right thank you eliana thank you guys thank you for uh leading us in worship and it was very very wonderful i felt i felt the spirit move and i hope to see you again and you know you guys continue to serve god and continue to worship and lead us in worship especially on these nights so as many of you know and some of you that are here for the first time i see a couple of new faces uh we have in these services we like to have a time to just you know have an open mic and just kind of let everyone have an opportunity maybe to share uh what they what you know what they've had going on this week maybe you know the testimony of something that god did for for you during the week that you just want to share that it may be an encouragement to somebody else or maybe it's just you know a simple encouraging word or or just something that god put on your heart to share that you feel like may bring comfort or rest into somebody's life um we do have some that were pre-prepared but i also you know as some of you know this is the time if you came here with the word ready with a testimony the mic is open i'm not going to be able to give you this i wish i could but we have a mic and uh if you're willing to share the floor is yours okay so we got roman roman all right well god is good hello everyone that is here it's good to see all you um i just wanted to hop up and share a quick little testimony um i wanted to share a spoken word but i wanted to tell you guys um about the spoken word and is how god kind of redeemed me and in the spoken word is going to kind of like talk about how he did that in my walk this spoken word i used in oklahoma and it was with a different audience it was more um i'd say more affiliated with like gang-related people um that had hard difficult pasts that they came through but they also did receive jesus and they were redeemed as well and so i kind of mixed it with them to kind of so it can speak to them a little bit more maybe later down the line i can tell you in details of my testimony and how god changed my life and saved me but here it goes and i labeled this it's called light work um all right see the devil will continue to be a liar as he tries to build up his empire stirring up anyone he can to try to get them in hell's fire but come to god and watch him take you higher have you thinking i'm crying so hard i might need a pacifier so keep your cute quotes my god's burning me up with true notes trust me you don't need those folks he will give you a true word and at any given time could even be by a guy named bird you heard used to burn up because i thought that was real neat turning away from jesus not realizing he is my retreat now i know what you're thinking this could go nice with a real beat but focus on him and let his words stick to you like concrete now rise up and go finish what he started or take your seat he showed me who he was and i realized i was in for a real treat now i'm taking flight this time with the most high got god's people nodding saying yo this thing's real tight saying jesus christ just gave this guy the green light now i got bigger plans and my getaway is real bright yeah that's right my god's the real light [Applause] thank you roman that was awesome spoken word we want to hear more of that you got i hope you have more of it that was pretty good first one but you're gonna be working on it awesome awesome yeah no i i thought that was awesome so we definitely want to hear more again floors open so if you you know have a desire to share something you may work your way up here quest sure can you give testimony about that conference start maybe you yeah oh experience so anyone in the youth is that catherine wants to do it okay so catherine i guess is it about the star conference okay so we're gonna get a testimony uh the youth went to a star conference recently and uh catherine will be giving us a little hi everybody hi so we all went to the star conference just a couple weeks back in jacksonville we stayed there for three days and i didn't go to the very first service because i came a little later after school but from what i heard that one was also very good kind of sad i missed it but that saturday i just i just wanna whoever wasn't there like it was so filled with just people looking for jesus and just the speakers you could see like the fire in them and how in their life you could see how like jesus lives in them and so like their words were so much more powerful and one of my favorite speakers was at the end his name is daniel kolenda if you guys have seen him or heard of him and just it was final saturday night prayer you know if you've been at a conference those are just like just everybody goes up for all to call everybody is just like like that night you feel like you're on a jesus high after that prayer and i just that prayer was so good his word was about following jesus and pastor you actually preached about the same thing a couple wednesdays ago right after i came back you preached the same thing and i was like wow it's meant to be heard it was about luke chapter 9 i believe about uh how three people came up to jesus and they were like i'll follow you and he said okay well then come follow me and he's like oh no i'll go bury my dad first and he was making points that there should be like no hesitation when you're coming to follow jesus there should be like no baggage like whatever like you're not taking anything with you you're following jesus just for jesus and then he had he called people he was like if you want to be in a ministry if like jesus could send you anywhere he said you have to be ready to go anywhere because he does services in africa so i just thought that his whole sermon and his prayer was so blessed and that jesus was there that's it thank you katya that was a good update for us on the conference i'm sure the youth has had a great experience there and can all take something out from it uh anyone anyone else for the open mic part we have uh you want to share something all righty we have all the time you guys don't worry about time like if you're thinking oh well you know i'm going to take up 10 minutes don't worry about it we're here to listen to what god's doing in our life so don't hesitate tadasi totally read my mind just now i'm like i have a lot to say okay so um i'm trying to figure out where to start and honestly katya where are you she disappeared oh there you are what you said honestly kind of went along sort of with what i was gonna go with um i told eliana this um and one of my friends i've been i had a lot of trouble um getting my own path with god i feel like the more i try to go with god it's not a religion to me anymore it's more of a relationship and i actually gave that advice to one of my friends recently he's like he grew up catholic and i'm like well what do you what is christianity or what is your relationship with god and he's like well i was always taught to do this to that to all that i mean that all matters but what really matters is the relationship you have with god and i'm like have you ever tried just you and god and he's like no and i'm like well maybe you should try that and that's actually the advice that i took for myself the past couple of months and i'm like well maybe it's time that i that maybe it's time that i like work on myself more and i know that it should have been time all along it's just i guess i was thinking about it a lot more and what started it was i had a fight with one of my friends then i we just stopped talking and i was upset i'm like i'm i have no one in my life and then i ended up meeting this one other person we got to know each other we started hanging out and we were talking and i'm like yeah i'm christian and then she's like really i'm like yeah but what hurt me was i don't i didn't believe you're a christian you don't seem like you had god in you and i'm like that got to me that was a couple months back um and i'm like well this is a wake-up call this i'm not as close to god as i thought it was so then i'm like okay started going to american church and then they come and they're like do you want to volunteer i'm like where and they're like help chill with the children i'm like okay yeah sure so i started helping with the mostly ones and twos and then they they wanted me to be a leader there so i started leading this was all recently this was the past two or three months like i started leading there and i'm like they're like oh pray for the children um do be a leader for them say what's on your mind about god and i was terrified and i'm like shouldn't this be easier for me shouldn't i be god loves you god is there for you god made you and will always love you and never leave you i was not able to say that three months ago with no hesitation and that another wake-up i had so many wake-up calls and i'm like well how am i supposed to leave these children if i am not in a good place with god myself like i definitely need to start working that more and same with one of the youth conferences i went to i wasn't able to answer 90 of the questions that they were asking and i'm like i should know this so i'm like well where am i where am i with god i'm just living my life not with god not without it's it was weird it was like a weird place and i'm like i should really start going back to god and then i started praying started reading the bible not i mean the bible i will say right now i'm reading as much as a lot more than before i still having trouble i'm still having a lot of battle between reading and reading but it's a lot better than it used to be and it's always every single day on my mind did i read the bible and i'm like okay so i started doing that and then one of my friends we were having dinner and then they're like do you want to pray and i was shocked because they're not like they're they're like i said on the balance of religion they don't know what they want they want to get closer to god but they didn't and i'm like really and they're like okay why are you like are you really okay with this do you want me to really pray and uh that all that was my last wake up call before i woke up because i'm like why is it that i'm hesitating to pray i should be like yes let's pray let's do this let's get going and i'm like okay so i did pray but it was hesitant and then i'm like god there's something going on help me out and then i started um reading scriptures and i started doing demotion and not demotions um thank you devotions and i started trying to figure things out with god and praying to him and spending my time on my own i went on a walk and i feel like that helped me a lot um just being able to cry out to god without any um anybody around without anybody present because i wasn't afraid to let my voice out and i'm like i feel so much better now and i'm like god lead the way every morning i wake up on the way to work i have like a 40 minute drive i'm like i put on my christian music and i put on my my favorite and i put on and i started like praying to god i'm like god help me somehow do something in your name today help me do something that's supposed to be for you and it's been like that for the past couple weeks um i've been ch before i did other testimonies saying i'm trying to find what's my calling in god and i'm like all these people have these talents and i'm like yeah i have talents but not like extravagant not like perfect or not perfect nobody's perfect but um i started praying to god i'm like i got into nursing school if no one knew that and i'm like i was praying to god if you really want me to do this help me get in and i got in first try i'm like i was shocked because a lot of people are like oh i had to try two or three times before i got in and i'm like i don't even have that good of a gpa how did i do that but then i'm like wait god has me god wants me to do this so every single time i made a decision god if you really want me to do this help me out or help me get in or whatever and i had no issues it was all smooth running i'm like god you really want me to do this don't you and i'm like okay so then i realized recently that my listening my patience and my um my words are what god wants me to share with the world because i had a patient that was baker acted he tried to kill himself four times and i'm like well why well what's the reason for it well i'm not gonna say whole story but then it led to so what do you like to do on your free time he's like read books about what christianity mysteries are like christianity are you christian he's like yes i'm like what does that mean to you he's like christianity is the father son the holy spirit i'm like well don't you think that if he wanted you dead you would have died those four times you tried you have no liver damage no anything and yet you're still alive and kicking better than anyone here and then i'm like well it's not your life to take it's god's life to take when he wants you to go so i told him i'm like well i kind of talked it over with him seeing what's going on and then he's like i'm like god probably has a thing for you he's like who would use me i'm pretty much 50 years old i'm broken i am a joke i'm like you're not a joke you're not a joke to us you're not a joke to god you bro the brokenness can always be fixed and then i told him there is a reason why he wants you he god used prostitutes alcoholics anything from the bible he used everyone and he can use anyone so i told him that and he's like well i'm 50 years old what am i supposed to do i'll be like you can choose to either try or you can choose to not you don't fail until you stop you give up and i told him well how about you try and god will lead the way and how about you pray read the bible and maybe you will write about your experience and help others so i i went and i'm like okay i really hope somehow got him the lady next to me is like you should really start talking to more people here i'm like oh maybe and then i started walking out on the end of my shift and he's like this is how i knew i planted a seat he's like amy thank you so much for sitting with me today and then i walked out and i'm like i mean because i have to go but i i just i knew i planted a seed and i really hope i did same with my friend and i'm like god really has something for you and you will find it out sooner or later and i wanted to share probably like four verses that i've been living off of the past month or so um the first one is psalms 56 3-4 when i am afraid i put my trust in you i trust god so i am not afraid with what people can do to me i praise god for his promise to me um deuteronomy 31 8 the lord will lead you he himself is with you he will not fail you or leave you don't worry don't be afraid then i also said psalms 19 1 the heavens proclaimed the glory of god the skies to play his craftsmanship and that helps a lot and sometimes you just need to take a breath look outside and look what god made for you and look what god wants you to do he wants you to enjoy your life in his name he wants you to enjoy what he created for you and he wants and then there's also the lord is more pleased when he do not when we do what is right and just then when we offer him sacrifice just more than when we offer him sacrifices proverbs 21 3 so he's more pleased of what we do right and righteousness and just just what's the word calm um we have more just then if we sacrifice some sacrifice something for him and i feel like sometimes all of us we need to re-evaluate our lives no matter if we think we're doing right or wrong sometimes it's good to re-evaluate it because maybe you can do better or more just and more um righteousness and that's what i did when i realized i wasn't going the right way so i just wanna i just wanna take a moment um so i i have amy on my bible app um on my phone and like last month or two i've been seeing you know i get notifications amy highlighted this amy this amy started this bible plan whatever like so so you know if you guys are wondering did amy really do this yes amy really did this so amy is dedicated she's and i believe she is you know very dedicated to serving god and i'm i think it's awesome to hear the testimony especially of the of the man that was suicidal and how she how god used her to get there and to kind of speak into his life and to kind of you know i and i just have it on my heart i don't know about you guys but i just want to pray for her and for god to bless her and to use her even more and uh you know and that maybe that's her gift maybe like like she said maybe it's you know to be able to listen to somebody to speak to them maybe she's becoming a nurse so that she can be that person that you know somebody's going through a hard time and on their deathbed or something and she can bring salvation into their life she can bring healing whatever it may be in those moments of hard times so i just want to ask all of us together if we're in agreement just bless her in that and and so that the holy spirit would continue to guide her and lead her in that father god we thank you so much for amy we thank you so much for her desire to serve and follow you lord we pray that you just continue to pour in your blessing your favor god your revelation to her life and just give her give her even more uh more desire more of a passion god to just continue to do it give her give her revelation and begin to open doors in front of her god so that she can see clearly what it is you're calling her into lord and and no matter no matter what it is that stands in her way god give her that strength give her the power of your holy spirit to stand in authority and to be able to walk through the purposes that you have for her life god i pray that you just fill her with your spirit fill her with your power god let her acknowledge your authority and her life god and let her carry out your plans for her life from this day forward in jesus name we pray amen amen all right so um we still have time for some more open mic uh if you if you have that desire all right brother nick seems like and then uh we'll probably do one more maybe and then we'll go into our meeting i'm very glad that god gave us an opportunity to be here because we're always traveling for some reason on a day where you guys have this this evening service we really love those i would like to share with like a little testimony my little worries and experience that i went through how god kind of like spoke to me um recently um i found a letter i opened the letter it was from my insurance company for my house and they say hey because what happened during the hurricane they gave me some money or two years after that they gave me money for for my new roof but i didn't want to change the roof yet because i have a little porch and i wanted to extend the original roof a little bit so when i do my shingles i can do everything all together so also we've been putting that to the side i was like i i'm going to do this later i'm just going to put money in my account and just leave it there for some time but anyways so i got this letter i open up the letter and they say hey we because you didn't fix the roof we're gonna not not renew your policy and it was like a week before the the policy is about to renew i'm like wow and it turns out i got this letter like two three months ago but i just lost it i never opened it so i opened a letter i was like wow so i start calling people getting estimates and everybody says listen with these permits these days it's gonna even though if you're gonna do this right now we already have signed the contract it's gonna take three four up to a month to get your permit i was like man what's going to happen now my mortgage company is going to be giving me nasty letters and and then so i have this in my mind i'm thinking i'm worrying about that and then we are sitting with my family and we talking and back in ukraine we actually had a fire in my house an apartment building we had a house burned down to the ground so it was that topic brought up during the conversation i was like huh okay then my dad says remember we also had a fire in our house here in the u.s uh what happened is that you were doing barbecue and they they thought the charcoal was already cold so they put in garbage can and somehow maybe the wind started blowing or something like that it picked up fire and stuck side of the house caught on fire so the neighbors like you on fire so you put away the fire nothing happened major but these two topics brought up and i'm like and and you know i and i hear this nick that's what's going to happen to your house because your insurance already expired you have without insurance things like that can happen just like this and then you're going to end up with mortgage and no house so these thoughts are like so hard and heavy on my heart so i um i lay down in bed i said honey i have to confess we have no insurance it's like i just want you to know because it's so heavy in my heart and there's nothing i can do i feel so bad that i dropped the ball on my side i should have been more maybe proactive about it but in my mind you know these thoughts like the memories from my previous houses just like they were like burning me i was like nick that's what's gonna happen that's that's what happened to your house that's exactly what's gonna happen to you and i'm just like making sure there's no candles in the house make sure all the you know when i leave in the house we there's no burners in the house i checked like 10 times all the outlets to make sure there's no iron in there it's like i'm a little little scared and it's eating me away but deep in my mind i'm like no nick that's just devil kinda like trying to to to bring these worries trust in the lord because if he allows he's in control if he allow this to happen to you whatever that will happen in the worst case scenario it's god allowing that he's allowing things for a reason but again if you trust him he's also able to protect you during that time and that's what like was my final decision no i'm trusting in the lord i'm pushing those those noises away from me as far as i can i'm trusting you lord and this past saturday i got a letter from my mortgage company i'm like so scared to open the ladder i was like here he goes that's exactly what i was worried about and they say hey just wanted to let you know we know the insurance expired but we got you a new one it's going to be a little bit more expensive until you get you know the one yourself it's gonna have a little less coverage but you're still covered i was like thank you lord thank you so much you know as soon as i made the decision no i'm trusting the lord god is my shepherd no matter what happens everything is in his hands and i get this letter it was so encouraging to me i wanted to share with you all you know for me i'm i have the house for you you might be worrying about your little things awesome testimony amy continue on that track so i just wanted to share with you and remind each and every one of us we need to trust the lord more he is a father he is a shepherd he takes care of us may all the glory be to him thank you amen thank you nick i really appreciate that word i appreciate it a lot just because you know i've had certain things happen in my life that the trust in the lord has been uh very much needed so uh thank you nick appreciate it i mean i might as well share a little bit i guess now that i brought it up so uh you know we had the kid we had we had our house we bought our house and we had a mason and then uh i was going back to work and one day you know my dad gets me a load i drive the truck so i get the load and i start driving and something seems off i go and i look around the truck and i see that my uh my exhaust is missing the whole assembly and i i'm like okay you know okay it's not so bad but then when i went to go look how much it's gonna cost they you know it's very large sum of money called the dealer they said ten thousand dollars and i was like whoa hold on like i mean i was completely shook and what was most amazing about all of this is that the sunday before i preached at church and i uh preached on praise and i said no matter what you're going through good or bad even if your life's falling apart you have to praise god and you know it was it was a battle i feel like god almost kind of let that happen in my life to kind of show me you know how like i i was preaching how important it was but i needed to feel how important it was to really know you know because maybe i maybe some people in in here in that the church service go through harder things than i that i've went through you know i mean so it's easy for me to deliver that word but god wanted to to teach me personally you know how how to go through that so you know all of this was coming kind of thrown at me and and and uh obviously my parents were very you know supportive and they're just like no trust god you know you got this and i just i did exactly nellie told me she's like you know what you just gotta you know continue to praise god and i just kind of turned up the volume of my devotion time you know i in the mornings i put mason i tried to put him to sleep and i turned on some worship music i'm like god i'm praising you that's it no matter what and you know he comes through and he brings comfort and he brings you know peace into any situation in our life and just like nick said you know you get that call and they say the mortgage is okay you know the insurance is covered your house is covered and i i mean i'm starting to find relief in the situation that i'm in so you know we have to all remember that we just have to trust god we have to trust god no matter what we're put into um some situations worse than others but we're here for each other we support each other whether we're family or not because at the end of the day we as a church our family and we are all brothers and sisters and we are all here to support each other and so let's praise through the storm together no matter what we're going through and uh yeah praise god so sam did you you you pre-prepared something right i just want to give you a chance before we get into the main word uh and if anyone else had something to share let me know because i don't know what time it is i'm not really worried about it but we'll see how long sam takes well this is me a short word i just want to talk about something i just relearned in class it's about repentance and i i took it to take there's five steps in repentance for me i it's like acknowledging sin and then it's confessing and then you then you have to ask for forgiveness and then you turn away from the sin which leads us to restoring so i learned there's a story in second samuel chapter 12. the lord sent nathan david the lord sent nathan to david when he came to him he said there will be two men in a certain town one rich and the other poor the rich man had a very large sum of sheep the cattle and foot but the poor man had nothing except they one little eve lamb had had bought he raised it and grew it up with him and his children he shared food and drank it his cup even slept in his arms it was like a daughter to him now a traveler came to the rich man and but the rich man refrained from the taking one of his own sheep or cattle to prepare his meal for the traveler who had come to him instead of he took this download lamb to be who belonged to the poor man and prepared it for one who had come to him david burned hit with an anger against the man and said to nathan are you sure as surely as the lord who lives the man who did this must die he must pay for the lamb four times over because he did such a thing and had no pity then nathan said to david you are the man and it's like it's like a shock because nathan was basically explaining a story how and later in the verse it says you are the man and that the lord god is your son i anointed you the king of israel i delivered you from saul and then later in the thing it says then david said to nathan i have sinned against the lord nathan replied the lord has taken away your sin and you were not going to die so basically david said he knows he acknowledged that he sinned and he confessed and then he says how he was his sins were taken away but he's not going he's not going to die but and then later he says hell he's still going to have to fight the stuff that he's done in the past but god will help him through it so god is always there for us an encouraging word about repentance and for all of us to remember acknowledging sin you know confessing our sin and then turning from our sin is very important um in order to walk a good christian life and david as an example is a great example so i want to give one more chance one more person before we go into the main word so first hand takes it everybody welcome to sushi hi everyone okay um so my testimony is gonna be very small it's something that happened during our youth conference and um so and i got a big lesson out of it and you know kind of like a life a life thing for me um and so for for a conference we had a few drivers um that volunteered to take their car and take a few people and i volunteered to take my car as well and you know i want to participate and be involved and kind of help out in any way i could so i thought i'll take my car and take a few you know people with me and before we all head out i had a few people say that oh um a few people don't want you taking your car it's like you know you know some people don't think it's a good idea um and i was like i i don't understand why not like you know i'm just taking my car like you know but um at the end of the day you know um like i took my car took a few girls with me and we drove up there um and then we were at oh the day before we were the day that we were leaving um my car uh two lights popped up and it was the check engine and then like the stabilizer thing um and i was like oh you know it's just because it's raining it'll go away soon you know no problem and we drive up there you know everything was good and then when we're driving around saturday my car starts to have this weird like when i'm trying to hit 60 it starts to like bounce a little bit and i was like i started to freak out i was like oh no like something's wrong and i don't know what it is and no you know we had a few mechanics with us and none of them knew what it was either and i was starting to really panic because a lot of people had doubt and a girl driving and i was like man i just want to do a good job and show that i can do you know drive well and you know like i don't want to let anyone down um and so when we had a break in between the conference i went to like auto parts and asked if they could help me out and they sent me to other mechanic and another mechanic and i'm just trying to take it all upon myself and just try to do it myself i didn't want to be a burden on my on my youth family so i was just like you know i'll do it myself um and so i just got bad news one after another and i was like man i'm like i'm stuck like i'm in the like i'm in the corner um and so i kind of had like a panic attack well not yeah like a panic attack like i got really um kind of like i can't do this i'm trying i'm trying but i'm like i'm i'm hitting a wall um and i called my brother and he really like calmed me down he's like i don't know why you're putting all this on yourself like it's a it's a machine it you know it'll break down eventually it has nothing to do with you you know it's not like you decided to go ruin your car and you know it was a decision that you made no it's the car it broke down and i was like you know what yeah why am i stressing so much over this when it's like it is what it is and so we had the last prayer the last service it was amazing it was so good um and i was i was standing there and i was praying and i was thinking god you know what i'm at a conference i'm praising you i'm like i'm i'm like i'm getting food spiritual food like i'm just trying to enjoy your presence at the moment and like whatever you have planned if this is what you want to happen then it's going to happen and um and i just kind of prayed i was like i'm getting it all in your hands because i can't do anything it's all out of my reach and so the night you know the car was still the same we went home um to our airbnb and you know nothing changed um and then the next morning we're driving and we're driving on the highway and i'm hitting 60 going over 60 and and the car was driving so smoothly the two lights disappeared and i was just like wow like then the night before that like i just gave it all to god and i was like kind of like if you want it to break down then it'll break down i'll call like you know you know we can just tow it back home or if you want to get fixed and it's a life lesson for me then you know it'll get fixed and i've i thought about it i was like why do we as humans want to be in our own sorrow and our own depression until we realize that we can't handle it and then we go to turn to jesus it's like why can't we just look to him right away when we know we have a problem why do we have to go through all that like turmoil and like suffering and then realize oh yeah we can't handle this as humans we should probably like turn to god and you know realize that if we put in his hands we can just kind of step back and be like you know like god whichever way it goes it goes you know and that's all we can do and so i don't know that was something i thought i should share with everyone else so yeah praise god thank you thank you for that word i mean we've been hearing a lot about trusting god and the providence of god and just you know god taking care of situations in our life and uh i would like to actually welcome our guest speaker you know this guest speaker usually you guys expect when we say guest speaker somebody from far away you know coming from ukraine or from from new york or california but this guest speaker is actually from his own hometown and he's uh he's a man of god that's on fire for god and i believe he has a really good word for us today and he is your one and only david mirza i welcome you to the stage so may god bless you and serve us with the word thank you taras for the introduction you know you don't want to get me too prideful okay but anyways praise god everyone for all these testimonies can i get an amen god is really working through all of us and you know i just wanted to share a word you know something i was inspired by god was talking through me to me throughout this whole conference that we went on as a trip as a youth if i encourage anyone who didn't go this year next year february again start conference it's in jacksonville just talk to me around that time of year very great conference to go to god you know is such a good time there you know just seeing all these people all these young people just all gathering with the same desire just for jesus to know more about him it was just such an amazing experience to see everyone there and throughout this whole conference you know god was talking to me some people that were like really close to me while i was there hanging out around me a lot know like i was listening to one song i just had this one song on my mind the whole time you know by casting crowns it's called start right here i encourage you guys to listen to it but i'm kind of going to be talking about this that at the conference this song and many other factors just god started speaking to my heart and i believe taras gave me this opportunity to share it with all of us you know this is a word for me and for you guys too and you know when daniel kolenda in the last service was speaking i don't know i'll kind of explain who he is you know he's a ceo and president of christ for all nations they're kind of like a evangelical corporation that kind of works in like africa and many other countries countries in africa and other places to kind of spread the gospel and they he he has preached to millions of people brought them to christ and you know he was talking to us and he made this very interesting point before i share this point i want to ask you guys how many of us here can i get a raise of hands consider yourselves evangelists okay some people and so he was saying he's like he he says he considers himself an evangelist too he's like you know that's kind of what i do i go and preach the gospel but he's like all christians are evangelists all christians are ministers he's like at least they should be he was saying he was kind of encouraging the youth he's like hey if you're a christian you know you are called to serve you to evangelize the people and like as young people we might be thinking you know everyone's thinking well how how am i supposed to evangelize i don't have the power to preach like this man you know i don't have this gift to go on stage in front of millions of people and just bring millions of people to god but there's a simple way we can do this and i want to encourage us right now let's just open up to ephesians chapter 2 verse 8 through 10. verse 8 to 10 it says for by grace you have been saved through faith and that not of yourselves it is the gift of god not of works lest anyone should boast for we are his workmanship created in christ jesus for good works which god prepared beforehand that we should walk in them you know we need to spread the gospel we need to evangelize to people and it's very simple it's what we're doing right here you know sharing our testimonies as i read here every single one of us is saved by grace we are not saved by our own power it said it's not by works we couldn't we can't save ourselves there's no way we can save ourselves it is only by the blood of jesus who died on the cross for us he saves all of us his grace and mercy saves us and you know every single one of us if we're a believer we have this testimony your life story that you know you came to jesus and he saved you you know and he loves you because of that and you know we need to just start by sharing this word this is how we can evangelize whenever you meet someone just share share your life story share what god has done in your lives because that is the greatest testimony and that what is what will bring people to to jesus and going back to the song i was talking about starts right here you know daniel kolenda he preaches the gospel mainly in africa another preacher on friday service in the conference ben fitzgerald he's from europe he goes all around europe preaching the gospel and we might be thinking to ourselves you know that's hard for us we can't right now in this time i can't go to to europe to africa like maybe i can go like once a year on a mission trip with our local church or something like that you know it's very difficult for me to get out there and evangelize how can i call myself an evangelist but it's it's very simple you know before we can go out in the world we have to start right here you have to start in your own home you have to start in your own community how many people are here in the community of tarpon springs the tampa bay area that don't know the gospel don't know jesus christ as their personal savior we need to just share the gospel and you know this this place what we have here this english outreach missionary service is a perfect tool to use you know we come here we share testimonies we encourage each other we encourage each other of what god does in our lives our personal testimonies you share it here you can go and share it with any person on the street to spread his word we need to share the gospel and you know as soon as we start planting these seeds if you could tell people are getting interested you can invite them to these services this service is not it's not an english service as some of us call it just for us to come and it's an english service that you know it's not it's easier for under us to understand than it is in the morning in the russian service no it is an outreach missionary service this is a tool for you guys to use invite people here so that they can hear the testimonies that god does in others lives so that they may be drawn to jesus and i want to read one more passage as we wrap up in mark chapter 16 verses 15 to 18 let's open up real quick it says and he said to them go into all the world preach the gospel to every creature he who believes and is baptized will be saved but he who does not believe will be condemned and these signs will follow those who believe in my name they will cast out demons they will speak with new tongues they will take up serpents and if they drink anything deadly it will by no means hurt them they will lay hands on the sick and they will recover you know here jesus calls everyone to go and preach the word into all the nations and i i believe that that means starting in your hometown starting in in your work starting in your school wherever you may be wherever there are people around you in your community and your friend group in your neighborhood wherever is the closest the most easily acceptable god has put you in your place for a reason for you to spread the word just like amy was saying she god gave her the opportunity to go into nursing school so and you can see that the fruits are already coming that she is able to spread the word i just want to encourage all of us who believes in jesus's name who believes that these signs will follow if you believe these signs will follow as you start preaching the word people will be sick they will ask you they will ask you to pray for them you can pray for them heal them you will cast out demons all these miracles will happen for those who believe you know i just want to encourage us to a prayer but not just any prayer i just want to encourage us you know anyone who has this boldness this desire to preach to those around them preaching their community anyone who has this desire to come up front so that we could pray for you for this boldness to spread god's word in your community wherever it may be maybe it's in work maybe it's your friend group people don't know really that you're a christian just so that you were able to share your testimony with these people around you let's just all stand and pray that god would be able to use every single one of us that we would start here we wouldn't have to go to other nations we would start in this place where we live that god's work god we could see jesus living in us jesus working through our lives let's pray lord jesus hallelujah holy spirit oh lord jesus lord open up our hearts god hallelujah father we thank you for this opportunity that you have given us lord for this place you have put us lord jesus we thank you for blessing all of us jesus for giving us this opportunity to be in this place lord jesus turn courage one another lord god hallelujah lord and we just open ourselves up lord we open ourselves up to you holy spirit holy spirit we just pray and ask that you would use us we are vessels we just open ourselves up to you lord god we open ourselves up to you that you would use us jesus that you would use us jesus to spread your great word to glorify your name jesus of what you did in every single one of our lives we pray that you would use our testimonies in our lives all our hardships our trials our temptations our struggles when we come out stronger with you jesus that we would be able to use this and share with others lord god and i pray that each and every person here lord we would be able to use this in our in our surrounding area lord so it would start in our homes lord so that right now right here we would all make the decision lord to go out on this week lord god for the rest of our lives wherever we may be to spread your word to those around us lord god that we would just spread your word to those people around us lord and jesus we would just evangelize your name lord we just spread the gospel in any way possible lord you have all given us you've given us all this testimony this testimony that we have been saved jesus said and we pray that we would be able to use it lord use it to bring people to your name use it to bring people to your name jesus so that they would be saved lord god we would bring people and we would be able to invite him here lord so that we would encourage them together lord god so that we would all be able to use your name jesus your great name lord god jesus because in your name lord jesus all chains are broken we are just lord freed in your name lord and we would just be able to share this with everyone in the world lord what you have done for us so that your love would just overflow through us lord that we would be able to do nothing except share it with others lord god we would just share your word lord we pray that you've just strengthened every single person here lord god so that you would give us this boldness lord god so that tomorrow tonight lord god just those people around us lord jesus whoever we may see whoever we may meet lord god so that we would not be afraid lord so that this doubt from the devil would not come into our mind lord jesus but holy spirit we would walk with you we would just be able to spread your word yes jesus we just asked lord jesus we would use your name the power of your name lord to heal the sick lord god to cast out demons lord jesus to bring people to you lord god and we just pray that every single person here would ignite this fire in them lord so that they would have this burning passion lord god to evangelize to spread your gospel lord hallelujah jesus so that it would not burn out lord so that we would come back next month lord god and we would be able to encourage each other with a testimony lord we would be able to bring more people here lord we just pray that we would be able to encourage each other lord god in anything that we do lord send us lord we are here lord we are here lord the harvest we are your workers lord the harvest is plentiful lord send us out as your workers lord we just come before you in this place lord jesus hallelujah we pray use us jesus use us and we pray that this fire would not burn out in this night lord god that through the rest of this month lord we would just continue to encourage us lord fill our lives with testimonies so that we could just share your word in your mighty name jesus we love you and pray amen thank you david that was a very encouraging word um i believe it was something of revelation for all of us every single one of us and uh i actually have it on my heart uh just to kind of keep this going a little bit the prayer i i feel i feel like you know maybe there's people here that want to receive jesus for the first time i don't know it might be your first time maybe maybe it's it's a time to kind of maybe reconnect with jesus maybe maybe you just feel like in your life you've kind of disconnected and you haven't had that that connection that you once had kind of like what amy was talking about where he was like you used to kind of do it and then you know you kind of fell away you don't know if you're christian or you are or not you know maybe this is a chance to kind of reconnect you know seriously back to jesus or for the first time like i said i want to do a prayer specifically for that and then um as well i would like to um pray that we would find an evangelist near you which is everybody so you know i don't want to see somebody without somebody because david told us we're all evangelists so find an evangelist near you um and in the conclusion of the prayer i would like to pray for you know to bless that person near you to evangelize for god's spirit to rest in their life for god's spirit to move and work through them so the first prayer in the beginning of the prayer i'd like to do the call to jesus and then we will find somebody and pray you know to be effective and powerful evangelists carrying the kingdom of god and the gospel of the kingdom starting here so let us let us pray for uh salvation and to be reconnected to jesus father god we thank you so much for this time for this opportunity to stand before you to have this time to just listen to all these testimonies lord about your providence and how we as believers we can trust you and we know that no matter what we go through in life no matter how bad how how terrible it can get and we think that our life is over because of it but we know that your hand is there and you can help us get through it lord and i pray that for whatever soul is here today god that may have never jesus that may have never even heard of you or have heard of you but never experienced you in their life god jesus i pray that you just enter into their life let them receive you today let them receive a new revelation of who you are let them receive your love your peace your joy and just overwhelm them with your presence in this moment lord i pray that the people that have disconnected from you maybe they have fallen distant and they've backslided in their life god but i pray that your spirit just come into their hearts tonight let them experience a new fire a new flame of the holy spirit in their heart lord let them let them realize and recognize the true power that lives within them when they were once a believer and maybe have fallen back lord let them let them come into the fullness of the of the power and the authority of a life of a christian lord and as we go into this next part of a prayer this is where you guys can find somebody near you and we're going to be praying just just for the the the evangelical part of each other for for find just somebody and just pray and say god i bless this person whatever it may be whatever their purpose whatever their gift whatever their talent whatever they're going through no matter what they are called into evangelism they are called to spread the gospel whether it's through singing through speaking through through praying through through listening whatever it may be they are called to evangelize
