Outreach and Faith in Mission Work

I want to read two verses of scripture John chapter 14 14-6 hallelujah what someone once said to me I was once preaching a service the service only had about 10 people in it and someone came they came uh to the church at that time and they po their head in and they said we were listening to you preach and we thought you were preaching to at least 200 people and they said pastor its amazing no matter how many people you’re preaching to you have a tendency to preach the same way and I said this to them I said from my reading of the New Testament most of the greatest teachings of Jesus were given to just a small group of people thats right thats right most of the time most of his truths deepest truths were spoken to a small group of people true but right now what Im the scriptures Im going to read to you Jesus is just talking to 11 people in the Book of John chapter 14 and chapter 13 he’s having what we call his final meal with his disciples he celebrating the Passover on which he introduced what we called the Lord supper of communion amen and he’s having the Passover he’s celebrating his final Passover with his disciples 12 of them are there at this same Gathering is when he says uh uh someone in this room is going to petray me and the disciples begin to ask Lord is it me is it me and he says the one that I give to eat or give to sub to thats the on thats going to portray me and then he gives it to Judas and the scripture says in chapter 14 as you read in in Chapter 13 it says, the minute he gives this to Judas it says Satan enters into him and Jesus says to Judas thats what thou doest do quickly and then the Bible says that Judas gets up and he leaves the room now theres only 11 disciples left so hes talking to 11 people and the scripture says it says that after Judas left Jesus says he didnt say it before he left some for some reason this truth that Jesus was going to communicate was not for Judas it says after he leaves these are the words that Jesus begin to speak to the 11 disciples that are left and its on chapter 14: 14- 16 Jesus says to them if you love me now the betrayer just left he says a n hes talking about the Holy Ghost so right now hes already talking about Pentecost and whats going to happen even the spirit of Truth whom the world cannot receive receive because it neither sees him nor knows him so this is for those that know him and those that love him he says you know him for he dwells with you and will be in you but I want you to pay attention how it begins if you love me you know one of the reason that the church is one of the mistakes that the church is me uh making right now is that uh uh were helping people and were declaring to people the fact that God loves them but theres another side to it its about people loving God and so you I was listening to a lady talk and and she was talking about the fact that um uh that she curses and she drinks and whatever and then she says but she says but it doesnt matter God loves me and I said to myself I know God loves you what I want to know is if you love God good word God loves us no matter who we are God loves us no matter what weve done the Bible said while we were yet sinners Christ died for us God loves the whole world as messed up as the world is God loves every human being in the world but let me let you know what changes you what changes you is when you accept the love of God and You Begin loving God back so Jesus says if you love me why because if I love you and you don’t love me we still don’t have a relationship a love relationship is when two people love each other it isn’t when one person loves someone and so guess what God loves us but we don’t have a relationship with God until we start loving thats right him back am all of us have many of us have heard about that book The Five Love Languages right yeah sometimes as as a pastor con in with couples I I remember counseling with a couple and uh uh speaking to the couple the lady says she says you know sometimes I don’t know if my husband loves me okay and he says Pastor I don’t understand how this woman can say she don’t know if I love her he says I really I he said this woman we got married one of the the things she said to me is that I want a house he said I went out there and I work my butt off and I got her a house he says and then she told me that she wanted her own car he said I went out there I work my bus butt off and I got her her own car I have my truck and I got her her car he says anything she needs I get it for her when I first marry my mind I would let her know and I said to them I said I said what the problem that you have is both of you communicate love differently his love language is making sacrifices getting everything that she needs if she says she wants something to get us for thats how love her love language is she needs to hear it she needs to experience affection physically and verbally she needs affirmation and I said to them have you ever read the book The Five Love Languages so that you can learn her love language how he communicates love how she communicates love how he receives love and how she communicates and receives love yeah for him he did not need her to tell him that she loves him he said as long as shes there and shes committed to him and they’re doing the things as a couple and for him thats all he needs he doesn’t need to hear it at all for her she needs to hear it she needs affirmation she needs hugs she needs affection and I was telling him I said you’re you love her but you’re not communicating your love to her in ways that she received love well God has a love language of course he has more than one but Jesus says My love language is obedience if you love me you obey me you obey me yes sir if you don’t love if you don’t obey me I conclude that you do not love me one of the love languages of Jesus is obedience he says if you love me sometimes my wife would say that she said now dare if you love me and I whenever she says that I said now don’t do that there you know I love you if you love me you’ll do such and such Jesus says if you love me you will keep my Commandments and he says and if you love me he said I will ask the father and he will give you another helper that’s what I do for people that loves me but not only that because we know that he loves us with an everlasting love he loves us no matter who we are what we have done his love is unshakable he loves us with an everlasting love he loves us with an unshakable love amen but we show our love for him out of obedience and submission to his will tell somebody just love on Jesus now in our Western culture love has to do a lot with feelings and because there’s a lot of emphasis on feelings people you know they like I don’t know if I love God oh boy cuz I don’t you know theres certain feelings they’re looking for but in scripture love is a law love is a love is a law matter of fact in the Bible love has more to do with actions than with feelings it has to do with conduct and so the key is love matter of fact Jesus when he tells us to love the Lord Our God with all our heart minds and soul amen is where we commit our whole selves to God now love of course when we look at a law law has to do with rules thats in a in a a national sense or political sense or governmental sense but laws from a biblical sense are decreas God calls us to love him and then he shows us from his word how to love him and so we love him by keeping his Commandments amen God said I know Abraham the reason Im chosen I know him and I know he will command his house I know how he’s going to love on me and so Jesus said if you love me you’ll keep my Commandments if we love God well keep his Commandments amen and so the key is and listen what he says in Matthew 7:2 24 therefore whosoever Hearth these sayings of mine his Commandments or his sayings and doeth them I will like him unto a wise man that built his house upon a rock Jesus is a lot about doing and being thats it you will do what you are Jesus said whatever I hear the father say I do and whatever I see the father do I say I say what he does and I does what he and I do what he says and so he says if you hear these thingss of mind so how do we love on Jesus we love on him by doing what he says right everything that he says we do it we obey him and this is how we love him our love for him is Manifest in obedience one of the difference between uh uh you know I always wondered in scripture I said God how come you you you you forgive David but you didnt forgive Saul and I really felt like Davids sins were worse than Saul I mean God told Saul if you go when you go into a city I want you to kill everything in that City and offered it up to me Saul goes into the town he kills he he he he he defeats this the town but he doesn’t kill everything and that was what Saul’s major Act of Disobedience David comes and David takes a man's wife he kills the man he marries the man's wife and I'm like man that's pretty bad then he hides it he sends the man out to battle and before he did that he tried to send the man into his wife and said go into her so that at least you think the child is yours the man says no I can't go into my wife why my why the other soldiers in the kingdom are fighting for you David he said I'll stay right out here and so David send himly gets him killed but guess what's the difference between Saul and David if you read Saul every time Saul spoke to Samuel he would say Samuel pray to your God read it read it again whenever David talked he talked about my God when Saul came to Samuel he said Samuel pray to your God that he would forgive me the only reason he was doing it is so that he would not lose his kingdom he wanted to save his kingdom it was not about his relationship with God it was about saving his kingdom but listen to David in Psalms chapter 51 hey David doesn't say anything about his kingdom David said Lord I've sinned against you he said God all I want from you is please do not take your spirit from me he said you know you might take the Kingdom from me you might take my baby from me you might take my position from me but Lord one thing do not cancel is the relationship that you and you you and I have I love you with everything I'm willing to lose my kingdom but I do not want to lose your presence in my life now God said that's a man after my own heart David was after relationship Saul was after Kingdom and so guess what Saul lost the kingdom and David gained the kingdom because because he loved God David says the Lord is my shepherd I will not want he goes and every time it's a personal statement he said I know who God is to me he is my rock he is my salvation he is my deliverer he had a personal relationship with God Amen God said this is a man after my own heart he had a personal relationship with God and so Jesus said if you love me you will keep my Commandments well what one of we just a look at two of them Jesus one of his Commandments and one of his first Commandments we see that he gave he says come follow me Jesus gets out there and and the Bible well before we go to that the first thing when Jesus comes preaching what is the first thing he begins preaching well he starts exactly where John the Baptist ended the Bible says in Matthew 4:17 from that time Jesus began to preach saying repent for the kingdom of God is at hand the other mistake that we make in the church is we think that repentance is a one-time thing but repentance is instantaneous and continuous repentance mean to turn around yes that's a one time thing but repentance also means to change your mind we must do that constantly constantly we have to change our mind and align it with the mind of God that's why Jesus said to Peter after Peter had been with him for almost two years he said Peter when you converted amen I need you to convert the others what Jesus was saying Peter there are a lot of areas in which you still don't think like me there disciples in many areas they needed to repent repent and adjust their thinking you remember one time Jesus was out he was preaching and there were a group of people there not responding to Jesus preaching the disciples said Lord let's call fire down from heaven Jesus said I don't think like that we're not of that Spirit adjust your thinking you need to repent of that thinking repentance we need to adjust our thinking that's why the Holy Spirit that's why God gives us the mind of Christ because we can't follow God with our own minds the Bible tells us that our thinking is as far as as different from God as the heaven is from the Earth and so we have to put on a new mind our minds have to be transformed that's what Roman 12 talks about that we may know is that good perfect will of God and that comes with repentance and that's continuous and it must be a continuous part of the believer's life Matthew 6 and2 Jesus said whenever you pray you ought to say father forgive us our debts good word come on every time you pray God forgive me of my sins we live in a state of repentance not repentance at the place that we we establishing a new relationship with God but in that sense of God any area of my life that's out align with your word my thinking my mindset my attitude my speech align it with you father let my mind come in agreement with your mind that I might follow you and I repent and I change my way of thinking of anything that's outside of how you function and how you think and I realize there is something I have to do continuously even as I been here for these last couple of days there are already a couple of areas we have had to change my mind on the way I thought about certain things and I said oh my goodness my thinking was wrong Lord I Repent of that I've gotten a revelation that that's not the way you see it that's so good and what I have to do because I've met people who do not adjust they said oh no I don't care who says it this is the way I think I've always thought this way that's what religion does you know as an assem God Pastor I can remember I don't know how it is in in in America but I know in the Bahamas I sat in classes and and when I was going to Bible school and had professors and Men of God that I looked up to they said prophet are no longer for today wow and apostles are no longer for today and I'm sitting there and I'm trying to understand uh uh the book of Ephesians and I'm saying but all the pastors mentioned the Evangelist is mention and and the teachers mentioned um why do we cancel two and only keep three I couldn't figure it out Hallelujah we needed to repent and you that pastors as God begin to move they said you know what I we got it wrong we we well we were trying to avoid some things but guess what now we're beginning to understand that the fivefold ministry still exist and God is going and guess what we needed to repent of that and bring our thinking in alignment with God's Will and purpose so Jesus said whenever you you come before God Jesus says ask him to forgive you of anything that's out of line with God because the holy spirit will reveal it to you and then he said you pray for others to forgive you amen and so the thing is because sometimes we offend God by the way we think operate and speak and we need to repent and align ourselves and every time we come together in settings like these there's Revelation being released to cause us to adjust our thinking because as a person thinks that's how they operate if people think they are no miracles for the day they operate like they are no miracles for today very true hallelujah hallelujah the other command that Jesus says amen he says this and then he comes his disciples the first disciples that he come across the men that he were going to choose he said come follow me let me tell you something to access the kingdom you've got to change your mind and come into God's will Jesus the first thing he preached he says why do you need to repent the kingdom of God is here you need to adjust your thinking you need to turn from the direction that you're going because if you're going to access the kingdom you're going to have to think like God right good and and so we have to adjust our thinking tell somebody I'm always adjusting my thinking to the word of God hallelujah and it's a continuous thing and then he says follow me someone say follow Jesus Jes he didn't call us to follow a religion he didn't call us to follow a church an organization he didn't call us to follow a man a Doctrine a theology he called us to follow him I meet people every day that don't sometime people say well I'm a Baptist I'm a Catholic I'm I'm Assemblies of God I'm Pentecostal I'm amen I'm I'm I'm a faith person some people say well I'm a new testament Christian I'm an Old Testament Christian but let me tell you we're called to follow Jesus and if we follow him we'll do everything that he has called us to do following Jesus is the key to reaching the lost listen to what Jesus said he said if you follow me I'll show you how to catch men I put it to you nobody can truly truly follow Jesus and not become a fisher of man wow that's true he said follow me and I will show you how to become Fishers of Men amen hallelujah let me tell you effective Ministry comes from following Jesus following him because guess what even when times change and and and and and cultures change and and and seasons change all you've got to do is keep following Jesus and he'll direct you through every season generation and time he says in Matthew 4:19 while walking on the SE gilee saw his two brothers Simon who's called Peter and Andrew his brother calling casting a net into the sea for they were fishermen and this St he said to them he said come follow me he didn't try to have a class with them he said just follow me just follow me and I'll take you where you need to go and you'll do what you need to do let me tell you something keep following Jesus keep following Jesus God raised up men the Apostle Paul said follow me as I follow Christ God raised up men as prophets and evangelists and teachers and pastors amen and apostles but their main goal amen that we follow them as they follow Christ if they stop following Christ we keep in the Christ direction we keep following Jesus Hallelujah and if we follow him guess what Jesus said if you follow me the works that I do you will do also so when people come to me they said there no more miracles for today I said but guess what Jesus said he's the same yesterday today and forever who worked more miracles than Jesus and if I'm going to follow Jesus I'm going to be a miracle worker if I'm going to follow Jesus I'm going to cast out demons if I'm going to follow Jesus amen the power of God is going to be released if I'm going to follow Jesus I'm going to be submitted to the father's will Jesus said follow me and you will be fishes of men there's nobody more attractive than Jesus that's right he says follow me it's the key to reaching the loss and then the other commandment Jesus says he said let your light shine which is connected to being a good fisherman in Matthew 5:14 to16 Jesus says you are the light of the world he was given them their identity let me tell you something the most important thing is to know who you are how people think about themselves have a lot to do with how they conduct themselves he says you he gives them a sense of identity he says you are the light of the world he's talking to 11 men you are the light of the world and he said a city set on a hill cannot be hidden let me tell you something when you're a follower of Jesus you cannot be hidden you will be noticed he says cannot be hidden nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket tell somebody don't put your light the wrong place I hear some people they said pastor I don't want to be seen I said well guess what if you're following Jesus you're going to be seen you're going to be noticed and God wants you to be seen he doesn't want you to display yourself he wants you to display the glory of God you know there's there's there's what we call reflective light you know the moon does not have any light of itself the moon reflects the light of the sun and it lights up the night and that's what we are we don't have any light of ourselves we reflect we reflect the light of God the Apostle Paul said the light of God that are shine forth in our hearts and so God shines through us and people see that light and they come to see the source of that light and when they come to see the source of that light we can tell them what that light is so he says a city on a Hilltop cannot be hidden he says no no nobody lights a lamp and put it on the a basket but on a stand and it gives light in the house in the same way someone say in the same way let your light so shine before men God wants men and women to see you to be exposed to you amen they see your life they see your commitment to Christ and let me tell you something that light does something he says so that they may see your good works and glorify your father which is in heaven do you know that you can cause people to glorify God yes sir by simply following Jesus loving him and being committed to him good now in the Bahamas when we fish we fish with a rod well not even rods most of the time we see with rods we said we know that they're tourists tourists fish with rods we fish with a line in our hands and you put it out there the water and you you feel it on the finger okay feel it on the finger but we usually catch one fish at a time and why do we do that because we're a small community and we used to just catching enough fish for ourselves the Bahamas the the the the Seas of the Bahamas almost have more fish than almost any country in the world because we're a small population we usually don't get enough fish to eat and that's it certain fish are outlawed for this catch like it's illegal to kill sharks in the Bahamas that's why we have more sharks in any country in the world we catch a shark we loose it we let it go why they they're part of the ecology they really keep things working okay Bohemians only eat four major there are thousands of fish in our water we only eat about four major kinds of fish so guess what we have poaches that come from Cuba and Dominican Republic and they come in our Waters and and then we have the the wealthier people that come to United States and they come to big boats and they they fish for the tuna and all of that type of stuff but for us okay but we use a line and a bait but that's not how they fished uh in the time that Peter was Peter those they didn't fish with lines they fish with Nets now we don't fish with Nets in the Bahamas because you know it it takes up it when you have a net that drags up everything all the turtles and the Sharks and and the stuff you don't want and you end up killing them cuz sometimes they die in the Nets and so but it pulls up everything right but so this is what they did they fished with light and they would fish in the night you remember when Jesus came to Peter and Peter said we had toiled all night now in the Bahamas we mostly fish we go in the morning we don't we don't usually fish in the night we fish in the morning until tell all day until the Sun come down but they would fish in the night and what they would do is they had a light and they would Shine the Light over a spot and the light would attract the fish amen and when all the fish was attracted to that light they would take the net and they would haul up the fish and so Jesus says to them he says if you follow me you fishermen if you follow me I will make you fishes of men and then he said let your light shine because the light of Jesus Christ attracts people Amen to that light and when they attracted to that light then you can pull them in amen into the presence of God into the glory of God let me let you know something when we don't let our light shine amen we cause people to go away from God instead of coming to God but when our light shine you know was just about a year ago I I served for five years as the um um president of the Grandmama Christian Council now the Bahamas we have a Christian Council it's ate on the protocol of government uh authorities in the Bahamas and when it comes to matters of social moral and spiritual situations the government comes to get Cel from the church so if they're passing a law that they that that has a a spiritual moral or social impact they come to the church we get the pastors together I meet with those pastors we communicate to them with laws what uh policies they want to make and we give our input on that and we go to the government and I said we've met with the pastors and on this issue this is where the church stands this is where the church stands and the government will make the decision whether they're going to take the advice of the church or not and most cases if they don't I can assure you they will not be the same government they will not be the government again theyve tested it over and over again and so many times they would say this we've met with the church we've met with the business Community we've met with other stakeholders and we've come to this conclusion but I was meeting in one in in Grand Bahama we would to call a Port Authority we have a chairman of the Port Authority uh she's of English descent but they've been in the Bahamas pretty much for almost 40 years years so she's she's a Beeman in her family but they are the presidents the chairman of the port authority and when we went through the hurricane but that city was devastated and we were sitting in a meeting with them talking about how we can rebuild the city and how we need to feed about 25,000 people a day breakfast lunch and dinner for almost 6 months because we had no water and no planes could come and no ships could come and and all the fruit stores were destroyed but let me tell you something she came to me and she said pastor she said could you pray for us that God would help us get what a she said I look at you P that call your as chrisen she said i'm' amazed how you are so at peace in the midst of all of this tragedy and you're still happy and you're still contented and many of you have lost your homes and lost your cars and and um had some family members that have died and she this is what she said to me she said that peace and contentment that you have where do you get it from I said it comes from God and our faith in Jesus Christ and this next thing she said she says I want that she said I've been all over the world trying to find contentment she said want that could you pray for me that I would have that she said that's what I want that no matter what's happening in my life I still have a sense of Peace a sense of contentment and a sense of Joy even if I lost everything that I have I want that I had another gentleman said to me he said pastor he says I don't I don't I don't have need of anything he said I have all the money that I that I need I can buy anything that I want he says but I'm still not contented and I'm asking myself why am I still not contented what is it that causes me still not to be content even though I have everything I want or could get anything that I want and he said pastor where do you find that where do you find it the light will attract the fish in the aftermath of the hurricane Dorian which is the worst hurricane in our history let me tell you something we end up feeding about 25,000 people a day and um the government said someone asked the question as I was sitting in a meeting how are we going to feed all of these people three times a day we had uh we had um um let me talk about we had conver of hope that came and worked with us and made us um roshelle and myself we were there uh uh representative in charge of distribution in the island and they said this with other um child organizations that came they said you know we don't have enough buildings to supply there's enough government buildings to meet everybody's need all over the the city and all over the island and then the minister of Grand Bahama who attended my church's a deacon in our church he stood up and he says guess what he says guess what the churches can do it that's that's because the churches are used to Distributing to people all over the city every day and he says this he said people amen he says we meet with the government we got people together like every five years during the time of election but he said guess what thousands of people sit in churches every single week can to listen to these pastors and they get the gospel out to them and we're going to say to them just how you get the gospel out to them you know how to get things out to people in every neighborhood at the same time and they said we'll use the churches there's a church in every community and they said pastor can you mobilize the pastors I said guess what and guess what I did Apostle we were able to mobilize the same team of pastors that work with the Bahamas for Jesus and called them together because Bahamas for Jesus was just a a couple months before the hurricane hit Grand Bahama we were able to take that same data bring all of those pastors together thousands of churches andican churches Catholic churches you know what a an andan Church Pastor said to me he said to me he said I didn't know you Pentecostal guys were so nice he said if I had known I would I would hang out with you guys more I said I don't know what you thought about us okay and guess what pastors came together that had never Methodist pastors that are never connected with Catholics or anglicans or Pentecostals or Independents came together and guess what we begin to find out that many of us love Jesus hey tell them about the tell about the Archbishop was there the church when your guy got healed and he was started dancing we had one of the Bishops in the Anan church he came because it was the Bahamas for Jesus and he said to me this is the first time I've ever been in a Pentecostal church I don't go to but you know they think they're high church and we're low church I don't know if you in the Bahamas the Anan Church in the Bahamas is considered the state Church okay the state church because of course we were under England and Anin church is the state Church of England okay and the queen was our head of state and so he comes in there and it's his first Pentecostal experience and they ask me where did you find this crazy white man I'm going to tell you the truth where did you find him I said well we met him in Illinois but matter of fact people still ask me that even from even in America some of our friends we brought them here last year the glory the glory right they're right from Chicago and they ask where did you find this guy and he comes there and for the first time he's seen a miracle in his life now I told Apostle James I believe he has an anointing for causing legs to grow yeah we had a guy in my church he's been in an accident uh uh almost died all of his bones were crushed his hit bones is it from his waist down because the the whole front of the vehicle came into his um from his stomach down crushed his legs broken hip broken legs um he has legs broke on both Sid three or five times he had about three or four surgeries and they have a a pin in his foot but one of his feet is about this high he wears a shoe but that thick because one of the feet is shorter than the other and he comes in that service and I mean God begins to move and I don't know what he Apostle apostle comes up there Apostle says come up here and he sits him in the chair and guess what everybody's staring because we've never seen a mirac like that in the Bahamas and guess the people are saying let me see what's going to happen let me see what's going to happen here and I mean the whole church is staring the the camer is on there his foot is on there and Apostle takes off his shoes and said guess what um um and and guess we can see it his foot literally grows an extra inch and a half I love that I'm the Church goes crazy and guess what the uned bishop he jumps up and he starts reeling around he's seen a mirle for the first time in his life in that church and guess what everybody's surprised because anglicans don't they don't move you know they sit down like you know you guys y'all are just crazy you know yeah and um for the first time and the light of God yeah let me tell you something the light of God the miracle just following Jesus this is what Jesus does this is what he does and let me tell you something for all methodists anacin Catholics or whatever I mean seen the power of God that have' never seen it before many of them are exposed to Pentecostal preachers for the first time and people during that time our church let me tell you something we didn't have enough seat for the people to get into to come into our church we had people outside lining up for food and every morning I would come out and I would say do you want me to pray for you everybody said yes Pastor pray for us and I would pray for them every morning we begin before we begin to distribute the food and pray for them and some people come and say pray for me people had lost their houses they had lost their cars they had lost their businesses and amen but guess what the joy of the Lord and we had a move of God in that City let me tell you something for three months we did not have one crime that took place just the power of God and one of our American Brothers said to us he said man I can't believe it he says there's no looting but please don't tell him not even respond guess what they didn't have to respond none at all I'm sh this last story we were in an area I was talking with a guy who had lost everything he said he was sitting on a rock and I could see his he was feeling low in his spirit and he said to me Pastor when he showed me his house his house was totally destroyed he said pastor this is my house I have three businesses he said I lost my house my three businesses he said all of this I've built over 35 years in one night 35 years of my life is totally wiped out and he says and I'm 63 years of age I'm two years from retirement I know I cannot get it back and I began to share Jesus with him and he says pastor after he gives his life to the Lord and he says Pastor he says you know what I'm going to be all right God's going to take care of me and I begin to walk out of that small island area and everybody comes to me and they're surprised and I'm trying to wonder what they're surprised about they said did that guy let you talk to him about Jesus I said yes he did they said he never listens to anybody that comes to talk him about God he says he said if anybody else came to talk him he would chase them away cuss them out he said we can't believe that he just sat there and listened to you through that situation God had humbled his heart and he come to realize that he could not put his trust in all that he possessed and as we talked he said pastor I sense a joy in my soul that even though 35 years of my life have been wiped out and I will probably not get back again everything that I have he says I have a sense that God is going to take care of me and I'm going to be all right the light of God and we saw people just by sharing Jesus and letting people know that God is a miracle working God you see in situations like these when when human uh capacity comes to an end even the people that don't believe in miracles start to believe in miracles on because it's like if only God Only God can bring us out of this Jesus said if you follow me I'll make you fishes of men he says and if you let your light shine men will be drawn to you listen to me signs and wonders and miracles is a part of the light of God operating in us it is a natural outflow of anyone that follows Jesus the disciples knew it and they went out and with Jesus said I'm going to give you another helper if you if you love me and keep my Commandments I will give you another helper just like me and guess what he's going to enable you to do exactly what I have done Hal hallelujah what did Jesus do with sickness he brought healing what did he do with demons he cast them out what did he do with oppression he said people free Hallelujah he told people the woman of the well said he told me my whole life God still does all of that and we've seen that this week Hallelujah and for us that I come from other country we go back home and we go back with a greater anointing and we testify what God has done and it builds faith in our people and they said God what you've done in Illinois we want you to do it right here and it causes us to give glory to God and so church I want to thank you so much for just honoring God being a light and obeying God because you cause others as they see your light guess
