Red Rock Camp, which items would we go to it on and they did the Bible Study last year for the hundred and 50th. Yeah, I'm down for 13 years. I was in charge of procuring. Evangelist. That's the main preaching teaching person for the week. And I got a guy from Florida that it done a great job and in in about five weeks before Camp. He called me. Mrs. John Doe come to Florida kill me. He says there are doing a building project building project and they were and stuff happening. I can't come and retired about back then was a camper 400 or so. And and so I was down in the dumps like a my friend Rick Sterling Paul. You got a question. You legal kind of a question and Bella. And so I answered his question and then that night I complain complain complain complain. I was planning and feeling sorry for myself total of my predicament and we are we hung up and about five minutes later. He called you his brother for you. His name is Ian Peters and he's busy, but I asked y'all. Here's his number call him. And so I called him and the only week in June the arrow. Was that week? Maybe just I can't either the first day but I can do the rest of the week. So so he came and Mike Golic how many times you go back today? Least five times you as a hit your head because God use them in a mighty way. And so that begin our association together and I think when I first called me sis while you know, I mean charismatic we're kind of a our camp Sky Y Camp. Anyway, we have healing Services. We've had people healed and I think he'll fit right in and he did and so it is now the apostolic leader of Jamaica team in addition to the Israelite Ministry and answer my ordinations with And I just a Most Blessed by get to hear him and I'm glad I get to see her today and so my fellow Troopers to do is nice. But I pray for you and Turn You Loose.
Heavenly father. I just pray you the power of the Holy Spirit, you know, nobody in yeah just course through his whole body is headed hard told me you give him the words if you want us to hear today and Anointed with with with power of your teaching and preaching and it's just a Lucifer service gasket Jesus name. Amen. After the service the better part of his ministry team Marie is here. So introduce yourself to Marie and the Great Park events
Thanks Pastor. John was good to be back with you here. I come pick it was maybe help me is go. I don't know. It just gets to a point. Where will one day one week Blues into another.
Well, it means I'm getting old. That's right. I'm I'm going to be 59 next month and it's open my wife about my favorite colors in my size is all the rest of it appeared to follow up on Friday, and I'm feeling well. I don't have to have a 12 year old.
I didn't say baton. Well, I think the last time we saw you you don't wait weeks old our house and be glad we trying to downsize and since the last time I saw you we managed to buy a new home in Elk River and I've been working on it, you know, it's a little bit of a fixer and then we moved in and it was a lot of them. So we've been working on it and I even yesterday I was painting. So if you see gray spots on my skin somewhere I probably missed it by washing it off with the week. We've got most of the bigger stuff now John and I think I'm trying to make my Escape next month. I've been home all the time. Normally I traveling about every month. I'm gone somewhere different and last year. I found 170,000 miles to preach the gospel this year. I've only done one trip and it was 20000 miles. Darren back but kind of feeling like a bit of a change line.
So next next month, we're going down to Florida for a conference and then come back and pay later. I leave for India on a mission trip and we appreciate that you pray with us for that. We know we do this some resources. We need to be able to make that trip this woman. They have a government did that is it is technically a secular government, but the guy that's in power at the moment you in there is a very strong sponge into his stated goal. It's not even supposed anymore. His stated goal is to make India Hindu nation and I put all the other the other minority religions out. And so there has been a lot of persecution of Christians in India over the last 3 or 4 years. Supreme cases of buildings are being a trivial thing so I can shop for the outside on Sunday mornings while which was which should be there and building sound file Christians are being dragged from their homes and beaten and thrown in jail a personal friend of mine who I grew up with live right behind me when I was a little kid when they came to the states to study go to college when back and minister in India and then came back to live here and Minister India, his wife died a few years ago. And so he has been going back to India about six times a year and he said out these orphanages all around the eastern part of India and he's about forty of them and each of these orphanages have a hundred 250 kids so you can imagine what he's not traveling dead. So if not for that, he's raising money here for that will last Thanksgiving. Almost a year now last Thanksgiving. He was he went back and they preach the gospel unashamedly and some someone. It's a long story when someone didn't like what he was doing something on his stop didn't like what he was doing and complain to the authorities and then waiting there is every time he goes back to have a baptismal service baptized kids in water than the maple patients in Jesus Christ himself while he was baptized in these these teenagers and young adults. He was arrested. And since Thanksgiving of last year, he has been sitting in jail, and they haven't even had a bail hearing for you. Now we would that be all kinds of problems here if that was the case. But because he's a Christian and because of the government to a situation they just keep fighting an excuse all the prosecutor could make it today. All the judge was sick. And and and what they trying to do is they trying to send a message and we'll pray for him but nothing but this is the kind of situation. We're facing a dear friend of mine from right here in St. Cloud wasn't India in February of this year and was was held for questioning and told in no uncertain terms that that he would not be able to do any of the activities that he had planned to do with so they had to leave in there early and it ended up costing them a lot of money and now they don't know if there ain't going to be able to go back or not. I was born and so I think they actually cannot refuse Entry into India and I can even feel like going like I don't have it sized doing Crusades. I don't do Crusades anymore. I think there better ways to spend lots of money. And so I do in-house pastors and Leadership training conferences in so that's what I'm going to do. We have a girls home in India where we women that have been rescued from sex trafficking and bring them in and we rehabilitate them started two years ago 3 years ago and just in May of this year, we graduated at the first two girls and the horrible stuff they've been through and now they've been rehabilitated at least two Bill Supply jobs in five star hotels in Mumbai and very very proud of them and two more Bill to get ready to join the halfway program when they get training. To do something outside. How about home? We got 12 girls at the moment we can take 16. But so I'm going to check those out and going to do some passes stuff and biggest thrill for me. This time is I was invited to speak at the church where I was born, which is a great feather in like that up until just a few years ago. It was a largest to 72. Mission Station in the world in 1979. It was possible $22,000 a day to run. They've had a bigger threat to schools building programs Hospital feeding. Probaby 20 mm equal everyday and Insult or at least they used to do they put back on my phone right now, but you think of some of the biggest names in the in the world. It's part of the church. Will they just took Matt over the creeps out there and you putting that out they got them to send spies and then there's all kinds of trouble for you. So pray for us this trip is and you know what you guys do they come and so what we need to we need to have a shop expenses Matt, but pray for the situation in a month just for my safety there. There's 1.3 billion people in India and 2% of them from Christian Clueless cast of houses in approximately 2% of 1.3 billion. Is how many million people?
What frequency is 3.6 million more than that? And it doesn't sound is my actual life. There's a lot of people and they're good facing persecution. Even that even possible. They've been long established. So pray for me. The rest of the Christian is there but God will watch over them and then I'll come back from India. I'm here for a couple of weeks and then just this week with confirm trip to Singapore or I would quite regularly and again,
Do you like a Christmas as well at home and my family which not be popular in this not that I would all right 2nd Corinthians chapter 4 and Pastor John already read that verse. Let me just read it a little bit again because I want to share something with you that maybe we did we have not taken from this place is very often. We do not lose heart even though our outward man is perishing.
Probably because some of you might have arthritis or something, but how many of you getting old?
Are we all are bunnies don't don't respond the same way now, you don't when you and your jeans and in your twenties, maybe even cities you are invincible. And you know you you see these guys coming out of the gym where you see them on Facebook and Instagram and they got muscles everywhere and always standing there in that box. And here I am, you know, I have a six-pack. I just used to predict my six pack.
It's very precious in the jar.
Whatever, you know, I was working on the yard in the spring and I and I might shuttle when I was shopping something.
What is icing it in?
Is that married?
I wish him a bull skulking about the Elephant Man we used to do in our bodies that we can't do anymore because breaking down.
But didn't Wiggly he says would be renewed. Sometimes it will take away home from us. But there are things that are happening on the inside back on PC. Mulberry real ERC that's where we need to reach into to get a hole. Impressed 17 uses for our light Affliction is but for a moment and is working for us far more exceeding and eternal weight of Glory for our light Affliction. Let me show you what this guy thinks light Affliction is okay, cuz it's a couple of chapters later. He lists his light afflictions. Here we go over to a couple of pages 2nd Corinthians chapter 11 verse 22. I'm going to read a quick to stay with me. Okay, I see brussaux. Am I I'm a Israelite. So am I I didn't see the babraham. So am I I think Ministers of Christ I speak as a fool. I am more in labels more abundant in stripes and he wasn't joking about Sue's he was talkin about being whipped in stripes. Apartments in prisons more frequently in-depth up in this guy was left 4 dead. He was pretty sure the word raise them up a couple times because of the way he was breathing help the Jews five times. I receive 40 spikes - 139 39 lashes of the whip five times.
Blacks blacks 195 lectures at where are talkin about a little feather on the end of the Canterbury Tales with bones and metals and rocks in it and shredded treasure buddy. Three times. I was beaten with rods. Once I was Stone Mountain the happy way. bubblin real rocks three times. I was Shipwrecked on nights and a day. I have been in the deep in Jenny's off an imperiled of water in Perils of Brothers in Perils of my own countrymen and arrows up the gentle imperils in the city and pearls in the wilderness and hunger and thirst and fasting open in cold and nakedness beside these other things that come up on me dating my deep concern is for the churches. If he was alive today, we be getting this guy some serious therapy. It's like having you got the message yet.
These are serious matters. You cannot do this stuff. No talk about these friends of mine that have suffered persecution in India and many of them have been told and I've been forced to pull back from what they doing because things are going and Paul Smith. These are the things that happened to me and these are but light afflictions. Yeah, we did it. We did so mad when we go through the drive-thru at Starbucks or caribou and I'll talk to you some hot. Call the order isn't right for you, sit down for lunch offer a meeting on Sunday, because that's what all good Christians do we eat? And they get your order wrong. Will they take Lord help us a whole 25 minutes.
The pulse is over these things being beaten in stone being left for dead in jail being Shipwrecked. All these things are like afflictions because they are producing something deeper in you. I said the spider ball was my concern is for the judges and he's writing this to the Corinthian Church. And if I can just a little bit that is obviously that I want you guys to understand what God is saying and what God is doing in your life and all of this is he's making me more concerned for you.
He said what God is doing in your life. When you stop at least 8 when you have a difficulty when you have a trial, I want you to understand the outward man is perishing the end of that is being with you. The other man is suffering all of these afflictions, but the internet there is a greater wage of God's glory being revealed inside.
You know the wood glory in the original Hebrew and Greek language isn't interesting. Would we talk about God being a glorious God in the end. He get his spaceship that would Glory with that description is so incredibly beautiful. He is so glorious. John tries to describing and jumping and Revelation chapter 4. He says there's a door open me and have it and I went up and he's talking about rainbows and emerald gemstones in what's happening in the Heavenly Realm. And he's trying to explain what is invisible to us at end of Glory of God. Is all in that place and it's overwhelming and John R. All of these bad things that happened to us, but we go through the trials the tribulations in our lives. Awkward you sing something in us. That is greater than what we see. You understand that what you see is not the limit to the world that you live in.
Woe is me. Nobody loves me. Everybody hates me. I think I'll eat some one.
But what is happening in your life the good the bad the ugly? Is is Farmers doing something far more in you according to the word of God you and I can see or understand.
a far more exceeding and eternal understand that word Eternal weight of Glory Do you understand that eternity is happening in your life right now when you surrender your life to Jesus? The moment you knew that you're you're being your existing existence is connected with the internal realm and we cannot see that without natural. I feel it without natural senses yet. There is something go. according to what the Bible teaches and Glory
is holding this whole the rest of it literally means the weight of God's presence. Now we know God is everywhere when two or three are gathered together in my name. I am there in a minute. Sometimes we don't see him. Sometimes we don't fear anyone ever feel like that. That's the truth. That's the way we are. We part of the Judgment was raising their hands and
Are there other people sitting there going? I'm not feeling it.
Mike Piazza
Which focused on what we can do? And relate to being a being wealthy, but we can always feel them but every now and again God chooses to manifest his presence to his people.
Are those are pretty Supernatural experiences to keep you here all week telling you of things that have happened to me and things that happen to people that I know and trust Quest me that have experienced what we would call a manifestation of God's presence. But I try this would Glory. I've never met me before. Okay Q of I'll pick on you because you're closer. And I promise you that I won't embarrass you. Can you just stand on your hands over here, please?
What's your name Jennifer Jennifer Jennifer never met me before and I don't know if you were here last week.
Oh, well, it's one of my lunch afterwards at this me. And so she's heard of me actually believe that I'm a real person because she trusts the testimony of us to John. And yet she's been with me too. My reality is no list of possible in her mind because she has never seen me. She's only hurting me and then we come in to the meeting and here I am headed on stand up and preach now, she's not only her to me. She sees me with her own eyes. So she knows far more real and that's how we experience God sometimes we we sometimes we we know God's there and sometimes we see. We see the manifestation of God and every night sometimes we don't but we trust that God is real and so we respond to his with but when we talked about the glory of God, this is what I'm talkin about.
Women talk about the glory of God. It's like Jennifer taking my hand right now. What what's what's Happening Here is Jennifer is experiencing the weight of my presents. The tangible presence of emps is now in her hand if there was ever any doubt that she was Pastor Jones would that I was real when she heard of me if there was ever any doubt that she looked up and saw me and thought this guy is just unbelievable.
He is so good-looking and has to be an apparition and has to be a computer-generated in it. I got missed that field specialist work now.
See what happens when we go through stuff. We tend to focus so much on the stuff that we see and we can feel that we forget all of those things are working in us a greater manifestation of Greater experience of the way of God's presence. We need to stop with some of the theology that we've been taught. I might get into trouble from some people, but Lord help us. We need to stop watching some of the stuff that comes on Christian television.
But didn't save you to make you happy healthy and wealthy. God save you and called you with a holy calling God didn't save you inside come to me and all your problems will go away. He says come to me and I will be with you even to the ends of the Earth. Even if you walk through the valley of the shadow that I will be with you when the enemies around I'll prepare a table before you in the presence of your enemies. There's no job. Couldn't we do it in the comfort of my own home? Read and study the river bridge from adversity few years ago in a Georgetown the city's but we have on one of my young man was sent to Iraq. He was deployed to Iraq for a couple years, but when he came back he was he was telling me about asking what it was like whatever just like you always living on the edge. He said he knew we were in our camp. We're not base camp and when everything's going along fine, and you're eating food, And then suddenly someone yells in coming and everything goes out goes off the table and you got to die for color. Are beginning to think about what his experiences in the shed my bottom no comprehension of what they went through their presence of my enemies. You see this is the thing that Apple has let me read one more person. But we do not look at the things which are seen but the things which are not seen for the things which I see are temporary but the things with which I'm not Seen are eternal.
Did Shipwreck mole that offer juicing in the end? It's seating Lee greater Eternal weight of Glory. Can we see all the stuff that's happening to us, but we don't see the invisible the internal things that God is working through the stuff that's happening to us. Are you tracking with me? We don't see the things that I have been better happening Beyond Lucifer's and Paul says we can look at the stuff. That is visible. Or we can get a little depressed and we can get on put out and we can get all bent out of shape on it or we can start to see the invisible things of the kingdom of God that I had by and stopped to realize that there is something great about our existence on this Earth then just me having a good job having a nice wife having a nice wife a big car in a big house with all the rest of those things that we have been toward what Christians should have. The I believe in the blessing of God. I Believe by blessid just a couple of weeks ago man. We were blessed it was so incredible. I don't have time to tell you about it, but we would have been $1,400 hole in God didn't bless us. Its 11 leave in the blessing of God. Okay, I'm not saying that's not the case. But when it doesn't come through with ring when you go to use your eye and your injured and it's not functioning the way it should function at that point. Can you still say God is still the hero? Oh, man.
That means you must face to pray for someone overseas. But send the missionaries over let them do the Crusades and let the blind people start seeing let the lame people get up and start running around but Korean. Call cops. The dealer for me because I'm still in pain. You see he is the Healer. Where do you see? What I said whether you see it with your own eyes or not. He is still the hill. He is still the provider whether or not you see his provision with your own arms.
at what we have got to get to it this what Paul is saying here is we've got to get beyond the
just got to track the invisible stuff that he's doing in a vet's why are the right of the Hebrew says faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things that are I'm seeing or invincible.
people abusing sister
Richard get a week. We got people speak what you said to me. We got this and I'm going to hold me up bologna.
What's the Greek word for?
Seriously, I don't know what this chair is going to hold me up because I'm watching some of you being held up by this chair and I'm thinking of that check and hold him. He'll definitely hold my hundred 50 lb.
That was a fake statement evidence of things unseen yet, but I'm not a hundred fifty pounds yet. But I do to tell me this Jam is going to hold me up. I can see the evidence over here. But if I needed somewhere to sit and I could not see the chair that I would be fake. And when I was able to rest when I'm able to rest even though I can't see it their faith is substance. It's there when I see it or feel it a lot and it's evidence of things unseen, but I cannot see the invisible yet fake makes the invisible visible. People talk about having a vision. These days that we talked about people having a vision for your life. What birthstone color is there a team Folgers R Us.
I wonder sometimes about this whole Vision thing. If you don't want your five year plan your plan is still to be on this side of the grass.
things that I would like to achieve going to be a completely different story. I know because I think share the story with me. I'm so I'm not saying we shouldn't have a vision I'm saying that Vision needs to be based on God's would it needs to be based in faith? Because if you can see it, it's not really a vision.
If you can see it, it's all you're just describing what's happening in front of me. but when you cannot see when you contact when it's invisible, we got to reach into something Beyond else tells we going to reach into the realm and this is not a new AG kind of message. Stay with me for men with our region to the realm of the kingdom of God.
Jesus told us to bring your kingdom. Come on Earth is going to be visible. Your kingdom come into the visible as it is in heaven in The Invisible. How many of you have you can see heaven right now and are you looking at me and thinking well, no, seriously tell me if you can see what heaven is like right now. I don't have because she having like we're seeing images around us yet. Jesus said when you pray all of the invisible into the realm of the visible That's why would we eat you? Oh boy. I have to get into some trouble but understand what I'm saying when we pray for people.
And I've seen this afternoon my Omar it's the way for them to get here.
Come on. Let's just pray for her headache. It's my hands on them and let's give them the ol shoulder ride and relieve the tension as we pray for them and we always give them the old as we got you the login.
double pole seriously
Brazenhead, it's okay. And I'm not saying that you shouldn't be nice to people and prime minister in a physical way in catchable way, but there are things that happened you don't we have a friend that went to be with the Lord in April and May we just respond heaven?
To bring the invisible into the realm of the visible what was visible was our body that was wasting away. I'll tell you what, it didn't happen that song.
And so weak we go back to the times where he has shown himself to be the hero when we don't have the money to do stuff we go back to the time, but he has to be a provider. When life is hard for us? When it feels like no one loves us. We got to go back to those times where he has shown himself to be the weather about soul.
Girl from you don't know what I'm going through. Will you don't know what I'm going through either. So let's have a party.
We are. If we went to Lionel Richie concert a few weeks ago and had concert this company.
I don't know. If you're in this B said, you know, I'm singing Only songs, but really you're the ones in his hand. And he said every every lie every song every chew and every phrase connect you to a memory of something that was good or bad or indifferent.
I wish people God would learn how to do. That's why the songs are so full of the song your bless the Lord. Oh my soul and all that is within me and forget none of his benefit Beatles on my diseases. Do you spell free crowns me with loving kindness. Do you think that David was having a good day when he was fat? I don't think so at all. I think what David was doing was I am reminding myself. I am not feeling the best today. I think I'm going to have a sick day.
And then he remembers godswood who heals all my diseases. That's what he says bless the Lord. Oh my soul. Baltimore Ravens win against the get none of his benefits of David have to bring from the invisible realm he had to bring his healing into the visible realm finding stuff about meditating on chanting to make you to alter our reality. I'm talking about the reality of the kingdom of God.
Burger Creation in the beginning was the heavens and the Earth and the Earth was without form and the old King James it says and void. There was nothing that there was Darkness nothing was visible. Nothing was tangible. So God said let there be light and Shadow movie. Let's step out of the invisible Realm of the heavenlies and became visible in the temporal.
You do understand that the song of the movie stars and not being created when God said let there be light and we should get some kind of order.
Real presence the real manifestation of the invisible kingdom of God is Not determined by your circumstances, but your circumstances are a way for us to reach out and to realize what God is doing. just beyond this realm visibility and so
Are you still going to start mission trips? I'd love to see a dead person raised.
We we we we are about to stop because you've been getting some of these roads are not even roads really deliver and a long does Road through the village comes funeral on that holding this.
This is a baby. That is what's going on.
No, I looked at what was obviously the family spaces. I realize that in order for me to say what are Breeze 2 did these parents have to be going through the worst imaginable pain.
No, tengo Tres. It is actually.
I just made my point is this in everything that we dropping in order to experience the wonderful Testament?
Mike Mike deepest conviction as I get older is when we celebrate the good things that God has done can we please acknowledge the pain that we've been through to get to those two? That's how the visible invisible becomes visible.
I'm not saying we shouldn't go prepare. I'm not saying we should just have all the stuff we watch just like licking my fingers but understand what we go through this.
There is something deeper that God is 4 G. and everyone about life Peppa Pig on different Networks Will sulfur hurt we all stop at Roma on various levels.
I cannot imagine what it would be like. If one of my children and my grandchildren would have suffered something. Who did people deal with that every day of their life?
I Can Only Imagine what it would be like to be living somewhere like a rock or Syria or yelling and not knowing or or in Israel Gaza and not knowing if one day of a bomb is going to drop on your head and in your life. People that do that everyday all day long.
Whatever my circumstances, would you let the invisible things of your kingdom be revealed to me? I want to be an ambassador for the kingdom of God. I want to be an ambassador for when Jesus said these signs will follow those who believe I want to be an ambassador for that. I want to help people to realize I pray this is your prayer as well. Be safe. Alright, this is my last version. I'll close my Bible and turn off my iPad.
How can I use that much this whole time? I've been standing in front of it.
I want to be an ambassador.
I want people to realize. When would going through this?
Is something greater than you would?
I want to be able to take people by the hand and say about guns.
I don't know if this is going to be reported to put out there. I just I don't want this out because this is going to go smoothly as it relates to Kimball does wait wait. We have a friend that died and I can't remember if you were there in the room and I will let the whole thing as a blue butt at the hospital.
Father's Day
I know that my redeemer lives. I know that he will stand on the last day of on the year. I know that one day all of this will make sense. And so I moved away from Joel but just might be losing out of all that is lit steak. What's happening now and ask, how can we bring the revelation of the invisible Kingdom? What is currently visible in our?
23 years ago. I told you a story last time I was here for a one-time Maurice Maurice Pata with biscuit. When happy never showed up and 23 years later, we still in Italian.
And the trauma and the Disco but this cannot be happening to us. This is what you sent me on the Lifetime movie channel.
I get through that and even in more recent years as we shared that story more intentionally. We've seen God minister to so many people not just you just a word. Went missing with never found it.
And believe me we went through a couple years ago. It's almost like you couldn't catch a break. And get through that God is going to sit so many others look for what is invisible?
Look at the visible and then look for what God has in his bowl and let that be revealed screwed if I had a series or I act like a preacher series on this on this thing because there's so much to say bien. good spring Publix, thank you for your work.
