God's New Thing — Brother Yun

If we could welcome Pastor Rin, Pastor Rin, could you come up please? Amen.

Amen. Praise God. Amen. Amen. And now, like we say in China, please be seated in peace. We greet you all in the name of Jesus. And as you immediately recognize, I do not speak English. I only imitate people who speak English.

I was born in Finland, so I'm all Finnish from the beginning. And I was raised up in Sweden, and for last 32 years I've been totally messed up in China. So if you tonight understand even one word what the heavenly man is saying, it's already a miracle, because the Malcolm in the middle is a Finnish guy.

It's so great to be here. It's quite an amazing tour. We have now reached to the last weekend of it. We started three weeks ago at Bethel in Reading. So that's where we started. We usually try to go there once or twice a year.

And so it was three weeks ago we kicked off, and at the same time we kicked off the teams that were going to more than 60 nations, including the teams going to China and to Israel. So we blessed all of them personally.

And they were so packed by Holy Spirit, so I've really been worried. I haven't got any phone call from Jerusalem that there is an earthquake in Jerusalem. They were really motivated when they went there.

And I believe that kingdom of God was totally with them, and God has done amazing things there. Now, tonight we are going to lay foundation for something, and we're going to come back tomorrow morning in both of the services.

God's New Thing and the Gospel of Jesus Christ

And in order for you to understand anything, what we represent and what we say, what we do, you have to get this, what I'm saying right now. Because this is very, very biblical, what we are sharing, and that's why it's so difficult.

The Bible says that at a certain time, God is going to do a new thing. Amen? Amen. And as you know, before that, he said, do not dwell in the past. And what we want to do this evening is to erase your past.

Anything you have heard about mission, anything you have heard about expansion in kingdom of God, we want to erase everything, because God is doing a new thing. Amen? And we are very privileged that we are able to share this to you.

You have never heard about things that you're going to hear at these three meetings here. We have committed our lives to share only good news. Only good news. And there's only one source for the good news, and that's the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Amen. So now we got all these perimeters right, and now let's move into that. And so we come from a little tiny nation with name China. And as you know, this little tiny nation, actually, it represents 25 of world's population.

One out of four people living in this world are Chinese. More than two billion people. So that's the little country where we come from. And this country is very, very, very many. How many of you have visited China?

Amen? So you are my witness. China is a little bit bigger than America, and there is a little bit more people in China than are here. In China we have a saying, God so loved the Chinese that he made so many of them.

And somehow it's very hard for me as a person coming from Finland with less than five million people, I cannot really fight against that. But I still believe that Jesus loves as much me as he loves Brother Yun.

So I'm okay, praise God. Now China has been a very large nation already a long time. 2 ,000 years ago when Jesus was born, that very same year, there was a census in China. And the Chinese population already that time was more than 67 million people.

But somehow the gospel did not make it to China during the time of the first generation of Church of Jesus Christ. You remember the beginning at the Mount of Olives when Jesus said, you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.

You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem. All Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the world. Now in China we understand today that Jesus gave a direction for global mission that day. You will go west. Because if you stand on the Mount of Olives, you point to Jerusalem, you point west.

Why do you know that? Because the golden gate, the eastern gate, is just in front of you. We have been on that spot many times, so I know what we are talking about. And Apostle Paul, who is the greatest missionary who has ever been on this earth, one day in the book of Acts chapter 16, he wanted to go opposite direction.

He wanted to go to Arabia. He wanted to go to east. And you remember what happened. The spirit of Jesus did not allow him to go. Then he wanted to go north. And the same spirit stopped him. The next night he saw a vision.

A man from Europe, from west, appeared. And said, come over and help us. Why was that? Jesus sent the gospel west. If Paul had got permission, China had been preached by the gospel 2 ,000 years ago. If the spirit of God had allowed him to go north, Russia and all the countries in between would be saved.

Heard the gospel. But God had a direction for the gospel. It took 1 ,800 years before the gospel came to China. And this time, when the gospel had arrived to China, we talk about the most populated nation on this earth.

The coming superpower of all the nations of the world. And the owner of the United States. Now gospel is making room in the hearts of the people in China. In 1949, the 80's communist regime took power in mainland China.

And they turned against everything that the missionaries had been preaching there. Everything they had been teaching to the nation. Demonstrating love of Jesus. Everything was eliminated. And vacuum cleaned.

So that there was on the surface, there was no presence of any Christian testimony in China. The missionaries who were expelled, they left behind 800 ,000 fearful, lonely, simple, grassroot believers of Jesus Christ.

With no pastors, no evangelists, no missionaries, no bibles, no church buildings, no anything. But that became a beginning of the birth of a Chinese church of Jesus Christ. Before that, those 100 years the missionaries had been working in China, it was said one more Christian Chinese equals one less Chinese.

Christianity had always been seen as a western religion in China. But Jesus just erased all the white carriers of the kingdom virus. All their life work was pulled down on the ground. So totally that 1978, still there was not even one building in whole mainland China, with almost 800 million people, that inside people would worship the cross on the roof, and inside they would worship God.

Not even one building in whole mainland China. And when the visitors after the death of Mao came same year, she said that we have sent God to all early retirement in China. And the only bible, Chinese bible left, is at the History Museum.

But today, we come with good news from China. Jesus never left China. Hallelujah. And neither left Holy Spirit. Actually, they get the free ride in China. Because there were no western mission experts saying what is possible and what is impossible.

So God did according his nature, he just started to do the impossible things. Miracles, signs and wonders started to happen. Always when the simple believers, first time in their lives, they have been as good believers as we usually are.

Sitting nicely two hours or hour and a half, once a week at the church. When the pastor says stand up, everybody stands up. Raise up your hand, everybody raise up their hands. And we pray, we close eyes and we pray.

But now, they were among non-believers everywhere. The wind of atheism was blowing and these simple believers, they started to call upon the name of Jesus. And God answered and a new kind of church was founded in China.

And today, 65 years later, with the same regime, same rules and same consequences, if you announce that you are a follower of Jesus. It has not stopped the church to grow. Every month, more than 1 million people receive Jesus Christ in Mainland China today.

And when Mr. Xi became the new president of Mainland China, he received reports from more than 30 provinces. What is the status of Christianity? And he was told there are at least 160 million followers of Jesus Christ in Mainland China today.

Amen? And then these atheists, they started to prophesize and it can go anywhere. And they said if this continues, within 15 years, 1 out of 3 people who live in Mainland China today will be a follower of Jesus Christ.

And that is 500 million people. Praise God. Praise God. So God is doing a new thing. And it has been such a great joy to serve that church, which doesn't care about circumstances, which doesn't care about consequences, who are just daily denying themselves, taking their cross and following Jesus.

And wherever they go, they give testimony. There is one answer to your heart cry and emptiness of your soul, and his name is Jesus Christ. And this is the core of the power of kingdom of God. It's for you to receive.

It's for you to experience. It's not a doctrine. It's power. And it works in Mainland China. So I don't know what's wrong with our gospel in the West. And we say, we don't see a result like that. A good thought.

Back to Jerusalem and Global Mission

In the middle of this revival, God has spoken to his church that there is still work to be done. It started from Jerusalem. It started to go West. And it's still looking where is the end of the world.

And in China we believe that the end will be the day when the gospel in power will come back all the way to Jerusalem. The end is actually the beginning. And only God knew that 2014, more than 2 out of 3 people who are living on this earth will live between the Pacific Ocean in the East Coast of China and the Western Wall in Jerusalem.

Inside that part of 1040 window, 2 out of 3 people who live in this world today are living here. And more than 2 billion people who never ever have heard the name of Jesus, they are living there. More than 9 out of 10 people who never even once have heard the name of Jesus are living there.

And the church in China is now fully ready and already taking action. We will walk from China all the way back to Jerusalem. We will bring the kingdom of God to every ethnos, every people group, every village, every city, every county, every country all the way back to Jerusalem.

And we will finish the task. And in order this to happen, there are 3 things that need to happen. I don't know the politicians, basically we call this tour, bless your enemy tour. And I have already mentioned your number 1 enemy, that is China.

Because they own everything you have. They are your boss. When they start to call the shots, somebody will start to suffer. The other problem that this country has and your president Barack Obama has, he has far bigger problems than the Obamacare.

A little tiny nation with the name North Korea is ongoing like a needle in his eye. They do not know how to solve the problem of North Korea. And the third problem is Iran. What do we do with Iran? And tonight we have a solution.

What about, instead of thinking, should we send missiles upon these nations? Attack from air? What about we instead start to flood the word of God into these nations? In a way we have never been doing before.

That there will be millions and millions of words of God going into North Korea, into China, into Iran and all these other nations. We will flood them with the word of God. Do you still believe that the faith comes from the word of God?

Amen? So it has to be there. And what about, instead of sending soldiers, we will send servants of living God. People who are ready to die for Jesus, but not turn back. And this is what church in China is very good at.

They have a 65 years of reputation. We will not turn back. We will push through because kingdom of God is near. And what about, instead of declaring war, we will give these countries the greatest demonstrations of love of God.

And that is Jesus Christ. Let's introduce Jesus Christ. And before we take offering, I have to share something to you. Now, we have now been working in North Korea for about 8 years. And the good news from North Korea tonight is, people are receiving Jesus Christ in North Korea as we speak here.

And why is that happening? Because the Chinese back to Jerusalem missionaries are walking inside North Korea and they are sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. They are the only ones who are able to walk there.

And who are not to expect that their government will come and rescue them with Bill Clinton or somebody else. It will never happen. They know that our purpose, our lives, belongs to King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

And as long as he wants us to be there, he will make a way even when there is not a way. And in order to do this, we have now created a little bit smaller size of Bibles. I love the pastors who have this study Bible so thick that they almost need an assistant to carry it when they come to preach.

But that's very bad if you have to smuggle them into another country. If you have to swim across a river with them, you will sink to the bottom just with one Bible. So we have recreated the North Korean Bible.

And here you have a full-blown North Korean Bible. And praise God for China. Everything is made in China today. We just have to make sure that we engage those things to serve the Kingdom purpose. This was not ever meant to be an entertainment thing.

This was to become an audio Bible that will proclaim the Word of God into the ears of every person. Amen? And this is what we are doing. So we started to smuggle them into North Korea. And every unit we are able to bring into North Korea have led at least one family to faith into Jesus Christ.

Thousands and thousands of people have received Jesus. And this is part of what the offering will go, to be able to multiply these numbers. Praise God. Now in my other pocket, I have a next version of the North Korean Bible.

And this is actually a digital clock. Very innocent. Very innocent. It has big numbers. So even people with very poor eyesight, they can see the time right now is 7 .20 p .m. It just tells you very faithfully.

And the battery in this clock will last for five years. So it has a very good lifespan. Now, if you don't know what to do with it, and there are three buttons on this clock. It doesn't matter how you try to break it and get inside this clock.

It is one out of 20 million that you will find the way how to open it. But if you know the frequency, and you push it here, you start to read North Korean Bible. Every verse from Bible is inside this.

And somehow, the nation of North Korea is very, very interested about time. Everybody wants to see what's the time as they are walking. And the security is very simple. You just push two buttons at the same time, and it goes back to the clock.

And nobody can get what you were reading. Can you imagine that the first time in the history of the church, underground church in North Korea, with 100 security, they can study the Word of God every day, every night, every day.

Wherever they are, they have access to Word of God. Once again, second, thank you, China. Everything is made in China. And this will be also a great blessing to the underground church in Iran. Now, Iran is something where we're going to close tonight before the offering.

A very interesting country. 80 million people. And when we heard about the challenge in Iran, we heard that there's dramatic need of Bibles. Thousands of people are turning away from Islam, and they are looking who is the answer.

And when they hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ, they are willing to receive it. So about some time ago, I met some underground pastors, about 120 of them, and I was asking, what is the greatest need of the church in Iran today?

And they all said the same, again and again, please give us the Word of God. We need desperately Word of God. So in China, we responded. In the past years, we have been printing Bibles in underground presses in China for over 10 million.

So we knew something about Bible printing. So this little request from Iran, it fit exactly into the system. We said, OK, let's print a Bible, an Iranian Bible in China. And here you can see the first generation of Iranian Bibles.

Printed in China. And the funny thing about this is, we never got the copyrights to do this. So we just have to do it in Chinese way to copy it right. And we kind of felt that this book does not really belong to any society.

It is the living Word of God. So obviously, God said, do it. And we just said, OK, boss, we'll do it. And then we loaded everything into sea containers in Shanghai. And we talked to a cargo agent. And we said, there's one country where people are really suffering.

They are looking for answers into their lives. And we have made a handbook that will answer to all their questions. And she's a good non-believing communist. But when she heard about this, she said, oh, if that's the case, I will pay for the transportation.

So we loaded these containers into these freight ships. And we got them to Turkey, Istanbul. And then we loaded everything on trucks. And we traveled across the nation all the way to the Arabian border.

And smuggled in the Bibles into Iran. And we succeeded. Praise God. We learned that the Iranian border is like an age-old Swiss cheese. It has a lot of round holes in it. So we were basically squeezing in Bibles through every hole we could find into Iran.

And the reason why we know this is that four months later, one of the two ayatollahs, the top leaders of Iran, he stood up 7 p .m. one Friday night. Best sending time. And we were so happy when we saw that he had our Bible in his hand.

80 million people saw the Bible first time in their lives. And then he said, this book looks so nice. Gold, red leather, a nice handy little book. But I warn you, nobody in Iran is allowed to read this book.

This is very dangerous. I forbid you touch this book. And praise God, we never got so much free advertisements for Bible. Since that day, the nation is looking, where can I get that book? That's my only hope.

All the misery of my life has come from ayatollah. He has raped the nation. He has destroyed our relationship, our economy. All the ugly things are happening in our society. It's because of those two men.

And if he says it's bad, it must be the best thing in this world. This is happening right now. And in order to facilitate this, we have to create different sizes. So tomorrow I'm going to share the second edition of Iranian Bible.

I have it here. So it's much smaller. So you will see that tomorrow. And then I'm also going to reveal something, what is called gospel cloud. You remember what is in book of Hebrews, in chapter 12. We are surrounded by this cloud of witnesses.

Praise God, third time, everything is made in China. We are very happy to introduce gospel cloud. This room is now packed with gospel. Because of this little device. I don't ask you to turn on your iPhone, anything what you have.

But if you do that, you will get into a page. No matter where you want to go, you will never get into internet through this. You will only get to gospel cloud. And the Bible is there. The testimony is there.

The Jesus film and other Christian music. Everything is here in this. And everybody in the radio of 200 yards, they can get access to the word of God. Praise God. We believe that time has come that the house of Buddha will be shaken by the presence of living God.

We believe and we know that the house of Hindu, all those millions of God are going to fall down on their faces. And the name of Jesus will be proclaimed as the only Lord throughout Indian continent. And we also believe that in years to come, and it's already happening, the house of Muhammad will be shaken by kingdom of God.

And the gospel will be proclaimed. Because we believe Buddha is not the Lord. Hindu is not the Lord. And Muhammad is absolutely not the Lord. There's only one Lord and his name is Jesus Christ. So anything we do tonight will be un-reducted to continue to develop and produce these in millions.

So that we can fill the land with word of God, with servants of God, and demonstrating the gospel of Jesus Christ. God bless you all.

So at this time we would like to take up an offering. If you have cash, we've got ushers with envelopes. If you're going to write out a check, hear me, do not write it out to Grace Center. Write it out to Back to Jerusalem Incorporated.

And we will, let's just leave this up here.

So while you're getting your money and check ready, we're going to ask, Father, Lord, it's our desire to come into agreement with what you are doing all over the world. And so Lord, we ask Lord, I ask that you would take whatever comes in tonight, Lord, that you would multiply it.

Lord, we declare that none of your plans can be turned around. And so Lord, it's with great love tonight, Lord, that we come into agreement and partner alongside our brothers and sisters who are taking on this task, this work, this project from you.

Lord, we bless them. We seek a blessing over this. We speak many, many, many, many, many, many returns. Lord, for your kingdom's sake, in Jesus' name, amen. So if we could go ahead and begin to start to pass the buckets, that would be great.

Jesus' Love and Brother Yun's Testimony

So we can get Brother Yun up here. How do you pronounce? Yun.

Yun. Yun. Okay. It means a cloud. It means a cloud. So he's going to introduce himself. And as you are taking the offering, I think he will come and he will start again. Yeah. Okay.

So can we welcome Brother Yun? Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Glory to Jesus. Glory to Jesus.

Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Amen. Amen. And now with great passion and faith, take hold of the hand of the person next to you and say to that person, fluently in Chinese, Amen. Hallelujah.

Hallelujah. The reason why we love Jesus is because he first loved us so much. How many Chinese speaking there are here today? Praise God. Amen. Amen. And that's why I'm always insisting to teach to my audience a few words, very core of the gospel, in Chinese so that they can witness to Chinese about how Jesus loves them.

Amen. Amen. Amen. One, two, three. Wonderful. Amen. Hallelujah. And just because that you don't forget it, because usually everything you learn in a meeting, after five minutes you forgot it. So I'm just going to make this a life for you so you never forgot it.

But Chinese is the world's most simple language. Hallelujah. Yes, so it's Jesus. So yes, so it's Jesus. Yes. Yes, so. Jesus. This is English, I. I. This is me. And this is me. Yes, so I need. Yes. Jesus loves you.

Hallelujah. Amen. And now repeat this to at least three people around you so that you are fluent in your Chinese. Yes, so I need. Amen. Yes, so I need. Amen. Yes, so I need. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. One, two, three.

Yes, so I need. Amen. Yes, so I need. Do not fear. Jesus. Jesus loves you. Amen. Amen. They call me Heavenly Man Brother Yun. And none of these two names were given to me by my father and mother. So how many of you have read my life story, Heavenly Man?

This was the record, yeah. Hallelujah. Even though there are few, you haven't read it, it's not important. Most important, have you read the Word of God? Amen! Hallelujah! How many of you believe that the Bible is the living Word of God and there's only one name given to us that we can be saved, and that name is Jesus?

Hallelujah! Amen! There's a Bible passage that is really burning inside my heart tonight, and I want to share that with you. And even though this is a very short prayer, but it has been very important to me.

And I'm going to read from Genesis 28, verses 20, 21, and 22. Then Jacob made a vow saying, if God will be with me and will watch over me on this journey I am taking, and will give me food to eat and clothes to wear, so that I return safely to my father's household, then the Lord will be my God.

And this stone that I have set up as a pillar will be God's house, and of all that you give me I will give you a tenth. This story, this prayer, is similar to my personal testimony, my life story. My mother received the gospel through western missionaries before the revolution in the 1930s.

And as Brother Ren was sharing, when Mao Zedong took power, he expelled all the missionaries from China. And in 1978, the widow of Mao Zedong boldly proclaimed that from today we have moved Christianity to history museum in China.

But Mao and his other leaders, they got all wrong. And all these, including Mao, all the other leaders, one after the other, they died and they moved to a history museum. But Jesus Christ was resurrected from dead in the hearts of millions and millions of souls in China.

Hallelujah. Now my personal testimony is not in any way exceptional, it's just one wonderful testimony about power of Jesus in a family's life, among millions of families that are in China. My beloved, we didn't have any possibility to choose who will become our parents, which family we are born into.

We were not given opportunities to decide who will become our parents. None of these are not so important. The most important is the fact we started, Jesus loves us. If you really get to hear the gospel that Jesus loves you, and you start to put your trust upon Jesus, and you make that commitment to Jesus, that will become the transformation of your life, and the change of your life.

My mother told me later that the last word the missionaries told her in late 1940s, they said, do not fear, we have to leave you, but remember, Jesus will never forsake you. He loves you, and he will be always with you, but it started to happen like Jesus said, that Satan has come to steal, kill, and destroy, but at the same time, Jesus' mission has been that I have come, that they would have an abundant life, have eternal life.

When I was 15 years old, just previously, a big misery hit our family. First, my oldest brother starved to death, and then my father was conducted to have a severe sickness. And then my father was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and he was dying.

In that situation, my mother could not take it anymore. She had seen the starvation was still going on. Husband is dying cancer. So one night, my mother decided to end her misery, and decided to suicide.

And as she was standing on the chair, and just about to hang herself, she heard a voice of the Holy Spirit calling, my child, do not give up, come back home, Jesus loves you. It was completely dark, it was past midnight, there was nobody in that room, and she was wondering, who is speaking to me?

Suddenly, she reminds that these were the last words of the missionaries, remember, Jesus loves you. My mother had not been praying for tens of years, she kneeled down by the chair, and recommitted her life to Jesus, and was embraced by love of Jesus after midnight.

After she had reconciled her life to Jesus, she came to us five children, and woke us up, and shared with us what had happened. And she said, children, wake up, let us kneel down by Father's dying bed, and call upon the name of Jesus, Jesus is going to heal my husband.

This was the first time we children heard the name of Jesus, mother had never said that word even one time to us. Now, the Chinese culture is a little bit different to a western culture, it doesn't matter what time of the day or night it is, if your parents say you do something, you just don't negotiate about it, you just stop, and you do as they tell.

So mother said, let's kneel around the Father's bed, and call upon the name of Jesus, and we were thinking, who in the world is this Jesus? I didn't have a clue who Jesus was. And I said that if, like Jacob said in this prayer, if God will be with me and watch over me, and I can return back out, then the Lord will be my God.

And my prayer was very logical, I said, Jesus, if you heal my father, and you give me some food to eat, I'm starving, and you give me some proper clothes to carry, I will always proclaim that you are my God.

And what I wanted to say to Jesus was, very simple, if you fulfill the basic needs of my heart and my body, I will always be faithful for you, and I will proclaim to everybody that you are a living God, and you are my God.

And when we heard our mother pray, Jesus have mercy upon my father, my husband, have mercy, we started to cry, Jesus have mercy upon our father, we need our father, have mercy upon our father. And as we were calling upon the name of Jesus, my father knew the name of Jesus.

We saw, first time in our lives, that tears were running from his eyes. And somehow, the tears running from our eyes, became a flood, a flood of God's presence, and solution to our problems. Within one week, my father stood up completely healed and restored from the last stage of cancer.

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, Jesus Christ is same yesterday, today, and forever. He never changes. Always, when we talk about that Jesus loves us, or that we love Jesus so much, in my world, it is because I have seen the demonstration of that love that first came to over my family, and changed my whole family.

Hallelujah, hallelujah. The very same day as my father was completely restored and stood up from his bed, he commanded us children, and to go and invite all our closest relatives and friends to come to our house to listen what Jesus has done in our family.

There were no churches in China during the Cultural Revolution, but our home became a beginning of a house church in China. Hallelujah, hallelujah. And the very first meeting of the house church, when all the relatives have come in, and my father and mother have shared what God has done, all our family members, they received Jesus as their Savior and Lord, and our mother became our first preacher.

Hallelujah, hallelujah. And now with conviction, say loud to one another, do not fear. Say this, do not fear. Jesus loves you. Do not allow your past to hinder you to receive a new future with Jesus. Amen.

And very important that you aloud, you proclaim, do not allow your past to hinder you something new from Jesus tonight. Amen. Amen. We have all failed, but He has never failed. We may often be unfaithful, but He remains faithful.

If it was possible that my illiterate mother would be able to become a preacher, anyone in this room is more qualified to be a preacher. Hallelujah, hallelujah. She was illiterate. I never forgot her first, most anointed message that she delivered to us, the family church one morning.

The Holy Spirit and the Power to Witness

How many of you have memorized book of Acts 1 and 8? You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you so that you are familiar. You know what is there in verse 8. Hallelujah, hallelujah. When my mother started her wonderful message about book of Acts, it was totally complete different gospel.

And now he thinks that his interpreter has better Chinese than the missionaries had who were preaching gospel to my mother. I don't know. I wasn't there. The missionaries who came, they had the seal, they had the passion, but the Chinese were very lousy, and they got all the tones wrong, and you missed the tones, the turns in the language.

You got the completely different gospel. And my mother started to preach. She said, when the power of the Holy Dragon comes upon you, you will receive the power of the dragon. And then she said, you will receive power of the dragon so that you can drag all your sicknesses and bury them to Jerusalem.

My mother didn't know anything about the place named Judea. It sounded like soya field, so she sent us to the soya fields. We were surrounded by soya fields. And that became a theme song of the church.

The power of the dragon, sicknesses to Jerusalem, and running to the soya fields. I don't think anyone has been called to come into the kingdom of God because we are so smart. It's all the unending love of God through Jesus Christ who threw us to salvation.

And most important is not how exactly you can pronounce all the words of the Bible. The most important is, are you a real children of living God? And is your trust upon living God? Hallelujah. How many Christians do we have here this evening?

Amen. Almost everybody. And now say this aloud to one another. You are chosen nation. Amen. Hallelujah. You are chosen by God. You are children of living God. Amen. It doesn't matter how mixed up your gospel is.

It has nothing to do with your salvation because that is gift of God. You have received it. It's in your heart. Hallelujah. The beloved son of God was ready to die for our sins on the cross. And his blood, by his blood, he brought us free from the slavery of sin.

Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And it's amazing that many of the words we were using in the prayer were wrong except the one that we always did that in the name of Jesus and miracles and signs and wonders follow.

Hallelujah. And when I started to go out and share the gospel, I didn't have a clue that by faith you will receive eternal life. I only knew Jesus as a healer like he has healed my father from terminal cancer.
