Witness Cards instruction video (long version)

Hey everyone out there!
I've done this video here

for you who want to have
the Witness Cards

or who have just got
the Witness Cards.

I want to show you
how you can use it.

The gospel is the same,
as we often do in the other videos,

where we just use the cups
and something else to illustrate the gospel.

But now we have these cards.

First, I want to say thank you
to a guy called David from Canada,

because he has seen me share
the gospel with cups and cookies,

he got inspired by that,
and he did some cards.

And because of these cards he did,
I got inspired by that to think:

Hey, can we do it even more
and illustrate even more?

So, I took his cards and then
I added five, six cards to it,

and changed a little,
to make what we have now.

This is "Witness Cards".

It's just normal cards
with a lot of pictures on.

When you open the pack
you have three cards in the beginning,

that are without numbers on.
These are the first three cards.

The next cards you have
there is a little number in the corner,

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, up to 13.

What is good with little numbers
there

is when you mix it all together
it's easy to put it in the right order,

so you know exactly where to start.
So it makes it much easier.

The first three cards is to have
so you can show a little that

there is an online "Pioneer School",
there is TLR map,

there you can find people near
you and how it works,

and we have the three movies.

So on the first three cards are little
commercials you can use, if you want.

You can also put the cards on the other way.
Then we have the chess game.

And the next three cards we have here
is also the chess game,

just the other color of the chess game.

What is important with the chess game
is that we want to illustrate for people

that God has done everything
He needed to do

and now it's up to man to repent.

I met many people who were waiting
for God to come and do something,

but God has already paid the price.
He paid His Son.

Now it's them need to move.

So, I often use it like this.

It's like playing chess.

You move, I move.

You move, I move.

You move, I move.

But, am I allowed to suddenly
do this and move three times?

No, I'm not.

Why? Because there are rules,
and I need to keep the rules.

The same way is with man,
that man has sinned,

and that was a bad move.

God then sent His Son Jesus
to die for man's sin.

Whose turn is it now?

It's your turn. It's that person's
who sits opposite you.

It's that person's turn to move
right now.

God says: Move, move, move!
He is ready to forgive people.

He is ready to save.
He is not keeping back.

He has already paid the price -
His Son Jesus Christ.

He is ready to move.

But it's up to us to move.

As soon as man moves,

then God will move.

But how can men move if they
don't know it's their turn to move?

How can man move if he doesn't know
the rules and what to do?

And this is what we want to do
with these cards.

We want to show people
what they need to do,

so God is doing what
He wants to do.

So we show people how they
need to repent, so God can forgive them,

how they need to get baptized,
so God can wash them clean,

how they need the Holy Spirit
so we can lay hands on them, and all of that.

So, this is the idea with the chess game.

And I would say with these cards,
when you have it, just practice,

sit and practice how to use it.

So, the chess game. If we turn around,
on the other side we have

the card illustrating God,
and then we have the tree of life

and the tree of knowledge good and evil.

The reason we made the tree of knowledge
good and evil so good to look at it,

it's because it was good to look at.
It was deceiving Adam and Eve,

bcause it was good to look at.

And then, in the garden, God put man.
Card number 1.

Man was supposed to eat of the tree of life
and live forever,

but the story was that he took
of a wrong tree,

and when they did that - sin came in.
They changed.

The difference here is light,
fellowship with God -

darkness, a stony heart.

So, the way I often illustrate it
is to say,

in the beginning, in the garden,
man walked with God,

man had fellowship with God
and everything was good,

and they should eat of the tree of life
and live forever.

But instead they took of the tree
of knowledge good and evil

and everything changed.

God now said:
If men eat of the tree of life now,

they will live forever and then
we will always have a problem with sin.

And because God, because of people's sins,
doesn't want people to live forever,

He threw them out of the garden

and He sat angels to keep them
away from the garden

and away from the tree of life.

So, now we have a world that is
very different from the world God created,

a world where people were not
without sin, with the soft heart,

walking with God, but where people have
stony heart, in sin, divided from God.

Then we have four more cards like this,
where we can say:

men then got kids who killed each other,
who got kids who rebelled,

and rebellious happened.
And sin came into the world.

I often use to illustrate
a picture of Noah,

that God then found Noah and
destroyed the rest,

but as soon as Noah came
out of the boat,

we have problem one more time.

It depends on how much time
you have,

if you will go into the depth with that.

Sometimes I do it.
Sometimes I don't do it.

It depends on how much time I have.

But what I often do is,
when we talk about sin,

the problem with sin is that
we are all now in a fallen world

and people compare themselves
to each other,

instead of, we have this one,
one card,

instead of how it was before
sin came in.

So we compare ourselves
with each other

and we become like the blind
leading the blind.

And there take the good time
to talk about sin.

You can go to Matthew.
You can talk about that Jesus said:

If you have hate in your heart,
you are a murderer.

If you look with lust on somebody, you've
already committed adultery in your heart.

We have all fall short
of the glory of God.

Every man have sinned, and how
the conscience has been destroyed.

Because of sin.

And I can use an example first,
when I was younger

I stole a bicycle, I felt bad,
next time I stole a bicycle

I felt less bad, and next time
I felt even less.

Why? Because my heart
became harder, and harder and harder.

So, take a lot of time to talk about sin
and how sin is the problem.

Sin is dividing us from God.

And I have other videos like
"Reiki Master Meets Jesus",

where you can see how I share the gospel
just with cups and cookies,

but I talk about sin and what sin is.

So, take time to talk about sin
to get people to understand the problem.

What is the solution then?

That is the next card.
That is Jesus Christ.

So, there we talk about that God
could destroy all mankind

and still be good, still be loving,
still be righteous,

but He did something instead.

He sent His Son Jesus to die
for our sins.

And now Jesus came down here

and then illustrate how
He walked around here,

but where we have sinned,
He did not sin.

When He was around 30 years old
He got baptized.

And we have a card here
which illustrate the baptism,

where we put like water here.

And then we say that Jesus came down
in the water and He came up again.

And then the Holy Spirit came over Him.

And there we can use like,
the Holy Spirit came over Him as a dove,

and when we turn the card around,
you can see here...

that when you turn the card around,
on the other side there is a dove,

that symbolizes the Holy Spirit.

From that moment on,
Jesus was walking around here,

and then you can tell about
how He walked around,

healing the sick and casting out demons,

how He was proclaiming
the gospel of the Kingdom,

how He was telling people that they should
repent, turn away from their sins,

how they need to be born again
out of water and Spirit.

So use that to illustrate the gospel.

Jesus then, as the only one without sin,
died on the cross and He got buried.

He went down.
And then we have next card.

He went down,
and then you take the next card instead.

He went down
and then He rose up again.

If He had sinned like you and me,
and done what we have done,

He would have been in sin,
but He was the only one without sin,

He rose up again.

And there we have,
still with the Holy Spirit,

but the crown of thorns on Him,

to illustrate that Jesus was the slain one,
He died on the cross and He rose up again.

And there He went to heaven, as King,

and He sent His Holy Spirit down here.

What do we now need to do?

We are divided from God
because of our sins.

Jesus died on the cross to forgive us.
So now we need to repent,

turn away from our sins toward God,
put our faith in Christ.

Repentance is to turn around.

Here now you have a stony heart,
you turn around...

And when you turn around,
the thing that happens first

is that you get the new heart.

You get the heart of flesh.

The conscience becomes new.

People who have turned around
stop lying, they stop stealing,

they stop blaspheming God.

The first thing that often changes in people
are words that comes out of their mouth.

Oh, why do I speak so bad?

The conscience is now alive.
The conscience has been destroyed.

And the heart that's been stony
becomes new.

So, something new has started,
but it's not enough.

Because the body is dead.

What do you do with the dirty body?

You need to wash it clean.

And that is where the baptism
in water comes in.

And then tell about the baptism
in water,

that is not just a symbol,
it's not just cleaning of the outward dirt,

but it's a good conscience
toward God,

that the water now washes us clean,
save us from our sins, and Romans 6.

Take good time to explain what
baptism in water is.

That is not just a symbol,
what the Bible says about baptism.

You have the cards in your hand.
Then you take this card down,

so you are baptized with Christ,
you go down,

and then you take the new card up,

so you die with Christ
and then you rise up with Christ.

So now, you have not only got a new heart.
Now you are also washed clean,

so you are not dirty anymore.
You are clean, like Adam and Eve

were clean before sin came
and changed everything.

So, talk about that.
But that is not enough.

Like Jesus needed
to receive the Holy Spirit,

you and me all need
to receive the Holy Spirit.

And then we illustrate it,
like the Holy Spirit came over Jesus,

the Holy Spirit came over us,
and then we turn this card around.

On the other side we now see
a man with the new heart,

but here we see a man with power

and the Holy Spirit symbolized
as a dove over him.

So now, as Jesus was sent here on earth,
now we are sent here on earth.

So, now it's us who are walking here
as a new creation,

repented, born again out of water
and the Holy Spirit,

walking around here,
preaching the gospel and healing the sick.

Other people hear the same message,
repent toward God, get a new heart,

get baptized to Jesus, rise up again,
and receive the Holy Spirit.

And like that, the Kingdom of God
is growing.

Then say, very soon God is going
to come back and judge the world.

Or Jesus is going to come
and judge the world.

He's going to divide the sheep
from the goats.

And there, in the New Jerusalem,
you read about that in the last

Book of Revelation,
God is going to come down,

and in the middle of the garden,
we will have the tree of life,

and we will be able to take out
of the tree of life,

those who have washed them clean
is going to take out of the tree of life

and live forever, and one more time
everything is going to be so good,

so perfect, as it was in the beginning.

So this is somehow really good cards
to illustrate the gospel.

And what I love with these cards is
what you can do then.

What you can then do is you can
take those cards we have here,

and then put all those four cards up,
beside each other, like this,

and then ask people:
where are you in your life right now?

Are you still here
where you still have a stony heart,

you live in sin,
you have never seen your sin,

you have never turned away
from your sin,

you have never repented?
Are you here?

Then you need to repent.
That is the first step you need to do.

You need to turn away from your sin,
put your faith in Jesus and get a new heart.

But maybe those people you have talked to
are here,

that you actually have repented,
you have come to faith in Christ,

but you have never washed away
your sins.

You have started the walk,
but you are still in your sins,

because it's not washed away yet.

You need to get baptized.

And we meet many of those people
who were baptized as babies

and later repented,
but baby baptism is not a baptism.

You have to have a repented heart
before you can get baptized.

So, maybe you are there,
or maybe you are there.

If you are there and have repented,
that is beautiful.

You have your faith in Christ.
That is beautiful.

But Jesus said: the one who believes
and is baptized shall be saved.

So, you also need to get baptized,
to get saved from your sins

in that way that you can
walk a new life with Christ.

So you need to get baptized in water.

That is good. That is beautiful,
but that is also not enough.

Jesus said that is the best for you
that I go away,

because if I don't go away,
I could not send my Holy Spirit down here.

And Jesus went away
and sent His Holy Spirit down here.

And maybe explain with Acts 8,
with Philip in Samaria,

that you can repent, you can get baptized
without receiving the Holy Spirit.

So you also need to receive the Holy Spirit
and walk as a disciple of Christ.

These are, somehow, four stages
that people are on.

They are in the sin, without Christ,
without hope in this world right now,

with the stony heart.

They have repented, beautiful,
but they are still walking around

with the old life, they were not baptized.

Or they are baptized in water, beautiful,
but they have not received the Holy Spirit.

Or they have received the Holy Spirit
and walk as a disciple

and continue growing in Christ.

And then ask people:
where are you of one of those four people?

Are you there, there, there or there?

And if they would say: I think I'm there.
Okay. Your next move is to do this.

Or if they say: I'm there.
Your next move is to do this.

If they say: I'm there.
Your next move is to do this.

And then, by that, illustrate them
what they need to do.

So, this is a very, very strong tool
to illustrate the gospel.

I encourage you to get the cards.

You can get it on our website.

You can also download them,
if you want, for free, print it out, and so on.

Of course, it costs some money
to make cards like this,

but we will try to keep the price down.

You can get one set, but if you get five sets
and ten sets, it's even cheaper.

And then get the cards,
use it to illustrate it,

or download it and print your own cards,
if you want,

but it's really good to have,
when you are out, talking with people,

you will not use them out on the street
like that,

but if you sit in a coffee shop,
if you sit in McDonald's,

if you go to a home,
have the cards with you,

take them up and illustrate.

And practice with them.

And then, when you start now,
you're like, okay,

now I have to start all over,
then there is the numbers,

number 1, number 2, number 3,
and then you can see,

what is number 4 of those,
this is number 4 here,

so 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
And then you have the set again.

You put it in an you are ready
to use them next time.

So, we are so excited and I believe

many, many lives are going to get changed
through those cards.

Not because there is something special
with the cards,

but because you, hopefully,
will use those cards to illustrate,

to share the gospel to people
around you.

If the gospel is not being preached,
those cards will change nothing.

But if we use the cards to preach the gospel,
to illustrate what Jesus did on the cross,

many people need to see it,
they need to see more

than just to hear it, and those cards
here are really amazing tools.

So God bless you!
Use the cards. Practice with it.

If you want to know more about
how to share the gospel,

we have other videos also,
we can link to,

where you can see how you can go
even deeper in the gospel.

God bless you!
Bye-bye!
