1 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,720 You know, as I've been praying for you guys and just asking the 2 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,000 Lord what to share, I really feel like the Lord was just 3 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:28,800 speaking to me about having obedient faith, having faith 4 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,280 that obeys. Today I want to share with you 5 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,240 in the word of God in Hebrews 11/8. 6 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,520 But before I do that, you know this young generation that we're 7 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:45,760 working with this, this generation that we work with is 8 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,360 young adults, 18 to 30 years old. 9 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:52,640 Every Friday night that we are meeting and ministering to this 10 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,960 young generation. That's the age group that the 11 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,360 Lord has mandated to us to work with. 12 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,160 We don't have a church. We have fellowships that meet 13 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,960 every Friday night where people aren't up in the clubs and doing 14 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,319 stuff they're not supposed to do. 15 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,840 But every Friday we have 4 campuses that are across Uganda 16 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,600 that are meeting that have a full band. 17 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,040 Then we have campus leaders that are ministering there and then 18 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,840 we have fellowship with each one of them. 19 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:21,600 But this campus, these campus students are a very, I would say 20 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:26,080 extremely the, the campus students there, they'll do 21 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:31,040 anything on a drop of a hat. And I don't know if you've heard 22 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,440 of this thing on YouTube, it's called yes theory. 23 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,400 But what these influencers will do is they will pick up someone 24 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,120 and they'll take them and they'll stand at the airport and 25 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,560 they'll say, Hey, pastor or so. And so you want to go on a date 26 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,880 with this person, go all the way to Italy right on the stop drop, 27 00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:49,840 drop your hat, drop everything and come with me on this trip. 28 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:56,280 And we have this generation that is fearless and they do things 29 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,320 and they'll step out when things don't make sense. 30 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,800 I'm talking to you about stepping out to do things when 31 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:08,320 things don't make sense. Today the Bible says in Hebrews 32 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,880 11/8 it says by faith Abraham when called to go to a place he 33 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,920 would later receive his inheritance, obeyed and he went 34 00:02:16,920 --> 00:02:19,960 even though he did not know where he was going. 35 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:25,160 So here is Abraham, the first missionary ever sent out in the 36 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,680 word of God. The man gets a word and he has a 37 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:33,280 simple word to step out and to go somewhere where he doesn't 38 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:38,280 even know where to go. Unknown, not known, unfamiliar, 39 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,520 not identified. Stepping out of his own country. 40 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:49,480 I wonder if someone today, the Lord is speaking to you about 41 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,400 stepping out of your own country. 42 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,040 Maybe stepping out of your own comfort zone. 43 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,160 Maybe stuffing out of the stuff that's been normed to you, the 44 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,440 things that's been familiar to you, the things that you know, 45 00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:05,400 the things of the surroundings that are normal and comfortable 46 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,840 for you. What if the Lord shakes you a 47 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,680 little bit and says it's time to step, to do something different? 48 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,440 Maybe it's a nation, maybe it's a county, maybe it's a new job. 49 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,480 Maybe it's opening a cell group, maybe it's taking on the worship 50 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,120 team. What is it that the Lord is 51 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:27,040 shaking you to step out to do? Many people will have to see 52 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,240 things before they do and that's not the Bible kind of faith. 53 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:39,440 Stepping out into the unknown by trusting Abraham obeyed after 54 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,080 being called to go out to a place which God would give them 55 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,560 as a possession. Indeed, he went out without 56 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,880 knowing where he was going. God didn't even tell this man 57 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,880 where to go. He just said go. 58 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,720 My mother-in-law, Pastor Earl, she began to like pack all these 59 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,600 boxes. I said, what are you doing? 60 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,560 And at when she was living in Michigan, she began to just pack 61 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,600 boxes. I said, where you going, Maggie? 62 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,160 She says, I don't know, but I just been told I'm to go. 63 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,880 So she just packing boxes, getting ready. 64 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:16,720 Everyone say getting ready by faith, you see, in Ezekiel 2230, 65 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,519 it says he looked for someone among them who would build up 66 00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:26,240 the walls and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so 67 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,160 that I would not have to destroy it. 68 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,800 But the Bible says that he found none. 69 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,120 One of the saddest scriptures. In all scripture I need someone 70 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,960 to stand in the gap and that will go for me. 71 00:04:42,840 --> 00:04:47,360 In Hebrews 10, Hebrews 11/8, it says by faith Abraham, when 72 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,440 called to go to a place he would later receive his inheritance, 73 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,480 obeyed even though he did not know where he was going. 74 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,000 You see, Abraham was God's first missionary. 75 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:03,720 This word means sent one. He is not sent by his own plan, 76 00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:06,560 his own purposes, what he wants to do. 77 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:12,360 But the Lord said, listen, I'm calling you and I'm sending you 78 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,880 to the nations. And I went to Raymond and I 79 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,200 thought I would be a youth pastor. 80 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,400 Go there and go back to Michigan and run this hip, cool youth 81 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,400 ministry. And then the Lord began to speak 82 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:30,240 to me about going to Africa. You see, Abraham was the first 83 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,600 missionary. What is God telling you to 84 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,200 pursue something that's maybe unknown in your life? 85 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,000 In Genesis 12/1 it says. Then the Lord said to Abraham, 86 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,280 go from your country, from your people, from your father's 87 00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:48,760 household to the land I will show you, and I will make you 88 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,360 into a great nation, and I will bless you, and I will make your 89 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,160 name great, and you will be a blessing. 90 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,000 And I will bless those who bless you and whoever curses you, I 91 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,000 will curse you, and all the people on earth will be blessed 92 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:07,160 through you. Everyone say through you, it 93 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,400 says that he was called out or he was a sent one. 94 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,440 Maybe for you, you need to step out of a comfort zone. 95 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,160 Maybe you need to step out of the current situation that 96 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,120 you've been in because the Lord is leading you out into 97 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:30,080 something different. In Romans 10/14 it says how can 98 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,240 them that they call on the 1:00 they have not believed and how 99 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,920 can they believe in the one whom they have not heard and how can 100 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,280 they hear without someone preaching to them? 101 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,760 Verse 15 says and how can the anyone preach unless they are 102 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:50,840 sent That is it is written beautiful are the feet who bring 103 00:06:50,840 --> 00:06:53,800 good news. You see, we got to get out of 104 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,720 our country. What are the things that maybe 105 00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:00,080 you need to get out of so that you can get into what are the 106 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,040 things in your life that you need to get out of so that you 107 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,240 can get into what God wants you to do with your life. 108 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,080 You know, there's areas of our lives that were entrapped by the 109 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,440 flesh and they feel good. But if God really told us to do 110 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,520 something, could we do it or we bound or held back by those 111 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,680 things, simple things. Oh, you have a car payment, You 112 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,080 have a house payment. If God really called you to go, 113 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,840 could you let go of that stuff to go do what God called you to 114 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:35,520 do? And it's OK to have stuff. 115 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,880 And I know Pastor preaches excellent with in how we're 116 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,920 supposed to prosper, but we don't need things to keep us and 117 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,920 to hold us from what the will of God is to do when we're called 118 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,360 to go. And it might be called to go 119 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,280 just to a county over. It might be called to go to a 120 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,080 state over. But pastors going to be sending 121 00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,800 people out that this is a sending church, that we're not a 122 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,440 holding church, but we're equipping people and we're 123 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,520 sending you and we're getting you ready to go to the places 124 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,600 and the highways and the byways that the Lord has for you so 125 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,320 that you can make a impact and God can work through you. 126 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,040 Amen. So we're not sitting down and 127 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,480 just getting fatter and listening to other more messages 128 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,360 and more messages and getting fat on the word and follow 129 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,680 around Joyce Meyers again and again and again until we hear 130 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,800 another message and say, well, that message didn't have enough 131 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,240 revelation for me. Well, what are we doing with the 132 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,280 revelation that the Lord has given to us? 133 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,280 How are we using it? What are we doing with the 134 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,120 mandate of the Lord has given to each one of us? 135 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,480 Should we just preach this like we're in Africa? 136 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,640 Amen. So my first point is we must 137 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:49,600 have faith to obey. The first thing that Abraham had 138 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,600 to have is he had to have faith to obey. 139 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,480 I had to have faith to give me to Raima, had faith to leave 140 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,800 Raima. There's still people living in 141 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,280 Tulsa, OK. There's still people in Saint 142 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,120 Augustine. There's still green seats. 143 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:12,480 Well, Abraham still didn't know where he was going. 144 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,560 He didn't know what God was up to. 145 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,760 It doesn't tell him where to go, it just tells him to go. 146 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:25,080 Do you have an ear to hear what God is saying enough to know 147 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,000 when he's speaking to even get that revelation? 148 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,840 There's so many things that are buying for our attention, and 149 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,520 they're great things, but we've got to have an ear to hear what 150 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:41,000 God is saying to do Hallelujah, obey. 151 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,000 And he went, even though he did not know where he was going. 152 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:50,040 Sometimes all we have is a word. All we have is a word that was 153 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,120 spoken by God. The Lord told him to gather all 154 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,600 of your belongings, gather your household, gather all of your 155 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,000 workers, all your employees, get them together. 156 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,720 Load up the the tractor, load up the animals, load up everything. 157 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,400 Get ready to go. Where we going, boss? 158 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:15,400 We don't know we're going. God always does the right thing, 159 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,520 even if it seems absurd or it doesn't make sense. 160 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,640 You know the Bible says to lean not to your own understanding. 161 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,600 It doesn't lean not to your thinking. 162 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,560 Don't lean to your way of thinking. 163 00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:31,120 Don't lean to what your mind says to do. 164 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,240 Lean to into what the Holy Ghost is saying to do. 165 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,160 And I didn't even know where Africa was on the map. 166 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,000 I mean, I knew Africa, but I didn't know where Uganda was. 167 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,880 We were in South Africa serving and doing things, and then we 168 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,280 felt like our time was off. I had to look on the map, where 169 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,440 is Uganda? And my wife grew up in Kenya. 170 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,200 I thought we'd go back to Kenya. We went to Zambia to visit the 171 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,200 Sures, thought maybe it'd be Zambia. 172 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:58,800 We went to Botswana. Wasn't that? 173 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:04,160 And then the Lord says that Uganda is the place God always 174 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,920 does the right scene thing when it seems absurd. 175 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,080 Abraham got a single word. He did not get a paragraph. 176 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,880 He didn't get a chapter. He didn't get a book. 177 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,760 He didn't have to know the whole revelation. 178 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,440 Well, what about this or how much about this, or what do I 179 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,160 got to do to do this or what about that? 180 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:22,920 No, he stepped out on a word. Hallelujah. 181 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,720 The second thing I want to share with you is what you do first 182 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:34,080 determines what God does next.

You see, God wants to make you. 359 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,840 He wants to make you into what He's called you to do. 360 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,280 When we went to Africa, we didn't know what we're doing, 361 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:53,200 but God is making us. He's refining us into what He 362 00:22:53,200 --> 00:23:01,120 wants us to be and He's still making us say, you see, God 363 00:23:01,120 --> 00:23:05,840 doesn't call these that are qualified, but He qualifies the 364 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:10,120 people that He calls. Let me say that again for you. 365 00:23:10,360 --> 00:23:14,720 God doesn't call these that are qualified, but He qualifies the 366 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:19,240 people that are called. He's making you in first 367 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:24,800 Corinthians 127 says, but God has chosen the foolish things of 368 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:29,240 the world to put to shame the wise, and God chose has chosen 369 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,080 the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which 370 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,760 are mighty. You see, He's making you. 371 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,320 You don't have to have it all together. 372 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,520 All you have to do is be obedient to do what he's called 373 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:45,240 to you to do every step. Hallelujah. 374 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,440 We had this guy that was he just got born again in our ministry 375 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,280 and he said, pastor, I don't know any scriptures. 376 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:51,840 I said, that's fine. You can just come and pass out 377 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:58,600 hot dogs, Amen. Jesus learned through the things 378 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:03,120 that we suffered, right, serving in the Kingdom of God. 379 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:09,240 Everyone say serving, serving is what refines us, Amen. 380 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,760 Every part of this church you should be involved in serving in 381 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:18,200 some capacity. That should maybe your first 382 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,040 step, that's maybe kindergarten for you, is to join the Archer 383 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,120 team. Hallelujah. 384 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:29,800 It's not about us, guys. If I can go all the way to 385 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,640 Africa, you can put on that blacks, that black, black, black 386 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:46,700 shirt, right? God picks the foolish things to 387 00:24:46,700 --> 00:24:49,960 be Kingdom builders. We had this guy Pastor, his name 388 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:54,760 is Easton and he was a part of our team for a little bit and we 389 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,520 usually celebrate everyone's birthday. 390 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,720 So we got him a birthday cake at staff meeting. 391 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,440 We began to put it in front of him and he began to weep 392 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,480 profusely. How old was he? 393 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:09,160 Like 20-3 years old, 22 years old and he's like Easton, what 394 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:10,640 is going on? What's your problem? 395 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,200 He said, this is the 1st birthday cake that I ever 396 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,280 received. Pastor, you don't know, but I've 397 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,320 been, I'm an orphan and I'm sleeping in the closet at the 398 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:30,700 church. We're talking about God using 399 00:25:30,700 --> 00:25:32,780 the foolish things. And now he's our camera guy. 400 00:25:32,780 --> 00:25:35,420 And now he's working with graphics and, and now God is 401 00:25:35,420 --> 00:25:39,860 shifting his life around because he's able to step into the 402 00:25:39,860 --> 00:25:43,500 things that he's supposed to do for the kingdom's sake. 403 00:25:46,740 --> 00:25:53,600 He made us into missionaries. You see, there's a lot of 404 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,640 believers, but there's not a lot of disciples that will go. 405 00:26:00,120 --> 00:26:04,640 I wonder what God is asking you. I wonder what sector God is 406 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,920 asking you to be a part of. I wonder where He's calling you 407 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:12,240 to go today or to get into or get out of. 408 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,640 And Isaiah 6-8 it says, then I heard the voice of the Lord 409 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:23,160 saying, whom shall I send and who will go for us? 410 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:31,920 And I said, here am I send me. The next thing that we can see 411 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,840 about Abraham. Our fourth point for you today 412 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:41,800 is that he lived on a promise. Hebrews 11/9 says by faith he 413 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,440 made his home in the promised land. 414 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,560 Like a stranger in a foreign country. 415 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:51,760 He lived in tents and as Isaac and Jacob to heirs of him of the 416 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:57,240 same promise. Everyone say he was living on a 417 00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:03,720 promise. Do you see the word of God that 418 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,960 I am living on to be in Uganda is the word of God that he spoke 419 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:12,520 to me to go to Uganda, the word of God and it said Matt and 420 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:17,800 Angela, I Commission you, I tell you, I ordain you, I send you to 421 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,680 go to the nations and I open up Uganda for you. 422 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:27,400 I am living on a word. I am standing on a spoken word 423 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:31,600 that was spoken to me when my kids have malaria, when I'm my 424 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:36,040 my house is robbed, when my car is damaged, when motorcycles, 425 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:37,760 they steal the whole sound system. 426 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:43,480 I am living on a word that was spoken to me to be in Uganda. 427 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,320 I wonder what word you've been living on for 21 years. 428 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:56,440 Or you get in a bigger boat, or you redo it in your kitchen for 429 00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:02,080 the third time. You got your benzo now, and 430 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,080 those are cool things. What word are you living on? 431 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:13,480 Abraham was living on a single word to go Hallelujah. 432 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,160 Stretch forth your faith, my people. 433 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:25,080 He wants to bless you, but we have to be obedient to live upon 434 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,680 His Word. Amen. 435 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,160 Genesis 12/2 it says I will make you into a great nation and I 436 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,200 will bless you and I will make you into a great nation and you 437 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:41,200 will be a blessing. You see, you're to be a blessing 438 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:46,280 for someone else. You're blessed and you step out 439 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:51,160 for someone else. Thousands of kids, I can't 440 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,200 believe it, have been blessed through us because of my small 441 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,000 obedience to go to Uganda from Rhema. 442 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,640 We had this guy named Nicholas Pastor in our ministry and he, 443 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,760 he, I didn't know, but Nicholas was walking 30 minutes to get to 444 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,440 our discipleship classes. He said I was chasing after you 445 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,480 because you are a Bazoomgu, a white guy. 446 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,800 They say because you're white. I thought you were rich. 447 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,960 You give me money, but you gave us so much more. 448 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,280 You gave us the word of God. So then Nicholas, after he went 449 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,120 through our discipleship class, he went back to the village 450 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,160 about 6 hours away where you can't even see your hand in 451 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,080 front of your face at night, it's so dark. 452 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,720 And he's like, I'm going to put a school there. 453 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:36,160 There's no schools there. And he built a school out of cow 454 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,640 dung and thatch with thatch roof, cow dung and bricks. 455 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,720 He put it together. He has 100 students in it, in 456 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,240 the middle of the woods in Nowhereville. 457 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,440 And then because he did that, he stepped out. 458 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:57,240 There was another school that was started living on a word. 459 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,080 I wonder what the word is that He spoke to you to do. 460 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:08,480 Is this speaking to anybody? The next thing that He says #5 461 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,720 One of my last points for you says I will bless you. 462 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,920 You see, God is in the blessing business, Amen. 463 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,320 Genesis 12/2 it says, I will bless you and I will make your 464 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,360 name great and you will be a blessing. 465 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,800 Hebrews 1035 it says and but my righteous one will live by 466 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,280 faith, and I take no pleasure in one who shrinks back. 467 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,440 He's going to bless you when you don't shrink back. 468 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:45,940 That David ran to Goliath. God makes His promise good where 469 00:30:45,940 --> 00:30:52,840 He is, not what not where you want to be. 470 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:57,760 But He makes His promise good where He wants to be, where He 471 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:02,120 commanded you to go. Are you with me today? 472 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:08,240 He makes His promise good where you're supposed to be, not where 473 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,760 you are. You see, when I throw the 474 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,680 football and I get ready to throw a touchdown, I'm not 475 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,640 throwing it to the receiver where he is. 476 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:19,480 I'm throwing it to where He's going to be and when he hits 477 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,840 that intended spot, he's going to catch that. 478 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,800 And many of you aren't living in the blessing is because you're 479 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:28,840 not at the place called there. He has a place that's called 480 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,440 there for you where he wants you to be and that you will live a 481 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:40,440 blessed life if you get there. God makes his promise good. 482 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,720 He'll make his provision good there too. 483 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,680 And God is supplying and we've been able to only be in Uganda 484 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,320 21 years is because God's faithfulness and that's his will 485 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,640 of God for his life. Every time I come back to 486 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,960 America, Lord, I ask Pastor Earl, is that Lord, am I gonna 487 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:03,160 get to go back 'cause I can't do it on my own. 488 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,000 I can't go there in my own flesh. 489 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:10,120 I can't even live a day there without the, the anointing and 490 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,360 the, the grace of God upon my life. 491 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,640 It's dangerous people to, to be out of the will of God. 492 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,560 It's dangerous when you're not in the place that God has called 493 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,600 you to be. Sometimes we have to pray and 494 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,840 say, Lord, is this even the vacation that we're supposed to 495 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,640 do? And we one time we went up and 496 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,440 people kicked in our doors and stole everything 'cause it 497 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:31,720 wasn't where we're supposed to be. 498 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:33,720 We thought, well, that's the enemy. 499 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,520 Yes, it's the enemy, but He gives us wisdom to be in the 500 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,840 right place at the right time, intersecting the blessings of 501 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:46,080 God, and He wants to bless you. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. 502 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:52,280 Am I speaking to some people? Some of you are not experiencing 503 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:56,200 supernatural provision because you're not at the place called 504 00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:01,320 the unknown. I never thought that I would be 505 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:08,000 in Uganda, but we're obedient to do the will of God, and I will 506 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,160 make you into a great nation and I will bless you. 507 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,560 If Abraham would have stayed there, he could have prayed, he 508 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,400 could have begged, he could have asked the Lord, he could have 509 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,720 threw ashes up. He could have done this over and 510 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:23,320 over again and he could have. But that was the place he could 511 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:27,040 have remained because each one of us have a free will. 512 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,120 I didn't make my wife come down the altar. 513 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:37,960 It meant she has a free will, and you have a free will to 514 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,920 either say yes or no to whatever the instructions are that God is 515 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:43,400 instructing you to do. Amen. 516 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:51,080 You know, we have this guy named Franklin that's a part of our 517 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:55,280 ministry. And, you know, he was going to 518 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,280 medical school at the time and he was playing drums for us. 519 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,680 And he, he kept on trying to get to Australia. 520 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,000 And I said, Franklin, I really don't feel like you're supposed 521 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:04,960 to go to Australia as his oversight. 522 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,360 And I was like, just stay here in Uganda. 523 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,239 Everyone wants to go to America, wants to go to Australia, wants 524 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,400 to go to England, going to get to the place. 525 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,080 The green is not always, the grass is not always green, 526 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:19,440 right?

Now he's reaching hundreds and 546 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:22,440 thousands of people in Jerusalem, Judea, the uttermost 547 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,760 parts, Amen. I'm not in the uttermost parts. 548 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,960 I'm right in the city ministering to the campus 549 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,240 students who are then reaching the Bush. 550 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:44,400 You see the powers in the little, the small things, the 551 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,320 one soul, the one person that you're supposed to bring along 552 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,640 and disciple.

Amen. 559 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,600 The last thing I want to share with you today is the most 560 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:20,680 powerful thing that I could see about this scripture that I read 561 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:26,080 with you is basically that Abraham went in a family and he 562 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:31,600 came out a nation. Hear me today, Abraham went in a 563 00:36:31,720 --> 00:36:39,240 family and came out a nation because of his obedience to do 564 00:36:39,240 --> 00:36:42,480 the will of God. He went in with four or two kids 565 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:46,160 and a wife. He went in and then thousands of 566 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,760 students are being impacted. What did Abraham, What was it 567 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:51,760 the Lord told him? Look up to the sky. 568 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:56,600 As many as the stars that you can see will be your descendants 569 00:36:56,720 --> 00:37:01,000 because of your obedience not to stay, but to go where I've 570 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,360 commanded you to go. You're going to come out a 571 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:09,720 nation who's ready to to change Saint Augustine, who's ready to 572 00:37:09,720 --> 00:37:13,360 change this area, who's ready to see something happen in this 573 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:21,520 city Because of your obedience, Hallelujah, because of your 574 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,400 obedience. Because of your obedience, 575 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,760 thousands of people can be impacted. 576 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:27,520 It's not about you.
