AN INTERESTING STUDY AND
BEAUTIFUL STUDY IN ACTS AND
00:00:47.28\00:00:50.48
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
THE FOUR GREATS IN ACTS.
00:00:50.48\00:00:54.25
IT WAS THE GREAT COMISSION AND
THE GREAT COMMAND WHICH WAS TO
00:00:54.25\00:00:58.59
WAIT UNTIL YOU RECEIVE THE
GREAT PROMISE, WHICH IS THE HOLY
00:00:58.59\00:01:02.96
SPIRIT AND THEN
THERE IS THE GREAT HOPE.
00:01:02.96\00:01:06.90
JUST LIVING EVERY DAY,
REMEMBERING THAT JESUS CHRIST IS
00:01:06.90\00:01:10.47
RETURNING SOON AND RIGHT ABOUT

YOU NEED TO GET BACK UP HERE.
BUT DARYL WILL SING FOR US, "WHO
00:01:26.88\00:01:32.75
AM I." ¤ WHEN I
THINK OF HOW HE CAME
00:01:32.75\00:01:57.08
FAR FROM GLORY ¤ ¤ HE
CAME AND TO SUFFER SHAME
00:01:57.08\00:02:20.24
AND SUCH DISGRACE ON
MY CALVARY TAKE MY PLACE ¤
00:02:20.24\00:02:32.18
¤ I ASK MYSELF
THIS QUESTION WHO AM I ¤
00:02:32.18\00:02:47.50
¤ WHO AM I THAT A KING
WOULD LEAD AND DIE FOR ¤
00:02:47.50\00:02:56.81
¤ WHO AM I THAT HE WOULD BRING
NOT MY WILL BUT THINE FOR ¤
00:02:56.81\00:03:13.39
¤ THE ANSWER I MAY NEVER
KNOW WHY HE EVER LOVED ME SO ¤
00:03:13.39\00:03:26.07
¤ THAT TRUE AND OLD RUGGED
CROSS HE WOULD GO FOR WHO AM I ¤
00:03:26.07\00:03:39.38
¤ WHEN I'M REMINDED OF THESE
PRECIOUS WORDS JESUS SAID,  HE
00:03:39.38\00:03:54.60
SAID IF YOU BE TRUE, I'LL
GIVE YOU TO YOU A LIFE FOREVER ¤
00:03:54.60\00:04:06.54
¤ I DON'T KNOW WHAT I COULD HAVE
DONE TO DESERVE GOD'S ONLY SON ¤
00:04:06.54\00:04:22.92
¤ HE'LL FIGHT ALL OF MY BATTLES
UNTIL THEY'RE WON FOR AM I ¤
00:04:22.92\00:04:37.74
¤ WHO AM I THAT THAT HE
WOULD HE WOULD DIE FOR ¤
00:04:37.74\00:04:49.95
¤ WHO AM I THAT HE WOULD
PRAY NOT MY WILL BUT THINE FOR ¤
00:04:49.95\00:05:04.27
¤ THE ANSWER IS I MAY NEVER
KNOW WHY HE EVER LOVED ME SO ¤
00:05:04.27\00:05:17.48
¤ THAT'S WHO AN OLD RUGGED
CROSS, HE WOULD GO TO AN OLD
00:05:17.48\00:05:27.96
RUGGED CROSS HE WOULD GO, TO AN
OLD RUGGED CROSS HE WOULD GO FOR

WHO AM I ¤ ¤ WHO AM I ¤
00:05:39.73\00:05:50.35

>> WHAT A SONG. WHAT
A QUESTION, WHO ARE WE?

WE SHOULD SAY THIS EVERY
TIME WE GO OUT TO MINISTER.
00:06:07.76\00:06:11.53
YOU ARE WORTH NOTHING LESS TO
GOD THAN THE PRICE THAT HE PAID
00:06:11.53\00:06:15.00
FOR YOU AND THAT IS WITH THE
PRECIOUS BLOOD OF HIS SON JESUS
00:06:15.00\00:06:18.87

WE DON'T WANT TO TAKE ANY --

00:07:08.92\00:07:15.06
US HOW THESE FOUR GREATS
FROM ACTS ARE ACTUALLY THEY'RE
00:07:15.06\00:07:20.60
MIRRORED IN THE OLD TEST
TAPLT. LET'S TALK ABOUT IT.
00:07:20.60\00:07:23.51
>> YEAH, IT'S QUITE AN
INTERESTING STUDY IF YOU COMPARE
00:07:23.51\00:07:27.44
THE BOOK OF ACTS AND
THE BOOK OF JOES WHAT.
00:07:27.44\00:07:30.65
THE BOOK OF JOSHUA IS IN A WAY
THE VERSION OF THE BOOK OF ACTS
00:07:30.65\00:07:36.85
IN THE OLD TESTAMENT. WE
CAN SEE THERE AS WELL THE
00:07:36.85\00:07:41.86
FOUR GREATS. THE FOUR GREATS.
00:07:41.86\00:07:46.29
THE FOUR GREATS ARE WE WE WE CAN
START WITH THE GREAT COMMAND,
00:07:46.29\00:07:51.17
STAY AND THE GREAT COMISSION,
THE GREAT PROMISE AND GREAT
00:07:51.17\00:07:55.84
COMISSION AND THE GREAT HOPE.
THE GREAT COMMAND IS TO STAY AND
00:07:55.84\00:08:00.98
THE GREAT HOPE -- THE GREAT
PROMISE IS TO RECEIVE THE POWER
00:08:00.98\00:08:06.48
OF GOD AND THE
GREAT COMISSION IS TO GO.
00:08:06.48\00:08:14.06
AND THAT WILL BRING
US TO THE GREAT HOPE.
00:08:14.06\00:08:16.32
LET'S SEE THAT IN THE BOOK OF
JOSHUA WE CAN SEE THAT AS WELL.
00:08:16.32\00:08:23.30
CHAPTER ONE ALREADY IN VERSE
ONE, VERSE ONE AND VERSE TWO, IF
00:08:23.30\00:08:30.27
SOMEONE CAN READ THAT SO
THAT WE ARE STUDYING TOGETHER.
00:08:30.27\00:08:35.04
AND VERSE TWO TALKS
ABOUT ONE OF THE GREATS.
00:08:35.04\00:08:37.35
ONE OF THE GREATS, YES.
>> NOW, AFTER THE DEATH OF
00:08:37.35\00:08:41.38
MOSES, THE SERVE SRABT OF THE
LORD, IT CAME TO PASS THAT THE
00:08:41.38\00:08:46.55
LORD SPOKE UNTO JOSHUA THE SON
OF MAN SAYING, MOSES MY SERVE
00:08:46.55\00:08:53.43
SRAPT IS DEAD NOW THEREFORE
ARISE AND GO OVER TO ALL THE
00:08:53.43\00:08:58.43
PEOPLE AND THE LAND WHICH I DO
GIVE TO THEM EVEN TO THE CHURCH
00:08:58.43\00:09:02.97
OF ISRAEL. >> YES.
00:09:02.97\00:09:05.54
NOW, WHAT DO WE SEE
HERE? ESPECIALLY IN VERSE TWO?
00:09:05.54\00:09:13.45
AND MOSES NOW
THEREFORE ARISE AND GO.
00:09:13.45\00:09:36.40
THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL ALREADY
RECEIVED THIS BEFORE BUT IT WAS
00:09:36.40\00:09:41.18
RENEWED TO JOSHUA AS WELL.
SO WE CAN SEE HERE ONE OF THE
00:09:41.18\00:09:46.85
FOUR GREATS ALREADY,
THE GREAT COMISSION GO.
00:09:46.85\00:09:50.92
GO. AND THEN WE
WILL FIND OUT IF WE
00:09:50.92\00:09:54.19
HAVE THE GREAT PROMISE
HERE, THE GREAT PROMISE.
00:09:54.19\00:09:57.96
CAN WE READ VERSE
THREE TO VERSE FIVE?
00:09:57.96\00:10:02.66
>> EVERY PLACE AT THE SOLE
OF YOUR FOOT HAVE TREAD UPON I
00:10:02.66\00:10:06.63
GIVEN TO YOU FROM THE WILDERNESS
AND THIS LEBANON AS FAR AS THE
00:10:06.63\00:10:12.34
GREAT RIVER, THE RIVER AOU 
AOU FRAY TEASE SHALL BE YOUR
00:10:12.34\00:10:21.15
TERRITORY. NO MAN
SHALL BE ABLE TO STAND
00:10:21.15\00:10:23.42
BEFORE YOU ALL THE DAYS OF YOUR
LIVES AS I WAS WITH MOSES SO I
00:10:23.42\00:10:29.66
WILL BE WITH YOU. I WILL
NOT LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE
00:10:29.66\00:10:35.23
YOU. AMEN.
00:10:35.23\00:10:47.84
>> AND NO MAN SHALLING ABLE TO
STAND BEFORE YOU ALL THE DAYS OF
00:10:47.84\00:10:51.05
YOUR LIFE. AND THEN
THE GREAT HOPE OF THE
00:10:51.05\00:10:59.92
CHILDREN OF
ISRAEL. WHAT WAS THAT?
00:10:59.92\00:11:06.26
WAS IT TO BE IN THE LAND.
IF WE READ THE REST OF THE
00:11:06.26\00:11:12.23
CHAPTER AND THE REST OF THE
CHAPTER TWO AND CHAPTER THREE
00:11:12.23\00:11:16.50
INDEED, THERE
WAS THAT GREAT HOPE.
00:11:16.50\00:11:19.94
THAT IS THE PROMISED LAND, THE
PROMISE LAND THAT IS THE GREAT
00:11:19.94\00:11:25.68
PROMISE OF THE BLESSED HOPE FOR
THEM FROM EGYPT TO LEAVE NOW IN
00:11:25.68\00:11:33.25
THE LAND. ALL ALONG
THEY LEAD AND WE FOUND
00:11:33.25\00:11:43.33
THE GREAT THREE ALREADY.
THE GREAT COMISSION, THE GREAT
00:11:43.33\00:11:48.34
PROMISE AND THE
GREAT HOPE TO LEAD.
00:11:48.34\00:11:54.58
NOW LET'S LOOK
FOR THE GREAT COMMAND.
00:11:54.58\00:11:58.88
GREAT COMMAND.
LET'S GO TO CHAPTER THREE.
00:11:58.88\00:12:04.55
WE KNOW ALREADY THAT WHEN JOSHUA
RECEIVED THAT -- THE THREE HERE,
00:12:04.55\00:12:11.29
HE TALKED TO THE OFFICERS AND
THEN THE OFFICERS AND HIM TALKED
00:12:11.29\00:12:15.83
TO THE PEOPLE AND IN CHAPTER
THREE OF THE BOOK OF JOSHUA, WE
00:12:15.83\00:12:21.37
CAN READ VERSE
ONE TO VERSE FIVE.
00:12:21.37\00:12:26.24
>> THEN JOSHUA ROSE EARLY IN THE
MORNING AND THEY SET OUT FROM A
00:12:26.24\00:12:30.38
GROVE AND CAME TO THE JORDAN
AND HE AND ALL THE CHILDREN OF
00:12:30.38\00:12:34.55
ISRAEL LODGED THERE
BEFORE THEY CROSSED OVER.
00:12:34.55\00:12:36.82
SO IT WAS AFTER THREE DAYS THAT
THE OFFICERS WENT THROUGH THE
00:12:36.82\00:12:41.26
CAMP AND THEY COMMANDED THE
PEOPLE SAYING, WHEN YOU SEE THE
00:12:41.26\00:12:45.53
ARC OF THE COVENANT AND THE
LARGER GOD THEN YOU SHALL SET
00:12:45.53\00:12:51.30
OUT FROM YOUR
PLACE AND GO AFTER IT.
00:12:51.30\00:12:54.80
YET THERE SHALL BE A SPACE
BETWEEN YOU AND IT ABOUT 2000
00:12:54.80\00:13:00.64
CUBEITS BY MEASURE. DO
NOT COME NEAR THAT YOU MAY
00:13:00.64\00:13:04.98
KNOW THE WAY YOU WILL GO FOR YOU
HAVE NOT PASSED THIS WAY BEFORE.
00:13:04.98\00:13:09.25
AND JOSHUA SAID TO THE
PEOPLE, SANCTIFY YOURSELVES.
00:13:09.25\00:13:15.72
FOR TOMORROW THE LORD
WILL DO WONDERS AMONG YOU.
00:13:15.72\00:13:19.29
AMEN. >> THIS IS
THE GREAT COMMAND.
00:13:19.29\00:13:23.97
YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE BEEN IN
THE DESERT FOR 40 YEARS SO THE
00:13:23.97\00:13:29.47
LOGICAL THING IS THAT -- JUST TO
JUMP AND TO GO AND CONQUER THE
00:13:29.47\00:13:37.28
LAND. BUT BEFORE
DOING THAT THEY MUST
00:13:37.28\00:13:41.95
CAMP FOR THREE DAYS.
THEY MUST STAY AND RECEIVE THE
00:13:41.95\00:14:08.84
POWER FROM ABOVE. >>
THAT PARALLELS WHAT JESUS
00:14:08.84\00:14:11.11
TOLD HIS DISCIPLES IS TO WAIT IN
JERUSALEM UNTIL YOU RECEIVE THE
00:14:11.11\00:14:16.58
POWER AND HOLY SPIRIT
AND PROMISE OF THE LORD.
00:14:16.58\00:14:33.67
>> HE SAYS SANCTIFY YOURSELF AND
DEDICATE YOUR LIFE TO GOD AND
00:14:33.67\00:14:39.41
SEARCH YOUR HEART BECAUSE
TOMORROW THE LORD WILL DO
00:14:39.41\00:14:44.01
WANTEDERS TO YOU. HE
SAID HERE, DO NOT COME THAT
00:14:44.01\00:14:50.09
YOU MAY NOT KNOW THE
WAY BY WHICH YOU MUST GO.
00:14:50.09\00:14:54.26
FOR YOU HAVE NOT
PASSED THIS WAY BEFORE.
00:14:54.26\00:14:58.66
AND THAT PRESENTS OUR LIFE.
YOU KNOW OUR FUTURE WE HAVE
00:14:58.66\00:15:02.20
NEVER BEEN INTO OUR FUTURE.
WE HAVE NEVER BEEN INTO OUR
00:15:02.20\00:15:23.22
FUTURE. IF IT IS
NEEDED THEN YOU CAN
00:15:23.22\00:15:27.76
CREATE CIRCUMSTANCES. SO
WE HAVE THIS UNKNOWN, UNKNOWN
00:15:27.76\00:15:32.49
BEFORE US. THAT'S
WHY WE NEED TO WAIT.
00:15:32.49\00:15:35.86
WE NEED TO SPEND
TIME WITH THE LORD.
00:15:35.86\00:15:38.43
FOR US TO KNOW HIS WILL
AND THAT WAS THE GREAT COMMAND.
00:15:38.43\00:15:45.11
SO, IN OUR PERSONAL
LIVES, WE NEED NOT TO OMIT THIS.
00:15:45.11\00:15:49.61
THIS SHOULD NOT BE THE GREAT
OMISSION BUT THE GREAT COMMAND.
00:15:49.61\00:15:54.98
THAT ALL OF US PERSONALLY AS A
FAMILY AND ALSO CORPORATELY AS A
00:15:54.98\00:16:02.79
CHURCH, WE NEED TO STAY BECAUSE
BEFORE WE DEPART WE MUST STAY
00:16:02.79\00:16:10.17
AND THAT IS THE STAYING PART.
SO WE SEE THEN THAT THE CHILDREN
00:16:10.17\00:16:15.20
OF ISRAEL FOLLOW THAT.
IN CHAPTER FOUR WE COULD SEE
00:16:15.20\00:16:27.85
THAT GOD HAS OPERATED MIRACLES,
THE JORDAN RIVER WAS DIVIDED AND
00:16:27.85\00:16:35.32
THEN IN VERSE 11 CHAPTER FOUR
VERSE 11 THEN IT CAME TO PASS
00:16:35.32\00:16:50.34
AND THE PRIEST CROSSED OVER
IN THE PRESENCE OF THE PEOPLE.
00:16:50.34\00:16:53.34
SO THEY CROSSED OVER THE JORDAN
RIVER AND NOW THEY SET FOOT IN
00:16:53.34\00:17:03.39
THE CANNON LAND AND THAT WAS THE
PROMISE LAND AND THE GREAT HOPE
00:17:03.39\00:17:08.39
TO BE THERE THAT REPRESENTS AS
WELL OUR HEAVENLY CANNON FOR US
00:17:08.39\00:17:14.36
AND JESUS CHRIST TO
COME. THAT IS THE GREAT HOPE.
00:17:14.36\00:17:21.30
THEY FOLLOWED TO THE LETTER
WHAT GOD ASKED THEM TO DO.
00:17:21.30\00:17:45.56
THEN WE CAN GO BACK
TO THE NEW TESTAMENT NOW.
00:17:45.56\00:17:49.60
FOR US FOR THE FOUR GREATS TO BE
PART OF OUR LIVES AS INDIVIDUALS
00:17:49.60\00:17:56.17
AND FAMILIES AND AS A GROUP AS
A CHURCH HOW TO DO THAT AND HERE
00:17:56.17\00:18:07.92
WE TALK ABOUT PRAYER >>
IT CAME TO PASS AS HE WAS
00:18:07.92\00:18:41.38
PRAYING IN A CERTAIN PLACE WHEN
HE CEASED, ONE OF HIS DISCIPLES
00:18:41.38\00:18:45.52
SAID TO HIM, LORD, TEACH US
TO PRAY AS JOHN ALSO TAUGHT HIS
00:18:45.52\00:18:54.36
DISCIPLES. >> SO, WE
SEE HERE THE CONTEXT.
00:18:54.36\00:19:00.64
WHEN IT CAME TO PASS AS HE
WAS PRAYING IN A CERTAIN PLACE,
00:19:00.64\00:19:09.08
JESUS CHRIST IS THE
MODEL OF THE STAYING.
00:19:09.08\00:19:14.65
YOU SEE 40 DAYS BEFORE HE
STARTED HIS PUBLIC MINISTRY HE
00:19:14.65\00:19:22.86
STRAIGHT. BEFORE HE
STARTED, HE SPENT THAT
00:19:22.86\00:19:27.23
40 DAYS PRAYING AND FASTING.
IN MARK CHAPTER ONE VERSE 55,
00:19:27.23\00:19:46.65
MARK CHAPTER ONE VERSE 35, MAYBE
WE CAN READ THAT JUST TO REFRESH
00:19:46.65\00:19:52.52
OUR MEMORIES. IF
SOMEONE COULD READ WE COULD
00:19:52.52\00:19:58.69
SEE THE WAITING
MOMENT FOR JESUS CHRIST.
00:19:58.69\00:20:03.30
>> NOW IN THE MORNING G
WRIST SEVEN A LONG WAY BEFORE
00:20:03.30\00:20:08.00
DAYLIGHT, HE WENT OUT AND
DEPARTED TO A SOLITARY PLACE AND
00:20:08.00\00:20:13.14
THER PRAYED.
00:20:13.14\00:20:21.92
>> YOU SEE IN CHAPTER ONE AND
VERSE 33 AND 32 AND 33, JESUS
00:20:21.92\00:20:31.33
WAS VERY BUSY
FOLLOWING THE PREVIOUS DAY.
00:20:31.33\00:20:50.48
IT WAS ILLOGICAL FOR HIM TO
STOP BUT IT WAS SAID THAT THEY
00:20:50.48\00:20:53.38
BROUGHT TO HIM ALL WHO WAS SICK
AND THOSE WERE DEMON POSSESSED
00:20:53.38\00:20:59.32
AND THE WHOLE CITY WAS
GATHERED TOGETHER AT THE DOOR.
00:20:59.32\00:21:03.99
THEN HE HEALED MANY WHO WERE
SICK WITH VARIOUS DISEASE AND
00:21:03.99\00:21:07.40
CAST OUT MANY DEMONS AND DID NOT
ALLOW THE DEMON TO SPEAK BECAUSE
00:21:07.40\00:21:12.57
THEY KNEW HIM. SO
IT WAS A BUSY DAY THE
00:21:12.57\00:21:16.67
PREVIOUS DAY, BUT JESUS CHRIST,
SINCE IT WAS SO IMPORTANT FOR
00:21:16.67\00:21:23.24
JESUS TO STAY HE DID NOT
USE AS AN EXCUSE TO SKIP PRAYER.
00:21:23.24\00:21:29.92
BUT THE FOLLOWING DAY WE CAN SEE
IN VERSE 35 NOW IN THE MORNING
00:21:29.92\00:21:36.36
HAVING WRIST SEVEN A LONG WHILE
BEFORE DAYLIGHT BUSYNESS IS AN
00:21:36.36\00:21:44.83
EXCUSE FOR POOR PRAYER LIFE.
>> THE BUSIER YOU ARE THE MORE
00:21:44.83\00:21:50.34
YOU NEED IT. >>
ABOUT YOU IT IS NOT THE
00:21:50.34\00:22:05.69
SOLUTION FOR US. WE
NEED TO ASK GOD TO RESIST
00:22:05.69\00:22:12.26
THAT TEMPTATION. IF WE
DON'T DO THAT IT WILL BE
00:22:12.26\00:22:21.20
DISCONNECTED AND WE DON'T HAVE
THAT POWER, THE FULL WHEN HE
00:22:21.20\00:22:44.79
NEEDED TO TALK MORE WITH
HIS FATHER, EVEN SPEND ALL NIGHT
00:22:44.79\00:22:49.96
PRAYING ALL NIGHT PRAYING, THAT
MEANS PRAYER FOR JESUS WAS NOT
00:22:49.96\00:22:56.24
AN OPTION. IT WAS A M MUST.
00:22:56.24\00:23:01.78
WE MUST PRAY. SO
THIS WAITING MOMENT IS SO
00:23:01.78\00:23:13.56
IMPORTANT. WE CANNOT
CLAIM WE WERE TOO BUSY
00:23:13.56\00:23:16.99
TO CLAIM. SOMETIMES
WE THINK WE ARE BUSIER
00:23:16.99\00:23:20.40
THAN JESUS, WELL, HOW
CAN I PRAY AS JESUS PRAYED?
00:23:20.40\00:23:26.33
IF YOU KNOW MY SCHEDULE AND THE
THING I HAVE TO DO WE NEED TO
00:23:26.33\00:23:29.54
UNDERSTAND ME THAT I
CANNOT PRAY LIKE THAT.
00:23:29.54\00:23:32.64
WE ARE TEMPTED TO SAY THAT BUT
WE ARE NOT BUSIER THAN JESUS.
00:23:32.64\00:23:40.02
JESUS WAS SO BUSY.
SO IT'S A MATTER OF
00:23:40.02\00:23:45.49
PRIORITIZING. WHEN
THE DISCIPLES WATCHED HIM
00:23:45.49\00:23:50.36
PRA PRAYING AND
THEY SAID, WE REALLY
00:23:50.36\00:23:57.60
WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS PRAYER
LIFE, JESUS, TEACH US HOW TO
00:23:57.60\00:24:18.39
PRAY. BUT FOR
THEM THEY REALIZE THE
00:24:18.39\00:24:21.32
CONNECTION BETWEEN THIS POWERFUL
PREACHING AND THE PRAYER.
00:24:21.32\00:24:37.77
AND WE NEED TO FOLLOW
THE EXAMPLE OF JESUS CHRIST.
00:24:37.77\00:24:40.31
HOW WE ARE GOING TO FOLLOW
THE KPPL PLAY OF JESUS CHRIST
00:24:40.31\00:24:44.85
BECAUSE YE LED BY EXAMPLE.
JESUS CHRIST WSAY, TEACH US.
00:24:44.85\00:24:55.29
WHAT DO YOU THINK
OF THAT? >> I LOVE IT.
00:24:55.29\00:24:57.33
ONE THING THAT I PRAY OFTEN
-- HE JUST WANT TO SHARE THIS
00:24:57.33\00:25:03.16
PROMISE THIS PROMISE WITH OUR
VIEWERS BECAUSE THIS IS A GREAT
00:25:03.16\00:25:05.23
THING TO PRAY IN THE MORNING.
IT'S PSALM 143 AND I'M GOING TO
00:25:05.23\00:25:13.07
READ VERSUS SEVEN
BASICALLY THROUGH 11.
00:25:13.07\00:25:20.65
PSALM 143.
STARTING IN VERSE SEVEN.
00:25:20.65\00:25:25.29
ANSWER ME SPEEDILY
OH LORD MY SPIRIT FAILS.
00:25:25.29\00:25:32.26
CAUSE ME TO HEAR YOUR LOVING
KINDNESS IN THE MORNING FOR IN
00:25:32.26\00:25:37.13
YOU DO I TRUST.
CAUSE ME TO KNOW THE WAY IN
00:25:37.13\00:25:41.87
WHICH I SHOULD WALK FOR
I LIFT UP MY SOUL TO YOU.
00:25:41.87\00:25:45.34
DELIVER ME OH LORD FROM ME
ENEMIES IN YOU I TAKE SHELTER.
00:25:45.34\00:25:50.61
TEACH ME TO DO YOUR
WILL. THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT.
00:25:50.61\00:25:54.52
VERSE TEN. TEACH ME
TO DO YOUR WILL FOR YOU
00:25:54.52\00:25:58.72
ARE MY GOD, YOUR SPIRIT IS
GOOD. LEAD ME IN THE LAND OF UP
00:25:58.72\00:26:05.16
RIGHTNESS. RERIVE ME
FOR YOUR NAMESAKE, FOR
00:26:05.16\00:26:08.53
YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS SAKE AND
BRING MY SOUL OUT OF TROUBLE.
00:26:08.53\00:26:12.63
THE WAY IN WHICH I PRAY THIS
IS I'LL SAY, TEACH ME TO DO YOUR
00:26:12.63\00:26:17.34
WILL, YOU'RE MY GOD. LEAD
ME BY YOUR GOOD SPIRIT ON A
00:26:17.34\00:26:22.88
LEVEL PATH. AND
MAKE MY PATH LEVEL TODAY.
00:26:22.88\00:26:44.00
IT'S ALSO DANGER TO US
THINK THAT WE COULD EVER BE A
00:26:44.00\00:26:49.20
SUCCESSFUL -- LEAD A SUCCESSFUL
CHRISTIAN LIFE IF WE'RE NOT
00:26:49.20\00:26:52.41
COMPLETELY
DEPENDANT UPON THE LORD.
00:26:52.41\00:26:54.78
AND WHERE THE POWER
COMES FROM IS THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:26:54.78\00:27:16.10
SO >> WE USED TO HAVE TO TWO
00:27:16.10\00:27:23.37
PUPPIES AND JUST
WANTED TO LOVE YOU.
00:27:23.37\00:27:28.21
AND ALL IS SHELLEY WAS A GREAT
MOM 90 AND HE LOVED IT AND SHE'D
00:27:28.21\00:27:31.95
GET THE BLOW DRYER OUT AND HE'D
BE SO PROUD AND THE MINUTE THAT
00:27:31.95\00:27:37.99
SHE FINISHED SHE'D SET HIM DOWN
AND HE WANTED TO RUN OUTSIDE
00:27:37.99\00:27:44.73
IMMEDIATELY AND WALLOW AROUND
IN THE GRASS AND GET IT ALL OVER
00:27:44.73\00:27:47.46
HIM. >> OR WHEN
WE WERE OUT IN THE
00:27:47.46\00:27:51.20
COUNTRY, THE COWS EAT ALFALFA
AND HE LOVED THE SMELL OF THE
00:27:51.20\00:27:57.67
COWS. >> REALLY
SO KIND OF --, OH
00:27:57.67\00:28:00.44
BLESS HIS LITTLE HEART AND HERE
MOMMA HAS WORKED SO HARD BUT
00:28:00.44\00:28:05.45
THAT'S WHO HE WAS.
WHENEVER I SIT AND I HEAR YOUR
00:28:05.45\00:28:10.45
CONVERSATION AND YOU KNOW -- AND
I SEE YOUR LOVE FOR JESUS, THIS
00:28:10.45\00:28:14.22
IS WHO YOU ARE. NOW
YOU JUST DIDN'T JUST SNAP
00:28:14.22\00:28:17.43
YOUR FINGERS AND SAY,
WELL, HERE I AM I'M MAN OF GOD.
00:28:17.43\00:28:21.93
YOU'VE BEEN A MAN OF GOD FOR
MANY YEARS YOU AND HAD TO HAVE
00:28:21.93\00:28:26.60
STARTED SOMEPLACE.
FIRST OF ALL, WE NEED TO GIVE
00:28:26.60\00:29:01.74
OUR LIVES TO GOD.
THAT IS THE FIRST.
00:29:01.74\00:29:04.77
THAT IS THE STARTING POINT.
WE NEED TO GIVE OUR LIVES TO
00:29:04.77\00:29:12.88
GOD. >> HOW DO WE DO THAT.
00:29:12.88\00:29:14.35
HOW DO YOU GIVE
YOUR LIFE TO GOD.
00:29:14.35\00:29:18.05
HOW DO YOU CONSECRATE? >>
THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT,
00:29:18.05\00:29:22.12
THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL PUT THAT
DESIREE?IN YUS AND IT'S UP TO US
00:29:22.12\00:29:32.13
TO ACCEPT. SOME
PEOPLE WILL REFUSE, SO IT'S
00:29:32.13\00:29:35.04
UP TO US TO CHOOSE TO
ACCEPT THE VOICE OF GOD.
00:29:35.04\00:29:40.98
SO, FIRST OF ALL, IS TO LISTEN
TO THE VOICE OF GOD INVITING US
00:29:40.98\00:29:45.31
TO GIVE OUR LIVES TO GOD.
AND STUDYING THE WORD OF GOD
00:29:45.31\00:29:50.35
BECAUSE THE WORD OF GOD
IS THE WRITTEN WILL OF GOD.
00:29:50.35\00:29:57.36
AND THIS IS POWERFUL. I
DID NOT GROW UP IN THE FAMILY
00:29:57.36\00:30:02.70
OF CHRISTIANS.
ACTUALLY I GREW UP AS A PAGAN.
00:30:02.70\00:30:07.40
I DIDN'T KNOW
GOD. I DIDN'T KNOW GOD.
00:30:07.40\00:30:11.64
TO CUT A LONG STORY SHORT, THERE
WAS A TIME THAT I DECIDED -- I
00:30:11.64\00:30:19.01
LOVED READING AND I LOVED BOOKS.
I SAW A BOOK AND IT WAS A BLACK
00:30:19.01\00:30:24.89
BOOK, NOT AS BIG AS THIS ONE AND
IT WAS SMALL AND IT WAS WRITTEN
00:30:24.89\00:30:30.36
"NEW TESTAMENT AND PSALMS."
SO I READ THAT FROM COVER TO
00:30:30.36\00:30:35.13
COVER. AS I READ THAT BOOK, NEW
00:30:35.13\00:30:39.83
TESTAMENT IN PSALMS I FELT THE
POWER OF GOD FROM DARKNESS FROM
00:30:39.83\00:30:51.81
DARKNESS. SO I
WAS NOT EVEN A BABY
00:30:51.81\00:30:57.79
CHRISTIAN. I WAS IN DARKNESS.
00:30:57.79\00:30:59.72
I WAS A PAGAN, BUT GOD FOUND ME
AND THROUGH THE WORK OF THE HOLY
00:30:59.72\00:31:05.93
SPIRIT AND THROUGH THE READING
OF HIS WORD AND I DECIDED TO
00:31:05.93\00:31:11.77
ACCEPT -- BECAUSE WE
HAVE THE CHOICE TO SAY NO.
00:31:11.77\00:31:14.97
WHEN WE HEAR THE VOICE OF GOD
WE HAVE THE CHOICE TO SAY NO OR
00:31:14.97\00:31:20.28
YES. SAY YES.
00:31:20.28\00:31:22.04
ONCE YOU SAY YES, THEN YOU GIVE
PERMISSION FOR GOD TO DO MIGHTY
00:31:22.04\00:31:30.02
THINGS IN YOUR LIVES AND OPEN
AS YOU GROW THEN YOU FOLLOW THE
00:31:30.02\00:31:36.16
LIGHT WILL GROW GRADUALLY AND WE
FOLLOW THE PATH OF JESUS CHRIST.
00:31:36.16\00:31:41.03
AND PART OF THAT IS THE PRAYER
LIFE AND THE READING OF THE
00:31:41.03\00:32:00.38
BIBLE. >> MY DAD WAS AN ACTIVITY
00:32:00.38\00:32:05.52
ATHEIST. MY FIRST EXPOSURE OF
00:32:05.52\00:32:08.96
CHRISTIANITY WAS THROUGH
MY GRANDMOTHER WHO WENT TO A
00:32:08.96\00:32:14.00
BAPTIST CHURCH THERE WAS A
REQUEST TO BE IN JESUS IN HEAVEN
00:32:14.00\00:32:55.70
AND IF SO, INVITE JESUS INTO
YOUR HEART AND I REMEMBER SAYING
00:32:55.70\00:33:00.24
THAT PRAYER AND READING IT OUT
OF UNCLE ARTHUR'S BEDROOM STORY
00:33:00.24\00:33:04.75
AND FEELING THAT
POWER IN MY LIFE.
00:33:04.75\00:33:08.02
WASN'T AN EASY JOURNEY FOR
ME. BUT I REMEMBER AS A CHILD
00:33:08.02\00:33:13.86
FEELING THE POWER OF GOD IN MY
LIFE THROUGH THAT BOOK THAT CAME
00:33:13.86\00:33:20.60
INTO OUR HOUSE IN WHAT I BELIEVE
IS A MIRACULOUS SITUATION.
00:33:20.60\00:33:27.57
>> AMEN. THROUGH
THAT WE GROW GRADUALLY
00:33:27.57\00:33:54.36
AND CULTIVATE THIS PRAYER LIFE.
TO MAKE THIS PRACTICAL PAUSE WE
00:33:54.36\00:33:57.43
KNOW WE ARE BUSY PEOPLE.
HOW WE ARE GOING TO DO THIS WE
00:33:57.43\00:34:03.81
HAVE TO REPAIR OUR LIVES.
THERE ARE MANY GOOD THINGS THAT
00:34:03.81\00:34:09.71
WE DO AND MANY TIMES THE DEVIL
PUTS NOT BAD THINGS BUT MAYBE
00:34:09.71\00:34:16.48
GOOD THINGS FORS YOU
NOT TO DO THE GREAT THINGS.
00:34:16.48\00:34:21.76
SO WE NEED TO KIND OF STUDY
HOW WE ARE SPENDING OUR TIME.
00:34:21.76\00:34:27.13
MAYBE WE NEED TO CUT DOWN ON
SOME OF THE THINGS WE ARE DOING
00:34:27.13\00:34:32.37
AND PRIORITIZE THE
TIME WE ARE SPEND WITH GOD.
00:34:32.37\00:34:37.84
>> MAYBE IT'S JUST
AS EASY AS LISTENING.
00:34:37.84\00:34:40.08
YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE WORD OF GOD
IN YOUR HEART AND THE SPIRIT OF
00:34:40.08\00:34:45.71
GOD TRANSFORMS YOUR LIFE
AND THE WORD OF GOD THROUGH THE
00:34:45.71\00:34:48.62
IMPRESSION OF THE HOLY
SPIRIT TRANSFORMS YOUR LIFE TOO.
00:34:48.62\00:34:52.69
I REMEMBER WHEN I FINALLY
DID GIVE IN TO GOD AND BECAME A
00:34:52.69\00:34:56.39
CHRISTIAN, ONE OF THE FIRST
THINGS THAT I EXPERIENCED IN
00:34:56.39\00:34:59.83
THIS REGARD WAS SAYING TO GOD,
LET ME BE A BLESSING TO SOMEONE
00:34:59.83\00:35:04.83
EVERY DAY. THIS
ONE DAY I HAD THIS
00:35:04.83\00:35:08.60
IMPRESSION GO AND MAKE
YOUR NEIGHBOR A PLATE OF FOOD.
00:35:08.60\00:35:13.48
I WAS WORKING IN A VERY HIGH
PROFILE JOB AT THE TIME AND I
00:35:13.48\00:35:17.98
THOUGHT, THAT IS
A VERY ODD THING.
00:35:17.98\00:35:20.35
WHY WOULD I GIVE MY NEIGHBOR,
ONE OF MY NEIGHBORS FOOD.
00:35:20.35\00:35:23.49
THERE WAS A HUSBAND AND A WIFE
AND THREE CHILDREN THAT IT WAS
00:35:23.49\00:35:27.32
GOING TO TAKE IT TO THE WIFE.
ALL DAY I'M THINKING, GO AND
00:35:27.32\00:35:34.46
MAKE THIS
PERSON A PLATE OF FOOD.
00:35:34.46\00:35:36.63
I'M LIKE, GOD, IS THAT
YOU? IT WOULDN'T GO AWAY AT ALL.
00:35:36.63\00:35:41.04
BY THE END OF THE DAY, WHEN I
WAS MAKING THE FOOD I THOUGHT,
00:35:41.04\00:35:44.47
I'M GOING TO DO IT. I
CAN'T GET IT OUT OF MY MIND.
00:35:44.47\00:35:49.18
IT WAS ALMOST BEGRUDGINGLY I
TOOK THIS PLATE OF FOOD TO THE
00:35:49.18\00:35:53.28
NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR THINKING
THEY'RE GOING TO THINK I'M
00:35:53.28\00:35:56.69
ABSOLUTELY CRAZY. I
WALKED UP THE HILL TO THE
00:35:56.69\00:35:59.65
NEIGHBOR AND I NEARLY DECIDED TO
GO BACK DOWN BUT I FORCED MYSELF
00:35:59.65\00:36:03.86
TO KNOCK ON THE DOOR AND JANET,
WHO I DIDN'T KNOW AT THAT STAGE,
00:36:03.86\00:36:10.50
SHE OPENED THE DOOR AND I SAID,
HELLO I'M JOANNE FROM NEXT DOOR.
00:36:10.50\00:36:15.17
YOU'RE GOING TO THE I'M A BIT
CRAZY BUT I THINK GOD'S TOLD ME
00:36:15.17\00:36:19.24
I HAVE TO BRING YOU A
PLATE OF FOOD FOR DINNER.
00:36:19.24\00:36:22.61
AND SHE BURST INTO TEARS.
AND I SAID, IT DOES TASTE ALL
00:36:22.61\00:36:31.29
RIGHT I THINK. AND
SHE SAID, IT'S REALLY
00:36:31.29\00:36:34.82
LOVELY. BUT ALL
THROUGH THE DAY I
00:36:34.82\00:36:37.56
HAVEN'T EATEN IN TWO DAYS.
MY HUSBAND'S AWAY AND MY KIDS
00:36:37.56\00:36:43.73
ARE JUST NOT COOPERATING AND MY
BABY IS SICK AND I SAID GOD IF
00:36:43.73\00:36:49.50
YOU'RE REAL PLEASE SEND ME SOME
FOOD AND I TELL YOU WHAT, WHEN I
00:36:49.50\00:36:54.54
WENT DOWN I SAID,
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
00:36:54.54\00:36:58.18
THIS IS REAL THIS IS REAL.
SO GOD CAN IMPRESS UPON YOU TO
00:36:58.18\00:37:03.69
DO FOR OTHERS AND EXCITES YOUR
LIFE AND BRINGS YOU PURPOSE IN
00:37:03.69\00:37:06.55
YOUR LIFE. >> I
THINK LEARNING TO LISTEN
00:37:06.55\00:37:09.29
FOR THE STILL SMALL VOICE OF
THE LORD AND THAT JUST SIMPLY IS
00:37:09.29\00:37:18.20
WHEN HE IMPRESSES ON YOUR LIFE.
HE'LL NEVER IMPRESS ANYTHING ON
00:37:18.20\00:37:27.14
YOU THAT IS CONTRADICTORY
TO THE WILL OF GOD.
00:37:27.14\00:37:30.28
I HAD A SIMPLER
EXPERIENCE. I WAS DRIVING HOME.
00:37:30.28\00:37:33.75
I HAD BEEN OUT OF TOWN IN
MIDHAND AND I WAS GOING BACK AND
00:37:33.75\00:37:40.02
I WAS TRAVELING ALONE.
AS I TURNED ON TO -- OFF THE
00:37:40.02\00:37:44.73
FREEWAY, WHAT WAS THE
ROAD TO -- SWEETWATER.
00:37:44.73\00:37:50.63
I'M TURNING OFF THIS OTHER
HIGHWAY, AND I PASS THIS SERVICE
00:37:50.63\00:37:56.00
STATION. AND I
SEE A MAN BEHIND A RED
00:37:56.00\00:37:59.21
PICK-UP TRUCK, HE'S
FILLING UP HIS TRUCK.
00:37:59.21\00:38:02.04
AND I TURNED THE CORNER AND TTHE
00:38:02.04\00:38:06.72
LORD -- I SO CLEARLY
HEARD, GO PRAY WITH THIS MAN.
00:38:06.72\00:38:11.42
I'M GOING DOWN THE ROAD SAYING
IS THAT YOU OR IS THIS ME?
00:38:11.42\00:38:28.87
I'M DRIVING -- THE THOUGHT THAT
COMES TO MY MIND AT THAT POINT
00:38:28.87\00:38:32.31
AND I KNOW IT'S THE LORD IT'S
SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT OF WHEN
00:38:32.31\00:38:36.11
WILL YOU LEARN TO
OBEY IN A TIMELY MANNER.
00:38:36.11\00:38:39.51
I TURNED THE CAR AROUND AND
I WENT BACK AND HERE IS THE MAN
00:38:39.51\00:38:43.49
NOW HE'S STANDING OUTSIDE.
I COULD JUST SEE HIM BECAUSE I
00:38:43.49\00:38:47.52
MEAN, TEN MINUTES HAD PASSED.
I REALLY DIDN'T KNOW IF HE HAD
00:38:47.52\00:38:50.86
BEEN THERE. WHEN I
TURNED BACK AROUND.
00:38:50.86\00:39:05.11
AND I WALKED UP TO HIM AND HE HE
WAS SPEAKING SPANISH AND ALL OF
00:39:05.11\00:39:11.11
A SUDDEN HE SAID,
YOU'RE SHELLEY QUINN.
00:39:11.11\00:39:14.32
I WAS ON A DIFFERENT
TELEVISION NETWORK AT THAT TIME.
00:39:14.32\00:39:17.52
HE SAID YOU'RE SHELLEY
QUINN. AND I SAID, UH-HUH.
00:39:17.52\00:39:23.09
AND I SAID I WAS REALLY
IMPRESSED -- THE LORD WANTED ME
00:39:23.09\00:39:26.29
TO PRAY FOR YOU. AND HE
WAS GETTING READY TO HAVE
00:39:26.29\00:39:30.40
HIS LEG AMPUTATED THE NEXT DAY.
AND SO, AT THE V.A. HOSPITAL, SO
00:39:30.40\00:39:38.94
I PRAYED WITH THIS MAN. IT
WAS ABOUT TWO MONTHS LATER HE
00:39:38.94\00:39:57.96
CALLED AND HE WENT THROUGH THE
ENTIRE SURGERY AND RECOVERY WITH
00:39:57.96\00:40:02.20
NO PAIN. HE SAID HE
DIDN'T HEAL ME, BUT I
00:40:02.20\00:40:05.73
WENT THROUGH THE ENTIRE
SURGERY WITHOUT ANY PAIN.
00:40:05.73\00:40:09.04
AND EVIDENTLY
AMPUTATION IS QUITE PAINFUL.
00:40:09.04\00:40:11.34
THE DOCTORS
COULD NOT BELIEVE IT.
00:40:11.34\00:40:14.78
BUT GUESS WHAT GOD DID?
HE USED THIS MAN TO GO UP AND
00:40:14.78\00:40:21.75
DOWN THE WHOLE WARD BUT HAVE
BUT WE STAYED IN TOUCH FOR QUITE
00:40:21.75\00:40:42.60
SOME TIME. I
THOUGHT HOW PRECIOUS AND I
00:40:42.60\00:40:44.67
WOULD HAVE MISSED IT. THIS
IS A SUBJECT THAT WE'LL NOT
00:40:44.67\00:41:40.63
BE ABLE TO COVER TODAY OR
THE PRAYER TOPIC THAT REQUIRES A
00:41:40.63\00:41:46.74
TOPIC IN ITSELF. BUT I
WOULD LIKE TO EMPHASIZE
00:41:46.74\00:41:51.77
TODAY THAT WE SHOULD ASK GOD TO
TEACH US TO SEE THE IMPORTANCE
00:41:51.77\00:41:59.65
OF PRAYER. PRAYER
INDIVIDUALLY, THE SAKE
00:41:59.65\00:42:05.75
IED PRAYER IS IMPORTANT.
WE SAY PRAYER LIKE DON'T EVER
00:42:05.75\00:42:12.79
NEGLECT PERSONAL PRAYER.
PERSONAL PRAYER, PRIORITY EYES
00:42:12.79\00:42:15.96
IT AND LET'S FOLLOW THE EXAMPLE
OF JESUS CHRIST AND THEN PRAYER
00:42:15.96\00:42:21.40
WITH OUR FAMILIES OR OUR SPOUSE
AND WE NEED TO BE ACCOUNTABLE TO
00:42:21.40\00:42:25.44
THIS AND ENCOURAGE 1 ANOTHER.
BECAUSE YOU KNOW THE DEVIL IS
00:42:25.44\00:42:28.38
ALWAYS TRYING TO FIND A
WAY FOR US NOT TO DO IT.
00:42:28.38\00:42:32.41
THEN WE NEED TO ENCOURAGE
1 ANOTHER, HUSBAND AND WIFE,
00:42:32.41\00:42:41.86
FAMILY MEMBERS. EVEN
IF YOU MISSED DON'T EVER
00:42:41.86\00:42:43.79
SAY, OH, I MISSED.
LET'S GET BACK TO IT AGAIN AND
00:42:43.79\00:42:47.56
GO AGAIN AND PRAY. AND
THEN, BUT WE NEED TO SPEND
00:42:47.56\00:43:07.28
TIME PRAYING AS A CHURCH.
MANY TIMES WE TALK ABOUT PRAYER,
00:43:07.28\00:43:11.19
BUT WE DON'T PRAY. THE
MID WEEK PRAYER CAN BECOME
00:43:11.19\00:43:18.16
THE MID WEEK PREACHING THAT WE
SHOULD SPEND MORE TIME PRAYING
00:43:18.16\00:43:23.77
AND TALKING TO GOD.
WE DON'T -- YOU'RE RIGHT.
00:43:23.77\00:43:46.35
WE DO NOT -- WE
TALK ABOUT PRAYER A LOT.
00:43:46.35\00:43:50.36
BUT WE DON'T DO ENOUGH CORPORATE
PRAYER IN MID WEEK PRAYER
00:43:50.36\00:43:55.86
MEETINGS. >> SO AS
LEADERS, BE IT AT HOME
00:43:55.86\00:44:16.28
I'D LIKE TO TOUCH ON FAITH
BECAUSE THE WAITING MOMENT FOR
00:44:16.28\00:44:22.72
US TO RECEIVE THE GREAT PROMISE
AND FOR US TO BE ABLE TO FULFILL
00:44:22.72\00:44:29.66
GREAT COMISSION AND FOR US TO
SEE THE COMING OF JESUS THAT IS
00:44:29.66\00:44:35.47
THE GREAT HOPE, WE
NEED TO HAVE THIS PRAYER.
00:44:35.47\00:44:40.24
BECAUSE WE PRAY
FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:44:40.24\00:44:43.98
PRAY FOR THE FEEL OF THE HOLY
SPIRIT THAT WILL BE FILLED WITH
00:44:43.98\00:44:50.25
THE HOLY SPIRIT AND WE'LL
BE BAPTIZED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:44:50.25\00:44:55.79
THIS IS WHAT WE NEED. WE
NEED SPIRIT FILLED CHRISTIANS
00:44:55.79\00:45:01.10
AND ALL OF US, WE NEED
AND THAT IS THROUGH PRAYER.
00:45:01.10\00:45:05.53
WE ASK GOD TO FILL US. OH,
LORD, FILL ME WITH THE HOLY
00:45:05.53\00:45:11.67
SPIRIT. AND WE NEED TO BELIEVE.
00:45:11.67\00:45:15.38
QUICKLY, IN LUKE CHAPTER 17 AND
VERSE FIVE, THE APOSTLES SAID TO
00:45:15.38\00:45:41.94
THE LORD INCREASE OUR FAITH.
WHAT WE NEED IS STRONGER FAITH.
00:45:41.94\00:46:12.77
ROMAN CHAPTER TEN, THAT
IS THE KEY FOR OUR FAITH.
00:46:12.77\00:46:16.10
THAT IS VERSE 17.
ROMAN'S CHAPTER TEN VERSE 17.
00:46:16.10\00:46:22.18
SO THEN, FAITH COMES BY HEARING
AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD.
00:46:22.18\00:46:28.65
THE WORD OF GOD. FOR
OUR FAITH TO BE STRONG, WE
00:46:28.65\00:46:31.65
UNDERSTOOD TO
LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF GOD.
00:46:31.65\00:46:35.32
WE NEED TO SPEND TIME STUDYING
THE WORD OF GOD AND EXERCISE OUR
00:46:35.32\00:46:42.73
FAITH, EXERCISE OUR FAITH.
BE INVOLVED IN ACTIVITIES THAT
00:46:42.73\00:46:46.63
REQUIRES FAITH. DON'T
JUST DO SOMETHING SMALL
00:46:46.63\00:46:50.27
THAT YOURSELF YOU CAN DO.
YOU DON'T EVEN NEED AN EFFORT TO
00:46:50.27\00:46:54.88
DO IT, BUT PLAN BIG
FOR GOD. PRAY BIG FOR GOD.
00:46:54.88\00:47:00.38
AND DO SOMETHING THAT UNLESS
GOD INTERVENES IT WILL NOT BE
00:47:00.38\00:47:18.93
POSSIBLE. WHAT HAVE
WE DONE IN THE GLORY
00:47:18.93\00:47:23.14
OF GOD IN ZIMBABWE. >>
THE DEDICATION AND THE FAITH
00:47:23.14\00:47:26.71
OF OUR CHURCH MEMBERS.
WE REALLY WORK HARD AND THEY
00:47:26.71\00:47:30.91
WORK SO HARD FOR GOD AND WHEN WE
WANT TO REACH OUT TO A COMMUNITY
00:47:30.91\00:47:34.75
THEY'LL DO ALL THEY
CAN IN FAITH FOR THE LORD.
00:47:34.75\00:47:42.99
IN SUBURB OUT OF ZIMBABWE IT
WAS DECIDED WE WOULD DO A HEALTH
00:47:42.99\00:47:52.13
E EXPO.
00:47:52.13\00:47:52.67
AND THE PEOPLE WERE CHALLENGED
BY LEADERS TO FIND 500 HEALTH
00:47:52.67\00:47:57.51
PRO IF HEING TPEGSLES TO TAKE
TWO WEEKS OFF WORK AND GIVE FREE
00:47:57.51\00:48:05.61
HEALTHCARE AND 1,000 CHURCH
MEMBERS WHO KNOCKED DOOR TO DOOR
00:48:05.61\00:48:08.52
TO LET PEOPLE
THIS WAS AVAILABLE.
00:48:08.52\00:48:10.69
AND IN A PERIOD OF TWO
WEEKS, THE LOCAL HOSPITAL MADE
00:48:10.69\00:48:16.73
AVAILABLE THE HOSPITAL FLOOR AND
THE SURGEONS AND NURSES TO DO
00:48:16.73\00:48:21.06
THREE ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY
AND OTHER GENERAL SURGERY.
00:48:21.06\00:48:24.23
SO SOME PEOPLE HAD LIFE CHANGING
SURGERIES DONE DURING THAT TIME.
00:48:24.23\00:48:28.60
WE HAD EVERYTHING FROM CANCER
SPECIALISTS TO CARDIOLOGISTS TO
00:48:28.60\00:48:32.97
MENTAL SPECIALISTS AND AIDS
SPECIALISTS AND OPHTHALMOLOGISTS
00:48:32.97\00:48:37.58
AND HEARING SPECIALISTS.
THERE WAS A WHOLE SUPERMARKET OF
00:48:37.58\00:48:41.82
HEALTHCARE OPTIONS, EVEN
HEALTHCARE EDUCATION PROGRAMS
00:48:41.82\00:48:45.19
FOR THE DEAF. IT
WAS JUST EXTRAORDINARY.
00:48:45.19\00:48:51.86
IN TWO WEEK,
34,100 PEOPLE WERE SERVED.
00:48:51.86\00:48:54.13
AND THIS WAS ONE STORY OF A MAN,
352 KILOMETERS AWAY WHO WAS TOLD
00:48:54.13\00:49:00.24
THE NIGHT BEFORE HE CAME BY THE
VOICE OF GOD, GO THERE TO GOD'S
00:49:00.24\00:49:06.74
PEOPLE. THEY'LL
BE ABLE TO HEAL YOU.
00:49:06.74\00:49:09.18
HE IN FAITH GOD IN HIS
TRANSPORTATION AND WENT THIS AND
00:49:09.18\00:49:14.58
FOUND THE HEALTH EXPO AND
PRAISED GOD THAT HE WAS ABLE TO
00:49:14.58\00:49:18.85
BE HEALED. THIS IS
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A
00:49:18.85\00:49:21.49
GROUP OF PEOPLE THOUSANDS OF
PEOPLE COME TOGETHER AND SAY,
00:49:21.49\00:49:24.63
WE'RE GOING TO REACH OUT TO
A WHOLE COMMUNITY AND IT WAS SO
00:49:24.63\00:49:29.40
AMAZING THAT THE GOVERNMENT OF
ZIMBABWE SAID THANK YOU TO THE
00:49:29.40\00:49:34.97
CHURCH MEMBERS AND GAVE A LARGE
PARCEL OF LAND TO BUILD A SCHOOL
00:49:34.97\00:49:38.61
AND THAT WAS DONE TOO.
>> HOW DO YOU GET SO MANY
00:49:38.61\00:49:42.64
MEMBERS INVOLVED TO GET A
THOUSAND MEMBERS OUT KNOCKING
00:49:42.64\00:49:47.78
DOORS? WHEN'S THE SECRET?
00:49:47.78\00:49:54.06
>> THEE FOUR GREATS THAT WE
TALKED ABOUT IN OUR DIVISION, WE
00:49:54.06\00:49:57.49
ARE TRYING TO IMPLEMENT THIS.
OF COURSE WE STILL HAVE A LOT TO
00:49:57.49\00:50:02.50
DO. BUT WE
ENCOURAGE OUR MEMBERS TO
00:50:02.50\00:50:06.57
PARTICIPATE AND GET INVOLVED
EVEN WHEN THEY'RE KNEW SOMETIMES
00:50:06.57\00:50:27.16
WHEN SOMEONE IS BAPTIZED
WE TELL THEM LET THEM WAIT TO
00:50:27.16\00:50:30.86
PARTICIPATE. BUT WE
INTENTIONALLY ACTUALLY
00:50:30.86\00:50:34.66
TRAIN THEM TO BE PART OF THE
MINISTRY OF THE CHURCH AND ALSO
00:50:34.66\00:50:40.10
TO BE WITNESSES RIGHT AWAY.
WE GET A NUMBER OF PEOPLE TO DO
00:50:40.10\00:51:21.24
MINISTRIES. >> I
THINK THE BIG KEY THERE IS
00:51:21.24\00:51:22.91
THAT AS THEY DO THE MINISTRY,
GOD WORKS IN A MIGHTY WAY
00:51:22.91\00:51:27.38
THROUGH THEIR LIVES AND THEY GET
THE BLESSING OF SERVING OTHER
00:51:27.38\00:51:30.85
PEOPLE AND THAT MAKES THEM
EXCITED TO WANT TO GO AND DO
00:51:30.85\00:51:35.49
MORE. AND WE
CHALLENGE EVERY MEMBER
00:51:35.49\00:51:37.96
EVERY YEAR TO DO --
TO BRING US ALL TO JESUS.
00:51:37.96\00:51:42.26
IT'S CALLED ONE MEMBER ONE SOUL.
THAT PERSON BECOMES THEIR FRIEND
00:51:42.26\00:51:47.50
IN CHRIST AND THEY'RE
RESPONSIBLE FOR LOOKING AFTER
00:51:47.50\00:51:50.27
THAT PERSON AND MEN STORE  TORE
G /* MENTORING THAT PERSON AND
00:51:50.27\00:51:57.28
THAT PERSON IS CHALLENGED
TO FIND ONE MEMBER ONE SOUL
00:51:57.28\00:52:00.62
THEMSELVES. THE
GROWTH IS OUT OF LOVE AND
00:52:00.62\00:52:02.28
LEADERSHIP BY LOVE AND IT'S
A GENUINE LOVE FOR GOD THAT IS
00:52:02.28\00:52:07.22
REFLECTED IN LOVE
FOR THEIR FELLOW MAN.
00:52:07.22\00:52:12.59
>> WE'RE DOING
BLESSING ON THE GO EVENT.
00:52:12.59\00:52:15.73
AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE
SO EXCITED THAT WE HAVE CLOSE TO
00:52:15.73\00:52:21.04
3,000, I THINK NOW
PEOPLE WHO ARE PART OF THIS.
00:52:21.04\00:52:26.94
EVERY MONTH NOW YOU'RE GOING
TO THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE
00:52:26.94\00:53:00.34
GETTING PERMISSION
AND LOOKING FOR LABORERS.
00:53:00.34\00:53:03.41
IF YOU ASK THIS IS ONE
THAT YOU SHALL RECEIVE.
00:53:03.41\00:53:08.48
SO THROUGH PRAYER OUR FAITH CAN
BE INCREASED THROUGH PRAYER AND
00:53:08.48\00:53:13.32
THROUGH EXERCISE. SO,
WE STILL HAVE A LOT TO DO,
00:53:13.32\00:53:17.69
BUT MAYBE WE'LL SAVE
SOME TIME THROUGH QUESTIONS.
00:53:17.69\00:53:23.40
TO SUMMARIZE FOR JESUS CHRIST TO
COME SOON, THE GREAT FORCE NEEDS
00:53:23.40\00:53:32.14
TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN OUR LIVES.
AND GOD WILL GIVE US THAT FAITH
00:53:32.14\00:53:41.15
THAT WE REALLY NEED.
LORD, INCREASE MY FAITH AND
00:53:41.15\00:53:45.62
TEACH ME HOW TO PRAY AND IF
WE DO THAT AND WE'LL RECEIVE THE
00:53:45.62\00:53:51.13
POWER FROM ABOVE IT WILL BE
AMAZING THE PREACHING OF THE
00:53:51.13\00:53:55.46
GOSPEL WILL GO FAST AND SOON
IT WILL BE DONE AND WE WILL GO
00:53:55.46\00:54:00.47
HOME. >> AMEN.
00:54:00.47\00:54:02.47
SO THE FOUR GREATS THAT WE
LOOKED AT BOTH IN ACTS AND IN
00:54:02.47\00:54:09.18
JOSHUA, BUT THE FOUR GREATS THE
GREAT COMMAND WHICH IS TO WAIT
00:54:09.18\00:54:13.68
AND PRAY AND ASK FOR THE GREAT
PROMISE WHICH IS THE HOLY SPIRIT
00:54:13.68\00:54:18.55
AND THEN THERE IS ONCE WE HAVE
BEEN GIVEN THE GREAT COMISSION
00:54:18.55\00:54:29.76
AND THE FINAL THING IS GREAT
HOPE JUST LOOKING -- KNOWING
00:54:29.76\00:54:32.70
THAT JESUS IS
RETURNING. MARANATHA.
00:54:32.70\00:54:36.40
I HAVE TO SAY ONE THING, THE
LORD WANTS INCREASE THE MEASURE
00:54:36.40\00:54:46.68
OF YOUR EXPECTANCY AND IT
GETS MEASURED BA BEEN TO YOU.
00:54:46.68\00:54:55.22
WHAT WE HAVE DONE
WE PUT GOD IN A BOX.
00:54:55.22\00:54:58.16
WE PRAY LITTLE BITTY PRAYERS AND
I LOVE -- I BELIEVE THAT WE NEED
00:54:58.16\00:55:07.67
TO ASK GOD TO GIVE US A HUNGER
AND THRUST FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS AND
00:55:07.67\00:55:13.94
GIVE US AS YOU WERE
SAYING INCREASE MY FAITH
00:55:13.94\00:55:19.31
>> AND INCREASE MY WISDOM.
>> INCREASE MY HUMILITY AND
00:55:19.31\00:55:27.26
COURAGE. AMEN.
00:55:27.26\00:55:29.66
I CAN'T BELIEVE OUR
TIME HAS PASSED SO QUICKLY.
00:55:29.66\00:55:31.73
WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR QUESTIONS
OR YOUR PRAYER REQUESTS BUT
00:55:31.73\00:55:35.73
TRUST ME THAT ALL OF YOUR PRAYER
REQUESTS WILL BE PRAYED OVER.
00:55:35.73\00:55:40.00
THE PASTORAL DEPARTMENT
ALWAYS PRAISE OVER THEM.
00:55:40.00\00:55:43.61
>> AND AN ABSOLUTE BLESSING FOR
US TO BE AIL TO PRAY OVER YOU
00:55:43.61\00:55:47.71
AND FOR YOU BECAUSE THERE ARE
SO MANY HURTING PEEL, SO MANY.
00:55:47.71\00:55:51.28
>> THAT'S TRUE. DR.

00:56:16.10\00:56:21.34
>> 3.5 MILLION. I
THINK THAT OUR VIEWING
00:56:21.34\00:56:23.95
AUDIENCE AND THOSE WHO ARE
LISTENING ON RADIO CAN CERTAINLY
00:56:23.95\00:56:31.82
UNDERSTAND WHY IT YOUR
DIVISION IS GROWING SO RAPIDLY.
00:56:31.82\00:56:35.72
