- 0:23SPEAKER_01: I'm your host, Joan Tut, and as always, I am excited to share the Word of God with you.
- 0:28SPEAKER_01: I've started this series called Heart Matters, and I've been covering a lot of amazing stuff, and I really want to recommend you to go back to the first episode.
- 0:36SPEAKER_01: I've shared on the heart of the gospel, on how believing is a heart matter, you know, and I've been sharing on praying after the heart of the Father or you know, praying with the right heart, because praying is a heart matter also.
- 0:49SPEAKER_01: And man, I've been covering a lot on that, and it was really a blessing.
- 0:54SPEAKER_01: I really want to encourage you to go back to those episodes and watch them.
- 0:59SPEAKER_01: Before I'm gonna continue my prayer today, uh my prayer, before I'm gonna continue my teaching today, I just want to rec uh remind you on the fact that you can get my books all for free and on the link below.
- 1:09SPEAKER_01: You can download them or you can order them as physical copies.
- 1:12SPEAKER_01: Uh you have to pay for mail costs if you would send the order the copies, but the book itself is completely free.
- 1:19SPEAKER_01: And so this book is the God of Restoration.
- 1:21SPEAKER_01: This is a Dutch copy, but I have the English ones as well, and in Portuguese and in Spanish.
- 1:27SPEAKER_01: But this will really, really bless you.
- 1:30SPEAKER_01: And so, you know, it's uh the love story of God and um, you know, how he restored us unto Christ in Christ, you know, unto himself, and uh, I really believe it can bless you, and so it goes really well with heart matters because it's the heart of the Father, amen.
- 1:46SPEAKER_01: And so I want to recommend to that to you.
- 1:48SPEAKER_01: Um, Father God, thank you for this teaching, and I pray that many people will be touched and blessed by it, and I give you all the praise in Jesus' name.
- 1:55SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 1:56SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 1:57SPEAKER_01: So, man, I've been sharing so much on praying after the heart of the Father, and I've shared a personal testimony as well, how God, you know, did something supernatural in my life when I prayed this prayer in John 15, verse 7, where it says that if you invite it, if you abide in me and my words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.
- 2:20SPEAKER_01: And then also in verse 8 it says, By this my father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, so you will be my disciples.
- 2:27SPEAKER_01: And so I was in a very bad situation because I would go back to the Netherlands, you know, in my prison sentence to do my time, the rest of my time in the Netherlands with my family, but they denied it after they uh approved it, they denied it.
- 2:43SPEAKER_01: And so my world was tumbled, was tumbling down, and I didn't know what to do.
- 2:47SPEAKER_01: And I went to my cell and I took my Bible when I heard that bad news that I didn't want to, that I didn't, that I shouldn't go back to the Netherlands.
- 2:55SPEAKER_01: And then I opened the Bible and this verse just came up out of the scriptures, you know, and the Lord just spoke to me.
- 3:02SPEAKER_01: Like if you abide in me and my words abide in you, you can ask whatever you desire.
- 3:06SPEAKER_01: It was like he was telling me, Listen, I am in you, you are in me in me.
- 3:10SPEAKER_01: I know that what you are gonna desire is gonna be in my will.
- 3:13SPEAKER_01: It's in my will for you to be, you know, joined together with your family again.
- 3:17SPEAKER_01: It's in my will you can start a new season in your life.
- 3:21SPEAKER_01: It's in my will that you can be in a safer and better environment in prison in Holland than where you are now.
- 3:27SPEAKER_01: You know, it's in my will for you to be happy.
- 3:30SPEAKER_01: You know, and so I said, Lord, you know, you say you say this in your word, ask what you desire.
- 3:37SPEAKER_01: I desire to go back to the Netherlands.
- 3:38SPEAKER_01: And and and it was like the Lord spoke to me in that moment, you know, like your desire is okay.
- 3:44SPEAKER_01: It's not a carnal flesh or a desire, it's a spiritual desire.
- 3:48SPEAKER_01: I want you to be happy and I want you to be well.
- 3:51SPEAKER_01: I want to restore you unto your family as well as I restored you unto me.
- 3:55SPEAKER_01: And so I prayed that prayer, and God did a supernatural miracle because they denied me to go back to the Netherlands.
- 4:02SPEAKER_01: I should go back to the island to spend the rest of my prison time in Portugal, and then I would be transferred to the Netherlands to do the rest of my other sentence that I had in the Netherlands.
- 4:11SPEAKER_01: And so, you know, it was impossible in the natural for me to go back to the Netherlands.
- 4:16SPEAKER_01: Impossible.
- 4:16SPEAKER_01: But yet, the next day, sure enough, you know, this guard comes to me and says, Listen, you are going back, uh you're going away on Monday.
- 4:28SPEAKER_01: And I said, Where am I going?
- 4:30SPEAKER_01: And I thought I was going back to the island, and he said, You go back to Holland.
- 4:34SPEAKER_01: And I just fell on my knees.
- 4:36SPEAKER_01: I could not believe it.
- 4:37SPEAKER_01: When I got into the van on Monday, there was a guy in the van, a Dutch guy.
- 4:43SPEAKER_01: He looked at me and he said, Hey, are you going back to the Netherlands as well?
- 4:46SPEAKER_01: I said, Yes.
- 4:47SPEAKER_01: He says, I am so lucky because I should go back only in six weeks.
- 4:51SPEAKER_01: But the guy that should go back today was cancelled, and so I took his place.
- 4:56SPEAKER_01: He was talking about me.
- 4:58SPEAKER_01: I was cancelled.
- 5:00SPEAKER_01: And they only do one guy every I don't know how many times, but you know, he took my place, but yet there I was, you know.
- 5:08SPEAKER_01: And so I was man, I was really like keeping my mouth shut and just praying in the in the in the same time, like, let me get into the plane, let me get into the plane, let me get into the plane, let me get into the plane, let me get into the plane, you know, like brain repetition, but that was a repetition.
- 5:26SPEAKER_01: Let me go back into the plane, amen.
- 5:28SPEAKER_01: When I got into the plane and they finally lift off, man, I knew, you know.
- 5:35SPEAKER_01: That weight that fell off my shoulders, it was like indescribable.
- 5:40SPEAKER_01: I'll never forget that moment.
- 5:41SPEAKER_01: I also never forget when I got back to the Netherlands, I saw two rainbows, two of them, you know, in the airport.
- 5:48SPEAKER_01: And man, you couldn't get that smile off my face.
- 5:51SPEAKER_01: And the prosecutor told me that you should not be back in the Netherlands.
- 5:55SPEAKER_01: We made a mistake, you are not supposed to be here.
- 5:57SPEAKER_01: But I'm a citizen of the Netherlands, they cannot bring me back again to Portugal, you know.
- 6:02SPEAKER_01: And so they said, But we made a mistake and blah blah blah blah.
- 6:05SPEAKER_01: You should not suppose to be here.
- 6:06SPEAKER_01: It was not in our will for you to be here.
- 6:08SPEAKER_01: And I said, It's in the will of my father that I'm here, amen.
- 6:11SPEAKER_01: He said it in his word that I can ask what I desire, and I desire to be back with my family.
- 6:15SPEAKER_01: So thank you very much.
- 6:17SPEAKER_01: But you know, I'm happy to be back in the Netherlands.
- 6:19SPEAKER_01: He says, I'm gonna give you the maximum sentence.
- 6:21SPEAKER_01: I said, Do what you want to do, you know, because I'm already free, because he who the son sets free is free indeed.
- 6:26SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 6:27SPEAKER_01: And so I've spent 10 years in prison and got out, and just you know, the rest is history.
- 6:31SPEAKER_01: But my God, man, the word of God is true, you know, and he said that if we come to him, you know, in spirit and in truth, you know, and we abide in him, and his words are imbiding in us, the things of above, you know, his truth, his promises, you know, his will, you know, what is established for us in grace, if it abides in us, you know, we can ask whatever we desire and it shall be done for us.
- 6:54SPEAKER_01: It's a promise, and God can't lie, amen.
- 6:57SPEAKER_01: Man, that's amazing.
- 6:58SPEAKER_01: You know that God answers all my prayers, and people get upset when I said that, say that, you know.
- 7:05SPEAKER_01: He answers all my prayers, I always say to people.
- 7:08SPEAKER_01: And they're like, What do you mean?
- 7:10SPEAKER_01: He answers all your prayers, he doesn't need to answer all my prayers.
- 7:14SPEAKER_01: You know, I said, No, he answers all my prayers which I've prayed in spirit and in truth.
- 7:20SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 7:21SPEAKER_01: All the prayers that I did not pray in spirit and in truth, all the prayers that I prayed for my carnal, natural, you know, sensory man that was that were, you know, not in his will, you know, or not for me to have.
- 7:34SPEAKER_01: You know, let me give you a good example, you know, very good example, right?
- 7:38SPEAKER_01: So in Acts, uh, let me just go there quickly.
- 7:45SPEAKER_01: You know, sorry, because this guy, he didn't know what he needed, you know.
- 7:53SPEAKER_01: But here it says that there was this guy in Acts 3, and Jesus, uh Peter and John went up to the together in Acts 3 to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.
- 8:03SPEAKER_01: And there was a certain man linked from his mother's womb, was carried, who they laid daily at the gate of the temple, which is called beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple.
- 8:14SPEAKER_01: And then he saw Peter and John about to go into the temple and ask them for alms.
- 8:18SPEAKER_01: And fixing his eyes on him with John, Peter said, Look at us.
- 8:23SPEAKER_01: So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.
- 8:29SPEAKER_01: And then Peter said, Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you.
- 8:33SPEAKER_01: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.
- 8:37SPEAKER_01: And he took him by the right hand, lifted him up, and immediately his feet and his ankle bones received strength.
- 8:41SPEAKER_01: You know, this guy came to God, you know, like this guy had expectation to get alms, right?
- 8:48SPEAKER_01: But you know, God doesn't always give you what you want, but he will give you what you need.
- 8:53SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 8:53SPEAKER_01: This guy needed to be healed, so he didn't need to beg for the rest of his life anymore.
- 8:58SPEAKER_01: And that's a good example, you know.
- 9:00SPEAKER_01: Sometimes we can come to God, you know, and we want all these things that, you know, our wants, you know, are not in line with his will, and therefore he doesn't give you what you want, but he will give you always what you need because he is your father and he loves you, you know.
- 9:16SPEAKER_01: And so the Bible says in Psalm 23, you know, the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
- 9:23SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 9:24SPEAKER_01: So if he is your shepherd, you shall not want, but he knows exactly what you need.
- 9:30SPEAKER_01: He says, you know, don't worry about tomorrow because your father knows what you need.
- 9:36SPEAKER_01: Seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all the other things will be added to you.
- 9:41SPEAKER_01: And so come to God in spirit and in truth means also to come to him, not in like, you know, with all your wants, you know, because he already knows what you need, but come to him in spirit and in truth, knowing that he already has given you all you need, added everything to your account that you ever need in this life and in the life to come, you know, and just agreeing with him, thanking for him, and believing him for it.
- 10:03SPEAKER_01: That is a prayer after his heart, if you believe him for it.
- 10:06SPEAKER_01: And so God answers all my prayers because uh my prayers that I have done in spirit and in truth because they were in spirit and in truth, and therefore he answers them because that's what Jesus says in John 16.
- 10:18SPEAKER_01: And so he says in John 16, 23, in that day you will ask me nothing.
- 10:23SPEAKER_01: Most assuredly I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my name, he will give you.
- 10:29SPEAKER_01: He will give you.
- 10:30SPEAKER_01: It is a promise.
- 10:32SPEAKER_01: It is a promise.
- 10:33SPEAKER_01: Whatever we pray in faith, whatever we pray in spirit and in truth, whatever we pray after his heart, with the right heart and the right mindset and the right motivation within our hearts, we come to him, agreeing with him, worshiping him in spirit and in truth, then he will give us whatever we ask him.
- 10:50SPEAKER_01: Whatever we ask him, because the things that we desire from him are in his will, like I shared in my testimony in John 15, 7.
- 10:57SPEAKER_01: You know, it was after his will, and therefore, you know, whatever you desire.
- 11:01SPEAKER_01: And I desired good things because I was in him and his words were in me.
- 11:06SPEAKER_01: If I was not in him and his words would not be in me, then I wouldn't desire the things that were in line with his word.
- 11:15SPEAKER_01: Because then I would desire the things from the flesh, as we read from Galatians 5.
- 11:19SPEAKER_01: You know, but God always answers all my prayers that are prayed in spirit and in truth.
- 11:24SPEAKER_01: And so, you know, and I can give many, many, many examples.
- 11:27SPEAKER_01: You know, the Lord has called me to share the gospel of the good news all over the world.
- 11:31SPEAKER_01: And I'm telling you, these open-air crusades that we're giving, this festival of lives, we give away cars, motorcycles, food parcels, refrigerators, television, tablets, phones, whatever is needed to draw the crowd to come to listen to us on these festivals.
- 11:46SPEAKER_01: We we we have this amazing concept.
- 11:48SPEAKER_01: I don't want to go into it too much, but you know, just go and check on the website at Jo1Tut, you know, and see what we are doing with these crusades because it's really, really amazing, really powerful.
- 11:58SPEAKER_01: But we are drawing tens of thousands of people to these festivals, these cultural festivals where we have dance and you know, where we have, you know, folklore and when we have artists, and then we give away these prices, and then in the middle of that, you know, I come on stage and preach the gospel to them.
- 12:13SPEAKER_01: But I'm telling you, these festivals cost a lot of money.
- 12:17SPEAKER_01: I mean a lot of money.
- 12:19SPEAKER_01: You know, it's between a hundred and two hundred thousand dollars that we spend on each and every festival, and it's a lot of money.
- 12:26SPEAKER_01: And so, you know, um, I don't have that money.
- 12:30SPEAKER_01: I am not, you know, uh I'm not a millionaire or anything like that.
- 12:34SPEAKER_01: I am in Christ, don't get me wrong, but I'm I'm not a millionaire like I've got millions of euros or dollars on my bank account, you know.
- 12:41SPEAKER_01: I'm just, you know, I'm a servant of the Lord and I have my salary, and I'm, you know, I'm pleased with it and I'm blessed, you know, I'm prosperous.
- 12:49SPEAKER_01: You know, God has taken really, really good care of us, you know, but I couldn't afford to pay for those festivals.
- 12:55SPEAKER_01: And we give between 10 and 20 of those festivals each year.
- 12:59SPEAKER_01: And I'm just talking about these festivals.
- 13:01SPEAKER_01: These cost a lot of money, you know, and then we have trucks driving all over the world that go out, you know, a few times a week, and they they need to be paid every month so they can keep on driving and give away stuff and you know, helping people.
- 13:14SPEAKER_01: And you know, we we we put water wells, you know, we give food, you know, and all that kind of stuff.
- 13:19SPEAKER_01: Man, it costs a lot of money.
- 13:21SPEAKER_01: I'm just mentioning those two things.
- 13:24SPEAKER_01: Now, God is the one who called me and who had sent me, he is the one who gave me this ministry, this reconciliation.
- 13:32SPEAKER_01: He has called me to be an evangelist and preach the gospel to the poor, the humble and the afflicted and the brokenhearted, to go into all the world and preach the gospel of the good, the good news of the gospel.
- 13:41SPEAKER_01: And so that's God that sent me.
- 13:43SPEAKER_01: He is my boss, you know, and he is therefore also the one who is responsible to pay the bill because I couldn't pay it.
- 13:50SPEAKER_01: And so I don't go to God praying, you know, and saying, Oh Lord, you know, will you please want to pay the bill because otherwise I can't do those things.
- 13:58SPEAKER_01: I'm thanking him.
- 13:59SPEAKER_01: I say, Thank you, Father, that you have called me.
- 14:01SPEAKER_01: Thank you that you, you know, have sent me, and thank you that you have opened all these doors for me.
- 14:05SPEAKER_01: Now I know it's in your perfect will that I'm gonna do this crusade and I'm gonna do this festival, I'm gonna do that festival.
- 14:10SPEAKER_01: I know it's in your will because that's what you sent me for, and these doors are opening, and we have an amazing opportunity to share the gospel, and you know also what it costs.
- 14:18SPEAKER_01: But thank you, Lord, that you are the one who's building the house, and so you will give me also the materials.
- 14:22SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna do that event, and it's gonna be a huge testimony how you supernaturally pay for the bill.
- 14:27SPEAKER_01: Thank you.
- 14:28SPEAKER_01: I believe you for it in the name of Jesus.
- 14:29SPEAKER_01: Hallelujah.
- 14:30SPEAKER_01: You know, and then just go ahead and do it, and God always provides.
- 14:33SPEAKER_01: It's supernatural.
- 14:35SPEAKER_01: I'm telling you, it's supernatural.
- 14:36SPEAKER_01: You know, the the one that uh the project that we are here in Brazil, you know, we built that this project, you know, debt-free.
- 14:43SPEAKER_01: I had no money whatsoever.
- 14:45SPEAKER_01: It was doing during COVID that God asked me to go and build this mission house where we could receive teams from all over the world to disciple them and equip them, you know, and I was just believing God.
- 14:56SPEAKER_01: I came to him, only worshipping him in prayer and in truth.
- 14:59SPEAKER_01: And I never asked him, you know, Lord, how I'm gonna do this, how I'm gonna do that.
- 15:02SPEAKER_01: He just told me one thing.
- 15:03SPEAKER_01: He said, You go and build like you have no leg.
- 15:06SPEAKER_01: And that's what I did.
- 15:07SPEAKER_01: I built like I didn't have any leg and I didn't.
- 15:10SPEAKER_01: You know, because God answers all my prayers.
- 15:12SPEAKER_01: He knows exactly what are the desires of my heart there are to build his kingdom and to build it with power and to have as many people as to win as many people as possible in the shortest time as possible for the goodness of the kingdom of God.
- 15:24SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 15:25SPEAKER_01: And so there is this other story, you know, that I really, really had the desire to have a gospel truck so that I could go into the slums, you know, the favelas to preach the gospel, but like in and out, instead of putting on a whole stage and everything, just go with the truck, open the truck, put out your sound system, you know, draw the attention of the people, you know, and lure them in, you know, to come to listen to your uh to stand in front of your truck, you know, and so you preach the gospel, you know, you win them for G's, you pray for them, get them filled with the Holy Spirit, give them some Bibles, connect them with any local church, and then bam, close the thing and off again, you know.
- 15:58SPEAKER_01: And so I really needed a gospel truck, and that I knew it was in the desire of God.
- 16:03SPEAKER_01: So when I saw drive drugs, trucks driving on the streets, you know, like the models that I was looking at.
- 16:08SPEAKER_01: I didn't want to have a too big one, just a small one that would be enough for about 2,500, maybe 3,000 people.
- 16:15SPEAKER_01: And so I was looking, you know, in this trucks, and every time I saw a truck, I said, Hey, there is my truck.
- 16:21SPEAKER_01: That's the one that's gonna stand on my driveway in the name of Jesus.
- 16:23SPEAKER_01: Um and it's gonna be like this, this, this, and I'm gonna do it like that, that, that.
- 16:26SPEAKER_01: And I was just, you know, confirming it, you know, and I said, Father God, thank you so much that you that you have given me a gospel truck.
- 16:33SPEAKER_01: I didn't have any in the natural.
- 16:35SPEAKER_01: And I had no money to buy one as well.
- 16:37SPEAKER_01: But I just said, Father, thank you so much that you have given me a gospel truck.
- 16:40SPEAKER_01: Thank you so much that you have blessed me with this amazing gospel truck that I'm gonna preach the gospel.
- 16:45SPEAKER_01: I know it's in your will, and I've received it in Jesus' name, hallelujah.
- 16:48SPEAKER_01: I already see him standing in the driveway.
- 16:50SPEAKER_01: I see exactly how it looks and you know, and how it's gonna work and what it's gonna do.
- 16:53SPEAKER_01: And thank you, Father, it's gonna be the first of many in Jesus' name, hallelujah.
- 16:58SPEAKER_01: And on my 50th birthday, somebody called me, a good friend of mine, you know, and he says he had a partner, he wants to uh see where he can invest something.
- 17:06SPEAKER_01: He said he needed, I needed to think about you.
- 17:08SPEAKER_01: And on my birthday, I received my very first gospel truck, you know, and God always answers my prayers if they are done in spirit and in truth.
- 17:19SPEAKER_01: I have so many testimonies of that.
- 17:21SPEAKER_01: And now in and now I have about 10 gospel trucks driving in all kinds of countries all over the world, Africa, Asia, you know, in South America, in the Netherlands, everywhere, you know.
- 17:31SPEAKER_01: We have the gospel trucks.
- 17:33SPEAKER_01: It's really amazing.
- 17:34SPEAKER_01: And so we don't I don't go to God, you know, with doubt and unbelief, you know.
- 17:38SPEAKER_01: I go to God in spirit and in truth, and I know that he gives me everything that I need, you know, if if it is in his will and if it's provided by grace, you know, that Jesus has paid for, then all of his promises in Christ Jesus, there are yes and amen, and all the spiritual blessings he already has blessed me with in Jesus, in Christ, amen.
- 17:58SPEAKER_01: And so I've got a lot of testimonies.
- 18:01SPEAKER_01: You know, I was one time I was attacked by yellow fever.
- 18:05SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna share in uh you know in different uh studies on this testimony, so I won't go into much details, but I was attacked by yellow fever in Brazil, went to the hospital in the Netherlands, and I was really bad in a really bad shape, and they told me that I'm not gonna make it.
- 18:21SPEAKER_01: That's what they told me.
- 18:22SPEAKER_01: You're not gonna make it.
- 18:23SPEAKER_01: You're too weak, your heart is about to explode, you know, and you what you lost so much weight in a few days, and you turn yellow and your organs start to bleed and they will explode.
- 18:32SPEAKER_01: And I said, No, I'm not gonna explode in Jesus' name.
- 18:35unknown: Amen.
- 18:36SPEAKER_01: I just told her, I said, I rebuke everything and I break everything that you just said about me in the name of Jesus.
- 18:41SPEAKER_01: I respect you as a doctor, but please can you leave my room?
- 18:44SPEAKER_01: I need to talk with my father.
- 18:45SPEAKER_01: And so she was like really surprised.
- 18:49SPEAKER_01: She went out of my room.
- 18:50SPEAKER_01: I sat on the side of my bed, couldn't hardly breathe, hardly talk, you know, nothing.
- 18:54SPEAKER_01: Completely weak, you know.
- 18:56SPEAKER_01: And I just said, Father God, thank you so much for the life that you have given me.
- 19:00SPEAKER_01: Thank you, Lord, that you already have brought me here, even Asa.
- 19:03SPEAKER_01: You and you already brought me to this place, and it has been amazing.
- 19:06SPEAKER_01: What a journey.
- 19:07SPEAKER_01: I love you, and I praise your holy name.
- 19:09SPEAKER_01: And even if I'm gonna die today, Lord, I praise you for the life that I was allowed to live, to know you, and that I can be in your presence.
- 19:17SPEAKER_01: But Father, I know what your word says.
- 19:19SPEAKER_01: It says by his by the stripes of Jesus, I have been healed, and so I rebuke that yellow fever that is attacking me.
- 19:27SPEAKER_01: It cannot be in my blood because I am the healed of the Lord.
- 19:32SPEAKER_01: I am the healed of the Lord, and you know the blood of Jesus is flowing through my veins, and there is no sickness nor disease that can exist in the presence of my Lord.
- 19:42SPEAKER_01: And so I rebuke it, I renounce it, I curse it in the name of Jesus.
- 19:46SPEAKER_01: Yellow fever, die right now in my body in the name of Jesus, and I'm not gonna die, but I'm gonna live to praise your holy name, and I believe it's in your will, and I agree with your word.
- 19:56SPEAKER_01: I believe what you say and not what the doctor said.
- 19:58SPEAKER_01: Thank you so much, Father, and started to worship him.
- 20:00SPEAKER_01: You see, I came to him in spirit and in truth, and I just felt that supernatural healing become manifest through my body, and I knew instantly I was healed.
- 20:10SPEAKER_01: I rejoiced all night.
- 20:11SPEAKER_01: And the next day I already packed my stuff, put it at the side of the door to leave the hospital, and it was on a Friday, and they told me, No, no, no, no, no.
- 20:18SPEAKER_01: They came the next morning.
- 20:19SPEAKER_01: How do you feel?
- 20:20SPEAKER_01: I said, I'm healed.
- 20:20SPEAKER_01: They said, No, that's impossible.
- 20:22SPEAKER_01: I said, No, that's possible.
- 20:23SPEAKER_01: But with my God, all things are possible.
- 20:25SPEAKER_01: And they said, No, no, no, you know, yellow fever, it goes like this.
- 20:28SPEAKER_01: I said, No, no, no, mine is like that, you know, it's a flatliner.
- 20:32SPEAKER_01: And they kept me the whole weekend to do all these studies and tests on me.
- 20:35SPEAKER_01: Man, I felt like a lab rat lap rat, you know, just all these tests on me.
- 20:40SPEAKER_01: But then on Monday morning they came to me surely enough and they said, Man, it's a medical miracle.
- 20:45SPEAKER_01: I said, No, it's not a miracle, man, a medical miracle, it's a it's a God kind of miracle because he said it and I believed it and it's done.
- 20:52SPEAKER_01: I'm healed because he healed me.
- 20:54SPEAKER_01: And you know, and uh they said there is no more yellow fever in your system whatsoever.
- 20:58SPEAKER_01: And the doctor testified about that also in a big doctor's uh symposium where I testified about it as well and gave God all the glory in front of hundreds of atheists, you know.
- 21:10SPEAKER_01: But man, it was really powerful.
- 21:11SPEAKER_01: But you see, I believe what God says, and I came to him in spirit and in truth.
- 21:15SPEAKER_01: I didn't come to him and say, Oh Lord, I'm gonna die, now I don't want to die, and I'm gonna call all my family, I'm gonna go to Facebook and ask everybody to help me, support me, and have all these prayer chains around me.
- 21:23SPEAKER_01: No, that would be an unbelief, you know.
- 21:26SPEAKER_01: Doesn't mean that I wasn't scared, but his perfect love cast out all fear, amen.
- 21:31SPEAKER_01: And I just stood on his word and I knew that his word was true, and so I prayed that and I stood on his word, and then it became manifest.
- 21:39SPEAKER_01: Man, I'm telling you, it's so powerful, you know, to go to the Lord like that.
- 21:44SPEAKER_01: And so, anyway, 1 John 3 21.
- 21:48SPEAKER_01: Let's go there quickly.
- 21:49SPEAKER_01: 1 John 3 21.
- 21:50SPEAKER_01: I've got a few more minutes to close this down and before we're gonna go to the next level.
- 21:57SPEAKER_01: 1 John 3 21.
- 21:58SPEAKER_01: Come on, Yoan, you know.
- 22:00SPEAKER_01: Where one John is.
- 22:02SPEAKER_01: It's amazing that you know there are just like three pages in the middle of this big book that can be life-changing for you.
- 22:09SPEAKER_01: One word of the Lord can change you completely.
- 22:11SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 22:12SPEAKER_01: 1 John 3.21, there it is.
- 22:14SPEAKER_01: It says, Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence towards God.
- 22:19SPEAKER_01: And whatever we ask, we receive from Him because we keep His commands and those things that are pleasing in His sight.
- 22:26SPEAKER_01: And so, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence with God.
- 22:32SPEAKER_01: And so in 1 John 5 14, he says, And this is the confidence.
- 22:37SPEAKER_01: So now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
- 22:44SPEAKER_01: And if we know that He hears us whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked for Him, of Him.
- 22:53SPEAKER_01: Man, this is so powerful and amazing, you know.
- 22:56SPEAKER_01: So, God wants your and your prayers to be answered.
- 23:00SPEAKER_01: You know, your heart shouldn't condemn you if you know who you are in Christ Jesus.
- 23:04SPEAKER_01: If you come to Him in spirit and truth, you know that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
- 23:09SPEAKER_01: And you can come to the Father with this pure, upright heart, with the right heart motivation, praying a prayer after his heart, you know that it's in spirit and in truth.
- 23:17SPEAKER_01: And no, and then he says it is the confidence that we have in him that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
- 23:25SPEAKER_01: If we have and ask anything that is not according to his will, he will not hear us.
- 23:29SPEAKER_01: But if it's according to his will, you know it's in spirit and in truth, then he hears us.
- 23:33SPEAKER_01: And so if we know that he hears us whatever we ask, then we also know that we have the petitions that we ask of us.
- 23:40SPEAKER_01: And you know, and so, man, I'm telling you, I'm sorry, but if you really believe God, and if you really are completely convinced that he hears you whenever you ask him things that are according to his will, that you have asked in spirit and truth, and you came to him with the right heart motivation, the right mindset, you know, and in truth, you know, and and and you pray a prayer after his heart, then you know that you know that you know that he heard you.
- 24:07SPEAKER_01: He answered your prayer.
- 24:09SPEAKER_01: He did.
- 24:10SPEAKER_01: You just have to believe that.
- 24:12SPEAKER_01: Otherwise, you went to him with the wrong heart.
- 24:14SPEAKER_01: You went in doubt.
- 24:16SPEAKER_01: And somebody that doubts mustn't think that he receives anything from God, is what James said.
- 24:20SPEAKER_01: And so we don't doubt, we know for sure because we go to him in spirit and truth.
- 24:25SPEAKER_01: Man, this is this is powerful stuff that I'm sharing with you, and you know, it's way too much to cover in just a few episodes.
- 24:32SPEAKER_01: But let me just share the basics with you.
- 24:34SPEAKER_01: Go to God in spirit and in truth, you know, go with the right heart and right heart motivation, you know, not to live in it, you know, in your desires, but you know, to please the Lord that is glorifying to him, that will lift up his name, that will be a great testimony to his name, you know, what is completely in his will, and you go to him and you know that when you ask anything according to his will, you already have received it.
- 25:00SPEAKER_01: And so you can worship and you can praise and you can rejoice in it that you already have received whatever you ask from him because he knows what you need before you even asked him.
- 25:10SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 25:10SPEAKER_01: And that's powerful.
- 25:12SPEAKER_01: Well, my time is up, but I'm really looking forward to see you again in a new episode of One Gospel.
