Just 8 00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:04,480 took place in the middle, she wanted to late to testify, too many testifying, but she had 9 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:11,520 a most outstanding healing tonight. The condition that's bothered her of the back and shin next 10 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:19,240 week. But wonderful healing. Praise God. Can you say amen? God just touched her and it's 11 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:26,400 definite healing. She was in agony when he even did the bed properly. And God healed 12 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:35,560 her. Amen. Praise God. I have a message tonight. It's a very, in my estimation, a very crucial 13 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:46,680 message. Healing when I failed, healing when everything goes wrong, how this works and 14 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:55,280 what to do and how it all operates in our lives. Let me share with you the story of 15 00:01:55,280 --> 00:02:01,360 a man that aptly illustrates what I want to share with you tonight. He's a man that felt 16 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:09,560 clearly the call of God over his life. His early life was a phenomenal success. When 17 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:16,000 he was born, he experienced amazing protection. In his early days of his life, he witnessed 18 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:25,040 the hand of God upon his life and even his birth. And that was miraculous. The scenes 19 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:30,560 in those days were like the days of Hitler. People were being butchered by the thousands, 20 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:36,680 especially if they were born. The midwives were instructed to kill them. However, his 21 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:46,360 parents prayed for him and God worked so miraculously that he came to the line of leadership of 22 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:52,960 that very nation. He reached the highest position of any man in that land. Indeed, when the 23 00:02:52,960 --> 00:03:00,120 bachelors would come, he would be there with others. Who am I talking about? Others to 24 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:07,800 greet him, to greet them. And then he began to feel the sense of the call of God in his 25 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:15,440 life. And he was called to a, because he was an Israelite, a Jew, to a nation that was 26 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:20,760 so oppressed by the Egyptians, yet he was an Egyptian, yet he was right at the top of 27 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:28,600 that other nation. When he tried to fulfill the call, everything went wrong. The people 28 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:33,800 that should have been with him turned against him. He tried to help a man and he killed 29 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:40,640 a man and because of that his very own people started talking about it. And soon after it 30 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:45,840 became headlines and he had to get out of that nation and get to find his way and he 31 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:53,760 got into wilderness. As far as he's concerned, the plan of his life was over. From the highest 32 00:03:53,760 --> 00:04:01,480 position of the land to unlimited possibilities, to the potential of marrying the greatest 33 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:09,040 young ladies of that nation, to a place now of seclusion, where he marries a shepherd's 34 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:18,760 girl and forgets about the call of God in his life. And yet through him, God rewrites 35 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:25,480 the pages of history and God literally through him places a code of ethics known as the Decalogue 36 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:33,000 of the Ten Commandments that influenced the world. His name is Moses. And I want to share 37 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:40,560 with you how God turned and what he did and what he felt and what he went through before 38 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:48,440 the tragedies became the great triumph. There's nothing more devastating than to feel, I am 39 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:57,040 in, I failed. I'm under difficulties. I'm under trials. Most of us in this congregation 40 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:02,960 can go back to incidents in our life where we feel the failures being upon us. Some are 41 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:09,800 extreme horrific. Some are being in confusion about it all. Maybe feeling a failure about 42 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:16,840 being a husband or a wife or a mother or a father. Stumped. Some live with terrible emotions. 43 00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:24,640 Somehow the past, they feel, affects the present. I'm interested in emotional reactions and 44 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:31,600 what to do tonight. For example, another example, she was a minister's wife. She began to manifest 45 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:38,240 unusual behavior patterns. I counseled this person. She began to do almost loose, immoral 46 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:46,080 attitudes. She never committed adultery, but her actions were questionable. When we counseled 47 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:54,720 her, we discovered there were things in her childhood that terribly affected her present 48 00:05:54,720 --> 00:06:03,920 life. It's true. Many people that are prostitutes today can go back to being molested by a father 49 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:13,080 or somebody else. The past, somehow, is connected with the present. Good or bad. We cannot live 50 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:23,440 in moods and not affect others and ourselves. We cannot live in deep emotional traumas without 51 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:31,280 having the horrific side effects of that. We can remain moody and depressed and negative 52 00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:39,080 and not affect things around us and affect ourselves. My question, firstly, is what did 53 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:48,080 Moses go through? What feelings possessed his life? I try to hunt that down and see 54 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:55,840 what happened to him and maybe identify with our life and our situation and our circumstances. 55 00:06:55,840 --> 00:07:04,000 Firstly, Moses lost his sense of direction and purpose. He lost where he was heading. 56 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:11,760 He was in the desert. He lost his very reason, must have, after such an incredible background 57 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:21,120 and just being a shepherd in the wilderness, not for 10 months, 10 weeks, but 40 years. 58 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:27,280 He must have felt, somebody beautifully said this, there's nothing more devastating than 59 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:35,320 to be called upon to do something and to feel that you're not adequate to do it because 60 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:42,240 you failed in the past. There's nothing worse than that. Early life, he was schooled in 61 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:49,360 the court of Pharaoh. He finds God's purpose. He's raised up as a deliverer with great enthusiasm. 62 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:56,480 He marches into his future. He now is fleeing into the desert, disillusioned, confused, 63 00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:03,040 wondering what's going on. He gives up all hope. He marries a Midianite. He's willing 64 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:08,880 just to settle down and remain where he is. Dr. Elton Trueblood said this, man can live 65 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:16,360 well even poverty or cannot live well, even poverty abundance unless he sees some real 66 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:24,880 meaning and purpose in life. Powerful. Dr. William Sadler said this and noted psychiatrists 67 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:31,920 echoed this truth. Happiness is going somewhere wholeheartedly without regret or reservation. 68 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:39,240 Dr. Robert Steinberg, a Jewish psychologist, a convert to Christianity said, one of the 69 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:46,360 major problems I'm facing in my counseling is that most Christians or many Christians, 70 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:51,800 families have no clear defined goals. They get up in the morning, they go to work, go 71 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:56,280 home at the end of the day, go to bed, get up in the morning, go to work, go home, go 72 00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:02,720 bed and long not be for long they are set in boredom and life loses its luster. Am I 73 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:08,960 speaking to somebody today? If I ask you what's the purpose and goal of your life, what is 74 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:17,680 your purpose and goal? Can you define it? How excited are you about life and its future? 75 00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:24,480 Lord Jesus had a desire to run away from it all. If I can get out of all this, he became 76 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:29,960 a fugitive of Pharaoh and of justice. If that happens, people didn't care that he didn't 77 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:34,200 stand with him. His desire, he thought he was going to be the great leader of Israel. 78 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:39,320 He thought God would raise him up in the palaces of Pharaoh to become the leader of this nation 79 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:45,000 and take them out of bondage. God didn't work like this. The psalmist had similar feelings 80 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:52,600 in Psalm 55, 6 to 8. He said, Lord, that I had the wings like a dove, but then I would 81 00:09:52,600 --> 00:10:00,720 fly away, be at rest. I want to get away from all this. Have you ever felt that? Come on, 82 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:08,400 I have. Lord, that I would wander off and remain in the wilderness. I just want to get 83 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:16,280 out of it all. Some of us do this without thoughts. Some thoughts are totally unrealistic, 84 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:23,880 people's lives. They dream the impossible, the bizarre, the illusions of grandeur, whatever, 85 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:29,080 and some are their scape and their thoughts. Some escape with unclean thoughts, sexual 86 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:36,760 thoughts. Have you ever seen a mentally disordered person? They're in some home like this clutching 87 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:43,520 something unrealistically, talking to themselves in their extreme, of course, and because they're 88 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:51,480 trying to hide in that need. Being reminded of the tremendous power that Satan has in 89 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:58,760 the mind. The vehicle that the mind has, that's why my wife said, get that book, because it's 90 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:05,160 designed for you and do it deliberately. What the book says in Philippians 4, 18, it says, 91 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:10,040 what are the things that are true? What are the things that are honest? What are the things 92 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:16,960 that are good, just, and pure, and are lovely? What are the things that are of good report? 93 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:24,000 There will be any virtue in the praise. Think on these things. And Isaiah 26, 3 says, thou 94 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:30,360 shall keep in the perfect peace whose mind is safe. The word mind, my wife pointed out 95 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:36,880 to me one day in her studies, is literally the word imagination. Keep your imagination 96 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:44,880 set on God. Keep your thoughts set on God, and they'll come to pass. We don't realize 97 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:52,800 the subtlety of the enemy to destroy us, to undermine us, to take away from us, and we 98 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:58,520 come into resentment. Some of us run away in our emotions, whenever that our emotions 99 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:05,080 be exposed. And yet for us to be free, we have to let our emotions be exposed to ourselves 100 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:13,160 and to God, to be released from all this. Let God break into your life. Some feel, you 101 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:18,720 know, you felt weeping like somebody said tonight, sobbing and so on. But maybe, very 102 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:25,320 powerful. May not be bad at all. May be good for you. Can you say amen? It may be great 103 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:33,320 things for you. Like the psalmist who failed in Psalm 51, and expressed feelings of brokenness, 104 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:40,000 of humility, of crying out and finally says, restore to me the joy of thy something. Often 105 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:49,840 the psalmist expresses his deepest emotions, totally exposes his feelings unto God. And 106 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:57,360 it's wonderful because he knew how to heal and not just be attacked. Can you say amen? 107 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:04,440 Someone physically, I want another job. Maybe another city is the solution to my problems. 108 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:11,320 Maybe a different wife, God have mercy. One is bad in the homin-sauces. I don't mean 109 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:17,840 that. I don't mean that. And someday when we arrive at this place and unpack our suitcase, 110 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:22,680 the same problem is there. It still hasn't left us. Come on church. Joan of Foody could 111 00:13:22,680 --> 00:13:29,360 run away. Numbness can run away. We do this in our personality. We may live in a home 112 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:36,000 and family, but we're like a recluse, introverted. Our wife hardly knows us. Our husband hardly 113 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:42,840 knows us. Our children wonder who we are. The moods of recluse, the lack of communication, 114 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:48,880 the abruptness of the answers. We've lost it in some ways. We're running away from 115 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:58,240 ourselves. We make foolish decisions. We find ourselves in the backside of the desert. I 116 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:04,360 want to tell you God hadn't forgotten Moses. He hasn't forgotten any one of us. Can you 117 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:14,320 say amen? And God says, Moses, where are you? Moses. And Moses said, here I am. I'm the 118 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:22,640 God of your father. I'm the God of Abraham. Now notice it says Moses was afraid to look 119 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:37,560 at God. I wonder why. He must have felt God, oh, he felt like that. Oh, God, Lord, this 120 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:43,240 is too much for me. I failed you. I'm not what I should be. I don't feel I've made 121 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:52,880 any worth of my life. Hello? I haven't achieved the success. I have no self-worth, no value, 122 00:14:52,880 --> 00:15:03,080 no self-esteem, no purpose, no direction. Moses thought he failed. He missed God. He 123 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:09,000 ran away, changed his lifestyle. He became a shepherd and a prince in a palace. But God 124 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:18,560 never forgot Moses. I want to tell you God has never forgotten you. No matter what fears 125 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:25,960 or frustrations or disappointments and hopelessness and despair you may have, God has never forgotten 126 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:33,280 you. Come on, church. He's got a plan for your life. Amen. Now when this happened, this 127 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:40,640 is a very powerful point to be. Moses was confused concerning God. When you're in this 128 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:45,920 state you don't understand God. I know what I'm talking about. Because he said to God, 129 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:54,400 who are you? He said, what's your name? I thought you were the deliverer. I don't really 130 00:15:54,400 --> 00:16:00,880 know who you are because the name of God would reveal the character of God to him. So in 131 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:08,320 the end he did talk to God and said, what's your name? You see, I really felt that I knew 132 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:16,800 your purpose. I don't know you. How many felt that? Let's be honest. What's God like to 133 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:23,920 us? And there's many things God had to straighten out in the life of Moses. The damages of his 134 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:32,720 emotions were affecting him. Notice God can still use us after we have failed. Can somebody 135 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:42,120 say amen? He was confused about his calling. Lord, I tried and I failed. He was saying 136 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:47,840 to God when God said, girl, how will this work this time? I blew it the last time. People 137 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:55,640 turned against me. I was alone. And he lost his worth and his value. Self-worth is crucial. 138 00:16:55,640 --> 00:17:07,760 Can you say amen? He lost his sense of value. And I wonder why now he couldn't speak. I 139 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:14,920 cannot speak. You know, in the courts of Pharaoh there was a mighty man. Did all the stuff 140 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:22,880 get hold of him until he said, send Aaron. Send anybody. Leave me alone. He lost his 141 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:31,360 sense of value. But God had never given up. Amen. God never gives up on us. He wants to 142 00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:38,200 mold us into greatness. He wants to bring us to the next level if we let him. And God 143 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:43,280 wants to use us. Power. That brother had in the service this morning, somebody was touched 144 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:48,920 awesomely in that worship by the power of God. God wants to use us. Powerfully. All 145 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:57,560 of us. Can you say amen? But somehow he lost it. And I personally feel it's very impediment 146 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:04,120 of the speech came out of the environment, out of all that hopelessness. Hello, church. 147 00:18:04,120 --> 00:18:10,840 Where he didn't know what was going on. It's easy for us to think of God in human terms. 148 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:15,480 We've been betrayed. We've been hurt. Give me 1 Corinthians 13, William the Bible, then 149 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:20,280 give it to me here. We feel we've been betrayed. Unless you want to read it yourself, you're 150 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:26,440 welcome. But there's no microphone near you there. You see, we think God is like us. But 151 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:34,720 what is God? God is what? God is love. Amplify the Bible, please, darling. Thank you. And 152 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:43,320 what is love like? This is what God says love is like. Thank you, darling. 153 00:18:43,320 --> 00:19:05,720 Oh, here we are. Sorry. It says this. Love endures long and is patient and kind. Love 154 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:11,160 is never envious nor bores out with jealousy. It's not vainglorious, it does not display 155 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:17,560 itself haughtily. It's not conceited or arrogant and so on. It doesn't rule you or unman it 156 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:24,320 and unbecoming. Love, God's love doesn't assist in its own right. It's not fretful or resentful. 157 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:30,760 It takes no account of evil come to it. It doesn't rejoice in injustice or unrighteousness. 158 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:37,360 Love bears up under anything and everything that comes its way. It believes the best of 159 00:19:37,360 --> 00:19:47,020 every person. What is God? God is what? Love. It hopes our faithless under old circumstances. 160 00:19:47,020 --> 00:19:55,440 What is God? God is love. Love never fails. What is God? God is love. And all these other 161 00:19:55,440 --> 00:20:04,040 things about love. And that's the God. God is love. That's how he thinks. We can't think 162 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:14,280 of God in human terms. We're going to think of him in his terms. Our worth to God is incalculable. 163 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,320 That's going to be one of the... If you've ever cried tears in heaven, that's what you 164 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:22,960 cry about. That you never realized how much God wants to use you and carefully loves you 165 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:29,360 and wanted to take you further. You see, we don't think God is with us when we're in the 166 00:20:29,360 --> 00:20:38,880 desert. In the palace, yes. When we have great success, yes. But in the desert, in loneliness 167 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:49,560 and confusion, God was with him. In this terrible place, so to speak. Remember, it was not for 168 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:59,720 10 weeks, but 40 years. God was still with him. God was still working. God's hand was 169 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:06,440 still on his life. That's a bit too tough for me, in honesty. One year is enough. Two 170 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:14,040 years is enough. But you see, God is with us. God rarely gives up on his purpose for 171 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:22,440 our lives, even after years. He doesn't want our cleverness, our ability. He wants our 172 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:35,720 unitness, our availability. God will always use you if you listen to him. Our circumstances 173 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:42,040 may be though... You see, in the wilderness, we say, God, where are you? Can I just suggest 174 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:49,800 one thing in Exodus 25 to 26? Never hate God. Never, no matter what you go through, never 175 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:56,840 get angry and hate God. Because once you do that, you close the book. You totally close 176 00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:04,680 the book. Never hate God. God blesses those, it says, to a thousand generation of them 177 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:15,080 that love him. Never, never hate God. Love him. You may understand the circumstances, 178 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:24,080 but God is love. And God has incredible plans. Now, you may be in the desert. I may be in 179 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:30,640 the desert. What I believe God for. But I'm not giving up. God loves me. Come on, church. 180 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:38,040 God's got a plan for our lives. Can you say amen? God's got a purpose. We must see it. 181 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:44,280 Moses must have felt the lack of acceptance. He had got to go and do it. And he said, listen, 182 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:52,320 God, what did he mean in the first place? His own people denied him. They sold him out. 183 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:57,840 And when he got back there, they literally did it almost again. He went to Pharaoh and 184 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:03,080 Pharaoh imposed more work upon them. And the elders got mad at him. What are you doing? 185 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:07,640 You get out of this place. You're hindering us. We like our bondage. We don't want any 186 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:13,800 more. He didn't find it easy. Come on, church. I wonder how many feel that appreciated at 187 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:25,320 times. You feel nobody really cares. People can be so cruel. They're blamed when they 188 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:31,360 got in the desert. Remember who they blamed? They blamed Moses. You got to see Moses. They 189 00:23:31,360 --> 00:23:38,960 were very unusual people, the Israelites, the Jews. Like fasting at church. No, no, 190 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:46,400 no. Not quite. But you know, this morning I went to Ruth Divid and her husband. We talked 191 00:23:46,400 --> 00:24:01,760 about things and people, you know, we're all funny. Except me. I'm only joking. And 192 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:08,120 God says, what's your name? He says, say the I am sent you. I continue to be what I 193 00:24:08,120 --> 00:24:13,960 God has never changed. Amen, church. What he wants to remember. We talked the other 194 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:20,400 day. Nobody had seen God until Jesus came. What was Jesus like? He loved the unloved 195 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:26,000 me. He cared for people that no one cared for. I'm trying to enter the emotions of 196 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:34,120 Moses. I'm trying to enter into your emotions tonight. See where you're at. See whether 197 00:24:34,120 --> 00:24:40,120 we can stop you escaping within yourself. Some escape and say, I just escape and do 198 00:24:40,120 --> 00:24:48,160 nothing. He's going to sit here and stay and have wonderful ministry. That'll do. No, 199 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:54,160 no, no, no, no. God's got more for you. Can you say amen? And God says, what's in your 200 00:24:54,160 --> 00:25:02,560 hand? He said, there's old shepherd's rod. And God transformed Israel, or rather Egypt, 201 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:09,120 and even use the rod to part the waters of the Red Sea. Let me ask you, what's in your 202 00:25:09,120 --> 00:25:15,520 hand? What's in your heart? Say it's nothing. God can use the nothing if you can give it 203 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:25,360 to him. Can you say amen? Thank you for enthusiasm. God can use you just as you are. In the midst 204 00:25:25,360 --> 00:25:34,520 of this watch Satan's attack, he's very cunning. He's very cunning, very cunning. If you listen 205 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:39,400 to God, you'll hear him say, I can use you in your failure. I can use you even when you 206 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:46,680 sense that guilt over your life. I can do anything. Come on, Church. God uses people. 207 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:53,840 It's strange how Christians are. We accept the Catholic community messed up. But if somebody 208 00:25:53,840 --> 00:26:03,080 messes up amongst us, finish. We accept others who've made a mess and God's hand is on them 209 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:09,560 and does great things. And what happens then, then when our religiosity comes out. God can 210 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:20,200 use anybody. Come on, Church. Whoever you are, he knows your name. Hello? He knows where 211 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:28,240 you live. He knows your heart. Like Frank said, oh, I mean brother can just close the 212 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:34,520 book and be at home and watch Kelly, old LA likes working with things, but he's hungry 213 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:43,560 for God. Never lose your hunger. Amen, Church. You see, it's Jesus. It's all to do with Jesus. 214 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:49,480 No matter who we are, it's our hunger, our desire, but even our ministry. Really, my 215 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:58,640 ministry is not important to God. It's my hunger for God. It's my longing to please Him. Watch 216 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:06,160 the accusations of Satan. He's smart at this. When you're down, he gives all kinds of thoughts 217 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:10,760 to you. He tells you you're noble. You never make it. You never achieve what you want to 218 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:16,440 achieve in life. You somewhere maybe have failure. You never be all that God has planned 219 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:23,920 for your life. You've never had those thoughts, have you? Remember, God is for His kids. Can 220 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:29,680 you say amen? Suddenly you lose a job and suddenly something goes wrong and suddenly 221 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:34,040 everything seems to fold around you and suddenly you're going well and this goes wrong in your 222 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:40,680 house and this goes wrong in your house and the washing machine plays up and the refrigerator 223 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:47,560 plays up and something else goes wrong and the money's running out and where is God? 224 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:53,600 He's there. He's in the wilderness. Hello, Church. I'm absolutely convinced that God 225 00:27:53,600 --> 00:28:00,480 can use our tragedies and make them triumph. In contrast, Satan will only try to destroy, 226 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:07,440 to kill, to distort, to bring guilt, to bring ashamedfulness, to bring a sense of worthlessness 227 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:14,760 into your life that you'll never rise. You must have the spirit of mightiness in you. 228 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:20,680 Forgive me, but some of the worst people in these areas are people that have never failed. 229 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:26,760 They become really too strong, too religiously strong to others. They can never be used. 230 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:34,120 That person can. He's failed. I believe God can use anybody. I'm absolutely convinced 231 00:28:34,120 --> 00:28:43,080 God can use anybody and God can pick us up, but we must have in us the spirit of mightiness 232 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:50,520 and that's what Satan tries to destroy. You know what did God say to Joshua? Only as he 233 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:54,960 said in the leadership, only be thou very courageous. We Joshua want to give. Fear not 234 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:59,800 be courageous. Fear not be courageous. Let mightiness come upon your spirit. I can do 235 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:10,400 it. I can do something for God. God can use me. He was 80 by the time God picked him up. 236 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:22,240 You see I've still got a few here. You would always grasp and understand what God is doing. 237 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:29,360 Sometimes you feel your life is out of control. Say, how can I trust him? Tossed with fear 238 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:35,000 and tormented by doubt. But like Hebrews 6 says, he's made the promises that you might 239 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:41,000 turn to him as the anchor of your soul as the refuge and they were facing persecution 240 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:48,640 and difficulties and God says, I have sworn by myself that I will do this, that you may 241 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:56,920 turn to me as the anchor of your soul. You know, I thought that as I was preparing, in 242 00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:11,400 Acts 27, God's mighty man, Paul, is on a mission for God. Everything, I mean he rocked the 243 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:19,200 Gentile world for Jesus. No one greater in the kingdom at the time than Paul. He goes 244 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:29,720 back to Jerusalem. He's persecuted. Then finally he ends up on this ship and 14 days in storms. 245 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:42,000 Where is this God when this tsunami comes? I mean he's the man and for 14 days that ship 246 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:49,840 is tossed like a matchbox in the sea. The old despair of life. These much powerful sailors. 247 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:57,320 You ask me, where are you God? You could have just stood that storm for Paul. Why didn't 248 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:07,280 he get to the bow of the ship and say, peace? 14 days in the deep of storms tossed to and 249 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:15,960 fro. The man that has moved the world for God. No one like him. Why didn't God involve 250 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:23,200 himself in that situation? I don't understand it all. But God did come to him. He says, 251 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:27,440 I'm going to spare you but you have to swim to the shore. This boat's going to collapse 252 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:40,160 under you. Hello? It's not always happy, happy, happy, happy. Your Christianity is not always 253 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:49,880 that charismatic stuff. You've got to learn to go through things. Stand strong. Read our 254 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:55,800 life story. One brother's been reading it a few times. He bought another book this morning. 255 00:31:55,800 --> 00:32:04,040 Read it. Not always easy. I mean, we were heading sailing at Mount. If Mount Corvada 256 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:09,920 stayed with us the way it was at that stage, we were at about 10 to 15,000 people in that 257 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:18,120 church at least. But you know, you've no idea what evil was there. You've got no clue. I 258 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:26,160 literally saw them. They'd come to my home. They'd come outside these demons and say, 259 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:32,360 be there. I saw them at the door one of my dreams. I saw them. One day in Rodney's office, 260 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:38,000 literally they took pictures and outside there were demons there after they took the picture. 261 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:45,160 The witches around that place, surrounding it. Some of my team said, rubbish. Wouldn't 262 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:53,200 stand strong. It's okay. I had enough. I went to America. Wenzel cleaned up, cleaned it 263 00:32:53,200 --> 00:33:00,640 all up and said goodbye. Whatever. But what I'm saying is it's not always easy. Hello 264 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:07,120 church. Are you with me? Not always easy. And there's still people thinking, oh, what 265 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:14,920 did he do? And when you did great things, because I was a visionary, I bought them property 266 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:22,760 of 200 acres just up the road. It would be worth now maybe about 30, 40, 50 million dollars. 267 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:30,560 They sold it for, they made money on it. They attacked me, but they made $100,000. They 268 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:37,880 would have had now 30, 40, 50 million dollars. It's okay. But I'm saying to you is the enemy 269 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:42,760 is not just working out in the world there. He tries to hinder God's purpose in some way. 270 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:50,160 He tries to undermine the vision, the dream, the purpose. I was tired. I mean all kinds 271 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:55,000 of ridiculous attacks. I used to go Monday playing golf and they attacked me by going 272 00:33:55,000 --> 00:34:02,480 on Monday playing golf. It was my day off for heaven's sake. They say it doesn't happen. 273 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:08,720 It happens. It happens. When I went, because I went to Brazil with Bernard Johnson, they 274 00:34:08,720 --> 00:34:12,960 attacked me because I stayed in the Sheraton. The Sheraton, I got 50 percent off. It was 275 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:18,680 cheaper than any other hotel. And Bernard Johnson was there. And I couldn't say, I can't 276 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:24,880 be there because people, I need to sleep in some hovel. And I was preaching to three or 277 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:32,640 four thousand ministers every day. Ridiculous stuff. You've got no idea. I'm not saying 278 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:39,920 poor me. But I'm simply saying to you is this stuff goes on in our lives. The desert comes. 279 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:46,260 What will you do in the desert? You see, I came out of that and become the friends of 280 00:34:46,260 --> 00:34:52,440 people all over the world. When I see these people in Cali, I know them all. They're my 281 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:58,580 bodies in America. You know that black fellow that was preaching there, that great evangelist 282 00:34:58,580 --> 00:35:04,920 has been on? I preach with him in Panama. I'm not priding myself, but I'm simply saying, 283 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:11,640 let God be God. Can you say amen? You will go through desert. You'll go through storms. 284 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:22,880 Here I am starting a church. My Lord, I must be out of my brain. It must be God or whatever. 285 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:31,960 What I'm saying is don't give up. Don't give up. Believe. I still believe God is great things 286 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:38,240 for Australia. I still believe there's another wave coming here. I'm almost tired of hearing 287 00:35:38,240 --> 00:35:44,240 it going out everywhere else but right in Australia. I want to see the supernatural, 288 00:35:44,240 --> 00:35:48,400 the works of God like the miracle that our sister had tonight just happening in the middle 289 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:52,800 of the service. That's what I want to happen. Not that I'm going to put my hand on anybody. 290 00:35:52,800 --> 00:36:00,320 Just God comes. God heals. God delivers. Come on church. Australia needs it. This nation 291 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:05,960 is godless. It needs something from heaven. But sometimes for 14 days you're in the midst 292 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:13,320 of a storm and God just comes and says, be of good courage. You lose the ship but be 293 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:28,080 of good courage. Amen church. The moment of failure does not make us a failure. Did you 294 00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:36,360 hear that? The moment of failure does not make us a failure. God has put premium on 295 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:42,240 failure but don't focus upon it. Mr. Thornby, the greatest Thorn remarked, when nations 296 00:36:42,240 --> 00:36:50,280 are challenged by catastrophe, how the nation responds to the challenges most important. 297 00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:59,200 He said that challenges must be balanced with purpose. Never lose your purpose. When Peter 298 00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:07,760 failed, notice how God responded to Peter. He said, I prayed for you that your faith 299 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:15,960 may or not. When you have been converted, strength in your brain. Never give up on it. 300 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:23,640 God never gives up on us. Come on church. What should I do? My response to failure is 301 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:31,800 as important as the failure itself. Your response to the failure is as important as the failure 302 00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:38,040 itself. The first thing you must do is listen to these practical things. Find the will of 303 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:45,760 God for today and do it. Don't worry about tomorrow. Don't worry about the next ten years. 304 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:55,560 Do the will of God today. Can you say amen? Let God start healing you. Healing the wounds 305 00:37:55,560 --> 00:38:00,680 of your life. When I had my heart operation, I wasn't able the next day to run around and 306 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:06,400 jump around. As anybody has had an operation, it took several weeks. I was quite crazy. 307 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:11,760 By the seventh week, I was flying around the world and preaching in big conventions already. 308 00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:18,680 What I'm saying is healing takes time. Find the will of God in little things and big things. 309 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:26,800 Find to do it. Match your daily needs with a mission. Come alive to something for God. 310 00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:32,440 Sit back and run away and escape to television in your mind or in your emotions. Start doing 311 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:41,600 something for God or do anything for Jesus. Amen church. Very powerful key to me. Discover 312 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:50,480 God's how and when. Timing is crucial. You see, Moses lost his timing. He told God we'll 313 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:57,800 do it one way. God had a complete different purpose to that. Complete different purpose. 314 00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:03,360 It wasn't the right moment for Israel. If Moses had done it, they would have said Moses 315 00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:09,440 did it. He would have never built a theocratic nation. Never built the center of God into 316 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:16,640 those nations' people's lives. You see, God's purpose is bigger than you. God's purpose 317 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:22,600 is to create in you a faith and a determination and a heart. Come on church and a peace and 318 00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:30,280 a joy and a desire to serve God. And He will work in circumstances. He will do things in 319 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:36,640 situations. But sometimes you go through something because God's working in your life to the 320 00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:42,360 glory and praise of His work. All people got. Dr. Churn, on occasion, told us he was building 321 00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:48,240 this massive church and the burden of the finances were killing. He went up to the top 322 00:39:48,240 --> 00:39:54,080 to commit suicide. When he was up there, he said, I forgot to do this one thing. He went 323 00:39:54,080 --> 00:40:02,240 downstairs and did this one thing and forgot about the suicide. All people go through things. 324 00:40:02,240 --> 00:40:07,720 Like the sister this morning, Sister Ruth, said to me, I suppose we don't realize that 325 00:40:07,720 --> 00:40:12,640 ministers are human beings like everybody else. We all go through things. Can you say 326 00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:19,800 amen? Match your daily needs with a mission and discover how it may not be God's... There's 327 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:23,800 a moment that God will do things. Come on church. There's a moment that God will provide. 328 00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:28,960 There's a moment that miracles will happen. He cannot fail you if you've tried regularly 329 00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:33,400 and done and you go to God and say, God, I've done this. It's time you did a greater work 330 00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:42,760 in my life. Can you say amen? He cannot fail you. He cannot fail you. Change your emphasis 331 00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:51,120 from self to God. It's not what do you. Don't get into self-orientation. It leads to all 332 00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:57,760 kinds of emotional hang-ups. Remember Romans 7, Paul is full of self. Things I want to 333 00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:03,800 do, I cannot do. Things I hope to do, I'm not able to do. Wretched man, aye, aye, aye, 334 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:12,920 aye, aye. Finally, he says, I thank my God through Jesus Christ. Don't get self-orientated. 335 00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:22,520 Number four, never write the ending of your life permanently or too quickly. Do you know 336 00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:32,520 what I mean by that? Write the end of your life permanently or write it too quickly. 337 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:41,960 In other words, that's finished. Go on. Don't write it. And don't write it too fast. Like 338 00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:47,100 Spurgeon said, men will make a decision on the mountaintop or in the valley. In the mountaintop 339 00:41:47,100 --> 00:41:55,680 you make too many promises. In the valley you do it too fast. I like that thought, though. 340 00:41:55,680 --> 00:42:04,040 Don't write your future permanently. You don't know yet what God can do with your life. And 341 00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:12,560 don't write it too quickly. Because God can. He's in the message I knew every morning. 342 00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:22,840 What is his faithfulness? And finally, expose your feelings to God. Bring the stuff. Come 343 00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:31,800 how you come, not in anger, but in brokenness. A contrite spirit of God you won't despise. 344 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:40,280 Psalm 5117, in humility. Your feelings must not be brought to God in the environment of 345 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:48,040 rebellion. The psalmist was brilliant at that. He'd always tell God, but then he would finally 346 00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:55,400 say, God, you did this, you did this, you did this. You're always a great God. Always 347 00:42:55,400 --> 00:43:03,000 finished with that. Be honest to him. God knows how you feel. Can't God? I'm tired of 348 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:15,880 this. But you are God. I'm sick of it, Lord, but you are God. Tell him. He says, not faith. 349 00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:26,720 It's okay. Tell him. The psalmist did. Everything is against me. But you are God. Get your emotions. 350 00:43:26,720 --> 00:43:39,120 Go to him. Don't whinge. Tell God and leave it there. I remember once a wonderful example 351 00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:46,640 of this in one of the great art galleries of Germany. There's a picture where Faust 352 00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:53,560 was playing chess with the devil. And the picture's there and the devil has got this 353 00:43:53,560 --> 00:44:02,200 grin on him as if he's beaten Faust at the game of chess. And then one day a great chess 354 00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:10,960 player walked in and stood at the painting for a long time, studied the moves. He says, 355 00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:20,720 it's not true, he said. The king has another move. Hallelujah. I want to tell you, when 356 00:44:20,720 --> 00:44:30,880 the devil may grin and spit at you and torment you in your mind, the king always has another 357 00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:42,680 move. Hallelujah. Not the end. Never the end. God wants to put mightiness in you and you 358 00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:49,360 bring you back to that sense. You'll go through things. I'm too solid to tell you that. Not 359 00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:55,280 a bowl of cherries. You don't rise on the wings of an angel. Never did anything go wrong 360 00:44:55,280 --> 00:45:03,680 with you anymore. Your work is a challenge. A doctor? Challenge? Your other things are 361 00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:11,560 a challenge. Your wife may be a challenge. No, nobody here. Your husband may be a challenge. 362 00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:25,480 I am. Oh, whatever. Life's not easy. Or as they say, Ben E. Hymn has it easy, has he? 363 00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:31,920 You know that when he got attacked so much, he was a minister of a great fellowship that 364 00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:38,640 I know very well. I know the friend that told me he was very close to him. So they said 365 00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:45,200 to him, we don't want you in this movement any longer. You're too much of a risk. He 366 00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:51,760 went into it with a shower and wept like a baby. Would you like to wake up like he does 367 00:45:51,760 --> 00:46:01,760 with all the news against you? I've had it. Even Parliament that occasion, they said, 368 00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:09,000 we're going to destroy this man. I met newscasts, I met news people that said to me, actually 369 00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,920 in this church across the other side of the city, I was preaching, there were literally 370 00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:17,000 journalists that said, we don't matter what happens, we're going to destroy this man in 371 00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:28,680 the news. Lies? Unbelievable. What do you do? You just rejoice. For example, on one occasion, 372 00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:34,400 nothing to do with anything. I was overseas and I couldn't get back in time and the headlines, 373 00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:41,600 minister will be arrested when he comes back because I couldn't get back in time for a, 374 00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:48,640 I was testifying to a case, nothing to do with me. Lies. So I arrived back a little 375 00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:54,840 bit later. The next time it happened, I was there in the court. So I testified and the 376 00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:58,480 judge apologized about everything. They wouldn't give me any money for my trip. It cost me 377 00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:04,480 about 70,000. I was simply testifying about two people. I can mention the names. They 378 00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:10,760 had a big feud. So I finished my testimony, read it all, signed it all. And I'm on my 379 00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:19,440 way back. Second page in the, I could have sued them, where it's minister lies in my 380 00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:27,680 picture. But when you read it, it's nothing to do with me. It's to do with Senator Goldby, 381 00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:38,960 a minister of the crown. You understand? What do you do? You praise God. Amen. But unless 382 00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:46,880 you read the whole article, ah, preachers, they lie. You say it's not possible. Oh yes. 383 00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:53,000 Do you think it's always going to be easy even in Australia in the future? If really 384 00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:57,880 the revival comes, you think they're going to love me? It's a wonderful Red Climber 385 00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:03,160 Nock. They hate the Christians finally. People out there, I mean, look what they're doing 386 00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:10,040 to Bush at the moment. They're doing to destroy him as a man of God. He loves the Lord. They 387 00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:17,560 will lie. They will deceive. They will cheat. Unbelievable stuff. Somehow he survived that 388 00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:24,240 poor guy and has the strength not to let it defeat and destroy him. See, why do you share 389 00:48:24,240 --> 00:48:28,600 all this? I don't know. I'm just talking, sharing. It's all gone from my life. I hope 390 00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:33,480 it is gone. Maybe it's somewhere in there. But what I'm saying to you is life's not always 391 00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:40,280 easy. There's still people saying, I can tell you recently something happened at the church 392 00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:48,760 there that hurt me. Just leave it. See, we're in the hands of the King and he knows and 393 00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:55,760 what happens with the world. God will repay a thousand times to his people. He knows exactly. 394 00:48:55,760 --> 00:49:00,160 You don't walk before man. You walk before God. Can you say amen? You walk to please 395 00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:08,240 the Lord. Can you say amen? I'm just human like everybody else, but just keep those emotions 396 00:49:08,240 --> 00:49:16,400 in the right place. Can somebody say amen? Can we stand please together? Hallelujah. 397 00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:31,720 Hallelujah. Praise the Lamb. Hallelujah. Praise the Lamb. My heart sings in praise 398 00:49:31,720 --> 00:49:49,640 again. Hallelujah. Praise the Lamb. Hallelujah. Come and praise Him. Hallelujah. Praise the 399 00:49:49,640 --> 00:50:04,440 Lamb. My heart sings in praise again. Hallelujah. Praise the Lamb. 400 00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:09,800 Is there people that need prayer tonight in the light of my message? Say, Pastor, I've 401 00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:18,760 been through it. I feel no destinies in my life anymore. I feel like Moses. If you feel 402 00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:26,560 that, would you come for prayer? Not that drastic, but you want some destiny, okay? 403 00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:31,560 God bless you, David. God's hand is on you already. Others, please come. If you feel 404 00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:39,520 the hand of God is on you. Anybody else feel that they need some prayer? You feel you want 405 00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:53,040 to go out to...come on, expose your feelings to God and to yourself. Hallelujah. Praise 406 00:50:53,040 --> 00:51:06,760 the Lamb. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Others, please come. Praise the 407 00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:20,680 Lamb. My heart sings in praise again. Hallelujah. Praise the Lamb. 408 00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:26,920 Can I ask you, will you be strong as the storms come? We've been blessed in Australia so far. 409 00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:33,240 Only a few have been under heavy attack. The rest of us have escaped most of this stuff. 410 00:51:33,240 --> 00:51:38,720 But I want to tell you, God is not finished with us. God will be with us. And when even 411 00:51:38,720 --> 00:51:43,880 it gets tough, God will be with us. I really believe, God always says a thousand times 412 00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:50,320 more, I really believe. What you've been through, God will do a thousand times more. I have 413 00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:56,640 a lot coming to me yet of blessings. You better believe it and you're going to see it. God's 414 00:51:56,640 --> 00:52:03,640 going to do great things for me. Can you say it, man? In many ways. We're just going to 415 00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:21,840 hallelujah. What do you want, David? What have you come for? 416 00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:27,840 Jesus, take this precious young man. Your hand is upon him, Lord, to do great things 417 00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:36,840 for your glory. Take him, Jesus. Let nothing, as He said, distract him. To the purpose and 418 00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:43,840 plan you have for his life, I pray. Bless him mightily. Bless him mightily. Bless nightly, 419 00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:54,840 I pray. Know who's coming here. You are. What do you want, darling? You want to give your 420 00:52:54,840 --> 00:53:01,840 life to Jesus? Wonderful. He's giving his heart to Jesus. Isn't that wonderful? That's 421 00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:08,680 as important as anyone. Stretch out your hand toward him. Would you pray this prayer with 422 00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:23,680 me? Say Jesus. You say Jesus. I give myself to you now. Come into my heart that I will 423 00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:31,600 know I belong to God. Now listen, what you're doing is you're making this agreement with 424 00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:38,120 God right now because Jesus is down in the cross for you. And you're now saying, Jesus, 425 00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:46,120 I give myself, how old are you? Ten. I was 11 when I did this. Changed my life. Say right 426 00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:59,120 now, Jesus, I confess you as my Savior, as my Lord. Come into my heart, Lord Jesus, that 427 00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:10,120 I live for you all the days of my life. From this day onwards, I belong to Jesus Christ. 428 00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:21,680 Hallelujah. I'm saved. Jesus is in my heart. Amen. Now I want your mom and dad to buy your 429 00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:27,800 Bible. I want you to put this date in there. I want them to help you. What it means is 430 00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:34,360 one about young children, when you know you're saved. That or the old one if you want to. 431 00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:40,680 But it's important what you do with this young man now. Jesus, just bless him, I pray, that 432 00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:46,280 he will know that he's saved. Be with him all the days of his life, I pray in Jesus' 433 00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:53,800 name. And bless this family. Bless this doctor. God, use them. I really believe the potential 434 00:54:53,800 --> 00:55:00,600 of God has not been fulfilled yet. Be used mightily of God, you and your husband. Mightily 435 00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:14,680 as vessels. Vessels of God. Vessels of honor and praise and glory. Hallelujah. 436 00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:19,440 Thank you again for tuning in to today's powerful message from Dr. Reginald Climinop.
