WEBVTT 00:00:17.710 --> 00:00:23.530 Thank you for your warmth, your love, and your 00:00:23.530 --> 00:00:27.030 prayers. I appreciate each one of you very much. 00:00:27.850 --> 00:00:31.370 I often feel like I'm a missionary sent to India 00:00:31.370 --> 00:00:35.070 from this church. And I come back every year 00:00:35.070 --> 00:00:37.649 with the report as to what the Lord is doing. 00:00:38.210 --> 00:00:43.869 I think I'm on a furlough. I have all good news 00:00:43.869 --> 00:00:46.530 for you. I'm not here to tell you what the devil 00:00:46.530 --> 00:00:49.020 is doing in India. But I'm here to tell you what 00:00:49.020 --> 00:00:51.579 the Lord is doing in India. And let me tell you, 00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:54.780 the Lord is doing great things in India. Great 00:00:54.780 --> 00:00:57.759 things are happening. Greater than ever before. 00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:01.740 I've been a Christian more than 45 years. I accepted 00:01:01.740 --> 00:01:06.659 the Lord in the year 1965 -66. Why I'm saying 00:01:06.659 --> 00:01:10.500 1965 -66? Because I don't know if it was 65 or 00:01:10.500 --> 00:01:14.790 66. Well, you can say, well, it is such an important 00:01:14.790 --> 00:01:17.430 date you forgot. No, I haven't forgotten. I didn't 00:01:17.430 --> 00:01:22.769 have a watch. Did you understand this? No, maybe 00:01:22.769 --> 00:01:25.989 not, because it happened in the night of 31st 00:01:25.989 --> 00:01:29.049 December. We were having a watch night service. 00:01:29.430 --> 00:01:32.290 If it happened before 12 o 'clock, it was 65. 00:01:32.730 --> 00:01:36.069 If it happened after 12 o 'clock, it was 1966. 00:01:36.939 --> 00:01:39.120 and because I didn't have a watch so I can't 00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:43.780 tell what time it was but we've been praying 00:01:43.780 --> 00:01:50.379 for these days for all these years and now these 00:01:50.379 --> 00:01:53.739 days have come that God has opened all the doors 00:01:53.739 --> 00:01:57.680 in India and people are more hungry today than 00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:01.980 ever before and we are enjoying cutting the harvest 00:02:01.980 --> 00:02:07.799 exactly like Mark enjoys reaping the harvest 00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:12.360 and I enjoy seeing them how happy they are. They 00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:16.639 work 16 hours or 18 hours because they are so 00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:21.879 happy that they are harvesting and every time 00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:25.479 they bring in, they weigh the truck and they 00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:29.539 say this time more yields are better and it makes 00:02:29.539 --> 00:02:32.580 them very happy. Not them, but me very happy 00:02:32.580 --> 00:02:38.180 also. This is what Adam says. Adam said, if we 00:02:38.180 --> 00:02:46.159 win, you win. So, we don't pray that much all 00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:48.340 through the year as we pray in the harvest time. 00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:53.400 your harvest time. And I tell you, it is a real 00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:56.939 harvest time in India, a spiritual harvest. And 00:02:56.939 --> 00:03:00.240 we are happy to see great things. I wish I can 00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:02.560 share all those things that are happening in 00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:07.199 India. Amazing things are happening. We saw people 00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:11.479 coming to the Lord before, but not like this. 00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:18.039 We are baptizing more than a thousand Hindu people 00:03:18.270 --> 00:03:22.870 in one year from first of January to 31st December, 00:03:22.990 --> 00:03:25.830 only in one baptism tank that is in Lucknow. 00:03:26.509 --> 00:03:30.270 And every alternate Sunday is a baptism Sunday 00:03:30.270 --> 00:03:37.000 and we have. more than 50 ABC churches in Lucknow 00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:40.259 zone, so after the morning service on Sunday, 00:03:40.740 --> 00:03:43.240 they all bring their members who want to take 00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:46.620 water baptism, and most of them are Hindu and 00:03:46.620 --> 00:03:50.180 Muslim people, and we baptize them after the 00:03:50.180 --> 00:03:52.960 service, after the service of the main church, 00:03:53.419 --> 00:03:55.460 different pastors will go in the baptism time 00:03:55.460 --> 00:04:00.259 and they baptize their members, and then they 00:04:00.259 --> 00:04:02.740 will come out and the other pastors will go and 00:04:02.740 --> 00:04:05.759 sometimes we have this go on for three hours. 00:04:07.099 --> 00:04:11.879 I remember one baptism service when we had 138 00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:18.060 baptisms and it's amazing to see what the Lord 00:04:18.060 --> 00:04:20.980 is doing in India but we need your continuous 00:04:20.980 --> 00:04:26.779 prayer for this and we appreciate people from 00:04:26.779 --> 00:04:31.180 this church coming to India. to bless us in different 00:04:31.180 --> 00:04:37.560 area of our life. We had Pastor Brad and the 00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:41.439 team this year who came in the pastor's conference 00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:47.079 and we had amazing pastor's conference. And Pastor 00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:52.100 Jan Venture also came with them and we enjoyed 00:04:52.100 --> 00:04:55.360 a great time. Thank you very much for sending 00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:59.519 all of them and don't let these muckers cease 00:05:00.100 --> 00:05:04.199 from coming to India. And I think they have been 00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:06.920 designed for India. They have been designed for 00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:13.500 India. And, you know, Adam was telling me if 00:05:13.500 --> 00:05:17.279 he works anywhere, the only condition will be 00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:22.259 if he gets to go to India once a year. So, anywhere, 00:05:22.779 --> 00:05:27.509 anything he does, I'm praying for this. Mark 00:05:27.509 --> 00:05:30.209 said to me yesterday, he said if I don't come 00:05:30.209 --> 00:05:33.069 next year, just send you the money. I said, they 00:05:33.069 --> 00:05:36.610 will come and beat you here if you don't come. 00:05:38.810 --> 00:05:42.910 Already we have seen great things happen in India 00:05:42.910 --> 00:05:50.949 by what you guys have imparted in India. Alton 00:05:50.949 --> 00:05:55.569 was there with his son to India this year. And 00:05:55.569 --> 00:06:00.910 we saw the excitement in young children and excitement 00:06:00.910 --> 00:06:04.329 in Sunday school teachers. Great excitement. 00:06:05.430 --> 00:06:08.529 And we did Sunday school all these years, but 00:06:08.529 --> 00:06:10.649 we never did Sunday school with the puppets. 00:06:11.069 --> 00:06:14.350 And so, last to last time when they were there, 00:06:14.730 --> 00:06:17.589 they took some puppets and they introduced. Now 00:06:17.589 --> 00:06:19.829 we have started buying our own puppets, you know, 00:06:19.889 --> 00:06:22.529 or making our own puppets. And everybody all 00:06:22.529 --> 00:06:25.389 over India is showing puppets, you know. And 00:06:25.389 --> 00:06:32.970 it's amazing to see how you can affect the nation, 00:06:33.170 --> 00:06:39.459 you know, impart things. When first time... Mark 00:06:39.459 --> 00:06:45.319 came to India in 1993 and they had brought a 00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:48.600 team and they were playing instruments, especially 00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:51.480 guitar. Young children will watch guitar like 00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:55.939 this. I mean, not anybody knew how to play guitar 00:06:55.939 --> 00:07:01.019 and they were just glued to their guitars. But 00:07:01.019 --> 00:07:10.199 what a great impact. Today, not dozens, But, 00:07:10.980 --> 00:07:12.800 thousands of people are playing guitar in India. 00:07:14.180 --> 00:07:16.339 At least, I will say, a couple thousand people 00:07:16.339 --> 00:07:20.060 are playing guitar all over India. I mean, in 00:07:20.060 --> 00:07:22.980 my church, small children, two years, three years, 00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:25.540 everyone had bought the guitar. They don't know, 00:07:25.660 --> 00:07:28.779 but like a professional guitarist, they go like 00:07:28.779 --> 00:07:36.519 this. Everywhere, guitarist. Thank you very much 00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:42.740 for doing this. God has joined us together. It's 00:07:42.740 --> 00:07:47.839 not only one way traffic, it's both sides. I'm 00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:51.160 willing to come here and do anything that can 00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:56.779 bless you. Sweep the floor or cook the food. 00:07:57.379 --> 00:08:03.230 Yeah, that's what I can do. I feel so connected 00:08:03.230 --> 00:08:06.970 with you guys. And I'm not an itinerant preacher 00:08:06.970 --> 00:08:10.350 now. I am a part of this family. And you are 00:08:10.350 --> 00:08:14.790 part of our family.

I was very excited. 00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:53.259 And I was very poor, so I was working in a house 00:11:53.259 --> 00:11:56.139 as a servant, small child, children, you know, 00:11:56.259 --> 00:12:00.899 help, babysitting or go to the market and buy 00:12:00.899 --> 00:12:03.870 some grocery and all that.

Oh, I feel so privileged that God 00:14:31.850 --> 00:14:35.690 has given me this opportunity to talk to you 00:14:35.690 --> 00:14:38.350 about him. And you know, every time you talk 00:14:38.350 --> 00:14:40.629 about him, count yourself privileged because 00:14:40.629 --> 00:14:42.929 you're ambassador. You're not ambassador from 00:14:42.929 --> 00:14:45.350 America, you're not ambassador from India, but 00:14:45.350 --> 00:14:48.419 you're ambassador of heaven. ambassador of heaven. 00:14:48.740 --> 00:14:52.200 And you are representing heaven wherever you 00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:55.860 go. You're representing Jesus and his kingdom, 00:14:56.039 --> 00:14:58.759 which is the largest kingdom and biggest kingdom. 00:14:59.139 --> 00:15:01.700 Every other kingdom is under that kingdom. Hallelujah. 00:15:02.059 --> 00:15:03.919 He's the king of king and the Lord of lords. 00:15:04.059 --> 00:15:07.399 Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. Hallelujah. I want 00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:11.820 you to turn with me in the key scripture that 00:15:11.820 --> 00:15:19.179 is Hebrews 11 chapter 27th verse, and this is 00:15:19.179 --> 00:15:22.899 going to be my key scripture for this morning's 00:15:22.899 --> 00:15:25.299 message. If you remember the key scripture, you 00:15:25.299 --> 00:15:29.559 will remember my message all your life. And this 00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:35.399 27th verse of Hebrew 11, I've asked Mark to read 00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:38.159 my references, reads like this, listen to this. 00:15:41.580 --> 00:15:53.570 Is he turned on? Test by faith he forsook Egypt 00:15:53.570 --> 00:15:56.789 not fearing the wrath of the king for he endured 00:15:56.789 --> 00:16:00.019 seeing him who is invisible. Now this is written 00:16:00.019 --> 00:16:02.940 about Moses, and you know the life of Moses, 00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:08.000 what he was going through. Now this guy was educated 00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:11.799 and raised in a very big palace, you know. He 00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:14.840 had all the facilities available, but when he 00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:18.720 started serving God, he sort of had to go through 00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:22.480 rough times of his life, you know. At times people 00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:24.799 used to have the stones in their hand, and they 00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:27.440 come to Moses, they said, we'll kill you. you 00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:30.720 know, they're talking blah, blah. Even sometimes 00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:34.340 his own sister talking against him. His own brother 00:16:34.340 --> 00:16:37.600 started talking against him. You know, the Bible 00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:41.460 tells us there was something because of which 00:16:41.460 --> 00:16:45.039 he was able to endure everything. And he continued 00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:48.299 to go with God. He never said, I give up. No, 00:16:48.299 --> 00:16:50.960 I'm not going to take these people to Canaan. 00:16:51.179 --> 00:16:53.779 I'm not going to be their leader. God, give it 00:16:53.779 --> 00:16:55.500 to somebody else. I'm sick and tired of these 00:16:55.500 --> 00:16:59.769 people. No. He went strong, and the key, many 00:16:59.769 --> 00:17:02.690 times, you and I feel like that, you know, Christian 00:17:02.690 --> 00:17:04.569 life, I thought it was going to be a very marvelous 00:17:04.569 --> 00:17:07.309 Christian life, but you know, people talk about 00:17:07.309 --> 00:17:10.609 me, you know, they ridicule me, and it's very 00:17:10.609 --> 00:17:15.230 rough and tough road, and often, we wonder what 00:17:15.230 --> 00:17:19.990 we should do to be encouraged, and here, the 00:17:19.990 --> 00:17:22.250 key that I'm going to talk to you this morning 00:17:22.250 --> 00:17:28.670 is Moses endured. What was the key that he endured? 00:17:29.230 --> 00:17:32.490 His endurance, there is a key to his endurance. 00:17:32.730 --> 00:17:35.470 Bible tells us he endured or the other word, 00:17:35.789 --> 00:17:41.170 he persevered or the other word, he was steadfast. 00:17:41.660 --> 00:17:47.599 No discouragement, no drifting and no disheartment. 00:17:48.059 --> 00:17:53.039 He was encouraged and he continued to go with 00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:57.279 God. Something has happened there. He said he 00:17:57.279 --> 00:18:05.650 saw that was not seen. He did not only see. We 00:18:05.650 --> 00:18:09.049 only see things that are seen. We've got a car 00:18:09.049 --> 00:18:11.950 standing in front of me, so I know about a car, 00:18:12.150 --> 00:18:16.210 that's all. And we see our house, that's all. 00:18:16.529 --> 00:18:20.990 But many times, God wants us to see the things 00:18:20.990 --> 00:18:24.230 that are not seen, unseen things. And you know, 00:18:24.289 --> 00:18:27.329 when you go in God, don't only see the things 00:18:27.329 --> 00:18:30.190 that people see, but you see the things nobody 00:18:30.190 --> 00:18:34.089 sees. Because of faith and because of God, because 00:18:34.089 --> 00:18:37.009 you're walking in God, you see the things that 00:18:37.009 --> 00:18:40.380 nobody sees. Now this is amazing, Brother Tony, 00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:44.559 how would I see things that are not seen? This 00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:47.839 is what Jesus said in the New Testament and he 00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:51.519 was talking to Pharisees and he said, I have 00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:56.119 come so that all those people who have eyes may 00:18:56.119 --> 00:19:02.099 become blind. And he said, but all those people 00:19:02.099 --> 00:19:09.190 who want to see, Their eyes will be opened, but 00:19:09.190 --> 00:19:11.930 he said one thing if you want your eyes to be 00:19:11.930 --> 00:19:15.089 open to see the things He said those who are 00:19:15.089 --> 00:19:19.930 blind will see So in order to see things that 00:19:19.930 --> 00:19:23.390 Jesus wanted to see and those Pharisees they 00:19:23.390 --> 00:19:28.630 said what do you mean? Are we blind? Then you 00:19:28.630 --> 00:19:30.890 want to give me side is that you are not blind 00:19:30.890 --> 00:19:34.130 they said no way he said okay, then you'll stay 00:19:34.130 --> 00:19:37.869 blind Because you're not blind and he said you 00:19:37.869 --> 00:19:41.509 know what he said he said your sin remains Your 00:19:41.509 --> 00:19:44.450 sin remains so that means what he was saying 00:19:44.450 --> 00:19:46.910 Listen to what he was he was saying if you want 00:19:46.910 --> 00:19:49.529 your eyes to be opened if you want to see the 00:19:49.529 --> 00:19:52.190 things of the Lord You have to say God. I'm blind 00:19:52.190 --> 00:19:56.589 Have you ever said God I'm blind have you ever 00:19:56.589 --> 00:19:59.869 said God I'm undone Have you ever said, God, 00:19:59.869 --> 00:20:02.869 I'm a sinner? Have you ever said, God, I've done 00:20:02.869 --> 00:20:04.750 things that I should not have done? When you 00:20:04.750 --> 00:20:07.349 accept your sins, when you accept that you are 00:20:07.349 --> 00:20:10.230 a wrong man, when you accept that you have forsaken 00:20:10.230 --> 00:20:12.910 God, then that is the time God opens your eyes. 00:20:13.109 --> 00:20:15.410 What eyes? The eyes that will be able to see 00:20:15.410 --> 00:20:17.569 things that people will not see. And you will 00:20:17.569 --> 00:20:19.809 have this in your life that you will be able 00:20:19.809 --> 00:20:22.150 to see things. And your brothers and sisters 00:20:22.150 --> 00:20:24.950 and uncles and aunts and people around you who 00:20:24.950 --> 00:20:26.829 do not know the Lord, they will say, where is 00:20:26.829 --> 00:20:29.809 it? I can't see. I can see, I can see, I can 00:20:29.809 --> 00:20:32.430 see. You will say, I cannot see. But you know, 00:20:32.430 --> 00:20:34.990 there was a time when I started a church and 00:20:34.990 --> 00:20:37.509 I remember a lady came to me, Tony, what are 00:20:37.509 --> 00:20:40.089 you trying to do? You're trying to raise a church 00:20:40.089 --> 00:20:43.509 in Lucknow? Nothing grows here. Don't waste your 00:20:43.509 --> 00:20:45.609 time. Go somewhere else. Nothing will happen 00:20:45.609 --> 00:20:48.390 there. I said, no, but there's gonna be a big 00:20:48.390 --> 00:20:50.849 church? There's gonna be a big church? 10 years 00:20:50.849 --> 00:20:53.569 we worked hard not one person came to the Lord 00:20:53.569 --> 00:20:56.509 10 years not one person came to the Lord and 00:20:56.509 --> 00:20:58.829 not one church was established and people come 00:20:58.829 --> 00:21:01.390 to me they said nothing will grow here I used 00:21:01.390 --> 00:21:03.750 to go to Kanpur and these people in Kanpur said 00:21:03.750 --> 00:21:05.589 what are you trying you're wasting your time 00:21:05.589 --> 00:21:07.569 nothing will happen but you know what happened 00:21:07.569 --> 00:21:11.880 I I didn't say that, well, it will happen. I 00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:15.240 saw with my eyes, you know, I saw with my eyes 00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:17.900 hundreds of churches all over. I saw thousands 00:21:17.900 --> 00:21:20.180 and thousands of people coming to the Lord, and 00:21:20.180 --> 00:21:24.960 because I saw, we have it there. We have it there. 00:21:25.339 --> 00:21:28.099 Every church is, you know, growing. The Kanpur 00:21:28.099 --> 00:21:32.720 that we had very hard time, a guy came to me 00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:36.119 and he said, 100 people at least I know who came 00:21:36.119 --> 00:21:38.519 to Kanpur city and tried to raise the church 00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:41.880 and nobody could raise the church. Today we have 00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:46.220 a church in Kanpur that we started about 25 years 00:21:46.220 --> 00:21:49.019 ago. This year we are celebrating a silver Jubilee 00:21:49.019 --> 00:21:56.700 and the church has planted 71 churches. We have 00:21:56.700 --> 00:22:00.279 a congregation of more than 6 ,000 people in 00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:02.740 Kampur, Hallelujah. And we are believing the 00:22:02.740 --> 00:22:07.250 Lord for 500 churches in Kampur. But you know, 00:22:07.569 --> 00:22:10.390 you will have those things, and you'll be steadfast, 00:22:10.609 --> 00:22:12.609 and you'll not be discouraged, and you'll be 00:22:12.609 --> 00:22:14.349 encouraged. When you go to a church, there are 00:22:14.349 --> 00:22:16.730 only five people there, and you'll be encouraged. 00:22:16.910 --> 00:22:20.029 Why? You don't see five people, you see 500 sitting 00:22:20.029 --> 00:22:22.549 there. You can see things nobody else can see, 00:22:22.670 --> 00:22:24.829 you know. When nothing is happening, you can 00:22:24.829 --> 00:22:27.329 see things happening, because you have prayed 00:22:27.329 --> 00:22:29.569 to God, God, I'm a sinner, and God has opened 00:22:29.569 --> 00:22:31.789 your eyes, and that's what happened with Moses. 00:22:32.029 --> 00:22:37.140 Moses was able to see that was unseen. important 00:22:37.140 --> 00:22:39.799 to see the unseen things and you know I will 00:22:39.799 --> 00:22:42.299 take you to an example and I will ask you to 00:22:42.299 --> 00:22:46.960 read Luke's gospel 23rd chapter 42nd verse Luke's 00:22:46.960 --> 00:22:50.400 gospel 23rd chapter 42nd verse listen to this 00:22:50.400 --> 00:22:53.180 one and he said to Jesus Lord remember me when 00:22:53.180 --> 00:22:56.000 you come into your kingdom everybody's ridiculing 00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:59.759 him Everybody's ridiculing him. Everybody's saying, 00:22:59.960 --> 00:23:03.619 you blasphemer. You said that you will give me 00:23:03.619 --> 00:23:06.940 a new life and you are hanging on the cross and 00:23:06.940 --> 00:23:10.779 dying. And everybody was against him. Even the 00:23:10.779 --> 00:23:12.880 other thief he was saying, if you are the son 00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:18.440 of God, come down from the cross. But this thief 00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:23.920 who's been a bad man, he said, hey, you're not 00:23:23.920 --> 00:23:27.079 an ordinary man. You're a king. You're a king. 00:23:27.619 --> 00:23:32.180 You're a king. Today these people see the thorns 00:23:32.180 --> 00:23:34.440 on your head. I can see a crown on your head. 00:23:35.279 --> 00:23:38.460 I can see you walking on the gold. I can see 00:23:38.460 --> 00:23:41.900 you. Everything is bowing before you. Why was 00:23:41.900 --> 00:23:47.069 this thief who spent his... Whole life, in bad 00:23:47.069 --> 00:23:50.089 doing, he was able to see Jesus Christ as a king. 00:23:50.450 --> 00:23:54.250 He said, you are a king, and I salute you. I 00:23:54.250 --> 00:23:57.289 respect you and honor you. Could you please take 00:23:57.289 --> 00:24:00.250 me in your kingdom? I want to be in your kingdom. 00:24:00.609 --> 00:24:04.509 Instead of ridiculing, this guy was able to see 00:24:04.509 --> 00:24:07.769 Jesus as a king. Why were other people not able 00:24:07.769 --> 00:24:11.690 to see Jesus as king? Why was he able to see 00:24:11.690 --> 00:24:14.289 Jesus as a king? You want to see that? Read verse 00:24:14.289 --> 00:24:18.039 41. Verse 41, this is the reason why he was able 00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:20.420 to see Jesus Christ as a king. You want to see 00:24:20.420 --> 00:24:22.299 him as a king? You don't want to ridicule? You 00:24:22.299 --> 00:24:24.339 want to understand every principle of the word 00:24:24.339 --> 00:24:26.880 of God and understand the word of God? You need 00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:28.940 to do this thing. What did he do? Listen to this. 00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:32.380 And we indeed justly, for we receive due reward 00:24:32.380 --> 00:24:37.119 for our deeds. This man first time, he said, 00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:40.420 whatever is happening to us, it's a just thing. 00:24:40.569 --> 00:24:43.630 We have done wrong things. We have looted the 00:24:43.630 --> 00:24:46.309 houses. We have killed people. We were undone 00:24:46.309 --> 00:24:48.630 people. This is right. This should have happened. 00:24:48.890 --> 00:24:52.809 We are sinners. Very few people accept that this 00:24:52.809 --> 00:24:56.950 is my fault. And you go to court. Even if you're 00:24:56.950 --> 00:25:00.930 caught red handed, still you spend money and 00:25:00.930 --> 00:25:03.230 have an attorney and attorney will fight for 00:25:03.230 --> 00:25:08.140 you. No sir, he didn't do it. And he spent his 00:25:08.140 --> 00:25:10.980 life in saying this, I didn't do it, it's not 00:25:10.980 --> 00:25:15.099 my fault, I was not there, maybe somebody else, 00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:17.720 but first time he has come to a place and said, 00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:22.359 I did it, my fault, my mistake. We should not 00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:24.740 have done all those things. We did everything 00:25:24.740 --> 00:25:29.220 wrong, we are justly punished. There is a fight 00:25:29.220 --> 00:25:32.180 going on between husband and wife, fight is going 00:25:32.180 --> 00:25:34.359 on, it's not my mistake. She says, it's not my 00:25:34.359 --> 00:25:37.119 mistake. I didn't do it, he said, I didn't do 00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:40.720 it. Two people in India, they were driving a 00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:42.779 motorcycle, and they collided in each other. 00:25:44.039 --> 00:25:46.839 And the one person says, I was going on the left 00:25:46.839 --> 00:25:49.339 -hand side, because they drive on the left -hand 00:25:49.339 --> 00:25:51.240 side. The other one says, no, I was going on 00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:54.140 the left -hand side. And I want to ask them, 00:25:54.279 --> 00:25:55.940 if you were going on the left -hand side, and 00:25:55.940 --> 00:25:57.400 you were going on the left -hand side, how did 00:25:57.400 --> 00:26:02.420 you collide in each other? Nobody wants to accept 00:26:02.420 --> 00:26:06.109 that I was wrong. From the childhood, you know, 00:26:06.170 --> 00:26:08.470 when you do things, you break a cup and mother 00:26:08.470 --> 00:26:11.839 comes, you say, no, I didn't do it. I didn't 00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:13.619 do it. From the very childhood when you're three 00:26:13.619 --> 00:26:15.880 years old, you hide your mistake, but this man 00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:18.220 has come to a place where he's saying, I have 00:26:18.220 --> 00:26:20.839 done mistakes. I'm wrong. I should not have done 00:26:20.839 --> 00:26:22.940 this. And because he's doing this thing, he's 00:26:22.940 --> 00:26:26.019 able to see Jesus Christ not as the one who's 00:26:26.019 --> 00:26:28.880 crucified on the cross, but he sees Jesus Christ 00:26:28.880 --> 00:26:32.319 as a king. Say, you are a king. You have a kingdom. 00:26:32.779 --> 00:26:36.319 Jesus, I want to be remembered by you in your 00:26:36.319 --> 00:26:41.900 kingdom. Folks. things become different your 00:26:41.900 --> 00:26:45.480 road that is very narrow and very bad becomes 00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:49.619 good and instead of Sorrows you start rejoicing. 00:26:49.619 --> 00:26:53.160 He said I'm good. I am a Christian I like this 00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:56.279 song. I like this word. I like my church. I like 00:26:56.279 --> 00:26:59.400 to be ridiculed by people I like to be mocked 00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:01.940 by people when people don't invite me in their 00:27:01.940 --> 00:27:05.480 function Oh, I have no problem because you know 00:27:05.480 --> 00:27:07.759 what because you can see something else you can 00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:10.869 see angels walking You can see Jesus with you. 00:27:11.069 --> 00:27:13.829 You can see the hand of God upon you. It's important 00:27:13.829 --> 00:27:20.049 for everyone who wants to be steadfasting and 00:27:20.049 --> 00:27:24.490 endure hardship needs to see things that nobody 00:27:24.490 --> 00:27:30.109 sees. Do you see it? People say, but when will 00:27:30.109 --> 00:27:36.990 I get it? You only talk from the pulpit. You 00:27:36.990 --> 00:27:39.910 come to me in my house and pray, God bless him, 00:27:40.089 --> 00:27:42.789 give him this big business and joy, but when 00:27:42.789 --> 00:27:46.349 will I get it? You know what? The principle of 00:27:46.349 --> 00:27:48.109 the word of God is you believe and you have it. 00:27:49.289 --> 00:27:51.289 The principle of the word of God is not you have 00:27:51.289 --> 00:27:55.329 it and you believe it. A lot of people say to 00:27:55.329 --> 00:27:58.809 me, if God gives me a million dollar, I'll give 00:27:58.809 --> 00:28:06.349 him 100 ,000. I tell them, you give 100 dollars 00:28:06.349 --> 00:28:09.450 and he'll give you a million dollars. They say, 00:28:09.529 --> 00:28:12.170 no, if God gives me, some people even say, God, 00:28:12.250 --> 00:28:14.289 you want to give me a million dollar? Take 100 00:28:14.289 --> 00:28:19.390 ,000, just give me 900 ,000. But God wants you 00:28:19.390 --> 00:28:22.839 to believe that you got the 100 ,000. Now I will 00:28:22.839 --> 00:28:25.099 take your place now listen to this one This is 00:28:25.099 --> 00:28:27.359 a very important place and let me take you to 00:28:27.359 --> 00:28:31.759 this this place and show you that is Mark's gospel 00:28:31.759 --> 00:28:38.480 and fifth chapter a lady decides that she's going 00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:41.980 to a convention a convention of Jesus Christ 00:28:41.980 --> 00:28:46.980 and This lady is in very bad shape This lady 00:28:46.980 --> 00:28:50.119 can't even walk This lady has had a very bad 00:28:50.119 --> 00:28:54.500 time, and doctors have all taken all the money, 00:28:54.819 --> 00:28:59.019 and she's worse than before. And the lady decides 00:28:59.019 --> 00:29:01.359 that she's going to go to Jesus' convention. 00:29:02.019 --> 00:29:04.420 And her son says, Mom, what are you talking about? 00:29:05.059 --> 00:29:07.140 There are 10 ,000 people around Jesus Christ, 00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:09.500 and you can't even go to your bathroom, and you 00:29:09.500 --> 00:29:12.579 want to attend that convention? And moreover, 00:29:12.599 --> 00:29:15.000 you don't have the front seat. How would you 00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:17.660 go? There's so many people and there are so rough 00:29:17.660 --> 00:29:21.480 people there. She said, no, I'm going to go there. 00:29:22.259 --> 00:29:25.319 But mother, they will crush you and they'll walk 00:29:25.319 --> 00:29:31.519 on you. They will kill you. No, no, no. She sees 00:29:31.519 --> 00:29:33.980 something else. And she said this thing, you 00:29:33.980 --> 00:29:37.660 know, listen to this 27 verse, 27 verse. When 00:29:37.660 --> 00:29:40.359 she heard about Jesus, she came. behind him in 00:29:40.359 --> 00:29:44.519 the crowd and touched his garment yes for she 00:29:44.519 --> 00:29:48.680 said for she said if only i may touch his clothes 00:29:48.680 --> 00:29:51.640 she was when she was walking she was seeing what 00:29:51.640 --> 00:29:56.339 i'm touching the hem of his garment and i am 00:29:56.339 --> 00:30:00.059 i'm healed now and she seen herself jumping and 00:30:00.059 --> 00:30:03.299 leaping and praising god what do you see a lot 00:30:03.299 --> 00:30:08.680 of times we see ourselves crushed We see ourselves 00:30:08.680 --> 00:30:12.539 kicked out. What if they don't accept me? Lot 00:30:12.539 --> 00:30:15.599 of people don't go to anybody to share the gospel 00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:17.940 because this is what they see, they will not 00:30:17.940 --> 00:30:21.359 receive it. They will kick me out. They will 00:30:21.359 --> 00:30:24.519 ridicule me. There's no good going there. So 00:30:24.519 --> 00:30:32.200 they don't go. What? See that they will receive 00:30:32.200 --> 00:30:38.470 you. They will start crying. See that they're 00:30:38.470 --> 00:30:42.029 saying oh, please tell me about Jesus See that 00:30:42.029 --> 00:30:45.150 they were coming to church See that they are 00:30:45.150 --> 00:30:47.890 ready for water baptism. See that the Holy Spirit 00:30:47.890 --> 00:30:52.849 coming on them Nobody else sees this You would 00:30:52.849 --> 00:30:54.829 be very discouraged if you want to serve the 00:30:54.829 --> 00:30:56.890 Lord if you don't see those things that are not 00:30:56.890 --> 00:30:59.059 happening If you only see the things that are 00:30:59.059 --> 00:31:01.279 happening, then the whole world is ridiculing 00:31:01.279 --> 00:31:03.319 Jesus Christ. But you see those things that are 00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:05.619 not happening. When you see those things that 00:31:05.619 --> 00:31:07.380 are not happening, but then start happening. 00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:09.680 They start happening. They start happening because 00:31:09.680 --> 00:31:12.380 you see. Because of you seeing, they start happening. 00:31:12.599 --> 00:31:15.319 And what happens moreover, when you start seeing 00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:17.920 things that are not happening, then you start 00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:22.920 becoming very encouraged in God. And when you 00:31:22.920 --> 00:31:25.000 talk about God, a lot of people talk about God 00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:28.890 because they, because they only see what's happening. 00:31:29.170 --> 00:31:31.849 And they go to a congregation or a crowd and 00:31:31.849 --> 00:31:34.750 they know everybody's laughing at them. And they 00:31:34.750 --> 00:31:41.329 go to them and they say, I don't know how you 00:31:41.329 --> 00:31:44.650 feel about Jesus, you know, but don't mind, you 00:31:44.650 --> 00:31:49.809 know, I'm just inviting you to my, don't take 00:31:49.809 --> 00:31:53.009 me wrong, you know, my church that I, you don't 00:31:53.009 --> 00:31:56.619 want to come, come, don't come. Because we see 00:31:56.619 --> 00:31:59.420 very negative. But see it like this. Somebody's 00:31:59.420 --> 00:32:01.619 ready to come to my church. You want to come 00:32:01.619 --> 00:32:04.180 to my church? You ready? You want to bring your 00:32:04.180 --> 00:32:07.859 wife also? It's 11 o 'clock second service. You 00:32:07.859 --> 00:32:10.480 want to come there? It's a great church. I know, 00:32:10.480 --> 00:32:12.960 I know you want to come. I will come and I'll 00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:16.240 pick you from here. Why do you see those things 00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:19.700 that are happening? Only also see things that 00:32:19.700 --> 00:32:22.480 are not happening. And they start happening. 00:32:24.690 --> 00:32:27.630 A lot of people are not talking about God because 00:32:27.630 --> 00:32:30.349 they say, no, no, no, Tony, you don't know this 00:32:30.349 --> 00:32:34.970 is America. Don't tell me this is America. I've 00:32:34.970 --> 00:32:37.349 been coming to this America for the last 34 years 00:32:37.349 --> 00:32:39.710 and hundreds of people have accepted Jesus Christ 00:32:39.710 --> 00:32:41.869 as personal savior. You know, if I get a chance, 00:32:41.930 --> 00:32:44.529 I'll take the team and go everywhere. What will 00:32:44.529 --> 00:32:49.829 happen? At the most, they will say no. They're 00:32:49.829 --> 00:32:55.039 gonna kill me? But you know, you see those people 00:32:55.039 --> 00:32:58.059 who are cunning to the Lord. You see some of 00:32:58.059 --> 00:32:59.759 the people that you are going to talk about Jesus, 00:33:00.059 --> 00:33:01.400 they are going to become preachers and they're 00:33:01.400 --> 00:33:03.200 going to go to India and all over the world and 00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:05.180 preach the gospel. Some of the people that you're 00:33:05.180 --> 00:33:07.339 going to share the gospel with are going to be 00:33:07.339 --> 00:33:09.640 mighty healers. And some of the people that are 00:33:09.640 --> 00:33:11.920 going to share the gospel who are drug addicts 00:33:11.920 --> 00:33:14.839 today, tomorrow they will be pastor, but see 00:33:14.839 --> 00:33:18.480 it. I have young children, and I raise them up, 00:33:18.640 --> 00:33:20.680 and they can't even speak one word of English, 00:33:20.700 --> 00:33:23.240 you know, and they don't know Bible, they can't 00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:25.359 read Bible, but you know, when I train them, 00:33:25.420 --> 00:33:28.460 I see them as pastors of big churches. I see 00:33:28.460 --> 00:33:30.619 them preaching in the big congregation. I see 00:33:30.619 --> 00:33:32.680 them preaching the conventions, and you know, 00:33:32.900 --> 00:33:36.380 it has happened. My sons have planted as many 00:33:36.380 --> 00:33:42.339 as 60, 70 churches. One pastor has planted 20 00:33:42.339 --> 00:33:48.350 churches in last six years, 20 churches. hallelujah 00:33:48.350 --> 00:33:54.990 because why see that's not happening that that 00:33:54.990 --> 00:33:58.210 person is ridiculing you see him as calling you 00:33:58.210 --> 00:34:04.410 for the dinner that man said no get out from 00:34:04.410 --> 00:34:08.309 here don't see him as kicking you out of his 00:34:08.309 --> 00:34:11.210 house, but seeing him one day crying and inviting, 00:34:11.369 --> 00:34:16.110 please come to my house. You are my savior. You 00:34:16.110 --> 00:34:20.269 gave me the world that saved my life. See it! 00:34:20.539 --> 00:34:25.000 It'll happen. This lady wouldn't see what her 00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:28.059 son saw. She wouldn't see what her sister saw. 00:34:28.340 --> 00:34:30.900 She wouldn't see what other people there in the 00:34:30.900 --> 00:34:33.579 congregation. Lady, where are you going? Those 00:34:33.579 --> 00:34:35.880 10 ,000 people around Jesus Christ, they looked 00:34:35.880 --> 00:34:39.179 at the lady. Where are you trying to go? Where 00:34:39.179 --> 00:34:41.840 are you going? You lady, you will be killed. 00:34:42.139 --> 00:34:44.440 She said, no, I will not be killed. I will be 00:34:44.440 --> 00:34:48.050 healed. I will be healed what do you see you 00:34:48.050 --> 00:34:50.710 will be killed see that you will be healed and 00:34:50.710 --> 00:34:53.190 you will be healed and the lady was healed and 00:34:53.190 --> 00:34:55.929 Jesus not only the lady was healed but lady was 00:34:55.929 --> 00:34:58.530 introduced to Jesus Christ she is the first lady 00:34:58.530 --> 00:35:01.050 today that having encounter with Jesus Christ 00:35:01.050 --> 00:35:03.110 and Jesus Christ said great lady what's your 00:35:03.110 --> 00:35:06.449 name you know I'm glad to heal you you have a 00:35:06.449 --> 00:35:08.969 great fight you know oh yes Jesus I'm healed 00:35:08.969 --> 00:35:11.510 and I don't know what happened you know maybe 00:35:11.510 --> 00:35:14.190 they would have exchanged their addresses and 00:35:14.190 --> 00:35:17.030 all that and she might have invited Jesus Christ 00:35:17.030 --> 00:35:19.090 for a dinner and Jesus said, can I stay three 00:35:19.090 --> 00:35:21.449 days here? And then she became a follower of 00:35:21.449 --> 00:35:24.389 Jesus. All those things are not written. But 00:35:24.389 --> 00:35:26.849 you ask me, how do you know this thing happened? 00:35:27.170 --> 00:35:28.889 I will ask you, how do you know it didn't happen? 00:35:32.309 --> 00:35:34.630 If you know it didn't happen, so I know it happened. 00:35:35.909 --> 00:35:42.059 Okay. Let's go to another story. You know in 00:35:42.059 --> 00:35:44.239 the Old Testament, we don't have to read this 00:35:44.239 --> 00:35:46.460 story. You know in the Old Testament, there is 00:35:46.460 --> 00:35:51.360 a master and the disciple. The disciple gets 00:35:51.360 --> 00:35:55.159 up very early in the morning. One good thing 00:35:55.159 --> 00:35:56.920 in the disciple, he got up early in the morning. 00:35:57.179 --> 00:35:59.000 A lot of people can't get up early in the morning, 00:35:59.219 --> 00:36:05.880 especially for me. This man got up early in the 00:36:05.880 --> 00:36:08.110 morning. He went to fetch up some water. In Eastern 00:36:08.110 --> 00:36:11.329 culture, everybody doesn't have the water at 00:36:11.329 --> 00:36:17.650 house. So there is a community pump, hand pump, 00:36:18.210 --> 00:36:20.010 and people go to community. In those days, there 00:36:20.010 --> 00:36:22.590 was a community well. So this man got up early 00:36:22.590 --> 00:36:24.230 in the morning because he had to start cooking 00:36:24.230 --> 00:36:28.030 breakfast for the master and some water for his 00:36:28.030 --> 00:36:30.829 bath. So he got up early in the morning, he went 00:36:30.829 --> 00:36:37.900 out, and he's, oh, what? He saw his whole house 00:36:37.900 --> 00:36:42.380 is surrounded by houses and chariot. And he came 00:36:42.380 --> 00:36:46.380 back and said, Master, my house is surrounded 00:36:46.380 --> 00:36:50.699 by the enemy. You know what Master said? Master, 00:36:50.780 --> 00:36:55.199 don't worry. Don't worry. Our house is surrounded 00:36:55.199 --> 00:36:58.860 by enemy. You see that? But our enemy is surrounded 00:36:58.860 --> 00:37:05.340 by our God. And those who are with us, they're 00:37:05.340 --> 00:37:08.579 more than those who are against us. He said, 00:37:08.659 --> 00:37:13.340 what? We don't even have a knife. Yesterday, 00:37:13.500 --> 00:37:15.920 I peeled the potato. I went to a neighbor house 00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:19.980 to get a knife. And she said, after you're finished 00:37:19.980 --> 00:37:23.239 with the knife, please bring it back. So I gave 00:37:23.239 --> 00:37:25.280 that knife back. We don't even have a knife. 00:37:25.519 --> 00:37:28.420 And those people are with a sword and spears. 00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:31.860 What are you talking? We don't have anything. 00:37:32.239 --> 00:37:35.739 He said, you don't have the eyes to see the things 00:37:35.739 --> 00:37:40.019 that I see. That's the reason why many people 00:37:40.019 --> 00:37:42.400 are discouraged. Many people are scared. The 00:37:42.400 --> 00:37:44.980 guy was very scared. He was trembling. He said, 00:37:45.199 --> 00:37:47.699 alas my master, what should we do? Many Christians 00:37:47.699 --> 00:37:49.760 today, even though they go to church, they say, 00:37:49.900 --> 00:37:52.940 alas my master, what do we do? In this situation, 00:37:53.260 --> 00:37:57.219 what do we do? But you know the man of God knew 00:37:57.219 --> 00:38:00.480 the problem. Man of God knew the problem. And 00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:02.320 man of God didn't say anything. Man of God only 00:38:02.320 --> 00:38:04.119 prayed a prayer. You know what he'd say? The 00:38:04.119 --> 00:38:07.039 man of God prayed a prayer. God, open his eyes. 00:38:07.920 --> 00:38:12.539 His eyes can only see, his eyes can only see 00:38:12.539 --> 00:38:16.739 the seen. His eyes can only see the seen, but 00:38:16.739 --> 00:38:23.260 open his eyes that will see unseen. You have 00:38:23.260 --> 00:38:26.500 opened my eyes! God and I can see unseen and 00:38:26.500 --> 00:38:30.159 when you start seeing unseen the sin has seen 00:38:30.159 --> 00:38:38.579 has no problem seen is meaningless because you 00:38:38.579 --> 00:38:45.760 see unseen unseen a lot of people used to have 00:38:45.760 --> 00:38:54.869 that verse in the house Jesus is the head of 00:38:54.869 --> 00:39:02.250 this house the unseen guest at every meal and 00:39:02.250 --> 00:39:05.690 I complained to Bible Society in India and I 00:39:05.690 --> 00:39:08.489 said you said Jesus the head of this house the 00:39:08.489 --> 00:39:14.510 unseen guest how can a head be the guest how 00:39:14.510 --> 00:39:17.010 can a head be the guest they changed it now they 00:39:17.010 --> 00:39:19.210 write it like this Jesus is the head of this 00:39:19.210 --> 00:39:23.550 house the unseen host He is unseen host. Even 00:39:23.550 --> 00:39:26.110 if your eyes don't see, he is the host of the 00:39:26.110 --> 00:39:32.010 house. So consider Jesus not to be absent from 00:39:32.010 --> 00:39:34.250 your house, but consider him, he's the host. 00:39:34.469 --> 00:39:36.429 He's the one providing everything. He's the one 00:39:36.429 --> 00:39:38.349 laying the table. He's the one giving money. 00:39:38.570 --> 00:39:40.829 You know, whatever's happening, he's the unseen 00:39:40.829 --> 00:39:44.090 host. If your eyes cannot see, don't care about 00:39:44.090 --> 00:39:49.849 it. Your faith can see. And you continue to walk. 00:39:51.090 --> 00:39:55.630 Continue to walk. His eyes were opened and then 00:39:55.630 --> 00:39:58.329 he saw and then his trembling was gone because 00:39:58.329 --> 00:40:02.170 eyes were open. It's important, but it is possible. 00:40:03.590 --> 00:40:06.550 Sorry about that. It's possible that you're a 00:40:06.550 --> 00:40:09.389 servant of a man of God, but still your eyes 00:40:09.389 --> 00:40:12.809 are closed. You're cooking for the man of God. 00:40:13.949 --> 00:40:16.130 You get up early in the morning and make breakfast 00:40:16.130 --> 00:40:19.530 for the man of God. You fetch the water for a 00:40:19.530 --> 00:40:24.269 man of God. Bath. But still you can't see. The 00:40:24.269 --> 00:40:26.449 guy did everything very good, but he couldn't 00:40:26.449 --> 00:40:31.670 see. What he saw was what? Enemies, sword, horses, 00:40:32.150 --> 00:40:37.210 chariots, people against us, homosexuality, lesbianism, 00:40:37.769 --> 00:40:42.650 and drugs and marijuana, hashish and people disobedient, 00:40:42.849 --> 00:40:46.050 children going away from parents. Don't see only 00:40:46.050 --> 00:40:51.449 that, but see the hand of God, hallelujah. Talk 00:40:51.449 --> 00:40:54.590 about those things only. Talk about God. Talk 00:40:54.590 --> 00:40:57.210 about the goodness of God. The goodness of God 00:40:57.210 --> 00:40:59.210 is so much that you'll be talking from morning 00:40:59.210 --> 00:41:01.329 till evening and the goodness of God will not 00:41:01.329 --> 00:41:04.389 finish. Unnumbered goodness of God upon you. 00:41:04.690 --> 00:41:15.090 Start counting everything. See, like a master. 00:41:15.449 --> 00:41:18.690 don't see like the servant. He only saw with 00:41:18.690 --> 00:41:21.610 his natural eyes and that made him so discouraged 00:41:21.610 --> 00:41:24.769 that he came back to the master and this is what, 00:41:25.190 --> 00:41:28.230 today people are coming to the master and they, 00:41:28.230 --> 00:41:30.550 when they pray to master, this is what they say, 00:41:30.670 --> 00:41:34.829 master, I ask my master, what should we do? Don't 00:41:34.829 --> 00:41:36.570 pray like that. When you come to master, you 00:41:36.570 --> 00:41:39.210 say, master, thank you very much that you have 00:41:39.210 --> 00:41:43.219 surrounded me. Your horses and chariot fire have 00:41:43.219 --> 00:41:47.230 surrounded me because you can see You could be 00:41:47.230 --> 00:41:49.110 a servant of the man of God. You could be doing 00:41:49.110 --> 00:41:51.570 something very good. You could be giving a lot 00:41:51.570 --> 00:41:53.610 of money in the church. You could be very helpful. 00:41:53.809 --> 00:41:55.429 You could be cleaning the church and everything. 00:41:55.630 --> 00:41:59.289 But still, you have to pray. God, open my eyes. 00:41:59.530 --> 00:42:01.969 The master is praying that everyone's eyes open. 00:42:02.190 --> 00:42:04.550 Everyone working in the house of God, everybody 00:42:04.550 --> 00:42:06.989 helping the house of God should have their eyes 00:42:06.989 --> 00:42:09.769 open. Until your eyes are open, it will be very 00:42:09.769 --> 00:42:12.030 difficult for you to go this road. This road 00:42:12.030 --> 00:42:14.989 is very tough and you will not endure. Whatever 00:42:14.989 --> 00:42:18.949 anybody say. Don't say this. This is enough. 00:42:20.150 --> 00:42:24.030 I can't bear anything. Or else I'll stop coming 00:42:24.030 --> 00:42:28.710 to church. Why couldn't you bear it? Because 00:42:28.710 --> 00:42:34.789 you didn't see the reward from heaven. I want 00:42:34.789 --> 00:42:37.489 you to read this one. This is very good. And 00:42:37.489 --> 00:42:43.989 that is Acts of the Apostles. Seventh chapter. 00:42:44.880 --> 00:42:50.340 Acts of the Apostles 7 chapter and verse 60 Acts 00:42:50.340 --> 00:42:56.000 of the Apostles 7 chapter verse 60 And he knelt 00:42:56.000 --> 00:42:58.960 down and cried out with a loud voice Lord do 00:42:58.960 --> 00:43:04.579 not change from them With the sin and when he 00:43:04.579 --> 00:43:08.039 had said this okay fell asleep somebody died 00:43:08.039 --> 00:43:14.210 And what was his last prayer? The last prayer, 00:43:14.530 --> 00:43:19.070 he's being stoned and he's dying and he's praying 00:43:19.070 --> 00:43:22.630 a prayer. His name is Stephen. He's praying a 00:43:22.630 --> 00:43:25.309 prayer, Lord, don't count this against them. 00:43:25.670 --> 00:43:28.550 Don't put this sin against them. Please don't 00:43:28.550 --> 00:43:31.570 punish them for this sin. Don't put them in hell 00:43:31.570 --> 00:43:35.309 for this sin. He's dying. Generally, people don't 00:43:35.309 --> 00:43:41.119 say like this. Generally people's prayer at that 00:43:41.119 --> 00:43:45.000 time, first of all, they can't bear that much. 00:43:45.099 --> 00:43:50.800 One stone and they say, stop it. If you don't 00:43:50.800 --> 00:43:55.039 stop it, then I got this stone also. But this 00:43:55.039 --> 00:43:57.840 guy didn't throw any stone from this side, and 00:43:57.840 --> 00:44:00.519 he kept receiving stones, so much so that he 00:44:00.519 --> 00:44:03.059 was close to death. And he started praying a 00:44:03.059 --> 00:44:06.559 prayer, and the prayer was a very different prayer 00:44:06.559 --> 00:44:10.329 than we do. We pray a prayer, God, did you see 00:44:10.329 --> 00:44:16.190 this? In your private prayers, in your private 00:44:16.190 --> 00:44:21.650 prayers, in corporate prayers also, we pray, 00:44:21.750 --> 00:44:26.210 God, you take care of the enemy. You know what 00:44:26.210 --> 00:44:29.030 enemy is doing, God. Have you seen this? Did 00:44:29.030 --> 00:44:33.429 you count how many stones they throw at me? Big 00:44:33.429 --> 00:44:44.730 ones. This is one of them. This guy is praying 00:44:44.730 --> 00:44:47.789 a different prayer. But I was amazed when I read 00:44:47.789 --> 00:44:53.769 this. How can this guy, how can this guy, when 00:44:53.769 --> 00:44:57.849 he sees the enemy and he scream on them and gnashing 00:44:57.849 --> 00:45:01.369 their teeth and saying dirty things, throwing 00:45:01.369 --> 00:45:04.070 stone, still praying a prayer like that. Now, 00:45:04.389 --> 00:45:08.860 I'll give you the key.

If I start telling you what happened 00:48:26.039 --> 00:48:30.599 around my house and how many times I was... ridiculed 00:48:30.599 --> 00:48:32.780 by people and how many times they tried to kill 00:48:32.780 --> 00:48:36.739 me and how I lived without food for months and 00:48:36.739 --> 00:48:39.420 months together.

It's not because 00:48:46.599 --> 00:48:49.199 of my father's wealth. It's not because of my 00:48:49.199 --> 00:48:54.639 mother's education. It was because I looked up. 00:48:54.829 --> 00:48:59.170 into heaven and I saw Jesus in all those situations 00:48:59.170 --> 00:49:02.050 when I had no food, no food in my house, but 00:49:02.050 --> 00:49:04.449 I felt like Jesus was with me and Jesus was saying, 00:49:04.469 --> 00:49:08.389 Tony, don't worry, I am with you. And I saw Jesus 00:49:08.389 --> 00:49:11.980 and Jesus, I haven't eaten, don't worry. Don't 00:49:11.980 --> 00:49:14.260 worry, I will give you everything. And in those 00:49:14.260 --> 00:49:16.619 situations, I used to say, God, these people 00:49:16.619 --> 00:49:18.780 are ridiculing me, and they're saying that when 00:49:18.780 --> 00:49:21.079 you marry, how will you feed your wife? How will 00:49:21.079 --> 00:49:23.059 you feed your children? And they're talking about 00:49:23.059 --> 00:49:25.079 all those things. And I used to see this thing. 00:49:25.260 --> 00:49:27.659 God used to say, you will have food, and you 00:49:27.659 --> 00:49:29.860 will have money, you will have a house, you will 00:49:29.860 --> 00:49:32.440 have cars, and everything. And I saw that in 00:49:32.440 --> 00:49:34.920 those days, I used to take bicycle, which was 00:49:34.920 --> 00:49:38.750 not owned by me. Which was not owned by me. Somebody 00:49:38.750 --> 00:49:41.130 else's bicycle. I will take the bicycle and I 00:49:41.130 --> 00:49:44.329 will start the bicycle like this Like motorcycle 00:49:44.329 --> 00:49:46.929 and start the bicycle like this. What are you 00:49:46.929 --> 00:49:49.789 doing? What are you doing? People say I'm starting 00:49:49.789 --> 00:49:53.070 on my motorcycle. This is a bicycle. You say 00:49:53.070 --> 00:49:58.269 it's a bicycle. I see motorcycle And you know 00:49:58.269 --> 00:50:02.230 everybody else Everybody else will ride a bicycle 00:50:02.230 --> 00:50:05.909 like this. I will ride a bicycle like this And 00:50:05.909 --> 00:50:09.730 they say why are you? Is it a car? I said, you 00:50:09.730 --> 00:50:19.550 see as a bicycle. I see as a car. Folks, a few 00:50:19.550 --> 00:50:22.750 days ago, there were 130 people staying in my 00:50:22.750 --> 00:50:24.829 house. There was a time I didn't have a place 00:50:24.829 --> 00:50:28.969 to sleep. There was a time I... didn't have place 00:50:28.969 --> 00:50:31.789 for a whole night prayer, we had to knock doors 00:50:31.789 --> 00:50:34.469 after doors, and nobody opened the door for the 00:50:34.469 --> 00:50:36.789 whole night prayer, so we had to go in the public 00:50:36.789 --> 00:50:41.550 place, in open place, in railway track to pray 00:50:41.550 --> 00:50:45.469 there, because we had no place. Thank God we 00:50:45.469 --> 00:50:49.789 have 100 church buildings in India. 100 church 00:50:49.789 --> 00:50:52.329 buildings that we build, we own 100 church buildings. 00:50:52.869 --> 00:50:57.630 We have prayer tower, prayer center, halls, auditoriums, 00:50:57.750 --> 00:51:00.190 and everything. Why? Because one day when we 00:51:00.190 --> 00:51:06.510 didn't have it, I saw it. I could have gone away 00:51:06.510 --> 00:51:13.289 discouraged, but he saw heaven open. Try to see 00:51:13.289 --> 00:51:16.650 heaven, not hell. You try to see Jesus, not devil. 00:51:16.929 --> 00:51:20.250 You try to be filled, but the Holy Ghost, not 00:51:20.250 --> 00:51:26.409 by anger. Okay. Let me ask you to read this scripture. 00:51:26.829 --> 00:51:28.789 This is very good. I don't know how much time 00:51:28.789 --> 00:51:30.929 I've got left. Oh, it's one o 'clock. Sorry, 00:51:31.329 --> 00:51:41.480 I am going to be scolded. Oh. Let me now ask 00:51:41.480 --> 00:51:43.460 you to really just say, the guy who came to Jesus 00:51:43.460 --> 00:51:45.300 Christ and said Jesus Christ, he ran to Jesus 00:51:45.300 --> 00:51:47.300 Christ and came and bowed before Jesus Christ, 00:51:47.420 --> 00:51:50.420 and he said, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, what I do to 00:51:50.420 --> 00:51:52.519 inherit the kingdom of God, I want to have it, 00:51:52.619 --> 00:51:54.179 I want to have it, I've heard that you give the 00:51:54.179 --> 00:51:56.219 kingdom of God, how much it'll cost, he's already 00:51:56.219 --> 00:51:59.059 calculated, it may be $1 ,500, I'll give him 00:51:59.059 --> 00:52:01.079 and get it, because he has bought so many things 00:52:01.079 --> 00:52:02.739 there, and whatever he wanted to buy, because 00:52:02.739 --> 00:52:04.639 he was a rich man, he will go and buy it, he'll 00:52:04.639 --> 00:52:06.639 see a property, he'll buy it, see a house, he'll 00:52:06.639 --> 00:52:08.480 buy it, he'll see a horse, he'll buy it, this 00:52:08.480 --> 00:52:10.780 time he wants to get there. Kingdom of God, he 00:52:10.780 --> 00:52:12.880 said, maybe it's $2 ,000, I'll buy it. He came 00:52:12.880 --> 00:52:16.460 to Jesus Christ and Jesus quoted a price. Jesus 00:52:16.460 --> 00:52:25.139 quoted a price. He said, oh, that much? That 00:52:25.139 --> 00:52:32.420 much? He didn't like the transaction. He didn't 00:52:32.420 --> 00:52:35.380 go into the deal. He was going back and Bible 00:52:35.380 --> 00:52:38.400 tells us he was sad. Why are you sad? It's the 00:52:38.400 --> 00:52:40.659 first time I couldn't buy it. Every time I went 00:52:40.659 --> 00:52:42.599 to buy a car, I bought it. Every time I went 00:52:42.599 --> 00:52:44.940 to buy a horse, I bought it. Every time I was 00:52:44.940 --> 00:52:46.719 looking for a land, I bought it. Even if they 00:52:46.719 --> 00:52:48.699 were asking some little bit more money, I said, 00:52:48.780 --> 00:52:50.199 who cares, I bought it. This is the first time 00:52:50.199 --> 00:52:52.280 I couldn't buy it, because he was asking too 00:52:52.280 --> 00:52:55.300 much. No, that's not worth it. You know why? 00:52:55.599 --> 00:52:58.679 This guy didn't know, he couldn't see this. He 00:52:58.679 --> 00:53:01.440 couldn't see what he was getting. And Jesus Christ 00:53:01.440 --> 00:53:04.280 said little, little, little. You know, after 00:53:04.280 --> 00:53:06.860 some time somebody explained, hey, you didn't 00:53:06.860 --> 00:53:09.889 take it? How much he was asking? He was asking 00:53:09.889 --> 00:53:11.969 all my wealth. He was asking all my wealth. Oh, 00:53:11.989 --> 00:53:14.170 you're a fool, but you didn't hear what he said 00:53:14.170 --> 00:53:17.449 after that. He was talking to his disciple, Peter, 00:53:17.610 --> 00:53:20.349 and he was saying, anybody who has invested any 00:53:20.349 --> 00:53:23.409 money for me, anybody who has invested any money, 00:53:23.510 --> 00:53:25.969 how much money you had that he was asking? Well, 00:53:25.989 --> 00:53:30.730 I had $2 million. He was asking all. He was asking 00:53:30.730 --> 00:53:34.170 me to give all and then get the eternal life. 00:53:34.510 --> 00:53:37.489 $2 million? And you didn't give? You're a fool. 00:53:38.690 --> 00:53:41.070 You would have received 200 million because he 00:53:41.070 --> 00:53:44.570 told his disciple Peter, if there's anybody who 00:53:44.570 --> 00:53:47.610 will give anything, I will give him 100 times. 00:53:47.829 --> 00:53:51.210 You would have got 200 million. You didn't see 00:53:51.210 --> 00:53:58.730 what you were buying. God said so many times 00:53:58.730 --> 00:54:01.789 I've gone to see a land and I'm so experienced 00:54:01.789 --> 00:54:04.389 I see the land and I know it's worth it and I 00:54:04.389 --> 00:54:06.730 bought it I want to see a house and I bought 00:54:06.730 --> 00:54:11.789 it First time I failed because my natural eyes 00:54:11.789 --> 00:54:15.829 Made me to fail and I should have asked God to 00:54:15.829 --> 00:54:19.869 forgive me forgive my sins and I should have 00:54:19.869 --> 00:54:23.519 taken the spiritual eyes and I could have seen 00:54:23.519 --> 00:54:26.219 this transaction was good, and I could have said, 00:54:26.340 --> 00:54:29.699 Jesus, take all $2 million, no problem, and he 00:54:29.699 --> 00:54:36.840 would have returned me 200 million. See with 00:54:36.840 --> 00:54:39.800 the spiritual eyes, and you are never at a loss. 00:54:40.960 --> 00:54:44.000 See with your natural eyes. They will fail you. 00:54:44.699 --> 00:54:53.400 They will cheat you. They will misguide you. 00:54:55.960 --> 00:54:59.320 And you will be totally torn apart. But you take 00:54:59.320 --> 00:55:01.880 the guidance from your spiritual eyes. Your spiritual 00:55:01.880 --> 00:55:06.260 eyes see beyond people see. They see beyond science. 00:55:06.659 --> 00:55:10.239 They see beyond medical science. They see beyond 00:55:10.239 --> 00:55:15.119 any other person can see. Jesus had 10 lepers. 00:55:15.380 --> 00:55:17.739 The 10 lepers came to Jesus Christ, and all those 00:55:17.739 --> 00:55:20.000 10 lepers, they were saying, Jesus, heal me, 00:55:20.039 --> 00:55:22.800 Jesus, heal me. The lepers were not supposed 00:55:22.800 --> 00:55:25.880 to come inside the city, so they were going at 00:55:25.880 --> 00:55:28.519 the boundary wall. They had to go to the boundary, 00:55:29.320 --> 00:55:31.420 boundary walls. They are not supposed to come 00:55:31.420 --> 00:55:34.739 in this, and they were supposed to shout, leper, 00:55:34.980 --> 00:55:37.440 unclean, unclean, so they can't come in the city. 00:55:38.059 --> 00:55:40.019 And they're not supposed, so they were shouting. 00:55:40.320 --> 00:55:44.059 Jesus saw them, lepers. Go and show yourself 00:55:44.059 --> 00:55:48.360 to the high priest. High priest? What are you 00:55:48.360 --> 00:55:50.500 talking? We are not supposed to go to the high 00:55:50.500 --> 00:55:52.340 priest. High priests live there in downtown. 00:55:52.900 --> 00:55:56.260 We can't come inside. We are lepers. We are lepers. 00:55:56.340 --> 00:55:59.639 See? We are lepers. These lepers gathered together 00:55:59.639 --> 00:56:04.360 and they decided, we are not lepers. We are not 00:56:04.360 --> 00:56:12.190 lepers. We are healed. to the high priest and 00:56:12.190 --> 00:56:14.789 show them we are healed and he'll give us a certificate 00:56:14.789 --> 00:56:19.369 so they even though they were still lepers they 00:56:19.369 --> 00:56:23.309 saw something natural eyes couldn't see and they 00:56:23.309 --> 00:56:26.269 started but it said and as they were going where 00:56:26.269 --> 00:56:29.010 are you going I'm going to show the high priest 00:56:29.010 --> 00:56:32.070 that we are healed We don't have any leprosy. 00:56:32.309 --> 00:56:34.130 What are you talking? What are you talking? Are 00:56:34.130 --> 00:56:35.829 you talking about your leprosy all the time? 00:56:36.170 --> 00:56:38.590 You're talking about your bad son, bad boy.

You're talking about 00:56:42.650 --> 00:56:44.789 negative things. No, you will not be able to 00:56:44.789 --> 00:56:46.889 walk this road. This is a very hard road, and 00:56:46.889 --> 00:56:50.670 you will not be able to pursue. You will not 00:56:50.670 --> 00:56:54.099 be able to persevere.
