9005--Harry Greenwood--God's Kingdom_128k
00:00:00 Speaker: Father, we want you now to take us beyond our reason and our ability to reason and reveal to our spirits right now exactly what we need this night to go deeper with you, Lord. Come deeper into the provision of God, into the knowledge of it, into the experience of it that we might be better equipped to face tomorrow. In Jesus precious name, Amen. There are so many things I'd love to minister, but I've got to set my face as a flint and stick to it, which is quite a change for me now. Traveling the world, you get an opportunity to see Christian fellowships at different stages of spiritual growth. You also get an opportunity to see what God is doing in evangelism, and you also get an opportunity to discern what the enemy is doing as well. And you get to understand that there is a real panic in hell at the moment. There's no panic in heaven. God is right up to date in everything he's doing, and he can't see anything to prevent him doing all that he desires to do. But the devil has a problem there. You see, the church has come alive in the past. That was to the in because of the charismatic movement, come alive spiritually to what God said. They really come alive to who God said they really were. That they were actually sons, his sons, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. And then through much teaching, through quite a long, a long period, many, many wonderful people have come into the knowledge of so much of the provision of God. And they thought that they could get everything by the knowledge of it. But you don't. You see anything that is spiritual? You don't get it by the knowledge of it. You get it by the experience. So experience is very vital. It's wonderful to know the truth, but is it true in our experience? And so then we've come to this day, and in many countries, the charismatic movement has gone to earth and been buried. And some people have said, good night to it, and God is moving on. God is moving on, and God is in the building business at the moment. He's building his church, not anyone else's, but his church. And you'll find his church in every denomination. But he is building us up in our most holy faith, and we are building ourselves up also in the Holy Ghost, in our most holy faith, praying in the spirit. But there's a building going on in individual lives, and there's a building going on also in the church. Lively stones. God putting people together. Amen. And he's got a cement which is cement to keep us together forever. And that's his love. And so there's a very precious building going up at the moment. And it's a holy temple where it's going to house the presence of God to a depth that if anybody comes in who is not in his presence or is not known to the Lord, they will be convicted, they will be converted, they will be filled with the spirit, they will be healed, and there will be no ministry necessary. They'll be stripped of everything they shouldn't have and clothed with everything that they should have. Amen. I believe that the church is going deeper now. In some countries. They want a bigger church, and that's all very wonderful. A bigger church, uh, you know, more people. But God is looking for quality, not quantity. He's looking for a depth in people and their relationship one with another, and most of all, their relationship with him. For it's out of our relationship with the Lord tonight. Can we have a depth of relationship with each other? Because the you can totally open up to the father, you can totally open up to him and be totally free to do so because you know he will not harm you, he will not hurt you, And he knows the worst about about you and loves you just the same. Amen. He loves you just the same. So God wants us to open up to him, and that is to give yourself to him. And I believe this is preparation for meetings. This is preparation for meeting your brother and sister at the beginning of every day. Now, in other words, God wants us. Before I come to my message. God wants us to take him seriously. God takes everything he says seriously, absolutely, seriously. He's totally committed to everything that he says. Though we are not totally committed to everything that he says. So it means then there must be a preparation every day in us. If we are growing. If you are growing, then you must be feeding that which is growing. We feed our faith, not our unbelief. And what you feed grows. If you feed your the love of God in you, that's by loving, then it grows and then fear is driven out by the love that is growing in its place. I believe that many people need inner healing. They need a depth of healing from relationships of the past and from rejection and other things. All that is taking place all the time in our relationship with Jesus, and it's out from that relationship that all other relationships are healed, that were wrong, that were hurtful, that were distasteful, whatever. They're being healed. So God showed me that throughout his body there was a great healing taking place. And God has said he would do nothing with the people that were not committed. He must have a committed people and that just didn't mean committed to him. That meant it to be committed to a place where they worship, where they can grow together, where there's a body which is living to not living stones, not tombstones. And I mean that. But as when they're committed there, then God can build them in together, because he told me this year and he said, the whole future of every individual lies in the body of Christ. It lies in the body, their commitment in that body. So I believe in the few days that we're going to be here, some of you will find your lives ordered in a new way, because in the Kingdom of God there is a divine order. There is an order for the home. There is an order for your physical body. There's an order for every single area of your life. And when you're under God's divine order, then everything else will start, will start to come into subjection to you when you are totally free from all things. Amen. When nothing holds you. Oh no. When no thing controls you, then you can control all things and you can be totally free. Now I believe that that's what God is doing. So he's building us now together. And it's lovely to be a family here from so many different backgrounds Anglicans, Methodists, Presbyterians, I'm sure Pentecostals and and some people who don't know what they are just Christians, maybe, and so forth from different backgrounds, different denominations. Well, God doesn't see any denominations, and I'm so glad of that. He doesn't say to you, come here. Your Methodist, you know, he talks to us as his children, as his sons. And that's very important for us to know that the moment you enter the kingdom of God, you lose any bondage of your denomination in the sense that you are totally free now to love the whole body of Christ. And your denomination won't get in the way of that. And that's very, very important, because the world has scoffed at us, because there's been no unity in the body of Christ, because we've all been got different labels. But now the charismatic movement did something for that. It lifted the lid off and allowed us all to look in to each other's lives and look into what God was doing in each in different bodies. And so Catholics and Protestants were meeting together and they're meeting under the the same umbrella that is the lordship of Jesus Christ. And we're keeping the unity of the spirit till he brings us all together. When the prophets come forth and the apostles come forth in their full ministry under the one vision and under the one revelation. Folks, we're going ahead as a body. Our whole future lies in the body of Christ financially and materially, totally spiritually and family wise. So get used to a body concept that is the ecclesia, the church, those that are called out, separated unto God. That's what you are. There's only one church and Jesus Christ is the head of that. And if you've got that together, you won't have any problems in between. So you won't have to kick anyone else or pull anything down or anything else. You can't join and leave his church. You're born again into it. Amen. You won't drop out accidentally. And I praise the Lord for that. I wanted to say that because it's very, very vital for you to understand my thinking on these matters, because I find myself in so many different denominations. I've ministered in Rome, the Vatican, Vatican Supply, uh, a wonderful building for international charismatics. And if I find charismatics, I minister to them because I'm a minister in the body of Christ. And I know that I'm a father in the body of Christ also, because I care wherever I go, as if it's my own fellowship. And many of you may already know that a few years back I took over the leadership of the fellowship in South Chard and and then in turn gave the leadership back to the eldership. So the eldership, um, I make the suggestions and and they make the decisions. And so they have grown. So we are now moving on in God also. And a lot of adjustments have to be made in fellowships and so forth for us to go on with God. So let's be open to change and that if the change is for the best, because God is in the changing business. If what you've got doesn't work, then I'd like to be changed. So it does, wouldn't you? So God is changing us. Not too much the structure, but when the life is there, the life automatically changes the structure. You don't change the structure to get the life. You change the life to get the structure. In the early church, they got the experience first and then the doctrine we have today, the doctrine trying to get the experience you can't get in head first. It's out of total desire. And what I said in the beginning of the meeting, so vital for everyone to believe that Jesus Christ is our special guest here tonight. I'm a nobody and I know it. Taking the Lord a long time to tell me that and show me. But in Christ Jesus I am so precious and I believe it. And I love myself in Christ outside. Nobody loves me. Right, darling? Now I'm going to read a few scriptures with you and we'll see where we go from there. Now, when the Lord Jesus Christ came, he did not find a kingdom on earth waiting for him. Israel had lost the kingdom because they had come from underneath the control of their God. And also they had ceased from obeying the word of the Lord. And so they were conquered and taken over and ruled by Rome. When the Lord Jesus Christ came, then he came unto his own, and his own received him not, but as many as received him. In John chapter one, verse twelve to them gave he the legal right the authority to become the sons of God. Now in Matthew twenty one, we'll start there Matthew twenty one. Verse forty three. Excuse me if some of you already know quite a bit about this foundation, but I have to lay it before I can go further on, and each night I'm going to build on it. So you may have to get all the tapes. If you can't get to all the meetings and do pray about coming to the meetings. And I know that nobody who is really taking God seriously would come to a meeting like this without praying for it first. Okay, I won't say any more. And if we know to be right with God, we should really come to the meeting right with God so we can really get on. Instead of going back and getting people out of the rut that they've got themselves into. Some people think they're groovy, but they're just in a rut. And so that means that we are praised up and prayed up. We have a responsibility when we come to a meeting, all of us. And that's the truth. I'd like you to take it with us. We'd love to minister to the fullness of what God has given us and has given us a lot, but we are very much restricted. We're not here, you know, to turn over people's machinery, general maintenance men, to do your homework. Right. You still love me. You're working on it. Okay, so we're not here to do that. Your homework. You do your own homework and then bring it to the meeting to have it corrected or confirmed. Right. Therefore, say I unto you. In verse forty three of Matthew chapter twenty one, the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation, bringing forth the fruits thereof. The kingdom of God shall be taken from you. Now if a kingdom can be taken from you, it can be given to you. If you can take something from someone, you can give it also so the kingdom can be taken from you. It can be given to you as well. But he's deliberately taking the kingdom from those that he came to bring the kingdom to. He's deliberately taking it from them because they've rejected the king. Now, you can't have the kingdom without the king. And even the world today is talking about kingdoms, the kingdoms of this earth and so forth. But there is one kingdom that is here present, that is invisible, and that is the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God is the very realm of God Himself. It's the realm of the spirit. It's the realm of life. The Kingdom of God. And the Kingdom of God is present here because we are living in the kingdom. Amen. We are living in the kingdom, and the King is living in us. Aren't you glad? Amen. Because he must have a building. And we are the only building in the kingdom. The church is not the kingdom. The church is in the kingdom. It's the only building. And when I go, go to India and places like that, there are so many temples around. And have you noticed all the isms today? You know, all the occult, the, the. Yeah, the cult. They've all got more, more or less got temples. Well, I'm just telling you this, there's one way to know where God is not. And that is in temples made with hands. God dwelleth not in temples made with hands. But we are individually the temple of the Holy Ghost, and we are built together in Ephesians, a holy temple unto God. We are the church. In other words, we are God's building. We're God's architecture on earth. Amen. Living stones built together. If you can get that concept, you've got it. Then we can move that aside. Now you are in the kingdom. Praise God! How do you get in there? That's obvious to those who are in. But for those who are present here tonight and would like to know how to get into the Kingdom of God, that's an eternal kingdom, an everlasting kingdom. It's the kingdom of God Himself. Amen. You're born again into the kingdom of God. Just like into this natural realm and to this natural world. You came into it by being born into it through a natural birth. You're therefore born again of the Spirit of God into the kingdom of God. You're born again of the spirit in John chapter three, verse three and five. If you must know, and just as you're born, naturally you become a natural person, a physical person, and so forth. So then when you're born spiritually, you become a spiritual person. You'll find that in verse six of John chapter three, for for he that is born of the spirit is spirit, and he that is born of the flesh is flesh. So therefore you have a totally new life when you're born again into the kingdom, because you have a heavenly Father whose seed is absolutely perfect. We are born again of incorruptible seed by the Word of God. Peter tells us, incorruptible, or as I say, quite often, indestructible seed by the Word of God. God is not the father of our bodies or our souls. He's the father of our spirits. And how much more should we give reverence and respect unto the father of spirits and live? You'll find that I believe in Hebrews chapter twelve, verse nine, so that he is the father of our spirits. We are born again of the Spirit of God. And so our unity with the father is through the son. And it's a spiritual unity in one Corinthians six seventeen. He that is joined to the Lord is one spirit is one spirit, one with the Lord, one with the father. As Jesus said, I and my father are one. So we are one with the Lord. And that's really tremendous. That is the highest relationship that you can have with any person a personal, spiritual, direct spiritual relationship with God, which the world doesn't know is two way communications, two way God speaking to us and we speaking to God. Now, this is hard for many, many Christians who have developed a natural communication with people both hearing and receiving. And to them personally, it is to see the person and to hear them, or to lift up the telephone and to hear the voice, and that is somebody speaking to them. But we have lost the ability down through the ages to hear God speak. And in the last days, God has shown me then that unless we can hear God speak today, unless God can communicate with us, there is so much going up to God. There's praise, there's worship, there's prayers, there's talking, there's communication, but there's so little. God said coming down because man has not learned to receive directly from God. He either receives through a preacher or through a tape or a book or whatever. But directly from God, God speaking to us directly. That is so vital because Jesus said, my sheep hear my voice. And if we're going to live in the kingdom of God, then we live by every single word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. Um, Jesus. For for Luke, for for the same verse, we live by the preceding word, not the written word, but by the preceding word. When the spirit comes on the written word, it becomes the preceding word. Otherwise, you've just got a set of rules and regulations and a dead letter. No, I believe this book is inspired from cover to cover. Don't look so worried. Yes, it doesn't contain the Lord's word. It is the Lord's word. Amen. You're feeling better now? But Jesus said, search the scriptures to the scribes and Pharisees and all the rest who are keeping the letter of the law and going beyond that into traditions and other other, um, uh, laws that they have invented themselves for their own benefit, he said. Search the scriptures, for in them you think you've got eternal life. Eternal life is not in the scriptures. It's in a person called Jesus Christ. And he is not the written word. He is the living word. That's the truth. The word was made flesh in John chapter one, verse fourteen, and dwelt amongst us, or as the Hebrews, the Hebrews. Sorry, not Greek. Greek, says he tabernacled amongst us, he tabernacled amongst us. So here we have the living Word walking around. He's walking around and he's preaching one message. He's preaching the message of the kingdom. He's telling people what is at hand, what is here. And I can imagine Jesus wanting to come back to a people to bring this wonderful message to them, and then to have them enter in by a born again experience or being converted into the kingdom of God. Matthew tells us in Matthew eighteen verse three, except ye be converted and become as little children, ye shall no wise enter the Kingdom of God. But no, they wouldn't have the king. They wouldn't have the message. So they didn't get the kingdom. And Jesus said, right now Israel, the kingdom is taken from you. God has given that kingdom to you. The And Israel was blessed of God, and God really blessed Israel in so many different ways. But they rejected the the Lord, and they would not follow him. And so they lost everything. Then who does the kingdom then belong to? Let's have a look first of all and see in Matthew eight, verse eleven and twelve, we're going to see who is cast out. The kingdom shall be taken from you and given to another. You must know who the kingdom belongs to. Now the kingdom has been given, and a lot of Christians don't know that it's been given. But first, before you can give the kingdom, you must cast out those that are in the that, that were or supposed supposingly who are there to inherit the kingdom of God. You've got to get rid of them altogether. And that's what Jesus did from that point of view, from that dimension. Alright. In in Matthew chapter eight, verse eleven and twelve, and I say unto you, that many shall come from the east and from the west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness, and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. They were entitled to the kingdom. They were entitled to all the benefits. They were entitled to everything that Jesus Christ came to them to give, came to give them. Because they were God's children, they were entitled to it. But by rejecting Jesus Christ, they rejected everything they were entitled to, and it was taken from them and given to a nation. The Bible said, it shall be given to a nation. Now who is this nation? It's no longer it's no longer a nation that Israel was a natural nation, but it's given now to a spiritual nation. And who are they? That that is us. Remember in one Peter two verse nine. We are a peculiar people. Some are more peculiar than others, and a holy nation. The Bible says, A holy nation, a holy nation that we should show forth. You know his praises. We're a holy nation, a royal priesthood, and a holy nation, a holy nation. So that's us. And we are supposed to bring forth the fruit of the kingdom, to show the whole world what it's like to live in the kingdom of God. Now in Luke chapter twelve, verse thirty two, if you'll follow me, have a look at chapter twelve and verse thirty two. I'm sure you're all familiar with this, but if you bear with me just a little. Luke twelve verse thirty two fear not, little flock, for it is the father's good pleasure to give unto you the kingdom. Fear not, little flock. It is the father's good pleasure to give unto you the kingdom on earth. We possess the kingdom. We. It is in our possession. That's the truth. It has been given to us. This is our inheritance in the kingdom. When Jesus Christ comes back. He's coming back for that kingdom. Amen. He's coming back for that kingdom and a whole lot of other things too, that will be manifested. But that kingdom is ours at this point. And if you look again in Daniel, when Daniel foresaw so many things, and in this particular chapter, if you do get a chance to read it when you get home, that's in chapter seven of Daniel. We're going to read just verse twenty seven. And the kingdom and dominion and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom and all dominion, all dominions shall serve and obey him. That means that he must reign until all enemies have been put underneath his foot feet. But that means he must reign. Then in his kingdom he must reign in his kingdom. And that's what he desires today for the church, the body of Christ. Okay. And you can also look at another verse, if you like. And that's verse eighteen. But the saints of the Most High shall take the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever. The saints of the Most High shall take and possess the kingdom. Now if you take and possess the kingdom, then you have the responsibility of preaching the last message. And that is not just the gospel, that is the gospel of the kingdom, the gospel of the kingdom. Let's have a look at that also in Matthew, just for a moment. You're all familiar with this, I'm sure if you're not, you're just getting a little homework done tonight on Earth. The kingdom belongs to us. When he comes back, he will be coming back. For a kingdom. Amen. When he. When he came to Israel, there was no kingdom for him. But when he comes back spiritually, Israel will have a kingdom established on this earth by the power of the Holy Ghost. Amen. Don't get excited. I'm doing it all for you. Now, John was sent beforehand to tell them and to encourage them to get themselves, uh, in other words, together for this great event, the coming of the Kingdom. And John was preaching in Matthew chapter three, verse two and saying, repent ye, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. It's nearby. It's at hand. It's not here, but it's nearby. Uh, also in Matthew chapter four, verse seventeen, Matthew four seventeen, Now Jesus has taken over the message from John to show that there is a connection. He's taken over the message, and he's now not going to just preach the kingdom, but he's going to demonstrate the kingdom. He's going to show you that it's not just at hand. It's in the midst. It's arrived. It arrives the kingdom with the king. And if the king is in you, wherever you go, the kingdom has arrived. The kingdom of God is with power and with authority. He does not arrive in anything less than the total power of the Holy Ghost, and the total authority of the King of Kings, Jesus Christ. The kingdom has to be advanced. That was the message of the kingdom opens up the doors of hell and everything else that have locked up all these people and blinded the minds of those who will not believe and allows us to enter in and bind the strong man first, because we have the authority to do so. Right. From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Tend now. Later on then we'll find how that message just changes a little bit. And here we go in verse twenty three of the same chapter. And Jesus went about all Galilee teaching in the synagogues. Now you don't teach the kingdom of God. You preach the kingdom of God. Is that true? You preach the kingdom he's teaching but preaching, and it's an amazing thing. Well, I've just thought of it actually, in the last chapter of acts, in the last verse, if you can keep your thumb or your finger or your hand or your foot, whatever in Matthew chapter four, and just turn over with me to the last chapter of acts, and we'll look at Paul in his own house in verse thirty of acts chapter twenty eight. And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came to him, preaching the kingdom of God, and listen, and teaching those things which concern the King or the Lord Jesus Christ with all confidence. No man forbidding him. Because when you're in the kingdom, you can then start preaching the kingdom of God. And that comes right into a man's thinking, into his life, into his demonstration of the power and the Holy Spirit of God against everything, against everything that Jesus Christ dealt with on Calvary. In other words, everything that God was against sickness, disease, sin, the whole lot, the kingdom of God is against. And the power of the Holy Spirit, when it's demonstrated, will be against everything that is against the Kingdom or what is not in the Kingdom. Amen. I'm glad there's no sickness in the kingdom, aren't you? You weren't born into a sick kingdom. With a hell. What is it called with? Never mind. We have it in Britain. What is it called? The Health Ministry. What do you. What? National health. Thank you darling. I never use it, so I've forgotten. I use his health. National health doesn't do a great deal for you. Just give you a lot of pills. But his health gives you one pill. The gospel gets rid of all the other pills. Don't encourage him. He loves it. And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching. Oh, sorry, I didn't read. Did I read in acts? No I didn't. Yes I did, preaching the kingdom. Sorry, I just got way late. Way late. Then I went back to England again when I should have stayed in New Zealand. And Jesus went about in Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom. Now here you've got the gospel of the kingdom. It's quite unusual, not just the gospel, but the gospel of the kingdom. And now see what follows. And healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease amongst the people. So straight afterwards, I believe it's in nine thirty five as well. Let's have a look. Matthew nine thirty five. Five. Jesus went about in the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease amongst the people. Now, you see, you can't preach the gospel of the Kingdom without a demonstration of the Holy Spirit. Is that true? Yes, I believe that's true. I think it's in. Where is it? It's in Matthew chapter twelve. Are you with me? Verse twenty eight. But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, now has the kingdom of God come unto you? There's the arrival, the kingdom, the gospel of the kingdom arise with the demonstration of the Holy Spirit to show you what is not in the kingdom. You start throwing out of people's lives. Sickness and disease and demons and everything else. There's nothing like that in the Kingdom of God. So it's tremendous. But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. It's not nigh now. It's now arrived, it's now arrived. And God showed me that in the last days there was one message that could penetrate every country, and that was the gospel of the kingdom, because it's in the demonstration of the Holy Spirit and the power. You can't preach the gospel of the kingdom unless you're baptized in the Holy Ghost. Sorry. That's true. You cannot do it without the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus didn't do it till he was filled with the Holy Spirit. And then he preached it. John preached. It was at hand. Jesus preached. It was now, right now. And praise the Lord for that. Let's have a look at further in Matthew in, in Matthew twenty four. And then we'll go on. Now this is the last message that's going to change the whole world. Believe you me, it will penetrate anywhere. It'll get you into India. Let me just explain what I mean. When I went to India. First of all, I found that we had a whole lot of evangelicals. And please don't misunderstand me. And there was no spirit at all present, no demonstration of the Holy Spirit, no manifestation whatsoever. They would just get them converted from one religion to another religion. And there was no life. They didn't expect any life. They were just escaping hell and getting heaven one day, but getting nothing on earth in between. Now that's the truth. And these people were very, very sincere, dedicated, more dedicated than anyone I've met. But they were a real pain in the neck. Excuse me, Lord, but I did find grace. I mean, I was with another another minister, and he was preaching with me at this big convention in Trivandrum, South India. And once I mentioned speaking in tongues, he would preach straight after me and say, do all speak in tongues and then go and take the opposite. If I preach on divine healing, he would say. Do all get healed. Look at Paul's thorn in the flesh. And he was just killing everything till eventually I just gave a little message whereby he couldn't give one afterwards. And but I did it in love. I just loved to do it now, I said to them, and I faced the whole of these people and and sometimes I always wonder what what I say, is it going to really get me into trouble? And I said, in this country, you've got thirty six million gods. Now, do you know why you've got so many gods? Because you haven't found the right one yet. Now I've come to introduce him. Now, first of all, he's a supernatural god and he does miracles. He cares about your body. He loves you personally, and he wants to come into your life and change it totally so that your life is worth living now. Because he's present here. I said, I want you to show you what he can do. You can't see him, but Jesus Christ is his representative. In him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. In Colossians two nine and verse ten. We are complete in him. I thought I'd just throw that in because you'd like it anyway. And I said, he is in the midst now. He is just the same yesterday, today and forever in Hebrews thirteen eight. That's what he says. Now he's here, present, and you can't see him, but you can see what he does. Now, I said, we have a person here. I saw him come in and was a young man, a young boy, and going to school. And I said he was walking on his big toe. His leg is about four and a half inches shorter than the other leg, just his big toe barely touching the ground. He's got one leg. I set him down in front of all those people. I didn't touch him. I said, Jesus Christ is present right now and look what he's doing. I never thought of praying or anything else like that. I just said, look what he's doing. And they looked at him and they saw that boys grow leg grow without me touching him or praying or doing anything. Four and a half inches, and the boy stood up and both legs were on the ground. I don't think he was on the ground, but both legs were on the ground and they were all astonished and amazed. And next day that boy went, went to school and he walked in like this. And his teacher had one look at him and fell on his knees and said, what happened? What happened? And the boy said, I was at a meeting last night and this is what Jesus has done. Oh, who is preaching? And he mentioned my name, and this guy ran, and the teacher left the school, just ran right out, ran all the way. I don't know how long, how far it was, and came knocking at the door. I let him in and he fell down. He said, pray for me. Pray for me. A skeptic, yes, but believe you me, after that he was no skeptic. I mean, what would you feel like if you had been teaching that boy for four years? And he walks in there both feet on the ground. What would you feel like? I'll tell you. He felt like there was a changed you with him, and he changed. And then I said to all the evangelicals, ministers, leaders and the whole lot, I want to see you all on Sunday morning. I said at a certain time I faced them all. And I said, now God wants all of you to be baptized in the Holy Spirit. I don't normally act like this and do this, but it was the only way. It didn't give him an option. God wants you all baptized in the Holy Spirit and your wives. So the other two missionaries, they took the wives away and in a few moments they were howling, singing and shouting and speaking in tongues, in between which I didn't mind, really. And then I prayed for those men and all of them. The whole of them. Every one of them were baptized in the Holy Ghost, speaking in other tongues, glorifying God. All of them. I didn't do no explaining. Not a thing. I said, God wants you to be baptized in the Holy Ghost. And they believed it because they've sort of a passive nature, you know. Yes, they agree with everything you say, though they're not really agreeing with it. Yes, yes, yes. But they're lovely. But you can't get anything done because they agree with you all the time. And so then they're filled with the Holy Spirit. And now we had a revolution on our hands. That was the we had the last meeting that night. And I said, right, there you go now. I called all the I asked all the sick to stand up. Praise the Lord. And the sick stood up. And I said, right off you go. Lay your hands on him and pray, and God will heal him. And for the next three months I was gone. But for the next three months I kept getting reports from that part of the country, from people still getting healed. People were getting healed from all around who could hear it on the loudspeakers, getting healed all over. When somebody believed that God healed the sick. And believe you me, there was no way to stop him. After that, God moved. And that's when I went back and we had that meeting of fifteen thousand and so forth. And even when I went into the stadium, as many of you, many of you know, do you know what they allowed they allowed to set up this great big tent and to try and set up a world record. Living in with Cobras. You might have read it in the papers. Some people have. The government allowed it because he was setting up a world record, and it would draw attention to the India and so forth, and living in with cobras in this great big glass petition, whatever it was, you know, box or thing, whatever. And we came into the stadium, great big stadium, because people had to sit on the ground and you saw a sea of faces as far as you could see, and this weird music and over a thousand odd people queuing up to see this guy, because Hindus will, will just queue up to, to see anything. It's something to see. They'll look at you, there'll be about an inch from your face. And if you can stand that, you'll get. You'll get through India. And look and see if you've got the same eyeballs as they've got eyeball to eyeball. Boy, if you can get past that, you're okay. And I got up on the platform when it was my turn. And we had all the all the churches united together. All of them. Every single church. United we have the salvation. Right down the army, right down the center where the Catholics and the Anglican Church. And I spoke at the Anglican Theological College and ministered there, and we had the whole works, all of all the churches united and Hallelujah! I said, right, we're not going to stand for this. In other words, I'm just going to pray and ask God to deal with that over there. So we just prayed and asked the Lord to deal with the situation. I came against it and and dealt with the powers of darkness and cut off the powers of darkness from having their way over there and all the rest, something, a prayer like that, and just said Amen. A little while later they slipped me a note and I read he has been bitten and he's now been taken to hospital. I don't believe we have to tolerate anything from the devil, and when we are preaching a message that's better than what they're doing down there, than we have to deal with them. I ask the Lord not to take his life. I don't want the man to be killed or anything else like that. That doesn't interest me, that sort of punishment. But in other words, he's just. I'm not going to have the devil who who is represented by a snake, a guy sitting, living in with a whole lot of snakes as a testimony. The devil would love to park at your back door and say, look what I can do, or park in your house for that matter. Look what I can do and you can't do anything about it. Well, I don't believe there's anything that the devil can do that God can't do something about. And I do. I believe anything that the devil starts. God is big enough to finish it his way and work it even better. You'll have to thank the devil sometimes for doing all the work beforehand, but he doesn't realize that all things are working together for our good because we love the Lord and we are called according to God's purpose in Romans eight twenty eight. And God has a bigger purpose for us than the devil has against us. So don't worry. What's against you? Who cares about what is against you when you know how much is for you? And you'll only know that in the Lord. And I praise God for that. If we realize the message that we've got will take us into any country. I was nearly stopped in that country. I was attacked in my kidneys. I was attacked in my my lungs. I was coughing up blood. And all the rest of it doesn't make a great deal of impression on me. But I walked up and down and I said, Lord, what do you want me to do? He said, fast, and I fast, and I spoke in tongues. And that hotel I was staying in was used by the this particular sect group of of the occult. They used it and had their conferences in there, and it was a stronghold of Satan. That whole hotel reeked. It was terrible. And my my air conditioning stopped. The only one that stopped. Everything stopped. Air conditioning stopped. The only one in the whole hotel stopped in my room, and it was really sweltering. And I walked up and down there and I just praised the Lord day and night. And I came in to Trivandrum in a healthy body. I've never had better lungs and I've never been healthier. Praise God. I prove this that you've got to be living in the gospel of the kingdom to preach it. The devil will stop you at the door before you get in, and any weakness in you, whatever area it's in, he'll attack it straight away. If you're in sin or you're into anything else, he'll attack that area straight away. You've got to become into every country pure. You've got to become in committed to the Lord and committed to the Body of Christ. You've got to love and be open to loving the body of Christ in a greater measure. Otherwise, you're going to be up against it. I cannot minister without the body of Christ. I have a whole lot of people. We have just called home a little while ago, and they're praying and we have quite a few things happen. One of our best men has just dropped dead and a heart attack, and somebody else died before. And a lot of dear people have died prematurely. And I've warned this country and other countries that so many people will die prematurely. And it is because we must have a revelation of health. We must listen to our bodies. Where are you going? Too far. I listen to my body. If you're eating too much, drinking too much, or whatever you're doing. Listen to your body. If you're overdoing it. If you're taxing it too much, if much. If you're not giving it sufficient rest, listen to your body. God will reveal to you what you're doing so that you keep your body in good shape and keep it before the Lord in good condition. Amen. And listen to your heart. And if you hear anything, then move your heart into the kingdom. Health. There's only one health in the kingdom. And that's the Lord Jesus Christ. Aren't you glad? Right. Now, I just want to just. Just say this then, and let's just have a look at Colossians chapter one, verse thirteen. Then we'll get on with the rest. I didn't read Matthew. I beg your pardon? My mistake. You're wrong. Matthew twenty four, verse fourteen. It's a habit of mine. But that's what I got my wife there for. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world, even New Zealand, for a witness, something they can see besides here. Unto all nations, every single nation nationally. I've been on Canada national television, and while I was on there, God gave me a word of knowledge. And I just broke in and I said, I got a word of knowledge. I said, there's a young lady who just switched on your television set. Okay. You're contemplating suicide is a matter of fact. You've just switched it on in the hope that it'll be something on there. You're looking for help. Call in. Not. We got her and a whole lot of other people as well. And just just in in Palmerston. You can check this. I said there's a girl in this meeting and you've hoarded pills and tablets and all the rest to put aside, because there is in the back of your mind there's this way of escape, of suicide and. God save that life. And he saved it on television. So what I'm saying is this in Canada, they're getting a message right over a national oh, over to the nation, a message, a message to the whole nation of the gospel of the Kingdom. And I bless the Lord for that in America and other countries as well. And the satellite has allowed other countries to have the gospel preached to them, and I believe it will be done to some extent until our liberty will be curtailed. But some American wanted to put this in every village in Africa where they could have a satellite up there, and they could tune straight in, um, because of the disk, and they could get right into that message that was going around the world. Folks, we've never had a better day of communicating the message of Jesus Christ. The only thing that is lacking is the power of the Holy Ghost in many cases, and all the gifts of the spirit, the manifestation of that message is missing. We've got a good message, and I believe that today that the whole political scene, you know, are trying to find a message to to curtail the the failure, if you like, of previous governments and other governments government's to to implement what they what they've decided and they're trying to find a new message in our own country. And I'll just talk about that in our own country. We've got another party now, the Social Democrats, and they're now arguing amongst themselves about leadership. But all the time they're looking for new parties, new messages to try to find an answer. And socialism is not the answer. I can assure you. The socialist governments and the communist governments around the world, they boast and say why, we can put a new suit on every man. Well, that's a lot of rubbish. Christianity can put a new man in every suit, and that's the truth. We're interchanging people, not their habits, but their hearts. And I believe we've got a message that will do that. But first of all, it's got to be advertised. And we're God's only advertisements, only advertising God's. God is the body of Christ, the church. And what are we advertising today? The whole world is going everywhere else for joy, the joy that will set them free. The joy that will release them as a person, and the love that will release them as a person, and the peace that will keep them as a person. And who's got it? The church has got it. And haven't we hidden it well? Life has to be expressed today. This is the life of the kingdom. I'm glad there's only one life. So it shall be preached unto all nations. And then shall the end come. That doesn't mean Jesus saved. That means the full gospel of deliverance from every single thing that Satan has put upon mankind. I've ministered to members of government in different countries, and I praise the Lord that there are men now in all over the world, in positions of authority, that have this gospel in their hearts and also in their experiences to some measure. Now the fullness of it. This message is coming out in our experience now, because the body of Christ is coming alive. It's coming alive to the fact that we're no longer supposed to all sit around the crossroads wondering which way we should go. If you can't go forward in your ministry, in your life, you can go up in your relationship with Jesus. And what we find in our relationship with Jesus will take us on and further on, and nothing will stop us. And I'm convinced of that, that God has put a premium not on ministry, but on relationship. And in the Kingdom of God, I praise the Lord. There's only one mind. Hallelujah! And that is the mind of Christ. And we have the mind of Christ in one Corinthians two sixteen. And praise God for that. We have the mind of Christ, a mind that is never fought in failure, never fought in sickness, never, never fought in sin and mind, has never fought in any lust or any other area, in poverty or anything else. A mind that is totally free in a world that was totally bound by all these things. He stayed free from it because his mind was one with the father. And I say nothing but what the father tells me and what he gives me a commandment to do. That's all I do, and that's all I say, he said in John chapter twelve, in the last two verses. And so you have then this mind in the body of Christ. And so we have access to all the information that we need in the kingdom of God. We're not limited as a natural person is limited to his ability, to his intellectual ability to reason or philosophize or anything else. We're not limited. There are no limits put on the spiritual man, except for the limits that God has put on. That is the boundary of control. That means we don't go too far in any one direction and get too involved in any one direction. And so it is then that in the kingdom of God, then the most important factor is this that you come through only one door. You only come through one door. There is only one door in. There isn't a door out, apparently. There's only one door in. I know there's a blaspheming of the Holy Ghost and so forth. But what I'm saying is, that's not a door over there. Just march. That is not expected of anyone that enters the kingdom of God and is born again of the Spirit of God. But there is still the possibility. So what I'm saying is this, that we go through a door and Jesus Christ is the door, and he came as the door to the kingdom for all of Israel. And he's saying, look, you guys, if I cast out the Spirit of God, now is the kingdom come nigh unto you? I am the door of the sheepfold. I am the door in. I am the way. I am the truth that you're looking for. I am the life that you're looking for. And I've come that you might have it. And that more abundantly I am all that you need. You come in by me. This is the only way in the only way into the kingdom of God. For this whole world is to bow the knee to Jesus Christ, and to acknowledge that all that he's done on the cross is for them to set them totally free from everything that the devil has done against them. What a message we have to preach. But God wants us to advertise it by living in the good of it. And that's wonderful. It's wonderful to advertise health. And it's no joke when I sneeze. Now I say thank you, Lord, for reminding me of the health that I'm living in. That sneeze goes no further. It can't go into a cold. It can't go into a flu. Flu, into flu because I've stopped it. Why? I have renewed my mind and reminded my body what I'm living in. I am not the body. I live in it. God has reversed the order. Man was created from his lowest form to his highest form. Body, soul and spirit. We have a recreated spirit. And now we're in the right order. That is spirit, soul and body. We live out from our spirit now. We live by faith because in the Kingdom of God we live by faith. And I praise God. Then we can know exactly any time of the day or night where we are, what we've got, and what we can do through Christ Jesus. We know exactly because we have another source of information. We have a person that can read the fine print. He's called the Holy Ghost. He has a monopoly on the truth. You can't get into any truth except by the Spirit of God. And if you come into the truth, the truth will make you free. You know you're in the truth. You know the truth got you and you've got the truth. You know it's got you as well. Because it makes you free. But it makes you as free as the person who said, I'm the truth. In the kingdom of God, there's only one life that is the life of Jesus Christ. There's only one faith that is the faith of Jesus Christ. Amen. There's only one prosperity. That's the prosperity that Jesus Christ came to give us. It is not like the world which measures prosperity by how much they've got. We measure it by how much we give. Do you like it? Living in the kingdom means that all your needs are met. With enough over to minister to the needs of others. And you constantly advance the message of the kingdom in prosperity by advancing in the business world and taking the business out of the devil's hands. Bring it back unto God's control so that he can use it for his kingdom. Amen. I believe there will come a day when God can speak to a man, say and give one million, five million, ten million, and we can run and people can move right in and do their thing. Straight away the big corporations can do that, and they can multiply and they take over these other small ones. Merges all over England. At the moment they're getting bigger and bigger and bigger, and then they're computerised so they can be controlled so you can computerize all that information. Today we're living in such a technical world that, believe it or not. you can't get anywhere without a computer facing you one way or the other. Now, I believe God can beat the computers he did for me once when I was coming from New Zealand to New Zealand. Many, quite a few years ago. If you've heard this story, forgive me, but I love telling it. You like to hear it, darling, don't you? And it's getting a little late anyway, because we'll make this my bedtime story before I finish. Now. But many of you know that I was coming to New Zealand, and I got as far as Los Angeles, and I got I went to change my plane, and I went to the desk of Air New Zealand, and they told me, we're very sorry. And I put my ticket down and they looked through it, went through the computer. Sorry, sorry, but you've missed your connecting flight and there are no seats on any plane leaving for New Zealand for the next two days. Now, I knew I should be in New Zealand. I knew God wanted me there. I knew I was in the will of God. So what do I do then? Come on. How can you advance the kingdom when Air New Zealand won't cooperate? So I thought, now what would Jesus do? So I could. And I just imagined up in the mountain, having a lovely time with father. Having a precious time. Then he came down to the shores of Galilee. And then he looked for the boat. His disciples. And I couldn't imagine him just sitting down saying, I missed the boat. I missed the boat. As he saw his disciples out there on the lake. I missed the boat. What am I going to do? He went on, walking on the water. On the water? He didn't stop. If he missed the boat, he went on walking. For those with a vivid imagination. I did not walk to the end of the runway. And wave my arms because I had two heavy suitcases with me. But what I did do, I went away from the desk. Now, like Peter, this is what I did when remember when Dorcas had died? And that name is really a precious name. It means gazelle and it means one that is leaping around all the time. A gazelle is always leaping around. She was leaping around, doing all that good and and helping the widows, and she was such a precious, lovely person in, in her ministry. And she died and they contacted Peter and he went to the house, and all these people were wailing and holding up the things that she'd given them and sewn and knitted and whatever. And he drove them all out of the house and said, off you go. Close the door behind him and knelt down. If you read it very carefully. He was then facing the door, not the problem behind me, behind him. Sorry, of Dorcas lying there dead. He was facing the door and he prayed. He got in touch with heaven. Got it all together. And then Peter, turning, spoke to her and said, rise up. You see? He then turning. So before you face the problem, face the Lord, get it together and then face it again. So I did. I went aside to the with the Lord. I reached out, received a seat. Do you know I must tell people who are traveling this? A lot of people don't know that all the airlines are being run by God for us. Now, the airlines don't actually know that and neither does the computer. It might get in the way, but God can get past the computer, right? So there's a Heavenly Travel Agents travel agency, which is open twenty four hours a day for all of God's children. And there's a seat on any plane leaving for anywhere but only one condition. In God's will. In God's will. Okay. So I received a seat on the next plane leaving for New Zealand. And thank the Lord for it. Amen. Now I have overcome with my own faith the knowledge of the world. I've got the knowledge of the kingdom. The knowledge of the kingdom is you're a king. Amen. You travel first class. If you don't do it in the natural, at least you do it in the spirit. Amen. That means you've got a seat on any plane leaving for anywhere. And I got my seat, and I went back to the desk a little while later, and I put my ticket down, and she looked at me rather strangely, as some people do. She went through the computer and then came back. Dum dum dum dum dum dum. And she looked at me with an amazement on her face. She said, there's there's been a cancellation. I could have told her. I did not come for a seat. I came with a seat. I had a seat before that jolly, silly old computer knew there was one. I'm dealing with heaven. If you want to beat this computerised generation. Keep in touch with heaven and you'll be ahead of them. There's nothing to stop us whatsoever, going anywhere in this world and doing what God has called us to do. If we believe who we really are. We're born again into a kingdom of God's provision. Now, if if Adam was was created and God had enough time to know when he was coming, he created everything around Adam that was perfect. And everything was created to serve Adam. And there was no lack in Adam whatsoever. That was the first Adam. Amen. And the last Adam came to give us the legal right to have everything back that the first Adam had, and a little more. Praise God, and a lot more. Hallelujah! And that's really wonderful. But remember this then that God then didn't have, like, your parents nine months warning or eight months or whatever warning that you were coming. He had a long, long, long time to work out the salvation that he wrought in Jesus Christ, so that in Christ Jesus there should be no lack, no lack whatsoever. So when you're born again, as you were born naturally into this world in need, you are born again by the spirit into the realm of God where there is no need because you are born again into God's supply. The whole of the supply is in the spiritual realm, and you take it out over the bridge of faith into the natural realm by believing you've got it before you get it. So we have to learn to communicate with God. We have to receive we. The Bible says we have not received the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God, that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. One Corinthians two verse twelve. The things that are freely given to us of God. Hallelujah. And I'll tell you something. No preacher on this earth at this moment has told us everything that God has freely given. We've got some wonderful discoveries of what God has given, but not everything. Nobody has come to the end of faith. So there's more faith to be experienced. Nobody's come to the end of love. So there's more love to be experienced. This is the only realm where there is yet something to be really discovered. That's really wonderful. Hallelujah. In the natural realm, I mean, they've climbed Everest. They've gone underneath the poles. You've discovered this. They discovered that they've done a whole host of things. And the young people today, well, there's very little to discover except the fact that you're a drip. If you're drugged up or you're involved in all the rest and so forth, and they just say, well, I'm just a drip, what am I doing around this world? There's nothing to do. And they're fed up. They, you know, they've lost the ability to talk, communicate with each other, the parents or anything else like that. And it's simply because of television and other things like that have robbed them of the ability to communicate. And there's nothing to aim for. I mean, look at them. They can't run faster than Sebastian, Sebastian Copeland or someone else, or John Walker or slowing up a bit, I hear. Great Scott. Is he? Maybe too much lead in that particular drink that he drinks? Yeah. You will understand if you're old fashioned, if you decide on something else. So there's very little to discover except that which is wrong. See mothers saying yes, yes, but in the spiritual realm. Oh, what an adventure. Hallelujah! It's a day of discovery. Every day you discover more of his love, more of his grace, more of his power, and more of his wisdom. And oh, I bow to the wisdom of God. And sometimes when people tell me about, especially some of the things I've heard tonight, the things that really hurt me a little bit because we've lost some really good friends. But I bow to the wisdom of God for what God could have prevented with his power. He is allowed in his wisdom. He knows best. Hallelujah! I love the Lord for that. Isn't it wonderful to have a person you can trust like that? And so it's an adventure now. Adventure into health. To prove what God has supplied in health that will keep you free from sickness and venture into prosperity. There are no limits whatsoever. Amen. It's an adventure because you can go as far as you can in your ability, but you can go the rest of the way in his. I thought that was good. In other words, God can't see anything he can't do, folks. And that's our thinking. Remember, Jesus cursed the fig tree and it withered up. He didn't turn around and then say in Mark chapter eleven. He didn't turn around and say, all right, you guys, forget it. Cursing fig trees is only for the Son of God. You're just not in this league at all. So just forget it. Now he went on to the mountain. He says, right. Have the faith of God. That really shook him to start off with in verse twenty two. Now you shall say to this mountain you can imagine them all looking at the mountain. Aha! Yeah. Why can't we just start with the fig tree? Well, I, I've just started with the fig tree myself. You see, this is reading between the lines and the works that I do in John fourteen twelve. You shall do also and greater works than these shall you do when I go to my father. So you've got to get your eyes on the mountain. You've got to reach beyond what you've seen me. Do you mean you haven't just given us a limit? No, no. No limit. Well, it's easy to get rid of a fig tree. You can either pull it up by the roots, chop it down, or push it over. But the mountain's kind of a little difficult, you shall say to this mountain. How much faith does a mountain got? No. You don't expect any response from the mountain. You've got to have faith for the mountain. And you shall say to this mountain, be thou cast into the sea. And if you don't doubt in your heart they all got that little spasm of doubt. You know, when you get, when you look at the mountain, when your God's not bigger than the mountain, you can spend a couple of days with your God. So he's bigger than the mountain. Then you can come along and say to the mountain, be thou removed, be thou removed, because you're looking down at what some people are looking up at. Never mind. It's a bit deep. That's why people buy the tape so they can hear it. And the Bible said, then you shall have whatsoever you say you shall have whatsoever you say. So there must come a moment when we start commanding the must come, a moment when we speak out from the kingdom, because we're living in under the authority. The only authority in the kingdom is in the name of Jesus, and the only power is the power of the Holy Ghost. And it's not a kingdom of words. And I praise the Lord for that. All the preachers would be in there. What does it mean then? It means this that the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. Paul said in one Corinthians chapter four verse twenty, the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. So remember, the kingdom of God represents the power of God and the power and demonstration of the Holy Spirit to the world outside. To us it represents the very presence of God. It represents also all the provision of God. It represents everything that we really need in the Kingdom of God. It's all in there. That's what the kingdom represents to us. God's total provision. And tonight I'm going to ask you a question. And the first question is this. Since I've laid the foundation. Have you experienced entering the Kingdom of God? He can't enter except you born again spiritually. And I'd like to pray for you tonight. If you've never had that experience of being born again, of the Spirit of God, you've never committed your life to Jesus. He's the door. He's the way in. There's no other way. You can't get in by except by the cross. That's where Jesus stopped everything that was against you and started everything that was for you. Do you like it? All that Jesus Christ gave up at Calvary. His life, his health, his righteousness. He gave it all up. He was made sin who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. He became sick. He was. And he bore our infirmities and carried our sicknesses. By his stripes we are healed. Amen. He tasted death for all men. He gave it all up at Calvary. Everything. He gave up his life, his prosperity. He became poor, that through his poverty we might become rich. Everything that Jesus Christ gave up at Calvary, he wants it back. In our experience. Yeah. Did you know that he didn't give it all up just to leave it there? He rose again from the dead. He wants it back. In our experience, he wants us to prosper, to live in hell, to live in his righteousness, sanctification, redemption. In his mind, in his life, in his. The health, the whole works. Isn't that wonderful? A bit of a shock to the system, isn't it? That's why John prayed. Beloved, I pray that you prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers. In three John two. Let us pray right now before I text your text. Your faith tonight too much before you're in sufficient faith to move out on it, I'm going to ask the question again. For those who have never made a personal commitment to Jesus Christ, okay, you've never received him personally. Therefore you don't know what kingdom living is really like. To live in the kingdom of God is to live in the spirit and to walk in the spirit. That's what Paul said in Galatians five twenty five. When you're born again, you're born again into the kingdom, and you live in that spiritual realm. Paul said, you're not in the flesh in Romans eight verse nine, but in the spirit. If you've never taken that step, if you've never made that decision in a few moments, I'm going to ask you to stand, and I'm going to pray for everyone that is standing. And you will have this experience tonight, and you'll know that you've stepped from death into life. You'll know. Now, anyone that would like me to pray for them, I'd like you to stand up, please. And I'd be glad to pray for you. If you've never made that decision, if you've never deliberately decided for Jesus Christ saying, Lord Jesus, I want to receive you as my Savior, I want to give my life to you totally, that your total life can be experienced in mine. If you've never made that decision and you'd like to do so, and I'm going to pray for everyone that is standing. I'd like you to stand right now just where you are. Don't let anybody stop you if you're with someone or anything else. This is between you and the Lord. It's lovely. Now we have one person standing. Two. Three people standing. And there's quite a few more. You don't know why you're here tonight. You're here by divine appointment. God wants you here. It's lovely. Praise the Lord. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven. Eight. Oh, that's just wonderful to see so many people standing. This is a totally new life you're starting tonight. You're starting it with God. You're starting it with God's plan for your life. You're starting it with the Holy Spirit. You're starting it with the best friend you'll ever have, will never leave you nor forsake you. The Lord Jesus Christ, the whole of the Godhead are going to be with you. I'm just going to ask once more now because there are another three people. God shows me there are three people who need to be on their feet right now. And don't let fear keep you in your seat. And don't let things can hold you back. This is your night. You procrastinated long enough. Now you say, Lord, I'm going to make the decision now. I'll take the first step. And then you'll give me grace and strength to take the next one. You're beginning with God tonight in a totally new way. If you'd like to stand now and then, I'm going to pray those other three people. Thank you. Yes. Even one person has a habit that they can't break even that habit. God will deliver you from it. Okay? You won't have to give it up. It'll give you up. Believe you me. All right. I'm going to pray now, So if there's any doubt, the best thing to do is to stand up. Praise the Lord. Okay. Now those three people have stood up. So I'm going to pray now. Shall we all just reach out? All those who know the Lord and love the Lord. You're going to have an addition to the family. Amen. And we're always in the natural when a little baby arrives and we're all born again as babies, even spiritually. The Bible says in one John. One Peter two, verse two. Desire the sincere milk of the word, as newborn babies. Desire the sincere milk of the word, that you may grow thereby. Are we all ready? I want you to listen to my prayer very, very carefully. Lord Jesus, because you are the Savior, present the door to the kingdom. And there's only one way in, and that's through the cross. You provided a door for us that strips us of everything that this world has put upon us. And Satan and clothes us with everything you came to give us. May each person now by faith, see on the cross their sin, and they may see also that you were the substitute taking their place. You were made sin who knew no sin. That they might be made the righteousness of God in you, in him. And now, Lord, may they see that the father punished the son, he punished sin. And Jesus took our place. And on the cross Jesus took God's hand and took your hand and brought you together in his death, removing the sin that separated you. If you then truly repent tonight of your sin that is, turn from everything that you know to be wrong and truly repent in your heart and say sorry to God. Say sorry right now. He will then forgive you. Lord, I ask you to forgive everyone that has truly repented now And Lord Jesus, I want you to cleanse them in your precious blood that goes down to the deepest and vilest sin in their life, whether it's in their emotions and and whether it's in their mind or wherever it was born, that sin that you'll cleanse them totally from it, Lord, and cleanse them from all the effects so that they're clean in their mind and heart now, and everyone that is standing, Lord, I receive them forgiven because you are faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. You said it, Lord. We believe it and we receive it. I want everyone to thank the Lord in their hearts now for the forgiveness that Jesus Christ gives us. Now you must forgive yourself as well and forgive anyone that you have anything against. Just forgive them now. You cannot do penance now at this point because grace is grace. You cannot add anything to it to make it any more grace. But you magnify the grace of God by saying his grace is sufficient. That's his unmerited favor by accepting his forgiveness and believing you've got it. Yes. God has found sufficient grace to forgive you. Now you forgive yourself. Now, each person. I want you to open up your hearts now to Jesus and say, Lord Jesus, I want you to live your life in me now and come into my life and heart now, and live your life, Lord, in me and through me from this day. Lord Jesus, you have now the center of my affections. You have the center of my intellect and all my desires. I believe now that I'm motivated from this day by your Holy Spirit. And I believe, Lord Jesus, that you are leading me now. I pray now as I turn each person over to the Holy Spirit, that you will lead them. Lord, further on into the truth, that you will lead them, Lord, also into a deep experience of the baptism in the Holy Spirit and a relationship with you, Lord, that will grow more precious every day. Thank you Lord for answering my prayer. In your precious name. Amen. You may be seated.
