Welcome back!
00:00:13.70\00:00:14.67
Edwin I want to
thank you for joining us.
00:00:14.68\00:00:16.86
Your Ministry is
Our Higher Calling.
00:00:16.89\00:00:18.59
We have interviewed, on
this season, a number of
00:00:18.62\00:00:22.01
people in your
Ministry, today two of you,
00:00:22.05\00:00:23.92
with you and Siki.
00:00:23.95\00:00:24.92
I would like to say a
little bit more about what was
00:00:24.93\00:00:30.63
shared today with us
and then close in prayer.
00:00:30.67\00:00:33.51
Would that be are right?
00:00:33.55\00:00:34.52
Amen, well as a Ministry
I just want to let you know
00:00:34.53\00:00:37.12
that you can have victory
00:00:37.15\00:00:39.12
in your life.
00:00:39.16\00:00:40.14
Because a lot of us came from
a background where you would
00:00:40.17\00:00:43.29
think that you couldn't
even get out of the situation
00:00:43.32\00:00:46.41
that you are in.
00:00:46.44\00:00:47.41
You feel that way
sometimes, but Jesus can do this
00:00:47.42\00:00:50.12
for you if you will just
give your heart to Him and
00:00:50.15\00:00:52.86
allow Him to take over.
00:00:52.89\00:00:54.44
He wants to.
00:00:54.47\00:00:55.70
He wants to and
He definitely can.
00:00:55.73\00:00:57.53
People think
that He can't do it.
00:00:57.57\00:00:59.30
You know you think that
because I have been doing this
00:00:59.33\00:01:01.57
all my life, or I have
been in this situation all my
00:01:01.60\00:01:03.80
life and it is impossible,
00:01:03.83\00:01:05.08
but with Him all
things are possible.
00:01:05.12\00:01:06.92
You just have to give it to
Him and let Him take control.
00:01:06.96\00:01:09.94
Alright so pray for us.
00:01:09.97\00:01:11.33
Let's have a prayer.
00:01:11.37\00:01:12.69
Heavenly Father, we thank
You because You have given us
00:01:13.80\00:01:17.42
the opportunity to
share our testimonies to those
00:01:17.46\00:01:20.97
who are in need.
00:01:21.00\00:01:22.19
We asked Oh Lord, that as
we continue on in our Ministry
00:01:22.22\00:01:26.71
that we reach those
Father who are in need.
00:01:26.75\00:01:29.72
Those who are listening and
those who are hearing Father,
00:01:29.75\00:01:32.47
and let them understand
as the word of God says,
00:01:32.50\00:01:35.24
that Your Son,
Jesus Christ, as a man,
00:01:35.27\00:01:37.44
learned obedience
through suffering.
00:01:37.47\00:01:39.57
We ask Father, You teach
them through the suffering
00:01:39.60\00:01:42.24
they are going through,
the obedience that Your Son,
00:01:42.28\00:01:45.21
Jesus Christ had and that
You give them victory over
00:01:45.25\00:01:48.55
any sin that they are
involved, or any addiction that
00:01:48.58\00:01:51.77
You will show them You
really are the way, the truth,
00:01:51.80\00:01:54.79
and the life, just like
Jesus Christ said He was.
00:01:54.83\00:01:57.75
Thank you for everything
that You have done, bless us,
00:01:57.78\00:02:00.09
and bless those who
are listening and watching.
00:02:00.12\00:02:01.97
In Jesus name we pray, Amen!
00:02:02.01\00:02:04.72
You know it is really
fun to me because when Edwin
00:02:04.76\00:02:08.52
talks about God just help
them with addiction and that
00:02:08.55\00:02:12.11
stuff, what is really amazing
is the more I get into the
00:02:12.15\00:02:15.27
word of God it says that
He delights in our healing.
00:02:15.31\00:02:18.90
Isaiah 57:17 says, that
I delight in your healing.
00:02:18.93\00:02:22.48
I see that you are a mess.
00:02:22.52\00:02:24.07
I know where you struggle,
I know the fact that with
00:02:24.10\00:02:27.80
my mom, try to self
abort six different times.
00:02:27.84\00:02:30.69
She was 14 years
old when she had me
00:02:30.72\00:02:32.39
and did know a thing.
00:02:32.42\00:02:33.57
So she couldn't
teach me anything.
00:02:33.60\00:02:34.92
So when I step in front
of God I don't know anything.
00:02:34.96\00:02:38.07
When somebody says I just
want you to love each other.
00:02:38.11\00:02:41.18
I don't know what that means.
00:02:41.22\00:02:42.54
God says, I am
excited to teach you.
00:02:42.57\00:02:45.37
I want to step into your life.
00:02:45.41\00:02:46.98
I want to change
everything and take every lie,
00:02:47.01\00:02:51.73
every addiction, every
twisted thing that you have
00:02:51.77\00:02:55.67
learned to like and I
want to free you from that.
00:02:55.71\00:02:58.93
What is really interesting
is that as He frees us,
00:02:58.97\00:03:02.15
as He's teaching me not
to lie and manipulate, I feel
00:03:02.19\00:03:05.34
like a weight has
fallen off from me.
00:03:05.37\00:03:07.37
As He teaches me
to laugh out loud,
00:03:07.40\00:03:09.36
not over somebody falling,
00:03:09.40\00:03:11.20
but over just good stuff.
00:03:11.23\00:03:12.97
As He teaches me to get
outside and take a deep breath,
00:03:13.00\00:03:15.45
I just realize that I
have wanted to breathe
00:03:15.48\00:03:18.66
my whole life.
00:03:18.70\00:03:19.77
I didn't even know how, did
you know I wasn't breathing.
00:03:19.80\00:03:22.87
I think what I do that all
of heaven just says look at
00:03:22.90\00:03:25.93
her, she is actually growing.
00:03:25.96\00:03:28.42
I hope that for you,
I hope you have the same
00:03:28.46\00:03:32.05
experience that you
saw Siki have an Edwin have
00:03:32.09\00:03:35.61
where God stepped in and
stepped into situations where
00:03:35.65\00:03:39.31
they were a little
twisted, little dark,
00:03:39.34\00:03:41.87
seemed overwhelming and
little by little these guys
00:03:41.90\00:03:45.82
stood up and realize not
only can they get their own
00:03:45.86\00:03:49.74
freedom but there
are people in bondage.
00:03:49.78\00:03:52.56
There are people strung out.
00:03:52.60\00:03:53.90
There are people that
don't know that they have
00:03:53.94\00:03:56.36
the ability to step
out of these addictions
00:03:56.39\00:03:58.78
all over the world.
00:03:58.82\00:04:00.01
All of these men from
this ministry said that they
00:04:00.05\00:04:03.45
don't care where you send
me, God send me there because
00:04:03.48\00:04:06.37
I want to tell them that
there is freedom in Christ.
00:04:06.40\00:04:09.26
I don't care what 12
step program you are on,
00:04:09.29\00:04:11.39
I don't care what
program you belong to.
00:04:11.42\00:04:13.85
I don't care if what you
are doing with your recovery,
00:04:13.89\00:04:17.33
if you are not
handing it over to God,
00:04:17.36\00:04:19.36
I think
eventually you will trip up.
00:04:19.40\00:04:21.33
I can't within myself
pull anything good out,
00:04:21.36\00:04:24.70
I can't it is not in there.
00:04:24.73\00:04:26.49
I am a manipulator.
00:04:26.53\00:04:28.17
I am damaged and God is not.
00:04:28.21\00:04:30.29
God says, trust Me step
over here and not only will I
00:04:30.33\00:04:33.93
give you everything from Me,
00:04:33.96\00:04:35.94
I will give you the
ability to feel what it feels
00:04:35.97\00:04:38.54
like to be honest.
00:04:38.58\00:04:39.75
To feel what it
feels like to be alive
00:04:39.79\00:04:41.65
and not strung out.
00:04:41.68\00:04:42.65
I'm like, I love that, and
want that, and I accept that.
00:04:42.66\00:04:46.47
So God bless you,
and try Him, trust Him.
00:04:46.50\00:04:50.68
See you next week.
00:04:50.71\00:04:51.93
