WEBVTT 00:00:02.687 --> 00:00:04.338 The Call of Jesus 00:00:05.505 --> 00:00:10.757 Welcome to lesson 23: We All Need Family. 00:00:11.037 --> 00:00:15.054 We have been looking at many things, when it comes to finding the person of peace, 00:00:15.054 --> 00:00:18.503 and going out, and preaching the gospel, and healing the sick, 00:00:18.503 --> 00:00:24.074 and casting out demons, and all of this is so, so important. 00:00:24.354 --> 00:00:28.004 But there is more, because what do we do when we have done that? 00:00:28.004 --> 00:00:30.691 What do we do when we have found that person of peace 00:00:30.691 --> 00:00:32.705 and led them to God? 00:00:32.705 --> 00:00:37.320 In Matthew 28:18-20 Jesus says this: 00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:40.788 "All authority in heaven and earth has been given to Me. 00:00:40.788 --> 00:00:44.188 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, 00:00:44.188 --> 00:00:48.106 baptizing them in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, 00:00:48.106 --> 00:00:51.904 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. 00:00:51.904 --> 00:00:57.984 And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." 00:00:58.784 --> 00:01:02.689 So, what we do regarding our mission call, all of us, 00:01:02.689 --> 00:01:07.619 is to go out and make disciples, baptizing them. 00:01:07.619 --> 00:01:11.221 So, baptizing them in water and baptizing with the Holy Spirit, 00:01:11.221 --> 00:01:15.051 and helping them to receive a new life is the beginning. 00:01:15.661 --> 00:01:20.354 But then, after we have done this, Jesus said: And teach them... 00:01:20.354 --> 00:01:24.738 to obey everything He has commanded. 00:01:24.738 --> 00:01:31.251 So, when a person comes to Christ, first they are, as the Bible says, 00:01:31.251 --> 00:01:35.322 like a newborn baby. They are now new in Christ. 00:01:35.322 --> 00:01:39.776 But then we have been given a command to teach them, 00:01:39.776 --> 00:01:44.288 or to feed them, to help them, to disciple them 00:01:44.288 --> 00:01:47.636 to obey everything Jesus has commanded. 00:01:47.756 --> 00:01:54.322 We are here to help people to grow up and become strong in Christ. 00:01:54.572 --> 00:01:57.605 And what you'll see when you start to live this life, 00:01:57.605 --> 00:02:01.605 lead people to Christ, and do what we have look at here in "The Call of Jesus", 00:02:01.605 --> 00:02:06.045 you'll see that those people you meet and lead to Christ are very, very different. 00:02:06.205 --> 00:02:13.321 Some people are already in church, already somehow love Jesus, in many ways, 00:02:13.321 --> 00:02:17.686 have grown up with the Bible, but they need the baptism or the Holy Spirit, 00:02:17.686 --> 00:02:22.536 freedom, and when you give them that, they are already very, very strong, 00:02:22.536 --> 00:02:25.270 because they have grown up with the Word of God. 00:02:25.530 --> 00:02:27.941 They already know Christ. 00:02:28.161 --> 00:02:31.255 They just needed help to move on. 00:02:31.255 --> 00:02:35.246 Other people are very religious, like, very, very religious. 00:02:35.546 --> 00:02:43.839 You need to pull down that religious mindset and teach them something completely new - 00:02:43.839 --> 00:02:48.328 who Christ really is and what the gospel is. 00:02:49.038 --> 00:02:51.438 They've heard of Jesus, they know the Bible, 00:02:51.438 --> 00:02:53.842 but they have got it wrong. 00:02:54.042 --> 00:02:56.625 Other people are very, very new, like me. 00:02:56.625 --> 00:02:59.604 When I gave my life to Christ I've never opened the Bible before. 00:02:59.604 --> 00:03:01.489 I knew nothing. 00:03:03.579 --> 00:03:08.088 I didn't need to pull down a lot of ideas and strongholds, or religion 00:03:08.088 --> 00:03:10.849 in the beginning. I just needed milk. 00:03:10.849 --> 00:03:12.987 I needed a foundation. 00:03:13.527 --> 00:03:15.566 We are all different. 00:03:15.566 --> 00:03:20.270 But one thing is certain for all of us. That is - we need people around us. 00:03:20.270 --> 00:03:22.854 We all need family. 00:03:23.844 --> 00:03:26.570 Not just to come in a church. 00:03:26.570 --> 00:03:30.854 There is a difference between coming in a church and having family. 00:03:30.854 --> 00:03:35.768 You can be in a church, you can be a member in a church, you can sit in a church, 00:03:35.768 --> 00:03:39.237 and there can be a pastor who's your pastor, or your leader, 00:03:39.497 --> 00:03:41.838 but it's not parents, it's not family. 00:03:41.838 --> 00:03:48.313 It's not people who really lay down their lives to help you to grow up. 00:03:48.573 --> 00:03:53.037 The sad thing is, I have been in church for years, without really having parents. 00:03:53.037 --> 00:03:57.107 And there is a big difference between being a leader, having leaders, 00:03:57.107 --> 00:04:00.491 and then having parents and family who really cares. 00:04:00.691 --> 00:04:04.046 Let me read something from my book "The Call of Jesus". 00:04:04.146 --> 00:04:06.121 "Every person we meet is different. 00:04:06.121 --> 00:04:10.494 Every person is in a different place in their life and has different needs, 00:04:10.494 --> 00:04:12.937 but everyone needs fellowship. 00:04:12.937 --> 00:04:16.138 None of us are called to walk this life alone. 00:04:16.138 --> 00:04:22.422 We often say that we are the body of Christ here on earth, and that is correct. 00:04:22.422 --> 00:04:27.318 But 'we' is not me alone or you alone. 00:04:27.318 --> 00:04:30.355 'We' are all of us together. 00:04:30.355 --> 00:04:34.239 'We' alone is not the body of Christ. 00:04:34.239 --> 00:04:38.271 'We' alone is only a member of the body. 00:04:38.271 --> 00:04:44.436 So 'we' are one of many stones in the church that Jesus is building together. 00:04:44.436 --> 00:04:50.832 You cannot live as a disciple alone, without like-minded people around you." 00:04:51.272 --> 00:04:53.753 I want to say this again. It is so important. 00:04:53.753 --> 00:04:58.626 We are the body of Christ, but we, or I, it's not me alone. 00:04:58.626 --> 00:05:00.953 I'm the body of Christ, yes, but not alone. 00:05:01.403 --> 00:05:04.670 I'm the body of Christ together with other members. 00:05:04.670 --> 00:05:09.511 We together become the body of Christ and we need each other. 00:05:09.511 --> 00:05:13.834 We are never called to live this alone. 00:05:14.004 --> 00:05:17.316 Especially when a person is born again. 00:05:17.316 --> 00:05:22.144 The Bible says that those persons who are born again are babies in Christ. 00:05:22.144 --> 00:05:23.587 They are babies. 00:05:23.587 --> 00:05:28.153 And they need help. They need help as babies: 00:05:28.153 --> 00:05:33.754 milk, other things, people around them to nurse them, to take care of them, 00:05:33.754 --> 00:05:38.004 to help them, so they can grow up and become stronger. 00:05:38.004 --> 00:05:40.654 And Bible talks about young ones in faith. 00:05:40.654 --> 00:05:45.138 And then they will grow up and now they become adults, mature, 00:05:45.138 --> 00:05:47.274 and become parents in faith. 00:05:47.654 --> 00:05:52.444 Spiritual parents. And then they get their own spiritual kids. 00:05:52.444 --> 00:05:56.538 Exactly as we see in the natural. 00:05:56.538 --> 00:05:59.572 If we look at the natural world today, 00:05:59.572 --> 00:06:05.387 we have babies, we have young ones, teenagers, and we have parents. 00:06:05.387 --> 00:06:08.387 We don't put the same burden on everyone. 00:06:08.387 --> 00:06:12.432 We expect more from teenagers then we do from babies. 00:06:12.432 --> 00:06:14.636 And we expect more from adults. 00:06:14.636 --> 00:06:20.613 And we don't want people to be 45 years old and still live home with mom and dad. 00:06:20.613 --> 00:06:25.203 No. We want them to grow up and be independent from us, mature, 00:06:25.203 --> 00:06:28.754 leave mom and dad and get their own children. 00:06:28.954 --> 00:06:31.670 Like it is in the natural, 00:06:31.670 --> 00:06:34.037 it should be in the spiritual. 00:06:34.037 --> 00:06:39.728 You don't serve a big, big, juicy steak to a baby. 00:06:39.948 --> 00:06:43.827 That baby would die if you just leave that baby with a steak. 00:06:43.987 --> 00:06:47.764 In the same way, if you give milk to a teenager, 00:06:47.764 --> 00:06:49.541 they would survive on that milk a little, 00:06:49.541 --> 00:06:52.407 but they would not really grow up on that milk and become strong. 00:06:52.407 --> 00:06:56.615 Why? Because a teenager needs more than milk. 00:06:56.855 --> 00:07:00.208 And it's so important that we know those different levels, 00:07:00.208 --> 00:07:03.289 not only in the natural, but in the spiritual. 00:07:03.419 --> 00:07:10.028 Let me read something from 1 John, where he talks about the different levels. 00:07:10.028 --> 00:07:12.307 In 1 John 2:12-14 he's saying this: 00:07:12.307 --> 00:07:13.946 "I am writing to you, dear children, 00:07:13.946 --> 00:07:18.119 because your sins have been forgiven on account of His name. 00:07:18.119 --> 00:07:22.436 I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who is from the beginning. 00:07:22.436 --> 00:07:26.536 I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. 00:07:26.836 --> 00:07:30.334 I'm writing to you, dear children, because you know the Father. 00:07:30.334 --> 00:07:34.489 I'm writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who is from the beginning. 00:07:34.489 --> 00:07:37.988 I'm writing to you, young men, because you are strong, 00:07:37.988 --> 00:07:42.834 and the Word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the evil one." 00:07:43.404 --> 00:07:46.614 Here John writes to three different groups of people. 00:07:46.614 --> 00:07:50.537 He writes to the children, in another words - babies; 00:07:50.997 --> 00:07:56.288 he writes to the young ones, and he writes to the parents, to the fathers. 00:07:56.718 --> 00:07:59.572 He says different things to the different people. 00:07:59.572 --> 00:08:02.471 Why? Because people are in different places in their life. 00:08:03.021 --> 00:08:06.000 When people come to faith, they are like babies. 00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:08.852 They need milk. 00:08:09.652 --> 00:08:12.203 To those people who need milk he said: 00:08:12.203 --> 00:08:16.070 I'm writing to you that your sins have been forgiven. Why? 00:08:16.070 --> 00:08:18.919 Because when people are new in their faith, 00:08:19.189 --> 00:08:23.553 there are attacks, there are doubts. 00:08:23.553 --> 00:08:28.120 Oh... Is this right? What about this? And they hear something and... 00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:32.472 Oh no... Somebody says something. Oh, maybe it's a call. 00:08:32.472 --> 00:08:35.989 God doesn't says this. Maybe God doesn't says this. 00:08:35.989 --> 00:08:39.505 And then they fall in sin. Oh, Satan comes and condemns them: 00:08:39.505 --> 00:08:42.687 "You are not saved anymore." Oh no, I'm not saved anymore. 00:08:42.687 --> 00:08:48.288 And there is just a lot of, lot of attacks when you are new in faith. 00:08:48.288 --> 00:08:50.905 And I remember, I experienced all of those attacks. 00:08:50.905 --> 00:08:56.171 I experienced the doubt, I fell and Satan came and condemned me. 00:08:56.171 --> 00:09:00.465 I was fighting a lot in the beginning. 00:09:00.865 --> 00:09:04.085 But I needed somebody, like John here said, 00:09:04.405 --> 00:09:08.105 Come on! You are forgiven because of His name. 00:09:08.305 --> 00:09:10.285 Rise up again! Be strong! 00:09:10.285 --> 00:09:13.067 So, I needed somebody... 00:09:13.487 --> 00:09:15.067 and you need somebody... 00:09:15.067 --> 00:09:17.603 or you need to be there for somebody. 00:09:18.793 --> 00:09:22.443 Those who are new they often need to learn to walk. 00:09:22.443 --> 00:09:25.887 They fall, make mistakes, need to rise up again. 00:09:25.887 --> 00:09:28.888 They need milk. They need help. 00:09:29.268 --> 00:09:32.273 They need other people to teach them the truth. 00:09:32.823 --> 00:09:35.655 Not just give them the Bible and say: Goodbye, read it. No. 00:09:35.655 --> 00:09:41.222 They need somebody to eat the Word and help them explain them the Word for them. 00:09:41.652 --> 00:09:44.886 That is what babies - new believers need. 00:09:45.426 --> 00:09:47.105 But then, there are young ones. 00:09:50.075 --> 00:09:53.589 John says: You are strong, you have overcome the evil one. 00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:57.622 When you come to faith in the beginning, there's a period where there is a lot of attacks. 00:09:57.622 --> 00:10:00.273 Satan really wants to get you down. 00:10:00.273 --> 00:10:04.324 And many fall away in that period, because there is no one to help them. 00:10:04.694 --> 00:10:09.682 But then there is a time where you have overcome that first beginning period. 00:10:09.682 --> 00:10:12.571 You have overcome the evil one, as John says. 00:10:12.571 --> 00:10:16.555 You are strong. And the Word of God abides in you. 00:10:16.555 --> 00:10:20.211 So now you don't need milk anymore, or only milk. 00:10:20.211 --> 00:10:23.021 You don't need people to teach you, and teach you, and teach you. 00:10:23.021 --> 00:10:26.854 You can teach yourself. You can eat by yourself. 00:10:26.854 --> 00:10:29.631 You can get the Bible and start to read it. 00:10:29.631 --> 00:10:33.938 You got the Bible in the beginning, but now you start to eat by yourself even more. 00:10:33.938 --> 00:10:38.004 And those who are young ones, they don't need milk like that. 00:10:38.004 --> 00:10:42.768 They need to be challenged. They need to take steps. 00:10:42.768 --> 00:10:45.721 They need to go on mission trips. They need to be out there... 00:10:46.111 --> 00:10:50.161 and try. Try more and more by themselves 00:10:50.161 --> 00:10:52.508 to obey Christ and live this life. 00:10:52.508 --> 00:10:54.689 Exactly as it is in the natural. 00:10:54.689 --> 00:10:57.749 When you grow up and become teenager, there is a time where you need 00:10:57.749 --> 00:11:01.641 to break up a little and try to get your own experience in life. 00:11:01.971 --> 00:11:05.171 Then we have the fathers, the parents. 00:11:05.171 --> 00:11:09.014 John is saying: You know Him who is from the beginning. 00:11:09.014 --> 00:11:11.687 That means: You have been with God for many years now. 00:11:11.687 --> 00:11:13.820 You see the big picture. 00:11:13.820 --> 00:11:16.554 You don't get distracted so easy. 00:11:16.554 --> 00:11:19.286 You know God. You have experience with God. 00:11:19.286 --> 00:11:22.403 You can be there and help other people. 00:11:22.403 --> 00:11:27.630 Like it is in the natural, it is in the spirit. 00:11:28.020 --> 00:11:30.097 It's the same, somehow. 00:11:30.237 --> 00:11:34.701 And we all need it. We all need family. 00:11:36.301 --> 00:11:40.120 Sadly, there are also people who have been Christians for many, many years, 00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:43.705 but are still very, very immature. 00:11:43.705 --> 00:11:49.003 We read that many places in the Bible. In 1 Corinthians 3:1-3 we read this: 00:11:49.003 --> 00:11:53.654 "Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit 00:11:53.654 --> 00:11:57.904 but as people who are still worldly - mere infants in Christ. 00:11:57.904 --> 00:12:02.389 I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. 00:12:02.389 --> 00:12:04.388 Indeed, you are still not ready. 00:12:04.608 --> 00:12:06.604 You are still worldly. 00:12:06.604 --> 00:12:11.654 But since there is jealousies and quarrels amongst you, are you not worldly? 00:12:11.654 --> 00:12:14.721 Are you not acting like mere humans?" 00:12:15.131 --> 00:12:19.004 So, Paul here wrote to Corinthians and rebuked them. 00:12:19.004 --> 00:12:23.971 Come on! You are like infants! You are like babies in Christ. 00:12:23.971 --> 00:12:26.287 You should have grown up by now. 00:12:26.287 --> 00:12:29.070 And there is still that in churches today, 00:12:29.530 --> 00:12:33.655 that people should be more mature. 00:12:33.655 --> 00:12:36.938 You can be in church for 30 years without being born again, 00:12:36.938 --> 00:12:40.665 but you can also be in church long time and still be spiritual infant. 00:12:40.665 --> 00:12:41.988 And we don't want that. 00:12:41.988 --> 00:12:45.062 We want people to grow up. 00:12:45.222 --> 00:12:48.337 But for us to help people to grow up, we need to understand 00:12:48.337 --> 00:12:52.922 where they are in their life and help them from there. 00:12:53.172 --> 00:12:55.037 We need to understand it. 00:12:55.037 --> 00:12:59.605 And we read that clearly in Hebrews 5, because in Hebrews 5:11-14 we read this: 00:12:59.605 --> 00:13:02.070 "We have so much more to say about this, 00:13:02.070 --> 00:13:07.054 but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to understand. 00:13:07.054 --> 00:13:11.037 In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, 00:13:11.037 --> 00:13:16.454 you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God's word all over again. 00:13:16.454 --> 00:13:19.787 You need milk, not solid food! 00:13:19.787 --> 00:13:23.236 Everyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, 00:13:23.236 --> 00:13:26.819 is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. 00:13:26.819 --> 00:13:29.352 But solid food is for the mature, 00:13:29.352 --> 00:13:35.208 who by constant use have trained themselves to discerning good and evil." 00:13:36.218 --> 00:13:42.620 Here we read that the author of Hebrews wanted to teach people something, 00:13:42.620 --> 00:13:45.972 but they were not there in their life yet. 00:13:45.972 --> 00:13:48.454 They were not ready to receive it. 00:13:48.454 --> 00:13:54.638 So they needed to go back and one more time give them the elementary teaching of Christ. 00:13:54.638 --> 00:14:00.222 And this is what it is today. We need family. We need people around us. 00:14:00.222 --> 00:14:04.072 We need people who are babies, you are young ones, who are parents. 00:14:04.072 --> 00:14:08.905 We need to see them grow up and be there for each other. 00:14:09.315 --> 00:14:12.910 And again, remember, you are not alone in this. 00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:16.269 You are not supposed to be the whole family alone. 00:14:16.269 --> 00:14:19.782 But God will put people in your life, 00:14:20.554 --> 00:14:23.768 and together, you can help people to grow up. 00:14:23.768 --> 00:14:28.553 And that is some of the main focus also, when we read about the five-fold ministry, 00:14:28.553 --> 00:14:33.487 we have looked at before in this book, before in this video series. 00:14:33.487 --> 00:14:35.937 In Ephesians 4:11-16 we read this: 00:14:35.937 --> 00:14:41.203 "So Christ Himself gave apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 00:14:41.203 --> 00:14:47.352 to equip His people for the works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 00:14:47.352 --> 00:14:51.821 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God 00:14:51.821 --> 00:14:57.768 to become mature, attaining the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. 00:14:57.768 --> 00:15:03.369 Then we are no longer infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, 00:15:03.369 --> 00:15:06.488 and blown here and there by every wind of teaching 00:15:06.488 --> 00:15:11.871 and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful schemes. 00:15:11.871 --> 00:15:19.103 Instead, preaching the truth in love, we will grow up to become in every respect 00:15:19.103 --> 00:15:24.003 the mature body in Him who is the Head, that is, Christ. 00:15:24.003 --> 00:15:29.904 And from Him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, 00:15:29.904 --> 00:15:34.888 grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work." 00:15:35.348 --> 00:15:41.071 I know this was a long text, but what we see here is that God has given people 00:15:41.421 --> 00:15:48.005 in the church to grow up people, so we are no longer infants, 00:15:48.005 --> 00:15:51.254 but we grow up to maturity. 00:15:51.254 --> 00:15:54.190 But God has not given that to one person alone. 00:15:54.190 --> 00:15:57.739 God has given different gifts and different people. 00:15:57.739 --> 00:16:01.754 Here we read about the five-fold ministry something we have talked about before. 00:16:01.754 --> 00:16:03.837 We need that. 00:16:03.837 --> 00:16:07.754 Are you strong, for example, in finding the person of peace? 00:16:07.754 --> 00:16:11.188 Are you more evangelistic and it comes very natural to you? 00:16:11.188 --> 00:16:15.221 Then go out, find that person of peace. 00:16:15.221 --> 00:16:20.503 Do what you are strong in and help to make other people strong. 00:16:20.673 --> 00:16:26.421 But you also need other people beside you, who are maybe stronger to nurse them 00:16:26.421 --> 00:16:30.305 and take care of those new believers, you have now reached. 00:16:30.575 --> 00:16:35.556 And if we come together like this and help each other, 00:16:36.116 --> 00:16:41.605 we will see not only people born again, but we will see people grow up to maturity 00:16:41.605 --> 00:16:45.172 in very, very short time. 00:16:45.172 --> 00:16:49.322 And it will also set you free, because you who are very strong evangelistic, 00:16:49.322 --> 00:16:54.292 you don't need to go the long way and give milk and nurse those people. 00:16:54.292 --> 00:16:58.355 You can be free to move on and find other people out there. 00:16:58.805 --> 00:17:02.031 So, try to imagine, if we, as the body of Christ, 00:17:02.031 --> 00:17:05.701 since we took the Jesus' call and we started to live it out, together, 00:17:06.461 --> 00:17:11.258 came together and found other strong gifts in it, 00:17:11.258 --> 00:17:14.555 and together we went out to find a person of peace. 00:17:14.555 --> 00:17:20.403 But let somebody be there and lay a foundation and be there for each other. 00:17:20.403 --> 00:17:26.355 I still remember so much in the beginning, I was fighting a lot. 00:17:26.355 --> 00:17:30.604 But then I had my father-in-law, he became my father-in-law, 00:17:30.604 --> 00:17:40.189 an old, mature man, father in the faith, he took me in and most of the milk I got 00:17:40.189 --> 00:17:44.988 was on his couch, sitting there with the Bible and asking a lot of questions. 00:17:44.988 --> 00:17:47.120 He helped me to grow up. 00:17:47.120 --> 00:17:50.937 He also let me make mistakes. I made many, many mistakes. 00:17:50.937 --> 00:17:52.870 But I learned by them. 00:17:52.870 --> 00:17:55.978 And now I'm not a baby anymore. 00:17:56.138 --> 00:17:59.377 I still have things to learn, but I have grown up. 00:17:59.637 --> 00:18:03.741 But I have also decided never to forget how it was in the beginning. 00:18:04.041 --> 00:18:05.705 And I would say the same to you. 00:18:05.705 --> 00:18:10.228 Never forget how it was in the beginning, when you came to faith. 00:18:10.228 --> 00:18:13.766 Why? Because in that moment when you forget how it was in the beginning, 00:18:13.766 --> 00:18:16.554 you start to lose your patience with people. 00:18:16.554 --> 00:18:18.320 You start to get frustrated. 00:18:18.320 --> 00:18:20.553 Oh, why is he struggling? Why is he falling? 00:18:21.333 --> 00:18:24.070 Why does it smell like diaper inhere? 00:18:24.070 --> 00:18:27.354 Why do I need to help them every time? 00:18:27.354 --> 00:18:30.097 Hey, you needed help in the beginning. 00:18:30.497 --> 00:18:32.426 Don't forget that. 00:18:32.426 --> 00:18:36.293 Now you can walk, now you a mature, but in the beginning you needed help. 00:18:36.943 --> 00:18:39.972 As you needed people around you in the beginning, 00:18:39.972 --> 00:18:41.871 be there for other people. 00:18:41.871 --> 00:18:46.389 Don't forget where you came from, because then you will lose your patience. 00:18:46.389 --> 00:18:48.335 You will give up too easy. 00:18:48.335 --> 00:18:50.971 No, remember how it was in the beginning. 00:18:50.971 --> 00:18:55.070 And then you will have more patience and you will be better to help people, 00:18:55.070 --> 00:18:58.936 to challenge them, to see them grow up, to be mature. 00:18:59.326 --> 00:19:02.115 I want to talk more about this in the next lesson, 00:19:02.115 --> 00:19:05.804 where I will talk more about how to grow people up. 00:19:05.804 --> 00:19:10.427 But remember this. Remember that we are the body. 00:19:10.427 --> 00:19:12.283 We need each other. 00:19:12.283 --> 00:19:15.185 And people are on different levels in their life. 00:19:15.185 --> 00:19:18.153 And we need to be better to recognize where people are, 00:19:19.123 --> 00:19:21.901 and then from there help them to grow up. 00:19:21.901 --> 00:19:25.644 I have much more about that in my book "The Call of Jesus". 00:19:25.644 --> 00:19:31.270 I also have some videos where I already talk more about this spiritual levels. 00:19:31.270 --> 00:19:35.220 In the description of this video I will put some links 00:19:35.220 --> 00:19:37.986 where you can go in and see those videos. 00:19:37.986 --> 00:19:41.267 The next time I will tell more personal, from my life 00:19:41.267 --> 00:19:44.553 and give you more tools how you can help people, 00:19:44.553 --> 00:19:48.772 when you are out there, in their homes, to lay a foundation, 00:19:48.772 --> 00:19:51.220 how you can help those people you've found, 00:19:51.220 --> 00:19:53.905 who are persons of peace, to grow up. 00:19:53.905 --> 00:19:56.323 God bless you! See you next time! Bye-bye! 00:19:58.354 --> 00:20:00.202 The Call of Jesus
