The first one is the possibility that I can find Christ as my personal savior, you see I do not know you this Sunday morning, and we are coming into the Christmas season, and maybe you are sitting in this church this Sunday morning, and you don't know Christ as your personal savior, maybe you have made some commitment to the life of Christ, in fact maybe you have gone through the waters of baptism, but you know it's like this student that I dealt with in New Zealand, Janice and myself some time ago, and one evening after the evening lecture, this girl came to me and she said can I talk to you, and I said yes what is it, and she turned to me and she said you made a statement in your last session, and I said what was it, I said what's your name, and she said my name is Laura, and I said what was it, and she said you made a statement, and you said there is no hunger, there is the possibility that there is no life, and I said why does it bother you, she said well you don't understand, my mother sent me to this Bible college, because my mother wanted me to study the Bible, and she said to be honest with you Gerard, my mother sent me here because my mother is not sure that I am a Christian, and so I turned to her, and I said Laura tell me your story, and we sat there on our knees in the front of the lecture room, and as we were on our knees she began to talk to me, and she tell me her story, as a little girl of five years she gave her life to the Lord Jesus, and she said you know I asked him to come into my life, and then she said in fact I was baptized in this church in Western Canada, and then she said after that she said that there is a problem, and she said my life never really changed, and she said there was really no difference in my life, she said it's a problem, and then she told me everything, and after she did it she said to me so Gerard what do you think, and I said Laura you are not going to like this, and she said what is it, I said I think your mother is right, she said are you telling me that I am lost, I said Laura everything that you have said to me, and I mean the tears were streaming down my cheeks you know, I don't want to see people go into a lost eternity, and I said everything that you told me, I have no sense in my heart that you have really been regenerated, and born of the Spirit of God, and her eyes you know you would, I wish you could see it, it's just this fear came upon her little face, and she looked at me, and she said I am in a Bible college, and she said what will happen if I die tonight, I said Laura you are going to go from a Bible college into the internal flames of hell, and she wept, she said I don't want to do that, and she said will you lead me to Christ, and I began systematically to explain to her God's plan of salvation, man's condition that we are lost, God's provision that Christ came, man's responsibility which is repentance, God's promise which is eternal life, and you know what can I be honest with you this morning, it sometimes takes me three hours to lead people to Christ, you say why my brother and my sister if you lead someone to Christ it's the most important thing that you can do in your life, the pastor asked me some time ago when you lead people to Christ why do you need three hours if you have that you can do with it, I said I go systematically through God's plan of salvation, and he said why do you need three hours to lead people to Christ, you know what I said to him, it saved me so much time in the future, I don't need to run after them and wonder if it's one of these situations where we're not sure if they really found Christ or not, and you know what happened, she got through to God, and she said I'm going to phone my mother right now, and I said where is your mother, she said my mother is in a place called Steinbeck Manitoba, that's out there in the boonies of Canada you know, and I said oh, and I said what does your mother do, she said my mother is the secretary of Emanuel Evangelical Free Church in Steinbeck Manitoba, it's a church with a thousand people, and I said oh, and she went and she phoned her mother and she came back and she said my mother is overwhelmed, in the middle of the night in Canada you know, I mean who cares, so, and she said I woke my mother up and my mother is so glad I became a Christian, and she said my mother said who led you to Christ, and she said this missionary, this man, and his name is Gerard de Toy, and her mother said ah, I heard him thirty years ago, no wonder you got saved you know, I said oh, mercy me, and she said can you tell me something, when are you flying back, I said Wednesday, she said where are you speaking the weekend, I said in Emanuel Evangelical Church in Steinbeck, she said are you serious, I said yeah I've been scheduled for more than a year, man I tell you her mother, she got the whole church together you know, I mean it was wonderful, and guess what happened, Laura is on fire for God, now let me ask you something here this Sunday morning, because we don't know you, and you maybe are going into Christmas, you may be just a young person that's it here, and you've never ever been saved, you don't know that your sins has been forgiven, you know little Laura when I led her to Christ, and I took the scriptures, and I said Laura I want you to read this verse, and she said which one, I said it's Psalm 103 verse 12, and she read it, and you said what did it say, it says as far as the east is from the west, so far have I removed your iniquities from you, and I said Laura how far is the east from the west, oh she said Gerard if I'm not mistaken the east and the west never connect, I said exactly, I said you read another little verse of scripture to me, and she said which one is it, I said it's in Micah 7 verse 18, and she grabbed the Bible and find it, and Micah 7 verse 18 said God has taken our iniquities and our sins and he has cast it in the depth of the ocean, and I said Laura, I said do you know how deep the ocean is at it's deepest point, she said I'm not sure, I said scientifically the ocean at it's deepest point is 7 miles Laura, and she said wow, she said Gerard what do you want me to do, I said well he has cast our sins in the depth of the ocean, she said what is my responsibility, you know what I said to her, put a sign on the beach that says no fishing, it's all gone, if you don't know Christ today, listen there's a time we know not when, a place we know not where, and it seals the destiny of men, and the same son that is suffering the butter is the son that hardens the clay, and you sit there as a young person, I was just at the funeral of a young Indian man, 17 years old, graduated, he was brilliant, and I walk into this funeral home to organize a funeral for my brother -in -law who was dying of cancer, and I walked in here, and here are these Indians people, 400 of them sitting, and I walked in, and this place, and here's this picture of this 17 year old lovely Indian boy from the land of India out in western Canada, and he's 17 years old, he graduated with honors, and he's dead, they bury him, and I turned to the man at the funeral home, I said oh this is a tragic, I said what happened to this young boy, and the man just looked down and said he was drunk, he crashed and killed himself, can I ask you something this morning, because I don't know if I would ever have the privilege to speak to you again, life is very brief you know, like the falling of a leaf, and if you are here this Sunday morning and you're not saved, is there not a way that you can come, and say I want to give my life to Jesus Christ, let me close, my wife often say you know, you're just like a 747 jumbo jet, you never have a problem to take off, but you always struggle to land, and we've been turning over Honolulu now long enough, let's try and bring this plane down, let me ask you a question, you sit here this morning as a Christian, and you've been knowing Christ for many many years, and please don't misunderstand me, but you sit here this morning as a Christian, and you've been grieving the Holy Spirit of God, for many years of your Christian relationship with God, can I ask you this morning as the father of your children, my brother, are you living a Christian life, that creates in the hearts of your children a hunger and a thirst for God, can I ask you a question this morning, because here is the reality, you know we deal with theological students, and 90 of students in theological schools in North America, and in fact in the western world, you know what I discover, 90 of the men students are struggling with a thing that is called pornography, and you go and ask my wife, 80 of girls students who are studying in Bible colleges all over the world, they have been caught up in aspects of pornography, because they do not realize the brutality of something that they visualize, and they see, and when they see something that they visualize, it becomes such a reality, and they carry this baggage with them, we saw a break in a Bible college in New Zealand, some time ago, when the Spirit of God came, and God came to church, and we were thrown in three days of prayer, where hour after hour after hour, student after student was meeting with God, and some of them were gloriously saved, and we just came out of Germany, where we sat with 110 students, in a Bible college in the border of Germany and Switzerland, and we discovered that 15 of those students were never even born of the Spirit of God, and let me ask you this morning, because here is the problem my brother and sister, and I am speaking to my own heart, everything that you and I read, we are forcing the Holy Spirit to be exposed to that, everything that you and I think, we are forcing the Holy Spirit to process what we are thinking, and you say how do I live a Christian life, well let me tell you something this morning, the only way that you are going to survive, because I need to tell you, the western society, if it has been corrupt and evil, and if our country is far from God, I tell you, it's possible that it's going to get worse before it will come better, and if you and I are not going to walk with God, we are going to be swallowed up in this society, and my Christian life will have no impact upon the lives of people, you see what does it mean, Jesus came and he said, listen, I have a massive burden for this church, and I'm not one of these people that blow in and blow out and blow up, I don't need to be in touch with your pastor on a monthly basis to find out what's happening, I don't do that and I don't want to do it, he said what do you want to do, I just want to be in touch with God, and I've got a deep concern upon my heart for this church you know, you see if you and I walk through this parking lot this morning, there's some beautiful vehicles standing all over the place, there are many of us who sit here in this morning service, and financially you're doing fine, I mean my wife and myself we've been so impressed with the campus here, and we walk through and potential of doing some adjustments as it relates to the sanctuary, and we live in this beautiful little apartment there, and the people are so kind, oh man I tell you, we've got so much food there, we're digging our graves with our teeth you know, I mean it's just brutal you know, and then we, pastor Jonathan took us in the little apartment there, and you know the only place where it's not an air conditioner is the washroom, I mean I said to my wife, there's so many air conditioners here, they can freeze us up and send us back to Canada you know, listen, you've got absolutely everything, and we can have absolutely everything, but we don't have the presence of God, and if we don't know the presence of God, you say how do you define the presence of God, I can't define it, but I always know when it's not there, and Jesus Christ came and he said, he that loses his life in me, is going to find it, let me challenge you this Sunday morning, and I'm doing it because my heart is smashed up for this place, we don't want a church, it's full of people that want to, does not want to be full of God, you say Gerardi Toy, if I surrender my life this morning, I'm speaking to you as a Christian, if I put my life this morning on the altar for God, and I say to God, as the mother of my children, I don't want to lose the spirit of motherhood, if I want to see God as the husband of my wife, I want to fulfill my priestly duty in the house, I want to be the leader, if I say God I want you to break my heart, for the things that breaks my heart, and I want to surrender myself to you, and you sit here this Sunday morning, and you say what is it going to cost me, I need to tell you my brother and sister, it's going to cost us absolutely everything, and every single thing that God has entrusted unto us, is going to need to be surrendered to Him, and watch when He said, whatever you surrender, whatever you give, He's going to break it, like the five rows and the two fishes, you say why is He going to break it, because He's going to feed the multitudes of people.
