Summary

On Thanksgiving week the church gathered for a worship and outreach night, opening with praise and an open invitation to share testimonies. A young man preached from John 11, where Jesus raises Lazarus, reminding everyone that God sometimes lets a situation reach the point where there is no natural solution so that we lean on His resurrection power. The Lord can call the dead, stinking parts of our lives out of the grave for His glory and our good.

Several members testified to God's faithfulness in everyday details. A mother described how God twice answered her grandchildren's simple prayers to recover lost pets, like a wink from heaven proving He hears even small requests; another shared how a single prompting led him to the right repair shop at the right time. The thread through every story was that nothing is too small for God, and we should give Him the credit instead of calling it coincidence.

Pastor Peter closed with the story of Elijah and Elisha in 2 Kings 2. Elisha refused to leave his mentor and asked for a double portion of his spirit, and Peter urged believers, especially the young, to choose godly role models, submit to mature Christians, and pay the price for the Holy Spirit's anointing rather than settle for one quick prayer. He confessed his own failure to obey a prompting that day, warning that if we will not listen God will use someone more obedient. The night ended in a prayer of agreement to make the English service a true outreach that brings the lost to Christ.

Key Points

  • God sometimes lets problems pass the point of natural rescue so we will trust His supernatural power.
  • Jesus is the resurrection and the life, and He can call the dead places of your life out of the grave.
  • No request is too small for God; answered prayers in little things are His winks from heaven.
  • Be obedient to the Holy Spirit's promptings, because if you hesitate God will use someone more willing.
  • Choose your role models and friends carefully, or the wrong ones will choose you for you.
  • Stay close to mature believers and pursue a double portion of God's anointing, for it comes with a price.
  • We are sons and daughters of God, and our gifts and talents are given to reach the lost.

Devotional

God is never too busy with the great needs of the world to notice yours. He answered children praying over a lost pet, and He still longs to answer you, sometimes at once and sometimes after a long day of searching. Ask yourself honestly who you are following and whether you truly desire more of His Spirit. Stay close to Him, obey the quiet promptings you feel, and do not give up before the harvest comes.

If you see what God has for you, you will receive it; if you do not see it, you will not.
If God answers a child's prayer over a lost pet, is He not big enough for the prayers of your whole life?
Whatever God puts in your heart, just do it; if you will not listen, He will use someone more obedient.

testimony so if you know whatever you've been through during the week or in the last month and you could just come up front share whatever's on your heart maybe it's a life testimony maybe something that god's done in your life that you're thankful for whatever it may be this is your time this is this is going to be a time that we're just going to be able to you know pass the mic around you know come whoever it is may come forward we'll give the mic to you and you can share you know whatever it is on your heart you have to share so if anybody is willing you can raise your hand and we'll get this started it looks like we have dima so we invite dima with whatever you have to share thanks um so today i'll be preaching out of the gospel of john and if you guys could put up uh john actually let me grab my notes [Music] okay john 11 yeah john chapter 11. okay so um uh so it says yeah now a man named lazarus was sick he was from bethany the village of mary and her sister martha um and then could you go to verse 4. and when jesus heard that he said this sickness is not unto death but for the glory of god that the son of god might be glorified thereby and then chapter 15 it says and i'm glad for your sakes that i was not there to the intent that you may believe nevertheless let us go unto them so he's speaking to his disciples and god allows certain problems to get to a point where they can't be solved in the natural on purpose so that we begin to depend on him more and have that radical faith to begin to trust his supernatural hand of deliverance and jesus verse 25 says jesus said unto her i am the resident erection and the life he that believeth in me though he were dead yet shall he live um scripture says that in verse 35 that jesus wept so i find it interesting how jesus for being fully god and fully human sympathized with lazarus death and mary's loss of her brother to the point where he groaned in the spirit and was troubled jesus said um jesus said take ye away the stone martha the sister of him that was dead said unto him lord by this time he stinketh for he has been dead four days um and and he came forth this is verse 44. um and he that was dead came forth bound hand and foot with grave clothes and his face was bound about with a napkin jesus said said unto them loose him and let him go there are some things in our life that stinketh so to speak because they've been dead for days today god's telling telling us to take those grave clothes off and walk out of the grave if you have the faith of a mustard seed believe and he will not only resurrect the dead part of your life but he will use it for his own glory and your good i want to share a testimony like relate this to my life where i was on the wrong track sort of uh and my hope and god had died sort of like lazarus lazarus and i i had rejected my my hope in god and i was a place where i had just no faith and running out of hope but i surrendered to god and he he turned it around um i i got baptized and now i'm honored with the privilege to preach the good news here today and you know it's the resurrection power of god and so um i just want to pray a prayer to just allow jesus help us to allow jesus to resurrect those dead things just to say you know what it might stink it might look bad i might have hidden it in a tomb try to bury it but i still have faith that you know god god is the god of resurrect he's he has resurrection power he he resurrected lazarus and so i know he can come through in my life and and glorify his his name and use it for my good so let's pray what's that yeah so um lord we just come to you in prayer lord we just lift our voices and we just want to just come to you and and surrender and hope lord god for a new season lord just so that just like you resurrected lazarus from the grave lord you you see you are troubled by the dreams that have died in our lives father god and you weep so father god we we we believe in you we have hope in you we trust in you father god and we we know that you're gonna bring our dreams back to life lord you're telling us to come out of that grave no matter how bad and dead it looks no matter how dark and buried behind the tomb it looks lord we know that you can resurrect any dead thing so we thank you jesus this night and we pray amen thank you dima that was a very uh good word you shared with us and the testimony and i've heard more of his testimony so there's a lot more to it and i'm sure he'll share with us one day very powerful and how god the work god did in his life and so we still have an open mic kind of going so if if anyone else is willing obviously it's the week of thanksgiving we've mentioned already so i'm sure there's things people are thankful for i already see someone getting ready i don't know i don't know is is that okay yeah she didn't even have to raise her hand i fell in the spirit hi guys um it's a privilege to be here and i'll try to do best in my english broken maybe but anyways i know i know thank you honey for support i have a lot of testimonies during through this journey of cancer i have a lot of testimonies but since there is a lot of young people here i would like to share this cute but very powerful to my heart story testimony actually that happened in our household so we have hedgehogs any of you never met our hedgehog hugs actually we have female and male and how we got them there's another picture if you can show david uh more yeah that's that's that's actually like maybe an hour ago we took a picture of him um and how we got those hedgehog it's another testimony i'll leave it to rafaela to share um but we have them since it's almost a year since we have them and when we got them like maybe half a year later uh god used those hedgehogs to strengthen my face uh how how funny it might be sound but um one day rafaela put she has a female and ruby has a male that's that's ruby's hedgehog yogic and one day rafaela put her yogic female yogic it's a girl outside to you know to play in the grass and she was playing with her and that day the grandkids many of you know our grandkids they're they love to come to our house to sleep over and that was the night weekends and they were supposed to come for sleepover and they came rafaela got so excited that they came and they started playing they went into the house and the time came to go to bed she remembered about her hedgehog that she left it outside so here we go all family we went outside got our flashlights looking around looking through the bushes we don't have a lot of bushes it's like more open area but our fence is very old and has a lot of cracks and sure she must have been escaped because there's nowhere to be to find her we went outside we walked around neighborhood neighbors yards flashlights in pajamas looking for hedgehogs they're asking what are you looking for hedgehogs hedgehogs where did you get hedgehogs because in florida we don't have wild hedgehogs this this is african hedgehog and they're hand raised it's not like wild they they don't know how to live in a wild environment so here we go so many tears so many cries because the way how she got them it was miracle to her and she cried so many and the little granddaughter we have malvinka they were crying so time came to pray to go to bed it's getting late no hedgehog at all they start crying and i was looking and i how they're crying to god and asking and begging him please god help us to find the hedgehog and i listen to their prayers and i see no way we can find because it's like it's gone it disappeared there is no hedgehog no neighborhood like how far she can get away maybe somebody picked her up already and but they're crying crying to god and i ask god god if if it's your will and i know it's something silly maybe to you because there is a lot of needs in this world but answer their prayers please just for them to heal that you answer prayers even in their young little hearts so they wanted to sleep with me i i was like cuddling with them and malvimka started falling asleep she's she's younger and rafaela she just kept crying and crying and tears and crying and like why does this happen how did i forget her and all this stuff and i was like comforting her and then i see my phone message came in and i and i just looked it was late and here's the message of the hedgehog in our in the woods peter said from my husband he sent me obviously you know he he went and looked for it and he said when i was like flashing i didn't see anything i didn't hear anything but as soon as they you know put the flash flash away i hear something like you know in in leaves something like making noise so he he kept following the noise and he found her sitting there so when i saw that you know my of course i know that it's found of i told him don't you know they're almost asleep let's let's just leave it is it this and i still comfort start comforting her like you know god answers prayers you just believe you know maybe in the morning you will find her and you just believe and she was like mom but if not what if jesus didn't you know it's not his will no it's his will i was like so encouraged you know because i know i know that he answers prayers so we found when in the morning when we got up and here it is peter surprised them they were like glorifying god so excited god answers prayers and i was happy too and it was a joyful rejoiceful time in our in our household so it was it was sunday it was it was actually already in pandemic quarantine we were watching church online but peter was in church and he was preaching that day and he said make sure put kids together so they watched the service and participate we were like yes yes of course but it's hard you know they do sit but at some point they little ones they're like it's hard for them to sit in front of tv for that long time and ruby ruben he was um i don't know he got out he's his hedgehog and we went outside and he we were like if you know we have like a little house on the back of the yard now it's became our prayer house because we prayed there a lot so we went to that like we were around that house and ruby came with his hedgehog and he put it here and i was sitting there and he pushed head hug like in front of me and he started talking to me like we were talking and then he looked and he was like where's my hedgehog it was like here we go i don't know where's your head and i was like i just saw him like a minute ago and while we were talking it just disappeared and again we have cracks in the fence and that day it was um um spring cleaning day when they we have like put the stuff outside and then the car the dumpster truck comes and picks up all the stuff we had a lot of like uh construction material and household put it outside and um there is like um cracks in that fence and ruby start running around maybe it got through the cracks and got into that pile of the stuff garbage and the garbage dumpster truck is already coming to pick it up and he panicked and i was like okay come down it was like what's going on and our little granddaughter she's like why is this happening you keep losing your hedgehogs but honestly like you know ruby got really really upset he got like i can't even explain how upset he got and i was like oh please god don't don't let this happen so he's gonna be you know walking around with this sorrow in his heart and we start looking we start the dumpster truck came we were like looking and ruby was like oh no they probably got him in the trash was with all that stuff because the hedgehogs they like to climb under the tight surfaces and he was like so so upset i was looking and looking and peter came and i was looking and i was like this is can be happening this is like a joke but it's just making so much sadness and tears in our household and it's just like unbelievably like why and what for so night came ruby was so upset he went to the park he was like so upset and i was like well maybe god is teaching you something you're like try i try to put in a spiritual way like but nothing happened he was upset and then um at that time i was signed up for the prayer chain in our church we were like praying every half an hour and my time was at night so kids full house full of kids and i decided to go to the prayer house to pray for my praying time and as i was praying god really like came and touched me and the prayer was so awesome and i felt so great talking to god and as i finished praying i felt like sadness in my heart like burden like something i was like what is it god i just you know i revealed all your uh all my prayers for the church for everything that we were praying in that prank chain like what is it and then i was like oh hedgehog ruby's hedgehog he's upset and i i cried out to god i was like god i know it's it's it's maybe silly but it's important for you to show again forgive me that i'm asking you this again but please help to find this hedgehog so ruby is not gonna be so upset and devastated and i just prayed and i didn't have like faith or were gonna find him or i didn't was like oh yes i'm gonna be like looking i just finished praying as i was walking to um to the house to the through the back gate i hear something like in leaves and i remember how peter was telling how he found the the female hedgehog and i stopped and i flashed with my phone and here he is for satan like this much from the big like hole in the fence ready to come out but like i'm telling you this but it's for the whole day we lift every leaf in our backyard every corner everything there was no way uh where he would he would and then at the time god so i got the hedgehog and i brought it through there was a lot of joy and the grandkids were like rejoicing and it was like another celebration for the second day but trudeau god showed me really in my heart like if he can answer you know the prayer about hedgehogs isn't he a big enough to answer prayers like of our life and if he's that powerful you know maybe i just want to tell you guys maybe he's not going to answer the prayer like right away like i prayed and the five minutes i found it maybe there is time we need to wait or like to go through the day looking for him for god i mean or or anything like just never give up just try to keep pushing on and going forward and never never give up he's awesome even if you know he he helped to find this hedgehogs and kids like for them you know they're little and their prayers can be like so simple and so like and he just showed i was like so grateful to god that he showed the kids you know that he can answer the prayers even about hedgehogs so this is about this this story um maybe it's kind of funny but to us it's like god and he was answering and showing us his his mercies and his you know i like to say when things like this happen it's like a wink from a god from heaven that like i'm with you guys i i know i i got it i got this i mean thank you so that's a very awesome testimony like you said simple but clearly you know god shows us in little ways sometimes his power and his providence in our life so i mean i even mentioned in my sermon this morning that sometimes we brush it off as coincidence oh we found it yeah it's because we were just there right place right time you know but we just have to take that extra you know have that extra faith to even realize that maybe god is actually helping us with these little simple things in our lives that we're giving the credit to ourselves or to someone else you know for doing so very great testimony thank you to julia for sharing i'm going to give a little bit more time for testimonies we have brother peter pastor peter he will be sharing a word with us in conclusion but before we give him the mic i would like to give one more opportunity to whoever is willing um if anyone is leslie yes all right so we haven't seen our sister leslie in a little while i haven't but we're glad to have you back and uh you got the stage [Music] live stream hi audience okay now real easy um to see all your faces i just want to say them thank you for thank you i'm grateful and thank you for you all that's all i want to say thank you sister leslie it's great to have you back we're uh we're glad you're able to join us for the service and hopefully we see you serving with us you know more and more just like you used to um i know it's been a hard year and all but it's always good as when we're one you know one and together as a one big family so sure four years you've been with us wow so so sister leslie has been in our church for four years let's let's applaud that that's awesome she's been a part of our family and you know i know she serves very you know hard in the in the nursing home ministry which hasn't been going on this year and many other um places that she serves in so and we thank you liz leslie in return for you know for the fact that you come out and you serve in our church and you know with our people as one so anyone else oh brother surgery's coming up so this is gonna be good i have a feeling you know i would like to talk about the birthday of my car you know a couple months ago i got a check engine light on my car naturally abs is is so our red car wasn't working at the time and now our van is starting to act up so we started to pray for a new car computer airflow so i went to a couple mechanics and they told me i needed to uh change the map sensor yeah so i got that sensor at the advanced auto parts and with warranty and a couple other parts [Music] so i cleared the computer and 20 miles later it popped right back up and that's not really the problem and i went to a couple other mechanics airflow sensory flow sensor every one of them is saying it's the air flow sensor where you know so i can't be the mass airflow sensor because i spent 130 dollars for it and it's still moving [Music] [Music] that works on cars and he looked at it and he said that you're going to need to leave the car here because we're going to check the whole wiring of the car so i said not now but later in the week i'll bring the car so i was praying to god saying well you know at least give us a call for the time you know as soon as i got the thought to go to the dealership i had a calculator in my mind start to add up all the numbers so i know a diagnostics just a simple checkup on the car is going to cost like 200 what uh so so it actually happened that they said it's you know good thing you brought your car in because next month you're going to have the recall ends on your car so we're actually going to change the whole uh computer for your transmission and i realized wow well this is the reason why but that's you know not no not you know they changed and put in a brand new computer for the engine so pretty much renew the engine so they said we can't accept it because it's an uh aftermarket part so we need to put a nissan part in there in order to be able to do it yeah so then he looked through the wiring and he saw right behind the or right past the airflow sensor there was a the wire was cut so you know sometimes we get thoughts and sometimes it can be expensive thoughts because i had to pay 150 for the diagnostics but if i didn't go i wouldn't have even gotten a new computer you know maybe that computer would have went out shortly after and it would and therefore it's a happy birthday for uh the nissan quest so uh i guess we can i don't know if there is anybody that would like to share something shortly but if not we can uh give pastor peter the mic and he will um share the final sermon okay yes pastor peter it's your time bless you thank you it's very important to be obedient to the voice of the holy spirit as we today was praying for natalia shaq at the church because her husband anatoly he said her ankle is hurting and all this stuff we were standing right there and my eyes was laying right in here on this little box as for those who came to church very often they know it's a very special box as a box with oil when you pray for a heal and when we as a pastor is praying for a healing so we exercise what's in the bible the bible said and i was like as they were praying church was praying and for for the god heal natalia's the food whatever and lord speak to me said right after church pick up this oil and go to natalia house and pray for it i was like then i said well and the bible said they should call the pre-sweeters pastors they didn't call and another thoughts came to my mind ask brother anatoly share with him the thought you have as soon as you share with him he will invite you i was like then i received the phone call actually my wife received the text message or whatever she said there was one family from the church right after church went to the house pray and soon as they pray she went off and she's gone out and i was like you have to be obedient i know i know i just say that to you with one reason so it's no god heaven it's not it's you can't i can say that we all equal if you don't listen what's god telling you he will seat you he will put you on the spot it will make you the witness what god can do through the others who is more obedient i don't know with that family the family they just joined our church they probably was more obedient than faster peter well the trick is it's very important to whatever god put in your heart you just do it so i share that with you i just want to i'm a simple man same as you so when we as a big or small important less important more important if you don't follow what's lord put in our heart we missed we miss that we learn i humbly share that with you hope somebody will benefit it's my personal experience i didn't tell nobody so but my wife knows this so it's our story but i just share that how important god speak to us god speak to us through the service this morning god speak right now god's god's voices continue to flow into this world he said listen in the small and big so be humble just follow the christ you know what i would like to share with you before we pray god put on my heart the message about two generations two people the older generation more experienced in ian who was just follow the christ father not christ that time but god i would say because it's old testament we still believe that jesus christ jesus christ was operated in the old testament too but only the true new testament we recognize we've been introduced to the person of son of god jesus christ but bible said he was there the prophets was there the when they go through the uh to the promised land uh it was a it was a bible said it was a jesus who led them they was drink from this thorn from the rock so it's anyway so god speak in god speak today tonight through these sermons through the through through the testimonies through the preaching through the prayers worship you hear the voice of god what we do with it so it's important to understand that that that principle or this this this this is the truth the story which is god put on my heart is about elijah and elijah it's very strange so it is uh in english it's very hard to pronounce sometimes they have to say oh you spell with this in russian it's easy so it's a you can mix up this too but it is the two people who is follow the christ and i like to read the couple verses from from the from the bible if you please open up with me on the screen second king chapter two from the beginning when the lord was about to take elisha up to the heaven and the will wind elisha and elijah elijah and elijah were on the on the on their way to galil galgal eliza said to elijah stay the lord has sent me to bethel but elisha said as surely as the lord lord leaves and as you leaves i will not leave you so they went down to bethel as we read continuously um then he asked the one interesting and then through this passage chapter i mean verse 2 verse 4 verse 6 the older gentleman the prophet said to the young who is following him stay here stay behind he said no i'm going with you no i'm going with you he said i go different places he said i'm going with you so as they go to the to the to the place in the verse 9 when they had when they when the head cross crossed elijah said to elijah tell me what can i do for you before i take i'm taken from you let me let me inherit a double portion of your spirit elisha elisha replied you have asked is it difficult things elijah said yes yet if you see it if you see me when i will when i'm taken from you you will be it will be yours otherwise it will not vision if you see it you will receive it if you don't see it you not receive it see i would like to put it five points for uh who is the people you hang out with if you david please put on the screen those five points yes no it's working on it see it's important do you have a dream in your life we have a harvest celebration right behind me there is a russian words for for those who don't know they call the jatwa which is harvest yeah when a sins given week it's a little different than american since given the american since given it's about less than 270 years old the celebration this one it's about two and a half thousand years old so there's a time when you actually will have the harvest you'll see a result of your life and it's too late when it's even no time to kind of start all over again i believe it's important when you're still young when you still have a time to place your life and have a right dream for your life so when the ears come by you can receive the blessings which you put while you're young so my question today is do you have a dream what is it you dream about who you want to be when you grow up i should say when you get older i should say when you get mature so time by what do you aim it to who is your role model in your life who you want to be looks like there is a and there's another question who is the people that you hang out with do you choose them or they choose you those five points very important elijah here he was around the prophet elijah elisha elijah help me out over here elijah elisha he was around elijah he was around the prophet why because he saw something the role model in him you know a lot of people they want to follow the good role model yes with nobody going to say well i'm i'm just you know the hollywood people like those sports people all those people artists and all this stuff famous one right a lot of people so don't you know this who is the guy don't you know all this marks don't you know who's this and this who who who built the tesla you know who built the tesla what's his name huh see farther the younger the people know is that really because people say look it's so important what about those people who is following christ are they your model role models so elijah he was follow the prophet because he want to be looks like him you know what's really important was to attract the young man and this older prophet this anointing which in his life and it's it's interesting we can follow jesus we can follow the roma we can go to one conference to another we go from one ministry to to a ministry project to another we can go to the to the mission trips we can go to the just in fire for god one week couple weekends like this week next next weekends right next saturday you'll be probably in the conference in in northport there'll be so on so inspired what about following the years what about next day see there is a in this story it was a four times he said stay behind it was like almost he'd throw him a test he said no i'm going with you he proceed he stay with it because he wanna and when he asks okay what do you want up from me you know i was not so somebody said well it's not really humble right he said anointing you have the sermon you preach the ministry you do i want to double oh my man you realize you man you have some appetite you have some desire he said yes i want to double i don't want to just match your measurements i want to double what you have this is the desire for young man into the ministry he said you know that's what you're asking is very difficult but it's possible what do you think is it possible to have double anointing for your pastor have double anointing where you when you when your parents have listen the stories of the people who was before you it's very important there's another things and it's another things you know if you don't choose the people you want to be around you or you want to be around they're going to choose you if you don't select carefully what are you going to spend the sunday afternoon you don't you're just ending up this i don't know how you get there i know some people who want to be here today but because they pre-plan today they're not here and you ask them me and tomorrow you're going to say your thanks man you missed a great service i don't know i was planning to but i was just getting away bro because you didn't plan somebody else planned your plans and you ended up to be somewhere else you don't want to be you know somebody say amen on this this happens right but elijah he said i'm staying with you i paid the price for this anointing i go with you i go to the one service i go to the one mission trip i go to the one assignment i go he said no don't go with me i go to this city if you read this he named it like four three different places lord sending me me well he said i'm going with you we're talking about the followers we're talking about discipleship we're talking about to follow some role model who you want to be the anointing doesn't come right away overnight boom one prayer at the altar either change man for salvation yes this morning god give a miracle in our church the two people received the christ one was a renewal the other one i believe it was just the first time probably to really sincerely say yes lord i want to serve you those moments come just like this is the second split you don't miss it you want to be right in the right place when the lord calling you but to build the character to receive the anointing for the ministry for the life there is a little more than just a one quick prayer to really wanted to you really paid the price he was a young man elijah right elisha elijah he was a young man you have a lot of other stuff to do what the young people can do today lots of lots of lots of experience you need to go through before you settle down you will follow the lord people say right somebody might be smile but that was not his case he's followed jesus i mean lord i would say not jesus but lord god through this prophet why because he was interested in anointing the next couple points i would like to bring to our attention next slide would be talking about how to do this elijah and elisha will you receive you will see it if you see it if you don't see what god has for you you're not going to receive it the truth is in flat straight that it is i'm not going to sugar around you know let me americans say you should get on no if you don't see it you're not going to receive it if you see it you will receive it that's what the prophet said to young man if you see the spirit in spirit today we had a sermon what's god done jesus what he is doing it and what his will doing it if you not get that i'm not sure if god promised you that you will get it so night like tonight when we praise and worship night we always want to receive god what is that you prepare for me i'm already 16. i'm already 17. i'm ready 21. what's another five years of my life will be where's your dream about what do you see what you going for what you aim it to is that the god things or just earthly things when you follow the god and his god things heavenly things the earthly things will just fall right in it before you know you got everything you have you look around they said i didn't even try that but how this happens because when you take care of his business when you go with his goals guess what he's not using it people he'll love it people he will take care of your needs he will before you even know he will put everything in place because when we up to his business he'll take care of our business so the discipleship is so many people they want a free fall for following christ whatever i just kind of submit yourself under authority authority or word of god authority of the older people not necessarily physically older spiritual older who can give you spiritual advice as a spiritual advice doesn't come for free sometimes it comes with accountability when you're not just receiving it you say i'll do whatever i want do you want a growth you can go it's a free world it's not because we live in america it's a free world in spirit you can receive the blessings you can receive the forgiveness you walk through the double door and you be free it can be you can end up yourself again on the corner on the street you don't want to be nobody can stop you not even angels because it's free will of the men what about accountability to kind of submit yourself under somebody authority godly authority for your growth to reach the point when you want to be to receive the blessings to receive the double anointing why because it's got plan as desire for you to to to just don't miss the life when you come to the jatwa harvest time when you'll be 50 celebrating 50 it's nice number or like 60 whatever the good news like you say oh man it's a big numbers i know young people right now then you will have the blessings of god this on this earth but it's not that it's not the measurement we measure but it's kind of visual idea can kind of draw you but it's more and deeper behind this there is spiritual blessings you live the life you're looking back and you say thank you like david said i look at my my feet was go through the good good good throws good pass in my life so this anointing come with a price in book of act that talks about young people your daughters your sons they will see the vision they will prophesy they will dream the dreams the older people actually but when you get there you'll dream the dreams but right now you can receive the vision you can prophesy there is anointing of the holy spirit i really wish that what god will reveal this more and more to you in the simple steps just follow the christ just don't give up just don't walk away from what you start doing it continue proceed continue discipline yourself don't be staying alone just find somebody in the christ in the in the body of christ there is somebody who is older than you spiritual mature and just submit yourself and just want to be copy that and say i want to follow you i want to pray with you i want to be next to you i want to learn from you i want to be like do you have anybody in your mind who you want to be looks like the bible teaches clearly they say go and look for those who work before us just go to the end of the days how they went up to the heaven how they end their race just follow those pick up those not just the famous people from hollywood or like this world who can make a lot of money who can famous and this and this it's nothing wrong with having money but it's most important to pick up the right role model to stick with it to submit yourself and when elijah was taken up to the heaven there was a rope was falling down the elisha picked up he go back and the people the prophets the other people who knew about the journey they look at him and they say he is have anointing that's what god want to do today he want to send you to the places where people are going to talk to you see you he said this guy this girl is something different about they have god's anointing on it we live in the arab anointing of the holy spirit it's not the strange things it's important it's very important not just for your personal life for the people around you so i would like to pray i would like to pray of prayer of blessings if you would like to more and more if something god speak to you through tonight through the testimonies about hedgehogs yes i'm running at night for a hack check so i'm a simple guy i can do that i can miss the word of god i can miss the voice of god but i'm still on the journey i'm still learned i'm still sharing with you and bible said elijah was this man like you and me you know what bible said about elijah he said bible said elijah was just was simple man like you and me but when he prayed the heaven was close sometimes we think that oh people oh they're like no they all have a struggles they'll have a choice elijah had the choice in the morning to be obedient like i was ahead of the choice today to be obedient you have a choice to be obedient sometimes we just put ourselves there oh they're the holy people there right there but where's the simple exclude ourself no no no we'll say we have 24 hours a day half of the slight day half of the dark night when i said time belongs to us every split second is our time and choice to make the decisions to be obedient or not to have the desire for god or not see i draw the picture so all same in the night like tonight with worship night we like to exalt him he say lord you're the one who is give us this night you're the one who give us this desire you're the one who give us this opportunity to hear your words and we and i have a prayer i would like to pray with you that we're not gonna miss the god's opportunity in our life number one second we'll have a right role model in our lives and we will strive we will desire just something which is untouchable unseenable on sometimes indescribable it's hard to explain they call that anointing of the holy spirit but they have as truly evidence when you have it one person have it it will truly evidence will come out you do have anointing you do holy spirit dwells in you that would be the biggest desire i would like to pray the prayer that would god give the desire so we will we will just uh look in our life and just have that desire lord give me desire like you give to elijah to hang out with a mature christian yes submit ourselves to mature christian to be like one and when time has come and lord will ask you what do you wanna don't be hesitate don't hesitate just ask beyond the measurement yes don't miss that moment just have that desire yes i want more i wanna more i want more would you like to have this prayer tonight let's stand up and we're gonna have a prayer lord jesus thank you for this sunday day of your resurrection lord jesus today is

your holy name again and again in jesus name amen amen i guess we're gonna continue to praise and worship yeah let's do it let's do it let's welcome in our worship team encourage them come on give up a little more what are you like come on they have to do it one more time yeah look we love you guys yes come on don't be stingy solomon actually just came to me he had something to share with you guys as well he didn't get a chance during the the testimonies part so we're just going to give him a chance so where's the lord hallelujah talking about obedience just when he was asking people to come share something this came to my mind i should have gotten up to share it i was like oh i'm a faceter please be wrong if you don't get my accent try to understand okay thank you yeah so i was like oh i'm a visitor let me just wait fine but this is something we have to know hallelujah we have something really awesome hallelujah we have something awesome this faith we share is big amen so how many of us are sons of god children of god daughters of god how many of us everybody yes do you know that sons of god like when jesus called himself i am the son of god that was enough reason for him to be killed let me read something from luke chapter 22 verse so it's a thanksgiving it's a testimony for the testimony so from verse 68 he says that and if also if i ask you you will not answer me not let me go hereafter shall the son of man set on the right hand of the power of god then send thee all as doubt the son of god and he said unto them ye say that i am and they said what need we any further witness for we ourselves have head of his own mouth what am i trying to say when jesus was in the teachers of the lord the pharisees when he was in their court they needed reason to kill him and they just wanted to hear him say that he is the son of god which you and i say we are i am a son of god hallelujah you are a son of god you are a daughter of god they just needed to hear that and to kill him it was enough reason to kill jesus because they know that how can someone say he is the son of the king of kings like how how is it possible that someone say i'm the son of the almighty god beloved it means that there is something really big really deep really mighty we just cannot underestimated what it means for us to be sons of god hallelujah there is so much that god has put in us i mean pastor has said it all god bless you there's just so much so let's let's there's something to god something to cherish if your parents are believers and you happen to come to church and you get born again saved this is something you have to god hallelujah and glory to god that we are sons of god amen [Music] and that's our drummer god bless you solomon you know um it's thanksgiving weekend i want to say uh that we're that we're we're grateful to god that uh we're different people but we came together knowing that god gave us a gift and a talent and we shouldn't dig it up and the bible says that each one some were given five some two someone no one was given zero that means if there's about 30 people here there's minimum 30 gifts and talents here minimally and we can't dig it up we can't because he's going to come back he's going to ask us for it but we're not going to go into praise and worship uh what we want to do we want to share kind of our heart our heart is to evangelize the the meaning of this band is to evangelize and we've been practicing uh for for some time now because we want to there's a verse in a bible that says that if you do god's work carelessly you're cursed so what we want to do god's work the best and the best takes time as we heard you can get answered prayer you know five minutes or you got to wait sometimes and we're willing to wait we want to do it right before god and of course there's mistakes and whatnot but you know if god's anointing is there then he's there so uh the point of of this band is is to evangelize and the songs that we're going to be playing right now um it's not your typical church songs it's not your typical church style um these songs are meant to reach the people in the world okay and the lyrics are as well we want to present the songs to people and in there there's a gospel so um we're we're going to be playing two songs the first song is called temple in the book of acts chapter 7 god says heaven is my throne and the earth is my footstool where can they put me on earth which building can they put me in and god answers his own question in corinthians he says in you you're the temple that i'm going to be dwelling in you're the temple that uh your body is the temple of the holy spirit that's why we as christians your body is a temple your body is a temple take care of your body your body is a temple of the holy spirit and that's what we want to sing it's called temple all right let's just start guys [Music] all things are lawful but not oh prophet the road we want is narrow led by the spirit from dust i came to our return but what's built on the inside will stand over burn did you not know your body is a temple of god's spirit did you not know your body is a temple of god's spirit [Music] jesus came to live and to die he rescues the sinner to live into life i carry his image the image of god for i am his temple i'll just be god alive did you not know your body is a temple of god's spirit did you not know your body is a temple of god's spirit did you not know your body is a temple of god's spirit did you not know your body is a temple of god's spirit all things are now new god's spirit lives in you the oldest passed away he calls you now by name no matter what was done [Applause] to christ you now belong you've been bought by blood you carry the spirit of god [Music] yay [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] so [Applause] [Music] [Applause] hmm [Music] do not know what is [Music] a temple of god's spirit [Music] amen slavo praise the lord and uh the second song we want to do um it's called i have what i need and a few years ago i had a conversation in my head between an atheist and a christian and god kind of uh influenced me to put the song together so it's a conversation between an atheist and a christian so i just want to go on a record by saying these aren't my words it's the atheists so when you guys are going to be reading and singing along know that it's the um there's an atheist speaking and then the christian comes so [Music] i stepped outside from my front door here comes a man whose hair is up with a suit and tie in a bible in his hands he started to speak and said a name that i don't really like stop talking it off my heart and i started to shout don't need christ it's all good i'm all fine i have what i need i don't need christ he's a lie i'm already free you don't know that you're dying inside [Music] you're a slave to your very own [Music] every day i drive my car and see these weird signs or pentor else you'll see the wrath of god and due time why should i fear a viable that i want to need and with my strength i've got an old necessities why do i need christ it's all good i'm all fine i have what i need i don't need christ he's a lie i'm already free but you don't know that you're dying inside you're a slave to your very own life [Music] listen close to what i have to say you've asked yourself many times what does my life mean you feel it now deep in your heart there's something you're missing well i hope you'll listen without christ there's only death it's not hard to accept this truth he was crucified and gave himself to save you look around there's more than this you feel it deep in your soul just says lord he's your savior he'll give you a new song it's all good i'm all fine i have what i need his name is christ he's a lie he said leave me and i know that i'm living inside with the blood of jesus christ it's all good i'm all fine i have what i need his name is christ he's alive he set me free and i know that i'm living inside and i've been back with the love of jesus christ [Music] so [Music] it's all good i'm all fine i have what i need his name is christ he's a lie he set me free and i know that i'm living inside and i've been born with the blood of jesus christ [Music] amen be blessed thank you guys that was very very nice to hear very good songs i'm sure you guys put them together yourselves right so that's talent and art all in one and uh me personally i'm really glad to see you guys have a heart for evangelism and you want to reach people and you're looking for ways and opportunities by using your gifts and talents in order to reach people so we really appreciate it for you guys coming out here and hopefully even this service will become a place for you to serve as well in the future um we will be coming to a close uh thank you peter for your word as well and all the testimonies that we had today along with the band that came and served us but most of all we want to thank jesus for being here with us and for being here with us always until the end of times and we're just gonna in our final prayer give all glory and praise to his name and give him peter after service nobody come to me how about if we're going to have a prayer of agreement you see this is a sign behind me in russian say jatwa what would be in english harvest harvest and this night is a we call that english service but truly is let's stick with original vision this is the outreach so it's not as strange to have those songs today samuel that is actually you remind us to kind of like in what it's all about this night to outreach and i would like to propose is we're going to pray to the final if you include this in a prayer lead us into it the prayers of agreement that will continue to pray lord jesus let us see the fruit let us see the result see that right in here it's not just constant counseling medicine it's what he said in english uh integration no no coincidence no coincidence they say again coincidence it's not that there is a god's god's plan you see all the harvests you see all the jata behind me harvest this night supposed to be about this lost souls so i propose when you're going to lead us in the last prayer to invite us to the prayer for agreement you pray we pray we agree we will stay we will focus on what god has desired for if we're not going to simply walk away from it that's my proposition for prayer awesome all right yeah that's that's great because from the very beginning this was to be an english outreach service sure we may use the excuse of coronavirus this year or whatever it may be maybe we just haven't been as effective in our evangelism to begin with but let us let us come into this agreement as peter spoke about and unite as one and agree to bring people to christ and this is a perfect platform in order to do this we have everything we need in order to bring people into the kingdom of god so let us stand to our feet as we go into prayer i'll make a couple announcements right after the prayer but let's just agree to continue to outreach to continue to reach out to people and bring them to a place where they can hear music about the gospel they can hear music about jesus and they can hear a word for their spirit about jesus that would we can bring salvation healing and deliverance to the people in this world and bring them from darkness into light let us just pray and ask jesus and thank him for everything that he has done jesus we thank you so much for for you and and your your presence here in this place this evening lord we thank you for the worship and for the talents and the gifts that we saw at work today lord we thank you for them and we we ask that you continue to you use them and serve uh have so they would serve you continually god and bring people into your kingdom through their music through their gifts through their talents lord i also pray that every testimony every word that was spoken today lord let us all move forward let us continue to outreach let us continue to evangelize let us bring people into your kingdom lord we thank you so much for everything you have given us all the talents all the gifts that you have placed into into our lives god let us be let us be effective and let us move in this let us actually use use these things that you have given to us lord we thank you for your holy spirit that is guiding us your holy spirit that is always present with us lord let us build and deepen our relationship with your holy spirit so that we can become effective christians lord in this english service that we originally dedicated to bringing people to you lord let this be a rededication let this be a a an all of us in agreement agreeing to unite together in order to continue to bring people into your kingdom lord we thank you so much for this evening service for this time for the people here in fellowship lord and as we go home and and continue our lives just be with us guide us and lead us into all of the things that you have willed for us lord in jesus name we pray amen you made oh god guys one thing um so i mean we're we're a band first of all pray for us if when you're when you guys are home in your daily prayers prayers and you remember pray for us one thing we want to be a band um there's one guy that's kind of more important than every instrument you guys know what i'm talking about it is jesus but he's in the flesh so mark in the back he's unnoticed but he's the guy doing the sound how's the sound today amen mark thank you thank you god bless you i just wanted to point that out yeah so the talents the talents on the stage aren't always the only importance we all know you know in our church services that we have our sound sound booth and many people in the background that make things happen decorations sometimes you don't even know who did him but there there's a team that takes care of that so there are many many hidden gifts and talents but they are no less important than the ones that are on the stage so you may take your seats i'm just going to do announcements real quick and then uh we'll be on our way so the next uh service like this we will have on the 27th of december so it'll be kind of you know christmas we have a touch of christmas maybe a little bit of new year's in there and it's a great opportunity as peter mentioned earlier to you know bring your friends invite your neighbors invite just you know co-workers whoever you come across i mean the key to it would be for us to pray and and ask god to show us somebody or reveal to us maybe we'll you know during our week we just come across somebody and we feel the holy spirit say this is the person you need to invite or maybe even send a text message to somebody just keep it in your prayers and you know little do you know you'll see god leading you in it so uh the 27th we'll see you there um i even heard that the youth may have some kind of little special thing that they might be organizing or taking doing um which you'll see i guess when you get here it will be a surprise if it happens so god bless you all and you know greet each other fellowship and see you next month god bless you you
