going to send them off to Sunday school sooner this is our future yeah this is our blessing the best that God could have given us I remember when I was their age or maybe even younger and when my mom would gathers and just read us stories from the Bible and I remember them too this time and it's very important that our children now go into Sunday school when they look at his lower abortion they listen to the word of God we pray for them and that's how faith is transferred from generation to generation Luke 18 from verse 8. Jesus Christ said the following words when the son of man comes to Earth will he find faith on Earth doing this because I was sure he's not going to look and see if we're living in abundance if we have peace if we are living in love if we whether or not we love one another but he actually said will I find faith is and for that we are sending off our kids to Sunday school so that God would strengthen their faith set the Living Faith of Jesus Christ would live in them I would invite us all to stand to our feet is stretch forth our hands and bless the kids and the teachers Army foreign you know as as the first as one of the first songs we were singing is said the Church of God is the light and the Darkness isn't it wonderful to be in this church to be among these people that are this light for this Dark World I know for me it is definitely wonderful to be back I I just got back home a week ago I was living in Orlando for three months I was studying there and then I went to Africa for three weeks and I was able to put into practice what that which I was studying today how to preach the gospel how to pray for the sick and how to listen to the Holy Spirit and I want to tell you this changed my life so much and today I don't want to preach too much I want to share some testimonies of what I experienced as I was in Africa I was there with 122 other students and the way we would do it is we would all split up into groups of four and we would go out in our groups of four and we would preach we would take turns preaching um so somebody would preach and somebody would pray for sick and then maybe someone would preach to the little kids and someone would preach to the older people and then maybe even someone would pray for the Holy Spirit while we're ministering to somebody else and it was just a time that was filled so much just all the time ministering and ministering and ministering uh and I want to tell you guys some testimonies but before I do I want to read the word of God and I want to tie it into these testimonies a little bit so in the Book of John chapter 9. in The Book of John illana John chapter 9 verse one and I will read down to verse 5. it says now as Jesus passed by he saw a man who was blind from birth and his disciples asked him saying Rabbi who sinned this man or his parents that he was born blind and Jesus answered neither this man nor his parents sinned but that the works of God should be revealed in him I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day and the night is coming when no one can work foreign amen amen hallelujah and so I want to tell you a story when we were in Africa so we went to one we came to one Marketplace and there's many many women that are like selling things trying to sell things to us and they can tell we are we're foreigners so they were asking us where we're from some of them were asking even for me to take them back to America with with me but so we finally set up all of our speakers and we got ready to preach and we um so first one of my friends preached and then I got to the honor to pray for sickness and my friend was preaching for so long he was preaching for like more than 30 minutes that he was already losing the attention of people so then when I finally got got up and got the microphone and started to pray for sick people to pray for five people and so I began to pray for the sick and I start to pray and I kept praying and I'm praying because I don't know who I'm praying foreign [Music] [Music] I said if any of you got healed and you have evidence of your healing yes can you please come to the front I want to hear what they got healed from I wanted to hear what Jesus was doing in that market and then one man from the side of the road comes up to the front none of us not me or my team we haven't seen this man before but this man comes and stands next to me and he begins to testify uh he starts telling us how he was just walking by on the side of the road he just heard me praying and so he just sees a white man praying really loud so he decides to stop and listen and so he's listening and while we're praying he realizes that he has a Band-Aid on his knee he wasn't able to bend his knee [Music] and so as we're praying he says all of a sudden his knee begins to feel better he gets more and more strength into his knees and then all of a sudden he can bend his knee and then all of a sudden he said all the pain left and he was completely healed and I have a video of this man that I want to show you guys I want to show you this man that got healed so can we play this video so so this so the man this was his knee that is has a Band-Aid on it and as you can see he's beginning to unwrap this Band-Aid he's beginning to take it off and we were asking him how did you get this injury how long did you have his in this and this man began to tell us he said yesterday I was walking down the street at night and he said all of a sudden a gang a gang a group of men jumped out and began to attack me and he said they were attacking him and they injured him so much that his knee he couldn't walk home he had to wrap his leg in this Band-Aid and he was barely able to walk he walked but then you can see at the end of this video he was bending his knee he took off the Band-Aid and he was completely healed but I want to ask you a question why was this man why was he attacked why did he get injured in the first place he had Cuts all over his body his knee was injured he couldn't walk but I want to tell you as he was passing by yes he didn't hear us preaching but he heard us praying for the sick and he realized he had something that needed to be healed and that day he got healed and after he got healed one of our pastors but he said he didn't hear it he said he didn't know who Jesus was and my friends I want to tell you because of this healing that happened in his body is he once was a Muslim but he realized that Jesus was the one true Living God and because this man got healed he gave his life to Jesus and he got connected with these pastors oh so I want to tell you my friends that this man he might have gotten attacked and he might have thought it was a curse maybe he thought it was some sort of bad luck that he has but I want to tell you that God did that so that the works of God could be revealed in him God allowed it to happen so that then he can use that for his goodness so that he can use that to save a soul from going to hell to go to heaven is and that's just so wonderful to me and we had so much more happen on this we would find anywhere we can go where there were people just so we could preach to them sometimes we even had to get very creative one time I even had to get onto a roof to preach to people so they could see me just like in the Bible when they were on the rooftop they had to get to get to Jesus it was a busy road and there were cars driving by the whole time so I had to get up high on the roof but God gave us Grace and it was so wonderful to see my friends and I want to give you guys a few numbers of what happened there on this trip she's this is an exact this is just what we estimate as what we as humans could count but we do not know only God knows the real numbers but while we were there for three weeks in Africa there was 122 students for evangelism they're preaching we we saw 1780 people get healed 780 people get healed we did 2860 outreaches in those three weeks we were able to preach to over 500 000 people that's 500 000 people that heard the gospel and out of those 500 000 we estimate about 350 000 made the decision to give their lives to Jesus statistics 350 000 gave their ears and that's just from 122 people going to Africa for three weeks brothers and sisters there's like about 150 of us here imagine what we can do to this this area where we live foreign [Music] [Music] to First worship God and sing praises to the Lord and second to listen to The Gospel as it was preached off the stage and this is on the first night and there was over a hundred thousand people there and tens of thousands of people made the decision to follow Jesus on that one night and then on the next night we preached about the Power in the Blood of Jesus and we preached that it was stronger than any demonic power in this world because many of those people they believe in witchcraft they believe in witch doctors they believe in all these demonic things demonism uh and so we invited them to to bring all their witchcraft that they had um all those bracelets all those necklaces all those books filled with spells and this is a picture just one we had four barrels full of Witchcraft which we burned at the end of the night photography is and that was people willingly giving it over because they had giving their lives to Jesus [Music] they had realized that this no longer is of use to them that all of this witchcraft it is all false that it is only Jesus and it was so wonderful and then on the last night on the last night we had such a big crowd gathered uh there was over 500 000 people there to listen to the man of God preach the gospel and it was so wonderful just to be there and experience just to see a nation shaken with the gospel and that is also wonderful but I want to tell you a story of what happened with my team and with my team it was I would say the second week that I was there um we came to the small village and there wasn't many people there but we came there and we began to preach to these people and there was like a Muslim School in the background but we were preaching to them all the children could hear what we were saying so whenever the kids had a break they would all run out to try and listen come closer to where we were because but we felt like a heaviness heavy presence in this area we could tell it was a very hard Muslim area so when we would go out to preach these Muslim teachers would come out and take the children back to school so that they couldn't even listen to us so as we were preaching there weren't very many people that were like receiving what we were trying to give them so we did an altar call and we invited them to come to the front who wanted to give their lives to Jesus and there was about maybe five people that came but still those five people gave their life to Jesus Christ and then we began to pray for the sick and as we were praying for the sick we had two testimonies come up first a lady who couldn't lift her arm in the air her shoulder was in such terrible pain for seven years she was lifting her arm and praising the Lord as we finished praying foreign [Music] and it was wonderful but then there was a boy that came on stage and this boy came up and he said he had some injury in his leg he said his leg hurts so much he couldn't put it on the floor he would just have it hovering always as he would walk he would hop around everywhere he went again he couldn't put his leg on the ground but by the end of it he was walking home perfectly fine he was walking around the stage where we were and Praise Jesus for these Miracles but there was something much much bigger That was supposed to happen in this Village [Music] so as all these people saw these miracles happen our leader told me to do another altar call maybe invite a few more people in prison so I did it again I preached and I did another altar call really quickly in five minutes because they saw the power of God and a few more maybe like two or three more people came up to give their lives but all of our team just felt that there was something something there that something more that was supposed to happen so as I was praying for this little boy that got his leg got healed my team sees this crippled boy crawling in on his hands he couldn't walk his legs didn't work and he was about the same age as this boy that was testifying he crawled into this meeting on his hands because he wanted to see what was going on he crawled to the front because he wanted to get healed he asked us to pray for him and so one girl from my team says she comes up to our team and she says because God Did It for that one boy that testified he's gonna do it for this crippled boy as well so we started to pray for him and we started to pray and I started to pray like we were praying for like very long maybe 15 20 minutes first I was praying for like five minutes and then my teammates started praying for another five minutes and then another team member started praying for another 10 minutes and we're praying and praying and praying and nothing's happening but then we we decided our leader told us we had to finally leave we have to leave this Village we can't stay here all day there's other people in the city that we have to go and preach to yes so we tell this young boy we tell him we say like you we believe you will walk home um we believe that you're going to walk home today we believe that you're going to walk we believe that Jesus has healed you because Jesus already paid for his healing when he died on the cross but we told him sorry we must go we can't pray any longer we [Music] so as we begin to walk away as we begin to leave we turn around because the village starts screaming and then a girl in my team pulls out her phone and starts recording is I want to show you this video of what she recorded if it works I want to show you this video this is this is the boy that we're praying for this is as we are praying for him this is where praying for him he's asking us he wants he's believing the Lord to heal himself we try to help him to walk but he wasn't able to walk on his own so we we so this is us saying goodbyes to him and this is the boy with his crippled legs he can't even move his legs and that is him walking home that is that boy walking for the first time in his life back to his house this crippled boy that was 13 maybe 14 years old that has never walked in his life before this is him taking his first ever steps in life we asked his parents has he ever walked before the whole village said he this boy has never walked in his life he was just so happy just to see The Joy on his face the first time in his life he ever took steps and we began to tell him about how wonderful Jesus is and as he was walking home as this boy was taking his steps to his house the whole village was going crazy because that boy's parents were Muslim everyone in that Village was Muslims yeah but as soon as every person saw this boy walk home they began to run up to us they were asking us for us to pray for them so again we preach them about Jesus we told them about Jesus is the one who heals and almost the whole Muslim Village gave their lives to Jesus they started to bring more sick one mom brought her baby who was about seven years old that has never been walked also was crippled and this baby took its first steps as well [Music] all the kids from school brought one of their friends that was blind in one eye um and we prayed for him and he everyone started going crazy because he could finally see he uh and I want to tell you that that boy that was born crippled that boy that had to live 12 13 years of his life never taking a step God was able to use him to show God's glory in that Village to break every Power of darkness in that Village break every religious spirit in that Village and just breakthrough was able to happen in that Village and as we were leaving that place you could just feel a happiness and joy we choose it no longer felt dark foreign and I want to tell you my friends that Jesus said as long as he is in the world he is the light of the world that Jesus is this light inside of us that when we go to these places and see these Miracles we see them because Jesus is the light shining inside of us his holy spirit lives in us and he is the one that gives us power to see healings and we can be be this light to the world anywhere we go it's not just we have to go to Africa to see the crippled get up and walk we are the light that shines the world anywhere we go and if you're telling me today my friend yes it was you say I feel like I'm not shining that much light yes maybe I feel like I don't even have that light so much in my life maybe I feel like I'm in a little bit of Darkness I want to tell you there's a solution for you you see when we when we stand outside and we Face the Sun in the sky we feel the warmth we see the light but if we turn away from the Sun and it's shining on our back all we see is the darkness our shadow in front of us every step we take it's Into Darkness so if you feel like you're living in darkness today yesterday I want to tell you it's because you're turned away from the Sun you need to turn back to the Sun but it's not the Sun in the sky you need to turn to the Son of God and that's Jesus Christ the one that gives True Light to every single one of us when you turn back to Jesus and you face Jesus Christ and you follow Jesus all that you will have in your life is light and me and every single one of you we will be the light to this world because it's the light of Jesus reflecting in us so I want us to stand up right now and pray and I want us to pray first of all if we have darkness in our life if there's something in our heart that we haven't surrendered to Jesus that we would just turn back to Jesus we would give our lives fully to Jesus that his light would shine in us and I also want to pray that his light would shine through US Vietnam to the whole world so that we would see like the Bible says we would see the blind eyes open we would see the deaf ears open we would see the lame and the crippled walk and everywhere we go we would see people giving their lives to Jesus so our light would shine to everyone around us so right now let's lift our voices in prayer to Jesus call upon the name of Jesus if you need that Darkness to leave call upon his name if you need his light to shine through you call Upon Jesus and the Holy Spirit is this out of the bottom of your heart right now lift your voice to Jesus Christ Jesus we praise you and worship You Are Holy Jesus there is none like you we give you glory and honor Jesus because you deserve it all Jesus you are wonderful Jesus and we just ask right now Jesus we repent of all darkness of all sin and we turn back to you Jesus we ask you to examine our heart if there is anything in our lives that is not from you Jesus we ask that your fire come down and it would burn everything that is not from you and we turn to you Jesus and we give all that we have to you Jesus we ask you to forgive us forgive us of our sins Jesus to set us free of all Darkness Break Every Chain just let your light shine in every single one of us that we would no longer be in the darkness but we would just face you we would turn to the light we will turn to you the Son of God Jesus and we would receive this blood that we would just be watched clean by your blood Jesus that you you poured out on the cross and we just ask that you just shine your light on us every single day that we would have your light shining through us holy spirit that as we walk as we live our lives that the fruit of the spirit would be evident in our lives because we are spending time with you Jesus because your light is in our lives Jesus everywhere we go your light is shining through us Jesus that we would walk on this Earth as the disciples walked in the book of Acts that we would see signs Miracles and wonders that are greater than you have ever done Jesus because the holy spirit is living in every single one of us Jesus that would be this church that is a light to the world it would be this church that is set on a hill that is shining to the whole city that this whole city around us would know who you are Jesus because of your light inside of us because there is a light that is burning in this church right now because it is flame that is being lit in every single person right now holy spirit we ask for your fire for the fire of God to come down the fire of God come into every single one of our hearts holy spirit that as we go and step out we would step in boldness Jesus everywhere we would go we will not be afraid to talk about our savior we would not be afraid to mention the name of Jesus that we would go in boldness as lions and we would talk about the King of Kings the Son of God the one who died on the cross and paid the price for every single one of us that this love would just melt our hearts that we would feel your love Jesus to other people around us that we would see the sick and we would pray for them because we know you want to heal them Jesus we know you want to show your Works in every person in this land Jesus that your glory Your Glory which shine on this Earth through us that you would use us For Your Glory Jesus you would use us to show this world who the one true Living God is you would use us to show your glory to this world and so that you Jesus you would receive the reward of your suffering so that every eye would see every ear would hear that you are the one true Living God and they would see your power Jesus and we just asked that we just shine shine bright shine like you Jesus so we would be like Moses when he comes from the mountain our faces would be shining with your glory that any time we spend in prayer in the secret place in the church that when we leave today people would see our faces shining with your glory so that your name would be glorified because you are the one named Jesus that deserves all the glory and all the honor and all the praise we give you glory and we praise you Jesus and Jesus mighty name I

patiently quietly listening but when you preach there it's different there are some that are listening some that aren't listening some are yelling some are interrupting but you know the mission of God and you continue to go and preach and I would like to add on to what Brother David preached to read from Acts chapter 2 verse 36 and uh the following the center of tomorrow before we read this place from scripture I would like to give us some context is when Jesus Christ was went up into heaven it means he told the disciples to not leave Jerusalem until they were clothed with power on highness and when on the day of Pentecost the Holy Spirit came down on the 120. even if they began to speak in other tongues and people were looking at all of this that was happening they were receiving it in different ways some were amazed some left is what is happening here what is going on Apostle Peter out of the 11 stood up and said it is that everything is okay prophets were prophesying about this moment the prophets prophesied that the Holy Spirit would come down upon all fleship Rose and they he spoke about Jesus Christ saying he was the Messiah in which you have crucified and from verse 36 we will read foreign [Music] maybe some of them were the ones that were screaming yes crucified maybe some of them were the ones that were spitting into his Direction but Peter reminds them he confirms it for them even that even they can be forgiven and saved if you repent is receive Jesus Christ as your personal Lord yes and I am thankful to God that he gives salvation freely absolutely absolutely freely Moses [Music] eternal life God gives as a gift to absolutely all what else or what goes further [Music] you know my children they were still Little Jacob and Cornelius Vanessa may have not been born yet and they always told me that it's really hard to be a Christian you know the children from childhood the ones that believe in Jesus Christ they already begin to experience the spiritual battle and so they come into it and they experience and they feel that there is this kind of Battlefield Apostle Peter when he preached and three thousand were saved is pay attention to what he said to those that were that were saved that's 40th verse in which we read foreign with many other words he warned warned them and pleaded with them in other words he was just warning them he was speaking to them what did he what did he say s he said save yourself from this corrupt generation reituities save yourself from this corrupt generation today we are saved praise God we are children of God praise God but the Holy Spirit speaking to us saying save yourself from this corrupt generation you know this understanding that we have to save ourselves from a corrupt generation or the understanding that eternal life can be lost it begins from the very beginning from the first church the apostles and disciples they taught that we must hold on to eternal life and therefore he says save yourself from this corrupt generation one person and what does it mean to save us what does it mean to save it I opened uh the dictionary yeah and I asked Google what what does it mean to save yourself in the dictionary of this world explains it this way it says to protect yourself from Death Or to avoid that [Music] you know I remember many years ago yes and I got onto a fishing boat with my children from Howard Park to the anglo-key island and we went from Howard Park to uh in cookie Island some of you may know it's not far but it is Jacob really it's either you know life jackets and even myself [Music] we got into this boat and we hurried back home so this storm wouldn't get us equal image [Music] and when we got to the Middle where it was hard to see one Shoreline in the other eve and these clouds got even more and more and worse wind began to get stronger in the waves and uh we are on this little John Boat with a small motor just uh swimming acrylic and the waves were so big that they were actually getting inside the boat and I was so worried I was trying to save him I was saving myself from Death because it was a scary situation Jesus Christ Jesus Christ reminds us to save yourself from this corrupt generation world that is around us is Jesus prayed to God saying I pray that you don't remove them from the world but to protect them in the world and Jesus Christ wants us to save ourselves uh and I would like to read from Genesis 1917 19 verse 17. this situation would love when the Angels were uh when they were fleeing uh Sodom and Gomorrah is and as soon as he had brought them out one of the Angels and he told him he said [Music] Flee for your lives don't look back and don't stop anywhere in the plane flee to the mountains and you will be swept away and I would like us all to say it to our neighbor save yourself from this uh say it to your neighbor to give yourself into salvation and I began to think about it we're not talking about our physical salvation but the salvation of our souls and I began to think truly we cannot save ourselves spiritually we cannot save ourselves with our own strength meaning we cannot save ourselves we can't even save ourselves with our Good Deeds because we agree that we are saved by grace through faith is a position and not with any works less anyone May boast but I would like to say but we are able to not give ourselves to be safe and we can not allow ourselves to enter into the grace of God in order for it to save us and I believe that the problem by which a lot of people are not saved today because they do not allow God to save them [Music] us they don't give God the opportunity in order to save them absolutely we know that the Lord wants to save absolutely absolute every every person another small Sinners and the great Sinners God wants to save all mankind and we read in first Timothy Chapter 2 Verse 3 and 4. foreign [Music] the Lord wants all people to be saved letters has to come to the knowledge of the truth a person that comes to the knowledge of the truth they are saved a person that does not come to the truth does not get safe it says you will you will know the truth and the truth shall set you free and who is the truth [Music] I would like to read a letter to Titus chapter verse 11. foreign for the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people is for the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all yeah it's him I want us to Imagine This gifted grace to the Earth God's grace is filling the Earth today and regardless of where you are today God's grace covers the whole earth in order to save man but not all people allow disgrace to save them not always the grace of God that is present in the house of the Lord it is a blessing to all is saving all right why isn't it it's because the person is it doesn't always give this opportunity for it [Music] not always does a person allow the grace of God to act in their life says that the grace of God that saves all people and that same chapter verse 12. it says it teaches us that are far away that are um foreign godliness and worldly Passions and to live self-controlled upright and godly lives in his present age and verse 13 says while we wait for the Blessed hope the appearing of Glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ who gave himself for us to redeem us from wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own eager to do what is good because that these then are the things that you should teach encourage and rebuke with all authority do not let anyone despise you and I will begin from the last verse you know this 15th person that we just read it it's specifically addresses uh preachers especially to those that are preaching the Full Gospel the Full Gospel Apostles Apostle Paul writes to Titus and says so you would know when you will be preaching the Full Gospel all people will be listening some will receive what you are saying some will not receive what you are saying some will be laughing I will twist what you say he says when you preach about Grace you must preach the full understanding of God because there will be people that will be inside of Grace but you have to preach the full Grace and truly the full Grace it has a wide range of work in our life God's grace is not only to save a person but it guides the person and leads them into yeah and when I looked into it I see five things that the grace of God does the things that God wants to see in our lives as the grace of God is at work I'd like to ask us all here today [Music] do we see God's grace as it is in working at work in our lives for example number one do we see how the grace of God Saves us do we see how it has saved us if we see praise God the second is do we see the grace of God that teaches us do you see this don't look at someone else but for yourself do you see how it teaches and guides in your life number three number three minutes do we see how it leads us to leave uh ungodliness and living by worldly passions do we see this or do we not see this God's grace in which saved each one of us it does not stop there it continues to do its Godly work in our life and and it shows us that we begin to be wise become wise wisely so God's grace also allows number four to allow us to live wisely right righteously and in a Godly way it is um you know Christians should be an example for the whole world how to live example they are the example foreign foreign believer and a non-believer when God's grace is at work and a Believer their thoughts are pure and you're taking unbeliever where God's grace I'm thinking about unless they think about themselves for themselves and God's grace the same Grace that saved us we have to realize and recognize that this Grace leads us to a desire for this blessed hope of Jesus Christ Jesus Christ coming do we truly see ourselves in a place where God's grace is doing this great work in our lives we aren't just coming to the you know to church but we're actually awaiting the coming of Christ because he works in our lives you know he gives us these thoughts these good desires to do as well may it just thin we are a part of the body of Jesus Christ we are the ones that cannot do it without Jesus and it is this grace of God that is at work in our lives and that transforms us and I would like to tell us all give the opportunity to be saved give God the opportunity his for his grace to save you so how do we uh why why should we protect or save ourselves you know nobody can save themselves if they don't make a decision to turn away from this wicked and Lawless Society Apostle Paul preached to the people that were just converted Vietnam he said you were saved but it is so that you would be able to uh disconnect with the worldly ways foreign English translations it says to save yourself from this corrupt generation yes doesn't mean this is corrupt if financer it's corrupt in its finances foreign I would like to give God's grace to have the opportunity to work in our lives you know I believe that one of the problems in uh recent times for Christians it's like Christians are not careful with what's Danger address which is this corrupt generation thank you Christianity a lot of Christians they received the world as normal even though and it changes them Jesus Christ in Jesus Christ he never liked the works of the world he rebuked the um the acts of sins and we as Christians we must live being like Christ Jesus Christ in Hebrews we read about Jesus Christ you loved righteousness and lawlessness you hated and that's why God has anointed you more than the ones around you and let us pray foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] foreign foreign [Music] Dynam [Music] foreign [Music]
