00:00:01,699 --> 00:00:04,066
The Call of Jesus

2
00:00:05,524 --> 00:00:09,366
Welcome to this chapter four,
called "Two and Two".

3
00:00:09,366 --> 00:00:13,763
This is out from the book "The Call of Jesus", 
finding the person of peace.

4
00:00:14,043 --> 00:00:18,085
For you, who are maybe new here,
we are going to go

5
00:00:18,085 --> 00:00:21,193
through this chapter, by chapter,
by chapter.

6
00:00:21,193 --> 00:00:24,958
And I'm going to give you some
teaching and some tools,

7
00:00:24,958 --> 00:00:29,623
so you, together with me,
can obey the call Jesus has given us.

8
00:00:30,153 --> 00:00:32,666
And its's written here:
Finding the person of peace.

9
00:00:32,666 --> 00:00:36,269
The whole goal is learn to find
the person of peace.

10
00:00:36,269 --> 00:00:38,792
We are all called to bear fruit.

11
00:00:38,792 --> 00:00:42,835
And to bear fruit is not to stand
on the platform in a church,

12
00:00:42,835 --> 00:00:44,816
or to stand on a platform
in Africa.

13
00:00:44,816 --> 00:00:48,506
To bear fruit is to find that person of peace,

14
00:00:48,506 --> 00:00:51,705
find that person Jesus has called us to.

15
00:00:51,705 --> 00:00:53,992
And we can all serve Him.

16
00:00:53,992 --> 00:00:57,520
We are starting to get a lot of feedback
on my book,

17
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,282
and I want to read what one wrote
on Amazon.

18
00:01:01,282 --> 00:01:04,706
The time is now and only now!

19
00:01:04,706 --> 00:01:07,129
Torben is known for his kickstarts;

20
00:01:07,129 --> 00:01:09,602
getting Christians activated on the streets,

21
00:01:09,602 --> 00:01:14,136
telling people about Jesus with signs, wonders,
and healing following.

22
00:01:14,136 --> 00:01:19,596
This book describes the kickstart method,
based on Luke 10,

23
00:01:19,596 --> 00:01:23,296
and amazing testimonies and 
practical information

24
00:01:23,296 --> 00:01:28,545
to get us all out there
manifesting the Book of Acts."

25
00:01:29,115 --> 00:01:34,990
And I want to say that, the goal of this book 
is really to give you simple tools,

26
00:01:34,990 --> 00:01:39,274
to help you to go out and manifest
the Book of Acts;

27
00:01:39,274 --> 00:01:43,298
go out and continue living the Book of Acts
with signs and wonders,

28
00:01:43,298 --> 00:01:46,555
being led by the Holy Spirit,
not only going out on the street

29
00:01:46,555 --> 00:01:49,849
and preaching the gospel on the street,
but going to the homes.

30
00:01:49,849 --> 00:01:54,248
And I really believe that the greatest 
evangelists are not always those

31
00:01:54,248 --> 00:01:58,075
who speak loudest, 
but those who have right hearts.

32
00:01:58,075 --> 00:02:02,885
If you are mom with kids,
come on, God wants to use you.

33
00:02:02,885 --> 00:02:05,928
You don't have to be a young guy,
able to go out on the street.

34
00:02:05,928 --> 00:02:08,306
God wants to use you 
to reach your neighbor.

35
00:02:08,306 --> 00:02:11,215
And it's time to obey Jesus' call.

36
00:02:11,215 --> 00:02:14,441
It's time. Jesus is coming back
for His church.

37
00:02:14,441 --> 00:02:17,273
And He's coming back for a church
that is very different

38
00:02:17,273 --> 00:02:20,746
from the church we see today,
that is just a big institution.

39
00:02:21,056 --> 00:02:24,020
He will come back for a living,
organic church,

40
00:02:24,020 --> 00:02:30,154
led by the Holy Spirit, where everyone 
is bearing fruit in its everyday life.

41
00:02:30,154 --> 00:02:35,239
I want to start reading something
from Luke 10:1:

42
00:02:35,239 --> 00:02:39,555
"After these things the Lord appointed
seventy others also,

43
00:02:39,555 --> 00:02:43,489
and sent them two by two
before His face

44
00:02:43,489 --> 00:02:48,669
to every city and place where He himself
wanted to go."

45
00:02:48,819 --> 00:02:55,228
Here we read that Jesus took the seventy
and He sent them out

46
00:02:55,228 --> 00:02:59,479
to places He wanted to go,
out in the harvest.

47
00:02:59,479 --> 00:03:02,674
And He sent them out two by two.

48
00:03:02,674 --> 00:03:06,915
That is what we are going to look at
right now, in this chapter.

49
00:03:07,495 --> 00:03:10,597
Why did He send them out
two by two?

50
00:03:10,597 --> 00:03:14,361
I think, one of the main reasons
is discipleship.

51
00:03:14,361 --> 00:03:19,635
Discipleship is something that we, 
in the church, have lost.

52
00:03:20,055 --> 00:03:22,223
Just take Jesus' words there.

53
00:03:22,933 --> 00:03:28,340
Where do you know any churches
who train the people

54
00:03:28,340 --> 00:03:32,725
and actually take them and send them out
two and two,

55
00:03:32,725 --> 00:03:35,197
like Jesus has commanded them to do?

56
00:03:35,197 --> 00:03:39,876
Very often we don't train people
and we don't send them out

57
00:03:39,876 --> 00:03:42,005
to the harvest, two and two.

58
00:03:42,005 --> 00:03:45,941
We come together and we want
the harvest to come to us.

59
00:03:45,941 --> 00:03:48,306
But that was not what Jesus said.

60
00:03:48,306 --> 00:03:52,710
He called us and He sent us out
two by two.

61
00:03:52,710 --> 00:03:56,632
I want to read this from my book,
from this chapter four:

62
00:03:56,812 --> 00:04:00,243
"One big advantage when it comes 
to discipleship is

63
00:04:00,243 --> 00:04:05,004
that by going out two by two,
we can learn from one another.

64
00:04:05,004 --> 00:04:08,819
When we talk about discipleship,
we need to understand

65
00:04:08,819 --> 00:04:13,539
that it should not only occur
on a platform in a church.

66
00:04:13,539 --> 00:04:19,228
Discipleship also needs to happen
in everyday life.

67
00:04:19,228 --> 00:04:23,091
It is something we can live out, together,

68
00:04:23,091 --> 00:04:28,243
and although there are some things
you can teach from a platform in a church,

69
00:04:28,243 --> 00:04:35,739
there are many things you will never
be able to teach or show from that platform.

70
00:04:35,739 --> 00:04:41,516
In order to learn these practical applications
that can not be taught

71
00:04:41,516 --> 00:04:43,808
or shown from a platform in a church,

72
00:04:43,808 --> 00:04:52,011
you will need to leave the church and go out
into real life in order to learn it and live it out.

73
00:04:52,011 --> 00:04:58,876
Although the church can teach some things,
there is a difference between teaching it

74
00:04:58,876 --> 00:05:03,250
and actually showing how to live it out
in the real world."

75
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:09,318
What we need to understand is that
we can teach some thing

76
00:05:09,318 --> 00:05:14,130
from a platform, we can teach some thing
in the church,

77
00:05:14,580 --> 00:05:19,258
but when it comes to live it out
in the real life, to obey Jesus,

78
00:05:19,658 --> 00:05:23,115
we need to leave the church
and we need to be out there,

79
00:05:23,115 --> 00:05:25,885
and we need to do it.
We need to do it.

80
00:05:25,885 --> 00:05:31,661
And if you do it two and two,
it is often so much easier.

81
00:05:31,661 --> 00:05:34,826
Why? Because if you are two and two
you can help each other.

82
00:05:35,226 --> 00:05:39,514
Two and two, one take the pressure
away from the new person.

83
00:05:39,824 --> 00:05:45,295
It's like... We call it kickstart.
When we kickstart people.

84
00:05:45,295 --> 00:05:50,265
Some years ago I started to take people 
out on the street to kickstart them.

85
00:05:50,265 --> 00:05:53,127
I took somebody with me and said:
Come with me.

86
00:05:53,127 --> 00:05:55,797
I want to show you how to heal the sick.

87
00:05:55,797 --> 00:06:00,500
I want to teach you or show you
how to preach the gospel.

88
00:06:00,500 --> 00:06:04,086
And by taking people out on the street

89
00:06:04,086 --> 00:06:06,519
and showing them how to do it,

90
00:06:06,519 --> 00:06:10,194
in very, very short time
their lives were changed

91
00:06:10,194 --> 00:06:13,320
and they started to do it themselves.

92
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,322
This is something you can teach
out on the street.

93
00:06:16,322 --> 00:06:19,447
You can teach them two by two,
but you cannot...

94
00:06:19,447 --> 00:06:22,433
you cannot teach it just from the platform.

95
00:06:22,433 --> 00:06:27,883
I can stand on a platform and say to people:
Hey, Jesus said we should heal the sick.

96
00:06:27,883 --> 00:06:30,522
Jesus said we should preach the gospel.
Jesus said... And it's good

97
00:06:30,522 --> 00:06:33,406
and we need to do that, but...
It's not enough.

98
00:06:34,226 --> 00:06:37,219
You would end up with a lot of knowledge,
but no obedience.

99
00:06:37,219 --> 00:06:39,219
We need to leave the church.

100
00:06:39,219 --> 00:06:41,087
We need to come out of the church.

101
00:06:41,087 --> 00:06:44,656
Like Jesus did it and sent people out
two and two,

102
00:06:44,656 --> 00:06:47,265
so they can start to train each other.

103
00:06:47,265 --> 00:06:49,173
I want to read something from my book.

104
00:06:49,793 --> 00:06:56,663
"I have seen thousands of lives getting changed 
through being kickstarted and discipled.

105
00:06:57,293 --> 00:07:02,945
By taking someone out and spending 
only one hour with them,

106
00:07:02,945 --> 00:07:07,360
and by teaching and showing them
how to obey Jesus' commands

107
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:12,540
by the power of example, 
it has changed not only that person's life,

108
00:07:12,540 --> 00:07:16,122
but the lives of many other people
around them.

109
00:07:16,592 --> 00:07:23,136
This is because when someone is first
kickstarted and taught how to step out

110
00:07:23,136 --> 00:07:27,105
and share Jesus, or to heal somebody
in the name of Jesus,

111
00:07:27,105 --> 00:07:31,938
they learn to apply this into their 
everyday life

112
00:07:31,938 --> 00:07:35,034
and to live it out wherever they are.

113
00:07:35,034 --> 00:07:40,849
And this form of discipleship is something
we just started doing a few years ago,

114
00:07:40,849 --> 00:07:45,968
and we are now seeing hundreds of
thousands of people being healed,

115
00:07:45,968 --> 00:07:52,876
and ten thousands of people coming to faith
and being baptized as a result of this.

116
00:07:52,876 --> 00:08:00,149
It is so effective because it is not only about
learning how to share Jesus

117
00:08:00,149 --> 00:08:07,303
or healing the sick, it is about discipleship
and actually becoming like Christ.

118
00:08:07,303 --> 00:08:15,160
It is about teaching people, by the power
of example, how to live out this life together.

119
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:22,429
And this kind of discipleship is something
you do not experience if you do it alone,

120
00:08:22,429 --> 00:08:29,709
so this is why many people prefer also
to go out on the street with somebody else."

121
00:08:29,969 --> 00:08:33,346
I want to stop here and continue talking.

122
00:08:33,586 --> 00:08:41,035
Try to imagine if you have never before
gone out on the street.

123
00:08:41,035 --> 00:08:44,349
Try to imagine you have never shared
the gospel before.

124
00:08:44,349 --> 00:08:47,273
Try to imagine you have never prayed
for healing before.

125
00:08:47,273 --> 00:08:49,265
You have never baptized somebody 
in water.

126
00:08:49,265 --> 00:08:51,808
You have never cast out a demon.

127
00:08:51,808 --> 00:08:54,824
And maybe it's like that.

128
00:08:54,824 --> 00:08:58,733
And then you are told:
Go out and do it alone.

129
00:08:58,733 --> 00:09:00,416
It's just not easy.

130
00:09:00,416 --> 00:09:05,265
It is very, very difficult if you have never, 
never ever done it before.

131
00:09:05,265 --> 00:09:09,654
But then imagine, I will say to you:
Come with me.

132
00:09:09,654 --> 00:09:13,125
Come, come, come.
Stand beside me.

133
00:09:13,125 --> 00:09:17,107
I will help you.
I will show you how to do it.

134
00:09:17,357 --> 00:09:21,778
And we will walk out together and I would say: 
Stop, this is how you pray for somebody.

135
00:09:21,778 --> 00:09:25,350
Now put your hand there.
Okay, just pray like this.

136
00:09:25,350 --> 00:09:27,294
Or, this is how you share the gospel.

137
00:09:27,294 --> 00:09:30,259
Now I will show you how you baptize 
somebody.

138
00:09:30,259 --> 00:09:33,580
Sit down, take your hands and then,
die with Christ, up with Christ,

139
00:09:33,580 --> 00:09:35,482
in the name of Jesus.

140
00:09:35,482 --> 00:09:39,706
If I would be at your side,
or somebody else would be on your side,

141
00:09:39,706 --> 00:09:42,659
first thing, it will take all the pressure away,

142
00:09:42,659 --> 00:09:47,134
you would not feel the pressure anymore
because it's not on your shoulder alone.

143
00:09:47,134 --> 00:09:53,876
And if you do something wrong, you would know 
that person beside you would help you.

144
00:09:53,876 --> 00:09:59,627
And by being with somebody else,
in very, very, very short time

145
00:09:59,627 --> 00:10:04,431
you would learn to do all of this
without big pressure and burden,

146
00:10:04,431 --> 00:10:07,386
and then, when you have done it one time,
two times, three times, four times,

147
00:10:07,386 --> 00:10:09,568
you can do it alone.

148
00:10:09,568 --> 00:10:13,800
And now, not even you can do it alone,
you can even start to show other people

149
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,934
how to do the same - by you saying to them:
Come, come with me.

150
00:10:17,934 --> 00:10:19,560
I will show you how to do it.

151
00:10:19,560 --> 00:10:22,264
And this is what we need to do.

152
00:10:22,264 --> 00:10:25,804
And this is what has been lost
many places in churches.

153
00:10:26,014 --> 00:10:28,529
Many of you have been sitting in churches
for many years

154
00:10:28,529 --> 00:10:31,559
and no one has ever took you by the hand
and said: Come with me.

155
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:36,500
Let me show you. Let me teach you.
Let me disciple you how to do it.

156
00:10:36,500 --> 00:10:42,599
And if we start to do that again,
everything else Jesus is saying in Luke 10,

157
00:10:42,599 --> 00:10:46,631
I'm going to talk about, will come
so much easier. Why?

158
00:10:46,851 --> 00:10:53,069
Because you are not in it alone.
You have people to help you.

159
00:10:53,069 --> 00:10:56,849
And this is what Jesus has called us to do.

160
00:10:56,849 --> 00:11:02,170
Discipleship is not happening in the church,
on a platform.

161
00:11:02,170 --> 00:11:04,894
We can teach in a church, we can do things,

162
00:11:04,894 --> 00:11:06,724
but it's not there where it's happening.

163
00:11:06,724 --> 00:11:10,412
You need to step out of the church,
go out in the real life,

164
00:11:10,412 --> 00:11:13,919
and there live it together with somebody.

165
00:11:13,919 --> 00:11:18,583
Jesus said: Come and follow me and
I will make you fishers of men.

166
00:11:18,583 --> 00:11:21,925
He said: Come and follow me and
I will make you fishers of men.

167
00:11:21,925 --> 00:11:25,040
What did He do? Did He rent a church 
building and then said:

168
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:30,071
You who follow me, meet me every Sunday
at ten o'clock and I will teach you

169
00:11:30,071 --> 00:11:33,084
about fishing men.
No.

170
00:11:33,084 --> 00:11:36,694
Did He set up a seminary and met
two times a week? No.

171
00:11:36,694 --> 00:11:41,671
Did He stand behind the pulpit 
to teach them how to fish men? No.

172
00:11:41,671 --> 00:11:44,103
He showed them.

173
00:11:44,103 --> 00:11:47,442
He showed them how to fish men.

174
00:11:47,442 --> 00:11:53,211
He used the power of example,
discipleship, showed them how to do it.

175
00:11:53,211 --> 00:11:56,455
And when He then in Luke 10 sent them
out to do it,

176
00:11:57,385 --> 00:12:01,077
it was not so far from them. Why?
Because they already walked with Jesus

177
00:12:01,077 --> 00:12:04,828
and have already learned,
by walking with Jesus

178
00:12:04,828 --> 00:12:07,666
and seeing what it was all about.

179
00:12:07,666 --> 00:12:11,759
And this is what it should be,
how it should be.

180
00:12:11,759 --> 00:12:17,514
So, when we look at the call of Jesus
and what Jesus is saying in Luke 10

181
00:12:17,514 --> 00:12:19,407
and what He has called us all to do,

182
00:12:19,407 --> 00:12:25,085
in the beginning it can seems
impossible. You could think:

183
00:12:25,085 --> 00:12:27,039
I cannot do that.

184
00:12:27,039 --> 00:12:29,773
I cannot live the life Jesus has
called us to do.

185
00:12:29,773 --> 00:12:31,433
But you know, it's not impossible. 
Why?

186
00:12:31,863 --> 00:12:37,476
First, Jesus would never called us to do
something He would not give us power to do.

187
00:12:37,476 --> 00:12:41,718
So first, He has given you the Holy Spirit.

188
00:12:41,718 --> 00:12:43,259
I'm going to talk about the Holy Spirit
later.

189
00:12:43,259 --> 00:12:46,863
If you don't have the Holy Spirit,
then don't go out already now.

190
00:12:46,863 --> 00:12:48,896
Don't start all of that now.

191
00:12:48,896 --> 00:12:52,501
Go to www.TLRmap.com,
find somebody near you

192
00:12:52,501 --> 00:12:56,245
and let them pray for you
to receive the Holy Spirit.

193
00:12:56,245 --> 00:12:58,282
But not only He has given us 
the Holy Spirit,

194
00:12:58,282 --> 00:13:01,507
He has given us people
to go out with.

195
00:13:01,507 --> 00:13:03,821
He has given us the body,
the church,

196
00:13:03,821 --> 00:13:06,182
where we can live this life together.

197
00:13:06,182 --> 00:13:10,747
And also, on our map, www.TLRmap.com,
you can find people near you

198
00:13:10,747 --> 00:13:13,779
who are stronger than you are
and they can kickstart you,

199
00:13:13,779 --> 00:13:18,340
they can help you to take some of those
steps, and that is so important.

200
00:13:18,340 --> 00:13:21,153
And yes, it's not only about
going out on the street,

201
00:13:21,153 --> 00:13:24,580
but going out on the street
can be a good training in the beginning.

202
00:13:25,060 --> 00:13:29,412
But what we are going to look at later
is that much of what Jesus is saying

203
00:13:29,412 --> 00:13:32,657
actually is not out on the street.
It's in the homes.

204
00:13:32,657 --> 00:13:35,959
Going from place to place,
from home to home.

205
00:13:35,959 --> 00:13:40,230
And this is what we are going to talk 
much more about later.

206
00:13:40,230 --> 00:13:43,463
What then if you don't have
anyone to go with?

207
00:13:43,733 --> 00:13:47,285
I want to say: I didn't. 
I did not have anyone.

208
00:13:47,805 --> 00:13:52,505
I have never had anyone taking my hands
and practically show me what to do.

209
00:13:52,795 --> 00:13:56,413
So, it was difficult, 
but it was not the excuse.

210
00:13:56,413 --> 00:13:58,255
It was not the excuse.
Why?

211
00:13:58,255 --> 00:14:01,127
Because we still have the Holy Spirit
and God is still with us.

212
00:14:01,127 --> 00:14:05,643
And even I did not have anyone
to show me how to do those things,

213
00:14:05,643 --> 00:14:12,319
I still learned by just stepping out,
and then, now, I'm helping other people

214
00:14:12,319 --> 00:14:14,178
to do the same.

215
00:14:14,418 --> 00:14:18,356
In this chapter in my book 
I also come with many other examples

216
00:14:18,356 --> 00:14:23,189
of how it is important to be two and two.
One example.

217
00:14:24,029 --> 00:14:29,232
If you decide on Monday:
Hey, I want to go out on Wednesday.

218
00:14:29,232 --> 00:14:32,849
I really want to go out on Wednesday.
And you then call somebody, a friend,

219
00:14:32,849 --> 00:14:35,335
and say: Hey! Shall we go out
on Wednesday? And the friend says:

220
00:14:35,335 --> 00:14:40,802
Yes, let's do that. Let's go out on Wednesday.
And it seems like a really, really good idea

221
00:14:40,802 --> 00:14:43,239
on Monday that you want to go out
on Wednesday.

222
00:14:43,239 --> 00:14:47,526
But then you come to Tuesday 
and you get a little cold feet.

223
00:14:47,526 --> 00:14:50,384
And then you come to Wednesday 
morning and you are nervous,

224
00:14:50,384 --> 00:14:53,712
and suddenly it's not a good idea anymore.

225
00:14:53,712 --> 00:14:56,014
But what happens? You still go out. Why?

226
00:14:56,014 --> 00:14:59,037
Because you have made an appointment
with somebody

227
00:14:59,037 --> 00:15:01,629
and you are accountable to that person.

228
00:15:02,079 --> 00:15:10,932
If you are alone, there are so many, many
more excuses for why not to go out.

229
00:15:10,932 --> 00:15:15,429
And therefore I encourage you to try 
to find somebody near you,

230
00:15:15,429 --> 00:15:17,814
find somebody you can connect with

231
00:15:17,814 --> 00:15:20,757
and then together start to go out,

232
00:15:20,757 --> 00:15:24,682
and maybe even take this series,
see it together,

233
00:15:24,682 --> 00:15:28,549
maybe take the book and read the book
together with them,

234
00:15:28,549 --> 00:15:30,446
so you are two persons.

235
00:15:30,446 --> 00:15:32,935
Why? Then you can be accountable
to each other.

236
00:15:32,935 --> 00:15:36,682
And then, when I go deeper in the book and
talk about some of things He wants us to do,

237
00:15:36,682 --> 00:15:39,076
you will have a person you can say:
Let's do it.

238
00:15:39,076 --> 00:15:43,870
Yes. On Wednesday: Okay, let's do it.
And then you are doing it on Wednesday.

239
00:15:43,870 --> 00:15:46,676
Or you go out together and you help
each other.

240
00:15:46,676 --> 00:15:51,621
And that is also one of the strongest
things with being two.

241
00:15:51,621 --> 00:15:53,756
So, let's serve Jesus together.

242
00:15:53,756 --> 00:15:56,484
The harvest is ready, 
as we are going to look at.

243
00:15:56,484 --> 00:15:58,394
But the workers are few.

244
00:15:58,964 --> 00:16:02,485
The harvest is ready.
We need you out there.

245
00:16:02,485 --> 00:16:07,925
Let's pray that God will send you out.
Let's pray that God will put you together

246
00:16:07,925 --> 00:16:10,508
with somebody you can do it together with,

247
00:16:10,508 --> 00:16:12,293
and then share this video.

248
00:16:12,893 --> 00:16:17,838
I will go through it step by step, by step, 
by step, and giving you tools

249
00:16:17,838 --> 00:16:21,914
so you know exactly what to do
when you go out there

250
00:16:21,914 --> 00:16:25,555
two by two, or you go out there alone.

251
00:16:25,685 --> 00:16:28,091
Until next time, God bless you!
Bye-bye!

252
00:16:30,977 --> 00:16:32,473
