>> Good morning. We are so glad
that you can join us in person
00:00:35.46\00:00:38.63
and welcome to those that are
also viewing online. Welcome.
00:00:38.63\00:00:43.34
I have the privilege of
introducing our speaker for the
00:00:43.34\00:00:46.41
devotional time
this morning to cast or
00:00:46.41\00:00:49.81
I as you know, he is a man
of prayer and in many different
00:00:49.81\00:00:54.08
conferences and site
UIC and also here in demand
00:00:54.08\00:00:58.59
had a personal experience.
The first time I met him was
00:00:58.59\00:01:01.76
actually at a prayer united
Traer time. And at that time he
00:01:01.76\00:01:06.13
invited me to join for G I C
00:01:06.13\00:01:08.76
and from that
00:01:08.76\00:01:10.10
point on there is somebody
to find appointments. But it all
00:01:10.10\00:01:12.70
started with him inviting me to
go in person to join for prayer
00:01:12.70\00:01:17.47
and for fellowship. So
00:01:17.47\00:01:19.84
I just want to welcome gem and
00:01:19.84\00:01:23.75
and that will be blessed.
00:01:23.75\00:01:25.91
Good morning, everyone.
00:01:29.68\00:01:33.29
>> I've already greeted
some of you a wonderful morning.
00:01:33.29\00:01:36.79
This is like an
extension of our prayer time.
00:01:36.79\00:01:39.23
A friend said it is such a joy
to be in the presence of people
00:01:39.23\00:01:43.70
who are hungering for the
presence of God. Can you say
00:01:43.70\00:01:45.93
amen to that?
00:01:45.93\00:01:47.70
And when when Johnny was
introducing me, he said that a
00:01:47.70\00:01:50.94
man of prayer, I would like
to correct. And a man who really
00:01:50.94\00:01:53.74
needs a lot of parish.
00:01:53.74\00:01:55.98
So before we continue on with
the shortened version of this
00:01:55.98\00:01:58.75
morning, it like to invite
00:01:58.75\00:02:00.72
for those. Those are able to
any of them to please know that
00:02:00.72\00:02:03.55
would be forwarded prayer.
00:02:03.55\00:02:08.62
A great gathered 11. Have
any fog, a little bit racing.
00:02:08.62\00:02:10.99
We thank you that we
could be in your presence
00:02:10.99\00:02:13.76
and though the pace and we
think it is your desire to join
00:02:13.76\00:02:17.17
year-on-year to us so that
yes, in a very special way that
00:02:17.17\00:02:21.00
maybe not miss out on anything
that you designed to give us
00:02:21.00\00:02:24.24
comedian. I think part of your
Holy Spirit be upon us. I mean,
00:02:24.24\00:02:27.18
you name it lifted up
O Lord and may be hidden.
00:02:27.18\00:02:30.15
May not be heard. No be seen
but cheeses and cheeses alone
00:02:30.15\00:02:32.81
be seen be heard that
lifted up in the zone that
00:02:32.81\00:02:35.52
this is my desire and that
made this PR heart's desire. We
00:02:35.52\00:02:38.69
asked us not being precious
name of your son, Jesus on your
00:02:38.69\00:02:41.86
children safe
00:02:41.86\00:02:43.69
and a little bit of
a plug or announcement.
00:02:48.53\00:02:52.17
But tomorrow we'll be doing our
prayer time. Not that 06:00AM.
00:02:52.17\00:02:55.54
But the 5.45?
00:02:55.54\00:02:58.57
Yes, it seems like
they were rushed to.
00:02:58.57\00:03:03.08
We're just talking
about Harry Reid steps
00:03:03.08\00:03:06.45
and France this morning.
I like to share with you.
00:03:06.45\00:03:09.35
I was thinking what a share.
00:03:09.35\00:03:11.95
And this thought hit me.
00:03:11.95\00:03:14.56
Can you imagine really being
in the presence of Jesus when he
00:03:14.56\00:03:17.73
was here or not?
00:03:17.73\00:03:19.53
Can you imagine what it
00:03:19.53\00:03:22.23
what it feels like, how
his voice sounds like how his
00:03:22.23\00:03:25.20
demeanor
00:03:25.20\00:03:26.47
in France, this praise God for
40 inspired writings. Can you
00:03:26.47\00:03:30.87
say amen to that?
00:03:30.87\00:03:32.57
I really praise God for the
design of a just aside from the
00:03:32.57\00:03:35.58
Bible is out of ages is one
of my favorite books is not my
00:03:35.58\00:03:38.98
favorite books. So it says
it is out of a just page. 254
00:03:38.98\00:03:42.95
paragraph for excess.
00:03:42.95\00:03:44.65
He stender compassion, fell
with a touch of healing up and
00:03:44.65\00:03:48.36
weary and troubled hearts.
00:03:48.36\00:03:51.36
Even amid the turbulence
of angry enemies, he was
00:03:51.36\00:03:55.13
surrounded with an
atmosphere of peace.
00:03:55.13\00:03:59.80
And I'm thinking
00:03:59.80\00:04:02.37
if I have that my defense,
especially in the time that
00:04:02.37\00:04:06.64
we're living in right now, that
is a powerful weapon to have.
00:04:06.64\00:04:11.95
And we even lose our
peace without an Denise.
00:04:11.95\00:04:16.15
Sometimes the enemy's just
us. Listen to this friends, the
00:04:16.15\00:04:19.15
beauty of his countenance,
the loveliness of his character
00:04:19.15\00:04:22.29
above all the love expressed
in look and tone jus to him all
00:04:22.29\00:04:28.50
who are not hardened
00:04:28.50\00:04:30.57
in Unbelief.
00:04:30.57\00:04:32.27
Had it not been for the sweet
sympathetic spirit that shone
00:04:32.27\00:04:36.47
out in every look and word
friend sympathetic spirit shown
00:04:36.47\00:04:40.74
up and every look
00:04:40.74\00:04:42.98
and word.
00:04:42.98\00:04:44.55
This is the beautiful
thing that you experience in the
00:04:44.55\00:04:48.05
presence of Jesus and listen
to this fence. He would not have
00:04:48.05\00:04:52.22
attracted the large
congregation that he did
00:04:52.22\00:04:55.42
deflected. The once who
came to him felt the peeling his
00:04:55.42\00:04:59.36
interest with. There's
a fateful tender friend
00:04:59.36\00:05:02.56
and they decide to know
more of the troops he taught
00:05:02.56\00:05:06.47
haven't what's brought me here.
00:05:06.47\00:05:10.74
I hope and I pray that this
will be our experience as well
00:05:10.74\00:05:13.64
as we draw closer to the U.S.
to express is that when we go
00:05:13.64\00:05:16.95
back home, that people will
have the same testimony as they
00:05:16.95\00:05:21.18
have of Jesus,
00:05:21.18\00:05:22.68
listen, friends and they
long to abide in his precedence.
00:05:22.68\00:05:28.56
Have you wondered fence how she
says was always surrounded by
00:05:28.56\00:05:33.29
people who doesn't want to let
go of his presence is because
00:05:33.29\00:05:36.67
of this and listen fence that
the comfort of his love might
00:05:36.67\00:05:41.14
be with them
00:05:41.14\00:05:42.47
continually.
00:05:42.47\00:05:45.21
As I'm reading this, this was
something that hit me and this
00:05:45.21\00:05:48.41
is what the Lord
desires for us to experience
00:05:48.41\00:05:52.38
the continuation
00:05:52.38\00:05:54.18
of this loving precedence,
00:05:54.18\00:05:56.75
Joe Biden with us. And as much
as the people desire to abide
00:05:56.75\00:06:01.02
with him,
00:06:01.02\00:06:02.06
the Lourdes desire a stronger
00:06:02.06\00:06:04.83
to abide with us. Can
you say amen to that friends?
00:06:04.83\00:06:08.10
And so when I look at all this
blessings that comes from the
00:06:08.10\00:06:12.20
presence of God, I'm thinking
what is the secret of Jesus,
00:06:12.20\00:06:15.34
why he has this?
00:06:15.34\00:06:16.94
And so I was reading
00:06:16.94\00:06:18.81
I was reading this this article
from from design of a just and
00:06:18.81\00:06:21.88
I see that she says has as
one particular secret and why he
00:06:21.88\00:06:26.15
has this strength. Why has
the speeds even in the midst
00:06:26.15\00:06:30.59
turbulence even amidst
of enemies object to him?
00:06:30.59\00:06:35.52
If you're if you have your
Bible study, please open it
00:06:35.52\00:06:37.96
with me and John 6 0st. 38,
00:06:37.96\00:06:41.60
one simple thing. One aim
that Jesus have in his life. If
00:06:41.60\00:06:46.13
you're there's a man
00:06:46.13\00:06:49.17
I have not heard in a man.
So mean to say that that you're
00:06:49.17\00:06:52.47
still looking
meant what I meant,
00:06:52.47\00:06:56.78
John, 6 verse. 38. It's s
00:06:56.78\00:06:59.41
before I came down from heaven
00:06:59.41\00:07:01.98
not to do my own will
00:07:01.98\00:07:03.95
but the will of him who sent me
00:07:03.95\00:07:07.46
that was the ups or being thing
in Jesus life not to do his own
00:07:07.46\00:07:11.63
thing
00:07:11.63\00:07:12.73
but to do we love him. The
sent me. I love the easy we'd
00:07:12.73\00:07:15.86
version friends. Listen to
this. I came down from heaven
00:07:15.86\00:07:19.20
to do what God
wants, not what I want.
00:07:19.20\00:07:25.24
And here I see the secret, my
new Friends of Christ, Peace of
00:07:25.24\00:07:30.21
Christ strength, even in the
midst of all this chaos around
00:07:30.21\00:07:34.38
him
00:07:34.38\00:07:35.22
because he's not here for him.
00:07:35.22\00:07:38.15
He's here.
00:07:38.15\00:07:41.36
Can we say the
same thing and France
00:07:41.36\00:07:44.66
signs of the times that there
were 29 18 94. It says here the
00:07:44.66\00:07:48.40
one ups or being a
of the life of Christ
00:07:48.40\00:07:52.40
wants to do the
will of his 70 father,
00:07:52.40\00:07:56.47
the one ab sore being aim
of the life of Christ was to do
00:07:56.47\00:08:00.44
the will of his father.
00:08:00.44\00:08:02.64
And I'm thinking what is
the thing that absorbs me?
00:08:02.64\00:08:06.15
What is the thing that that
somehow consumes me, Gee says
00:08:06.15\00:08:09.58
there's only one thing
00:08:09.58\00:08:11.39
and that is to do
the will of his father
00:08:11.39\00:08:14.56
and some people ask me,
Jim, do you always have to
00:08:14.56\00:08:18.66
to ask for God's
will and everything?
00:08:18.66\00:08:22.23
How about things that
you already know what to do
00:08:22.23\00:08:25.50
in France? You know what?
One thing that I've learned
00:08:25.50\00:08:27.60
I've been I've been involved
in the prayer ministry, by the
00:08:27.60\00:08:30.54
way, fence for the past
13 years. I'm a team now
00:08:30.54\00:08:36.54
13 years and one
thing that somehow,
00:08:36.54\00:08:40.32
but I learned
over and over again
00:08:40.32\00:08:42.45
that without God, I am nothing
00:08:42.45\00:08:45.49
and without God, I would
not even know how to pray.
00:08:45.49\00:08:49.96
And people might think like
Jen, you are the prayer leader.
00:08:49.96\00:08:53.53
And this is one thing that I
learned friends. If if God is
00:08:53.53\00:08:56.26
not leading even in my prayers,
00:08:56.26\00:08:59.50
I would I would
be praying things
00:08:59.50\00:09:02.90
that would not even make sense.
00:09:02.90\00:09:06.57
Only God,
00:09:06.57\00:09:08.48
no stance. And that
question, do you have to see God
00:09:08.48\00:09:13.01
God's will all the time
00:09:13.01\00:09:15.82
and France where when in
our lives are we desperately
00:09:15.82\00:09:19.35
seeking his will
00:09:19.35\00:09:21.49
when things are
falling apart, isn't it
00:09:21.49\00:09:24.39
when it seems like we don't
know what to do, then we seek a
00:09:24.39\00:09:28.60
model of our hearts. And I
love this this time that people
00:09:28.60\00:09:32.63
always ask me, brother, Jim,
can you lead us into prayer?
00:09:32.63\00:09:35.94
Can you lead us in our prayer
and fasting? You know, when is
00:09:35.94\00:09:39.11
this time doing
the board exempts
00:09:39.11\00:09:43.65
medical board exams
00:09:43.65\00:09:46.11
and they will call me up and
I'm thinking, Oh, lord, I pray
00:09:46.11\00:09:49.38
that every day's
a medical board exam
00:09:49.38\00:09:53.12
and it's not just them will
praise. Even their parents are
00:09:53.12\00:09:56.96
fasting and praying
00:09:56.96\00:09:59.33
fence. We only see God
when it seems like we need him
00:09:59.33\00:10:02.86
desperately offense. I tell you
00:10:02.86\00:10:06.03
if we do not
00:10:06.03\00:10:07.67
practice seeking
him in simple things,
00:10:07.67\00:10:12.11
we will not somehow be
comfortable or the app's
00:10:12.11\00:10:16.11
seeking. Use Preston
seeking his will in big things,
00:10:16.11\00:10:20.38
France. It needs to be a habit
00:10:20.38\00:10:23.32
until it becomes a lifestyle.
Can you say amen to that?
00:10:23.32\00:10:26.72
I love this quote here
from signs of the times. It says
00:10:26.72\00:10:29.59
those who have signed the fight
to have a sanctified will or
00:10:29.59\00:10:33.03
should I say those who
have a surrender to will
00:10:33.03\00:10:36.60
that is in unison with the
will of Christ will day by day.
00:10:36.60\00:10:40.67
We have the wills vow
00:10:40.67\00:10:43.47
to the will of Christ.
00:10:43.47\00:10:45.24
I love this friends day by day
their wills will be bound to do
00:10:45.24\00:10:51.18
to do with the price. And
that is my desire. Is that your
00:10:51.18\00:10:54.28
desire, France?
00:10:54.28\00:10:56.65
And so here I see that God is
testing us in his little things
00:10:56.65\00:11:01.86
that he's
placing in front of us.
00:11:01.86\00:11:04.76
Is Jen going to
surrender? Does to me
00:11:04.76\00:11:06.93
it's just going to ask from a
leading my guidance and France.
00:11:06.93\00:11:13.07
John, 4 verse 34
00:11:13.07\00:11:15.37
another declaration of
Jesus. Here I was reading this
00:11:15.37\00:11:18.37
morning. Remember
00:11:18.37\00:11:20.74
that scene of
the woman at the well
00:11:20.74\00:11:23.04
but decide Pulse went to
the city and and look for for
00:11:23.04\00:11:26.85
bread.
00:11:26.85\00:11:27.95
You know, the Filipinos
could not relate to this because
00:11:27.95\00:11:30.02
bread for us next
00:11:30.02\00:11:32.72
for us. It's rice
00:11:32.72\00:11:35.09
and the disciple asked as Jesus,
00:11:35.09\00:11:41.23
have you eaten
00:11:41.23\00:11:42.70
and this is what
Jesus just told him. I have
00:11:42.70\00:11:46.47
I have food or I have
read that you do not know of.
00:11:46.47\00:11:51.34
They were. They were wondering,
has anyone give him any food
00:11:51.34\00:11:55.14
this Jesus and
said to them my food
00:11:55.14\00:11:58.95
it's to do the
will of him was sent me
00:11:58.95\00:12:02.88
my food, the food of Jesus.
And I know friends. I know some
00:12:02.88\00:12:07.16
people. If they don't have
food, their countenance change,
00:12:07.16\00:12:12.26
there's
depression comes over them.
00:12:12.26\00:12:15.86
It hits me sometimes as well.
00:12:15.86\00:12:18.23
Friends. What is our food?
What is really that encourages
00:12:18.23\00:12:21.90
that fuels that
inspires us Jesus, if you will.
00:12:21.90\00:12:27.71
It's to do his father swim
00:12:27.71\00:12:30.88
and friends. Can you imagine
this? If this is the life that
00:12:30.88\00:12:34.12
we live, life would
become more stuff, more simple.
00:12:34.12\00:12:39.19
All those things that
have been weighing us down
00:12:39.19\00:12:43.76
would not be as heavy
00:12:43.76\00:12:46.09
life would not be as
crowded as it is right now.
00:12:46.09\00:12:49.63
If there's only one thing that
is in your mind, even if your
00:12:49.63\00:12:52.43
face opposition, even if
you face hurdles after hard,
00:12:52.43\00:12:55.97
those of the
hurdles are even mountains.
00:12:55.97\00:12:59.27
You're only here
to do what he wants.
00:12:59.27\00:13:04.11
And I tell you, fence
surrendering to his will
00:13:04.11\00:13:07.38
brings peace.
00:13:07.38\00:13:10.45
And I love
00:13:10.45\00:13:11.79
I love that. The focus of
a men, he's very strong in
00:13:11.79\00:13:15.72
prayer.
00:13:15.72\00:13:17.19
I see in their program this
just like a lot of paragraphs
00:13:17.19\00:13:20.50
there about prayer
and even in their logo.
00:13:20.50\00:13:23.77
Correct me if I'm wrong
is into the fold and hence
00:13:23.77\00:13:27.04
France. That is
the priority is like
00:13:27.04\00:13:32.44
and fence.
00:13:32.44\00:13:33.84
When I came into the prayer
ministry, all I could think
00:13:33.84\00:13:37.08
about
00:13:37.08\00:13:39.05
prayer is asking and receiving
00:13:39.05\00:13:42.38
all I could think about there
is twisting the arm of caught.
00:13:42.38\00:13:46.15
I thought that prayer is a
formula that was the armor of
00:13:46.15\00:13:48.62
God. If you
receive what you desire.
00:13:48.62\00:13:51.33
So it was spring before
Lord, please make me at all
00:13:51.33\00:13:55.90
and I praise God. Fans of
the Lord did not answer that
00:13:55.90\00:13:58.43
prayer. I do not know
that they'll be a missionary.
00:13:58.43\00:14:00.97
I did not know
that I'll be traveling
00:14:00.97\00:14:04.04
almost every week.
00:14:04.04\00:14:06.94
God created me travel sites.
00:14:06.94\00:14:11.15
Seriously, France, you did
not know the blessing of this
00:14:11.15\00:14:14.45
height
00:14:14.45\00:14:15.88
until you travel.
00:14:15.88\00:14:19.05
But this this flight here
fence. I was seated. I was
00:14:19.05\00:14:22.96
seated like just behind the
first class. I took a picture.
00:14:22.96\00:14:28.20
I could stretch my
feet and it's not even reach
00:14:28.20\00:14:32.60
the chair in front of me.
00:14:32.60\00:14:35.00
Friends. We do not even know
most of the time what we pray
00:14:35.00\00:14:38.04
for
00:14:38.04\00:14:39.37
because we previewed the
selfish art and even our prayer
00:14:39.37\00:14:41.98
we need is leading in his
guidance. Even our prayer needs
00:14:41.98\00:14:45.45
to be surrendered to him.
00:14:45.45\00:14:47.35
Friends of one beautiful,
00:14:47.35\00:14:50.32
the Phoenician of prayer.
00:14:50.32\00:14:52.22
It is found in the book Living
by faith. This white and green
00:14:52.22\00:14:56.66
book.
00:14:56.66\00:14:57.86
It says here fence. What is
fair and what is the purpose
00:14:57.86\00:15:01.93
for which it is offered
00:15:01.93\00:15:04.87
and like the answer. It is the
expression of your consent to
00:15:04.87\00:15:08.60
what God is willing
and waiting to do for you.
00:15:08.60\00:15:12.84
Did you hear this?
It is the expression
00:15:12.84\00:15:17.11
of your consent of your wallet
00:15:17.11\00:15:20.28
of your consent to what God is
willing and weight thing to do
00:15:20.28\00:15:24.72
for you
00:15:24.72\00:15:26.02
and friends. Even part of the
prayer team. Sometimes I catch
00:15:26.02\00:15:29.39
myself
00:15:29.39\00:15:30.56
selling got a twisting the arm
of God. What needs to be done
00:15:30.56\00:15:35.00
offense. Do you think that God
already knows what he needs to
00:15:35.00\00:15:37.57
do?
00:15:37.57\00:15:40.30
I love the ax. From the
00:15:40.30\00:15:43.64
the example the story of doctor
Shin last night who among here
00:15:43.64\00:15:48.31
were blessed by
that message fence.
00:15:48.31\00:15:50.75
I went back home. I just I
but I was smiling to lying to
00:15:50.75\00:15:54.82
recall that message. And I want
to review that again. Friends
00:15:54.82\00:15:58.75
remember that
that that solution that
00:15:58.75\00:16:01.69
that they have in there try
and they just made a chair? Yes,
00:16:01.69\00:16:05.63
it's a nice chair,
00:16:05.63\00:16:07.50
but it could solve the problem.
00:16:07.50\00:16:09.53
And friends is just one
thing I see about prayers. Well,
00:16:09.53\00:16:13.10
it's a comfortable chair.
00:16:13.10\00:16:15.07
It's a cherub request,
00:16:15.07\00:16:17.17
but we do not really
know. We do not even see
00:16:17.17\00:16:22.01
how to maximize that.
This is how we maximize it
00:16:22.01\00:16:26.28
in instead of just asking
God to do this and do that.
00:16:26.28\00:16:30.12
Why not give God a consent
of what he decides to do?
00:16:30.12\00:16:34.06
Can you say Amen?
00:16:34.06\00:16:35.76
That is a very weak, amen.
00:16:35.76\00:16:38.03
I think if you're still
thinking that what you want to
00:16:38.03\00:16:40.83
do is far greater than what
God desires to do. My defense,
00:16:40.83\00:16:44.67
I'll tell you what
God decides for you
00:16:44.67\00:16:48.30
to have.
00:16:48.30\00:16:49.47
He's far greater than what you
decide for yourself or you for
00:16:49.47\00:16:52.37
your ministry.
00:16:52.37\00:16:56.31
Listen to this fence.
00:16:56.31\00:16:57.98
Let me continue on with
that thought. It says it is
00:16:57.98\00:17:00.32
expressing to God your
willingness to let him do for
00:17:00.32\00:17:03.28
you. What he wants to
00:17:03.28\00:17:05.12
it is not left for you to
instruct the Lord in regard to
00:17:05.12\00:17:07.92
what you need, your heavenly
father Knoweth what you need
00:17:07.92\00:17:10.86
before you even ask him
00:17:10.86\00:17:14.10
and he knows better. He knows
what you need much better than
00:17:14.10\00:17:18.40
yourself.
00:17:18.40\00:17:20.04
Do you think so?
00:17:20.04\00:17:21.67
I believe so. My dear
friends that God knows better.
00:17:21.67\00:17:27.04
And we know
00:17:27.04\00:17:29.01
enrollments a purse. 26
00:17:29.01\00:17:31.75
this verse.
00:17:31.75\00:17:33.65
He speaks truth
00:17:33.65\00:17:35.32
for. We do not know what
we should pray for arrests we
00:17:35.32\00:17:38.02
ought.
00:17:38.02\00:17:39.05
But the spirit himself
makes intercession for us with
00:17:39.05\00:17:42.52
groanings which
cannot be at that.
00:17:42.52\00:17:45.36
I like the translation
of the living Bible. It says
00:17:45.36\00:17:48.90
for we don't even know
what we should pray for
00:17:48.90\00:17:53.03
nor how to pray as we
should. But the holy Spirit
00:17:53.03\00:17:58.11
brace for us with such feeling
that it can be expressed in
00:17:58.11\00:18:02.74
words
00:18:02.74\00:18:04.28
offense.
00:18:04.28\00:18:06.28
And you see the desire that God
has for his people, even in our
00:18:06.28\00:18:10.49
prayer. He decides to teach us
00:18:10.49\00:18:12.72
he decides to lead as you
know why? Because we pray too
00:18:12.72\00:18:15.39
little.
00:18:15.39\00:18:17.13
We pray to little my defense
00:18:17.13\00:18:19.89
at first
00:18:19.89\00:18:21.70
before being a missionary.
I do not want to be a
00:18:21.70\00:18:24.13
missionary friends
because I wanted to be rich
00:18:24.13\00:18:27.67
and being a missionary
is not one of the ways to be
00:18:27.67\00:18:31.47
full feeling that the objective
00:18:31.47\00:18:33.31
and then I realized that
guy was looking at light.
00:18:33.31\00:18:37.01
But my dreams. Jen,
your genes are too short.
00:18:37.01\00:18:40.52
Shorten your height,
00:18:40.52\00:18:43.99
but my trains for you
00:18:43.99\00:18:46.29
to be fishers of men.
00:18:46.29\00:18:48.32
I'm a jeans for
used to be a missionary
00:18:48.32\00:18:50.73
in France. I never regretted
the decision and people tells
00:18:50.73\00:18:53.93
me, Jim, you
sacrifice a lot. I crazy.
00:18:53.93\00:18:58.33
If I was in that life before
I would not enjoy this life.
00:18:58.33\00:19:04.21
I would not have this much
adventure with. The boy did not
00:19:04.21\00:19:07.24
have peace in the midst of
the storm situations. But I had
00:19:07.24\00:19:10.95
friends.
00:19:10.95\00:19:12.45
We have to educate ourselves
to be fully on God. Can you say
00:19:12.45\00:19:15.72
amen to that
00:19:15.72\00:19:18.89
call to stand apart? I love
this one-liner here. It says
00:19:18.89\00:19:22.32
educate yourself to have
limited confidence in got
00:19:22.32\00:19:26.93
clout,
00:19:26.93\00:19:28.83
educate yourself to have lot
00:19:28.83\00:19:31.27
limited confidence
00:19:31.27\00:19:35.44
because this is our
God fence and chain in John
00:19:35.44\00:19:39.74
5.15, verse 5. It's S for
that. We need you can do what
00:19:39.74\00:19:45.38
nothing
00:19:45.38\00:19:46.58
and friends another verse here
that speaks of of the desire of
00:19:46.58\00:19:51.32
Jesus
00:19:51.32\00:19:53.19
of the secret of Jesus.
How he has this life of peace
00:19:53.19\00:19:57.56
is John Fivers 19.
00:19:57.56\00:20:00.53
It's s the son can
do nothing of himself
00:20:00.53\00:20:04.27
but want to see
if the father do.
00:20:04.27\00:20:06.70
And I'm thinking I was
quite confused with this verse.
00:20:06.70\00:20:09.77
The sun can do nothing of
himself into thinking Jesus is
00:20:09.77\00:20:13.34
a great their God lysee
declaring that he can do
00:20:13.34\00:20:15.91
nothing of himself.
00:20:15.91\00:20:18.58
I see the cheeses so surrendered
00:20:18.58\00:20:22.22
to do will add to
the power of his father.
00:20:22.22\00:20:24.75
And Jesus is showing us here
not just how to survive in life
00:20:24.75\00:20:29.32
but to thrive and
to be powerful in life.
00:20:29.32\00:20:32.23
Can you say amen to this fence,
00:20:32.23\00:20:34.63
friends? I looked it up.
00:20:34.63\00:20:36.46
And as the Bible commentary,
what does this mean can do
00:20:36.46\00:20:40.27
nothing of himself. And it says
here of himself literally from
00:20:40.27\00:20:44.74
himself. That is
by his own accord
00:20:44.74\00:20:49.04
on his own initiative
00:20:49.04\00:20:52.28
that blew my mind. France
00:20:52.28\00:20:54.62
Jesus could not do
anything on his own initiative.
00:20:54.62\00:20:59.09
He was so dependent on leaning
upon, got it in everything that
00:20:59.09\00:21:03.12
he does.
00:21:03.12\00:21:04.89
The defense fully up into one
00:21:04.89\00:21:06.83
who decides to direct us.
Pat, can you say amen to that?
00:21:06.83\00:21:10.47
So France,
00:21:10.47\00:21:11.93
it needs to be a
daily moment by moment.
00:21:11.93\00:21:16.04
Surrendering to the will of the
father, not just in times that
00:21:16.04\00:21:19.54
you need him the most
00:21:19.54\00:21:20.84
make it every single day
because if your eyes will be
00:21:20.84\00:21:23.51
open,
00:21:23.51\00:21:24.55
you will see that
you needed even now
00:21:24.55\00:21:29.22
listen to this. The son of
God was so surrendered to the
00:21:29.22\00:21:32.72
father's will and dependent
upon his power. So not only was
00:21:32.72\00:21:36.83
Christ emptied of self that
he made no plans for himself.
00:21:36.83\00:21:42.30
But listen to the next line
that he accepted God's plan for
00:21:42.30\00:21:45.83
him
00:21:45.83\00:21:47.04
and day by day the father and
folded his plants. So should we
00:21:47.04\00:21:52.61
depend upon got
00:21:52.61\00:21:54.48
that our lives may be the
simple outworking of his will
00:21:54.48\00:21:59.08
France. Can you imagine
00:21:59.08\00:22:01.08
how amazing life would be
00:22:01.08\00:22:03.35
if this is the
life that we should live
00:22:03.35\00:22:06.45
Christ has laid before us he
desires for you to experience
00:22:06.45\00:22:10.46
this
00:22:10.46\00:22:11.63
in France.
00:22:11.63\00:22:13.76
I love that.
00:22:13.76\00:22:15.36
The testimony of
00:22:15.36\00:22:17.30
Doctor Shannon last night
00:22:17.30\00:22:19.33
talking about
00:22:19.33\00:22:20.84
that patient
00:22:20.84\00:22:22.97
that got us. One thing for him
00:22:22.97\00:22:25.91
to come and speak. I have
so many experience of that.
00:22:25.91\00:22:29.51
And I just brushed off
00:22:29.51\00:22:31.81
the Holy Spirit's from thing.
00:22:31.81\00:22:34.02
But as I learned to lean upon,
00:22:34.02\00:22:38.62
he's leading his guidance.
That voice becomes clear.
00:22:38.62\00:22:42.42
I remember one time
we were in in Fresno.
00:22:42.42\00:22:45.83
We just finished a faith. Can't
00:22:45.83\00:22:47.96
and France.
00:22:47.96\00:22:49.93
When I'm in California,
00:22:49.93\00:22:51.87
I go and death look for haircut
because the haircut here is
00:22:51.87\00:22:55.80
cheaper compared to where
I am. And they're nice or so.
00:22:55.80\00:23:00.41
I was looking at stuff and
a friend of mine gave me 2,
00:23:00.41\00:23:04.48
2, stops, free tickets for a
haircut and thinking God is so
00:23:04.48\00:23:09.65
good. And this is quite an
expensive hair got friends.
00:23:09.65\00:23:12.72
So me and I for partner gave
Real sat there and what we were
00:23:12.72\00:23:15.49
sitting there, the Lord was
speaking to my heart. This is
00:23:15.49\00:23:18.46
not the place where you need
to be thinking. I was looking
00:23:18.46\00:23:21.66
around this. This is like a
generic, a sullen barbershop.
00:23:21.66\00:23:26.13
Nothing offensive. But the Lord
kept on speaking to my heart.
00:23:26.13\00:23:30.34
I was thinking
but Lourdes history.
00:23:30.34\00:23:33.07
I was trying to argue.
00:23:33.07\00:23:34.94
But those from thing was so
strong. I do get games. Let's
00:23:34.94\00:23:37.95
get out. So why is that? I
do not have beast being here.
00:23:37.95\00:23:41.55
So when we were out, you said
so. Do you know what you want
00:23:41.55\00:23:45.05
to go? I don't know. So wish we
should be goes that let's go to
00:23:45.05\00:23:47.92
the car and great.
00:23:47.92\00:23:49.62
Well, we're praying. I was
asking Lord, there's so many
00:23:49.62\00:23:53.19
barbershops here.
00:23:53.19\00:23:54.83
Where do you want us to go?
And all of a sudden I saw this
00:23:54.83\00:23:57.77
name really popped out, can
cots and promoting him right
00:23:57.77\00:24:00.84
now,
00:24:00.84\00:24:01.94
Ken Cuts.
00:24:01.94\00:24:03.27
So the Lord brought us there
00:24:03.27\00:24:05.44
and the moment we are right
there, by the way, fence in the
00:24:05.44\00:24:07.54
first barbershop.
There's no one waiting.
00:24:07.54\00:24:10.11
It's just supposed to be me
00:24:10.11\00:24:12.28
and gay and that second shop
when we arrived trends, there's
00:24:12.28\00:24:16.48
like 7 people who are waiting.
00:24:16.48\00:24:20.69
And so we waited.
00:24:20.69\00:24:22.26
And when it was our
turn, it was Gabe who came and
00:24:22.26\00:24:26.80
had his hair got and I notice
something won't can was cutting
00:24:26.80\00:24:30.50
his hair.
00:24:30.50\00:24:31.77
Ken will stop and look
at him and their hair cut.
00:24:31.77\00:24:35.47
I was like 30 minutes. It
was the longest hair got along
00:24:35.47\00:24:40.18
the rest who are waiting and
thinking, oh, lord, I'm getting
00:24:40.18\00:24:42.28
self-conscious here.
Maybe people will complain
00:24:42.28\00:24:45.11
that gave. And and Ken,
it's taking so much time. But I
00:24:45.11\00:24:49.05
overhear the conversation.
And by the way, fences,
00:24:49.05\00:24:51.75
Vietnamese,
00:24:51.75\00:24:53.56
and that's I'm working good
00:24:53.56\00:24:55.39
with ASAP. We work with Saudi
stations. So I have a burden
00:24:55.39\00:24:59.36
for people who are on
the other side and did so.
00:24:59.36\00:25:02.76
Gabor's conversation with him
is about got and now it was my
00:25:02.76\00:25:06.10
turn when I sat down said so
what type of hair cut the yuan
00:25:06.10\00:25:09.64
and they showed him the picture
there in your program. That was
00:25:09.64\00:25:12.04
the pictures. Gentlemen's hair
got your pastors and NOAA and
00:25:12.04\00:25:15.74
at a faster and faster. So
00:25:15.74\00:25:18.95
so fence
00:25:18.95\00:25:20.45
he gave me a haircut.
00:25:20.45\00:25:22.55
He told me. So I
heard if you're a missionary
00:25:22.55\00:25:25.52
and then frontal
00:25:25.52\00:25:28.12
the conversation was precious.
00:25:28.12\00:25:30.96
He talked about God.
00:25:30.96\00:25:32.89
He thought about the Bible.
And, you know, Vietnamese are
00:25:32.89\00:25:34.93
mostly not Christians. But this
man is so desiring to know more
00:25:34.93\00:25:38.73
about about the Bible and
fence. He has read the Bible
00:25:38.73\00:25:42.07
from cover to cover.
00:25:42.07\00:25:44.61
And I told him
again this amazing.
00:25:44.61\00:25:47.84
So he asked me some more
questions. And he told me I
00:25:47.84\00:25:50.55
think my son is a missionary to
because he loves to do work in
00:25:50.55\00:25:53.92
the church entrance. Make a
long story short. We ended the
00:25:53.92\00:25:57.35
haircut and I was about to pay
and he was behind the counter.
00:25:57.35\00:26:01.82
And now I took my card and
I'm about to give it to him.
00:26:01.82\00:26:04.99
And then he lists that
both of us and said, no,
00:26:04.99\00:26:08.93
it's OK, no, no, no, no.
It's both of us here. And I was
00:26:08.93\00:26:14.07
I told him, no, just
continue doing God's work
00:26:14.07\00:26:19.41
and France. I told him,
can I please pray for you?
00:26:19.41\00:26:23.91
So I put my hand on the
shoulder and prayed for him and
00:26:23.91\00:26:27.45
friends. The moment I said a
man I could see this piece and
00:26:27.45\00:26:31.49
his face.
00:26:31.49\00:26:34.29
I know this will not be the
last time. We want to come back
00:26:34.29\00:26:36.49
here and give you some books
and shook his head. I actually
00:26:36.49\00:26:39.79
said going to give you a hug.
So I hugged him. And when he
00:26:39.79\00:26:42.26
shook, Gabriel said
people get real and hug him
00:26:42.26\00:26:46.30
friends. The moment we left
that place, we left that place.
00:26:46.30\00:26:49.74
We were just beaming
with smaller thinking
00:26:49.74\00:26:53.04
we could have free
hair caught on the other end
00:26:53.04\00:26:56.81
but it would not have been
us amazing. Is this an account
00:26:56.81\00:27:00.72
because here we
knew that God led U.S.
00:27:00.72\00:27:03.79
France. It is such
00:27:03.79\00:27:06.22
powerful, amazing experience.
When you see God leading your
00:27:06.22\00:27:09.62
life, can you say amen to that?
00:27:09.62\00:27:11.89
Fred's it says here the battle
which we have to fight the
00:27:11.89\00:27:14.83
greatest that the less ever
fought by men is the surrender
00:27:14.83\00:27:18.47
of self to the will of God,
00:27:18.47\00:27:21.57
France
00:27:21.57\00:27:23.14
here. I see that the more
00:27:23.14\00:27:25.91
we hold back from
giving in to the will of got
00:27:25.91\00:27:29.48
we hold back
ourselves from experiencing
00:27:29.48\00:27:32.85
wonderful piece of
he desires to give us
00:27:32.85\00:27:35.55
and a wonderful joy.
00:27:35.55\00:27:37.22
And I love the key point.
The second key point of doctor
00:27:37.22\00:27:40.02
Shin last night and he said the
disciples experience increased
00:27:40.02\00:27:43.43
faith and success
00:27:43.43\00:27:45.16
when they labored
under Chee says direction
00:27:45.16\00:27:51.30
and this labor that we have,
00:27:51.30\00:27:53.27
the Lord is not to sign this
for you to do it on your own.
00:27:53.27\00:27:57.27
He decides to lead
us every step of the way
00:27:57.27\00:27:59.61
and it is ice
to do this with you
00:27:59.61\00:28:02.51
continually doing it with
you in his presence wherever you
00:28:02.51\00:28:05.48
go.
00:28:05.48\00:28:06.51
Can you say amen to that?
00:28:06.51\00:28:08.68
Lastly, fence that like to
read this as few quotes, Jesus
00:28:08.68\00:28:12.52
invites us to
accept his presence.
00:28:12.52\00:28:15.29
We are to open the door
of the heart and let him in.
00:28:15.29\00:28:18.99
But he will not
share divided heart
00:28:18.99\00:28:22.70
if it given. If it be
given to the service of madmen
00:28:22.70\00:28:26.17
selfishness and pride feels the
chambers, there will be no room
00:28:26.17\00:28:29.97
for the heavenly gets. People
not take up his abode with us
00:28:29.97\00:28:34.01
until the sole temple has been
emptied and plants yet there is
00:28:34.01\00:28:38.35
no need of making a failure in
the life of Christ. There is no
00:28:38.35\00:28:43.02
need to making a failure and
the life of Christ. Can you say
00:28:43.02\00:28:45.79
amen to that? France?
00:28:45.79\00:28:48.29
Jesus is waiting to do a great
work for us and all have been
00:28:48.29\00:28:53.26
it's interested
00:28:53.26\00:28:54.83
without salvation.
00:28:54.83\00:28:57.40
Last quote,
00:28:57.40\00:28:58.80
testimonies volume 2,
00:28:58.80\00:29:01.14
Jesus will not force
00:29:01.14\00:29:04.91
opened the door.
00:29:04.91\00:29:06.51
You must open it yourselves
and show that you desire. He's
00:29:06.51\00:29:10.61
precedence but
giving him a sincere welcome
00:29:10.61\00:29:15.68
France as we end this
devotional this morning.
00:29:15.68\00:29:19.95
Can we pray in our hearts?
Lloyd? Please teach me how to
00:29:19.95\00:29:24.69
sincerely welcome you
00:29:24.69\00:29:27.36
piecemeal voted to
give in to your will
00:29:27.36\00:29:29.86
the way Jesus given to you.
00:29:29.86\00:29:32.67
Let's new dawn for the pair.
00:29:32.67\00:29:34.97
A great gathered 11. Have

00:29:46.05\00:29:49.42
lord. I pray
00:29:49.42\00:29:51.05

00:29:51.05\00:29:53.19
to pray. The prayer may you
will be done and Lord made not
00:29:53.19\00:29:56.99
just the words in her mouth,
but this will be the design of
00:29:56.99\00:29:59.79
our hearts
00:29:59.79\00:30:01.10
that we will desire to do.
You will the way Jesus was some
00:30:01.10\00:30:03.90
sort of to do. You will not.
00:30:03.90\00:30:06.94
Yes. And very specially in
even as we choose the groups,
00:30:06.94\00:30:12.27
the prayer partners that
we will be walking would after
00:30:12.27\00:30:15.44
this to stop Lloyd. I pray
dear father that it will be your
00:30:15.44\00:30:19.05
choice and not our choice.
00:30:19.05\00:30:21.25
Lead us not into wait
if you desire for us to go
00:30:21.25\00:30:24.39
and lead us into
the way everlasting.
00:30:24.39\00:30:26.86
Yes. All this in a loving
and precious name of your son.
00:30:26.86\00:30:29.19
Jesus on your children. Safe
