Let's begin. I wanted to actually start because I heard an amazing story Right as I came in my good friend and brother

00:07

John Barros is here. Welcome John Barros. If you don't know who he is He is a hero of the faith

00:15

He was one of RC Sproul's heroes and he's one of mine So John told me a story as I first came in John has lots of stories

00:23

And so I wanted to start this whole thing off with an amazing story a divine story

00:29

That's I think will bless you guys and sort of get you ready for Tuesday. So welcome to the stage John Barros John Come on up.

00:42

So as John gets up here Let everyone know If you haven't seen his story yet go watch babies are murdered here

00:50

Part one and babies are still murdered here and you'll see some of John and his work.

00:55

So I learned about John years ago When the Lord was first calling us into this ministry and mission for us first as many as it is for many people

01:04

We were going to the abortion mill for the first time to preach the gospel to offer help to save lives

01:11

That was the main thing for us in the very beginning was just going to save the children from death many of you guys know as a result of all that ministry and all the churches that have been raised up and With the message that all of us share

01:23

God has saved thousands and thousands of children from death But We don't always get to recognize the little steps and the means that God used to create something beautiful and amazing

01:36

And for our church Apologia Church Marcus's film babies are murdered here Featured John Barros and it was his story out at the abortion mill

01:45

That really motivated our church a very young church a very small church that had come to life out of a drug rehab

01:53

Motivated our people to get out there and start preaching the gospel and saving lives So John was one of those people that God used to actually start what you see within abortion now in Apologia Church So thank you

02:03

John for your ministry and everything you've done. Thank you, brother so John has lots of stories and he again just shared this one with me.

02:14

I've got a chance to witness some Sincere bona fide miracles over the last couple of months and this is another one

02:22

So I wanted I wanted John to share it for everybody John some of the folks from here that came to my thing already heard it, but It was beautiful and the reason

02:33

I was trying to expound upon this story was because People always tend to say

02:38

John, you know, you're amazing you do this stuff and all this and I always say I can do nothing

02:44

It's only Jesus. He's the only one that can I don't have any power to turn a heart

02:49

I don't have any power to open eyes. I don't have any power to do anything. So I wanted to show this about how wonderful my power was

03:02

And just to be an explanation and and people have really liked the story so About a month ago.

03:10

I was out in front of the abortion clinic. I serve at and a Car came pulling up behind me and many of you have that experience every day.

03:20

I'm sure and Somebody starts hollering out the window. Well, I don't stop.

03:25

I have a team of people that kind of quell all that stuff so I can keep going on and it's not a big distraction and so I just kept preaching and then

03:37

Yoli a lady that comes down and helps me she speaks Spanish and this guy was speaking

03:42

Spanish and He's hollering and and she says John you better come over here and I said

03:48

I I'm kind of busy here. She goes. No, but you really do need to come over here

03:54

So I go over and here's this guy crying. He's got tears pouring down his face he was actually a driver for a medical delivery service where he was driving a patient to his medical appointment and So he's

04:09

The guy in the back understand Spanish and he hears what's going on his eyes get like saucers and and He just gets out and walks the rest of the way to his appointment

04:20

So here's this guy sitting in the car. He starts telling Yoli his story. She's translating

04:27

He says that he was in that abortion clinic him and his wife 14 months earlier and that he had

04:35

They had been in there and during the preaching that God had just literally crushed them and had

04:41

Had driven them literally out of the place and that they had Been what we call and you call turnaways,

04:50

I mean they don't stop and talk to you you don't have any idea where who they are where they go, whatever they're just turnaways and And it's not like they come and told you they're gonna choose life

05:03

It's nothing like that. You don't get involved in your life. It's nothing they just disappear well He shows up and he's crying and he's thanking me for preaching and then he gets his wife on the phone

05:16

And does FaceTime like you guys know how to do I don't but buddy

05:21

And here's his wife on the phone crying and she's holding this baby and she's saying thank you.

05:28

Thank you thank you and all of this stuff and and then I said, well, thank you.

05:34

I said I got to go back over here and I said you only invite him to our church and And we'll go to lunch after they come to church or whatever

05:46

And so she did that and then as I'm walking back to the thing to start preaching again

05:54

Something like hit me is like John you're missing the whole thing and I go Yoli stop that guy and she goes why

06:02

I said stop him. I said Yoli, he doesn't speak English and she said

06:09

I Know I said find out how he heard what the sermon was

06:15

How did he how did he know what in the world was being preached? And the guy told

06:21

Yoli there on the sidewalk that they were hearing it in their language And that's what freaked them out so so So Does John Barrows have the power to turn a heart?

06:39

No, but Jesus does and it's just so beautiful to see him do that. Thank you Thank you,

06:45

John So as you can see we have room for charismatics in the abolitionist movement

06:53

Welcome everybody, right? I Just Well, praise
