1
00:00:20,370 --> 00:00:24,170
So First Corinthians chapter 12,
verse 18 to 20 says, but now God

2
00:00:24,170 --> 00:00:27,810
has placed the members, each one
of them in the body just as he 

3
00:00:27,810 --> 00:00:30,450
desires. 
If they were all one member, 

4
00:00:30,530 --> 00:00:32,970
where would the body be? 
But now there are many members, 

5
00:00:32,970 --> 00:00:37,930
but one body, say there's many 
members, one body, many members,

6
00:00:38,450 --> 00:00:42,960
one body. 
So we are many members, but one 

7
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,800
body. 
And I like to say it this way, 

8
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,480
in the Kingdom of God, you do 
not lose your individuality. 

9
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:53,320
However, you do lose your 
independence because again, 

10
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,840
you're in the Kingdom, not in a 
church in the United States. 

11
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,920
There's a difference. 
You can be in a church in the 

12
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,720
United States and take United 
States principles of 

13
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,960
independence, the freedom that's
spoken about the United States, 

14
00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:12,040
and different things. 
I can say whatever I want to say

15
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:13,880
whenever I want to say. 
It's called freedom of speech. 

16
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,760
Not in the Kingdom, because in 
the Kingdom, if you say whatever

17
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,480
you want to say, you'll have 
whatever you say. 

18
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,480
And if you say stuff contrary to
the king, then you're going to 

19
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,400
have challenges. 
In the Kingdom, you're supposed 

20
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,920
to say what the king is saying 
because he has words of life. 

21
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,440
I don't want to say deaf words. 
I want to have life. 

22
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,720
Words, death and life are in the
power of the tongue. 

23
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,560
Amen. 
So you may say whatever you want

24
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,120
to say in an American Christian 
Church, but in the Kingdom of 

25
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,880
God, we are supposed to say what
the king is saying because 

26
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,840
there's life. 
And that's where liberty exists,

27
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,040
all right? 
And so we are not independent of

28
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,080
one another. 
We are actually completely 

29
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,760
dependent upon one another. 
Although we are individual 

30
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,800
members, we have individual and 
we have individuality. 

31
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,200
We have our own giftings, our 
way of doing things. 

32
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,560
We are here to complement each 
other. 

33
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,039
I do not see a believer when 
they have some challenges as 

34
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:13,680
being a conflict. 
I just know they're having to 

35
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:18,240
get their carnality together 
because I see them as a 

36
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,320
compliment. 
And when you function in your 

37
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:26,680
gifting in Christ, you only make
me better and I'll only make you

38
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,680
better. 
And as we yield to that, then we

39
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,840
become this one body, not seen 
as many members, but just as 

40
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,720
one. 
Wouldn't you love it? 

41
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,280
I know I do. 
If somebody looks at me and say 

42
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,640
anchor faith, that means you 
don't even know who I am, but 

43
00:02:41,640 --> 00:02:45,760
you associate with me with a big
vision, with a vision, with a 

44
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,160
place, something bigger than an 
individual. 

45
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:51,800
Amen. 
That's where you ultimately want

46
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:52,560
to become. 
Why? 

47
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,640
Because John said I must 
decrease, he must increase. 

48
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,080
In essence, you know, you can 
become so lost in the church 

49
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,600
that they don't even know you by
name, but they sure know you by 

50
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,800
the vision you carry. 
Glory to God because the only 

51
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:11,160
name that we need to exalt is 
His name, the head of the 

52
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:16,000
church, Jesus Christ the King. 
Ernest Gentile said this. 

53
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,800
Why stress local churches so 
much? 

54
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,160
Very simply because the local 
church is the key messenger of 

55
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,520
Christ to the secular community.
The people of a local church 

56
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,000
become the heart, the hands and 
the voice of Jesus Christ. 

57
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,480
This brilliant strategy is God's
way of maintaining active 

58
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,760
spiritual life in his Saints and
then through them impacting the 

59
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,680
secular world. 
When the people of the community

60
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:42,440
see the members of the local, of
the local church body, they will

61
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:49,080
see Christ and they will, if 
everyone becomes one, unified. 

62
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,000
Are you hearing me in Ephesians 
47? 

63
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,040
Just to let you know. 
But to each one of us, but to 

64
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,680
each one of us, grace was giving
according to the measure of 

65
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,920
Christ's gift. 
So everyone of us have a gift 

66
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,720
from God and we are all a gift. 
Go ahead and say to yourself, I 

67
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,400
am a gift. 
You are not lying because you 

68
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,440
are now. 
You may be calling those things 

69
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,800
that be not as though they were 
right now because you don't see 

70
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,000
yourself as a gift, thinking of 
yourself as a gift. 

71
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,720
Or you may have your own 
undeveloped mind challenges 

72
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,200
where you see yourself less than
someone else. 

73
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:27,640
Listen, you're not less, you're 
you, and God made you unique. 

74
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,760
He made you the way He wanted to
make you, and He did. 

75
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,920
And He made you in a way that 
you will complement and connect 

76
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:39,360
with others within the body He 
assigned you because He is into 

77
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,920
body assignment. 
He picks it. 

78
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,720
He places you, as we just read 
in First Corinthians 12, in the 

79
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:52,720
body where it pleases him. 
So again, when you fight against

80
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,120
what you're destined to do, 
you're not fighting with other 

81
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,440
members of the church. 
You're fighting with God 

82
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,480
himself, so don't fight against 
God. 

83
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,960
Just go ahead and be what God's 
called you to be because it's 

84
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,080
the most exciting thing ever. 
And the grace of God will begin 

85
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,680
to flow in your life and and and
life. 

86
00:05:10,840 --> 00:05:13,560
Although there will be 
challenges at times because he 

87
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,640
said in this world you're going 
to have trials and tribulation, 

88
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,320
but be of good cheer for I've 
overcome the world. 

89
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,440
The grace in you will be 
sufficient for you to function 

90
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,120
and flow through anything, and 
the church bodies there to help 

91
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,640
out. 
So we all are a gift. 

92
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:31,600
Then he then in the 11th verse 
of this same chapter, it says 

93
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,000
that he gave some as apostle, 
some as prophets, some as 

94
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,320
evangelists, and some as pastors
and teachers for the equipment 

95
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,800
of the Saints for the work of 
service to the building up of 

96
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:45,000
the body of Christ. 
So some of the grace gifts are 

97
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,640
the apostle, prophets, 
evangelist, pastors and 

98
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,480
teachers. 
So not all the Saints possess 

99
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,960
those gifts, but some of the 
Saints possess those gifts and 

100
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,440
the Bible talks about those 
particular gifts so that you can

101
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:02,160
clearly identify when someone is
truly an apostle, truly a 

102
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,960
pastor, truly a teacher, truly a
prophet, and truly an 

103
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,200
evangelist. 
Because the Bible does talk 

104
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,120
about false ones and that's 
because they have personal 

105
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,280
ambitions. 
But if you just yield to God and

106
00:06:16,280 --> 00:06:20,160
just because there is a false 
doesn't mean the true cannot. 

107
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,480
And too often in the church, 
unfortunately, because we may 

108
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,400
have seen or experienced some 
that did not function properly 

109
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:34,840
or in some instances may be 
truly have the gift but made 

110
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:40,480
some failures because 
unfortunately not everyone's 

111
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,920
perfect. 
Are you hearing me? 

112
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,280
And again, you know, if the 
pastor doesn't do it perfect 

113
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,080
man, if you don't watch out, the
Saints will crucify them. 

114
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:56,040
But yet the pastor is to be 
long-suffering and to help the 

115
00:06:56,040 --> 00:07:00,040
Saints alone. 
And, you know, we should not get

116
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:05,640
into that kind of routine where 
Saints can be forgiven, but the 

117
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:11,440
fivefold cannot. 
All right, So there are these 

118
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,920
giftings that are there just 
because some don't do it 

119
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,280
perfect. 
Well, you understand, some 

120
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,960
Saints don't do it perfect. 
Amen. 

121
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,760
Who's the perfect St. here? 
Come on, raise your hand. 

122
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,200
Come on up front. 
That way we can identify you. 

123
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:28,520
Hey, chance, were you raising 
your hand? 

124
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,960
Was that what you were saying? 
Oh, you're just scratching your 

125
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,280
your your cheek. 
I got you. 

126
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:33,480
I understand. 
All right. 

127
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,200
Right. 
Well, you're like, well, 

128
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,760
obviously past. 
Well, who's the perfect five 

129
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,160
fold? 
Minister, would you please come 

130
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,400
down front? 
I mean, I'm, I'm down front now,

131
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,000
but that doesn't mean I'm 
perfect by any means, right? 

132
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,160
OK. 
Well, if we can accept that, 

133
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,960
then we shouldn't be able to 
accept easily to forgive people.

134
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,800
Should we be made known that 
there's something going on if 

135
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,960
there is something going on, All
right, because it's about what 

136
00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:02,520
we're going to talk about today 
through the evangelist gift 

137
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,840
called reconciliation. 
It's called restoration. 

138
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,040
Because the minute you get where
you can't restore, then you're 

139
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,560
not listening to the right Holy 
Ghost, the right Spirit at all, 

140
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:19,000
because he came to restore, to 
reconcile not only us to God, 

141
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,480
but if you're reconciled to God,
then you'll be reconciled to 

142
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,240
your brothers. 
Amen. 

143
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,920
Amen. 
Anyway, all right, so earnest 

144
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:32,400
Gentile said the object of the 
fivefold gifts is to enable the 

145
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,080
whole church to become 
spiritually mature and truly 

146
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,640
function as representatives of 
Christ's Kingdom. 

147
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,640
Amen. 
So Second, Timothy 4-5 says, but

148
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:46,320
you talking about the 
evangelist, be sober in all 

149
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:51,280
things, in dear hardship, do the
work of the evangelist, fulfill 

150
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,680
your minister. 
Now Paul is talking to Timothy 

151
00:08:54,160 --> 00:09:00,200
who is pastoring the church at 
Ephesus, and it it lets us know 

152
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:06,520
that the fivefold minister of a 
pastor can do the work of the 

153
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,920
fivefold minister of the 
evangelist, even though they may

154
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,920
not be an evangelist. 
Are you hearing me? 

155
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:20,240
Because this one particular gift
has the least amount of 

156
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:25,960
information about it. 
As far as direct, there's only 

157
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:32,120
one person listed as one in the 
word as an evangelist, and his 

158
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,680
name is Philip, OK. 
And we're going to look at one 

159
00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:39,000
of his city assignments when he 
went as the evangelist there. 

160
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,800
OK, so we understand this 
particular role, but we 

161
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,160
recognize there is the 
evangelist, obviously, Ephesians

162
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:46,680
4. 
Now we see Second Timothy 

163
00:09:46,680 --> 00:09:50,400
chapter 4 that we have an 
evangelist and an evangelist has

164
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,320
a work of ministry. 
So what is the evangelist? 

165
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,480
What's his work is to present 
the good news of the Kingdom of 

166
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:03,080
God and Jesus Christ to non 
Christians in the in our area or

167
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:07,160
we could say secular community 
so they will be caused to 

168
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:11,520
repent, be baptized and be 
assimilated into the local 

169
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,240
church. 
In essence, the primary role of 

170
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,680
the evangelist is to persuade 
non believers to become 

171
00:10:17,680 --> 00:10:20,760
believers. 
But here's the thing, true 

172
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:26,000
evangelists are not going out to
have people born again and not 

173
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:33,000
connect them to a church that's 
not a true evangelist. 

174
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:40,680
Because true evangelism is going
to a non believer, revealing to 

175
00:10:40,680 --> 00:10:45,760
them the Kingdom of God and 
Jesus Christ in such a way by 

176
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:51,480
the anointing that it causes 
them to repent, be born again, 

177
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:59,080
become a disciple, follow with 
water baptism and assimilate 

178
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,040
into the body or the local body 
church. 

179
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:07,840
That's the goal. 
And what we have done, if we 

180
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,760
don't watch out, is that we'll 
send this messaging. 

181
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,760
All that matters is that people 
get saved. 

182
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:17,720
That is not all that matters. 
That is not in the Scripture 

183
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,680
that all that matters is that 
people get saved. 

184
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,080
It does not say that. 
That is not the only thing that 

185
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,880
matters. 
In fact, Jesus doesn't even give

186
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,880
that call that people would just
be saved. 

187
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,440
He actually says, and we'll see 
it, to go into all the world and

188
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:38,480
make a disciple is more than 
someone just getting saved. 

189
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,320
I mean, we understand to come 
and confess Jesus Christ as our 

190
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,400
Lord to receive the blood he's 
already shed for us and is on 

191
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,880
the mercy seat in heaven and 
that we can receive that 

192
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,400
forgiveness to where we become 
this new creature in Christ. 

193
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,400
The old passed away. 
Behold, all things become new. 

194
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:02,040
This is a what this is an event 
that occurs, but it's from a 

195
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:06,040
confession that he's Lord. 
Well, if he's truly Lord, then 

196
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:10,280
you would follow whatever he 
says, and he says more than just

197
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:11,920
know where you're going to be 
when you die. 

198
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,320
Jesus never went publicly and 
said, do you know where you're 

199
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,240
going to go when you die? 
That was not his message. 

200
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,280
Now, do I know where I'm going 
to go when I die? 

201
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,440
Yes. 
The scripture tells me because 

202
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,160
I'm born again to be absent from
the body, I'll be present with 

203
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,320
the Lord. 
But that's not why I'm saved. 

204
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:36,280
I'm saved because God wanted me 
to become his child again, by 

205
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,600
which he will take care of me 
now, by which he'll put me back 

206
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,120
in the dominion that Adam lost 
so that the Kingdom can function

207
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,840
in my life in this earth today. 
So his Kingdom can come, His 

208
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,960
will can be done. 
It's in on the in the earth like

209
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,680
it is in heaven through my life.
And I can have everything that's

210
00:12:53,680 --> 00:12:56,120
afforded to me in the name of 
Jesus. 

211
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:02,480
I walk into destiny, not 
destination, because a person 

212
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,240
holding out for destination will
not live in the earth like 

213
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:11,120
someone who knows their destiny.
Totally different existence. 

214
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:18,960
And so God wants the evangelist 
to compel by the Spirit, the 

215
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:24,960
unsaved to become children of 
God are believers in Christ so 

216
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:29,080
that they can be discipled and 
planted within the local body 

217
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,320
church with the rest of the 
family. 

218
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,840
Because Jesus lets you know who 
your family is. 

219
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,320
Your family is not the color of 
your skin, your last name, the 

220
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,720
ones that came out of your womb 
are the womb you came from. 

221
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:50,040
Your family is according to 
Jesus is that who is my family. 

222
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:56,360
When his birth, his the mother 
that birthed him was there and 

223
00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,920
then the siblings that are half 
siblings because they were 

224
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:05,400
birthed through his Mama. 
But with the help of Joseph, OK 

225
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,200
wanted to talk to him at a 
particular meeting. 

226
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:12,000
He was having me and he says to 
the crowd, who is my mother and 

227
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:17,000
my brothers and sisters, It's 
those who do the will of my 

228
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,720
father, which opens up beyond 
the nation of Israel. 

229
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,880
Amen. 
And so God wants you in the 

230
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:29,520
family so that you can be 
encouraged, strengthened, and 

231
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:33,400
that all of God's Kingdom power 
can function and flow through 

232
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:37,360
you. 
Acts chapter 21, verse 8 says it

233
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,480
this way. 
And on the next day we left and 

234
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,960
came to Caesarea and entering 
the House of Philip the 

235
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:49,040
Evangelist, who was one of the 
seven, we stayed with him. 

236
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:54,040
Now who's one of the seven, 
Philip first, I like this about 

237
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,680
what Steven Bradshaw was saying 
to me one day and we had lunch 

238
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,840
together. 
He says, you know, I always kind

239
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,640
of took First Corinthians 
chapter 12 is that, you know, 

240
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,800
God placed us in the body where 
it pleases him. 

241
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,080
So if you're an elbow, you're 
always an elbow, he said. 

242
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,520
But I realized that God will 
place you in his body. 

243
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,560
It's not so much a literal body 
part where you'll always be the 

244
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,960
elbow, but you'll you'll do what
God's asked you to do in the 

245
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,520
local assembly. 
He placed you and assigned you 

246
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:26,760
and as you're faithful to his 
word and to walk in love and 

247
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:30,080
walk in forgiveness and allow 
the fruits of the Spirit to 

248
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,680
manifest in your life, and then 
you grow as a disciple as you're

249
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,280
showing faithfulness. 
You may have this one assignment

250
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,200
within the church body, but God 
could move you to other 

251
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:44,160
assignments, ultimately to the 
to an assignment that could be 

252
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,000
fivefold ministry. 
Now, that doesn't mean fivefold 

253
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,880
ministry is better than Saints. 
It's just an assignment because 

254
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:56,000
he said, I realized that you 
went to church prior to being 

255
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,240
called a pastor, of which I just
served. 

256
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,440
So by all rights, even though 
from my mother's womb he knew 

257
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,000
the call that he had for me, I 
had not yet discovered it. 

258
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:11,400
So I was functioning merely as a
St. serving in the local body 

259
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:16,360
that I believe God had placed me
in based upon how I knew and 

260
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,240
could hear from God. 
Now, I've grown quite a bit 

261
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,240
since then, you know, did the 
best I could. 

262
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,120
And you know, God really helped 
me a lot in, you know, my 

263
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:29,440
immaturity, that's for sure. 
But the reality is Philip is one

264
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:33,440
of the ones that when there was 
an issue in the Jerusalem church

265
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:38,960
concerning feeding Hellenistic 
Jews that they had that there 

266
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:45,520
was complaint happening and A 
and a one that was duly noted, 

267
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:49,280
it was an issue. 
So when it's brought to Peter, 

268
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,640
James and them, they're having 
this conversation concerning 

269
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,040
this issue. 
They said now based upon the 

270
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:01,520
position or the place that God 
has put us in the body, it's not

271
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:07,119
for us to do that assignment. 
We have this assignment of 

272
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:13,200
prayer and ministering the word.
So find 7 men and there were 

273
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,800
qualifications. 
I'm going to say that again. 

274
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,560
There were qualifications. 
Listen, just 'cause you want to 

275
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,200
do something does not mean 
you're going to be able to do 

276
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,640
something. 
I don't set the standard. 

277
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:32,840
God sets the standard. 
I don't set the standard. 

278
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,080
God sets the standard. 
Now does that mean you have to 

279
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,280
be perfect to serve? 
No, but they're still 

280
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:43,360
qualifications. 
And in this particular scenario 

281
00:17:43,360 --> 00:17:47,480
of feeding these widows, this 
was the qualification. 

282
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:53,720
Find me 7 men full of the Holy 
Ghost, full of wisdom. 

283
00:17:54,360 --> 00:18:01,200
Was there a third one too? 
And a good reputation, which 

284
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,440
means what are you putting on 
social media? 

285
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,080
Is it allowing your reputation 
to look all right? 

286
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,000
Say Amen anyway, I mean, I'm not
posting. 

287
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,080
So again, there's there's 
qualifications because God even 

288
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:24,520
wants someone who's handing out 
food to represent him. 

289
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:30,720
Now you can act any old way if 
you representing you, but if 

290
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:35,400
you're representing the Kingdom,
the Bible has a holy standard, 

291
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,040
not mine. 
Now pastor man, you sure are 

292
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,040
making it tough you. 
I'm not making nothing, I'm 

293
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:46,440
following the king period. 
Now what if you're somewhere and

294
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,280
you mess up? 
We can restore you no issue. 

295
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:55,280
Plenty of people have served in 
areas and blew it and we talked 

296
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,640
to them, get them restored and 
then put them back in place. 

297
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,200
Pretty simple, not very 
difficult. 

298
00:19:02,120 --> 00:19:04,760
Amen. 
So at the end of the day, you 

299
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,000
have to be full of the Holy 
Ghost, full of wisdom and have a

300
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,320
good reputation just to be able 
to feed widows, of which Philip 

301
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,160
was 1. 
So Philip wasn't called the 

302
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:19,120
evangelist then? 
Philip was a St. serving widow 

303
00:19:19,120 --> 00:19:23,600
women. 
And he obviously did it with 

304
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:30,000
such passion, faithfulness, and 
determination that the Lord 

305
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:34,840
says, you know what, I'm going 
to use you in the fivefold 

306
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:40,080
ministry as an evangelist. 
So in order for us to see one of

307
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:46,040
the the first written accounts 
of him serving as an evangelist 

308
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,120
for the church, we must go back 
to Acts chapter 8. 

309
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,160
In Acts chapter 8, starting in 
verse 5, it says Philip went 

310
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:56,920
down to the city of Samaria and 
began proclaiming Christ to 

311
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,080
them. 
Now I'm going to move some 

312
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,120
scripture. 
Not that I'm taking it out of 

313
00:20:02,120 --> 00:20:05,680
context. 
I'm just bringing it up to fill 

314
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,600
because you understand in 
writing you can make a statement

315
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,520
and then later on in your 
writing explain something 

316
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,640
previously stated. 
I just want to put it in order. 

317
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:20,240
So with that being said, Verse. 
4 again, or verse 5, Peter went 

318
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,800
down to the city of Samaria and 
began proclaiming Christ to 

319
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,720
them. 
Verse 12 tells us exactly what 

320
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,600
he was proclaiming. 
But when they believed Philip 

321
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,560
preaching the good news. 
This is what the evangelist 

322
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,760
does. 
What is the good news about the 

323
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,080
Kingdom of God and the name of 
Jesus? 

324
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,440
They were being baptized, men 
and women alike. 

325
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,720
So when he went down to Samaria 
and began proclaiming Christ, 

326
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,880
Christ is not last name of 
Jesus. 

327
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,240
That one statement is really 
saying that he went and 

328
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,360
proclaimed the King and his 
Kingdom. 

329
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:04,840
That is the message of the 
evangelist, a true evangelist. 

330
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,520
That is a study of the word and 
recognize. 

331
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:13,280
And if they'll go and study the 
lineage of what a evangelist do,

332
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:17,640
you'll find that they are there 
to herald the king of the 

333
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,360
Kingdom. 
Now they'll get to this fact 

334
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:28,280
that the king came and died for 
you as a lamb without spot or 

335
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:35,160
wrinkle on a cross, so that he 
could sow his life, his seed of 

336
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:39,760
kingship, so that you could be 
redeemed and be placed back in 

337
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:44,560
dominion or rulership. 
The the rulership that Adam had 

338
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:49,440
when the earth was first 
created, but lost when he ate 

339
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,360
from the tree of the knowledge 
of good and evil. 

340
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,520
Jesus came to restore that to 
us. 

341
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:58,720
Hallelujah and so he's preaching
look what how it's reads about 

342
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,880
the Kingdom of God and the name 
of Jesus. 

343
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,800
Why is that? 
He says in essence, it sounds 

344
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,440
like what Jesus said repent for 
the Kingdom of heaven is at 

345
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,360
hand. 
Well, who is this king of your 

346
00:22:11,360 --> 00:22:13,800
Kingdom? 
His name is Jesus. 

347
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,280
Well, I thought you'd be a 
little more excited about that. 

348
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:23,360
His name is Jesus. 
Hallelujah. 

349
00:22:23,360 --> 00:22:26,240
I think we need to take some 
time to do some training right 

350
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:30,600
here. 
All right, the ministering of 

351
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,560
the Word is so that you can have
ears to hear to do. 

352
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,680
I get it. 
But when your spirit hears, you 

353
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:43,560
should have a response. 
And don't allow your hearing to 

354
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:48,600
lull your spirit so that when 
something like praise God that 

355
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,080
you're like, well, I don't want 
to say anything. 

356
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,440
You should shout it. 
You should proclaim it. 

357
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,880
If you need to stand, stand. 
Now, if you're a person that 

358
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,120
stands all the time, you might 
want to stand further back 

359
00:22:59,120 --> 00:23:01,080
because we definitely don't want
you stand in front of the camera

360
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,480
all the time, right? 
So Brandon, you're not going to 

361
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,720
be able to stand up all the time
because the cameras there, he'd 

362
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,200
be like, and then he stands up 
again and we're like, man, we 

363
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,400
can't get him in the shot. 
So again, if you're a person 

364
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,080
that gets excited, we'll find 
just give you a little bit 

365
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:14,680
further back. 
And we don't mind you being 

366
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,040
exuberant a little bit further 
because again, you got to 

367
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,040
realize there's people in front 
of you too. 

368
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:25,640
However, there are right times 
to respond and we should do 

369
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,480
that. 
Amen. 

370
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,200
Because, listen, you sure didn't
have to tell the swamp when to 

371
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,880
respond. 
He didn't have to do it. 

372
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,200
Tony, be All right. 
I'll be past a minute. 

373
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:48,400
I mean, a catch. 
They would jump up a long run, 

374
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,440
they would jump up a touchdown. 
They would jump up and send off 

375
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:59,400
fireworks. 
So your King's name is Jesus, 

376
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:03,920
right? 
Right. 

377
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,920
I mean, somebody that doesn't 
know the Lord, when they hear 

378
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:13,120
his children hear his name, they
should be like, what's going on 

379
00:24:13,120 --> 00:24:14,560
here? 
I mean, who wants to go? 

380
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:22,440
Earnest said. 
The problem with evangelism 

381
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:28,200
today is that most people don't 
want to go to the church because

382
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:32,880
the people aren't demonstrating 
what they're selling outside the

383
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:39,400
church that they're getting. 
Man, you need this life of 

384
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:40,760
Christ. 
Then you come to the church and 

385
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:47,760
we're like, I'm like, you know, 
when they were lost, they went 

386
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,120
to the club. 
When they went to the club, the 

387
00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:52,200
club didn't look like this. 
What are you doing? 

388
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,160
I'm trying to figure out who I 
can pick up today. 

389
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,720
Music's gone. 
You see anybody? 

390
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,280
Yeah. 
There's just one girl over there

391
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,520
I was looking at, you know, 
she's just standing on the wall.

392
00:25:09,120 --> 00:25:18,080
Get your back up off the wall, 
right? 

393
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,120
Come on. 
You know what I'm talking about 

394
00:25:20,120 --> 00:25:24,720
John, right? 
I mean, John had no problem 

395
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,640
dancing because John when he was
in the club, he danced, right? 

396
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,960
And he is not going to let his 
dancing in a club out dance his 

397
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:39,080
praise to his king, right? 
I mean, I'm not correcting John.

398
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,120
And you know what, John's not 
actually distracting. 

399
00:25:41,120 --> 00:25:44,640
He'll get right over here in his
corner because some of you can't

400
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:51,000
ain't handling how he's dancing.
But now when you were drinking 

401
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,040
in the day, I mean you were 
dancing worse. 

402
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:59,440
John actually has rhythm. 
I mean, I watched John sometimes

403
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,760
and I'm like, bro, he's on every
beat. 

404
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,160
I mean, he's like doing it. 
And then they switch songs and 

405
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:15,080
he'll jump over. 
So seem, I mean like transition.

406
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:22,440
I'm like, come on, man. 
And that's why you know, you're 

407
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:27,080
not dancing because you'd be 
like and everybody like what 

408
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:28,280
happened? 
Did they trip? 

409
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:35,400
What right, I get it. 
If you want to dance and 

410
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,760
anointing, just get over there 
by John a little bit, right? 

411
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,960
Learn some of his Holy Ghost 
steps. 

412
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:47,800
Hallelujah. 
All right, I mean, I praise the 

413
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,760
Lord. 
All right, Acts chapter 8. 

414
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,360
So he's preaching Jesus, the 
Kingdom of God, the name of 

415
00:26:54,360 --> 00:26:57,520
Jesus, and the people are being 
baptized, men and women alike. 

416
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,880
Now let's go back to verse 6. 
We'll go to 6:00 and 8:00 and 

417
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,640
we'll see some things here. 
As an evangelist, the crowds 

418
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:06,040
were with one accord giving 
attention to what was said by 

419
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:10,000
him because the anointing on 
Phillips Life allows him to be 

420
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:14,440
able to draw this crowd as they 
heard and saw the science he was

421
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,320
performing. 
Because a lot of times with the 

422
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:21,600
evangelist, healing will be a 
gift that through the gifts of 

423
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,960
the spirit that can get in 
operation because healing. 

424
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,040
One minister said, I think it 
was Oral Roberts is the dinner 

425
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,840
bell to salvation. 
Just being that God is 

426
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,640
compassionate and good and you 
may not be born again, but God 

427
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,000
loves you and he wants to take 
care of you. 

428
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,840
He'll do more than just heal 
your body, OK. 

429
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:42,680
And again, a lot of times, 
healing shows the culture of the

430
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,240
Kingdom. 
So when the evangelist is 

431
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,760
ministering, he's there to 
minister what the Kingdom looks 

432
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,920
like. 
So healing is a byproduct of 

433
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,000
what the king Kingdom of Heaven 
looks like. 

434
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:00,200
There's no sick people up there.
None. 

435
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,960
So you know, and it says in many
cases those who had unclean 

436
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,760
spirits were coming out of them 
shouting with a loud voice, and 

437
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,720
many have been paralyzed and 
lame were healed. 

438
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,480
So there was much what which 
here's another thing, if you 

439
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:20,040
look at the evangelist or you 
look at when evangelism is 

440
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,280
happening in a community for the
first time, it says there's 

441
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,840
rejoicing that takes place. 
This is why a true, a true 

442
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,480
evangelist will have joy 
associated with them when they 

443
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,720
minister. 
This is why Reverend Pat, we 

444
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,760
call him Pastor Roddy and he 
does pastor church, but he's 

445
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:40,880
also Roddy the evangelist. 
And This is why joy is a lot of 

446
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,280
times associated with him 
because he has such a passion to

447
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,760
see the lost saved, to come into
the Kingdom of God. 

448
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:54,960
And that's why that joy seems to
resonate with him. 

449
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:59,280
I mean, it's supernatural. 
He doesn't have to try. 

450
00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:05,440
It's just there because that's 
part of the, you know, the 

451
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,600
anointing that's with the 
evangelist. 

452
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,560
Because again, when you're stuck
in the world in your sin, full 

453
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:15,240
of guilt, shame, depression, I 
mean, the joy of the Lord will 

454
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:19,120
break some stuff off Hallelujah,
Amen. 

455
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:23,120
Now, the good thing is just as a
St. you can tap into joy anyway,

456
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:26,960
Praise the Lord, you got to give
to it. 

457
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:34,280
Amen. 
Yes, yes, you do. 

458
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:35,800
So what does the evangelist do 
now? 

459
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:40,480
Listen, unlike what we see in 
the US And again, I, I say this 

460
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,600
because when you look at the 
Bible, the Bible's still alive 

461
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,000
and relevant today. 
In fact, it's already gone 

462
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,160
beyond the time we're in and 
have told us of things that is 

463
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,560
yet to come. 
So again, if that's the case, 

464
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,280
then you understand the five 
fold ministry, which is part of 

465
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,200
the church. 
None of those gifts have left. 

466
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,080
None of them. 
And let me just say it this way,

467
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:09,920
the gifts, how they function, 
then they'll function greater 

468
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,320
later. 
Now why do I say that? 

469
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:16,400
Because the early rain and the 
latter rain is different. 

470
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,040
So it's not that as the church 
comes to reach maturity, the 

471
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,200
fivefold ministry is not 
necessary. 

472
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:30,960
They'll have an increase of the 
anointing as well, not less. 

473
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,200
But the enemy wants to eliminate
those gifts. 

474
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:42,440
That way the Saints basically 
fend for themselves, and that's 

475
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,960
a whole nother process. 
But again, what's happened? 

476
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:52,280
Is it because the modern church 
has esteemed the pastor and the 

477
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:57,760
evangelist, but the evangelist 
only to go and not to be here? 

478
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,840
Because the first, the first 
mention of evangelist in the 

479
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:06,720
context of the church where it's
places in Ephesians 4 says the 

480
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,320
evangelist is for the equipment 
of the church, not for the 

481
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:14,240
winning of the lost. 
Now do they win the lost? 

482
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:18,600
Yes, but they have a role inside
because God never intended the 

483
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:24,680
fivefold ministry to not 
actually have roots in a local 

484
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:29,200
assembly. 
I mean, for you to say, well, I 

485
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,960
can't do my ministry unless I 
travel, well, that's not true. 

486
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,160
You can do the ministry you have
in your community. 

487
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,280
When you travel, you go on 
vacation or you go for some 

488
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,080
place, another place on a job 
assignment. 

489
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,880
I mean, you can be ministering 
all over the place. 

490
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,880
You can go on a mission trip. 
I mean, what's what limits your 

491
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:48,720
influence? 
That's right. 

492
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,200
Yeah. 
You can still come here where 

493
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,520
you live, be plugged in and do 
something amazing. 

494
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,360
But yet we've kind of treated 
the fivefold as we just need the

495
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,640
pastor, the evangelist. 
We don't even see them. 

496
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,640
In fact, if they're here, 
they're on the wrong assignment.

497
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,080
Yeah, the Ephesians 4 said 
they're supposed to be here. 

498
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,320
And the reason why local 
churches are having a hard time 

499
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,040
not being as effective in 
evangelism is because the gift 

500
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,920
is going out, and we're telling 
them to stay away. 

501
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:29,120
So they're going to big stadiums
to get people born again, but 

502
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:34,240
where are they going? 
Then you have the teachers who 

503
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:38,000
want to teach, but the church 
has become one service focused 

504
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:44,320
that wears the outlet. 
There's really no discipleship 

505
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,920
now. 
So you go to 1 service on 

506
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:52,320
Sunday, no midweek. 
I mean, we're talking the modern

507
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:56,840
US church, right? 
And small groups are not to 

508
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,280
really study. 
And if it is a study, it's 

509
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:07,080
really a it's, it's more of a 
preschool class for adults 

510
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,760
because it's really the 
fellowship we're going after. 

511
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,480
So the teacher gives light, 
well, if I'm going to actually 

512
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,360
get out what's in me, then I 
have to just be invited to a 

513
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:22,880
church to help supplement the 
pastor in teaching. 

514
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,400
And then we've just totally 
ignore the prophet and the 

515
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,280
apostle. 
Definitely the apostle, but the 

516
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,520
prophet, we only want that one 
around till we want a word. 

517
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,400
And it can only be a right word,
the one we're looking for. 

518
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,760
Amen. 
Because the true one can give 

519
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,400
you a word and then you'll be 
like, I ain't receiving that. 

520
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,560
Your faults when they're like, 
no, I'm real and you really need

521
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:51,160
to receive it. 
So, but what does evangelists 

522
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:52,080
do? 
What are they supposed to? 

523
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,560
They are to lead the way in 
evangelistic outreach. 

524
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,920
They are to model compassion. 
They are to proclaim the good 

525
00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:59,520
news. 
They are to seek to convert 

526
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:04,080
sinners, invite the community to
Christ and the church, operate 

527
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,320
spiritual gifts such as healing,
mobilize local evangelists, 

528
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:13,360
evangelists and organize public 
outreach, help plant churches 

529
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:18,679
and equip Saints to evangelize. 
The evangelist is not just doing

530
00:34:18,679 --> 00:34:21,239
big meetings. 
The evangelist will actually do 

531
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,719
one-on-one stuff. 
Yeah, that's right. 

532
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,520
And when they're home in their 
local body, doing what they're 

533
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:31,239
called to do and not actually 
doing a planned outreach, 

534
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:36,280
whether in the community or some
other place, they are 

535
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:40,960
functioning multi levels. 
And we'll see here in a minute 

536
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:45,760
the concept of multiple doors to
try to get people in the church,

537
00:34:46,199 --> 00:34:50,960
not to heaven. 
The true evangelist is not 

538
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,480
trying to get people to heaven. 
They're trying to get people to 

539
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:59,880
church to church. 
And again, we're modeling 

540
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:04,960
biblical things, not what we see
as trends. 

541
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:11,040
All right, so although everyone 
in the local church is not an 

542
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,440
evangelist, every Christian 
should be evangelistic. 

543
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,120
Why is that? 
Second Corinthians 517. 

544
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,240
OK, Second Corinthians 517 
Therefore, if anyone is in 

545
00:35:20,240 --> 00:35:22,080
Christ, he's a new creature. 
The old things passed away. 

546
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,320
Behold, behold, new things have 
come. 

547
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,640
Now all these things are from 
God, who reconciled us to 

548
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:32,880
himself through Christ and gave 
us the ministry of what's your 

549
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,000
ministry, Christ of 
reconciliation. 

550
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:43,600
So if you're not trying to 
reconcile, if you're not trying 

551
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:54,160
to bring harmony, unity, 
brotherly love, then you are 

552
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,520
negating the ministry of 
reconciliation. 

553
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:06,440
The devil comes to divide, to 
separate, to split, but an 

554
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:11,480
evangelistic St. will have a 
ministry of reconciliation. 

555
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,360
We need to reconcile. 
This is why I'm extremely 

556
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,680
cautious when I get around 
people who start to talk. 

557
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:18,720
I'm like, well, are you wanting 
to reconcile or what? 

558
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,320
Because if all you're doing is 
talking about what someone did 

559
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,240
or what someone did, and we're 
not trying to get to a 

560
00:36:25,240 --> 00:36:27,120
reconciliation, then we don't 
even need to have a 

561
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,880
conversation. 
Because you don't know what 

562
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:35,320
spirit you're of. 
Because a new creature in Christ

563
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:41,280
wants to reconcile the body, 
wants to reconcile the world to 

564
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:45,480
the church, wants to help grow 
the church, wants to help 

565
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,000
develop the church, not destroy 
the church. 

566
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:54,000
So Luke Chapter 9 verse one and 
two says this. 

567
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,760
And he called the 12 together 
and gave them power and 

568
00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:00,560
authority over the demons and to
heal diseases, and sent them out

569
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,520
to proclaim the Kingdom of God 
and to perform healings. 

570
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:08,000
So David Guzik, A commentary, he
said it this way. 

571
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:12,080
He said Jesus sent them to 
preach the Kingdom of God. 

572
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,800
To preach. 
To preach simply means to 

573
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:18,760
proclaim, to tell others in the 
sense of announcing news to 

574
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,880
them. 
The disciples went and the 

575
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:25,080
disciples were sent with the 
work of proclaiming that the 

576
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:29,040
Kingdom of God was present and 
what the character of the 

577
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:36,360
Kingdom was like #1 their work 
of preaching might happen in an 

578
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:40,120
open air meeting such as St. 
Corners or a marketplace. 

579
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:44,120
It might happen in synagogue as 
they found opportunity to speak.

580
00:37:44,240 --> 00:37:47,520
It might happen in a small 
groups or one-on-one 

581
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,040
conversations. 
Whatever the setting, the 

582
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,160
message was essentially here was
this, here was the message. 

583
00:37:53,560 --> 00:38:00,680
The King has arrived, Jesus the 
Messiah is present #2 His 

584
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:06,440
Kingdom is different from what 
you experienced, and His Kingdom

585
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,280
is different from what you 
expected. 

586
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:14,400
And the third thing, he gathers 
a Kingdom community of those who

587
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:21,120
will repent and believe. 
The goal is repent, Change your 

588
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:24,600
thinking. 
Again, we say, come as you are. 

589
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:31,160
You can't change you, but God 
will and expects you to change. 

590
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:37,840
He'll change you and then expect
you to renew your mind into this

591
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:45,640
new spirit man you are. 
So come as you are that mean 

592
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:47,520
Come as you are and stay as you 
are. 

593
00:38:48,720 --> 00:38:52,160
Come as you are means Die at the
door or the cross. 

594
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:57,240
Die at the cross, die at the 
cross. 

595
00:38:57,800 --> 00:38:59,760
You come to the cross and you 
die. 

596
00:38:59,920 --> 00:39:03,080
It's no longer I who lives, but 
Christ lives in me. 

597
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:07,600
I have crucified myself. 
Christ didn't do it. 

598
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:11,840
I did it because He already 
crucified himself for me. 

599
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:18,080
I cannot come to Him like I am 
in my sins, separated, but I can

600
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:22,560
come to Him, acknowledge that 
that's what I am, and I don't 

601
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,520
want that. 
And I'll take what He is giving 

602
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,800
away. 
So when he says you want it, die

603
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,160
here. 
And I said I'm dead, you're 

604
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,720
Lord. 
I died of myself. 

605
00:39:34,720 --> 00:39:36,880
I died of my will. 
I died of my ambitions. 

606
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:38,840
I died of my idea of how to 
serve you. 

607
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:42,240
I died of my idea of church. 
I died of my idea of religion. 

608
00:39:42,240 --> 00:39:45,880
I died all of it. 
And I come seek you and then 

609
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:50,440
he'll come in me, He'll speak to
me and he'll train me his ways 

610
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,160
that I'll be like, I got to get 
rid of that. 

611
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:53,920
I got to get rid of that. 
I got to change this. 

612
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,960
I got to change that. 
I'm going to change all of these

613
00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:01,000
things because I am going to 
serve you as a faithful disciple

614
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:07,960
and an evangelist is compelling 
by the Spirit people to accept 

615
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:17,120
that lifestyle. 
Every message in the Bible can 

616
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:21,880
be what we call we term 
religiously watered down, and we

617
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,680
use this term watered down 
because it's like we're saying 

618
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,560
just enough to try to give you a
little bit of hope about 

619
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,360
something, but not so much that 
you get offended and leave. 

620
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:32,800
Listen, if you can get offended 
and leave, then he's probably 

621
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:37,680
not Lord, right? 
That's right, it's probably not 

622
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,400
Lord anyway. 
Hallelujah. 

623
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,720
Because what can the Lord say to
me to change that? 

624
00:40:42,720 --> 00:40:45,880
It would offend me. 
I mean, it offends. 

625
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:47,520
I get it. 
He said my word offends. 

626
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,800
But if I say but your word is 
life, so I'll get rid of that. 

627
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:56,080
I'll humble myself to your way 
of doing Amen. 

628
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,200
In Luke chapter 10 verse one 
through 2, it says it this way. 

629
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,920
Now after this, the Lord 
appointed 70 others and sent 

630
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:06,200
them in pairs ahead of him to 
every city and place where he 

631
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:09,040
himself was going to come. 
And he was saying to them the 

632
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:13,720
harvest is plentiful, plentiful,
but the laborers are are few. 

633
00:41:13,720 --> 00:41:16,520
Therefore precedes the Lord of 
the harvest to send out laborers

634
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,840
in the harvest. 
It seems to me, it appears I 

635
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,960
can't. 
I'm not being emphatic about 

636
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:26,240
this. 
I just said it seems that this 

637
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:32,840
fivefold call to evangelism or 
to be an evangelist maybe a 

638
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:39,000
little less on Saints than the 
other 4, meaning the amount of 

639
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:42,920
people in the office. 
Now, I'm not saying that that is

640
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:46,240
is is absolute truth. 
I cannot confirm that. 

641
00:41:46,240 --> 00:41:50,600
I just know that Philip is the 
only one labeled as one. 

642
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,640
We understand that there has to 
be others. 

643
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:59,080
I get it. 
But it's just that the apostle, 

644
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:04,880
when he steps out to launch, 
will do the work of the 

645
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:09,760
evangelist. 
We also understand a pastor will

646
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:16,560
do the work of the evangelist. 
OK, So those two offices can at 

647
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:22,840
times through grace functioned 
in those offices. 

648
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:27,040
And then as Saints, we all have 
the ministry of reconciliation. 

649
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:31,640
It could be that the Lord's like
the majority of the evangelism 

650
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,160
is going to happen among the 
Saints anyway. 

651
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:45,800
But a true evangelist gift will 
get keep you hot, will keep you 

652
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,360
hot. 
In essence they're like how in 

653
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:51,120
the world can you not be 
concerned about your Co worker 

654
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:55,880
who's going to hell that they do
not have a life with God they 

655
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:59,280
have they are not living up to 
their potential of why they were

656
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:03,560
born. 
That you'll no longer be 

657
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:08,640
complacent just to see them 
every day without showing them 

658
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:11,280
the Kingdom. 
Now, I'm not saying you're going

659
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,840
to talk to them every day. 
I'm not going to say that you're

660
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:17,000
going to say, you know, hey, do 
I need to pray with you? 

661
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:18,720
Do you don't want to make Jesus 
Lord today? 

662
00:43:18,720 --> 00:43:20,680
I'm just asking again for the 
umpteenth time. 

663
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,520
I'm not saying that because 
again, he's the Lord of the 

664
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:25,800
harvest. 
He knows where the harvest is. 

665
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:28,000
He knows when they're ready to 
be picked. 

666
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:31,640
It's so important to hear the 
Spirit of God because sometimes 

667
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:34,560
you can say something damage the
potential of fruit. 

668
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,800
Many people are struggling to 
get into the Kingdom because we 

669
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:46,320
have Saints who have not been 
trained by the evangelists to be

670
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:51,800
able to tactfully communicate 
the Kingdom of God to them in a 

671
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:55,240
way that causes them to be 
confronted with their sin. 

672
00:43:55,240 --> 00:43:59,360
Listen, you're never going to do
radiation or chemotherapy unless

673
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,720
the doctor first says you have 
cancer. 

674
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:05,240
I mean, who goes into the 
hospital and say, you know what,

675
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,840
I want to take a round of chemo,
Karen, I'm going to come in next

676
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:09,680
week. 
I'm going to take a round of 

677
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:11,720
chemo. 
You're like, pastor, why you 

678
00:44:11,720 --> 00:44:14,240
taking chemo? 
You know, no one's told me I had

679
00:44:14,240 --> 00:44:16,000
cancer, but everybody's getting 
it. 

680
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,400
So I just want to take a round. 
I mean, who does that? 

681
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:27,320
Nobody does that but the minute 
you hear I'm talking about 

682
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:29,680
somebody in the world for sure. 
Cuz as a believer your first 

683
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:31,880
option should be by his stripes.
I were healed. 

684
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:33,640
Is there anything else you want 
me to do? 

685
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:37,560
I'm already healed. 
If I need to do a process you 

686
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:40,560
let me know cuz the process is 
then protected cuz I'm following

687
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:46,000
you at your word right? 
I'd never discount natural 

688
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:50,320
medicine cuz if God speaks to 
you about something you stay 

689
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:53,000
with his word. 
More people have gone to the 

690
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:58,520
grave because they say they 
believe when they really are 

691
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:02,440
struggling and a little bit of 
natural will help them get to a 

692
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:09,560
full persuasion can help them. 
And sometimes the Lord just 

693
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:13,680
wants you in front of a doctor 
like Megan believe in God yet 

694
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:15,960
it's not moving. 
She gets in front of the doctor 

695
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:18,120
and they said we're going to do 
surgery right now. 

696
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:25,600
She could have said, well, 
where's God in all this when the

697
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:27,840
harvest could have been the 
doctor. 

698
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,640
God may have just wanted to 
testify to that doctor through 

699
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:38,000
Megan's body. 
Hallelujah. 

700
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:39,800
You thought you were going to do
surgery. 

701
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:42,280
She was going to follow up with 
it. 

702
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:48,720
But God, now, I mean, again, 
they've got the evidence there 

703
00:45:48,720 --> 00:45:49,920
they are. 
We're going to have to go in 

704
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:51,520
here and clean all that up. 
You see that, Megan? 

705
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:52,920
Here it is right here. 
There it is. 

706
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:56,200
That's what we got to deal with.
We got to 123-4533. 

707
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:57,760
I don't know, I'm just baking 
up, right? 

708
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,280
There's things here happening 
and we're going to bring you 

709
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:01,120
back in. 
We're going to do it. 

710
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:02,960
Then they say, OK, you're ready.
We're going to do this. 

711
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:04,640
We got it. 
We got our little sheet here. 

712
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:06,720
We know where we're going. 
And then they're like, well, 

713
00:46:06,720 --> 00:46:08,600
there's nothing there. 
And that, that one, well, let me

714
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:11,040
look here. 
Where's, where is this stuff? 

715
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:18,040
So when they can say to her, 
well, it looks like they just 

716
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:23,280
dissolved on their own, she can 
say, no, I had hands laid on me 

717
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:27,120
in the name of Jesus at church 
and Jesus healed my body. 

718
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:33,600
Now there's a testimony. 
And, you know, some people will 

719
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:37,840
go to a grave because they don't
see that this is an opportunity 

720
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:45,080
to evangelize. 
Hallelujah. 

721
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:46,560
I'm never going to go to a 
doctor. 

722
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:49,720
I mean, I don't want to go, but 
if the Lord says go, I'll go 

723
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,080
because I know there's a 
testimony beyond me. 

724
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:57,280
Amen. 
Even if it's the testimony you 

725
00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:58,640
actually put, go through the 
surgery. 

726
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:02,240
Like we're praying this is going
to be the best surgery ever. 

727
00:47:02,240 --> 00:47:03,600
It's going to be so easy for 
you. 

728
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:07,920
Like Marissa's shoulder. 
This is going to be the best one

729
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:09,560
ever. 
Testified to it. 

730
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:11,320
And then they come out, it was 
the best one. 

731
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,200
I said that's what I this 
because God was it. 

732
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:17,200
They they won't listen. 
They may not testify to you, but

733
00:47:17,240 --> 00:47:20,040
people know when they've had an 
encounter with God. 

734
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:23,360
No one will stand before Jesus 
one day and say, man, I didn't 

735
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:26,400
even know you were around. 
That will not exist. 

736
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:29,640
It says they are without excuse,
right? 

737
00:47:29,720 --> 00:47:32,680
I mean, seriously, Keith, how 
many times were you testifying 

738
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:36,680
of God to these individuals? 
Now they can say no, but his 

739
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:40,200
presence was in the room. 
You have exceeded things for 

740
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:42,400
them and you're giving credit to
Jesus. 

741
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:45,080
They may say, well, I don't 
believe that, but they'll stand 

742
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:48,280
before holy God and you have 
testified on his account. 

743
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:53,800
That's evangelism because it 
could be somebody says man, that

744
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:57,200
had to be God. 
Now, we may not see the harvest 

745
00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:02,040
of Megan's surgeon, but one day 
that surgeon could be somewhere 

746
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:05,360
else and saying I'm born again 
today because I'll never forget 

747
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:11,280
this patient. 
Hallelujah. 

748
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:14,600
I said Hallelujah. 
Now, whether there's an equal 

749
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:17,320
amount of evangelist to the rest
really doesn't matter. 

750
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:22,080
I'm just saying that we all have
a strong participation in this. 

751
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:30,520
Now I'm going to say this. 
Saints can prophecy by the 

752
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:33,240
gifts, but it doesn't make them 
a prophet. 

753
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:41,560
Saints can study and become well
knowledgeable of the Word, but 

754
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:44,680
that does not make them a 
fivefold minister, teacher, or a

755
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:49,000
pastor. 
In fact, there doesn't seem to 

756
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:52,680
be any other gift that the 
Saints can be more closely 

757
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:59,840
related to or even insinuate 
that they can do as the other 

758
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:04,120
gifts. 
Not the apostle, prophet, pastor

759
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:10,720
or teacher, but the evangelist. 
You have a ministry relatively 

760
00:49:10,720 --> 00:49:15,560
close to that anointing. 
But what does Saints do? 

761
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:20,880
They think they can pastor. 
They think they can be the 

762
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:25,440
prophet. 
They think they can be the the 

763
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:33,480
in depth teacher or they think 
they can be which one did I miss

764
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:35,720
out already? 
The apostle. 

765
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:41,640
Now you might run a real close 
line to the evangelist. 

766
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:44,280
And really what's going to be 
the separation? 

767
00:49:45,720 --> 00:49:49,040
These evangelist when they 
minister, people will get born 

768
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:52,480
again in such a way that you'll 
be in awe of how easy that is. 

769
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:56,120
Hallelujah. 
And then the flow of the 

770
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:59,360
supernatural be on a larger 
scale than what you would do on 

771
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:07,640
an individual scale. 
So when it comes to this, he 

772
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:09,840
said that the harvest is great, 
but the laborers refuse. 

773
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:12,720
So again, he's like the 
evangelist gift is to keep you 

774
00:50:12,720 --> 00:50:16,480
passionate because when you get 
into the Kingdom of God and you 

775
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:19,440
begin to experience his 
blessings, His provision, all 

776
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:23,000
these awesome things, right, 
then you can forget about the 

777
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:26,120
world. 
In fact, the world will make you

778
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:28,560
feel like well, I don't even 
want to be around that you 

779
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:35,360
you're so disconnected from the 
contaminants, the darkness and 

780
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:41,520
the way people respond and and 
you listen, you become you 

781
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:45,080
desire with the right motive to 
walk holy, blameless and 

782
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:47,520
righteous that when you hear 
ungodliness, you're like, 

783
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:55,960
because you understand sin to 
God is God around sinners is not

784
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:58,600
going. 
Oh, you guys are so awesome. 

785
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:06,880
No, his heart is I need to 
deliver you and I want to come 

786
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:09,840
out. 
That's his heart. 

787
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:13,320
That's his love toward not all I
accept you. 

788
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:19,280
That's not what he's doing. 
He's like, I mean, I, I can't 

789
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:22,760
even be around this, but if 
you'll call on the name of 

790
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:25,280
Jesus, I don't want you there 
anymore. 

791
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:28,600
I'm so compassionate for you. 
I want to see you change. 

792
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:30,840
That's why I sent so and so and 
sent so and so. 

793
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:33,680
That's why I'm speaking to you. 
That's why this is happening. 

794
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:38,360
Because man, I do not want you 
in this gross darkness anymore. 

795
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:44,240
Because if you continue your 
course, wrath is being stored 

796
00:51:44,240 --> 00:51:47,200
up. 
And I don't want to release the 

797
00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:51,560
wrath on you. 
I want you to repent coming to 

798
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:57,240
the family because man, I just 
can't stand the side of 

799
00:51:57,240 --> 00:51:59,680
fornication. 
I cannot stand the sight. 

800
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:04,240
And as believers, we're like, 
but you understand the 

801
00:52:04,240 --> 00:52:06,600
adventures be like, but I have 
to have compassion for that 

802
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:08,440
person. 
We got to recognize the road 

803
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:10,800
they're on is bad. 
We've got to be a light shine 

804
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:14,280
and said, hey, turn around, 
Something can be different. 

805
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:20,960
That's why we have to have that 
evangelist gift in the local 

806
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:24,520
body to keep us passionate about
those that are outside the 

807
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:30,400
church so that when we see them,
we're not repulsed at their sin 

808
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:33,440
and then won't talk to them. 
But we can say this isn't what 

809
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:35,920
God designed. 
Now how do you want me to talk 

810
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:37,680
and shine a light on this 
situation? 

811
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:46,880
Why is that? 
Because the local church, you 

812
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:49,600
got to see it as a great 
building with some doors, and 

813
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:54,080
each door represents an 
appealing way to draw some some 

814
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:58,480
types of people into the church.
Realize the more entrances you 

815
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:01,080
make into the building, the more
people can come in. 

816
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:05,400
Multiply the doors opening into 
the church. 

817
00:53:05,720 --> 00:53:10,120
This is why we as an apostle, 
I'm always given a call to 

818
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:18,280
action Why? 
Because everyone of you has this

819
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:21,600
ministry, the ministry of 
reconciliation. 

820
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:26,800
And as an apostle, I'm deploying
that grace on your life. 

821
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:33,680
And we're looking for doors when
God sent us Don and his wife 

822
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:39,560
here. 
OK, Michelle, things they did in

823
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:42,280
the community in Arkansas, they 
communicated to us and we're 

824
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:45,280
like, where are some of the out?
We were doing one particular 

825
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:47,520
thing. 
We're like that gifting to 

826
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:51,280
deploy the ministry of 
reconciliation through them best

827
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:56,160
serves and dining with dignity. 
And we transitioned them into 

828
00:53:56,240 --> 00:53:59,360
take that particular area 
ministry And now we have 3 four 

829
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:02,880
teams that associate. 
I mean, we have why do we feed 

830
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:08,800
people one time a month? 
It's a door, It's a door. 

831
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:11,800
Why do we do West Augustine? 
It's a door. 

832
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:15,200
When? 
When the county calls on, it's a

833
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:18,000
door. 
Family counts, it's a door. 

834
00:54:18,720 --> 00:54:21,040
Post Abortion recovery, it's a 
door. 

835
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:23,080
Anchor Faith Live classes, it's 
a door. 

836
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:26,920
Conferences, it's a door. 
Mom Squad, it's a door. 

837
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:29,520
In a mirror. 
Varsity league, it's a door. 

838
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:34,600
Softball, it's a door. 
Well, they're just asking us to 

839
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:36,480
do something. 
No, I'm trying to release your 

840
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:41,440
ministry because I care about 
the community and I can't be 

841
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:44,440
everywhere. 
I can't go to every store, every

842
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:46,760
coffee shop, can't go to every 
restaurant. 

843
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:49,880
I can't stand in the corner of 
Saint George Street and say 

844
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:55,200
Jesus Christ is coming, man. 
But you can. 

845
00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:59,600
You got coworkers every day that
you know, man, if God came back 

846
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:03,120
today and they drop dead, they'd
be in hell for eternity. 

847
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:06,320
They'd be they're they're going 
to be cast into the lake of 

848
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:10,320
fire. 
Doesn't that inspire something 

849
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:14,520
in us to say, God, how can I get
to this person now? 

850
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:20,120
No, some you're not. 
The Bible says that the gates of

851
00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:25,760
hell widen, but you're still 
supposed to be the witness. 

852
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:30,840
That's why I gave you power. 
Anyway, the reason why the the 

853
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:34,680
power of the Holy Spirit was 
poured out in Acts was not so 

854
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:38,720
that you would feel good is so 
that you would have power when 

855
00:55:38,720 --> 00:55:42,240
you witnessed through your 
ministry of reconciliation and 

856
00:55:42,240 --> 00:55:44,000
you could demonstrate the 
Kingdom of God. 

857
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:47,000
Steven, how many more customers 
are you going to? 

858
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:50,680
Is God going to give you the 
opportunity to come by and to 

859
00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:53,880
speak to? 
I mean, some of your clientele 

860
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:57,360
may be the very ones that the 
wealth of the wicked is laid up 

861
00:55:57,360 --> 00:56:02,640
for the righteous. 
And I mean, it's because they 

862
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:06,320
get born again and what was used
to be unrighteous, ma'am and in 

863
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:10,680
their hands becomes righteous 
ma'am and in their hands only 

864
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:14,640
because your integrity and and 
and and and doing the right work

865
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:17,760
and, and your presentation and 
how you're doing with the 

866
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:21,800
Kingdom of God. 
These are doors, the doors to 

867
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:26,280
the church is already the place 
you work unless you're not 

868
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:35,240
representing right at work. 
That's why Mark 1615 and 16, we 

869
00:56:35,240 --> 00:56:37,600
close with this verse told you 
at least 30 minutes. 

870
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:43,640
And he said to them, go into all
the world and preach the gospel 

871
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:46,520
to all creation. 
He who has believed in me and 

872
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:49,760
has been baptized will be saved 
from the penalty of God's wrath 

873
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:55,000
and judgment, but he who has not
believed will be condemned. 

874
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:58,000
So we are to go into all the 
world to preach the gospel. 

875
00:56:58,000 --> 00:56:59,480
What is the gospel or the good 
news? 

876
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:01,440
Because gospel means good news. 
What is the good news? 

877
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:03,360
The Kingdom of God in the name 
of Jesus. 

878
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:08,000
And we are to preach this 
through the ministry of 

879
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:11,160
reconciliation. 
But the gift of the evangelist 

880
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:17,080
will keep you hot. 
And then we'll have the 

881
00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:20,080
anointing to organize so that we
can do more. 

882
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:24,960
Pastor Jack Meyer, because he 
does pastor church and plant 

883
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:27,880
city. 
However, he isn't an evangelist.

884
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:33,360
So Jack Meyer, the evangelist 
goes into other nations where 

885
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:37,360
Roddy Shaffer, the evangelist 
goes into other communities 

886
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:41,640
attached to other local churches
that after they do an outreach 

887
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:45,000
and people get born again, they 
are there to help assimilate 

888
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:48,120
them into the church. 
Can't make them come, but the 

889
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:50,560
church is there to represent. 
We will receive you. 

890
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:52,520
We want you to come. 
We want you to be there. 

891
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:55,080
And someone that truly gets born
again, they're going to be at 

892
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:58,800
that church period. 
Not going to say they'll stay 

893
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:01,000
there for the rest of their 
lives, but I am saying they'll 

894
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:02,640
go to that church. 
OK. 

895
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:05,520
And and, and Roddy the 
Evangelist is not doing an 

896
00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:08,920
outreach unless a church is 
represented in the community. 

897
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:12,320
Jack Myers the Evangelist does 
the same thing in the other 

898
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:15,640
countries. 
So we're Roddy the Evangelist is

899
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:19,840
doing it with crowds of, you 
know, hundreds, even to 1000, 

900
00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:23,400
maybe 2000. 
Jack Myers the Evangelist is 

901
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:29,800
doing 30 to 40,000. 
But when he does them, he has 

902
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:33,800
church pastors there. 
That way when people are born 

903
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:37,360
again and being healed, because 
when the evangelist is 

904
00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:40,360
functioning, that's happening. 
They're bringing people up on 

905
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:43,000
the platform and their crutches 
are being thrown. 

906
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:50,040
Are you hearing me? 
But he's doing this because he 

907
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:54,040
has someone on the ground that 
knows the pastors that 

908
00:58:54,040 --> 00:59:00,680
coordinate next year, 2026. 
So get your passports because 

909
00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:06,040
January the 11th, 2026 is the 
first public service of Anchor 

910
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:11,880
Faith Church Dominican Republic.
This is first public service 

911
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:19,800
October that same year. 
I am partnering with Jack Myers,

912
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:24,040
the evangelist, and we're going 
to go do a evangelistic crusade 

913
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:26,760
for Anchor Faith Church, 
Dominican Republic. 

914
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:31,000
And we're going to need some 
help to distribute things to go 

915
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:33,680
into the communities, to knock 
on doors to gather them. 

916
00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:38,840
They expect this to be anywhere 
from 2 to 5000 people so that 

917
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:43,280
those that are born again, we 
can say welcome to Anchor Faith 

918
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:46,600
Church. 
Are you hearing me? 

919
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:50,640
Amen. 
So we'll let you know the 

920
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:53,240
details as they come. 
We definitely want people to to 

921
00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:57,320
go on that trip so that we can 
evangelize into that country so 

922
00:59:57,320 --> 01:00:01,640
that as Pastor Rick and Carla 
launch Anchor Faith Church, 

923
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:05,240
preach the Kingdom of God into 
that nation, all glory to God. 

924
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:07,480
It's going to be so exciting. 
We're going to go into all the 

925
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:09,520
world with them and help that 
process. 

926
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:16,000
Amen. 
So let's stay stirred up. 

927
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:18,520
Amen. 
I said let's stay stirred up. 

928
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:24,520
Know there are people that are 
going into the lake of fire and 

929
01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:26,240
you need to make sure you're a 
light. 

930
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:33,120
Don't let them go quietly. 
Be the witness. 

931
01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:40,840
Two things need to occur that 
when they stand before the Lord 

932
01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:45,880
at the great White Throne 
judgment, if they have not 

933
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:51,080
confessed Jesus as Lord, that 
when the Lord opens the books of

934
01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:56,560
their sin, He'll say, I want to 
talk to you about this time of 

935
01:00:56,560 --> 01:00:58,680
rejection and rebellion of my 
word. 

936
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:06,640
When did that happen? 
Well, and he'll have the 

937
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:13,840
details. 
Well, I had TJ during that 

938
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:20,680
hurricane, when the lines were 
down, He came by your house and 

939
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:30,850
he showed you the Kingdom. 
You see what I'm saying? 

940
01:01:30,850 --> 01:01:34,970
And you rejected it. 
You thought your life was 

941
01:01:34,970 --> 01:01:37,210
miserable. 
And he shared with you about my 

942
01:01:37,210 --> 01:01:40,650
son Jesus, because I let him 
there. 

943
01:01:41,370 --> 01:01:44,210
He was there to do more than 
just hook up regular power. 

944
01:01:44,930 --> 01:01:47,610
He was there to hook up Holy 
Ghost power. 

945
01:01:49,250 --> 01:01:53,280
Don't let him go quietly. 
But on the flip side, when 

946
01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:56,120
they're standing before the 
judgment seat of Christ and they

947
01:01:56,120 --> 01:01:59,280
open up the book and they see 
their names written in the 

948
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:01,680
Lamb's book alive, and they say,
ah, I see you're on the Lamb's 

949
01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:04,600
Book of Life. 
Tell me your testimony. 

950
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:11,200
Let me tell you what happened. 
It was a hurricane, and there 

951
01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:16,640
was a guy by the name of TJ who 
came by my house, and I just 

952
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:21,200
thought he was hooking up power,
But he gave me a power I didn't 

953
01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:25,600
know nothing of. 
He led me to you, and I followed

954
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:29,920
you the rest of my days. 
And the Lord's going to turn 

955
01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:38,280
over to TJ and say, here's your 
crown, crown of life. 

956
01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:44,240
Think about that. 
Let us stir up that passion for 

957
01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:47,400
the lost. 
Because if we had it, honestly, 

958
01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:50,440
building's irrelevant. 
We're not. 

959
01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:52,560
It doesn't even matter about 
seats anymore. 

960
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:57,480
We just pack it in wherever. 
Because people who love God 

961
01:02:57,520 --> 01:03:01,960
don't care about seats. 
They care about his presence and

962
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:05,560
fellowship with the other 
believers and taking over 

963
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:06,280
communities.
