00:00:02,311 --> 00:00:04,071
The Call of Jesus

2
00:00:05,268 --> 00:00:09,498
Welcome to lesson five in this series 
called "The Call of Jesus"

3
00:00:09,498 --> 00:00:13,986
where I'm talking out from my book
by the same name "The Call of Jesus".

4
00:00:14,406 --> 00:00:18,038
I want to do one video 
for every chapter in the book.

5
00:00:18,038 --> 00:00:23,516
Now we've come to chapter five
and it's called "The Leading of the Holy Spirit".

6
00:00:23,516 --> 00:00:26,686
I just want to say, I love being led
by the Holy Spirit.

7
00:00:26,686 --> 00:00:31,686
I love it. I am excited about
being led by the Holy Spirit.

8
00:00:32,016 --> 00:00:36,327
I think it's so important for all of us,
as believers, that we understand

9
00:00:36,867 --> 00:00:38,990
what the Holy Spirit wants to do.

10
00:00:38,990 --> 00:00:41,010
We are not called to do this alone.

11
00:00:41,010 --> 00:00:44,952
We are called to be led by the Holy Spirit.

12
00:00:45,272 --> 00:00:47,909
I want to talk about that in this chapter.

13
00:00:47,909 --> 00:00:51,091
I want to start with reading something
from the chapter:

14
00:00:51,811 --> 00:00:56,739
"The Holy Spirit wants to be as big a part
of our everyday lives

15
00:00:56,739 --> 00:01:00,539
as He was in the lives of the first disciples.

16
00:01:00,539 --> 00:01:03,488
He wants to guide us, work through us,

17
00:01:03,488 --> 00:01:08,579
and to make it so that there are no
difference between our lives

18
00:01:08,579 --> 00:01:14,153
and the lives of the first disciples
we read about in the Book of Acts."

19
00:01:14,543 --> 00:01:19,962
And I want to say this. I really, really, really
believe that the Book of Acts in the Bible

20
00:01:19,962 --> 00:01:23,187
should be the normal Christian life.

21
00:01:23,187 --> 00:01:28,727
And what they experienced there is the same 
you and me should experience today.

22
00:01:28,727 --> 00:01:31,883
We should not build on our church traditions.

23
00:01:31,883 --> 00:01:34,953
We should build on the Bible
and the Bible alone.

24
00:01:34,953 --> 00:01:37,769
And the Holy Spirit is here to guide us.

25
00:01:37,769 --> 00:01:41,248
He is here to help us.
He is here to lead us to the truth.

26
00:01:41,248 --> 00:01:46,995
He is here to remind us of every word
Jesus has spoken.

27
00:01:46,995 --> 00:01:51,690
When we look at Luke 10, as we are going 
to go through in this book,

28
00:01:51,690 --> 00:01:55,906
verse by verse by verse,
we start reading this:

29
00:01:55,906 --> 00:02:00,534
"After these things the Lord appointed 
seventy others also,

30
00:02:00,534 --> 00:02:06,930
and sent them two by two before His face
into every city and place

31
00:02:06,930 --> 00:02:11,268
where He Himself was about to go."

32
00:02:11,938 --> 00:02:16,648
So, here we read that after Jesus
appointed them two and two,

33
00:02:16,648 --> 00:02:26,092
He sent them into every city and place
where He Himself wanted to go.

34
00:02:26,092 --> 00:02:31,251
When Jesus walked on earth
He was led by the Spirit of God

35
00:02:31,251 --> 00:02:34,630
and He walked here on earth physically

36
00:02:34,630 --> 00:02:40,360
and He wanted to go to different cities
and places,

37
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,558
because He knew that the harvest
was great

38
00:02:42,558 --> 00:02:46,505
and there were people who were waiting
for Him in that city, and that city,

39
00:02:46,505 --> 00:02:48,445
and that place, and that place.

40
00:02:48,445 --> 00:02:55,820
So, when Jesus walked on earth physically,
He wanted to go to different places.

41
00:02:55,820 --> 00:03:00,462
For example, the woman in Samaria,
the woman at the well He went to.

42
00:03:00,462 --> 00:03:05,589
But now, Jesus is not here 
physically anymore.

43
00:03:05,589 --> 00:03:07,612
Now He is in Heaven.

44
00:03:08,012 --> 00:03:11,167
But, He did not leave us alone.

45
00:03:11,567 --> 00:03:17,232
When He left to Heaven, 
He sent His Spirit down here.

46
00:03:17,552 --> 00:03:23,008
And now, we are Christ's body
and He is the head.

47
00:03:23,008 --> 00:03:28,968
And like Jesus wanted to go to 
specific cities and places at that time,

48
00:03:28,968 --> 00:03:31,899
because there were people there
who were the persons of peace,

49
00:03:31,899 --> 00:03:33,072
who were seeking God,

50
00:03:33,072 --> 00:03:38,902
the same way He wants now us,
as His body,

51
00:03:38,902 --> 00:03:41,389
by the Holy Spirit in us,

52
00:03:41,389 --> 00:03:43,850
to go to those places.

53
00:03:44,140 --> 00:03:47,827
And I truly believe that what we read
in the Book of Acts,

54
00:03:47,827 --> 00:03:50,293
when we read about being led
by the Holy Spirit

55
00:03:50,553 --> 00:03:52,654
and what Jesus commanded to do,

56
00:03:53,394 --> 00:03:55,625
is the same today.

57
00:03:57,015 --> 00:04:00,115
The Book of Acts is not just like
the book of... What is that?

58
00:04:00,115 --> 00:04:01,540
Is it a book of the apostles

59
00:04:01,540 --> 00:04:03,797
or is it a book about the work
of the Holy Spirit?

60
00:04:03,797 --> 00:04:08,926
Because the Book of Acts really shows
what the Holy Spirit can do

61
00:04:08,926 --> 00:04:11,488
in a person who follows Christ.

62
00:04:11,488 --> 00:04:14,905
And I want to read something here
from this chapter of my book:

63
00:04:14,905 --> 00:04:19,638
"All the way through the book of Acts,
we read how the Holy Spirit worked

64
00:04:19,638 --> 00:04:22,953
through the first disciples.

65
00:04:22,953 --> 00:04:29,202
He was a big part of their life, 
as it was He who was leading them.

66
00:04:29,702 --> 00:04:36,124
In the book of Acts, we read things like,
'It seems good to the Holy Spirit, and us.'

67
00:04:36,124 --> 00:04:42,666
(Acts, 15:28), 'So, being sent out
by the Holy Spirit' (Acts 13:4),

68
00:04:42,666 --> 00:04:48,330
and 'they were forbidden
by the Holy Spirit' (Acts 16:6)."

69
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,777
I truly believe it should be like that
today in our lives.

70
00:04:54,257 --> 00:04:59,188
But where do we ever in the churches
hear something like that today?

71
00:04:59,188 --> 00:05:01,731
Where do we ever hear somebody
talk like that,

72
00:05:01,731 --> 00:05:05,860
saying like: Hey, it seems good
to the Holy Spirit and to us.

73
00:05:05,860 --> 00:05:11,499
Or, being sent out by the Spirit,
or being forbidden by the Spirit

74
00:05:11,499 --> 00:05:12,851
to go there and there.

75
00:05:12,851 --> 00:05:18,660
We don't hear a talk like that today,
but this should be how it is.

76
00:05:18,660 --> 00:05:21,867
Why? Because Jesus is the same
yesterday, today and forever,

77
00:05:21,867 --> 00:05:25,132
and the Holy Spirit is the same
yesterday, today and forever.

78
00:05:25,132 --> 00:05:26,987
Let's keep reading my book.

79
00:05:27,407 --> 00:05:35,353
"We see this even more clearly if we look 
at the disciple Philip in Acts 8:26-40.

80
00:05:35,353 --> 00:05:40,931
One day in Philip's life, he experienced 
an angel of the Lord speaking to him,

81
00:05:40,931 --> 00:05:43,294
telling him where to go.

82
00:05:43,294 --> 00:05:46,689
When he arrived there where the angel 
said he should go,

83
00:05:46,689 --> 00:05:51,561
he saw a chariot, and then the Holy Spirit
spoke to him

84
00:05:51,561 --> 00:05:56,408
saying that he should run over to the chariot
and speak with the man there.

85
00:05:56,408 --> 00:06:01,666
When he obeyed and went there,
he met the 'person of peace'

86
00:06:01,666 --> 00:06:03,830
(I will come back to this later).

87
00:06:03,830 --> 00:06:09,059
The man there was ready, seeking God.
Philip then shared the gospel

88
00:06:09,059 --> 00:06:11,631
with the eunuch, and he repented.

89
00:06:11,631 --> 00:06:17,606
As soon as the eunuch saw water,
he was immediately baptized.

90
00:06:17,606 --> 00:06:20,947
Just after the baptism, Philip experienced
something amazing.

91
00:06:20,947 --> 00:06:25,772
The Holy Spirit suddenly took him away
to another place.

92
00:06:25,772 --> 00:06:30,739
It is really amazing when we read 
how God worked in Philip's life.

93
00:06:31,289 --> 00:06:36,003
God was a part of the early church,
just like He wants

94
00:06:36,003 --> 00:06:38,358
to be a part of your life 
and my life today."

95
00:06:38,358 --> 00:06:42,079
Hallelujah! The call Jesus has given us
is not impossible.

96
00:06:42,079 --> 00:06:45,706
He would never call us to do something
He would not empower us to do.

97
00:06:46,056 --> 00:06:49,638
And He has given us the Holy Spirit
and by the Holy Spirit

98
00:06:49,638 --> 00:06:52,921
we can experience crazy things.

99
00:06:53,361 --> 00:06:56,407
Who does Jesus want to visit today?

100
00:06:56,407 --> 00:07:01,613
Who does Jesus want you to go to
and speak to?

101
00:07:02,043 --> 00:07:07,110
Like Philip was led by the Holy Spirit,
we today can be led by the Holy Spirit

102
00:07:07,110 --> 00:07:10,109
to that person who is ready to receive.

103
00:07:10,109 --> 00:07:15,831
I have many strong examples where
I've seen how the Holy Spirit

104
00:07:15,831 --> 00:07:19,840
has led me, and I think it should be
like that in all of our lives.

105
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:24,889
One funny example. It looks a little
like Philip in the book of Acts 8,

106
00:07:24,889 --> 00:07:26,590
we've just read.

107
00:07:26,590 --> 00:07:28,749
Some years ago I was out walking.

108
00:07:28,749 --> 00:07:31,710
I've been walking, 
I've been out on the street evangelizing.

109
00:07:31,710 --> 00:07:35,546
I was walking on the way home
and suddenly I heard God said: Stop.

110
00:07:35,546 --> 00:07:37,850
And I was like: What?
Go back.

111
00:07:38,590 --> 00:07:42,901
I turned around. When I turned around
I saw a man behind me.

112
00:07:42,901 --> 00:07:44,824
I thought I should go to him.

113
00:07:44,824 --> 00:07:47,970
He was standing with his back
towards me, so I didn't want to come

114
00:07:47,970 --> 00:07:56,050
from his behind, so I walked around him,
and then I stood there

115
00:07:56,050 --> 00:07:59,564
like I was looking at the shop,
and then I turned to look at his face.

116
00:07:59,564 --> 00:08:02,228
And then he was suddenly gone.
And I was like...

117
00:08:02,228 --> 00:08:06,211
I stood there, in front of the shop now,
and I thought: God, I thought You said:

118
00:08:06,211 --> 00:08:09,436
Stop. Go back. And now the man is gone.

119
00:08:09,436 --> 00:08:12,154
And then I looked at the shop.

120
00:08:12,154 --> 00:08:15,500
It was a hairdresser, and it was funny
because I don't use that anymore.

121
00:08:15,500 --> 00:08:18,019
And it seemed weird, because I was
on my way home,

122
00:08:18,019 --> 00:08:20,607
God said: Stop and go back.
And now I was standing in front

123
00:08:20,607 --> 00:08:22,482
of a hairdresser shop.

124
00:08:23,282 --> 00:08:25,753
And then somebody came from my
behind and said:

125
00:08:25,753 --> 00:08:29,944
Excuse me, you are blocking the door. 
I turned around. Sorry!

126
00:08:29,944 --> 00:08:32,857
When I turned around and looked
at that person who said: Sorry,

127
00:08:32,857 --> 00:08:36,955
I was so excited. Because when I saw
him I knew he was the person of peace.

128
00:08:36,955 --> 00:08:40,624
It made sense why God said:
Go back and stand right there.

129
00:08:40,624 --> 00:08:45,580
Because that young man had one arm
under the jacket like this.

130
00:08:45,580 --> 00:08:48,748
So I said: Hey, stop, stop.
Can I ask you something?

131
00:08:48,748 --> 00:08:50,973
Do you believe in God?

132
00:08:50,973 --> 00:08:54,188
And he said: It is so interesting you ask me.

133
00:08:54,508 --> 00:08:57,904
Because my grandmother died two weeks
ago and she had a Bible.

134
00:08:57,904 --> 00:09:03,266
And I inherited her Bible and the last two
weeks I've been reading the Bible every day.

135
00:09:03,266 --> 00:09:05,606
But I don't understand what I read.

136
00:09:05,606 --> 00:09:11,463
And this morning I said: God, if You are real,
send somebody to explain what I'm reading.

137
00:09:12,483 --> 00:09:17,158
It was so amazing. I said: I'm a Christian.
I want to explain it. Let me pray for your arm.

138
00:09:17,158 --> 00:09:20,674
What happened? And he had internal 
bleeding in his arm.

139
00:09:20,674 --> 00:09:22,952
I prayed for him and he got completely 
healed right away,

140
00:09:22,952 --> 00:09:26,363
and he was a person of peace,
and I could share the gospel with him.

141
00:09:26,363 --> 00:09:29,014
I love examples like this.
Almost like the Book of Acts.

142
00:09:29,014 --> 00:09:31,851
He was a person of peace 
ready to receive,

143
00:09:31,851 --> 00:09:37,036
and the Holy Spirit spoke: Go back, 
stand there in front of the window almost,

144
00:09:37,036 --> 00:09:41,325
so that guy came and could not enter in.

145
00:09:42,565 --> 00:09:47,021
We need to have experiences like this,
where the Holy Spirit is leading us.

146
00:09:47,691 --> 00:09:49,968
I have many experiences like that.

147
00:09:49,968 --> 00:09:53,434
I believe there is a reason for that.
I want to share that with you.

148
00:09:53,854 --> 00:10:00,529
A main reason I think is the balance
between listening to the Spirit and doing it.

149
00:10:01,759 --> 00:10:03,986
I believe we need to listen to the Spirit,

150
00:10:03,986 --> 00:10:07,288
but I also believe we need to do.
We just need to obey.

151
00:10:08,788 --> 00:10:11,796
I don't wait for the Holy Spirit 
to speak to me,

152
00:10:11,796 --> 00:10:15,768
in that way that... There are some people
who are over-spiritual.

153
00:10:15,768 --> 00:10:17,236
Don't be over-spiritual.

154
00:10:17,236 --> 00:10:20,765
I met people who are over-spiritual,
so they never leave their homes

155
00:10:20,765 --> 00:10:24,577
unless they get a very, very clear
word that God says: Go.

156
00:10:24,577 --> 00:10:27,400
No, I don't need the Holy Spirit
to say: Go. Why?

157
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,769
Because Jesus has already said: Go.

158
00:10:29,769 --> 00:10:31,686
He has already said: Go.

159
00:10:31,686 --> 00:10:36,575
So, why wait for another "Go" when
He has already said: "Go"?

160
00:10:36,575 --> 00:10:38,465
So, I don't wait for that "Go".

161
00:10:38,465 --> 00:10:40,587
I go because Jesus has already said it.

162
00:10:40,587 --> 00:10:43,270
I obey it because it's already written
in His Word.

163
00:10:43,270 --> 00:10:47,124
But, while I am obeying,
I'm listening.

164
00:10:47,124 --> 00:10:48,957
And I think that is important.

165
00:10:48,957 --> 00:10:53,161
Also, that man I've just told about,
when God said: Stop and go back,

166
00:10:53,161 --> 00:10:56,965
I was not sitting home on my couch 
and doing nothing.

167
00:10:56,965 --> 00:10:59,268
No, I was actually out there obeying,

168
00:10:59,268 --> 00:11:02,396
and out there obeying - God spoke.

169
00:11:02,396 --> 00:11:05,280
Let me read something from this chapter
in my book.

170
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:12,687
"I believe it is important that we have
the attitude of doing whatever Jesus said to do,

171
00:11:12,687 --> 00:11:20,048
no matter if we feel like it or not, or if we
experience God speaking directly to us or not.

172
00:11:20,048 --> 00:11:23,640
It is important that when you go out
on His Word,

173
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,637
you are praying, listening, and asking
the Holy Spirit

174
00:11:27,637 --> 00:11:31,508
if there is anything He wants to say
to you today.

175
00:11:31,998 --> 00:11:34,268
This is when things start to happen.

176
00:11:34,268 --> 00:11:40,305
For example, if you look at a car,
you can sit behind the wheel

177
00:11:40,615 --> 00:11:47,659
and turn the wheel as much as you want,
but no matter how much you turn the wheel,

178
00:11:47,659 --> 00:11:51,322
nothing will happen when the car
is not moving.

179
00:11:52,492 --> 00:11:57,579
Because the car is not moving,
it actually is more difficult to turn the wheel,

180
00:11:57,579 --> 00:12:03,515
but when the car starts to move,
it is both easier to turn the wheel

181
00:12:03,515 --> 00:12:09,794
and also to move the car
where you want it to go.

182
00:12:09,794 --> 00:12:14,065
This is the same with God
and being led by the Holy Spirit.

183
00:12:14,565 --> 00:12:21,068
We can sit in our church and pray to God,
and wait for the Holy Spirit to lead us.

184
00:12:21,068 --> 00:12:26,624
We can pray and fast, but nothing will happen 
because we are doing nothing.

185
00:12:27,344 --> 00:12:33,138
But when we start to obey and go out
on the Word of God by faith,

186
00:12:33,568 --> 00:12:38,563
while having a strong life with God
of praying and fasting,

187
00:12:38,563 --> 00:12:44,974
we will then experience that it is so much
easier to be led by the Holy Spirit."

188
00:12:45,924 --> 00:12:50,117
I want to say, what I just read here,
I really believe in this with a car.

189
00:12:50,537 --> 00:12:54,728
We need to not just sit and move
the wheel.

190
00:12:54,728 --> 00:12:56,785
We need the car running first.

191
00:12:56,785 --> 00:13:02,217
We need to get car started.
We, you need to start to obey.

192
00:13:02,217 --> 00:13:04,867
Why? Because Jesus said it.

193
00:13:05,377 --> 00:13:10,230
Don't wait. He has said it.
Obey His word.

194
00:13:10,230 --> 00:13:13,498
I've met so many people: 
Oh, I don't know what the will of God is

195
00:13:13,498 --> 00:13:15,398
for my life, I don't know what to do...

196
00:13:15,938 --> 00:13:20,743
Here. Take the Word, read it, obey it.
This is the God's will for your life.

197
00:13:20,743 --> 00:13:23,111
Go with it. Do it.

198
00:13:23,111 --> 00:13:26,245
But then, while you do it - listen.

199
00:13:26,245 --> 00:13:28,665
While you do it - be open for the Holy Spirit.

200
00:13:28,665 --> 00:13:32,231
And there, I think, it's so important
to spend time in prayer and fasting.

201
00:13:32,231 --> 00:13:36,730
And fasting is very, very important.
I talk about that more in my book.

202
00:13:36,730 --> 00:13:38,932
I really encourage you to get if you can.

203
00:13:38,932 --> 00:13:45,095
So, what I want to say with this lesson is
that I want to encourage you to go.

204
00:13:45,295 --> 00:13:46,989
Don't wait.

205
00:13:47,219 --> 00:13:50,630
Yes, if you have not received the Holy Spirit,
then don't go.

206
00:13:50,630 --> 00:13:54,196
If you have not received the Holy Spirit, 
find somebody near you,

207
00:13:54,196 --> 00:13:58,149
go to www.TLRmap.com, find somebody
near you who can pray for you

208
00:13:58,149 --> 00:13:59,787
to receive the Holy Spirit.

209
00:13:59,787 --> 00:14:02,614
That was the only time Jesus said:
Wait.

210
00:14:02,614 --> 00:14:05,197
That was when people were waiting
for the Holy Spirit.

211
00:14:05,197 --> 00:14:09,400
But after they got the Holy Spirit
He did not say: Wait. He said: Go.

212
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,347
Go, go, go, go, go.

213
00:14:11,347 --> 00:14:17,286
And I encourage you to what we read
here in Jesus' call, in Luke 10,

214
00:14:17,286 --> 00:14:20,809
is not for us to only pray about
and meditate about.

215
00:14:20,809 --> 00:14:22,647
It's for us to obey.

216
00:14:22,647 --> 00:14:25,594
It's for us to go and do.

217
00:14:25,594 --> 00:14:29,704
But, while you are going and doing,
I will talk more about that later,

218
00:14:29,704 --> 00:14:32,770
when we put it altogether and come
with a lot of testimonies,

219
00:14:35,130 --> 00:14:39,842
you need to open your ears and listen 
to what the Holy Spirit is saying to you.

220
00:14:39,842 --> 00:14:43,811
The Holy Spirit doesn't speak often
through a big, audible voice.

221
00:14:43,811 --> 00:14:47,123
The Holy Spirit speaks through 
small, small thoughts.

222
00:14:47,123 --> 00:14:51,478
When you are out on the street,
when you go and speak to somebody,

223
00:14:51,478 --> 00:14:56,316
you often see a multitude of people,
but then you pray and say: God...

224
00:14:56,316 --> 00:14:59,720
Who do you want me to speak to?
Who do you send me to?

225
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,505
And then often you see one person
you are somehow drawn to.

226
00:15:03,505 --> 00:15:06,550
You don't know why.
You just get your eyes on that person

227
00:15:06,550 --> 00:15:09,517
in a way... Why that person?

228
00:15:09,517 --> 00:15:10,986
The Holy Spirit is leading you.

229
00:15:10,986 --> 00:15:13,751
Or, you are like: God, who do You
want me to go to today?

230
00:15:13,751 --> 00:15:15,828
And then maybe it is a person you know,

231
00:15:15,828 --> 00:15:18,432
maybe it's a person from your family,
people around you,

232
00:15:18,432 --> 00:15:20,861
that person just comes to your mind.

233
00:15:20,861 --> 00:15:23,839
This is often how the Holy Spirit
is speaking.

234
00:15:23,839 --> 00:15:27,755
God puts somebody into your mind
and the Holy Spirit guides us.

235
00:15:27,755 --> 00:15:31,557
Like me, that time I was walking
I was on my way home,

236
00:15:31,557 --> 00:15:35,275
and it was just like my thoughts
suddenly: Stop. Go back. What?

237
00:15:35,635 --> 00:15:39,731
But I'm on the way home.
Go back. Okay.

238
00:15:39,731 --> 00:15:46,814
It was a thought that came into my mind,
and this is how God often speaks to us.

239
00:15:47,104 --> 00:15:53,021
So, ask Him who does He want you
to be sent to.

240
00:15:53,021 --> 00:15:56,491
And then, go in faith.
Go and talk with them.

241
00:15:56,981 --> 00:16:01,369
In next lessons in this video series
and in the book

242
00:16:01,369 --> 00:16:05,504
I will come with many, many, many
more details,

243
00:16:05,504 --> 00:16:10,335
next many times, of what you do
when you go out there.

244
00:16:10,335 --> 00:16:13,644
What you do when you then go and find
that person of peace.

245
00:16:13,644 --> 00:16:16,190
How you share the gospel,
how you heal the sick,

246
00:16:16,190 --> 00:16:19,409
how you cast out demons,
how you stay in their house,

247
00:16:19,409 --> 00:16:24,807
how you build communities 
like we read in Acts 10, Acts 16, Acts 19.

248
00:16:24,807 --> 00:16:27,729
How you see with Jesus
and the woman at the well,

249
00:16:27,729 --> 00:16:31,573
or Paul, or Lydia, or some of the other
examples in the Bible.

250
00:16:31,573 --> 00:16:33,491
I hope you are ready for it.

251
00:16:33,491 --> 00:16:37,313
Time is short. We are living in the end times.
Jesus is coming back soon.

252
00:16:38,737 --> 00:16:44,598
And make sure that when He comes back
He finds you working in His harvest.

253
00:16:44,598 --> 00:16:47,210
The harvest is great,
the workers are few.

254
00:16:47,210 --> 00:16:48,804
And we need you out there.

255
00:16:48,804 --> 00:16:50,850
It's not about being a super evangliest.

256
00:16:51,750 --> 00:16:53,444
It's about obeying Him.

257
00:16:54,194 --> 00:16:57,749
Don't say: Lord, Lord,
if you don't do what Jesus says.

258
00:16:57,749 --> 00:17:02,107
Let's read Jesus' words,
let's look at the call He has given all of us,

259
00:17:02,107 --> 00:17:04,030
and as I said in the beginning,

260
00:17:04,030 --> 00:17:07,411
maybe you feel a call to be a worship leader,
even you don't see that in the Bible,

261
00:17:07,411 --> 00:17:09,803
or be a businessman, even you don't see that.

262
00:17:09,803 --> 00:17:12,629
I think that's okay that people have 
different callings,

263
00:17:12,629 --> 00:17:16,418
things they feel God has called them to,
but...

264
00:17:16,418 --> 00:17:20,842
that call should not precede
the call of Jesus.

265
00:17:20,842 --> 00:17:23,603
You can have talents, things you want to do,

266
00:17:23,603 --> 00:17:27,418
but it, actually, comes down to obeying Him
and doing His will.

267
00:17:27,418 --> 00:17:31,253
Because when we say "yes" to Jesus
we say "no" to ourselves.

268
00:17:31,253 --> 00:17:35,479
And we say "yes" to denying ourselves
and taking up His cross and follow Him.

269
00:17:35,479 --> 00:17:37,331
And that is an exciting life.

270
00:17:37,331 --> 00:17:41,727
Until next time, share this video,
get the book on Amazon, if you can,

271
00:17:41,727 --> 00:17:43,606
or on the www.TheLastReformation.com.

272
00:17:43,606 --> 00:17:45,554
Read the book together with this series.

273
00:17:45,554 --> 00:17:50,019
Share it, and let's see the church comes back
to what Jesus has called us to.

274
00:17:50,019 --> 00:17:51,942
See you next time! God bless you!
Bye-bye!

275
00:17:54,755 --> 00:17:56,097
The Call of Jesus
