Summary
This evening "Jesus Saves" outreach service gathered the church to encourage one another and to keep its eyes on those who do not yet know Christ. Several brothers and sisters shared, and the central message, brought by a young brother from 1 Kings 22, asked one searching question: where do we place our faith? When two kings sought guidance, four hundred prophets told them what they wanted to hear, but only one true prophet, Micaiah, spoke the word of the Lord. We face the same choice every day at school, at work, among crowds who pressure us to drop our convictions.
Just as King Ahab disguised himself in battle and was struck by a "random" arrow, we are tempted to hide the royal robes of our salvation when we step into the world. Yet God stays faithful to the faithful, and He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (the message also leaned on Deuteronomy 20, where the Lord goes with His people into battle). A poem drawn from James 1 pictured the gospel as a mirror: we must not merely hear the word and forget our own face, but let Christ exchange our stained garments for His purity and keep returning to the mirror of His Word.
The service then overflowed into testimony from street evangelism in Tarpon Springs and Clearwater - tracts handed out like seeds, the cross carried through the crowds, some people rejecting and some receiving. Matthew 16:26 reminded everyone that gaining the whole world is worthless if we lose our soul, while a closing word from Genesis 26 and John 4 likened the gospel to wells of living water that the enemy tries to stop up but that we are called to keep digging open for thirsty souls.
Key Points
- Do not follow the crowd of four hundred voices; place your faith in the one true God who speaks the truth.
- God stays faithful to those who stay faithful to Him, for He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
- Salvation is the royal robe we wear; do not disguise it when you step into school, work, or the world.
- Be a doer of the Word, not just a hearer who looks in the mirror and forgets his own face.
- Christ takes our stained garments and gives us His purity: it is finished, go and sin no more.
- What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Souls are the focus.
- Carry the gospel to the streets like wells of living water; the enemy stops the wells, but we keep digging them open.
Devotional
Today you will stand among many voices - friends, classmates, coworkers - and most will tell you what is easy to hear. Like Jehoshaphat, ask whether there is still a true word from the Lord, and find the courage to trust it even when you stand alone. Wear the robe of your salvation openly, and do not slip into the disguise of the crowd. Before you rush back out the door, look long into the mirror of God's Word and let Him make you a doer and not only a hearer. Then go and share the living water freely, for it cost you nothing and a thirsting soul may already be waiting.
Where do you put your faith - in four hundred voices, or in the one true King?
Salvation is the royal robe we wear; do not disguise it when you step into the world.
What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul?

it starts here it starts tonight it will continue in eternity and Jesus sent His disciples and then when they come back and they was just report to Jesus and to whole group what was late what they teach and what they had done I think it's a moment right now after the worship tonight when we can just encourage one another what Jesus did in your life through this week I think the last time we met is like this it was a month ago right so welcome back again for one of the evening services outreach we truly truly praying and fasting here and there for a night like tonight will make the difference difference not in our lives only but most important in the lives of those who didn't know the Jesus I would like to encourage with this words to be open if you have to share what jesus done today is a time today is the moment right now that's God's glory will be in this house can we say Amen on this yes I would like to just invite probably Benjamin in he will probably open up night was whatever it's on his heart and they just we just be in this mode to presence of God if you feel strongly God put in your heart to share and we be blessings for tonight just let us know somehow thank you it's great to see everyone here today and I just want to encourage again and again sometimes I was speaking with a few brothers and sisters and you know the topic comes up when we have these evangelical services you know we see the amount of work maybe the prayers that we put in we're here to outreach you know to everyone who can hear it's like pastor Peter was saying to everybody around us we invite all of our neighbors and it's sometimes it can be discouraging to you know to put in so much effort and not see the reward here today but I'd like to encourage you that God he always says to be faithful with the small and we will all always be given more than we so in if we do it for God's kingdom and that's what we do here tonight I wanted to share personally what God's been speaking to me I was reading from the book of first kings I didn't know the I've read through it before but I really found part in that that was really encouraging and actually pretty cool for me just to read it it was quite interesting it's gonna be the last chapter of first king so it's the first Kings chapter 22 and to give you an outline of what goes on is there's two Kings that come together and it's the King King Ahab as well as King I am my butcher am I not just so fat I'm gonna call him Jehoshaphat that's what I'm gonna say if I'm singing it wrong I'm sorry but these two kings they came together and they realized that they have a common enemy and that the enemy should be you know taking care of and dealt with they wanted to go to war and so they came together these two kings and they said hey listen we're we're both friends we both have a common interest let us go out and take this and go to war with them and take everything that they have and so when we actually had this Bible study with Sunday School class that last a couple days ago and it was I mean the the topics that we talked about there can be transferred I think to all of our lives especially for those of us you know who are going to school quite soon and you saw they they had this idea in mind that they wanted to take take over this other city and that sometimes you know with us sometimes we'll find friends in life we have the same common interest and from there we think you know if well if I'm wrong then God was like if I'm not like if I'm blinded and I don't know the truth I'm with a friend you know he's definitely going to be God will speak through him if it's a wrong idea like this you know maybe they were thinking well if one of the Kings is off the second one we'll you know guide him and balance him but it's funny because both of them were blinded from the truth from what God wanted them to do and so what they did was they called all of their prophets together and they called a large amount of them like it doesn't say the numbers here but it's definitely more than two or three and it's interesting because with all of those prophets they were given the knowledge and they were given the truth saying you know going to war and God will God will give you victory but they in reason let me try to find it real quick and so even so they so the king of Israel this is verse 6 so the king of Israel brought together the prophets about 400 men sorry there actually is a number 400 men and asked them shall I go to war against Ramnath khalid or shall i refrain go the answer for the Lord will give into the Kings hand but Joseph I asked is there no longer a prophet of the Lord whom where we can inquire of now it's interesting because he was given the confirmation from 400 personas you know to say go into war and even after being revealed that information you know even after giving that the what I'm trying to talk about here today is faith I forgot too that was supposed to be my introduction see we're all surrounded in a world of faith everywhere we go where we're involved in faith like if you set your alarm I always really stress about if I have an exam or have to be somewhere I put an alarm and I might do two or three because I don't have faith in the first one you know like you you you hope you're gonna wake up but then again like you pull your faith into that alarm you might miss that exam just and the same way even when we're walking you know every step that we take we have faith is become so accustomed to us that we have that we don't really think about it but every time you know gravity works it's even simple things like that but it taking a more larger scale even spiritually the things the battles that we have that we face we have to put our faith into something you know we have to figure out where does our faith line and so even going back to the story even though Josaphat he was given four hundred men they all said you know go for it this is you this is your war you're gonna win even after being told that he said is there no longer a prophet of God among us like even like we know when God speaks to us and I feel like King Joseph it here says he knew being told all of those you know all the false prophets he knew something was wrong so reading on later they brought out they found a prophet Micah Micaiah Micaiah Micah I'm not sure in Russian it kind of sounds like t-shirt but Micah is the Prophet that they that they called out and when they come when they called him out is interesting you can read I would I'm going skipping a lot through this chapter but after this it's advisable to read this because you can get a lot from it first Kings chapter 22 so they call over Micah Micah and they say hey listen um the king wants to speak to your a prophet every 400 men before you have already said that it's a good idea to go to war so make sure your answer lines up and I started thinking about that like how often is that I found myself in school the same way you know you go to a place where you're surrounded 400 maybe persons around you and they're saying you know this is a good thing you know like drop your morals Christianity this and that just don't listen to that go with us put your faith in us and we all have that choice every day when we step to for school for example when we step there and people are always attacking our morals or our Christian beliefs Christian values we all have that choice to either put our faith in God's promise or put our faith into the people and Micah he said let me read exactly what he says they say that he is the one prophet who still inquires of the Lord one second the messenger who had gone to summon Micah has said to him look the other prophets without exception are predicting success for the King like your word agree with theirs and speak favorably but Micra said as surely as the Lord lives I can tell him only what the Lord tells me when he arrived the king asked him Micah shall we go to war against Ramnath khalid or not attack and be victorious he answered for the Lord will give it into your Kings hand the king said unto Him so the King knew it's interesting - I'm sorry I'm getting lost breezing myself up here the king said unto Him how many times must uh okay so attack and be victorious he answered before the Lord will give you into your Kings hand the king said to him how many times must I make you swear to tell me nothing but the truth in the name of the Lord then Micah answered I saw all Israel scattered on the hills like sheep without a shepherd and the Lord said these people have no master like each one go home in peace the king of Israel said to justify didn't I tell you that he never prophesizes anything good about me but only bad now this is also a key feature to point out first off he knew when he was lying he knew from the beginning you know the Kings knew what they had to do but they chose not to they were given many chances they said hey is there a four hundred prophets said yo go for it and they knew that wasn't it they called for the prophet of God prophet of God came he said to lie he lied to them and they saw that lied clear out and they said just tell us what you know what God really is telling us when he told when Micah told Kings exactly what God had said one of them one of the kings said isn't it see it's always like this I always ask for the answer and it's always given a negative one from Micah and it's sometimes in our lives too we always ask for answers maybe for problem with the problems that we have maybe before just you know questions about funny whatever it may be we're always asking for this and when God gives us that answer we already think to herself see I always know whenever I come to God whenever I try to put my faith it's always something negative we shudder we sure got out before we can even before we can even you know allow him to work in our lives so it's transfers also to our personal lives and so she says didn't I tell you that he never prophesized anything good about me but only bad the Kings minds were already shot to what God was trying to tell them Micah continued therefore hear the word of the Lord I saw the Lord sitting on a throne with all the multitude of heaven standing around him on the right on his right hand on his left and the Lord said cool and entice a hab into attacking Ramnath Khalid and going to his death there once suggested this and another that finally a spirit came forward stood before the Lord and said I will entice him by what means the Lord asked I will go out and be a deceiving spirit in the mouths of all his prophets he said you will succeed in enticing him said the Lord go and do it and you see God tests us sometimes and but he always gives us a way out like he gave the true prophet of Micah and Michael was able to speak to the to the Kings to give them that sure truth but we always tend to as humans you know as lovers of the flesh no we always tend to go the more enticing around we always go we always want people to you know we're always looking to please people we're always looking to either please our parents we're always either looking please our teachers our pastors whoever may be but in the end of the day all of those things are good as long as they align with God's will at the end of the day the true person the true being that we should aim to please is God himself and so later on reading the Kings do decide to go into battle and a hab is actually it's interesting because you read on a hab decides to go into battle but he decides to to not wear his Kings robes because back in the day the Kings robes I'm kind of guessing at this point but back in the day the Kings robes you know they were a bright blue they were a bright red like you always see you always see all these things about Kings that they're always wearing bright colors but he decided to go in disguise so he went in disguise and it's interesting reading on through there is how the cheriya came full of soldiers and they were ready to murder him to kill him and he said and they were thinking is this the king he's dressed in civilian clothes and he was able to his life was spared they turned around and they went on you know to to war with other people not him and they spared his life what was interesting is to read that all on a random arrow was shot and as it was shot it went through the armor of the king it literally went right in between and you started thinking about it like what are the chances that a random shot not even aimed for him weighed soared through the air and actually pierced him and started causing him later on says that he bled out and it was it was a slow and painful death know that sometimes also transfers to our lives like we are we have the mark of God on us you know when we when we say that we are saved that when we say that you know Jesus is our Savior that's that's the mark that's the royal robes that we wear and whenever we go into you know maybe school or work wherever it is do we do we try to disguise ourselves do we try to take off these robes and we try to live as ways that not as a king would live you know maybe as a civilian to do things that are not called of God and in that way God always his promise always remains that you know those who are faithful to me I will be faithful to them but those you know we if we step out of God's blessing he allows things that shouldn't happen happen and the same thing God promised that in Deuteronomy to really quickly all read in Deuteronomy it's talking about how the I'll read it and it would be shorter Deuteronomy twenty verse one through four when you go to war against your enemies and see horses and chariots and an army greater than yours do not be afraid of them because the Lord your God who brought you out of Egypt will be with you when you are about to go into battle the priest shall come forward and address the army he shall say here o Israel today you are going into battle against your enemies do not be faint hearted and/or afraid do not be terrified or give way to panic before them for the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you a victory now the important thing to gather it from what I've said is where do we put our faith do we put it in the four hundred prophets the people our school that people at work the people that surround us that give us that false hope or do we put our faith in the one true king reading through this it says the victory will be given when we put our faith in God so this is a reminder for each and every one of us as we go through our lives as we go through different situations where do you put your faith do you put your faith in people that always change it says that God is the same as he was yesterday and today we'll be forever it more and that's the message that I'd like to encourage us is to check where our faith lies who are we faithful to and we can be surrounded by multitudes maybe four hundred four million four billion whatever it is the number doesn't matter we know that we have a true God that we can rely on and he's the one who gives us victory in our battles amen in kids camp I was able to be a counselor kids camp in Georgia for a week and it was blessed time you know it's it's interesting to see because seeing you know our kids here like a lot of us if not all are so blessed like our parents are so like just loving they love on us but seeing kids and it's Slavik kids too like it's it's people that are close to us you know it's they come once said that you know he's talking about and these are eight-year-olds I was with eight year olds and nine year olds and they're telling me how he's got two parents and how one of them he's got two moms one of the is that divorced and they're talking about kids at such a young traumatic young age are talking about such traumatic experiences he's talking about how he's you know abused by his brothers and it's not just you know picking and bickering it's really something that's like you know affecting the child where like he tears up and he'll bring it up to me like in the middle of a camp sometimes when you're supposed to be having fun you know having at a time of your life and this bothers kids I wasn't able to be at the older kids prayers because they separate the kids but I remember from last year the prayers were just absolutely phenomenal it really was able to feel God's presence really understand what God says you know that uh be like children when you come to me I really be is able to experience that firsthand because they don't have filters you know as we grow older we have altar calls we have hey what do you want to pray for pride gets in the way you know just maybe embarrassment but as children they have nothing they their hearts are completely open and they run up and they just pour out to God and God sees that he blesses that tremendously so it was a great blessing for both the kids for the counselors for everybody involved God's glory was there they learned a lot to learn two versus one girl completely learned some kids were struggling to learn the verse of the day and we had this girl her name was jasmine and she knew all five verses of the day and she got us a lot of points during the conversation so I'm glad glad about that but yeah so it's definitely definitely a blessed time a good way to give back amen any more questions by Lily I'm gonna advise this to Lily to share good stuff hello everybody so it was kind of like an open mic today and I thought I always wanted to share something but never anything really laid on my heart but today I remembered I wrote a poem a long time ago after I was at a Bible study with my friends and this word really hit home for me and I remember the next day I just wrote a whole poem about it and it's from the perspective of a girl just kind of what I was feeling in that moment and I'll read the passage that inspired this James chapter 1 verse 23 where if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror or he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like but the one who looks into the perfect law the law of Liberty and persevered being no hear who forgets but a doer who acts he will be blessed and his doing and I'm just gonna read the poem for you guys and hopefully it encourages you and edifies you there she looks in the mirror with everything looking perfect not a wrinkle or blemish on her she goes walking into the world with the wind of Pride following her confident she will not spot as she was in pearled the walks are difficult in her life trials and temptations that leave her with strife but still she goes walking into the world with the wind of Pride following her confident she will not spot as she was in Pearl finding a mirror to adorn her beauty spotless and pure was expected near the top of her head was a little dirty gasping for air thinking how can it be pondering I'll leave it to Wat I'll leave to wash it off but turning around she forgot after one two three but still she went walking into the world with the wind of pride following her forgetting she was stained and she wasn't in pearled the path was not easy and many times she did struggle adding more stains and becoming more wheezy finding a mirror to adorn her beauty spotless and pure was expected half of her face was all dirty struck in awe and surprised she thought a cloth will be fine too I bit off clean but those were just lies the impurities left on her face she would leave and forget disregarding how she looked in a disgrace she went walking into the world with the wind of pride following her thinking she was pure and as if she were in pearl but the Sun scorching heat and the thundering rains her walk became harder with her blistering feet self-assured she was spotless she kept walking on on the dirt roads how thoughtless finding a mirror to adorn her beauty spotless and pure was what she wanted but to her dismay her face was a pity her face was now covered in a mask of dirt confused and dismayed she cried and she hurt thinking how can it be she turned away from the mirror of truth wondering how can she become clean her hands now to her face as the tears are rolling on her cheats trying to wipe it all on her white lace looking down at what she had seen her pristine pure white lace was no longer clean baffled by her efforts of trying to make herself pure she cries even harder at the scene so obscure a hand on her shoulder with the slightest of touch as she looks up into the eyes of the beholder within a moment his clothes began to change from the purest white to a muddy brown transferring all her stains for his in exchange her hand he handed her a mirror into her palm holding it upright worried what she'll see the dirt and the impurities were all gone astounded and amazed she looked she took a breath of relief she asked the man can it be repaid he smiled and spoke a whisper my daughter it is finished go and sin no more go hither overjoyed she went walking into the world with the wind of meekness following her knowing she was pure and imperiled after her revelation with her Savior every mirror she passed she stopped to look making sure there was no misbehavior because she remembered what he did her Christ she wouldn't be a fool to forget and not to look twice making sure of no stains because of his ultimate sacrifice and there she looks in the mirror with everything looking perfect not a wrinkle or blemish on her overjoyed she went walking into the world with the wind of meekness following her knowing she was pure and in pearl I think brother's searchable invoices to worship worship to God you know today is a night is a Jesus is saved this Friday past Friday we

brother Eric said while we standing right here at the parking lot you see the SUV open trunk that's what have our supplies and he have a short word he said oh you can have a seat please don't stand you have a seat and that's what he said remember remember he said this parable not terrible he said actually remember this story in the Bible Lazarus when he died and he came to the Abraham place remember that he said there was a one rich man he said even the hell there's rich people they still reach they said you have a servant right there that's Lazarus I remember him he was under my table by the door would you please tell him again like we push him around in the earth and he's gonna preach to of one of my relatives I remember that story who remember that stuff this is not a parable if I was caller said it's a true story that's how we view the hell in heaven his answer for many biblical questions and Jesus said well let them listen they have a prophet and he said Eric said to us right what are you standing under your feet somewhere deep down in the hell is a crying Souls they cry to God day and night send somebody so they're not gonna come to the place where we are the same insults there's a truly serious business you never know what's happened to that brochure you gave it to you moment you give it to you moment they open up and read even they read loudly or just just quietly in the heart it block only those block words on the yellow paper they became alive of gospel of Jesus Christ impact as a power to safety people tonight is a time when Jesus saved the soul Jesus is a saver tonight I would like to encourage some of you just share what you experienced when you're carrying the cross or like be part of the carrying the cross he said that's it a good time come on that's it just take the moment and just the share what God did it's what you feel what you experience in anybody from our team yes please David name it god bless you don't be shy don't be shy I have we have we have this good assurance I say I'm not the shame of gospel of Jesus who have that who have this short at home is you wearing that how often wearing this shirt we're in this shirt god bless you and after this week after this we're gonna have a word of encouragement in a prayer was a pastor Nicolae but God bless you David just just just share what's in your heart Jesus Saves today still all right so I just have a really quick word cuz it's just off the top of my head but on Friday when we were passing out tracts you know a lot of things happen to you because there was a big festival so there was a lot of people we didn't have many tracks but just many stories happened that like I remember just in the very beginning I sat down on the sidewalk some people already started to pass him out but I was just tying my shoes and I put the tracks down beside me and somebody's just walking by and he just throws the tracks at me and he says here you go I don't need this don't waste this on me and you just get some of these people who are like very discouraging they just like pastor Peter said the lady gave it back to him and said to throwing it in the trash I find all the time that people don't want him but there's also these people's I love they come up they come up asking for it and then they start telling us how good of a job we're doing it just just encourages me so much and like it's it's just so fulfilling that we know that there's other people out there and also we met some people they came up to my dad they actually gave him a bracelet about Jesus or something like that they were also giving out things to to spread the word and it just encourages you so much that that there are other people doing this as well you know it's not just since we have brother brothers and sisters in Christ that they also want to spread the word because all of us should be spreading the word and it just encourages you so much that you just want to go out and preach and this is a very good opportunity if you can just this weekend go to Miami and just pass out these tracts it's just when people accept these and people are smiling it just makes you feel so good that you know you're you're changing the world you know you're doing what Christ wanted for you and I just want to encourage everyone to go to Miami and go with Eric and pass out these tracts cuz it's just such an amazing and blessed opportunity to do this and that's it I want to share an experience that actually happened in Clearwater I was passing out tracks with our youngest girl Rafaela and we come up to this man you know I'd say he was pretty old but um we come up to him when we give him a track for like would you like four reasons to smile and he looks at us and he goes hold on a second and he goes in his pocket and pulls out a big stack of the same exact track and he goes no would you like four reasons to smile and turns out he actually knew brother Eric but he didn't go with us in the group but he had it always on him so even if you can't go with us to Miami which would be great I just like to encourage you guys all to share Jesus in your day to day basis praise God I also one day participate that event in Tarpon Springs walking with the cross and I remember I had watching this and I gave one man he looks it no I don't want ok right behind me Vanessa you know Vanessa cushiony she came she asked that the same guy you know please God so the Lord use all generations so young people just encourage you to be in a work in God because this is the great privilege hallelujah before our prayer share very brief message one verse from Old Testament actually it's Genesis chapter 26 verse 19 that's the story about great man Isaac and his business was to find the new wells because you know in the wilderness well is very very important and we read in Isaac's servants digged in a valley and found there a well of spring water what's the spring water actually if we read another translation they said well of Runyan would we're all familiar with the wells right what's the world it's the hole in the ground sometimes very very deep right now in your generation even tone especially city people they even even I mean the yard they don't standard but I remember when I went to the village back in Russia and I find the well I open up and look it's very you can see the water and then you see your face there and you see the sky and it's usually still wood but sometimes I never seen in my life but sometimes there is a wealth especially this one when you look there you don't see the still water is a mirror you see that's exactly happened there in the valley and if they find that running water spring water what is this that means the river where I go underground and you see when Jesus ministered to the people and you know that story now go to New Testament it's a Gospel of John chapter four you know that story when Jesus met Samaritan Samaritan a woman right at the well who actually discovered that was many many years ago it wasn't Isaac it was his son Jacob and their ways meet each other I mean Savior and Samaritan woman right at the well and Jesus chapter 10 says two Samaritan woman if you know is the gift of God and who it is that say to thee give me to drink you know he has dreamed that I would have asked of him and he would have sister Gina 14 jesus answered and said unto her whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst but the water that I shall give him shall be in him well oh what spring up into everlasting life in water you know Jesus he had that water and people experienced and he not only had for himself he spread around and he invited people that's exactly what we do now we invited people for this well of running water hallelujah and it's amazing when people take a drink suddenly they find out in their souls when when you look deep and that Isaac Isaac's well you see the movement but you do know where is the started and where to go this water and go to heaven hallelujah it's living water and I like this because that's the life living water spring water running water represents life hallelujah because it has to be inside Wells they have water inside sometimes we need to dig and go very very far sometimes I don't know how deep is this but it's very deep and then and you know before what I read that 26:19 also another business Isaac head he came to the his father wells and he find it that the Philistines destroyed destroyed because for everybody and free that's the amazing things right it was free you you don't have to pay the money but the jealousy of enemy destroyed an Isaac King and he start work renewed and sometimes it's not easy because maybe big big stones right there Philistines brought there and Isaac said these thoughts when they did this work our enemy is the Satan and he jealous about us because we have a great future with Christ Jesus but our business God's business hallelujah to open up more and more wells to us and my prayer right now our prayer can I say that first of all we need to be in your soul
