Transcript
- 0:01SPEAKER_00: Welcome to One Gospel, bringing you the full truth of God's Word.
- 0:05SPEAKER_00: Clearly explained.
- 0:07SPEAKER_00: Together with our host, Johann Tuit, we'll unpack scripture to understand what's written and grow as a disciple of Christ.
- 0:15SPEAKER_00: Ready to take notes?
- 0:16SPEAKER_00: Let's open the Bible.
- 0:20SPEAKER_01: Hi there and welcome to today's episode of One Gospel.
- 0:23SPEAKER_01: I am your host, Johan Tut, and as always, I am excited to share the Word of God with you.
- 0:28SPEAKER_01: And man, I'm in the middle of this amazing series called Effective Evangelism.
- 0:34SPEAKER_01: And I'm really, you know, taking my time because I've been sharing a lot of personal testimonies, you know, on how my own personal journey went to go and preach the gospel before the multitudes and the crowds.
- 0:47SPEAKER_01: And you know, just for me to relive that all again makes me realize how special it is and how amazing it is that you know God would entrust me with something so huge as that He entrusted me with that we are really reaching like hundreds of thousands of people through this open-air festivals, the vida that we are organizing all over the world each year.
- 1:07SPEAKER_01: And you know how many people are accepting Jesus as for the very first time as their Lord and Savior.
- 1:13SPEAKER_01: It's the whole point why Jesus came, you know, and then of course we want to make disciples out of them.
- 1:19SPEAKER_01: And so I left off in the previous episode because I've been sharing on the need for soul winning before we can go to the effective way of soul winning.
- 1:29SPEAKER_01: But I'm already sharing my way, the the way that God is giving me that is truly effective, you know, to never go empty-handed to people, always go with something that they need, whether it's gonna be, you know, a sandwich or a blanket, you know, food parcel, you know, or maybe they need a refrigerator, I don't know.
- 1:50SPEAKER_01: But you know, there are people that have certain needs.
- 1:52SPEAKER_01: And so when you go to them, you give them something that they need.
- 1:55SPEAKER_01: But it could be a hug, it could be a smile, you know, it could be a rose, I don't know, whatever they need, you know.
- 2:02SPEAKER_01: And so if we if we go to people, you know, um, like if I would share the gospel with my neighbor, you know, I think I can reach her better when I come come to bring her a piece of cake and say, man, listen, uh, I've been baking a cake, you know, and I have too much that I can eat all by myself together with my wife.
- 2:20SPEAKER_01: Well, she can eat it, but I don't want her to that I need to roll her out of the house, you know.
- 2:25SPEAKER_01: So, you know, we wanted to share this cake with you.
- 2:27SPEAKER_01: Do you have a minute for a cup of coffee?
- 2:29SPEAKER_01: And then bam, you know, I can preach the gospel.
- 2:31SPEAKER_01: You see, and so there's a lot of ways, a lot of ways that can be very effective on evangelism.
- 2:39SPEAKER_01: But also when you go out on the streets, you know, into the cities and the villages and the stores and the shops and wherever, you know, to preach the gospel, to evangelize people, there is a lot of effective ways, and I all I want to cover all of them.
- 2:55SPEAKER_01: But I want to go from the beginning, you know.
- 2:57SPEAKER_01: So I've shared on the need for soul winning, so we understand that now, that there is a huge need for soul winning.
- 3:03SPEAKER_01: Then I shared on how God gave me a concept is winning those people that to win the reach, the unreached, you know, to reach the unreached for the kingdom of God.
- 3:14SPEAKER_01: And then, you know, uh I shared a lot of testimonies, and I'm about to share one more that's really amazing, also that will go really well with what I've been sharing on till now, and then I will move on uh to preaching the gospel of the kingdom and then what that really means, and how and what kind of gospel that is that we need to preach.
- 3:35SPEAKER_01: And so, and then we will go on and to the next phase, and we get we will see how far we get.
- 3:40SPEAKER_01: But you know, to me it has been a blessing already, and I also pray it has been a blessing for you.
- 3:45SPEAKER_01: And um, you know, it just made you made you aware of why it is so important that we win souls with Jesus and what it all takes for us, you know, to think outside of the box to to reach those people that you normally could never ever reach if you do it in the old way, you know, because um that time has gone, there's a season for everything, you know.
- 4:07SPEAKER_01: This season is now working, and maybe, you know, in 25 years or in 50 years, this also doesn't work anymore, you know.
- 4:15SPEAKER_01: But maybe the Lord already got back then by then, because if we do it in this phase and we all do in this um uh time um uh how you call it um this uh rhythm, then you know, eventually everybody will know about the Lord, amen.
- 4:31SPEAKER_01: If we really in this uh pace, yeah, in this pace, that's the word I was looking for.
- 4:36SPEAKER_01: So if we're gonna do it in this pace, you know, then we really can reach a lot of people for the kingdom of God.
- 4:41SPEAKER_01: And not only if we do it like how I'm doing it with the big crowds, but also the one-on-ones, you know, if we all as the body rise up and one-on-one evangelize people that we meet and encounter in this world that we are living in, and we do it the way that God teaches us through the in this word, you know, and we really share people what true repentance is and we win them over for the kingdom of God, and we disciple them, and then they go and do the same thing, then we can as one body reach this world like in no time, and we can and we can, you know, get them all saved.
- 5:16SPEAKER_01: You know, we don't need to disciple anybody anymore if everybody is saved, amen.
- 5:20SPEAKER_01: And so then Jesus can come back in all of his glory.
- 5:24SPEAKER_01: That's what he says in Matthew 24, 14, that this gospel of the kingdom must be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
- 5:32SPEAKER_01: So there's a lot of work to do, amen.
- 5:35SPEAKER_01: Father God, thank you so much for this teaching and thank you for your word, thank you for what you are doing, and I pray that people will be taught how they effectively can evangelize, you know, and how they can make an impact and multiply themselves for your kingdom so that your name may be glorified and Jesus can come back in all of his glory.
- 5:52SPEAKER_01: I praise you in the name of Jesus.
- 5:55SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 5:56SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 5:57SPEAKER_01: And so, you know, I want to share this testimony, um, you know, and then I want to conclude the need for soul winning, uh, and we go on, like, you know, what kind of gospel then we are called to preach.
- 6:10SPEAKER_01: Um, but I remember when the time of COVID was in 2020.
- 6:18SPEAKER_01: I mean, the whole world was in lockdown, some earlier than others, and some went in lockdown, opened up, and went in lockdown and opened up and went in lockdown again, you know, and so the whole world was in panic and chaos, you know, as you all know, of course.
- 6:32SPEAKER_01: And some terrible things happened, and some terrible poor decisions were made, you know, and we can all think of something that we need to think on, but we all know what kind of system is behind it, you know, and where it comes from.
- 6:44SPEAKER_01: It's it's inspired by the enemy, and you know, and so I don't want to go into all of that, but I just had um given up everything.
- 6:56SPEAKER_01: The Lord spoke to me in 2019, and we had a beautiful house, we had a beautiful cars, we had a business in healthcare, and my wife Brenda was working 100 hours a week, you know, and then we had a whole team working for us, and I was uh 100 hours a week busy with the ministry, and so and and I did all the administration and things like that for the business, and so we had an amazing business, and we were making good money, you know, but we were always working, working, working, working, and then when we had made enough money to pay the bills for the next month, you know, uh, and to go on a journey, then we went to Brazil or we went to another country and to go and preach the gospel and go out, and we paid for everything ourselves.
- 7:39SPEAKER_01: We were just constantly paying everything ourselves.
- 7:41SPEAKER_01: We had a few partners because in 2016 we started our ministry, and so we had a few partners, but it wasn't enough for what we were doing.
- 7:49SPEAKER_01: And so we also were doing mission trips, and those mission trips brought in a little bit of money, and so we could use it again, you know, to to go out and do like these small things, you know, like a crusade of 100-200 people, you know, 500 people, maybe a thousand, you know.
- 8:02SPEAKER_01: And and so we were doing what we could do and giving away those food parcels.
- 8:08SPEAKER_01: Now, just for you to understand that we started to give away a hundred food parcels, and now we give away 50,000 food parcels a year, you know, and sometimes even more, or other stuff what people need.
- 8:19SPEAKER_01: And so, but you know, we started that, and um, in 2019, you know, the Lord spoke to my heart and he told me, What is the deepest desire of your heart but you don't see become manifest in your life yet?
- 8:34SPEAKER_01: And I said immediately, I said, God, I want to go and do what you called me to do.
- 8:40SPEAKER_01: I want to go all over the world, preach the gospel of the kingdom of God, win source for Jesus, make disciples, and use any means necessary to do that what you called me to do.
- 8:54SPEAKER_01: And I don't want to think on whether I can pay it or I cannot pay it.
- 8:59SPEAKER_01: I don't want to think on Lord, can I pay for this?
- 9:02SPEAKER_01: Is it possible that I can go and do this?
- 9:04SPEAKER_01: I just want to do it and not worry whether the bill is gonna be paid, yes or no.
- 9:09SPEAKER_01: And the Lord said something to me, man, that I completely like I was like, what?
- 9:15SPEAKER_01: You know, He told me, give everything up, give it away to the poor, and come then and follow me.
- 9:23SPEAKER_01: Now, when I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior in prison in 2005, I had a few million left, you know, in my business, from my business, and a lot of possession and jewels and other kind of stuff, and I had a huge villa with swimming pool, I had all that stuff, right?
- 9:40SPEAKER_01: And so I accepted Jesus, and then I felt in my heart that I need to get rid of that money because that was not money that God has given me.
- 9:47SPEAKER_01: It came from darkness, and I didn't want to have that money anymore because that money never made me happy.
- 9:52SPEAKER_01: And so I started to give away everything I had.
- 9:55SPEAKER_01: I started to help a lot of people in prison and outside of prison, and I mean the money went fast, and we started to give away everything.
- 10:03SPEAKER_01: And so finally, when I got out of prison, I had no more money.
- 10:06SPEAKER_01: What I had was a debt.
- 10:08SPEAKER_01: I never had a debt in my life, but now I had a debt, I mean financial debt.
- 10:13SPEAKER_01: And so we had a debt from taxes that they charged us because of what we did in the past, and then we also had uh uh consum consuming uh debt, consumers' debt, you know, like you know, buying stuff on down payments or how you call that monthly installments, which you should never ever do if you do that.
- 10:34SPEAKER_01: Stop it.
- 10:35SPEAKER_01: And so, but nevertheless, I had a lot of debt.
- 10:38SPEAKER_01: I was like a quarter of a million, which was a lot of money for me.
- 10:41SPEAKER_01: When you have no money, a quarter of a million is a lot of money, and so I didn't know how to get out of that.
- 10:46SPEAKER_01: And so uh the Lord showed me a lot of principles about this kingdom, and I'm teaching on that also.
- 10:51SPEAKER_01: I wrote a book about it called uh True Prosperity, the joy of giving.
- 10:55SPEAKER_01: And so the Lord showed me a lot of principles, I started to apply those principles, he got me out of debt, and then he got me into uh debit, you know, with credit.
- 11:03SPEAKER_01: I I started to make money and started to make good money, and we started to be really, really blessed.
- 11:08SPEAKER_01: And so we had now again money, not millions, but we had a lot of money.
- 11:12SPEAKER_01: We were making a lot of money, and we had a beautiful house and beautiful stuff and everything restored.
- 11:17SPEAKER_01: But I wasn't happy, you know.
- 11:19SPEAKER_01: I just I just wasn't happy because I felt that I didn't do what God called me to do.
- 11:25SPEAKER_01: I did it, but sporadically, you know, just go and come back, work, go and come back and work, go and come back and work.
- 11:31SPEAKER_01: And so that wasn't like so, and then the Lord told me to give that all away.
- 11:36SPEAKER_01: Give it away to the poor and come then and follow me.
- 11:38SPEAKER_01: I I already gave everything away and followed him, remember?
- 11:41SPEAKER_01: And now he told again to me, he said, now if you want to live that life, that is the deepest desire of your heart, then you need to give up everything you have, give it to the poor, and come again and follow me.
- 11:53SPEAKER_01: So I told Brenda, my wife, I said, Brenda, what would happen you know, if we give everything away that we have here?
- 12:02SPEAKER_01: We just do everything or we just do it away.
- 12:03SPEAKER_01: We sell it, we give it away, whatever.
- 12:05SPEAKER_01: We we don't we stop with everything, business, everything.
- 12:09SPEAKER_01: I said, because I feel that the Lord is asking this of me.
- 12:12SPEAKER_01: And she told me, Well, if God said it, then you need to do it.
- 12:16SPEAKER_01: I love my wife, she is so good, you know, and so she is not complicated at all and all that kind of stuff.
- 12:22SPEAKER_01: And so we decided to do that, but we tested it if it really was from the Lord, and so we said, you know, Lord, you know, uh, we want to go two months to Brazil, that was in the middle of uh 20 20 2019.
- 12:36SPEAKER_01: Uh I said we want to go two months, but we don't want to work to make the money and to pay for the bills.
- 12:40SPEAKER_01: So if you really want us to give up everything, then you send somebody that paid the bills for us for these two months, so we were able to go for two months, then I know it's from you.
- 12:49SPEAKER_01: Bam! The next day somebody stands in front of my house and says, Man, the Lord spoke to me, then I need to pay two months of your bills.
- 12:56SPEAKER_01: And so he said, All right, this is from the Lord.
- 12:58SPEAKER_01: And so this guy took care of those two months of all our um costs, and so we had no worries about paying the bills, and so we were free to go for two months to Brazil.
- 13:10SPEAKER_01: When I went to Brazil, in Brazil, the Lord started to speak to me.
- 13:13SPEAKER_01: He said that I was I was going to build a mission house.
- 13:16SPEAKER_01: We already do a lot of mission trips on this project, but we didn't have that real mission house, the vision that I had.
- 13:21SPEAKER_01: He said, You're gonna build a mission house here.
- 13:23SPEAKER_01: I'm not gonna give you all this territory here, and you're gonna build this project where you're gonna receive a lot of teams, and you're gonna do a lot of crusades, and you're gonna do all this kind of stuff, you know, and it's gonna be huge, you know.
- 13:34SPEAKER_01: And the Lord, so the Lord spoke that to me.
- 13:36SPEAKER_01: And so I knew that that was, you know, that I was going into a new season with God.
- 13:40SPEAKER_01: I was already doing a lot, but now I'm really gonna do a lot.
- 13:44SPEAKER_01: And so we got back to Holland and we just started to do everything away.
- 13:48SPEAKER_01: We started to sell our stuff and give it away, sell our stuff and give it away, sell our stuff and give it away.
- 13:53SPEAKER_01: And so in the beginning of 2020, we traveled in February.
- 13:57SPEAKER_01: We traveled to Brazil.
- 13:59SPEAKER_01: We first went to Colombia and from Colombia went to Brazil, and then we were in Brazil on this project that you know were there were just a few ruins here.
- 14:06SPEAKER_01: We received some teams, but we all stayed in one place, you know, it was like terrible poor, but still we did a lot of amazing things.
- 14:13SPEAKER_01: And we were there, and we were about to receive uh mission teams from the UK, from the Netherlands, and even I believe from the states, and um they were all cancelled because of COVID.
- 14:27SPEAKER_01: And so there was nothing, there was no income, there was no money, there was nothing.
- 14:31SPEAKER_01: And uh and the Lord spoke to me, and there was a lockdown.
- 14:35SPEAKER_01: There was a lockdown everywhere.
- 14:36SPEAKER_01: We couldn't go back to the Netherlands, you know, we were stuck in Brazil, and you know, it was really bad.
- 14:40SPEAKER_01: And so the Lord spoke to me and he said, I want you to give a crusade in a favela, in a slum in Brazil, and I want you to give away 5,000 food parcels to bless them.
- 14:56SPEAKER_01: Now, there are a few things that we need to take, you know, in consideration.
- 15:04SPEAKER_01: First of all, there is there is a lockdown.
- 15:07SPEAKER_01: You are not allowed to come together with three people or they'll arrest you, you know.
- 15:12SPEAKER_01: Second of all, you know, I am in a country that prison isn't nice.
- 15:17SPEAKER_01: I don't care to go to prison for Jesus, but you know, Brazil is not a nice place to go to prison.
- 15:22SPEAKER_01: I don't want to become anybody's girlfriend.
- 15:25SPEAKER_01: And so, and then third of all, I don't have money to buy 5,000 food parcels because I already have given away everything.
- 15:35SPEAKER_01: I have no house, no possession, no business, no income, no money.
- 15:40SPEAKER_01: I got nothing.
- 15:41SPEAKER_01: And you want me to give away 5,000 food parcels?
- 15:43SPEAKER_01: And then who is gonna help me to organize that?
- 15:45SPEAKER_01: Because I can do that by myself, and nobody's crazy enough now in this time to go and do that.
- 15:50SPEAKER_01: You know, so there are a lot of things in the natural why I shouldn't be able to do that.
- 15:55SPEAKER_01: And in the same time, the Lord spoke to me that I should start to build my project.
- 15:58SPEAKER_01: That's a different testimony, but I built the project without money, in faith, you know, and it's really beautiful what we have done here in Brazil.
- 16:05SPEAKER_01: And so, you know, to receive all those teams, we just started building in faith.
- 16:09SPEAKER_01: But that whole year of 2020, you know, everybody knows it was a terrible, terrible year in the history, you know, of the world.
- 16:16SPEAKER_01: And so um, I started to tell everybody that I'm gonna do this crusade.
- 16:22SPEAKER_01: And everybody told me, Did you are crazy?
- 16:23SPEAKER_01: I said, No, the Lord spoke to me in John 14, 12.
- 16:26SPEAKER_01: He says, you know, that uh he who believes in me will do the works that I do also, and greater works than these.
- 16:33SPEAKER_01: Jesus gave 5,000 food, bread, and fish.
- 16:38SPEAKER_01: And so greater works would be that 5,000 at least, and give them food parcels.
- 16:43SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 16:44SPEAKER_01: So it was the greater works, and then the Lord spoke to me, greater works.
- 16:47SPEAKER_01: This is going to be your year of the greater works.
- 16:49SPEAKER_01: So 2020 was the year of greater works.
- 16:51SPEAKER_01: We started to build the project with no money in faith.
- 16:55SPEAKER_01: We had given up everything and we started to build with no money.
- 16:59SPEAKER_01: I went to a market to a construction place, or placed my order while he was putting the order in the system, you know, before he came to the end number that I needed to pay.
- 17:11SPEAKER_01: Brenda still told me you can still run away.
- 17:13SPEAKER_01: You know, we had no money.
- 17:15SPEAKER_01: And somebody called me and they said, Hey, what are you doing?
- 17:17SPEAKER_01: I said, I'm doing this, this, this.
- 17:18SPEAKER_01: He says, I'm gonna put it on the account of your ministry, and I could pay the bill.
- 17:22SPEAKER_01: And we had the stuff to start building the little first steps, and we just continued building for five years, and we have an amazing debt-free project here built for the kingdom of God to receive these teams from all over the world, man.
- 17:33SPEAKER_01: It's amazing.
- 17:33SPEAKER_01: But nevertheless, so that was great greater works, you know, to do something like that, just to trust God for my provision, you know, and that's what he said: give up everything and follow me, and I will take care of you.
- 17:44SPEAKER_01: I am your source.
- 17:45SPEAKER_01: And so the Lord started to do all that.
- 17:47SPEAKER_01: But in the meantime, I'm telling everybody I'm gonna do this crusade.
- 17:50SPEAKER_01: But that is something public, and they can put you in prison to do that, you know, because it was illegal to even join a few people together because of the lockdowns, because of COVID.
- 18:01SPEAKER_01: And they said it was irresponsible, you know, it was against human uh I don't know, whatever they call that.
- 18:07SPEAKER_01: And so, you know, it was really, really tough.
- 18:09SPEAKER_01: And so nobody wanted to do that.
- 18:11SPEAKER_01: Nobody wanted to do that.
- 18:14SPEAKER_01: And so we come here now, it's October, you know, and I'm still telling everybody I'm gonna do this festival, and every everywhere I bumped my nose.
- 18:21SPEAKER_01: And then one day, the beginning of November, I entered into a favela, and I met this uh gangster.
- 18:30SPEAKER_01: He was 25 years in prison, you know, and he is he was a leader of a gang.
- 18:35SPEAKER_01: I'm not gonna tell names and things like that, but he was a leader of a gang, and it's a huge gang all over the country, and he was just from that fraction of his block.
- 18:44SPEAKER_01: And so he had a whole gang around him, and they had this place where they were torturing and beating people up and things like that, just to keep control over the over the area.
- 18:53SPEAKER_01: And I met this guy, and they were doing like a lot of crazy stuff.
- 18:57SPEAKER_01: And I met him and he told me, he said, Listen, you see that field down there?
- 19:01SPEAKER_01: We can cut those things, clean it up a little bit, and you can give your festival if you want.
- 19:06SPEAKER_01: He said, Nobody's gonna come here.
- 19:07SPEAKER_01: There's no cop that dares to come into this uh community, this uh favela, nobody.
- 19:13SPEAKER_01: Well, I said, Well, you know, that's amazing, but let me just check, you know, with them also because I don't want to go to prison, I need to have a license to do that.
- 19:20SPEAKER_01: And so I went to the military police and I told them, listen, I want to go into that favela, I want to do this event.
- 19:25SPEAKER_01: Uh are you guys, you know, letting me do that?
- 19:28SPEAKER_01: And they said, Yes, definitely we're gonna let you do that.
- 19:30SPEAKER_01: If we can help you, if we can be there for protection.
- 19:34SPEAKER_01: And I said, Well, let me talk to the guy again.
- 19:36SPEAKER_01: And then I talked to the leader, and the leader said, Well, normally no police comes inside here, but if it's for the festival, you can let them come.
- 19:42SPEAKER_01: And so I went back to them, I said, You can be there, and you know, to to be in the area, don't have to protect me because I'm safe, but you can, you know, just make sure that nothing goes out of hand, you know.
- 19:51SPEAKER_01: And so they gave me the license, like in like within a day.
- 19:54SPEAKER_01: Everybody told me that I was crazy, but then they gave me the license.
- 19:57SPEAKER_01: I had a place, I had the license, now I needed five more five thousand food parcels, you know, and so I was sharing this with people online, and bam, the money came for the 5,000 food parcels, and then bam, I had people to come to do some singing, you know, and the stage came and everything came, and volunteers.
- 20:13SPEAKER_01: People just they didn't care anymore, they just believed that this is all from the Lord, you know, and so we did this in this community, and thousands and thousands and thousands of people from out of the community came to that field altogether.
- 20:24SPEAKER_01: Nobody got sick, but a lot of people got healed, hallelujah.
- 20:27SPEAKER_01: And thousands of people accepted Jesus as the Lord and Savior, and we gave away 5,000 food parcels.
- 20:32SPEAKER_01: Greater works, hallelujah.
- 20:34SPEAKER_01: And so, you know, I see that system that God has given me to draw those people for the kingdom of God, and it doesn't matter how much it costs.
- 20:43SPEAKER_01: Again, you know, Jesus paid us with his precious blood.
- 20:47SPEAKER_01: And you think that he cares about whether we're gonna have to spend ten dollars to get one person in front of our stage, you know, if it costs five, fifty dollars or$100, he doesn't care about that.
- 20:58SPEAKER_01: He gladly pays the bill because he already paid the biggest bill, and that was his own life and his precious blood.
- 21:03SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 21:04SPEAKER_01: And so he doesn't really care on that, you know.
- 21:07SPEAKER_01: He doesn't care for that.
- 21:08SPEAKER_01: If he builds the house, he will give me the means.
- 21:10SPEAKER_01: And so he doesn't want anyone to perish, but all come to repentance.
- 21:15SPEAKER_01: And so money is not an issue for God.
- 21:17SPEAKER_01: He just says go, and if you go, then he will provide.
- 21:20SPEAKER_01: That's what I believe.
- 21:21SPEAKER_01: So I don't know to who I am sharing this right now, but you know, if you feel that you can make a difference, you know, within your neighborhood, maybe you know, in your uh sport or your hobbies or your job or whatever, you can make a difference, but you you have a lack of means, just stand up and say, I'm gonna do it, and God will provide for you.
- 21:40SPEAKER_01: If the Lord laid something on your heart, he will provide for whatever you need to do what God called you to do.
- 21:46SPEAKER_01: And we are all called to go and preach the gospel.
- 21:48SPEAKER_01: And you can go to the homeless in your neighborhood, in your area, you know, your city, you can go to those people that are addicted and afflicted, you can go to the brokenhearted, you know, there's a lot of places.
- 22:00SPEAKER_01: Where you can go and just bring them something, can be small, can be a sandwich, you know, peanut butter, jelly.
- 22:06SPEAKER_01: You can make it yourself, you know, and you just can go there.
- 22:09SPEAKER_01: The very first time when I went out, you know, to the homeless, I brought I made little bags, you know, with like a toothbrush, toothpaste, you know, deodorant, you know, a little bit of shampoo and things like that.
- 22:22SPEAKER_01: Put a little card in there, John 3.16, God loves you.
- 22:25SPEAKER_01: You know, and I just went there and just brought all these shopping bags with me, you know, and just start to hand out all those bags and share the gospel with them, win them over for Jesus.
- 22:33SPEAKER_01: Man, how many times I didn't go back home barefooted in the freezing cold because they didn't have shoes, so I gave mine.
- 22:39SPEAKER_01: You know, you have always something to give.
- 22:41SPEAKER_01: You can always do something to give them and then get their attention and then preach the gospel to them.
- 22:47SPEAKER_01: And so, what I'm just trying to say is that you know, there is a need for soul winning, and there is a lot of ways that we can effectively reach those people, and that is that you will never go empty-handed, but just go there where their need is and see what you can do to make a difference in their lives.
- 23:06SPEAKER_01: And then, you know, when you truly listen to the voice of God and you truly trust him and believe him, he can do the impossible in your life.
- 23:14SPEAKER_01: You can really make a huge impact and a huge difference as a child of God and a disciple of King Jesus.
- 23:21SPEAKER_01: You don't have to be this special evangelist somewhere on the stage.
- 23:24SPEAKER_01: He God calls all of us to walk out the Great Commission and to preach the gospel and to bear fruits for the kingdom of God.
- 23:31SPEAKER_01: You know, Jesus was winning a lot of people, we need to win a lot of people.
- 23:35SPEAKER_01: Jesus left the 99 for the one.
- 23:37SPEAKER_01: We need to leave everything that we have for the one.
- 23:39SPEAKER_01: You know, whether we're going to win one person for Jesus or we're gonna get win thousands for him, as long as we are bearing fruit, as long as we are winning people for Jesus and disciple them to do and to go and do the same.
- 23:51SPEAKER_01: And so everybody is a potential child of the living God.
- 23:55SPEAKER_01: Every person is worth dying for, you know, because Jesus died for the whole world so that no one would perish, but it all should come to repentance.
- 24:02SPEAKER_01: And so, man, I've got so much to share, you know, but there is a real need for soul winning, a real need for soul winning.
- 24:11SPEAKER_01: You know, I just want to keep this, then I won't conclude it because I can keep going, talking, talking, you know, and I just want to-I already made my point.
- 24:18SPEAKER_01: There is a need for soul winning, and you can fulfill that need by rising up and do what God called you to do.
- 24:24SPEAKER_01: To be a light in the world, soul of the earth, preach the gospel, the kingdom, to heal the sick and cleanse lepers and raise the dead, and you never go empty-handed, you know, but at least bring them a smaller hug, you know, and tell them that how much God loves and show them however you can.
- 24:38SPEAKER_01: Genesis 22, 16 and 17, God said, By myself I have sworn, saying the Lord, because you have done this thing and have not withheld your son, your only son, blessing, I will bless you, and multiplying, I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and the sand which is on the seashore, and your descendants shall possess the gates of their enemies.
- 24:59SPEAKER_01: I made a promise to the Lord one day.
- 25:02SPEAKER_01: I said, Because you have done this, and you did not withhold your son, your only son for me, but gave him up for me and for the whole world.
- 25:09SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna preach the gospel to people all over the world as sand grains on the beach.
- 25:16SPEAKER_01: You know, if it comes, if it comes to me, if it depends on me, I'm gonna preach the gospel all over the world and win as many people as possible for your kingdom because you gave your son for me.
- 25:26SPEAKER_01: You cannot stay silent if you had an encounter with Jesus.
- 25:33SPEAKER_01: You need to shout it from the rooftops.
- 25:35SPEAKER_01: It is the gospel that saves, it's the power of God until salvation.
- 25:40SPEAKER_01: Do not be ashamed of the gospel.
- 25:42SPEAKER_01: Go and preach the gospel and teach those who don't know the things that Jesus has taught us and baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
- 25:51SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 25:52SPEAKER_01: Man, my time is up again, but I just want to close this.
- 25:57SPEAKER_01: Father God, thank you so much for my brothers and my sisters.
- 26:00SPEAKER_01: Thank you that they have stuck around in this gospel, one gospel episode concerning effective evangelism, where I could share my own personal process that I've been through.
- 26:11SPEAKER_01: And Father, also that we can give them the tools and the equipment for them to go out and be effective also when they go out to evangelize the people that they encounter in this world.
- 26:21SPEAKER_01: Father, thank you that you would reveal to them the emergency, the urgency, the need for winning souls.
- 26:27SPEAKER_01: That that's the whole reason why Jesus came.
- 26:30SPEAKER_01: And then also give them the tools, Father, that they can do that effectively.
- 26:35SPEAKER_01: Thank you for all my brothers and my sisters.
- 26:37SPEAKER_01: I pray in the name of Jesus that this anointing of winning souls and that this that this fire, this passion of winning souls will be lit up in your hearts, and that you will be empowered by the Holy Spirit to go out and be the light and be the soul that you're called to be in the name of Jesus, and that God will give you wisdom and concepts and new ways for you to effectively reach those in darkness, especially with the love and the compassion of our Lord King Jesus.
- 27:06SPEAKER_01: Thank you so much, Father, for all my brothers and my sisters, that you started a process in them to prepare them for the work of ministry, to win souls and disciple them for your kingdom.
- 27:16SPEAKER_01: I give you all the praise in the name of Jesus.
