SPEAKER_00: It's okay to have fun in church, yeah?
0:24
SPEAKER_00: You know that, right?
0:25
SPEAKER_00: Church shouldn't be endured.
0:29
SPEAKER_00: It's meant to be enjoyed.
0:39
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I've met some people that become Christians.
0:45
SPEAKER_00: They were amazing and the public.
0:48
SPEAKER_00: And then they become a Christian.
0:54
SPEAKER_00: You should become a Christian too.
0:59
SPEAKER_00: No, no, we're meant to have fun, amen.
1:02
SPEAKER_00: Oh, come on, we're meant to have some fun in the morning.
1:05
SPEAKER_00: I know it's early in the morning.
1:07
SPEAKER_00: But I want to wake some of you up in Jesus.
1:16
SPEAKER_00: Amen.
1:17
SPEAKER_00: We should praise Him and what we're saying.
1:21
SPEAKER_00: Blessed be the name of the Lord.
1:24
SPEAKER_00: Lord, we thank you for your presence.
1:27
SPEAKER_00: I am so grateful that you are here amongst us again.
1:33
SPEAKER_00: I don't invite you into this auditory.
1:36
SPEAKER_00: Because it's weird and it's strange.
1:39
SPEAKER_00: To invite somebody that is already in the room.
1:43
SPEAKER_00: So I just want to acknowledge your presence.
1:48
SPEAKER_00: I pray, Lord, that you help all of us to receive something from your word.
1:59
SPEAKER_00: Amen.
2:01
SPEAKER_00: I want to speak to you this morning about being an agent of change.
2:08
SPEAKER_00: An agent of transformation that God wants to use our lives so that we can change the world.
2:26
SPEAKER_00: That's the primary thing that we build a relationship with Him.
2:32
SPEAKER_00: That we learn about His heart.
2:39
SPEAKER_00: And we live in this relationship with Him.
2:43
SPEAKER_00: But out of that relationship there is a plan and purpose that God has that He wants to take our lives and use them in such a way that it can change a city and even the nations of the world.
3:03
SPEAKER_00: So God has called each and everyone to be agents of God Agents of Two Agents of Transformation.
3:12
SPEAKER_00: That's the purpose of God.
3:39
SPEAKER_00: That is to show the world who Jesus really is Jesus.
3:43
SPEAKER_00: Because the truth is, I've been to this nation many times like a lot of times now.
3:53
SPEAKER_00: And I understand Brazil is steeped in Catholicism.
4:09
SPEAKER_00: So what the church needs is what's happening in this house is that people are coming alive is that people are viewed enxergar quem realmente and we walk into the world and show the world and later quem Jesus is.
4:50
SPEAKER_00: Because we're talking about Jesus.
5:10
SPEAKER_00: Does that make sense?
5:12
SPEAKER_00: Because Jesus lives in you.
5:17
SPEAKER_00: And so God has called us to be agents of Jesus.
5:22
SPEAKER_00: You may say, How do you know, preacher?
5:25
SPEAKER_00: How do you know this is true?
5:27
SPEAKER_00: I'm glad you asked.
5:37
SPEAKER_00: You are the light of the world.
5:40
SPEAKER_00: Isn't that beautiful?
5:42
SPEAKER_00: So Jesus makes this statement of truth.
5:46
SPEAKER_00: He says you are the salt of the world.
5:57
SPEAKER_00: The salt has influence.
6:02
SPEAKER_00: Oh, glory to Deus.
6:04
SPEAKER_00: Churrasco deal.
6:06
SPEAKER_00: Best meat in the world is in this country.
6:09
SPEAKER_00: The best meat in the world is from this nation.
6:13
SPEAKER_00: But you look at the meat.
6:14
SPEAKER_00: But press attention to the carne.
6:16
SPEAKER_00: It has a lot of salt in it.
6:18
SPEAKER_00: How good is it?
6:19
SPEAKER_00: It's both, now, does anyone like churrasco?
6:22
SPEAKER_00: I mean, how good is it?
6:25
SPEAKER_00: Take the salt out of it.
6:27
SPEAKER_00: It's not as good.
6:29
SPEAKER_00: Salt brings flavour to things.
6:34
SPEAKER_00: If you think about light, because Jesus just doesn't call us soul.
6:39
SPEAKER_00: He says you are also light.
6:45
SPEAKER_00: If the lights were to all go, the darkness is dominating the atmosphere.
6:52
SPEAKER_00: But all you need, is hit a phone light like this, and the darkness that is prevailing, the minute somebody turns the light, that darkness that was dominating the atmosphere is now dissipated.
7:15
SPEAKER_00: It will disappear.
7:17
SPEAKER_00: Why?
7:18
SPEAKER_00: Because light always dominates dark.
7:25
SPEAKER_00: And Jesus says this.
7:29
SPEAKER_00: So if you ask me, how do you know God wants to be a darkness?
7:35
SPEAKER_00: If you look at the world right here, it's in a very dark state.
7:40
SPEAKER_00: And I understand Brazil just had an election.
7:47
SPEAKER_00: You've now got to go vote again.
7:53
SPEAKER_00: But all it needs is a bit of light.
7:56
SPEAKER_00: And as a matter of fact, light is at its most potent.
8:03
SPEAKER_00: When it's in the dark.
8:05
SPEAKER_00: Light is no good in the light.
8:15
SPEAKER_00: We need to be in church.
8:28
SPEAKER_00: But if all we did was stay here, showing each other our lights.
9:15
SPEAKER_00: What do you want to be when you grow up?
9:18
SPEAKER_00: I've got three kids.
9:20
SPEAKER_00: They're older now.
9:25
SPEAKER_00: When he was five, what do you want to be when you grow up?
9:31
SPEAKER_00: And Joel looked at me.
9:33
SPEAKER_00: He said, Dad, I want to be like Spider-Man.
9:36
SPEAKER_00: I want to be like Batman.
9:39
SPEAKER_00: Dad, I want to be like Superman.
9:42
SPEAKER_00: That's cool, he wears his undies on the outside.
9:47
SPEAKER_00: But he's pretty cool.
9:48
SPEAKER_00: But it got me thinking about that.
9:51
SPEAKER_00: What was he really saying?
9:53
SPEAKER_00: What's Joel actually saying?
9:56
SPEAKER_00: What he's saying is this is he wants to do something great with his change the world.
10:03
SPEAKER_00: Now we know these characters aren't real.
10:15
SPEAKER_00: It's the same for us.
10:17
SPEAKER_00: But something happens as we grow a little bit older.
10:27
SPEAKER_00: And nothing's impossible to do it.
10:29
SPEAKER_00: But we get a little bit older.
10:35
SPEAKER_00: Maybe what somebody has said to us.
10:50
SPEAKER_00: But I've come all the way from Australia to tell a few people that the purpose and the will of God still wants to take your life and use it in such a way that He will influence the world that the world can see the grace of the world.
11:30
SPEAKER_00: So now I'm just gonna give you a couple of things.
11:40
SPEAKER_00: How do we live this way?
11:54
SPEAKER_00: Because the truth is God has already done everything.
11:59
SPEAKER_00: Jesus gave his life for us.
12:02
SPEAKER_00: There are certain things we have to do, amen.
12:06
SPEAKER_00: So I'm gonna give you some today.
12:11
SPEAKER_00: The first one is this guard your heart.
12:17
SPEAKER_00: If you want to live as an agent of transformation, you're gonna have to protect your heart.
12:45
SPEAKER_00: It says above all else, guard your heart, protege.
12:51
SPEAKER_00: And then the Bible tells us why.
12:54
SPEAKER_00: Isn't that cool?
12:56
SPEAKER_00: The Bible is really simple.
12:58
SPEAKER_00: It's not that complicated.
13:00
SPEAKER_00: We can make it very complicated.
13:04
SPEAKER_00: But when you start really reading the word of God, it says above everything you do, guard your hearts, and then it explains why we have to guard our hearts.
13:18
SPEAKER_00: Because out of it flows the issues of life.
13:24
SPEAKER_00: So the Bible says protect your hearts.
13:29
SPEAKER_00: In the New King James Version.
13:44
SPEAKER_00: So when it comes to being an agent of change, whatever is going on in the inside of you will eventually come out.
13:59
SPEAKER_00: Does this make sense?
14:01
SPEAKER_00: So if we live with insecurity in our lives, if we allow fear to grip us, out of the heart of our issues that we have inside of us will eventually come back, it's unstoppable.
14:22
SPEAKER_00: Some things take weeks, some things can take years, and literally it can be decades.
14:33
SPEAKER_00: You and I can be assured of this that whatever is happening on the inside eventually comes out on the outside.
14:42
SPEAKER_00: And it's interesting as human beings.
14:55
SPEAKER_00: But what the Bible is saying here is we have to protect our people because no matter what the world sees, even if we're in church every week, no matter what the pastor maybe, whatever's happening on the inside will eventually come out of us.
15:17
SPEAKER_00: So the Bible says guard your heart protect your heart.
15:22
SPEAKER_00: Because if you want to live as an agent of the world, you've got to understand that you've got to look after this, let me tell you what a God does.
15:41
SPEAKER_00: I don't know, has anybody been to Singapore?
15:43
SPEAKER_00: It's a magnificent nation.
15:46
SPEAKER_00: It's one of my first trips.
16:03
SPEAKER_00: There's a whole lot of lights, but you have to understand it's on a tiny little island.
16:14
SPEAKER_00: So literally, the nation of Singapore and underground.
16:23
SPEAKER_00: There is no land available.
16:27
SPEAKER_00: And so I'm excited.
16:31
SPEAKER_00: Wow, look at this.
16:32
SPEAKER_00: And as I walk down the road, I look over to my left, and there's a very large driveway.
16:48
SPEAKER_00: And I look up into the distance.
16:51
SPEAKER_00: And there's a big huge gate with two security guards.
16:56
SPEAKER_00: And they have guns that are strapped to their chests.
17:06
SPEAKER_00: But I'm really inquisitive by nature.
17:12
SPEAKER_00: And so I walked up the driveway.
17:17
SPEAKER_00: And I start to say to them this Who lives here?
17:22
SPEAKER_00: What's behind the gates?
17:24
SPEAKER_00: And they're like, Why do you want to know?
17:26
SPEAKER_00: Yes, and I said, Listen, I want to come in today.
17:33
SPEAKER_00: And they're like, Do you have an appointment?
17:38
SPEAKER_00: But I want to come in.
17:40
SPEAKER_00: They said, You can't come in.
17:42
SPEAKER_00: You need to have an appointment.
17:46
SPEAKER_00: But I can see they're getting a bit angry.
17:49
SPEAKER_00: And they've got guns.
17:55
SPEAKER_00: So they would not let me in.
17:57
SPEAKER_00: So I walked down the driveway.
17:59
SPEAKER_00: Started walking back up the street.
18:01
SPEAKER_00: And I feel the Holy Spirit speak to me.
18:05
SPEAKER_00: Not audibly, just in my heart.
18:08
SPEAKER_00: A little side note.
18:13
SPEAKER_00: At any time.
18:15
SPEAKER_00: Any place.
18:16
SPEAKER_00: Anywhere.
18:17
SPEAKER_00: He doesn't just speak to preachers or Lord.
18:20
SPEAKER_00: He speaks to anyone.
18:22
SPEAKER_00: He speaks to any of us.
18:23
SPEAKER_00: But often we just don't listen.
18:26
SPEAKER_00: But this one particular day I heard the voice of the Holy Spirit.
18:30
SPEAKER_00: And he said to me this What is the job of those guards?
18:35
SPEAKER_00: And I didn't realize at first.
18:38
SPEAKER_00: And I kept walking and thinking about this.
18:41
SPEAKER_00: And then it was revealed to me.
18:45
SPEAKER_00: Those guards that day had two jobs.
18:50
SPEAKER_00: Just two jobs.
18:51
SPEAKER_00: Their first job was to keep the wrong people from coming in.
18:58
SPEAKER_00: In this case, I was the wrong person.
19:03
SPEAKER_00: I had no appointments.
19:07
SPEAKER_00: So they were guarding the place.
19:10
SPEAKER_00: Their second job is they have to allow the right people in.
19:15
SPEAKER_00: The people that have the appointments.
19:20
SPEAKER_00: So when the Bible says this, protect your heart, guard your heart, guard out of it flows the issues of life.
19:31
SPEAKER_00: You've got to protect it from the wrong things coming into it.
19:41
SPEAKER_00: But you've also got to allow the right to it.
20:35
SPEAKER_00: But I've also got to allow the right things.
20:53
SPEAKER_00: In Jesus' name.
20:55
SPEAKER_00: The second thing is this.
20:57
SPEAKER_00: What we do, our actions, our matter.
21:03
SPEAKER_00: What you and I do with the word of God when it comes to our actions.
21:18
SPEAKER_00: Faith without works with objects is morta.
21:21
SPEAKER_00: But works without faith.
21:25
SPEAKER_00: These two things are inseparable.
21:33
SPEAKER_00: Just like you can't separate truth and grace.
21:40
SPEAKER_00: But it has to be done in grace.
21:43
SPEAKER_00: If you try and separate these things, it's no good, it's just like faith and works.
21:50
SPEAKER_00: These things are married.
21:54
SPEAKER_00: But when you think about our lives, that what we do with the word of God when it comes to living as an agent of children.
22:21
SPEAKER_00: Did anyone play the game Follow the Leader?
22:26
SPEAKER_00: Did you guys play Follow the Leader as well?
22:31
SPEAKER_00: Anyone?
22:31
SPEAKER_00: Nobody played that game in Brazil.
22:34
SPEAKER_00: You're all looking very shy.
22:35
SPEAKER_00: I mean, give me a wave if you've played that game.
22:41
SPEAKER_00: You translate what you want to translate.
22:43
SPEAKER_00: Oh, oh, oh.
22:45
SPEAKER_00: Okay, Sigle Master.
22:46
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, give me a wave.
22:47
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
22:48
SPEAKER_00: In Australia, we call it follow the leader.
22:51
SPEAKER_00: In Australia, so we would all get in a line as students.
22:59
SPEAKER_00: There could be 10 students behind him.
23:03
SPEAKER_00: If Pedro jumped, we all jumped.
23:07
SPEAKER_00: If Pedro skipped, we all skipped.
23:13
SPEAKER_00: If Pedro crawled, we all crawled.
23:17
SPEAKER_00: Whatever Pedro did, we all did.
23:22
SPEAKER_00: Why?
23:22
SPEAKER_00: It was called follow the leader.
23:25
SPEAKER_00: So whatever the leader did.
23:29
SPEAKER_00: We all did the same thing.
23:31
SPEAKER_00: Did you guys play uh Simon says?
23:35
SPEAKER_00: Give me a wave if you played the letter.
23:39
SPEAKER_00: We played that in Australia.
23:41
SPEAKER_00: Simon DC.
23:42
SPEAKER_00: Let's have a go right now.
23:44
SPEAKER_00: You want to play Simon says right now?
23:47
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
23:48
SPEAKER_00: Simon says, put your hands on your head.
23:50
SPEAKER_00: Simon says, put your money on your cabinet.
23:52
SPEAKER_00: Simon says, put your hands on your knees.
23:54
SPEAKER_00: Simon says, Point your hand on your joeless.
23:56
SPEAKER_00: Simon says, put your hands on your shoulder.
23:59
SPEAKER_00: Put your hands on your knees.
24:02
SPEAKER_00: Wow, gone, gone, gone.
24:05
SPEAKER_00: Simon didn't say.
24:19
SPEAKER_00: You're like, no, let's keep playing the game, preacher.
24:23
SPEAKER_00: I like this preacher.
24:24
SPEAKER_00: Let's keep playing.
24:26
SPEAKER_00: You see, you do what Simon says.
24:30
SPEAKER_00: If Simon didn't say it, you don't do it.
24:34
SPEAKER_00: It's like I have three children.
24:35
SPEAKER_00: For example, I have three kids.
24:36
SPEAKER_00: Like I have three kids, right?
24:37
SPEAKER_00: Three.
24:38
SPEAKER_00: My oldest daughter.
24:41
SPEAKER_00: Imagine if she I came to her.
24:44
SPEAKER_00: And I said, Esther, go and clean your room.
24:48
SPEAKER_00: And Esther disappears for about an hour.
24:51
SPEAKER_00: She goes to her room.
24:53
SPEAKER_00: She comes back about an hour later.
24:58
SPEAKER_00: And she says to me I looked around my room and I thought about it.
25:04
SPEAKER_00: I thought, what would it look like if my room was clean?
25:08
SPEAKER_00: And I say to her, Did you clean it?
25:11
SPEAKER_00: She says, No, no, Dad, I thought about it.
25:14
SPEAKER_00: I pictured things where they would be and visualize.
25:17
SPEAKER_00: My clothes being hung up and how many know that as her father, I'm gonna say to her Go back to your room and clean it.
25:29
SPEAKER_00: Now imagine if another hour and a half later a whole bunch of her friends have been walking in our house.
25:39
SPEAKER_00: She comes back to me an hour and a half later and she says, Hey Dad! I don't know if you noticed, but some of my friends have come in today.
25:52
SPEAKER_00: And I just want you to know, Dad, that we did a study together about what it looked like if my room was clean.
26:01
SPEAKER_00: We all talked about it together.
26:04
SPEAKER_00: We discussed what it was gonna look like.
26:06
SPEAKER_00: They gave their opinion, I gave my opinion and we had a good discussion.
26:12
SPEAKER_00: We had a good study what it would look like if my room was cool.
26:22
SPEAKER_00: Imagine if she comes back another hour and a half and she says, Dad, I want you to know something.
26:28
SPEAKER_00: I heard you tell me to clean the room.
26:31
SPEAKER_00: But I need you to know I've also studied it in the Greek and Hebrew what it's gonna look like if my room is.
26:40
SPEAKER_00: And Dad, it's pretty amazing.
26:42
SPEAKER_00: But when you understand the Hebrew Greek, what it's gonna look more real.
26:48
SPEAKER_00: How many know as her dad?
26:51
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna get frustrated and maybe give her a little bit of a smack and tell her to go back to her and clean the room.
27:01
SPEAKER_00: Why?
27:02
SPEAKER_00: Because I've asked her.
27:04
SPEAKER_00: Did you know sometimes in the church we can be like that with Jesus?
27:10
SPEAKER_00: We can be like that with God and we go away and we do nothing about it.
27:19
SPEAKER_00: But God says to us Don't be hearers only of the word, we must be doers of the word because here's the truth for you today.
27:30
SPEAKER_00: There is power in the word of God.
27:34
SPEAKER_00: But did you know the power of God only flows in our lives in our lives when there is application to the word you understand this is a phone, right?
27:53
SPEAKER_00: It's got the Bible in it.
27:54
SPEAKER_00: If all I did was hold the Bible and I just read the Bible and then I put it down and I didn't do anything that the word says, it's just another book.
28:06
SPEAKER_00: There's no power in it.
28:08
SPEAKER_00: Because the power flows when there is application.
28:13
SPEAKER_00: When we do what the word of God is saying to us, then we see the power of God.
28:23
SPEAKER_00: It's one of my favourite words.
28:39
SPEAKER_00: I'm getting a little bit off.
28:42
SPEAKER_00: You say when you apply the word, the poder starts to flow to flow.
28:51
SPEAKER_00: It starts to change our life.
28:54
SPEAKER_00: But if we're just hearers own words, it becomes boring.
28:59
SPEAKER_00: It's just another book.
29:02
SPEAKER_00: But when you when you start living it out, it becomes alive.
29:27
SPEAKER_00: And there's another great story in John chapter 11.
29:41
SPEAKER_00: But a little while ago, I was reading both these scriptures.
29:45
SPEAKER_00: And the Holy Spirit said something to me again.
29:48
SPEAKER_00: He said, Can you see the difference between these two stories?
29:52
SPEAKER_00: And you know God asks questions.
29:55
SPEAKER_00: The only reason he's asking is not because he wants to know.
30:14
SPEAKER_00: So he's not asking me this question because he wants me to tell him to him.
30:22
SPEAKER_00: And he asked me, Can you see the difference?
30:24
SPEAKER_00: And I read Matthew 14, verse 28.
30:30
SPEAKER_00: Jesus says, Come, and it's an amazing story.
30:34
SPEAKER_00: Then I read John 11.
30:36
SPEAKER_00: A dead man coming to life.
30:39
SPEAKER_00: And I'm thinking to myself, God, are you stupid?
30:42
SPEAKER_00: Can't you see the difference?
30:44
SPEAKER_00: One's a guy walking on water, the other guy is a dead man.
30:48
SPEAKER_00: That's pretty obvious, God.
30:50
SPEAKER_00: But then I kept reading it.
30:52
SPEAKER_00: The Holy Spirit showed me something.
30:54
SPEAKER_00: And I want you to hear this.
30:56
SPEAKER_00: You see, when Jesus went to that tombstone that day, there was a whole lot of tombstones.
31:04
SPEAKER_00: But when Jesus got there, you can read it, John chapter 11.
31:08
SPEAKER_00: He calls out Lazarus.
31:11
SPEAKER_00: He says, Come forth! The Bible tells us this dude who was dead gets out of the grave and starts to walk alive and Jesus calls out his name.
31:26
SPEAKER_00: And the Lord showed me in Matthew 14, verse 28.
31:37
SPEAKER_00: If it is you, Lord, Jesus says something, and this is what I want you to hear.
31:46
SPEAKER_00: He said, Come.
31:51
SPEAKER_00: Think about this for a minute.
31:53
SPEAKER_00: Jesus did not say Peter.
31:57
SPEAKER_00: Because if he named Peter, but Jesus said one word and said come and follow and only Peter chose.
32:13
SPEAKER_00: And I believe this with all my heart.
32:19
SPEAKER_00: But only one chose.
32:28
SPEAKER_00: It has power in it when we step out on the word.
32:39
SPEAKER_00: You think about those disciples.
32:47
SPEAKER_00: They're just mates.
32:49
SPEAKER_00: Imagine if Peter's there saying, Oh dude, is that Jesus?
32:54
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna walk out on the water.
32:57
SPEAKER_00: Imagine the other disciples.
33:03
SPEAKER_00: You're probably gonna drown, Peter.
33:05
SPEAKER_00: Imagine Thomas.
33:07
SPEAKER_00: He's always doubting everything.
33:09
SPEAKER_00: Oh Peter, how do you know that's Jesus?
33:14
SPEAKER_00: I wouldn't do this, Peter, if I was you.
33:25
SPEAKER_00: Because Jesus came was enough for Jesus to walk on water.
33:33
SPEAKER_00: Now I know he's sunk.
33:35
SPEAKER_00: And there's a thousand messages on YouTube.
33:43
SPEAKER_00: The point I want to make is this is that when you step out on the word of God, the power of God's word starts to live in our lives.
33:53
SPEAKER_00: So when it comes to being an agent of change, we gotta be doers of the worders.
34:03
SPEAKER_00: My last thing is this, and I'm done.
34:10
SPEAKER_00: If you want to be an agent of change, we gotta guard our hearts and protect it.
34:18
SPEAKER_00: If we want to be an agent of change, what we do matters.
34:23
SPEAKER_00: What we do when it comes to applying the word matter in the name of Jesus.
34:32
SPEAKER_00: Can you all say availability?
34:38
SPEAKER_00: God is not interested in your ability.
34:59
SPEAKER_00: 1 Samuel chapter 3.
35:04
SPEAKER_00: It's a story about an old man of God called Eli.
35:12
SPEAKER_00: Samuel's just a boy at this point in the morning.
35:15
SPEAKER_00: And God speaks to Samuel.
35:21
SPEAKER_00: So the little boy jumps out of bed.
35:26
SPEAKER_00: He says, Eli, I'm here.
35:28
SPEAKER_00: Eli says, I didn't call you, Samuel.
35:31
SPEAKER_00: Go back to bed.
35:32
SPEAKER_00: Samuel lays down.
35:34
SPEAKER_00: God speaks to him again.
35:36
SPEAKER_00: Samuel runs back to Eli.
35:39
SPEAKER_00: Eli says, Dude, I didn't call you.
35:42
SPEAKER_00: Go back to bed.
35:43
SPEAKER_00: This happens three times.
35:46
SPEAKER_00: And eventually the man of God, Eli.
35:49
SPEAKER_00: He realizes that God is speaking to him.
35:53
SPEAKER_00: And he says to Samuel, Samuel goes back.
36:02
SPEAKER_00: And he says, I'm here.
36:03
SPEAKER_00: He says, when it comes to our lives, God's not interested in our ability.
36:09
SPEAKER_00: He just wants our availability.
36:11
SPEAKER_00: When you make your life available for us, it's incredible what he does with us.
36:28
SPEAKER_00: He's not looking for the richest among us.
36:31
SPEAKER_00: He just says, listen, if you make your life available, if you expose your heart to me, God has this way of taking out the world using it as this agent of money and using this agent of the world.
36:50
SPEAKER_00: Because in the world's mentality, the world likes to use the best of the best.
36:59
SPEAKER_00: But in God's economy of Deus make ourselves available.
37:05
SPEAKER_00: And then God pours out his grace all over us.
37:17
SPEAKER_00: In such an incredible way where not only does it blow our minds, but it starts to change the world.
37:57
SPEAKER_00: When I met my wife, she was my girlfriend, I started to fall in love.
38:03
SPEAKER_00: I had a whole bunch of good friends.
38:05
SPEAKER_00: But man, I was not really interested in hanging out with them.
38:10
SPEAKER_00: I wanted to hang out with her at any moment.
38:16
SPEAKER_00: And it was crazy.
38:20
SPEAKER_00: I just wanted to be with her.
38:21
SPEAKER_00: It didn't really matter what everyone else was doing.
38:27
SPEAKER_00: Her and I would hang out all day.
38:33
SPEAKER_00: We'd hang out all day.
38:35
SPEAKER_00: And this is when mobile phones weren't around.
38:43
SPEAKER_00: And I'd ring her up on the landline.
38:46
SPEAKER_00: Does anyone remember a landline on the wall?
38:51
SPEAKER_00: Pick up the phone.
38:53
SPEAKER_00: I just spent all day with her.
38:55
SPEAKER_00: I'd ring her up and say, Hey babe.
38:59
SPEAKER_00: And she's like, dude, I just got home.
39:01
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but what are you doing?
39:03
SPEAKER_00: And we would start talking for ages.
39:06
SPEAKER_00: We would be hanging out again on the phone.
39:09
SPEAKER_00: I was making myself available.
39:11
SPEAKER_00: And then at the end of the phone call, you hang up.
39:15
SPEAKER_00: No, no, you hang up first.
39:17
SPEAKER_00: Oh no, if you hang up, you go first.
39:24
SPEAKER_00: You ever seen young couples in love?
39:34
SPEAKER_00: They just want to be with each other.
39:41
SPEAKER_00: But you see, when it comes to God's will and it comes to his purpose of Deus and the reality and the truth that God wants to use our lives that we can transform the world.
39:55
SPEAKER_00: We have to live in such a way that we make ourselves available to God.
40:05
SPEAKER_00: There's no smoke machine.
40:07
SPEAKER_00: There's no beautiful lead lighting.
40:10
SPEAKER_00: There's no fantastic keyboard.
40:15
SPEAKER_00: Maybe in a car and we make ourselves available.
40:23
SPEAKER_00: Don't get me wrong.
40:30
SPEAKER_00: But this is the only place you're going to be very limited in the potential you have to change this world.
40:45
SPEAKER_00: Where we make ourselves available just like I did with my wife.
40:51
SPEAKER_00: Just like I do now with my wife.
40:54
SPEAKER_00: But my primary relationship is with King Jesus.
41:02
SPEAKER_00: And I say, God, here I'm here.
41:07
SPEAKER_00: God, I want to change this world.
41:09
SPEAKER_00: I want to be an agent of change.
41:12
SPEAKER_00: This is the will of God for all of us.
41:14
SPEAKER_00: In Jesus' mighty name.
