Transcript
- 0:01SPEAKER_00: Welcome to One Gospel, bringing you the full truth of God's Word, clearly explained.
- 0:07SPEAKER_00: Together with our host, Johann Toit, 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.
- 0:29SPEAKER_01: I have started this study teaching called effective evangelism, and I've been covering a lot of stuff.
- 0:36SPEAKER_01: I've been covering on how there is a need for soul winning because without souls we don't have disciples, and without disciples, we cannot build a church.
- 0:44SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 0:45SPEAKER_01: And uh man, I've used a lot of personal testimony on my personal journey as an evangelist, and how I found better ways and more effective ways to reach the unreached, and so that we could win as many souls as possible in the shortest time as possible, make disciples out of them, and then send them into the world and go and do exactly the same.
- 1:06SPEAKER_01: And uh man, I was sharing about the preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and so that's not a gospel of hell and condemnation, turn or burn, but it's a gospel of love and peace, the finished work of Jesus Christ at the cross, but also that we are being saved through grace by faith and not our of our own, so that no one can boast that Jesus is the only way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father but by Him.
- 1:33SPEAKER_01: And so I've shared a lot on that also, and man, it really got me fired up.
- 1:38SPEAKER_01: We have mission teams uh from all over the world, and at this moment we have a team from the Netherlands here with us in Brazil, and they go out every day on street evangelism.
- 1:47SPEAKER_01: And today they went out with a truck to share the gospel to a few hundred people in a nice little area where they're gonna apply these tools that I'm applying in my ministry that I'm teaching others to do also.
- 2:01SPEAKER_01: And I've been kickstarting them since the first day they got here, and I shared them how they can pray effectively and how can they how they can reach the people effectively, and you know, uh gave them some tools and equipped them based on the word of God, and then uh they went out and got back, and they got so much success.
- 2:19SPEAKER_01: They said, Man, I got people saved, and then I've got people healed, and I've got people filled with the Holy Spirit, and they were super excited, and so today they're out with the gospel truck.
- 2:27SPEAKER_01: And man, I wish I could come with them today, but uh I've got other obligations uh as uh recording these um videos for you guys, so I can equip you also, and you can go also, and you also can make an impact for the kingdom of God in the most effective way you can imagine.
- 2:43SPEAKER_01: And that's my heart, that's our heartbeat of the one gospel uh broadcast that we can equip you and to make you ready for the work of ministry, amen.
- 2:53SPEAKER_01: And so that's what the One and E Foundation is all about.
- 2:55SPEAKER_01: And so, before I'm going to continue in the study of today, I just wanted to uh mention that I have these study guides.
- 3:02SPEAKER_01: This is uh one basics one, and then of course, I've got one basics two, and so these study guides, man, these are really powerful.
- 3:11SPEAKER_01: You can use this as tools to disciple other people, to new believers, but also to people that already go many years to church but have no idea who their true what their true identity and authority is in Christ Jesus.
- 3:23SPEAKER_01: And I'm covering a lot of stuff, and it's called basics because I'm just touching the basics, um, which is the strength of our ministry.
- 3:31SPEAKER_01: And I really believe that uh every Christian should know this, every disciple of Jesus should know these truths here, and it gives you this sure foundation on what you can build your personal relationship with Jesus and how you can be, you know, uh fruitful in your walk with the Lord.
- 3:47SPEAKER_01: And so you can download these for free, but you can also order the physical copies, and then you have to pay for mailing costs.
- 3:54SPEAKER_01: But the the guide itself is completely free, and so um I really believe it's gonna be a blessing for you.
- 4:00SPEAKER_01: We have a lot of groups, teams, um, home groups and church teams and groups all over the world that are using these study guides to uh disciple people, and man, it's very effective, and so I really want to encourage you to get that.
- 4:14SPEAKER_01: Um, Father God, thank you for this teaching today, and thank you uh for your word, Lord, and that I pray that people will be touched, will be fired up, and they will be set into their uh destination, Lord, to be a soul winner for the kingdom of God, each in his own way and own anointing.
- 4:32SPEAKER_01: Thank you so much, Father, in the name of Jesus.
- 4:35SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 4:36SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 4:37SPEAKER_01: Man, I don't know, I've got so much to share on uh effective evangelism, and you know, uh as I said, I've been covering, you know, the need for soul winning, and you know, I've been sharing my personal testimony, and then I've been sharing on how we need to preach the gospel of the kingdom of God.
- 4:54SPEAKER_01: And you know, um many people might think that this is only for those who are called into ministry, that there are just, you know, there are people that are called into ministry and they need to do all these things that are written in the Bible, you know, and then that's just for the special ones.
- 5:10SPEAKER_01: But that's not true.
- 5:12SPEAKER_01: It's for you and it is for me.
- 5:14SPEAKER_01: It's the great commission that He gave us, you know, to go into all the world to make disciples.
- 5:19SPEAKER_01: And to make a disciple first you need to make a convert.
- 5:21SPEAKER_01: And so we need we make a convert and then we take the convert and we're gonna disciple him.
- 5:25SPEAKER_01: And if we are not able to disciple them ourselves, then we need to uh bring them to people that can disciple them.
- 5:33SPEAKER_01: But I believe that if you're gonna get the tools that I'm trying to share with you, you're not only gonna become a soul winner, but you're also gonna become a person that starts discipling other people.
- 5:43SPEAKER_01: Now, if you talk about effective evangelism, the two ways that are effective is the multitudes.
- 5:52SPEAKER_01: If you're talking about many converts at the same time, and so I've been sharing a lot on how we do it, and we truly see that people are very genuine when they accept Jesus as the Lord and Savior, because these people never went to church, they hear the gospel, most of them, maybe for the very first time, the true gospel of the kingdom of God, and they come so I mean immersed in emotions, they're truly touched by the Holy Spirit, and they come to receive Jesus.
- 6:18SPEAKER_01: I'm I'm teaching them on that moment how they need to do that, and so even if half of them would be genuine, man, that would be an amazing harvest.
- 6:27SPEAKER_01: Each, you know, every thousand people that come to our events, 80% of them accept Jesus.
- 6:33SPEAKER_01: So you're talking about 800 people on the thousand, and we have events 10,000, 20,000, but also 50 or 100,000, and so and these add up really fast.
- 6:43SPEAKER_01: But even if that 800 people on the thousand, you know, even if half of them would be genuine, even if a quarter of them would be genuine, you know, like really repenting in their hearts and confessing with their mouths and become a born-again Christian, a son of God, you know, then you still are talking about 200 people on the thousand.
- 7:01SPEAKER_01: So 10,000 is 2,000 people that accept Jesus as the Lord and Savior.
- 7:04SPEAKER_01: Genuine, I'm talking about.
- 7:06SPEAKER_01: I don't know how many because God only knows, and it's also not important.
- 7:10SPEAKER_01: I just say that we do make a difference with our open-air crusades because you know, it's not like we let somebody say something after us.
- 7:18SPEAKER_01: Just say this little prayer with us, and then you are saved, and we're gonna give you a food parcel, we're gonna give you a motorcycle, and then you'll be blessed.
- 7:24SPEAKER_01: No, that's not what we do.
- 7:26SPEAKER_01: We are really preaching them the gospel of the kingdom of God, the good news of the gospel of the kingdom of God.
- 7:31SPEAKER_01: We explain them how they can get saved and why they need to get saved, and then we explain them what they need to do, what their part is, the repentance part.
- 7:41SPEAKER_01: We are very clear on it, and we are very clear on believing in your heart and confessing with your mouth, and it's not my words, but the words that you are gonna say with your mouth that you truly got to believe in your heart.
- 7:52SPEAKER_01: And then we after that we immediately pray for them for the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
- 7:56SPEAKER_01: And I can tell you that, man, it's unbelievable how many people, and I'm I'm not gonna go into all of that, but I just want to say that you know, uh, there are so many people touched by the Holy Spirit when we pray for the fulfillment of the Holy Spirit, the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
- 8:11SPEAKER_01: And I mean, hundreds and hundreds of people just fall, you know, when I pray for them in the middle of the crowd.
- 8:17SPEAKER_01: We're talking about crowds of thousands and thousands of people, and I'm just walking around there, laying my hands on the people to baptize them in the Holy Spirit.
- 8:25SPEAKER_01: And each, you know, and I mean, so many people, you know, like each one, you know, dam, bam, bam, bam, bam, you know, they just fall in the spirit and they're just talking to starting to talk in new tongues, you know, and it's like unbelievable how people are going to be set free.
- 8:40SPEAKER_01: Then I've got so many testimonies, it's way too much to share.
- 8:43SPEAKER_01: But I just say that we see that it's truly genuine what happens on these festivals, and so you know, um, that's one effective way.
- 8:51SPEAKER_01: But then the other effective way, which I believe, if you are not called to be an evangelist to stand on the stage, you know, and to preach to the crowd, you know, that the other most effective way that we can have is when we one-on-one lead people to the Lord.
- 9:07SPEAKER_01: Now, what do I mean by that?
- 9:10SPEAKER_01: Well, just what I said, one-on-one lead them to the Lord.
- 9:12SPEAKER_01: That means that you and I, as disciples of Jesus, followers of Jesus, that you and I should take, you know, time to try to reach people with the good news of the gospel of the kingdom through our own personal testimony, to our you know, our lives, the way that we live, to be a light in the world and a soul on the earth, you know, to get the attention of the people who are in darkness, our lost brothers and sisters in darkness.
- 9:41SPEAKER_01: And if those people, if you get their attention, and you can get them to the point where they understand and see that they need they are in need of salvation, that they need a savior, and that they are convinced in their hearts that it is Jesus that they need in their lives, and you get them to the point where they repent and they confess Jesus as their Lord and Savior, and you got them filled with the Holy Spirit, then the best thing you could do for that person is to walk along for a little while.
- 10:10SPEAKER_01: And therefore, these one basic study guides I have been making, I have created, uh, you know, that you can, you know, take that person and say, Listen, you know, why wouldn't you come like you know for a few weeks, you know, uh, or for once a week, you know, for a little while, you know, come to visit me, or I come to visit you, you know, can invite other people if you want, you know, and I'm just gonna share and I'm gonna teach you what happened when you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
- 10:40SPEAKER_01: And you start to explain them bit by bit, you know, the ABC of the gospel, how they got into the fullness, and then sorry, how they got into the fullness, and then how you know what it means to be in the fullness and how they can walk that out themselves in their lives, and then that person, because he's he's got taught, he's got taught immediately from the beginning, the right way, then that person will start to rise up and start to do exactly what you have been teaching him to do, and he will be very successful and will multiply himself and make new disciples.
- 11:13SPEAKER_01: Now, if you got somebody that comes from a church background, somebody that has you know been grow has grown up with a religious mindset, you know, under a lot of legalism, you know, or traditional church going and all that kind of stuff, you know, it's very difficult to get that person immediately to accept everything that you say.
- 11:34SPEAKER_01: I mean, if I can take the difference between a non-believer and a believer, the non-believer, if I teach him the right way immediately from the beginning, there is no shadow of a doubt in his mind that this, you know, maybe it is, maybe it isn't, maybe God wants, maybe God doesn't want, you know, maybe I'm safe, maybe I'm not safe, maybe God wants to do this through me, maybe there is not that that is not in his mind because he's not been taught religion, he has been taught the truth.
- 11:59SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 12:00SPEAKER_01: And so if I have people that come out of the darkness, I mean we have a lot of ex-criminals, ex-addicts, you know, and men, all kinds of layers of the of the society, you know, from very well until very bad.
- 12:16SPEAKER_01: But those people, you know, that come out of the world and out of the darkness, you know, and straight into the kingdom of God and have no religious background whatsoever, those people become the strongest and the most fired up disciples of Jesus that I have seen in my life with the Lord.
- 12:32SPEAKER_01: And so, you know, they are they are drinking it in, and so if you teach them immediately the right way, repent, be baptized, be baptized with the Holy Spirit, you got authority.
- 12:42SPEAKER_01: This is your identity, this is your authority, and this is the way that you apply it.
- 12:46SPEAKER_01: Let's go and do it, and bam! And these guys are on fire.
- 12:49SPEAKER_01: Now, if you take somebody that's coming from a religious background, you got all these things that you know blocking, you know, to for him to drink in or to take in these truths about his identity and authority in Christ Jesus.
- 13:05SPEAKER_01: It's not impossible because I've got a lot of friends that come from religious backgrounds and they're on fire for Jesus now.
- 13:11SPEAKER_01: But there is always still that little voice in the back that says, Well, you know, it's very complicated.
- 13:16SPEAKER_01: But nevertheless, both of them are worth to put our time in, amen.
- 13:20SPEAKER_01: And so, what I just wanted to say to you is that, you know, effective evangelism, you know, yes, we have, you know, the evangelist that stands on stage and goes out and does the scrusades and all this kind of stuff, you know, or you have the evangelist that goes out with his church, you know, and uh does outreach street evangelism, you know, and all that kind of stuff.
- 13:37SPEAKER_01: All amazing and absolutely needed, because they are the examples to teach us.
- 13:43SPEAKER_01: But please don't think then you are not needed.
- 13:47SPEAKER_01: You are more needed than all of them.
- 13:49SPEAKER_01: And I don't say that in a bad way, but if each and every person in the body of Christ would rise up, win souls for Jesus one-on-one in their normal daily life, and make disciples out of those people, then you will multiply at such a rate that before you know, this whole world has been reached with the good news of the gospel, and Jesus can come back in all of his glory.
- 14:12SPEAKER_01: Hallelujah.
- 14:13SPEAKER_01: And so you are important and you have this great commission that God gave you.
- 14:18SPEAKER_01: And man, I'm telling you, please don't think, you know, oh, you know, it's that I don't need to do that.
- 14:24SPEAKER_01: Yes, each and every born-again Christian should be a soul winner and should be a person that makes disciples.
- 14:31SPEAKER_01: And I want to help you how, and I want to give you the tools.
- 14:34SPEAKER_01: I want you to understand that you can make a difference by who you are as a child of the living God.
- 14:39SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 14:40SPEAKER_01: Man, I just felt led by the Holy Spirit to share this with you.
- 14:44SPEAKER_01: Now, um, as I said, you know, we have been covering a few points uh like uh the need for soul winning, you know, and also you know, some concepts that the Lord gave me to reach the unreached, and then also we have shared on uh how we need to preach the gospel of the kingdom, and today I want to show you that when we preach the gospel of the kingdom, you know, um this automatically will be followed by signs and wonders.
- 15:10SPEAKER_01: And so let's see what it says in Mark 16.
- 15:15SPEAKER_01: And um, you know, this is this uh I I teach a lot on this, and um I really believe it's very important for you to hear it over and over and over again for you to finally understand that man, I've got authority, and I know what authority means.
- 15:32SPEAKER_01: I identify myself with who I am in Christ Jesus, I am an ambassador of the kingdom of God.
- 15:38SPEAKER_01: You know, look what it here says in Mark 16, verse 20.
- 15:42SPEAKER_01: And so and they went out and preached everywhere.
- 15:48SPEAKER_01: Now that means that they were just constantly aware and focused on the calling that God placed upon their lives, that is to be a witness to all the nations, that is to go out and to preach the gospel of the kingdom, to share on Jesus with anybody that they encountered, and we all are called to do that.
- 16:07SPEAKER_01: All of us are called to do that.
- 16:09SPEAKER_01: That's the Great Commission.
- 16:10SPEAKER_01: And so, man, people think that, but should I then just talk to each and every person that I encounter every day and talk about Jesus because then I have no time to get to my job.
- 16:19SPEAKER_01: Even if I encounter 50 people, you know, and I need to talk with all of them before I get to my job, you know, I got a problem, I can't live like that.
- 16:29SPEAKER_01: Well, you know, there are persons that you encounter, people that you encounter during your day, that are being orchestrated by the Holy Spirit.
- 16:41SPEAKER_01: And you are, I don't know, let's say that you go on your bicycle and you go to your work, and you go on your bicycle, and then you know, when you you see somebody else at the stoplights, you know, traffic lights, you stop, he stops, or she stops, you know, you look at each other and says, Man, it's a lovely day today, amen.
- 17:02SPEAKER_01: You know, I mean the sun is shining, you know, there's not too much traffic.
- 17:05SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I know, man.
- 17:06SPEAKER_01: I've got time because normally I'm stuck in all between all the cars, but now I've got more free space.
- 17:12SPEAKER_01: I don't know, I'm just making conversation.
- 17:14SPEAKER_01: And so I start to talk with that person, you know.
- 17:17SPEAKER_01: I can already sew a seed to that person and say, you know, uh, you don't know me and I don't know you, but I just felt to say to you, you know, that God truly loves you and He sees you, He has a plan for you.
- 17:28SPEAKER_01: I don't know what you're going through in life, you know, but God has a hopeful future for you.
- 17:34SPEAKER_01: Jesus loves you so much that He gave His life for you.
- 17:36SPEAKER_01: I just wanted to share that with you before He even went up.
- 17:39SPEAKER_01: That's a seed that you have sown.
- 17:40SPEAKER_01: Maybe people don't receive, maybe people receive, you know, but that's a seed that you have sown.
- 17:45SPEAKER_01: You have just preached the gospel to them in like 30 seconds, you know.
- 17:50SPEAKER_01: And so you're on your way and you continue, and then you say, you know what, let me get a cup of coffee, you know, before I'm getting to the office, right?
- 17:56SPEAKER_01: And so you you park here, you get into the coffee shop and you, you know, uh order your coffee, and the person says, What's your name?
- 18:04SPEAKER_01: My name says, What's it what they put it on the cup and you say, What's your name?
- 18:08SPEAKER_01: And then they say, I don't know, let's say my name is Richard.
- 18:11SPEAKER_01: Hey Richard, you know, you are precious, man.
- 18:13SPEAKER_01: God loves you so much, He gave His only Son for you, hallelujah.
- 18:16SPEAKER_01: I don't know if you're religious or anything like that, but I just want to tell you that God's got a plan for your life, man.
- 18:22SPEAKER_01: He loves you so much, hallelujah.
- 18:24SPEAKER_01: Have a blessed day.
- 18:26SPEAKER_01: Maybe you respond and they say, No, yeah, I do, you know, or what that's you know, uh that's uh funny that you say that, you know, or something like that.
- 18:36SPEAKER_01: You don't know what the reaction is, but it's gonna be good because you are just blessing them.
- 18:41SPEAKER_01: And maybe you get into a conversation and maybe not, but you just said that.
- 18:45SPEAKER_01: And then so that person is blessed, that person is blessed, you know, and you just spoke life over them and tell them that Jesus loved them.
- 18:51SPEAKER_01: That's a seed sowing into their hearts, and then you're gonna just quickly sit at a table in the corner to drink your cup of coffee before you go into the office, and then somebody is sitting next to you.
- 19:01SPEAKER_01: And that person, you know, I don't know, it's just staring outside, and it's like it's not there.
- 19:08SPEAKER_01: And you just say, Amen, you okay?
- 19:10SPEAKER_01: And just get into a conversation, and before you know, you're just sharing the gospel with that person, and who knows you may pray for that person, who knows you can lead that person to the Lord.
- 19:18SPEAKER_01: Who knows it's not that person that God placed you exactly beside, so that you could share the gospel with him or her and lead them to the Lord.
- 19:27SPEAKER_01: And so this is the awareness that you have that you belong to the kingdom of God and that you're an ambassador for the kingdom of God, and then I'm sorry, and then you you know, whenever you you go back on your bicycle, you go to the office, you know, and you just be the light in the world and the soul on the earth, and you know, and maybe you get the chance to talk with a colleague.
- 19:45SPEAKER_01: And when you get the chance to talk with a colleague, don't talk about chit-chat and nothing, don't don't gossip with them or make fun of other people or things like that.
- 19:54SPEAKER_01: Be different, man.
- 19:55SPEAKER_01: I'm not saying that you have to be better, be different, you know, and then that person, that colleague maybe that you're talking with starts to complain about, man, I had such a hard weekend, man.
- 20:06SPEAKER_01: I went through my back, I got so much hurt and my pain in my back, I can hardly sit normally, you know.
- 20:12SPEAKER_01: But I need to, I need to go to work because if I get, you know, if I'm gonna take a leave, they're not gonna pay me, blah blah blah.
- 20:18SPEAKER_01: I don't know, it's just start to complain there.
- 20:20SPEAKER_01: You just say, Man, I don't know, maybe you're not a believer, maybe you're a believer, but I do believe, and you know, if you would allow me, you know, just to pray for you, you know, quickly here in the coffee corner, you know, and maybe says, Well, I don't know, I don't believe in God, no, but I do believe in God, so just let me just quickly pray for you.
- 20:38SPEAKER_01: And then, ma'am, in the name of Jesus, pain go, you know, let them do something they could not do before, and if the pain is uh started to leave or they got healed instantly, or the pain becomes less, or they feel a touch of the Holy Spirit, you know, and they're like, Well, what happened?
- 20:51SPEAKER_01: You just bam, share the gospel with them.
- 20:54SPEAKER_01: You know, just be be on, be on all day.
- 20:58SPEAKER_01: And if people are not willing to receive you, you don't have the time to just share the whole gospel with them.
- 21:04SPEAKER_01: Something like God loves you, I love you, and God loves you too, man.
- 21:08SPEAKER_01: Have an amazing day.
- 21:10SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna see you later.
- 21:11SPEAKER_01: Blessed of the Lord.
- 21:13SPEAKER_01: You know, whatever, you know, just to trigger them, just to see, you know, any reaction or response.
- 21:19SPEAKER_01: You are you are the light of the world and the salt of the earth, and you are an ambassador, man.
- 21:24SPEAKER_01: You're an ambassador.
- 21:25SPEAKER_01: Here it says they went out and preached everywhere.
- 21:28SPEAKER_01: That means what I just shared.
- 21:30SPEAKER_01: It's just, you know, and they they talked with everybody that they could talk with, and they were just doing only that.
- 21:36SPEAKER_01: But I understand if you have your life filled, your agenda filled, you are still encountering people, you still have moments of conversation, you still have meetings, you know, and you can still be the light and share the gospel and preach the gospel to them.
- 21:48SPEAKER_01: Everybody can do that.
- 21:50SPEAKER_01: You have no excuse.
- 21:51SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry, you have no excuse.
- 21:53SPEAKER_01: Now I know that we are not always feel comfortable, you know, and you know, there is no condemnation or judgment, you know, when you walk.
- 22:00SPEAKER_01: In the supermarket, you have got a lot in your mind, you know, and you just get your stuff and get to the register and you want to get home.
- 22:05SPEAKER_01: You know, God doesn't judge you.
- 22:08SPEAKER_01: But when you walk in the supermarket and you see that somebody is even worse than you, just talk with them, man.
- 22:14SPEAKER_01: Just make connection, just say something.
- 22:17SPEAKER_01: Anyway, and they went out, Mark 16 20, and preached everywhere.
- 22:21SPEAKER_01: The Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs.
- 22:27SPEAKER_01: And so, you know, when we go out and preach the gospel of the kingdom, if we share the truth of the gospel of the kingdom, God will accompany that.
- 22:35SPEAKER_01: Accompanying that.
- 22:38SPEAKER_01: I don't know how you say that in English.
- 22:40SPEAKER_01: Accompany that, you know, whatever.
- 22:42SPEAKER_01: God bless me.
- 22:43SPEAKER_01: Have grace and mercy.
- 22:45SPEAKER_01: Hallelujah.
- 22:46SPEAKER_01: What a word.
- 22:47SPEAKER_01: Accompanying signs.
- 22:52SPEAKER_01: God will He will confirm it with signs and wonders.
- 22:55SPEAKER_01: Wherever you go and whatever you do, He will be there with you, confirming it with signs and wonders.
- 23:00SPEAKER_01: Hallelujah.
- 23:01SPEAKER_01: It will follow you.
- 23:02SPEAKER_01: These signs and miracles will follow you.
- 23:06SPEAKER_01: Here it says, and these signs will follow those who believe.
- 23:11SPEAKER_01: And if you are a believer, if you are a disciple of Jesus and you believe and you go out and you share the gospel as a believer, then God will follow you with signs and wonders.
- 23:22SPEAKER_01: Confirm it with signs and wonders when you are sharing the gospel to people.
- 23:26SPEAKER_01: Maybe you get a word of knowledge.
- 23:28SPEAKER_01: Maybe you got a picture for a person, you know.
- 23:31SPEAKER_01: Don't prophesy over them.
- 23:32SPEAKER_01: But just like if you have a word of knowledge of something that they went through that nobody else can know, man, please use it because that's what God wants to use to get their attention, you know.
- 23:41SPEAKER_01: Maybe you just feel to bless somebody, maybe you just feel feel to give somebody a sandwich, you know, or just share your cup of coffee, or whatever, you know, whatever it is.
- 23:49SPEAKER_01: To make connection with the people, to be a light in the world, to make a difference in the day, to be the sunshine in their lives, man, to to give them a smile, a hug, you know, to give them this special attention that that really needed in that moment.
- 24:01SPEAKER_01: And then wham, you can share the gospel and God will confirm it.
- 24:05SPEAKER_01: You are accompanying it with signs and wonders.
- 24:08SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 24:09SPEAKER_01: Hallelujah, man.
- 24:10SPEAKER_01: That's powerful stuff.
- 24:11SPEAKER_01: And I'm telling you, that really can change your life.
- 24:13SPEAKER_01: If you're gonna become aware of who you are in Christ Jesus, if you become aware that you are the light of the world and the salt of the earth, and that God called you to make an impact, that God called you to make a difference, man, that's powerful stuff.
- 24:26SPEAKER_01: And so these signs will follow those who believe in my name, they will cast out demons and they will speak with new tongues, take up serpents and drink any deadly thing, that means coffee.
- 24:36SPEAKER_01: It will by no means hurt them, and they will lay hands on the sick and they will recover.
- 24:41SPEAKER_01: Man, if you know that you are an ambassador of the kingdom, look what it says in 2 Corinthians quickly, because I see that my time is already up.
- 24:53SPEAKER_01: In 2 Corinthians it says that in verse 18, now all things, uh, 2 Corinthians 5, verse 18, all things are of God who has reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ and has given us the ministry of reconciliation.
- 25:09SPEAKER_01: That is, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
- 25:18SPEAKER_01: That's the gospel of the kingdom.
- 25:19SPEAKER_01: Now then we are ambassadors for Christ as though God were pleading through us.
- 25:25SPEAKER_01: We implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God.
- 25:28SPEAKER_01: And so that should be your heartbeat, that should be burning on your heart, that should be your focus when you get out.
- 25:34SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna be the light of the world, I'm gonna be the salt of the earth because I am an ambassador of Christ, I am an ambassador of the kingdom of God, I'm a soldier of the kingdom of God, I'm going into darkness, I'm gonna be the light, I'm gonna share the word of reconciliation, I'm gonna share the gospel of the kingdom, I'm gonna be a witness for the Lord, and then you know, whoever is open and willing to receive, whoever is ready to be harvest, as I'm gonna harvest that person, and then I'm gonna try to disciple him or give him tools to be discipled of directions and help him or her on his way.
- 26:07SPEAKER_01: Man, I'm telling you, that's powerful stuff.
- 26:11SPEAKER_01: Now, I didn't even get into my teaching, but I believe this was very, very important for you to hear.
- 26:17SPEAKER_01: And so I don't know who you are and to who I'm talking today, but man, I'm telling you, God calls you.
- 26:22SPEAKER_01: He calls you to rise up, he calls you to take action, and he calls you to make an impact for the kingdom of God.
- 26:27SPEAKER_01: You can do it because he says that you can do it, and he is not a man that he should lie.
- 26:31SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 26:32SPEAKER_01: And I'm gonna see you hopefully in the next episode.
- 26:34SPEAKER_01: God bless you.
