  SPEAKER_00: Welcome to One Gospel, bringing you the full truth of God's Word, clearly explained.
• 0:07
  SPEAKER_00: Together with our host, Johann Toit, we'll unpack scripture to understand what's written and grow as a disciple of Christ.
• 0:15
  SPEAKER_00: Ready to take notes?
• 0:16
  SPEAKER_00: Let's open the Bible.
• 0:20
  SPEAKER_01: Hi there and welcome to today's episode of One Gospel.
• 0:23
  SPEAKER_01: I'm your host, Johan Toots, and as always, I'm excited to share the word of God with you.
• 0:28
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 0:29
  SPEAKER_01: And so I started this series called Effective Evangelism.
• 0:35
  SPEAKER_01: And I've been covering a lot because there's so much to share on effective evangelism.
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_01: I was surprised myself that I had so much to share on that.
• 0:45
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I I didn't come far yet.
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_01: I've been sharing on the need for soul winning.
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_01: I really want to recommend you to go back to the very first episode and just follow along from there.
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_01: I first shared on the need for soul winning.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_01: Why we really need to win souls for Jesus.
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_01: It's the command that Jesus gave us.
• 1:05
  SPEAKER_01: And yes, he gave us the command to make disciples, but if you do not win them for Jesus, you cannot disciple them.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_01: So we first need to win them, and then we can disciple them.
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_01: And so this is the reason why Jesus came, that no one would perish but have everlasting life.
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_01: And so, you know, it's not, man, there's too much to share on that.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_01: I don't want to go there also.
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_01: But you know, this everlasting life is knowing the Father so that people can have a personal relationship with God, they can have communion and oneness and unity with God again, and they can be restored unto God.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_01: You know, so that's the whole point where Jesus came.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_01: He came to save that what was lost, and that what was lost was the intimacy and the oneness with God.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_01: God was separated from uh men were separated from God because of their sin nature, because of their fallen nature, and then Jesus came to restore that.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_01: And so, how will they know if nobody will preach?
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_01: How will they believe in those in him from whom they have not heard, and how will they hear if no one preach?
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_01: And then the Bible says, How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_01: And so there is a need for soul winning.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_01: And then I shared my personal testimony as an evangelist, how God gave me a concept of drawing the attention of people that are not seeking for God or that are not aware that they're really seeking for God.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_01: You know how you can how I can draw people from the world, like literally from the world, that would never come to a Christian festival, that would never come to listen to a worship band or an evangelist or a healing and miracle service, but they still need Jesus, and they don't know until you tell them.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_01: Because how will they believe in him from whom they have not heard, and how will they hear what nobody preaches?
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_01: Romans 10:17 says that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God, and so we need to share the gospel of the kingdom with them, and so they can decide whether they want to receive it, yes or no.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_01: And so I shared a lot on that, and then we started to teach on uh I'm saying we because I'm talking about me and the Holy Spirit, amen.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_01: We started to teach on uh you know how we need to preach the gospel of the kingdom, that we would not we that Jesus came to bring a gospel, and that gospel, that good news, Evangelion, is the gospel of the kingdom of God, and that gospel is good news.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_01: The kingdom of God has good news for us, and Jesus came to preach that.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_01: He says, No one comes to the Father but by me.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_01: You know, and so he also gave his disciples that command, and so that's where we left off in the previous episode.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_01: And so, Father God, thank you for this teaching, and I pray it's gonna be a blessing for those two here in the name of Jesus, amen.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_01: And so, there is no other gospel than the gospel of the kingdom.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_01: That's what Paul teaches in Galatians, as a matter of fact.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_01: Let's just read that quickly so I can quote it right.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_01: A little bit here more.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_01: In Galatians 1, verse 6, Paul says, I am surprised, you know.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_01: I am come on, just though they're so thin those those pages that when you do this, a whole book is gone, you know.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_01: So Galatians 1 verse 6 says, I marvel that you are turning away so soon from him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different gospel.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_01: And of course, Paul here is talking about people that say that you are saved by grace, but now you have to do all that kind of other things, you have to, you know, um circumcise yourself and you know, and apply all those rules and regulations, etc.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_01: And that's not the gospel.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_01: The gospel is the finished work of Jesus Christ at the cross, that we are saved by grace through faith, and it's a gift of God, not of ourselves, not of works, so that no one should boast.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_01: So this was not the gospel.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_01: And so, but there are also there are a lot of other people uh that don't maybe share that you need to be circumcised, but they do share, you know, that if you, you know, just pre preach this little prayer, then you will be saved.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_01: It's not the gospel, you know.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_01: Uh telling people, turn or burn, you know, if you don't do not accept Jesus today, you're going straight to hell.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_01: That's not the gospel, that's not the good news of the gospel.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_01: And so here Paul refers to the people that wanted to bring them under the law, but then in the same time he says something very interesting.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_01: He says, Uh, who called you, uh, who called you, how are you turning away to a different gospel, which is not another.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_01: Which is not another, there is no other gospel, but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_01: But even if we or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_01: That's powerful, strong uh words.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_01: And as we have said before, verse 9, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_01: And he says, Do I now persuade men or God?
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_01: Or do I seek to please men?
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_01: You know, Paul says, Listen, there is only one gospel, I'm not ashamed of that gospel, it's the power of God until salvation.
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_01: There is no other gospel.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_01: Whenever you add something to it or leave something from it, that's a different gospel, which is not another.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_01: And anyone who does that, let him be accursed.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_01: You know, with other words, you know, that is not that's not a good thing.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_01: No, there is no other gospel.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_01: There is only one gospel, and that is the gospel of the kingdom of God, which is which is built on the foundation that Christ is the only way, the truth, and the life, that you are saved by grace through faith, you know that that that you receive by unmerited favor the salvation, the restoration unto God, peace with God, and you can become a born-again, uh, you know, new creation, a new man in Christ Jesus based on his sacrifice, not what you can do for God, but what God has done for you.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_01: It's laden the foundation that is laid by Paul.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_01: As a matter of fact, you know, Paul says in Luke 15, not in Luke, sorry, Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15, how did I get to Luke?
• 7:20
  SPEAKER_01: Anyway, I'm using so many Bible verses that sometimes you know I'm just mixing up stuff, especially because English is not my mother language.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_01: But nevertheless, so you know he says in uh 1 Corinthians 15, he says, moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preach to you, which also you received, and in which you stand, by which you also are saved if you hold fast to that word which I preach to you, unless you believed in vain.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_01: There is only one gospel that I've been preaching to you, and I'm gonna preach it to again to you.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna declare to you again the gospel which I preach to you.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_01: This is the gospel, there is no other gospel.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_01: And the gospel is I deliver to you, first of all, that which I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, that he was buried, and that he rose again on the third day according to the scriptures, and that it was seen by Cephas, and then by the twelfth.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_01: And so, this is the gospel of the kingdom.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_01: Jesus, the Son of the Living God, who laid down his deity, who laid down his majesty, who took on the form of a bondservant and became equal to man, who humiliated himself and became obedient to death, even to the death of the cross.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_01: Jesus, the son of the living God, who came to die for you at the cross.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_01: It is he who died for your sins.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_01: By his blood, he washed away all sins, and he is the only way that we can go back, uh we can go back into this oneness with God.
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_01: We can enter into the Garden of Eden and you know we can eat freely from the tree of life because he will wipe out and blot out, blot out uh, you know, our sin nature.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_01: You know, that's the gospel of the kingdom, and so we need to preach to those who trusted to us uh this good news of the gospel of the kingdom of God that Jesus was preaching.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_01: There is no other gospel.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_01: So, and you know, this command he gave to not only his apostles, which a lot of people say that that is for the apostles, the apostles were sent out, the apostles were out to go out and preach the gospel and then heal the sick and cleanse the lepers and raise the dead and cast out demons, that's no longer for today.
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_01: That doesn't stand, man, because if it is no longer for today, what use is it for me to know that they did that in the past?
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_01: You know, if it's not for today, then did God change?
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_01: Doesn't He do nothing anymore now?
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_01: He doesn't heal, He doesn't set free, He doesn't cast out demons, He doesn't, you know, um let people, you know, uh be born again.
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_01: He's just you know it stopped after the 12 apostles, they went and go and did all that things, and now it's stopped, it's no longer for today.
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_01: That doesn't make any sense.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_01: You know, my God is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_01: He's the unchangeable changer, the offense, the beginning and the end.
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_01: He never changes, and he called us his disciples.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_01: I am a disciple of Jesus.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_01: It's not only for his uh twelve apostles.
• 10:28
  SPEAKER_01: As a matter of fact, in Luke, it says something really nice to just you know Luke 10.
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_01: So here in Luke 10 it says this.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_01: Here it says in Luke 10 verse 1 after these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two before his face into every city and place where he self was about to go, and say, The true the harvest is truly great, but the laborers are few.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_01: Therefore pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_01: Go your way, behold, I sent you out as lambs among the wolves.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_01: You know, and then it says in in in um here it says in uh verse 9, and heal the sick and say to them, the kingdom of God has come near to you.
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_01: So he appoints another 70 here.
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_01: That's not only his twelve apostles, and then he also tells them to pray to the Father to send even more laborers, because that won't cut it.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_01: The seventy won't cut it, you know, and so that's why he says it's better for me to go, that when I go, I will send the comfort of the Holy Spirit, and he will be within you.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_01: He will be with you, and we will be in you for eternity.
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_01: And so, you know, God, Jesus, by his spirit can be in all of us, he calls us all to go.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm gonna share a lot of Bible verses on that, you know, and so but we need to preach, you know, love and grace and acceptation, uh uh, you know, by uh acceptance, you know, by uh God the Father and through Jesus Christ, you know, um, to the people.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_01: We need to preach that in love to them.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_01: And so in Luke 9, you know, here it says that he called his twelve disciples, but I am also a disciple of Jesus.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_01: He also called me and he also called you.
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_01: It says there, then he called his twelve disciples, Luke 9, verse 1, together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_01: And that's for a different moment, but he gave us power.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_01: And the power that he gave us is to heal to cure diseases and to have authority over all demons.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_01: So, you know, there's no demon in hell that has any power of authority over you, you have power and authority over the demons, amen.
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_01: And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_01: And so he sends you and he sends me to go to preach the gospel of the kingdom and then you know heal the sick and cast out demons.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_01: And he says in Luke 9, verse 6 something very interesting.
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_01: In Luke 9, verse 6.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_01: Um, well, it doesn't say that in Luke 9, verse 6, so I don't know where it says.
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_01: I guess I'm wrong, but it says, Let the dairy let the dead bury the dead, but you go and preach the gospel of the kingdom.
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_01: Now, where does it say that?
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_01: Anyway, it is in the Bible though.
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_01: It says, you know, he says, Let the dead bury the dead, but you go and preach the gospel of the kingdom.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_01: And so that's what we need to go, we need to do.
• 13:49
  SPEAKER_01: We need to let those who are without God take care of those who are without God, and we need to go and preach a living God to a dying world.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_01: We need to go out and preach the gospel of the kingdom.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_01: Now, the fruit of the gospel that Jesus preached was that all kinds of miracles and signs happened, and a lot of people were being set free, they were redeemed, you know, and they were healed for all kinds of diseases.
• 14:13
  SPEAKER_01: That is a fruit that followed the gospel that he was preaching.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_01: And so, when the disciples went out and then preached the gospel of the kingdom, they bore exactly the same fruits that Jesus bore when he was preaching the gospel of the kingdom.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_01: And so, as I was reading in Luke 10, verse uh one, that he pointed another 70 to go out and to preach the gospel of the kingdom, you know.
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, and they, when they came back, you know, in verse 17, they were rejoicing because they saw that the same things that Jesus uh was, the same things that Jesus was doing when he was preaching the gospel is the same things that happened uh when they were preaching the gospel.
• 14:55
  SPEAKER_01: And so it says here in verse 17 that the ten um sorry, then the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name.
• 15:07
  SPEAKER_01: And he said to them, As our Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
• 15:12
  SPEAKER_01: Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_01: Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this that the spirits are subject subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_01: Man, that's so beautiful.
• 15:31
  SPEAKER_01: That's some people people uh you know um forget to read that last verse also.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_01: He had given he had sent them out two by two, and he said, you know, just preach the gospel to the kingdom, heal the sick, and cleanse lepers and raise the dead, cast out demons, freely have received, so freely you give.
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_01: And so they went out and they did what Jesus said that they could do.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_01: They were obedient to the word of Jesus.
• 15:55
  SPEAKER_01: Why are you calling me Lord, Lord, and do not do what I say?
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_01: Luke 6 46.
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_01: And so they went and they did, they obeyed him.
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_01: And when they went out, they were preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God.
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_01: And while they were preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, you know, demons were, you know, submitted to them and were being cast out, and people were being healed of all kinds of diseases and all kinds of sickness.
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_01: And so they were so rejoicing over that that Jesus says, Man, I saw Satan falling from heaven like lightning, you know.
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_01: And you know, um, a lot of people always say, Now, how is that possible?
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_01: How can Satan fall like lightning from heaven because he already was throwing on the earth?
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_01: He already was a fallen angel, so how can he fall again like lightning, you know, when he was already fallen?
• 16:46
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I'm gonna give you a little bit of Johan doctrine, you know, which I believe is my personal belief, that Satan, you know, the Bible says that he is lifted himself up, you know, he wanted to lift himself above God, he wanted to elevate himself above God.
• 17:05
  SPEAKER_01: He wants he wants people to worship him as God instead of worshiping God as God, who only deserves all the worship and all the praise in Jesus' name, amen.
• 17:16
  SPEAKER_01: And so Satan's character and his nature did not change when he fell.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_01: You know, he fell, and then that was his nature, his fallen nature.
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_01: He is a deceiver and a liar from the beginning.
• 17:31
  SPEAKER_01: And Satan still has the same desire.
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_01: He wants people to deny God and worship him and accept him, and he wants to be elevated above God, he wants to lift himself up above God.
• 17:46
  SPEAKER_01: So every time that somebody is worshiping the devil without him even knowing that he's worshiping the devil, like he's worshiping, you know, evil doings, wicked works, you know, iniquity.
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_01: Sorry, cut that out.
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_01: He's the they're worshiping iniquities, they're worshiping transgressions, they are worshiping, you know, all that stuff, you know, that is from the enemy, that's from the devil, you know, and uh they are glorifying evil stuff, they are glorifying crime, they're glorifying violence, and they're glorifying all those things that are from darkness, and you know, and then when people do that, you know, Satan is being lifted up, and he's been lifted up, and he's been lifted up.
• 18:29
  SPEAKER_01: But then there is a disciple of Jesus, and then that disciple casts out a demon, or that disciple is you know is healing somebody from their sickness, you know, or from their weakness or their pain or whatever is evil that came against that person.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_01: Every time that somebody is pulled out of the darkness and placed into the kingdom of the sun, you know, because they have been preached the gospel of the kingdom to them and they accepted that gospel and they repented and they were born again.
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_01: Every time that happens, Satan, who was just lifting himself up, falls flat on his face.
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_01: That's why he's called a toothless lion.
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_01: Because he has no teeth, because every time he grows back a little baby milk teeth, you know, he just falls flat on his face on the street, on the pavement, and then spits out the teeth.
• 19:17
  SPEAKER_01: And so he doesn't have any teeth, he can only chew you to death, but that's the only thing, you know.
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_01: So it's like old slew food comes straight like lightning from heaven.
• 19:27
  SPEAKER_01: Every time you do what God tells you to do, and you are bearing food for the kingdom of God.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_01: That's what I believe.
• 19:32
  SPEAKER_01: And so he says, I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_01: And then he says, Listen, I have given you authority and power, and I will share on that later on also.
• 19:41
  SPEAKER_01: But then he says, Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this that the spirits are subject, subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.
• 19:49
  SPEAKER_01: You know, so we shouldn't rejoice on the fact that demons are submitted to us and that we can heal the sick and cleanse lepers and raise the dead, which is amazing, you know.
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_01: But you don't rejoice in that.
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_01: Rejoice in the fact that you are a child of the living God.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_01: Rejoice in the fact that you know that you are okay with God and that everybody that you are reaching with the good news of the gospel of the kingdom and who receives it, that he also is okay with God.
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_01: You should rejoice in that, because that's the end goal, that no one would perish, but it all would come to repentance, amen.
• 20:20
  SPEAKER_01: And that's powerful.
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_01: And so after Christ gave orders to the disciples, you know, in Mark 6, 6 6 15, you know, and when you go, you know, preach the gospel of the kingdom, you know, and those who have believed and were baptized will be saved, and who have not believed will be condemned, you know, and these signs will follow you, you know, um, who believe.
• 20:39
  SPEAKER_01: And you know, in Matthew 28, you know, to me has been given all power in heaven and on earth, and you know, I'm you know, go into all the world and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to uh do everything that I have taught you and I've I have commanded you, and I will be with you.
• 20:59
  SPEAKER_01: And then in Luke 24, 48, you know, it's really let me just quote that.
• 21:05
  SPEAKER_01: Luke 24, 48.
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_01: Here it says, then, and you are witnesses of these things.
• 21:11
  SPEAKER_01: So let me just do in 37 in Dutch, it's in 38, but in in uh in English it's in 47, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem, and you are witnesses of these things.
• 21:25
  SPEAKER_01: And so, you know, he just gave those commandments to all his disciples, and he gives those commandments to you.
• 21:31
  SPEAKER_01: And then in Luke 24, 51, they started, uh, you know, uh, then they began the real work, you know, when he ascended into heaven.
• 21:42
  SPEAKER_01: So it says here in verse 51 now it came to pass while he blessed them that he was parted from them and carried up into heaven.
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_01: And they worshipped him and they returned to Jerusalem with great joy, and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God.
• 21:58
  SPEAKER_01: And that's the moment.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_01: That they are ready and go, they had the great commission, they had the commandment to go and preach the gospel of the kingdom of God.
• 22:07
  SPEAKER_01: They were endued with the Holy Spirit, you know, the the baptism of the Holy Spirit, they received him in Acts 1.
• 22:15
  SPEAKER_01: Let me just go there quickly, also, to make it complete for you.
• 22:23
  SPEAKER_01: So in Acts 1, it says here in verse 8, you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be witnesses to me in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and even to the ends of the earth.
• 22:35
  SPEAKER_01: And then in verse 2, Acts chapter 2, and verse 1 it says, When the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place, and suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting, and then appeared to them divided tongues as a fire, and set on upon each of them, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.
• 23:01
  SPEAKER_01: And so, and then Peter, baptized with the Holy Spirit, rose up and started to preach the gospel to the people.
• 23:07
  SPEAKER_01: We can read it from 2 verse 14.
• 23:10
  SPEAKER_01: And then people said, What do we need to do?
• 23:11
  SPEAKER_01: And then he says, Repent, believe the gospel, and be baptized, each and every one of you, to the remission of your sins, and you receive the promise of the Holy Spirit, you know, and that we have heard from the Father.
• 23:23
  SPEAKER_01: And so, you know, everywhere they went, they immediately start to preach the gospel of the kingdom, and the message was confirmed by God by signs and wonders, which we can read here in Mark, in Mark 9, no, not in Mark 9, I'm so sorry.
• 23:40
  SPEAKER_01: In Mark Mark 16.
• 23:48
  SPEAKER_01: Alright, Mark 16, verse 15, it says, And he said to them, Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_01: In the Amplified it says, and preach the gospel of the kingdom to every creature.
• 24:01
  SPEAKER_01: He who believes and is baptized will be saved, but he who does not believe will be condemned.
• 24:06
  SPEAKER_01: And these signs will follow those who believe.
• 24:08
  SPEAKER_01: In my name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues, they will take up serpents, and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them.
• 24:17
  SPEAKER_01: They will lay their hands on the sick, and they will be governed.
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_01: So then after the Lord had spoken to them, he was received up into heaven and sat down on the right hand of God, and they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying accompanying signs.
• 24:36
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 24:37
  SPEAKER_01: And so every time that they were preaching the gospel of the kingdom, every time they were preaching this only gospel by which people must be saved.
• 24:48
  SPEAKER_01: You know, there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved but by Christ Jesus.
• 24:53
  SPEAKER_01: When they were preaching this gospel of the kingdom, automatically people were being healed, people were being set free, people were being saved, people were touched by the Holy Spirit.
• 25:07
  SPEAKER_01: Man, you know, it's because it's the gospel of the kingdom, and that is the gospel that we need to preach to people.
• 25:13
  SPEAKER_01: So you could ask yourself also this that if you are preaching the gospel to somebody and people are not being touched by the Holy Spirit, people are not, you know, being set free or being healed, was that then the gospel that you were preaching?
• 25:26
  SPEAKER_01: Because they were preaching the gospel and you know everywhere, and the Lord was working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs.
• 25:34
  SPEAKER_01: And so the gospel of the kingdom is also preaching to people.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_01: Listen, you know, God loves you so much, He also wants you well.
• 25:40
  SPEAKER_01: He doesn't just want to forgive your sins and then make you his son, you know, so that you can live forever in his presence when you die.
• 25:47
  SPEAKER_01: He wants you well, he wants to bless you, he wants to prosper you.
• 25:52
  SPEAKER_01: Is there any problem that you are facing at this moment in your life?
• 25:55
  SPEAKER_01: You know, is there any pain that you are suffering at this moment, or is there something coming against you, any depression or affliction or addiction or whatever, you know?
• 26:04
  SPEAKER_01: And then you know, you you you cast that out.
• 26:07
  SPEAKER_01: You you you you pray for them, you know, so that they might be healed and you set them free in the name of Jesus, and then God will do that, confirming the words that you have been preaching to them, confirming the the gospel of the kingdom.
• 26:20
  SPEAKER_01: And so every time we see this, you know, and um that is what God called us to do: that we need to preach the gospel of the kingdom.
• 26:30
  SPEAKER_01: And that was not only for the apostles, it's also for you and for me.
• 26:34
  SPEAKER_01: And this gospel is good news.
• 26:36
  SPEAKER_01: There is peace with God, and we only need to believe to receive.
• 26:41
  SPEAKER_01: And so we believe what we what we we believe in our hearts, we confess with our mouths, and then we will be saved.
• 26:48
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 26:49
  SPEAKER_01: I need to continue on this in the next episode, so I really hope and pray that you were blessed by it, and I hope to see you again.
