Hello 1/2. 1212. 1/2. 1/2, 1212212. I was a Christian and attending church and I believe that I love the Lord. But there was a day I went to church and the preacher spoke to me. He said, Jesus said, if you love me, give my word, my commands, listen to my voice. Jesus really needs to know how deep is the love is to love, hope is to love. He really needs to know that you're willing to surrender all, all of your life to His will and His command. That's the least that you can do. Greater love has no man than this, that a man should live his life for you. Do you really want to do his way? Not again. Create a love hassle man than this that a man lay down his life for you. Do you love the Lord like he loves you? Will you do His command? What will you get in return for His love? Will you yield and obey or just walk away? Jesus really needs to know how deep that you're love is love. Do you really need to know that you're willing to surrender all all of your life You is real and. Is the man that's the least that you can do? One day Jesus turned to Peter. And I want to know, do you really love me? Simon Peter turned to him and said, O my Lord, why do you ask, 'cause you know, dear Lord. How I love you. I will keep your comments. I will. Feed your sheep he's. Asking steal the sheep. Rounded in your life? I love your life to his feel and his the life. That's the least that you can do. To hear His voice in your heart today When? Your heart in your heart. Do the turn away. That's the. Only way the soul. How did this happen? The thing is for that he really needs to know that your wings is to let her roll. All of your life you miss Will and him the way that's the least that you can do, but not so love how things is. Oh, love. You mean you need to know that you're willing to stand around all of your life to his will. That is the man. That's the least that you can do that, that, that. All right, gospel disco singers right now, study to show yourself. Approve to God and not to men, isn't it? Now as you go along, you must try to impress God. Is God pleased with me? Does God like me? Is God happy with me? Remember the song we sang on Sunday? What if God is not happy? Yes. Who is that? Behind the Behind The behind the camera lady. But I own up, otherwise it would be worse. The brother in the sheds? Yes, yes. In front of her. The brother in front of her? No. There no. Behind the lady, but I yes, you see, he will not admit to he doesn't know what is your identifier name on your rank, your name on your rank. Hey. Rambo, Rambo, Rambo. OK #19 #20 study, study, study to show yourself approved unto God. Study. Now. Many of you don't study. Do you know why? I know, Number one, you don't have a Thompson Chain Bible. How many don't have a Thompson chain? But stand up. Stand up. Where's the machine gun? Look at her. She has pocket, but she has no, she has no Thompson chain fire. OK, look at all that. You have to. You need ammunition for all of them. You are in danger yourself. Oh, you are in danger yourself. You are out of ammunition. Is it the right thing to to be out of ammunition at a time like this? Hands up, how can you be out of ammunition? OK, those without Thompson Chain Bible, sit down. I know you don't do Bible study because you don't have a Thompson Chain Bible. I just need a symptom. It's like a Doctor Who is trying to get a diagnosis. I just need a small symptom. And I know. Yeah, you don't have a Thompson chain Bible and you don't know how to use it. You have never done Bible study before, true. Now how are you going to feed if you yourself don't have these words in you and you yourself cannot study? You see, that is where you will make people make fun of what we are teaching when we say that preach the same things because preach the same thing is to teach you how to become a good preacher. But it does not replace Bible study that you have to study yourself. It does not replace, it does not take away the need to do it. If I have done Bible study and I have prepared a sermon, you are supposed to know how to do Bible study. Prepare your own sermon. You are preaching the same thing so as to learn how to preach and to be able to enter quickly into a certain level of ministry, but not to retake away personal Bible study or personal reading. When you do that, you make people speak evil of something good. Yeah, because you can't do Bible study. They will be asking you. So your church, instead of your pastor to teach you how to do Bible studying and learn about God for yourself is rather teaching you to preach the same thing that He is preaching. So you realize that you have not understood what it is preaching. The same thing is to help you to enter into a preaching ministry. But the Bible study study to show yourself approved unto God, a Workman that needed not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth is to study the Bible. If you don't study the Bible, you are a twat. You are a fool. You are idiot, idiot, spiritual idiot. And I'm saying it strongly because This is why people insult us. They insult us because they feel that we are teaching you not to learn how to study the Bible. So I'm also saying it well, so that you also change after this meeting. First thing you need in this life is not meat pie, but it's a Thompson Chain Bible. Yeah, this is a private meeting. So I can tell you this thing. It's a private meeting. I am doing physics. You have not got Nelson and Packer and so you are doing physics. So I am using some fast questions. No, fast questions does not take away the need to have a physics textbook which you will use to study physics. It does not take away the need to have a physics textbook. You have misunderstood when we say do magic or learn the past questions and so on. Does not take away that you need to study and be deep. Then you are a fool. You are idiotic. Idiotic. Then you've not understood the magic or the past questions that we are teaching you to study. You've not understood it at all. You've not understood the ministry at all because there are a lot of people who are doing Bible study, but because they have not been taught to preach the same things, they never become preachers. They also they do study and they are deep and wide, but they can never become preachers because they don't know how to enter preaching ministry. That's why I'm teaching you how to enter what I'm doing. You can also do it, but it doesn't take away the need to because if you don't do Bible study, you will soon be like somebody who is like, the top is there, but under is nothing. Yeah. Do you understand? Like the Malcolm building, which collapsed. They've put glass and everything around it, but under is nothing. And one day it will all just disconnect and come down because you've got a lot of stuff outward looking, but inside is nothing. And I'm just using symptoms to show you that you don't do Bible study, you don't have Thompson chain Bible and you don't know how to use it. Thompson chain Bible physical. This is one, this is Thompson chain Bible. You have to know how to use a Thompson chain Bible. And I'm going to give you that test. I'll put a Thompson chain Bible in your hand. Araba, do you have a Thompson chain Bible? Help us so you do know how to use it. Who are those who stood up who didn't know Thompson chain Bible? Vivian, you didn't know you don't know. So then I put in your hand and I say let's do a Bible study on patients. You know, you know how to you are trying. You don't know. You see when I give you, I say let's do Bible study on, on the Holy Land or let's do a public study on the footprints of of Paul or the false journeys, Paul missionary journeys. You don't know how to find anything. This is one of the classic Bibles that is used for Bible study, Thompson chain Bible and you don't have one. I have so many Thompson chain Bibles. Now I have the electronic one and the electronic one. There is a way to use it. You have to know how to use the electronic one. When you get your iPads and chi pads and all those things, you understand you'll be using electronic. You cannot know much. You don't know how to use Tom Sinchin. You are not deep. I say you are not deep. I have no braces for you. You are not deep. Yeah. OK. What do you think? Yeah, the next reason why I know that you don't do Bible study because you don't have a Dick's Bible. How many don't have Dick's Bible stand up. You don't have a Dick's Bible stand up. If you know you you don't have a Dick's Bible and you are sitting down, it will be worse for you. It will be worse. Brother, where you are the one acting? Are you in the film? Stars? What? What is your name, huh? What do you say, John? John. John, you are acting. You've made yourself an old man in the film with a big stomach. And you are and you are, you are. You are laughing and you don't have a big stable. Oh God, oh God, oh God, say it. Oh, say it out. Oh God. Yeah, say, oh God, and you don't have a next Bible. No, no, no, no. Fire, Fire. What does he say? Oh God. OK, sit down. You see that I've caught you? How many guys see that I've caught you straight? No, you must have, you must have and you must learn how to. So I'm going to give you homework. Everybody gets 1 Dicks and Thompson and you said I will, I will put you here on the chair and then I will go through. So God will in the next camp we have is going to be Thompson 10 days. Yeah, we have Thompson 10 days and we are going to see that you know the Bible how to search for things because you are disgracing this great message of Paul when he told Timothy the things that thou has heard of me the same commit thou to faithful people are saying that we are shallow and we are just preaching your pastor's message instead of doing Bible study and learning the word of God yourself. Yeah, you see, because that was supposed to be something that you are doing after you have been doing Bible study yourself, are doing Bible, you are doing Bible study, but you are you are learning how to preach is a different thing. You see, to be a mother to somebody, it's different to be a wife to somebody. So you can be somebody's mother and you are a very good mother, but as a wife you are a very wicked wife. So you are doing well as a mother, but you are not doing well as a wife. So you may learn how to preach, you are doing well by learning how to preach, but you are not doing well by studying and knowing the Word of God in a deep way personally. So please, how deep is your life? That's the question that we are asking. How deep? How deep is the things that you are into? You can never feed well unless you know what I'm sharing with you. I'm sharing part I have, I have 7 dimensions of the beautiful job and I'm on dimension #1 there are 7 and under dimension number one, I have 50, actually 50 something points before I will go to the second third. So do you think we even finished? So I always share part of what I know I can. I don't share all that I know. I only share part of what I know. A good feeder must share only part, not because he doesn't want to share all. He knows so much more than what he's sharing. He's sharing something small. When I talk about psychiatry and mental health and all that, I'm talking about parts of what I know more than that. You know that I know more than that. Yeah. Do you understand? It's just a small part that you are hearing. I know far more than that. I must know more than that to be a doctor. So it's a study. It's a very important. That's why he told him with a challenge. Study. Study for yourself. Study or study. Study. How many are you going to study? No, no, no. You really have to study. You can't disgrace us. Can I have an Amen? Can I have a better Amen? You cannot disgrace us. I'm teaching you how to preach, but I'm teaching you to study. Are you ready to study? What's your name again? Ifya. Uncle Fran's daughter, isn't it? Yeah. Wow. Is it amazing? Is it supernatural? Is it fantastic? You see, I caught you. You didn't know how to. You don't study. How many? You realize that? You don't study? Yeah, you don't study. That's why I say that where the boys separate from the men in the ministry is this part. Think carefully about what you are saying people don't think about. So Bishop has given us 7 points. Number one, this, number two, this number three, this number four that one, you can use it, but it is only a section. Yeah. How many of you, if you have a heart heart attack or you are dying of a heart, they stay and they say, oh, you are going to do a heart operation. Then as you are closing your eyes and you are lying on the bed and they are bringing some big knives and you say who is the person coming to operate? And so this nest is coming to operate and and this dentist, the dentist is coming to operate on my heart. Will you be happy you will get her from and say hey Charlie, he doesn't know enough. And Ness says, oh, why is a cardiothoracic Ness? She has worked in the theatre for a long time. Will you still want her to operate on you? Because we all know that a nurse knows only a fraction of what the doctor knows Ness is. They learn Physiology. And is there any nurse here? Do you learn Physiology? Stand up. Do you learn Physiology? And these are the service we learned in medical school. Physiology. Yes, please. Anatomy. Yes, please. Biochemistry. No. Biochemistry. No. OK. Pharmacology. Yes. Pathology. No. No pathology at all. Microbiology. Yes. You know, that's under pathology. You have microbiology. Parasitology. No, you do. Malaria is parasite. Malaria is parasitology. You don't even know the name of the savage. You see. She knows it, but vaguely. And she is coming to operate on your heart. Will you be happy? Virology. Yes. Histopathology. Now you know. You know Histopathology. We do surgery. Histopathology is not surgery. Chemical pathology. Psychiatry, you do psychiatry, ophthalmology, you do some ophthalmology, orthopedics, surgery, obstetrics, gynecology, internal medicine, community health. You do everything but small. Not enough to operate, too dangerous to live here. I remember when I was working in the District and I saw they said, oh, this nest has been operating on people. Yeah, I tell you, when you come say a nurse is carried to operate on you. So some nurse or male nurse, So he's been around for a long time. So he just. I mean, that's whatever. Yeah. What's the problem? You got a problem? Air conditioner. That's tired, man. It's asking for a break. Wow. So brothers and sisters, God wants us to be fired because you are like spiritual nurses who are going to. Yeah, that's what is happening. You have become like spiritual nurses who are going to operate on people as nurses. Because when you say, you say you've done Physiology or you've done anatomy. Come, let's talk about Apaline anatomy. What do you do about the apaline? Let's go through the systems. What masses? What masses do we have? Describe the masses we have in the Appalem. Tell me. Tell me the you say you are a nurse. I am a doctor. I was in medical school 31 years ago. So let's you, you are a nurse. Let's go to the Appalem Muscles. What are the bones in the Appalem? This is the person who is going to operate on you. Vivian, you said you are a nurse. You are not a nurse. Are you a nurse or you are no more a nurse? You have denied your nursing. Come, let's go through Aparlim. What are what are the bones and then the give her the muscles. OK. With the accolades, I'm starting from the phalanges, no? No, start from here. The the the proximal part, the proximal. Then you go this time quick, quick, quick, quick. OK, she's coming to operate on you. Doesn't know much. How many would like her to operate on? You see, and that is what some people are saying. How many would like this person to be our pastor? And they are also saying not at all. How many would like you to be that person? Not at all. Their studies are not deep. Did you do? Did you do anatomy? No. Say yes with loudness. Did you do anatomy? Yes. Hello. Volume. You are you are in danger. Give us volume, please. Hello. You see the anatomy, Physiology. You can tell us from Physiology. Should we go into Physiology, Cardiovascular Physiology, neurophysiology. You don't want to go to all those physiologies. No problem. Did you do pathology? What type of pathology did you do? Physiopathology. We didn't really. You are shaking. Hold it. Well, you see this a nurse you got to operate on you. You want this girl to operate on you appendix. You want her to operate on you. She will leave the knife inside and close up before you realize she's cut off something. One guy went to the dentist and he said that this the tooth has been paining. So they injected and they took this pliers, big pliers and they pulled and pulled and pulled and pulled and they pulled out the tooth. So when a guy went from God, he couldn't feel. So when he went from vent, he was, he said, ah, it's another tooth that the guy has removed. He has left the one and removed a good one and has removed another tooth. Would you like such a dentist to be your dentist? Come here, she said she has studied all these subjects. Should I leave her? What are the other subjects you say you have studied? Huh. Psychiatry. What are the What are the symptoms of depression? Depression and mood change. Pardon. Mood change. Yeah, give us the cardinal, cardinal features of depression, you know, bipolar disease. Two what? The person to actuate from depression and mania. That's happiness, excitement. How many realize that a nurse is different from a doctor? Wow, you people. I use spiritual nurses, pastoral nurses, nursing pastors, pastor nurses, nurse pastors, so to go. That's what we have been bringing forth. They are bringing for nurse, nurse like pastors who are not like doctors. No, much, much more deeper into things. Did you do dermatology? You did dermatology. What, what, what, what conditions do you know about? Let's go through some dermatology. Dermatitis, which are basically skin infections and nursing interventions, what you have to do as a nurse when a when a patient is having skin infection. So maybe the patient keeping his fingers short and applying the medication wearing light clothes, cutting so that heat bathing also bathing with like camel detour basically nursing intervention, but we. Don't really go how to imagine bat a lot and all these things. Oh, you see spiritual nurses. Are you a spiritual nurse? It's like, you know, a lot of big words, but not deep because all the big words which doctors learn, they learn obviously every question I have. Do you like this? Yes, yes, but very just at the top, they just mention it. It's like, oh, these people, they cannot go deep. So I mean, just mention the name Physiology and then finish. How deep? How deep, Not very deep. Oh, is that how you are too? No Dicks Bible, no Thompson Chain, no personnel on your own Bible study for your own revelations. What you are thinking about, even what has been preached in a deeper way. Nothing. It's just bishops preaching. You have fed yourself on Poemanu or Makanare, but you are not going deeper. You are making them insult us. Yeah, you are making the best way for somebody to because me, I have not been to any Bible school, but through listening to preaching, I became a preacher. OK, so Stannis, you have proof to us that NS is not a doctor. So never go on strike expecting to get the pill of a doctor. Say thank you. Wow. Is it fantastic? Is it completely amazing? OK, you see their points are so many. We have to end somewhere. We have a coffee break outside, isn't it? Or is it a coffee end? 21 Rightly divide the word of God. Rightly divide the word of God 21 Amen. Is it 12:00 or 1:00? Oh, just 12, just 12. All right, so brothers and sisters are going to take a break, a coffee break because there's a break outside after the coffee break. We are, we will be ending, but come back and then one or two points and then we are on our way home. All right, so your coffee break is not going more than 5 to 10 minutes, so 7 minutes average. And your what? Hardness. So please have the clock. Otherwise we've wasted it. And you snap for sleeping. Then you go and sleep and come. All right, tell your neighbor. I feel sad that I'm a spiritual nurse. How many realise that? That's a very sad point, isn't it? It's a sad and depressing point that is affecting us.
