Speaker 1: we give God again the best lab offering. And we
Speaker 1: are declaring that twenty twenty two is the year that
Speaker 1: we start growing mustache and beard. I'm just kidding. It's
Speaker 1: the year that we cut lisha then that is holding
Speaker 1: us back. That's it that we will be unleashed. Man.
Speaker 1: You know this pandemic, it did not happen so that
Speaker 1: we can hold on doing a life not a little
Speaker 1: bit tighter and a little bit closer, because that's what
Speaker 1: happened in this pandemic. Nonai in pandemic and everything. And
Speaker 1: we started hugging and taking notice. We were all fearful
Speaker 1: for our health in our lives. Yu manga goals and
Speaker 1: manna dreams. Nothing la no what I'MI manna depress what
Speaker 1: Imi manna suicide. Actually, you know, this pandemic, it did
Speaker 1: not happen so that we can hold onto our lives.
Speaker 1: Actually it's the other way around. You know. If there's
Speaker 1: something that we could have learned from this past two years,
Speaker 1: it's almost three years, it's that we don't have any
Speaker 1: control over our lives. Do you believe that that's what happened? Right?
Speaker 1: And kit Plan No, once a pandemic happened, once virus
Speaker 1: affects our lives, there's something else that we can do. Amen,
Speaker 1: saving us a probab sixteen nineteen. It's very true right now?
Speaker 1: Is that a man's heart plants his way, but the
Speaker 1: Lord directs his steps the height not on going nine ten,
Speaker 1: going plan not ten. You know, if God says no,
Speaker 1: it's a no. Amen. And because of this pandemic, we
Speaker 1: have focus on ourselves, on our needs. But you know
Speaker 1: God is showing us that instead, God wants us to
Speaker 1: focus on the need of other people around us. We
Speaker 1: believe that's why we are here on this world, you know.
Speaker 1: And the Lord passes, Amen. But you were put here
Speaker 1: on this world, on this earth, six billion people we
Speaker 1: are living together. That means what that we need to
Speaker 1: live our lives merong affect to Hans again and a
Speaker 1: good way. Amen, Because when you when you think about
Speaker 1: only yourselves, you are also affecting other people in a
Speaker 1: very negative way. But God wants us to focus not
Speaker 1: on ourselves and in our needs, but on the needs
Speaker 1: of other people. Amen. You know God is calling us
Speaker 1: to take the attention of ourselves and put it on
Speaker 1: the world around us. I believe that's what being unleashed means,
Speaker 1: being unleashed saying yes to the calling that God has
Speaker 1: for our lives. But you please type in the comments
Speaker 1: section and yes, just three letters, you know, so go
Speaker 1: to my blish and God go. It's just saying yes
Speaker 1: to God's plans, to God's dreams, to God's purpose for
Speaker 1: our lives. Amen. And not only just for our lives.
Speaker 1: But God wants to unleash b TC. That's why in
Speaker 1: declaration and be TC unleashed, Amen, that we will not
Speaker 1: just be unleashed on our own, but we will be
Speaker 1: unleashed as a family, as a church, Amen, to accomplish
Speaker 1: His purpose for our church. Family. Because indilan my purpose individually,
Speaker 1: but God is a purpose for our church. There's a
Speaker 1: purpose why we are gathering together. There's a purpose why
Speaker 1: God allowed you to be a part of this church family,
Speaker 1: and what is that purpose? According us a Bible, that
Speaker 1: Jesus built his church. Jesus built this church, and even
Speaker 1: the gates of Hell will not overcome it. Amen. You know,
Speaker 1: maybe you're saying that Jesus lived in this world. Jesus
Speaker 1: did his ministry for three years, but then you put
Speaker 1: in a you young church. You know, technically yes he
Speaker 1: did not, but honestly, he raised up and he trained
Speaker 1: twelve people that will be the foundation of the church. Pedro,
Speaker 1: you are the rock on which this church will stand.
Speaker 1: And that is you and me as well. Amen. We
Speaker 1: are part of this church. And there is a mission
Speaker 1: for this church. And what is that mission? The same
Speaker 1: mission that Jesus gave before he went up into heaven.
Speaker 1: The disciples were unleashed when Jesus ascended to heaven. You know,
Speaker 1: some some people would call it the great commission, but
Speaker 1: right now I would like to call it the unleashing commission.
Speaker 1: This was the mission that Jesus unleashed his disciples four
Speaker 1: in match of twenty eight, verse eighteen to twenty Saberto.
Speaker 1: Then Jesus came to them and said, all authority in
Speaker 1: heaven has been given to me. Therefore, go and make
Speaker 1: disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of
Speaker 1: the Father and the Son of the Holy Spirit, and
Speaker 1: teaching them everything I have commanded you. And surely I
Speaker 1: am with you always to the very end of the age.
Speaker 1: This is what Jesus is unleashing his disciples us from
Speaker 1: or four. Jesus wants us to go and make disciples. Amen.
Speaker 1: And after this, after putting match of twenty eight, actually
Speaker 1: remy my usk with Tamanga books. But it's just stories
Speaker 1: compiler and it's all part of this one big story.
Speaker 1: After Match of twenty eight. It's the Book of Acts actually,
Speaker 1: and the Books of Us is uh is our stories
Speaker 1: or unleashed stories of the early Church and their disciples
Speaker 1: turning the world, according to survival upside down. And I
Speaker 1: believe that that's what God is unleashing us for. He
Speaker 1: wants to turn this world upside down. He wants to
Speaker 1: turn Yumunga malimpapt right side up. Amen. And the Book
Speaker 1: of Acts tells us that story of how the disciples
Speaker 1: was being unleashed. It us a story of how committed
Speaker 1: ordinary people. I want you to take note of those
Speaker 1: three words committed or ordinary people who made the biggest
Speaker 1: difference and change the world. You know, sometimes I say
Speaker 1: not Magata, you know, Mapa make a difference, mahapak changed
Speaker 1: the Modo. Are the ones who are extraorinary human, a
Speaker 1: super Taliino human, a super yaman in uman, a super
Speaker 1: resourced mantao. And maybe you're thinking that that's not me.
Speaker 1: That's not gonna happen in my life. That's never gonna
Speaker 1: happen in my community. And I'm not going to be
Speaker 1: doing that. Amen. But you know, take note of those words.
Speaker 1: Don't committed ordinary people. They changed the world. This committed
Speaker 1: ordinary people made the biggest difference. And you know what
Speaker 1: that is the church. That's what a church is and
Speaker 1: that's who as a church BTC should be as well. Amen. Again,
Speaker 1: take note the church change the world not because they
Speaker 1: were a group of highly educated people, not because they
Speaker 1: are a group of politically powerful people connected humana mer
Speaker 1: influence of government. No, they're not, Amen. The early change
Speaker 1: the early Church changed the wor world, not because they
Speaker 1: are ultra wealthy influencers. Amen. But the early Church were
Speaker 1: a group of united ordinary people coming together for something
Speaker 1: bigger than themselves. They were being unleashed this extra not
Speaker 1: extra but this ordinary people, ordinary people that God used
Speaker 1: through extra ordinary ways. Amen. And I believe that twenty
Speaker 1: twenty to us as a church be TC, we will
Speaker 1: be unleashed. You're saying that I'm just ordinary. I hope
Speaker 1: it's a simpling. Mamamayan Babaye dumbois the means and number zipelio.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. God can use you. Amen. In God,
Speaker 1: I believe God will use you as well. Amen. Come on,
Speaker 1: can we give God a best love of that? You
Speaker 1: know if you're saying, I want God to use me
Speaker 1: the spite of my of my wrongdoings, in spite of
Speaker 1: my shortcomings, despite of on sacond because the early church
Speaker 1: there were a group of tapic one in an ex
Speaker 1: or united ordinary people. And you know in this time
Speaker 1: a young twenty twenty two, we are living through this
Speaker 1: great opportunity, you know, to live that in our in
Speaker 1: ways that we've never experienced before. You know, before one
Speaker 1: of my prayers before Manyari young BTC. One of my
Speaker 1: prayers God, I want to go back doing a book
Speaker 1: of acts. I want to experience you know what they've experienced,
Speaker 1: and you know be careful what you pray for. After
Speaker 1: a few months, he let me experienced it. He unleashed
Speaker 1: me to become a pastor, to become the pastor of
Speaker 1: Blessed City Church. And now we are experiencing it. And
Speaker 1: now we're about to experience more. Amen, you know, a
Speaker 1: young twenty twenty two, we have this great opportunity to
Speaker 1: be unleashed and to live out what the early church
Speaker 1: had lived for. Amen. Maybe some of us parents Sabini
Speaker 1: and Jonah Hanina, we were expecting something different, right for
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, you unleash. I'm excited. Maybe some of
Speaker 1: you you know already going were New Lord's at in December,
Speaker 1: Palank and you're already excited for January. Then the first
Speaker 1: day in January. In the first days of January belong Sumambugan,
Speaker 1: Oh my Krombi virus, right, belong forty thousand people every
Speaker 1: day in it called me Smunavid God, how miss Muna
Speaker 1: go Ovid. We were expecting to be unleashed all Michrombi
Speaker 1: and and Lisha atten. We were expecting something different. But
Speaker 1: you know what God was reminding us. We're expecting something different,
Speaker 1: but God is saying, but nothing has changed while I'm
Speaker 1: in a bag. There's nothing different. There's still a whole
Speaker 1: lot of people out there suffering. There's still a whole
Speaker 1: lot of people out there who needs healing, who needs Jesus,
Speaker 1: who needs to know that they would suffer if you
Speaker 1: don't believe in Jesus. How how can we expect for
Speaker 1: things to change if nothing really has changed? You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. God is reminding us gain in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two. The job is not done yet, Indi and
Speaker 1: labat a man. There's so much work to be done.
Speaker 1: There's so many people now now we need to seek
Speaker 1: and to save. In the midst of all of this,
Speaker 1: the midst of all of this chaos and an aii.
Speaker 1: Right now, God is showing us an opportunity to shine
Speaker 1: a bright light in this world. Amen. You know God
Speaker 1: is setting the table for something amazing to happen in
Speaker 1: this world. Cinerito, you're excited to see America's happen, Cinta,
Speaker 1: You're excited to see great things happen. Amen. And here's
Speaker 1: the good news. He's going to do it through you
Speaker 1: and through me. Amen. He's going to truth and he's
Speaker 1: going to do it through the Church. Now Can you
Speaker 1: imagine what will happen if we could just come together
Speaker 1: and unleash the full force of the Church. You know
Speaker 1: when we say that we will be, we will be unleashed.
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be us just us. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: the church as well. Amen. And that's what we will
Speaker 1: be talking about. If you're writing down notes, the title
Speaker 1: of our message is unleashing the full force. That's what
Speaker 1: we want, Amen, dicolu, that's what that's what you also
Speaker 1: want if you want that to plea stype in the
Speaker 1: comments sections and be more Amen. Amen. We all want that.
Speaker 1: We all want something to change. Ale. We are hoping
Speaker 1: again the medrium of Babago, par parent Thailand, Vignon coming
Speaker 1: into January, know, hoping a merrormant Babago. But you know what,
Speaker 1: it's going to be the same thing. Whoever you choose
Speaker 1: to vote, whoever becomes our president, vice president, senator's congressman,
Speaker 1: leaders in our governments, the same thing will happen. Why
Speaker 1: because the people is not changing. Because we all know
Speaker 1: what this country, this world needs, Amen. It needs God,
Speaker 1: it needs Jesus Christ. It needs to say that Jesus
Speaker 1: is Lord. It needs to say not my will, but
Speaker 1: yours be done. We all want, you know, to become
Speaker 1: a difference maker. Amen, we want to do something. Similarly,
Speaker 1: you want to do something right, you want to do
Speaker 1: something or maybe saying something needs to be done on
Speaker 1: problem you don't know what didn't go in? They are
Speaker 1: they just they are just relegated doing a Facebook on
Speaker 1: Lamanla post and post about the government, about about the
Speaker 1: people in the government. Right again in Tamaba, it's a
Speaker 1: bimo but not me type in the comments a behemo
Speaker 1: but not us in man. Because we know that we
Speaker 1: are more than space takers and time wasters. We are
Speaker 1: difference makers. That's who you are. You are here to
Speaker 1: make a difference. You are the sole and light of
Speaker 1: this world. We just need to be unleash. And when
Speaker 1: we say we, that means you and me, that means
Speaker 1: every one of us. Don't say in episode we support you,
Speaker 1: bahla jan. You know we're just here at the back.
Speaker 1: We are worshiping, we are praying for you know, every
Speaker 1: every one of us, each and every one of us
Speaker 1: are here to make a difference in screen right now,
Speaker 1: it's everyone, it's you and me, Amen. That's why in
Speaker 1: this church, this is our goal, this is what we
Speaker 1: believe in. Our goal is to make every believer, I
Speaker 1: hope it's there a leader of leaders, to make every
Speaker 1: believer a leader of leaders. That's who we are and
Speaker 1: that's what we believe in. That's our goal. Amen, if
Speaker 1: you're taking down notes, if you're going to take note
Speaker 1: of something or remember something after this this that we
Speaker 1: need to become a leader. Amen, it's every one of us.
Speaker 1: It's each and every one of us. You know, in
Speaker 1: the Bible or in in theology, we have this something
Speaker 1: that is called the priesthood of all believers. Maybe you're say,
Speaker 1: if it's some guy and you making believers to make
Speaker 1: every believer a leader of leaders, that that's not even
Speaker 1: biblically as it is. You know, even miss Mussi uh
Speaker 1: Martin Luther, you know, the the first Protestant chap moved
Speaker 1: Christians from from the old ways to what we know now.
Speaker 1: You know, he believes that there is such thing as
Speaker 1: priesthood of all believers. La Niloyd he was. He called
Speaker 1: us to become one a royal priesthood. What does that mean?
Speaker 1: Royal priest? Indedn't put title that we were? He didn't.
Speaker 1: We are royal priest because obligation. Amen, that we are
Speaker 1: all priest. He didn't see pastor. Amen, we are all priest,
Speaker 1: and we have an obligation to do, and that is
Speaker 1: what to preach the gospel, to share the gospel to everyone. Amen.
Speaker 1: It's everybody's goal, it's everybody's purpose, and we are all
Speaker 1: part of the mission that God has given us. The
Speaker 1: problem is that it won't work. It can't work most
Speaker 1: of us or majority of the church. Things that BDC
Speaker 1: exists for their needs. Maybe you're here and you're thinking
Speaker 1: now anapo and once that I'm you know, I'm done
Speaker 1: with this, and then I'm going to move on. Now
Speaker 1: it's time for me to move on to a greater
Speaker 1: third thing. But now, a church is not something that
Speaker 1: you finish with. It's not a horse. It's a family
Speaker 1: to belong to. It's a family that has a purpose
Speaker 1: and until you have not reached that purpose in that
Speaker 1: we belong together. Documents such as a bimo we belong together,
Speaker 1: a church at home that it was a bore, we
Speaker 1: believe to be bl along together. See you know what
Speaker 1: being unleashed means, It's being engaged. Let me say it again,
Speaker 1: being unleashed means being engaged. If you want to be
Speaker 1: unleashed for twenty twenty two, you need to say this
Speaker 1: to yourself that I'm not just going to watch and
Speaker 1: spectate Indela a life stream every Sunday. Amen, but I'm
Speaker 1: actually going to do something. I'm going to be engaged.
Speaker 1: What does that mean? Being engaged? Being engaged means being
Speaker 1: able or you wanting to join the Bible, reading your
Speaker 1: devotion anthen Being engaged means I will be joining and
Speaker 1: being engaged. Some squad meetings you will attend and once
Speaker 1: you are there you will start sharing as well. Amen,
Speaker 1: indeau picture Amen, now no and take away more you
Speaker 1: would share a man. That's what being engaged means. That's
Speaker 1: what being unleashed means. Being unleashed means that you will
Speaker 1: be joining and being involved in ministries. We have so
Speaker 1: many ministries here at church. Ask your squad leader, can
Speaker 1: you ministry that you can be involved with? Indeed, poe
Speaker 1: indeed on po techt indeed on pup praising worship. Maybe
Speaker 1: you don't know, you don't know, you don't know how
Speaker 1: it's saying you do not have to play the guitar
Speaker 1: and you say no, I'm not made to to serve. No,
Speaker 1: you can serve in every way that you can, and
Speaker 1: whatever gifts that you have, God can use that. And
Speaker 1: I believe that God has given you a gift for
Speaker 1: that reason. In the part of you mam Manka in
Speaker 1: YouTube was a Facebook. God has given you gifts so
Speaker 1: that you can serve Him, that you can serve the
Speaker 1: people that God's plays in your life. That's what being
Speaker 1: unleashed means again, it's being engaged. Being being unleashed. It
Speaker 1: means doing the assignment that God has for us. Amen,
Speaker 1: be a difference maker by sharing the Gospel the whole
Speaker 1: in this broken and sick world. We need to have
Speaker 1: this mentality that Jesus' mentality. Remember he says that it
Speaker 1: is more blessed to give than to receive. Now, you're
Speaker 1: not here just to receive. You're not just here to
Speaker 1: be to be blessed. Maybe you saw that that name
Speaker 1: bless the City Church, and you are attracted to it
Speaker 1: because you want to be blessed Zimbaimba and said Ben
Speaker 1: straight times, No, that's not who we are. We are
Speaker 1: blessed the city because we are here to bless the city,
Speaker 1: not to get blessing from the city. Not to get
Speaker 1: blessing from God, Amen, but to become blessed so that
Speaker 1: we can be a blessing. You know, we have this
Speaker 1: tagline here at church, blessed to bless They're we had
Speaker 1: that series. That's a long series. Bless to bless That's
Speaker 1: who we are. God is blessing you with your job,
Speaker 1: with your work, with promotions, with whatever good things that
Speaker 1: is happening in your life. Goddess bless you so that
Speaker 1: you can be a blessing. And most importantly, God has
Speaker 1: blessed you with salvation. See that you can share that
Speaker 1: to other people as well that needs salvation. Amen. You know,
Speaker 1: I believe that this word unleash. It's not just for
Speaker 1: a few people here at church. It's not just for
Speaker 1: our church. I believe that it's for each and every
Speaker 1: one of us. Amen. We all have to remove whatever
Speaker 1: it is that's preventing us from being who God created
Speaker 1: us to be. I like that, Make me what I'm
Speaker 1: meant to be. You know that's I agree. That's a prayer. Lord,
Speaker 1: make me who I always meant to be, who you
Speaker 1: created me to be. Your problem is that we have
Speaker 1: this leash. Now we can't be who we are meant
Speaker 1: to be because something is stopping us, something is pulling
Speaker 1: us back. And for most of us, the leashes hold
Speaker 1: us back is the feeling of inadequacy, the feeling now
Speaker 1: I'm not worthy, the feeling of I'm unqualified. Man type
Speaker 1: in the comments section right now has to be more uncoqualified.
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes if you feel that way, you are
Speaker 1: not alone. You know, we feel sometimes you all feel
Speaker 1: that we are unqualified. You know, we see these big
Speaker 1: problems in our in our world, in our nation, in
Speaker 1: our community, or maybe in your families. You see those
Speaker 1: big problems, you know, and you are thinking that something
Speaker 1: has to be done. I mean, a mistakes smoke, and
Speaker 1: we end up with the whole clusion that, yes, something
Speaker 1: has to be done, but it's not going to be me.
Speaker 1: Why because of all the mistakes that I've made, because
Speaker 1: I'm unqualified, Something else, somebody else will make that difference.
Speaker 1: And we've been praying, you know, maybe you've been praying
Speaker 1: for that Lord become Magalina president, the Lord become dang
Speaker 1: Mangan leaders, some community, amens a family. Amen. Do you
Speaker 1: know what God is saying? Amen? God made you see
Speaker 1: all of those things because he wants you to change it, Amen,
Speaker 1: because he wants you to become the difference maker. Amen.
Speaker 1: Come on, give God the best love wherever you are. Amen.
Speaker 1: Magin is unprecedented to make a difference. Even your president,
Speaker 1: he can't make any difference. If you mana tao underneath
Speaker 1: him will not follow. You know, I believe that's the
Speaker 1: problem in our nation right now, right when I'm putting mare,
Speaker 1: and we won't see anything change, Amen, because it's not
Speaker 1: him or her whoever the next president should be or
Speaker 1: would be, But it's gonna be us who would change
Speaker 1: our nation, who will make a difference. Alang, we had
Speaker 1: this leash. That lease is called unqualified. We don't feel
Speaker 1: that we are qualified for so many reasons. Maybe for you,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe you're thinking, or you're saying, that's a
Speaker 1: familia pastor I didn't came from the right family. My
Speaker 1: family is dysfunctional, my family is broken, my family is
Speaker 1: not really the traditional churchgoerimbo to galand that's what my
Speaker 1: family is. And maybe God can't use me because of that,
Speaker 1: I'm unqualified. Or maybe you're saying that you did not
Speaker 1: have the right education. You know, right now, that's what
Speaker 1: the people are saying that education as right and dish
Speaker 1: are qualified to lead us. Maybe maybe for that position,
Speaker 1: but God is not calling us to be that. God
Speaker 1: is calling us to be something else, a man. Maybe
Speaker 1: you're saying that I didn't have the right education in
Speaker 1: the whole Maintendo Bible school, the column pastor God, but
Speaker 1: in Columbus as a good call I'm not qualified about.
Speaker 1: Maybe you're saying that right ressure, you buy statistical height,
Speaker 1: Coulan wake cool, and then there's nothing else. Maybe you're saying,
Speaker 1: go anything significant for God to call me for this
Speaker 1: great mission. I have not done enough. You feel that
Speaker 1: you are unqualified. Maybe that's you. You are saying that
Speaker 1: right now. But you know what, here's the good news.
Speaker 1: And I want you to remember this. God loves to
Speaker 1: unleash the unqualified. Amen. I hope that they can see
Speaker 1: that again. God loves to unleash the unqualified. Let's go back.
Speaker 1: One of the lines that I loved there was how
Speaker 1: you love to use the broken? Wow, God loves to
Speaker 1: use the unqualified. God loves to use the broken people.
Speaker 1: God loves to use those who are weak, imn. He
Speaker 1: loves to demonstrate his power in our weaknesses. He loves
Speaker 1: to take the things that we think disqualifies us and
Speaker 1: use that same thing to accomplish His purpose in our lives.
Speaker 1: That's how great our God is. Iman. And the one
Speaker 1: thing that everyone in the Bible that was used by
Speaker 1: God in a very extraordinary way, they have this one
Speaker 1: thing in common. Do you know what that one thing
Speaker 1: in common? They have the same feeling of being unqualified.
Speaker 1: You can read that from from Genesis and gang Revelation.
Speaker 1: Nobody will say, now, Lord, use me, I'm so qualified
Speaker 1: for this. That's it. Excuse Hamaba. That's in Sabin, the Lord,
Speaker 1: I can't Mulakai, Abrahm, Gankai, Moses, Aganghai Joan, and Ghangkai
Speaker 1: Ivan k David. The only one who is qualified was
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. But the world thinks that he is unqualified
Speaker 1: to the why that he was crucified forgetting what I'm
Speaker 1: saying right now. All throughout the Bible and all throughout
Speaker 1: the generations. You know, since the biblical times, God has
Speaker 1: been using unqualified people for his great purpose. Amen. They
Speaker 1: all feel unqualified and ordinary. You feel that you were ordinary.
Speaker 1: You know, the greatest example of that is the disciples.
Speaker 1: Remember the disciples we talked about Peter and John last week,
Speaker 1: and we will try to revisit that, and not only that,
Speaker 1: we will go further from that story. If you're going
Speaker 1: to look at the most unqualified person in the Bible,
Speaker 1: it's Peter and John. Really past Peter John. Remember, see Peter,
Speaker 1: he is the rock. He should be qualified. But you
Speaker 1: know in this standard, in this world standard, he wasn't.
Speaker 1: There weren't I don't see Peter Charley John. They did
Speaker 1: not apply to become leaders of the church. It wasn't
Speaker 1: a position to apply for in the first place. It
Speaker 1: was a calling a man kuntai Jesus is saying to Jesus,
Speaker 1: you want to be your disciples. Here's our resume, here's
Speaker 1: what we can do for you. And yea, Jesus came
Speaker 1: to where they were and called them out, Come follow me,
Speaker 1: and I will make you fishers of men. That's why
Speaker 1: when when when people saw Jesus and his disciples, is
Speaker 1: this the Messiah? Is this they're his followers? How could
Speaker 1: this be the next king? How could this be the
Speaker 1: savior of this world? Members of Pedro he has a
Speaker 1: big mouth. Every time he opens his mouth, he gets
Speaker 1: in trouble by every time he opens his mother and
Speaker 1: Jesus he rebukes him Talba, always getting in trouble because
Speaker 1: of his big mouth. And you know what happened to him.
Speaker 1: He became the primary spoke person of the church. God
Speaker 1: used that same mouth, the same mother he always gets
Speaker 1: in trouble with, and he used it for God's glory,
Speaker 1: for God's kingdom. And there was nothing that he has
Speaker 1: done to qualify for it. If you would see his restume,
Speaker 1: he isda talva. How about John? All right? Just saying, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's pedro paris, John passor he is the the beloved
Speaker 1: kamal mahal. Is it true? He is? He really John,
Speaker 1: the belaved before Jesus Christ. John he is a short
Speaker 1: temper kasamani pedro pham not in common with it, but
Speaker 1: the one thing that they have in common. They have
Speaker 1: a short temper babilismani and ulo kaana. And the Bible
Speaker 1: in the Gospel John he was also called the son
Speaker 1: of Thunder. Why remember this one story when when Jesus
Speaker 1: and his disciples were walking down the road and they
Speaker 1: came upon this group of people they were they were
Speaker 1: making fun of Jesus and his disciples Bagaris, John and
Speaker 1: Jesus Lord, let's pray now there would be uh fire
Speaker 1: coming from heaven. Grab singing Dito the one, and you
Speaker 1: are praying the Lord, the Lord Covidzilla. He has a
Speaker 1: short temper, and he was convinced that that's what God wanted.
Speaker 1: Sometimes that's how we think that We see the people
Speaker 1: who are making fun of Jesus, making fun of God,
Speaker 1: and we want them Lord m madusas in perno, come on,
Speaker 1: we want to preach a fire in in brimstone messages.
Speaker 1: Why to condemn those people into say come on? He
Speaker 1: was masking his own hate with God's purpose. That's what
Speaker 1: God wants. Gou wants people to die in hell. Gou
Speaker 1: wants people to suffer in hell. No, you are missing
Speaker 1: the point if you think that way. But you know
Speaker 1: what happened to John. God transformed him and unleashed him
Speaker 1: from being some person of hate, the son of Thunder.
Speaker 1: What happened He began to write. He wrote a book
Speaker 1: in the Bible that intro use us to a loving God,
Speaker 1: to a God who loves us. Amen, to God, God
Speaker 1: who loves each and every one of us. He says
Speaker 1: in First John that God is love. Amen. He was
Speaker 1: unleashed and it wasn't just them who felt that they
Speaker 1: were unqualified. It wasn't just John, and it was Peter,
Speaker 1: and so was the world, and so does other people.
Speaker 1: It is mta. Yeah, this guy, this guy's they're not qualified,
Speaker 1: Sabi asks chapter four, verse thirteen. And this is the
Speaker 1: verse that we will be looking at. Sabian story. Was
Speaker 1: Peter and John standing before a ruling council of religious
Speaker 1: leaders because they have done something and they brought them
Speaker 1: doing some court tok on them, John and Peter for
Speaker 1: what they have done. Let's go back, let's travelous acts
Speaker 1: chapter four or verse thirteen. Sabon they realized that they
Speaker 1: were unschooled and ordinary man. Peter and John was speaking
Speaker 1: their cases, saying that we have done nothing wrong. All
Speaker 1: that we do was to help these people, this person.
Speaker 1: And then while they were speaking to man to manga
Speaker 1: religious people and talk, they began to realize Atoms Pedro, John,
Speaker 1: they were unschooled, unschooled the gal they were ordinary man,
Speaker 1: nothing nothing extraordinary Sandila. People knew that Jasi Peter, that
Speaker 1: they weren't taught of what to say and how to
Speaker 1: say them. Paragaja, maybe you're saying it doesn't know much
Speaker 1: you know alamvlugs and am books nabase. He don't see John, Chase, Peter.
Speaker 1: They all realized now they don't know what to say.
Speaker 1: All me on, save me the inside lupia. Maybe in
Speaker 1: a bend the mot or sabon right them right, And
Speaker 1: then you see if you were in a region, and
Speaker 1: that's what John and Peter was. They had the wrong grammar,
Speaker 1: probably wrong gramming sila india alam or the words why
Speaker 1: because they weren't taught right. They were just fisher men.
Speaker 1: They weren't made or they weren't taught to stand in
Speaker 1: front of many people and speak Tao. They're unschooled and
Speaker 1: they were ordinary. You know the word ordinary in Greek, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it means idiotes. What does that mean? Idiotes? I think
Speaker 1: we all know that, right, idiots. When they were listening
Speaker 1: to John and to Peter, they were saying that these
Speaker 1: guys are unschooled and they're idiots. Idiot participleuch on a
Speaker 1: harsh namaba. That's what they think about Peter and day John.
Speaker 1: People saw Peter and John as uneducated idiots and they
Speaker 1: were unqualified. They weren't qualified to do what they are doing.
Speaker 1: But they're still doing it. It's the best thing. They
Speaker 1: feel that they aren't qualified. But people think that they
Speaker 1: are unqualified. They still did what you're supposed to be doing.
Speaker 1: You know, uneven a baggage that you think that made
Speaker 1: you unqualified. You ma un words that makes you think
Speaker 1: that you aren't qualified. You know, I have a few
Speaker 1: things that came to my mind when I asked this
Speaker 1: question to myself. You know, maybe you are saying that
Speaker 1: I'm untalented. Maybe some movie you're saying that I'm unqualified
Speaker 1: pastor because talented, or maybe you're saying I'm uninspiring. There's
Speaker 1: nothing that I can say that can inspire people. Maybe
Speaker 1: you're saying that I'm an experienced or maybe you're saying
Speaker 1: that you know bani, so I don't have that experience.
Speaker 1: Maybe you're saying you're under resource. I remember seeing the
Speaker 1: posta saying the Maha people with influence. You're saying the
Speaker 1: heir of talent, no, so God can't use me. Or
Speaker 1: maybe saying you're unprepared, you aren't prepared for this, or
Speaker 1: maybe you're uncertain yeah sure, or may be saying you
Speaker 1: are unattractive knowing the THEMAGENSA Y m H, don't squad
Speaker 1: or maybe saying that nothing is attractive Sumi right, or
Speaker 1: maybe saying you're uncompelling or maybe unemployed, or maybe you're
Speaker 1: saying you're unessential, but I'm logo, maybe saying you're unequipped, unexciting,
Speaker 1: or maybe unworthy. No, that's the big thing, unworthy, seeing
Speaker 1: the means, and you feel that you are unworthy. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you honestly, A lot of times, that's how
Speaker 1: I feel. Every Saturday, I'm struggling. I'm wrestling with myself
Speaker 1: the Lord Steak speak, you know, not not because I
Speaker 1: don't want to, but because I feel that I'm unworthy,
Speaker 1: but because I feel that I'm unqualified, I don't know
Speaker 1: what to say. I don't even know. Human have to
Speaker 1: being go. It's really important for other people. But the
Speaker 1: truth is, sometimes you know, as leaders, as pisors, I
Speaker 1: want to say to you know, yeah, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: you are qualified, No, you are you are certain, you
Speaker 1: are attractive, you are experienced.
Speaker 2: You are worthy. You know sometimes you want to believe that.
Speaker 2: But the truth is, this is the truth, this is
Speaker 2: who we are now.
Speaker 1: But yes, we are an experience, we are under resource,
Speaker 1: we are uninspiring. That's the truth. It's true to Peter.
Speaker 1: It's true to John and it's true for us us
Speaker 1: as well. We are really unqualified. But you know what,
Speaker 1: it's not the antonyms of all these things. It's not
Speaker 1: the white words that makes us qualify. Amen. We don't
Speaker 1: earn our qualifications. There's nothing that we can do to
Speaker 1: earn or deserve to be qualified. The good news is
Speaker 1: that it is Jesus who qualifies us. It's what he
Speaker 1: has done for us. It's who he is. It's not
Speaker 1: who we are and what we have done, it's who
Speaker 1: Jesus is. Amen. Come on, you know, the Book of
Speaker 1: Acts tells us the story of how God takes this ordinary,
Speaker 1: unschooled and unqualified people and unleash them for God's purpose
Speaker 1: and turn the world upside down. Amen. And that's what
Speaker 1: we will be talking about, not just for this week,
Speaker 1: for the coming weeks, but tomorrow maybe you will be
Speaker 1: having our Unleashed BTC. It's on or pasta eight pm.
Speaker 1: We'll see you here live streaming on Facebook. You know,
Speaker 1: if you've been fasting, this will be our last night
Speaker 1: tomorrow and we will break our fast dinner time. We
Speaker 1: all be unleashed. Saba sabai bas and I see you there,
Speaker 1: and I hope that you know you are excited as well.
Speaker 1: We'll be talking about the Book of Acts and how
Speaker 1: God unleash this ordinary, unschooled and unqualified people and turn
Speaker 1: the world upside down. How did that happen? How does
Speaker 1: the full force of the church unleash be unleashed? How
Speaker 1: did it happen? Let's look at that quickly, Sabi asks
Speaker 1: up to three, verse two and four. Let's read that.
Speaker 1: Remember this story. We talked about this yes last week. Now.
Speaker 1: A man who was named from from birth was being
Speaker 1: carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was
Speaker 1: put every day to beg From those going into the
Speaker 1: temple courts, those who would pray every day, those who
Speaker 1: would worship God, they would always see that person because
Speaker 1: every day, No, don't push up, because every day he
Speaker 1: was carried there by someone to beg and verse four Sabli.
Speaker 1: When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he
Speaker 1: asked them for money. So, Sigura, just like everybody else
Speaker 1: he was asking money for but this time it's different
Speaker 1: that Peter John Saban Verse four. Peter looked straight at him.
Speaker 1: Then Peter said, look at us, you know, looking at
Speaker 1: something who is begging is not really something that we
Speaker 1: tend to do. Tama Ba Sin experienced me Mamaly mosta
Speaker 1: better Liland thing in more Sin experience as al Sade
Speaker 1: the mammalia. And sometimes it's uncomfortable seeing other people suffer
Speaker 1: while you amava. So when we see other people begging suffering,
Speaker 1: we don't want to look. We tend to look away.
Speaker 1: That's our tendencies jar Rika amen, and we avoid. But
Speaker 1: you know what happened to Peter. He intentionally stared, and
Speaker 1: not just you know, not the alanding, but according to
Speaker 1: the Bible, he stared at that person. When we say stare,
Speaker 1: it's like looking straight into somebody's soul. And Peter and
Speaker 1: John saw that this guy needs more than what he
Speaker 1: was asking. He saw this beggar for who he is,
Speaker 1: just like how God sees us. It wasn't something that
Speaker 1: the beggar usually experienced. That everybody looks awake and the
Speaker 1: Mamaly Mussi right, people walk by him every day, and
Speaker 1: for that person Peter and John to be staring at him,
Speaker 1: it is something different, you know, saying you know Cartain,
Speaker 1: you face to face and the part of the moves
Speaker 1: of case mahamatano a par al. You know, that's what
Speaker 1: this beggar experience because out of this, out of all
Speaker 1: the people in the world, Peter and John, maybe the
Speaker 1: same people that passed by him at that moment, looked
Speaker 1: at him straight and saw what he needed, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe to see Peter Chazy John and even see Jesus. Remember,
Speaker 1: this beggar is at the temple. See Jesus. You always
Speaker 1: go to the temple and pray. I don't know how
Speaker 1: many times that Jesus, Peter and John has walk by
Speaker 1: the same person. It wasn't the first time that Peter
Speaker 1: and John saw him. But you know what, this time
Speaker 1: it's different because this time is the right time. How
Speaker 1: many times or how many years the man has a buheim,
Speaker 1: you know, and you always had that mentality of being unqualified,
Speaker 1: But you know what, this year, this is a different year.
Speaker 1: This is a different time. Twenty twenty two is the
Speaker 1: right time for us to look at the things that
Speaker 1: makes us uncomfortable, to look at the things that needs
Speaker 1: to be looked at, to look at the things that
Speaker 1: you've been trying to brush off all your life. Now, no,
Speaker 1: somebody will help him. Somebody can take care of him,
Speaker 1: not me. I'm unqualified. But you know, it's time to
Speaker 1: see that there are people who needs saving, that there
Speaker 1: are people who needs healing, that there are people who
Speaker 1: needs help, who needs Jesus Christ. You know, it's time
Speaker 1: for us to be unleashed. It's time for us to stop,
Speaker 1: you know, not giving a care to other people besides ourselves.
Speaker 1: It's time that we look past our own needs, our
Speaker 1: own preferences, and what we think is necessary, and start
Speaker 1: to see those people who are lost, who are broken,
Speaker 1: who are in need of Jesus Christ. It's time that
Speaker 1: we unleash ourselves. Because I want you to write this down,
Speaker 1: these three things of how how the power, the full
Speaker 1: force of the church was unleashed. Number one is this
Speaker 1: unleashing happens when ordinary people show extraordinary compassion, Just like
Speaker 1: see Peter and said John, by just looking at that
Speaker 1: persona it wasn't just that beggar who was touched, but
Speaker 1: it was also John and Peter. It spoke to them,
Speaker 1: they were they were all beggar. Look at us, look
Speaker 1: at us, you know, say Acts chapter three, verse six.
Speaker 1: It's a story of Babasanata. And then Peter said, silver
Speaker 1: and gold, I do not have, but what I do have,
Speaker 1: I give you the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
Speaker 1: This is what I'm talking about. Blessed to bless and Pedro.
Speaker 1: I don't have much. I don't have what you think
Speaker 1: you want, but I have what you need because that's
Speaker 1: what I have. I have Jesus Christ. You know this.
Speaker 1: This beggar started to walk because there is power in
Speaker 1: the name of Jesus Christ, and Sabini Pedro, in the
Speaker 1: name of Jesus walk and that's what he did. He
Speaker 1: started to walk, bego why, of course, because of the
Speaker 1: power of Jesus Christ. But all started with the compassion
Speaker 1: that Peter and John had and he began to start
Speaker 1: to walk. You know if you have seen the same beggar,
Speaker 1: the same person, sitting there the same spot for years
Speaker 1: and years and years. Then all of a sudden, the
Speaker 1: belushion to Mayota, what did you take notice? Take it
Speaker 1: on Paran now, huh, you don't have to be.
Speaker 3: And everybody was like, take a land, the Bacos, the Bacons, James,
Speaker 3: now Lumpo.
Speaker 1: You know what. People began to take notice. They begin
Speaker 1: begin to take interest, not just because of this guy
Speaker 1: walking pars that here, this person that showed compassion out
Speaker 1: of all the people in the world. They begin to
Speaker 1: take interest into what Peter and John has to say.
Speaker 1: Before they were like fishermen and qualified. And because something
Speaker 1: happened because they showed Compassiontau, what do you say? I mean,
Speaker 1: he's their act of compassion gives them credibility and creates opportunity.
Speaker 1: Are you getting this? You know, our act of compassion
Speaker 1: gives credibility not to us, but to the gospel that
Speaker 1: we are preaching, to the gospel that we are believing.
Speaker 1: And it creates an opportunity to connect to people, to
Speaker 1: connect the people to Jesus Christ. That's what we do
Speaker 1: here at church. We have blessed serving show kindness. We
Speaker 1: call that compassion. That's how we show it. This is
Speaker 1: who we will be for twenty twenty two. Everything that
Speaker 1: we will be doing, it's about helping other people. It's
Speaker 1: about blessing other people. It's about serving other people. It's
Speaker 1: about showing kindness and compassion to other people. That's what
Speaker 1: it means for us to become unleash. Amen. Maybe you
Speaker 1: know this already casual and he didn't want to go out.
Speaker 1: Why there's so many reasons why. Maybe one of them
Speaker 1: is you thinking I'm unqualified? Who am iy to bless
Speaker 1: other people? I miss? I feel that I'm not blessed. Amen.
Speaker 1: This is who we should be. We will love God
Speaker 1: and love people. That's our purpose. Remember, we keep on
Speaker 1: saying that over and over in because it's who we are.
Speaker 1: We love God, and as we love God, we need
Speaker 1: to love the people that loves or that God loves
Speaker 1: as well. And as we love those people that He loves,
Speaker 1: people begin to show God, God, I love you so much.
Speaker 1: It's not the words that were saying, the words that
Speaker 1: we say, it's the act of compassion that we show
Speaker 1: to other people. I remember that there is this showing
Speaker 1: the food networks, not Food Network, let me food networking,
Speaker 1: cooking show, the YouTube hm, somebody just eating. But this
Speaker 1: is different. You don't Food Network. It's people cooking food.
Speaker 1: I can't here because you want to eat, But I
Speaker 1: would suggest that you watch Food Network instead because it
Speaker 1: teaches you not to eat, but how to cook. Melonisms
Speaker 1: show it's called chopped. You couldn't familiar show you chopped
Speaker 1: you show? They would give this chef you ma a
Speaker 1: chef a chef. They would give them an extraordinary ingredients
Speaker 1: to make dishes. Do something that USA for example, sinnegang
Speaker 1: sinne gang nah watermelon, I think, on that's weird, when
Speaker 1: about strawberry? What are you gonna go on? You know
Speaker 1: doing it's a show on what a god? Meron is
Speaker 1: an Adobo? All right, we will give you. I'm meeting
Speaker 1: baba ya. Yeah, and that's a challenge. But give me
Speaker 1: a guy on. You're chopped. That's why it's called chapped. Okay.
Speaker 1: It's a cooking show. Meron one one one episode. The
Speaker 1: Meroon is an contestant and his name is Lance. He
Speaker 1: is a Christian being Christian because he always talks about it.
Speaker 1: Well at the beginning, Adu is always saying that I
Speaker 1: am a Christian. I'm a Christian. He's so talking about
Speaker 1: his faith. I'm gonna say Christian. But then yeah, Parn,
Speaker 1: I'm wearding no money, Allen. The Sometimes I say Christian,
Speaker 1: they say I'm a Christian. I'm a Christian. Paris Mission,
Speaker 1: Papa Canna and the contestant and not just him, okay,
Speaker 1: and there are other contests. One contestant there very notable
Speaker 1: is that Lola Nah. She is in Paris, China as
Speaker 1: a U Sasa and she joined it on contestant so
Speaker 1: that she can win the prize money to to use
Speaker 1: that same money para Paris and take care of Lola.
Speaker 1: And you know, for me, and I was, I was
Speaker 1: looting for her, you know, forget about Cilan's Christian has
Speaker 1: shave because I want her to be reunited with her grandmother.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately not allu Ya by bye Wealo Si Lance. He
Speaker 1: was blessed. And but that was the show. You know,
Speaker 1: everybody is celebrating. You want, you want le me games
Speaker 1: the way Matalan Sumera, but but they play emotions movies
Speaker 1: and the camera was following her and then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden clans and this wait wait wait wait star,
Speaker 1: then everybody was quiet or what's happening? Sabin the lands?
Speaker 1: You know, I didn't mean to win this contest, but
Speaker 1: God blessed me with this, with this blessing. And who
Speaker 1: wants you to have the price money so that you
Speaker 1: can go and visit your grandma? You know, from that,
Speaker 1: from that moment, I'll go that's Lance. He's a Christian
Speaker 1: and I was so proud of him here before by
Speaker 1: he broadcast a mundu. But the moment that he showed compassion.
Speaker 1: It changed how I saw him. You know, that's how
Speaker 1: the world sees us as well. We all have this
Speaker 1: opportunity now to just say that we are Christians, to
Speaker 1: show them with our clothes, with the post that we pose,
Speaker 1: but with the compassion that we act. Amen. More than
Speaker 1: the words he spoke to Zelans, he backed it up
Speaker 1: with this act of compassion. And we have this opportunity
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty two after opportunity after opportunity to show
Speaker 1: compassion to people and to say and to make them
Speaker 1: see who we really are, who our God is, who
Speaker 1: Jesus is. And those who think that they know about Jesus,
Speaker 1: that they know about the Church, they would see the
Speaker 1: gospel in a hole new lights. You know the reason
Speaker 1: why there's a lot of eighties, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: people who doesn't believe in Jesus Christ. It's because of
Speaker 1: people who profess that they are following Jesus Christ, but
Speaker 1: they're not living the life that they are meant to live.
Speaker 1: They're turning their eye away from the people that needs help. Amen.
Speaker 1: And you know how we can win people back to
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ by showing compassion. Amen. You know it wasn't
Speaker 1: Peter and John's qualification that unleash the Gospel. It wasn't
Speaker 1: Peter's qualification that made him speak out and three thousands
Speaker 1: and five thousand people were saved. It wasn't because of
Speaker 1: his pedigree, It wasn't his last name. It wasn't his
Speaker 1: education that qualit him and did miraculous things about It
Speaker 1: was his small act of compassion. Amen. We are seeing
Speaker 1: all the problems in the world, in our country, in
Speaker 1: our community, and our family, and we think that we
Speaker 1: need to make a difference. That making a difference, we
Speaker 1: need power in making difference, we need the right position
Speaker 1: that in making a difference, we need to have the knowledge.
Speaker 1: You know all those three things. That's the way of
Speaker 1: the world. The world thinks that in order for you
Speaker 1: to change the world, you need to have power. You
Speaker 1: need to have positions. You need to have knowledge. You
Speaker 1: know all those three things. What it gives us, It
Speaker 1: gives us pride, it gives us indifference. Now, yeah, I
Speaker 1: know more than you. You are putting up a wall
Speaker 1: in front of view. I'm a smuggling osioh, the most powerful.
Speaker 1: That's the way of the world. That's not how Jesus operated.
Speaker 1: That's not how the kingdom operated. That's not the way
Speaker 1: of the kingdom. The way of the Kingdom and how
Speaker 1: Jesus operated is with humility and compassion means I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm the son of God. I'm not going to
Speaker 1: come down there and save the people. I'm just going
Speaker 1: to click my fingers to just let Sitanos no what
Speaker 1: he do. He came down to earth to be with us,
Speaker 1: to have relationship with us, to hurt with us, to
Speaker 1: feel what we are feeling as well. That's compassion. Amen.
Speaker 1: The first step in unleashing the full force of the
Speaker 1: church is unleashing compassion. Can you imagine? Can you imagine
Speaker 1: what we can do as a church, what BTC can
Speaker 1: do if he will just come together and be united
Speaker 1: as a church, the full first of the church, the
Speaker 1: full force of the Church, will be unleashed with radical
Speaker 1: acts of compassion that will create opportunities and give credibility
Speaker 1: to the gospel, to what we are preaching, to what
Speaker 1: you are posting, to what you are saying. It starts
Speaker 1: with the acts of compassion and you being unleashed here
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two, it's you, Bell, it's you doing
Speaker 1: compassionate things to the world around us. Amen. So as
Speaker 1: Peter and John followed their act of compassion, it did
Speaker 1: not stop there, Sable and go I have none in
Speaker 1: the name of Jesus Christ walk Den. What happened after
Speaker 1: that the following verses moments after in verse four and
Speaker 1: chapter four and acts. Let's look at that, Sabon. But
Speaker 1: many who heard the message believe. But many who heard
Speaker 1: Peter and John's message because they started to believe, because
Speaker 1: they started to open up their ears. Why, because of
Speaker 1: the act of compassion, they started to take notice of
Speaker 1: what are you saying? What are these guys saying the
Speaker 1: same guys that here this this broken man, and what happens?
Speaker 1: They started to believe. So the number of men who
Speaker 1: believed grew to about five thousand. It wasn't five thousand
Speaker 1: who believed, Naon. Some are saying it's two thousand because
Speaker 1: you're first preaching to Peter. It was three thousand, and
Speaker 1: now it's grown up to five thousand. So in total,
Speaker 1: in just a few days, because of the act of
Speaker 1: compassion of Peter, five thousand were added to the church. Wow.
Speaker 1: That is wow, Amen. And the second step, the second
Speaker 1: step in unleashing the full force of the church is
Speaker 1: unleashing courageous words. I want you to write this down.
Speaker 1: Number two. Unleashing happens when ordinary people start speaking with courage.
Speaker 1: Type in the comments sartions a being of courage. You know,
Speaker 1: there is a connection between compari of compassion and speaking
Speaker 1: with courage. So it's not just compassion, it's not just
Speaker 1: speaking with courage. You need to take that next step
Speaker 1: after compassion, speak with courage. Notice the order here. Peter
Speaker 1: had credibility because of his act of compassion. Because most
Speaker 1: of the time, as Christians, we want to impress people
Speaker 1: first with big words, with religious terminologies, with our knowledge,
Speaker 1: thinking that that is how we can get people to
Speaker 1: listen to us. I remember this one comedian. Every time
Speaker 1: that he goes up doing the stage, somebody would ask him, now,
Speaker 1: only you tip smoke a panamagiante just like you. They
Speaker 1: are saying, is one of the goats, the greatest ever comedian,
Speaker 1: you know, not just in our lifetime but ever. And
Speaker 1: people are saying how to become Upo and Sabin, don't
Speaker 1: it all it's Dave Chappelle. By the way, Sabin, Dave
Speaker 1: Chappelle that you don't stand up here because you're funny
Speaker 1: because you have funny things to say. You stand up
Speaker 1: here because you are interesting. It's the same thing with
Speaker 1: us speaking in the Gospel. It's not because of our words,
Speaker 1: it's because of who we are. It's because of what
Speaker 1: we have done, a man act of compassion. But it
Speaker 1: doesn't stop there. We need to follow it, of course,
Speaker 1: with courageous words. Sabis said verse one in two, a
Speaker 1: few verses before the Sabinasonatin, when when they started to believe,
Speaker 1: Faber and the priest and the captain of the temple
Speaker 1: guard and the seduces came up to Peter and John
Speaker 1: while they were speaking to the people. They were greatly
Speaker 1: disturbed because the apostles were teaching the people proclaiming in
Speaker 1: Jesus the resurrection of the dead. Remember, lambs among wolves
Speaker 1: talked about that a few a few weeks ago, they
Speaker 1: encountered Peter and John encountered wolves among them. Don't see
Speaker 1: Peter and John. Maybe maybe this is the reason why
Speaker 1: many followers of Jesus Christ just want to follow Jesus quietly. Now.
Speaker 1: I don't want to share the gospel pass because I
Speaker 1: don't want to make enemies, im offense, and I just
Speaker 1: want to follow Jesus Christ privately. You know, maybe that's
Speaker 1: what you are saying right now. You're saying that, you know,
Speaker 1: my relationship with Jesus, my faith is just between me
Speaker 1: and Jesus. I don't need to, you know, broadcast it.
Speaker 1: I don't need to. I don't need to tell other
Speaker 1: people that I'm a follower of Jesus Christ. It's inappropriate.
Speaker 1: I'maba right now. There's a lot of people who are
Speaker 1: an Amabel, irritated, offended by this person. Debates and talked
Speaker 1: about God, talked about Jesus Christ, talked about the problem
Speaker 1: with this country and the solution is God. And they're saying,
Speaker 1: now a gold Gimpasidenta and gog Lan is some boom
Speaker 1: Bible stadium Filipinas hm HM, separation between church and the government.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. Manny Pakiao, Manny Pacquiao came to that
Speaker 1: debate and he courageously spoke, spoke about the problems of
Speaker 1: this country, and he talked about the answer to that problem.
Speaker 1: We talked about God. And what happened to him because
Speaker 1: he spoke courageously, he was being persecuted, he was being bashed, ridiculed,
Speaker 1: he was being hated. Don't get me wrong. I'm not
Speaker 1: I'm not campaigning for many Pakiao. I'm not saying that
Speaker 1: we all vote him for president. If you want, go ahead,
Speaker 1: you know that's not that's not my my thing to
Speaker 1: say all of us should vote for him. No, for me,
Speaker 1: it's not just about running for president of the Philippines.
Speaker 1: That is just a small and somewhat hat somewhat insignificant
Speaker 1: to all. Lang. You are given six years to change
Speaker 1: the country. Just six years, I a significance, non, But
Speaker 1: you know what God has called us to do more.
Speaker 1: God has called us, created us, gave us this lifetime
Speaker 1: to make a difference in the world, not just six years. Amen.
Speaker 1: You know what what Manifaciao is doing. He is showing
Speaker 1: all of us how to become a true follower of
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. You know, if that is you that person
Speaker 1: to blawn all, ridiculing him, persecuting him, telling him that,
Speaker 1: you know, you shouldn't be saying that, you should just
Speaker 1: be saying that in church. That's just sad if you're
Speaker 1: a Christian and you are thinking that, you're saying that
Speaker 1: talking about talking about wolves. The Bible also says that
Speaker 1: there will be wolves among sheep's clothing. Yeah, it's inappropriate.
Speaker 1: You know what, you know what is inappropriate. You know
Speaker 1: what is more inappropriate. It's knowing the answer to the
Speaker 1: problem and not say anything about it. You know that Jesus,
Speaker 1: that this country needs Jesus Christ. But you are saying no, no,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to say anything that's inappropriate. Do you
Speaker 1: know who we should be bashing instead? You know now
Speaker 1: it's not the time to be quiet. Now, it's not
Speaker 1: the time not to say anything. The day of being quiet,
Speaker 1: the day of not speaking out, it has passed. Twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two is the year that we will be unleashed
Speaker 1: a man that we will preach the Gospel wherever and whenever.
Speaker 1: It's not just inappropriate, actually it's not just inappropriate to
Speaker 1: speak up, but it's on christ Like. If you're not
Speaker 1: going to speak up, then you're not a Christian. Try
Speaker 1: to say I'm sorry, that's the truth. If you're saying that,
Speaker 1: I'm just going to keep my faith, you're not being
Speaker 1: christ Like. But see, Jesus is quiet, he is he
Speaker 1: is loving. You know, there's a big difference between being
Speaker 1: quiet and being loving. There's a big difference between being
Speaker 1: quiet and being compassionate. Indeed, it's a bit tahimika. You're compassionate. Amen.
Speaker 1: It's time that we become unleashed and start to preach
Speaker 1: the gospel. Tottle people who are any to see petercy John.
Speaker 1: They knew that they would have that same faith as Jesus.
Speaker 1: Jesus was crucified just a couple of days ago, for
Speaker 1: what for preaching the the Kingdom of God? And as
Speaker 1: they preach the Gospels. Pay as they preach the Kingdom
Speaker 1: of God, they knew that possibly they can be crucified
Speaker 1: as well. But it did not stop them. It did
Speaker 1: not make them quiet. You know what happened when Jesus
Speaker 1: was crucified. That's when they become unleashed even more. In
Speaker 1: Chapter four, verse seventy nine, it says there they had
Speaker 1: Peter and John brought before them, and began to question them,
Speaker 1: by what power of what name did you do this?
Speaker 1: Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them,
Speaker 1: filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, rulers and
Speaker 1: elders of the people, if we are being called to
Speaker 1: account today for an act of kindness shown to a
Speaker 1: man who was lame, and are being asked how he
Speaker 1: was healed what's happening here? This fisherman, lamp in gal
Speaker 1: and unschooled ordinary. You know, usually those kind of people
Speaker 1: if they ask, Butchine a Sambian, you are offending a
Speaker 1: lot of people has been that. Sorry, I'll just be quiet.
Speaker 1: Do not talk about why? Don't he Peter, he was
Speaker 1: filled with the Holy spirit. He was courageous, start being
Speaker 1: out of the God. God did not give us the
Speaker 1: spirit of fear and discouragement, but of power, love and
Speaker 1: sound mind. He had all those three things, and he
Speaker 1: began to say, He asked, are you asking us of
Speaker 1: what happened? Just because of our act of kindness? He
Speaker 1: didn't talk to him how he was healed. They are
Speaker 1: being persecuted because they show kindness my europeon amen. So
Speaker 1: don't stop. Don't stop showing act of kindness. Don't stop
Speaker 1: showing act of compassion just because people are persecuting you.
Speaker 1: Maybe they're persecuting because you are not doing the right things.
Speaker 1: All right, If somebody is persecuting you, because in the
Speaker 1: can of Google something Ghan, there wouldn't been that persecution.
Speaker 1: That's not an attack against your faith. It's an attack
Speaker 1: against your katamar random gouga something Ghan, But if people
Speaker 1: are saying you shouldn't do that. You shouldn't be helping people.
Speaker 1: You shouldn't be loving people, you should be condemning them.
Speaker 1: That's wrong. That's what Peter is asking. We didn't do
Speaker 1: anything wrong. We just hear this person the verse ten.
Speaker 1: That's a good thing you're reading, Sabidan. Then know this,
Speaker 1: you and all the people of Israel. It is by
Speaker 1: the name of Jesus Christ, Sabina. Since you ask, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say you and all the people of Israel, it
Speaker 1: is by the name of Jesus Christ of Naturith, whom
Speaker 1: you're crucified, whom you crucify, the same people who crucify
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. The same very same people that crucified Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: Is the same people that Peter is talking to right now.
Speaker 1: That's boldness, that's courage. Wow, he's saying now, it is
Speaker 1: by the name of Jesus Christ, whom you crucified, but
Speaker 1: whom God raised from the dead. That this man stands
Speaker 1: before you healed he is in having lidsy quiet now, right,
Speaker 1: I might get crucified, so I won't say anything quiet
Speaker 1: and dial but no, because he was filled with the
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit and is by Jesus Christ, the one who
Speaker 1: you crucified. That's why he can walk. He was healed
Speaker 1: by him, Amen, he was filled with the Holy Spirit.
Speaker 1: And verse thirteen, Sabon. This is the verse that we
Speaker 1: talked about, Karina, but I'll be reading the full verse.
Speaker 1: When they saw the courage of Peter and John and
Speaker 1: realized that they were un schooled, ordinary man tka well
Speaker 1: al amtoa the mag Maxellita. They just ordinary people. But
Speaker 1: because they spoke with courage, they all was amazed by them, Sabidon.
Speaker 1: They were astonished, and they took note that this man
Speaker 1: had been with Jesus. Because they were courageous. They knew
Speaker 1: as Jesus, are you getting what I'm saying here? They
Speaker 1: took notes that they are followers of Jesus Christ. So
Speaker 1: if you're asking how do people know that I'm a Christian?
Speaker 1: Number one, it's through act of compassion, and number two,
Speaker 1: it's by you speaking boldly courageously. Amen. That's how people
Speaker 1: would take note. He's been with Jesus. He has a
Speaker 1: relationship with Jesus. You know. That is why Jesus loves
Speaker 1: to unleash who are unqualified, the people who aren't qualified,
Speaker 1: because people will take notice not of their qualification. People
Speaker 1: will not take notice because they are super talented, because
Speaker 1: they are super knowledgeable, because they are super resources. But
Speaker 1: they will take noice because they have spent time with him.
Speaker 1: They would not see a Magelli, sykid I Magellins, Robie Magazins, Gennell.
Speaker 1: You know what people will see to go to Christiano
Speaker 1: Magelinka say maybe he spend time with Jesus Christ. Amen,
Speaker 1: I want you to write down this number. Three. Unleashing
Speaker 1: happens when ordinary people spend time with Jesus Christ. In
Speaker 1: ordinary people spend time reading, doing their devotion. When ordinary
Speaker 1: people take time to ask God for more in their lives.
Speaker 1: When ordinary people take time to have fellowship with fellow
Speaker 1: compassionate and courageous people in their squads, in their life group,
Speaker 1: in their cell group. When ordinary people take time to pray,
Speaker 1: you know being unleashed. It's being engaged. Peter and John
Speaker 1: made a big difference that day. Thousands of people were safe.
Speaker 1: The same people who crucify Jesus Christ took notice all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, something is happening here, something is changing here.
Speaker 1: Why because they spend time with Jesus. That's how Peter
Speaker 1: and John had the compassion, had the courage to speak up.
Speaker 1: Maybe you're saying, pasor and here up, none and here
Speaker 1: up to have compassion with other people, especially those people
Speaker 1: who persecute you. It's so hard to speak up in
Speaker 1: front of many people. It's hard to speak up in
Speaker 1: this world, especially now musu usu and cancel culture. All
Speaker 1: of a sudden, people can can comment whatever in my
Speaker 1: post and people can gang up on me. It's so hard.
Speaker 1: Do you know how how Peter and John made it
Speaker 1: easy for them by them spending time with Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: So if you're saying here up, pastor, I challenge you
Speaker 1: spend more time, spend more time in your devotion, spend
Speaker 1: more time in prayer, spend more time being with the
Speaker 1: people that God plays in your life and your squads,
Speaker 1: being with your leader, being with your pastor talking to them. Amen,
Speaker 1: do you know what you would find yourself having this courage.
Speaker 1: You will find yourself having the heart to do compassionate
Speaker 1: things things thing domana Gaga before the key, spend time
Speaker 1: with Jesus. Amen. You know with all the unwordsords have
Speaker 1: the bunget canina a him, all of those things that
Speaker 1: we think that makes us unqualified. There is this just
Speaker 1: one un that we forgot to say here that actually
Speaker 1: makes us unqualified. You might have bung get Cornino. Maybe
Speaker 1: the things that you are thinking before it doesn't make
Speaker 1: you unqualified because Jesus qualifies you. But there is just
Speaker 1: one word that unqualifies you for real. That word is
Speaker 1: this unavailable. You won't be unqualified if you're under resource,
Speaker 1: if you are untrained, unprepared, but you are unqualified if
Speaker 1: you are unavailable. To please type in the comment section
Speaker 1: right now unavailable. There's a lot of people that God
Speaker 1: used tho its biblical times, a lot of unqualified people,
Speaker 1: a lot of ordinary people God use, you know, to
Speaker 1: do amazing things. But not only that, God uh does
Speaker 1: amazing things through their lives, not because they are unqualified,
Speaker 1: but because they are available. Maybe you're not saying, you're
Speaker 1: saying right now, I'm not saying no, but I'm not.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying not now. You know, events I will eventually,
Speaker 1: I will follow Jesus, eventually, you know, I will preach
Speaker 1: the God. But eventually I will have my own sell group.
Speaker 1: I will have my own squad. But not now, I'm
Speaker 1: so busy. Not now he you know, pandemic, or maybe
Speaker 1: sayings called patapus in school. You know, I just need
Speaker 1: to concentrate on this, or maybe saying then I will
Speaker 1: be unleashed because right now I'm unqualified. You are unqualified
Speaker 1: because you are unavailable. It was being unavailable that kept
Speaker 1: you on that leash for so long. So you're saying
Speaker 1: that God, I want to be unleashed, and God is
Speaker 1: saying to you right now, the problem is not the circumstances.
Speaker 1: It's not your qualification, it's your unavailability. It's you saying
Speaker 1: all the time, no, no, not now, No, It's time
Speaker 1: to cut that leash. Bless the city Church. Let's unleash
Speaker 1: the full force of the church by saying yes, Lord.
Speaker 1: You know, we are saying that, we are singing that God.
Speaker 1: We say yes all the promise that you have spoken,
Speaker 1: all the words that you've released in my life. Lord,
Speaker 1: we are saying yes to that Lord. We are saying
Speaker 1: yes to the Holy You know why how the Twelve
Speaker 1: Disciples the Church turned the world upside down because they
Speaker 1: say yes to Jesus. Because they say yes when Jesus says,
Speaker 1: go and make disciples of all nations. You know how
Speaker 1: we can change. You know how we can make a
Speaker 1: difference in this world by being available twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1: We need to say it now. We need to say
Speaker 1: to the world, Yes, I will be engaged. I will
Speaker 1: not just attend my squad, but I will I will
Speaker 1: be engaged in it. I will not just attend it,
Speaker 1: but I will open my own squahan. I will help
Speaker 1: other people find their way back to Jesus Christ. I
Speaker 1: will not just sit watching the live stream, but I
Speaker 1: will be doing my devotion every day. I will be unleash.
Speaker 1: I will be unleashed. I'm not just going to stand
Speaker 1: and watch other people serve God, but I will serve
Speaker 1: God myself. Amen. I don't know what I can do.
Speaker 1: Maybe I can help people. I can help the church
Speaker 1: it deliver humana packages, samagatahota. Maybe I can start there.
Speaker 1: Maybe you can start by welcoming other people. Maybe you
Speaker 1: can start by just inviting people to church, inviting people
Speaker 1: to your squad, being unlead, saying yes to God's calling
Speaker 1: in our lives. Come on, let's pray Lord Bami Silama
Speaker 1: for this word. Thank you God for reminding us and
Speaker 1: making it clear, Sarmon that being unleashed is not pouring blessings.
Speaker 1: Being unleashed is not, you know, being reaching our goals
Speaker 1: and our prayers. Lord, Thank you for clearing it up.
Speaker 1: The being unleashed God is removing the things that is
Speaker 1: stopping us, including our own desires, including our own arm
Speaker 1: wants and needs, including our own self. Lord. But I
Speaker 1: pray right now that you unleash the mindset of us
Speaker 1: being unqualified to do what you want us to do.
Speaker 1: Thank you God, And we receive that word, Lord, that
Speaker 1: you are the one who qualified us because of what
Speaker 1: you have done and who you are. And there is
Speaker 1: nothing that we can do to unqualify ourselves besides us
Speaker 1: being unavailable for you. So right now, God Lord, we
Speaker 1: are saying yes and amen to your boy. Whatever you
Speaker 1: want us to do, whatever plans you have for us
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty two, it's a yes for us. Lord.
Speaker 1: We will follow you and we will do what you
Speaker 1: want us to do. God Lord. We are so excited
Speaker 1: for what you are about to do in our church, God,
Speaker 1: and I pray Lord that each and every one of us, Lord,
Speaker 1: we become leaders of leaders. Now. We know that we
Speaker 1: are not meant to just sit and watch. Now, we
Speaker 1: are not just meant to sit and listen. But we
Speaker 1: are here to stand up and to do something and
Speaker 1: make a difference in the lives of the people all
Speaker 1: around the story, the lives of our families and our
Speaker 1: community and our nation. Lord. But I'm Slama God, And
Speaker 1: even though we are unqualified according to the standard of
Speaker 1: this world, but we are qualified according to the standard
Speaker 1: of your kingdom. Lord. We bring you back all the
Speaker 1: glory and all your honor. God. In this we pray
