The Call of Jesus

0:00:05.667,0:00:09.318
Welcome to this series[br]"The Call of Jesus".

0:00:09.318,0:00:14.468
Step by step, we are going through [br]what Jesus has called us to in Luke 10.

0:00:14.468,0:00:18.520
We have now come to chapter 15:[br]"Wipe Off the Dust."

0:00:18.520,0:00:21.501
And this is very, very important.

0:00:21.831,0:00:26.949
We have seen that Jesus wants us to go out[br]and find a person of peace.

0:00:26.949,0:00:30.515
A person of peace is somebody[br]the Holy Spirit is drawing,

0:00:30.515,0:00:34.301
is somebody who's ready to receive[br]Jesus.

0:00:34.301,0:00:35.460
They are ready.

0:00:35.460,0:00:36.617
And they are many out there.

0:00:36.617,0:00:41.998
We have heard about it, how the harvest[br]is ready, but the workers are few.

0:00:42.338,0:00:47.064
But if you want to be effective[br]in finding the person of peace,

0:00:47.064,0:00:49.556
you need to listen to what [br]Jesus is saying here,

0:00:49.556,0:00:54.535
when He talks about how we need[br]to wipe off the dust and move on.

0:00:54.925,0:00:58.021
Because if you don't understand this...

0:00:58.151,0:00:59.867
...you would not be effective.

0:00:59.867,0:01:04.768
You would not be effective when it comes [br]to finding the person of peace.

0:01:05.625,0:01:09.196
What I will share here, in this video,[br]is very, very important.

0:01:09.296,0:01:12.819
It already has been a blessing for many,[br]many people out there.

0:01:12.819,0:01:17.569
It's so important if we want to be effective[br]in the Kingdom of God,

0:01:17.569,0:01:20.902
if we want to see homes and entire cities[br]come to faith,

0:01:20.902,0:01:23.702
as I spoke about in the last video.

0:01:23.702,0:01:27.532
In the last video we looked at what Jesus[br]was saying in Luke 10:7,

0:01:27.532,0:01:31.234
where He said that we should not[br]move from house to house.

0:01:31.384,0:01:36.601
In this video we are going to move forward[br]a little and jump to verses 10 and 11.

0:01:36.601,0:01:40.734
Why? Because that is really connected [br]with finding the person of peace.

0:01:40.734,0:01:42.934
And I want to talk about that first.

0:01:43.284,0:01:47.264
Jesus is saying in Luke 10:10-11:[br]"But when you enter into a town

0:01:47.264,0:01:50.484
and are not welcomed,[br]go into the street and say,

0:01:50.484,0:01:55.594
'Even the dust of your town [br]we wipe off as a warning to you."

0:01:56.304,0:02:01.040
What Jesus said here is very, very[br]important, if you want to bear good fruit.

0:02:01.040,0:02:06.102
If you want to bear good fruit,[br]you need to listen to His words,

0:02:06.102,0:02:11.400
and be fast to take the dust[br]off your hands and feet and move on.

0:02:11.400,0:02:14.568
It's not often we talk about it,[br]but it's important.

0:02:14.568,0:02:19.053
Try to imagine if you are a farmer[br]and you have some seed in your hand.

0:02:19.373,0:02:24.218
If you take that seed and sow it in [br]the ground that doesn't bear fruit,

0:02:24.930,0:02:28.335
you can keep sowing the same seed[br]in the same ground,

0:02:28.335,0:02:30.664
but it will not bear fruit. Why?

0:02:30.664,0:02:33.268
Because the ground is not ready for it.

0:02:33.268,0:02:37.585
But if you take the same seed instead[br]and sow it in the different ground,

0:02:37.585,0:02:41.433
some good ground, [br]it will suddenly bear a lot of fruit.

0:02:41.433,0:02:43.827
And this is what Jesus is saying here.

0:02:43.827,0:02:47.902
He said: If people will not receive[br]our message...

0:02:48.032,0:02:52.534
then take the dust off your hands[br]and feet and move on.

0:02:52.534,0:02:56.951
Don't continue just putting the same seed,[br]in the same people. Why?

0:02:56.951,0:03:00.171
It will not bear fruit.

0:03:00.251,0:03:04.236
When I started to tell people about Jesus[br]many, many years ago,

0:03:04.236,0:03:06.284
I did not know what He was saying there.

0:03:06.284,0:03:08.702
I was not aware of what He was saying.

0:03:08.902,0:03:12.135
And because I did not know [br]what Jesus was saying

0:03:12.325,0:03:18.300
I spent too much time just talking[br]to the wrong people

0:03:18.300,0:03:21.333
and I did not bear a lot fruit.

0:03:21.333,0:03:26.568
I did not know, at that time,[br]that some of the people I will meet

0:03:26.828,0:03:28.868
were people who were not ready.

0:03:28.868,0:03:32.751
And with some of those people, I should have [br]just taken the dust off my hands and feet,

0:03:32.751,0:03:36.882
and I should have just obeyed Jesus[br]and moved on.

0:03:36.882,0:03:38.518
But I did not know that.

0:03:38.518,0:03:42.206
So instead, when I met people who were[br]not interested,

0:03:42.206,0:03:44.599
I often ended up discussing with them.

0:03:44.599,0:03:46.084
You need Jesus!

0:03:46.084,0:03:47.668
No. [br]Yes, you do!

0:03:47.668,0:03:50.401
No. I don't want Jesus.[br]Yes, you need Jesus.

0:03:50.401,0:03:52.385
And people were not interested.

0:03:52.385,0:03:55.802
We just discussed, and discussed, [br]and discussed.

0:03:55.802,0:03:59.968
And I thought that the reason they[br]did not want Jesus is because

0:03:59.968,0:04:02.283
I was good enough to evangelize,

0:04:02.283,0:04:07.202
so I tried to be better,[br]I was practicing, I was preparing,

0:04:07.202,0:04:12.391
and if they came with questions:[br]Er, what about Darwin? What about evolution?

0:04:12.391,0:04:15.168
I thought: Oh, I need to give them answers.

0:04:15.168,0:04:19.765
So I went home, and I studied about Darwin,[br]I studied about evolution,

0:04:19.765,0:04:24.205
and I went out again. And I thought:[br]Now they are ready to receive.

0:04:25.111,0:04:26.850
But no one wanted.

0:04:26.850,0:04:30.033
Because when they asked a question:[br]Hey, what about Darwin?

0:04:30.033,0:04:34.525
And you gave them an answer... Hmm. [br]They just asked a new question.

0:04:34.525,0:04:37.248
Why? They were not a person of peace.

0:04:37.248,0:04:40.945
They did not want [br]to give their life to God.

0:04:40.945,0:04:43.360
They were not ready [br]to give their life to God.

0:04:43.360,0:04:45.881
The Holy Spirit was not drawing them.

0:04:45.881,0:04:49.427
And my words were not going to do it alone.

0:04:49.837,0:04:53.236
But what did I do?[br]I was spending a lot of time

0:04:53.236,0:04:58.334
studying evolution, and Darwin, [br]and different religions, Mormons,

0:04:58.334,0:05:01.951
Jehovah's Witnesses...[br]I was studying all of this because I thought

0:05:01.951,0:05:05.683
I needed answers for everything,[br]if people want to receive God.

0:05:06.843,0:05:11.056
But I did not see anyone of those people[br]come to Christ.

0:05:11.336,0:05:13.735
I should have done what Jesus has said.

0:05:13.735,0:05:17.915
If people wanted to discuss with me, [br]when people were not open,

0:05:17.915,0:05:20.534
when people did not want to listen...

0:05:22.384,0:05:24.382
...I should have just moved on.

0:05:24.482,0:05:29.983
If I have moved on, instead of spending [br]all my time with people who don't want it,

0:05:29.983,0:05:34.750
I could have moved on, and I could have [br]found those people who want it.

0:05:34.750,0:05:36.967
And this is so, so important.

0:05:36.967,0:05:41.813
Don't waste your time on people[br]who don't want to listen.

0:05:41.983,0:05:44.633
Because when you have used your time[br]one time,

0:05:44.633,0:05:46.299
it's not going to come back.

0:05:46.299,0:05:48.149
When you first have sown that seed,

0:05:48.149,0:05:50.833
you cannot sow it again.

0:05:50.833,0:05:53.225
If you want to be a good farmer,

0:05:53.225,0:05:55.252
if you want to see good fruit,

0:05:55.252,0:05:58.167
you need to be ready to move on.

0:05:58.167,0:06:01.978
You need to do what Jesus is saying.

0:06:02.068,0:06:04.772
He is saying: The harvest is ready.

0:06:04.852,0:06:07.256
He is saying: The harvest is ready.

0:06:07.386,0:06:09.252
He is saying that we should go out

0:06:09.252,0:06:10.747
and find a person of peace.

0:06:10.747,0:06:13.252
He says that when we find a person of peace

0:06:13.252,0:06:14.669
we should stay in their house,

0:06:14.669,0:06:16.234
we should eat and drink what they serve.

0:06:16.234,0:06:19.020
He says that we should heal the sick[br]and we should preach the gospel.

0:06:19.020,0:06:21.517
But He does also says...

0:06:21.517,0:06:22.733
...that we should move on,

0:06:22.733,0:06:25.661
if people will not listen to us.

0:06:25.851,0:06:28.617
If I today, for example, should go out [br]on the street,

0:06:31.257,0:06:38.404
I will maybe stop 20 people[br]before I find that one who is open.

0:06:38.834,0:06:47.201
And because I don't waste all my time[br]with the first people I meet,

0:06:47.201,0:06:50.115
discussing, discussing, discussing,

0:06:50.115,0:06:55.752
I will find a person of peace,[br]much more often than I did before.

0:06:56.062,0:06:59.601
Before, many years ago,[br]when I was out evangelizing,

0:06:59.601,0:07:02.772
I met somebody who did not want God,[br]so I thought: You need it!

0:07:02.772,0:07:04.384
No, I don't want.[br]You need it.

0:07:04.384,0:07:06.249
And I ended up discussing with them.

0:07:06.249,0:07:11.217
And it was hard, and I went from one person[br]to another, and three people...

0:07:11.217,0:07:13.800
And suddenly I have been discussing[br]with three people.

0:07:13.800,0:07:16.318
And I went home and I was tired.

0:07:16.318,0:07:19.235
I was so tired. I was saying:[br]What is wrong?

0:07:19.235,0:07:22.333
The people in Denmark don't want God.[br]There's no people here,

0:07:22.333,0:07:24.532
or people in America, [br]and no matter where I was...

0:07:24.532,0:07:27.729
People don't want God.[br]They are not open.

0:07:28.179,0:07:32.035
They are. [br]Just not those few I talked with.

0:07:32.035,0:07:36.433
Instead of spending one and a half hour[br]with that person discussing,

0:07:36.433,0:07:39.633
half-hour with that person,[br]half-hour with that person,

0:07:39.633,0:07:42.717
if I have been fast in moving on...

0:07:42.717,0:07:46.967
I would have come to number 15, [br]or number 10, or number 8 -

0:07:46.967,0:07:49.899
that person who is ready to receive.

0:07:50.339,0:07:54.696
And I would have seen so much more fruit.

0:07:54.916,0:07:57.415
So, when Jesus said...

0:07:58.275,0:08:01.337
If people will not receive your message,[br]then take the dust off your hands and feet

0:08:01.337,0:08:05.179
and move on -[br]He really, really meant it.

0:08:05.699,0:08:10.282
In Acts 13 we can read[br]how Paul and Barnabas did it.

0:08:10.282,0:08:12.102
They did what Jesus said.

0:08:12.102,0:08:13.388
We read here, Acts 13:50-51:

0:08:13.388,0:08:16.800
"But the Jews stirred up the devout and[br]honourable women,

0:08:16.800,0:08:22.567
and the chief men in the city, and raised [br]persecution against Paul and Barnabas,

0:08:22.567,0:08:25.359
and expelled them out of their coasts.

0:08:25.359,0:08:31.890
But they shook off the dust of their feet[br]against them, and came unto Iconium."

0:08:32.150,0:08:34.706
Here we can read how Paul and Barnabas,[br]actually,

0:08:34.706,0:08:38.101
did what Jesus has commanded us all to do.

0:08:38.701,0:08:42.769
They were at place where people[br]did not want to receive the message.

0:08:42.769,0:08:44.850
They started to discuss and argue.

0:08:44.850,0:08:48.868
But they did not stay there and [br]kept arguing and discussing with them.

0:08:48.868,0:08:55.808
No. They obeyed Jesus, so they took[br]the dust off their feet and moved on.

0:08:56.138,0:09:00.352
And because they moved on,[br]they came to Iconium,

0:09:00.352,0:09:02.583
and we read here, in the next verse[br](Acts 14:1):

0:09:02.583,0:09:06.250
"And it came to pass in Iconium,[br]that they went both together

0:09:06.250,0:09:09.434
into the synagogue of the Jews,[br]and so spoke,

0:09:09.434,0:09:15.947
that the great multitude both of the Jews[br]and also of the Gentiles believed."

0:09:16.997,0:09:21.484
What we read here was that Paul[br]and Barnabas were one place,

0:09:21.484,0:09:24.969
and in that place [br]people did not want to listen.

0:09:24.969,0:09:28.799
They only wanted to argue[br]and they created persecution.

0:09:28.799,0:09:30.922
What did Paul and Barnabas do?

0:09:30.922,0:09:32.348
They obeyed Jesus.

0:09:32.348,0:09:36.100
They took the dust off their hands[br]and feet and they moved on.

0:09:36.100,0:09:41.516
And the next place they came,[br]we read how the great multitude,

0:09:41.516,0:09:46.650
both the Jews and Gentiles [br]came to faith.

0:09:46.650,0:09:53.595
If they have spent all their time[br]the other place, discussing...

0:09:53.895,0:09:58.409
they would not have seen [br]that great multitude coming to faith.

0:09:58.619,0:10:01.666
If you want to see people come to faith,

0:10:01.666,0:10:03.768
if you want to see many people[br]come to faith,

0:10:03.768,0:10:05.931
then you need to do like them -

0:10:05.931,0:10:09.584
don't waste your time [br]on the wrong people.

0:10:09.584,0:10:13.370
Don't waste your time[br]on people who don't want to listen,

0:10:13.370,0:10:16.001
who don't want to get saved.

0:10:16.001,0:10:19.218
But I really want these people[br]to get saved.

0:10:19.218,0:10:22.367
Yes, you want.[br]And I want people to get saved.

0:10:22.367,0:10:24.435
And God wants. But do you know...

0:10:24.835,0:10:26.728
if they don't want it...

0:10:26.728,0:10:28.467
they don't want it.

0:10:29.737,0:10:31.415
Give them time.

0:10:31.415,0:10:36.733
Give them time to come to a place[br]where they are ready to open up.

0:10:36.733,0:10:39.667
Because if they don't want to get saved,

0:10:39.667,0:10:42.191
and you keep preaching to them,

0:10:42.351,0:10:46.785
the only thing you do is...[br]their hearts harden even more.

0:10:46.785,0:10:48.035
And I've seen that.

0:10:48.035,0:10:52.393
I've seen again, and again, and again,[br]people who did not want to get saved.

0:10:52.393,0:10:55.017
They were not ready.[br]They were not person of peace.

0:10:55.377,0:10:58.218
But they have their friends and family[br]around them

0:10:58.218,0:11:01.068
who keep preaching to them,[br]who keep preaching, and preaching,

0:11:01.068,0:11:03.352
and preaching, and preaching,[br]and preaching to them.

0:11:03.352,0:11:06.901
And they did not want it, but they[br]kept preaching, and preaching, and preaching.

0:11:06.901,0:11:09.085
They did not want it and they argued[br]against it,

0:11:09.085,0:11:11.971
but they kept preaching, and preaching,[br]and preaching to those people.

0:11:11.971,0:11:13.898
Do you know what happened?

0:11:13.898,0:11:17.218
They did not come to God.[br]The came farther away.

0:11:17.218,0:11:21.392
They started to harden their hart[br]and they became bitter.

0:11:21.922,0:11:25.118
Don't preach to people who[br]don't want to listen.

0:11:25.118,0:11:27.351
Don't keep doing that.

0:11:27.351,0:11:30.951
Give them time to come to that place[br]where they are ready.

0:11:30.951,0:11:33.452
And in the meantime you can move on

0:11:33.452,0:11:36.634
and find people who are ready to receive.

0:11:36.634,0:11:39.332
Let me read something from this chapter[br]in my book.

0:11:39.332,0:11:42.483
"In the past, when I went out to evangelize[br]on the street,

0:11:42.483,0:11:46.105
I only stopped three of four persons[br]within one or two hours

0:11:46.105,0:11:49.351
because I always had very long discussions.

0:11:49.351,0:11:53.986
Yes, I had discussions with them about God,[br]evolution, and science,

0:11:53.986,0:11:57.181
and after our discussions finished,[br]I went home

0:11:57.181,0:12:00.493
without ever finding the person of peace.

0:12:00.493,0:12:04.986
I went home thinking there was something[br]wrong with the harvest

0:12:04.986,0:12:08.068
because those I met were not open.

0:12:08.068,0:12:12.935
Yes, I thought the harvest was not ready[br]and plentiful, like Jesus was saying,

0:12:12.935,0:12:16.484
because I did not see those (few)[br]I talked to

0:12:16.484,0:12:18.511
wanted to have anything to do with God.

0:12:18.511,0:12:24.301
This was my experience until I started[br]to wipe the dust off and move on

0:12:24.301,0:12:26.618
like Jesus said I should.

0:12:26.618,0:12:32.935
When I did that, I saw that it is actually[br]just as Jesus says.

0:12:32.935,0:12:37.167
If your experience is that the harvest[br]is not ready and plentiful,

0:12:37.167,0:12:39.601
you are looking in the wrong place.

0:12:39.601,0:12:45.665
Maybe it is time to move on and not spend[br]all your time on the wrong people."

0:12:46.665,0:12:52.236
Those words can seem very hard -[br]just move on and don't spend all your time.

0:12:52.966,0:12:55.716
But it's right thing to do.

0:12:55.936,0:12:57.868
It's the right thing to do.

0:12:57.868,0:12:59.735
Give them over to God.

0:12:59.735,0:13:03.288
Take those persons, pray for them,[br]and give them over to God,

0:13:03.288,0:13:07.598
and let God bring them to that place[br]where they are ready to receive.

0:13:07.598,0:13:11.212
And in the meantime be effective[br]in the Kingdom of God.

0:13:12.022,0:13:15.835
In this chapter in my book[br]I tell a story about...

0:13:16.135,0:13:18.236
I come with some example about it.

0:13:18.236,0:13:21.885
One example is a woman [br]I led to God some years ago.

0:13:22.975,0:13:27.249
She got born again, received the Holy Spirit.[br]It was very beautiful.

0:13:27.249,0:13:29.984
And then she invited me over to her house

0:13:29.984,0:13:32.884
because she wanted me to preach[br]to her brother.

0:13:33.084,0:13:36.511
She invited her brother over to [br]her house also.

0:13:36.511,0:13:38.418
And there were some other people there.

0:13:38.418,0:13:44.426
I sat down, eating, drinking, and then [br]I started to share the gospel to her brother.

0:13:44.426,0:13:47.784
But very fast I found out [br]that he was not ready.

0:13:47.784,0:13:52.885
I tried a few times to get it in, [br]I brought it up, but every time he just...

0:13:53.885,0:13:57.433
shifted the conversation [br]and he did not want to talk.

0:13:57.663,0:14:01.451
So, instead of having an evening where [br]I just sat and discussed the whole night,

0:14:01.451,0:14:04.417
I just talked about other things with him.

0:14:04.417,0:14:07.444
I went to his sister afterwards and said:

0:14:07.444,0:14:10.700
I know you want your brother to get saved,[br]but he is not ready.

0:14:11.000,0:14:15.799
Don't keep preaching to him.[br]You are just pushing him more and more away.

0:14:16.019,0:14:18.034
Just give him over to God.

0:14:18.034,0:14:20.136
Let him over to God, [br]pray for him.

0:14:20.136,0:14:25.801
Do what I have said here and then[br]go out and find some person of peace.

0:14:25.801,0:14:28.868
She wanted him to get saved,[br]but he didn't want.

0:14:29.508,0:14:30.981
That was the truth.

0:14:30.981,0:14:36.238
What happened here?[br]One year later I was back the same place.

0:14:36.238,0:14:38.102
And this time he was there.

0:14:38.102,0:14:41.949
And this time, when I shared the gospel, [br]he opened his heart and said:

0:14:41.949,0:14:43.351
I want it. I want it.

0:14:43.351,0:14:48.250
God has brought him to a place[br]where now he was ready.

0:14:48.250,0:14:50.225
And that night he received[br]the Holy Spirit.

0:14:50.225,0:14:53.101
He got baptized in water[br]and he received the Holy Spirit.

0:14:53.101,0:14:56.869
And it's so important that [br]we understand how God is working.

0:14:56.869,0:15:01.918
Don't harden people's heart by keeping [br]preaching to people who don't want it.

0:15:02.218,0:15:04.233
They are just going to attack you[br]in the end.

0:15:04.233,0:15:05.936
They are going to be bitter.

0:15:05.936,0:15:08.235
Jesus is saying that in Matthew 7:6.

0:15:08.925,0:15:11.736
"Do not throw your pearls to pigs.

0:15:11.736,0:15:15.668
If you do, they may trample them [br]under their feet,

0:15:15.668,0:15:18.448
and turn and tear you to peaces."

0:15:19.138,0:15:21.088
What does Jesus say here?

0:15:21.088,0:15:26.117
Jesus says: Don't give the gospel[br]to people who don't want to listen.

0:15:27.057,0:15:30.237
They are not going to appreciate it. [br]They are going to mock it.

0:15:30.237,0:15:33.673
They are going to attack you[br]with it.

0:15:33.873,0:15:38.216
No, when you meet people who[br]don't want to listen,

0:15:38.216,0:15:40.572
then move on.

0:15:40.572,0:15:42.192
Move on to the next people.

0:15:42.312,0:15:43.550
Move on.

0:15:44.010,0:15:45.519
And keep moving...

0:15:45.519,0:15:49.128
until you find those people[br]who are ready.

0:15:49.368,0:15:52.208
When you do that, you will see[br]what Jesus is saying is correct.

0:15:52.208,0:15:53.947
The harvest is ready.

0:15:54.167,0:15:56.832
The harvest is ready.

0:15:58.252,0:16:00.295
The harvest is ready,[br]but the workers are few.

0:16:00.295,0:16:03.905
Or, the workers, they are there,[br]are too busy in the barn,

0:16:03.905,0:16:05.778
doing other things.

0:16:05.918,0:16:09.952
The workers are too busy[br]with the wrong people.

0:16:09.952,0:16:12.515
They are too busy doing other things

0:16:12.515,0:16:17.816
instead of finding that harvest [br]that is ready.

0:16:18.296,0:16:20.885
So, this is very, very, very important.

0:16:20.885,0:16:23.306
I encourage you to start to do this.

0:16:23.636,0:16:26.649
Look at those people who are[br]in your life already.

0:16:26.969,0:16:32.017
If there's people in your life[br]you have spent months or years on,

0:16:32.437,0:16:36.041
and you have never seen them[br]come to Christ,

0:16:36.041,0:16:38.384
and they actually started[br]to harden their hart...

0:16:39.364,0:16:40.722
move on.

0:16:41.222,0:16:44.860
Don't continue spending the time[br]on those few people.

0:16:45.450,0:16:46.671
Move on.

0:16:46.951,0:16:50.811
Go and find somebody[br]who is ready to receive.

0:16:51.031,0:16:53.194
When you do this, you will be surprised.

0:16:53.194,0:16:56.162
They are out there, [br]those people who are ready,

0:16:56.162,0:16:59.852
those people who are calling on God,[br]those people who are seeking.

0:16:59.852,0:17:01.834
They are out there.

0:17:01.834,0:17:03.535
But you will not find them

0:17:03.675,0:17:07.754
if you spend all your time[br]on the wrong people.

0:17:08.274,0:17:10.659
Later in this book [br]I will put it all together.

0:17:10.659,0:17:15.440
I will put all of this together,[br]we have talked about, with the call of Jesus.

0:17:15.650,0:17:17.852
But until now, please, pray.

0:17:17.852,0:17:21.834
Pray with me.[br]Pray that God will send out more workers.

0:17:21.834,0:17:26.435
And then pray that God will lead you[br]to the person of peace.

0:17:26.435,0:17:32.168
Pray that God will open your eyes[br]to see who is not that person of peace.

0:17:32.538,0:17:35.984
And have that in your mind,[br]when you talk with people.

0:17:36.194,0:17:39.900
And then you practice. [br]You'll become better and better to recognize

0:17:39.900,0:17:43.208
who is the person of peace[br]and when shall you move on.

0:17:43.368,0:17:45.354
In the beginning it can be very difficult.

0:17:45.354,0:17:47.927
You know, every beginning is difficult.

0:17:47.927,0:17:51.101
In the beginning is difficult, like:[br]is this a person of peace

0:17:51.101,0:17:53.183
or is not a person of peace?

0:17:53.373,0:17:56.417
Is this a person of peace [br]I should sit down and talk with,

0:17:56.417,0:17:59.518
or is that somebody I will just end up[br]wasting my time?

0:17:59.518,0:18:03.801
In the beginning it's difficult [br]but you try and then you learn,

0:18:03.801,0:18:06.868
and then you grow,[br]and then you become better

0:18:07.118,0:18:12.816
to recognize where is the good harvest.[br]You become better to recognize

0:18:12.816,0:18:17.734
who are those people[br]who are ready to receive.

0:18:17.734,0:18:24.546
And then, when you find those people,[br]you will know what to do.

0:18:24.546,0:18:27.102
You will sit down with them.[br]You will lead them to Christ,

0:18:27.102,0:18:28.901
baptize them in water[br]and Holy Spirit,

0:18:28.901,0:18:32.836
heal the sick, cast out demons,[br]as we are going to look next time.

0:18:33.116,0:18:36.343
And you will bear so much fruit.

0:18:37.643,0:18:40.462
So let's do what Jesus did.

0:18:40.952,0:18:44.293
Let's do what Jesus' disciples did.

0:18:44.553,0:18:48.400
Let's do what Jesus has called us to do.

0:18:48.570,0:18:50.510
You know, Jesus did the same.

0:18:50.890,0:18:54.831
He did not end up discussing[br]with those Pharisees.

0:18:54.831,0:18:57.850
He said something clear to them[br]and then He moved on.

0:18:57.850,0:19:05.219
And where do we find Jesus?[br]He was sitting in the house of the sinners.

0:19:05.219,0:19:09.299
He was there to bring salvation[br]to those who were lost.

0:19:09.299,0:19:11.957
He did not come to call righteous,[br]self-righteous people.

0:19:11.957,0:19:15.117
He came to call sinners to repentance.

0:19:15.117,0:19:17.385
He came to bring healing to those people.

0:19:17.385,0:19:20.231
We are going to look at that[br]in the next lesson.

0:19:20.231,0:19:22.115
God bless you! [br]Bye-bye!

0:19:24.499,0:19:26.153
The Call of Jesus
