I'm going to where do I don't know how I'm going to handle all this big guns, which I paid in pubg. You know, I'm going to do all the headshots and all of that, I'm thinking all of these crazy things and I'm going to beat, you know, part of the Black Ops and all of those the movie ideas that I have my mind but I have no clue what it takes to reach that have no clue that. I need to go to the discipline treats that what do you think? If I'm just going to walk into the But the weather Bill happens by the way, the expense happened. I was, that's how I knew her Opry this gun. I'm going to do very well for your information. Does not work in the real gun and your games and the time and you go there. and for the first time, when you shoot, You just wanted to the ground because of the recall and certainly, you understand. Oh my God, that's so much more than I thought. But, you know, before used to just pick up the button and it shoots the bullet, the same thing happens. In reality, when you are born again, Christian. It's not a bed of roses that are certain disciplines, you need to incorporate, you cannot walk in the Kingdom of the enemy. And follow those principles result of which the world is following and expect a different result. Call me insane. But I do this throughout the week, has no Pride as my Bible reading. I'm going to party. I'm going to smoke and going to drink everything, but I'm a Christian, Christian. I don't even tell myself. That's that keep that isn't secret identity. When I come on Sunday, praise the Lord Brother. I know all the church phrases that I need to see. I know exactly when to see the Hallelujah, when you see an old man who are you fooling What's up fool? Aiden, definitely not. He's the one who gave you that idea, you just pull yourself and then when an issue comes up, you're wondering. This God thing doesn't work, man. I prayed. And I prayed, sincerely, answer me.

Who's going to ask you, when you one question, did you follow the principles in My Kingdom? You didn't? Did you follow it? Because if you follow the principles in My Kingdom, you will see the result. Hey man. It's this Another thing. Is about. Be good. So that's another extreme the opposite of it. I go to church every day. I pray five times a day or six times, which was convenient. I read one chapter of the day. I fast on a Friday and why people fast on the particular Friday. But anyway, I fast on a Friday, everything, I attend, all the meetings, I do everything was all the ticks in the boxes. But still, I don't see the Holy Spirit. You know why? I'll give you this. Please. Looks don't work in Christianity. Works, don't work in Christianity. You need to be led by the Holy Spirit if you seen that was, what's going on for 20? For the kingdom of God, is not in word, but in power, which part of the Holy Spirit, The most important thing that Christians we Kristen slack is the power of the Holy Spirit. You cannot live the Christian Life without the holy spirit. It's impossible by living. It is worse than being unbelievable that you were before. You was just hate it. It's easier to live as a non-believer, but not as a Christian without the Holy Spirit. Every single one of us has to depend on the holy spirit. It's a very simple thing. How can I get the holy spirit? Will say, I have five golden steps of getting the Holy Spirit or some will say read this book and you will get the Holy Spirit or some will see if you leave. If you if I leave my hand on you and pray in tongues, you will get the Holy Spirit. You don't need to do all of that. You don't need to do all of that, it does back to the basics. And you know what the basics of how did you receive Jesus? As your savior. Two things you did one, you bleed, or did you believe you believe that he died For You? Second, you will beat your act of obedience was getting up from your chair, going to the front of the Altar and pray for me to receive Christ. Believe.

That is new. A mysterious way of getting the Holy Spirit. It is simple. Every single thing in the Bible, you get it by believing will be. Three. If you want the Holy Spirit, the simplest thing believe, first of all, he is not a mystical power. He's not from our neither from DC which are you subscribe to? He's not from both the camp. He is a living person and I always thought about this Jesus was that in or we could hang around with them and then learn about how to do things, it would be much more cooler. I don't know how to work with this, Holy Spirit, but then dies himself says Thank, you know, it's better that I go and he is here because he can be everywhere at the same time with you with somebody else, the other part of the country are the part of the world at the same time and do much more with you than with me tonight.

One of the things that keeps you, where you are in your Christian walk in is what Pride? It's the most. Amazing topic that we don't want to talk about and we don't acknowledge it. Some of us acknowledge it and receive the other cream. The other room and we are nothing.

The other extremist I don't have to do anything. I'm perfect. I'm good. You guys like this?

I take the train from egham. I go sit your compartments. Would you call Bogey's compartment straight in the train know? I go to the compartment. That's the closest to the driver. Okay, and I go said that and I do from here to Waterloo and then I get on at Waterloo, the personal needs me, or I tell them. You know what? Today I was driving the train. Coughing. I was driving the train.

If you, if you lost it, that means all of us here have better Common Sense than me because I have this view thinking that if I come to church and sit. And watch everybody do everything. And observe keenly with snacks out. Why is the slide looking like, why can't lift my head? But I can I can put my head down on my phone but I can't lift my head and see the screen though. If I'm going to observe all of that. And then go back and feel that I am a child of God. I have the feeling I think if I do all of that I'm a Child of God. It's the same thing as me sitting. The pain and breaching water and saying I drove the plane today. Very good, just because you're in our savior. Doesn't make you a Christian when you practice being a child of God, walking in his ways walking in his plans, then you are a child of God has so many verses that Paul says. You'll be familiar with this. You will not inherit the kingdom of God, that was. He hasn't big list. He says, you know, if you are a homosexual, if you are, you know, at Envy. Deceased or drunkenness or whatever that you can think about the end, you will not inherit the kingdom of God. You know, why have you ever thought about it? Why why is being so mean? He's not open-minded. He's not inclusive. He does not understand diversity, fall is an older guy. He doesn't get it. Is all about inclusive with the yard diversity. It is about those characteristics belong to the kingdom of the devil. The characters of love, joy, peace righteousness, all the characteristics of the kingdom of God, you don't want to be an augmented when you reach heaven, imagine all your life. Again, you're the baby Christian. All your life till you die and then you and you are mean. You are selfish and helpful to anybody, always, give me. Give me attitude, give me prayer. Give me gifts. Give me help. All the hell that I want. I need to get from you all the time, you need. You need to pray for me. I'm not sure if anybody see you later. Give me time. And then when you get to heaven, You feel strange because everyone else behaves differently than you.

That is something that we need to avoid a man. Before I close, I want to Talk about a highlight to you. How do we How do you identify that? You are operating in the kingdom of God, or the kingdom of the devil do this in a very small way, every time, I know some of yall married if I do this every time there's a there's a better situation, your mind and you said I don't know what's going to play out in my future, I'm so worried. I'm so worried watering is from Is it from God? I'm home. Wow. So much respect for him. It's from the enemy wiring is from the enemy. Every time you worry you need to say the Lord has a good plan. You know, Dad is a green and that is believing. I don't know why we are so hesitant to say The good things that God has told us. We are so beautifully, jump the gun to say. If you're tired, we won't see what time I'm shattered. Instead of one piece. You're still, it still is one piece, but we are. So eager to tell the negative. But if I ask you to see Sam whole

I don't get that. You don't eat dicks before us such a big motivation to say something right about our self. If if I'm going to talk to my friend and see, I don't know what my future is. I'm so worried about it, you see the floor, it comes automatically but if I'm going to tell my friend, God has a plan for me and he will do it. You're almost thinking, what my friend is going to think about me. He thinks I'm a crazy guy. That doesn't sound very realistic. But you know what, the truth is, that is the reality and it depends on you. It doesn't matter who plays positive control, overhead, till you become hairless, but still is not going to change. He can place your hand on your head. Keep praying. But it's not going to change until you speak from your mouth and declare over your life that you have a blessed future when you feel feel. What does God say?

No, do not feel that I assumed, he was a 365 versus and above that. God saying, do not feel. But but he's not going to eat. It is not up to him. He's already told you the word of the king is the law in the Kingdom. He stole you do not feel now, it is up to us to believe it and say it out, confess it just the way you are saved. You believed you confess. So when you enter into feel confess, the Lord has told me. Not fear, I will not feel, I do not feel but trust in the Lord and the moment you speak it out is when the Holy Spirit activates is when the power of the Holy Spirit start working in you, you may not feel goosebumps, you may not feel suddenly like a line. Know you not feel all of that. But believe me the more you say that the spirit that brings fear into you will back off. What we do as good Christians is, when we feel feel feel, feel feel feel. I'm so scared, I'm so scared. You are just reinforcing what the devil is telling you. Let me get something little person. I'm not confident of doing it. I don't know. I lack confidence if I can do it. What does God say? Any idea when you're not confident of doing anything, I can do all things. Why? Because I'm super smart. I'll because I'm Tony Stark know. I can do, I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me. Not because I'm some great person that I can do something. I know my capabilities but I know a God who lives inside me and he can do it through me. The Holy Spirit wants to do amazing things. You don't why so many characters are given in the Bible says, you and me are without excuse because my number one, excuse back, in my, you needs days. When one of the prophets, came to my college, in Midnight, being in the night of the Prophet, to my college, and then That profit was bring over me and he said, a word that I never forget to eat or God calls you, the king of excuses. Organize a book of excuses, you can give it to God.

God has given so many examples in his word so that you and I are without an excuse. The easiest. Excuse that pieces or Jesus can do it. I'm Not Jesus. Volusia can do it. You can do it. If Peter can do it. Peter, remember, Peter was a mess with a hot mess and if he can, he can do it. You sure can do it. If not, when you reach up in heaven, we just going to ask you. You could have done better than me but it was your choice to not do it. So, let's kick off, excuse or the window because God says, you can do it. He will Empower you to do it. I'm not sure how to proceed. This is something with all of us, you know, I just finished my calls. I don't know what I need to do next.

You know what God says, I will direct your steps. That's all. Go to invest in because you know what? He put The precious metals. We're on the top of the top of the surface of the Earth or Islands flowing like a river to use it. No because you need to do some work. You need to do some work. God is not the god of laziness.

If you didn't know that I'm letting you know, God, our God is a God, who appreciates, who expects you to put me in for because nothing works without you. He will not do anything in your life without you. Without involving you. He expects you to be part of it, a man and you say I don't know how to proceed. God says I will direct your steps when you feel all alone. Oh my God could really short Realty to us as in how many people have mental illness. In terms of loneliness, in terms of I know, paranoid or whatever, sort of mental illness. What does God says, I am with you I will never leave you nor forsake you Believe me, people around. You can leave you. Yes, you they can leave you, but he God is the only person knowing everything that you do doing all the Tantrums, you have the the tendencies that you have, the temperament that you have

You still going to be there with you. He will never leave you the last one. The second one. I just joking. I'm not. Beautiful enough. Oh my God. And I I think, I think it was my wife or my daughter was talking about this this new trend in China, you know, if or if or sheet something I don't really know what it was before you know, your waist size, should be a full size or something. I ate four sheets site. Yes, I'm amazing. Crazy standards of beauty. And all of us, most of us.

Trying to subscribe to it. You don't want to look beautiful by what standard. I want the show on the TV. I want the show or what people prescribe on social media. Oh no, I put this pic that I was in the spark. And I didn't get any likes. Nope, even sent me a heart. I'm so depressed. Now, I need some medication to get over my depression. Come on. Grow up. I saw the end of life. But when you think you're not beautiful, beautiful enough, no matter how much you may look absolutely stunning. But if you think in your mind, I'm not good enough. I'm not beautiful enough. That's a trap of the enemy. And when you think you're not good enough, what does God says? God says, I am beautifully.

Wonderfully. Made fearfully made, literally, God's fingerprint is All Over You by the, you like it or not. He has formed you. And when he has found you, you have no question to say, I don't look good. Doesn't matter the one who made you things, you are absolutely stunning Masterpiece, one of a kind. He doesn't want you to be somebody else. The last one I am not good enough.

I'm never good enough. I do all these things at church, I'm trying to be the good person, but inside you are so critical about yourself. You demean yourself, you could take a look at yourself, no matter what you do. You don't feel good about yourself. I just don't feel good. I still feel. I'm a horrible person.

You don't want the antidote to that is. God says, I am your righteousness. I am your righteousness. It is not in you, it is not because you did something good that you need to feel good about yourself, you need to feel good and you're good because I am within you, it is not in your works. It is not in your ability to feel good or you know what to feel worried. But it is because your clothe yourself with Christ, you know, I did it. This is the battle that Paul talks about every Christian need to get serious. It's like this go to the battlefield without any gun. Find suppose I know which country some country. Ukraine, yogurt you've been sent from your to Ukraine to go fight and then I will give you a gun. Are you never talk again? You just going to walk that what happened?

You could fight your why? Because you don't have a weapon. You just going to stand there and walk and talk to people. Nobody's going to listen to you. You got me shot that the first moment you take the first step and that is exactly what's happening to every single person in the world. You got to take those actions, you got to confess fight your battles, put down your food and say no devil. No. When you are standing in touch that I will say, you don't need to worship like that. You don't need to do this. You don't have to sing the song and you know, you need not. Come on time. You don't need to do all of that. As long as you don't do all of that, he still has the group on you. Simple example, when we call for prayer, I don't want to get up and go. What if people think, I have some issues that you have issues? Nobody is that without any issues, everybody has issues. But when we sit there that is literally pride and it grieve the Holy Spirit, it grieve the holy spirit because you know what? He wants to set you free but he cannot invade your will even though he will not overcome. Your will and say no no, I want to make sure I come on and make it. I know you won't do it. He will wait for you to willingly come to him. If you come to him he is faithful to set. You free. Every time, when there is a call for prayer, please, it's my humble request, Step Up, step forward, it doesn't matter what anybody thinks because end of the day, you're the one who's going through it. You're the one who's facing it and only, you know, the pain that you have in your life. And if you want to be set free, you got to take that step. You got to put that foot forward and come forward and get set free because you know what the holy spirit is here to set. You free, it grieve the Holy Spirit every single day. When you come in every single Sunday, you coming, you go back with the same issue with the same mental illness with the same physical deformity. Every single thing that you're facing it. Grieves him. Because he is just waiting. It's like Jesus think or Israel or Jerusalem how I could set you free. It Grieves him to see you struggle with something that he is already paid. For that, is you that that that God wants to give you the access to. Every time you get an opportunity, but somebody wants to somebody's calling up for prayer a run. Run forward, literally run for, you know, that scares the enemy. As long as you're going to sit there and say it's okay, maybe next Sunday, brother, you're not going to live tomorrow. Forget next week. Sunday, that's a long shot. You are not sure about tomorrow. So don't wait for next Sunday. The moment you take that step of faith and say, Lord, every person you go through the Bible. Every person that step forward and says, son of David. Jesus heal me. What did Jesus do? He said, come tomorrow, what did you do? He did think he he is a person he set the captive free know today. If you want to be set free,

Look up to God. We're going to pray, but I would request everyone. If you need prayers today will be, there has been can join us and we will pray for each one. My desires. This I don't want to see one Soul stepping out of the store without being played because you know what, God cares for you. God loves you and it hurts them. Terribly to see you in pain. And Hudson terribly to see you walk out and pain after coming and meeting him. Amen. So I would request everybody, we will be getting into Worship in a few moments from now, but as still as the worship team leads worship, I would request each person. Cameras are not looking at you. It's only you and if you need prayer, you need to step up. Get up from your seat or cried to the people, to the, Steven Simon and Yasmin standing here. They will pray for you, but you did. Make this very clear you are not going to step out of this place. The way you came in because you need to be set free. I hope you're getting this God is not interested to play religion. He is interested to see his people. Set free walking boldly healed and walking in front and strength for the Lord. He is the god of the redeemed. He is not the god of the week, the feeling let today be the day by Satan loses. His grip on you. Let today be the day, whether James ft by the enemy is broken off. You let today be the day, you say no. Not anymore to the devil and say Yes, Lord lead me so that I may run the race that you have for me so that I may walk in your kingdom. A man. You going to bring now. But I would request for Steve to come forward. Lord, we thank you Lord as the worship, team comes and leads us in the background with the song. I want everyone to introspect. Think about anybody else that you are struggling with.

Lay it all down before God. Come before him. Don't let the enemy win today. Get up, come forward and get braids over. Let the Lord do in your life. What nobody else can do, let the Lord set you free in areas with the devil has trapped you and kept you as a prisoner from not excelling in your life. Let the freedom of God let the power of God manifest in your life if you need prayer. Come forward. This is your moment. Step Up. Step forward come come and get prayed over, let the power of God manifest in your life. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord, for every soul. Holy spirit that you are working upon them that you are giving them to spend and the Bold Explorer to stand up and walk forward log to get prayed over.
