back to awakening Australia we're here in Melbourne at the Marvel Stadium we're all marveling at what God is doing right here in Australia we are so happy you're joining in like I've said earlier you're not watching just another video you know that already you're not just watching another video you are part of something great that God is doing in this nation in this world at this hour you're joining in on a radical movement of God so we are so happy you're watching I have here today with me amazing Chloe who's actually part of the awakening team come on Chloe you do social media like all the beautiful pictures the videos and all that stuff she's had her hands on them and I have Chloe here today because we are actually going to have the outreach session today and sorry sorry I had something coming in my ear and it did something to me but we are actually going to outreach today and so I have Chloe here who is gonna share some things about what's been going on since Awakening is not just a stadium event it's not just about the weekend it's actually people come in the week before already to the city to go out and to flood the streets and they've been doing that since Monday every day going out just rent just normal radical cheese's lovers like us who just want to go and bless people so that's been happening since Monday and you've been kind of documenting things and hearing things so I just want to hear from you like what's been going on so just explain it quickly flood is a four day event where we just do super roar evangelism on the streets it's not about a certain way how it looks but it's about just face to face having a normal conversation with people and just facing the fear of men and actually just being like hey I actually just want to share with you the one thing that's changed my life and that's Jesus and he can do that same thing for you because you know greater is He that's in me than he in this world and so the last year for days we have seen so much stuff happen so many people have been getting healed we've seen maybe over a hundred salvations just on the streets before hands and this is just through everyday people like we have their incredible people like Ben we've got that's hard White's we've got our Daniel calendars but God is the same in me as he is in them and that's the one thing that we love and promotes so much about flood and outreach is that the same Jesus in you is the same one that rose from the dead and so for one example just outreach yesterday we had one testimony come in and guy was just walking along and he saw a guy sitting on a bench and he looked quite sad and he was a bit smelly and ragged looking and so he sat down next to me start talking to him and this guy just opened up and he started sharing about how right then and that day he actually planned to commit suicide and jump in front of a train but the moment that guy sat down he just was beaming with the love of Jesus which we all do and he ended up talking this guy he got to pray for him when he prayed for him he sobered up completely and he ended up giving his heart to Jesus and this is just one of the testimonies of three that this one person sent in to us and so people in Melbourne are super ripe and ready for the gospel but the same whether it's Australia whether it's a different state or whether it's across the world God is moving and the message that we carry is the most powerful message you could ever share with someone and so trust the words that you have in your heart in your mouth and know that God will always move on faith it's awesome oh that's actually that's actually already the second testimony about stopping a suicide that I've heard from this week and who knows how many more that have been another reason why I wanted you to be here it's I want to hear from you from amazing Chloe many of you might not know her she's she's doing behind the scenes so many things she's not on stage right now except now she's in camera but exactly for that purpose like what has what this outreach mean to you what does it look like in your life like there are so many people watching like well you know I'm not that crazy Vangelis I'm not the person who's gonna go out and tell people about Jesus what is outreach and what does it look like for you yeah outreach it's not about like going and doing an event it's like okay guys we're gonna organize outreach and go talk to people I reach to me is the everyday conversation I have with people whether it's even with people or for me I am over the social media for awakening I even love using that tool to be able to share the gospel as well but for me it hasn't always been easy it hasn't always been like yeah I'm just a really loud person I'm not honestly I love just chilling it by myself or doing my own thing or if I have to get somewhere I like to get there you know with time on my side but there's so many people out there and when we it like it says in Romans 12 in the view of God's mercy when I have that view of God's mercy the cross in my lens whenever I see people I can't help it but stop and actually whether it's sharing you know it's as simple jesus loves you or if God prompts me to stay there for a long time and just listen to their story or if I'm prompted to pray like I just always want to be obedient to the Holy Spirit's promptings and that's what outreach looked like to me like sometimes it's even just when I go to Cole's for example if you're from Australia just going to calls checking out my my fruit for the day I'll just talk to the person but like hey I just wanna let you know if no one tells you this today you are so valuable and jesus loves you so much and he has an incredible plan for your life and I encourage you if you ever get to a place in your life and you're like if this Jesus is real I just encourage you to tell him be like Jesus if you're real prove it and honestly I've heard so many testimonies of people actually having encounters of Jesus that way we just there's little snippets there's little words there's little phrases they ring in people's minds because the Holy Spirit is in our words cuz he's in us so that's how what it kind of looks like for me and we actually had Jake here yesterday also talking about the same subject and I loved what he was saying I asked him kind of a similar question and and he was saying how how for him it was a process and how it looks different for him than it looks for someone else and our expression of it looks different and for example for me too I walked through a process in that because before years ago I was the person who always said that I am NOT a street evangelist I would look at the people who would go out on the streets and I would be like awesome bless you guys do your thing this is not my cup like I will be doing my thing and you can do yours and then God convicted me he convicted me and spoke about like no sharing the gospel is for everyone it's just like hearing God's voice prophesying is for everyone all these things are for all of us but we get to just grow deep in intimacy in those areas with God and so for me to like it started up a process where I just started going after this and at first it was so awkward like people I'm from Finland okay in Finland people do not talk to each other on the street so it's like so like you have no you can't just go chitchat with someone because when you're going chit-chatting people think it's awkward like even just saying hi is like why the earth are you you know speaking to me and so for me it also looked like a process and it's just this boldness like I love hearing you too sharing like finding your way whether it's you know buying the fruit at the store and just saying you know you're beautiful jesus loves you whatever it is like God's Spirit is gonna come on that it's gonna come on your obedience just be bold find your way of reaching out to people because it's all about loving and loving is simple you don't have to have the best words of knowledge you don't have to have a crazy prophetic word or or feel like the Holy Spirit is on you you can if you do we pray that you do we pray for more of that but in the beginning if you have fear in your heart you might not first feel the pleasure of God right in that moment but when you get over it he will come he will come and he will touch those people so please we're gonna tune in on the stage now and just taking everything that's gonna come out here we love you [Music] father we pray that all of Australia would hear the name of Jesus that our nation once again would hear the Thunder EES of God's voice as every Australian person hears the good news of the gospel that jesus is alive and that Jesus leaves over our country that Jesus loves Australia [Music] [Applause] we pray for Melvin in the name of Jesus we thank you Lord for the church in the name of Jesus we pray for unity in our

[Applause] [Music] Jake Ellison wasn't that awesome we've had some amazing worship who's having a good time so far yeah they can tell it's an order just talk a little bit about it take some time right now to talk a little bit about a sponsor of ours a partner actually compassion they do an amazing job all around the world and in fact you know we love seeing Souls saved in fact we're believing for thousands of souls to be saved who believes that in the next few days I found out today that a hundred and fifty thousand souls every year are being born again through the work of compassion is that awesome so what a young child gets sponsored for example in the Philippines or in Indonesia they get bought again they get plugged into a local church and on average around four members of their family also get born again that's on average that's a huge harvest that's amazing let's give Jesus some praise for that so we're gonna take a little bit of time now I want to show you a video and this is a girl called Hannah it's her story she's from the Philippines and so let's just turn our eyes towards the screens right now and check out this powerful testimony from compassion [Music] turning and being Russia and this year I could not be told what not anyone and I known in yeah see under democracy on earth unless I hit up CNN pieces hey what was it no no no my material isn't bad thing I was mad I blame him bother [Music] I got a new one I got it is it I was harboring hatred that my friends are happy because they had a family [Music] sometimes we didn't eat and go to school without an anonymous I don't wanna okay when we didn't have food I would go to sleep rice whatever it happened I wished it one day my mother would return to loss I had a family but it's different if your mother isn't there if your father isn't around [Music] whom I saw when I first joined the compassion project I didn't make friends say there was a gap the government's bitterness for appearances we were asked to surrender it to the Lord it was there I was released from what I said a super fashion ha sido para comer knocks away fiber hijo de passion and passion and goodness in marks on account of our experiment out here come on without choices I know nothing pero but I will be dead in my I wouldn't have hope in and that amazing let's give Jesus I think he deserves a louder cheer we'll say a couple of things about a couple of statements from compassion poverty speaks to a child it tells them you don't matter you are nothing life will always be this way but more powerful than poverty is the hope of Jesus who believes that I'm gonna say that again that's a great statement more powerful than poverty is the hope of Jesus and the care of the local church and the encouragement of a sponsor I want to ask you right now let's stretch our hands out we're going to pray right now for the people for children in the Philippines Indonesia and a lot of different broken nations around the world we're gonna pray right now God we'd pray for the children of the Philippines who are living in challenging situations that they may have the support and encouragement of the local church god we pray for children living in poverty all around the world and God we thank you for compassion and we continue to pray that you would bless them and help them to get into those unreached areas to see more people saved more people plugged into local churches and family set ablaze for the glory of God amen the fire of God so James is a good friend of ours from compassion myself and then we'll praying in our office and we thought God how many people can we believe for it to be sponsored and we felt in our heart that 300 people were going to get sponsored 300 young children the potentially concerned into 300 families getting saved yeah let's give Jesus and some praise for that and in fact just sensing the hunger in this place and the compassion in this place I feel I'm gonna see a lot more than 300 children sponsors today who's up for that so I want to ask you right now to take out your phones I'm going to give you a phone number we're gonna put them up on the screen as well the number is Oh 4 8 8 8 1 1 1 1 2 ok look I'm gonna read that out again you can write that down in fact why don't you just type it into your phone right now Oh 4 8 8 8 1 1 1 1 2 and all you need to do is type in the word sponsor and you can connect with the young child myself my wife Chelsea and our family we sponsor 3 our children and I had the great privilege of going to visit one of those children an Indonesian man it was so powerful to see the work they do on the ground and that's why I have no problem telling you how amazing compassion is today because they really do do an amazing job also too if you want to find out more you can go to gate 2 they've actually got to stand there and you can actually go and check out and maybe pick a child pick an area that you'd like to sponsor a child as well so does that sound all right yeah Jesus let's give him some more praise he's the one I'm gonna show you too Ben Fitzgerald he's got a very special special guest with him today as well this is my nephew Jacob I'm sorry I'm doing something selfish in our event I just I had to show him what normal Christianity in Australia looks like thousands of people saved amen this boy although he's my nephew he's meant more to my life in the last year and a half then probably anything that's come into my life apart from the Lord daily in the last 5 to 10 years he's just meant so much to me and I just love being with him he's just so curious and and he's everything's fresh to him and new and I love that when someone meets Jesus when they they see first the kingdom of God they see it there everything's new and they're in love with God and we're never meant to lose that original flame that original love for God and I really believe that this outreach session we're doing today we is the largest outreach that's ever been done in Melbourne history I believe that people are going to meet God and the Father the way I feel holding him the father will be just hanging over the banisters of heaven waiting to receive people waiting to receive new children new sons new donors because you're going to go get him hallelujah thanks God and so it's my honor to introduce a friend of mine to you who's going to teach this outreach session jqb want to say anything first okay this friend of mine he's led around 20 million people to Christ just a few he is an amazing man he's a predecessor of Reinhard Bonnke he's full of the Holy Spirit and I don't know many people with a passion for soul-winning like him why don't you stand and honor my amazing friend Daniel kolenda praise the Lord now don't sit down don't sit down I want to say thank you for honoring me but I think there's somebody in the house today that we need to honor more than anybody else so this is what I want you to do for the next 30 seconds when I count to three I want you to lift up your voice with the loudest shout of praise that you can to Jesus Christ the Lamb of God are you ready one two three lift your voice [Applause] Lorde's you're worthy of all of the praise come on and all of the honor in all of the glory forever and ever and ever and all of God's people said amen and amen you can be seated here this afternoon how many of you are excited about what's going to happen over the next few hours I don't know if you heard but what's about to happen is going to be the largest outreach that's ever happened here in this city and possibly in the entire nation you are about to make history come on tell your neighbor say neighbor let's make let's make history together today in Jesus name praise the Lord you can probably hear that my voice is a little bit worn out I just came literally a few days ago from Nigeria where we had a gospel crusade where hundreds of thousands of people receive Jesus amazing miracles happen blind eyes open cripples walks how many of you know Jesus is alive but I have good news for you the same Jesus that does these things in Africa is Jesus right here in Australia and you don't have to be on a platform you don't have to have a microphone you don't need to have a television program or a worldwide ministry all you need is Jesus and you're gonna see the same things happening out on the streets today and even greater in Jesus name say amen to that now I want to just say first of all I'm sure that other speakers have said this already but I told Ben backstage I said I admire so much the faith that he's had to come in to do something on this scale here in Australia and I believe that God is going to use Ben Fitzgerald's faith and the entire awakening team to spark something here in Australia that's going to send ripples to the edge of the world do you believe that can we just give honor where honor is due and put our hands together for Ben and for the entire awakening Australia awakening Europe the entire team we love you guys that we honor you it's a real joy for me not only to be here to minister to you which I'm looking forward to doing now but also to be here with these men and women who are dear friends genuinely I love these guys and we've been able to minister all over the world together and see God doing great things and I know that this is just the beginning we are in the midst of the greatest season of harvest in history if you have your Bibles open them with me to the book of Matthew chapter 10 I'm not going to preach to you or even talk to you for a long time but I want to inspire you and equip you now as you're about to go out to the streets how many are going out from here to the streets okay let me let me say that one more time how many are going out on the streets now okay leave your hand up if you had your hand up leave it up only if you're going out if you're not going out put your hand down okay now look around for somebody that's hand is down and grab them by the arm and say you're going with me in Jesus name maybe you say well Daniel you're the Evangelist I'm not an evangelist this is not my kind of thing I'm an introvert how many introverts do we have here you might be surprised to know that I'm an introvert too but when the Holy Ghost comes upon you he will use whatever personality that you have and it may be exactly what that person you're talking to needs so don't worry every limitation will be overcome today in Jesus name and you are going to be amazed at what God does through you just give him something to work with today before we read this passage I want to let you know that we have a table out here and I want to encourage you to go out there because I brought a gift for everybody that's here how many of you like free stuff okay those of you that don't like free stuff you're lying we all like free stuff this is what they did what it is I DVD called miracles this is 12 of the most amazing miracles that I've seen over the past five or six years and on this DVD you will see miracles how many of you ever seen a miracle happen right before your eyes all right for those of you that haven't you can watch them happen on this DVD you can watch blind people receive their sight right on the platform in front of hundreds of thousands of people you'll see on this video someone raised from the dead you'll watch a story where three blind children receive their sight the same moment amazing amazing stories and and this is one of the reasons I'm giving it to you I wanted to encourage you I wanted to inspire you but this is also an evangelistic tool because at the end I give the viewer an invitation to receive Jesus as their Savior so this is what I want you to do I want everybody to get your FREE copy of this before you go it's out up by entrance number two there's a table out there we have a free copy for everybody if we run out of hard copies today we'll send one to eat in the mail so everybody can get one I want you to watch it download it share it that there is no copyright ok the copyright is you have the right to copy but but this is what I want you to do that after you watch it and after you're blessed by it find somebody that doesn't know Jesus and give it to them and let them be blessed in Jesus name is that alright praise the Lord how many of you brought Bibles alright how many of you have your Bibles on your phones ok that works too just make sure that you're not surfing on Facebook I'm gonna reach you from the book of Matthew chapter number 10 and we're gonna read verses 6 I'm sorry verses 7 and 8 this is what it says this is Jesus speaking it's actually the same thing that's written on my shirt I don't know how many of you can see my shirt jesus said and as you go preach saying the kingdom of heaven is at hand heal the sick cleanse the lepers cast out demons raise the dead freely you have received now freely give how many we can say that's good stuff right there now you know I've met some pastors and some leaders that want one pastor he said to me you know he said I took my whole staff on a retreat for a whole week and we went to the mountains and we fasted and we prayed that God would give our church a mission statement and he said we organized for the whole week over every word of that mission statement and finally by the end of the week we emerged from that vacation with the mission statement from God and I think that's wonderful but I have a technique that will save you some time today you actually don't have to pray and ask God to give you a mission statement because he gave it to us already and it's listed right here in Matthew chapter 10 verse 7 it says and as you go preach saying the kingdom of heaven is at hand heal the sick cleanse the lepers raise the dead cast out devils freely you have received freely give now I want you to remember this today so we're gonna say it together all right are you still with me all right everybody say as you go come on do it better than that as you go preach the kingdom of heaven is at hand heal the sick cleanse the lepers raise the dead cast out devils freely you have received now freely give I pray this becomes the motto of your life from this day forward come on say it one more time as you go preach the kingdom of heaven is at hand heal the sick cleanse the lepers raise the dead cast out Devils freely you have received now freely give praise the Lord now listen I want you to notice the very first way that this starts Jesus said as you go I said as you go everybody turned to the person next to you and point at them say as you go now turn to the person on the other side and say as you go and now point that finger at yourself and say as I go I need you to understand this afternoon that this is about you this is not about professional preachers on a platform in Ephesians chapter 4 when the when Paul lists for us the fivefold ministry gifts the apostle prophet pastor teacher evangelist he does not say that their job is to do the work of the ministry now that may be a surprise to some of you you thought I'm an evangelist it's my job to go out and win the lost but the Bible says that my job as an evangelist is to equip you to do the work of the ministry because this is not about me this is about the body of Christ it's about all of us we are all a part of this body can you say Amen and let me tell you something now many people call me a healing evangelists I actually don't like that terminology at all I'm a salvation evangelist and I pray for the sick because that's what Jesus told us to do but people say you're a healing evangelists and I've haven't met people say to me what is your secret I want you to know something today and many healing evangelists wouldn't like me to tell you this but I'm gonna tell you there is nothing that I have that you don't have access to right here today by the blood of Jesus and it's not just me you pick your favorite preacher you pick your favorite healing evangelists the guy that has a big program on television the person that does big Crusades and sees mighty miracles there is nothing that they have that you don't have access to through the blood of Jesus you have the same Jesus you have the same Holy Spirit you same power of God at your fingertips so you say well what's the difference between them and me I'll tell you what most of the time the difference is one very small thing they have more guts than you do they have more faith and when I say faith I'm not talking about some special thing they learned about they are just willing to step out and take a risk and that's what you're about to do in a few minutes if you will be willing to step out and to take a risk you will be amazed at what God will do through you say Amen on my way here I have a privilege in the airport of leading about 20 soldiers to the Lord and these guys these guys had ak-47s on their shoulder they were some mean intimidating looking guys but every one of them bound their needs to Jesus and some of them with tears in their eyes some of them told me that there were Muslims all of them gave their lives to Jesus my friend listen to me I want you to understand something this is not about the platform you don't have to have a platform all you've got to have is Jesus and you say well Daniel I don't know what to tell people listen if Jesus did something for you he said in Acts chapter 1 he said that when the Holy Spirit comes upon you you will be witnesses unto me do you know what a witnesses a witness is somebody who has witnessed something who has experienced something how many of you can say that Jesus has changed your life then you've got something to say you've got a message better than any sermon you have a a witness of what Jesus has done in your life and if you will tell people what Jesus did for you it will be repeated everywhere you go say Amen so number one as you go but the second thing is the word go everybody say go shout it out go you have no idea the power that's in that word if I could only get you to understand the power in the word go it would change your life you realize the very first word of the Great Commission is the word go into all the world and preach the gospel Jesus said you see what happens is that when you sit on your butt in this room you see very little power working through your life maybe you say well Daniel I I know you have seen people raised from the dead you've seen mighty miracles I've never seen that why is it I had one guy that came to me he said after I had been telling some stories about seeing people raised from the dead he was an evangelist he said why is it you have seen people raised from the dead and I have it and I didn't know this guy so I thought well I'll start from the beginning and ask some diagnostic questions that's the right thing to do when you don't know the answer you ask some questions first so I said to him how many dead people have you prayed for you know what he said zero I said I know your problem if you don't pray for dead people you'll never see one raised if you don't preach the gospel you'll never see someone saved if you don't like hands on the sick you'll never see any of them healed if you don't rebuke demons you'll never cast one out you've got to go you've got to take action in Jesus name that's what you're about to do in a few minutes everybody say go I live in Orlando Florida in the United States and all right we have some Orlando people here all right awesome we're a long ways from home aren't we my next-door neighbor is part of the u.s. Olympic sprinting team he was one of the fastest men in the world he at one point has held the world record a very very powerful gifted man but you know and he stands in the yard talking to me he looks like all the rest of us he looks maybe a little bit more fit than most of us maybe but other than that he just looks like a normal person when he sits at the kitchen table drinking a cup of coffee how many Australians like coffee I knew that your coffee snobs when he's drinking that cup of coffee sitting at the kitchen table he looks as ordinary as you and me but if you take him down to the racetrack and you fire the starting pistol and he begins to run then you will see the power that's inside of him my friend listen to me maybe you say why is it I haven't seen the power of God working through my own life and it's because of this you're never gonna see the power of God in your life while you sit in the pews in your church you're not gonna see it sitting in this room if you want to see the power of God you're gonna have to go you're gonna have to go I say you're gonna have to go and when you begin to go when you take action you'll be amazed because listen to me this is what Jesus said the power that raised Jesus from the dead lives inside of you it goes with you as you go he goes as you work he works as you preach he preaches as you lay your hands on the people he lays his hands on the people because he goes with you everybody say go well then the next question is this what do I do when I go well the answer is very simple Jesus told us I love Jesus because he he makes everything easy to understand he didn't say go and argue come on somebody say Amen he didn't say go and debate he didn't say go and philosophize he said go and preach do you know what preaching is preaching is proclaiming you're not there to argue you have nothing to argue about because what's gonna happen next is you're gonna bring a demonstration of the kingdom that person you're talking to might know more than you they might be more articulate than you they might be more educated than you but you have a secret weapon you have the Holy Spirit working with you hallelujah this is one of the greatest secrets I can give you how many love secrets I'm talking to you as an evangelist I believe that one of the jobs of evangelist is to impart what they carry to others and one of the ways that we do that is by sharing the heart the things that we've learned with you and let me give you a secret so powerful if you want to be an effective evangelist this is what you need you need to go through life with an awareness that the Holy Spirit is working with you if you could get a hold of that it would change your life let me explain what that means today when you leave this place you need to go out of this place with an awareness and a confidence that every step you take is being guided by the Holy Spirit the people you meet today are being prepared for you and maybe in some cases have been being prepared for you for weeks or months or years for the encounter you're gonna have with them today the Holy Spirit has been arranging this thing he's been working this thing he knew them since they were born since before the foundation of the earth he knew that today you would encounter them and he knew that you would have something to say to them and he's bringing it together and he's right there in the midst and he's gonna bring about a supernatural revelation of himself you need that confidence you need that awareness that he is with you say Amen my mentor is Reinhard Bonnke and I remember years ago there was a evangelist that sent a book about evangelism to Ryan Hardy's he wanted Reinhard to write an endorsement Reinhard read the book and then he gave it to me I read the book and when I was finished she said to me what did you think I said well it was a pretty good book I said what do you think he said well I've decided I'm not going to write an endorsement and I'm going to send a letter to that evangelist and tell him that I'm not going to write an endorsement and this is the reason why that in his whole book about evangelism he forgot the most important thing and that is the Holy Spirit who is the master evangelist my friend listen evangelism is not about knowing all the right doctrinal points to preach oh it's wonderful if you can give the ABCs of salvation and I hope you can but beyond that the whole evangelism is working with and partnering with the master evangelist himself who is the Holy Spirit and you have his promise that if you will go he will go with you if you will preach he will preach with you and he will confirm your word with the power of heaven say Amen you say well Daniel okay I'm gonna go preach but what do I preach I'm glad you asked Jesus told us exactly what to say the kingdom of heaven has come near to you I dare you to try this today when you go out in the streets just walk up to somebody say excuse me sir did you know that the kingdom of heaven has come near to you today and the guy's gonna look at you he's gonna say what in the world is this guy talking about and that's gonna open the door for you to preach the gospel but listen don't just talk about it demonstrate it Jesus said as you go preach the kingdom of heaven is at hand period next sentence heal the sick raise the dead cast out devils cleanse the lepers why did he say that because when the kingdom comes it looks like something real we're not talking about a philosophy here we're not talking about just some some religious concept we are talking about something as real as the platform that I'm standing on right now jesus is alive and he wants to demonstrate his power through you today so when you go and you tell people that the kingdom of heaven has come be ready because the very next thing that's gonna happen is that you're gonna demonstrate the power of that kingdom and how are you gonna do that you're gonna heal the sick say heal the sick cleanse the lepers cast out demons raise the dead listen if you encounter a dead body today lay your hands on it you say what if nothing happens I said that to run our bunkie years ago when I first started working with him I said Reinhard what if I pray for people in these massive meetings I said what if I pray and nothing happens you know what he said to me he said Daniel if you pray for 99 people if you pray for 99 people and none of those people get healed pray for the next one as though all 99 had been healed he said God's Word doesn't depend on your experience and so you just keep going you know Todd's here Todd said he prayed for what was it a thousand people before he saw his first one but he kept going your odds will be much better I promise you today amazing things are gonna happen through you I want you to stand I wish I could talk about this for hours but you're probably glad that I can't but this is what we're gonna do now again this is not about how much you know this is about who you know did you hear me I said this is not about how much you know this is about who you know you know who the who the most effective evangelists I've ever seen are there people that just get saved they got to say five minutes ago now they're telling their their aunts and their uncles and their cousins and they have no they have no clue what they're talking about all their doctrine is wrong but there's power there because they've had an experience in there witnesses so this is what we're gonna do I want everybody to take the hand of the person next to you right now just take the hand of that person you're about to go out into the battle zone this is the real deal this is not this is not kindergarten this is not Sunday school anymore we're not just gonna talk about it now we're gonna do it but I want you to pray and just a moment when I tell you I want you to lift up your voice and I want you to begin to pray for those people on your riding your left and I want you to pray for them the way that you want them to pray for you I want you to pray for the power of the kingdom of heaven to be demonstrated in them today I want you to rebuke every spirit of fear in the name of Jesus I want you to pray for a baptism of love to come upon them go ahead right now Lord in Jesus name let your spirit fall in this place let your Holy Spirit fall right now Lord in Jesus name in Jesus name and Jesus saying signs and wonders and miracles where we thank you that the Dead will be raised the sick will be healed the lepers will be cleansed in Jesus name well we've received from your hand freely and now we give freely come on pray pray pray pray pray release heaven upon them right now in Jesus name thank you Jesus God we ask that you would come upon this city today father that you would change the lives of thousands of people come Holy Spirit right now we just invite your fire come Holy Spirit come Holy Spirit in Jesus name Amen before you seated can you guys do me a favor wasn't that such a privilege to have evangelist Daniel kolenda with us we just got to hear from one of God's generals in the earth right now who's seeing millions of people saved in Africa Daniel we saw thank you so thankful thank you for coming and showing with us can you all take your seats just for a few minutes are you guys excited for outreach it's gonna be so powerful I really felt while Daniel was sharing that God is disarming I saw some of the lives we've been that we've been believing for oftentimes in the church we believe like you said that God only moves through certain personality types and I just want to start off by reading a Bible verse a if you have your iPhone you can pull out the Bible app if you have a Samsung keep it in your pocket this is a holy place so on your iPhone pull out proverbs 28 this is what it says so often we think we define ourselves by our personality type some people love to quote this verse but think about it in the context of what I'm speaking about it says this the wicked flee when no one pursues proverbs 28 verse 1 the wicked flee when no one pursues but the righteous are as bold as lions see so that shows us that boldness doesn't come from your personality type boldness comes from understanding righteousness it has nothing to do with your personality type it doesn't say the Heidi on the disk cache is as bold as a lion and says the righteous are as bold as lions so when we understand we righteous we begin to be bold so many of you here today you might have believed that you weren't ready to be bold like I believed for years if God wanted me to be an evangelist he wouldn't have made me so shy God didn't make me bold but when I realized what God had done for me that's when boldness came out of that place is a step in the church and over 80 percent of people that are brought to church are brought by someone that's been saved for less than one year and that shows us that when we encounter righteousness we suddenly have this hunger and this boldness to bring people to church then over time we lose that boldness could we forget about the free gift of righteousness that we've received so today as we go out I want us to come back to that place of remembering that each one of us were a sinner and now we get to wake up every day free and when you remember that evangelism become so easy because the righteous are as bold as lions if you aren't sure yet I'm gonna read one more verse the verses out of Acts chapter 4 I love this so much Acts chapter 4 verse 13 says this now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men so they see the boldness of these two men and look at what their responses they marveled and they realized they had been with Jesus when we come together and gather in the presence of God that is when we receive boldness to go out and proclaim his word and we've come together today in this place and I believe the Holy Spirit is going to give you boldness as you leave here today he's gonna tell you to open here preach on the trams to open there preach on the streets wherever you go God wants to use you boldly every single one of you none of you are not able to be used by God God wants to use every single one of you in this place how many of you enjoyed watching hundreds of people meet God last night tonight we want to see thousands of people meet God and in order for us to see thousands of people the responsibility rests on God but also on you and me going into the city and bringing people here tonight this only works if you and I go to the streets and invite the Lost to come and meet Jesus Cod's gonna be sharing the gospel tonight which is going to be so incredible but lets you and me go into the streets and fill up this empty stadium with people that need to hear the gospel we didn't come here to be spectators this weekend and just to watch somebody on the stage I don't know about you but I came here to be a part of it I came here to see the sick heal and to see people encounter God in this stadium right here in Australia so so today as you go out we're gonna equip you with these free tickets you can hand out that have Todd's face on the front and it just says I was shot at nine times but I survived come and hear why and that's all it says on the free ticket that says nothing about God nothing about Jesus so you even have the ability to just walk up to people and say hey he has a free ticket to an event in the Marvel Stadium of course if you want to share the gospel heal the sick please do that I'm not saying don't do that but you have the option there's no Christianese on here there's nothing that's sharps religious event so you're gonna have thousands of these tickets and yes some good news but by the end of tonight's session we would have handed out over 80,000 free tickets on the street of Melbourne isn't that so incredible eighty thousand three tickets in Melbourne inviting the loss to come to this place and meet Jesus so please know that you play a part not happening tonight you are on the front lines you are in the army of God this doesn't work unless you and me go out and bring people to the stadium tonight who's pumped to see a big harvest of Melbourne tonight okay let's stand up this is going out to stand up so I'm going to pray for you in a second but just hold your place what's gonna happen is we have about 300 team leaders waiting for you outside the ring of the stadium when you go out the team leaders will be holding up signs join someone that's holding up a sign and they'll take you to an assigned location which we've given them they'll lead you there if you need help with outreach or you haven't done outreach before they would be more than willing to pray with you and to walk you through what it looks like to overcome the fear of man so what you're gonna do is go outside find somebody there and then tonight the doors open back here at 6:00 and the night session starts at 7:00 so I'm gonna pray right now let's pray that the Holy Spirit and boldness would come upon us God we love you so much holy squirter awesome should sweep through this place right now that you would give us boldness father that you would release your fire throughout this room come Holy spirt God we remember what you did for us father that the righteous are as bold as lions we love you Jesus come Holy Spirit come Holy Spirit we love you God we ask for a great harvest to take place on the streets today father we ask for may need to be healed saved and delivered we also send Jesus name Amen so what what you're gonna do now is feel free to make your way out of the exits the team leaders will be waiting for you you can't leave anything in the stadium please do not try to save seats or leave something in the stadium it'll not be here when you get back so please all leave as swiftly as possible the doors open at 6:00 the night session starts at 7:00 we're gonna have taught white preaching this evening it's going to be amazing have an amazing time on outreach [Music]
