  SPEAKER_00: Welcome to One Gospel, bringing you the full truth of God's Word, clearly explained.
• 0:07
  SPEAKER_00: Together with our host, Johann Toit, we'll unpack scripture to understand what's written and grow as a disciple of Christ.
• 0:15
  SPEAKER_00: Ready to take notes?
• 0:16
  SPEAKER_00: Let's open the Bible.
• 0:19
  SPEAKER_01: Hi there and welcome to today's episode of One Gospel.
• 0:23
  SPEAKER_01: I'm your host, Johan Tut, and as always, I am excited, you know, to share the word of God with you.
• 0:28
  SPEAKER_01: I've started this amazing series called Effective Evangelism.
• 0:32
  SPEAKER_01: And man, it already has been a huge blessing to myself.
• 0:36
  SPEAKER_01: It gets me fired up because it's one of my favorite things, you know, to win souls for King Jesus.
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_01: And then that's what he called me to, you know, as an evangelist.
• 0:45
  SPEAKER_01: And so, you know, I have been sharing and I've got a lot to share and a lot to cover, but I just want to go slow, you know, and really get us prepared, you know, for the work of ministry.
• 0:58
  SPEAKER_01: You know, that's what it also says in Ephesians 4.
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_01: If we can just go there quickly, um, have to do it the right way, the other way around.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_01: Here it says in Ephesians 4 that God, you know, has given, Jesus has given some in verse 11, uh, gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers for the equipping of the saints, for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, so that we all can come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_01: And so God has called me as an evangelist to equip the body and to make them ready to prepare them for the work of ministry.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_01: And so I really believe that with this series that I started today, I'm exactly doing that.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_01: I'm preparing you for the work of ministry as an evangelist.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_01: And so to do the work of an evangelist.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_01: You know, that's what also Paul said to Timothy, you know, he says, you know, fulfill uh, you know, your service and do the will, do the work of an evangelist.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_01: And so, you know, I just want to empower you, equip you, and make you ready so that when you go out, you will be very effective when you evangelize people.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_01: And when you're evangelized, you know the world that you are living in, because God called you to be a witness.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_01: And so, in these previous episodes, I have been sharing on, you know, the need for soul winning, the importance of it, how Jesus himself was moved with compassion, you know, and now he saw that people were scary and withered, you know, like and tired and weary, you know, like sheep without a shepherd.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_01: You know, and then he tells his disciples that the harvest was truly plentiful and that, you know, they need to pray for more laborers.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_01: And so I said, you know, okay, everybody needs to pray for more laborers, but we also ourselves need to take action and not be lukewarm and send at the sideline.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_01: And so I also shared on how we need to preach the true gospel, the gospel of the kingdom of God, not the gospel of hell, condemnation, and shame and guilt, you know, but the good news of the gospel, the good news of the finished work of Jesus Christ, you know, that he is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father but by him.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_01: You know, that there is now salvation for us by the an atonement of our sins, you know, by the sacrifice of Jesus that he did for us, so that we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_01: And so, man, I've been sharing in all that stuff, and man, that really blessed me, especially when I was reading in Romans 10 that it says, How beautiful are the feet of those who bring the good news of peace, the gospel of peace, you know, bring good tidings.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_01: And so, man, God thinks that our feet are beautiful when we go out and share this good news of peace between God and man through Christ Jesus.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_01: Man, that is so beautiful and that is so powerful.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_01: And then, you know, I also share that God doesn't only call those evangelists that are standing somewhere on a stage, but he calls each and every one of us.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_01: He calls you and he calls me to rise up and to take action.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_01: And so I left uh 2 Corinthians, you know, um in verse um 2 Corinthians 5.
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_01: And I want to I want to pick it up there and then continue this teaching.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_01: And I pray that you're gonna be blessed by it.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_01: Father God, thank you so much for this word, thank you for this truth, and thank you, Lord, that we may come to know the importance of preaching your gospel and winning souls for your kingdom, the need of winning souls for your kingdom, Father God.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_01: So thank you, Holy Spirit, that you equip us and empower us by your word, and that you will place this fire within our hearts, that we rise up to make an impact for your kingdom.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you, Father God, that your name may be glorified in everything.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_01: In Jesus' mighty name.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_01: And so, man, in 2 Corinthians 5, I'm sorry.
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_01: So let me just read from verse 17.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_01: It says that therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_01: All things have passed away, behold, all things have become new.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_01: Now all things are of God who has reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ and has given us the ministry of reconciliation.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_01: And so, before I read on, if someone is in Christ Jesus, he is a new creation, all things have passed away, behold, all things have become new.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_01: This is the gospel of the kingdom.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_01: That when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, you know, we will become something completely new.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_01: All things have been passed away.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_01: So your old sin nature, your your old sin wretched, wretched, sinful ways, you know, your time of slavery is over, you know, you're no longer a slave of the God of His world, you're no longer a slave of sin, no longer a slave of your own flesh.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_01: You know, you will be set free completely because he makes you something completely new, that something that was never before.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_01: He makes you a new man in himself, and then you know, your old life has been cut off, you died, that old man died.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_01: That's why the Bible says in Galatians 2.20 that I have been crucified with Christ, and it's no longer I who live, it's Christ who lives within me.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_01: Man, this good news of the gospel of the kingdom that turns you into something that you were never before, that brings you back into unity and oneness and community with God, that makes you a new creation, this is the word of reconciliation.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_01: This is the word of the gospel of the kingdom that we need to preach.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_01: And so that's why I wanted to read from verse 17.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_01: That if anyone is in Christ, that he is a new creation, old things have passed away, behold, all things have become new.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_01: Now, all these things there are of God who has reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_01: So, how are we reconciled with God?
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_01: Which is the gospel of the kingdom that we need to preach?
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_01: That this reconciliation that God has, that he wants to reconcile us to him, he does that through his son, Jesus Christ, who died for us and rose again.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_01: And so then, as us disciples, believers, new creation, new men in Christ Jesus, as as disciples of Jesus, followers of our rabbi, you know, he gives us, the believers, he gave us the ministry of reconciliation.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_01: That means that you and I have a ministry of reconciliation.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_01: We do not have a ministry of condemnation, rejection, guilt, shame, you know, punishment, an angry God, and you know, and all that stuff.
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_01: That's not the ministry that he has given us.
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_01: He has given us a ministry of reconciliation, the reconciliation that he reconciled to himself, us through Christ Jesus.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_01: This reconciliation, that there is peace with God.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_01: There is peace with God.
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_01: All anger, all thorn was upon Jesus.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_01: The chastisement of our peace was upon him.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_01: And so that's the word of the ministry of reconciliation that is given us.
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_01: That is, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not imputing their trespasses to them.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_01: Like I said in John 3 17, that God did not send his son into the world so that he could condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_01: That's why it says in Romans 8:1 that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_01: Those who are in Christ Jesus are a new creation.
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_01: All things have passed away, and all things have become new.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_01: So, you know, the law hath passed away, sin nature has become away, sin has passed away, accusations have been passed away, you know, slavery has been passed away, death hath been passed away, all has become new.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_01: This is the reconciliation that we have with Christ Jesus.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_01: And then it says, continue in verse 19, and he has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_01: So he commits that to you and to me now then.
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_01: Now then, because that is all true.
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_01: Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_01: Man, do you know the importance of the calling that God has placed upon your life?
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_01: The importance, you know, the weight, you know, of this job that He gives you to do.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_01: We are ambassadors for Christ.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_01: Man, what an honor.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_01: What an amazing, amazing honor that I can be an ambassador for Christ, that he has committed me.
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_01: And that I am now an ambassador for Christ.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_01: I am an ambassador for the kingdom of God.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_01: I speak on behalf of the kingdom of God.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_01: I speak on behalf of Christ.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_01: Man, that is powerful, man.
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_01: That is truly powerful.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_01: As though God were pleading through us.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_01: So we speak on his behalf.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_01: We become the mouth of God if we preach the gospel of the kingdom.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_01: And we speak on his behalf, so it's like God is pleading through us.
• 10:28
  SPEAKER_01: If he's speaking through us, if he's like if he's begging through us, to those people that are in darkness, to those people that are lost and scattered and weary like sheep having no shepherd, to those people who are still bound and still are covered within sin and darkness and blinded and therefore cannot see the kingdom of God, nor can they enter into the kingdom of God, that God speaks through us as the ambassadors that we are, though as though God was pleading through us, we implore you on Christ's behalf.
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_01: I speak on his behalf, be reconciled to God.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_01: He already reconciled us to himself through Christ Jesus.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_01: Now, for you, you need to put your faith in Christ Jesus.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_01: You need to repent, turn away, and start to change your mind and think different, and then reconcile yourself to God.
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_01: Just throw yourself into the arms of Jesus because man, he has a hopeful future for you.
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_01: God has so much better for you than you can ever imagine for yourself.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_01: And that's the gospel of the kingdom.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_01: That's what we need to preach.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_01: This is so powerful.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_01: Knowing that you are a soldier of the kingdom of God and that you can go out to preach the gospel of the kingdom.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_01: Man, that you are an ambassador, man.
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_01: Can you just say that for a second, man?
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_01: It's just it's just hitting me, you know.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know, it's just hitting me.
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_01: It's just hitting me right now, you know.
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_01: I am an ambassador for the kingdom of God.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_01: I knew I was an ambassador, I knew I'm a soldier of the kingdom of God, but just by reading this again, you know.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_01: Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ.
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_01: We speak on his behalf.
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_01: What a responsibility.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_01: And what a responsibility then to preach the good news of the gospel, to preach truth.
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_01: And no other gospel, for there is no other gospel, but to preach truth.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_01: Man, this is really important for you and for me, my brother and my sister.
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I don't know if you're gonna get this.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_01: I I I mean, I'm praying that you get this.
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_01: That you kind of start to see yourself not only as a son of God, you know, a brother of Jesus, you know, as a saved sinner.
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_01: No, but that you start to see yourself as a soldier of the kingdom of God, a soldier of the kingdom of peace in the army of peace.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_01: That you are an ambassador, man.
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_01: You've got rights.
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_01: You are an ambassador, you speak on behalf of Christ.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_01: Now, not only the demons need to flee, you know, and sickness needs to be cast down, strongholds need to be cast down in the name of Jesus, on which behalf you go out in the name of Jesus in your authority.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_01: But also when you speak to people, you speak on his behalf.
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_01: And then you should share the truth of the gospel of the kingdom instead of speaking a lot of bunch and stuff, you know, that is from the world and it's got nothing to do with the kingdom of God or with God.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_01: You know, Peter says that if someone speaks, then as an oracle of God.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_01: If someone speaks, then speaks, you know, the words of God as he speaks the words of God because we speak on his behalf.
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_01: And so we should be very aware of what we say and what we share with people, but we also have this responsibility to share with people because there are a lot of people, you know, Christians, that don't share, they don't give accountability, they don't beg people, they don't they don't implore people, they're not they don't speak on Christ's behalf, they speak on their own behalf or they don't speak at all and hold forever their peace.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_01: Which I don't believe is true, peace.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_01: So, you know, we are ambassadors, you know, and we need to speak on Christ's behalf to people, be reconciled to God.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_01: We need to preach the gospel of the kingdom of God.
• 14:06
  SPEAKER_01: There is a need for soul winning, a huge need to the whole reason that Jesus came.
• 14:13
  SPEAKER_01: Now, that's powerful, man.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_01: I believe that as an evangelist I have one of the most important jobs of the world.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_01: You know, after all, there is no uh catch without a fisherman, there is no church without souls, without building blocks, you know, and there are no disciples without a comfort, convert, you know.
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_01: I also like to say, you know, like if there is no fisherman that catches fish and doesn't bring those building blocks to the church, then there is no church.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_01: And if there's no church, then there is no need for a pastor, apostle, you know, prophet, you know, or a teacher.
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_01: Then it's bye-bye with all those jobs and callings, amen.
• 14:55
  SPEAKER_01: I believe I've got one of the most important jobs that you can have in the kingdom of God.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_01: I truly, truly believe.
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_01: You know, because you know, we need to have a fisherman to have fish.
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 15:07
  SPEAKER_01: Very simple, otherwise the aquarium stays empty.
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_01: And God has called me a fisher of men, and he has made me a fisher of men, and he has called me to cast out the nets into the deep worldwide and to just draw them in.
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_01: And you know, there will be all kinds of fish.
• 15:24
  SPEAKER_01: God knows which ones are good and which ones are not.
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_01: That's not my job, you know, to worry about that.
• 15:31
  SPEAKER_01: I'm just my job is just to catch out, to throw out the nets and to catch the fish, and then God will sort them out, amen.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_01: And so, and he called me to do that as many and as fast as possible, to bring in as many people as possible in the shortest time as possible, with the goodness of the gospel of the kingdom, to bring them in, to get them, to to catch them for the kingdom of God, and that is what I do with everything that I have and everything that I am.
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_01: You know, and God, God, God, God blesses the works of our hands because we see that we truly have a lot of harvest, and the harvest becomes more and more.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_01: The campaigns, the festivals that we give, I will I will share on that in um another episode, but the campaigns that we hold, you know, for the kingdom of God, the the festivals, they're very, very successful.
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_01: You know, whether it's going to be 10 people, 100 people, a thousand, ten thousand, or a hundred thousand people, there's always a great harvest.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_01: You know, it's like most of the times we have around eighty percent of the people, eighty-five percent of the people that make a choice to accept Jesus as the Lord and Savior.
• 16:44
  SPEAKER_01: Sometimes we have 100%, everybody.
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_01: You know, and sometimes we have a little bit of less, but the average around 80% of the people that we preach the gospel to on these festivals give their lives to Jesus.
• 16:58
  SPEAKER_01: And believe me, I'm teaching them exactly what I've been teaching you.
• 17:03
  SPEAKER_01: That they really need to repent and that they need to believe in their heart and need to confess with their mouth.
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_01: I explain their state before Christ and their state after Christ.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_01: I explain them the gospel of the kingdom in order for them to receive it and believe on it.
• 17:19
  SPEAKER_01: So, you know, I did my part on what God called me.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_01: That's the word of reconciliation that He is committed to me, and I speak on Christ's behalf as an ambassador for them to accept Him as their Lord and Savior, so they can be entering into the same kingdom.
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_01: And so we also do our part, you know, with discipling the comforts.
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I mean, we do a lot of stuff.
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_01: I have a lot of free materials, study guides, one basic study guides, you know, video, podcast, you know, we do we are on other social media platforms on television, satellite, you know, and all my books are for free, you know.
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_01: And we have everything translated in four languages already: that's Spanish, Portuguese, English, and Dutch.
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_01: So, you know, uh we can give them a sure foundation in Christ Jesus.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_01: You know, we also hold these mission trips, you know, to Brazil where we kickstart and disciple people from all over the world so they are equipped for the work of ministry and they will go out and multiply themselves and they will make the difference.
• 18:17
  SPEAKER_01: You know, we give away like tens of thousands of my books every year.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I've been given away hundreds and hundreds of thousands of books in all kinds of languages all over the world.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_01: You know, on one event, you know, I can give easily like 20,000, 30,000 books just in one event.
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_01: Man, this is like it's going all over the world into prisons, and man, I've got amazing testimonies of people reading my books, especially the book, you know, Good Enough, my testimony, and also that of my wife, Brenda's out of the shadows, that is really leading people to the Lord.
• 18:47
  SPEAKER_01: And man, what a blessing that is.
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_01: That so we we have all these tools, you know, to effectively try to disciple people and to do our part in that.
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_01: But my main calling, the main calling I have is to win those who are never heard the gospel.
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_01: You know, that's what Paul says, you know.
• 19:05
  SPEAKER_01: I I make effort to go to places where you know the gospel has not yet been preached, you know, because I can preach where it's already already been preached.
• 19:14
  SPEAKER_01: And man, the gospel has been preached in many locations constantly, you know, but the gospel needs to be preached on places where there's not been preached the gospel of the kingdom because sorry, that's what Jesus says, that this gospel of the kingdom needs to be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end shall come.
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_01: So I need to preach some pla in places where it is not been preached yet.
• 19:35
  SPEAKER_01: Now I may become in countries where the gospel has been preached, but the people that we are reaching, you know, most of them never heard the good news of the gospel, never heard the true gospel of the kingdom, you know, through this concept.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_01: I will share on that later, but it's really, really amazing.
• 19:52
  SPEAKER_01: And so, man, we are everywhere, all over the place, you know, and then also we have these gospel trucks driving all over the world, you know, winning souls for Jesus and going out to make an impact for the kingdom of God, you know, and also besides that, we have three worldwide conferences and events, sorry, to equip the saints to work to prepare them for the work of ministry.
• 20:15
  SPEAKER_01: And man, we see amazing things happen there.
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_01: And then, you know, we are reaching people by giving away stuff.
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_01: We give away tens of thousands of food parcels each year to the needy, you know, we give away all kinds of other stuff every year to draw the crowds, and we do so much, and I don't say this to boast, you know, but we do so much worldwide.
• 20:37
  SPEAKER_01: We really are making an impact.
• 20:39
  SPEAKER_01: We are really winning a lot of souls with Jesus, and we are really discipling and equipping a lot of people to go and do exactly the same and teach them who they are in Christ Jesus.
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_01: We do whatever we can.
• 20:50
  SPEAKER_01: You know, we are a 24-7 machine working on and on for the kingdom of God non-stop.
• 20:56
  SPEAKER_01: But I am just one man and my wife Brenda is just one woman.
• 21:01
  SPEAKER_01: We are just one couple, and we can do only so much.
• 21:06
  SPEAKER_01: We can only do so much.
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_01: There is so much work, the harvest is truly plentiful, the fields are ripe and ready to be harvested.
• 21:13
  SPEAKER_01: No, but what would it be if I would be the only person doing this?
• 21:17
  SPEAKER_01: And if one man can own can already reach so many people and have such an impact worldwide, you know, imagine if we all would rise up and start to do what God called us to do, if we all would start to step into this ministry of reconciliation, if we all would start to preach the good news of the gospel to each and every person that we can uh uh can reach in this world.
• 21:39
  SPEAKER_01: Man, I'm telling you, Jesus will come back quicker than you can blink your eyes if we're gonna start doing that as one body.
• 21:45
  SPEAKER_01: Hallelujah.
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_01: And so Jesus knew, you know, he he I learned this from Jesus.
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_01: Jesus says in John 16, verse 7 He says, Nevertheless, I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_01: For if I do not go away, the helper will not come to you, but if I depart, I will send him to you.
• 22:07
  SPEAKER_01: And so Jesus said, Listen, I by myself can only do so much.
• 22:12
  SPEAKER_01: I can reach people, you know, in Jerusalem, I can reach people in Nazareth, you know, I can reach people in Judah, you know, I can reach people there.
• 22:21
  SPEAKER_01: But I can do only so much.
• 22:23
  SPEAKER_01: This is what I can do when I'm here physically on this planet.
• 22:29
  SPEAKER_01: And so therefore it's good and important for me to go.
• 22:32
  SPEAKER_01: Because when I go, I will send the Holy Spirit.
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_01: And when the Holy Spirit comes, he can be in each and every one of you, so I can be each and every one of you all over the world, and I can be active 24-7, reaching people all over the world, you know, uh through you.
• 22:54
  SPEAKER_01: 24-7 non-stop.
• 22:56
  SPEAKER_01: So I can be way more effective if I multiply myself within you.
• 23:01
  SPEAKER_01: You all became little Christs, you all became my copies.
• 23:05
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I expect you to become my copies, Ephesians 5:1, be my followers, be copies, you know, as as beloved children copy their fathers, imitate them and follow him and then do example, do what I did, you know, the works that I do, you shall do also in greater works than these, because I go to my father.
• 23:22
  SPEAKER_01: You know, and Jesus gives us so much uh, you know, uh commands and instructions to go out and preach the gospel of the good news of the gospel.
• 23:30
  SPEAKER_01: And so he says that it's important for me to go because when I go, I can be in all of you afterwards, you know, through the Holy Spirit.
• 23:37
  SPEAKER_01: John 14, 17 says that the Holy Spirit will be with us and within us for eternity.
• 23:42
  SPEAKER_01: Jesus says in John 14, 23, Me and my Father will come and dwell inside of you.
• 23:46
  SPEAKER_01: The kingdom of God is within you.
• 23:48
  SPEAKER_01: Luke 17, 21, you know, therefore go, you know, if you call me your Lord and do what I say, you go, and you know, and I can be in you all over the world and make a difference and an impact.
• 23:59
  SPEAKER_01: And so, you know, that's why we are discipling and equipping other people to also go and do exactly the same as what we are doing, because I can do only so much, you can only do so much.
• 24:09
  SPEAKER_01: But man, if we only would already start to do what we can do, if we already would do what God called us to do ourselves, that would already be a huge win, and you will see a massive revival and a massive, you know, harvest come to pass if we all start to rise up and preach the gospel of the kingdom and win souls for Jesus and understand the need of soul winning.
• 24:31
  SPEAKER_01: You know, if we already, if we all got this compassion, you know, that we have for the lost as Jesus had because we have received his heart, that would we already win?
• 24:39
  SPEAKER_01: And then imagine if we start to disciple and teach others to do, to go and do exactly the same, and so therefore multiplying yourself, God is in the multiplication, and you multiply yourself and they start to do what you are doing.
• 24:52
  SPEAKER_01: Can you imagine the impact?
• 24:53
  SPEAKER_01: Can you imagine the tsunami of you know revival that we will cause in this world?
• 24:59
  SPEAKER_01: Can you imagine the strength that we would have all together when we join hands, you know, and just walk out this great commission, this calling that He has given us?
• 25:09
  SPEAKER_01: Man, we we have been called to make a difference.
• 25:12
  SPEAKER_01: We have been called, you know, um, to win those people that are now in darkness and don't know that they need salvation, they don't know that they are seeking for God, they don't know that they are lost in darkness.
• 25:26
  SPEAKER_01: And you are an ambassador of the kingdom of God, an ambassador of Christ, and you can tell them the good news, and that's why it's important, and there is a real need for you to go out and do that.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 25:38
  SPEAKER_01: Man, I've shared a lot, and there's a lot to think on and a lot to pray on, you know, and I really pray it's blessed you.
• 25:45
  SPEAKER_01: And the next episode I will share, you know, the concept that God has given me, you know, to win those non-believers, because man, that had been in huge prayer requests of mine, and the Lord has answered, you know, and so and it's really successful, and I really believe that you can also apply those uh things.
• 26:03
  SPEAKER_01: And so I really hope to see you back in a new episode.
