Welcome to track #18 of Why are you not a missionary? Amen. So holiness is more than I. I've not I've not had sexual feelings or when you have sexual feelings, then it means you are you have sexual feeling. You are just like Elijah. I'm a man of light passion. You don't have sexual feeling, rather you are sick. You don't have sexual feeling, you are feeling sick Actually if are you feeling well, if you are feeling well, you have to have those feelings, yes. So a man with such sexual feelings can have what can have what 1 branch? Hey, are you surprised that God is using somebody like you, someone like me, someone like me, Someone Like You, a man and woman of like passions. If you are a lady and you feel like getting married. If you are a lady and you feel like getting married, you want a man to love you. You want a man to save my honey. You want a man to say you are special, to be my baby? Wow. It's not abnormal. It means you're feeling well. It means what? You're feeling well. I'm feeling well. You're lovely. It's normal. You see, the brothers, they have a desire for sex. The sisters, they have a desire for love. And then somebody to hold me close. Let your love survive. That is what the sisters are feeling all the time. I want somebody to draw me. This song, this song, this song, I tell you, I'm sure it was composed by a woman, wasn't composed by a woman. You see, I told you it is a woman who can write such a song because she's describing something that she's looking for. You see, that's why God He uses as we are. If you are not a woman, you cannot compose this song. Why? Why should I? I'm feeling hot. Why did I draw you close? I'll be close to go. I'm feeling hot. The weather is hot. I should draw you close. Let let. Let your lobster. I see. It was originally let Let your arms. So that's why sisters love to be hugged. If you hug them now, that's it. Oh, Charlie, they're OK. Yeah, it is in the song. Is it true or it's not true? Our brothers, we are not interested in hearts. We want the real thing. The real thing. The real thing is the heart. What is the heart? What is? What is the heart? What are you going to do with the heart? What are you going to do with the waste of energy, waste of time? Get to the job. Drop me to your side. Oh, what are you going to do by my side? So. So are you listening to me? So you realize that all those feelings, they are in a normal person, they are in a normal person. At least we are feeling well. We are not feeling sick, feeling well. But in spite of all these normal things, God can use you only based on one thing that you have faith, you believe. So you see, a person is going. Look, excuse me. You see, the person is moving on. She feels like I wish somebody would hold me. I wish somebody would draw me clothes. But she's still believing in God. She's going. Nobody's nobody's holding me. I'm going. Nobody's holding me. Nobody's driving me cold. I'm still going to serve. Well, I'm not going to serve. Maybe nobody's holding me. I'm going to stop going. Nobody's holding me. Nobody's calling me. Nobody's bringing me to the side. I'm still going to serve a lot. And why did she move? Because she was. Because she was bereft of such feelings. No, she had the feelings. She had the feelings. All those people were pulling her down. And she had faith. She had faith. She rehab, you see, rehab experience, experience. But she had faith when she saw the spice. I believe. I believe that from God. Would you like to sleep with me this evening? I can sleep with all three of us. I can satisfy all of you tonight and I believe in you too. I'll do my work and I believe in you. Shabalaba. And her name was added to Abraham and all this Abraham, Abraham, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and all this Jesus Christ. So you see a brother, the brother will be feelings that oh Lord, I rebuke it in Jesus name. Oh my God, the dreams I had yesterday, the feeling that I'm having, oh Lord, when I see them on toss, something is doing to me. Jesus, Jesus bless me, Lord, bless me Lord, I see ice, but still you are moving. You are moving 1 branch even instead of the feeling. 1 branch, 2 branches, 3 branches, 4 branches, 5 branches. Yeah. And the thing that is pleasing God? Yeah, look at them. Hey, look, the thing that is pleasing God, it's not the absence of all those. So it's not that you see, pastors, they are sitting with their beautiful wives, but they have seen another sister, and they are asking to whom? To to whom? For to whom doesn't belong to, to whom? To to whom? Doesn't belong to, to whom? To to whom? To whom? That's it. Hey, you are not thinking of your own that is sitting by you. You are sitting up on those that is working outside, and you are asking to whom? To to whom? For to whom does it belong? To, to whom? To to whom? To whom? That's it. You are joking. Concentrate on your Bible. You are just about to preach. Don't you know you are a man of God? Have you forgotten that you are imposter? Look at the question that you are asking. To whom? To, to whom? To whom doesn't belong to, to whom? To, to whom? To, to whom doesn't belong to? To whom to, to? You are forgotten that you are a man of God. You are forgotten that you are youth pastor. You are youth pastor. And you see, in spite of the feelings, you want somebody to hold, isn't it? But in spite of that, God is using you. One branch, 1-3 branches. We think we are joking. 5 branches, 6 branches. 7 branches. 8 branches. 9 branches, 10 branches. Hey, because of fine protocol there are certain things I will not say this evening. That is how it is. You will be struggling, but you have faith. So sometimes you look at the why does God bless this person and the person believes in him? That's why I never write up so much because the person has committed the sin of the flesh. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Not that you should go and commit it. You should never committed. I need the person of it. Oh, it's a it's a feeling something came. I said something came and I was fighting it. It's a biloba and he couldn't go and I fell down, but the Bible said righteous man for less seven time and rises again. This is why God is going to use you not because you are good without faith you can never make God happy. You're righteous feeling and not have you wondered this woman, Amy Semple McPherson, founder of four Square ghost Poachers. Oh, she married then her husband died instead of thinking of her husband till she dies, the original she said my husband Roberts. Oh, Roberts, he taught me everything. He held my Bible by me. He taught me everything. Roberts his name was Robert Semple. He taught me everything. But just now she was looking. Lord, which of their brothers is there any brother? Is there anybody who can hold me, Lord? And then she couldn't help herself. And then she went and married and somebody. And that guy was not interested in the ministry. And so she divorced him. And then she was a celebrity like Princess Diana. Then at the peak of her life, she was, she was, she was. She wanted. She wanted somebody. Somebody. I was saw a girl. I was very late. So Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, she was just a normal person, but she has faith. She has faith for miracles, faith in God. She believed in Jesus, but she was normal. And you see, that's why I'm saying that those normal things should never let you stay away from obeying God. So what is going to make you please God? It's not the absence of those things. Those things, you have to fight them and control them. But I tell you, look at Katharine Kuhlman, miracle worker, When she saw somebody's husband, Katherine Kumar, one day, she entered the hotel and she saw she entered the bedroom and she saw a mirror on top of the bed like that. And she was with some people. She just looked at her and she laughed. So I know what all these are for. I know what all these are for. She's not a small, small person. Somebody's husband. Yeah. Somebody was married with two children because she wanted somebody. Draw me, draw me close, Hold me close. I need your legs around the round and bring me to your side. Walking by yourself. I want to sit by you in church. The woman had two children. Oh, she took the man's husband. She stayed with him for six years. And one day she said, no, I can't, I can't do this anymore. I have to obey God. She left him. She walked away. She called him Sir. Say, Sir, I will never when I when I get on this train, I will never see you again. Yeah. One day she was in the office and she received a letter, happy birthday or happy Valentine's Day or something. And she opened herself from Sir. And the man Jimmy Beckham, who wrote the book, said that some a cloud entered the room. She said, she said you don't know what it has cost me, what it means for me to be here, this miracle minister, all these things. I don't know what I've been through and she have faith not as she was. I mean this excellent to this A1 type of yeah, telling you perfect of everything. Everything is good. Everything is like they take pictures nice. She's just ordinary. She had faith. God use her. Are you there? Are you still around? Hey, it's fantastical. So brother, have faith. But the more faith you have, the more you please. God got to be happy female don't want. Have you read this book? When the Lord walked the earth, when Jesus was being tempted, he said something. I've come to appreciate these things that human beings struggle over. When he was feeling hungry, He himself saw that I spoke to a small thing to be a human being. So say a small thing to be a human. How many? I feel like that's not a small thing. When somebody is when a baby is born, the first thing they do is to cry. Because the world that we are coming from, what type of place is this? What trouble is this that I have come with you, so I just want you to believe when I watch myself on that is Amicar. I'm surprised. I don't know what is going through my head the first day that I mounted the stage for the Healing Jesus Crusade. I wish they have a video of that. If you get it, you see that I, I when I stood there, I just laughed myself. I said because I'm determined that I will do it. If I die doing that, I'll do it. I will stand there, I'll preach, I will pray for them, but that somebody is you. Somebody is not you. Whatever I will do it because he has told me to do. I will do it. That's all. But let's take faith, be blessed in Jesus name. Yeah, Ballistic, I said I'll do it. I'll do it suddenly and surprisingly and be greater power and greater force. Shandola, it's working for you. To how many realize that you are normal? They are normal. Let's have faith. Fear with fear. It's normal to be afraid. I tell you the things that I'm afraid of. You'll be surprised. I'm also afraid of a lot of change. When you see me, what? I make my face as if I'm not afraid. No, I'm afraid and I'm moving. Move toward the thing you are afraid of. If you become small before you sit down, sit down, sit down. Yeah, she said. I know what it is for the mirror over the bench. I know what it is for the cool man of miracles. #5 Faith is important because it is only by faith that you can have a good report. It is only by faith that you can have a word, a good report. Wow. Faith is the substance of things, hoped for evidence or nothing but by it. The elders obtained a good report. The elders obtained a good report. Don't have a good report at the end, Charlie, the marking scheme has been set. The markings. We have been told what gives Max. We have been told what gives Max. It was only when they answered the faith questions that they got high marks. I tell you, when Rick Joyner went to heaven, he saw one of these men of God who had had a whole lot of problems on it and had died apparently in, in a disgrace or problem or whatever. And he said, the Lord pointed him to me. Is he? And he saw the guy glow his throat and he didn't allow him to speak to him. He said, I just wanted you to see where he is. Yeah, I tell you, one day I read this, the life story of a A Allen, a man who preached with such miracles and such strength when he died, see, he was a man, an ordinary man. He started having bone pain in his. He couldn't walk. They had to go to the hospital. He didn't want. They don't those. They didn't bleed in hospitals. The man of faith. You are good. Then when he went to the he went to his hotel. He was supposed to be going for a surgery. He went to the hotel. His assistant called him when he went to the hotel. He couldn't. I would not answer him. When he entered the room, the man was lying there dead with whiskey beetles all over. He had drunk himself to death, he said. He said I was the one who entered them and I took all the bottles and packed them away and threw them away so that nobody will see. So the man suffered and it's like he was so tormented and he just, I mean, he's a human being. He described how this man night after night, he'll be holding crippled babies, these type of people, crippled for them, screaming through of the night, each one praying for them, praying for them, pray for them. Man of faith, that's a normal person and he was so depressed that it's like all his faith and his whatever, it's like it has turned against him. He cannot even behealed himself. Oh, I've never best out crying. So I read that book. When I read it, it's not in the normal God's general section. Was the man himself wrote a book? Yeah, it's not in those books. You wouldn't see it. When I read it for the first, I was like tears came. I just started crying ballistic tears because you know why because I sense and I I I felt united in his human. I mean, his human struggle, yes, because he was in pain, couldn't walk, being his cabin, come out and tell people miracle, this, this, this. Oh, and in those days I had to go to hospital. She's like, it's like, it's like they are falling. But now you can can even walk. And when he was a child, his mother and father used to sell alcohol and they made soup with alcohol. They boil it and they point, they give their children to drink that everybody's drunk, their babies, everybody's drunk in the house. That was how he grew up before you have have you been given soup with alcohol? Soup and alcohol. It's like as a child you grow up good light soup with alcohol. Are you, you, you, you don't. What you don't know is that every man of faith is also a human being, is also struggling. Struggling. But it is his faith that's carrying his faith that is giving him the good reports. Yeah, his faith that is giving him that is. That is what attracted me to Robert Lardon when I I watched one day as he gave the story of Amy Sam Sample MacPherson and when he said all the good things about her and he said, Amy, we honor you. We honor you for what you did for us in the body of the how do you set the example? How you did, how you fought we all night. I was so touching my eyes. I said, oh, this man has honored, I mean has honored courts, people of faith cause general. Oh, I was so touched by it. I immediately call myself. I said, find Robert Sladden in the world and invite him. That's how can I I was watching that thing. I keep watching, different times I watch, but I'm so touched when you see somebody who can see beyond the human shock us and see that this person has faith. Yeah, I tell you, only by faith you can have a good report. Number six, It's only by faith that you can do the works of God. John chapter 6, verse 28, you can do the works of God through faith. Then said they unto me, what shall we do, that we might work the works of God? And Jesus answered and said unto him, This is the work of God, that you believe on him, that you do what you believe. Yeah, you see it is a fast. Oh, it is a prey. Oh, it is a read your Bible. It is a read. Listen to Mccalla, he said, believe, believe. So when I read up for years I have read this verse and I was Isaiah. How can you do the work of God? Believe. I feel that doesn't make sense. How do you do the work of God? Just believe. But I realized that everything hinges on what you believe. What you believe shows us in what you do. When you do the thing. It's an evidence of the fact that you believe. All people who are working for God have believed something. Yes, they believe something. Yeah, they believe something. I mean, God, Jesus has summarized the work of God in John chapter 6, verse 28. He said this is the work of God that you believe on him whom he has sent. That is the work of God. That's all. So as I'm preaching, I'm trying to get you to believe so that you become you can become a missionary. You can become a missile, a devotee, a rocket, a ducks, a projector, a bullet, a fan, an admirer, a propagandist, an envoy, an iron boy, a converter. Shaloba Zaba Shandola Esba anore. Talk to your neighbor, Say neighbor. Shandalaba Subala Kabaya Behala. How can you do the work? How can I speak in town? How can I speak? I have to have faith. I need faith so that I don't think that I'm mad, but I'm doing something that it is speaking to God. How be it in the Spirit is speaking? I do the IT. Do the IT. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sit down if you don't have faith. If you don't have faith, if you are an idiot, ejoty ejoty, ejoty ejoty ejoty. Dirty don't have faith. You are you dirty money go up with this. We go and we spend $150,000 impeachable. After five days, the money has gone up in smoke. If I don't have faith, why $150,000? You know what I can buy with $150,000? If you don't have faith, you cannot do the work of God. You know what I can do with 150 thousand U.S. dollars going up and down to villages and so on. And when I finish, that's it. It's not as if there's a church left behind or there's AIM. There's nothing just just penny the people. I believe that do I receive Jesus as my savior. I believe today that I'm born again from today's set and I will not follow you. I'll follow Jesus Christ in Jesus the Amen. OK bye bye $150,000 pH gone into the air. I must be a believer or I must be an idioty. Tell somebody idioty idiot is an Italian form of idiot. Italian idiots. Italian idiots, idiots. Either I believe or you are idiot. Italian idiot. Tell somebody I'm a propagandist. Ask your neighbor. What? What do you do? I'm an agent. Special agent on special assignment. Shabba Lava. If you are not easily impressionable, you cannot be here. How many are easily impressed? It doesn't take much flowing fully #7 Faith is important because it gives us life. He very livily I say unto he that believeth on me hath everlasting life. John 333 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life. Wow. You see, the energy we have, life we have, is because we have faith. Yeah. I mean, otherwise, what are you here today's what day? Tuesday or what today's Wednesday? What are you doing here at this time? Here, they're going to work tomorrow to earn some pounds. You come and sit here, then they ask you to give £500. You are rather giving it away. The money that you should have gone to earn this this money. And yeah. And then tomorrow you are not earning it. You are rather coming and sharing it away. Are you an idiotic? I'm a believer. That's why you are here. How can we do the rest of our belief? Everything will boil down to that basic thing, believing. You will believe something. Before you can work for God, you must believe something. This message continues on the next track. Keep listening.
