00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.000
Hallelujah.

2
00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:09.000
Kia ora whānau.

3
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:20.000
Blessed be the name of the Lord.

4
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:23.000
Blessed be the name of the Lord.

5
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:28.000
Tā mi a hō. Kia ora.

6
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:35.000
Hey Scotty. Kia ora Sheree. Stuart. Catherine.

7
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:40.000
Hallelujah. Morning Marina. Oops sorry.

8
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:44.000
Bit of an earthquake going on over here. Not.

9
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:48.000
Hallelujah.

10
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:53.000
Welcome to day 18.

11
00:00:53.000 --> 00:01:01.000
As you can see behind me. Day 18 but not much on the board.

12
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:04.000
Sorry.

13
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:07.000
Sorry.

14
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:11.000
Praise you Jesus.

15
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:14.000
Whānau.

16
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:23.000
It's about over 400 comments on yesterday's kōrero on church government.

17
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:37.000
Okay. Benji just messaged me and said that the handout day 18 is on the embassy site now.

18
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:45.000
And so we're going to go through that tomorrow because I've got the.

19
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:52.000
I'm going to take you through the stuff and I want you to get a copy of what I'm going to be teaching.

20
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:56.000
Because I'm going to help you fill in. It's a kinesthetic study.

21
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:02.000
And so it's got. I could send it to you with all the notes but no pictures.

22
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:07.000
And I don't operate without pictures. Jesus always used parables, pictures.

23
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:11.000
And I'm a kinesthetic teacher and I like to teach kinesthetically.

24
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:14.000
Not just by hearing but by seeing at the same time.

25
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:24.000
And so on the study that you're going to be getting there's pictures that help illustrate what I'm trying to say.

26
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:27.000
So having said that.

27
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:31.000
Having said that whānau.

28
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:37.000
I wanted to go on to part two of church government today.

29
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:41.000
But like I said I'm going to wait to do that tomorrow.

30
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:45.000
So actually tomorrow is Saturday isn't it. It's going to be the next day.

31
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:52.000
So anyway tomorrow or after the session please go into the embassy site which you're already on.

32
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:59.000
And if you can print out if you can print out the study the study notes day 18 that'll be good.

33
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:02.000
If you can't print it out it's okay.

34
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:09.000
You know I will give you the answers to put in because you've got blanks I think.

35
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:11.000
Anyway I'm not sure.

36
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:13.000
But we're on a roll.

37
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:19.000
So kingdom church government and kingdom expansion are synonymous.

38
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:21.000
They work together.

39
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:25.000
When the house is in order the kingdom impact is in order.

40
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:29.000
When there's unity in the house there's commanded blessing on the house.

41
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:34.000
When there's division in the house a house divided against itself shall not stand.

42
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:37.000
And you know I love the body of Christ.

43
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:39.000
I love the church.

44
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:49.000
Actually I've just spoken on Radio Rima about the 730 lift up a clap, a praise, sing the national anthem over our nation.

45
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:53.000
I love the church and I'm not in any way criticizing the church.

46
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:58.000
Without the church even in its present form I wouldn't be where I am today.

47
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:04.000
However God wants to bring divine order back into his house.

48
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:12.000
And so I'm just teaching stuff that I learnt and put together 2008.

49
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:15.000
So that's what that 10, 11 years ago.

50
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:20.000
And I taught it to our church and they received it.

51
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:27.000
I taught it but that didn't seem to be very popular to 11 years ago.

52
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:34.000
And so I took it to India and I taught it in India about church government and kingdom development and transformation.

53
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:36.000
And they received it incredibly.

54
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:42.000
The church grew from, as I said yesterday, it grew from 130 to 3,007 years.

55
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:48.000
And many of the principles were that the church operates according to church government and kingdom expansion.

56
00:04:48.000 --> 00:05:00.000
And so for the last, what, 11 years, this has been just, this stuff has been sitting in my house.

57
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:08.560
a folder for 11 years, which has been sitting in my office for the time, and it's not the

58
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:13.320
first time that God hasn't given me something to sit on for decades.

59
00:05:13.320 --> 00:05:21.320
So anyway, I can't help but thinking that it's new wineskin time, and so the things

60
00:05:21.320 --> 00:05:29.800
I'm talking about, because as an apostle, I'm also a pioneer, and it's not because

61
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:37.240
I'm somebody, it's just because God created me like this, I'm a pioneer, I'm not a settler.

62
00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:43.120
So as a pioneer, pioneers carve a path where there's no path, that's the ministry of

63
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:49.800
an apostle, prophet-apostle ministering together, they carve paths where there are no paths,

64
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:55.900
and if there's no one to go before us, and of course I submit to other apostles and prophets

65
00:05:55.900 --> 00:06:00.300
in our nation and around the world, I've got a connection, and it's on a friendship,

66
00:06:00.300 --> 00:06:05.980
it's on a relational level, not a dominational level, okay, I'm connected with other apostles

67
00:06:05.980 --> 00:06:10.860
and prophets in this nation, and around the nation, around the world, and it's on a relational,

68
00:06:10.860 --> 00:06:17.500
not denominational, okay, in fact some of these guys that I work with, some of these

69
00:06:17.500 --> 00:06:25.660
ladies that I work with, males and females, five-folds, there's no gender, in that sense,

70
00:06:26.060 --> 00:06:30.140
I don't even know, I don't even know what their denomination is of their church, if you ask me,

71
00:06:30.140 --> 00:06:35.180
I wouldn't, I don't know, all I know is I've got a heart for Jesus, and the kingdom heart,

72
00:06:35.180 --> 00:06:40.540
that they love God, and they love people, and they love the church, and we just, and so that's

73
00:06:40.540 --> 00:06:48.540
relational, not denominational, and so, but all that to say that I have a pioneer ministry of

74
00:06:48.540 --> 00:06:53.500
breaking through where there's no path, and I've had to break through into areas, into areas of

75
00:06:53.500 --> 00:06:58.700
healing, for instance, I'm pioneering and breaking through, not just for my ministry to heal, but

76
00:06:58.700 --> 00:07:05.500
showing others how to break through, and to release the supernatural culture of Christ into their

77
00:07:05.500 --> 00:07:13.980
lives, into their ministry, into their churches, and so this stuff that I'm going to be teaching

78
00:07:15.420 --> 00:07:21.660
about church government, and kingdom expansion, there's probably about two or three more studies

79
00:07:21.660 --> 00:07:26.460
to do, so we'll do, we're going to do on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and in that time I'll be

80
00:07:26.460 --> 00:07:31.420
able to get the other studies sent through to you as well, I didn't bother emailing them to you,

81
00:07:31.420 --> 00:07:35.100
because they're just going to, there's, you know, there's hundreds of you guys watching this,

82
00:07:35.740 --> 00:07:43.100
so it's going to take all year to send an email, so unless you know, someone knows how to get all

83
00:07:43.100 --> 00:07:48.060
the emails, put them together, send them to me, so I can just send one email out, and it gets to

84
00:07:48.060 --> 00:07:54.620
everybody, if there's anybody out there in Facebook land, if you've got the technical

85
00:07:54.620 --> 00:07:59.180
knowledge to do that, the gifting to do that, it's not my gifting, I know how to cast our devils, heal

86
00:07:59.180 --> 00:08:04.940
the sick, and break through in areas, but I don't, technology, I only use it for what I, you know, only

87
00:08:05.500 --> 00:08:12.540
I know my limitations, so if anyone out there knows how to do that, kaiti pai, well, so I break

88
00:08:12.540 --> 00:08:19.740
through a pioneer, and so this stuff that's been written, it's, the word new wineskin keeps coming,

89
00:08:20.620 --> 00:08:31.180
and the old wineskin, you know, the old wineskin, either to get, to soften the old wineskin up,

90
00:08:32.460 --> 00:08:37.500
either put it in water and let it soak until it becomes pliable again, or just get a whole new

91
00:08:37.500 --> 00:08:44.059
wineskin, and I can't help but thinking that God is softening the church up, that God is softening

92
00:08:44.059 --> 00:08:49.740
believers' hearts up, that maybe God is softening us up over this 30-day period, so that we're going

93
00:08:49.740 --> 00:08:57.100
to be more pliable to change, more pliable to allowing God to build the church His way,

94
00:08:57.820 --> 00:09:04.220
and like I say, there's great churches in this nation that are being led by great leaders,

95
00:09:04.220 --> 00:09:10.540
great pastors, great teachers, and great apostles, and prophets, great churches, I'm not putting them

96
00:09:10.540 --> 00:09:16.220
down, and praise God we've got that, but there's good, and there's better, and there's best,

97
00:09:16.220 --> 00:09:21.980
and we want best, we want, you know, we want it God's way, where there's a

98
00:09:23.100 --> 00:09:29.340
collaboration and a collective of national apostles, and national prophets, and

99
00:09:29.340 --> 00:09:34.540
national evangelists, and national pastors, and national teachers, that we're working together

100
00:09:34.540 --> 00:09:40.620
on a relational level, not a denominational level, and where it's just Jesus is the heart, and the

101
00:09:40.620 --> 00:09:46.140
kingdom is the kaupapa, and when we have that, and it doesn't mean we all have to try to copy

102
00:09:46.140 --> 00:09:50.860
one another, and try to imitate one another, it's not about that, it's about imitating Christ,

103
00:09:51.580 --> 00:09:58.140
and it's about us fulfilling what God has called us to do, and at our neck of the

104
00:09:58.140 --> 00:09:59.900
woods, what God has called you and me to do.

105
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:05.360
to do, what God's called your church, my church to do, that we work together in collaboration.

106
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:10.720
There are 12 tribes of Israel, and every tribe is different. I mean, the Benjamites, they're

107
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:16.160
fighters. They can knock your eye out with a stone from 100 meters. And Judah, praise

108
00:10:16.160 --> 00:10:22.000
and worship. And the Levites, into the ministry, into the tabernacle of the Lord. And Ephraim,

109
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:26.800
the double portion people. Every tribe has a different strength, a different personality.

110
00:10:27.040 --> 00:10:33.760
But when those tribes come together, they form one nation. Yeah? One nation. They might have

111
00:10:33.760 --> 00:10:38.560
different strengths, different personalities, and different assignments, but they're all the tribe

112
00:10:38.560 --> 00:10:44.560
of Israel. They're one nation. And in the book of Revelations, you read about seven churches that

113
00:10:44.560 --> 00:10:48.880
Jesus is speaking to. Again, they're in different locations. They have different strengths. They

114
00:10:48.880 --> 00:10:54.400
have different weaknesses as well. They have different personalities, but they're His body.

115
00:10:55.360 --> 00:11:00.320
Twelve disciples, twelve different leaders, different personalities, different strengths,

116
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:07.120
different abilities. But they came together to form the foundation of the house of God,

117
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:12.080
of the body of Christ. They might be 12 different men, but they're all one. They're part of the

118
00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:20.080
church. And when we can catch that revelation, that, okay, we all have differences. House of

119
00:11:20.160 --> 00:11:26.240
Breakthrough Tairaafeti is different to House of Breakthrough Oamaru. House of Breakthrough Oamaru

120
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:33.760
is different to House of Breakthrough India. We are different, but we have the same principles

121
00:11:33.760 --> 00:11:41.200
and the same patterns. We have relational connection. And we work together for God's

122
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:47.840
cause to do in our neck of the woods, in our town, in our city, in our nation. And we're not

123
00:11:48.640 --> 00:11:52.880
trying, we're not in competition with other churches. We're not in competition with other,

124
00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:59.040
because they're our brothers, our sisters. It's like when the kingdom of Israel was divided,

125
00:11:59.040 --> 00:12:03.680
when they're in competition with each other. But when they came united under David, whoa,

126
00:12:03.680 --> 00:12:09.520
when they were united under Joshua, nothing was impossible. When the kingdom of Israel was united

127
00:12:09.520 --> 00:12:14.880
under Joshua, under a leadership appointed by God, when they came together, they took the land,

128
00:12:14.880 --> 00:12:19.840
they took possession of the land. And I believe when the body of Christ comes together, united

129
00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:26.560
under relational, not denominational, that we're going to take this land. We're going to take it.

130
00:12:26.560 --> 00:12:29.440
It's the inheritance. What I mean, take the land of the people of the land,

131
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:38.880
giving Jesus so that people can choose the God of heaven. It's not that we enforce or impose

132
00:12:38.880 --> 00:12:44.960
Christianity on anybody, but there is a way of, of reflecting Christ, lifting Christ up over our

133
00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:53.760
land, over our people. Hallelujah. So I'm going to be getting into detail on the continuing of the,

134
00:12:53.760 --> 00:13:01.120
of the church government. And so the, what I'm going to do on Tuesday is about the church. What

135
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:08.400
is the church? And because a lot of confusion out there, what the church is, what is the pattern of

136
00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:12.400
the church? So in the lesson, I'm going to illustrate the importance of building the

137
00:13:12.400 --> 00:13:17.280
church according to God's pattern. I'm going to explain what the pattern is, and then I'm going

138
00:13:17.280 --> 00:13:22.240
to show you how you can be part of the, of the solution, part of building, part of the pattern

139
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:30.160
for building God's awesome church. Okay. Now I know I can hear out there, my pastor's controlling,

140
00:13:30.160 --> 00:13:36.400
but my, this, all that, all this negativity out there. I understand, but God, God is doing

141
00:13:36.400 --> 00:13:41.600
something. You know, I believe that the Holy Spirit is soaking us over the 30 day period.

142
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:48.080
And there's a, where, you know, there's a, a flexibility coming in the hearts of God's people

143
00:13:48.640 --> 00:13:54.640
and I pray that in his leaders and that they're going to be more willing, perhaps to change and

144
00:13:54.640 --> 00:14:03.920
to consider looking at what would church look like built according to God's pattern. How does,

145
00:14:03.920 --> 00:14:10.880
how does that look? What does it look like? Don't ask me. I've got the revelation of it.

146
00:14:10.880 --> 00:14:14.880
I've got the interpretation of it, but the application of it, that's not my part. See,

147
00:14:14.880 --> 00:14:20.800
I taught about the, the, the, the three, three levels of the three parts of, of what a prophet

148
00:14:20.800 --> 00:14:27.520
or an apostle must have revelation, interpretation, and application. And we don't get the whole three.

149
00:14:27.520 --> 00:14:33.280
We only get the two. Let one prophet speak and by two or three, by another two or three,

150
00:14:33.280 --> 00:14:36.880
they weigh up what he's saying. And that's when, when we come together collectively,

151
00:14:36.880 --> 00:14:41.600
when the apostles came together, the prophets came together and they weighed up what was being said,

152
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:46.960
and they got the mind of Christ. We have the mind of Christ, not me, me, me, we, we, we,

153
00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:52.720
as plural, not singular. And I think that's been a problem in the body of Christ for a long time

154
00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:57.920
as that got strong leaders and doing great things for God and, and totally anointed.

155
00:14:57.920 --> 00:14:59.680
You know, God's power has fruit.

156
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:05.120
fruit of the evidence is upon them. But sometimes, you know, we can get caught up and think that,

157
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:12.800
I've got the key. Me has got the key. And you can look down on smaller churches,

158
00:15:12.800 --> 00:15:18.880
well, you aren't as big as me. So, you know, maybe you need to learn from me. But it doesn't

159
00:15:19.680 --> 00:15:26.160
deny that. It doesn't matter about the size of the churches. Is that a person with a gifting of

160
00:15:26.160 --> 00:15:32.480
God on their life. I know there are apostles, there are prophets, they may not have great

161
00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:40.240
ministries that are shaking the world, but they have insights that I need. They have insights,

162
00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:45.760
and we're going to look beyond the size of our ministry and look to the gifting that God has

163
00:15:45.760 --> 00:15:50.240
graced each member of the body of Christ, especially when it comes to the fivefold

164
00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:55.520
leadership. And we've got to look beyond the size of the ministry, the size of the church,

165
00:15:55.520 --> 00:16:04.400
and look at the function or the gifting of God upon that leader. And the things we have to look

166
00:16:04.400 --> 00:16:10.320
for, of course, is, it's got to be some fruit, because if we're connected to Jesus, you can't

167
00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:15.120
help but be fruitful. So there's got to be evidence of fruit, but more than fruit, there's

168
00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:20.400
got to be evidence of the character of God, the character of Christ. So, you know, the dove has

169
00:16:20.400 --> 00:16:27.360
got two wings, of course, every bird's got two wings. But I heard that the dove has nine bones

170
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:31.440
or nine feathers on one wing and nine on the other. I don't know whether that's right or not,

171
00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:36.160
but it sounds nice and spiritual. But nine is a number of the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit,

172
00:16:36.160 --> 00:16:41.920
the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit. And that God wants us to grow up, that believers that know how

173
00:16:41.920 --> 00:16:46.720
to move in the gifts of the Holy Spirit, but they don't have the character of Jesus, then that's an

174
00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:52.160
unbalanced thing. That doesn't represent Jesus. And then, on the other hand, believers who move

175
00:16:52.160 --> 00:16:57.680
in the fruits of Jesus, the character of Jesus, the love and the compassion and the mercy,

176
00:16:57.680 --> 00:17:01.600
but they don't move in the supernatural, the power of Jesus, that's also an imbalance.

177
00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:05.839
Having said that, I'd rather work with somebody who's got the character of Christ

178
00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:09.839
and that doesn't move in power, than work with somebody who's got the power of Christ,

179
00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:13.200
but doesn't have the character. I'd rather have the character, because at the end of the day,

180
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:18.800
God is not more so much concerned about what we do as who we become.

181
00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:25.839
At the end of the day, God is working on not so much, He's not impressed so much by what we do,

182
00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:32.720
but who we become. Did we become like His Son? Did we allow Him to conform us to the image of

183
00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:41.040
the firstborn, Romans 8, 29? It's who I become. It's who I become as a son to God is of greater

184
00:17:43.760 --> 00:17:45.120
focus and a greater

185
00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:53.360
priority in the heart of the Father than just what I do for Him. You know, you can do a lot

186
00:17:53.360 --> 00:18:00.080
of things for God, but it doesn't mean you're mature. You can raise the dead for God. You can

187
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:08.320
do miracles for God. You can prophesy for God. But if it's reflecting the power of God, but not the

188
00:18:08.320 --> 00:18:16.320
nature of God, it's a false witness. It's not bearing witness to Jesus. And we're given power

189
00:18:16.320 --> 00:18:21.920
to bear witness to Jesus. And just to bear the power, but not the character of Christ,

190
00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:27.520
it's bearing false witness. Acts 1.8, you shall receive power from on high. You shall receive

191
00:18:27.520 --> 00:18:33.840
power after the Holy Ghost comes upon you, and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea,

192
00:18:33.840 --> 00:18:39.760
Samaria, and the outermost parts. And so, just because a person moves in the power of God,

193
00:18:39.760 --> 00:18:43.680
doesn't mean they're mature. It doesn't mean, okay, I'm going somewhere with this.

194
00:18:45.600 --> 00:18:54.400
So, Paul said to the Corinthian church, you can prophesy. You can have the gift of faith to move

195
00:18:54.400 --> 00:19:00.560
mountains. You could speak in the tongues of men and angels. You could sacrifice everything to give

196
00:19:00.560 --> 00:19:05.840
to the poor. But he said, you've got no love. You've got nothing. You're just clinging on.

197
00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:12.080
And so, what does God look like? God is love. What does the character of Jesus look like?

198
00:19:12.800 --> 00:19:18.560
It's love. It's love. And so, Paul's saying you can have all the gifts, basically, the Corinthian

199
00:19:18.560 --> 00:19:24.400
church, but you don't have the nature of Christ. You're just playing, playing, playing. And you

200
00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:30.160
know that. You've seen people operate in the power of God, but there's something bitter.

201
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:37.520
There's something, there's something about them that's not gelling with your spirit.

202
00:19:37.520 --> 00:19:42.480
Okay? And so, to have the power of God, but not the nature, the character of God develop,

203
00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:46.080
it's an imbalance. But to have the character of God, but not the nature of God,

204
00:19:47.040 --> 00:19:51.760
rather, to have the character of Christ, the nature of God, but not the power of God,

205
00:19:51.760 --> 00:19:58.000
that's also an imbalance. Okay? And Jesus wants to build his church out of sons and daughters

206
00:19:58.000 --> 00:19:59.840
who are walking in balance. You shall receive power.

207
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.560
after the Holy Spirit comes upon you should be my witnesses. So to be a

208
00:20:03.560 --> 00:20:07.920
witness means to have the character and the power. Now you've got to be careful you

209
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:11.240
don't focus on the power of God. You've got to be careful you're not focusing on

210
00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:16.080
your destiny more than your identity. Make sure you're establishing

211
00:20:16.080 --> 00:20:22.360
your identity first, destiny second. Identity first, destiny second. Identity

212
00:20:22.360 --> 00:20:27.280
first, destiny second. Know who you are first before knowing what you're called

213
00:20:27.280 --> 00:20:32.520
to do. Know who you are first before knowing what you're called to do. Know

214
00:20:32.520 --> 00:20:36.880
who you are first in Christ before you're trying to find out what you're

215
00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:41.280
called to do. Because if all you focus on is what you're called to do and you're

216
00:20:41.280 --> 00:20:45.480
achieving things all the time and you'll never be happy, you'll never be content

217
00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:49.720
because a sense of achievement will never replace a sense of significance.

218
00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:55.200
And significance is about who you are. Significance is a state of being and

219
00:20:55.240 --> 00:21:01.320
destiny or ministry is a state of doing. And you can do and do and do stuff for

220
00:21:01.320 --> 00:21:07.560
God and still not know Him. You can do stuff for God and still not be close to

221
00:21:07.560 --> 00:21:13.400
Him and not even know who you really are. And you've been doing stuff for God out

222
00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:19.360
of an effort to please Him. Because you don't know. You already please Him.

223
00:21:19.360 --> 00:21:23.560
You haven't got that revelation that He loves you for who you are. He doesn't

224
00:21:23.560 --> 00:21:28.600
love you for what you do for Him. He loves you for who you are. He loved you

225
00:21:28.600 --> 00:21:34.880
before you gave your life to Him. While we were yet sinners, this is love. That

226
00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:41.440
God loved us. He loved you before you did anything for Him. So the fact that you

227
00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:45.680
get born again and you start doing stuff for God and thinking that God's going to

228
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:51.080
be pleased with you now, it's deception. To think that God's

229
00:21:51.080 --> 00:21:55.200
going to love you now because you're doing these works for God. You've

230
00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:59.440
got a ministry and you're doing stuff. You're achieving things for God. To

231
00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:03.080
think that God loves you now is a deception. He loved you before. And you've

232
00:22:03.080 --> 00:22:06.280
got to get this in your heart. You've got to get the revelation that He loves you

233
00:22:06.280 --> 00:22:11.040
for who you are. It doesn't mean you don't do anything until you get that

234
00:22:11.040 --> 00:22:15.400
revelation. I didn't. I just went out there and did stuff that I could. And in my

235
00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:20.440
journey with Jesus, He revealed more and more how much He loved me. And so

236
00:22:20.440 --> 00:22:26.800
my motive behind doing things for God became more and more away from trying to

237
00:22:26.800 --> 00:22:33.000
please God to, wow, I am pleasing to God. And so my motivation behind what I did

238
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:37.920
changed after over a few years actually. You grow into this. It doesn't

239
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:42.680
come at once. And so don't focus primarily on your ministry

240
00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:47.680
and neglecting your character. We'll talk about that shortly. You know, there

241
00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:51.640
was a group in Luke, I think it was, and Jesus said, many will come to me on that

242
00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:56.560
day and say, Lord, Lord, didn't we cast out devils in your name, prophesied in your

243
00:22:56.560 --> 00:23:00.440
own name, all these wonderful miracles in your name. And the Lord says,

244
00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:07.720
I didn't know you guys. I didn't know you. And it's better to know

245
00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:11.600
Jesus. And it's better to know that you're known by Jesus. It's better to

246
00:23:11.600 --> 00:23:17.040
focus on relationship. See, Jesus is not impressed by their ministry. He's not

247
00:23:17.080 --> 00:23:22.240
impressed by the things they did for him. He said, I didn't know you. I didn't know

248
00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:27.880
you guys. It's more important to know Jesus and for you to know him and him to

249
00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:32.120
know you. It's more important to have a relationship with Jesus first, not

250
00:23:32.120 --> 00:23:38.640
ministry with Jesus. And so that's been one of the great, I guess it happens

251
00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:44.720
in every generation, but unfortunately I've seen it as quite a widespread

252
00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:50.160
thing in our nation. See, before I was born again, I was an insecure guy, very

253
00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:58.640
insecure. I hated being Māori for a start because me and my brothers and

254
00:23:58.640 --> 00:24:04.600
sister, we were the only Māoris in the school down in Ōmaru at the time, so we

255
00:24:04.600 --> 00:24:10.400
used to get called nigger and darkie. And so I grew up with the disdain of being

256
00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:16.080
Māori. I also didn't want to be poor and my parents were poor. And I loved my

257
00:24:16.080 --> 00:24:21.040
parents, but a lot of the other kids came from wealthy farmer

258
00:24:21.040 --> 00:24:28.720
families and we didn't. And so I felt sort of a sense of shame and it

259
00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:32.320
wasn't them. They didn't impose that on me. This was just my perception and I

260
00:24:32.360 --> 00:24:40.880
perceived myself as just a poor, insecure Māori. And I hated my identity.

261
00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:50.200
I hated who I was. And so I grew up with this chronic, I would call it

262
00:24:50.200 --> 00:24:56.960
chronic insecurity. It got so bad, it's funny now, but when I was, I don't know

263
00:24:56.960 --> 00:25:01.640
what the age would be, nine, ten, twelve, I don't know.

264
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:06.560
But me and my brother, we would get Johnson's baby talcum powder, white powder,

265
00:25:06.560 --> 00:25:12.560
and we would rub it in our arms, and on our face, and on our legs, so we could try and look like Pākehā kids.

266
00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:22.160
See, I had this deep, deep sense of insecurity, and so we'd put talcum powder on to look like a Pākehā kid.

267
00:25:23.040 --> 00:25:33.840
As I grew up, this deep insecurity, this sense of rejection, as I grew up, it began to work in me,

268
00:25:33.840 --> 00:25:42.080
and it turned from insecurity and rejection to rebellion. And I grew up, in my teenage years,

269
00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:47.840
in my adolescent years, I just had this resentment towards society,

270
00:25:47.840 --> 00:25:53.920
which I imposed on myself. I felt that everyone was rejecting me, that everyone looked down on me,

271
00:25:53.920 --> 00:25:59.360
so as I grew up, I thought, I'll stuff you, then I'll give the world the finger.

272
00:25:59.920 --> 00:26:06.240
And so as I grew out of that, as I left high school, while I was at high school, Waitaki Boys High School,

273
00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:11.760
one of the best in the nation, my dream every day was to be a Hells Angel. My career choice was to

274
00:26:11.760 --> 00:26:17.520
be a Hells Angel. And I just wanted to live a life of rebellion, and a life that stuffed the world.

275
00:26:18.320 --> 00:26:23.360
And I was taught evolution, and evolution teaches that there's no future, that you come from nothing,

276
00:26:23.360 --> 00:26:28.480
you go to nothing. You come from a black hole, and you go to a black hole. And so, because I

277
00:26:28.480 --> 00:26:33.440
didn't know Jesus, that's the only teaching that I had about life. I thought, that sucks.

278
00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:39.520
If all we do when we die is go to a black hole, and no one remembers the good or evil that we did,

279
00:26:39.520 --> 00:26:46.160
why do good? If no one's going to remember whether you're Adolf Hitler or Mother Teresa, why do good?

280
00:26:46.160 --> 00:26:52.640
And so the seed of rebellion got into me, and I became a white man. I got around with the gangs,

281
00:26:52.640 --> 00:26:59.040
and caused heartache, and hell, and caused heart attacks to my own father, because there's a deep,

282
00:26:59.040 --> 00:27:04.160
deep sense of insecurity. There's a deep, deep sense of not knowing who am I, my identity.

283
00:27:05.280 --> 00:27:12.960
I was so fearful, and so insecure, that unless I was drinking, then I was bold as brass.

284
00:27:13.840 --> 00:27:21.440
But I was so insecure, that my best friend asked me to be his best man at his wedding,

285
00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:25.520
years and years, this was decades ago. And I knew if I become his best man, that I'm going to have

286
00:27:25.520 --> 00:27:34.640
to do a speech at the wedding. And that just scared the crap out of me. And I refused. I just,

287
00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:42.720
I had to, I had to, I had to, I didn't accept the invitation, the honor of my best friend. I,

288
00:27:43.760 --> 00:27:50.240
I turned him down, broke his heart. And he never understood why. And the reason why,

289
00:27:50.240 --> 00:27:56.480
because I was so insecure, to stand up in front of people and speak. Oh, shame. So I carried a

290
00:27:56.480 --> 00:28:01.360
lot of shame, a lot of a sense of shame and insecurity in my life. It was chronic. This

291
00:28:01.360 --> 00:28:09.760
is right up till about age 22. And it was when I was 22, when I had an encounter with God.

292
00:28:10.800 --> 00:28:14.880
And if you, I don't know if I shared my testimony with you the first,

293
00:28:16.400 --> 00:28:21.200
well, I'll share it with you now. How did I meet Jesus? I met the devil first,

294
00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:29.280
and then I met Jesus. I met the devil and Jesus on the same night. And it was after I met Jesus,

295
00:28:29.280 --> 00:28:34.640
that I discovered who I was. And so we'll come back to that. Is that okay? Let's put it on pause.

296
00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:40.480
Okay, this is how I met Jesus. I was living in Sydney at the time, in a place called Waverley,

297
00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:47.280
which is on the border of Bondi Junction and Bondi. And my best friend was a, was a pimp.

298
00:28:47.280 --> 00:28:51.760
He had pushed heroin. And he also had had a high class prostitute working for him.

299
00:28:52.320 --> 00:28:57.520
And as well as made his wife work in a massage parlor. And he was bringing home six to eight

300
00:28:57.600 --> 00:29:01.280
hundred dollars, or she was bringing home, his prostitute was bringing home six to eight hundred

301
00:29:01.280 --> 00:29:07.680
bucks a night. So we would party, smoke drugs, hire cars. And because I was a fighter and I

302
00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:13.200
liked to fight, and I was a, I was trained to be middleweight, a middleweight boxing champ by 27.

303
00:29:13.200 --> 00:29:19.040
That was my goal back then. And so I was training every day. And I could fight. I loved to fight.

304
00:29:19.760 --> 00:29:24.800
He, because we were best friends, when he went selling drugs, doing the deals, he took me with

305
00:29:24.800 --> 00:29:30.160
him to be like his minder, which I didn't mind because, you know, I got, I got free dope for it.

306
00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:36.880
So he was my best friend and we were like that. And one day, my best friend, he slowly started

307
00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:40.560
getting impressed. And one day we're going to the King's Cross and he had his prostitute in the

308
00:29:40.560 --> 00:29:45.120
back seat while she was driving her over there. And he just snapped in his brain because he had

309
00:29:45.120 --> 00:29:52.560
a car accident and he had damaged his brain cells or brain cells. And, but he kept taking LSD and

310
00:29:52.560 --> 00:29:57.920
chemicals and drugs. We both did. And those chemicals began to eat away at the, what I sense,

311
00:29:57.920 --> 00:29:59.760
what I understand was at the, um,

312
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:02.120
damaged nerves, or the damaged brain cells.

313
00:30:02.120 --> 00:30:04.800
And he, so he's driving and he just stops the car

314
00:30:04.800 --> 00:30:06.680
in the middle of the street, puts the brakes on,

315
00:30:06.680 --> 00:30:07.920
and he climbed over the back seat

316
00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:11.800
and he's trying to strangle this high class prostitute.

317
00:30:11.800 --> 00:30:13.640
So I had to grab him and just pull him off

318
00:30:13.640 --> 00:30:16.080
or, you know, try and put him back,

319
00:30:16.080 --> 00:30:17.800
snap him, slap him together.

320
00:30:17.800 --> 00:30:20.520
And I remember thinking at that time,

321
00:30:20.520 --> 00:30:23.240
far mate, you need, you're a mess.

322
00:30:23.240 --> 00:30:25.480
You need to get a grip on your life.

323
00:30:25.480 --> 00:30:27.240
And I thought, you know, my life was bad enough,

324
00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:29.200
but my mate, he was worse.

325
00:30:29.240 --> 00:30:31.440
And I know, I love my mate, still do.

326
00:30:31.440 --> 00:30:33.160
So anyway, he's frothing at the mouth

327
00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:34.240
and he's driving the car,

328
00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:36.240
I think, far, what's wrong with you, man?

329
00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:39.600
And then he'd come right and then he'd go crazy again.

330
00:30:39.600 --> 00:30:42.640
So he was up and down, he was just a real unusual,

331
00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:45.120
going through some hell, he has a few demons in him.

332
00:30:45.120 --> 00:30:49.600
And so anyway, one day he lived in Vaucluse,

333
00:30:49.600 --> 00:30:51.640
a posh suburb in Sydney,

334
00:30:51.640 --> 00:30:54.480
and it was way up and they had this little cable car

335
00:30:54.480 --> 00:30:58.480
that took you up to the door of this big drug flat.

336
00:30:58.480 --> 00:30:59.800
So it looked like Disneyland

337
00:30:59.800 --> 00:31:02.320
and it was brought in on drug money, he had the best.

338
00:31:02.320 --> 00:31:04.240
So one day I went up there,

339
00:31:04.240 --> 00:31:06.240
cause I would go up there and party all the time.

340
00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:08.080
One day I went up there and he's gone.

341
00:31:08.080 --> 00:31:09.720
The house is empty, the furniture's gone,

342
00:31:09.720 --> 00:31:10.600
there's no one there.

343
00:31:10.600 --> 00:31:13.080
So I thought he's been busted, he must be in jail.

344
00:31:13.080 --> 00:31:15.440
And, but I found out a few weeks later

345
00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:17.000
that he's not busted,

346
00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:19.280
he's living in a little flat over at King's Cross.

347
00:31:19.280 --> 00:31:20.760
So I found out where he was,

348
00:31:20.760 --> 00:31:22.520
I wasn't a Christian at the time.

349
00:31:22.520 --> 00:31:24.840
So I went over there, I thought we'll party.

350
00:31:24.840 --> 00:31:26.160
And I had a bottle of Jim Beam

351
00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:28.160
and a big bag of dope in my pocket.

352
00:31:28.720 --> 00:31:31.040
And I banged on the door and buzzed him

353
00:31:31.040 --> 00:31:31.960
and he looked out the window,

354
00:31:31.960 --> 00:31:33.040
he, Norm, Norm, come up.

355
00:31:33.040 --> 00:31:35.320
So I was like, where you been, you mongrel?

356
00:31:35.320 --> 00:31:36.360
That's how we were.

357
00:31:36.360 --> 00:31:38.760
And so he let me up, I was running up the stairs,

358
00:31:38.760 --> 00:31:40.920
opened the door, went into the flat

359
00:31:40.920 --> 00:31:42.600
and there's, he's sitting on the,

360
00:31:42.600 --> 00:31:43.560
we're giving him a hug.

361
00:31:43.560 --> 00:31:47.200
He's sitting there, his wife and his prostitute.

362
00:31:47.200 --> 00:31:49.720
And they're all sitting there beaming, just smiling.

363
00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:51.080
And I got the bottle of Jim Beam

364
00:31:51.080 --> 00:31:52.240
and I said, come on, let's party.

365
00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:53.160
Where have you guys been?

366
00:31:53.160 --> 00:31:55.200
Tell me what's been happening and blah, blah, blah.

367
00:31:55.200 --> 00:31:57.440
And they said, oh, have you been drinking, Norm?

368
00:31:57.480 --> 00:31:59.240
Oh, it stinks.

369
00:31:59.240 --> 00:32:00.720
I said, yeah, yeah, of course I have.

370
00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:01.960
This is what we do.

371
00:32:01.960 --> 00:32:04.960
And they said, we don't need that anymore.

372
00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:07.080
We found Jesus.

373
00:32:07.080 --> 00:32:08.360
What?

374
00:32:08.360 --> 00:32:10.520
He said, we found Jesus.

375
00:32:10.520 --> 00:32:12.040
Because I thought they were stoned

376
00:32:12.040 --> 00:32:13.360
because they were so happy.

377
00:32:13.360 --> 00:32:14.800
I said, what are you guys on?

378
00:32:14.800 --> 00:32:16.400
He says, we're not on anything.

379
00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:17.960
We found Jesus.

380
00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:19.840
Now, if it was anyone else, I think,

381
00:32:19.840 --> 00:32:21.400
oh, what a lot of crap.

382
00:32:21.400 --> 00:32:23.960
In fact, I said, oh, no, come on.

383
00:32:23.960 --> 00:32:25.360
That's what, he's a fairy tale.

384
00:32:25.360 --> 00:32:26.800
It's like Easter bunny and all that.

385
00:32:26.800 --> 00:32:27.880
He's not real.

386
00:32:27.880 --> 00:32:29.320
He's like Santa Claus.

387
00:32:29.320 --> 00:32:31.360
But my mate, because we're like that,

388
00:32:31.360 --> 00:32:33.960
he says, nah, man, he told me I was so depressed

389
00:32:33.960 --> 00:32:35.320
that I nearly lost it.

390
00:32:35.320 --> 00:32:37.760
And I cried out of my heart to Jesus

391
00:32:37.760 --> 00:32:38.920
because I know who he is.

392
00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:41.000
So my mate was from Thessalonica.

393
00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:42.520
He's a Greek guy, Greek fella.

394
00:32:43.440 --> 00:32:46.200
He had it tattooed across his puku, Thessalonica.

395
00:32:46.200 --> 00:32:49.360
And he says, and I gave my life to Jesus

396
00:32:49.360 --> 00:32:51.400
and he put my mind back in the right place.

397
00:32:51.400 --> 00:32:53.560
And he said, I'm never going back.

398
00:32:53.560 --> 00:32:54.800
I said, what?

399
00:32:54.840 --> 00:32:56.840
And then his wife and the prostitute says,

400
00:32:56.840 --> 00:32:58.280
we saw the change in him.

401
00:32:58.280 --> 00:33:00.000
We thought, this is for real.

402
00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:02.280
And so they turned to Jesus as well.

403
00:33:02.280 --> 00:33:04.800
And the ex prostitute, she married a preacher.

404
00:33:04.800 --> 00:33:07.320
She's in Greece, as far as I know.

405
00:33:07.320 --> 00:33:11.680
And so I'm looking and I'm listening

406
00:33:12.600 --> 00:33:14.560
and I'm stoned, I'm drunk,

407
00:33:14.560 --> 00:33:19.080
but after listening to them, I'm straight as.

408
00:33:19.080 --> 00:33:22.320
And I know this has to be for real.

409
00:33:22.320 --> 00:33:23.880
Jesus must be real

410
00:33:23.920 --> 00:33:25.680
because nothing could change my mate.

411
00:33:25.680 --> 00:33:26.520
And he's my mate.

412
00:33:26.520 --> 00:33:27.360
He's not lying to me.

413
00:33:27.360 --> 00:33:29.200
And I can see the change in his life.

414
00:33:29.200 --> 00:33:31.080
And over the next few weeks, months,

415
00:33:31.080 --> 00:33:32.720
I saw the change in his life.

416
00:33:32.720 --> 00:33:35.160
The fire, Jesus is real.

417
00:33:35.160 --> 00:33:37.360
But for me, it was a bit of a problem.

418
00:33:37.360 --> 00:33:41.160
I thought, oh, if Jesus is real, the devil's real,

419
00:33:41.160 --> 00:33:42.880
heaven's real, hell's real.

420
00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:45.320
And if I die, I know I'll go to hell,

421
00:33:45.320 --> 00:33:47.520
but I don't want to be a good Christian.

422
00:33:47.520 --> 00:33:50.280
And so I said to my mate, I says,

423
00:33:50.280 --> 00:33:52.880
how do I get to heaven without having to be

424
00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:53.960
like a Christian?

425
00:33:53.960 --> 00:33:55.880
He says, it's not about religion, Norm.

426
00:33:55.880 --> 00:33:58.040
It's about having a relationship with Jesus.

427
00:33:58.040 --> 00:34:00.320
And he says, on your deepest, darkest moment,

428
00:34:00.320 --> 00:34:03.800
a time in life, on your deepest night of your life,

429
00:34:03.800 --> 00:34:05.240
call on the name of Jesus.

430
00:34:05.240 --> 00:34:06.520
Call on the name of the Lord.

431
00:34:06.520 --> 00:34:07.520
He'll help you, Norm.

432
00:34:07.520 --> 00:34:09.520
I said, oh, whatever.

433
00:34:09.520 --> 00:34:12.120
And so there's a bit of a dilemma in my heart.

434
00:34:12.120 --> 00:34:13.159
There's a heaven and a hell.

435
00:34:13.159 --> 00:34:15.159
And I know if I died, I'd go to hell.

436
00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:17.600
But at the same time, I don't want to be a Christian

437
00:34:17.600 --> 00:34:19.800
because I thought it was about rules and regulations.

438
00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:22.480
Okay, move forward about, I don't know,

439
00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:23.800
two months, three months.

440
00:34:23.800 --> 00:34:25.199
I don't know what the timeframe is.

441
00:34:25.199 --> 00:34:27.199
It was back in 77.

442
00:34:27.199 --> 00:34:32.199
So now I'm with some mates and we're having a session.

443
00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:35.880
So we got a bong and we're sucking up the old hash.

444
00:34:35.880 --> 00:34:38.760
And the hash is, it's crap hash

445
00:34:38.760 --> 00:34:42.679
that mafia put stricken horse tranquilizer

446
00:34:42.679 --> 00:34:44.199
to give it more of a boost.

447
00:34:44.199 --> 00:34:45.520
And that's what they would do over there.

448
00:34:45.520 --> 00:34:46.960
They can cure it.

449
00:34:46.960 --> 00:34:49.000
So I was sucking up this horse,

450
00:34:49.000 --> 00:34:51.800
this hash laced with horse tranquilizer.

451
00:34:51.800 --> 00:34:54.480
Now I was born with a heart murmur.

452
00:34:54.480 --> 00:34:57.960
And so when I was sucking in the hash,

453
00:34:57.960 --> 00:35:00.080
you know, the horse tranquilizer.

454
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:01.240
It's full of horse hearts.

455
00:35:01.240 --> 00:35:03.960
When it hit me, my heart went crazy.

456
00:35:03.960 --> 00:35:06.640
We actually, all of us in the house OD'd.

457
00:35:06.640 --> 00:35:07.800
They all fell on the floor.

458
00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:11.320
I fell off my chair and I crawled out to the front

459
00:35:11.320 --> 00:35:14.200
because my head was going boom, boom, boom.

460
00:35:14.200 --> 00:35:15.920
My heart was going crazy.

461
00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:18.240
I felt like I was gonna die.

462
00:35:18.240 --> 00:35:19.960
My head just kept spinning.

463
00:35:19.960 --> 00:35:21.600
And so that made me want to vomit.

464
00:35:21.600 --> 00:35:24.880
So I crawled outside, lay face down and started vomiting.

465
00:35:24.880 --> 00:35:26.920
And as I'm lying face down,

466
00:35:26.920 --> 00:35:29.440
this paralysis came over me and I was paralyzed

467
00:35:29.520 --> 00:35:31.040
and I couldn't move, I'm just boom,

468
00:35:31.040 --> 00:35:33.000
face down in my own vomit.

469
00:35:33.000 --> 00:35:35.880
And as my head spins, the vomit keeps coming up.

470
00:35:35.880 --> 00:35:38.200
The more my head spins, the more I vomit.

471
00:35:38.200 --> 00:35:40.560
It came up, the vomit covered my mouth,

472
00:35:40.560 --> 00:35:45.240
covered my nostril and I had one nostril above the vomit.

473
00:35:45.240 --> 00:35:46.960
And as I'm lying there in my own vomit

474
00:35:46.960 --> 00:35:48.120
and there's no one around to help,

475
00:35:48.120 --> 00:35:49.720
this is in the middle of night,

476
00:35:49.720 --> 00:35:52.480
I am just freaking out and many of my friends

477
00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:53.880
or some of my friends had died,

478
00:35:53.880 --> 00:35:55.080
they drowned in their own vomit

479
00:35:55.080 --> 00:35:56.880
and I thought I'd never die like that.

480
00:35:56.920 --> 00:35:58.920
But here I am, paralyzed,

481
00:35:58.920 --> 00:36:01.040
lying face down in my vomit about to die.

482
00:36:02.800 --> 00:36:03.640
And I'm freaking out.

483
00:36:03.640 --> 00:36:05.600
I'm not afraid, I'm just angry.

484
00:36:05.600 --> 00:36:08.760
I'm just like, how could I die like this?

485
00:36:08.760 --> 00:36:10.920
And it's just, I can't move.

486
00:36:10.920 --> 00:36:12.120
I couldn't even move my eyelids.

487
00:36:12.120 --> 00:36:13.400
I just can't move anything.

488
00:36:13.400 --> 00:36:15.320
I'm just like rigid.

489
00:36:15.320 --> 00:36:19.440
And then I felt somebody's feet come up to me

490
00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:21.840
on the left side.

491
00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:25.120
I felt somebody's feet was on my feet that's down there.

492
00:36:25.120 --> 00:36:26.360
I felt someone's feet there.

493
00:36:26.360 --> 00:36:28.800
So in my mind, I'm willing them, help me, help me.

494
00:36:28.800 --> 00:36:31.920
Turn me over, just move my head, help me.

495
00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:35.120
And whoever it was just laughed at me.

496
00:36:35.120 --> 00:36:37.800
I heard them laugh at me, a real evil laugh.

497
00:36:37.800 --> 00:36:40.000
And then they said, I've got you now.

498
00:36:40.000 --> 00:36:41.480
I've got you now.

499
00:36:41.480 --> 00:36:44.680
And I knew, I didn't believe in the devil or God

500
00:36:44.680 --> 00:36:46.960
in that sense, I wasn't following God.

501
00:36:46.960 --> 00:36:48.960
But I knew right then that was,

502
00:36:48.960 --> 00:36:50.280
I thought that must be the devil.

503
00:36:50.280 --> 00:36:52.600
That is such the most evil person,

504
00:36:52.600 --> 00:36:54.600
evil voice I've ever heard.

505
00:36:54.600 --> 00:36:58.120
And what I thought is it's come to drag me to hell

506
00:36:58.120 --> 00:37:00.160
and I'm gonna die and I gotta go to hell.

507
00:37:00.160 --> 00:37:02.640
This thing's gonna take me to hell and hell's real

508
00:37:02.640 --> 00:37:03.800
and I'm stuffed.

509
00:37:03.800 --> 00:37:06.960
That's what I was thinking, face down in my vomit.

510
00:37:06.960 --> 00:37:11.760
And so at the same time,

511
00:37:11.760 --> 00:37:14.880
my mate's words, the words that he said to me,

512
00:37:14.880 --> 00:37:19.880
Norm, in the darkest hour, call on the name of Jesus.

513
00:37:20.080 --> 00:37:22.920
And now I've never prayed in my life.

514
00:37:22.920 --> 00:37:23.760
And I couldn't talk

515
00:37:23.760 --> 00:37:25.800
because my mouth is underneath, submerged.

516
00:37:25.800 --> 00:37:27.760
So all I did find, I just thought,

517
00:37:27.760 --> 00:37:30.760
I just, in my mind, I just thought, Jesus, help me.

518
00:37:30.760 --> 00:37:32.960
And so I did, Jesus, help me.

519
00:37:34.640 --> 00:37:38.960
I tell you, as soon as I thought that up,

520
00:37:38.960 --> 00:37:41.600
thought that, that thought went out of my head,

521
00:37:41.600 --> 00:37:42.760
my head stopped spinning.

522
00:37:42.760 --> 00:37:45.040
Literally, it stopped spinning immediately

523
00:37:45.040 --> 00:37:46.880
and peace came on me.

524
00:37:46.880 --> 00:37:48.440
And because my head stopped spinning,

525
00:37:48.440 --> 00:37:51.000
it stopped my gut from vomiting.

526
00:37:51.040 --> 00:37:53.360
And so I was able to lie there

527
00:37:53.360 --> 00:37:55.480
and breathe through that one nostril.

528
00:37:55.480 --> 00:37:57.600
And I think it was about a half an hour later,

529
00:37:57.600 --> 00:38:00.360
the perilous, I felt it just lift off my shoulder,

530
00:38:00.360 --> 00:38:01.280
lift off my body.

531
00:38:01.280 --> 00:38:03.880
And I was able to sit up.

532
00:38:03.880 --> 00:38:05.960
And I'll never forget, I had the hair down to here then.

533
00:38:05.960 --> 00:38:08.240
I was long-haired, long-haired lout back then.

534
00:38:08.240 --> 00:38:10.400
And all the vomit, all the carrots,

535
00:38:10.400 --> 00:38:13.120
all the chunk of the, it was all in my hair.

536
00:38:13.120 --> 00:38:16.280
I remember pulling it out of my hair and it stunk.

537
00:38:16.280 --> 00:38:17.360
And I remember thinking,

538
00:38:17.360 --> 00:38:19.040
there's no way I'm gonna be able to get a taxi

539
00:38:19.040 --> 00:38:20.960
to take me to my flat after this.

540
00:38:20.960 --> 00:38:22.240
But at the same time, I was thinking,

541
00:38:22.240 --> 00:38:26.880
I'm alive because I called on the name of Jesus.

542
00:38:26.880 --> 00:38:28.720
He's real.

543
00:38:28.720 --> 00:38:33.720
And so that was 1977, probably about November, 1977.

544
00:38:33.920 --> 00:38:35.040
That's when I met Jesus.

545
00:38:35.040 --> 00:38:37.800
I met the devil and Jesus on the same night.

546
00:38:37.800 --> 00:38:39.840
And it wasn't in church.

547
00:38:39.840 --> 00:38:43.440
It was right there on the gates of hell.

548
00:38:44.400 --> 00:38:45.720
That's how I met Jesus.

549
00:38:46.680 --> 00:38:48.960
Okay, so it was my first encounter with God,

550
00:38:49.880 --> 00:38:50.720
with Jesus.

551
00:38:50.720 --> 00:38:52.200
Now, I didn't become a Christian in the sense of,

552
00:38:52.200 --> 00:38:53.800
I didn't start going to church,

553
00:38:53.800 --> 00:38:55.640
but I knew that Jesus was real.

554
00:38:55.640 --> 00:38:58.600
And I knew that I shouldn't be doing the stuff I'm doing.

555
00:38:58.600 --> 00:39:01.000
I knew that what I was doing now was sin.

556
00:39:01.000 --> 00:39:01.920
I just had a conscience.

557
00:39:01.920 --> 00:39:05.080
I knew lying, stealing, fornicating,

558
00:39:05.080 --> 00:39:07.120
getting stoned, getting drunk.

559
00:39:07.120 --> 00:39:08.480
I just knew inside my conscience

560
00:39:08.480 --> 00:39:09.800
that I shouldn't be doing this.

561
00:39:09.800 --> 00:39:11.760
And so in my mind, I would say to God,

562
00:39:11.760 --> 00:39:14.040
hey, look, God, look after me.

563
00:39:14.040 --> 00:39:15.640
Don't let me overdose this month

564
00:39:15.640 --> 00:39:17.840
and I'll give my life to you next month.

565
00:39:17.880 --> 00:39:20.240
I literally said that to God every month.

566
00:39:20.240 --> 00:39:21.920
And month after month after month.

567
00:39:21.920 --> 00:39:23.600
And this went on for two years.

568
00:39:23.600 --> 00:39:26.000
And in that two year period, I met Jess.

569
00:39:26.000 --> 00:39:28.560
And we got pregnant.

570
00:39:28.560 --> 00:39:29.400
She got pregnant.

571
00:39:29.400 --> 00:39:30.960
Well, I got her pregnant.

572
00:39:30.960 --> 00:39:34.760
And, but I loved her and I wanted to make it work.

573
00:39:34.760 --> 00:39:35.920
We got married.

574
00:39:35.920 --> 00:39:38.640
And when we got married, well, I'll tell you what,

575
00:39:40.040 --> 00:39:42.400
we were ready to divorce 10 months later

576
00:39:42.400 --> 00:39:43.800
because I had demons in me.

577
00:39:43.800 --> 00:39:45.240
I had stuff all my life.

578
00:39:45.240 --> 00:39:46.160
I had insecurity.

579
00:39:46.200 --> 00:39:48.000
I had terrible stuff happening in me.

580
00:39:48.000 --> 00:39:50.800
But before that happened, before that happened,

581
00:39:50.800 --> 00:39:51.920
and that's another story.

582
00:39:51.920 --> 00:39:56.920
I'm gonna bring Jess online sometime on this course.

583
00:39:56.960 --> 00:39:59.960
And we're just gonna share how God took us.

584
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:05.000
from the honeymoon from hell to where we are today,

585
00:40:05.120 --> 00:40:07.160
the honeymoon from hell to the marriage from heaven.

586
00:40:07.160 --> 00:40:09.040
We're gonna talk about that.

587
00:40:09.040 --> 00:40:13.240
She can share some of her story and her side of the story.

588
00:40:13.240 --> 00:40:16.080
So, why am I telling you all this?

589
00:40:16.080 --> 00:40:20.640
I've met Jesus and after 24 months, okay,

590
00:40:20.640 --> 00:40:25.000
I knew that I can't keep living like this

591
00:40:25.000 --> 00:40:26.720
because my marriage was ready to split up

592
00:40:26.720 --> 00:40:30.720
and I know that if I go back to my old life,

593
00:40:30.720 --> 00:40:32.680
I'll go back, I'll go to hell.

594
00:40:32.680 --> 00:40:34.360
Anyway, that's another story.

595
00:40:34.360 --> 00:40:36.320
So, let's go back there.

596
00:40:36.320 --> 00:40:39.800
Back to 1977, I have an encounter with Jesus.

597
00:40:39.800 --> 00:40:43.180
Suddenly, I feel a sense of, not significance,

598
00:40:43.180 --> 00:40:48.180
but a sense of belonging that, wow, I'm not a mistake.

599
00:40:49.720 --> 00:40:51.920
I'm not, I didn't come out of nothing.

600
00:40:51.920 --> 00:40:53.880
I came from God.

601
00:40:53.880 --> 00:40:57.360
That's different from coming from evolution, from a monkey.

602
00:40:57.360 --> 00:40:59.280
So, I went and bought a Bible, a Good News Bible,

603
00:40:59.280 --> 00:41:02.480
and I sat in Central Park down in Sydney

604
00:41:02.480 --> 00:41:05.000
and I read from the book of Genesis 1 to 3,

605
00:41:05.000 --> 00:41:06.320
chapter 1 to chapter 3.

606
00:41:07.280 --> 00:41:08.720
Good way to start, eh?

607
00:41:08.720 --> 00:41:11.080
And by the time I had finished chapter 3,

608
00:41:11.080 --> 00:41:13.580
the spirit of God came on, gave me a revelation

609
00:41:13.580 --> 00:41:15.240
that all the creation that I saw

610
00:41:15.240 --> 00:41:16.560
did not come from evolution,

611
00:41:16.560 --> 00:41:18.800
that God created the tree I'm leaning against,

612
00:41:18.800 --> 00:41:21.840
that God created those birds, that God created the grass,

613
00:41:21.840 --> 00:41:25.960
and this wow, it's like being stoned, came on me, wow!

614
00:41:25.960 --> 00:41:28.280
And then I realised that God created me.

615
00:41:28.280 --> 00:41:29.880
And I spoke at my heart to God,

616
00:41:29.880 --> 00:41:33.280
I didn't have a pride, you made me the way I am.

617
00:41:33.280 --> 00:41:37.200
And I sensed, He said, yeah, part Maori and part Pākehā.

618
00:41:37.200 --> 00:41:39.200
I thought, Joe, really?

619
00:41:39.200 --> 00:41:42.360
Oh, and from that moment, my insecurity left me,

620
00:41:42.360 --> 00:41:44.040
from that moment.

621
00:41:44.040 --> 00:41:46.840
All that to say, I learnt who I was.

622
00:41:46.840 --> 00:41:49.120
I found my identity.

623
00:41:49.120 --> 00:41:51.080
I found my identity in God.

624
00:41:51.080 --> 00:41:54.600
And two years later, we came to Christ.

625
00:41:54.600 --> 00:41:56.920
I gave my life fully to Jesus.

626
00:41:56.920 --> 00:41:59.080
And as I gave my life fully to Jesus,

627
00:41:59.080 --> 00:42:01.800
I learnt more about Him and about His love for me.

628
00:42:01.800 --> 00:42:03.560
And as I learnt about His love for me,

629
00:42:03.560 --> 00:42:05.000
I also learnt how to minister

630
00:42:05.000 --> 00:42:06.320
and how to develop the ministry

631
00:42:06.320 --> 00:42:08.520
and the calling on my life at the same time.

632
00:42:09.760 --> 00:42:14.760
But the sense of identity was restored to me.

633
00:42:15.240 --> 00:42:17.800
And I no longer was ashamed to be Māori or Pākehā.

634
00:42:17.800 --> 00:42:19.160
I was no longer trying,

635
00:42:19.200 --> 00:42:21.560
I didn't put a staffing belt on me anymore, anyway.

636
00:42:21.560 --> 00:42:26.040
So all this to say that, whānau, know who you are.

637
00:42:26.040 --> 00:42:27.760
Know who you are.

638
00:42:27.760 --> 00:42:30.600
And love God and love yourself, man.

639
00:42:30.600 --> 00:42:33.080
Love yourself, accept yourself.

640
00:42:33.080 --> 00:42:35.200
Don't be carrying robes of shame

641
00:42:35.200 --> 00:42:37.080
or guilt of who you used to be.

642
00:42:37.080 --> 00:42:40.560
I remember who I used to be, but that's not who I am.

643
00:42:40.560 --> 00:42:43.040
When God looks at me, He sees who I am today,

644
00:42:43.040 --> 00:42:44.360
not who I was yesterday.

645
00:42:44.360 --> 00:42:46.360
But the devil, he lives in the past.

646
00:42:46.360 --> 00:42:48.480
So all he does is call you back.

647
00:42:48.480 --> 00:42:50.520
Oh, I remember this, oh, I remember that,

648
00:42:50.520 --> 00:42:52.360
oh, you did this, oh, you were that,

649
00:42:52.360 --> 00:42:54.560
oh, people remember, whatever.

650
00:42:54.560 --> 00:42:57.360
God says, I'm a new creation in Christ Jesus.

651
00:42:57.360 --> 00:42:59.240
All things are past, all things are made new.

652
00:42:59.240 --> 00:43:00.240
So all that to say,

653
00:43:03.480 --> 00:43:07.080
the character of Christ and the power of Christ,

654
00:43:07.080 --> 00:43:09.040
the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit

655
00:43:09.040 --> 00:43:10.760
and the nine fruit of the Holy Spirit.

656
00:43:10.760 --> 00:43:13.480
We're called to represent Jesus,

657
00:43:13.480 --> 00:43:16.120
to be conformed to His image, to become like Him.

658
00:43:16.120 --> 00:43:17.960
It's who we be, who we become.

659
00:43:18.240 --> 00:43:20.280
That is more important than what we do, you know?

660
00:43:20.280 --> 00:43:22.760
My kids, I love them, my mokopuna, I love them.

661
00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:24.800
And they can achieve a lot in this world,

662
00:43:24.800 --> 00:43:27.360
but it's who they are that I love.

663
00:43:27.360 --> 00:43:32.360
I would hate to raise kids that are just real jerks.

664
00:43:32.360 --> 00:43:34.000
They might accomplish and achieve lots,

665
00:43:34.000 --> 00:43:36.480
but if they're total jerks and they're mean

666
00:43:36.480 --> 00:43:41.480
and they're harsh and they just do bad things to people,

667
00:43:41.720 --> 00:43:43.800
they might be movie stars

668
00:43:43.800 --> 00:43:45.560
or they might have millions of dollars.

669
00:43:45.560 --> 00:43:47.040
They might have achieved things

670
00:43:47.040 --> 00:43:48.280
that others have never achieved,

671
00:43:48.280 --> 00:43:50.960
but they had terrible character,

672
00:43:50.960 --> 00:43:53.640
then they'd be shameful.

673
00:43:53.640 --> 00:43:58.640
It'd be, I love them, but it's more who they are.

674
00:43:58.840 --> 00:44:00.760
And I thank God, I've got great kids.

675
00:44:00.760 --> 00:44:03.000
Me and Jess, we've got great kids, great mokopuna.

676
00:44:03.000 --> 00:44:05.000
And we're so proud of who they are.

677
00:44:05.000 --> 00:44:06.760
Not just what they do, but who they are.

678
00:44:06.760 --> 00:44:07.640
And God's like that.

679
00:44:07.640 --> 00:44:08.480
The Father's like that.

680
00:44:08.480 --> 00:44:09.840
He's proud of who you are.

681
00:44:09.840 --> 00:44:11.600
He loves you for who you are.

682
00:44:11.600 --> 00:44:14.040
Not just what you do, but who you are to Him.

683
00:44:14.080 --> 00:44:18.640
You're His son every day, 24 hours, 24 seven.

684
00:44:18.640 --> 00:44:20.120
I mean, when you're sleeping at night,

685
00:44:20.120 --> 00:44:21.560
He's hovering over you just going,

686
00:44:21.560 --> 00:44:24.640
ah, can't wait for you to wake up.

687
00:44:24.640 --> 00:44:26.880
My son, my daughter can't wait for you to wake up.

688
00:44:26.880 --> 00:44:27.960
I know that.

689
00:44:27.960 --> 00:44:29.840
Just like I used to hover over my kids

690
00:44:29.840 --> 00:44:31.760
and over mokopuna when they're asleep,

691
00:44:31.760 --> 00:44:32.880
just, oh, hurry up and wake up.

692
00:44:32.880 --> 00:44:34.040
I just want to hug you.

693
00:44:34.040 --> 00:44:34.880
Just want to kiss you.

694
00:44:34.880 --> 00:44:36.280
Just want to hold you.

695
00:44:36.280 --> 00:44:38.040
You know, that's what God is like.

696
00:44:38.040 --> 00:44:40.000
The Father's like, He just loves you.

697
00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:41.640
Just wants to hug you, hold you.

698
00:44:41.640 --> 00:44:43.640
You know, He just loves you.

699
00:44:43.680 --> 00:44:45.400
And I've got that sense of significance.

700
00:44:45.400 --> 00:44:47.960
It comes out of relationship, significance.

701
00:44:47.960 --> 00:44:49.920
And out of, from significance comes,

702
00:44:49.920 --> 00:44:52.600
then my ministry flows out of that relationship,

703
00:44:52.600 --> 00:44:55.240
significance, and therefore I'm able to achieve more

704
00:44:55.240 --> 00:44:57.000
because I'm not trying to do things

705
00:44:57.000 --> 00:44:59.560
to try and get His love to become significant.

706
00:44:59.560 --> 00:45:00.400
I already am.

707
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:03.480
And so I am relaxed in what I do and how I serve God.

708
00:45:03.480 --> 00:45:06.440
I don't have to try and make him happy, he's happy.

709
00:45:06.440 --> 00:45:08.920
I don't have to try and make people happy.

710
00:45:08.920 --> 00:45:12.000
So as I make God happy, people are generally happy.

711
00:45:12.000 --> 00:45:14.000
When a man's ways please the Lord,

712
00:45:14.000 --> 00:45:15.840
even his enemies are at peace with him.

713
00:45:15.840 --> 00:45:17.960
So that's what I recorded all this morning.

714
00:45:17.960 --> 00:45:20.160
I don't even know what you would call that.

715
00:45:22.320 --> 00:45:24.920
But I guess it's relational, letting you know

716
00:45:24.920 --> 00:45:27.160
a bit more about myself, where I come from.

717
00:45:28.160 --> 00:45:31.920
It's funny that I couldn't speak at my best friend's wedding,

718
00:45:31.920 --> 00:45:35.440
where there'd be probably, you know, maybe 40, 60 people.

719
00:45:35.440 --> 00:45:40.440
And now I speak to thousands without any form of shyness

720
00:45:40.440 --> 00:45:41.480
or lack of confidence.

721
00:45:41.480 --> 00:45:43.440
It's because I know who I am.

722
00:45:43.440 --> 00:45:44.680
I know who I am.

723
00:45:44.680 --> 00:45:46.040
I belong to him.

724
00:45:46.040 --> 00:45:48.240
And I'm bold, and I'm bold in my God.

725
00:45:48.240 --> 00:45:50.800
I'm not bold in myself, but I'm bold in my God.

726
00:45:50.800 --> 00:45:53.560
I'm bold and I boast of what he can do for people.

727
00:45:53.560 --> 00:45:55.000
And I boast of what he can do for you.

728
00:45:55.000 --> 00:45:56.200
And I boast of what he's done for me

729
00:45:56.760 --> 00:45:58.240
and what he's done for Jess.

730
00:45:58.240 --> 00:46:00.800
But at the same time, I believe in myself as well.

731
00:46:00.800 --> 00:46:02.920
And I back myself because he backs me.

732
00:46:02.920 --> 00:46:04.880
And you need to, some of you need to back yourself

733
00:46:04.880 --> 00:46:06.320
because he backs you.

734
00:46:06.320 --> 00:46:08.160
At the same time, walk in wisdom.

735
00:46:08.160 --> 00:46:10.000
So I had a father, I had a good,

736
00:46:10.000 --> 00:46:12.400
one of the best spiritual fathers you could have.

737
00:46:12.400 --> 00:46:15.200
And you need somebody to tell you

738
00:46:15.200 --> 00:46:16.560
when you're being an idiot.

739
00:46:16.560 --> 00:46:19.760
You need somebody to tell you when you're being an idiot.

740
00:46:21.000 --> 00:46:22.320
You need it.

741
00:46:22.320 --> 00:46:24.040
Okay, as long as you've got this love,

742
00:46:24.080 --> 00:46:25.440
and you know that he loved,

743
00:46:25.440 --> 00:46:26.680
I knew that he loved me,

744
00:46:26.680 --> 00:46:28.800
and therefore he could speak into my life.

745
00:46:28.800 --> 00:46:30.920
I didn't take it personal

746
00:46:30.920 --> 00:46:32.240
because the Lordship of Jesus

747
00:46:32.240 --> 00:46:34.640
doesn't allow you to take stuff personal.

748
00:46:34.640 --> 00:46:37.640
If you take it personal, then you're not dead yet.

749
00:46:37.640 --> 00:46:40.400
You can't follow Jesus unless you had your funeral.

750
00:46:40.400 --> 00:46:41.560
Figured a funeral.

751
00:46:41.560 --> 00:46:43.880
So there you go, Father.

752
00:46:43.880 --> 00:46:45.480
Let me just look at some of these things

753
00:46:45.480 --> 00:46:48.200
that I wrote out that I'm not gonna do right now.

754
00:46:48.200 --> 00:46:51.120
I think we've just come to the end right now.

755
00:46:51.120 --> 00:46:52.560
World changes.

756
00:46:54.600 --> 00:46:58.200
River, the different stages of fire.

757
00:46:58.200 --> 00:47:01.160
So I'll talk about the fire of God down the track,

758
00:47:01.160 --> 00:47:04.040
and the three different stages of fire.

759
00:47:04.040 --> 00:47:05.880
You know, there's first degree burns,

760
00:47:05.880 --> 00:47:08.680
secondary burns, and third degree burns.

761
00:47:08.680 --> 00:47:09.640
And then the natural.

762
00:47:09.640 --> 00:47:12.360
So in the spiritual, the Holy Spirit,

763
00:47:12.360 --> 00:47:14.640
he likes to burn us.

764
00:47:14.640 --> 00:47:16.000
He likes to inflame us.

765
00:47:16.000 --> 00:47:17.320
He likes to infuse us.

766
00:47:17.320 --> 00:47:21.760
He likes to empower us and be a flaming fire for him,

767
00:47:22.440 --> 00:47:25.320
or as ministers, flames of fire.

768
00:47:27.080 --> 00:47:28.280
How to take a city.

769
00:47:30.360 --> 00:47:32.560
Identity, I just talked on that.

770
00:47:32.560 --> 00:47:34.040
Identity and destiny.

771
00:47:35.360 --> 00:47:38.040
Pioneer of the future, Joshua generation.

772
00:47:38.040 --> 00:47:40.040
Understand church government, that's what we're on.

773
00:47:40.040 --> 00:47:41.400
Understand the kingdom of God.

774
00:47:41.400 --> 00:47:43.040
We'll talk a bit more about that

775
00:47:43.040 --> 00:47:44.720
after we've done church government.

776
00:47:44.720 --> 00:47:46.120
Understand your part in it.

777
00:47:47.320 --> 00:47:49.800
The marks of a five-folder history maker.

778
00:47:50.800 --> 00:47:52.520
You get what you receive.

779
00:47:54.160 --> 00:47:56.000
How to get your ministry to follow you.

780
00:47:56.000 --> 00:47:58.120
How to get your gift to seek you.

781
00:47:59.560 --> 00:48:01.680
Is your eye evil because I am good?

782
00:48:01.680 --> 00:48:03.960
Oh, there's some awesome stuff here.

783
00:48:05.120 --> 00:48:06.720
The tithe is not under the law.

784
00:48:06.720 --> 00:48:09.080
Oh, I just probably lost a few right there.

785
00:48:09.080 --> 00:48:10.880
The tithe is not under the law.

786
00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:19.000
Yeah, one that is a hit for most believers

787
00:48:20.480 --> 00:48:24.640
because I hear so often Christians say,

788
00:48:24.640 --> 00:48:26.480
I just want to know what my gift is.

789
00:48:26.480 --> 00:48:27.960
I want to know what my ministry is.

790
00:48:27.960 --> 00:48:29.320
I want to know what my calling is.

791
00:48:29.320 --> 00:48:30.720
I want to know what my assignment is.

792
00:48:30.720 --> 00:48:33.040
And oh, my, my, my, to me, to me, to me.

793
00:48:34.600 --> 00:48:38.160
And some Christians end up chasing their ministry

794
00:48:38.160 --> 00:48:40.120
instead of Jesus.

795
00:48:40.120 --> 00:48:43.680
And you know what?

796
00:48:43.680 --> 00:48:45.320
My ministry chased me.

797
00:48:46.240 --> 00:48:49.440
I didn't go hunting for it, it came hunting for me.

798
00:48:50.080 --> 00:48:52.200
And I want to teach you, if you don't know,

799
00:48:52.200 --> 00:48:54.680
how to get your ministry to come hunting for you.

800
00:48:54.680 --> 00:48:56.760
How to get your gift to come hunting for you.

801
00:48:56.760 --> 00:48:59.440
How to get your ministry to come hunting for you.

802
00:48:59.440 --> 00:49:02.280
Because when you walk in the way you're meant to walk,

803
00:49:02.280 --> 00:49:04.200
it will seek you out.

804
00:49:04.200 --> 00:49:06.440
You won't need to look for it.

805
00:49:06.440 --> 00:49:07.520
It will seek you out,

806
00:49:07.520 --> 00:49:10.240
and others will acknowledge it on your life.

807
00:49:10.240 --> 00:49:13.960
But when you seek to find it and seek it out,

808
00:49:13.960 --> 00:49:16.120
it becomes an obsession with so many people.

809
00:49:16.120 --> 00:49:18.720
And that is because they are still insecure.

810
00:49:18.720 --> 00:49:21.760
That is because they still haven't developed this,

811
00:49:21.760 --> 00:49:23.600
they don't know their sense of identity,

812
00:49:23.600 --> 00:49:26.360
their sense of significance isn't developed yet.

813
00:49:26.360 --> 00:49:29.000
And so they think if they can find their ministry,

814
00:49:29.000 --> 00:49:32.040
their calling, and feel like they're achieving something,

815
00:49:32.040 --> 00:49:33.680
they're accomplishing something,

816
00:49:33.680 --> 00:49:34.880
they think, wow, maybe I'm there.

817
00:49:34.880 --> 00:49:36.120
But you won't be there.

818
00:49:36.120 --> 00:49:38.960
Because the sense of achievement

819
00:49:38.960 --> 00:49:41.360
is not a sense of significance.

820
00:49:41.360 --> 00:49:43.440
Significance is about who you are,

821
00:49:43.440 --> 00:49:45.320
state of being, identity.

822
00:49:45.320 --> 00:49:48.640
Achievement is about what you do, the state of doing.

823
00:49:49.560 --> 00:49:50.400
Okay?

824
00:49:50.400 --> 00:49:53.440
So I point people first to Jesus,

825
00:49:53.440 --> 00:49:54.920
get to know him, get to know yourself,

826
00:49:54.920 --> 00:49:57.000
get to know him, and then to your destiny,

827
00:49:57.000 --> 00:49:58.720
not the other way around.

828
00:49:58.720 --> 00:50:00.920
It doesn't mean we just sit there and twist.

829
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:05.680
our thumbs and do some navel gazing do nothing there's plenty to do there's plenty to do before

830
00:50:05.680 --> 00:50:10.560
you operate and develop or know what your ministry you're calling us there's heaps to do anyway

831
00:50:10.560 --> 00:50:15.840

843
00:51:22.960 --> 00:51:29.040
need healing and some of you uh you feel you're gradually getting better you're under recovery

844
00:51:29.040 --> 00:51:35.680
okay a miracle is where it's instantaneous i just receive a testimony from a brother called manasa

845
00:51:35.680 --> 00:51:43.360
he's a pastor over in fiji and he he he played that video clip of the woman who came in rip out

846
00:51:43.360 --> 00:51:48.560
her stomach his is the first testimony i've got back of when he watched it and touched the screen

847
00:51:48.560 --> 00:51:54.160
he said his back has been in pain for six months and he said the moment he touched the screen boom

848
00:51:54.160 --> 00:51:59.040
the the back's completely healed he just he just uh missed me again this morning to thank me

849
00:51:59.920 --> 00:52:04.640
yeah and of course we know it's jesus but it's being a steward of this of the gifts that he

850
00:52:04.640 --> 00:52:10.400
gives you and i like to use that gift right here right now so so a miracle is when you get healed

851
00:52:10.400 --> 00:52:16.480
instantaneously and a healing is where it takes a recovery time a miracle is you often a creative

852
00:52:16.480 --> 00:52:22.000
miracle as well where there's been a bone replaced or a body part replaced but not all the time not

853
00:52:22.000 --> 00:52:27.200
necessarily it could be we have had a disease and affliction in your body for for years or decades

854
00:52:27.200 --> 00:52:33.760
and it's gone instantaneously like that it's a miracle whereas a healing uh is a recovery okay

855
00:52:33.760 --> 00:52:39.520
and it's mark 16 17 jesus said will lay hand that that these signs will follow them who believe

856
00:52:39.520 --> 00:52:44.720
in my name you'll cast out cast out devils speak in tongues lay hands but you'll lay hands on the

857
00:52:44.720 --> 00:52:48.560
sick and they'll recover and when you take a panadol for instance not that i do that very

858
00:52:48.560 --> 00:52:52.400
often but if you take a panadol your headache doesn't go straight away but you know it will

859
00:52:52.400 --> 00:52:56.800
because there's a chemicals going in that then in your you're going to recover it doesn't go

860
00:52:56.800 --> 00:53:03.680
instantly it's over a time period and recovery healing is over a time period sometimes uh jesus

861
00:53:03.680 --> 00:53:07.680
prayed for a guy didn't get healed straight away he had prayed twice it was a guy with the eyes

862
00:53:07.920 --> 00:53:12.320
another time it says they were healed within the hour and so a recovery healing can be within the

863
00:53:12.320 --> 00:53:17.200
hour can be within minutes and within the hour can be within the day can be within a week can

864
00:53:17.200 --> 00:53:22.640
be within weeks but the recovery power goes into you so when i pray when i release the the power

865
00:53:22.640 --> 00:53:28.000
of god his power and you touch the screen lean forward and touch the screen his recovery power

866
00:53:28.000 --> 00:53:32.000
has gone in you his miracle power has gone and it's up to the holy spirit where he's going to

867
00:53:32.000 --> 00:53:37.360
do a miracle or recovery it's not up to me he moves as he wills not as i will that's how they

868
00:53:37.360 --> 00:53:43.600
move that's how the gifts operate so when i pray for you you lean forward touch the screen you're

869
00:53:43.600 --> 00:53:49.680
going to get a recovery or a heal or a miracle um and there's some of you as you were in recovery

870
00:53:49.680 --> 00:53:54.720
now every day it's getting better and better and better okay just give god thanks when the power

871
00:53:54.720 --> 00:53:59.200
went in it didn't take it out it's just operating just thank him every day lord i'm getting better

872
00:53:59.200 --> 00:54:03.520
and better okay on the count of three i want you to lean forward into the healing presence of jesus

873
00:54:03.520 --> 00:54:13.040
can i give you a testimony first yeah hallelujah hallelujah so i'm um doing a a meeting in church

874
00:54:13.040 --> 00:54:18.240
and there's a lady sitting in the second third row and i don't know her she doesn't know me

875
00:54:18.240 --> 00:54:22.960
she only knows about me and i didn't know but she had cancer in a womb and she was going to

876
00:54:22.960 --> 00:54:27.120
get it cut out uh that was a sunday morning she was going to get it cut out on monday

877
00:54:27.120 --> 00:54:30.560
she'd all gone through the test and diagnosis and all that and they said that's what it is

878
00:54:30.640 --> 00:54:34.800
it's a bike or blah blah blah and so she didn't have any children and her womb was going to be

879
00:54:34.800 --> 00:54:39.520
cut out but she came along to the to the healing to the church service because all our services are

880
00:54:39.520 --> 00:54:44.400
healing meetings because you get we don't make healing the agenda we don't make healing the

881
00:54:44.400 --> 00:54:49.520
event when jesus is in the house healings in the house he's the healer so uh it's just a church

882
00:54:49.520 --> 00:54:54.960
service so i actually yeah you know she's sitting there and um and she never even came forward for

883
00:54:54.960 --> 00:54:59.920
prayer and a lot of people healed that day and this is the testimony this is what she told me

884
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:05.760
Her name's Ana. So she said as she was sitting there when I was praying she felt like a force

885
00:55:05.760 --> 00:55:10.320
go into her puku, into her stomach, into her womb, and she didn't know what it was.

886
00:55:10.320 --> 00:55:14.320
So the next day, the Monday, she went to the hospital up here, Tairawhiti, Gizzi,

887
00:55:14.320 --> 00:55:19.120
and was ready to be operated on, to have her womb cut out. For some reason, don't ask me why,

888
00:55:19.120 --> 00:55:24.640
for some reason they did some more tests and they says, we're not going to do the operation for us.

889
00:55:24.640 --> 00:55:30.320
It says we, I don't know whether they found out that day or a few days later, but whatever it was,

890
00:55:30.320 --> 00:55:35.280
they said we can't find any trace of the cancer in your womb anymore. And so she, and I didn't

891
00:55:35.280 --> 00:55:41.600
know this, she didn't even tell me this until months later. So about a few months later though,

892
00:55:41.600 --> 00:55:45.280
the swelling came back into her stomach. And so she thought, oh, it's come back,

893
00:55:45.280 --> 00:55:50.720
the cancer's come back. So she goes up to the hospital and has a, you know, a checkup.

894
00:55:50.720 --> 00:55:57.520
And the doctor said, it's not cancer, you're pregnant. The swelling is you're pregnant.

895
00:55:58.160 --> 00:56:03.920
So the very womb that was going to be ripped out, and so all the children, she didn't have children,

896
00:56:03.920 --> 00:56:08.560
well, that God restored that womb. It's in a sense He gave back the dead come back.

897
00:56:08.560 --> 00:56:13.440
And not only did she have that child, I think she got three children now, three children. That's

898
00:56:13.440 --> 00:56:18.800
just sitting in a meeting where I'm speaking and I didn't even touch her. I don't have to be there

899
00:56:18.800 --> 00:56:24.880
to touch you. Holy Spirit is everywhere. He's omnipresent. He's at all places. But in order

900
00:56:24.880 --> 00:56:30.480
for the omnipresence to become manifest presence, you need an act of faith. You can have a torch,

901
00:56:30.480 --> 00:56:37.120
and the batteries carry the electricity to light the bulb, to light the filament. But unless

902
00:56:38.160 --> 00:56:44.320
the battery connects to the bulb, unless there's a point of contact, you can carry the power,

903
00:56:44.320 --> 00:56:50.880
but it's not going to bring any light into the dark. And so I'm carrying this power of God in me,

904
00:56:50.880 --> 00:56:54.320
but it's not going to do you any good until there's a connection with that power,

905
00:56:54.880 --> 00:57:01.600
for the power of light to drive out the power of darkness. And so that connection is a point

906
00:57:01.600 --> 00:57:08.240
of contact. The point of contact is faith as an action. The point of contact is when I pray for

907
00:57:08.240 --> 00:57:12.320
you. The point of contact is when you lean forward and touch the screen and I'm praying for you.

908
00:57:12.320 --> 00:57:16.400
That's your point of contact. When you make that point of contact, that's how faith works.

909
00:57:16.400 --> 00:57:21.360
You make a point of contact. Stop looking for faith. You already got it. It's learning how to

910
00:57:21.360 --> 00:57:26.560
use the faith God gave you. Romans 12.3. He said he's given you a measure of faith. It's not about

911
00:57:26.560 --> 00:57:31.040
needing more faith. It's about using what he's already given you. But faith is an action. You

912
00:57:31.040 --> 00:57:36.080
need a point of contact to activate your faith. So when I pray and I'm going to tell you to lean

913
00:57:36.080 --> 00:57:38.960
forward, touch the screen, that's your point of contact. That's when the power of God's going to

914
00:57:38.960 --> 00:57:44.480
come upon you. Okay, you ready? I want you to lean into the supernatural presence of Jesus,

915
00:57:44.480 --> 00:57:58.320
the healing presence of Jesus. Be still and know that I am God. Be still and know that I am God.

916
00:57:59.840 --> 00:58:05.280
Be still and know that I am God. Some of you might need healing for your ears after hearing my

917
00:58:05.280 --> 00:58:16.320
singing. No, just joking. You are the God that healeth me. You are the Lord my healer. You took

918
00:58:16.320 --> 00:58:26.880
their sin and healed their disease. You are the Lord their healer. You are the God that healeth me.

919
00:58:27.840 --> 00:58:39.040
You are the Lord my healer. You took our sin and healed our disease. You are the Lord our healer.

920
00:58:40.800 --> 00:58:55.920
In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust. In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust. In thee, O Lord,

921
00:58:56.960 --> 00:59:05.520
do I put my trust. Jesus, Lord, as your son, as your daughter leans into your presence,

922
00:59:06.480 --> 00:59:12.960
as they, Lord, use the faith you've given them, and Lord, as they make this point of contact,

923
00:59:13.520 --> 00:59:19.680
but by stretching, leaning forward on the count of three and touching the screen. Lord,

924
00:59:19.680 --> 00:59:25.360
as they do that, as they make that point of contact, I thank you that, Lord, it's like the

925
00:59:26.000 --> 00:59:32.160
switch on the torch. When it's turned and it connects, there's that point of contact. There's

926
00:59:32.160 --> 00:59:36.880
your power can flow. I thank you for your miraculous and supernatural presence, Jesus.

927
00:59:36.880 --> 00:59:42.560
You who have healed thousands through me over the years, I give you praise. Lord,

928
00:59:42.560 --> 00:59:47.520
there are tens of thousands yet to heal. So right now, that son, that daughter that's watching,

929
00:59:47.520 --> 00:59:54.480
that's in pain, right now, that son, that daughter that's got those ulcerated mouth, Lord,

930
00:59:54.480 --> 00:59:59.840
now that son, that daughter who's got that issue with the internal organs and that...

931
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:05.760
Blood coming out, Lord, that wound that doesn't seem to heal up, Lord, I give you praise.

932
01:00:05.760 --> 01:00:10.360
Lord, that son, that daughter that's got the spirit of affliction, the spirit of sickness

933
01:00:10.360 --> 01:00:15.680
on their bowel bodies, right now I thank you, Lord, as they lean forward into your presence.

934
01:00:15.680 --> 01:00:17.960
The point of contact is to you, Lord.

935
01:00:17.960 --> 01:00:20.840
Although they're touching the screen, it's not me.

936
01:00:20.840 --> 01:00:26.240
It's not the screen that can heal any more than the robe, your robe could heal.

937
01:00:26.240 --> 01:00:28.360
But it was you that wore the robe.

938
01:00:28.360 --> 01:00:31.440
As many as touched your hem of your garment were made whole.

939
01:00:31.440 --> 01:00:34.340
You're the same yesterday, today, and forever, Jesus.

940
01:00:34.340 --> 01:00:36.080
You are here right now.

941
01:00:36.080 --> 01:00:40.520
And people about to touch you, Lord, they're about to touch you, Lord, as they lean forward,

942
01:00:40.520 --> 01:00:43.640
honor their faith, Lord, I know you will.

943
01:00:43.640 --> 01:00:44.640
Thank you, Lord.

944
01:00:44.640 --> 01:00:46.200
I thank you for the miracles that are about to break out.

945
01:00:46.200 --> 01:00:48.200
I thank you for the extraordinary miracles.

946
01:00:48.200 --> 01:00:52.600
Okay, those watching and needing healing, the touch of God right now, I want you to

947
01:00:52.600 --> 01:00:57.440
lean forward on the count of three into the presence of the healing presence, the miraculous

948
01:00:57.440 --> 01:00:58.920
presence of Jesus.

949
01:00:58.920 --> 01:01:04.440
And as you lean forward, I want you to touch your screen, to reach out and touch my hand

950
01:01:04.440 --> 01:01:05.440
on the screen.

951
01:01:05.440 --> 01:01:06.440
You ready?

952
01:01:06.440 --> 01:01:16.720
On the count of three, one, two, three, lean forward, come on, touch my hand, touch my

953
01:01:16.720 --> 01:01:17.720
hand right now.

954
01:01:17.720 --> 01:01:18.720
Touch the screen.

955
01:01:18.720 --> 01:01:19.720
Thank you, Jesus.

956
01:01:19.720 --> 01:01:25.560
And Father, right now, I thank you for the power, your virtue flowing through this hand,

957
01:01:25.560 --> 01:01:30.200
flowing through, Lord, my hand into this, into their hand, flowing through my hand into

958
01:01:30.200 --> 01:01:31.960
my friend's hand right now.

959
01:01:31.960 --> 01:01:36.080
I thank you, Lord, that you're flowing through my friend's hand right now.

960
01:01:36.080 --> 01:01:41.920
You're flowing through your power, your electricity, your dynamic, your dynamas, and even your

961
01:01:41.920 --> 01:01:46.280
exousia is flowing through my hand into my friend's hand right now.

962
01:01:46.280 --> 01:01:48.080
I thank you for touching my friend.

963
01:01:48.080 --> 01:01:51.040
I thank you for touching your son, your daughter.

964
01:01:51.040 --> 01:01:52.200
Thank you, Jesus.

965
01:01:52.200 --> 01:01:54.480
You are the same yesterday, today, forever.

966
01:01:54.480 --> 01:01:59.920
Lord, when you laid hands upon Batamayus, Lord, when the woman touched the hem of your

967
01:01:59.920 --> 01:02:03.840
garment, oh, Jesus, that power flowed.

968
01:02:03.840 --> 01:02:08.400
You said, who touched me, I felt power leave me, and she felt power go into her.

969
01:02:08.400 --> 01:02:13.280
Some of you are feeling power go into your body right now, drying up that wicked disease.

970
01:02:13.280 --> 01:02:15.560
I rebuke that wicked disease.

971
01:02:15.560 --> 01:02:18.440
I rebuke that wicked spirit of infirmity.

972
01:02:18.440 --> 01:02:21.160
I rebuke that wicked spirit of death.

973
01:02:21.160 --> 01:02:26.920
I rebuke that wicked spirit of suicide in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

974
01:02:26.920 --> 01:02:33.000
I rebuke those troubling thoughts, those lies, that slanderous voice that's spoken to you

975
01:02:33.000 --> 01:02:34.480
and called you all sorts of names.

976
01:02:34.480 --> 01:02:38.960
I rebuke that voice, and I command you to get out of those ears in the name of Jesus

977
01:02:38.960 --> 01:02:39.960
Christ.

978
01:02:39.960 --> 01:02:40.960
I thank you, Lord.

979
01:02:40.960 --> 01:02:44.680
You open those ears to hear the voice of the Good Shepherd.

980
01:02:44.680 --> 01:02:45.680
Thank you, Jesus.

981
01:02:45.680 --> 01:02:46.680
Thank you, Jesus.

982
01:02:46.680 --> 01:02:49.640
That power just flowing, Lord, through this screen.

983
01:02:49.880 --> 01:02:57.280
Lord, as handkerchiefs and aprons are brought to Paul, and extraordinary miracles by Paul's

984
01:02:57.280 --> 01:03:03.520
hands, that there was a transference of the divine substance of you, Lord Jesus, through

985
01:03:03.520 --> 01:03:08.240
Paul's flesh, into the handkerchiefs, into the fabric of the material, that whoever it

986
01:03:08.240 --> 01:03:14.520
touched, Lord, the demons came out, the sicknesses left them, that Father, through the touch

987
01:03:14.520 --> 01:03:20.640
of the screen, Lord, that you're doing extraordinary miracles, Lord, and the transference of divine

988
01:03:20.640 --> 01:03:26.640
power through this electronic medium, by this, Lord, electronic medium, thank you, the Holy

989
01:03:26.640 --> 01:03:29.080
Spirit, you get into all things.

990
01:03:29.080 --> 01:03:34.720
You got into the bones of Elisha, and even in the bones of Elisha, your power was still

991
01:03:34.720 --> 01:03:35.720
there.

992
01:03:35.720 --> 01:03:36.720
I thank you, Lord, Holy Spirit.

993
01:03:36.720 --> 01:03:42.320
Oh, there's so much healing going on, so whanau, here's what you're going to do.

994
01:03:42.320 --> 01:03:46.800
Those of you who know you're healed, it's not by faith, you know you're healed.

995
01:03:46.800 --> 01:03:49.380
You can do something now you couldn't do before.

996
01:03:49.380 --> 01:03:55.520
You can move a body part, you know it's free, that thing's gone, that lump's disappeared,

997
01:03:55.520 --> 01:04:01.080
that eye can see clearer, that ear can hear, that pain, you know you're healed.

998
01:04:01.080 --> 01:04:04.920
Not going to be healed, not by faith, believe you're healed, you know you're physically

999
01:04:04.920 --> 01:04:05.920
healed.

1000
01:04:05.920 --> 01:04:09.320
Something's happened in your body, you do something you couldn't do right now, that

1001
01:04:09.320 --> 01:04:12.640
healing heat burning through your body, and what you're going to do right now, you're

1002
01:04:12.640 --> 01:04:16.760
going to message me, and you're going to tell me three things.

1003
01:04:16.760 --> 01:04:21.400
What you had, how long you had it, and how you know you're healed.

1004
01:04:21.400 --> 01:04:22.840
Listen to me again.

1005
01:04:22.840 --> 01:04:26.860
What you had, how long did you have it, and how do you know you're healed?

1006
01:04:26.860 --> 01:04:28.460
Just answer me those three questions.

1007
01:04:28.460 --> 01:04:32.000
What did you have, how long did you have it, and how do you know you're healed?

1008
01:04:32.000 --> 01:04:34.360
I give you glory, Jesus.

1009
01:04:34.360 --> 01:04:37.680
To testify is to glorify, and we glorify your name.

1010
01:04:37.720 --> 01:04:42.520
Lord, I thank you in advance for those miracles and testimonies, for those miracles and healing

1011
01:04:42.520 --> 01:04:46.120
that's taking place right now, Lord, all across the Motu.

1012
01:04:46.120 --> 01:04:51.520
Even Lord, over there to Illinois, even Lord to Bryan, Texas, to Houston, Texas.

1013
01:04:51.520 --> 01:04:55.840
Thank you Lord, all the way to Fiji, Lord, all the way to Adelaide, Lord God, all the

1014
01:04:55.840 --> 01:05:00.000
way through to Melbourne, Father, up there to the Tory Islands, to the Tory Straits.

1015
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:08.160
Lord, to Thursday Island Father, Lord be praised, to Bamaga, thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus,

1016
01:05:08.160 --> 01:05:13.040
there's no limitation to you. They can lock down humans but they can't lock down your presence

1017
01:05:13.040 --> 01:05:19.520
Jesus. Let me give you glory and all the saints said Amen. God bless you whanau, see you on

1018
01:05:19.520 --> 01:05:22.720
Tuesday. Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday. God bless you.
