WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.200 Kia ora, Embassy whānau. How are we this morning? Sorry, just getting myself ready. 2 00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:15.360 Can you see that board? Okay, better go to there later on. 3 00:00:15.360 --> 00:00:25.200 Hallelujah, this is the day the Lord has made, amen? Praise God. Well, straight into 4 00:00:25.200 --> 00:00:35.560 it. This is day two of the free 30-day warrior activist course teachings. And hey guys, if 5 00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:39.480 you feel that there are others that could benefit by this teaching of this 30 days, 6 00:00:39.480 --> 00:00:44.520 please feel free to share it and to invite your mates to sort of hook on. I'm only doing 7 00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:49.640 it through the Embassy site, so that'll be cool. I want to, why am I doing this? I want 8 00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:54.600 to sow into the body of Christ at this time. This is an unprecedented time. We won't have 9 00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:59.080 a time like this again. There will be things happening in the earth, but this is an unprecedented 10 00:00:59.080 --> 00:01:05.880 time. Hey, I was just saying to our church before in our daily devotions that I love 11 00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:10.120 the old, the words of the old song from Keith Green, Oh Lord, you're beautiful. Your face 12 00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:15.320 is all I see. For when your eyes are upon this child, your grace abounds to me. And 13 00:01:15.320 --> 00:01:20.440 then it goes on to say, Oh Lord, please light the fire that once burned bright and clear. 14 00:01:20.440 --> 00:01:25.400 Replace the lamp of my first love that burns with holy fear. Well, guess what? We don't 15 00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:30.320 have to sing that song anymore. This time of seeking, of locked in with Jesus, that's 16 00:01:30.320 --> 00:01:36.120 what's going to come out of this. That fire is going to burn with holy, fresh, new, holy, 17 00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:44.200 zeal for God. And this is the time. This is the moment. Now, whanau, just to recap homework 18 00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:50.000 from yesterday. So you need to understand that I'm a dewy, dewy person, not a hooey, 19 00:01:50.080 --> 00:01:58.160 hooey person. I am just over sitting in workshops, conferences, seminars. Unless it turns into 20 00:01:58.160 --> 00:02:02.960 action, I'm not interested. I want to do the stuff I want. Sure, you've got to be taught. 21 00:02:02.960 --> 00:02:06.800 There's teachings, there's conferences that are great that I go to. But if it's all of 22 00:02:06.800 --> 00:02:12.400 it, it's just talking. I'm not interested. I'm into doing it. So in Maori, we call it 23 00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:17.240 hooey, hooey, which means meetings, meetings, meetings. But I'm into dewy, dewy. Get out 24 00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:22.720 there and do what you learn. Sure, there's a time to learn, there's a time to do. So 25 00:02:22.720 --> 00:02:28.360 I can't hold you accountable for the homework that I'm giving you online. And that's the 26 00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:33.320 difference with the two day course. I can hold you accountable. You are there with practical 27 00:02:33.320 --> 00:02:37.440 application and you get to do the things. I get to see that you're applying what you're 28 00:02:37.440 --> 00:02:42.600 learning and I can take you to the next steps. But online, I can't do that. So, but it's 29 00:02:42.600 --> 00:02:47.960 my grace, it's up to you. So here's the homework assignment. Yesterday, you had to do a memory 30 00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:54.040 verse, which was Luke 4.18. And you had to put your name there. The Spirit of the Lord 31 00:02:54.040 --> 00:03:00.280 God is upon, you put your name. For he has anointed, and you put your name, to preach 32 00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:06.320 good news to the poor. And put your name again. He is to heal the broken hearted. So I would 33 00:03:06.320 --> 00:03:10.720 say the Spirit of the Lord is upon Norm. He's anointed Norm to preach good news to the poor. 34 00:03:10.720 --> 00:03:15.040 And for Norm to go around healing the broken hearted. And to preach. And so you put your 35 00:03:15.040 --> 00:03:25.880 name there. So I taught yesterday on information, meditation, information, meditation. Meditation 36 00:03:25.880 --> 00:03:30.360 turns information into revelation. And then revelation, application, application, and 37 00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:35.840 manifestation. I'm going to add something there. Okay. Information is when you read 38 00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:42.360 the word. Meditation is when you meditate, you get the revelation. Then don't go to application, 39 00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:50.000 go to declaration. Declaration. So here's your homework for the next 14 days. Right? 40 00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:57.240 I want you to say three times a day, every meal time. I want you to declare Luke 4.18 41 00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:03.280 with your name. The Spirit of the Lord God is upon. You have anointed to preach good 42 00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:08.080 news to the poor. To heal the broken hearted. You put your name there. Write it down and 43 00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:15.160 speak that out. Probably about five, six, seven times a time. Every meal time. Speak 44 00:04:15.160 --> 00:04:21.399 it out seven times. Even all through the day. Just declare Luke 4.18 with your name in it. 45 00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:26.240 Why? Because I'm telling you to do it. Because I'm a father. I'm a mentor. I'm a teacher. 46 00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:30.500 I'm an equipper. I'm a trainer. Just do it. And I'll tell you why. Because faith comes 47 00:04:30.500 --> 00:04:35.100 by hearing and hearing the word of God. If you want to know more why, go to day one and 48 00:04:35.100 --> 00:04:40.260 you can look at that teaching there. And so that's your 14 days homework starts from today. 49 00:04:40.260 --> 00:04:45.660 Start declaring seven times, every meal time, seven times start declaring Luke 4.18 over 50 00:04:45.660 --> 00:04:51.380 your life. And as you do, there's a metamorphosis is taking place. A spiritual transformation 51 00:04:51.380 --> 00:04:56.620 will take place. That the very things you're beginning to declare, your faith is rising. 52 00:04:56.620 --> 00:05:00.460 And even if you don't believe it, you'll find out after that time. 53 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.880 Boom, faith will just drop into your heart and you will know you won't think you're anointed. 54 00:05:04.880 --> 00:05:07.560 You will know that the Lord has anointed you. 55 00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:09.800 You will know that the Spirit of the Lord is upon you. 56 00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.780 You will know that he's anointed you to preach the good news to the poor. 57 00:05:12.780 --> 00:05:15.360 You will know he's anointed you to heal the brokenhearted. 58 00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.320 You will know he's anointed you to lay hands on the sick and they'll recover. 59 00:05:18.320 --> 00:05:19.320 You will know. 60 00:05:19.320 --> 00:05:25.920 Okay, so that's the homework, that will lead, the dewey dewey will lead into the manifestation. 61 00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:29.680 If it's just watching and saying, that's a good word, big tick, it's not going to help 62 00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:30.680 you. 63 00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:33.600 Jesus said, it's not hearing the word of God that's going to bless us. 64 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:36.740 It's they that hear the word and apply the word. 65 00:05:36.740 --> 00:05:37.740 That's the blessing. 66 00:05:37.740 --> 00:05:39.000 That's called wisdom. 67 00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:44.120 Knowledge is just knowing stuff, but wisdom, Jesus says in Matthew seven, I think it's 68 00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:45.840 verse 24 around that. 69 00:05:45.840 --> 00:05:50.680 He says that wisdom, that when you hear my words and apply them, you're like the wise 70 00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:53.200 man who built his house upon the rock. 71 00:05:53.200 --> 00:05:56.840 And but the one who hears my word that doesn't apply it is like the foolish man to build 72 00:05:56.840 --> 00:05:58.400 his house upon the sand. 73 00:05:58.400 --> 00:06:00.320 And so knowledge is not going to build you up. 74 00:06:00.320 --> 00:06:01.480 Knowledge is not going to help you. 75 00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:03.080 Knowledge is just information. 76 00:06:03.080 --> 00:06:07.280 It's, but when you apply that knowledge and you put that knowledge into practice, and 77 00:06:07.280 --> 00:06:09.220 then it becomes wisdom, wisdom. 78 00:06:09.220 --> 00:06:11.400 So hearing my words, I'm going to bless you. 79 00:06:11.400 --> 00:06:14.500 But applying the words that I teach you, it's going to bring wisdom, it's going to bring 80 00:06:14.500 --> 00:06:16.600 blessing in your life. 81 00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:24.800 So okay, what else do I have to day to recap yesterday's memory verse. 82 00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:33.640 Okay, kapai, whānau, as I said yesterday, we're on a journey. 83 00:06:33.640 --> 00:06:37.840 I don't know many of you, and many of you don't know me, but we're on a journey. 84 00:06:37.840 --> 00:06:42.200 And Ezekiel 47, there was a river that flowed out from the east gate from the from the temple 85 00:06:42.200 --> 00:06:48.760 of God and each, and that river grew to different levels to ankle depth, to knee depth, to waist 86 00:06:48.760 --> 00:06:49.760 depth, to over the head. 87 00:06:49.760 --> 00:06:53.800 And I believe that over this 30 days, we're on a journey, you and I, we're on a journey 88 00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:55.240 with Holy Spirit. 89 00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:58.280 And some of us are going to go to different levels. 90 00:06:58.280 --> 00:07:01.100 And it could be because we're all at different places in God. 91 00:07:01.100 --> 00:07:06.360 My desire is that I will help take you to a deeper depth, a deeper level with Jesus, 92 00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:12.960 a deeper depth, a deeper level with Holy Spirit, a deeper depth and a deeper level of relationship 93 00:07:12.960 --> 00:07:15.020 and identity with Jesus. 94 00:07:15.020 --> 00:07:17.160 So that's our journey. 95 00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:21.960 So today, I was praying yesterday, what what what? 96 00:07:21.960 --> 00:07:22.960 What will I teach Lord? 97 00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:28.000 I mean, I've got a lot of stuff I can teach, but and, you know, the thought came, well, 98 00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:34.600 I've got to make sure that everyone's watching knows Jesus that everyone's watching is saved. 99 00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:37.800 And you think how basic is that I'm already saved, I've been saved for years. 100 00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:41.000 Yeah, well, praise God, thank God for that. 101 00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:45.320 But you know what, there'll be some people watching, and they don't have the assurance 102 00:07:45.320 --> 00:07:47.960 of salvation. 103 00:07:47.960 --> 00:07:52.160 The Apostle John said, I think it's 1 John 5, 17, or 14. 104 00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:56.920 These things, the Bible, these things are written that we might know we have eternal 105 00:07:56.920 --> 00:07:57.920 life. 106 00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:01.000 You'll be surprised the number of Christians who don't know whether they've got eternal 107 00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:02.000 life or not. 108 00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:03.680 And they've been going to church for years. 109 00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:07.920 And we're meant to have this assurance knowing that we have eternal life. 110 00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:12.720 And so I'm going to, this sounds really weird, but I'm going to do something so simple, so 111 00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:16.240 basic, but I'm going to go through the, I'm going to share the gospel with you. 112 00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:22.800 I'm going to share five points of how you can know you're saved, because I don't want 113 00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:26.000 to be teaching stuff to people who aren't saved. 114 00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:30.480 There might be only one or two or three, but I don't want to be teaching about the principles 115 00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:36.280 of heaven, about the presence of Jesus, about his love, and people haven't actually connected 116 00:08:36.280 --> 00:08:37.280 their lives to Jesus. 117 00:08:37.280 --> 00:08:38.280 I don't want to do that. 118 00:08:38.280 --> 00:08:39.520 That's just stupid. 119 00:08:39.520 --> 00:08:43.440 So on this journey, I'm not just going to assume that we're all saved, that we're all 120 00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:44.440 walking with Jesus. 121 00:08:44.640 --> 00:08:49.560 I'm going to go through the gospel and I'm going to share with you the reason why you 122 00:08:49.560 --> 00:08:51.680 are saved or how to get saved. 123 00:08:51.680 --> 00:08:52.680 Okay. 124 00:08:52.680 --> 00:08:53.680 Is it kapai? 125 00:08:53.680 --> 00:08:54.680 Oh, this is boring. 126 00:08:54.680 --> 00:08:56.320 Well, it's not actually. 127 00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:01.880 So if God were to ask you a question, if God were to say to you, if you're standing before 128 00:09:01.880 --> 00:09:09.920 heaven, before the gates of heaven, and Jesus comes out and says, kia ora, as a Māori Jesus, 129 00:09:10.920 --> 00:09:15.160 and he asked you a question, why should I let you into my heaven? 130 00:09:15.160 --> 00:09:19.480 Why should I let you into my heaven? 131 00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:20.480 What would you say to Jesus? 132 00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:22.720 Oh, well, I believed in you. 133 00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:30.720 Well, I went to church, I prayed, I gave money to the poor, I did this and I did that. 134 00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:32.880 What are you basing your faith on for eternal life? 135 00:09:32.880 --> 00:09:38.560 What are you basing your faith on for accessing heaven? 136 00:09:38.560 --> 00:09:39.560 Good question. 137 00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:41.200 I'm going to come back to that in a minute. 138 00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:42.200 I'm going to go through five points. 139 00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:49.160 Here's, let me show you the first one, grace, grace, grace. 140 00:09:49.160 --> 00:09:50.160 What is grace? 141 00:09:50.160 --> 00:09:55.160 Well, Bible says that we're saved by grace, Ephesians chapter two, verse eight and nine. 142 00:09:55.160 --> 00:09:59.040 We are saved by grace and then not of ourselves. 143 00:09:59.040 --> 00:10:00.040 It's a gift of God. 144 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.860 Not of anything we've done, not of works, 145 00:10:02.860 --> 00:10:04.740 lest we should boast about it. 146 00:10:04.740 --> 00:10:06.860 So we need to understand what grace is. 147 00:10:06.860 --> 00:10:08.900 Grace is something that God gives us. 148 00:10:08.900 --> 00:10:10.860 It's freely, it's a free gift. 149 00:10:10.860 --> 00:10:12.260 God gives us grace. 150 00:10:12.260 --> 00:10:15.260 We're saved by grace through grace. 151 00:10:15.260 --> 00:10:16.560 Titus 3.5 says, 152 00:10:16.560 --> 00:10:19.580 "'Not by any works of righteousness which we have done, 153 00:10:19.580 --> 00:10:22.600 "'but according to your mercy you have saved us 154 00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:24.320 "'through the washing of regeneration 155 00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:26.340 "'and the renewing of the Holy Spirit.'" 156 00:10:26.340 --> 00:10:28.260 So number one, you need to understand 157 00:10:28.260 --> 00:10:29.620 that we're saved by grace. 158 00:10:29.620 --> 00:10:31.420 Number one, it's grace. 159 00:10:31.420 --> 00:10:34.540 Now let's go to the next point, man. 160 00:10:34.540 --> 00:10:35.900 Man. 161 00:10:35.900 --> 00:10:39.460 Why are we saved by grace, not by works? 162 00:10:39.460 --> 00:10:42.300 Because man, we're sinners. 163 00:10:42.300 --> 00:10:46.300 We are born infected with sin. 164 00:10:46.300 --> 00:10:47.980 All have sinned, Romans 3.23, 165 00:10:47.980 --> 00:10:51.460 all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. 166 00:10:51.460 --> 00:10:56.060 Romans 6.23, for the wages of sin is death, okay? 167 00:10:56.060 --> 00:10:57.960 So we're infected with sin. 168 00:10:58.000 --> 00:10:59.840 We can't save ourselves. 169 00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:02.120 Imagine if we present our lives to God and say, 170 00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:04.760 Lord, look, I know I was born in sin 171 00:11:04.760 --> 00:11:07.880 and I did a few things I shouldn't have done, 172 00:11:07.880 --> 00:11:10.360 but I've led a good life, I've gone to church all my life, 173 00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:12.640 I've read the Bible, I've helped people. 174 00:11:12.640 --> 00:11:16.040 And that's called self-righteousness. 175 00:11:16.040 --> 00:11:20.080 And imagine, God cannot accept a life 176 00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:21.440 that's still got sin in it. 177 00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:25.760 It's like if I invite you over for a kai 178 00:11:25.760 --> 00:11:27.400 and I make you an omelet. 179 00:11:27.400 --> 00:11:28.920 And as I'm making you an omelet, 180 00:11:28.920 --> 00:11:30.440 I put three eggs in the omelet 181 00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:32.320 and one of those eggs is rotten. 182 00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:35.480 But I still stir the old omelet and I present it up to you. 183 00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:38.320 It's not gonna be acceptable to you. 184 00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:39.560 It might look like a nice omelet, 185 00:11:39.560 --> 00:11:41.240 but there's something rotten in it. 186 00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:42.480 And at the end of our days, 187 00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:45.760 we can't expect to stand before God and present our lives 188 00:11:45.760 --> 00:11:47.200 and say, God, I did my best. 189 00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:48.920 Will you accept me? 190 00:11:48.920 --> 00:11:50.360 Nah, because you've sinned. 191 00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:52.920 All have sinned and fallen short of my glory. 192 00:11:52.920 --> 00:11:54.920 And so we have a problem, okay? 193 00:11:54.920 --> 00:11:56.880 So man, Houston, we have a problem. 194 00:11:56.880 --> 00:12:00.160 Man has a problem that we cannot save ourselves 195 00:12:00.160 --> 00:12:01.640 because we're sinners. 196 00:12:01.640 --> 00:12:02.520 We've all sinned. 197 00:12:02.520 --> 00:12:03.760 I've sinned, you've sinned. 198 00:12:03.760 --> 00:12:06.240 We've fallen short of the glory of God. 199 00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:08.000 So just understand what grace is here. 200 00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:11.640 God comes to save us by his grace. 201 00:12:11.640 --> 00:12:12.960 And we need grace to save us 202 00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:14.720 because we can't save ourselves. 203 00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:17.840 So it's very important to understand what grace is. 204 00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:20.120 Now, the next step is God. 205 00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:21.040 Well, who's God? 206 00:12:21.040 --> 00:12:21.880 What's God like? 207 00:12:21.880 --> 00:12:24.040 Well, we know, you know, 1 John 4, 10, 208 00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:25.800 God is love. 209 00:12:25.800 --> 00:12:27.040 God is love. 210 00:12:27.040 --> 00:12:29.520 And I think a lot of Pentecostals 211 00:12:29.520 --> 00:12:30.440 sort of get carried away 212 00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:32.280 and just focus on the love aspect of God, 213 00:12:32.280 --> 00:12:33.960 but God is also holy. 214 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:38.280 One of the most fearful encounters I've ever had 215 00:12:38.280 --> 00:12:40.760 was when God turned up with his love. 216 00:12:40.760 --> 00:12:43.080 He turned up in 1991. 217 00:12:46.640 --> 00:12:48.240 And I was having a bath, actually. 218 00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:50.480 I was lying on the bath reading a John G. Lake book, 219 00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:53.160 and the presence of God came in the bathroom. 220 00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:55.320 And I just felt overwhelming love. 221 00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:58.520 I mean, love was so strong, I couldn't breathe. 222 00:12:58.520 --> 00:13:00.680 It's like the air oxygen in the room 223 00:13:00.680 --> 00:13:01.760 got sucked out of the room. 224 00:13:01.760 --> 00:13:03.360 It turned brilliant white. 225 00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:04.920 As the presence of God came, 226 00:13:04.920 --> 00:13:06.880 just like a little ray of sunlight, 227 00:13:06.880 --> 00:13:09.000 a little ray of light just touched my chest, 228 00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:11.640 and I felt the incredible love of God, 229 00:13:11.640 --> 00:13:14.520 just love that there's no words for this love, 230 00:13:14.520 --> 00:13:16.120 this incredible love of God. 231 00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:18.280 And I felt like a million miles away, 232 00:13:18.280 --> 00:13:21.160 he was just slowly coming closer to me like this. 233 00:13:21.160 --> 00:13:23.560 And his love was just drawing closer to me. 234 00:13:23.560 --> 00:13:25.000 And it was overwhelming love. 235 00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:27.240 I was just so, and I couldn't breathe. 236 00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:28.920 Literally, I couldn't breathe. 237 00:13:28.920 --> 00:13:31.480 And then I felt his holiness, his purity. 238 00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:33.920 Oh, he's so holy, he's so pure. 239 00:13:33.920 --> 00:13:35.960 And as I'm lying there in the bath, 240 00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:37.320 feeling this overwhelming love, 241 00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:40.240 I felt the overwhelming purity, the holiness of God. 242 00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:43.520 And I tell you what, I was terrified, 243 00:13:43.520 --> 00:13:46.000 and yet I was loved. 244 00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:48.640 I was, it sounds like a contradiction. 245 00:13:48.640 --> 00:13:50.960 I was terrified, but I was not afraid. 246 00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:54.160 His holiness, he's so pure, he's so holy, 247 00:13:54.160 --> 00:13:58.720 it's terrifying, but the love is so amazing. 248 00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:02.560 And so as he came in, when I was lying in the bath, 249 00:14:02.560 --> 00:14:04.600 and that was happening, that encounter with this, 250 00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:07.440 that's a manifest, tangible, manifest presence of God. 251 00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:09.520 I've only had it once in my life. 252 00:14:09.520 --> 00:14:11.920 When people say, oh, God's presence turned up here 253 00:14:11.920 --> 00:14:13.920 at certain meetings, I said, nah. 254 00:14:13.920 --> 00:14:17.680 When his presence turns up, you can't, you're on your face. 255 00:14:17.680 --> 00:14:19.320 You know, Adolf Hitler would be on his face 256 00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:20.720 begging for forgiveness. 257 00:14:21.400 --> 00:14:23.320 If that presence come over our town, our city, 258 00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:24.680 everyone would be on their face, 259 00:14:24.680 --> 00:14:26.280 crying out to God for mercy. 260 00:14:26.280 --> 00:14:28.200 I'm talking about the tangible manifest presence. 261 00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:30.640 That's another story about how revival comes 262 00:14:30.640 --> 00:14:31.720 through the manifest presence. 263 00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:34.560 So anyway, I'm talking about the presence of God. 264 00:14:34.560 --> 00:14:38.040 His love is amazing, but I felt his holiness as well. 265 00:14:38.040 --> 00:14:40.880 And I tell you, that nearly, the presence of God, 266 00:14:40.880 --> 00:14:42.120 I had to ask him to lift, 267 00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:44.360 because I felt I was gonna die, literally. 268 00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:47.000 I had to ask for his presence to lift, and it lifted. 269 00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:48.240 That's another story, though. 270 00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:52.120 And so, God is, yeah, he's loving, and he's kind. 271 00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:54.800 But it says in Ezekiel 18, four, 272 00:14:54.800 --> 00:14:58.160 that his eyes are too pure to look upon sin, 273 00:14:58.160 --> 00:14:59.160 and Exodus, 274 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:04.420 34th Sentiment, that the soul that sins will be punished. 275 00:15:04.420 --> 00:15:07.520 So God has to deal with our problem, which is sin. 276 00:15:07.520 --> 00:15:09.480 Remember, man is a sinner. 277 00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:10.320 You're a sinner. 278 00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:11.280 I was born in sin. 279 00:15:11.280 --> 00:15:12.700 I'm infected with sin. 280 00:15:12.700 --> 00:15:14.520 I was born infected with sin. 281 00:15:14.520 --> 00:15:17.960 And so it was sin that was keeping me out of heaven. 282 00:15:17.960 --> 00:15:20.520 It was sin that separated me from God. 283 00:15:20.520 --> 00:15:22.880 And it was my problem, not God's problem. 284 00:15:22.880 --> 00:15:25.760 And God sent someone to solve your problem, 285 00:15:25.760 --> 00:15:30.400 my problem, man's problem, through his son, Jesus Christ. 286 00:15:30.400 --> 00:15:35.400 And so Jesus Christ comes to help or to solve our sin. 287 00:15:35.520 --> 00:15:38.360 So when Jesus Christ came, hallelujah. 288 00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:40.160 Oh, beautiful Jesus. 289 00:15:40.160 --> 00:15:42.400 It says of Jesus, John 1, 290 00:15:42.400 --> 00:15:44.360 that in the beginning there was the word, 291 00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:47.200 and the word was with God, and the word was God. 292 00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:49.360 Verse 14, and the word became flesh, 293 00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:53.500 and we beheld his glory as the only begotten son of God. 294 00:15:53.540 --> 00:15:57.220 God came down to the earth in the form of a human being. 295 00:15:57.220 --> 00:16:00.340 He came down into the earth in the form of Jesus, 296 00:16:00.340 --> 00:16:03.020 but he was a sinless human being. 297 00:16:03.020 --> 00:16:05.260 He was a sinless human being. 298 00:16:05.260 --> 00:16:07.060 There's only been three sinless human beings, 299 00:16:07.060 --> 00:16:11.300 Adam, Eve, and then they sinned, and we got infected with. 300 00:16:11.300 --> 00:16:14.780 The third sinless human being, Jesus Christ. 301 00:16:14.780 --> 00:16:16.940 He came as a sinless human being. 302 00:16:16.940 --> 00:16:18.100 Why? 303 00:16:18.100 --> 00:16:21.860 Because Jesus came to pay the price for our sin. 304 00:16:21.860 --> 00:16:24.140 In order for us to get into heaven, 305 00:16:24.140 --> 00:16:26.220 a sinless offering had to be made, 306 00:16:26.220 --> 00:16:29.300 and you couldn't make it, I couldn't make it. 307 00:16:29.300 --> 00:16:32.100 We all sinned, we'd all fallen short of the glory of God. 308 00:16:32.100 --> 00:16:35.580 The only thing that could turn justice away 309 00:16:35.580 --> 00:16:40.220 and judgment away was if somebody would take our sin. 310 00:16:40.220 --> 00:16:41.060 And who would do that? 311 00:16:41.060 --> 00:16:42.500 Who would love us so much? 312 00:16:42.500 --> 00:16:45.540 Who would be so kind to take your sin, my sin? 313 00:16:45.540 --> 00:16:49.980 See, before I was a believer, I was a bit of a bad boy, 314 00:16:49.980 --> 00:16:52.460 and often I would be in trouble with the police, 315 00:16:52.460 --> 00:16:54.500 and I would have to go to court, 316 00:16:54.500 --> 00:16:56.100 and I'd stand in the dock, 317 00:16:56.100 --> 00:16:57.020 and the judge would say, 318 00:16:57.020 --> 00:16:58.900 Mr. McLeod, how do you plead? 319 00:16:58.900 --> 00:17:02.140 I would say, not guilty, because I was just hoha. 320 00:17:02.140 --> 00:17:04.339 And he said, well, we have the evidence, 321 00:17:04.339 --> 00:17:07.540 and then they'd bring evidence of my crimes. 322 00:17:07.540 --> 00:17:10.540 And so I was judged guilty because I was guilty. 323 00:17:10.540 --> 00:17:12.020 Didn't matter whether I said I wasn't guilty, 324 00:17:12.020 --> 00:17:12.980 I was judged guilty, 325 00:17:12.980 --> 00:17:15.500 and the judge pronounced a sentence on me. 326 00:17:16.579 --> 00:17:18.260 Well, we're all guilty before Jesus. 327 00:17:18.260 --> 00:17:19.819 We're all guilty before God 328 00:17:20.660 --> 00:17:21.500 because of sin. 329 00:17:21.500 --> 00:17:23.900 And so if we were to stand before the judge 330 00:17:23.900 --> 00:17:26.339 of all the earth, and he said, how do you plead? 331 00:17:26.339 --> 00:17:28.060 You gotta say, guilty. 332 00:17:29.980 --> 00:17:32.460 But imagine if that judge was Jesus, 333 00:17:32.460 --> 00:17:34.740 and Jesus says, you're guilty of sin. 334 00:17:34.740 --> 00:17:36.140 I pass sentence. 335 00:17:36.140 --> 00:17:37.980 The judgment of sin is death. 336 00:17:39.780 --> 00:17:41.980 But then imagine if that Jesus was the judge, 337 00:17:41.980 --> 00:17:44.340 he gets up out of the judgment seat, 338 00:17:44.340 --> 00:17:45.820 and he comes down into the dock, 339 00:17:45.820 --> 00:17:47.620 and he stands in the dock with you. 340 00:17:47.620 --> 00:17:49.260 He says, though you're guilty, 341 00:17:49.660 --> 00:17:52.180 I have passed sentence of death on you. 342 00:17:52.180 --> 00:17:53.220 You are free. 343 00:17:53.220 --> 00:17:54.100 Go free. 344 00:17:54.100 --> 00:17:55.180 Go free, son. 345 00:17:55.180 --> 00:17:56.420 Go free, daughter. 346 00:17:56.420 --> 00:17:58.500 I will take your judgment. 347 00:17:58.500 --> 00:17:59.980 I will go to jail. 348 00:17:59.980 --> 00:18:02.580 I will take the sentence of death in my life. 349 00:18:02.580 --> 00:18:04.540 And that's what Jesus did for you. 350 00:18:04.540 --> 00:18:06.260 That's what Jesus did for me 351 00:18:06.260 --> 00:18:07.820 because we've all sinned, 352 00:18:07.820 --> 00:18:11.860 but Jesus took our sin in his own body on the cross. 353 00:18:11.860 --> 00:18:14.380 It says in Isaiah 53, six, 354 00:18:14.380 --> 00:18:16.980 all we like sheep, we have gone astray. 355 00:18:16.980 --> 00:18:19.460 All of us, we've gone to our own ways, 356 00:18:19.460 --> 00:18:22.300 but God has laid on him, on Jesus, 357 00:18:22.300 --> 00:18:24.220 the sin, the iniquity of us all. 358 00:18:24.220 --> 00:18:25.620 It's beautiful, isn't it? 359 00:18:25.620 --> 00:18:27.020 It touches me. 360 00:18:27.020 --> 00:18:27.860 Always touches. 361 00:18:27.860 --> 00:18:30.380 I've preached this gospel thousands and thousands of times, 362 00:18:30.380 --> 00:18:32.140 but every time I come to this part, 363 00:18:32.140 --> 00:18:34.780 it's just, man, Jesus is our hero. 364 00:18:34.780 --> 00:18:35.940 Jesus. 365 00:18:35.940 --> 00:18:40.940 Okay, and so Jesus came to fix our problem, 366 00:18:41.340 --> 00:18:43.020 to remove the sin from us. 367 00:18:43.020 --> 00:18:45.180 In 1 Peter 2, 24, it says, 368 00:18:45.220 --> 00:18:47.860 he bore our sin in his own body, 369 00:18:47.860 --> 00:18:49.460 on the cross, on the tree, 370 00:18:49.460 --> 00:18:53.060 that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. 371 00:18:53.060 --> 00:18:55.900 And by his wounds, we have been healed. 372 00:18:55.900 --> 00:18:58.540 It says in 2 Corinthians 5, verse 21, 373 00:18:58.540 --> 00:19:02.460 he who knew no sin became sin for you, for me, 374 00:19:02.460 --> 00:19:05.380 that we might become the righteousness of God 375 00:19:05.380 --> 00:19:07.500 in Christ Jesus. 376 00:19:07.500 --> 00:19:09.180 We're not self-righteous. 377 00:19:09.180 --> 00:19:11.220 We become the righteousness of God. 378 00:19:11.220 --> 00:19:14.620 God has taken away the filthy rags of our self-righteousness, 379 00:19:14.620 --> 00:19:16.660 of all our good deeds, trying to get into heaven. 380 00:19:16.660 --> 00:19:18.460 He says, that's like a rotten ear. 381 00:19:18.460 --> 00:19:19.780 That won't get you in. 382 00:19:19.780 --> 00:19:23.300 He says, the righteousness of my son, I place that upon you. 383 00:19:23.300 --> 00:19:25.780 I wash away your sin with my blood. 384 00:19:25.780 --> 00:19:27.940 I wash away your infection with my blood, 385 00:19:27.940 --> 00:19:30.100 the blood of my son, Jesus Christ. 386 00:19:30.100 --> 00:19:31.380 And by the blood of the lamb, 387 00:19:31.380 --> 00:19:33.140 you have overcome the devil. 388 00:19:33.140 --> 00:19:34.380 And by the word of your testimony, 389 00:19:34.380 --> 00:19:35.620 allowing your life to the devil, 390 00:19:35.620 --> 00:19:37.660 you are cleansed by the blood of Jesus. 391 00:19:37.660 --> 00:19:39.140 And so you see, Father, 392 00:19:41.060 --> 00:19:42.580 it's Christ. 393 00:19:43.460 --> 00:19:44.940 It's Christ. 394 00:19:44.940 --> 00:19:46.660 It's Jesus. 395 00:19:46.660 --> 00:19:48.780 It's Jesus who took away your sin. 396 00:19:48.780 --> 00:19:50.620 He took away the infection. 397 00:19:50.620 --> 00:19:54.100 And so it comes to the last point, which is faith. 398 00:19:54.100 --> 00:19:56.300 Okay, you might believe all that, 399 00:19:56.300 --> 00:19:58.860 but you gotta do more than just believe that. 400 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:02.600 People think, well, if I just believe I'll be saved. 401 00:20:02.600 --> 00:20:03.840 Well, yes and no. 402 00:20:03.840 --> 00:20:05.400 You know, the devil believes. 403 00:20:05.400 --> 00:20:09.640 Says in James, where is it, James 2, 19, 404 00:20:09.640 --> 00:20:12.160 the devil believes and he trembles. 405 00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:14.800 I tell you, he ain't saved, he ain't going to heaven. 406 00:20:14.800 --> 00:20:17.320 He's not accessing God's presence. 407 00:20:17.320 --> 00:20:20.500 So just believing in your head, giving mental assent, 408 00:20:20.500 --> 00:20:23.040 that's not the faith that we're saved by. 409 00:20:23.040 --> 00:20:26.060 The faith that we're saved by is called saving faith. 410 00:20:26.060 --> 00:20:28.600 Let me illustrate, let's see. 411 00:20:28.600 --> 00:20:32.340 Can you see this, there's a chair there 412 00:20:33.540 --> 00:20:35.580 and there's a chair there. 413 00:20:35.580 --> 00:20:39.020 So just suppose this chair represents 414 00:20:39.020 --> 00:20:41.340 what I'm trusting in to get me into heaven. 415 00:20:41.340 --> 00:20:42.900 I'm putting my faith in that, 416 00:20:42.900 --> 00:20:44.620 that I'm sitting in this chair 417 00:20:44.620 --> 00:20:47.900 and I'm resting my faith in all my good deeds, 418 00:20:47.900 --> 00:20:49.840 that I've read the Bible, I've gone to church, 419 00:20:49.840 --> 00:20:52.380 I've been a good person and that these are my good works. 420 00:20:52.380 --> 00:20:54.900 This is actually my self-righteousness. 421 00:20:54.920 --> 00:20:58.760 And then I'm putting faith in this to get me into heaven. 422 00:20:58.760 --> 00:21:01.480 You know what, if I stood before God on that day 423 00:21:01.480 --> 00:21:03.480 and he said, why should I let you into heaven? 424 00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:06.240 I said, God, because of all the good things I've done for you 425 00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:09.000 this chair will drop me into heaven 426 00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:10.360 or drop me somewhere else. 427 00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:12.280 So what is faith? 428 00:21:12.280 --> 00:21:16.440 Faith is transferring your trust from self-righteousness, 429 00:21:16.440 --> 00:21:18.800 from works of righteousness, from all that you have done, 430 00:21:18.800 --> 00:21:21.760 transferring your faith into this chair, 431 00:21:21.760 --> 00:21:23.400 which represents Jesus. 432 00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:25.820 This is what Jesus did for me on the cross. 433 00:21:25.820 --> 00:21:28.140 This is the death and resurrection of Jesus. 434 00:21:28.140 --> 00:21:29.820 This is the blood of Jesus. 435 00:21:29.820 --> 00:21:32.340 He died for my sins. 436 00:21:32.340 --> 00:21:33.700 It was his righteousness. 437 00:21:33.700 --> 00:21:37.500 And I transfer my faith from self-righteousness 438 00:21:37.500 --> 00:21:41.940 into Christ's righteousness. 439 00:21:41.940 --> 00:21:43.660 Wow, there we go. 440 00:21:43.660 --> 00:21:45.880 I'm trusting in Jesus. 441 00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:47.960 My faith is resting in Jesus. 442 00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:51.020 That's how you transfer your faith into Jesus, 443 00:21:51.040 --> 00:21:53.920 not yourself, but into Christ Jesus. 444 00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:55.600 Pretty simple, isn't it? 445 00:21:55.600 --> 00:21:59.120 It's called Saving Faith, Acts 16, 31. 446 00:21:59.120 --> 00:22:02.480 The centurion, the apostle Paul said to the centurion, 447 00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:05.280 believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved, 448 00:22:05.280 --> 00:22:07.160 you and your household. 449 00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:08.680 As a result of me and Jess believing 450 00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:10.200 in the Lord Jesus Christ, 451 00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:12.760 putting our faith in what he has done for us, 452 00:22:12.760 --> 00:22:15.440 our household has been saved, my children, my grandchildren, 453 00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:18.440 and many, many, many other households throughout the earth. 454 00:22:18.460 --> 00:22:21.900 And so coming to the end, father, whanau, 455 00:22:21.900 --> 00:22:25.340 Ephesians 2, 8 and 9 might make more sense now. 456 00:22:25.340 --> 00:22:28.660 By grace, we are saved through faith. 457 00:22:29.700 --> 00:22:30.920 What sort of faith? 458 00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:33.580 Faith, trusting in what Jesus did for us. 459 00:22:33.580 --> 00:22:38.180 Through faith, not of works, lest any man should boast. 460 00:22:38.180 --> 00:22:41.420 Not of any works which we have done, lest we should boast. 461 00:22:41.420 --> 00:22:43.240 That's how we know we're saved. 462 00:22:43.240 --> 00:22:45.400 These things are written that we might know 463 00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:47.620 we have everlasting life. 464 00:22:47.640 --> 00:22:49.760 This is how we have relationship with Jesus, 465 00:22:49.760 --> 00:22:52.960 through what he did for us, not what we did for him. 466 00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:56.760 And so I'm following Jesus, not because I have to. 467 00:22:56.760 --> 00:22:59.600 I'm not following Jesus because I want to get to heaven 468 00:22:59.600 --> 00:23:00.720 and if I live a good life, 469 00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:02.920 then maybe he'll let me into heaven, uh-uh. 470 00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:05.400 My name's already in the book of life, so is yours. 471 00:23:05.400 --> 00:23:08.440 My reservation's already been made, it's paid up, 472 00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:10.120 it's all done. 473 00:23:10.120 --> 00:23:13.080 The life I live is just a thank you, Jesus, 474 00:23:13.080 --> 00:23:15.720 I can never repay you for what you've done for me. 475 00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:17.440 And he doesn't want repayment 476 00:23:18.260 --> 00:23:19.340 because he knows we can't repay him. 477 00:23:19.340 --> 00:23:21.820 He doesn't want repayment, he says, I just love you. 478 00:23:21.820 --> 00:23:25.780 And you just be my son, be my daughter, that I love you. 479 00:23:25.780 --> 00:23:28.740 But there's more than just loving Jesus, there's destiny. 480 00:23:28.740 --> 00:23:30.940 We're created to do good works in Christ Jesus. 481 00:23:30.940 --> 00:23:32.980 We're created to be history makers. 482 00:23:32.980 --> 00:23:36.100 We're created to be a nation shaker, city changers. 483 00:23:36.100 --> 00:23:37.620 And this is what God is doing with us 484 00:23:37.620 --> 00:23:39.860 at this time of lock-in with Jesus. 485 00:23:39.860 --> 00:23:42.220 And so, Father, come to that question 486 00:23:42.220 --> 00:23:43.460 I asked at the beginning. 487 00:23:43.460 --> 00:23:44.500 If God were to say to you, 488 00:23:44.500 --> 00:23:46.940 why should I let you into my heaven? 489 00:23:46.940 --> 00:23:47.840 What was your answer? 490 00:23:47.840 --> 00:23:48.680 What would your answer be? 491 00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:51.480 Some might've said, well, I've led a good life. 492 00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:52.760 I've done my best. 493 00:23:52.760 --> 00:23:54.800 It's not enough, that's not the answer. 494 00:23:54.800 --> 00:23:56.640 The answer is, if he were to ask me, 495 00:23:56.640 --> 00:23:58.780 why should I let you into heaven, son? 496 00:23:58.780 --> 00:23:59.620 Why should I let you? 497 00:23:59.620 --> 00:24:03.920 I'd say, because of what your son, Jesus Christ, did for me. 498 00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:06.320 I accept that he bore my sin. 499 00:24:06.320 --> 00:24:08.080 I'm trusting in what he did for me, 500 00:24:08.080 --> 00:24:10.800 not what I did for me, and not what I did to get in. 501 00:24:10.800 --> 00:24:13.080 Kapai, whanau, kapai. 502 00:24:14.060 --> 00:24:19.060 So, I've obviously gone over 15 minutes, 20 minutes, 503 00:24:19.260 --> 00:24:23.820 but kaiti pai, so that's not even a lesson of today. 504 00:24:23.820 --> 00:24:26.740 That's just, I just felt I had to get that done. 505 00:24:26.740 --> 00:24:30.020 What's the point of speaking life to people 506 00:24:30.020 --> 00:24:32.540 who aren't sure whether they're happy to earn a life? 507 00:24:32.540 --> 00:24:36.180 So, whanau, I wanna lead you in a prayer right now 508 00:24:36.180 --> 00:24:38.980 for those of you who need to reaffirm 509 00:24:38.980 --> 00:24:41.700 or rededicate yourself to God. 510 00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:44.320 You might say, but, okay, I've given my life to Jesus, 511 00:24:44.320 --> 00:24:47.240 but does that mean I'll never sin again? 512 00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:50.240 No, it doesn't mean you're perfect. 513 00:24:50.240 --> 00:24:52.000 It means the perfect one comes into you 514 00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:53.240 and the Holy Spirit in you, 515 00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:55.640 he will teach you to walk in the ways of God. 516 00:24:55.640 --> 00:24:57.440 There'll be times when you'll have one step forward 517 00:24:57.440 --> 00:25:00.040 and two back, you'll have two steps forward and one. 518 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:02.760 but just keep following Jesus. 519 00:25:02.760 --> 00:25:05.560 And if you do stuff up, what should you do? 520 00:25:05.560 --> 00:25:09.360 1 John 1.9 says if we confess our sin to God, 521 00:25:09.360 --> 00:25:11.480 He's just to forgive us and cleanse us 522 00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:13.520 of all unrighteousness. 523 00:25:13.520 --> 00:25:16.040 So I've stuffed up, I don't know how many times 524 00:25:16.040 --> 00:25:19.520 since I've met Jesus, but His grace covers me. 525 00:25:19.520 --> 00:25:21.180 His mercy covers me. 526 00:25:21.180 --> 00:25:23.560 As long as I'm honest and I can say, 527 00:25:23.560 --> 00:25:25.680 God, I'm not hiding this from you. 528 00:25:25.680 --> 00:25:27.520 See, don't hide your sin from God. 529 00:25:27.520 --> 00:25:29.840 Don't hide your weakness or your faults from God. 530 00:25:29.840 --> 00:25:31.480 He already sees them. 531 00:25:31.480 --> 00:25:34.520 In the Garden of Edom, Adam and Eve made fig leaves 532 00:25:34.520 --> 00:25:36.000 to try and cover themselves. 533 00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:37.320 They were naked before God. 534 00:25:37.320 --> 00:25:38.560 He can see everything. 535 00:25:38.560 --> 00:25:42.160 And so when I come before God, if I stuff up, I don't hide. 536 00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:45.960 I bring my, I come to God not for judgment, but for mercy. 537 00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:47.220 But I fess up. 538 00:25:47.220 --> 00:25:50.680 So be a walking spirit in truth. 539 00:25:50.680 --> 00:25:54.360 And walking in truth means walking in truth, being real, 540 00:25:54.360 --> 00:25:55.200 fessing up. 541 00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:56.880 When you're stuffed up, fess up. 542 00:25:56.880 --> 00:25:59.040 And when you're stuffed up before God, fess up. 543 00:25:59.040 --> 00:26:00.920 If you're stuffed up by hurting others, 544 00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:05.400 by doing something to others, 545 00:26:05.400 --> 00:26:07.840 go and put it right with them, okay? 546 00:26:07.840 --> 00:26:09.640 Don't just tell God, oh, I'm sorry, Lord. 547 00:26:09.640 --> 00:26:11.080 You go and put it right with them. 548 00:26:11.080 --> 00:26:12.800 Love God means loving man. 549 00:26:12.800 --> 00:26:15.280 Aroha ke te atua, aroha ke te tangata. 550 00:26:15.280 --> 00:26:19.980 And so whānau, that's the lesson for today. 551 00:26:19.980 --> 00:26:21.280 Make sure you're saved. 552 00:26:21.280 --> 00:26:22.880 Understand those, I'll just show you 553 00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:26.040 so you can sort of take a photo of that. 554 00:26:29.560

what the gospel is themselves. 561 00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:44.320 This is just a basic format. 562 00:26:44.320 --> 00:26:45.840 You don't have to teach everybody this, 563 00:26:45.840 --> 00:26:48.160 but you know, Jesus loves people. 564 00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:52.840 And the reason why we're here is to love him, 565 00:26:52.840 --> 00:26:54.560 but also to love people by bringing them 566 00:26:54.560 --> 00:26:56.520 into a relationship with Jesus Christ. 567 00:26:56.560 --> 00:26:59.160 Okay, whānau, that's our time. 568 00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:02.680 So now listen, some of
