Bethel Church Service | Richard Gordon Sermon | Worship with Peter Mattis, Tobi Adeyeye

Hello Bethl online. We're so excited to be with you tonight. If you are tuning in with us, if you're in America, that means you're not watching the Super Bowl. Wow. Oh my gosh. It's because you're choosing Jesus and we're so happy you're choosing Jesus. Uh I'm kind of kidding cuz I was at a Super Bowl party before church tonight.

But um we're so thankful you're here to worship with us tonight. Guys, we see you. We're waving to you. If you're on Bethl online, if you're watching on YouTube, go ahead and give us um a hello. Tell us your name. Um sometimes we see the the usernames, but it's not maybe your name.

And so it's always helpful for us. We see Adah, we see Janine, Jules, I see Tracy's on the YouTube, Howard, Moses. >> Carus. >> Yeah, we're so excited to be with you. >> And I have my Brazilian people. I I can recognize them already. and Singaporeans. One of my best friends is from Singapore.

She's going home for um the New Year celebration to be with her family. So, yeah, I think that's why she's going home, but she's going to go see her family. But anyways, guys, we're so grateful to be with you. Um I was just telling Yan, you know, I was um with our 10:30 morning service um folks this morning and it was a good message.

Yan and I were both there. Um Yan was with his family and I was, if you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend you go back and watch it. um Havala preached, she prophesied over not only this house but I think the body of Christ. And so we highly recommend you message >> you just listen back.

But um at the end of service we were um going after some words of knowledge and I was going through just the the the chat of like God what were you doing? you know, um I had a a word of knowledge about lower back sciatic pain. And it was so cool because one of the women, uh Leia, she was talking about she's like either I'm tracking with Cassie and I have the exact same word of knowledge or that's my actual pain.

And she said as we were praying, she said afterwards all the pain was completely gone. Uh there was another woman, I think Marca, um and basically she was talking about how she was experiencing a lifting off of the pain and then it was 30 uh there was only 30% pain left.

And so um we're just believing that if you're coming on tonight and you're like, "Wow, wait, I wasn't there in the morning, but I've got pain in that same area, lower left back, or whatever it is, sciatic pain, that God's actually taking that pain away." We've seen it all day that people have been experiencing a decrease of pain.

So, if that's you and you're coming in and you're like, "Wow, they're coming on hot." Well, it's because we want to just track what the Holy Spirit's doing. We're like, we're seeing him move and we want to just bless um what the Lord is doing. So, if that's you, we just want to pray for you that um that God would just continue to do a good work in your bodies.

Um but if you're coming on and you're like, "But I'm starting out. I've got a ton of pain." God, we just command that pain to leave right now in Jesus name. God, that you would bring relief into backbones, that you would bring relief into lower backs, God, that you would just lift off the pain right now in Jesus name, that people would begin to experience even like a lifting off, even like a heaviness lifting.

Um, just even as I'm speaking and I feel like you got Are you feeling anything? >> Yeah. Yeah, I'm feeling something. Um, how can I put this into words? Um, I I believe that it's something that maybe you saw people being healed from the same situation or the same issue and you never got healed from that.

You saw people like besides you and for some reason you're like, "Oh, I I didn't get healed." Um, I really feel that the Lord wants to heal something like in a surprise way. He wants to surprise his children. >> Come on. >> Thank you, God. Thank you, God.

And I also I saw I saw a request about uh William Syndrome as well. Um I want to release a miracle. I really feel yeah I feel faith for miracles this week. Um as a dentist I can I can testify that this is a miracle that needs to happen.

A lady in our Portuguese school. I had a word of knowledge about somebody having a numbness in the tongue. And as a dentist I never saw like any miracle in the mouth. But then I released the word of knowledge and two people they're like, "Hey, I had an accident and my tongue is half numb."

But right after you release the word, uh, my numbness just went away. So I just want to release miraculous healing happening in the bodies right now. DNA is being completely restored right now by the power of the name of Jesus right now. And I see joints being made new right now.

So test out your body. Move your body if you can. Just tell us, type in the chat, what the Lord is doing in your body right now because we want to honor what the Lord is doing right now. >> That's right. >> Wow. >> That's right. I love it.

And just start to um as Yan was saying, test out your body. You know, if you came in and I love what he was saying sometimes um we've seen people get healed for the very condition that um someone else is struggling with. And that's not because God's teasing you or saying, "I'll do it for them, but not for you."

But sometimes he gives us that first like up close and personal testimony view of seeing what is possible through the Lord. So God, we just say um instead of um maybe even hope deferred or disappointment, God, that you would come in with the miraculous, God, that you would come in and move, Jesus, that you would break down any barriers, God, but you would bring healing and hope, Jesus.

And um I even just saw I know that I think it was um Tracy had said she has sciatic pain and cellulitis. And so God, we just bless her, God, that any places where sciatic pain is that it would leave right now in Jesus' name. That any um flare ups of cellulitis, I'm not even sure what that is.

I think it has to do with is it veins? Oh, God, help me. Um whatever it is, God, that you would um >> God, that there would be a reversal of symptoms, Jesus, that we would see even um just an abundance of life in in Tracy's body, God. any places where she's been suffering from um even just a long-term illness like these these symptoms that keep coming keep um like over overreacting in a way.

And so God, we just speak life over her, God, that there would be a peace and a stillness in her body, Jesus, and that she would experience just even um I just feel it again, that lifting off. I feel like for some of you, you're going to watch tonight, you're going to be like, "It's like a heaviness just got pulled off of me."

And so I if that if that's you and you're like, "Oh, it feels weighty on me." maybe do a prophetic off act and just pull off that heaviness that um that you might be feeling. And so we're just reading this chat, seeing how the Lord >> I saw I saw Juan De Santiago, he was um asking prayer about uh cancer.

Somebody was diagnosed with cancer and we just got a testimony. I think it was two days ago. um a couple student of our our Portuguese school, they were here and one of our pastors um she she paired her up with them and they started to pray for a friend of the couple that was diagnosed with cancer.

And in a couple weeks, this lady, she would do an exam again um to then plan out the treatment. But when she went out to do the second exam, they found out that she was cancer-free. So based on the testimony of what Jesus did, we want to release that over your body right now over Anna Elise that was diagnosed with cancer.

In Jesus mighty name, we pray for brand new cells to be made new by the blood of the lamb right now. And we speak healing over her body in the mighty name of Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. >> Good. God's doing something. I don't know um wherever you are.

And and the thing is what I love about healing is so often when you receive a word of knowledge or someone's praying for you sometimes we'll ask what are you feeling? Is there anything shifting in your body and the thing is you don't have to feel anything. >> Nothing has to happen in that moment.

But but often times and we when we check things out we'll actually notice wow I could I can do something I couldn't do even before >> even before we go into worship even before because Jesus is the healer. It's a free gift. Healing is a gift. And so God, we just thank you for how you're touching your kids >> that you're you're you're still healing today, Jesus.

And we're thankful for what it is that you're doing in in places that are seen and in the unseen, Jesus. And so, God, we just bless what you're doing. >> Yes. Yes. Yes. And we want to bless your body to receive even if you don't understand. >> Yeah. >> Even if your mind doesn't understand, even if your heart does not understand, we bless your body to just receive the love of the father.

We don't need to understand. We just get to receive what he paid for on the cross. Thank you, God. >> Yeah. Yan, I want to ask you something. So, I don't know. Um, many of you guys might not know, but Yan is a revival group pastor and he's the manager of Second Year in BSSM Portuguese, U, which is our Portuguese school of ministry.

But Yan used to be a doctor or not a doctor. Y, Yan used to be a dentist. Sorry. You are a doctor, a doctor of teeth. But I've I was telling Jamila Jamila and I were on the on the connect this morning and I was like Jamila we've had so many people asking for um someone to pray for their teeth.

And so I just I mean you're a dentist you've seen not only you know you've done surgeries but you've also seen different >> things and so you've heard different testimonies. I can you just pray if there's anyone who's struggling with teeth pain. I know there are some who are on the chat right now.

K's on there but anyone else who's who's just watching and >> yeah let's just pray. >> All right. So I'll ask you to do something uncommon. Just put your hand in your mouth like that. And Lord, I bless their tooth and I bless their mouth right now. I bless the nerves in the mighty name of Jesus.

I bless all kinds of tissues in their mouths right now. And I pray for the glory of God to wash in their mouths right now like like a mouth wash for your blood to wash away every single thing that is not in line with your kingdom, God. And I pray for good surprises from heaven for them in Jesus mighty name. >> Come on.

Amen. >> Amen. Guys, we're about to go into worship. We've got uh Peter Mattis. We have Aubrey Archebeck and Toby who are leading us. Richard Gordon is speaking. We'll be with you after. We're excited to hear what God wants to do tonight in and through each of us.

We love you and we'll see you after service. >> See you. >> Good evening, church. Welcome, welcome, welcome online church. We're so glad you could join us. How's everybody doing? You ready to party? We don't have to sit on the sidelines tonight and wonder who's going to win the game because we already know Jesus is victorious, right?

So, we have just been praying and gathering before the service. So, in case you're wondering where we are, you can join us for prayer at 5:00 in the great room before we come in here. And so, we just have an overflow of what the Lord was releasing tonight.

As we were praying, we just really felt the Lord highlighting all eyes on him. and he wants to encounter us tonight in such a personal way. Does that sound good? Yeah. I feel like he has secrets and I want to share them. And he said, "No, that's between us.

I have a personal secret for them tonight and for you and for you. Everybody gets to win tonight. Isn't that fun?" And I just felt um that he was really highlighting in Psalms 46. So, I'm going to pop on my glasses. Thank you. You guys are so good and quiet for the word.

It's Psalm 46. God is our refuge and strength, a very present and wellproved help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear. Though the earth should change any changes, we don't have any fear because he's with us. Isn't that good news? And I just felt this one part. I'm all over Psalms 46 here, but this one part I really encourage you.

I feel like Psalms 46 is a word for us in this season. And it says down at verse 10, be still and know, recognize and understand that I am God. So, we need to know that we know that we know he is God. He's got all of this.

He will be exalted among the nations and he will be exalted in the earth. The Lord of hosts is with us. He's with us tonight. And the God of Jacob is our stronghold, our refuge, and our high tower. So, we thank you, God, that we get to come into your presence.

We get to exalt you tonight. We look to you and we are so grateful that we get to partake with you of your divine victory. And we want to celebrate you tonight as we look into your eyes of fire. We say have your way, God. There is no limit, absolutely no limit, what you want to do with us tonight.

Thank you, God. We look to you. come on up and just pour it all out tonight. >> Come on, why don't you stand and worship the Lord with us? The sun comes up. It's a new day dawning. It's time to sing your song again. Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me, let me be seen when the evening comes.

Come on, lift it up. Bless the Lord, oh my soul. Oh my soul, worship his holy name. Sing like never before. Oh my soul. Oh, I worship your holy name. You're rich in love and you're slow to anger. Your name is great and your heart is so kind.

We thank you. Lord, we thank you. >> Lord, we thank you. Just thank him tonight. Lord, we thank you. Lord, we thank you. Lord, we thank you. Lord, we thank you. >> If you're able to stand with us, please do. We're going to pray together. Good evening. >> Hello. >> Hello. >> This This has been amazing.

Often times I tell a worship teams, "Please just take me to heaven and leave me there." You know, this I feel like I got dropped off there tonight. Um there's there's so many things we could pray into right now that would be really legitimate. The thing that stands out to me the most is I was reminded on how uh in Israel's day in the wilderness when it was dark at night, God showed up as a pillar of fire.

When it was hot during the day, he showed up as a cloud. So, he showed up opposite to his surroundings. >> He shows up as the solution to your surroundings, whatever it is. Like he shows up as clarity in confusion. He shows up as increase in lack. He shows up as joy in discouragement.

He just shows up opposite. And he's more ready to show up like that than we are ready to receive. So I think just kind of slap yourself and say, "I'm I'm ready. I'm ready for or or if you don't want to, your neighbor. I'm sure we'll do it.

I'm sure they'll do it. He honestly here's what I want you to do. I I feel like we're just supposed to God revealed himself uh to David in the Old Testament is ba parism, which means God of the breakthrough. God of the breakthrough. So all of us have stuff where we need breakthrough. you know, maybe a health sa situation, could be a family, uh, conflict, relational stuff, any number of things.

And he's the answer for all of it. So, what I want you to do is just grab a hand, grab that sweaty palm of the person next to you, and I want you to pray. In fact, you don't even need to ask them. Usually, I have you ask.

Today, I want you to take some risk, and I want you to pray for whatever comes to mind for them. If it's financial, if it's health, if it's if it's mental, you know, there's so much stuff swirling around right now that there's a lot of conflict in the mind.

And uh so if you think it's that whatever it is, just pray. But here's what I want you to do. Pray out loud. You don't have to yell and scream, but I want you to be able to hear yourself. Have the courage to pray till you can hear your own voice.

And I want you to serve them by praying that the God of the breakthrough would come upon them right now. Lift your voices. Let's pray. >> God of the great God of the Father, for great confidence, great, great spirit. Merry Christmas. I feel Oh, I know you love your Lord have mercy.

Oh Lord have mercy. Lord have mercy. Lord have mercy. Hallelujah. You can drop hands. Hallelujah. >> Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Halleluah. Heat. Heat. One last time. Hallelujah. >> Hallelujah. Hallelu. Hallelu. Hallelujah. Coming power. Yeah. Heat. How about we just lift up a nice shout of praise. Thanks to the Lord.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. The Bible teaches that praise beautifies the worshipper. So before you sit down, just tell somebody how good-looking they are just because they worship Jesus. Amen. >> Amazing. All right, it's on if you want it. >> Good evening, church. I think you you guys are so filled with the Holy Spirit that probably you're not listening.

Wow. What a beautiful beautiful worship moment with the Lord. Wow. Wow. Wow. Let me see if you guys are ready. Good evening, church. >> Let's go. All right. Um, I want to know if we have some visitors that are visiting us for the very first time here at Bethl.

If you're visiting for the very first time, raise one of your hands really high. I see you guys. I see you guys. All right. Can I ask you guys a favor? Could you guys please stand up? If you're visiting for the very first time, please stand up. Come on, church.

Welcome, welcome, welcome. It's so amazing to have you guys here. Um we we're so happy that you guys are here. Um I was I was praying and um the Lord told me that these people that are visiting us for the very first time, the Holy Spirit will tag you guys with kind of like an anointing to seek first the kingdom of God and its righteousness and everything will be added.

There's something that the Lord is doing in your life that he will mark not only you but he will mark your family in your local community. So, I want to bless you guys that are visiting us for the very very first time. Amen. Um, you know, this is such a special night um for me because I'm not American and I don't know anything about NFL Super Bowl.

I I just don't. And people were like, "Hey, we have Super Bowl tonight." I was like, "Oh, nice to meet you. I don't know anything, you know, but if you're here tonight, it means that you're very hungry for the Lord. And I pray that the Lord will mark you in such a special way.

I heard that healings will happen tonight. I've saw one of the best healings for me at least throughout this week and I saw some people with some numbness in the tongue. And for me being a dentist, for me it was like, wow. I saw backs being healed. I saw legs growing out, but I never saw any miracle in the mouth.

But I I saw this week and I really feel that the Lord, he will surprise us tonight and throughout this week. Things that we never saw before, he will surprise us tonight and throughout this week. If you believe in it, say, "Amen." >> Amen. >> I take it for myself. >> I take it for my family. >> And I take it for my local community in Jesus mighty name.

All right, it's time for our tithes and offerings. Welcome up, Kate Mason. >> Good evening, church. >> Cage, I just got back from Brazil. They call me Cage there. I loved it. It was wonderful. I'm so filled with a passion of the Lord that I might make this offering an altar call.

Is that okay? I'm just kidding. You can't do that. It's on the rules, but I would if I could. Um I'm I Brazil was unreal. And I thought I would bring you a really quick anecdote um from my first trip. This is my third trip to Brazil. And as we head into offering, I don't know about you, but sometimes what we're doing in offering in this moment is thinking, how do we posture our hearts for giving?

Well, how do we come before him and say, "Here is what I have to give you. Is your heart in the right place?" And the very first time we were in Brazil, um I was there on a team with just three other people. Uh, and we were in a fabulous church that had really captured the heart of honor and giving.

And I did not know that when we went in, it was a wild night. And at the end of the night, um, unbeknownst to me, the majority of my team were getting given wild gifts. People were taking off watches, they were taking shoes off their feet, they were taking off rings.

I had no clue. But I was approached that night and I got one gift. And uh, there was a young man. It was a really diverse church in a ton of ways, but socioeconomically super diverse. Um, and I got approached by a young man whose heart was to give me something.

And he didn't speak any English, but he kind of knelt down in front of me and he took off his shoes and he gave me his socks. And the Lord knew what he was doing in that moment. My heart was wrecked by this this um gesture of honor.

I received the socks. the socks said on them uh in English the the phrase on one sock adventure on the other awaits. Adventure awaits. That is my family motto. That is the motto I have hanging on my wall in my house. My family can attest when my kids were young, I found a flag that said adventure awaits and is our family theme.

And I received these socks from this young man who gave me what he had to give. And I they were the biggest treasure I received in a really long time. My team laughed very hard at me later when they showed me their many gifts. But I had my treasure socks.

Uh it became quite a good laugh. But my heart before the Lord was on fire and I thought anytime I come to you with an offering, may I always have the heart posture of this young man who is giving something with gratitude and appreciation. And uh that's what we're doing tonight.

So would you stand with me as we uh worship the Lord with our offerings? We'll read offering number one together. And um before we do, I will say if this is not your home church, please save your tithe for your home church. But of course, we welcome your gifts.

And um in a moment after we read this, our ushers will pass the buckets. So as join me as we receive today's offering, we are believing the Lord for jobs and better jobs, raises and bonuses, benefits, sales and commissions, favorable settlements, estates and inheritances, interests and income, rebates and returns, checks in the mail, gifts and surprises, finding money, debts paid off, expenses decrease, blessing and increase.

Thank you, Lord, for meeting all of my financial needs that I may have more than enough to give into the kingdom of God and promote the gospel of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah. Amen. Amen. Please worship the Lord from a heart posture of cheerfulness and gladness as we pass the buckets.

And uh join me in welcoming up uh our speaker tonight, Richard Gordon. Thank you. Thank you. >> Oh Jesus, we love you. >> Jesus, we are obsessed with you. >> You are the bread of life. You're the water that quenches. You are my life, my narrow path. You are the door, the gate, and the pasture.

I love you, Jesus. What I love is when um the stakes are high, Jesus comes through. And if it feels like the stakes are pretty high in your life, I want to give you some good news. We serve the God of the breakthrough. >> And when the Israelites were up against a river, it parted supernaturally.

When Jesus was on the cross, he died. But three days later, he was raised. So, I don't know if the stakes are high in your life, but let me promise you something. When the stakes are high, God comes through. >> Tap three people and say, "The stakes are high.

In moments of shaking, Jesus reenters us. Not by shrinking the gospel, but by purifying what we carry. We are tending. We're in a tender moment as a church. A holy, sobering moment. one that requires humility, clarity, and deep dependence on Jesus. For some, trust has been impacted. For others, confusion has stirred.

For many, pain has surfaced in places that matter deeply. We name that we do not pass it flippantly. And hear this clearly. Jesus is not nervous. The Holy Spirit has not withdrawn. Truth, light, repentance, and love are not threats to revival. They are its foundation. >> Perspective is not avoidance.

Perspective is alignment. Tonight, I want to share some crazy testimonies with you. And uh I do this not out of avoidance, but of alignment in Christ to see a Christ that comes through when the stakes are high. To see a Christ that comes through and does the miraculous.

I want to remind us uh what God is doing globally so we can recognize also what God is doing locally. Lift our eyes to Christ to lift our eyes to Jesus. Um, I just got back from a trip to Brazil maybe was it three or four days ago.

If you're watching from Brazil, I think this what the cool people do. There you go. And I want to show some testimonies. But to uh help me, I brought a massive team with me. So, if you were part of the team that went to Brazil with me, I want you to come on stage with me all over here.

You can come up. Look at these guys. Half of them are single. So, you can kind of stand. Yeah. Why don't you stand? Yeah. Yeah. Why don't you stand? Oh, you might need to sit because there's so many of you. So, just come and mly up. Yeah. Yeah.

Uh I I want your heart to be moved and aligned as you hear the testimony of Jesus. So um I have this crazy heart for Brazil. The so weird a South African living in California that has a heart for Brazil. Um and I had this dream of seeing a nation on tipping point.

I never thought in my wildest dreams that uh we would land in stadiums seeing the glory of God touch places. It it never just it never occurred to me. I grew up with a stammer and a stutter. I never imagined ever being a voice uh in a place like that.

And so it was about I don't know when but I got a phone call by u a new friend of mine teohashi who oversees the dunamis movement and he reached out and they are putting on something called the send Brazil and the send Brazil it happened once three years ago and this is the second time that it's happened but this time they are going crazy they just they took it not they took it like a whole another level so they instead of doing one stadium they did five stadiums simultaneously in different cities.

Over 300,000 people collectively, average age 24 years old, touching a generation. I landed up in a city called Kurachiba and uh in a stadium with over 50,000 people in it. And I want to show you a picture if you can. That first uh slide if you can throw up.

There's the stadium there. So that's one of five. One of five happening simultaneously in that stadium right there. That's got 50,000 people. And just imagine average age 24. So these young people that are hungry for the gospel, Gen Z. And if you could turn to the next moment I'm going to show you is a video.

I just preached on the infilling of the Holy Spirit. Tap someone next to you and say, "You're going to get touched by the Holy Spirit tonight." Just got to preach at 700 p.m. And then this right here, all the lights, Jean Luke preached right after me and he went after miracles.

And all those lights are miracles that happened in the stadium. Crazy. Go to the next slide if you can. And um what they do at the send, I don't know if you've seen it. See, at at Bethl and BSM, we do this thing where we put shoes on the stage.

Have you ever seen it? It's like this prophetic act of fill me, God. Touch me, God. Fill me up with your fire. I want an impartation. These guys, they don't put shoes on the stage. They put shoes in the air >> as a symbol of not just fill me, but send me God.

Send me God. And 300,000 people gathered, five stadiums. This is the 50,000 one. The success factor was not the seating capacity. The success factor was the sending capacity. The success of the event was not how many could gather, but the success was how many will go. And there's a great vision uh with the WOWAM guys and the dunamis guys that are leading this.

The vision is that there would be thousands sent to the 1040 window. Thousand of young thousands of young people committed to be missionaries to the far far places that have not heard the gospel. And it was so wild to watch this. 20,000 people signed up to say I want to go.

It was so wild to watch this. 7,000 people signed up to say, "I want to start a bubble B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B Bible study or be part of a Bible study in my university.

It was wild to see 7,000 people sign up and say, I want to be part of a Bible study in my high school. And so I it was I got so radically touched, not just by the grandeur, but by the vision and mission. We've got to go. We can't just have shoes on the altar.

We need shoes on the air. We need to be so radical that we would dream of going to the most dangerous places. I sat with 25 year olds that were smuggling Bibles into South Sudan. I sat with 29year-olds that had been just in Syrian preaching the gospel radically.

I started to get so challenged as I started hearing stories of these people going to have someone next to you and say it's time to go. I even on my drive on my flight back from Brazil, I I ended up in the airport with a a a preacher by the name of Rick Warren.

And we sat down together and after we sat together, my life was much more purpose- driven afterwards. But we sat down together and he started to tell me what he's giving his years, his last years of his life to. He's 72. And he said this. He said, "I've given my life to growing churches, but now I want to give my life to see the great commission fulfilled."

And he called it uh I think it's finish uh finish the finish the task FTT. And so and he started saying this to me and it was so challenging. He said, "Uh, Rich, so often we have identified the larger mission organizations that would do the heavy lifting for the gospel, but I believe that the local church, the local church is called to be the heavy lifters for the go of the gospel.

That the local church should be touched, empowered, and the scent ones to be preaching the gospel. It can't only be the WWAMs, the BSSM, the dunamis movements. It can't it has to be the local church. And I'm spending the rest of my days inspiring, equipping the local church for the go of the gospel.

And I was like, my life feels so purpose driven right now. To have someone next to you and say, "It's time to go." The first night we got there, I landed myself in a a 4,000 seater Baptist church. And the pastor was trying to introduce the Holy Spirit to his congregation.

I find myself in these places all the time. It's my favorite. So he said, you know, you can't do this, you can't do this, you can't do this, but you can welcome the Holy Ghost. I said, "That's what I'm good at." And uh there were 4,000 people in and then there was speakers outside and 1,000 people in the parking lot.

And we started to preach, respond to the fire. And about halfway through the message, no altar call called, about 1,500 people start running to the altar, hungry to respond to the fire in this Baptist church. And they said, the pastor said, "We've never seen it in the church before."

The fire of the Holy Spirit started coming on all these peoples and miracles started breaking out in the Baptist church, the largest Baptist church in Kuruchiba. He's a dear, dear friend. He's an amazing pastor that is hungry to see the glory of God amongst his flock. Oh, if you can do it in the Baptist church, what if tonight?

Perhaps someone next to you and say it's time to respond to the fire. I think it was on the third night they were there. I was only there four nights. There's a friend of mine, uh, his name's John Paul. It was years ago, he got radically saved. He was a drug dealer.

He got crazy radically saved and he decided to start meeting in a park and preaching the gospel. and uh he started meeting in the park. Three people started gathering and after about four to five years, 3,000 were gathering in this park. He'd meet once a week and there was this massive outdoor evangelistic gathering that happened.

It was radical. He was about 26 when he stopped. He had a anxiety attack and he stopped. And I met him about six months ago and I prophesied to him. And I said that you're going to start again and the Lord's grace is going to come upon you and there's going to be a healing grace and it's going to be bigger than before.

And I said and I feel like we're going to partner together. So he started again. It was about four or five years he hadn't done it. He started again. His first one was in December and 4,000 people gathered. 4,000 people gathered. So much so that the place the outdoor square where they gathered uh the ground the foundation the the city was worried that the whole ground was going to fall in.

So they said if you do it again you need to find a bigger venue. So he found a bigger venue and it was a week ago, it was Monday night, so six days ago, me and him and this team got to preach and not 4,000 but 9,000 people came.

The word just got spread. There was a there was a stage about this big, a wooden stage about this size. Two or three speakers, two people on guitars and a cocoon. No big production. And we preach the simple gospel, >> the full gospel, his death, his resurrection, deliverance, healing, and the infilling of the Holy Spirit.

Full gospel. And it was so wild. Can you play that video? I for me. >> How crazy. Put up the next picture if you can. That's an aerial view of it. 9,000 in attendance. It was in a parking lot right next to the National Museum. And uh that's where they have carnival.

But 9,000 people come. So many miracles, just miracle upon miracle upon. And then we give the call for salvation, my friend Jean Paul. And just so many people giving their lives to Jesus. It's just a sea of flashlights saying, "I want Jesus. I want Jesus. I want Jesus."

And I sat back going like, "What is this world?" They said the average age must have been 23 that came. I don't know about you, but Gen Z is on fire for Jesus. On fire for God. And sometimes we are so looking at our our little world that we forget about what God is doing over here.

And I'm like Jesus. But what I love too is it was probably the best trip I've ever done. But what I love too is that God, he loves to have this moment on the mountain with the thousands, but it's always personal. >> It's always personal. It's always the woman at the well. just one hour before I got here, I got a message from one of the people in Brazilia uh in uh Bella's church.

Uh and they said um cuz when I got there, I saw them, they said, "6 months ago, you prophesied over me that me and my wife would be pregnant the next time you I see I I saw them." And I was like, "Oh, man. I know we're not supposed to do that, but here we go."

And he said, "You know, I don't I don't think we're pregnant yet, but you know, man, I'm just trusting." And so I got home, what, four days ago, and I just got a message an hour ago. He said, "Me and my wife by faith took a pregnancy test.

And we are four weeks pregnant." How crazy is God? How crazy is Jesus? Even in a time where you like question, is the prophetic still profound? Yes. Is the prophetic still powerful? Yes. The prophetic is meant to reveal Jesus, not reveal powerful ministry. And Jesus was revealed. He was revealed through prophesying of a man with anxiety that he would start up again.

It'll be greater than before. And he's revealed to an individual that says, "I want a baby." Ah, I just love how God is about the grand and God is about the one. I want you to hear from a couple of the ones here. What about Ryan? Come on, Ryan.

Ryan. >> Um, so during a little bit of context, three years ago, uh, the whole charismatic, shaking, falling, prophetic, I was really against. I saw Richard one time on my Instagram and I was absolutely offended. I did not like the guy. I was like, "This is this isn't the Lord."

I thought when people shook I used to watch Betty Hinn meetings and I thought when the jacket would come and people would fall, it's like it's fake. It's not Lord. And then or during the trip, we were at Bella's church Sunday night, the whole team was sitting down and Rich was preaching and I saw everyone getting touched by the Lord and I was like, "Lord, it's okay.

You don't have to touch me. I'm okay. I wanted to touch." Um, and while I was sitting down, um, I began to feel from the depths of my stomach. It was very weird, okay? It was a groan. And I began to go said, "Lord, I said, Lord, if this is you, you're going to keep on going and you're not going to stop me."

Dan looked at me a bit weird. He was sitting next to me, but I just kept going and I was very, very weird. Um but then worship started going and when worship started going it got way more intense and it became a roar and it became and my friend comes to pray for me and while he's praying for me I begin to shake under the power of God.

Now understand I've never done this before. I've prayed for people. I've seen them shake. I've seen them fall but it's never happened to me. And I've been asking the Lord ever since uh the the end of first year that he would touch me with power. And I began to shake under the power of God.

And it wasn't emotional. It was just the Lord literally shaking me. And while the Lord was shaking me, I was like, "God, what the heck is happening?" And he said, "Didn't you ask for it?" And I said, "Yeah, keep going." Um, and so absolutely wild. I try getting up off the floor three times.

I'm unable to. The Lord is just I finally look at one of my friends and he picks me up. And while he picks me up, I get calm and then he starts praying for me and it starts all over again. Eventually, Rich calls us up on the stage to pray for I think it was uh 18-year-olds or Gen Z.

And I'm like, "Okay, Lord, let's do it." I'm shaking and I hear the Lord said, "All you can do is groan." And so I'm like, "Okay, I'm already here." So I go up to them in the face and I go and they start falling out in the spirit.

It's the weirdest thing ever. And I really feel like Kate said, "I have permission tonight." So, I really feel like there are people in here that it's starting to happen even inside of you. There's a bit of a groan and it's really, really strange. And I feel the Lord giving people the groan for revival.

And I feel like that's what the Lord marked me with. So, if that's happening to you, just let it keep going. Let it keep going. Be the weirdo. It's fine. Just keep it going. I didn't even believe in this stuff 3 years ago, and here I am groaning into people faces. >> Yeah.

What is that? Wow. What What do you think the Lord is doing inside of you? I think honestly he was he was giving me a groan for a generation. I think the heart of God, it groans for Gen Z and it groans. It wouldn't just grown like three years ago, I was simply someone that would read my Bible and would only would super religious and was super Pharisee.

And I feel like God, he wants to wake up the generations again to something real, the power of God. That we would have men of character and of power again being lifted up in the church today over a generation. And so I think he gave me a groan for a generation um that they would actually experience real authentic revival. >> Yeah. >> Wow.

Can you feel that? >> We're going to build up before you respond, but I want you to bubble. I want you to just be like, "Where's Benji? Benji, come here." >> Ryan, how how old are you, Ryan? 22. >> 22. How old are you, Benji? >> 20. >> 20.

Both men are single. >> Um, I'm a little bit different to Ryan. Uh, I used to before coming to Beth, I would I'd read the scripture and what I'd see in the world was so drastically different. And I was like, I need to see what I'm reading in life.

I need to see the the pull back. I need to see what God's saying come to life. And I remember going on the ship. I never had a power encounter with God. I love Jesus with all my heart. I loved him with everything I could carry. And I was like, Lord, I want to see you.

I want to see you touch not just a generation, but can you change a nation? Can you call a nation back to you? Not just in my family, but a nation. So, I went on the trip now and being in the sense seeing I'd say 30,000 people stand up that are under a certain age and I think the age was 26.

And as a person that had very few Christian friends, I was like, "Oh, if he can do it in this nation, he can do it in every nation. We don't have to limit it to Brazil, but it's going to go from Brazil out. From Brazil out." And the next night in in Bella's church, we were in worship and I don't know what they were saying was Portuguese, but her mom got on stage and I don't know what she said, but I felt the Holy Spirit walk into the room and I started weeping.

I started weeping and I'm not a crybaby. I'm from South Africa. Men don't cry. And and I thought Brazil was going to be throwing chairs at people, doing back flips, stage diving. And I remember standing in the church and the holiness of God walked in. >> And the holiness of God came and landed upon me.

And Rich called us to the front to stand. I don't know. And I tried to toughen up. I said, "Lord, not now. I don't want to cry in front of all these people." And the more I stood in his presence and I said, "Okay, Lord. I love you, Lord.

You're holy. You're holy and I love you. Be lifted high. Be lifted high. I'm tired of looking for a purpose. I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to do in my life. Lord, I'm tired of that. I want to come to you. And I realized in that moment that my purpose is his presence.

That any job that I want to do doesn't matter. If my job doesn't glorify him, it doesn't need to be there. >> And I started weeping. And as while I was weeping, Rich was like, "Hey, I've got a friend from South Africa. He's going to pray." And if I'm honest, I don't know who I was praying for, what I was supposed to say.

It probably didn't make sense, but I said, "God, I'm here for you. Would you wake up a generation? Would you wake up a nation? Lord, we don't want to put confinements over what you're doing, but we want to be with you." >> And I remember after praying, I couldn't even stand because of the holiness of God.

I needed to be on my face. I said, "God, I'm tired of feeling like I'm going to do this on my own. I need to come before you." And what felt like a moment became long. I don't know how long, but it was long. And I started getting visions and the Lord was speaking to me and I saw hundreds of thousands of people gathered in the streets.

Hundreds of thousands of men gathered in the streets for salvation. I then saw a glory cloud. It was a purple glory cloud come in the spirit. And he said, "This is the the cloud of salvation that what you're seeing in Brazil, all these salvations that you're seeing over the youth going to going to pour out over the world."

And I remember getting up after this and Rich was like, "Come pray for the people." Don't know what people, but I said, "I'm coming." And I laid my hands on one or two people and I froze. I was like, "You're so holy. You're so holy. I need to stand and I need to praise you."

I couldn't put my hands on any people. I stayed and I had my hands up and I said, "God, would you come, >> Lord? Would you awaken what's in me? Would you use me as a yielded vessel?" >> And in that moment, I realized that he wasn't looking for someone with an ability.

He's not looking for ability. He's just looking for us to say yes. >> He's just looking for us to say yes for what he's calling us into. and we left the church and we went for dinner and it was about 1:00 a.m. and I couldn't even I sat in the presence.

I didn't want to see anyone. Didn't want to talk to and I wanted to be with Jesus and walking away I went from someone who was hungry to see to someone who's seen too much to look back. And now I know that there's a a call over my life to step out and do something. >> And we don't have to wait for the go ahead.

We just need to go. >> I feel like we so often waiting to hear a voice say it's time. But he's already said it's time on the cross. The whole encounter that he took me through was about the holiness of God. The holiness of Christ and Christ crucified.

And I feel like he's doing the same for all of you tonight. He's saying, "Are you ready? Are you ready to go out and do something?" >> It doesn't have to be profound or to 10,000 people, but if it was for one >> and each of us touched one, >> imagine the multitude >> that would come into the kingdom of God.

It's all very vulnerable and I'm trying to invite you guys into a journey. But it's just a bit of what he's done inside of my heart this past week. And I can see it happening to you guys. >> How many of you guys come lay hands in prayer? >> You know, we knew Benji when Benji was about four years old.

He grew up in the same church as my wife. Uh he was a he was a baby. And uh now he stands on the stage sharing a testimony when he went to Brazil with me and and having his first radical touch from the Holy Spirit. There's something people say God is about, you know, it's about the grand, the big, it's about the personal.

And there's this young man who was not walking close to the Lord three years ago. He's there just getting radically touched by the Holy Spirit, marked for a generation, declaring that my purpose is his presence. Wow. You may think this is normal. This is probably the third time it's happened right here.

What you're witnessing is not a spectacle. You're witnessing an invitation that when the stakes are high, God comes through. Oh, put a hand on someone next to you. Just start to pray. There's a window right now. Some people feel like it's tense. I feel like there's an invitation into the narrow way and the narrow road.

And on the other side is more glory. While Benji gets touched, why don't you share it? >> Um, yeah. Uh, it was one of the nights when Rich preached and he ended up having us do words of knowledge for healing and I had a word of knowledge for like a hip joint or something and I was like, "Okay, I'll pray for whoever comes up with a hip joint issue."

And as we stood in the front and had people come up, the first girl that came up to me, um, she told me she had gone blind in her left eye. Wow, I feel the Lord. Um, and I think that sometimes when you're praying for people and someone that's blind comes up, you're like, "Oh, God, God, please fill me cuz I can't do anything here."

And yeah, me and my friend who interpreted for me, we just began to pray. And I asked God like, "God, how do you want me to pray for this girl?" And she told me that her other eye, there was an issue in her cornea and she had already had surgery on it.

And the same thing was happening to this eye and it was like a degenerative disease and she had had issues with like her spine and all of her connective tissue. But yeah, I had her cover like her good eye and she was like, I can't I can't see like I can't see anything.

It's so it's just a big blur. And yeah, so I prayed for her and I I just as the Lord led, I prayed against um trauma in her life and the trauma in her connective tissues and even like word curses. Um yeah, I feel like the Lord told me to break word curses.

And I prayed for her once and I had her check and she was like, "Oh, I think it's getting better." And I just was like, "Okay, we're going to praise God. He's doing something. We praise you, God. You're doing something here." And I think we prayed three times.

I told her the second time, "Oh, Jesus prayed um twice for a blind man." The first time the blind man said, "I see people walking around like trees." And then he prayed again. And so we're going to pray again. And after the third time, I had her open her eyes and she immediately started to weep because the lights had been behind me on the stage and she couldn't see because of the lights.

They were already making her vision blurry. And she immediately knew like, "I could see. I can see." And I kept being like, "How do you feel?" through my interpreter. "How do you feel? What are you feeling?" And she was like, like, "I have no words. I have no words."

She kept saying this. "I have no words. I have no words." And I just was like, "It's God. It's God. God healed you." And I had her cover what was before her good eye. And she was like, "I can see. I can see." Praise God. >> Yeah. Praise God.

Yeah. Yeah. >> Hey, um, apologies about the voice. There's a rough trip with loudness. Jesus. Oh my goodness. >> Jesus. Blind eyes. Blind eyes open because of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Isn't this just alarming? Then it just like just you just Okay. So, um I I um you know, I don't I said this when I was in Brazil.

I don't have any titles. I don't have any official leadership positions. I don't have any authority. But I'm a man on fire. And uh before I grew up in church, missionaries kid, pastor's kid. Um and uh you know, I'm 50 years old and I've never seen anyone heal.

I've prayed for hundreds of people. actually stopped praying for people. I didn't think it was fair. I kept telling people, giving them hope, and nothing happened. So, for years, I I wouldn't pray. I would still prophesy and do other things. I love Jesus. I just wouldn't pray for healing.

And uh never seen the power of God really move through me when I prayed for anyone. Was always just like, "Oh, that's nice. Thank you. And uh then uh there just a few moments we we prayed. We ministered to a bunch of people was amazing. And I can't really explain this.

I don't really know how to articulate it well. But it was like there was just two or three times where the the it was different like there was a gravity to it where I where I released something where God used me to radically change people. Not just to make them feel better.

And that's all good. I'm not trying to diminish that, but I mean like proper radically encounter them through my words. Now Richie Gordon is standing right there. Why on earth is he using me? But he did the night with the you saw all the people outside. People came like afterwards it sort of ended and then we had been praying for people and people came and they they sort of just formed a line.

I don't know what how that happened but I was with the sante. She's um my little South African daughter. She um we prayed this lady came up and she said, "I've got a hernia. It's about that big." And so it was right there on her hip. And a sante put her hand on her hip right on top of it like it was big like that.

And I put my hand on a sante. Then we prayed that God did a miracle like it disappeared like just like that. And then like God's like that was just a hernia. So, a lady came with a tumor in her neck. I just got to say, you know, you're a massive part of this.

The constant hope and encouragement. >> So good. >> Words will never be enough. >> So true. So, a lady came with a tumor on her neck and we watched that dissolve. >> Praise God. >> Like just God just started to move through us and to us. You know, about 18 months ago, my prayer changed from God move through me.

Yeah. You got to like there's more of you at any cost. >> My prayer changed to move from move through me to just more. I just want more of you trusting that he would just do whatever needs to happen. And so all I could say is I'm changed.

Like I am changed. And he has done a work in me and through me that I just am astounded at the at what he's done. Great work. >> How did I even get How did we How did we get there? How were we How were we How were we in Brazil at a at a at a turning point in their nation?

Who are we? We are like you, the burning ones. We're no different. Prayed for hundreds of people. A pastor's kid, a missionary kid. Gave up. 50 years old. Gave up. And then a tumor dissolves under his hand. My god. That'll realign you right there. You can't ever be the same after that.

You can never be the same standing in front of someone and they've got a blind eye in front of you and you start to pray and not your gift, not your grace, but his Christ, the burning one, the flame. He comes and the blind eye opens, the tumor dissolves.

Oh, I don't want to just put shoes on the altar. I want some shoes in the air, God. Send me, God. Commission me, God. Oh, it's crazy that it's the 24 year olds, you know, the young ones that are so radical that they're willing to go to Iraq and Sierra Leone and and there's me here at 40 and I'm like, you know, it's just there's something on this generation that is challenging me and inspire inspiring me.

You heard from a 22-year-old and a 20-year-old. It's like, I'm hungry. I need God. And look at this picture. We've got a man in his 70s, Bill, praying for a man in his 50s who had just seen his first miracle. It's like, this is, you may think, oh man, this is just for the young zealous.

No, this is for everyone. This is for everyone. This is for my neighbor who said he wanted to be here who's 10 years old. This is for the 50-year-old, the 22year-old, the man with his cowboy boots up in the air here, and the person with her Converse shoes up in the air here.

This is for everyone. This is not for simply the anointed and appointed. You know, religion creates a hierarchy where power is centralized amongst a few to create control. But Jesus comes and he decentralizes the power by bringing another called the Holy Spirit. and the Holy Spirit, the person of the Holy Spirit comes in you so that the power of Christ is within you.

Wow. No longer is it centralized around a few on a stage, but now all shoes can get in the air. Even that lady's high heels over there. That wild. These testimonies are not stories. They're invitations. Don't you love it? I just I'm obsessed. I'm obsessed. This is realigning me.

The Lord sent me to Brazil so that I could get realigned so I could come back, carry some fire. the season we're going through, there is a hesitation to stop turning towards the fire. And I want to tell you, we are always going to be turning towards the fire of God.

We have not come to play church. We have come to embrace the fiery Christ. Just cuz my friends in the room, I haven't seen her in so long. It just no coincidence. She's here. What? Lisa, why don't you come up quickly? 10 years ago, I met Lisa. And 10 years ago, she was given, she can correct me, she was given six months to live.

Incurable disease in a wheelchair oxygen tank. her husband who's sitting there. Jeff, good to see you. He missed the Seahawks game for this. He wheeled her in in a wheelchair and we're in a meeting where the power of the Holy Spirit touched her. And why don't you tell tell us what h where you were, what happened, what you're doing now.

Yeah. um being a wife and a mother and a grandmother doing life and then getting a diagnosis of cancer. Um and then the diagnosis kept coming and coming and coming and coming 12 years of being a professional patient spending 30 45 days at at a time in intensive care ICU.

They knew me by name in the emergency room and they'd say, "We'll do the best that we can, but we can't guarantee that you're going to leave." And then when there's nothing else to do, they put you on hospice and they send you home. And um it was just years and years in the valley of death.

And my husband and I, I got sick when he got home from the mission field from Peru with our son. and spent 12 years not doing anything but being a professional patient. So then uh Richie came with the team and um I mean I'd been a Sunday school teacher.

I had done all you know missionary work but I had never encountered the power of God and I'm sitting in the back cuz I was known as the lady you couldn't touch her at church. You could not touch my chair. You could not even come up to greet me because I would drop and w in pain. the muscles would tear off my bones.

I was on 30 milligrams of morphine three times a day and that didn't even touch it. So, I mean it just there was they gave me no hope and I was there and uh I'm just sitting there worshiping and I'm just like Lord I know you're here and then it's all you know they shout out it's Richie or someone says someone needs a covering and it's you and this lightning bolt just shot all the way across the sanctuary three feet down and I'm laid out on the floor.

My husband couldn't catch me and it was just like this laid out and I see >> this is the first time something like this has ever happened to >> ever happened to me and I hear footsteps and I see these sandals. I see shins and I see the hem of a white garment and I see my life playing before me.

I love photography. absolutely love photography and the Lord is playing my entire life in the negatives of film. The little black and white, every scene, past, present, and future is playing before me. And he says, I have overcome every negative word. I have overcome every negative word, past, present, and future.

My whole being leapt. I I got up and I started just screaming that the fullness of Isaiah 53:5 just filled my entire being and I knew my life was never the same again and it wasn't for me. And what do you do when the fullness of the power of God hits you?

You go back. I went back to school. I got a masters of divinity and chapency which is ministry outside the church. I got a doctorate of ministry chapency. And now when my husband dismissed the chaplain for me because I died and they came for him, I'm now the chaplain and I work as police, fire, and hospital chaplain and I'm there to be available for the Holy Spirit to move. >> Crazy.

Crazy. That's wild. And this it being here is just amazing and in awe because I could never get here. We tried we we tried I couldn't sit in the car because the pain was so bad and the muscles I would be screaming on the side of the road and we tried to come but Richie came to us. >> Tell them tell them about um you told the doctors that you healed and they said it's impossible cuz it's in your DNA. >> Yeah.

They >> and then they they tracked you for a year. >> Yeah. They they want you to keep, you know, I have to keep going back and every year I get my blood tests, you know, and they tell you how good you are and what was there >> they cannot find now.

So there's not there's measure, you know, it's not there. So >> So they told you this is in your DNA. It cannot be removed at all. And then they did a test on your DNA and they couldn't find it. >> Did whatever. Yeah. those tests and that there's nothing.

So they go back and now they don't even test anymore for it cuz they just go once a year. >> That's wild. >> That's wild. So I don't know if you can grab like the grandeur of this moment. She was supposed to die. She had never experienced the power of the Holy Spirit.

And then in a wheelchair with an oxygen tank, the power of the Holy Spirit touches her. She sees the feet and the sandals of Jesus, not the hand of man, the hand of the son of man. Well, the feet of the son of man. And then suddenly all her symptoms go and the doctors can't understand why the rare disease is not in her blood and her DNA.

And then, do you know what I love about Lisa is she then turns to the fire and she goes and says, "I'm going to get my doc, my masters in divinity, my doctrine in divinity, and now I'm going to sit at the deathbed of people. Tell them my story, and I'm going to see miracles happen."

Tell them tell about the three the three people that were brain dead. >> They Yeah. So, in the last year, um, we've seen cuz one of them was my my husband, but when we're just available when you show up, you're just available. It's not an agenda. You're just there and declared dead going to get the family to discharge the next day because God healed them, >> resurrected them from the dead. >> Three people. >> Three people. >> Grace.

That is wild. >> I had to check it cuz I went the next day and I'm like, "What?" And they weren't there cuz they got discharged. >> That's crazy. Jeff, you ever thought you'd be married to a doctor? Now, when you got your when you started getting your masters and your doctorate, you were a grandmother.

Hey, it's never too late, guys. Did you hear that? When she started her masters and her doctorate, she was a grandmother. >> Don't you just love when people turn to the fire and get a son by the fire of God? Wow. >> She's going to stay behind and pray for people that need incurable diseases.

We um we've ministered together in a number of places and we have seen some of the craziest incurable diseases healed. Like when we've ministered, we've seen ED, we've seen things like it is wild. There is such a miracle mantle upon this woman. I'm so glad you're at the death bed of people.

So glad that three of those dead people have risen again. Tap three people and say, "I got to turn to the fire." You can take a seat. Oh, yeah. >> I want to preach uh a word right now and I'm going to give you an invitation to respond.

Uh it's going to be short, but I think it's going to calibrate you. Uh it's in uh if you can turn turn to Exodus chapter 3. And while you turn there, um, I just want to share, you know, Joshua and Joshua came and crossed the Jordan. Joshua went across the Jordan.

And it was obedience to the word that got him to cross the Jordan. And when he was obedient, the waters parted supernaturally and he seized the promised land. It creates a biblical pattern of how do we seize land on the earth through obedience to the promise. And he moved across and the waters parted supernaturally.

And then comes Jesus to the river Jordan. And Jesus comes to the river Jordan and instead of going across the river Jordan, Jesus goes under the river Jordan. And instead of the River Jordan supernaturally parting, the heavens supernaturally part. And so we have this biblical picture of how do we take land on the earth through obedience and courage?

And how do we cultivate an open heaven through humility? And is it one or the other? Obedience or humility? No, it is both. It is both. humility to have an open heaven and obedience to take ground. We're in a season of a church and a posture of humility and obedience, radical obedience.

And in Exodus chapter 3, where's Tanya's going to read it for me? Verse 1 to2, cuz she was a professional, what is it? a professional voiceover artist. >> Yeah, she does. She does those adverts and all the things. You can use this one. >> It's on. Hello, family.

Okay. Exodus 3:es 1-2 13. Mhm. >> Okay. Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in the flames of fire within a bush.

Moses saw that bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire, it did not burn up. So Moses thought, "I will go over and see this strange sight, why the bush does not burn up." When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, "Moses, Moses."

And Moses said, "Here I am." "Do not come any closer," God said. "Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground." Then he said, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob."

And at this Moses hid his face because he was afraid to look at God. The Lord said, "I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt, and I have heard them crying out because of the slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey, the home of the Canaanites and the Hittites, the Amorites, the P perisites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

And now the cry of the Israelites have reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are pressing them. So now go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt. But Moses said to God, "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?"

And God said to him, "I will be with you, and this will be the sign to you, that is I who have sent you. When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain." Love it. I still want to define what the fire of God is.

Charismatic circle is something like the fire. The fire of God is the active presence of Jesus. It's revealed by the Holy Spirit. It purifies what is misaligned. It illuminates what is hidden. And it empowers people with the supernatural grace. We see that in Malachi 2. He is like a refining fire.

He will purify. We see it in John chapter 3. The light shines in the darkness. It illuminates. And we see it in Acts 2. There were tongues of fire that rested upon each of them. Empowerment. So now we've got this picture and I want to take you through a biblical pattern of how to respond to fire and if you can the word ex Jesus means if you can see it in the scriptures and the word hermeneutics means what does it mean for me?

If I just show you the ex Jesus, the the biblical pattern, I've given you a a theological essay that maybe you won't read. If I just give you the hermeneutics, what does it mean to me? I'm giving you an opinion. That's my opinion. But if I can give you the ex Jesus and the hermeneutics, if I can give you what it says in the biblical pattern and the view of what it means today, we have a pattern on which you can follow that's biblical and for today.

That's my hope in the next 10 minutes that I can actually give you a pattern of how you can respond to fire. And I would propose this is what is happening right now. We have an opportunity to turn or to turn. The first time I went into a prophetic meeting, my wife dragged me in and it was a Bethl minister dancing up and down on the stage and a bunch of my friends thought this was too crazy and they left.

I'd never felt the love of God like this before and I stayed. It was on the third night of staying that the power of the Holy Spirit touched me and I fell out under the power of God and for seven days I shook under the power of God, sweated under the heat of heaven and my entire life was changed.

In in Exodus 3:2, we have a picture of Moses and he says this, he saw that the bush was burning. What I want to show you here, the fire was already burning. It wasn't because Moses saw it that it was burning. The fire of God was already burning.

And I want to propose that Christ is a picture of the fire here. Jesus, a theophony of Christ in the Old Testament right here. This fire is burning today. Would you see it? Would you be able to recognize that there is a fire burning or would you be distracted?

And Moses says this, he saw that the bush was burning. You can have two people in a field. One person is tending to the sheep and ignores the fire. And you can have another person that's tending to the sheep and says, "There is a fire burning." You can have two people in a situation that is purifying.

And you can have some that say, "I'm going to just this is too much for me. I'm looking here." Or you can have some that said, "I see a fire. I see a fire of purification. I see a fire of illumination. And I see a fire of empowerment.

I'm turning to the fire. We see this. This is this is the invitation to the body to say, would you turn or would you turn like my friends and say, "I'm going home." For me, I stayed. And my goodness, did I get commissioned. The fire reveals hunger. The hungry turn and look.

In verse three, it says mo. It says, "I will turn aside and see." Moses does not just look at the fire. He actually moves towards the fire. You You could be hungry enough to actually look, but are you hungry enough to move? Are you hungry enough to actually put legs and obedience and movement or are you looking just interested?

Some will be in the room and they will see God himself. They'll see an invitation of the fire of God. They'll look, they'll observe, they may critique and criticize, but few will be bold enough and humble enough to say, "I see that fire and now I'm moving towards that fire."

Many of you moved here not because you were curious, but because you were courageous. Many of you moved here not out of skepticism, but you moved because you were like, "I see a fire. I don't want to be an observer. I want to be a participator. I'm moving towards the flame.

Moses interrupted his routine. Oh no, I'm too busy. I've got this business. I got this thing. No, there's a fire. And that fire never stopped burning. That fire never stopped burning. and he's waiting for you to respond not just with your eyes but with your feet. Revival will cross productivity.

I love a man crawling on the floor here. It's never convenient. It requires pursuit. Fire doesn't require explaining. It requires approaching. Moses didn't understand. He didn't He couldn't fully explain. I was with a friend in a car and she started to pray this and it and it shook me for the last few weeks.

She prayed this. I pray that your spirit would lead you and not your soul. And when she prayed that it was something shifted inside of me and I realized responding to the fire is not an emotional thing. It's not of your will, your motion and your mind. It is a response of the spirit.

It is a response of the spirit. Your soul requires answers now. Your soul needs clarity now. Your soul needs 100% agreement now. Your soul wants quick response now. But the spirit quick to listen, slow is the spirit. The spirit operates in faith where there is not 100% clarity, but there is faith in the unseen.

The spirit doesn't desire full answers. The spirit desires truth and love. What is a better leader? The soul or the spirit? David says this, he speaks to his soul. How crazy is the scripture? He says in Psalm 42:5, "Why are you you downcast, oh my soul? Hope in God." says, "Bless the Lord, oh my soul."

Don't forget all his benefits. This testimonies, he's speaking to his soul and he's getting his soul to align with the spirit. Oh man, if you're going through something, I pray you are not soulled. Oh, imagine being led your life through your emotions. Woo. Imagine being led your life through the spirit.

The soul's reaction to an event. You have the event lens with all the facts about the event. Then you have the personal lens with all your pain from the past and all the if you had leadership wounds or clergy hurt or where the event lens and the personal lens overlap that's your reaction.

Okay? And once you realize that you can have empathy for everyone's reactions and you can have empathy for your own and then you have a decision to make. Will I be led by my soul or will I be led by the spirit? You're like, "No, Rich, I don't know.

Aren't isn't aren't me and Christ one?" When you get saved, your spirit is redeemed, but your soul is being sanctified. Some soul, some areas in your soul get sanctified in a moment. Some, it takes time. That's why addicts sometimes they get saved, but then 6 months later they your soul is not the best leader.

Your spirit redeemed in Christ will lead you in places of truth. Oh, that's where the glory is. To have someone next to you and say, "I want to be spiritledd." I believe Moses was spiritled here. That his eyes were not because of curiosity, but it was the spirit that drew him.

I believe that his feet were not because he was passionate and zealous. No, but it was the spirit that led him. I believe you can have two men in a field. one that that turns away from the fire and he's like, "No, too much." And one that can be there and is led by the spirit and responds to the fire.

This is good. I'm joking. When Moses walks towards the fire, verse 4, when the Lord saw that he turned aside, God called to him, "Moses, Moses." Some of you are waiting for God to speak and God says, "Come to the fire." No, God, speak to me. I need a message.

I need a word from you. And he's waiting for you. Come to the fire. Can you see the biblical pattern? God doesn't speak to Moses until Moses recognizes, responds, and then a personal message comes to Moses. Moses, Moses. God doesn't give something general. It becomes personal. But he had to respond to the fire with his eyes and with his feet.

Some of you are here going, "What must I do with my life?" And God says, "Come to the fire. No, but I need I need I need purpose. Tell me what to do. What's my assignment? What's my commissioning? Come to the fire. The place that purifies, the place that illuminates and the place that empowers.

Come to the flame. When God speaks Moses, Moses, the encounter is not generic. It's personal. Don't you love that? You waiting. God, do you know my name? Come to the fire and find out. Come to the fire and find out. And then in verse 5, it's uh God says, "Take off your sandals for this is holy ground."

And so Moses takes off his sandals. He takes off his shoes for it's holy ground. What does God What is this pattern that we see here? Fire reveals God, but holiness reveals us. God says, "Before I anoint you with power, I want to anoint you with purity. You need to take off the shoes."

The shoes represent the past, all the dust that you've walked in before. And he says, "Come to holy ground. And then in verse 10, the commissioning moment. So now go, I am sending you. Go, I will meet you. There's this uh there's this picture of God. He he waiting for the commissioning.

God, what should I do? Give me my assignment like my friend Lisa. Am I supposed to go into the hospitals and tend to the God first meets her in the fire, touches her, she responds, God commisss and she responds and she goes to school and she gets a masters, a doctorate and now she is doing a calling.

People are like, "God, what am I calling?" And God says, "Come to the fire. Look at the fire. respond to the fire and then God will get personal. Do you know what I love is when God gets personal, he says, "Moses, Moses." And Moses responds to and he says, "Here am I."

It's a picture of humility and a picture of obedience. The obedience that takes the ground and the humility that opens the heavens. It's like, "Here am I." We're in a moment where the stakes are high. Uh people in their personal lives, you're like, "Things aren't perfect, things aren't successful."

God doesn't call during your highest successful time. You know, the Israelites are imprisoned and Moses is in the field and that's when he gets called. And he often gets called. You may think, "Oh, is this for charismatic meetings?" No. while he was doing his profession, while he was doing his vocation, while he was at home with the kids, while he was in the field with the sheep.

Put whatever your daytoday is, there is a fire burning. Will you turn? This must have been at a service. This was during his dayto day. There was a fire burning and he turned. Oh, I just If the Holy Spirit is a force, you'll always be waiting for a moment.

But if the Holy Spirit is a person, it's a dayto-day walk. And in his everyday, the fire burns, he turns, and his life is turned upside down. Moms, while you're rocking babies, there is a fire burning. There's a fire burning and a counter waiting to happen. doctors, while you are doing your profession, there is a fire burning, waiting for you to turn.

Right now, there is a fire burning, waiting for you to respond. The stakes are high and this is where God comes through the best. Would you respond or would you be like my friends that said, "Hey, not for me." There can be two men in a field. One, a fire burns and he says, "I'm not looking at that.

Not now. I'm too busy. I'm too distracted. I've got too much going on. This is too painful." And there can be another standing in the field. So, there's a fire burning. I'm going to look with my eyes. I'm going to move with my feet. God speaks personally. And then again there is a response.

Here am I humility. Let me take off my shoes because I can't bring the past into this. I need purity. And then the commissioning. Bam. Go and set my people free. Tonight people are going to get radically commissioned. I want everyone just to close their eyes right now.

I don't feel like I've come to preach tonight. I feel like I've come on assignment to bring alignment. I don't think these testimonies are a showoff of a great ministry. I believe this is an alignment of a risen Christ. I I believe that it's a picture of what God is doing on a global level, but it's a invitation of what God can do on a personal level.

If there are people willing to respond to the fire of the Holy Spirit, I believe there is a God willing to commission. He doesn't choose the most capable. >> He uses the most available. He doesn't choose those that are the most qualified. He chooses those that are the most humble and on their knees.

I I look at some of these people that God uses and I'm like, God, why them? Because they responded to the fire where there were others in the field that just turned aside. We're in a time right now where we could turn aside to a fire of purification, a fire of illumination, a fire of empowerment.

And I do not want to. Jesus Christ is that burning bush. And then when Jesus came on the earth, he came in a bodily form. But now Jesus is burning in the place of people. And there is a fire right now. Every eye closed. You would say to me, "Rich, I want to be one of the crazy ones that even in the midst of distraction, even in the midst of pain, even in the midst of all the stuff that's going on, even in the midst of it all, I don't want to be led by the soul.

I want to be led by the spirit. I want my spirit to get my eyes locked on the fire of God, Christ. And I want the spirit to guide these shoes of peace so that they would move towards the Christ, the fire of God. And I want the spirit to guide my lips that would say, "Here am I, God."

And I want my the spirit to guide me to take off my shoes, put me on my knees so that I would be commissioned. If you would say to me, Rich, I want to be with a crazy shepherds that has their shoes on the altar and their shoes in the air.

I don't want to just be one that comes to receive from the fire. I want to be one that gets sent by the fire of God. I want to be one that doesn't just come to get a touch, but one that comes to get commissioned and go a go for the gospel.

This is not a time to back down. This is a time to stand up and run to the fire of God. When the stakes are high, this is where Jesus comes in his might and his power. I'll tell you this, the road is narrow. The road is not broad.

The road is narrow. And the way for open heavens is humility and obedience. >> Would you be one of the crazy shepherds? Turn your eyes, take your feet, and run. Can you just go to people that are getting touched by the Holy Ghost right now? Oh, we bless what the Holy Spirit is doing.

The Holy Spirit is not a force. He's a person. He's a person. And just like he did for Ryan, who had never experienced his power. Just like he did for Ryan, who had never experienced his power, the Holy Spirit is empowering people with his fire. If the Lord is leading to you, I want to invite you to respond.

For some of you, it means getting out of your seat and coming forward to the front and saying, "God, in this moment, I am turning my eyes and I'm moving my feet and I respond to the fire. Not just simply to be filled, >> but God, to be sent and commissioned.

I don't know what to do with my life." God says, "Come to the fire. I I I feel like I need direction. God says, "Come to the fire." God, I'm looking for a word. God says, "Come to the fire of God." The fire that purifies, the fire that illuminates, the fire that empowers.

It's the same biblical pattern. It's the same biblical pattern. I can feel the burning Christ. Uh, what I love about Lisa's story is that it didn't happen in Brazil. It happened in Washington. Oh God, right here, right now, the bush is still burning. The bush is still burning.

Inviting shepherds to respond. More Holy Spirit. More Holy Spirit. Ask for your fire to rest upon a people. More God. More God. More Holy Ghost. I sense the Lord. Like Ryan said, young people getting touched by the lion. Even the manifestation that he spoke about, it's happening across this place.

Holy Spirit, I pray for your fire. I pray for your fire, God. In the fire of God, miracles are just easy because it's not the minister that heals, but it's the healer that heals. If you need healing in your body, just just come to the fire. Come to the fire.

Oh God, as a church, we turn our eyes to the purifying one. As a church, Lord God, we turn our eyes and we turn our feet and we do not be led by our soul, but we choose to be led by our spirits, God, and we run to the fire of God. >> Those if you can hear my voice, everyone just put your hand on your hearts and you can say this after me. >> Soul I bless you. >> Oh my soul, would you be blessed?

Say this after me. Oh soul, do not forget all God's benefits. Soul, I bless you. Now spirit, I choose >> for you to lead me. Lead me to Jesus. >> Lead me to Jesus. >> Oh, many are going through crisises in their lives. And you think, if I could just get over this crisis, then I then I'll give everything to Jesus.

Let me tell you, now is the perfect time. Now is the perfect time. This is the perfect time. Some of you, it's like everything, it's like it's everything's not going right for you. And telling you, now is the perfect time to turn. Now is the perfect time to move.

Holy Spirit, I pray that your fire would rest upon us as a movement. Holy Spirit, I pray that the fire of the Holy Ghost would come upon the purifying fire and the tongues of fire. Oh, Holy Spirit, I pray that you would not just come on a movement, but you would come on us personally, individually, Lord God.

Uh if you're sitting in your seat, just start to make your way forward and lay hands upon people that you see the Lord touching. But if the Lord is doing something with you, I bless you. But uh come and be part of somebody's breakthrough. If you're just sitting observing, don't be an observer.

Holy Spirit, with the fire of God, come and touch us personally and corporately, Lord. Personally and corporately, >> we see 300,000 Brazilians at the average age 24 responding to the fire. Oh God, I respond to your fire. As the Lord is touching people, he's not just touching you with an encounter shoes on the altar.

He's going to commission you, Holy Spirit. I pray that you would commission a people. You'd speak to them through whispers in their spirit and you would say, "Go, go for the gospel. Move." I see the Lord commissioning people. I see the fire of God touching. I see a people responding.

And I see a commissioning you to pray. Find >> go find Hannah Pig and we're going to get you to pray. >> More Holy Ghost. If you need to go, I understand. More Holy Spirit. More Holy Spirit. More Holy Ghost. More Holy Ghost. >> You just pray more Holy Ghost.

Holy Spirit, we honor your presence. Holy Spirit, would you stir up the walls inside of us? Holy Spirit, would you come in your power? Would you come in your holiness? We long for you. We long for your presence. Holy Spirit, we ask for more. We ask for you to come with an outpouring, Lord.

Holy Spirit, would you grab our hearts? Would you grab our hearts to walk in obedience, to walk where you're leading us to follow and to turn to the fire? Holy Spirit, would you wind into flame the fire that you've started right now? Holy Spirit, we ask that you come in power.

We ask that you come in power. Holy Spirit, we thank you for your presence. We welcome you to come and turn the tables of our lives. Would you come and inconvenience us? Would you come and inconvenience us, Holy Spirit? Would you come and inconvenience us? Would you throw our plans out the window?

Would you pull us into alignment with where you're going? Holy Spirit, we thank you. >> We thank you, Holy Spirit. You're going to pray, >> morph, God. Our God, I pray you do a deep work. If you're watching online, I pray that you respond to the fire. You don't have to be in a service.

Moses was in the field tending the sheep. There is a fire burning waiting that would you respond for God wants to commission. The question is not is God lighting a fire. The question is will you respond to it? The question is not is there a fire burning. The question is will you respond?

The timing is not right. God. Let me tell you a truth. The timing is always right to respond to the fire of God. Especially when you think it's not. When the stakes are high, he comes through more. You're going to pray. And then you pray. Oh Jesus, we love you.

Jesus, we love you. Jesus, fix our eyes on you. We turn aside to you. We throw off the past and we run toward you, Jesus. And I just see him burning up things of the past >> as we run towards him. As we look to him. Jesus, show us the one.

Show us the ones in the room. >> The ones who feel overlooked, the ones who feel unworthy. >> Show us them. Lead us to them. >> Whatever you want to do, >> Jesus. We look to you. We look to you, Jesus. >> Thank you, Jesus, that you use us.

That you delight in using us. Ordinary people just ordinary people, we come humbly. Ordinary people use us. Jesus, use us. We love you, Jesus. We welcome you Holy Spirit. We welcome you Holy Spirit. Jesus. fores. Let's take a moment and pray in tongues. Oh, this is holy ground.

This is holy ground. She see I sh I sh I Yes, God. >> Yes, God. Yes, God. Yes, God. Yes, God. Yes, God. Oh, Holy Spirit, we honor you today. We thank you, Holy Spirit. Would you come baptize us? God, we thank you for your glory in your presence.

God, we thank you that you're marking the nations and you're marking the one. Would you come baptize us and all consuming fire? You're our heart's desire. One >> living flame of love come us. Come baptize us in all consuming fire. You're our first living flame of love. Come baptize us.

Come baptize us in consuming fire. You're our heart's desire. Living flame of love. >> Come baptize us. Come baptize. >> If you're watching online, >> we bless you guys. This same fire that we're experiencing in this room. We just pray that it would fill your living rooms, your cars, your kitchens, your dining rooms.

Oh, your bedrooms and that the Lord would just come and meet you. That the same holy ground that not just at Bethl church, but the holy ground that we're talking about in Exodus 3 where Moses sees the burning bush, that holy ground. That holy ground, God, that that you would come that you would come.

I saw so many people beginning to get touched by the fire of God. And just listening to the testimonies had me just um actually just weeping before the Lord saying, "God, this is who you are. >> This is this is you. You're the one that transforms us. You're the one that changes us to become more and more like Jesus."

And God, we just we welcome you. We want you. And I saw so many people getting getting filled by the Holy Spirit tonight. And God, we just pray that you would touch people, God, that you would fill them with your fire, Holy Spirit. That you would come and baptize us aresh.

And God, I pray that we would just get to receive that you don't have to do anything to earn it. You don't have to do anything to make that happen, but just receive the fresh baptism of the Holy Spirit. God, we just bless what you're doing. >> Yes. >> And so we say, Holy Spirit, would you increase?

And wherever you are, just put your hands out to receive. It doesn't have to happen in your hands. You might feel a tingling in your toes. You might feel the groan like the student did. >> However, God wants to come. Whatever he wants to do, I pray that you would experience the power of the Holy Spirit right here, right now.

And if it's your first time, if you're not even sure what that is like, God, I pray that you would come, that you would move, it would be you, that you'd be speaking just like that student said. He knew it was the Lord. And it started in something so simple and it just only increased. >> Yeah. >> We've seen it happen online.

Oh yeah. Time and time and time again. We've both been revival group pastors >> and we've seen student after student. No person touched them but the Lord touched them. And so God, what we've seen hundreds of times, God, what we've seen countless times, God, that you would do the same thing right now all over the globe, God, where you'd begin to touch your people and baptize them aresh.

Would you touch your people, Holy Spirit? >> Yeah. Yeah. And coming from Brazil, the first time that they did that event, the descend event in the stadium, that was when I got to say, "Lord, do whatever you want through my life." And it was when he he sent me here to do what we're doing now.

To see our nation being touched by the power of God. you know, >> he can do so many things by our yes because he's worthy and he's able. And I really feel what Richard was saying. This is a commissioning moment. And if you're feeling the power of God right now, if you're being touched by the Lord, don't overthink.

Don't think this is your emotion. Don't think this is your your mind playing games with you. This is the power of the Holy Spirit that is touching you right now. It's the fire of God. The fire of God. The fire of God. A 23 guy saw the Lord moving in his life.

A man in his 50s. >> It it it's not about the age. It's about the power of our Lord and Savior. >> That's right. That's right. It's really cool. We're seeing um a testimony right now of a woman, Jennifer, who said, "After seven years of a traumatic brain injury, the Lord healed my eyes."

And God, we just thank you that you're still in the business of healing people. >> Yes, Lord. >> That you're not just uh >> you're the God of the Bible, but those stories you said we would see even more Jesus. And >> and we just thank you, God, for the miraculous.

We thank you, God, for the miracles not only happening um in stadiums, God, not only on um the stage, God, but right here, wherever you are, that you're experiencing God right now. that he is touching you, that he's healing you, that he's filling you. And Holy Spirit, we just say have your way.

Have your way. Whatever you want to do tonight, God, we just say have your way. If you want to come in in fire, God, if you want to come in power, if you want to touch us with peace, if you want to fill us with your mercy, if you want to fill us with your joy, God, we say come and have your way.

We're your people. We love you. >> We just want to look at you to lock eyes and see you, our beloved king. Yeah. >> And however you want to move, God, >> we're okay with that. >> Yeah. And Lord, I pray for this to not just be a service or to not just be a encounter.

This is a turning point in our lives, God. That we will seek your glory. We will seek your fire. Doesn't matter the cost. in Jesus mighty name. Lord, I pray for this to be our new reality following you, to seek you, to to thirst for you, to hungry for you in Jesus mighty name, Lord.

In Jesus mighty name. >> Yeah, guys, we we um I just can feel the the I don't know like the the the I almost said blanket, the presence and like the blanket of God. I can feel the heaviness, um the joy and and guys, whatever it is that's available for you in this room, it's available for you where you are.

And so, turn to him. Have your own moment. Maybe you just put yourself in a position where you um pull out your Bible and you look at Exodus 3 and you're go and you're like saying, "God, that same thing. I want that in my own life." Whatever that looks like, I want to look to you.

If you even sense maybe this is him, look at it. that that bush was burning but it wasn't consumed. What does that look like? What does that look like in your own life? So God, we just say, would you call us that we're ready? We're ready to encounter you.

We're ready to know you. And so we're just going to invite you into that space wherever you are, whether it's Sunday night, whether it's Tuesday or Wednesday morning. You're I saw some people are watching at work and they're experiencing the love of the Lord just weeping and they're like, "What would I do if my co-workers came in?"

Well, who knows? But at least you get to enjoy the Lord. And so we just bless this time to encounter him, to know him, that you would experience him in in whatever ways that he's showing up. But we just bless what you're doing, Lord. And we just say thank you.

It's a joy to get to encounter you, to know you, to experience your presence, God. >> Yes. Yes. But one thing that I also want to encourage you, don't leave this place until he says so. I remember that I had to go to the bathroom because that was the only place that nobody would bother me in my workplace.

Whatever you have to do, follow him and seek him and don't turn away from the fire. We bless you guys. >> Yeah, we bless you guys. We'll see you next week. I see you.
