Uganda. That's so good to be

12
00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:04.519
my family. I've been here for
about two months now, one month to

13
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:10.000
go go back end of June.
I missed my family, but it's one

14
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:15.000
of those things you've got to go
to do for When you sign up for

15
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:19.719
ministry, you sign up for sacrifice, so it's one of the things.

16
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:26.519
But gracing for my family. My
wife, the same wife I had last

17
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:34.400
time, was here. She still
with me and UH two kids and my

18
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:41.640
daughter just turned twenty three this uh
this last week and my son is seventeen.

00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:49.200
Last match, so growing family even
Wow this you are an amazing church.

00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:55.400
You are as I travel through the
US, you are an amazing church,

21
00:01:56.400 --> 00:02:00.799
very very special and very very different. Uh. The way you approach

22
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:06.640
world missions local to Globo is just
amazing. I know a lot of churches

23
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:10.560
that have kicked missions out of their
programs and whatever they do, they want

24
00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:17.280
to focus right building greater churches.
But you guys amazing. Thank you pass

25
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:23.599
a Joel for your passion, for
your intesty on missions, world dimissions thinks.

26
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:29.840
Thanks doing and as this church maybe
many of you don't know, but

27
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:35.080
as being very very instrumental in our
minutes back in Africa in helping us to

28
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:39.439
do a lot of projects that we
do for many many years. Supported um

29
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:45.599
Papa and Mama study for many many
years. And now you sent us the

30
00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:51.159
Jefferies as she as you had.
They are coming to serve with us and

31
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:55.240
we are going to put them to
work. Thank you so much for sending

32
00:02:55.319 --> 00:03:00.719
them to our way and we are
so grateful and all the project that you've

33
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:07.439
done in Uganda in Africa in general. Thank you so so much. Uganda.

34
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:12.479
It's just an amazing country we are. Uganda is the size of the

35
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:17.560
state of Oregon, but now we
are forty five media and Ugandans. Yeah.

36
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:23.639
Also people you come to Compile,
you have more people working on the

37
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:28.919
street than cars. You come here
and you're more cars more than people.

38
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:35.360
That but that's Uganda and so and
our under our population to our forty five

39
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:38.560
million, and fifty percent of that
is under the age of eighteen right now.

40
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:45.919
So we happen to be the second
youngest population in the world. And

41
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:53.280
uh so, we have lots of
kids and our ministry is leading involved in

42
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:58.479
building schools. We have twenty four
primary schools right now and each school is

43
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:05.400
avileging two hundred kids. There are
about almost five and five thousand kids that

44
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:13.199
we minister two every week through out
Uganda in our schools. You need to

45
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:16.360
understand when we talk about school,
they come from all kinds of background,

46
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:23.600
Muslims and they believers whichever. But
when they come to our schools, we

47
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:28.680
opened school in the morning with prayer, we read the Bible, they get

48
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:31.360
to sing Jesus. We don't care
whether you're a Muslim or atheists. Or

49
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:35.639
whatever you are, you'll go to
pray in the name, in the name

50
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:41.160
of Jesus. And you know how
powerful the name is. You can only

51
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:46.639
pray and say the name a few
times before you get addicted and taken over

52
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:50.079
by the name. So many of
those kids that are now born again and

53
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:55.639
they come through our schools seven years. By the end of seven years,

54
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:59.279
you know, many of them are
spilled the field. They know the world,

55
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:01.839
they know we teach them out to
pray. When you come, we

56
00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:06.680
shall ask our kids to lay hands
on you. We now run about in

57
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:13.560
our fellowship. We run about three
hundred six or seven churches in the fellowship

58
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:17.920
that I lead and are a vileging
two hundred people per church. That's almost

59
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:25.720
ten thousand people with minutes are two
throughout Uganda every week. And those churches

60
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:30.279
are planting more churches, reaching out
to their only communities and doing a lot

61
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:34.120
of work. Feears back this church. Passon, Joe, you got behind

62
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:40.680
one of our major churches, Passer
Helen, a Passer Jacob and Helen in

63
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:45.399
the cumuland you helped us build the
school for that community. It's outstanding.

64
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:49.920
It's the biggest Christian school in that
community. As reaching a lot of kids,

65
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:56.600
and the well and everything you did
in that community who outlasts us all

66
00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:01.639
and many many kids are going to
be blessed through generations. The school will

67
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:05.680
never go away. It would be
a blessing to the community for many many

68
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:12.519
years to come. And so we
are not only living for today, but

69
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:15.959
we are looking to the future.
And that's what the church should be.

70
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:18.759
All of us should be looking to
the future for whatever we do. And

71
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:24.959
so building schools we don't we don't
gain even in our organization. We don't

72
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:29.560
build these schools for profit. We
build them to benefit the community, to

73
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:35.079
educate our people. And so many
of those kids have been being educated,

74
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:39.959
and we are changing a nation.
If you give a kid two things.

75
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:45.480
One, if you give them Jesus
and give them education, the sky is

76
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:49.000
the limit. They can do anything. They can become anything. And so

77
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:55.600
thank you again, so somnd for
getting involved in those projects. And may

78
00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:59.800
the Lord bless you so much.
Pass A doing many many years ago uk

79
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:03.120
him and gave us a teaching and
recover life. I see use your teaching

80
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:13.040
is such a powerful tool in the
hands of that is working so much confusion

81
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:18.920
and so much abuse. But your
teaching. I took a free young people

82
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:24.439
through the teaching and I gave and
I set them free to go and now

83
00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:30.519
they're using it. The Universities Mcallary
is our biggest university and we have a

84
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:35.680
fellowship. We have a young man
who is a former Muslim that is part

85
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:41.480
of my pastoral team now. But
he the Lord gave him a vision to

86
00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:46.319
go and start a fellowship, not
a church, in downtown Comparer. So

87
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:51.000
they meet every Monday, every Monday
night and he gathers people and churched people

88
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:57.279
from all kinds of background and he
prays with him and teaches the world.

89
00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:03.360
And now recently he was able to
pay natured through the universities and he's busing

90
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:09.199
university students into the fellowship every Monday. And guess what, there's just so

91
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:16.720
much abuse that people don't talk about
when you go closer to people, and

92
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:22.240
there's a coming one on one.
That teaching is helping us, our Lord,

93
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:28.959
So thank you so much for taking
time to write them that program that

94
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:33.440
is setting people free. Amen.
Well, um, I need to read

95
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:39.919
the Bible right yeah, because see
some of you looking at me. Is

96
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:43.720
that in the Bible? No?
But it's what the Bible does. But

97
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:50.559
let's read the Bible. In Matthew
twenty eight, verse eighteen. Matthew twenty

98
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:56.240
eight and verse eighteen, Jesus says, and Jesus came, The Bible says,

99
00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:01.600
and Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, all authority has been

100
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:07.639
given to me in heaven and earth, God the lafol and make disciples of

101
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:11.919
all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father, the Son,

102
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:16.639
and the Holy Spirit, teaching them
to observe all things that I've commanded you.

103
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:20.399
And lo, I am with you
always, even to the end of

104
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:26.279
the age. Amen. Now this
is one of the most profound scriptures in

105
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:30.639
the Bible. This is Jesus after
res election. You know, if you

106
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:35.919
last apol, we were able to
celebrate Easter, the resurlection of the Lord,

107
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:39.279
so you know how he suffered.
He was chrisified. But on the

108
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:43.120
third day he came out. And
when he came out, he go he

109
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:50.039
appeared to the disciples. Jesus never
appeared to anyone who did not believe after

110
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:54.080
the res election. He only appeared
to those who believed in including his disciples.

111
00:09:54.120 --> 00:10:00.639
And when he met them, he
made this profound fundamental statement. He

112
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:05.799
said, all authority in heaven and
on earth has been given to me.

113
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:13.320
No one in history has ever made
such a statement. We had a present

114
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:16.240
in Uganda. You mean that he
tried to be a life present in Uganda.

115
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:20.519
He lasted eighty years. We have
had dictators all over the world that

116
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:26.559
have tried to rule in their time
and controlations, but they are all gone.

117
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:33.960
No one remembers them. But Jeezus
stands up and makes a profound fundamental

118
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:39.840
statements. All authority, not one
here in on earth, but in heaven,

119
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:43.840
has been given to me. Now
for you to understand the power in

120
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:50.679
that statement, you need to understand
this is a military statement their own military

121
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:56.639
generals can make after conquering territories.
If you guys live, are used to

122
00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:01.159
live in a democracy still, I
believe you still do. But you also

123
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:05.799
need to understand. For some of
us who come from Africa, we are

124
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:11.519
used to live in kingdoms and in
the kingdom living and the king. Your

125
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:16.240
opinion doesn't leading matter, doesn't count. It's only in the democracy you got

126
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:20.440
a voice. You can say whatever
you want, whether it will be done

127
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.480
or not. But in the kingdom, the king is your authority and whatever

128
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:30.720
he says, it goes no question, no debate, no opinion, and

129
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:35.120
so gee. When Jesus stands up
and say all authority has been given to

130
00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:41.600
me, he's making a militarist segment, telling that I have conquered. I

131
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:46.960
have authority over life, over creation, I am in charge. I am

132
00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:54.399
the king. Anything else is under
my feet. I wish you'll wake up

133
00:11:54.519 --> 00:12:03.399
and I understand that this is Jesus
swirling in after winning a war, and

134
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:09.360
he says all authority nonsund not over
the US, not over seat. All

135
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:16.480
authority, including politics, economy,
or fears of influence, power belongs to

136
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:24.799
God. And that's seriality. The
church needs to wake up too and understand

137
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:30.759
we belong to a kingdom that has
a king that is in charge of human

138
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:37.159
affairs. He's not dead, he's
known forgotten. He's still in charge.

139
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:43.399
As as as I move around your
nation, I feel the fear, I

140
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:50.080
feel the darkness, I feel the
trained your national is taking. It sounds

141
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:58.480
like you are going where Africa is
coming from. Used to be so dark

142
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:01.039
in Africa, but Africa is coming
out. And for some reason, I

143
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:07.440
don't know why you your nation is
trying to walk back backward. But I'm

144
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:11.399
telling you, when I read this
scripture, I get excited. We are

145
00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:18.919
living in exciting times. The darkness
may be covering this nation, but let

146
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:24.120
me tell you something. God is
still on the throne. Jesus still still

147
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:31.639
has authority and power. No one
can vote him out. He has no

148
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:37.679
term limits on the throne. I'm
just encouraging you to wake up because many

149
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:41.759
of you in the church are walking
in fear. You are so scared about

150
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:48.480
what's coming, about what's next.
There is an uncertainty all over the world.

151
00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:52.000
But one thing we are sure a
lot. The Word of God is

152
00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:58.639
true. It never changes. Jesus
said, Oh, authority has been given

153
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:03.360
to me. Then he turned to
his fible disciples that has been hiding,

154
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:09.919
that had been hiding in hiding for
a few days. Peter, the chief

155
00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:13.159
spokesman, had denied these or three
times fifty days before. He turned to

156
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:18.559
them and said, they are for
Go in my name, he says,

157
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:22.279
in maxis and in my name,
go and make disciples. He tells them,

158
00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:28.240
not on only small villages or small
town he says, go and disciple

159
00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:35.960
nations. That's a big responsibility right
there, to tell twelve former fishermen to

160
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:41.320
disciple nations. I don't know whether
Peter could write and read, but I

161
00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:46.799
guess he did. But it was
given as such an assignment to disciple nations,

162
00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:52.519
something bigger than himself. All the
apostles, the twelve Apostles, we

163
00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:56.279
know their names, but some of
them we don't know what they said.

164
00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:01.559
But Jesus turned to them and tell
them trust them because of his power,

165
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:07.559
not depending on their ability, but
his power, he says. He turned

166
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:11.360
to them and said, all authority
has been given to me that in my

167
00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:16.960
name, if you go in my
name, you concarnations, and you disciple

168
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:22.840
them. And these two of guys
they believed what Jesus told them. He

169
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:26.960
saw the record. They went out
of Jeosalem and scattered all over the known

170
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:33.120
world and started preaching the Gospel everywhere. Jesus didn't. Peter denied jes Are

171
00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:37.840
three times in the Gospels, but
in the Book of a Chapter two,

172
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:43.720
the Bible says, when the day
of Pentecost had fully come, the Holy

173
00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:48.840
Spirit descended on them, and people
started mocking them. Guests who stood up

174
00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:54.720
and spoke boldly. It was Peter. And in first Crusade, three thousand

175
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:58.840
people got born again. The next
time Peter preachers, five thousand get born

176
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:03.919
again. In less than a month, the church had grown to almost ten

177
00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:11.720
thousand people. Why all authority in
heaven was given to the name of Jesus,

178
00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:15.799
that we ever believed in Him shall
not plish. And so these guys

179
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:21.159
believed, and they went everywhere approaching. And so I just want to wake

180
00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:25.279
you up to the reality that we
are living in a time when God is

181
00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:30.759
about to burst out on the Church
again with an outpouring of we spread upon

182
00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:34.960
each one of us, and we
really need to get ready. The darkness

183
00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:41.200
is not just something that should scare
us. A darkness should only be a

184
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:45.759
reminder to each one of us that
we need to position ourselves, get ready

185
00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:52.120
weight for the outpouring, and then
be ready to be used whichever where God

186
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:55.720
is calling you to be used.
But this is not a time to hide,

187
00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:59.279
This is not a time to run. This is a time for you

188
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:04.079
to realize either or authority still belongs
to the name of Jesus. I know

189
00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:11.000
your nation is changing laws, and
but you're reading the Bible staff like this

190
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:15.920
happened all over history. Remember the
Book of Esther. Esther lived in a

191
00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:21.839
country in a time when they wanted
to kill all the Jewish people. But

192
00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:26.519
Mordecai reminds Eston says, but you
are in the Kingdom for such a time

193
00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:30.599
as this. You are not just
a queen. So you can enjoy yourself

194
00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:37.400
and forget your paying and forget where
you come from, your position for God's

195
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:41.599
purposes, and esther to be woken
up, because you know, when you

196
00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:48.000
go through so much suffering and you
hit the jackpot, you think God did

197
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:51.519
it for you. But let me
tell you something. Everything God does,

198
00:17:51.799 --> 00:17:56.440
it is for his glory. Everything
God gives you, it is for his

199
00:17:56.720 --> 00:18:02.160
use. Every blessing, every everything
that God will put in your hand is

200
00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:06.839
for the glory of his name.
And it's about time the church works up

201
00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:11.839
to this reality that God is positioning
you in that job, in that company,

202
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:15.680
in that home, in that malage, wherever you are, God is

203
00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:23.920
positioning you just use you for His
kingdom purposes. And so Essa wakes up

204
00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:29.279
and I like what she said when
she was so you need to go in,

205
00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:33.680
and she said I can't, I'm
not invited. And mordeca Is said,

206
00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:36.839
well, if you refuse salvation,
who come from another source, But

207
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:41.680
you and your father's house might polish
as she wakes up and say, I'm

208
00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:45.519
going to I'm going to go in. If I Polish, I Polish.

209
00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:49.200
That's a kind of faith each one
of us needs to build right now.

210
00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:56.079
If I Polish, I Polish need
to get ready for that. If I

211
00:18:56.240 --> 00:19:02.079
Polish, I Pelish, you need
to be ready. That's what the Great

212
00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:07.839
Commission called us. Peter and his
friends were all except one, that we're

213
00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:11.480
muttered that we are killed for the
cause of the Gospel, that we are

214
00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:18.119
ready. You read another another character
in the Bible, Daniel. Daniel lived

215
00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:26.240
in the kingdom that was so under
darkness over a thousand fallen forced gods.

216
00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:32.640
And one day Daniel wakes up and
the king comes up with a very weird

217
00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:34.880
idea. He said, I'm going
to make us at you and everyone in

218
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:40.160
this kingdom that he has the sound
of a trumpet shall bow down and worship

219
00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:44.640
this idol. A. Daniel says, no, I live for the living

220
00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:48.559
God. I have the King of
kings leaving me. I worship no other

221
00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:53.079
god but Jehovah. And he was
told him, well, will kill you

222
00:19:53.680 --> 00:20:00.319
if you refuse. Daniel refused,
bowed, and his friends a mesad and

223
00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:04.359
bend. They refuse, bow down
too the statue, and the king called

224
00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:07.839
the Bible says. The King called
the three boys and says, do you

225
00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:11.880
understand what you're doing? Do you
understand the power that I have in me?

226
00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:15.079
I can throw you in the funnace
and you'll be bad. And the

227
00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:19.000
boys said, oh, King,
we totally understand how powerful you are.

228
00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:23.519
But you also need to understand the
God that we serve can save us.

229
00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:30.279
How many people believe God can save
in every situation, in any situation.

230
00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:34.640
But I like what they added on. Then you said, I but even

231
00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:42.799
if it doesn't, because faith gives
you that extra point. Even if it

232
00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:48.440
doesn't, He is able to save. But even if it doesn't, will

233
00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:52.519
not worship another God. That's the
kind of faith you need in Washington right

234
00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:59.920
now. You need it you otherwise, you guys, when the fire gets

235
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:07.000
going, the fearful will lose.
The fearful well, never see them again.

236
00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:11.920
I remember sold told in Uganda during
he the mean Dada, he said,

237
00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:15.960
we can't have painted costals of Bonn
again Christian and destination. And there

238
00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:21.680
all this particular church full gospel.
They call it full gospel. They said,

239
00:21:21.799 --> 00:21:26.000
we will continue to fellowship and a
solid sold one day a person.

240
00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:32.759
A few if you believers were in
the church praying, and the soldiers came

241
00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:37.279
and surrounded the church, and the
soldiers said, okay, if you are

242
00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:41.920
born again, come this side.
If you are not, come to this

243
00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:45.720
side. And the person was the
first to say I am born again,

244
00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:48.920
except on one side, and the
majority of the people said I'm not.

245
00:21:51.079 --> 00:21:55.759
They said, well, I will
deny Jesus now and repent later when I

246
00:21:55.920 --> 00:22:00.240
go out of the building. Guess
what. The soldiers looked at the people

247
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:04.039
will deny Jesus and told you are
the people who are confusing us. So

248
00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:08.960
they arrested all those who deny Jesus
and took them to prison and never appeared

249
00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:15.640
again. You need to be strong
for your faith and you don't need to

250
00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:19.119
be fearful. This is a time
for boldness people. We are getting in

251
00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:23.319
a time where we need to stand
up and say he will save us.

252
00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:30.880
But if it doesn't, we will
know. We will not bow down to

253
00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:37.160
this stupidly law that they are coming
up with. Will not bow down to

254
00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:41.119
whatever they are forcing our kids to
do. We refuse in the name of

255
00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:45.240
Jesus. And you need to have
that faith. If I polish, I

256
00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:49.039
polish, If he serves, it
will save me body. If he doesn't,

257
00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:55.880
I am determined to go all the
way. That's the kind of faith

258
00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:59.279
you need to develop in the US. And the time is now, you

259
00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:03.519
don't have a a lot of time
is getting darker. But the darkness is

260
00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:07.480
a stage for the show of power. And guess who has the power?

261
00:23:08.839 --> 00:23:15.839
The Church in him. We have
the power. The church doesn't lose.

262
00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:19.519
Why because the Master is on the
throne. So I just wanted to bring

263
00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:25.119
a challenge to you this morning,
also to wake you up and realize that

264
00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:30.440
we are not a people to hide. We are not a people to be

265
00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:33.279
scared of anything. We are not
called to fear. We are We've not

266
00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:38.640
been given a spirit of fear.
We have Cross sitting on the inside of

267
00:23:38.839 --> 00:23:42.400
us. And he is a Lord
of Lord, the master of nature,

268
00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:48.720
the Lula, the king of kings. Every dominion, throne and power is

269
00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:53.599
under him. He has the power
and you happen to know him. And

270
00:23:53.759 --> 00:24:00.359
so I want to challenge you that
during this next the next month, you

271
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:07.359
need to start realizing who you are
and so doing missions. And as we

272
00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:14.880
use the Great commission Matthew twenty eight
eighten go into the world and make disciples.

273
00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:19.000
I believe this is um. We've
seen this happen in Africa and it's

274
00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:26.279
been such a It has brought such
a fundamental change in many of our communities

275
00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:32.720
all over Africa, everywhere we went. This book that I wrote about my

276
00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:38.160
story, it happens in a small
village called Massulater. I lost part of

277
00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:44.599
my family during the civil war there, my sister, my grandfather, my

278
00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:48.559
many other latives that I knew that
you were killed during the war. But

279
00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:55.119
the Lord took me back after after
Bible college. After I came and lived

280
00:24:55.160 --> 00:24:59.200
with Mama Sudan and Pap around took
me through high school, Bible college.

281
00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:03.559
The Lord sent me back to that
village, that small community, and told

282
00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:07.960
me go and planty church. And
when I went back there with my wife,

283
00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:11.119
everyone who came to our church had
the same story like mine. They

284
00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:15.160
had lost their families gone through the
war. But the Lord had taken me

285
00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:19.400
out and healed me and sent me
back to bring hitting to my people.

286
00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:25.279
And I'm telling you that community there
has been changed by the preaching of the

287
00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:30.480
Gospel. It is different. Twenty
years later, you go there, you

288
00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:36.240
cannot trace whatever we found there at
the beginning God. The gospel is the

289
00:25:36.400 --> 00:25:42.039
power of God to save. And
I can tell you individual stories of what

290
00:25:42.359 --> 00:25:47.559
God did. Let me finish with
a few as successful stories. When I

291
00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:52.640
when I just went in through that
village, there was one evening I was

292
00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:56.079
in my house and I got a
knock on my door and there was this

293
00:25:56.319 --> 00:26:00.319
lady with two kids. She had
just lost a husband to suicide. He

294
00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:03.920
found out he had AIDS and he
couldn't live with it, so he took

295
00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:07.720
his own life. And say a
few weeks later, this one woman walks

296
00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:11.359
to my house and she knocks on
my door in the evening and told me,

297
00:26:12.279 --> 00:26:15.640
do you have Jesus? I said
yes, and she told me I

298
00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:18.440
want you Jesus. So she got
born again and she started coming to chat.

299
00:26:18.799 --> 00:26:22.559
A few months down the road,
she got very, very sick,

300
00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:26.079
and she's at the point of death. She went. She goes into Comma

301
00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:30.359
and her family, the girls around
and they said things they're not supposed to

302
00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:34.480
say during her time in Comma.
When she came out, she knew what

303
00:26:34.599 --> 00:26:37.720
they had said. She called me
and told me, when I die,

304
00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:41.839
I'm not leaving my kids without my
family. I'm giving them to you.

305
00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:47.680
She died a few weeks later,
and I took the two kids, a

306
00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:51.319
boy and a girl, and I
took them in my house. Me and

307
00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:53.559
my wife, we raised those two
kids. We took them to school.

308
00:26:55.039 --> 00:27:00.119
Well, they grew up and received
a great education. Right now they the

309
00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:04.319
girl is married with three kids.
And the boy, the young man Isaac,

310
00:27:04.400 --> 00:27:07.799
he just found an American girl,
got married and now they live in

311
00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:14.319
Roseberg, Roseberg, Oregon. And
he's a worship leader. Before he left,

312
00:27:14.599 --> 00:27:18.680
Uganda was our main worship leader.
And Uganda he did music in school

313
00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:23.680
and he's a very talented young man. He has recorded worship music. You

314
00:27:23.799 --> 00:27:30.799
can find his musical Apple Music,
and you can enjoy his worship. But

315
00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:36.599
when he first came to me,
he was just an orphan total opened,

316
00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:41.039
no further, no mother, and
I had no idea that it will turn

317
00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:45.400
out to be such an instrument and
instrumental person in our ministry. He's now

318
00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:51.319
writing music that we're using even in
our mean in our men in our churches

319
00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:56.279
who to worship the Lord. And
so when you support mission causes like this,

320
00:27:57.079 --> 00:28:00.640
you never you you will never put
faces on the way like that.

321
00:28:02.279 --> 00:28:07.079
But they are faces behind and they
are individuals, they are real people behind

322
00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:14.440
what you give, and you will
never see everywhere every kid getting water from

323
00:28:14.519 --> 00:28:18.279
that world. But they are hundreds
of kid that will come to draw water

324
00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:25.319
from those worlds and they will be
thankful that you gave. And so I

325
00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:30.440
just want to encourage you that this
thing is real. And when you give

326
00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:34.279
the money to us, to our
organizers, and we just don't just give

327
00:28:34.319 --> 00:28:40.839
away the water that give. We
give you water, and we give you

328
00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:47.319
Jesus. We take you to school
and we preach Jesus because it's not just

329
00:28:47.559 --> 00:28:52.240
about giving. It's the mainly cause
saving souls. Because everything else will pass

330
00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:57.240
away by one thing will remain the
people that we bring to the Kingdom who

331
00:28:57.440 --> 00:29:02.759
be with us in heaven. So
day when everything is said and done and

332
00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:07.839
we gather in heaven, that would
be hundreds of Africans. And I can

333
00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:14.839
tell you right now that you Americans, I will never come to your corner

334
00:29:14.960 --> 00:29:18.720
during worship because the way you worship, you stand the suit during good music.

335
00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:26.079
Africans who we dance, we raise
hand. We need the space for

336
00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:32.519
worship. So I told myself doing
worship in heaven, I'll go to the

337
00:29:32.640 --> 00:29:42.480
African side. But I can't wait
pass a jeer when we get to heaven.

338
00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:45.759
All these kids would be hanging around
you and saying, oh, I

339
00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:49.240
went to the school you build.
I drank from the well you dug.

340
00:29:49.799 --> 00:29:56.279
I went to school because of what
everything you did is because you gave that

341
00:29:56.400 --> 00:29:59.599
I made it to heaven. There
are many stories that I can't tell you

342
00:29:59.720 --> 00:30:03.200
right now. Now we can give
you a financial countability for what you give,

343
00:30:03.640 --> 00:30:08.920
but spiritual countabilities why you need to
go to heaven. There will be

344
00:30:10.279 --> 00:30:15.599
hundreds of people from Korea, from
England, You, Ganda, Vietnam,

345
00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:19.000
all these nations will be presented here. Let me tell you something, people,

346
00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:25.720
the Kingdom of God is so civil, alive and kicking. And I

347
00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:30.640
want to encourage use this morning.
If you, if you you you you

348
00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:33.640
are still doubting that you need to
give to missions. This is the reason

349
00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:40.519
why we exist at the church,
to build the kingdom, not only here

350
00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:42.920
in Fife, but all over the
world. Because Jesus said, go,

351
00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:48.799
and he told them in the Book
of Arcs one eighty said first in Jailousalem,

352
00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:53.960
then you dare, then Samaria,
and to the utter ends of the

353
00:30:55.079 --> 00:30:59.359
world. He sent them everywhere,
and so this is what we live for

354
00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:03.680
the only reason why we're here.
The Church is to build the Kingdom,

355
00:31:04.279 --> 00:31:10.039
whatever it takes. The only reason
why we exist as the church is to

356
00:31:10.200 --> 00:31:14.319
build the kingdom. And the way
we build the kingdom we give to missions.

357
00:31:14.720 --> 00:31:17.240
We come to mission. Those of
you that have been on a mission

358
00:31:17.359 --> 00:31:21.240
field, I can tell you your
life has never been the same. When

359
00:31:21.319 --> 00:31:23.039
I walk into the church, I
can tell who has ever been on a

360
00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:30.519
mission field and who has never been. There's always a difference. So that's

361
00:31:30.279 --> 00:31:33.240
all I had to say today.
If you need, if you can't buy

362
00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:38.119
a book, just speak a copy
and take it and read. I hope

363
00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:41.519
the book blesses you. Back passenger
