00:00:15.980 --> 00:00:18.960
Pastor Tony with us from India. He's been here

00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:22.420
several times, but he always brings a challenging

00:00:22.420 --> 00:00:26.859
word to us. He always brings a spiritual song

00:00:26.859 --> 00:00:30.140
to us, which I greatly enjoy. And so would you

00:00:30.140 --> 00:00:32.820
just extend a warm welcome to Pastor Tony this

00:00:32.820 --> 00:00:51.420
morning. Thank you very much Church. Certainly

00:00:51.420 --> 00:00:53.719
appreciate the Lord and appreciate each one of

00:00:53.719 --> 00:01:00.740
you and your warmth. Greetings from India. Greetings

00:01:00.740 --> 00:01:04.719
from Lucknow. Farthest you can go from here is

00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:07.599
Lucknow. If you go any farther, you'll be coming

00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:16.640
back. Right now, when it is 12 .06 here, it's

00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:22.870
already tomorrow. in India Monday morning. But

00:01:22.870 --> 00:01:29.349
the good thing is that I feel at home. I'm not

00:01:29.349 --> 00:01:31.510
that far. I'm not on the other side of the globe.

00:01:31.769 --> 00:01:35.549
I am at home. And I just thank you very much.

00:01:35.909 --> 00:01:39.310
Thank you very much for your prayers. Thank you

00:01:39.310 --> 00:01:42.689
very much for coming to India and for making

00:01:42.689 --> 00:01:50.170
a change by your coming. by your ministry. India

00:01:50.170 --> 00:01:55.750
has been blessed by Life Bible Church and by

00:01:55.750 --> 00:01:58.950
your prayers, by your generous giving. Some of

00:01:58.950 --> 00:02:03.810
you have and are giving monthly and some of you

00:02:03.810 --> 00:02:06.409
have given in big projects and we appreciate

00:02:06.409 --> 00:02:11.669
you very much for what you're doing and work

00:02:11.669 --> 00:02:15.469
is big but God is doing it. Millions of people

00:02:15.469 --> 00:02:19.629
are coming to the Lord in India. And if I give

00:02:19.629 --> 00:02:23.629
you the right statistics today, there are more

00:02:23.629 --> 00:02:29.770
Christians in India than in America. 1 .3 billion

00:02:29.770 --> 00:02:34.990
people, almost like 8 % of them, have accepted

00:02:34.990 --> 00:02:40.750
the Lord. Government still says 3 or 4%, but

00:02:40.750 --> 00:02:44.240
there are millions of people all over India One

00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:47.020
eight percent means like more than a hundred

00:02:47.020 --> 00:02:52.719
million and Every day they are coming to the

00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:57.659
Lord in thousands and I've been preaching gospel

00:02:57.659 --> 00:03:02.500
for last 47 years But I've never seen a time

00:03:02.500 --> 00:03:07.580
like this in the history of India as it is now

00:03:07.580 --> 00:03:11.990
when Every area of India, every part of India,

00:03:12.110 --> 00:03:15.789
every state of India, people are hungry and they

00:03:15.789 --> 00:03:19.430
are turning to the Lord and God is doing great

00:03:19.430 --> 00:03:23.169
miracles. Amazing things are happening and I

00:03:23.169 --> 00:03:26.449
appreciate you for your prayers. This morning

00:03:26.449 --> 00:03:30.729
I've got another issue of thankfulness. I have

00:03:30.729 --> 00:03:34.229
a friend of mine sitting here whom I've known

00:03:34.229 --> 00:03:42.879
for... more than 35 years. Ron Montez, I met

00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:47.960
him for the first time in the month of June 1978.

00:03:49.379 --> 00:03:54.620
And we had great fellowship and I'm Indian from

00:03:54.620 --> 00:04:01.500
India and he's real Indian from America. We think

00:04:01.500 --> 00:04:05.439
alike, we walk alike, and look alike. Even our

00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:09.180
complexion is the same. I appreciate this man

00:04:09.180 --> 00:04:15.060
of God and what God has done through his ministry.

00:04:15.740 --> 00:04:20.540
I just thank the Lord. I remember when Mark came

00:04:20.540 --> 00:04:23.399
for the first time, it was with Ron, and Ron

00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:28.259
and Mark, I remember they played a song, they

00:04:28.259 --> 00:04:35.410
sang a song. Rain. Let it rain. And when they

00:04:35.410 --> 00:04:41.050
left India, it rained so much that it has never

00:04:41.050 --> 00:04:43.730
rained in the history of India that much. Rain

00:04:43.730 --> 00:04:47.250
everywhere. And, you know, something happened

00:04:47.250 --> 00:04:52.470
after that. It really started raining spiritually.

00:04:54.970 --> 00:04:59.480
No one knew anything about guitar. praise and

00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:03.839
worship. We only sang hymns. No praise and worship.

00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:06.540
People didn't know how to lift up their hands

00:05:06.540 --> 00:05:11.019
or dance in the Lord. And today we dance more

00:05:11.019 --> 00:05:14.620
than you. I tell you, we dance more than you

00:05:14.620 --> 00:05:17.579
and the thousands of people all over who play

00:05:17.579 --> 00:05:20.709
guitar, small children. You know, they bring

00:05:20.709 --> 00:05:23.629
their small guitars and they're playing. We,

00:05:23.970 --> 00:05:27.970
in the main church in Lucknow, we have five worship

00:05:27.970 --> 00:05:32.529
teams. And the smallest worship team is very

00:05:32.529 --> 00:05:34.990
small children, you know, like under 10 years

00:05:34.990 --> 00:05:41.750
old. And they play keyboard. It's because God

00:05:41.750 --> 00:05:46.110
used these two men in India. And I just appreciate

00:05:46.110 --> 00:05:50.819
the Lord. That's wonderful. I thank the Lord

00:05:50.819 --> 00:05:55.720
for this miracle. My watch stopped. So you know,

00:05:56.100 --> 00:05:59.839
I'm not time -bound. My watch stopped. And that

00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:06.600
clock is very far. I can't see it. Thank you

00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:10.920
very much for praying for PCF. PCF is the ministry

00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:15.060
that God has used in India as the bait ministry

00:06:15.060 --> 00:06:19.379
to catch soul and that is educating poor children

00:06:19.379 --> 00:06:22.860
and we educate poor children. We have been doing

00:06:22.860 --> 00:06:27.939
this for like about 15, 16 years and it has proved

00:06:27.939 --> 00:06:32.620
to be very good ministry and all over India now

00:06:32.620 --> 00:06:36.180
we are teaching these children in the villages

00:06:36.180 --> 00:06:38.560
we started going and building the church building.

00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:42.139
The first when we went to the village we thought

00:06:42.139 --> 00:06:45.259
nobody will be interested in village about the

00:06:45.259 --> 00:06:48.740
Lord it may be very difficult and we found out

00:06:48.740 --> 00:06:50.959
that when we went to the villages, villages were

00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:55.300
open to accept the Lord as personal savior and

00:06:55.300 --> 00:06:57.660
in one day we got enough people saved to plant

00:06:57.660 --> 00:07:00.379
a church in this village and then we started

00:07:00.379 --> 00:07:02.399
building a church building. We completed the

00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:05.560
building. The church had done outreaches all

00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:09.420
around this village and then we started building

00:07:09.420 --> 00:07:12.540
church buildings in different villages and so

00:07:12.540 --> 00:07:15.829
far we have almost built around a hundred church

00:07:15.829 --> 00:07:19.509
buildings in the village areas all over India

00:07:19.509 --> 00:07:24.170
and now I think we have more churches and villages

00:07:24.170 --> 00:07:29.790
than in this city and I think about seven years

00:07:29.790 --> 00:07:33.509
ago or ten years ago we had no church in a village

00:07:33.509 --> 00:07:37.589
not even one and now we have more churches in

00:07:37.589 --> 00:07:44.529
village and this is a church that we did in Lalganj.

00:07:45.310 --> 00:07:49.329
Rai Bareli is a district and Lalganj is a village

00:07:49.329 --> 00:07:53.430
in Rai Bareli district. This guy, Hindu guy got

00:07:53.430 --> 00:07:59.569
saved and he came to the Lord and he started

00:07:59.569 --> 00:08:06.069
a church with 20 people and then he had a land

00:08:06.069 --> 00:08:09.569
that was dedicated, donated and he started building

00:08:09.569 --> 00:08:13.370
a church building. And when he started building

00:08:13.370 --> 00:08:15.829
the church building, we completed the building

00:08:15.829 --> 00:08:19.209
and he invited all of us to come and do the ribbon

00:08:19.209 --> 00:08:23.069
cutting. So the church building is here about

00:08:23.069 --> 00:08:26.329
200 yards before the church building on the main

00:08:26.329 --> 00:08:30.850
road. When we got there, we had to park our car

00:08:30.850 --> 00:08:33.509
there. There was a room and there were about

00:08:33.509 --> 00:08:37.429
200 people waiting. So I said, who are these

00:08:37.429 --> 00:08:40.490
people? He said, well, these are all my members.

00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:46.179
I said, how many? He said, 200. And so he didn't

00:08:46.179 --> 00:08:49.120
want anybody to go in the building, wait outside.

00:08:49.500 --> 00:08:53.059
And we got there, we cut the ribbon, and we found

00:08:53.059 --> 00:08:57.559
out from the time when we started building Chanchal,

00:08:57.600 --> 00:09:00.659
there were 20 people, because of the excitement

00:09:00.659 --> 00:09:02.820
that they're building the building, when we did

00:09:02.820 --> 00:09:05.259
the ribbon cutting, there were already 200 people.

00:09:05.779 --> 00:09:08.440
No more we could take. So he started going in

00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:12.580
another village, and he has already started six

00:09:12.580 --> 00:09:17.360
churches around this church building. An amazing

00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:22.059
thing has happened to this guy. And recently

00:09:22.059 --> 00:09:26.820
we got the opening in the town, Ribarelli town,

00:09:27.379 --> 00:09:31.879
and we have been given this campus and this church

00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:35.000
that was already there, but it was struggling

00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:39.409
and Amazing doors are being opened and we always

00:09:39.409 --> 00:09:42.309
said wow India is such a big country How would

00:09:42.309 --> 00:09:45.769
we go everywhere and how we get all these souls

00:09:45.769 --> 00:09:49.149
saved? We don't even know where all these villages

00:09:49.149 --> 00:09:53.129
exist because these places are not even on the

00:09:53.129 --> 00:09:58.710
map So many village and no roads no power But

00:09:58.710 --> 00:10:03.070
God had it organized and he opened a door for

00:10:03.070 --> 00:10:07.970
me to start preaching on the largest television

00:10:07.970 --> 00:10:12.389
network which is called ZTV. And this goes to

00:10:12.389 --> 00:10:15.509
every village that you can think of. Now two

00:10:15.509 --> 00:10:18.129
things very important in India. People may not

00:10:18.129 --> 00:10:21.370
have anything. They don't even have power but

00:10:21.370 --> 00:10:26.509
they have TV. And they operate TV by battery.

00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:30.220
Battery operators, and they will have small TV

00:10:30.220 --> 00:10:35.340
and 30 people will come from a neighborhood and

00:10:35.340 --> 00:10:38.620
watch TV like glued to TV. TV and cell phone.

00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:44.120
Everyone has cell phone everywhere. So TV and

00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:46.759
cell phone, both of them are happening. They

00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:49.879
watch the program and there is a number on TV.

00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:55.560
And this is 24 hours, seven days a week. prayer

00:10:55.560 --> 00:10:58.799
center in Campo. So when they watch the program,

00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:00.899
they say, oh, we've never heard anything like

00:11:00.899 --> 00:11:03.340
that. There's a telephone number. They call us

00:11:03.340 --> 00:11:07.019
and they tell us where we are. Sometimes hard

00:11:07.019 --> 00:11:09.759
to locate their village because they live in

00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:11.960
a remote village. But we know where they are

00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:14.759
and they're calling us. They ask us, we go there

00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:17.279
and we get people saved and church established.

00:11:18.299 --> 00:11:20.779
And amazing thing is this any village you go,

00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:24.870
first day. When you take a meeting, they say,

00:11:24.889 --> 00:11:27.610
well, you came here and you took a meeting, but

00:11:27.610 --> 00:11:31.269
what about a weekly church? And lots of churches

00:11:31.269 --> 00:11:34.529
are started under the tree. And immediately on

00:11:34.529 --> 00:11:36.570
the first day, somebody will say, hey, I want

00:11:36.570 --> 00:11:38.769
to donate my land. You build the church building.

00:11:39.110 --> 00:11:41.820
And there's no money for... building but they

00:11:41.820 --> 00:11:44.440
donate the land. And we get the land donated

00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:47.820
and then we start raising finances and build

00:11:47.820 --> 00:11:50.419
the building. Every village building that we

00:11:50.419 --> 00:11:54.379
build is 10 ,000 US dollars. Just 10 ,000 dollars

00:11:54.379 --> 00:11:57.580
for 200 people to sit. And when we do this building,

00:11:57.940 --> 00:12:01.539
we do a pastor's office and do a small bathroom

00:12:01.539 --> 00:12:06.460
and we use this building five days a week for

00:12:06.750 --> 00:12:09.990
poor children to come and be educated there,

00:12:10.730 --> 00:12:14.330
free school. We hang a board, free school. Government

00:12:14.330 --> 00:12:16.350
came to us, they said, well, you are building

00:12:16.350 --> 00:12:18.970
all these church buildings, we have given you

00:12:18.970 --> 00:12:23.409
FCRA number, which is Foreign Contribution Regulation

00:12:23.409 --> 00:12:26.370
Act, not to build churches, it's all for social

00:12:26.370 --> 00:12:29.350
work. We said, yeah, that's what we're doing.

00:12:29.830 --> 00:12:32.950
It's not a church, it's a school. And because

00:12:32.950 --> 00:12:35.850
we are Christian, we meet there on Sunday. They

00:12:35.850 --> 00:12:43.049
said, OK, you can do that. And because we wanted

00:12:43.049 --> 00:12:45.649
to find out what can we do for these village

00:12:45.649 --> 00:12:48.509
people. We love them. They are our family now.

00:12:48.570 --> 00:12:51.090
They accepted the Lord. So we found out that

00:12:51.090 --> 00:12:53.309
we can't give free food to everyone. We can't

00:12:53.309 --> 00:12:55.629
give blankets to everyone. But we can give them

00:12:55.629 --> 00:12:58.590
something that is very needful for them, and

00:12:58.590 --> 00:13:01.710
that is clean water. They drink dirty water,

00:13:02.090 --> 00:13:05.639
and 60 % of them have a stomach disease. So we

00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:07.799
started doing this. We will build a church building,

00:13:08.179 --> 00:13:11.159
use it for the school at the corner of the church.

00:13:11.259 --> 00:13:13.919
Outside the church we'll drill a well. We'll

00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:17.960
go 200 feet to get clean water. And we have a

00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:20.080
hand pump because there is no power, so we have

00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:22.960
a hand pump. And we allow the whole village to

00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:25.120
come and take the water, whether they go to our

00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:27.879
church or not. And education also, we'll give

00:13:27.879 --> 00:13:30.620
education to anybody, whether they go to our

00:13:30.620 --> 00:13:33.779
church or not. But it works like a bait. The

00:13:33.779 --> 00:13:40.120
fish comes for bait and we catch it. More souls

00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:42.820
are being added to the kingdom of God right now.

00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:48.600
We started from 33 people on the 21st of October

00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:54.299
1973 and we have almost like 70 ,000 people in

00:13:54.299 --> 00:13:58.330
churches now. Everywhere. We started in Lucknow,

00:13:58.590 --> 00:14:02.789
now we have our churches in 15 states of India.

00:14:03.129 --> 00:14:07.190
Even in southern state Karnataka, in Bangalore,

00:14:07.590 --> 00:14:11.649
we have started a church. And now we are planning

00:14:11.649 --> 00:14:18.009
to go into each state one by one. When we send

00:14:18.009 --> 00:14:22.289
the first pastor to any new state, we send a

00:14:22.289 --> 00:14:24.990
pastor who has a goal to plant 100 churches.

00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:29.519
We prepare him and equip him. When we pray, we

00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:32.679
don't pray for one church. When we do the Presbyterian,

00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:35.080
pray for him and we send him, we send him like

00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:37.940
this, 100 churches. We're sending him to plant

00:14:37.940 --> 00:14:41.559
100 churches in that state. And it's happening.

00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:47.740
up to Punjab and we're going towards Jammu and

00:14:47.740 --> 00:14:51.659
Kashmir, the top state. And we've gone to Nepal.

00:14:51.860 --> 00:14:54.940
We planted five churches in Nepal. We built a

00:14:54.940 --> 00:14:57.879
couple of buildings in Nepal also. And we have

00:14:57.879 --> 00:15:01.200
a head for Nepal. We didn't have any work in

00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:04.820
Nepal. We had a work on the border of India and

00:15:04.820 --> 00:15:08.559
Nepal. And because in Nepal you can't baptize,

00:15:08.700 --> 00:15:11.679
so we built a church just at the border. and

00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:13.980
entered into Nepal and started planting churches.

00:15:14.279 --> 00:15:16.559
When people get saved in Nepal, we bring them

00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:19.340
out of the border and baptize them here and send

00:15:19.340 --> 00:15:22.600
them to Nepal. It's legal to baptize in India,

00:15:22.980 --> 00:15:26.080
but not legal to baptize in Nepal. And so they

00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:28.399
don't get to go to jail because they're taking

00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:33.429
baptism in India. an amazing thing God is doing.

00:15:34.309 --> 00:15:36.889
And we are building church buildings every day.

00:15:37.350 --> 00:15:40.950
Before I left India, we were doing seven buildings

00:15:40.950 --> 00:15:44.509
on the 24th, 25th I left, 24th I did the one

00:15:44.509 --> 00:15:46.149
of the building, inaugurated one of the building,

00:15:46.309 --> 00:15:49.149
six building will be inaugurated in next couple

00:15:49.149 --> 00:15:52.330
weeks time. And then we will take another seven

00:15:52.330 --> 00:15:54.929
buildings. Anybody comes and tells me, hey, I

00:15:54.929 --> 00:15:57.710
want to build a church building. I said, how

00:15:57.710 --> 00:16:01.049
do I do it? I just write a check, $10 ,000. And

00:16:01.049 --> 00:16:02.950
if you don't know the spelling of 10, I'll tell

00:16:02.950 --> 00:16:11.070
you. I just recently, last week I was in Alaska

00:16:11.070 --> 00:16:14.330
and a guy came and met me and he said, hello,

00:16:14.710 --> 00:16:18.029
what can I do? I just wanted to talk to you about

00:16:18.029 --> 00:16:21.090
building a church in India. I said, what do I

00:16:21.090 --> 00:16:25.429
do? I said, you write a check. Then he called

00:16:25.429 --> 00:16:28.129
me. I was in Mark's house. I got this call and

00:16:28.129 --> 00:16:31.529
he said, well, um, I've already talked to live

00:16:31.529 --> 00:16:34.950
Bible church and I'm sending in a cashier check

00:16:34.950 --> 00:16:40.830
and uh, but tomorrow, probably Monday we'll have

00:16:40.830 --> 00:16:45.669
a church building is coming. But you know, it's

00:16:45.669 --> 00:16:49.389
amazing. We were excited to see that all these

00:16:49.389 --> 00:16:52.889
buildings are being built everywhere and uh,

00:16:52.889 --> 00:16:56.220
church are planted. One church is planted every

00:16:56.220 --> 00:16:59.899
week. But our goal is more than that. Our goal

00:16:59.899 --> 00:17:03.799
is to plant one church every day. Until we go

00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:07.980
to 10 ,000. How many churches we had, Mark, when

00:17:07.980 --> 00:17:09.960
you came for the first time? Eight churches.

00:17:10.220 --> 00:17:13.059
We had eight churches when Mark came first time.

00:17:14.420 --> 00:17:18.140
And now we have close to 600 churches. Some of

00:17:18.140 --> 00:17:20.240
the churches I don't even know, when we gathered

00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:22.900
together in October, they come to me and say,

00:17:23.829 --> 00:17:27.109
Because we have a big apple tree and then every

00:17:27.109 --> 00:17:29.869
church is there and they say oh, we've got three

00:17:29.869 --> 00:17:33.069
churches You you don't have us on your tree.

00:17:33.250 --> 00:17:36.670
Well, we said we had no idea you go to the office

00:17:36.670 --> 00:17:39.250
You go to the office and give the names and we'll

00:17:39.250 --> 00:17:45.369
put the apples. So we and now We have a problem

00:17:45.369 --> 00:17:49.009
We have a problem. We had a small tree tree started

00:17:49.009 --> 00:17:53.690
becoming big. We have a wall like You have 15

00:17:53.690 --> 00:18:00.410
by 20 or 25 Every whole wall is covered So he's

00:18:00.410 --> 00:18:03.569
saying oh now hundreds of more churches are how

00:18:03.569 --> 00:18:06.190
to put more apples here. There's no place so

00:18:06.190 --> 00:18:11.609
somebody Suggested instead of apple I have Grapes

00:18:11.609 --> 00:18:17.509
now Have a cluster of grape So we're gonna have

00:18:17.509 --> 00:18:19.849
on the grapes you have to write very small the

00:18:19.849 --> 00:18:24.519
name of the church It'll be a great tree, but

00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:30.440
you know It's very exciting time You know what's

00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:33.759
increasing there? Well, you know what is increasing

00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:38.819
the joy is increasing joy Folks let me tell you

00:18:38.819 --> 00:18:44.759
it's very important to have the joy enemy Tries

00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:47.680
to steal the joy and give you a lot of other

00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:50.269
things Don't be satisfied with the building.

00:18:50.390 --> 00:18:52.930
Don't be satisfied with the instrument. Don't

00:18:52.930 --> 00:18:57.450
be satisfied with number. But joy is very important.

00:18:57.589 --> 00:19:01.089
That's why the man of God said, Restore my joy.

00:19:01.190 --> 00:19:04.950
Give me the joy. And we see everywhere young

00:19:04.950 --> 00:19:07.930
people are on fire. People get ready in their

00:19:07.930 --> 00:19:10.630
houses for Sunday morning service as if they

00:19:10.630 --> 00:19:16.730
are going to some special party. They iron their

00:19:16.730 --> 00:19:20.170
dresses Saturday night. They're coming to church.

00:19:21.609 --> 00:19:25.609
I tell you, in India, there is a sport very popular,

00:19:25.970 --> 00:19:30.740
and that's cricket. Very popular. It's like your

00:19:30.740 --> 00:19:34.980
baseball or your basketball. It's more popular.

00:19:35.099 --> 00:19:38.559
Only one game is very popular. And whole India

00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:42.920
is glued when the Pakistan and India game takes

00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:45.900
place. No officers do anything. Everything is

00:19:45.900 --> 00:19:49.539
closed. They all watch the TV. And they all are

00:19:49.539 --> 00:19:54.839
busy. You know, when we had Pakistan and India

00:19:54.839 --> 00:19:59.809
game on one Sunday morning, the church No young

00:19:59.809 --> 00:20:02.730
man will watch the game. They will all be in

00:20:02.730 --> 00:20:04.869
the church, and they say, we'll watch the game

00:20:04.869 --> 00:20:08.410
after the church. They love church more than

00:20:08.410 --> 00:20:23.549
the game. This is amazing to see. I remember.

00:20:24.599 --> 00:20:26.720
20 years ago when I went to somebody's house

00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:28.980
and I said to a young man, hey, you should be

00:20:28.980 --> 00:20:31.859
a pastor. The father said to me, get out of my

00:20:31.859 --> 00:20:35.480
house. You want my son to be pastor? It was considered

00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:39.380
a low class job. And they didn't want us to encourage

00:20:39.380 --> 00:20:41.420
their children to become pastors. But today,

00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:43.980
they all want their children to become pastors.

00:20:45.210 --> 00:20:47.349
People come to me, they say, oh, I've got a daughter,

00:20:47.730 --> 00:20:50.490
I want you to give me a suitable match for my

00:20:50.490 --> 00:20:56.490
daughter, preferably a pastor from ABC. They

00:20:56.490 --> 00:20:59.369
want pastors everywhere. And with the result,

00:21:00.390 --> 00:21:03.890
hundreds of people all over want to pastor. We

00:21:03.890 --> 00:21:05.750
had one Bible college, then we had two Bible

00:21:05.750 --> 00:21:08.529
colleges, then three, then four, and now we have

00:21:08.529 --> 00:21:11.529
seven different places where we train people

00:21:11.529 --> 00:21:16.299
almost like... 200 people every year. And anybody

00:21:16.299 --> 00:21:20.259
who wants to become the pastor in ABC has to

00:21:20.259 --> 00:21:24.319
be graduated from one of these places. One of

00:21:24.319 --> 00:21:28.779
them is International School of Worship, in which

00:21:28.779 --> 00:21:33.220
Mark is International Director. And we have had

00:21:33.220 --> 00:21:37.049
nine bachelors graduate from there. And now next

00:21:37.049 --> 00:21:39.849
year 10th batch will graduate and it's amazing

00:21:39.849 --> 00:21:42.650
to see how they come to learn about praise and

00:21:42.650 --> 00:21:46.869
worship and how they go back in their situation,

00:21:47.410 --> 00:21:49.609
train other people about praise and worship and

00:21:49.609 --> 00:21:53.589
have good worship groups. They lead worship,

00:21:53.690 --> 00:21:56.970
amazing thing. Next year we are having a gathering

00:21:56.970 --> 00:22:03.059
of all the 10 batches and we have reunion. in

00:22:03.059 --> 00:22:05.319
the month of March when everybody will gather

00:22:05.319 --> 00:22:08.119
together and it will be a fun time next year

00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:11.259
in March. If there's anybody who wants to go

00:22:11.259 --> 00:22:12.819
in the International School of Worship, it's

00:22:12.819 --> 00:22:17.180
60 days program. Get together with Mark and we'd

00:22:17.180 --> 00:22:21.180
love to have you there. Come to India and learn

00:22:21.180 --> 00:22:23.420
about praise and worship. Learn any instrument

00:22:23.420 --> 00:22:26.539
you want to learn and it'll be great. Just a

00:22:26.539 --> 00:22:29.920
couple days ago I met a young man and he came

00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:32.740
to me. I was preaching in Longview and he said,

00:22:32.900 --> 00:22:35.650
I want to come to the School of Worship. So I

00:22:35.650 --> 00:22:38.569
said, okay, I'll send you the brochure and Mark

00:22:38.569 --> 00:22:41.109
will take the interview and he'll be there. And

00:22:41.109 --> 00:22:44.869
from many countries people have come and have

00:22:44.869 --> 00:22:47.440
been blessed. Thank you very much for bringing

00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:50.720
praise and worship to India. And now we are sending

00:22:50.720 --> 00:22:54.279
it all over India and to other countries. Continue

00:22:54.279 --> 00:22:57.420
to do this job is big, but God can do it. Continue

00:22:57.420 --> 00:23:00.339
to do what you're doing. Your prayer and your

00:23:00.339 --> 00:23:03.740
coming and your generous support is doing amazing

00:23:03.740 --> 00:23:06.960
thing. This is the last year of our Convention

00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:09.880
Center. It's going to be completed in October

00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:13.339
and we will have a facility ready for 4000 people

00:23:13.339 --> 00:23:16.940
to sleep outside. arena will be big enough to

00:23:16.940 --> 00:23:20.740
accommodate 12 ,000 people. We will have an auditorium

00:23:20.740 --> 00:23:25.039

00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:30.160
125 places. And it is amazing to see what God

00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:33.420
is doing. It is completed. It is going to be

00:23:33.420 --> 00:23:37.000
a big blessing. Not only we do our five conventions

Convention Center and that money is to maintain

00:23:54.660 --> 00:23:56.980

Continue to do it. God bless you. Let's turn

00:24:08.019 --> 00:24:13.549
to the Word of God and Want you to turn with

00:24:13.549 --> 00:24:22.869
me and some 149 some 149 and verse 4 and it reads

00:24:22.869 --> 00:24:26.009
like this For the Lord takes pleasure in his

00:24:26.009 --> 00:24:30.410
people for Lord takes pleasure in his people

00:24:30.890 --> 00:24:35.029
God is not sick and tired of His people. He doesn't

00:24:35.029 --> 00:24:39.630
say, hey, do I have to go there again? Is it

00:24:39.630 --> 00:24:44.890
Sunday? Gabriel, go and see who's calling me.

00:24:45.210 --> 00:24:48.690
I am tired. I don't want to meet them. But God

00:24:48.690 --> 00:24:52.150
takes pleasure in His people. He's happy to meet

00:24:52.150 --> 00:24:56.549
His people. This morning, it is God's joy to

00:24:56.549 --> 00:24:59.230
be here and to listen to our prayer. He takes

00:24:59.230 --> 00:25:01.990
pleasure. But that's not my message this morning.

00:25:02.490 --> 00:25:04.950
My message is the second part. What is the second

00:25:04.950 --> 00:25:09.470
part? He will beautify the humble. He will beautify.

00:25:09.789 --> 00:25:15.670
God wants to beautify. Hey, the whole world believes

00:25:15.670 --> 00:25:19.190
in beautification, you know. They made them all

00:25:19.190 --> 00:25:22.440
and they want to beautify them all. They want

00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:26.160
to put a tree and they want to put some more

00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:30.119
shops and some more lights They had the ordinary

00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:32.859
lights and now they are putting LED lights You

00:25:32.859 --> 00:25:36.079
know some focuses because everyone believes in

00:25:36.079 --> 00:25:38.279
beautifying it because some people are beautifying

00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:40.700
the kitchen Some people are beautifying church

00:25:40.700 --> 00:25:43.420
building the whole world isn't beautiful. God

00:25:43.420 --> 00:25:46.319
also believes in beautifying You know not that

00:25:46.319 --> 00:25:48.759
you come to the Lord and God did something and

00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:53.700
this is it no a day day day by day God wants

00:25:53.700 --> 00:25:57.299
to make you more beautiful. He's beautifying.

00:25:57.640 --> 00:26:00.640
He beautifies. And how does He beautify? He says

00:26:00.640 --> 00:26:05.980
He beautifies with what? With salvation. Wow!

00:26:07.420 --> 00:26:13.720
My topic is salvation beautifies you. Deliverance

00:26:13.799 --> 00:26:17.259
beautifies you when you come to God you become

00:26:17.259 --> 00:26:20.839
beautiful and then he calls you closer and closer

00:26:20.839 --> 00:26:24.160
and he does a little bit every day and makes

00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:26.960
you more beautiful because you got delivered

00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:29.440
one day you're continuously getting delivered

00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:32.319
and one day you will be totally delivered so

00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:36.220
his work is going on there is remodeling and

00:26:36.220 --> 00:26:39.180
making you better and better and better and better

00:26:39.180 --> 00:26:44.599
and better but there there is thing that he needs.

00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:49.099
He says, God will beautify you with his salvation,

00:26:49.500 --> 00:26:52.940
but there is one more thing in the midst of these

00:26:52.940 --> 00:26:55.380
things. Now listen to this, what is that thing?

00:26:55.640 --> 00:27:01.059
He will beautify the humble. Humble. Wow. What

00:27:01.059 --> 00:27:04.299
he needs, you know, for beautification, we need

00:27:04.299 --> 00:27:08.119
different things. We need, we need different

00:27:08.119 --> 00:27:12.990
items to beautify. But God says, I need... I

00:27:12.990 --> 00:27:15.410
don't want to beautify you, but I need your humbleness.

00:27:15.950 --> 00:27:17.869
What you need to do, many times you and I can

00:27:17.869 --> 00:27:20.589
go to God, God, you want to beautify me. What

00:27:20.589 --> 00:27:23.690
do you need? God says, I need humbleness. I need

00:27:23.690 --> 00:27:27.269
meekness. I need meekness to beautify you. That's

00:27:27.269 --> 00:27:30.349
a must ingredient, you know. I'm a kitchen man,

00:27:30.410 --> 00:27:35.410
so I use the kitchen examples. If you want to

00:27:35.410 --> 00:27:38.809
do beef stew, you can do beef stew without carrots,

00:27:39.049 --> 00:27:41.369
can't you? You can do beef stew without onion.

00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:44.460
You can do beef stew without garlic. You can

00:27:44.460 --> 00:27:48.740
do beef stew without carrots. But you cannot

00:27:48.740 --> 00:27:53.220
do beef stew without beef. And don't you ever

00:27:53.220 --> 00:27:55.140
try to do beef stew without beef? That's what

00:27:55.140 --> 00:27:57.839
God says. I can do it. I can do without so many

00:27:57.839 --> 00:28:00.700
things. He can do without English. He can do

00:28:00.700 --> 00:28:03.980
without a building. He can do without your intelligence.

00:28:04.119 --> 00:28:08.539
He can do without a car. But He cannot beautify

00:28:08.539 --> 00:28:13.660
you without meekness. Humbleness is the most

00:28:13.660 --> 00:28:18.579
ingredient in order for God to beautify us. He

00:28:18.579 --> 00:28:22.640
will beautify the meek. Let me ask you to read

00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:27.759
the scripture and this is Psalm 10, 17. Psalm

00:28:27.759 --> 00:28:31.500
10, 17. The first scripture, Psalm 10, 17. Listen

00:28:31.500 --> 00:28:34.039
to this. Lord, you have heard the desires of

00:28:34.039 --> 00:28:38.400
the humble. This is what problem is. Many times

00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:40.579
we say, oh, I don't know why God is not hearing

00:28:40.579 --> 00:28:43.400
me. I don't know why God is not here. You see

00:28:43.400 --> 00:28:47.460
how stubborn you are. You see how arrogant you

00:28:47.460 --> 00:28:50.759
are. You see how proud you are. And God says,

00:28:51.019 --> 00:28:56.000
I will not listen to anybody until they are humble.

00:28:57.150 --> 00:29:00.369
You want your prayer to reach heaven? You want

00:29:00.369 --> 00:29:03.650
the answer to come from there? You need to become

00:29:03.650 --> 00:29:06.089
humble. And you know, it's in your hand to become

00:29:06.089 --> 00:29:08.130
humble. You don't have to have a million dollars

00:29:08.130 --> 00:29:10.910
to be humble. You don't have to go to Rome to

00:29:10.910 --> 00:29:14.609
become humble. And you don't have to be six foot

00:29:14.609 --> 00:29:18.470
five inches to be humble. You could be five foot

00:29:18.470 --> 00:29:21.710
two inches to be humble. You could weigh 40 pounds

00:29:21.710 --> 00:29:25.400
to be humble. Okay, listen to this. God says,

00:29:25.960 --> 00:29:29.380
I will hear humble. You want God to hear your

00:29:29.380 --> 00:29:32.119
prayer? You need to be humble. What else He says?

00:29:32.339 --> 00:29:36.559
Okay. You will prepare their heart. He will prepare

00:29:36.559 --> 00:29:40.720
their heart. God says, I'll prepare you. I'll

00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:43.700
prepare you. I'll prompt you. I'll lead you.

00:29:43.900 --> 00:29:46.640
I'll guide you. I'll govern you. I'll tell you

00:29:46.640 --> 00:29:49.400
where to go. I'll tell you how to do it. I'll

00:29:49.400 --> 00:29:51.259
tell you how to become beautiful. I'll prepare

00:29:51.259 --> 00:29:55.079
your heart. I'll prepare your heart. I'll make

00:29:55.079 --> 00:29:57.599
you something. God is about to make you very

00:29:57.599 --> 00:29:59.880
beautiful. He wants to make you very beautiful,

00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:03.839
but He wants our humbleness, our meekness. The

00:30:03.839 --> 00:30:09.420
word that is used in other translations for God

00:30:09.420 --> 00:30:12.059
to beautify, there's another word. If you read

00:30:12.059 --> 00:30:16.119
Psalm 149 verse 4, other translation. Anybody's

00:30:16.119 --> 00:30:19.079
got another translation? There are many translations.

00:30:19.619 --> 00:30:22.309
One translation reads like this. Somebody else

00:30:22.309 --> 00:30:34.390
has another translation. Psalm 149 verse 4. What?

00:30:38.750 --> 00:30:45.089
Yeah. Beautify. Anybody has another word? What?

00:30:46.349 --> 00:30:50.410
Read it man. You are the one. He crowns the humble.

00:30:51.849 --> 00:30:58.309
He turns you into a king. He takes a beggar and

00:30:58.309 --> 00:31:03.069
he puts a crown on beggar's head. He makes you

00:31:03.069 --> 00:31:06.789
king. The people next to you, left and right,

00:31:07.109 --> 00:31:09.990
they look at you, there's a king, the bar before

00:31:09.990 --> 00:31:13.809
you. Why? Because you're humble. You want God

00:31:13.809 --> 00:31:17.150
to make you a king? He, you want to have the

00:31:17.150 --> 00:31:20.849
authority of a king? Just become humble. He crowns.

00:31:20.970 --> 00:31:23.890
Another translation I read and it says he adorns.

00:31:25.690 --> 00:31:29.549
And adorns, this word adorn is used only for

00:31:29.549 --> 00:31:35.170
bride. Bride is adorned. He makes you so beautiful

00:31:35.170 --> 00:31:38.430
that you can become his bride. He's the groom.

00:31:38.730 --> 00:31:42.690
He first makes you worthy to become his bride

00:31:42.690 --> 00:31:46.430
and then he marries you. You don't have to do

00:31:46.430 --> 00:31:48.589
anything, you know. You don't have to become

00:31:48.589 --> 00:31:51.049
anything in order to be married to Jesus Christ.

00:31:51.269 --> 00:31:53.549
Many people say, well, I'm not that good. You

00:31:53.549 --> 00:31:55.829
don't have to be that good. You just stay where

00:31:55.829 --> 00:31:59.869
you are, and God is going to equip you. He's

00:31:59.869 --> 00:32:02.109
going to train you. He's going to direct you.

00:32:02.170 --> 00:32:04.190
He's going to make you, and He's going to be

00:32:04.190 --> 00:32:06.410
able to find you. He's going to adorn you. He's

00:32:06.410 --> 00:32:09.230
going to put a crown. You know, right? They have

00:32:09.230 --> 00:32:11.869
a crown. At the time of the wedding, He gives

00:32:11.869 --> 00:32:15.029
you a crown. He says, I marry you. But what do

00:32:15.029 --> 00:32:19.250
I do? You only become humble. Humble. You let

00:32:19.250 --> 00:32:22.630
me do it. A lot of times, don't touch me here.

00:32:22.890 --> 00:32:27.289
Don't do this. No, I don't want that. Don't tell

00:32:27.289 --> 00:32:29.829
me this. I just came to church because I like

00:32:29.829 --> 00:32:34.190
the music. But don't tell me that. You only like

00:32:34.190 --> 00:32:37.170
music. You can never become anything. I cannot

00:32:37.170 --> 00:32:39.190
beautify you because you have to become very

00:32:39.190 --> 00:32:41.450
humble. When somebody tries to make you, when

00:32:41.450 --> 00:32:43.369
the Spirit of God is leading, when the worship

00:32:43.369 --> 00:32:45.230
team is leading, when the pastor is preaching,

00:32:45.490 --> 00:32:47.650
you allow the Holy Spirit to make you. And if

00:32:47.650 --> 00:32:49.170
you don't allow the Holy Spirit to make you anything,

00:32:49.410 --> 00:32:51.829
you can't become anything. You'll stay 15, 20,

00:32:51.890 --> 00:32:54.509
30 years all your life as you are and you'll

00:32:54.509 --> 00:32:56.789
blame God. I came to the church. I gave all my

00:32:56.789 --> 00:32:58.730
tithes and offering. I've been in the church.

00:32:58.990 --> 00:33:00.910
When the church building was done, I did this

00:33:00.910 --> 00:33:05.049
and I get so much money. My name is not even

00:33:05.049 --> 00:33:10.329
in the flyer. Because he can't do anything. He

00:33:10.329 --> 00:33:12.769
wants to do it. He wants to beautify you. He

00:33:12.769 --> 00:33:14.589
wants to put your crown on your head. He wants

00:33:14.589 --> 00:33:17.269
to make you king. He wants to take you from beggar's

00:33:17.269 --> 00:33:23.490
place. And he wants to put you as a king. But

00:33:23.490 --> 00:33:26.589
that is something that is needed. Read Psalm

00:33:26.589 --> 00:33:33.170
25 verse 9. Psalm 25. Verse 9 25 comes after

00:33:33.170 --> 00:33:41.549
24 See I made it easy Psalm 25 verse 9 listen

00:33:41.549 --> 00:33:48.509
to this one The humble he guides in justice what?

00:33:50.809 --> 00:33:55.650
Humble he guides in justice Folks he'll make

00:33:55.650 --> 00:33:58.849
you a judge you will be able to differentiate

00:33:58.849 --> 00:34:06.390
between right and Wrong. Many times we say, well,

00:34:06.390 --> 00:34:08.889
I didn't know that thing, you know. I made a

00:34:08.889 --> 00:34:12.210
wrong decision. I took a wrong choice. It's not

00:34:12.210 --> 00:34:14.750
because you didn't know. It's because you didn't

00:34:14.750 --> 00:34:17.210
become humble and you didn't surrender yourself

00:34:17.210 --> 00:34:19.710
to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. You

00:34:19.710 --> 00:34:22.250
didn't say, God, you promised that you'll beatify

00:34:22.250 --> 00:34:25.170
me. Now here am I. Here's my money. Here's my

00:34:25.170 --> 00:34:30.190
family, my children. You teach me how to judge.

00:34:30.320 --> 00:34:35.699
between right and wrong. He guides people humble

00:34:35.699 --> 00:34:38.739
in judgment. He will not guide you. He will not

00:34:38.739 --> 00:34:41.440
make you the right judge until you're humble.

00:34:41.800 --> 00:34:45.019
If you say, God, I joined this church. You know,

00:34:45.059 --> 00:34:47.980
I make so much money. I've got this. That's why

00:34:47.980 --> 00:34:52.920
I come to you. Never say to God, hey, God, you

00:34:52.920 --> 00:34:55.940
can use me. I'm there. You probably don't have

00:34:55.940 --> 00:35:01.320
anybody like me. No, don't do. Go. Go to God

00:35:01.320 --> 00:35:03.900
and say, God, I want your judgment. I want your

00:35:03.900 --> 00:35:06.840
direction. I want your beautification. I want

00:35:06.840 --> 00:35:10.360
your crown on my head. I want you to tell me

00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:14.659
what to do and what not to do. I am poor. I am

00:35:14.659 --> 00:35:19.179
needy. I don't know how to do it. I become humble.

00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:24.639
Many people would do anything, argue for 150

00:35:24.639 --> 00:35:30.010
hours and never say, OK, sorry. Husband and wife

00:35:30.010 --> 00:35:32.309
will fight together. And that's the reason why

00:35:32.309 --> 00:35:34.710
the house is not becoming beautiful. The family

00:35:34.710 --> 00:35:36.550
is not becoming beautiful. Both of them have

00:35:36.550 --> 00:35:43.769
a job and make $55 an hour. Where is money going?

00:35:44.110 --> 00:35:49.269
Houses in bad shape. Why? Because none of them

00:35:49.269 --> 00:35:54.030
is humble. Because she says, it's me. And he

00:35:54.030 --> 00:35:57.130
says, it's me. I did it. It's because of me.

00:35:57.909 --> 00:36:00.710
I built this house. I bought this car. This is

00:36:00.710 --> 00:36:06.289
my car. Somebody needs to say, I'm sorry, my

00:36:06.289 --> 00:36:11.010
mistake. I will not do it. Honey, forgive me.

00:36:12.610 --> 00:36:15.210
You want to beautify your family, your house,

00:36:15.329 --> 00:36:20.469
your children, your future? You want God to do

00:36:20.469 --> 00:36:22.889
it? You want God to stretch out His hand and

00:36:22.889 --> 00:36:28.260
do it? He wants you to say, Have thine own way,

00:36:28.460 --> 00:36:33.599
Lord, have thine own way. Don't say, what are

00:36:33.599 --> 00:36:37.500
you doing? Tell me, show me what you're going

00:36:37.500 --> 00:36:42.579
to make. He says, the good thing is this. You

00:36:42.579 --> 00:36:44.980
never know about the potters because you don't

00:36:44.980 --> 00:36:47.440
have potters here. But in India, you go to any

00:36:47.440 --> 00:36:49.760
village, there's potters. And the good thing

00:36:49.760 --> 00:36:52.059
is potters and builders, two different people.

00:36:52.300 --> 00:36:56.280
Builder has a plan. And builder builds the car,

00:36:56.440 --> 00:36:59.400
and you ask him, you are the owner of the house,

00:36:59.599 --> 00:37:01.760
you can ask builder, hey, what is this wall?

00:37:01.960 --> 00:37:04.139
He say, this is a bathroom wall, and this is

00:37:04.139 --> 00:37:06.099
a lounge wall. He can tell you. But you go to

00:37:06.099 --> 00:37:08.340
the parlor, parlor will say, what are you doing?

00:37:09.679 --> 00:37:12.800
What is it? I've got it here. I've got it here.

00:37:12.960 --> 00:37:15.420
I can't tell you. You will see it pretty soon

00:37:15.420 --> 00:37:18.719
after I've done it. Potter cannot tell you what,

00:37:18.719 --> 00:37:21.679
but Potter has a plan and our God is a potter

00:37:21.679 --> 00:37:24.139
and he's got a plan in his mind and simply say,

00:37:24.139 --> 00:37:26.380
have thine own way Lord, have thine own way.

00:37:26.480 --> 00:37:29.239
I know you know what you're making, I'm just

00:37:29.239 --> 00:37:32.500
a dust, I'm just a dirt, I'm just a mud, I'm

00:37:32.500 --> 00:37:34.579
just clay and you turn and twist your finger

00:37:34.579 --> 00:37:36.579
to make me, I know what you're gonna make me,

00:37:36.719 --> 00:37:45.579
make of me, it's good. It's good. Psalm 76 verse

00:37:45.579 --> 00:37:49.829
9. Psalm 76 verse 9 listen to this one Psalm

00:37:49.829 --> 00:37:56.489
76 and verse 9 and it reads like this Psalm 76

00:37:56.489 --> 00:38:01.969
verse 9 when God arose to judgment to deliver

00:38:01.969 --> 00:38:06.510
all oppressed of the earth when God arose for

00:38:06.510 --> 00:38:13.710
judgment to deliver the word that written my

00:38:13.710 --> 00:38:20.699
language is to deliver all meek or humble who

00:38:20.699 --> 00:38:23.340
say, Oh, I'm nothing. I don't have anything.

00:38:23.820 --> 00:38:26.699
God doesn't want us to say, Hey, God, you want

00:38:26.699 --> 00:38:30.099
to fight for me? Okay, fight. I'm a great man.

00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:36.500
God wants us to say we were in the prayer room

00:38:36.500 --> 00:38:43.099
yesterday and God was speaking to different people.

00:38:44.779 --> 00:38:48.559
And Kelly was leading the prayer, and he asked

00:38:48.559 --> 00:38:50.159
everyone, do you have anything, do you have anything,

00:38:50.239 --> 00:38:52.599
do you have anything? When he came to me, and

00:38:52.599 --> 00:38:56.340
he asked me, do you have anything? I said, I

00:38:56.340 --> 00:38:59.639
was scared when you got up to preach, when you

00:38:59.639 --> 00:39:03.159
got up to share. You got scared? I said, yeah,

00:39:03.460 --> 00:39:06.639
you started preaching my message. And I said,

00:39:06.719 --> 00:39:08.320
God, if he preaches everything here, what am

00:39:08.320 --> 00:39:12.840
I going to preach there? Exactly who is... So,

00:39:12.940 --> 00:39:16.019
you know, he quoted a verse, and I can quote

00:39:16.019 --> 00:39:18.579
it now because he's not here. Is he here? No.

00:39:18.639 --> 00:39:29.800
Good. And that was the 21st verse of Judah. 21st

00:39:29.800 --> 00:39:33.719
verse of Judah. Judah only has one chapter. So

00:39:33.719 --> 00:39:36.440
Judah, 21st verse. Anybody has Judah in your

00:39:36.440 --> 00:39:39.340
Bible? Before Revelation. Before Revelation is

00:39:39.340 --> 00:39:44.530
Judah, or Jude. Book of Jude, we call Judah.

00:39:46.550 --> 00:39:49.630
Book of Jude, 21st verse. Listen to this one.

00:39:49.750 --> 00:39:54.110
This is very good. Book of Jude, 21st verse.

00:40:02.690 --> 00:40:05.289
You get it. We don't have any other meeting after

00:40:05.289 --> 00:40:07.510
that. You simply have to go home and have lunch.

00:40:12.429 --> 00:40:20.409
Book of Jude, 21st verse. Here it is. Keep yourselves

00:40:20.409 --> 00:40:24.150
in the love of God. Keep yourself in the love

00:40:24.150 --> 00:40:27.550
of God. This is probably a bit easy. Okay, what

00:40:27.550 --> 00:40:31.449
else? Looking for mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ.

00:40:31.570 --> 00:40:36.429
Looking for what? I mean this is written by people

00:40:36.429 --> 00:40:39.670
who know the Lord. Looking for mercy. Now there

00:40:39.670 --> 00:40:43.579
are two things. When you're looking for mercy,

00:40:43.619 --> 00:40:46.239
that means you're telling it I am not worthy

00:40:46.239 --> 00:40:50.699
mercy is Expecting somebody to do something for

00:40:50.699 --> 00:40:55.739
you, which you are not worthy for Looking for

00:40:55.739 --> 00:41:00.599
mercy for what looking for mercy And to eternal

00:41:00.599 --> 00:41:05.239
life of our Lord Jesus Christ you are looking

00:41:05.239 --> 00:41:08.619
for mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ for the eternal

00:41:08.619 --> 00:41:13.780
life the eternal life. Oh, I get the eternal

00:41:13.780 --> 00:41:16.920
life because I left my old life, you know, I

00:41:16.920 --> 00:41:19.719
gave my whole house, two million dollar I gave

00:41:19.719 --> 00:41:24.719
and you know, I'm the elder of the church, so

00:41:24.719 --> 00:41:27.769
I'm going to get the eternal life. Because I've

00:41:27.769 --> 00:41:31.349
done. No, you looking for eternal life, you say,

00:41:31.429 --> 00:41:34.309
God, please give me eternal life. Please give

00:41:34.309 --> 00:41:37.809
me eternal life. It's a mercy. You don't get

00:41:37.809 --> 00:41:40.010
eternal life because you earned it. You get the

00:41:40.010 --> 00:41:43.429
eternal life because of the mercy of God. Or

00:41:43.429 --> 00:41:46.369
on the last day before you die, you could have

00:41:46.369 --> 00:41:49.530
stumbled and finished. and gone. But when you

00:41:49.530 --> 00:41:52.590
ask God, don't say God because I did this, because

00:41:52.590 --> 00:41:56.550
I did that. I deserve eternal life. Nobody deserves

00:41:56.550 --> 00:41:59.050
eternal life. We're only looking for the mercy

00:41:59.050 --> 00:42:03.920
of God. Mercy of God. Mercy of God. Every day,

00:42:04.139 --> 00:42:07.559
when you go before God, God, you design me, you

00:42:07.559 --> 00:42:10.599
enthrone me, you put a crown on my head, you

00:42:10.599 --> 00:42:14.579
adorn me, you build me up, Lord, you beautify

00:42:14.579 --> 00:42:17.639
me, you do the things you promise. I cannot do

00:42:17.639 --> 00:42:21.179
it. And only thing you need to do is just become

00:42:21.179 --> 00:42:24.219
humble, you know, trembling before God after

00:42:24.219 --> 00:42:27.239
you have done miracles, after you have done preaching,

00:42:27.579 --> 00:42:30.019
after you can sing best song, after you're the

00:42:30.019 --> 00:42:33.440
best player. musician of the world you come trembling

00:42:33.440 --> 00:42:37.480
before God because he needs only one thing only

00:42:37.480 --> 00:42:44.360
one condition and that is what meekness humbleness

00:42:44.360 --> 00:42:47.719
because of stubbornness we are not able to do

00:42:47.719 --> 00:42:50.119
anything a king in the Old Testament becomes

00:42:51.309 --> 00:42:54.389
Stubborn he he heard the word of God. He knew

00:42:54.389 --> 00:42:57.610
he's doing the wrong. He's chasing a man of God

00:42:57.610 --> 00:42:59.590
He wants to kill him, but he was so stubborn

00:42:59.590 --> 00:43:03.510
in the battlefield He asked his arm a bear to

00:43:03.510 --> 00:43:06.289
kill him, but he said no I'm not going to do

00:43:06.289 --> 00:43:10.170
it So he fell on his own sword instead of saying

00:43:10.170 --> 00:43:13.590
God, please forgive me Why all these things happening

00:43:13.590 --> 00:43:16.550
to me because I send against you for would you

00:43:16.550 --> 00:43:19.630
please one day you anointed me with the oil you

00:43:19.630 --> 00:43:22.800
made me king but I'm sorry I went astray." He

00:43:22.800 --> 00:43:28.300
wouldn't say sorry to God. One day he was facing

00:43:28.300 --> 00:43:31.199
the man of God and he said, I did everything

00:43:31.199 --> 00:43:33.960
what God wanted me to do. And Samuel said, no,

00:43:34.099 --> 00:43:37.119
how can I hear this noise if you have done the

00:43:37.119 --> 00:43:39.739
will of God? He could have fallen before God

00:43:39.739 --> 00:43:42.039
and said, sorry God, I didn't do you. But you

00:43:42.039 --> 00:43:47.320
know, many opportunities God gives us to accept

00:43:47.320 --> 00:43:50.710
that we are wrong. and allow him to start working

00:43:50.710 --> 00:43:54.429
on him. He designs and makes you into a beautiful

00:43:54.429 --> 00:43:59.110
poet. I want you to read about this man. 1 Timothy

00:43:59.110 --> 00:44:07.630
1 .15. 1 Timothy 1 .15. 1 Timothy 1 .15. And

00:44:07.630 --> 00:44:10.769
listen to this. Paul is writing something. A

00:44:10.769 --> 00:44:15.489
man like Paul would say that. I don't understand

00:44:15.489 --> 00:44:19.239
how... How can a man like Paul will say, 1st

00:44:19.239 --> 00:44:23.059
Timothy 1 .15, listen to this one. This is a

00:44:23.059 --> 00:44:25.460
faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance.

00:44:25.780 --> 00:44:27.960
Worthy of all acceptance. This is a faithful

00:44:27.960 --> 00:44:30.539
saying. There is nothing wrong in it. What is

00:44:30.539 --> 00:44:33.119
that? That Jesus Christ came into the world to

00:44:33.119 --> 00:44:36.380
save sinners. Yes. Whom I am the chief. What?

00:44:40.400 --> 00:44:44.869
A lot of people want to be called chief. But

00:44:44.869 --> 00:44:47.389
they want to be called chief musician, chief

00:44:47.389 --> 00:44:52.630
preacher, chief counselor, chief pastor, chief

00:44:52.630 --> 00:44:56.230
businessman. But this guy is calling himself.

00:44:56.389 --> 00:45:00.969
He didn't say, I was the chief. He said, I am

00:45:00.969 --> 00:45:05.309
the chief and the biggest sinner. and that's

00:45:05.309 --> 00:45:08.329
the reason why God was able to design his life

00:45:08.329 --> 00:45:12.750
and he wrote 13 books and probably 14 and the

00:45:12.750 --> 00:45:16.010
guy established churches and he did things and

00:45:16.010 --> 00:45:19.710
even today everywhere in the world people are

00:45:19.710 --> 00:45:23.190
reading his books you know his letters are being

00:45:23.190 --> 00:45:26.809
blessed why because the guy was able to recognize

00:45:26.809 --> 00:45:30.429
even though he's a scholar even though he's the

00:45:30.429 --> 00:45:32.789
friend of the governor he used to sit with the

00:45:32.789 --> 00:45:35.469
king even though he's He's a very qualified man,

00:45:35.590 --> 00:45:40.429
but he's the chief sinner. There will be no fight.

00:45:41.650 --> 00:45:44.730
When a wife said, no, sir, my husband, it's my

00:45:44.730 --> 00:45:47.289
fault. And husband said, no, it's my fault. No

00:45:47.289 --> 00:45:54.090
fight. No fight. I made more mistakes. Oh no,

00:45:54.110 --> 00:45:57.130
I made more mistakes. The house will be like

00:45:57.130 --> 00:45:59.630
heaven. It will be a beautiful house. The children

00:45:59.630 --> 00:46:03.590
will be beautiful. everything will look like

00:46:03.590 --> 00:46:06.610
heaven you know try to decorate your house with

00:46:06.610 --> 00:46:13.050
flowers and be stubborn like this nobody's talking

00:46:13.050 --> 00:46:18.550
to anybody why did you say that to my mother

00:46:18.550 --> 00:46:23.090
why did you say to my mother oh I hate my father

00:46:23.090 --> 00:46:25.900
-in -law I hate my mother -in -law Instead of

00:46:25.900 --> 00:46:28.760
all those things you could say, I'm sorry, my

00:46:28.760 --> 00:46:30.980
mistake. I should not have said this thing. I

00:46:30.980 --> 00:46:34.440
would not have done this and things will change.

00:46:34.840 --> 00:46:39.559
Job 22nd chapter, book of Job 22nd chapter, verse

00:46:39.559 --> 00:46:44.519
29 and 30. Book of Job 22nd chapter, verse 29

00:46:44.519 --> 00:46:48.199
and 30. Listen to this one. Then they cast you

00:46:48.199 --> 00:46:52.980
down. You say exaltation will come. When somebody

00:46:52.980 --> 00:46:58.769
cast you down? then you say exaltation is coming

00:46:58.769 --> 00:47:05.210
somebody kicks you somebody is going to respect

00:47:05.210 --> 00:47:09.190
me next when you cast you down you say what do

00:47:09.190 --> 00:47:11.949
you say when somebody casts you down see they

00:47:11.949 --> 00:47:15.929
cast me down see they are mocking at me see they

00:47:15.929 --> 00:47:21.289
are ridiculing me see they didn't invite me all

00:47:21.289 --> 00:47:23.010
over the world people are just talking about

00:47:23.010 --> 00:47:26.000
how they are casted how they were neglected,

00:47:26.159 --> 00:47:29.820
how people ignored them, how many people didn't

00:47:29.820 --> 00:47:34.440
call them, I'm not invited in the party. Instead

00:47:34.440 --> 00:47:36.599
of saying that, you say no, but they will invite

00:47:36.599 --> 00:47:39.199
me in a party, they will call me, they will forget

00:47:39.199 --> 00:47:41.880
me, but next day they will do it. When they cast

00:47:41.880 --> 00:47:46.679
you, you say exaltation is coming. Okay, what

00:47:46.679 --> 00:47:50.659
else? Then he will save the humble person. Then.

00:47:52.010 --> 00:47:54.969
After your response is like this, what is your

00:47:54.969 --> 00:47:59.309
response? When your response is positive, then

00:47:59.309 --> 00:48:03.429
he will, he will, what? He will save the humble

00:48:03.429 --> 00:48:09.050
person. Okay. You won't got to work? your situation.

00:48:09.130 --> 00:48:11.070
Don't talk about the negative. Don't talk about

00:48:11.070 --> 00:48:13.070
what people did. Don't talk about people who

00:48:13.070 --> 00:48:15.429
tried to cast you down. You only talk about the

00:48:15.429 --> 00:48:17.429
exhortation. You talk about good people. You

00:48:17.429 --> 00:48:19.230
talk about good parties. You talk about people

00:48:19.230 --> 00:48:21.329
who recognize you. When you do this, and God

00:48:21.329 --> 00:48:23.489
knows you're humble, you're not talking against

00:48:23.489 --> 00:48:25.889
anybody, you're not backbiting, you're not worried

00:48:25.889 --> 00:48:27.989
about those things, then God starts raising you

00:48:27.989 --> 00:48:30.510
up, lifting you up, and he blesses you, and then

00:48:30.510 --> 00:48:32.429
what happens? Next verse, listen to this one.

00:48:32.550 --> 00:48:35.590
This is a great verse. You can record this verse

00:48:35.590 --> 00:48:38.820
and listen to it every day. Listen. He will even

00:48:38.820 --> 00:48:45.119
deliver the one who is not innocent. What? You

00:48:45.119 --> 00:48:48.260
are not innocent. You did it. You are at fault.

00:48:49.400 --> 00:48:53.219
You are mistake. But He said, who cares? I will

00:48:53.219 --> 00:49:00.300
still deliver that person. A humble man with

00:49:00.300 --> 00:49:05.059
mistake is blessed by God and proud man without

00:49:05.059 --> 00:49:11.469
mistake is not blessed by God. I never made a

00:49:11.469 --> 00:49:16.010
mistake. Okay, you never made a mistake. You

00:49:16.010 --> 00:49:26.250
are a mistake yourself. I wanted to go to six

00:49:26.250 --> 00:49:30.769
examples, but that will be like an evening meeting.

00:49:32.570 --> 00:49:34.250
And you don't have a meeting in the evening,

00:49:34.710 --> 00:49:37.480
so I have to finish in the afternoon. But I'll

00:49:37.480 --> 00:49:39.219
definitely take some examples. The number one

00:49:39.219 --> 00:49:42.780
example is Luke's Gospel 15 chapter. I'll start

00:49:42.780 --> 00:49:46.380
reading from the verse 22. Luke's Gospel 15 chapter.

00:49:47.159 --> 00:49:49.239
But the father said to his servant, bring out

00:49:49.239 --> 00:49:53.239
the best robe and put it on him. What? What are

00:49:53.239 --> 00:49:58.639
you saying father? Master? Best robe? This guy

00:49:58.639 --> 00:50:02.300
was kicked! He was not even allowed to eat the

00:50:02.300 --> 00:50:04.900
food that pigs were eating. And look at his clothes.

00:50:05.239 --> 00:50:07.880
He's wasted your money and you want the best

00:50:07.880 --> 00:50:14.199
clothes? Because he said, Father, I've sinned

00:50:14.199 --> 00:50:17.599
against God and I've sinned against you. Because

00:50:17.599 --> 00:50:20.780
he said, I'm not worthy to be called your son.

00:50:21.139 --> 00:50:25.619
Because he said, put me to work. A lot of people

00:50:25.619 --> 00:50:29.519
would not like to work. They would select what

00:50:29.519 --> 00:50:32.760
they will do He said give me any work keep me

00:50:32.760 --> 00:50:36.159
as a servant and servant in Eastern culture servant

00:50:36.159 --> 00:50:41.760
is no job description you only Settle the money

00:50:41.760 --> 00:50:45.019
you servant and you know job description. Whatever

00:50:45.019 --> 00:50:50.159
you ask. He has to do it his servant No job description,

00:50:50.340 --> 00:50:54.639
but the guy was a ready to do anything. He humbled

00:50:54.639 --> 00:50:56.820
himself so much He said I have sinned against

00:50:56.820 --> 00:51:00.400
God and you and father said I want you to get

00:51:00.400 --> 00:51:05.019
the best robe listen to this He didn't ask a

00:51:05.019 --> 00:51:09.260
servant read it again. Who did he ask he asked?

00:51:11.360 --> 00:51:13.320
But the father said to his servant bring out

00:51:13.320 --> 00:51:18.199
into servants servants plural That means it's

00:51:18.199 --> 00:51:24.559
not only one coat It is a coat and a show and

00:51:24.559 --> 00:51:28.639
a trouser and Undergarment and all things more

00:51:28.639 --> 00:51:31.519
than one servant goes to get this and they're

00:51:31.519 --> 00:51:34.019
talking about theirself I don't understand this

00:51:34.019 --> 00:51:36.579
guy wasted everything and you know this guy should

00:51:36.579 --> 00:51:39.320
be kicked out because he lost everything and

00:51:39.320 --> 00:51:41.760
I don't understand why we are supposed to take

00:51:41.760 --> 00:51:44.800
the best of the cloud and why and then somebody

00:51:44.800 --> 00:51:49.739
said hey, no this guy came repented and he said

00:51:49.739 --> 00:51:54.460
sorry so father said go and bring the best robe

00:51:54.460 --> 00:51:56.699
listen to this one very carefully when you read

00:51:56.699 --> 00:51:59.679
bible read every comma and full stop don't miss

00:51:59.679 --> 00:52:01.579
anything because there are meanings in comma

00:52:01.579 --> 00:52:03.800
and full stop also okay listen to this he said

00:52:03.800 --> 00:52:08.679
to servants go and bring the best robe and put

00:52:08.679 --> 00:52:14.980
it on him and put it on him don't just give him

00:52:14.980 --> 00:52:18.840
this is only Royal treatment in the Eastern culture,

00:52:19.280 --> 00:52:21.880
the kings never wore their own clothes. The king

00:52:21.880 --> 00:52:24.019
will do like this, and somebody put one sleeve.

00:52:24.480 --> 00:52:26.500
Then they will do like this, and somebody else

00:52:26.500 --> 00:52:28.199
will put another sleeve. There are two people

00:52:28.199 --> 00:52:32.389
to put the coat on him. Wow, I can't understand.

00:52:32.969 --> 00:52:36.010
This guy has lost everything. He was living with

00:52:36.010 --> 00:52:39.809
the pigs. Dirty man. He wasted all his money.

00:52:40.070 --> 00:52:42.250
He was not even allowed to eat the food the pigs

00:52:42.250 --> 00:52:44.630
were eating and here he's got this treatment.

00:52:44.630 --> 00:52:47.929
Why? Because he humbled himself and he said I've

00:52:47.929 --> 00:52:54.829
sinned against God. Okay. You ready for the next

00:52:54.829 --> 00:52:58.280
one? Listen to this one. And put a ring on his

00:52:58.280 --> 00:53:02.420
hand. Put a ring on his? Just don't, just don't

00:53:02.420 --> 00:53:13.340
give him a ring. Who put the ring on your hand?

00:53:19.880 --> 00:53:23.019
There's a time which is called a very, very important

00:53:23.019 --> 00:53:28.510
time. And a guy comes and says, I give you this

00:53:28.510 --> 00:53:37.949
ring. And that ring is in your finger. God wants

00:53:37.949 --> 00:53:46.389
to put a ring on your finger, marry you. He's

00:53:46.389 --> 00:53:51.630
not even asking what you have been in past, but

00:53:51.630 --> 00:53:57.059
he's saying with this ring. I marry you, and

00:53:57.059 --> 00:53:59.679
I give you the authority. You can take my wallet

00:53:59.679 --> 00:54:02.159
and spend the money. You can take my plastic

00:54:02.159 --> 00:54:06.519
card and charge it. You can do things. Giving

00:54:06.519 --> 00:54:10.780
you authority. In India, I don't know if you

00:54:10.780 --> 00:54:15.059
say it in America or not. In India, when we marry,

00:54:15.340 --> 00:54:20.099
we say, and I make you partner in all my wealth.

00:54:21.059 --> 00:54:24.800
All my wealth with this ring I marry you and

00:54:24.800 --> 00:54:28.340
I make you equal partner in all my wealth I have

00:54:28.340 --> 00:54:33.920
What I have I give to you Somebody giving you

00:54:33.920 --> 00:54:37.739
who lost everything before who's been a bad man

00:54:37.739 --> 00:54:40.719
Because you just said I've sinned against God

00:54:40.719 --> 00:54:46.340
and you Moreover in the Eastern culture in early

00:54:46.340 --> 00:54:50.139
days the ring used to have a seal and you write

00:54:50.139 --> 00:54:53.019
a document and you seal the document with that

00:54:53.019 --> 00:54:57.460
ring and son does not have that he cannot sign

00:54:57.460 --> 00:55:00.059
any document and father said I give you that

00:55:00.059 --> 00:55:02.139
ring again so that you can write anything you

00:55:02.139 --> 00:55:06.260
want and sign the document but why are you giving

00:55:06.260 --> 00:55:09.659
him again servants cannot he said did you not

00:55:09.659 --> 00:55:12.320
hear he said I sinned against God and you I'm

00:55:12.320 --> 00:55:16.199
not worthy God wants to hear this from you your

00:55:16.199 --> 00:55:20.809
unworthiness Don't brag about what you have done,

00:55:21.230 --> 00:55:24.409
but just say, I'm nothing, I'm nothing, I'm nothing.

00:55:24.889 --> 00:55:28.170
I've preached the gospel 47 years, but today

00:55:28.170 --> 00:55:30.769
before preaching the third message, I said it

00:55:30.769 --> 00:55:33.289
again two dozen times, I'm nothing, I'm nothing,

00:55:33.349 --> 00:55:36.070
I'm nothing. This is my pledge with God. I will

00:55:36.070 --> 00:55:38.289
not preach a message until I've said I'm nothing,

00:55:38.530 --> 00:55:41.630
because there is a chance after preaching 47

00:55:41.630 --> 00:55:43.949
years, after preaching to a big congregation,

00:55:44.369 --> 00:55:47.860
after having 600 churches. You could be puffed

00:55:47.860 --> 00:55:49.900
up and you could think that it's me I'm preaching.

00:55:50.300 --> 00:55:54.579
But it's not me anyway. It is the Spirit of God.

00:55:54.880 --> 00:55:58.880
It's God. When I started preaching, you got a

00:55:58.880 --> 00:56:01.380
very big witness. You can ask this man. When

00:56:01.380 --> 00:56:03.539
I came to his church for the first time, I couldn't

00:56:03.539 --> 00:56:06.550
even speak English. They couldn't understand

00:56:06.550 --> 00:56:09.369
me 35 years ago because I'd never been to school

00:56:09.369 --> 00:56:11.769
for a language, so I didn't know English. And

00:56:11.769 --> 00:56:13.769
people used to say, well, it sounded something

00:56:13.769 --> 00:56:17.170
good. We couldn't understand. We couldn't understand,

00:56:17.170 --> 00:56:20.789
you know, a guy who was the poorest in the city

00:56:20.789 --> 00:56:23.949
of Lucknow. I was poorer than a beggar. I lived

00:56:23.949 --> 00:56:29.010
with my whole family on the street. A week before

00:56:29.010 --> 00:56:31.730
I was leaving from India, I got an invitation

00:56:31.730 --> 00:56:35.809
from a guy who is the top preacher and the biggest

00:56:35.809 --> 00:56:38.750
ministry in India. He's a friend of Benny Hinn

00:56:38.750 --> 00:56:43.309
and he said, I have bought a one big floor in

00:56:43.309 --> 00:56:46.489
Jerusalem for prayer center. And that's going

00:56:46.489 --> 00:56:49.699
to be the world prayer center. I have invited

00:56:49.699 --> 00:56:53.679
Benny Hinn to come and do the opening and 150

00:56:53.679 --> 00:56:57.199
people from the world are coming and you are

00:56:57.199 --> 00:56:59.860
one of them. I pay for your coming and going

00:56:59.860 --> 00:57:02.880
fare, your hotel and your food on the 3rd and

00:57:02.880 --> 00:57:06.090
4th of November. I will be there. And there is

00:57:06.090 --> 00:57:10.010
a luncheon. A guy who was so poor, couldn't speak

00:57:10.010 --> 00:57:12.630
a word of English. You know, it's not because

00:57:12.630 --> 00:57:14.869
of my father was a rich man. It's not because

00:57:14.869 --> 00:57:17.550
I am very intelligent and I did it. It's not

00:57:17.550 --> 00:57:20.409
because of my labor or because I worked hard.

00:57:20.670 --> 00:57:24.960
It's because, because... When you give yourself

00:57:24.960 --> 00:57:27.860
in the hand of God, and you humbly say, God,

00:57:27.880 --> 00:57:31.579
do it, He designs you. He makes you, molds you.

00:57:31.719 --> 00:57:34.519
He can change everything. He can turn you and

00:57:34.519 --> 00:57:37.440
make you a king. He can put a crown on your head.

00:57:39.159 --> 00:57:43.780
Father said, give him the ring. What next? Listen

00:57:43.780 --> 00:57:47.800
to this one. This is very good. And sandals on

00:57:47.800 --> 00:57:56.659
his feet. Put on sandals. Anybody putting the

00:57:56.659 --> 00:57:59.300
sandal, number one thing he has to do, he has

00:57:59.300 --> 00:58:05.179
to bow. You are very much unhappy. Nobody ever

00:58:05.179 --> 00:58:08.800
bowed before you. You have to bow before everyone.

00:58:09.719 --> 00:58:12.340
But I want to tell you, you will have servants,

00:58:13.019 --> 00:58:15.179
you will have coats, you have the best of the

00:58:15.179 --> 00:58:17.440
robe, you will have the authority, you will have

00:58:17.440 --> 00:58:21.199
the ring. God will own you. He will marry you.

00:58:21.480 --> 00:58:24.019
And people were bowing before you. They're not

00:58:24.019 --> 00:58:26.000
bowing because you are a great man. It's because

00:58:26.000 --> 00:58:32.539
you repented. Put on the shoe. That's not all.

00:58:32.699 --> 00:58:37.460
Listen to this one. And bring the fatted calf.

00:58:41.360 --> 00:58:44.599
Do you know this story pretty well? You all know

00:58:44.599 --> 00:58:48.099
the story? Do you also know what the other guy

00:58:48.099 --> 00:58:51.239
was saying? The older brother? What was the complaint?

00:58:52.679 --> 00:58:54.400
The complaint was, you never gave me a goat.

00:58:55.159 --> 00:58:57.159
That was the complaint. You never gave me a goat.

00:58:58.119 --> 00:59:00.119
I don't know what group you belong to. Are you

00:59:00.119 --> 00:59:02.579
complaining that you never gave me a goat? I

00:59:02.579 --> 00:59:06.219
never got a hammer. I wanted a hammer. God never

00:59:06.219 --> 00:59:08.920
gave me a hammer. You never gave me a goat. This

00:59:08.920 --> 00:59:10.559
guy was complaining. You never gave me a goat.

00:59:10.639 --> 00:59:13.219
That was a complaint. And if you have this complaint

00:59:13.219 --> 00:59:15.400
that God never gave you respect, God never gave

00:59:15.400 --> 00:59:17.519
you honor, you were never on the pulpit preaching,

00:59:17.760 --> 00:59:19.900
or you never sang a song, or you never made an

00:59:19.900 --> 00:59:21.780
elder, or you never did this thing, you know,

00:59:21.780 --> 00:59:23.679
you have a complaint. This guy had a complaint.

00:59:23.719 --> 00:59:26.039
You never gave me a goat. That guy had a complaint.

00:59:26.059 --> 00:59:28.719
You never gave me a goat. But this guy did not

00:59:28.719 --> 00:59:32.579
only get a goat, but he got calf. Bigger than

00:59:32.579 --> 00:59:42.190
goat! especially even today, especially in India,

00:59:42.550 --> 00:59:46.309
they raise such calf not to sell. That's for

00:59:46.309 --> 00:59:53.150
a party at home. That's for a party, very, very

00:59:53.150 --> 00:59:58.250
unique gift. Fairer calf that's raised at home.

00:59:59.670 --> 01:00:02.590
But God gave us His only begotten Son. He was

01:00:02.590 --> 01:00:06.110
slain for you and for me. What bigger thing you

01:00:06.110 --> 01:00:09.489
will need from God. Because somebody repented.

01:00:09.570 --> 01:00:11.969
Somebody said, I'm sorry, I'm wrong. I should

01:00:11.969 --> 01:00:14.230
not have done it against God. I did against you.

01:00:14.230 --> 01:00:17.250
I left your house. I'm totally wrong. No argument.

01:00:17.730 --> 01:00:22.309
Daddy, no argument. Sister, brother, uncle, aunt,

01:00:22.610 --> 01:00:25.610
no argument. An argument is bad. It'll lead you

01:00:25.610 --> 01:00:28.550
nowhere. You will argue for ages and you will

01:00:28.550 --> 01:00:30.710
never reach anywhere. The best thing is if you

01:00:30.710 --> 01:00:33.130
want God to do a work and put a crown on your

01:00:33.130 --> 01:00:36.369
head and design you, make you, and adorn you.

01:00:37.230 --> 01:00:40.750
Beautify you. Simply say, yes, I did it. I should

01:00:40.750 --> 01:00:44.230
not have done it. I'm sorry. Your humbleness,

01:00:44.530 --> 01:00:47.150
your meekness will make you something. You read

01:00:47.150 --> 01:00:51.070
the last part of 24th verse, last part of 24th

01:00:51.070 --> 01:00:54.210
verse, the last sentence of 24th verse. This

01:00:54.210 --> 01:00:56.510
is the last last sentence. If you want to have

01:00:56.510 --> 01:00:58.730
the sentence in your house, you got to do that.

01:00:58.750 --> 01:01:01.989
Listen to this. He was lost and is found. Last

01:01:01.989 --> 01:01:05.079
sentence. And they began to be married. And they

01:01:05.079 --> 01:01:14.980
began to... If you're like this, where are you

01:01:14.980 --> 01:01:21.579
going to search? Whose car is this? Mine. When

01:01:21.579 --> 01:01:25.179
did you buy it? Yesterday. Oh, that's very good.

01:01:25.400 --> 01:01:29.500
How are you? Good, thank you. People ask you

01:01:29.500 --> 01:01:32.849
to lift up your hand. You can't. Dance? You can't

01:01:32.849 --> 01:01:36.030
dance. You want to dance. You want to have a

01:01:36.030 --> 01:01:39.230
party. God wants you to have a party. Every Christian

01:01:39.230 --> 01:01:41.349
family used to have a party. It's a very important

01:01:41.349 --> 01:01:42.889
thing. Come to India if you don't know how to

01:01:42.889 --> 01:01:46.150
have a party. I'll show you. Party. Party. You

01:01:46.150 --> 01:01:48.269
don't need a lot of food for a party. You don't

01:01:48.269 --> 01:01:50.210
need a lot of money for a party. There are people

01:01:50.210 --> 01:01:53.050
in the church, there are people who have no dinner

01:01:53.050 --> 01:01:55.809
because they had no money. Nobody worked today.

01:01:55.949 --> 01:01:58.650
No dinner. But in the church, they're partying.

01:01:58.929 --> 01:02:00.619
You ask them, what are you partying? Do you have

01:02:00.619 --> 01:02:04.579
a lot of money? No, no food. I know. Ten months,

01:02:04.880 --> 01:02:07.340
food was not cooked in my house. And I used to

01:02:07.340 --> 01:02:09.719
go to the house, I knew knowing no food, I would

01:02:09.719 --> 01:02:12.820
sleep. But I was partying in the church. Partying.

01:02:13.159 --> 01:02:17.760
Partying does not mean money. When your God makes

01:02:17.760 --> 01:02:22.000
you so happy, He puts a crown on your head, and

01:02:22.000 --> 01:02:26.280
He changes your life. And He says, I will beautify

01:02:26.280 --> 01:02:29.940
the meek. And they will party. I'm talking to

01:02:29.940 --> 01:02:32.320
you about party. God will enable you to do party,

01:02:32.579 --> 01:02:34.559
party that you will never think that you will

01:02:34.559 --> 01:02:39.440
do. You'll do it. Hallelujah. You know, good

01:02:39.440 --> 01:02:43.219
thing I am a Christian for last 47 years, but

01:02:43.219 --> 01:02:45.960
the good thing I've enjoyed every part of it.

01:02:46.440 --> 01:02:49.460
Every part of it. When I meet you people, I enjoy

01:02:49.460 --> 01:02:53.679
it. I love it. Hallelujah. Great, because Christian

01:02:53.679 --> 01:02:58.159
life is a party. But this party only starts after

01:02:58.159 --> 01:03:01.099
you say, I've sinned against God and against

01:03:01.099 --> 01:03:04.239
you. I'm not worthy. I don't have any talent.

01:03:04.519 --> 01:03:06.880
When you say I'm not worthy, God gives you so

01:03:06.880 --> 01:03:10.579
much of worthiness. You'll be shocked. How much

01:03:10.579 --> 01:03:13.519
worthiness? I designed my building. I've designed

01:03:13.519 --> 01:03:16.360
100 buildings. I have never been trained as an

01:03:16.360 --> 01:03:20.000
engineer. And people come to me and say, how

01:03:20.000 --> 01:03:22.590
did you design this? Who taught you this? I said,

01:03:22.590 --> 01:03:25.730
I don't know. I said, sorry, God, forgive me.

01:03:25.949 --> 01:03:27.949
And he forgave me. I became a Christian, and

01:03:27.949 --> 01:03:32.449
God, here I am, doing it. I cook for 8 ,000 people.

01:03:32.769 --> 01:03:35.170
I've got my own recipe. I did it. But what did

01:03:35.170 --> 01:03:39.130
it? It's the salvation. You know, salvation,

01:03:39.550 --> 01:03:42.570
accepting that you are nothing is a great experience.

01:03:43.750 --> 01:03:47.010
Oh, I wish I could talk about all these things.

01:03:47.349 --> 01:03:49.730
But you will kick me out if I do that. I don't

01:03:49.730 --> 01:03:54.150
want to be... Go through that. I tell you. I

01:03:54.150 --> 01:03:57.989
tell you. You guys are wonderful. And God is

01:03:57.989 --> 01:04:00.650
designing you and making you into a beautiful

01:04:00.650 --> 01:04:05.210
part. And He's putting the crown on your head.

01:04:05.369 --> 01:04:07.650
You don't have to have all those things that

01:04:07.650 --> 01:04:11.710
people talk about as you are. Simply say, I am

01:04:11.710 --> 01:04:14.809
nothing, God. I cannot do it. But just one more

01:04:14.809 --> 01:04:17.590
example I will give you, and that is Revelation

01:04:17.590 --> 01:04:22.340
3 .20. Revelation 3 .20. It's a very popular

01:04:22.340 --> 01:04:25.539
example. Even if you don't read, you will know

01:04:25.539 --> 01:04:29.760
what it is, but let's read it. It won't be harmful

01:04:29.760 --> 01:04:33.860
if you read once more. You may have done 99 times,

01:04:33.880 --> 01:04:38.019
let it be 100 times now. Behold, I stand at the

01:04:38.019 --> 01:04:41.119
door and knock. Yes. If anyone hears my voice

01:04:41.119 --> 01:04:42.940
and opens the door... You know when you're talking

01:04:42.940 --> 01:04:46.079
to somebody, you know if he's opening the door

01:04:46.079 --> 01:04:52.980
or not. Don't you? People say, but you know,

01:04:52.980 --> 01:04:54.860
but you know, but you know, but you know, but

01:04:54.860 --> 01:04:56.139
you know, but you know, but you know, but you

01:04:56.139 --> 01:04:56.940
know, but you know, but you know, but you know,

01:04:56.940 --> 01:04:57.019
but you know, but you know, but you know, but

01:04:57.019 --> 01:04:57.079
you know, but you know, but you know, but you

01:04:57.079 --> 01:05:00.139
know, but you know, but you know, but you know,

01:05:00.139 --> 01:05:01.139
but you know, but you know, but you know, but

01:05:01.139 --> 01:05:02.280
you know, but you know, but you know, but you

01:05:02.280 --> 01:05:04.420
know, but you know, but you know, but you know,

01:05:04.420 --> 01:05:04.420
but you know, but you know, but you know, but

01:05:04.420 --> 01:05:04.420
you know, but you know, but you know, but you

01:05:04.420 --> 01:05:05.000
know, but you know, but you know, but you know,

01:05:05.000 --> 01:05:05.460
but you know, but you know, but you know, but

01:05:05.460 --> 01:05:05.820
you know, but you know, but you know, but you

01:05:05.820 --> 01:05:06.579
know, but you know, but you know, but you know,

01:05:06.579 --> 01:05:16.260
but you know, but you know, but you know, but

01:05:16.880 --> 01:05:18.579
What is the difference between opening the door

01:05:18.579 --> 01:05:20.860
or not opening the door? You know Peter was in

01:05:20.860 --> 01:05:23.039
the prison. You know that? Peter was in the prison

01:05:23.039 --> 01:05:25.500
and the angels delivered him from the prison.

01:05:25.820 --> 01:05:27.960
So he thought, where should I go? I said, the

01:05:27.960 --> 01:05:30.320
only place that I should go is church. And he

01:05:30.320 --> 01:05:32.300
knew the church will be praying. So if I go to

01:05:32.300 --> 01:05:34.960
the church, church will be very happy and maybe

01:05:34.960 --> 01:05:37.679
we'll have great time and thank the Lord. So

01:05:37.679 --> 01:05:40.340
Peter came to church. Peter came to church and

01:05:40.340 --> 01:05:42.599
the 12th chapter of Acts, Peter comes to church.

01:05:42.920 --> 01:05:44.860
Now Peter came to church and listen to this word

01:05:44.860 --> 01:05:47.019
happening. Peter came to church, 12th chapter

01:05:47.019 --> 01:05:51.010
of Acts, 14th verse. 12th chapter of Acts and

01:05:51.010 --> 01:05:53.849
14th verse. Peter comes to church because he

01:05:53.849 --> 01:05:56.289
knew church will be praying. Church is the only

01:05:56.289 --> 01:05:59.289
place that is not sleeping at this time. They're

01:05:59.289 --> 01:06:01.849
praying. 14th verse. Yeah. When she recognized

01:06:01.849 --> 01:06:04.989
Peter's voice. Immediately she recognized Peter's

01:06:04.989 --> 01:06:08.289
voice. Church recognizes Peter's voice. Okay.

01:06:08.409 --> 01:06:10.190
She recognized Peter's voice. What happened?

01:06:10.489 --> 01:06:12.429
Because of her gladness, she did not open the

01:06:12.429 --> 01:06:15.969
door. Because of the gladness, she didn't open

01:06:15.969 --> 01:06:18.230
the door. That's what happens sometimes. We are

01:06:18.230 --> 01:06:23.610
so glad we kicked Jesus out. We're so glad about

01:06:23.610 --> 01:06:25.809
the Christmas and about the Christmas tree, about

01:06:25.809 --> 01:06:30.670
the Christmas father. We have Christmas father,

01:06:30.989 --> 01:06:32.829
and Christmas tree, and Christmas present, but

01:06:32.829 --> 01:06:36.670
there is no Jesus. She was so glad, and she did

01:06:36.670 --> 01:06:39.929
not open the door to listen to this. Okay. But

01:06:39.929 --> 01:06:43.309
ran in and announced that Peter... Even if you

01:06:43.309 --> 01:06:46.449
can, you can even be a preacher. But don't open

01:06:46.449 --> 01:06:49.190
the door. You don't have to open the door to

01:06:49.190 --> 01:06:51.670
be a preacher. Go and tell everybody Peter has

01:06:51.670 --> 01:06:53.449
come. Peter has come. Peter has come. Peter has

01:06:53.449 --> 01:06:54.789
come. Peter has come. Did you open the door?

01:06:54.789 --> 01:06:57.530
No, I didn't open the door. Peter has come. Peter

01:06:57.530 --> 01:06:59.409
has come. Jesus is the Savior. Have you accepted

01:06:59.409 --> 01:07:02.369
Jesus? No. Jesus is the Savior. A lot of people

01:07:02.369 --> 01:07:05.150
are preaching to others, announcing, but they

01:07:05.150 --> 01:07:06.670
have not accepted Jesus. They have not opened

01:07:06.670 --> 01:07:14.070
the door. Wow. You know, it's a culture. It's

01:07:14.070 --> 01:07:19.349
a job. She went inside and she started announcing

01:07:19.349 --> 01:07:22.349
and didn't open the door, listened to this after

01:07:22.349 --> 01:07:26.309
that. Announced that Peter stood. No, no, no.

01:07:26.429 --> 01:07:29.650
No. Did not open the gate, but ran and announced

01:07:29.650 --> 01:07:32.949
as Peter stood at the gate. And what Peter doing?

01:07:33.050 --> 01:07:36.789
Peter is knocking. She's announcing, I'm telling

01:07:36.789 --> 01:07:39.429
you, Peter's got and she Peter standing. OK,

01:07:39.510 --> 01:07:43.510
what else? But they said to her, are you beside

01:07:43.510 --> 01:07:50.130
yourself? Are you are you crazy? That's why people

01:07:50.130 --> 01:07:52.929
are calling you crazy. What mistake she did?

01:07:53.070 --> 01:07:54.510
She should have opened the door and Peter come

01:07:54.510 --> 01:07:56.769
in, then people have not called you crazy. That's

01:07:56.769 --> 01:07:59.849
why they are called crazy. Yeah, the world will

01:07:59.849 --> 01:08:03.750
call you crazy because Peter is outside. You

01:08:03.750 --> 01:08:06.469
crazy? If anybody's calling you crazy, if you're

01:08:06.469 --> 01:08:08.550
having a very bad time, you know I'm in the ministry

01:08:08.550 --> 01:08:10.670
but I hate it, it's because you didn't open the

01:08:10.670 --> 01:08:15.909
door. If you repent and say, God, I'm nothing,

01:08:16.329 --> 01:08:18.729
I'm nothing, I'm nothing, God, you are everything,

01:08:18.890 --> 01:08:20.529
you are designing me, then you will never have

01:08:20.529 --> 01:08:22.810
a fight and you will not feel the whole world

01:08:22.810 --> 01:08:24.609
is calling you crazy. This is what sometimes

01:08:24.609 --> 01:08:27.289
we face. We think everybody calls us crazy. Listen

01:08:27.289 --> 01:08:30.350
to this after that. Sometimes I'll preach a message

01:08:30.350 --> 01:08:33.350
on this thing. I've done message after message

01:08:33.350 --> 01:08:36.109
on television on this. Listen to this. Yet she

01:08:36.109 --> 01:08:39.310
kept insisting that it was so. She kept insisting,

01:08:39.430 --> 01:08:42.390
Jesus is the savior. I'm telling you, I can give

01:08:42.390 --> 01:08:45.890
example, 19 books, Quran says this thing, Gita

01:08:45.890 --> 01:08:47.909
says this thing, Old Testament says this thing,

01:08:48.310 --> 01:08:53.770
but not open the door. Okay, listen to this one.

01:08:54.529 --> 01:08:59.890
So they said, is it an angel? All these arguments,

01:09:00.930 --> 01:09:06.409
simple thing is open the door. Now say it see

01:09:06.409 --> 01:09:10.649
this thing I'm coming up to the punch line. Okay

01:09:10.649 --> 01:09:15.850
now Peter continued knocking Peter Peter continued

01:09:15.850 --> 01:09:19.069
knocking what's happening is Peter continued

01:09:19.069 --> 01:09:23.350
knocking Don't forget this there's somebody Continuously

01:09:23.350 --> 01:09:27.149
knocking that Sunday what happened? He was knocking

01:09:27.149 --> 01:09:30.829
Radio he was knocking television even knocking

01:09:30.829 --> 01:09:33.470
when you fell down broke your leg. He was knocking

01:09:33.800 --> 01:09:36.680
You had a problem? It was knocking. There this

01:09:36.680 --> 01:09:39.020
thing happened? All knocking. There are different

01:09:39.020 --> 01:09:42.520
ways of knocking. You can knock with my ring.

01:09:42.720 --> 01:09:45.680
You can knock with the pen. You can knock with

01:09:45.680 --> 01:09:47.880
the kick. There are different ways, but they're

01:09:47.880 --> 01:09:51.239
all saying somebody wants you to open the door.

01:09:52.100 --> 01:09:54.779
Somebody wants you to say, sorry, forgive me

01:09:54.779 --> 01:09:57.060
my mistake. I should not have done it. Peter

01:09:57.060 --> 01:09:59.319
continued knocking, but listen to this one. This

01:09:59.319 --> 01:10:03.039
is amazing church. Sorry, forgive me if I'm wrong.

01:10:03.430 --> 01:10:05.590
But this happened. Listen to this. And when they

01:10:05.590 --> 01:10:09.430
opened the door and saw him... No, no, no, no.

01:10:10.989 --> 01:10:15.529
Peter continued knocking. No, some other translation.

01:10:20.109 --> 01:10:25.590
There is one mistake in English and direct. And

01:10:25.590 --> 01:10:32.979
then they opened the window. Original, they open

01:10:32.979 --> 01:10:35.689
the window. Otherwise Peter would have come in.

01:10:35.810 --> 01:10:38.050
They open the window and that's what happened.

01:10:38.210 --> 01:10:40.289
Many times you don't open the door. My Bible

01:10:40.289 --> 01:10:43.649
said they open the window. So that's why Peter

01:10:43.649 --> 01:10:46.409
went to another place. It's okay. You don't open

01:10:46.409 --> 01:10:48.729
the door. Jesus will never come through the window.

01:10:48.890 --> 01:10:51.909
He cannot. You have to open the door. And there

01:10:51.909 --> 01:10:54.069
is a difference between opening the window and

01:10:54.069 --> 01:10:56.590
opening the door. Opening the window is, oh good,

01:10:56.649 --> 01:10:59.869
message, good, wonderful. That's how I like it.

01:10:59.909 --> 01:11:03.710
But opening the door is, I'm sorry God, forgive

01:11:03.710 --> 01:11:11.930
me. me. I have done wrong. I am sorry. He will

01:11:11.930 --> 01:11:14.890
beautify the meek with salvation. He's about

01:11:14.890 --> 01:11:17.149
to beautify you and your family, but he only

01:11:17.149 --> 01:11:20.729
requires one ingredient. He wants to make you

01:11:20.729 --> 01:11:24.609
beautiful and that's humbleness, eekness. Open

01:11:24.609 --> 01:11:27.390
the door and then what will happen? He said,

01:11:27.409 --> 01:11:31.109
you open the door, then I will come in. I will

01:11:31.109 --> 01:11:34.869
come in. He didn't say I will send Gabriel I

01:11:34.869 --> 01:11:37.350
will come in and I will sit with you and you'll

01:11:37.350 --> 01:11:39.369
sit with me I will eat with you and you will

01:11:39.369 --> 01:11:41.510
eat because what is this? This is designing your

01:11:41.510 --> 01:11:43.550
life Who's sitting with you King of King and

01:11:43.550 --> 01:11:45.210
the Lord of Law sitting with me at the table?

01:11:45.229 --> 01:11:47.649
And you will have no problem. This is what God

01:11:47.649 --> 01:11:51.069
is designing for you and for me shall we pray?

01:11:51.590 --> 01:11:56.829
Shall we pray? Does anybody will say brother

01:11:56.829 --> 01:11:59.409
Tony pray for me. I want him to design my life

01:12:00.190 --> 01:12:03.010
I'm sorry I have never opened the door. I've

01:12:03.010 --> 01:12:05.510
opened the window all the time. I'm going to

01:12:05.510 --> 01:12:07.890
pray for you. Just lift up your hand. If you

01:12:07.890 --> 01:12:09.729

I will not argue. Father, I thank you for our

01:12:34.340 --> 01:12:38.380
time. I thank you for your word. Father, I ask

01:12:38.380 --> 01:12:41.840
you to stretch forth your hand and shake us,

01:12:42.180 --> 01:12:44.659
Lord. Bring us to a place where we'll say, I'm

01:12:44.659 --> 01:12:48.899
sorry. I have sinned against God and heaven and

01:12:48.899 --> 01:12:53.140
you. I'm not worthy. You design us, Lord, after

01:12:53.140 --> 01:12:55.859
our repentance. Make us meek and humble, Lord.

01:12:56.359 --> 01:12:59.510
Crown us with your crown from heaven. For we

01:12:59.510 --> 01:13:03.130
look at you and ask Everything in your name.

01:13:03.229 --> 01:13:07.710
