.

00:57:18.820 --> 00:57:26.820
Go and say and speak and pronounce and announce and proclaim this message that I, Jesus, am here.

00:57:26.820 --> 00:57:30.820
Came 2,000 years ago, but I am here now for you.

00:57:30.820 --> 00:57:36.820
I come to cleanse, I come to heal, I come to raise the dead, I come to cast out demons,

00:57:36.820 --> 00:57:40.820
and I'm going to do it through Jacob or Sam or Wayne.

00:57:40.820 --> 00:57:43.820
I'm going to do it through these guys.

00:57:43.820 --> 00:57:46.820
Would you like to believe that I can do this?

00:57:46.820 --> 00:57:50.820
Would you like to turn away from your old ways so that you can begin a new life with me?

00:57:50.820 --> 00:57:51.820
Yes, no.

00:57:51.820 --> 00:57:52.820
Great.

00:57:52.820 --> 00:57:53.820
Let's pray.

00:57:53.820 --> 00:57:56.820
Sick recover, dead will rise, demons flee, people will be restored.

00:57:56.820 --> 00:57:57.820
Do you believe?

00:57:57.820 --> 00:57:59.820
Do you repent?

00:57:59.820 --> 00:58:01.820
That's how it works.

00:58:01.820 --> 00:58:03.820
Any questions?

00:58:03.820 --> 00:58:09.820
You know this guy called Keith Abraham who is no longer in town.

00:58:09.820 --> 00:58:12.820
He once, and I know I've said this so many times,

00:58:12.820 --> 00:58:16.820
he said, dig up the wells of healings that are present in this church.

00:58:16.820 --> 00:58:18.820
Dig up the wells of healings.

00:58:18.820 --> 00:58:19.820
I've always repeated it.

00:58:19.820 --> 00:58:20.820
I want to see it.

00:58:20.820 --> 00:58:23.820
Dig up wells of healings present in your midst.

00:58:23.820 --> 00:58:26.820
Dig up wells of healings present in your midst.

00:58:26.820 --> 00:58:28.820
He didn't even know me.

00:58:28.820 --> 00:58:30.820
Someone else from this church went and met him.

00:58:30.820 --> 00:58:34.820
He didn't know Acts 29.

00:58:34.820 --> 00:58:37.820
We'll have communion now, but any questions, guys?

00:58:43.820 --> 00:58:44.820
No questions.

00:58:44.820 --> 00:58:45.820
Okay.

00:58:48.820 --> 00:58:51.820
Let's go to Matthew 10, 7, 8 and just read that.

00:58:51.820 --> 00:58:54.820
Matthew 10, 7, 8.

00:59:04.820 --> 00:59:09.820
I have a question about this.

00:59:09.820 --> 00:59:10.820
Yeah.

00:59:10.820 --> 00:59:15.820
When we're playing over unbelievers as well, is it?

00:59:15.820 --> 00:59:20.820
With believers, we don't need to take them through repentance and believing

00:59:20.820 --> 00:59:21.820
because they already do.

00:59:21.820 --> 00:59:26.820
So with believers, it'll be anoint with oil and pray or call the elders and pray

00:59:26.820 --> 00:59:31.820
or lay hands and pray, go about it that way.

00:59:31.820 --> 00:59:32.820
Yeah.

00:59:32.820 --> 00:59:35.820
Remember our initial statement.

00:59:35.820 --> 00:59:43.820
Our initial statement was the Lord wants us, the Lord wants to give us room in the land

00:59:43.820 --> 00:59:46.820
by pouring out his mercy through healing.

00:59:46.820 --> 00:59:49.820
It's going to be his dominant way of showing mercy.

00:59:49.820 --> 00:59:51.820
That is what is important.

00:59:51.820 --> 00:59:56.820
The Lord wants us to give, wants to give us room in this land by pouring out his mercy

00:59:56.820 --> 01:00:00.820
through healing and it's going to be his dominant way of showing mercy.

01:00:02.820 --> 01:00:11.820
Matthew 10.

01:00:11.820 --> 01:00:15.820
So Jesus sends out people and these are his instructions.

01:00:15.820 --> 01:00:18.820
As you go, proclaim this message.

01:00:18.820 --> 01:00:22.820
The kingdom of God or the kingdom of heaven has come near.

01:00:22.820 --> 01:00:26.820
After he rose again, it's not any longer come near, it is here.

01:00:26.820 --> 01:00:27.820
As you go, proclaim this message.

01:00:27.820 --> 01:00:30.820
The kingdom of heaven is here.

01:00:30.820 --> 01:00:35.820
Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons.

01:00:35.820 --> 01:00:44.820
And I love the next line, freely you have received, freely give, freely you have received, freely give.

01:00:44.820 --> 01:00:50.820
Let's break bread and while we break bread, this is a message I want to keep proclaiming that

01:00:50.820 --> 01:00:53.820
as we break bread, here's how we're going to do it.

01:00:53.820 --> 01:01:01.820
Once you have your peace, once you have your peace, take it and freely give it to someone.

01:01:01.820 --> 01:01:07.820
And in giving it, quote your own version of Matthew 10, 7 and 8, saying this is what I'm about to do.

01:01:07.820 --> 01:01:13.820
I'm receiving this bread today not to eat here, I'm receiving this bread today and as I give it to you freely,

01:01:13.820 --> 01:01:19.820
I'm saying to you that I am going to be going out and freely giving what Jesus has asked me to give.

01:01:20.820 --> 01:01:25.820
Take this message, put it in your own words, move around this room sharing it with people.

01:01:25.820 --> 01:01:28.820
Yeah, that's how we're going to break bread.

01:01:28.820 --> 01:01:32.820
Matthew 10, 7 and 8, can we put Matthew 10, 7 and 8 on the screen if possible?

01:01:32.820 --> 01:01:37.820
Matthew 10, 7 and 8 if you could put it on the screen.

01:01:37.820 --> 01:01:44.820
And then after we've done that, if there is anybody who wants to, this is an odd way to put it,

01:01:44.820 --> 01:01:49.820
but for the year ahead if you want to prophesy into the year ahead with regard to this healing

01:01:49.820 --> 01:01:56.820
and you have a word that you want to prophesy, feel free to come up and then we'll end with a song.

01:01:56.820 --> 01:02:03.820
So once you get the thing, break it and go give it to someone and speak.

01:02:03.820 --> 01:02:06.820
You've got to start speaking here itself.

01:02:07.820 --> 01:02:10.820
So for instance, if I had a piece,

01:02:17.820 --> 01:02:23.820
so for instance if I had a piece, I'd break it and I'd say, hey, freely I have received, freely I give.

01:02:23.820 --> 01:02:27.820
I've received so much healing from God, I want to start giving it away.

01:02:27.820 --> 01:02:33.820
And in this act, I'm giving away what I have received and I really believe that Jesus is going to use me

01:02:33.820 --> 01:02:38.820
to heal the sick, to raise the dead, to cleanse lepers, to cast out demons.

01:02:38.820 --> 01:02:41.820
And I'm going to tell people from now on that Jesus is here.

01:02:41.820 --> 01:02:43.820
Do you want to believe him too like I believe?

01:02:43.820 --> 01:02:46.820
Do you want to turn away from your old life like I have?

01:02:46.820 --> 01:02:49.820
I'm not going to avoid this message anymore.

01:02:49.820 --> 01:02:54.820
As I break bread today, I remember the Jesus of the Gospels and what he has commanded us to.

01:02:54.820 --> 01:02:56.820
He said, remember me.

01:02:56.820 --> 01:02:59.820
And we are remembering him. We are remembering who he was in the Gospels.

01:02:59.820 --> 01:03:01.820
That's what we're doing. Yeah?

01:03:01.820 --> 01:03:04.820
Then feel free to eat and then we'll drink from the cup.

01:03:04.820 --> 01:03:07.820
So feel free to get up and move around and break.

01:03:07.820 --> 01:03:10.820
And yeah.

01:03:11.820 --> 01:03:16.820
Sam, freely, can you turn my mic off guys for now?

01:03:19.820 --> 01:03:21.820
Sam, free.

01:03:31.820 --> 01:03:34.820
Yeah.

01:04:01.820 --> 01:04:04.820
Yeah.

01:04:31.820 --> 01:04:34.820
Yeah.

01:05:01.820 --> 01:05:04.820
Yeah.

01:05:31.820 --> 01:05:34.820
Yeah.

01:06:01.820 --> 01:06:04.820
Yeah.

01:06:31.820 --> 01:06:34.820
Yeah.

01:07:01.820 --> 01:07:04.820
Yeah.

01:07:31.820 --> 01:07:34.820
Jesus.

01:07:34.820 --> 01:07:37.820
Jesus.

01:07:46.820 --> 01:07:49.820
Jesus.

01:07:52.820 --> 01:07:56.820
We have circumvented the message of the kingdom in this church,

01:07:56.820 --> 01:07:59.820
even though we know about the kingdom quite a lot,

01:07:59.820 --> 01:08:09.180
Quite a lot, we've talked about it, but we've skirted around it, not totally deliberately,

01:08:09.180 --> 01:08:11.220
but we have skirted around it.

01:08:11.220 --> 01:08:23.060
So as we drink of this cup, we want to return to the original blueprint.

01:08:23.060 --> 01:08:29.380
Mighty King, Almighty God, King.

01:08:29.380 --> 01:08:33.740
In the end, when you come riding on that white horse, you have King of Kings and Lord of

01:08:33.740 --> 01:08:43.380
Lords written on a sash around you.

01:08:43.380 --> 01:09:01.140
So what do we want to say as we drink this cup?

01:09:01.140 --> 01:09:09.420
Father, you are sending us to announce the message of the kingdom, which is very simple.

01:09:09.420 --> 01:09:17.300
Jesus is here, his rule is here, and this is what his rule entails.

01:09:17.300 --> 01:09:22.760
Would you like to have this rule enter your life?

01:09:22.760 --> 01:09:28.300
You can do that by letting go of your past and stepping into and believing who Christ

01:09:28.300 --> 01:09:29.300
is.

01:09:29.300 --> 01:09:31.720
I do not want to avoid this message.

01:09:31.720 --> 01:09:34.540
This church doesn't want to avoid this message.

01:09:34.540 --> 01:09:36.360
We have been sent to announce it.

01:09:36.360 --> 01:09:44.740
If we announce it, you will resource us with everything that the kingdom must manifest.

01:09:44.740 --> 01:09:48.800
So it is to that we drink.

01:09:48.800 --> 01:09:56.680
It's our helpless but heartfelt pledge that we change in this.

01:09:56.680 --> 01:09:57.960
Holy Spirit, would you change this?

01:09:57.960 --> 01:10:02.320
We have developed a culture of avoidance, partly because of the environment we live

01:10:02.320 --> 01:10:05.700
in, partly because we haven't emphasized that.

01:10:05.700 --> 01:10:09.100
So today we repent.

01:10:09.100 --> 01:10:11.860
We repent and we change.

01:10:11.860 --> 01:10:14.720
We have our hearts converted today.

01:10:14.720 --> 01:10:20.500
We ask in helplessness, asking Holy Spirit for your help to change this culture, this

01:10:20.500 --> 01:10:23.580
church, my life and our lives.

01:10:23.580 --> 01:10:27.300
Saying there's a message that needs to be announced, it is the only message that gets

01:10:27.300 --> 01:10:30.700
a person saved.

01:10:30.700 --> 01:10:34.860
One is born again not to enter a church, one is born again to enter a kingdom.

01:10:35.020 --> 01:10:39.860
Unless you be born again, you cannot enter the kingdom of God.

01:10:39.860 --> 01:10:46.500
Therefore, even though all these things in the kingdom are free, because you are a benevolent

01:10:46.500 --> 01:10:51.740
king, we will carry the message with the free gifts.

01:10:51.740 --> 01:10:56.940
This church will do that and it will see a difference in how we function.

01:10:56.940 --> 01:11:03.900
A new commission, a new location or tabernacle, a new operating system for its priesthood.

01:11:03.940 --> 01:11:08.500
So we thank you Jesus for making all this possible by dying on the cross and allowing

01:11:08.500 --> 01:11:14.020
us to now take what you did and give it to others.

01:11:14.020 --> 01:11:17.900
The mercy that was shown to us and to the world, we now will take and spread to others.

01:11:17.900 --> 01:11:21.900
We drink to that now, in Jesus' name, amen.

01:11:25.900 --> 01:11:27.900
Let it be so, Lord.

01:11:28.900 --> 01:11:35.900
Alrighty, so we'll sing this really old song that Jane knows and then we'll end it with

01:11:35.900 --> 01:11:37.900
the chorus of a newer song.

01:11:37.900 --> 01:11:44.700
And then if there is anybody who thinks they can prophesy into this, feel free to come

01:11:44.700 --> 01:11:48.100
up and prophesy into it.

01:11:48.100 --> 01:11:50.640
How does that work, Jacob?

01:11:50.640 --> 01:11:51.640
That works this way.

01:11:51.640 --> 01:11:55.500
You feel God saying, this is what I'm doing, you've heard what I've taught, now this is

01:11:55.500 --> 01:11:59.500
what I want you to speak out loud over the church because this is my word for the church.

01:11:59.500 --> 01:12:01.500
That's how it works.

01:12:01.500 --> 01:12:03.500
Yeah?

01:12:09.500 --> 01:12:11.500
Here, Joe.

01:12:13.500 --> 01:12:17.500
The pastor is the last one people pay attention to.

01:12:20.500 --> 01:12:22.500
Thanks.

01:12:25.500 --> 01:12:26.500
Sorry.

01:12:36.500 --> 01:12:38.500
Liddy, liddy.

01:12:55.500 --> 01:12:57.500
Should I say something?

01:12:59.500 --> 01:13:01.500
Betty, could you give him your mic?

01:13:05.500 --> 01:13:07.500
Hi.

01:13:07.500 --> 01:13:15.500
I don't know how this is going to go, but this week I was kind of going through just

01:13:15.500 --> 01:13:19.500
things have been getting more stressful with just trying to get established here.

01:13:19.500 --> 01:13:27.500
I felt like just this attack on me and it just kept building.

01:13:27.500 --> 01:13:38.500
I guess Tuesday night or something I had a Graham Cook message just pop up that I downloaded

01:13:38.500 --> 01:13:44.500
about two years ago, just randomly started playing about resting in the Lord.

01:13:44.500 --> 01:13:49.500
So I said, okay, I better just listen to this.

01:13:49.500 --> 01:13:53.500
So I started listening to it.

01:13:53.500 --> 01:14:03.500
One of the things he was saying is our job as Christians is not to react to the situations

01:14:03.500 --> 01:14:07.500
around us, but to respond to the voice within us.

01:14:07.500 --> 01:14:14.500
And I just said, okay, Lord, I repent.

01:14:14.500 --> 01:14:21.500
I repent of just worrying about all the things that I think I need to worry about and just

01:14:21.500 --> 01:14:25.500
calm me down, Lord.

01:14:25.500 --> 01:14:34.500
And so as that night I was calming down my spirit, the Lord just said to me, now that

01:14:34.500 --> 01:14:40.500
you've stopped worrying about all the stuff that you need to worry about, how about you

01:14:40.500 --> 01:14:46.500
just listen to what I have for this church and for you.

01:14:46.500 --> 01:14:58.500
And he actually brought me to the, he told me to read the story of the flood.

01:14:58.500 --> 01:15:03.500
And this is what I wrote down.

01:15:03.500 --> 01:15:10.500
I just feel like this is what God has been saying to my situation and this church.

01:15:10.500 --> 01:15:18.500
And he said, as I was reading the story of the flood, the Father gave me this revelation how

01:15:18.500 --> 01:15:22.500
this story is a picture of what he is doing with this church.

01:15:22.500 --> 01:15:30.500
So just like Noah and his family were preparing for a flood, I know this family has been

01:15:30.500 --> 01:15:33.500
building and preparing for a flood.

01:15:33.500 --> 01:15:40.500
And now God is saying once more I'm about to break forth the wells of the deep.

01:15:40.500 --> 01:15:47.500
Except this time these wells are not hidden underneath the earth waiting to bring judgment.

01:15:47.500 --> 01:15:56.500
These wells are set to break forth from inside the walls of his ark so that his church will

01:15:56.500 --> 01:15:59.500
bring restoration to the land.

01:15:59.500 --> 01:16:02.500
So get ready to not just get wet.

01:16:02.500 --> 01:16:08.500
He literally wants to drown us in his love and power.

01:16:08.500 --> 01:16:16.500
Right now he has sent out a call to say to all the animals, me being one of them, to

01:16:16.500 --> 01:16:18.500
all aboard.

01:16:18.500 --> 01:16:20.500
The ark is ready.

01:16:20.500 --> 01:16:22.500
It is ready to go.

01:16:22.500 --> 01:16:24.500
It's done.

01:16:24.500 --> 01:16:30.500
I find it so cool that basically I arrived here and got here at the time you guys got into this

01:16:30.500 --> 01:16:31.500
building.

01:16:31.500 --> 01:16:34.500
I believe this is the appointed time is here.

01:16:34.500 --> 01:16:39.500
God is about to be unleashed.

01:16:40.500 --> 01:16:47.500
The power of God is about to be unleashed until this ship rises high above the earth and finds

01:16:47.500 --> 01:16:53.500
its resting place on the mountains.

01:16:53.500 --> 01:17:03.500
And just last night I thought it was so cool that even before I came out here, I guess a week

01:17:03.500 --> 01:17:15.500
before I came out here, an older lady in Verdun was praying for me about some issues, strongholds

01:17:15.500 --> 01:17:25.500
in my life and things that I haven't had victory over that has stopped me from prospering the way

01:17:25.500 --> 01:17:27.500
I know God wants me to.

01:17:27.500 --> 01:17:33.500
And as she was praying for me, she said, I see you beside Jesus on a ship.

01:17:33.500 --> 01:17:43.500
And I just believe that what God wants to do in my life is like it's here.

01:17:43.500 --> 01:17:45.500
The yoke is ready to be broken.

01:17:45.500 --> 01:17:47.500
It's just around the corner.

01:17:47.500 --> 01:17:49.500
So amen.

01:17:49.500 --> 01:17:51.500
Amen.

01:18:19.500 --> 01:18:29.500
Maranatha music.

01:18:29.500 --> 01:18:33.500
Remember, they used to come in cassettes with weird modern art designs on it.

01:18:33.500 --> 01:18:43.500
Could you put five on that?

01:18:43.500 --> 01:18:45.500
That's a probation board.

01:18:45.500 --> 01:18:47.500
That's a probation board.

01:18:47.500 --> 01:18:49.500
There's one that goes up by one.

01:18:49.500 --> 01:18:53.500
God forgive my sin.

01:18:53.500 --> 01:18:59.500
In Jesus' name I've been born again.

01:18:59.500 --> 01:19:13.500
In Jesus' name, in Jesus' name I come to you to share His love as He told me to.

01:19:13.500 --> 01:19:17.500
God forgave my sin.

01:19:17.500 --> 01:19:23.500
In Jesus' name I've been born again.

01:19:23.500 --> 01:19:37.500
In Jesus' name, and in Jesus' name I come to you to share His love as He told me to.

01:19:37.500 --> 01:19:49.500
He said freely, freely you have received, freely, freely there.

01:19:49.500 --> 01:20:01.500
Go in my name and because you believe, others will know about it.

01:20:01.500 --> 01:20:09.500
All power in heaven, in Jesus' name.

01:20:09.500 --> 01:20:15.500
In earth and heaven, in Jesus' name.

01:20:15.500 --> 01:20:27.500
And in Jesus' name I come to you to share His power as He told me to.

01:20:27.500 --> 01:20:39.500
He said freely, freely you have received, freely, freely there.

01:20:39.500 --> 01:20:53.500
Go in my name and because you believe, others will know that I live.

01:20:54.500 --> 01:20:57.500
Next please.

01:20:57.500 --> 01:20:59.500
Is there another bit?

01:20:59.500 --> 01:21:01.500
Yes.

01:21:01.500 --> 01:21:03.500
Oh.

01:21:03.500 --> 01:21:07.500
God gives us life.

01:21:07.500 --> 01:21:13.500
In Jesus' name He lives in us.

01:21:14.500 --> 01:21:29.500
In Jesus' name, and in Jesus' name I come to you to share His peace as He told me to.

01:21:29.500 --> 01:21:41.500
He said freely, freely you have received, freely, freely there.

01:21:41.500 --> 01:21:53.500
Go in His name and because you believe, others will know that I live.

01:21:53.500 --> 01:22:05.500
Freely, freely you have received, freely, freely there.

01:22:05.500 --> 01:22:07.500
Go in His name.

01:22:07.500 --> 01:22:17.500
Go in His name and because you believe, others will know that I live.

01:22:17.500 --> 01:22:20.500
That's the first verse.

01:22:20.500 --> 01:22:22.500
Just lower it.

01:22:22.500 --> 01:22:24.500
God forgive my sin.

01:22:24.500 --> 01:22:31.500
In Jesus' name I've been born again.

01:22:31.500 --> 01:22:46.500
In Jesus' name, and in Jesus' name I come to you to share His love as He told me to.

01:22:46.500 --> 01:22:48.500
Chorus one last time.

01:22:48.500 --> 01:22:58.500
He said freely, freely you have received, freely, freely there.

01:22:58.500 --> 01:23:00.500
Go in My name.

01:23:00.500 --> 01:23:11.500
Go in My name and because you believe, others will know that I live.

01:23:11.500 --> 01:23:16.500
Awesome Father, what an old, apt song.

01:23:16.500 --> 01:23:23.500
So as we go now, what's the right benediction?

01:23:23.500 --> 01:23:27.500
Mark 16, 19 and 20.

01:23:27.500 --> 01:23:46.500
Mark 16, 19 and 20.

01:23:46.500 --> 01:23:52.500
After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was taken up into heaven and He sat at the right hand of God.

01:23:52.500 --> 01:23:58.500
Then the disciples at Acts 29 went out and preached everywhere.

01:23:58.500 --> 01:24:08.500
The Lord worked with the disciples at Acts 29, confirmed His word by signs that accompanied it.

01:24:08.500 --> 01:24:11.500
Let's just pray a blessing on Heidi as she goes to Germany.

01:24:11.500 --> 01:24:17.500
Father, as Heidi goes to Germany we pray that she will be wisdom, she will be healing.

01:24:17.500 --> 01:24:31.500
She will be order, she will be strength to her family, preparing them in your ways.

01:24:31.500 --> 01:24:33.500
In Jesus' name, Amen.

01:24:33.500 --> 01:24:35.500
Bless you guys.
