Today I’m going to talk about the Holy Spirit and what it is to be led by the Holy Spirit.
And if there is something I love to talk about, if there is something I am so excited about
then it is the whole part of being led by the Holy Spirit. In the book of Acts in the
first church you saw that the Holy Spirit was an active part of the church, the Holy
Spirit was the one who was working in the first disciples, He was leading them and He
wants to be a part of our lives and our church today, I heard somebody say that if the Holy
Spirit left the church today 90% of all the activities are going to continue as if nothing
had happened and I believe there is something about that. You are going to see that in
this teaching I’m going to share a lot of amazing testimonies of how we can be led by
the Holy Spirit today and how God is working by His Spirit and I’m also going to give
you some practical tools you can use in your life so your life can be led by the Holy Spirit
exactly as we read in the book of Acts God bless you.
Welcome to the Pioneer School this is lesson number 12 out of 20. Today I’m going
to talk about being led by the Holy Spirit. I’m going to talk about how it is to walk
by the Spirit, how it is to listen to the Spirit and being led by the Holy Spirit.
I love teaching about these things because some years ago me and my family got a taste
of what God has for us when it comes to being led by the Holy Spirit. When we tasted
that we just looked at each other and we said this is what we want, we want this life. Because
being led by the Holy Spirit is what it is all about and it is so much more than just
coming in a church on Sunday. I believe many people have the idea that the Bible said
that you can walk by the flesh and you can walk by the Spirit. Walking by the flesh
is living in sin and we agree with that. But then we think that walking by the Spirit is the
opposite of living in sin. That it is just don’t sin. So now I’m a nice person, I don’t
sin, I don’t live in sin and I come to church on Sunday. I live my everyday life trying
to not do a lot of things and come to the church on Sunday.
But to be led by the Spirit is much more than just standing still and don’t sin and come
to the church on Sunday. To be led by the Spirit is to live a supernatural life, it is to walk
by the Spirit, it is to go from one place to another it’s not to just stand still.
And not sin it is to live an exciting life where the Holy Spirit is leading us in everyday
life. You are going to get a taste of that, because in this teaching I’m going to come
with a lot of amazing testimonies and then in the end I’m going to give you some practical
tools that can help you to come in and walk by the Spirit and live the life. Before I start
I’m going to pray and I’m going to take some questions out of the last teaching.
Then we are going to continue looking at what it is to be led by the
Spirit. God I thank you for this teaching I pray that you will help me to share this word
I pray that it is going to be a revelation for everybody who sees this, that it is going to
open their eyes and it is going to help them to come into the life we read in the book
of Acts. That they are going to live a life led by the Holy Spirit in everyday life, God.
God thank you because this is something You have for every one of us so help me to share
this word and come with your Spirit and open our eyes God in the name of Jesus. Amen
OK, I have been talking about repentance, baptism in water and baptism with the Holy
Spirit. This is part of salvation, everything is part of getting saved, Peter stood
up and said, "Repent, get baptized in water for the remission of your sins and you will
receive the Holy Spirit." Then he said that "this promise is for you and your children
and everybody God is going to call on." What promise? The promise of the new covenant. The
promise that had been spoken by the prophet Joel, the promise that had been spoken by the
prophet Ezekiel, the promise by Jeremiah, the promise from the old prophets. That one day
God is going to create a new covenant with His people, a covenant where He is going to
put a new heart inside of us and give us a new spirit. So we may walk in His statues, so
we may walk with Him. That promise, He said, has to do with all of those three things. And
the Holy Spirit is like the end of it. The fulfilling of that; the new Spirit. It’s not like
you get saved, you repent and you get baptized in water and yes you are saved and if you want
the Holy Spirit, like something extra, you can say yes to that. No, everything is part
of salvation. I’ve been teaching about that the last times. I’ve got a lot of
response, out of this teaching, out of baptism with the Holy Spirit. A really good response.
One of the emails I got was this, "Hello Torben, I’ve been waiting for this topic
the whole way through the Pioneer School since God revealed Himself to me in a Pentecostal
church. I want to get baptized with the Holy Spirit but in our days it seemed like baptism
in the Holy Spirit happens more seldom. Why? Especially during the Bible school God has
opened my eyes. And there is still a question. Why is it in the book of Acts it is so simple
to get baptized with the Holy Spirit but now it is so complicated compared to the book
of Acts? I know brothers who have been serving God for more than ten years and asking for
baptism of the Holy Spirit during all of those years but have not yet got it.
They are members of the church and are baptized in water. I personally miss this power of
God in my life. God bless you." Why is it like that? Why is it so simple in
the book of Acts and so difficult today? The answer, I’ve been trying to work with during
the whole Pioneer School, the answer is our religion glasses. We have a lot of
teaching today that is not built on the Word of God, it is built on tradition. We have a
lot of wrong doctrines and we have a lot of fears. At the same time we build our doctrine
on our experience instead of what the Word is saying, as I said when it comes to healing,
when it comes to all the other things I’ve been looking at during the Pioneer School.
We need to come back to the simple life we read in the book of Acts. We have a
lot of theology, a lot of knowledge, but there is not so much life. Why? Because the knowledge
complicates things. An example is what we read here. Those people have been praying
to God during ten years, and have not received it. The last time I spoke about how my wife
when she was ten or eleven years old, just went and prayed a simple prayer, "God I pray
that you will give me the Holy Spirit." and immediately she got baptized with the Holy
Spirit and she started to speak in tongues. She prayed one prayer in faith like a child. We
have to be like children. It’s not about praying, praying, praying ten years, it’s
about simple faith. You don’t have to pray ten years to press through to get it. No.
I think what those people need instead of just praying and praying and praying is they
need discipleship and they need to get their eyes open and get the wrong doctrine out of
their lives. If I met them, I would not say continue praying for ten years, I would say, "Let’s
sit down and talk and let's go through what the word is saying. Have you repentance?"
And seems like they have, "And have you got baptized with water?" And they have and then
talk about baptism with the Holy Spirit and sit down with them and explain what it is
all about. This is what we need, discipleship. And again I can come to a church, come to a
meeting. I can speak from the pulpit and ten people can come up to me, I pray and five
of them get baptized with the Holy Spirit in an instant, and I can go over there and
there are only five got baptized with the Holy Spirit. Why did the other five not
get baptized with the Holy Spirit? Because it is all about discipleship. It’s all about
taking people from where they are right now and helping them to take the next step. Maybe some
of them have not repented, some have not been baptized in water and have something
they need to deal with before they can receive it.
Some of them just need to get the fear out of their lives. This is what I want, I want
us to focus on discipleship instead of just having a meeting speaking from a pulpit, and
then expect everything to happen. We need to take people from where they are, sit down
with them and go through the Word and talk with them. And another lady also, she
wrote this, "I had difficulty receiving the Holy Spirit, but I needed to be delivered.
She said that somebody talked with her and she burned her old books, a lot of
new age stuff she had. And two people prayed and she was delivered. About fifteen minutes
later, she wrote, "I was getting in my car and driving home and I started to praise God
in English and then tongues just started to flow through me and I stopped the car while
I was enjoying this whole experience. So here we have a lady who wrote that she also
didn’t receive the Holy Spirit like this. But somebody did discipleship with her. Somebody
sat down with her, talked with her and she got to understand. She didn’t have books, but something
else she had not turned away from. When she turned away from it, she had at the
same time gotten delivered from a demon. When that happened the Holy Spirit came instantly.
It just flowed out of her. Like my wife she didn’t have so much to get set free from,
she was a young girl but she just prayed a simple prayer. This woman had something she
needed to repent from and when she had done that she just worshipped God in
the car and it came like this. So I want to say if you don’t have it yet what you need
is, of course, to pray to God in faith. But what we really need also is discipleship.
We need to go back to step one, step two and step three. Another wrote,
"I’ve been praying for baptism with the Holy Spirit since Friday but have not yet
experienced it. Unfortunately there is nobody around me in my town who teaches about this
so I hope you can help me." Sometimes we have to do something
extra ordinary to get it. What I mean is in the Acts chapter 8, the people in Samaria
had not yet received the Holy Spirit and when the apostles in Jerusalem heard about
that they travelled there to lay their hands on them so they could receive it. And what we
need today often, is to jump in a car and go to somebody else that you have not
been together with all the time. Go to another church find other people, find some people
who have it, who know about it and let them pray for you. Because this promise is for you,
this promise is for your children, this promise is for everybody God is calling on.
OK, I’m going to talk about being led by the Holy Spirit. I love the whole part
of being led by the Holy Spirit. I can share a lot of testimonies about being led by
the Holy Spirit. The next time I’m going to have a lesson here in
the Pioneer School is one month after Christmas. So in one month I’m going to come with the
next teaching. They are going to wait one month because next Sunday me and my family
are going to South Africa. And like many other things this has also to do with being
led by the Holy Spirit. I think everything we do has to do with being led by the Holy
Spirit. If we buy a car, every time we move from one place to another. All we do, we see
that God is in it and God is leading us by His Holy Spirit. The way we came to South
Africa... the reason we are going to South Africa is because some months ago we were on a mission
in Poland. I was sitting in the car and driving, on my way to Poland. My wife
was sitting beside me and she looked at me and she said, "Torben, there is something
I have been talking with God about, but I’ve not told you." I looked at her and
said, "What have you been talking with God about without telling me?" I was curious. What
is it? She said, “I’ve been talking with God that I want to go away for Christmas,
I don’t want to be home this year; the Christmas dress and presents and all the things there
are with Christmas. I want to go away, have a holiday with the family and at the
same time serve God; do something with meaning, with a purpose.” I looked at her and
said, "Yes, I want that, I am open for that." It came as a big surprise! Because it
was the first time ever she said something like that with Christmas and going away.
But I was open for that, but I said, “But, but, but...who would want to invite us for
Christmas? Because every church, every person I know they are closing down for Christmas
because everything is about Christmas and presents and all those things, no one is having
meetings so who want to invite us. But I was open and we laid
it over to God and prayed. Two hours later, we were in Poland and
I checked my email there was an email to me from South Africa, where one guy
wrote, "Hello Torben, I want to invite you and your family to South Africa, Cape Town,
for two weeks in December. Come down, relax, have a holiday, swim in our swimming pool, and
have some meetings with us, and train us, do you want that?" And I was like, "Wooo!
Yeah! Yes, I want that!" We said yes to that and I didn’t hear from him for a long time.
Later he sent some money to me, he just wrote, "I will send the money everything
is OK. He send a lot of money because it cost a lot of money for us five persons
to jump in a plane from Denmark and fly to South Africa to Cape Town. And he just paid
everything. So next Sunday we are going to South Africa; Cape Town. I love that because
when we are there, we are not there because my wife prayed a prayer, we are not there
because he invited us, we are not there because he paid for us to come there, we are there
because God sent us. My wife prayed because the Holy Spirit led her to pray this.
And we know if we pray according to the will of God we have already received what
we are praying for. And it was something God put in Lene to pray. God worked in her and
she prayed at the same time God worked in a man in South Africa. We haven’t seen
him yet. God told him to invite us and he gave us the money so we could go there.
And when we are there, like many other things, we just know we are exactly where we
are called to be, exactly where God wants us to be. We are not there just by
accident, we are not there because we choose in our own free will to go there, we
are there because God had led us there. The Holy Spirit has sent us. I have a lot
of stories like this, a lot of testimonies where you can hear how the Holy Spirit is
leading, how the Holy Spirit is working. I want to say that everything we do today,
every big thing, I’m not talking about going out go to a shop to buy
some food or what time we have to get up out of bed. I’m talking about
every big thing, like God, what shall we do with this? How shall we use our money? What
about the Pioneer School? What about the teaching? What about this invitation? What about the
books? What about what you want us to...I can say that God is leading by His Spirit.
and I’m so excited about the whole part of being led by the Spirit. I am going to
tell a lot of very short testimonies. Now we have to continue and do what we always do when
we come to theology and teaching. We have to look at Jesus.
So I’m going to start with looking at Jesus when it comes to the Holy Spirit. I want to
say, of course, the Holy Spirit was a part of Jesus life from the beginning. He was conceived
by the Holy Spirit so the Holy Spirit was there at the beginning. But at the same time
Jesus needed to get baptized with the Holy Spirit. When John baptized Him the Holy Spirit
came over Him. We can read about that in Luke 3. After Jesus was baptized with the
Holy Spirit we read this in Luke 4, "Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit returned from the Jordan
and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness for forty days, being tempted by the devil."
So we read here that Jesus, after He got baptized with the Holy Spirit, was full of the Holy
Spirit and when He was full of the Holy Spirit we read that He was led by the Spirit.
He was led in the wilderness where He was tempted. When you get
baptized with the Holy Spirit you are going to experience that you are getting filled
with the Holy Spirit. So baptism with the Holy Spirit is something that will happen
one time in your life. It’s when you receive the Holy Spirit but the Bible also says
that we need to not get drunk with alcohol and other things but
let us get filled by the Spirit; in Ephesians 5:18. So when we have received the Holy Spirit
we also need to do something to live in that. And this has to do with living close to God
because when we spend time with God or when we pray a lot in tongues, when we serve God,
when we live there, we are going to experience we are filled by the Spirit. And what I want
to take up here is that Jesus was filled up by the Holy Spirit and also that He was led
by the Spirit. The first place He was led by the Spirit was in the wilderness, where
He was tempted by Satan. And when He came out of that and we can read this word,
"And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and a report about Him went out
through all the surrounding country." After Jesus was tempted by Satan forty days,
He came out of that place he returned in the power of the Holy Spirit. I believe
there is something in these three Words that I have here. This is my personal experience
also. That we get baptized with the Holy Spirit and we can experience being filled with the
Holy Spirit, and then this is also something we can live in by living close to God. We are
full of the Spirit and when we are filled by the Spirit we can be led by the Holy Spirit.
When we are led by the Holy Spirit the result of that is we are walking in the power
of the Holy Spirit. So if you want to walk in the power of the
Holy Spirit, what you need is to get baptized in the Holy Spirit. Or if you are baptized
with the Holy Spirit, get close to God spend time and let the Holy Spirit fill you up from
your innermost being and it is going to come out as living water. When you spend time with
God, with the Holy Spirit, and you learn to be led by the Holy Spirit, you will see
the power of the Holy Spirit in your life. Because when you are led by the
Spirit you know, right here, right now, that right moment is here. You are not here by
accident because the Holy Spirit has sent you. And when you know you are walking in what
God has prepared for you to walk in, then you have a faith that is stronger than any other
thing because right now you are acting on the Word of God. Of course we are acting on
the Word of God when we go out, what Jesus is saying each time we go out, what Jesus
has commanded us to when we go. Also we hear the Holy Spirit leading us when we go on the
Word of God, He is with us, we know that because the Word of God is the truth.
But at the same time we have a lot of fear in our life, but when you experience
that the Holy Spirit is there in a special way and leading you at that moment, the fear
is not there the same way. Because you know, that you know that God has
sent you and he is there right now. I’m going to share some testimonies about that.
Jesus, was baptized with the Holy Spirit but He still took time to be together with
God. You see that in Jesus life. One time when he needed to choose his twelve disciples
we read that just before that He went up to the mountain to pray. All
night He continued in prayer to God. He did this just before he was going to choose his
twelve disciples. We read other times where Jesus went out early in the morning. He went
to bed after the sun went down and got up early before the sun rose up He went out
to pray. So that night, I don’t know if He got many hours of sleep. And this night
He continued in prayer all night. So He didn’t sleep. Jesus the Son of God needed to take
time to be together with God. He needed to take time to pray, to fast and it is
the same with us. If we want to not only experience the baptism of the Holy Spirit but if we want
to be led by the Holy Spirit and if we want to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit.
We also need to take time in praying and fasting like Jesus did and like other persons
did in the Bible or church history. The secret... I’m going to talk about
fasting next week. For me, fasting is... If somebody asks, "Torben what is
the secret?" What you have experienced, is no secret, it is just about Jesus. But
at the same time I can say that fasting is special for me. Because each time I fasted
maybe forty days or twenty days or other times, it had done something in me. It had become
the beginning of something new. Jesus took a period of fasting and He returned
in the power of the Holy Spirit. I believe that when you receive the Holy Spirit one
of the first things the Holy Spirit is going to lead you into is closeness with God. To
walk with God, the Holy Spirit is going to start to cut all the other things out of your
life, so there is nothing other than God left; this is how He works.
OK, we looked at Jesus and now we are going to continue to look at the first disciples.
It doesn’t matter if it is the first disciples or disciples like you and me who are living
today. Because Jesus is the same every day. I’m going to go through the book of
Acts now and just take some of the things you read in the book of Acts when it comes
to the Holy Spirit. I heard somebody say about the church today that if the Holy Spirit
was to leave the church today, 90% of all activities would continue like
nothing happened. 90% of all the activities in the church; the programmes, the meetings,
the worship, the preaching is going to continue like nothing has happened. To be honest,
sadly, I think it is like that, because much of what we do today has to do with our programmes.
We do it because we have the programmes, we have the money we can do it. We are
not really dependant on the Holy Spirit. But if you go to the book of Acts and see how
the Holy Spirit was there, you will see that the Holy Spirit was working in everything.
The Holy Spirit was Him who was working in the church. But during the Catholic church
a lot of things changed. One of the things that changed was the Holy Spirit went out.
We got a big system at the same time. This is what we are building on today.
But you are going to see now, in the book of Acts, the Holy Spirit was part of it. In
Acts chapter 5. ""we are His witnesses to these things and so also is the Holy Spirit
Whom God has given to those who obey Him." God has given the Holy
Spirit to those who obey Him, but I want to say, we are His witnesses also
is the Holy Spirit. So it was not only them who were the witnesses but the Holy Spirit
was also there. And they recognized that they were there but also that the Holy Spirit was
part of that and we read something like this "the Spirit said to Philip" in another place
"the Spirit said to Peter" another place we read this, "as they ministered to the
Lord and fasted." So they also did that. The Holy Spirit said, "Now appoint unto me Barnabas
and Saul to the work to which I have called them." So they were together praying, they
were fasting and the Holy Spirit said to chose those people to do the work I have
called them to. Who had called them? The Spirit had called them. Another place, "for
it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us" When have you last been in a meeting where
someone said, "Oh, it seems good to the Holy Spirit and us" or, "the Holy Spirit and us are witnesses
to this" or, the Holy Spirit has said that we should call him and him to the work the
Holy Spirit has called him to? Can you see? It was not only what seemed good to those people,
it was what seemed good to those people and to the Holy Spirit. So the Holy Spirit is
a person. He is a person in the Godhead, He is there, He is not just a power, He is just
‘NOT an IT’ and sorry if I said ‘it’. Somebody said to me that I said ‘it’ about
the Holy Spirit, but it is because of my English translation. He is not an ‘it’ He is
a person. The first church again said it seems good to the Holy Spirit and to us
and they said something like this and they said also that "...they were forbidden by the
Holy Spirit to preach..." and they were "led by the Holy Spirit" and Paul is saying, "I am
going to Jerusalem bound by the Holy Spirit". So at one time we read that they were led
by the Holy Spirit, another time they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach, another
time it seems good for the Holy Spirit and us are witnesses to this and this. And if you
look through the book of Acts, these are just some of the places, you will see that the Holy
Spirit was a big, big part of the church in what was happening. It was not just a programme,
the leader of the church was Jesus Christ working by his Holy Spirit here on earth.
Jesus is in heaven sitting at God’s right hand, the Holy Spirit is here on earth. He is
not just a power, just a power to heal the sick out on the street. No, it was Him who
was leading the things, who was organising, who was saying where to go, who to point out,
where not to go, stop here, go there, choose them, do this and this.
It was not just leadership who sat down and said what shall we do? I think we should do it
like this because I think it is a good idea. What about God? For me, today we can
experience the same with the Holy Spirit that He is leading us. I want to say one more
thing because in chapter 6 they were going to choose some men who were
going to help with the tables and other things So the apostles could take time with the Word
and praying. You read that they said, "...pick out seven men of good repute, full of
the Spirit and wisdom, whom we will appoint to this duty...they chose Stephen, a man full
of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and..." and you read that they prayed and
laid their hands on them. So what they needed to do there was find seven men who were full
of the Holy Spirit. Because what God wants to use today is people who are full of the Holy
Spirit. Because we cannot do what we are supposed to do in our own power. No, we can do
what we are supposed to filled by the Spirit. I’ve written a lot of books, I don’t write
books because I’m good at writing, when I went out of school I could not read, I could
not write, I had never imagined I was going to write one book in my whole life. Before
I became a Christian I only read one book, a small book. I could not read. But God
has chosen me to do this thing, why? Because I was taking time with Him, I was
full of the Spirit. And I know, I recognise today that what I do I only do because He
is leading me. I cannot do it in my own power. Not one of us can serve God in our own power.
So they were going to choose some men who were full of the Holy Spirit.
It was not because they had just got baptized with the Holy Spirit. But there
were some people who had been living in that fullness. And again got filled by the Spirit.
You can read in Acts that they prayed and the Holy Spirit came
and filled them again. And they took time with God and were filled by the Spirit.
They chose the people who were filled with the Holy Spirit. After
they had chosen them they laid their hands on them.
They didn’t lay their hands on them to receive the Holy Spirit, they already had Him.
They laid their hands on them to recognise what God had already given them. I believe
in laying on of hands when it comes to baptism of the Holy Spirit. When somebody lays their
hands on you, you get baptized with the Holy Spirit and you receive the Holy Spirit, yes. But
I don’t believe you have to run from meeting to meeting, from meeting to meeting, from
conference to conference, conference to conference, after you have gotten the Holy Spirit to let
every woman or man of God lay their hands on you and pray for you. No. I don’t
believe that because I don’t see that in the Word. I believe when you have received
the Holy Spirit you have to walk by the Spirit. You have to be led by the Spirit out
in the wilderness: led by the Holy Spirit so you can take time with God. And then walk
by the Spirit and when you are full of the Holy Spirit, God is going to point you out, and
use you. Because He uses people He filled by the Holy Spirit. And that being filled by the
the filling of Holy Spirit doesn't come by going from meeting to meeting. It comes by
paying a price, it comes by taking the time to seek God. I am going to share some
testimonies now about being led by the Holy Spirit. It is not something that came instantly,
in two seconds, "Hey I want that!" It didn’t come because I went to a conference
and somebody prayed for me and I got a special anointing. No. I got the Holy Spirit like
you and every other person who has the Holy Spirit. It comes by taking time to seek
God, taking time to listen, being led by the Holy Spirit in the small things so God can
put us over more and more.
OK, they were led by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit was working. Now to my life. Some
years ago I was out camping and I prayed. Praying is more than
just, God! Praying is a life, it is fellowship, fellowship with God, For many people praying is
like what I am going to say now. I am married to my wife. Try to imagine; I have a small
room and I put my wife in the room. And twenty minutes each day I open the room and I go
in, I closed the door, sit down with my wife and then I just talk for twenty minutes, everything
that has happened, then thank you! Go out, and close the door again. The day after
go in again to my wife, close the door talk twenty minutes-...-and then I go out again.
One day she knocks on the door, I open the door and she says, "I have something to
say." -- "Not now, tomorrow." and I close the door. And the day after I sit down, I talk
twenty minutes, "Thank you." and I go out. And she says, "I have something to say." -- "Not
now, not now." What marriage relationship is that? It is not a marriage. No. Because
I cannot put my wife in a room and just use twenty minutes with her every day when it
suits me. No, my wife needs to talk to me also, it’s not only me who has to talk,
she also has something on her heart she wants to tell me. When she needs to tell it to
me, I need to be ready to listen. At the same time there are times when I need to tell my
wife something here and now and then she is ready to listen. But the same with God many
people put God in a room and take him out five, ten minutes each day just talk, talk,
talk and never give God also time to talk back because praying is not only one way, it
is two ways. It is not only us who talk to God, God talks to us. Praying is not only
going to a room and close your door, this is part of it, praying is a life, it
is an everyday life. I want to show how I pray. I was out camping some years ago
and when I prayed something like this, "Hello God, Oh, it was good, it was really good
yesterday. What do you think about the meeting? OK, Hey, I got an email today.
I don’t know exactly what...what shall I write? I’m not sure, because...what do
you think? What do you think I should do? Hey... one more thing, mm what about this? I
don’t understand exactly what this is...I pray God, help me, help me to explain things."
This is what I am praying, I’m talking with God, I am taking God into my life, I’m talking
about the emails, I’m talking about the journey we are going on, I’m talking about things
I am struggling with, I am talking about the Word of God, what about this I don’t understand.
God ...if this is the truth... what about this then? This is the way I pray and often I experienced
that God works in my prayer like God works in my wife Lene. God put the Holy Spirit, God
put something in my wife to pray. God opened the door to South Africa for Christmas.
It was the Holy Spirit in my wife. When I was praying some years ago I was walking
and in prayer and it came very clear, "Torben, pray for an open door to TV so you can go
against evolution and Darwin." I thought, "What?" It just came to me out of nothing,
it just came, the Holy Spirit put it in me. So I said, "OK". So I prayed, "God open
the door to TV, God. God I pray you are going to open the door to TV so I can go against
evolution and Darwin, God. God let the lies of Darwin fall down in our country." It was
my praying and I prayed that. The next day I was out walking and I prayed the same, "God
I thank you for opening the door to TV. God I pray that you will open the door to TV so
I can go against evolution and Darwin." and while I was walking and praying that, I saw
a man there, where we were camping and when I saw him, "This...this is this man."
It was a famous stand-up comedian one I have seen on TV and TV programmes and commercials.
And this stand-up comedian, you know, like many other stand-up comedians, don't speak the most holy
words and it is also with him. It was not holy words he was speaking. He
was making fun of the Christians. He was cursing all the time and I saw him there. And
my heart started to jump and I just felt... this is God, so I went to him and when
I went to him to talk with him, just one meter before I was there, he turned his face and
I saw his face and saw it was not him. I thought... "It’s not him, it’s just
someone who looks like him. And there God spoke to me. God spoke and said, "Pray for this
guy, his name is Simon Jul." -- "What?" -- "Pray for Simon Jul" -- "You
mean the one on TV?" -- "Yes, pray for Simon Jul." -- "But God I don’t know where
he lives, I don’t know if he is living in Copenhagen or other places...God I’ve just seen him
on TV like other people." -- "Pray for Simon Jul." -- "OK" So I continued praying, "God I thank
you for opening door to TV so I can go against evolution and Darwin. God I pray for Simon
Jul." It seemed crazy to be praying for Simon Jul because I didn’t know
this guy. I had just seen him on TV, so I was walking. "God, send
somebody to him. Speak to him God, God he needs to hear Your Word, he needs to hear the gospel
he needs to repent, God, send somebody to him, and open the door to TV." It was what I prayed
that day. When I came home from prayer, two meters before I was home I got a phone call.
I took the telephone and somebody said, "Hello Torben, this is from Danish TV we are making
a program about evolution and Darwin we want to know if you want to be a part of it?
The one who is going to interview you is Simon Jul! The one I had just been praying for.
There are about six million people in Denmark, almost six million. God put in my heart that
day to pray two things: open door to TV so I can go against evolution and Darwin and
a guy I had just seen on TV his name is Simon Jul. I prayed those two things and two weeks
later I was sitting in Copenhagen right beside Simon Jul and his TV crew. I was
sitting there in a café and we were sitting talking and I said Simon I am here because
of you. I was praying for you that day when your secretary called me and God wants you
to repent. And he looked at me and everybody looked at me and they were in shock and I
was the only one who was eating now and I told the story and everybody was surprised
and shocked. Then we went out to the middle of the street in Copenhagen and we were stopping
people and talking about God and evolution and when we were talking with people I saw
a young guy come with crutches. The Holy Spirit said, "Him! him, him, him!" And when
I saw him I just knew it was God, because the Holy Spirit led me. So I knew it was God and
I said, "Simon come with me!" And we went to him and I prayed for this guy with crutches
and he got completely healed. He could walk without crutches and I stood with the crutches
like this and Simon is not so tall, so he stood like this and he said, "Tom,
what is this?" And I looked, "What do you mean?" Simon said, “This Tom! What is this?"
I said, "Have you not read the Bible? This is what we read in the Bible." Afterwards
we went to a big museum in Denmark. A big museum with a lot of things about Darwin also about
the missing link, who is still missing. in that museum I was sat on a chair
with two spotlights on me. Simon Jul was sitting in front of me on a chair.
We were sitting a little high, we were sitting on a suitcase. We had to come higher because
there was some missing links behind me they also wanted to see when they were filming me.
Simon was sitting in front of me and I was sitting there for one and a half
hours he was asking questions about God. "Do you really believe in Noah’s ark? Do you
really believe God created the heaven and earth in six 24 hour days? Do you really believe
in this? What about DNA? What about about this? If God is going to say kill your
wife are you going to do it? He asked a lot of questions about God and evolution for one
and a half hours. (I have a picture here) Here you can see me sitting and there you
can see the two spotlights on me. I am sitting on a suitcase in a chair, and there
is Simon Jul with the paper. He is sitting there for one and a half hours
asking questions. You can see one of the missing links behind me where I am sitting and talking.
And to sit there giving an answer for what I believe in. The best way to explain
it was like being in heaven, because in one and a half hours I knew everything. It was
so special because for every question I had an answer and many times during the one and
a half hours. I thought, "Where, where did that come from?" But I knew where it came from...the
Holy Spirit. What did Jesus say in Mark 13? He said, "When they take you to trial...
Or it can also be other things, "don’t worry beforehand about what you are going
to say, but say whatever is given to you in that hour for it is not you who speak but
the Holy Spirit." Mark 13:11. This is what I experienced that day. Somebody said to me
later, and also before, "Torben why do you go to this program?" You know it is a stand-up
comedian program. They are stand-up comedians, they want to make fun of you." I said
to them, "I am not going there because they invited me, I’m going there because God
sent me. No matter what any other person was going to say around me I knew I needed
to go there because God sent me. It was interesting when I went to see
the program. Because they almost forgot one thing, they almost forgot Darwin, there
was a little of Darwin. But my testimony was what filled most of the program, where
I told how God led me and saw how the young guy got healed with crutches. Many hundreds
of thousands saw that. Later I met people who had known me from that program and came
to me and wanted prayer and other things. So this is one story of how the Holy Spirit
can lead us. Because Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever, the Holy Spirit is the
same yesterday, today and forever. He can speak to us and He can lead us the same today
as we read in the book of Acts. There is nothing like being led by the Holy Spirit.
I’m not only talking about ministry I’m talking about everyday life. I remember
some years ago my daughter was ten years old. She was going to school on bicycle she
was going one and a half kilometres. I said goodbye Stephanie, and she said goodbye
in the morning and went on her bicycle. So she went this way and I went the other way
to pray. And as I was walking the Holy Spirit spoke to me, "Stop! Your daughter needs you."
And I thought, "What? -- "Your daughter needs you." -- "No, no, she... I just said goodbye
to her." -- "Your daughter needs you." I said, "Oh, my daughter needs me." So I was
going that way but the Holy Spirit said, "Stop your daughter needs you." So I turned around
and I was now running the other way. It was one and a half kilometres to school. But
after one kilometre I saw my daughter. There was a small bridge and she was standing on
the bridge and I went there and she was standing beside her bicycle and crying. I said, "Hello
Stephanie." She looked at me! And the first thing she said, "Father! What are you
doing here?" I could then say, "God said that you needed me, and now I am here."
It was really strong for her because she saw me go the other way and suddenly I’m
standing beside her and could say that God sent me. "The Holy Spirit told me that
you need me and now I’m here." She had a problem with the bicycle and I could help
her go back. Another testimony: I remember one time when I
was going to open the mail box and before I put the key in, the Holy Spirit said, "There
is something here you don’t like but no problem I have everything in control."
When I opened the mail box and there was something I didn’t like: one time there
was a bill because we got some money from the state here in Denmark from a house we
had. There was a bill we had to pay a lot of money back and we didn’t have it.
I thought, "Oh no, ...hey, God is in control." The Holy Spirit had warned me beforehand.
So I just contacted them and said can you just check it one more time?" They said, "Yes
we will check it and come back to you." This is now six years ago and I’ve
never heard anything and I’ve never paid the money.
So the Holy Spirit can lead us in everyday life, and this is the life we are called to;
each of us. One more story: I want to share one more testimony to show how it is working.
Some years ago I was out evangelizing and stood talking with 3-4 young persons and
there was a young guy there who came and stood beside me when I was sharing the gospel. When
he came the Holy Spirit said to me, "You are going to be his father." I thought,
"What?" It came as a total surprise to me. I looked at him and then he left.
I continued talking and then he came back again. When I had finished talking I said,
"OK, is anybody here sick? And that young guy said yes! And he took his trouser leg
up he had a lot of bandages on his knee. He said, "Yesterday I fell off my scooter and
I have a lot of pain, I’ve not been able to bend my leg, I could not walk." I said, "Look
here." I prayed for this guy and he took the bandage off and he was surprised! He took
the plaster off and he was standing and the tears were coming out, and he said, “No
more pain!" And I said, "Come with me." and I took him, I didn’t know this guy, and
the first thing I said was, "Tell me about your parents." And he was so surprised! So
he said, "OK, my father is dead, and my mother is very sick, she is going to
die." And I said, "I’ve never seen you before, but when you came God spoke to
me that I was going to be a father for you, I am going to help you." He was so
surprised, I was also surprised. And then I got his phone number and we were writing
to each other but he had just met me, and so strong an experience, so he was a little afraid
to meet me again. But two weeks later there came some people to me who were going to become
journalists so they were studying and they came to me and wanted
to interview me. We were sitting in Burger King and talking, they were interviewing me.
Then one of them said, "Hey I have a camera with me, we want to go with you and
see what you are doing on the street, can we do that now?" -- "Now?" I didn’t want to,
to be honest, I didn’t want to do that, I wanted to go home and relax because I was
tired. But because he said that I said, "OK ...shall I? OK, OK...let’s go. Let’s
go to the city." I jumped in the car and I went to the city and was sitting in the
car and I was praying. And I felt like the Holy Spirit spoke to me, I felt like... I
looked at my hands...I said, "God...I pray right now. Hands...yes. Hand in bandage...God
send somebody ...send somebody to the street right now God who has their hand in a bandage
who is going to get healed God. Thank you because it is going to be a testimony for those people,
in the name of Jesus." It was what I prayed. We came to the street, I was walking there,
We didn’t find any right there who wanted to talk with us. Then I saw the young guy
I met two weeks before the guy God told me was to be his father. I saw him and said, "Hey
how are you?" -- "Hey...I’m fine." I saw he had a bandage on his hand and
I said, "What is wrong with you?" -- "I don’t know, it was yesterday I
got a lot of pain and it hurts." -- "Hey! I have some journalist people who are
studying to become journalists, they don’t believe in this. Can I pray for you?" -- "Yes, you
can do that." It is OK they are filming and you can tell what happened two weeks ago.
Yeah! So they were filming him in the middle of the street and he was telling them how
he met me two weeks before how he got healed with the knee. Then I pray for him and
this time, the bandage ..One more time not the knee but the hand and then tears in
his eyes again, and he said, "It’s gone!" It was really an eye opener for them!
And it was really strong for him. Then he was ready to meet me, and we talked again
and said that we were going to meet later. Then I met somebody
the day after, a Christian, and I told the story of what God had done and how God
had led me to this boy. He came to me and said, "Tom, I feel like the Holy Spirit
is saying to me I should give you two hundred dollars, this is for you and your son."
I called this young boy and I said, "I want to invite you out to eat." He said, "OK
let’s go out." I met with him and we were out eating and he said, "Tom there
is something I want to say to you, something special, do you remember the day you met
me in the street when you prayed for my hand? I never go to the street, it was the first
time after school I went to the city, I was on my way home, but I felt there was
something inside who said that I have to go to the city and there I met you." Can you see
it? I was praying in the car God send somebody with their hand in a bandage. I led
me to praying that because God knew this guy. This young guy had the hand in a bandage
and God spoke to him and said, "Go in the street." And we met each other and he got healed.
I got in contact with him and two days later he called me, "Tom my scooter has just
broken down and I got a new job and I cannot go to work because I do not have any scooter."
But because I had the money I paid. It cost exactly what I had, so I paid for
his scooter and went to his job. So everything is God working. This is
what I like when it comes to being led by the Holy Spirit. I meet many people
who are very sceptical when it comes to God. When we talk about healing they are also
very sceptical saying, "No, no, no... this is just something in the mind- they
don’t believe in it. Because they think it is something just in the mind. But when
I start to talk and tell testimonies about being led by the Holy Spirit, everybody closes 549
their mouths and are surprised because it is not just something I can imagine in
my mind. Because God can speak to me. But before things happen God had to speak to this
person and this person and this person and everything has to go like this. And this is
what I like and I am seeing sceptics, non-believers getting their mouth closed when I start to
tell about everyday life with the Holy Spirit. This life is not only for me,
IT IS FOR YOU! Because Jesus said we have to get born again by the Holy Spirit:
not born of water, but of water and Spirit; he is talking about repentance, baptism in
water and the Holy Spirit. And in John 3 when He is talking about that He is saying this,
"Do not marvel when I say to you, you must be born again." and He continued,
"the wind blows where it wishes and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it
comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit." He is
talking about the wind. And I want to explain that. "So it is with everyone who is born of
the Spirit." Jesus said we have to get born again. We have to get born again
by the Spirit. Getting born again by the Spirit is like the wind. The wind: you don’t know
where it is coming from and you don’t know where it is going and so is everyone who is
born of the Spirit. Or I can say- who is being... who is walking- led by the Spirit.
Romans 8 is says- we are not walking by the flesh...led by the flesh, but led
by the Spirit. It is much more than helping us keep away from sin, it is to live the life I have
just spoken about.
Being led by the Holy Spirit, the wind... Sometimes the wind will blow this way...or the
this way... then the wind is blowing the this way....and it is going back...so
the wind is coming from here and there and the wind is coming really fast from there
and slow from there. The same as is being led by the Spirit. God said, "Pray for Simon
Jul." Go to Copenhagen! God said, "Your daughter needs you, go back." God said,
"Pray for this guy with the hand there." And God told my wife to pray for something
in December and God spoke to somebody in South Africa and now we are going there. "Can you
see it? It is like the wind, we don’t know every day where we are going. We just
know that the Holy Spirit is leading us. One day he says this way, then he says this way,
then he says this way. These testimonies I am telling you
today can seem like, "Oh, this is powerful Tom, you are powerful. You experience a lot
of things." No, this is normal! This is for EVERYONE who is born of the Spirit.
Go back to the book of Acts. Read about Paul, about Peter, about Ananias, about the persons
I’ve been talking about during this Bible school. See being led by the Holy Spirit was
not only for a few people, it’s for everyone. It’s the same today. I want to give
you some advice. I want to end up giving you some practical advice, something
that can help you to come into this life. Because there is something we have misunderstood when
it comes to the Holy Spirit. I want to say to you also, I got born by the Holy Spirit,
born again, eighteen years ago. But the first many years I didn’t experience what
I am experiencing now. It isn’t that God hadn’t been speaking. God had been speaking
from the day I got saved. Because everybody who is
born by the Spirit is a child of God. We have ears but we have to use the ears
to hear what God is saying. And from the first day when I got born again the Spirit was talking
to me, the Holy Spirit was leading me. But I was not listening. I didn’t know how to
listen, and because I was not listening there were so many things I didn’t do. When
I think back it is so sad; all the things I’ve been missing out on because I didn’t
listen. Because I was walking in my own power. Because I was doing what I thought to do instead
of listening to what the Holy Spirit was saying. There is so much we have been missing out
on, because we don’t know how God is working, we don’t live the life we read in
the book of Acts, we don’t make disciples, we don’t train and equip each other.
I’ve been missing out on so much. But some years ago I tasted what it is to be led by the Spirit
and I looked at my wife and she looked at me and we said this is what we want. And we changed
our life totally upside down and we changed a lot of things so we could have time to seek
God and listen. In my book The Last Reformation you can read a little about my story how we
had a house and we gave it all up and we live very simply because we needed to have the
time to seek God. Because like every other person, it’s not that I just hear voices
all the time. No, it’s difficult to hear. It’s not like I’m better to hear
than other people, but I have been training and this is the difference. I want to say
something about praying, I have never heard God speak to me with a loud voice. When God
speaks to me He is speaking in my mind. every story I have just been telling you now,
where God has been speaking, -pray for Simon Jul, -pray for an open door, -pray for this,
-do that, -go this way, every story has just been in my mind, what? Yeah and this is
often what we misunderstand, because when we read in the book of Acts, the old testament
and other places, when the Holy Spirit led... we think yeah...it was so easy to live there.
It is so easy to do it because they didn’t doubt, they just knew it was God, but
I don’t believe you will ever know with 100% certainty that it is God you
are hearing because then it is not by faith. God wants everything to be by faith.
Every time I’ve told a story about how God had spoken to me by the Holy
Spirit; every time it was by faith. I get a thought and I have to choose and if I believe
if it was God or not, and I have to act on it. This is how I started. I remember
some years ago, I was out walking and I was starting to take time to seek God. I needed
to come in and learn to listen to God’s voice. I was walking and I saw there was
a forest, at the end of the forest there was a field and at the end of the field there
were some people who were working. And I got a thought. "Go talk with them."
-- "No, no, no.-- "Go and talk with them?" -- "No...it’s just me."
It was like every other thing I hear. The first thing I say is, "It’s just me, but...maybe
it’s God? No...it’s just me...Is it God? And what could I do there?" There was
only one thing I could try: I could not say... "God if it is you, please..." No, it doesn’t
work like that. God had been speaking one time and then I had to find out if it was
God or it wasn’t God. So I decided I had to try. So I went there and I was really nervous
and I said, "Excuse me, excuse me, can I talk with you ten minutes?" And there were some people
who were sitting there eating who were working in a forest. And I just shared a testimony
and said thank you and went I was so afraid. As I went from there I said, "Oh it was
just me." Because no supernatural experience happened, I thought it was just me. But
what happened was, one week later a girl came and said, "Hey...can I say thank you?
Thank you!" -- "Thank you for what?" -- "My brother is a fallen away Christian, he was working
in the forest and one day you came and spoke to him and now he has come back to God."
I thought, "Woo....nice!" I had thought it was me, but when I heard her say that, I
suddenly knew that it was God. Later, I experienced something similar and because
I had that experience the last time it helped me to tune in and recognise if is this thought
is from me or is it from God? For example, if my wife is calling me from
a different telephone, I take the telephone, she can say, "Hello." and I say, "Hey Lene,
why are you calling from this number? I don’t know; whose telephone number is that? Because
I have spent a lot of time with my wife and I know her voice. But if other people are
calling, and say, "Hello it’s me." I say "Who are you?" because I don’t recognize
their voice. The same way with God, if we want to get better at recognizing His voice
we have to be quiet, listen and take some chances. If you get a thought you have
to try it..."God is that you? Or is it me?" Because God, for me, is not speaking loud like this, God
is not speaking loud like this! God is speaking to my head with a small thought. But the way
I recognise it is, "Hey....where did that come from?" It’s not like I’m sitting focusing,
thinking, we don’t have to use our minds to get it, No, we have
to worship God, we have to focus on Him and then suddenly there comes a thought. "Hey,
God this is you." So we have to practice. This is discipleship
again and again, it’s all about discipleship. You start where you are and then you practice
and you become better and better and better to listen to God, to do other things.
But at the same time, it always takes faith, you always have to believe and take a step
by faith. Hebrews chapter 5 when it is talking about a new believer, an old Christian, a mature
believer says, "Those, who by reason of use, have had their senses exercised to discern
both good and evil." So you get your senses exercised by reason of use, you use it again
and again. We need to exercise our senses so we can discern what is from God and what
is not from God, it is so simple like this. It is like when Jesus is talking about praying
in Matthew 6. He said, "But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your
Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you."
Pray to your Father who is in secret, God is not like...
taking God, sitting Him on a chair, sit down with him and say, "God what about this?..OK..What
about this? What about this? We are not talking to God like one man talks to another man, it’s
not like that. It is by the Holy Spirit and the way we learn
is by exercising, using, what God has given us like I did. I got a small thought, is
that God or is it not God? Then I try it and know it was not God, then another time, yes
it was God, yes it was God, and then I learned and after time it became
easier for me. It is easier to recognize what is God and what is not God.
God speaks to our minds, but at the same time I want to say that Satan
can also speak to our minds. That is why we need to try everything by the Word. If God
says something like, "Go and pray for him, go and do something good, you can do it
without a problem. Try it. but of course if you hear something bad, don’t do it.
Go to the Word of God and always get things confirmed by the Word of God and by the Spirit
inside of you; the peace. OK, is that good thing or not a good thing? Because every
good thing is coming down from God. And it is not like we have to...
I don’t believe that we have to say. "OK speak...God speak God speak..." then your mind
is going around. No, just take time, spend time on God, talk with Him, be together with
Him, focus on Him, thank Jesus. A good thing, I believe, if you really want to
be led by the Spirit and know what God is saying is to throw your TV out.
It has helped me, really, to be honest, if you are watching TV more than one or two
hours every day, throw it out, if you are listening to radio the whole day, throw
it out. When you are listening to music the whole day throw it out, why? Because if you
are doing TV or music and radio, when you go from there the last thing you hear is still
going into your mind spinning. You still hear the last song, you still hear what they have
been talking about, you still hear a lot of voices a lot of activity in your mind. And
because you have a lot of things your mind is not at ease to say, "What is it God?" and
what is all the rest? So we need to get rid of many of those things and learn something.
We don't to be quiet in the west. Learn to just listen, learn to just take time
and just be quiet with God. Just talk with Him, don’t have a lot of things happening all
the time. Take time, take time, it is all about taking time. Jesus was led by the
Holy Spirit in the wilderness for forty days and then he came out in the power of the Holy
Spirit. Forty days, yeah but I don’t have time for that. Everyone
of us has the same time 24 hours. It is how we choose with our time. Some years ago
we had a house, we had a car, I was working a lot and doing a lot of things. But then I
tasted what it is like to be led by the Holy Spirit. I got an experience and I said this
is what I want, I want this life. And because I wanted that life so much I changed
a lot of physical things around me which helped me to get more time. At one time we had
been living in a big house, had to earn a lot of money. Later we were living in a small
basement, with three kids. But because we changed everything, we got more time, time
to be quiet, time to seek God. Everything I have experienced has not come for free,
it doesn’t come suddenly. You don't live like every other person and then
you experience a lot of other strong things. No, you get what you pay for; you
do. We choose what we want. I have fasted forty days many times, I have taken
time with God. I walk a lot, I pray just like every other person. It’s not easy
for me to hear God speak. But because I have taken time to exercise concerning what
is good and evil, it has become so much easier for me now. I still need to learn
and I am learning every day. So what I have been teaching about here is that we
get baptized with the Holy Spirit and we need to be filled by the Holy Spirit. We need to
live in that fullness by taking time with God, we need to be led by the Spirit, we
need to have time to be led by the Spirit; to listen. We need to also move, we need to
take some chances and learn by using; by exercising. And when we do that we are going to walk in
the power of the Holy Spirit and as you see the Holy Spirit was part of the
first church and the Holy Spirit is part of the church today because He is the same.
This is for everyone, this is for you, this is for me, this is for everyone, so I hope
you got something out of this teaching. I want to encourage you, take time. Take time
to just be together with God, take the other things that are disturbing you,
all the sounds in your head ..all the things... just take time and throw it out...do some fasting
with you and God together, and just reading the word and praying; Word and pray,
you and Him. And then you will see that God is starting to speak to you clearly. And you
take some steps in faith and you will recognize when God speaks it is like that,
the next time, and next time...and next time and then we can start to live the fellowship where
God puts something on our heart and we pray and then it happens. God puts something there,
we pray and it happens. It’s all about the will of God. I don’t say that...we go
to South Africa because God put it in my wife’s heart to pray these things, it’s not like
Oh, we just pray because my flesh wants it, or I want to go on holiday and I want
to have a new car, and I want to have that... No, I don’t believe in that. I believe that
if we pray according to the will of God then we know that we already receive what we pray
for. But we have to know what the will of God is, and that comes by living with God.
The next time after we go to South Africa, I am going to talk about fasting, this is
an important message. I’m going to talk about fasting and give you some practical
tools for fasting. If you have a question out of this teaching come with it and I
will to start with it next time. And after fasting I am going to continue with
Luke 10 and other places in the Bible. Now Lene is going to sing one of her songs.
You have heard it before, but just let the words speak to you out of this message
because it is your life and many things...I know it is radical, but how much has God been
speaking to you the last years. But you have not been able to listen, and because you have
not been listening you have not been able to receive what He has for you. The testimonies
you have lost, the experiences you have not gotten, where God has so much more for each of
us. The first many years I was a Christian I didn’t see this life, then I tasted
a little of it and said this is what I want and now I am seeing it more and more. It
is not because God is speaking more and more, it’s because I am getting better to listen.
I am getting better to act on what He is giving me, and I believe if you act in faith, God
is not going to say, "What did you do! It was not me who was speaking!" ‘No’
He would say, look at this guy, look at this girl, this woman. And then He will help you, so
you can recognize the voice of God. So don’t be afraid, start to do something, ask God
every morning, “God help me today, give me something...talk to me, I want to be open."
Then take some step in faith, at the same time seek God.
OK My wife is going to sing. I look forward to next time when I'm going to talk about fasting. Bye, bye.
