Are You a Willing Disciple | Steven Francis

[Music] somes 110 the last few two weeks ago I shared with you what the Lord placed in our heart and I just want to share one part of that scripture this morning and I realized that National Day is coming we supposed to wear rate and all that thank you for putting on great and white that reminds us haha coming national day and may the Lord bless you Sam Sunday and 10 was one and two and three the Lord said to my lord sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool the Lord sends forth from Zion your mighty scepter rule in the midst of your enemies your people will offer themselves freely another translation says your people will become willing on the day of battle on the day of your power in holy garments in other words they will be wearing holy garments from the womb of the morning the dew of your youth will be yours it sounds a little bit more poetic it simply means just like how the morning dew will come in rest in the morning the same way your youth will rise up that simply that's what it means have you admired the morning dear you sure yes sometime can be so busy and tired you never watch the morning dude you're just complaining you the whole way or do they have to go to work the morning behind Singapore man everywhere is buildings unless you pass by three areas and your house is near quite a big open gap then you get to see morning dew if not usually we sing song lord thank you for morning dew boy I never seen one this morning did the Bible say just like how you cannot British how the dew comes and forms in the morning so in the end times your youth will just rise up like that amen therefore let us not stop praying for our youths don't stop according to this promise our children from a sinner will become a sane guest like that and that's what God is going to do I mean somehow the more convictions that is happening in my heart is that we are not serving for ourselves anymore we are serving for our children we are serving to keep the gates open that they will stand for the goodness of God and the strength of God but this is something that we need to remember in the second part that I want to emphasize the first part was many things the Lord says to my lord sit at my right hand until I make your enemies and two weeks ago I shared with us together how sitting with the Lord and the right hand means a lot more until God gives victory over our situation people are not our enemy the devil is isn't it our challenging circumstances are human I just told in what the enemy is doing from behind sometimes without realising we become puppets in what the enemy does from behind we can be so focused in human because human are the one will have infections and emotions and visual sight and so we get very upset with what we see what we hear but the enemy works from behind but God says you need to sit with me until I make your enemies and remember the word make that means there are circumstances God will create but the enemies will be humbled by the presence of God and that's what we spoke about the last session but this morning I just want to offer just versed for us to consider your people will offer themselves freely the NIV version says your people will become willing out of their own hearts your troops will be willing on your day of battle we are talking about David who's writing this song about the anointing of Melchizedek which is the priests of today but there is something that God is looking for see there are three kinds of disciples number one the first disciple they always falls into something and they always tend to say I got no choice you know I have to do it no choice disciples they always feel they are forced to do this they are forced to do that and then the second disciple that group is the compulsive disciples I have to do if I don't do I die the compulsion they feel that there is a I have to do more all the time what we don't realize is the compulsion is it is their own DNA if they don't force themselves to do it they will not do it do you care what I'm saying some people operate in in in that dimension you know when they are relaxed they are relaxed all the way so they got to keep forcing themselves pushing themselves and they feel that they are the compulsive disciple I have to if not I won't do it and so when they impose this have to they feel someone else is pushing them actually it's not you are the one who is pushing yourself because you operate under this compulsion mode and when you operate under this compulsion more your stress level goes up are you with me but there is a third level which God is looking for by the way I think it is right to say we all start with force to disciple come on going come on push don't let go you must do it and we are forced we all start that way all of us because we come out of darkness we came from a different background no one told us we can love God and serve God so we are all false we push our children to serve Him we teach them the importance of loving and serving God and then it comes to a point of compulsion every Sunday I must be there every Sunday I must go early if I don't do I finish pastors will call leadership will call therefore just go we all start that way but there is a higher level God wants each one of us to grow into and that is becoming the willing disciples people who love Jesus they have grown and they are mature they are not forced to they don't have to now they want to I choose to are you with me do you know every time you are feeling that you are forced to their enemy as a hand over your life think about it are you forced to being holy or you choose to be holy you get what I'm saying it's at the moment you feel you're forced to be holy that is so much of sin and lust that is still hiding there you're holding behind and you're pushing that force away but the moment you say I choose to be holy even if I fall I will stand up but I choose to be holy we've got the enemy slide is broken over your life amen because now God's take over God is looking for us to say I choose to do it because I Love You Lord and that's the same way when we surrender our lives we find oh I have to give up for Jesus what to do no choice won him sometimes you know you are giving and baring your flesh and you talk as though it's a big deal you know what to do I have to you can see the guests just people talk the way they talk you are bearing a dead flesh and you're talking like you are bearing a life person you know what you got to do you got to jump into the hole yourselfers died there before you rise up are you listening when you talk about your dead flesh there's nothing to pride because you pride on you being a life in Christ and God is waiting my brothers and my sisters the church is just a factory if I can say where we are supposed to develop people who become willing for Jesus Christ and he personally chooses everyone he said I chose you you didn't choose me he personally will choose and our church job any Church is to present everybody ready for that day when he will choose and he is wanting to choose people who are who have a heart who's willing to serve God willing and that's the willingness the enemy challenges us because the devil knows you can be so Christian your house can look Christian your car can be Christian I've got a cross in my car so my cars Christine isn't it we all identify ourselves with that we are Christian we have a cross you wear and you put a cross outside your house I don't know whether our dog look Christian or not buddy if you have you can put her maybe huh you know I saw this morning's newspaper in I think it's in Australia where the temperatures soaring so high that even the police dogs they have got shoes now you know this is my personal belief any animal that is born in the West they are blessed if the end of East they die I mean who will think that the dogs you don't need to be taken care they put a cooler right on top of it so we thank God for the best people a men really honestly are now thinking about it for a minute it's just amazing I wanted to think about this when you are walking with Jesus and you're following Jesus and you're doing ministry the question that God is looking for or the question that he already said he made the question and he answered for us I am looking for troops who are willing to serve me not because they have to see when you are willing the anointing comes over you like a river when you are willing the Lord Himself pour the oil on you see the first stage of our anointing we have to go where the river is and we take the anointing and come back isn't it we all learned that the second level is we know how to go and so it's no more difficult thing but the moment you are willing the river comes to you and God is looking for that my brothers and sisters we can pride ourselves as a pastor of a church that our church is fully functional they all are serving our they all are smiling they all are doing only God knows how many feel they have to and they are forced to they even put up the smile because the Christian thing to do you know hey praise the Lord and some of us we don't last more than that's the praise the Lord in hallelujah because otherwise inside is full of pain in challenges and God knows that but it's looking for this is the criteria that Jesus said therefore my brothers we can't go beyond this point time to time we do a check a quality control check inside our hearts am i still willing to love am I still willing to follow Jesus am i still willing to love Jesus and keep going because I am really not because I'm forced and when we are in the end time zone Antichrist is coming oh I'm so afraid of Antichrist so follow Jesus now I'm following Jesus because I know he's my king not because I'm afraid of the Antichrist hello are you are you with me so time to time you must be reminded you are following Jesus not because you are afraid of the devil you are following Jesus because Jesus died for you the devil is got nothing he will show his power time to time he will demonstrate how strong he is but at the end of the day our Lord Jesus he still the Lord God Almighty I mean I mean he can show you can feel the pressure sometimes you'll be sick bodily we will be distressed there will be issues at the end of the day you still know my God is still the king I mean and that's the trust that you have that makes you to hold on to Jesus without giving up but this attitude adjustment is something God will do to all of us who are sitting here and for us who are in the ministry that you're willing to do it because you love me not because you are forced to some of us here we are still having pending miracles pending healing pending situations pending solutions pending for many things you have asked before God yet you are willing to follow not because of this pending matters because you love Jesus I think time to time we have to remember I am praying because I want to I am praying because there is no other God to turn up to isn't it sometimes you feel guilty or now you bring once a week or once a month or whatever that the enemy can boost you up you're still doing because there is no other God besides the name of Jesus am I willing the day of battle I can say Lord Jesus here produced ten thousand people and then he goes one by one he looks whether the heart is willing rejected rejected yes rejected rejected yes today teachers work hard because if they don't produce the right students they're going to have it before the principal and the hierarchy keeps going forward isn't it do we have someone is going to approve us that whether you have done a good job or you're just preaching because you have to preach are you shaping people's life or are you telling a story every Sunday isn't it the onus is on us as we serve God as we serve in the worship ministry are you singing songs or are you bringing people to the presence of God bet on us rests upon us as we serve I tell you why the fear of the Lord comes upon me or rather came upon me this morning while they were singing while the whole service was going on few years ago I was in Bangalore India about five churches came out five Bible schools came together it was a seminar more than 200 Bible College students were all sitting there they all from different different Bible College more than 350 youths were gathered out of them 200 are Bible College students on the last day I'm supposed to pray for all of them and so we had the whole day fasting day and I laid hands on everybody and I prayed and especially if I knew that they were from Bible College I prayed a little bit more for them but as I laid my hands do you know how many times the Lord said I did not call this person I did not call this person I did not call that person and out of 200 there's only probably 15 people whom the Lord said this is the one that I've chosen so I went to speak to the different by College principals how did you gather these people they say well we went to these tribal people mountain and different black just wanna mention their names where they went we just give them offer we are willing to pay for you for three years we're willing to pay you a minimum salary you send to your parents we are we pay for Bible College you have education you have food and lodging just come and join us so why do they do it so when I produce 50 people studying my sponsors are sending money to the Bible School because I go to show students and for the next three years some of the students don't have to worry about their family though they don't have job because now the college is willing to pay something for them to send money to their family so we keep the school running we keep the family supported but then there comes the Lord Jesus Christ who is the approving King who says who among them is willing and is chosen are you listening my brothers and sisters on that day that's the day where the fire will test our hearts where the fire will test the quality of our ministry where the fire will test the quality of the motives that we have no one can measure our motives that God does he said I want to see the willingness out of their hearts in time to time we must be reminded who we are serving whether you are doing it willingly it is like Singaporeans when they drive you know some of the roads are suddenly the divider wrote then that lines are not printed because they put on a new tire and it in the moment you don't see the line you can see some cars watering this way well they don't know where the lines are they find it difficult to hole like this and just drive because somehow we are so conditioned to see lines but in overseas is different even when there are lines are they don't see they does nofollow don't worry everything will go well I'm asking myself a question am I willing to go through the challenge that is going to happen look at Psalms 51 verse 12 David was going through a hard time and he was going through a challenge and while he was going through a challenge samms 51 verse 12 in the NIV restore to me the joy of your salvation and grun me a what spirit if he seemed takes away your willingness disobedience Rob's you of your willingness procrastination will slow down your willingness and he's saying god grant me a willing spirit and sustain me the word sustained only musical people will know it's a sustaining note isn't it hold me there I don't want to be a yo-yo I don't want to be up and one down some people's faith is like a stock market every day is predictable every day gotta keep checking whether they are up or down today but if it God is saying grant me a willing spirit now this is David by the way he went through a challenge of sin not like we have not gone before but this man is willing to transparent himself and put into a book which probably he didn't know is going to become a Bible he didn't know that worldwide will know what he did can you imagine that if you know that you're going to write a book worldwide people will read will modify our writing isn't it but here's a man who wrote everything even the willingness sometimes you stop willing to go through it but he prayed God give me a continual willing spirit to fall you restore unto me the joy of my salvation it is okay my brothers and sisters time we lose that joy of being safe you know time to time we go through the mechanics of a Christian life the very joy of salvation will be robbed from us we go through the stress of spiritual discipline the joy of praying can go away from you you have this hyper Christian mode oh I have to pray I have to fast I have to read the Bible if not the devil will come after me I tell you what the more you play the more Devils will come visit the devil is smart you pray less he can't you pray more so he comes so my say you pray more I mean restore unto me the joy grant me a willing spirit if you look at one more scripture even though there are many like that just one more Isaiah 1:19 it says if you are willing and you are obedient look at that I saw a chapter 1 and verse 19 again if you I'm just choosing the NIV for for for today's thoughts because it's easier for us to understand if you are willing and you are obedient you will eat what best aid in the best we learn the best from the land it is not about working hard now you are willing to do what God wants you to do why do you think God tells you to have a willing heart and obedient and you will eat the bus of the land it's because of what God told Adam from now you must work out if not you won't be blessed it's a principle that was given the second Adam took the curse away but the law of obedience remains the same if you are willing to work hard you will eat the best and so the enemy works with our willingness you know why do you want to know why because the word willing has your will involved inside your will challenges the will of God because the will is involved each time the moment you are willing the enemy loses the matter because you're no longer forced to you no longer have to I'm willing Lord to do it and that is why every time you will another word is called sacrifice you don't mind sacrificing for someone you love and there are many times anything many of you are sitting here you will say the same thing there are moments that I have to come before God as I am willing to sacrifice it it's not so big laugh but it's a reverse psychology on your mind the moment you would sacrifice you are not fighting anymore lord have your way if I have to give up this for you and you are delighted by it I'm willing to give it sacrifice and the wonder he's saying give me a willing heart sacrifice before Jesus and I think we need to keep having the word sacrifice as we keep going because we don't know when we need to keep doing it isn't it we cannot say two years ago I sacrifice them now what and so we need to keep sustaining ourselves the joy of salvation go back to that scripture just now sounds 51:12 restore unto me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit to sustain me joy is always the result of a willing heart keep that in mind my brothers and sisters somehow because of our society from small in school we are told to force too have to do almost everything the moment the principal or the teachers tell you can choose to come no one will come so we always say you have to come if not there is penalties they all have to no choice so therefore in announcements in the church we also say you have to come so that your soul will be safe up there because the moment you say if you please come you can see the prayer meeting is always very few people I'm just using prayer as a cliche don't don't don't get me wrong you know I'm just using that it's not statistically speaking because the moment you don't have to the choice comes whether you want to now I'm not talking about church attendance I'm not talking about that I'm talking about you walking with God with a willing heart from it you see the moment you are sacrificing and walking with a willing heart the enemy will find difficult to touch you because the fire of God surrounds you all the time a willing heart helped me to become willing or covered of course God promises us the joy of following Jesus and sometimes we tell people you know when you follow Jesus your problems will lead you follow Jesus the demons will fly you follow Jesus everything will turn one good and then the day they follow Jesus everything is opposite I don't know why we we have to sell apples to bring people to church it's like we're so desperate to get them say but Jesus did not say that he said when you follow me carry the cross when you follow me all people will come against you when you follow me you just open a Pandora box of spiritual warfare man they're gonna come hunting for you but he said fear not I am there right from day one he told the truth when I read Matthew chapter 10 as a new believer I was thinking what a way to invite disciples with all the negative results of discipleship if you want to tell people to follow tell the bad things at the end of the day right from the first day don't tell them these other problems look at the prophecy the Apostle Paul received right on the day a prophet spoke over him he said you are going to suffer for Jesus your part is filled with taunts and there was this wonderful prophecy I received from Sodom on the day I accepted Christ your path is full of stones like stephen being stoned to death other so i said okay so what's my Christian name you shall be called Stephen what a powerful day to start you can't compute so many things but if it's that challenge if that's what is given to me then God help me to go through that challenge but you know you know when you're 15 you have no clue what you are saying you know it's like those who are getting married right on the day I'm willing I own all died sickness dad do gram dum dum dum you thought you're gonna die just once but the moment I get Mary gonna die every day may I tell you in a positive way brother come on they are no clue what they are saying I remember conducting a wedding in Malaysia when they just about to say I do in the mic and say are you sure they were all got started a pastor is not in the scream I say I don't worry are you sure say yes okay a willing God is looking for the heart that is willing because we wonder why when we pray then knighting is not going through we wonder why the breakthrough is not going through we wonder why some people spray a blessing can last for a week and then they say well your prayer is not good the church is not good but God is wondering only when you have a willing heart you can sustain the new wine in your life because my brother's you know listen I'm telling you from a heart that has followed Jesus and I'm telling you truth to this word even if you don't receive any prophecy for the rest of your life when Jesus is review that's the prophecy you need that's all you need the problem with the present-day church we become prophecy edits we are under kind of a heavy addiction every day must receive some kind of prophecy if we don't receive something new we feel God doesn't love me anymore he loves you he doesn't need to say it but he loves you when he said I will never leave you that's a lifetime guarantee prophecy man I tell you isn't it are you willing the moment you are willing it's because you love Jesus and Jesus loves you tonight let's look at the Luke chapter 7 verse 47 Luke chapter 7 I think God is readjusting our hearts in the same time God is rich adjusting our service in the end time Luke 7 47 it talks about a woman that Jesus forgave now you need to tell your neighbor something I'm going to tell you when God is going to forgive someone he will not ask your opinion about him are you ready it's a long line are you ready okay tell your neighbor now a neighbor look at the neighbor the other neighbor be smart and say same to you do you realize that when God is going to forgive someone he's not going to ask your recommendation because you are the one who is hurt you're not going to recommend them right he's not this lady she was so forgiving you know everybody pointed a mistake but one man came to forgive a regardless of who she is and she took the expensive thing that she could take and she broke it before Jesus and then she came before Jesus anointed his feet and anointed him and kissed him kissed his feet and Jesus said wherever my name will be preached I you must also mention or imagine other people are watching everybody wanted out touchy speed everybody wanted to kiss because my name need to be mention as well you can't find anybody else given that level and Jesus makes a very important statement in verse 47 therefore I tell you how many sins have been forgiven because she loved much but he who has been forgiven little loves little we are all sitting here today how much do you think you are forgiven it's something that we don't know I cannot answer for you some fellows are sinning Rascals they will love more because they are really really really really they were living a very bad life but some people are holy Saints honestly they they have not done anything wrong we all have a story of forgiveness isn't it if your story is big don't make it small because the more you remember your and then the more you'll start loving Jesus in how much he has forgiven you the more you are forgiven the more you will start loving and when you love Jesus there is a willingness to serve Him it boils down back whether you love Jesus look at John 12 26 it's a passage again Jesus so stole these disciples and as a pasta it was having problem in my head I tell you why because in John 12 26 if anyone serves me he's up there whoever serves me must follow me do you know how we announce in church if you have been following the church for a long time it's that it's time to serve in the church but Jesus announced opposite way if you have been serving me for a long time I just want to remind you you must follow me first because it is possible to serve Jesus without following him in some of us we are serving the ministry without following Christ because we are used to that's the only thing we know we have to and we started this with the youths on the youth day and so I want to remind our sons and daughters are you in church because you have to come your parents have to come and I've seen some people the moment freedom comes to them they can choose they choose not to come you choose not to follow Christ you choose to do something else you choose to because why every Sunday I grew up in church I never see the world are you blind of what you what do you mean you never see the world the world is there I've said a lot of my friends who take Sunday sports different type of sports that require you to be there because they are in sportsmanship but yet their heart is so in tune with Christ it amazes me you know and some people can come to church every Sunday every day yet their heart is away so we are not talking about those kind of stuff we are talking about the heart are you with me I'm not talking about your Sunday attendance I'm talking about a willing heart no matter where you are for Christ because jesus said if you are serving me you must follow me God is looking for that part of your heart whether you are following Jesus and therefore I find it difficult to pride myself we got so many people who are coming we are growing because God is looking how many of us in this church who's got a willing heart some people come to the church buffet consumerism mentality what can they just do for me I tell you for a start we've got a toilet we can free water we can shake your hand we hallelujah we do some performance for you on Sunday I do good preaching every Sunday we can do some things for you and besides that we make sure there is a haka Center cheap there is whatever else free market what free market Oh free parking some oh oh yeah free parking in this area that's true and then plenty of durian for you to backslide I don't know what else we should be doing for you man what can the church do for me it's a consumerism that is killing the church today deliver yourself that's the spirit of the world deliver yourself out of that mind we have to remind ourselves that God listen my brothers and sisters we are talking about an army that God is building in this end time but this army is not a army that is forced to do but who are willing to serve Jesus they are willing because it's going to become harder in these end times isn't it the three Hebrew children to remember what they said even if God is not going to set us free we are still follow him we will still not deny him wow that willingness to just be there and to serve the Living God in John 12 26 we just mentioned and Jesus asked this question if you love me keep my Commandments it's something that I still find it difficult if you love me Lord you know I love you right it's like if you love me you gotta keep my Commandments if you love me you must follow me if you love me you must forgive if you love me you will abide in my love John 15:10 can I just take one scripture John 14:23 we're just going to wrap up in this scripture alone willingness okay John 14 verse 23 not 3:23 Jesus said this if you love me if anyone loves me can we all read together one two three go jesus replied if anyone loves me he will obey my teaching and my father will love him and we will come to him same scripture new King James Version you see what is the word makes our home what does that mean it was the same King James Version is there do we have King James yes make up all say where's the word manifests amplified bible okay amplified is amplified oh lucky more [Music] what does the word abort means I will manifest we will come and make who we will come and make where our home where so now you are all the time coming to God to the sanctuary but if you will abide in Jesus and if Jesus can see the fact that you love him me and my father will come to you and stay with you can you see the difference now what love and willingness does to us I remember one guy told me pasta you know I know that you're doing a good job because that what pasta should do they preach religion they have two bricks once in a while the Sunday service they will keep telling us follow God follow these because that's what religious teachers will do but we are not preaching religion and we know that we are not religious we are not one of the religion Jesus is not one of the gods he is the true and the Almighty the more I have encounters in heaven the more I've seen the glories of God the more I get to believe again and again and again and again Jesus is the truth and the Almighty there is no other God besides him he's interested in your personal life he's interested in what you eat and what you don't eat he's interested in where you go and where you're not going when you don't want to do he asked you to do when you are willing to do he said no not now he's willing to get involved in every single thing and sometimes you're older he treats you like a kid he doesn't care how old you are growing for him you're still his child and when I think about the love that God has and so my brothers and sisters building a church is fill a church is filled with disciples who are willing to serve Jesus and to follow Christ not because they have to now ask all of our young people today do you have the same conviction that you are willing to when you are free to choose to come to church not because parents have to bring you they have to wake you up they have to tell you if you don't score the points you are done you know that kind of stuff no when you have this heart to follow Jesus on that day as we stand before Christ I can't say this is my church members I can't say this is my family I can't say this is my children I can't say this is my spiritual son and daughter I can't say this is my brother or my sister because everybody will go through the same stain where the Lord Himself will say they are willing choose this person my brothers and sisters today we have been selling Jesus to everybody selling the gifts to everybody as though they don't have to do anything to follow Christ and those churches that sell a free message tends to grow better stronger because they don't feel any obligation to do anything I remember one pastor told me his church members say pastor as long as you are willing to serve we will pay you you do the job don't tell us what to do Wow so the pastor asked me he asked me do you want me to take your job or not I don't take your job you suffer yourselves with Dino some pastors are going through a hard time with some churches I remember before we started this church one guy came I hope you're watching through the video man I just shy away from mentioning your names they came up from another church they came here and they told me brother you can preach very well the anointing is of God is on you we will get your church we will organize every day you must breach we will pay the salary a good salary but in order for that salary to come you must preach every day six days a week morning and night different type of sessions and we will ensure you don't have financial struggles I don't know who I was working for now working for a corporation I'm working for a system because it has become investment and returns it's how much I'm paying how much you do we will get all our returns back you are an employee to a men imagine that day if I would have said yes because we under the pressure of a need bye thank you my brothers and sisters listen there is a need which no man can pay there is a love for Jesus you have inside isn't it the passion for souls that you have inside no one can pay that me no money can buy the presence of God no money can buy the miracles no money can buy faith no money can stop the devil did you realize that a church that is few I'm not going to talk about the beauty of holiness let me finish with a story about city starts some of you have read missionary books if you know about missionary lifestyle you will know whose City start is in Britain he was a successful cricket player and he became a captain famous kept in by then his parents I mean he was an American his parents wanted to send him to Cambridge and the whole church knows I studied in Cambridge y'all know right hey why are you laughing you mean your didn't know now out of little face the following next week I think I'm pretty I don't know who's bridging no not next week the next one I'm bridging I'll show you my cambric School Certificate then you'll be convinced and you know it's the truth okay now CD start went to Cambridge to study and you know Cambridge is a wolf famous school when he went there a man who was unschooled American called DL Moody he went there to preach when he was there out of so many hundreds of people who attended seven people whose hearts were touch by this challenge of BL moody a man who has never been to school but filled with the power of the Holy Spirit versus the main who in Cambridge studying when the Holy Spirit fell upon them they decided to come into the full-time ministry responding to the call of God though they were in Cambridge well they were touched by God they joined the Ministry of Hudson Taylor and they went to China they took on they put on the Chinese Way of life style the way they eat the language the custom even the dressing they followed that style because Hudson Taylor was teaching them this 7 man became so famous by their missionary enterprise they were known as the Cambridge 7 but CitiStat decided I'm not just going to stop there this willingness in my heart this fire that is burning in me the passion that is there for souls I must go somewhere else to reach out he went to Africa he did a lot of ministry in India and he said this statement which no one else can take away I've read so many books of City Star because when you read you know there are many books that I read I didn't understand what I was reading you know but the fire that came from their books burned in my soul I sometimes when I look at my son my library books I've got no clue why I bought them in I was sixteen but when I read those books fire imparted came into my heart and that is why I can remember who CD start is he wrote this statement that created a deep impression on my soul he said some wish to live within the sound of a church bell they want to serve close to the church but I want to run a rescue shop within the yacht of health I want to set up a rescue shop just outside hell so I can save everyone that passes by that Road you know what's odd is another thing he did a fantastic job God brought him round the world in nineteen twenty something he was born in eighteen hundreds he went to Penang to preach he passed by the Lok a a Methodist Church and the Presbyterian Church in the early 1900s God used him mightily brought him up to heaven talked to him face to face he cried and he cried and he cried because he could not save his mother the mother died before he met Jesus so he prayed and he said God if I would just ask one thing from you is to go down to hell and preach cries to my mother if she can be safe and his entire ministry was filled with this passion for souls thinking about the person he couldn't touch my brothers and sisters sometimes we lose in the glamour of who our churches we losing the glamour of our business and our accomplishment sometimes we take it for too granted well I just come to church look at all the other fellows who are doing the youth guys the TV the video the audio and the ushers who are doing their job the ones who are washing the toilet week after week different cell groups the Sunday School teachers in all of them are doing out of a willing heart they are not paid to do it they are not to pay to get scolding you know they are not paid to get instructions from me they are not paid to have to do things they are doing because they love God and I pray sometimes we gotta honor them you got to respect them they all the full of faults just like every one of us would be you know sometimes you think we buy machines and they don't have faults every day machine corrects more stress every day this one doesn't work and like today when everything is so perfect something will go wrong you can never trust machine isn't it nothing works right but can I ask you today I remind you God is looking for willing hearts I can say God I just build a 10,000 people church from bang he looks really I can only see 200 say what hello excuse me I just did the latest church attendance role 10,000 came in no he said when he said 200 whoa who wins the game because God is looking for willing hearts broken souls who can do what God wants them to do and so I want to remind us today in this endtime Jesus himself said your people will offer themselves freely on the day of your power in holy garments from the womb of the morning that you of your youth will be yours Satan did not change his game plan Adam and Eve was given a free treat they lost it job was having a blessed life and this is what Satan came and said you know why the fella is worshiping you you see you have blessed him what nothing is tested everything so it's not fair right and you know who how Satan know about joke it is God who introduced job to him have you considered my servant job earlier today hello aren't you glad that God introduces you to the head of state Satan are you not dying to be introduced to someone oh I tell you why when God introduce someone to Satan he knows he's introducing a champion when David was introduced God was not looking for what David can do that God knew that David is willing to stand there I'm gonna do all the job through him today this onus is resting upon us our sons and daughters who are sitting with us those who are watching those we are serving we are serving the unborn children today their husbands wives sitting here God is a little bit more stricter in dealing with us because the offspring that comes from your womb matters to God and I blame all the wombs will be dedicated to Jesus amen amen nothing else and some of you are spiritual parents you are praying you are birthing in your heart and if you have a children who's not walking right we've got today I tell you this is a promise jesus said they are washed by the blood of Christ not through your blood you keep praying God will do the right I mean can we all stand up together and pray
