Краткое содержание
Это молодежное служение начинается с призыва отдать Богу все сердце в поклонении. Опираясь на Иезекииля 20:47, проповедник рисует образ Божьего огня, сжигающего в нас все несвятое. Перед собранием встает простой вопрос: готовы ли мы по-настоящему войти в присутствие Божье и принять все, что Он приготовил?
Главная весть сосредоточена на Притчах 3:5-6 - надейся на Господа всем сердцем и не полагайся на разум твой. Недавно вернувшийся миссионер делится свидетельствами о месяце, проведенном в Замбии. Один из его соработников почувствовал, что Бог говорит: один мусульманин будет спасен, хотя местный царь запретил всех мусульман в своем краю. Через несколько недель они встретили именно этого человека - владельца ресторана - и помолились об артрите его жены и боли в его спине. Оба мгновенно получили исцеление, и супруги отдали свою жизнь Иисусу.
Другие истории рассказывают о людях, ехавших тридцать часов на евангелизацию, о больных, поднявшихся с костылей, и о конференции пасторов, на которую пришло шестьсот служителей церквей, хотя другие говорили, что это невозможно. Вывод один: когда мы всецело доверяем Богу и повинуемся Ему, даже идя в неудобные места, Его слово становится светильником нашим ногам, и мы приходим туда, где нас ждет Его преображающая сила.
Главные мысли
- Истинное поклонение начинается, когда сердце горит для Христа, а не когда мы просто отбываем воскресное служение
- Надеяться на Господа всем сердцем значит не полагаться на свой разум и не слушать мнение мира
- Послушание нередко ведет нас в незнакомые или неудобные места, но Бог всегда посылает туда ради блага
- Бог может направить Своего служителя к одному конкретному человеку, которого хочет спасти, вопреки всему
- Его сила исцелять и спасать реальна и присутствует, когда мы идем туда, куда Он ведет
- Огонь Божий сжигает грех и болезнь, которые не от Него
- Бог использует обычных верующих, чтобы менять жизни других во славу Свою
Размышление
Где Бог зовет тебя довериться Ему сверх того, что кажется разумным? Легко полагаться на собственные рассуждения или слушать тех, кто называет послушание глупостью. Но миссионер, поверивший, что Бог спасет одного сокрытого человека, не был разочарован, и встреченные им супруги ушли исцеленными и спасенными. Возложи сегодня весь свой вес на Господа, следуй за Его словом, как за светильником, и позволь Ему привести тебя туда, где уже ждет Его сила.
Надейся на Господа всем сердцем и не полагайся на разум твой.
Когда Бог ведет твой путь к месту, ты идешь туда - там ты встречаешь Его силу.
Огонь Божий сжигает в нас все несвятое.
Нас называли безумцами, но мы знали одно: мы идем за Иисусом.

today on this day can you say hallelujah amen I mean it's so wonderful to be in the house of the Lord it's a great privilege for me to be back here once again as some of you may know I just returned recently from a trip from Africa is I was there for one month and I just returned about one week ago and I'm excited to have this opportunity to be here together with you once again that I could come here and share with you what the Lord has given to me there yeah and you know when I was there in Africa every morning we would gather together with our team and we'd have a morning devotion before we would start our days we would read the word of God together we would worship and praise together and then we would pray together and then share some things that the Lord reveals to us through that time and you know during these morning devotions there was one scripture that the Lord kept reminding me every day there was one scripture that I I had it memorized I had read it so many times already and you have all heard this scripture before and when I share these testimony I want to share them from a point of view of looking at this scripture and applying it to our lives it'll be just a short encouraging word for you and I'll share some of the testimonies of what I have lived and experienced in Africa is [Music] so the word of God the scripture I want to read to you is in Proverbs Chapter 3. Proverbs chapter 3 verses 5 and 6. I'm going to read it in English and then after I finish I want my translator to read both these trust in the Lord with all your heart and Lead lean not on your own understanding in all your ways acknowledge Him and He Shall direct your paths since it's a powerful two verses that I'm sure you have heard many many times to trust in the Lord with all your heart but what does it truly mean with all your hearts here what does it mean to give all of our trust over to him and when we do that how will he direct our paths I want to share a few stories that show real life examples of this you know the country in Africa I was in was Zambia of Africa Zimbabwe Zambia Zambia and this is in central Africa and in this country there was a certain region to where I went it was the western region uh and in this western region they have a king even though they have a government over the whole country this king is in charge of this western region is and when the king rules there there are certain laws he can put in place that nobody even the government cannot stop it is and you know the king put one law in place for some reason this King he doesn't like Muslims at all in Africa there's a lot of Muslims because they come from the Middle East and they go into Africa but what this King said he said I will make a law that in all my land there will not be any Muslims or any mosques it's not because this king is a Christian this King still says you can have witchcraft you can go to Evil doctors whatever you want just no Muslims um so for some reason this King really dislikes Muslim people so when when we were told we're going to this region they told us there's not going to be any Muslim people that you find um they said in that region there is not even one mosque anywhere they don't even gather secretly but when we're getting ready and prepared to go there there was one evangelist that was praying over this land uh he was part of our team he was praying in preparation for this trip [Music] and as we are praying together one of those mornings he shared with us he said that the Lord put something in his heart that there is one Muslim man in this region that he will be saved um but they told him he was crazy they said there's no Muslim people here how can the Lord tell him there's a Muslim person when the king says there cannot be any at all the next day we prayed again and he said again he felt like the Lord was telling him there's a Muslim person that needs to receive Jesus and this happened a few days in a row and and this man he kept saying I'm gonna trust in the Lord I know there's a Muslim man that will be saved before we leave and you know we were there for a month the first few weeks there was no Muslim people we encountered but then on the third week we decide decided one day to go out to eat at a restaurant now it's not very nice like the restaurants here in America you know in their restaurants you wouldn't be surprised if you see a rat running around in their restaurant they have a fly zapper inside to catch all the Flies and bugs that are flying around so the restaurant owners they're not very rich they don't have a lot of money to make the very nice restaurants [Music] but we decided to go out to eat and when we came there we met with a few of the people that worked there is and we started talking with our waitress telling them why we were there that we're missionaries that came to their country and then she turns to us and she tells us he uh she's like don't tell anybody but actually the owner of this restaurant our boss he's a Muslim I think you guys need to meet him yeah so we said okay that's the man we're looking for so during that week we met with him one time and we started talking with him about what we are doing why we are there that we're there to preach about Jesus he told us that he was Muslim but he he told us one thing he said I'm a Muslim but my wife is very very sick he said you guys say you go everywhere and you see Miracles and healings how about you come to my house and pray for my wife [Music] so we told them okay just tell us the time and where we come and we'll pray for your wife but he was the owner of a restaurant he was very very busy he was busy for the whole next week he was traveling to different cities getting supplies for his restaurant um [Music] but then just two days before we were leaving we came back to his restaurant and he brought his wife now at this point we have already seen many people in The Villages give their lives to Jesus Christ but we knew there was going to be something special about so we sat down with him and his wife and we begin to ask her what's wrong and she almost started crying she said she cannot move her wrist at all her hand she has arthritis she said sometimes at night she cannot even sleep because she has so much pain anymore she said she used to help her husband in the restaurant but now she cannot do anything to help him so we said okay we will pray so begin to pray for her and we begin to pray for her arthritis to go away and you know just after a few short seconds of praying we weren't even praying for five or ten minutes we asked her to check check her wrist check her hands and you know she began to move her hands and she began to cry and her husband is surprised he's like what what happened is something wrong he was thinking she has so much pain she's crying but she's crying and she's telling him it's all gone I have no more pain [Music] and she cannot stop crying but her husband is so confused uh John he didn't understand what happened so what we said is we asked him do you have any pain [Music] he's like well I have back pain but it's nothing as bad as my wife oh yeah but we told him no no you still have pain we will pray for you he said his pain caused him to walk with a little bit of a limp uh so we begin to pray for him after praying for a little bit we asked his wife to come and pray for him after his wife came and prayed for him his wife prayed to Jesus to heal him then the man begin to walk [Music] and he began to smile that's when he understood what happened to his wife he said all my pain is gone I'm able to walk I have no pain in my back his wife is crying she's like I have no more pain and no more arthritis and right then and there they experienced the power of Jesus then in the there they gave their lives to Jesus Christ and now we know for sure that in that area there is no Muslim people in Jesus name Hallelujah that's what happens when you trust in the Lord with all your heart you do not care what others tell you when God tells you something when he directs your path to a place you go there and when you come to that place that is where you experience the power you know there were some people that came to our meeting our Crusade meeting they came from hours and hours out of the city to come see us in just a moment show you guys some pictures you will see even pictures of tents set up in a Sandy field photography [Music] intense and the tents are set up because people came from more than 30 hours away just to come and hear us preach and pray for the sick and you know those people they did not care what the world told them they would just trust in God and when the Holy Spirit would draw them to our meetings they would come and when they come their lives would be changed their lives would be transformed they gave their lives over to Jesus they received Jesus in their hearts they experience things like they have never experienced before um if you could see the Joy on their faces the peace come upon them as they are praying how excited they are when they get healed finally when there's pain that they've lived with for years is gone you know there's I have one picture where there's a lady she's holding up her crutches that she came to the meeting and she could not walk yes I just want you to see the Joy on her face as she's lifting it up in the air yeah the victory that she has in Jesus victory over all sin and victory over all sickness that's what happens when you trust in the Lord when you trust in the Lord with all of your heart when we trust in the Lord with all our heart and we don't listen to what man tells us we don't listen to what the world tells us what the Physical Realm tells us but we put all our trust in Jesus there will be other people that look at us and they don't understand people will look at us and they'll call us crazy they'll say we're insane there's something wrong with our heads they'll say we're so stupid why are we doing these things we group we but you move but all we know is we're trusting in the Lord we know we're following foreign because it says his word is a lamp unto our feet when we follow his word we see where we should go and we get when we get to that place that's when we experience the true power of God that's when we see God moving and transforming lives that's when we see that God will transform our own lives that's when the fire of God will come upon us and when the fire of God comes upon us it lights us on fire for him and when it lights us on fire for him it burns away all things that are not of him all sickness that is not of him it burns it away all sin that is not from him the fire burns it all away anything that is not holy and not from God that fire will burn but what we must do is trust in him follow him with all our hearts with all our lives wherever we go we follow him and he will take us where we need to be Hallelujah and now I just want to show you guys a short video a few photos and videos of what I experience it's just two to three minutes you can see what I saw what I experienced when I followed the Lord you can play the video [Music] and thousands [Music] in thousands [Music] my great love it is [Music] he is sure [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] ten thousands yes [Music] that's the Muslim man and his wife [Music] this is the lady lifting up her crutches Hallelujah [Music] Hallelujah it's so wonderful to see so wonderful to see people's lives being changed when they encounter Jesus Christ when they put their trusts in him and in just a short moment I want to pray with us very quickly but first I wanted to share one more thing you saw some of those meetings in the churches when they were praying together we had a Women's Conference and we had a pastor's conference I want to tell you when we were getting ready to do those conferences there was people that told us it's not possible you can't have those conferences here they have told us we've tried to have these conferences but only a few people come they say we've done these conferences but people are from different denominations from different backgrounds they don't come to these is you'll have maybe two three or five churches come but that's it but I want to tell you we invited the leaders of the churches to come yes we didn't listen to what people told us we put our trust in God and what he told us to do it we said God you will bring the people we're doing this conference so we did this pastor's conference and we had 600 pastors and leaders of churches come to this conference that's 600 different churches all over the city coming together United in one place and that's for one reason and one reason only it's Jesus Christ because they trust in Jesus they put their faith in Jesus and he directs their paths he guides them where they need to go so I want to tell you brothers and sisters it's not just for the unbelievers for us too when we put our trust in Jesus he will guide us where we need to go it might even be places we are uncomfortable to go you know places where we're not used to the atmosphere but when Jesus takes us there we will always know it'll be for goodness Hallelujah so now let's stand to our feet and I just want to pray really quickly we can pray together so that all of our trusts would be in Jesus so that he would direct our path wherever we need to go let's lift our voices to Jesus let's pray together dear Church let's pray together lift your voice to Jesus lift your voice to Jesus tell him Jesus I put all of my trust in you Jesus Jesus I give all of my heart to you you are the Lord of my life I do not lean on my own understanding I don't lean on the understanding of this world [Music] all my faith is in you Jesus whenever I do not know where to go I will come to you Jesus I will come to your word and your word will be a lamp unto myself you will direct my path you will tell me where I need to go Jesus I put all my trust in you so you would take me from glory to glory you would take me to the places where your power is Jesus we thank you for transforming forming our lives we thank you for what you're doing in us and through us we thank you that you are using us to transform the lives of other people and we ask you to bless us wherever we would go with you that your blessing would be upon us thank you Jesus we glorify your mighty name amen we pray amen I mean Hospital or should you take your seats praise God [Music] my heart rejoices when we see the youth uh participate

foreign I would like to introduce a friend Pastoria Nick Panico Pastor Nick Panico you'll be ministering with the word today there is [Music] my wife we came to United States 33 years ago they accepted us also of brother Tim and Linda who are with us today [Music] is make the sacrifice leaving his church in Palm Harbor to minister here today what's interesting we have a lot of similarities started in 1998 the same year their art Church started when we our building here they bought their building in Target in Palm Harbor yeah and I'm very glad that Pastor Nick is with us here today God bless you thank you Pastor yeah it's my honor to be here I'm so grateful to have this opportunity I've traveled to many places in the world but I've never preached in any Slavic countries so I'm glad you brought it here to America so I could preach to you yeah I have a friend who traveled to Russia and the Ukraine and preached and ministered there many times and he told me about the services how there were two messages in every service that was the first message and then there was the second message and I've never experienced that before I like it I don't know how well the people in Palm Harbor would like it but I like it is because you can't get just enough of the Lord do you love Jesus do you love Jesus did you bring a Bible to church do you are you a Bible Toten Church obviously if you brought a Bible to church hold it up young people's Bibles Lord we lift up your word your word is truth your word is life speak to us today our hearts are open to you Holy Spirit have your will and way today I come with expectancy in my heart to receive from you today in Jesus name amen I mean amen open up your Bibles to the book of Hebrews chapter 11. and look with me in verse 6. my Bible one second is I want to speak to you today about faith that apprehends God's provision is [Music] I want to talk to you about faith that works you can't overestimate the importance of Faith it's impossible to please God without faith when you believe in God you believe in the Unseen World because and you have to have faith to believe in what you cannot see [Music] Faith opens up the doorway to God and all that he is and all that he has the writer of Hebrews said that God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him sure see faith is not just an intellectual acknowledgment that God exists the kind of faith that the writer of Hebrews is talking about is substantial [Music] um foreign see you don't have to see it but you still believe it is and that kind of Faith also requires action it's [Music] not just saying oh I believe in something you act on what you believe [Music] your belief is seen by your life uh I think all of us if we would be honest today because it is there are times when we struggle with our faith see it's hard to believe and have faith when the circumstances around you are screaming it's not true [Music] there are times when you walk through some dark valleys when you you can't see straight nothing makes sense everything you believed in and trusted in is shaking and sometimes you find yourself losing your grip is control that's why Paul urges Timothy to fight the good fight of faith is building faith and maintaining faith is a battle at times we struggle with our faith when things don't go the way we expected them to go now we struggle when we pray and believe but don't receive [Music] um we struggle in our faith when the Lord tests our faith [Music] Peter wrote about this in his letter in First Peter and he talked about trials that test our faith it's like a fire on on steel that strengthens the Steel by the fireball so let's begin our journey in this message about faith that apprehends God's provision yet I'm going to share with you quickly just four passages of scripture that tell the story first in Matthew chapter 9 and verses 20 to 22. [Music] one second and what did Jesus tell the woman what did he say to her for Faith yeah your faith has made you well because the faith that she had produced what she needed most uh she suffered for 12 years going to doctor after doctor after doctor she could find no help in the medicine but she heard about Jesus she heard that Jesus healed and Jesus was coming her way she thought in her heart if I could just Touch the Hem of His Garment I will be well and Jesus felt the healing power come out of his out of him see Faith draws out of Jesus what's in him you know foreign there was a big crowd that day Jesus was walking through and there were many people who touched him but there was one person who touched him with faith and she received your faith has made you well Jesus again in Matthew chapter 9 verses 27 to 30 talk about two Blind Men listen to their story is [Music] what did Jesus tell the two Blind Men [Music] huh faith faith what happened your faith has made you well it will be done to you're going to have what you've asked for because you believe let's look at another story this one's in Matthew chapter 15. verses 21 to 28. listen to her story foreign foreign this is for all the mothers see your faith makes a difference with your children your faith can change the trajectory of their lives I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for my mother who prayed for me every day yeah she prayed that Nick the Pagan would get saved well took her months but finally God opened my eyes and I'm here today and she's up in heaven celebrated here was a gentile woman she was outside the covenants of God is she didn't have any right to what Jesus had to offer her that day but she had a daughter that was demon-possessed and can I just pause for a moment and say something to you there are still demons in this world today [Music] don't believe that these are just stories like Fairy Tales stories this is real stuff and it happens still today it's a historianship some of the problems that people have are because they are possessed or oppressed with demons there's no pill or counselor that can counsel a demon out of them [Music] you need to enter into spiritual warfare and take your Authority and command the demon to leave but what did Jesus say to this woman 's story she didn't she didn't know the stories of the Old Testament historius she didn't have the Heritage that the Jewish people had said but you see when you've got a child and that child is greatly distressed you'll do anything and she heard about Jesus and she came to Jesus and Jesus denied her at first Jesus [Music] but she would not be denied that day and Jesus turned to her and said your faith is great and instantly her child was freed from that deal is see that that's faith that works One More Story it's in the Gospel of Luke chapter seven and it's a woman who needed salvation look in verses 44 to 50. you produces [Music] [Music] I'm gonna Namaste is [Music] [Music] he said to the woman your faith has saved you it means and it's only your faith that will save you it says I want to remind the church that it's not enough that your mother and your father believe it's not enough that your grandma and your grandpa believe they decide it's not about what your family believes it's not enough that you come to church and we're glad you're here we hope you keep coming [Music] but I want to tell you right now you could sleep in this church every day 24 hours seven days a week and that will not make you a Christian no more than sleeping in McDonald's will make you a hamburger McDonald's [Music] foreign [Music] if you're not going to live it don't tell people you're a Christian um tell them you're a Mormon so we've just read four stories about people who apprehended God's provision [Music] and how they accessed it was through faith say I'm convinced that everything we need we find in Jesus Christ that Jesus is everything we need is whether it's healing in your body whether it's deliverance from some sin or addiction whether it's financial trouble and you need God's Financial provisions and certainly if it's forgiveness you need it also believe it if you need feed your soul cleansed today only Jesus can do that [Music] all of our spiritual needs all of our emotions all of our physical needs all of your needs can be met in Jesus today all right so what what is it that my faith needs what do I need to believe in order to access God's provision what we can learn from these four stories because they all had the same kind of belief so number one faith that apprehends God's provision believes that he is able to meet the need and because you believe he is able you come to him with expectations you expect that he's able to meet you Yeshua blood cell I just need to touch his garments the two Blind Men cried out when they heard it was Jesus the disciples were trying to quiet them down don't bother Jesus and the more they tried to quiet him down it's the more they yelled out blind Bartimaeus did the same thing um this summer blind Bartimaeus the son of Timaeus he was somebody he he had a father people knew about him he'd been blind all his life but he heard the stories about Jesus and one day Jesus is passing by there was a moment when there was an opportunity can I say that to you there's a there are times when Jesus is passing by you yeah there are moments when his manifest presence is here in the room and you've got to be like a woman with the issue of blood is believing that if you could just touch Jesus you will be healed uh why'd you come to church today to come to church because I'm supposed to come to church I don't come to church pastor Nick is going to call me actually this is what's going on in your life in church you shouldn't come to church just because the pastor wants you to be there you shouldn't come to church because it's just a religious experience and expectations you should come to church because you believe that Jesus is going to be in the house when you start worshiping him and you should come believing and expecting that God's going to touch you is how about you today do you think God's got something for you today I know God's going to touch people yes and it's not because of me it's not because anybody else other than because God loves you and he loves to give good gifts to his [Music] then whatever it is you need God will give you but you got to believe that he's able God believe that he's able to meet your needs to use you got to believe that Jesus is bigger than your problems place all of your faith in God's ability what did Jesus tell his disciples for him have faith in God and you will speak to the mountain and the mountain will be moved first you got to believe that he's able second you got to believe that he's willing remember Hebrews 11 6 if you believe [Music] where the writer said he is a rewarder of those who sincerely or diligently seek Him and we saw it in all four stories I love that story because here's somebody that suffered with a problem for 12 years it was a woman who had opposition to her healing because there was there were crowds she had to break through the crowd was you know she she couldn't be concerned with other what other people thought she just knew that Jesus could heal her well she just needed a touch and she broke through the crowd [Music] and she got her healing you yeah that's right doc the Gentile woman that the Jews considered Gentiles like dogs you know and when Jesus basically told her look you know this is not for you this is for the Jews you're just a dog you're a gentile dog [Music] sounds rather harsh coming from Jesus doesn't it [Music] doesn't sound like Jesus that we sing about his love does it this is what is but Jesus was up to something just as much as she wanted to draw something out of Jesus Jesus wanted to draw something out of her and you know what the woman said that's right Jesus I am a dog I am a dog yeah but even dogs I'll just eat the crumbs that fall from the master table I don't need the whole loaf Jesus [Music] all I need is just a crumbs because if I can get a crumb that falls from the master's table I will get healed foreign Hallelujah see you don't have to overcome some hesitancy in the heart of the father to be blessed by him um it is [Music] some people look at God the Father they colluded and maybe they think he's like their father who wasn't so nice to them [Music] they think he's a Stern and harsh father just waiting for you to make a mistake so he can send you to Hell moment but that's not what Jesus described his father to be is he talked about it in Matthew chapter 7. he said ask and keep on asking he said knock and keep on knocking he said everyone who asks everyone who seeks and everyone who knocks you're gonna find it and the door will be open he said look your parents when your kids come to you and ask you for a fish do you give them a stone stone or if they ask you for bread do you give them a snake yeah well if you can do that how much more will your heavenly father give to those who are his sons and daughters [Music] um Jesus said he loves the father loves to give good gifts to his sons and daughters well what is to show you the best in your attention God wants to bless you you're his son you're his daughter and he wants to bless you the enemy of your soul the devil will lie to you he'll try to convince you that God won't bless you until you get your act together but that's not our father in Heaven that's not the god of the Bible the god of the Bible loves to give good gifts to his children foreign [Music] what do you do when he doesn't answer you Vietnam see it's easy to praise God on Sunday morning when all your bills are paid say s it's easy to praise God when the business is going really good it's easy to praise God when your wife loves you and so does the dog foreign and it seems like heaven is silent it is and there's no answer I'll tell you what to do what this Gentile woman she worshiped god without an answer she worshiped God when God seemed to say no well now um faith that worships and Praises without an answer opens the heart of God even more I don't need to tell tell you what to do when everything's going good but what about when everything's going bad and God's not answering you know what you do you press in you pray more you worship God you praise God see some people when God doesn't answer they get angry at God other people that they just worry some some people are Champion Warriors um I I got a lot of a lot of Greeks in my church Greeks Greeks um there's a lot here in Tarpon Springs how many of you are Greek any Greeks here does yes no no great holy Slavic only slavics yeah you're allow Greeks if they would come yes all right you're in Tarpon Springs they should start coming you got a good thing going here yes but you you know the Greeks they have worry beads little beads some people they they just worry about the problem but instead of worrying try praying instead of worrying try worshiping God anyhow something will happen in you and when it happens in you it'll happen around says it's called the sacrifice of praise it's praising God when you don't feel like praise [Music] it confuses the devil uh no what um he doesn't know what to do with you I mean he thought you would get mad when but you know Chico with this lit this he thought you would turn your back on God but here you are worshiping him when you fill heaven with praise it reminds me of the story of Paul and Silas they were doing the right thing evangelizing they were doing the right thing they cast a demon out of a demon-possessed girl when he is and you would think well they were doing the right thing they were preaching and casting out demons and you think what God's Gonna really bless that is God always blesses you when you do the right thing right no you know what happened to them they got arrested they got dragged into the Public Square they got stripped naked they got beaten with rods they got thrown in jail into the darkest part of the jail to damage they were chained when they believed all because they were doing the right thing you know what the scripture says about midnight in the in the darkest time of the night they began to pray and sing hymns is they began to sing you know what happened their prayers and their worship went up into heaven is and Jesus is here in that tune in Jesus and he's hearing their worship and I just imagine it moved here he started tapping his foot [Music] you know what happened you should stay at sedation the prison to begin to shake it's uh earthquake all the prison doors opened up see uh all their chains fell off see not only were Paul and Silas free but everyone around Paul and silence is see what happens when you worship things aren't going well let me give you one more time just enough time faith that apprehends God's provision is is not influenced by other people's opinions [Music] see the the disciples wanted to send the blind people away and the woman away is the religious people looked at some of the people Jesus was healing and said they're Sinners why is he touching them is there are always people that want to stop you from drawing close to Jesus [Music] Christ there are always people that think well you're a fanatic you go to a church and they have service for two hours and you come back in the middle of the week on Wednesdays you're a fanatic what's wrong with you that's not what's wrong with me no one it's the one thing that's right with me sometimes you got to press through the opinions of other people sometimes you gotta push through the crowds you have to press into Jesus you have to press into his word [Music] hold on to those promises of God that is not this means and don't care what people say the only thing that is important is what does he says and do you agree with him I'm here to tell you this morning that my God is able and my God is willing and everything I need and everything you need Jesus will give if session and I don't care how bad it looks maybe you went to the doctor is maybe they said you've got cancer and you better get your Affairs in order because you don't have long to live at a man in my church he was a he was a Dutchman his name was heli Peterson he went to the doctor Dr Ransom tests on him when they got the results back the doctor called him back into his office said you've got prostate cancer because and you have it's in stage four because Maybe maybe five years probably less you know what hell he said I don't receive that because anybody in your mindset I I don't agree with you Jan is he in Islamic because Jesus has my life in his hands so hell he prayed and the church pray it's and Helly uh lived one year two year three five in Brazil he went to a oncologist said to him I don't understand why you're still here you should have been dead a long time ago and you know what hell he said to him you know why I'm still here because you're not in charge [Music] and he lived 17 years praising and serving God I can tell you the story about the the woman in my church you probably even know remember um Barbara uh and uh oh my goodness sir Barbara Wolfe Barbara and Bill wolf do does that sound familiar unless she said Barbara got a diagnosis she went into the doctor she had a mammogram done um and they did a biopsy equilibrium and they determined it to be breast cancer they should say and they told her you you you have to either get we take the lump out or we take the breast off even though so she prayed the church prayed and she went in to have the lump removed she was laying on the operating table and they did a uh some kind of a sonogram where they could see the lump on the breasts and they did it to Mark the Spot and as they were watching the lump disappeared you say oh come on Pastor that didn't really happen I'm telling you that God's honest truth that lump disappeared in front of the eyes of the doctor and they didn't put a knife or a scalpel to her they just said well you can go home all right during worship today as I was worshiping the Lord I sensed that God wanted to do something to touch people today if you need healing in your body I want to encourage you come up to the altar first of all where let's get
