Summary
A visiting missionary leads an evening seminar on evangelism. He reminds the church that every believer exists on this earth for a mission, and that we already hold the greatest power there is - not nuclear or earthly power, but the gospel of the cross, which is the power of God for salvation (Romans 1:16; 1 Corinthians 1:18).
From Acts 1:8 he shows that every child of God is called to be a witness: first by the way we live, since our joy, peace and patience preach even when people reject our words, and then by openly speaking of Jesus. He shares vivid stories - leading travelers to Christ during a year working at an airport, an act of obedience that once stopped a man from throwing his pregnant wife out of a window, and his own healing from liver disease.
He offers four practical keys for witnessing: be led by the Holy Spirit, start from the other person's interests and meet them at their level, share your own testimony, and never argue about religion or denomination - just show people Jesus. He closes by urging the church to see the soul rather than the person, to work for God's kingdom rather than one congregation, and to be filled afresh with the Spirit's power.
Key Points
- You were created for a mission; no believer is excluded from God's purpose.
- What we carry is the power of God - the gospel of the cross saves rather than destroys.
- Acts 1:8: the Holy Spirit gives power so that we become witnesses.
- Your life witnesses first; joy, peace and patience preach even when words are rejected.
- Obedience to the Spirit's prompting can stand between someone's life and death.
- Four keys: be led by the Spirit, start with their interests, share your testimony, point to Jesus not religion.
- See the soul, not just the person, and work for the kingdom of God rather than one local church.
Devotional
You are not on this earth by accident; God placed you here with a mission to make Jesus known. The same gospel that saved you is now the power of God in your hands, ready to rescue someone today. Ask the Holy Spirit to lead you to the people in your circle, and let your joy and patience speak before your words ever do. When His voice prompts you, do not delay, for your obedience may be the difference between someone's life and death.
What we hold is not earthly power to destroy, but the power of God to save.
Do not argue about religion - just show people Jesus.
When you truly see a person's soul, the fear of witnessing disappears.

the rest of our time we put it into your hands father have your way and touch anything every one of us in the name of Jesus Christ we pray amen amen so uh I'm I'm going I'm going I'm gonna go a little bit uh slowly today we're going to talk about mission listen to what I'm about to say now we you and I we exist on this planet for a mission we Aver on this planet of course it is created for a mission it's foreign let them say in English my existence on this planet my existence on this planet is for a mission is permission that's it now tell them in in Russian language one of the witness that this church is a missionary we Church is because you're not having service only in Russian language you're in America we have a Majesty I've seen many you know by the grace of God I'm helping pastors ministers leaders am I on camera yeah pause it please I I I I by the grace of God I am thank you there is no one here right here sitting that is excluded from a mission when God created you according to a Ephesians chapter 2 verse 12. 212 if I'm not mistaken 10 or 12. 10 yes yeah that verse that so we are created there is a purpose in our life amen so that's the first point I want you to have it in your heart so yes it's not only the pastors here I have a mission and of the church or the Evangelist or the prophets apostles every single one of you cousins Nas you are created for a mission the moment you existed in this planet the moment you jumped out of your mother's womb that's how you came out right very much will [Music] landed on this planet president administering the youth so I know the language yeah we we credit for a purpose the thing is now uh you have to find what your mission is what your purpose is for your life amen I mean I mean and the second thing that I wanted to to make a foundation as a foundation we have to know what we have in our hands um let's turn our Bible to the uh Book of Romans chapter one uh verse 18. this is 16 I'm sorry for I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus of the gospel of Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believes and it continues same kind of verse First Corinthians chapter 1 18. it says for the preaching of the cross for the word of the Cross is foolishness to that to those that are perishing but for us who have been saved it is the power of God I'm not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ why because it is the power of God the word of the cross it may be foolishness to those that are perishing but for us who have been saved it is the power of God so what we have in our hand is the power of God I'm not talking about nuclear power yeah in all days they were using horsepower right and then and then comes the the wind power came now but now hydraulic power and then nuclear Powers wind power everybody talks about power why do they fight for power even in the church people fight for what for power they think they think this is power to have a to have a mic to be a pastoring power is not a power it's a service man it's a responsibilities I was still I was I was telling Pastor Nikola showing something Pastor Nikolai yesterday I'm going to illustrate something okay stand over here please so Pastor Nicola his shoe okay no you don't have tie on shoe on your shoe right he has okay okay then then I'll take him thank you love you bro come on over here so his tie was like this pastor Nicola and I saw it it was yesterday right I run and then began to tie his is and I look at him like this nine this is a door of God open this door for me to tie your shoes for this place nobody fight but to hold Mike people fight okay this is a door God opened it for me to come down be humble and tie your shoes I told him in the church nobody fights for this kind of thing but to come here why don't I preacher forget it bro this is the house of God oh yeah I thought I'm preaching for Americans you are Americans I say Americans I'm sorry you are not America how many Americans you are the children of the most high God so people fight for power it says the Bible says the point that I want to make is we have to know what we have in our hands the word of the Cross is about countries like U.S and other countries they are proud of their nuclear power this power that power America started but I'm not talking about Earthly destroying power all these powers that they have the atom nuclear it is to destroy him Humanity but Paul said I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Allah because it is the power of God not to destroy Humanity but to save us it is the power of God for what for salvation so say after me the power of God power of God the word of the cross the gospel of Christ is in my hand so in your life and in my life there is a power so fast that can save someone from going to hell that can save someone going to make a suicide subscribe I'm about to touch these points later but I remember one day it was 27 29 years ago I was working as a driver yeah there was a couple just to visit them a couple the husband came to the Lord few days ago his wife was not she his wife was mad about it and then she was pregnant seven months pregnant and then they live in the seventh floor seven months seven months pregnant living in seventh grade floor and to make the story short uh I was I was driving a company's car bro but A call came from within which I'm going to talk about later very [Music] a verse out of uh Revelation revelation in prayer time yeah so the the man the husband opened the door when he opened the door he saw me through it he was shocked I have no idea what's going on in their house I'm your brother are you listening to me I went I went into the home yeah without knowing anything so I prayed for them share the word uh 10 minutes I came out because I have to work and the man came with me down to my car and he cries he cries forgive me Jesus forgive me he cries I just keep quiet I don't know I didn't I didn't preach about repentance in his in his home I just encouraged them but he's crying crying forgive me forgive me forgive me and then I bless him and I went home listen to me now 22 years passed by I had a crusade in East Africa in a big Stadium 40 000 people packed waiting for me Yama Crusade and then when he heard that Thomas he said I want to go with you and I will pay you a ticket he said that's a good news he said I want to have experience in that Holy Ghost meeting in in the stadium [Music] and as as we sat down in the airport to depart because he said Thomas let me share a story for you he said he said you remember that day that morning at 9 00 a.m in the morning yeah my my wife was so mad because I I accepted Christ he said normally the guy uh he's a very calm calm person naturally some people are naturally calm they are not born again but naturally they are kind they have you know the origin is but on that day his wife made him so mad Allah that time she was not only her but the demon inside of her uh he took her with his with her seven months pregnant he took her like this and opened the window and to throw her from the seventh floor down right in this time today and I began to cry now this this family the boy is Born the wife accepted Jesus Christ she became a leader of a big Choir in one Church the boy who was in the mother's womb was about to die he's married now the mind is a treasurer of the church uh big family yeah um I love you nobody fight for that yeah hallelujah thank you you didn't finish it yeah you begin it I finish it like the testimony praise God and then I was crying this is the point that I want to make listen to me I was crying nobody normally have to rejoice and thank God 20 plus years ago he cried he was crying for repentance after 22 22 plus years now it was my time to cry for repentance uh why I said Lord if our obedience can decide between life and days sometimes forgive me please for the times that I've heard your voice and not obeyed you that is because God loves people and the power is in our hand to save them as I'm about to tell you later he gives a signal through his spirit to go and tell them to go and help foreign amen I mean so coming to the third Point uh treacherich I hope I'm not boring you if I tell you the points again the first point was we are existed for what for a mission we number two we have to know what we have in our hands that's the power of God number three number three we have to know that we are called To Be A Witness my mind is oh there is a purpose for my existence on this planet yes doc as the children of God we are called To Be A Witness that's what exactly what Jesus said in the book of Acts chapter 1 verse 8. you shall receive power after the Holy Ghost come upon you and you shall be witness for me Jerusalem Judea Samaria and then then I mean so oh now one question is answered oh Lord arm existed on this planet for a mission now I know my mission to be a witness amen let me say I'm a witness yeah is if you say it or not you are because you believe in Jesus Christ the moment you accepted accepted Christ in your heart moment automatically the light came into your life and the light on the big mountain on the on the on the top cannot be hided if foreign so the purpose of my existence on this planet is to be a witness is to witness Christ a verse from The Book of Mark 16 20. uh they went and preached everywhere Witness so two things about this we call to be a witness in our daily life without saying nothing about Christ our life must Witness the way we live the way we talk the life of Holiness the life of Peace the life of joy you know I was reading the book of uh Galatians chapter five the other day at home foreign is clear manifested robota yasna in they murder uncleanness Vision the work is clear everybody see it when you work everybody but does the fruit of the spirit is peace the other is work this is fruit pleat yeah fruit when you see fruit what do you want to do you wanna take one end that's sadly that's what Eve did she saw a fruit wrong fruits fruit is attractive um so there is an attractive fruit in our life man Unity by our fruits they know us by our fruit they they witness who we are and by their fruit and work we witness who they are products so one of the things a foundational a profound thing to be a witness is our life you know Pastor if I don't touch this part and jump on to the mission think it's not fair it's not biblical that's why I touch it my life your life is a Witnesses people see you the way you live the way you you treat your wife if you have a wife the way you treat your children the way the way you treat your brothers and sisters in the church in the working places I when I came to us last Wednesday in the airport you know normally when I fly I I come to the airport like three and a half hours earlier um I just check in and then take my boarding card and then I relax drink my cappuccino and this and that and then I don't like acting yeah Capuchin and on that day I met an African-American he came from Missouri in Frankfurt Airport so his hair is like this well how do you call it this Rasta rats threads dress dreads about blocks is this Russian language it's dreads it's American only in America this is and then I looked at him and then I checked my spirit yeah and then the Lord let me talk to him he was born and then I said how can I begin this is the thing that I'm going to talk about later yes I cannot jump and say hey buddy I know he's a freaking American so I I can talk his language yeah hey buddy how are you man and what are you doing in German I can say like that okay how are you doing you have to come to their level man [Laughter] but I listen to the Holy Ghost and the Lord opened my eyes to see his hair yeah the way he made his hair is not it's not beautiful [Music] but naturally his hair is beautiful because this hair is created by God his head is the work of God foreign I said hey I like your hair yeah hey buddy and so straight straight men straight men that that's what he said this is from Africa America and then I told you where are you from he he said I'm from Missouri all my parents they have a big property in Missouri when I speak with Americans my accent changed like an American yeah I said what are you doing here in Germany he said he he said I was I was in the military he said I went to Iraq yeah I was fighting on behalf of the the the Marines and he said there in Iraq I tend to be a Muslim he said yes I just listened to him because I'm looking for what yeah foreign God loves people today and then to make the story short I came back to his hair again yeah I know where to get him because he invested a lot in his hair so I said well this is the fastest growing hair how long it took you to be like this he said three years wow and now the spirit of the Living God gave me a verse because as I've told you on Wednesday last Wednesday the word of God is sharpness and I told him hey buddy take care of you here that it will not be like Samson's hair foreign oh yeah you're right buddy you straight you straight you're an honest man you straight he said and then I press on I press on I said you know how some Samson lost his uh hair he says bro take care I tell him and then from Samsung I jumped to the New Testament I say thank God Jesus Christ never died on the cross shed his blood rose on the from the dead if you believe in him you shall have eternal life and then he said something powerful this is the thing this is the point that I wanted to make I send something in my spirit when I talk to people when I'm in the Holy Spirit I scream them of what happened in this country among the Amer the African Americans and then I told him let me tell you something this gospel that I'm telling you is not an American gospel this is a Middle East Jesus Is Not An American from the Middle East [Music] when he came from heaven because he was not crucified right here in California I didn't say that to him but this is I'm telling to you for him I just say this is not American gospel this is this is the gospel of the kingdom of God and then that cleared something in his mind the hatred because they think none of it many many African-Americans and Africans literal Africans Africa afro-americans Africans they are turning to be a Muslim in thousands you know what this night that you move because someone from here from this country an African-American cheated them misguided them and told them this gospel this this Bible is only for the white people not for us so I'm I'm fighting for his soul okay so when I told him that this thing was cleared from his mind somebody say God loves people God loves people today and then I at the end EF can see let me tell you my story and then I told him this testimony which I told you on Wednesday like Wednesday Wednesday and the guy said something powerful yeah you you straight man you I can feel it I can feel the joy in you I can feel it used to be the point that I want to make is people may deny your preaching foreign so we're called to be witness in our lives when the people see our joy in the school because the university in our working place and at home DOMA our peace this by itself is a witness for Christ they will say you have something it will open uh platform for us to tell about Jesus are you with me say my life is a witness yes for Christa say my joy speaks my peace speaks my patience speaks in the working place maybe your boss is you know angry and then maybe insulting you and this and that now that you have patience I remember I was working in the airport Frankfurt airport I worked only one one year guess what they chase me out because the place I was working was it was my crusade place my my preaching place I was working in baggage storage place you know Frankfurt many Transit flights some passengers have 10 hours 11 hours 24 hours Transit listen to no Miss uh so they come out from the transit area and put their luggage he am responsible for their luggage I store their luggage [Music] and I give them number and then they pay six euros six or seven euros so imagine people from Japan from Korea people from China people from America people from Australia named them it was an International Church for me they come to bring their luggage after I store their luggage I begin to talk to them brother Nick they listen to me you know why because I have time they are Transit flights when someone talk to them they enjoy it you know because they don't know the city I instruct them you take this kind of train and this and this oh thank you you are helpful me and they ask me which is a good restaurant and I tell them and then at the end if you can see what will happen at the end please so I was doing that for one continuous years many people heard the gospel some of them they received Christ right there right on the spots one day as I was leading someone to the Lord that people cannot see me I let him in inside and then I tell him kneel down he kneeled down and he accepted Jesus Christ right before right before I finish the prayer my boss came oh man you can't imagine what happened he was so aggressive he insulted me every ugly word when he insulted me the first time I said I kept quiet because I'm talking about patience so somebody said my patience but I just laugh he cursed me I love uh yes you know why I laughed because of that soul that came to the Lord in heaven there is a joy and from that Joy I got packed so I was just rejoicing with my father radio that's what the Bible says verse do they have any rejoices when sinner comes to Christ the heaven rejoices to Heaven If Heaven is rejoicing what are you doing here on Earth okay the time my boss were crushing me but because of that Joy just had a patience and then but after a couple of seconds he continued to catch me if he says I said let me open my mouth and give him a give him uh how do you say it uh feedback yes I say God bless you he continued to curse me I said God bless you the Lord bless you the Lord robot but he cannot come he cannot deny the patience the joy that I have I live man I'm a man and then jump on his head but something happened I am dead when I receive Christ the old Thomas is dead but the the devil wanted to revive My Flesh you know call him call Thomas again let him jump on him because of the the attitude no no no no no they have not listened to you tell them again jump on him again the Bible says by the fire or by the spirit of God we kill the Deeds of our flesh this hand who used to fight is now dead this hand can only function to lay hand for the sick this tank who used to curse an insult it's a yes I've told you on Sunday the fire of God touched this tank its functions only to Bliss this is a witness our life must witness amen hallelujah so let me continue number three number three oh no number four number four sorry so now today after I told you four points I'm going to give you a chance to raise questions if you have questions yeah we can it's like a workshop yeah we may take a little time but it's a mission Okay so I'm sorry if I repeat it again I know Pastor Nicolai he doesn't want when somebody repeats the same thing again and again but in this subject we have to very important subjects save the time okay how many minutes do I have okay we are existed we exist on this planet for what for a mission let me see what is our mission to be a witness if we are a witness number one our life must be must Witnesses somebody say walk in Holiness amen I mean and the next part is to literally open our mouths and share Christ about Jesus Christ so we're going to share four important keys from the Bible that helps us to to to witness about Christ in our life by the fruit of the spirit we witness but now we are going to open our mouths so we need some uh some uh advice from the Bible number one where shall I go witness about Christ this question must be answered we've read a verse that they went everywhere for me what is this everywhere for you so listen to me people who are on your circle they are your number one everywhere people in your circle means family members who are not saved near Friends School friends a working Place friends if you if you play soccer or any any sport those people that you meet them there all these are your everywhere in this on this planet almost 8 billion people are living they live foreign [Music] so where is your everywhere to share about Christ think about your circle now students in the University students think about your friends brothers and sisters who go to work think about your co-workers you remember I told you yesterday I was working a musician everywhere I work I know these are my everywhere so the first thing I do I pray and then he use opportunities to tell about Jesus to each and every one of them okay so where is my everywhere my circle so what's the name of the city so for this church this area is you're everywhere what does it mean you are responsible for your circle so if you take action and begin to reach this area the Lord will work with you amen I mean in the school in the working Place School in roboti let me let me tell you one touching testimony uh one one sister from Russia she lives in Germany she's a nurse and and she's she's working um not outside but how do you call it intensive we call it in German intensive statue the people I see you I see you yeah so she working with people who are between life and days this Russian sister she touched my heart when she said that was three years ago she said something when I see the people they they fight between life and Days please listen to me when I see these people she said I feel responsible I I may be the last person for these people yeah I am the last person that these people see on the or here on this planet and many of them they don't listen they're gone you know but you know what she this Russian sister does she close the door she is alone he said I believe the word of God is alive maybe there they are unconscious but their soul hears the word of God foreign they try to say it but they're you know they're you are my Lord because because it is they are speaking but they are you know they're about to die and then they're gone even if listen to me the people that died she said the people that confessed when they die when their soul departs I see their face like this yes people they I tell them say Jesus and they don't responds when they die I see their face let's say brothers and sisters the moment someone leaves this planet it is not a game it is not a joke the first minute that leaves this planet they will be in the hands of the Lord or in the hands of the enemy many people they they know it already when they died foreign but the others are in she because Angels my dear brother and sister that's why I told you tonight it is a very serious night power of the cross that you and I have it is not a joke it is not a church joke it is a power to save lives you understand that thank you when you understand that cannot close your mouth you stop your your your your church politic and then you stop your uh uh what do you say you your pride at home you anything you just leave everything and then you humble yourself and tell about Jesus many people in many Church they fight why because they don't know what their mission is foreign husbands and wives brothers and sisters they fight why because they don't know their mission is the day is gone already but let us rise up today and understand our mission it is your prayer that makes me like this prayed for me today I heard you pray for me you prayed for me Lord use him you said you say it's your prayers you say use it he's using me now brothers and sisters so for this Russian dear sister who sisters he said that touched my heart I feel responsible she said these people who are about to die I am the last person and their last chance he tried her best best he fights to snatch precious Souls out of the hand of the devil that they don't go to hell it says when in your working Place brother Peter where are you working construction then construct their life where do you work you what is your circuit full-time Mission all right bro you said you bro where do you work yes take some heavy together the devil out of them in Jesus name with your credit when you when your crane begin to in Jesus name I cast that devil out of this guide foreign Four Keys number one Percy always be led by the Holy Spirit always when you fail to share someone about Jesus always be laid by the Holy Spirit listen to your heart Jesus said my sheep hear my voice you don't have to be a pastor or a prophet or Apostle to hear the voice of your Shepherd if you are a sheep you hear is amen I mean so just like me I always when I say and pray Where can I the Holy Spirit leads you he gives you number two begin always from their Interest come to their levels of like for example if someone is a soccer player yeah football don't jump and tell him about Jesus talk to him about soccer football because he loves soccer football so and he will say oh yeah I got a friend now he loves soccer and then you will be friends and then and then at the end you will tell him why are people so shouting uh in the stadium when someone scores a goal brother [Music] and then yeah it's a joy yeah and then you begin about Jesus huh you got my point come to their level begin from their interests amen I mean if you yes I love that amen who's that uh number three number three uh always share your testimony your own testimony how you got saved yeah how you or maybe if you were sick and the Lord Heal you tell them because sometimes maybe you find someone who is sick maybe there is a sick people in your circle in your everywhere if you tell them directly about Jesus do you know what the response will be where is God I'm suffering here you see they block where is God I'm suffering so if God healed you because tell them about how he got healed I told the testimony the other day yeah you know 27 years ago how many minutes do I have 27 years ago a brown person right here one day I look at the mirror my eyes my hand my face all yellow and then I feel so weak yeah I went to a physician when he saw me he said right away to the hospital he said you're you're liver and they they put me in Rehabilitation hospitals [Music] they say we don't have any medicine for this the only thing that we can do for you is let you rest and then to make the story short 40 Days for zero in the rehabilities and then one morning I wake up saw myself in Mirror yeah you know Faith does not deny the reality then I pray Lord please heal me I believe you died not only to save my soul but also to heal my body yeah and this time I I don't pray I say Lord I thank you you have heard my prayer I'm Healed yeah second day third day four days three weeks straight three weeks almost every morning I wake up Lord I Thank you and one day as usual I went to the Mirror now my brother you are my mirror okay Thomas say Thomas I jumped I thanked the Lord and the doctors they saw me believe shut them up so when you find some people who are sick don't straight go to share about Jesus tell them how the Lord healed you help me so in that way you shall catch their attention and then after that you can tell them about Jesus number one be led by the Holy Spirit begin with their interests testimony foreign [Music] and the officer gave him a chance to speak and when he began to speak in Hebrew everybody was quiet and listened to him if to tell his testimony how he got saved okay Court he stands he gives his testimony how he got saved yeah do you know what Jesus told him he appeared to him in a vision and told him be of good courage as you witnessed in Jerusalem you will give also witness in Rome Look At Me Now Paul was telling the people about his testimony but Jesus is saying you are telling my testimony when we tell people about how we got saved Jesus will take it personally and he agree yes it is my testimony I saved him I mean so I think I'm done with the time if there is anybody have a question I take some questions and at the end I want to pray that's in my heart if you allow me I will pray if you say stop I'll stop but anybody have a serious question not not because I gave you a chance to ask a question but if you are sincere once you ask me questions you can ask me okay if not we can use this time for prayer because Jesus said the holy spirit will come upon you is and you receive power and then you will be witnessed so all of us need power see I mean when I uh Fellowship is Thomas [Music] I received the questions how foreign you cannot say everything but he said a shared one thought it helped me a lot okay downstairs he told me when I received Christ I was totally empty uh every time he said every time when I testify I don't see the person I see his soul um when you look at a person oh he may be my neighbor maybe we see the person but we don't see that the most important thing because Jesus came to save the soul even people can foreign for which Jesus died when you put in videos and then we're going to have boldness for the safe cristosis because Jesus when I heard about it it's renewed my mind yeah uh I understood we usually look at at the outside but we have to look at the inside there is a soul there yeah and it will conquer our fear yes if you have any questions please tell them amen okay you have a question yes I do have a question um one of my friends from my childhood her son has been killed like recently like three months ago whatever and um he is I would like to write her a letter yes in their family everybody dies tragically her father her mother nephew her nephew and her son right to write her a letter that she can change the destiny of her others son and her grandchildren says hated Christians and she cursed Christian especially those who had many children she's gonna stop any every contact with me she's depressed right now how can I how can I conquer the fear however I conquer the fear to write that letter well it's easy pray and if you feel doing it do it because she's in your circle that's that's what we are talking about if you feel like doing it do it that's it so another sincere question like her because you know she care about this Soul that's why the others are da have already died but she was trying to save the the others so pray about yes come on yes jump we're running Mr come over here okay foreign these steps very important question thank you me as an evangelist I'm working with churches for me solely so is a Vietnamese Russian American German African solely soul for me so if that Soul came to Christ I lead him to Christ some of them they just hear and go okay but if he gives his life right away I will take his number and give him his number my number and then I will tell him if he's a Vietnamese I will contact him with a Vietnamese church he's a Russian I will contact him Russian Church amen I mean so we have to think like this we're working for the kingdom of God not for a local church oh my God very important point I didn't told you number four very important when you witness never ever talk about religion even if the person tried to talk about religion what's your religion which denomination this is just just turn it away I just find a way to end this subject or a certain church group tell him about Jesus tell him just show him Jesus even if if he asks you are you Catholic or Protestant some people they are serious in their question I give them answer accordingly for example in the Middle East when I am witness to Muslims I tell them I'm not a Muslim yeah and this is only for Muslims okay don't misunderstand me please balance it what I'm about to say it may it may make no sense in America but it makes sense in the Middle East so I tell them I'm not a Muslim and I tell them I'm not even a Christian huh sweaty then what are you I say I am a disciple of Jesus Christ I follow Christ if you follow Christ you receive life joy and then that's the place they touch the heart is and then once they understand and their eyes is open and born again and then you teach them about Christianity but this is in the Middle East it it makes no sense but let me tell you what makes sense in Europe and in America Germany for example uh evangelist that means are you a Catholic or Catholic Evangelical evangelist I say I I'm not a Catholic evangelicals they tell me are you a Protestant Protestant no I hate this word I tell them I hate this world I follow love I love love yes that's what I use in Germany to cut every Stone from their problem of course I hammer every religion barrier quack to show them Jesus because people need Jesus not your religion not your denomination not your education people are desperate are dying they need Jesus Christ so don't ever ever talk about religion show them Jesus once they receive Jesus their eyes will be open and then you teach them about Christianity and foundational teaching that they will not be catched by false Church false yeah does it make sense what I said my sensory God bless you you know all of us we are concerned about souls okay that's why that's why we are gathered I know many of you are work the whole day you are tired we are concerned about souls because I think you for me personally you mentioned something you know I agree on a denomination part but for example when somebody asked me if I'm a Christian this is my view I in my mind I would equate that uh with what Peter did by denying him just like we mentioned earlier in my opinion because if I sound Pentecostal or Baptist or other things I understand it makes a very good sense are you a Christian I call myself a Christian because I'm a Child of God again that would be my my challenge for me personally because I was like you know it's exactly what Peter did because like you were with him he's like no I wasn't no you were with him um that would be my thing what can you tell me to to convince me otherwise God bless you very good question I told you this is a very sensitive thing but it works only in the Middle East for Muslims okay because you're you're here in America you don't know what's going on there whatever medicine is to tell about Christ it's a life in days okay and to your question I said I'm a Christian but in another word what does Christian means follower of Christ turn the word the sentence I'm a follower of Christ instead of Christ Christian means follower of Christ that way but I'm still confessing that I'm a Christian by saying I'm a follower but as I've told you it doesn't make sense here but who knows it's good to know always it's good to know maybe one day then who knows some of you may the Lord send you to the who knows so it's always good to know one of the things that helps me when I travel I listen instruction when I came to Tampa right here in your church you have a pastor pastor we thank God so much for for you pasta and then I listen to instruction instruct me that I may not do what I do in Middle East or what I do in Africa this is a Slavic church another culture so I sit down humbly under him and listen instruction do that do that do that when I go to Africa [Music] I listen instruction of the pastor of the local church so so every nation I go I listen in instructions listen to me please it doesn't matter how highly anointed you are unless you don't the authority of structural Authority is not made by man it is made by God he's the pastor of this just that's it you come against him you are coming against the structure not him that's the way we have to understand it that church I get I go I submit to the authority that God already put yeah [Music] somebody said why do you do that foreign they have invested their time their marriage their life their money just to love you and help you and I come as a guest one day and then I mess everything so I listen I humble myself and listen to instructions why do I say that how did I get that somebody somebody said the preacher is moving in the hood he goes of course but it's we're working we are working for our not for our kingdom it's for the what for the kingdom of Christ because Jesus is the only hope so that's why I don't give my profile when I go to some church if my profile is you know oh brother Thomas from Germany he's doing this thank you God bless you and then you know no we are here to serve Jesus to show people Jesus I was telling you I don't know why am I opening this church I don't tell this thing normally publicly this Friday the coming Friday we were invited to a parliament a president the president and the Parliament of a certain country in Africa we were invited to go there but the Lord said no this time kamba uh Tampa and right now I'm here but if I tell you about what God is doing it makes no sense for you but if I tell you about Jesus then you get something um any other questions serious question if not then we will pray let us receive power as Jesus said you shall receive power no question come and then the Holy Ghost come upon you we will I'm hungry for that are you yeah I'm thirsty for that are you yep Jesus said come amen foreign with sick people um when I started uh telling them about Jesus they asked many questions and I want to answer them correctly how to approach them when they start saying oh if God is so good [Music] so questions so similar questions God bless you very good question these are the kinds of questions that I face every day even in Germany some of them they even insult me that means get away with you Jesus where was he when I lost my brother uh get away with you when I lose my my my my foot Cuts so the wisdom that I use for this kind of thing is I will I will operate in the I will begin to operate in The Compassion of God I will begin to listen to them I give them time to pour their hearts and unknowingly they will pour out their heart not to me but I touch more uh buttons that they may pull it out all their bitterness [Music] I intercede for them the word of God says in Revelation chapter 1 verse 6 um and he has made us to be Kings and Priests so I I operate in my priesthood and begin to intercede you are a priest you are a king he made you to be king and priest as a king you declare yeah and as a priest you intercede on behalf of the position and then at the end listen to me my sister mom I know your pain I understand you pain because there are many questions even in my life that I don't understand there are some things even in my life that I didn't get an answer is listen to me but instead of going with all your questions to Hell Allah it's better to accept Jesus Christ and carry all your questions and go to heaven foreign [Music] recently in Ethiopia two and a half million people died because of Civil War recently within those two years two and a half million people died with your fish people they asked where is God then you told me God is love where is he is okay at least if he's if for big people or youngisters you can tell me because of their sin maybe punishment but what about little children they tell me um that's what I tell them instead of going to hell with your question please accept Jesus Christ you don't lose nothing to accept Jesus Christ because so that's what I use um let's dedicate our time to prayer brother Thomas I would like you to the youth the youth group has a song for us they'll just uh play but I would like for you for us to give time for the Holy Spirit to minister for our church for our youth for everyone has their hearts set on evangelism um it's my desire that you know we open the door for the Holy Spirit to you know to break any you know of these barriers as we heard like fear you know religious barriers all of those things too so they'd be removed so that the spirit of God can deliver you know the word of God the gospel and so that you know we touch the area our area you know the people around us are workplaces but I truly believe that the only way that this can happen is if the power of God you know breaks and and yeah I mean you coming and sharing this is an answer prayer for me personally and for our youth I'm sure they all agree and so you know I would like for us for this prayer to be dedicated to just ask God for his holy spirit for his power fulfill us that we would be filled with the power of God boldness courage you know the ability to just go and preach the gospel and bring people to Jesus so that they'd be discipled and so that the kingdom of God would be established not just in our city but through our church through our families through the people that are here so that we would all do the work of God the commission of Jesus Christ so if you could you know just have lead us in a prayer and I okay Hallelujah let us all stand with Hunger enters to the Lord [Music]
