1
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: Well, you know, Jesus has called us to be the

2
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: salt and light of the world and reminds us that

3
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,159
Speaker 1: whatever we do for the least of these, we do

4
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: for him. While our guest today is leaving out that calling,

5
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 1: impacting thousands of lives through compassion, love, and unwavering faith.

6
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,320

Speaker 5: Thank you very much.

26
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: It's such a great story. Well, you know, after launching

27
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: the nonprofit Christ's Compassion to the Rural World, Pastor Matthew

Speaker 1: is Shimeloa witness God's heart to reach the world firsthand.

29
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: Today he joins us to share his remarkable journey and

30
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: the lasting impact of this mission. So a little bit

31
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: about your story and growing up in Nigeria, and of

32
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: course I think the most interesting part for all our

33
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: ladies here is that you were sending as a reverse

34
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: missionary to Europe into London from Nigeria, whereas usually we're

35
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: the over But just talk a little bit how you

36
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: came to know the Lord.

37
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,559
Speaker 6: Well, first, I was born to Muslim family. My dad

38
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 6: was a Muslim, my mom, my.

39
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 5: Brother, and sister.

40
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 6: But then when I was twenty, I was more or

41
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 6: less a secular Muslim. So I was in a drunken

42
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 6: state when I walked into somebody's house who had some

43
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 6: pile of traps, picked up one ready and invited Jesus

44
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 6: into my heart.

45
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's actually yeah.

46
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 6: Several years later, about ten twelve years ago, I went

47
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 6: to Alberta, Canada, and decided to visit evangel contract distributors

48
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 6: who had.

49
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 5: Sent that trap to Africa.

50
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 6: So go say it, thank you for meeting this ex

51
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 6: Muslim to Christ.

52
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 3: What did your family think about radical transformation?

53
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 6: My dad had passed in the n jerseyvil War, so

54
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 6: that that would have been my biggest problem. She would

55
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 6: have been my persecution or my persecutor that he was passed.

56
00:02:55,480 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 6: And so I didn't have much of pressure from that point. Again,

57
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 6: because my dad was a renegade. He was the only

58
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 6: Muslim from his general family. Everyone in his greater family

59
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 6: were believer it were Christians, but he chose Islam. My

60
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 6: dad always likes to travel in the opposite direction.

61
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: You kind of do the same I did. Well, you

62
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: came to know the Lord and immediately the Lord began

63
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: or what allowed you to be discipled? And you went

64
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 1: to Bible? So was it for square?

65
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, man, that's the.

66
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: One Jack Hayford came out of.

67
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, yes, yes, they had entered at They had

68
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 6: entered Niger seventy years ago. So when I go born

69
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 6: again in seventy two, I got called of God in

70
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 6: seventy three, so I went to the Bible school seventy

71
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 6: four and I was posted to a treasure in seventy six.

72
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 6: But then they needed reverse missionaries who will go to Europe,

73
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 6: and I was picked as one to be the first

74
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 6: reverse missionary to go into the United Rates.

75
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: And when you got there, they told you, if you

76
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: have a church of how many, it's going to be revival.

77
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:07,119
Speaker 2: Yeah.

78
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 6: I mean, first of all, there were churches in England

79
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 6: that was just one undred thirty.

80
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 5: And a gentleman whom I had met, who was.

81
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 6: In four school with us, he had gone to the

82
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 6: same Bible school as Ryan at Bunke in Wales. He said, Matthew,

83
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 6: if you ever seen a hundred people in your church,

84
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 6: that's a massive revival. It was very discouraging, but I

85
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 6: knew it was a call of God. But then I

86
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 6: went into anyhow believing that there would be a great

87
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 6: move of God.

88
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: You know what I love about this story is you

89
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: can see how God saved you. You went to Bible

90
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: School and then you served for so many years and

91
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: then they sent you. But when you got there, there

92
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: was no instant success. And I know there were several

93
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: really difficult hard years, and I think that's important to

94
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 1: talk about that there's usually a process when God's going

95
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: to do something great.

96
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, certainly the first three or four years were very discouraged.

97
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 6: People went, I'm more than thirty forty Maro. At some

98
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 6: point I was so discouraged I told my wife, if

99
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 6: you wanted to do some studies yet, you need to

100
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 6: do it, And I guess we're going back home. But

101
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 6: it was at that point that I felt I had

102
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 6: an encounter with God and there was a turning point.

103
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: And what happened, I guess.

104
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 6: I had a guest who had come and preached for me,

105
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 6: and he said, Pastor, you need to change your attitude.

106
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 6: Your attitude was like, if this place isn't work, I'm

107
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 6: going back home. Say you need to change your attitude.

108
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 6: Do some things, take steps of faith, put out chairs

109
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 6: with nobody sitting on it, and start proving signing on

110
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 6: the chairs. And I'm thinking, wouldn't I look a little crazy.

111
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 5: Laying hands on empty hits. But that was a turning point,

112
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 5: and something happened.

113
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 6: Come with the fact that some guy came from America

114
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 6: to teach in London and the miraculous John Wember. I

115
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 6: remember John Wember came to do one of his sons

116
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 6: on wondrous conference and had gone and I was raising

117
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 6: the pancos to the Bible School, but we didn't quite.

118
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 5: Know how to move into miraculous.

119
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 6: But John Wimber's conference was my turning point. Some of

120
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 6: his statement statements like, don't be afraid to pray for

121
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 6: the sick if you can't. If you say, there are

122
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 6: two people here with deafness, with the deaf ear left

123
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 6: ear and it's the right ear, at least you got

124
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 6: the ear right, he.

125
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: Was saying, step out, God, start using, just do something

126
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: and let the Holy Spirit show up.

127
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 6: And true, I mean truly, that happened and we got

128
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 6: to see miracles.

129
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: You know, your dad John the same thing, right. Let

130
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: let the Holy Spirit do what he wants to do.

131
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,359
Speaker 2: He learned about healing and he got this revelation on

132
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 2: it and he had a healing revival and his first

133
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 2: person that came up to get.

134
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: Healed was deaf and mute.

135
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 2: Oh God, please give me somebody with a headache.

136
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: And he prayed and the.

137
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 2: Miracle miracles, that person was totally set, pretty totally healed, and.

138
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 6: That died in nineteen eighty nine at the Kennethy Hagan

139
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 6: conference made him he had come to his own books

140
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 6: time to sign some books.

141
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 5: I'd listened to him in the conference that lives on.

142
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: Okay, so the church begin to grow after a few years, like, yeah,

143
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: we're huge.

144
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 6: Like what happened with us not believing God and stepping

145
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 6: out in faith and laying hands on people and doing

146
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 6: ministry and also trying to run with excellence? So many

147
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 6: things combined, but the biggest was obedience, moving into miraculous

148
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 6: and trusting God, and also changing our belief systems and growth.

149
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: Be got to say it all again, So obedience.

150
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 6: Obedience, trusting God with the miraculous, stepping out of the

151
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 6: known to the unknown, and also re engineering.

152
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 5: I was trained as seminary.

153
00:07:54,920 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 6: By default, most seminaries train you to pastor two hundred people,

154
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 6: and I needed to re engineer my thinking to be

155
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 6: able to handle thousands.

156
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: So what happened when you got the first thousand and

157
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: then two thousand and then three thousand.

158
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 6: Well, in church grew with the argue that once you

159
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 6: have the first thousand, you just get to do the

160
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 6: same thing you did to continue to multiply. And once

161
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 6: you did those things, they happened. However, one of the

162
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 6: things you need to do is go into multiple services,

163
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 6: and we did that, which was unknown in London. I mean,

164
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 6: we were running multiple services. Then it became a word

165
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 6: of mouth. People were now telling everyone, do you know

166
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 6: that church in Hockney, London?

167
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 5: I maybe became so bad.

168
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 6: That we haven't finished one service. The crowdhouse that was

169
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 6: going to break down the door. Everyone was thinking this

170
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 6: happening in England or not?

171
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: I mean, that is so amazing. And it finally grew

172
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: to how many.

173
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 6: We grew to twelve thousand and then and then the

174
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 6: fire became like a conflagration and the other church began

175
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 6: to catch the same fire. And even with the persecution,

176
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 6: we went through a building taken over by the government

177
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 6: because the Olympics, the twenty twelve Olympics was actually I

178
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 6: mean the stadium sits where my poolpit used to ben't

179
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 6: yeah use that?

180
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: Where'd you go? They just came in and took your building.

181
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, they took our building, took our premises.

182
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 5: And prior to that time we had bought a small.

183
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 6: Movie place, very small, so we had to run five

184
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 6: services to keep the church running.

185
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 5: We had to run five services.

186
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 3: What did you think in that season when it's like, Lord,

187
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 3: you bless me brought me like to just take it

188
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 3: all the way.

189
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 6: I guess when you walk with the lawyer, you might

190
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 6: just find that some questions you ask, he wouldn't answer

191
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 6: me this. You want a history answer, and he has

192
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 6: a better answer. So when we went that small building

193
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 6: those five six years, it was like, in fact, I

194
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 6: went this far saying, God, are you trying to kill me?

195
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 6: You know, because I'm preaching five times? And it ended

196
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 6: affecting my hips because I was starting for hours, which

197
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 6: is another testament itself. I went to a heap replacement

198
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 6: surgery and when I got to the doctor's I took

199
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 6: the X ray to the poop it, placed it on

200
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 6: the pulpit and said, Father, this was where I got

201
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 6: this problem. By the time I see the surgeon, let

202
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 6: them not find anything. When I got there, the guy pressed,

203
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 6: I couldn't find anything.

204
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: Wow, amazing, Okay. So then God miraculously did something supernatural

205
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: with the building. Tell everybody what happened.

206
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 6: So when we were now chopped out of our line

207
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 6: that we had to worship for six years, and this

208
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 6: tiny I call it tiny because it only takes about

209
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:57,239
Speaker 6: sixteen hundred when we were running five service, it disappeared

210
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 6: a sending our members to open branches.

211
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 5: Six years into.

212
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 6: Being in the place, we found a huge premises owned

213
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 6: by the Boy Scouts of Kent in England, and they

214
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 6: had built it with lottery money.

215
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 5: Lottery money, twenty four.

216
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 6: Acres buildings on the line worth forty five million pounds.

217
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 5: Wow, we want it for.

218
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: Five millions it is. That's amazing. Who I mean and

219
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: that's still going. It's just I've been to your church.

220
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: It's amazing.

221
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 5: You need to come to this new one.

222
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: I know you. Okay, So talk a little bit about

223
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 1: what you're doing now, because it's almost like God has

224
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: taking everything that you've gone through these fifty years.

225
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 5: Get me ready for something else.

226
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: To get you ready. By the way, you're not going

227
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: to retire. Just going to tell you that. Don't even

228
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: think about retire because some of your greatest days are head.

229
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: But you're seeing some incredible things happen, especially in the

230
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: continent of Africa. So I think we have some b

231
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: role that we can show. But talk a little bit

232
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: about what's going on there.

233
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 7: Yeah.

234
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 6: So initially when I was called to ministry, my heart

235
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 6: was always to do crusades and evangelism. But the Fourth

236
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 6: Grade Church, which was my setting of calling. Said hey,

237
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 6: we only want pastors, so you have to be a

238
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 6: pastor by fire, by force.

239
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 5: So we were med to be pastors.

240
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 6: But the cry of the wild was to just be

241
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 6: an evangelist. I did everything I could anytime I had

242
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 6: the opportunity. But visiting some guys in Ghana, I observed

243
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 6: something they were doing and it resonated with what I

244
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 6: felt African ne did. I felt African neidid not a

245
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 6: crusade that just brought the crowd preached to them they

246
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 6: went home, but a kind of a crusade that brought compassion.

247
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 6: So I actually would leave London and go with these

248
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 6: guys the villages of Ghana. And I did that for

249
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 6: eight years, just studying the guys, carried my crew from England,

250
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 6: followed the sponsored their crusade, put hundreds of thousands of

251
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 6: dollars into their crusades just to train.

252
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 5: But then finally and I felt we could do this.

253
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 5: It was time for me.

254
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 6: And then the Lord began to minister to me, and

255
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 6: then I said, Lord, until you show me the city,

256
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 6: I wouldn't go. Now, gave me this go ahead to

257
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 6: start with the city where I went to seminary would

258
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 6: show up with the kind of crusader they'd never seen

259
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 6: take over the So our crusades have five finger.

260
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 5: First fingers, we take.

261
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 6: Over some hospitals in town and carry out free surgery.

262
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 5: Wow.

263
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 6: So that first crusade we have four hundred surgeries, including

264
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 6: what they call a total redoing of a face of

265
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 6: a girl who had like double face. Something protruded out

266
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 6: of her face.

267
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 5: We had to redo, So four hundred surgeries.

268
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 6: The second finger of our crusades the nights, the nightly

269
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 6: Crusades and miracle Crusades, And that first one we had

270
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 6: ten thousand souls get bought again in four or five days.

271
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 6: The third finger is relief. We distributed fifty thousand packs

272
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 6: of rice, fifty thousand packs of deans, fifty thousand of everything, clothing, budgets, sugar.

273
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 6: The stadium was jammed. The people had never seen anything

274
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 6: like this. So the night Crusades it wasn't difficult for

275
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,239
Speaker 6: you to really so now were like, these guys are compassionate.

276
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 6: So we had Muslims turning to Christ. And then we

277
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 6: had the second year, which was just last November, Dours Triple.

278
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 6: We were distributing everything in one fifty thousand one fifty

279
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 6: thousand packs of rice. Took over four hospitals for the

280
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 6: surgery one forty eyes and other surgeries.

281
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: These are people that maybe can't afford these, it cannot

282
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: urge and they get him for free. Yeah. People they

283
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: need eye surgeries or just things that we would take

284
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: for granted. Here in America you could not avoid it.

285
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 5: And if you go to the government hospital, you had

286
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 5: to pay.

287
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 6: You didn't have the Many said well gone and here

288
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 6: until you die. So we had six hundred and i

289
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 6: forty eyes. When the eye surgeons couldn't cope, we flew

290
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 6: in another doctor.

291
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 5: From somewhere else.

292
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 6: So we do the surgery as the start, then the relief, then.

293
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 5: The fourth fingers.

294
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 6: The pasta's compress were now trained the pastas ten thousand

295
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 6: of them. But the last two days is a huge

296
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 6: medical event where we convert the stadium to become a hospital.

297
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 6: We line up one hundred and fifty doctors, one hundred

298
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 6: and fifty pharmacists, about two hundred nurses would bring medicines

299
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 6: worth three hundred thousand dollars.

300
00:15:58,320 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: Wow.

301
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 6: Last year we had about seventy thousand people. It was

302
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 6: impossible for the two for the one hundred and fifty

303
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 6: doctors to code.

304
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 5: We gave ten thousand glasses. We did, we gave.

305
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 6: Medicine to this seventy thousand people we de wanted twenty

306
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 6: twenty five thousand children who were given medicines to get

307
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 6: our warms out of their body, and then the remaining

308
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 6: sixty seventy thousand. On the last day, the doctors couldn't

309
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 6: even leave until one in the morning. Wow, it is

310
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 6: very overwhelming. But then November this year we're off to

311
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 6: another city.

312
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: Well, and you know what, when you preach the gospel,

313
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: the blessing of God is on it, when you lead

314
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: people to Jesus. Amen.

315
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 2: I just think it's amazing't I've really never heard anybody

316
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 2: do that. You know, I've seen it done in different elements,

317
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 2: but man, I just think it's amazing.

318
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: Yay to you, Thank you.

319
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 8: I'm truly speechless. I mean, what you're talking about is

320
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 8: a man. Yes, and you have to be organized and trained.

321
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 8: I mean, there's so many pieces that has to go

322
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 8: into us. It's just amazing that when God is in it,

323
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 8: he sees everything through it. Because apparently you've been able

324
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 8: to accomplish everything because of God.

325
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 6: It's so much that we have to start in February

326
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 6: for the November cruisiade and for the moment because of

327
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 6: the cost and we can only do one in the year.

328
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 2: Where do you get the doctors and nurses do they come?

329
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 6: There are doctors in the country, but we pay so

330
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 6: we tell them we would pay you.

331
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 5: Because its pro bono. Some might not show. We pay

332
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 5: the doctors to pay. The nurses will pay everyone.

333
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 6: It's the surgeons when we bargain with and say, hey,

334
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 6: we know how much you surgeons would charge, now could

335
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 6: you just be nice and take what we would pay you?

336
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 5: And they work with us.

337
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 6: But again, kytos to the church is because the con

338
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 6: it's a handed to the churches and the city. Last

339
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 6: year we had twenty thousand souls in four or five

340
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 6: days and we handed them away. Those churches give us

341
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:16,719
Speaker 6: seven thousand volunteers. And what we do for the volunteers

342
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 6: is provide lunch every three days for five to seven

343
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 6: thousand volunteers. Because the crew said, is crazy. There's no

344
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 6: break time other than the nights. During the daytime we're distributing,

345
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 6: the stadium is packed and just like you say, how

346
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 6: do you manage this? Just crowd control costs us so

347
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 6: much because one of the greatest challenge of poor people

348
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 6: is stampede. Even when are you giving assurance that what

349
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 6: you have on your table is enough, they still have

350
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 6: a feeling that hey might not get to my turn.

351
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 6: So there's always a stampede. So we spend so much

352
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 6: money and crowd control that will have two hundred and

353
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 6: fifty policemen and fifty soldiers.

354
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 5: I mean I wanted most soldiers.

355
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 6: Where the guy was a commandant, the commandant of the

356
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 6: of the military barracks. So why do you need more

357
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 6: than fifty soldiers? I said, because of the Christ that

358
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 6: we go to war with fifty, where are you going

359
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:17,479
Speaker 6: with one hundred?

360
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: So I love it.

361
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 3: This was a desire that you always had in your heart,

362
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 3: But it isn't something that the Lord did immediately. There

363
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 3: was a fortifying season. There is valley seasons. There is struggle,

364
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 3: there's there were trials. There was so much that you

365
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 3: had to get through.

366
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: That doesn't always preach to ill, it doesn't.

367
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 5: That's what would you what would you say?

368
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 3: What would you say to that person who has this

369
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 3: big dream and vision for their life but they're still

370
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 3: stuck in the valley?

371
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 4: Right?

372
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 7: I think the.

373
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 6: Bible is so perfect when you say that for the

374
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 6: vision is for an appointed time. The challenge of the

375
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 6: English language is that it is only six hundred years old,

376
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 6: so he uses the.

377
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 5: Word time for everything.

378
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 6: And Hebrew the word for appropriate season is zaman, which

379
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 6: is killed in the Greek, which means the right season.

380
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 6: I mean, I went into ministry when I was twenty two,

381
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 6: and I didn't start this crusades until I was seventy.

382
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 1: Wow, that's when I went into ministry. I was twenty two.

383
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: You believe that. Wow, it's amazing. Wow, that's amazing.

384
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 5: So I had to wait this long.

385
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 6: Some people were wondering if you'd be retiring holding a crucid.

386
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 5: Of this modn dude, But you look so young.

387
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 4: With a man with your experience, life experience, ministry experience. Obviously,

388
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 4: people look to you and see a man that they

389
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 4: can trust, and so you have to have lots of

390
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 4: people come alongside. And financially that's a huge amount of money.

391
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: How does that come about?

392
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 6: I guess the number one when it comes to the timeline,

393
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 6: I guess the integrity over the years helps. When you

394
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 6: go to a city and you called on the church

395
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 6: for this, I say, we can't do this alone.

396
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 7: We need you.

397
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 6: Then they remember, Okay, it's a man of integrity whom

398
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 6: we've always known to work with you well when it

399
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 6: comes to the finance, because I had always known how.

400
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 5: Hold this kind of crusade.

401
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 6: I started a business on the site and the first

402
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 6: crusade was bankrolled nine hundred percent by me. The second one,

403
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 6: I will say probably eighty five percent. I'm hoping that

404
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 6: this next one, because you is bigger. We're putting out

405
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 6: adverts out there if we get a response, but we're

406
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 6: committed to doing it. But there are people who are

407
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:44,360
Speaker 6: now kind of getting into this, yes, because people saying

408
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 6: we've never seen anything like this, but it does make

409
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 6: sense that you are able to touch the needy people

410
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 6: in a way that others are not done in the past.

411
00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 1: And we want to give you from the show today

412
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars. See thank you very much for that.

413
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: Wow and put that in the medicine. There are others

414
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 1: that watching. If you'd like to help Pastor Matthew, I

415
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: can just tell you that he is the reputable man

416
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 1: is doing a great job there in these crusades in Africa.

417
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 1: What one or two of the miracles that stand out

418
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: that you that you've seen happen in these crusades.

419
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 6: Some of the miracles had seen, particularly when I first

420
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 6: started going to Ghana. This guy said, I'm not the student,

421
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 6: I'm the sener evangelist. So one of such crusades, one

422
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 6: of the nights when I had finished ministry, and we

423
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 6: had some amazing healings. We had a thirty two year

424
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 6: old lady who had never.

425
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 5: Spoken or heard, she spoke, she heard.

426
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 6: There was a boy who was sixteen spoke and heard

427
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 6: he was also deaf mute. Wow, it was a miracle then.

428
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 6: But then we had some crazy miracles also. We had

429
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 6: distributed a local food made out of cassava or manioc.

430
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 5: It's called gary.

431
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 6: You could pour it on water and drink like you're

432
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 6: hav any oats. And were distributed and the woman in

433
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 6: her own time had some of it and all the

434
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 6: rushes on her body disappeared.

435
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 5: So she ran to the chief's house.

436
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 6: I said, what kind of crazy people are these people?

437
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 6: Even the aghari is healing my body.

438
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: That is amazing, that's amazing.

439
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 6: We're seen as a miracle as saying, we're saying the

440
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 6: lame walk, we're saying eyes open.

441
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 7: Last year.

442
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 5: An old woman heard about the.

443
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 6: Crusade, was very indigent, no money, and yet had forty

444
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 6: year old son is blind, so she went to do

445
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 6: some cheap labor to get money to be able to

446
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 6: get them to the stadium. And her son's eyes were opened, amazing,

447
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 6: and there were Muslims amazing.

448
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 5: For me, that was like, if nothing else up on here,

449
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 5: this is enough.

450
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: Would you just take a moment and pray for someone

451
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: that's watching right now and you've got a sickness or

452
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: disease in your body and you need the Lord to

453
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: touch you. This is like a divine moment for you.

454
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: If you've listened to this, your faith has been built up,

455
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: and God wants to touch you today and He can

456
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: do that right here in America. He can do it

457
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 1: in any country in the world is watching. But we

458
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,360
Speaker 1: want to see God touch you in a special way.

459
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: And this is someone that you've not been around anything

460
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: like this before. You don't really totally understand what I'm

461
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: telling you. The presence of God is going to come

462
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 1: right there in that room where you are.

463
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 6: Pastor Matthew, Yes, Jesus Christ, the same yesterday and today

464
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 6: and forever. It still works, still heals He still delivers

465
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 6: and nothing can reduce that. So we want you to

466
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 6: believe and to know that God will touch you and

467
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 6: meet you at the point of your need. Fathering the

468
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 6: name of Jesus, we pray for everyone who's watching right now,

469
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 6: wherever they are, the you Jesus, who step into their homes,

470
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 6: their houses, their cars, wherever they are, a minister to them.

471
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 5: Set free, Set the.

472
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 6: Captives three, heal the sick, give them a common, unusual

473
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 6: supernatural miracle, give them an unusual testimony. Exceed their expectations

474
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 6: in Jesus' name.

475
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: Amen, Amen, everybody said, Amen, Amen, Amen.

476
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 9: I know that in Nigeria there's been a lot of

477
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 9: persecution of the Church, and what is your experience that

478
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 9: you've seen.

479
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 7: What is the state of the church in the face

480
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 7: of persecution in Nigeria.

481
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 6: I think the unfortunate thing is that the persecution is real,

482
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 6: particularly in the north. But some of these persecutions are

483
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 6: coming because again there is a revival.

484
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 5: Young men are women are turned into Christ.

485
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 6: Particularly the tribes that were not known to receive Christ

486
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 6: actually turn into Christs.

487
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 5: So there is a power reaction. There is a power reaction, but.

488
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 6: It hasn't stopped the Gospel. It hasn't stopped the revival.

489
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 6: Riles ignites in the people are making them to love

490
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 6: the Lord more. So you find some people who go

491
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 6: burn down the buildings belonging to Christians, and the North

492
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 6: in particular in fact attack name, et cetera, et cetera.

493
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 6: But the more they do it, the more the revival

494
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 6: the great. I mean, recently on TikTok, I was shocked

495
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 6: to see this particular tribe that we had no record

496
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 6: of any of them being born again, but they are

497
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 6: the largest number who are coming to Christ, who love

498
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 6: the Lord, who are receiving Christ.

499
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 5: You know, they don't have a background or.

500
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,719
Speaker 6: Being being in a church before they go born against who.

501
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 6: Their faith is raw, it is, It is crazy. They

502
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 6: are ready to stand for Christ.

503
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 5: So in the middle of the fire, they're growing for

504
00:26:58,560 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 5: Christ and.

505
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 1: Happening in so many parts of the world. You want

506
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 1: to be a part of that, And we're really proud

507
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: of you for stepping out and excited about what you're

508
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: going to be doing in Africa this year. Well, we

509
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: are out of time, but don't y'all love his story.

510
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 4: It's so good.

511
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 1: But don't forget that the Great Commission wasn't just for

512
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,239
Speaker 1: a select few, It's for every believer. We've all been

513
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: called to reach the loss, to carry the light of

514
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 1: Christ and to make an eternal impact everywhere you go.

515
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 1: If you're watching today and you need prayer, that's why

516
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,720

518
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 1: haven't invited Jesus into your heart, it's very simple to do.

519
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 1: Just say Jesus forgive me. He will meet you right

520
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,159

Speaker 1: it truly mean to hear Jesus say well done, good

538
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: and faithful servant at the end of your life? Like,

539
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: are you going to hear that? Am I going to

540
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: hear that?

541
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 6: Well?

542
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: Today's guest is here to share how you can live

543
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: with an eternity mindset from his new book, Caring Jesus

544
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,959
Speaker 1: Say Well Done, The Secret to securing Heaven's rewards. We're

545
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: we talk about that. A lot of people don't know

546
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: about that. But before we get to that, joining me

547
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: around the table is April Simons, who wants to hear

548
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: well done? I definitely do.

549
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 2: And I know that Marcus Lamb and my dad heard

550
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 2: well done, because sure, I just lived a life that

551
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 2: was pleasing to God, not a perfect life.

552
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: And you know, it's not about perfection. It's just about

553
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: relationship and doing what God's called.

554
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 5: Us to do right.

555
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: It's about connecting to the one who created us exactly.

556
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: It's about allowing God to do things in us. It's

557
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: like taking our natural and putting his super with it.

558
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 7: Amen.

559
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: That's a good way to say it, you know, Johnny

560
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: and Iki, You're welcome. Thank you with your bright, beautiful

561
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: self to doubt, thank you, thank you.

562
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 9: I often ask myself in the midst of stress or

563
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 9: too much going on, I say, wait a minute, what

564
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 9: does this count towards eternity? And then that helps me

565
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 9: we get back in the right mindset of whether it's

566
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 9: really that urgent or that important, or you know, I

567
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 9: can just think about.

568
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 1: It, you know, Rachel am Brown, welcome to the table.

569
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: I can remember interviewing people in their death experiences where

570
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: they died and maybe came back, and so many of

571
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: them would say, you know, when you get a heavenly perspective,

572
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: you understand that some of the things that you think

573
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: are really important on earth aren't nearly as important as

574
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: some other things are.

575
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 3: And so yeah, and I think sometimes it can be difficult,

576
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 3: especially for people that are like in the here and

577
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,479
Speaker 3: now and focusing on what's right in front of them.

578
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 3: But it's so important that as believers we live with

579
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 3: an eternal perspective. And whenever someone you love goes on

580
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 3: to be with the Lord. I think it becomes a

581
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 3: little bit more clear. And so I know for us,

582
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 3: like when Dad passed away, it was just like this

583
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 3: new like fervor and just passion. Yeah, to just reach

584
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 3: as many people as we could. And that's what we're

585
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,040
Speaker 3: continuing to do and honor him and his life. I

586
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 3: see you and continuing on.

587
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that that is that's something that we

588
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: all hope for. And Dorothy, I want to hear well done.

589
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: I mean I'm sure I missed it, but I want

590
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: to hear well done. Oh. I do jinus so much.

591
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 8: You know, I think of you know, God, the beginning

592
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 8: of life, God at the end, and in between this

593
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 8: dash and this if. The dash is living life as

594
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 8: preparation for eternity, because I want that reward more than anything.

595
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 8: So the focus is here, The focus is looking here

596
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 8: forever to just be with him forever.

597
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: That's such a beautiful thing.

598
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 8: And sometimes with life life seems so chaotic, but we

599
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 8: can't lose focus because that's the ultimate reward.

600
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: God is the ultimate reward. That's true. Cindy Johnson, well done,

601
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: good and faithful servant.

602
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 4: Oh do I want to hear that that song.

603
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: Oh, I want to see we always think give it

604
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: a song, Yeah, we always do, but I do.

605
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 4: I want him to look at me and see things

606
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 4: in my life that really mattered. I think I do

607
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 4: a lot of things probably that don't really matter. But

608
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 4: I love the fact that we're focusing on this today,

609
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,719
Speaker 4: that we need to do better. Yeah, and be more

610
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 4: intentional about how we live our lives and the impact

611
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 4: that we have, because that's what matters.

612
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: That true, It's true. And you, as a pastor's wife,

613
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: I have seen you so unselfishly give of yourself to

614
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: people over and over and over. And I know that

615
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: you will hear well done one day because you've always

616
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: had that heart. Dan Steiner, Welcome to the table.

619
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:38,400

Speaker 7: Right here.

621
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 10: It's the most important part of our lives. If you asked,

622
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 10: ninety nine percent of the people, like all of you,

623
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 10: what they want to hear the first words Jesus say

624

Speaker 10: Ruler over many. Enter into the joy of your Master.

628

00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 10: Jesus say you were good and faithful, and then you've

631
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 10: been faithful.

632
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 7: Just a few things ruler over many. Yeah, wow, I.

633
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: Want to talk about that. I want to talk about

634
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: what the rewards because we don't talk a lot about that.

635
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 1: You know, life's goal isn't just salvation. That's the most

636
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: important prayer you could pray is to invite Jesus into

637
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: your heart right now and say, Jesus, I know you

638
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: died on the cross for me. I'm a sinner, and

639
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: I'm asking you to forgive me. Come into my heart

640
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: right now, forgive me. That's the most important prayer. Okay, salvation,

641
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: But beyond that, okay, I mean if you've prayed that prayer.

642
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: Some of you haven't, I pray you just prayed it.

643
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: But it's also faithfulness until the end. And of course

644
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: dan Steiner has devoted his life to helping others do

645
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: just that. He's here to show us how to live

646
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: in a way that honors God now and secures the

647
00:33:54,760 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: eternal rewards he's promised. You know, we are eternal beings

648
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: that were created to live forever. So at the time

649
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,879
Speaker 1: that a sperm and an egg meet, an eternal soul

650
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:17,839
Speaker 1: is created. Okay, and so we can't be we're indestructible.

651
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: A lot of people don't. But we've been placed in time. Okay,

652
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: we're in time. God isn't in time. He sees time past, present,

653
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 1: futures simultaneously. But we've been placed in time. And so

654
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 1: this is the Bible says. It's really I mean some

655
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: I've heard some people say this life is just a

656
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 1: stepping stone to the life to come right. But we

657
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: want to be faithful in time.

658
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 9: Because this life is so important. It determines where we'll

659
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 9: spend eternity.

660
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, we know we're going to spend eternity

661
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: with the Lord, but we will be judged for the

662
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 1: gifts and calling that God has put on the inside

663
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: of his those that allow those to be surrendered to

664
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 1: Him and used by Him for this season, for this time.

665
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: I think that that's important for people to hear that

666
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: and understand, not just to get in by the hair

667
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 1: of your change engine or pray on your deathbed. Yeah

668
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: you'll go to heaven, but beyond that, people will be

669
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: rewarded for their obedience and their faithfulness. And you kind

670
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: of caught a glimpse of.

671
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 10: That right that's right there in scripture, and I wish

672
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 10: it was portrayed more openly and frequently in our churches.

673
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,280
Speaker 10: That will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ

674
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 10: to be of account for the deeds done in the body,

675
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,320
Speaker 10: whether good or evil, says in Second Corinthians five. And

676
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 10: that judgment will be a judgment by the presence of God,

677
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 10: which is in the.

678
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 7: Form of a fire.

679
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,240
Speaker 10: Then our works will either be gold, silver, or precious stones,

680
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,800
Speaker 10: or wood, hay and stubble. And the day will determine,

681
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,879
Speaker 10: it says, what sort or what manner of work they are.

682
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 10: And the apostle Paul precedes that passage with what really qualifies,

683
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 10: because what's the difference, you know, an eternity between wood

684
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,399
Speaker 10: hay and stubble, which you don't want to be, and gold,

685
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 10: silver and precious stones.

686
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 7: What you do well?

687
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 10: Paul says before he says and describes the beaming seat

688
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 10: of Christ's the judgment seat, the rewards seat of Christ.

689
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 10: This is in the seat about condemnation or the bad

690
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,240
Speaker 10: things you've done. Jesus took care of that at Cavalry.

691
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 7: Now you're in.

692
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,879
Speaker 10: Now, your existence for a billion years on the first

693
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 10: day for a timeless eternity are going to be determined

694
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 10: by what you have done. And it's relevance to what

695
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 10: Paul said, I built it. I've laid a foundation another

696
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 10: man that's us, and woman builds on it, and no

697
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 10: other man, no other foundation can be laid except.

698
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 7: That which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.

699
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know, I wanted to just qualify that

700
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,760
Speaker 1: by saying that for people watching. We think about Billy Graham.

701
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 1: Obviously he had gold, you know, he had like I mean,

702
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 1: I'm sure he heard well done. He was a surrendered

703
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: life that won millions of people to Jesus. Okay, But

704
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,879
Speaker 1: I think what we're looking for here, more than anything else,

705
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: is your obedience to allow God to use you. Whether

706
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: that's a mother who's raising five amazing children that gives

707
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 1: her all and is obedient to train them up and

708
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: they go on and do great things, She's going to

709
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,839
Speaker 1: get just as much a reward as a Billy Grahm

710
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: or someone else. It doesn't mean the bastness of what

711
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 1: you do or how many souls you win it's more

712
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: about being obedient with the gifts and callings that God

713
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,399
Speaker 1: is placed on the inside of you. So if you're

714
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: obedient to that, if you're faithful to that, then you're

715
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: going to receive the same reward. I think that's important

716
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: because some people think, oh, I could never, you know,

717
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: be Billy Grammer or I could never do that, and

718
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: they almost be like, mine's going to be stubble. No,

719
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 1: it's not. It's about obedience, isn't it. It is.

720
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 10: In fact, Jesus said, he said, as many of these

721
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 10: give one cup of cool water, will not lose in

722
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 10: my name, will not lose your reward.

723
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 7: It doesn't have to be something complex. Nobody is.

724
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 10: You only keep looking at preachers. They actually don't win

725
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 10: a lot of souls to Christ. But that mother that

726
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,800
Speaker 10: raises all of her family to be preachers and to

727
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 10: be God fearing people, while her reward gives them selfishly.

728
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: Who cooks breakfast, lunch? And I think about my mom.

729
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: She was so unselfish to just love all of us.

730
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,479
Speaker 1: She raised me, you know, but I mean she would

731
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: get up and make breakfast, go to work, come home,

732
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 1: make dinner. I mean it was just amazing. And I

733
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: look at you know, her children and the fruit that

734
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 1: she has from that as well. So you said, it's

735
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: really important to make the distinction between salvation by grace

736
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 1: that's really given you all. Yes, Jesus did it on

737
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 1: the cross. You don't have to work for that. There

738
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: are so many other religions that you have to work

739
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 1: your way to heaven. Not with Christianity. Jesus did it all.

740
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: But we're talking today about rewards by works after you

741
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: have made it to heaven. Okay, because it's like we

742
00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: don't hear a lot of talk about that. Just expound

743
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 1: on it a little bit more. The secret to securing

744
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 1: heaven's rewards.

745
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 10: Jesus said, blessed to those who die in the Lord

746
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 10: from now on, and their works do follow them, And

747
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 10: so we can't actually take something in heaven. And that's

748
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 10: the self sacrificial life that we live, like.

749
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 7: You've described with your mother and those works.

750
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 10: Jesus said, behold, I come quickly, and my reward is

751
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 10: with me to give unto everyone according to what they

752
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 10: have done. And so we've got two things happening here.

753
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 10: We've got the work of Calvary and Christ dying for

754
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 10: our sins. And as you said Jony at the beginning

755
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 10: of our program. Here, if you've not made that profession,

756
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:36,800
Speaker 10: that's the most important decision you can never make in

757
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 10: your life.

758
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,800
Speaker 7: That gets you in we want to be in. But

759
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 7: then the works in the life that you lived will

760
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:45,280
Speaker 7: be rewarded.

761
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 10: And there's a magnificence set of escalatingly great rewards elucidated

762
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 10: in the Book of Revelation that are just beyond our

763
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 10: mind to even conceive of the magnificence of an.

764
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 7: Extravagant govin God does everything. He does it really big.

765
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,439
Speaker 10: Look at the expand universe, the Pacific Ocean, and think

766
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 10: of the kind of rewards that He can give us

767
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 10: for just being faithful, good and faithful servant in our lives.

768
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 10: A few of those rewards, you know, you get to

769
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 10: eat if the Tree of Life. We got kind of

770
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 10: kicked out back in the garden from eating of that

771
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:22,359
Speaker 10: thing first. Yeah, thanks, yeah, But now we get because

772
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 10: of the second atom, to eat the tree again. To

773
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,399
Speaker 10: have your name that book bladed out of the Book

774
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 10: of Life, to walk with him and wife, have an

775
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 10: introduction to the Father and his angels, your name confessed

776
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 10: before the Father and his angels, to rule over the

777
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 10: nations to inherit all things. These are promises, just like

778
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 10: any other promise in the Word of God to those

779
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:50,320
Speaker 10: who overcome in this life. The worries and riches and

780
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,280
Speaker 10: cares of our life, particularly in the Western culture, kind.

781
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:57,359
Speaker 7: Of eat away at our focus on what our true

782
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 7: calling is.

783
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 10: Whether it's a mother, whether it's here a faithful worker

784
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 10: in the workplace, whether whatever God has called you to

785
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 10: in your air of responsibility to be faithful to who

786
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:08,240
Speaker 10: you are in Christ.

787
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 3: That's always asking what specifically do believers have to do

788
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:14,240
Speaker 3: in order to get certain rewards.

789
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 10: I mean, the Lord says it both in the Parable

790
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 10: of the Talents and the parable of the Mina. The

791
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 10: ones that brought increase were the ones that heard the

792
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,320
Speaker 10: words well done, good and faithful servant. The ones that

793
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 10: didn't bring increase, not so much.

794
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:31,800
Speaker 1: Increases. Every time you lead.

795
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:33,800
Speaker 7: Someone to Jesus, That's exactly that's it.

796
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,840
Speaker 1: Every time you preach the Gospel. Yes, that's increased.

797
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,280
Speaker 10: Yes, yeah, that's the best form I think of increase.

798
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,399
Speaker 10: The last words of our captain and commander Jesus Christ,

799
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 10: before he rocketed off the earth like iron man, I

800
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 10: think on the mount of Ascension, his last words, Ye,

801
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:53,439
Speaker 10: that's you and me will be my witnesses. It says

802
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 10: in the parable that the master's going away into a

803
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 10: far country, which is a symbolic of Jesus. Right, And

804
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 10: he called servants to him, gave one, five, one, two

805
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 10: and one one, and then he left immediately, which Jesus did.

806
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 10: And then when he came back after a long time,

807
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 10: it's been a while, right, he called his servants into account,

808
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 10: and the one that had five and the one that

809
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 10: had two doubled it. And those are the ones that heard,

810
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 10: well done, good and faithful servant.

811
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 1: That goes against like the political narrative that we hear today.

812
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 1: It's like you should the one that went out and multiplied,

813
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 1: we should steal from him and give to the one

814
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:31,319
Speaker 1: that buried. But it's totally against a biblical principle. That's

815
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: not the way Jesus looked at it.

816
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 10: Just like I would say all if the they say progressive,

817
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 10: I would say digressive, you know political side that is

818
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 10: against capitalism and all the good things that God has

819
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 10: really put in order. There's biblical basis to the Jaio

820
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 10: Christian ethic behind our country and the reason that God

821
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 10: has blessed it it's all biblical. Yeah so, but it

822
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 10: is based on increase. To answer your question, it's about

823
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 10: us bringing increase with our lives, with the things that

824
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 10: God have given us. Now, this talent that he gave

825
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 10: to each of his servants was no small thing. It

826
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 10: was like twenty years of labors, like monetarily one point

827
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 10: six million dollars, really being symbolic of I'm giving.

828
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:14,840
Speaker 7: You a life here, were going to do that? Gonna?

829
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:16,320
Speaker 7: Are you going to increase it? Are you going to

830
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 7: you know, let the worries of riches and cares, you know,

831
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:19,919
Speaker 7: bigger house, bigger boat, bigger whatever.

832
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 10: Or how about you know your unsafe relatives, how about

833
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 10: your unsafe co workers? How about you know the next

834
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 10: person that you meet on the street. You know, our

835
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 10: life is full of daily opportunities.

836
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 2: I have a question, what's your take on living your

837
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:37,359
Speaker 2: best life now versus living your best life forever? Because

838
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 2: we all want to live our best life now.

839
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 1: But what's your take? I see you contrast it.

840
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 10: So one is about you know, being the best we

841
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 10: can be here on earth. The other is about laying

842
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,799
Speaker 10: up what Jesus commanded, She said, do not lay up

843
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 10: treasures on earth where moth and rest corrupt and thieves

844
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 10: break in. She'll be mindful about doing things that will

845
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:58,799
Speaker 10: live on beyond you into eternity, and that will echo

846
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 10: throughout the years are passing into heaven. Is the birthday

847
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 10: of our eternity. It was said by Jim Elliott. He

848
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 10: is no fool, right, that gives up what he cannot

849
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 10: keep to gain what he cannot lose.

850
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:17,400
Speaker 1: And he's the missionary right right. Tell his story.

851
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 10: Yeah, so it's a magnificent story where he's in the

852
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 10: lap of wealth and societal recognition and leaves all of

853
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 10: that to go to this cannibalistic try to deep people,

854
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 10: you know, to evangelize them. And you know they worked

855
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 10: for years, you know, dropping things to them and him

856
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 10: three or four other guys, and the day came when

857
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 10: they felt like they had gained their affection, and so

858
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 10: they landed the plane and they're there on the beach

859
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 10: and they didn't gain there.

860
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:48,720
Speaker 7: They spared them to death. Instead, they gave their lives

861
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 7: to reach the wives.

862
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 10: Went back, yeah, Elizabeth Elliott several years later and won

863
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 10: them to Christ. And you know it's really that amazing,

864
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 10: this fantastic and you know, one of the guys that

865
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 10: was there when they killed Jim Elliott and the other

866
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:07,359
Speaker 10: guys years later after you'd been saved, as the story goes,

867
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:07,800
Speaker 10: and see.

868
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 7: If I can get it pretty close here.

869
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 10: They played a song during one of the programs and

870
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 10: he said, that was the song that I heard the

871
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:18,880
Speaker 10: angels sing that were in the trees when we were

872
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:19,720
Speaker 10: killing those guys.

873
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 7: Oh wow, Like this guy actually saw and heard angels

874
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 7: while there.

875
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 10: And the reason that was, I believe is because that

876
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,200
Speaker 10: was that back in the early nineteen hundreds, I think

877
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 10: really launched the modern missionary movement by these young, well

878
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:36,840
Speaker 10: healed young men giving up everything for Jesus.

879
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:37,880
Speaker 7: And launched the mission.

880
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 1: I just want to say that, you know, when you're

881
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 1: obedient to do what God has called you to do,

882
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,239
Speaker 1: whether that's to be a teacher or a lawyer, whether

883
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 1: it's to be a doctor or nurse, whatever that is,

884
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that you're going to have to leave

885
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:55,240
Speaker 1: that and go be a missionary and be martyred. Okay,

886
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:59,320
Speaker 1: But that was Jim's story. I mean, he was called

887
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 1: to missions made a huge impact of which there's a

888
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 1: movie made on it. Everything so and such a great,

889
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: great story, but it's so important Cindy to understand that

890
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,320
Speaker 1: when we connect with the one who created us in

891
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 1: this lifetime in time, because we're in time right now,

892
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 1: we're not always going to be in time. Eternity is

893
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 1: a long time, folks, a long long time. But while

894
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: we're here, that we be obedient to what He's called

895
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:29,320
Speaker 1: us to do, and that can be a myriad of

896
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:30,319
Speaker 1: so many different things.

897
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:34,800
Speaker 4: I was thinking about my husband and the impact that

898
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 4: he is having he's a pastor, and that God has

899
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 4: allowed us to do. But it started with two women

900
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:44,320
Speaker 4: and fort Worth that had a home. They were both widowed,

901
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:47,400
Speaker 4: and they decided they asked God what they could do,

902
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 4: and he said, give me your home. So they opened

903
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 4: up their home to men and for earth that would

904
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 4: They would give them room and board, but they prayed

905
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 4: that if they didn't accept Jesus within six months, they

906
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 4: move out. And one of those men was my father

907
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:06,880
Speaker 4: in law. And they gave what they had. They were

908
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 4: obedient to the Lord. And it's not always about just

909
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 4: preaching the gospel. And then the father in law, would

910
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:14,440
Speaker 4: you call the ministry? Yes, and he would have a

911
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 4: son that would be called the ministry, and his grandsons

912
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 4: were in ministry his daughter was like history.

913
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 1: But there were like.

914
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 4: Fifteen I believe fifteen to twenty men that came out

915
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 4: of that house in Fort Worth that went into full

916
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 4: time ministry. So think of the multiplication of what that

917
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:34,840
Speaker 4: one decision that those.

918
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 1: Women make, those two women, that's that's given to their

919
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 1: account given you don't understand people don't understand it. They

920
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 1: were actually ones who preaching, but it's laid to their account.

921
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 3: Really, I mean, what we're talking about here is legacy.

922
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 1: How important a god?

923
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, this is the opportunity that's unique to

924
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 10: the Christians that we can do things that will not

925
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 10: only last in our lifetime, but beyond their lifetime and

926
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:05,760
Speaker 10: then into eternity. And as you've said, we're all created

927
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 10: at the moment of creation as an eternal soul and

928
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 10: will live forever either in heaven or not in heaven.

929
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:17,479
Speaker 10: And we as Christians, if we had like this little

930
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 10: pill box and it was a cure to a deadly disease,

931
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 10: every time, it kills every time, it's even worse than

932
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:27,279
Speaker 10: the Corona hoax that we have the cure to.

933
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 5: It's called the gospel.

934
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 10: Everybody's got the disease, and it's called sin. And we

935
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 10: have that opportunity to give that to people. The Christian

936
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 10: life is action. Is not a debating or an academic exercise,

937
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 10: but it is a doing. There's only one thing and

938
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 10: one thing on this earth that has eternity stamped on it.

939
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 10: Thoughts pass away, resolves and opinions change. But what we

940
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 10: do for Jesus Christ and that only we will be

941
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:02,320
Speaker 10: for eternity legacy. And we can then plant that legacy

942
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 10: through those through the Gospel and other people that.

943
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:08,400
Speaker 1: Lives on for eternity. I think the important thing here

944
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:13,839
Speaker 1: is also to note that God will never override free will,

945
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 1: so he gives us a choice. Yes, he paid the

946
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:21,280
Speaker 1: price for our sins by sending his son down the cross,

947
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:23,879
Speaker 1: And that's what we're talking about the gospel, Like, it's

948
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:27,400
Speaker 1: free gift. Why in the world would you not receive

949
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 1: it and just allow God to do a tremendous work

950
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:32,800
Speaker 1: in your life. That's what he wants to do. But

951
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 1: if you did pray that prayer and invite Jesus in,

952
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 1: I think so important to get a Bible and a

953
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 1: Bible that you can understand. But we would love to

954
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:46,239
Speaker 1: send you the Book of John as a way to

955
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:49,720
Speaker 1: start and if you prayed that prayer, if you invited

956
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 1: Jesus in, if you don't read the Bible. If you haven't,

957
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 1: this is the perfect time for you to call that number,

958
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 1: and we're going to send you the Book of John Well.

959
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 1: We're going to talk more with Dan's when we come back.

960
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 1: They're right there. Some books deserve to be held, cherished, remembered.

961
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 1: This one is more than that. It's a place to

962
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 1: meet God. The New Bible and Journal Bundle is designed

968
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:40,640
Speaker 1: They've almost like come under a little conviction because they're like,

969
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 1: you know, I haven't really asked the Lord what I'm

970
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 1: supposed to be doing. I'm just kind of doing my

971
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:47,479
Speaker 1: own thing. But I love Jesus. It's ever too late

972
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 1: to begin again or to start moving into what God

973
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:55,239
Speaker 1: has to put on the inside of you that maybe

974
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:56,439
Speaker 1: you haven't even realized yet.

975
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 5: Good question.

976
00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:00,400
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's really true. And I think the fact that

977
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:03,840
Speaker 10: you're listening right now is indicating. And if there's that

978
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:06,799
Speaker 10: convition that God is giving you that opportunity to begin

979
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:09,759
Speaker 10: afresh and anew in your life. This is not an

980
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 10: accident that you're listening to this program is an appointment

981
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 10: by God for you to say, you know, what has

982
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:16,839
Speaker 10: God given into my care?

983
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 7: Who are those that God has called me to love

984
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:19,840
Speaker 7: into the kingdom?

985
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 10: And there's always an opportunity to start God honors of

986
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 10: repentant heart, for sure, and so it's never too late

987
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:31,279
Speaker 10: to start living that life of purpose and that life

988
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:35,320
Speaker 10: if you feel that small tug in your spirit to

989
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:39,360
Speaker 10: make some changes, that's why you're listening to the program today,

990
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 10: And it's the Holy Spirit. He wants you to be

991
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,400
Speaker 10: all that He's called you to be, because the destiny

992
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:46,400
Speaker 10: of those that you love and those that you around

993
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 10: may very well hang on your obedience. And so this

994
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 10: isn't about condemnation Jesus taking care of that.

995
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:52,680
Speaker 7: It's not about that.

996
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 10: It's all about the destiny that He has called you

997
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:57,080
Speaker 10: to and God's.

998
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 7: Call on your life and those that you have the

999
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 7: opportune unity to influence.

1000
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 1: All right, quickly, well done, this is the book. Everyone

1001
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 1: needs to get it. Such a great read, Lee Strobel said, informative, inspiring,

1002
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:11,920
Speaker 1: and encouraging. But you talk about in the last chapter

1003
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:15,640
Speaker 1: a one week gospel assignment. We challenge everyone with that.

1004
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 2: What is that?

1005
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:22,839
Speaker 7: Well, we are daring everyone to make a bold prayer

1006
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:23,359
Speaker 7: to the Lord.

1007
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 1: And Rachel likes dares. By the way.

1008
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 7: Okay, here you go, Rachel.

1009
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:30,279
Speaker 10: You know, say this, Lord, the next person you send

1010
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 10: into my life, make sure it's the person you want

1011
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 10: me to witness and talk about Jesus. Whether it's the

1012
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 10: person you come to in the parking lot and your

1013
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 10: way out to the car, the person at the salon,

1014
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,360
Speaker 10: you know, the person at a restaurant that serves you.

1015
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:45,440
Speaker 10: Believe that God has sent that person into your life.

1016
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:47,719
Speaker 10: If we live a life of purpose. You know, my

1017
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 10: favorite verse I shall have.

1018
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 7: Got more than one.

1019
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:52,320
Speaker 10: Don't tell anybody, but one of them is actually thirteen

1020
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:56,280
Speaker 10: thirty six, which says David after he fulfilled God's purpose

1021
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:58,920
Speaker 10: and his generation was laid to rest with his father's

1022
00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 10: less parts more. But the first part's really awesome that

1023
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:03,960
Speaker 10: you know he had a purpose for David and he

1024
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:07,239
Speaker 10: fulfilled that purpose. Which have that purpose and God is

1025
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:10,880
Speaker 10: sending people into each of our lives today to witness

1026
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:15,600
Speaker 10: to and for them to live forever. We've got the

1027
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:19,240
Speaker 10: secret of eternity, the secret that people can live forever.

1028
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:21,239
Speaker 7: Why would we not want to share that?

1029
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:24,439
Speaker 1: And can you imagine if everyone were to pray that prayer,

1030
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 1: every Christian say, Okay, the next person you send, yes,

1031
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 1: I'm just going to believe it's the person I need

1032
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:34,279
Speaker 1: to tell about you. Well, we just had revival, we

1033
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:37,400
Speaker 1: would and the gates of heaven would celebrate. And again,

1034
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:40,320
Speaker 1: you know, those relate to our account, those that plant

1035
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 1: the seed, those that water it, those those that see

1036
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:47,800
Speaker 1: it grow and reap the fruit from it. It's a collective.

1037
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:51,920
Speaker 1: It's a collective kind of opportunity that we have. And

1038
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:54,800
Speaker 1: we have to understand that. You know, it's okay that

1039
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 1: even if we witness to that person, maybe they don't

1040
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 1: receive Jesus at that point. Maybe they're like, you know,

1041
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 1: I'm not really readier. But that shouldn't keep you from

1042
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 1: planning the seeds, right, because I hear so many stories

1043
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 1: about well this person said this, I said no, and

1044
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:12,880
Speaker 1: then I thought about it, and then they prayed the

1045
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:16,799
Speaker 1: prayer later, right, So don't be discouraged if you don't

1046
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:18,359
Speaker 1: get a win on that first one.

1047
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:19,399
Speaker 7: Right, That's really true.

1048
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:23,279
Speaker 10: At the very beginning, I've already talked about the gold, silver,

1049
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 10: and precious stones. He says, I sowed another water. But

1050
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:29,320
Speaker 10: God is the one that gave the increase. So we

1051
00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:31,920
Speaker 10: just have to be faithful with what He gives us

1052
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:34,439
Speaker 10: to sew. And you know, holy boldness is a great

1053
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:37,920
Speaker 10: thing to be able to be thinking on purpose in

1054
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:41,800
Speaker 10: our lives in every situation. That life short and God's

1055
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:44,880
Speaker 10: bringing us into this opportunity for his specific purpose and

1056
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:45,880
Speaker 10: for his timing.

1057
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:49,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, we are out of time, but I want

1058
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:53,440
Speaker 1: you to remember think about living your life with the

1059
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:56,680
Speaker 1: eternity of mind. And you heard what I said. We

1060
00:54:56,840 --> 00:55:01,719
Speaker 1: were all created to live forever. We're living in time,

1061
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:05,200
Speaker 1: but there is an eternity beyond time, and when we

1062
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:08,520
Speaker 1: die we will face Eternity is a long long time,

1063
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 1: and we want to bring glory to God in advance

1064
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:15,120
Speaker 1: his kingdom on the earth. And so I want you

1065
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:17,720
Speaker 1: to really think about what we've talked about, Stay faithfu,

1066
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:21,719
Speaker 1: stay focused, keep saying yes to sharing the Gospel with

1067
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 1: those around you. Some of you have been challenging, like

1068
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:26,799
Speaker 1: with some family members you're just like I just don't

1069
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:29,360
Speaker 1: really want to listen. There's a way to talk about

1070
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 1: it and be kind and loving and again just plant

1071
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:34,160
Speaker 1: that seed. You know, maybe you can just pray with them.

1072
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 1: Is there anything I can pray with you about it?

1073
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 1: Just the Holy Spirit can give you an open door.

1074
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 1: And the more you do it, the better you get

1075
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:43,840
Speaker 1: at it right because some people are shy, you know.

1076
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:47,440
Speaker 1: But you know again, God will bring the right people

1077
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 1: across your path and you may be the person that's

1078
00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:51,960
Speaker 1: really going to share the gospel with them. Well, if
