In this sermon, the preacher tells the story of a young man who squandered his inheritance on a life of sin and pleasure. Eventually, he finds himself in a desperate situation, feeding pigs and longing for their food. When he decides to return to his father, he is met with unexpected love and forgiveness. The preacher emphasizes the unconditional love of God and encourages the audience to take a step towards God, knowing that He is always ready to receive and forgive.

There are New Testaments in the back there. If you're here and you don't have a Bible, Bernie Johnson will give you a copy. Just raise your hand. Please raise your hand if you need the Bible. Here's what's written. In 1 Peter 4, from verse 15 to 18, If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer, or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler. However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you are there in thy name. For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God. And if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the principles of God? And if it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinners? It is verse 17 that struck us as we were looking at the Urban Statement. For it is time for judgment to begin in the family of God. There is a judgment of God. And it will begin with everything that is called the house of God. So, those of us who say that we are Christian and we are the house of God, we better know it. And judgment will not begin by those who do not claim to be Christian. They will be judged certainly. And it will not begin from them. But it will begin somewhere, in the family of God, in Christianity. And those who call themselves Christian will go one after the other, trip on the truth, to explain their Christianity, to give account for their Christianity, to be weighted on God's balance. So, there is what our churches say, that you are a Christian, you did bad things and now you are a Christian. That is a church verdict. They count you among the members. And there is another verdict more important, of the judgment seat of God, that will begin in the house of God. For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God. So, by all those who call themselves Christian, and it begins with us as the Apostle Peter, where will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God? So, in this one verse, the Apostle is addressing both those who claim to be Christian and those who are ungodly. God will weigh in his house those who want to call themselves Christian, and he will go outside the church to weigh people there also. We must ask ourselves a question. Because the Apostle Paul said, if you judge yourself, you will not be judged. It is important that we judge ourselves. And that we ask ourselves the question, what I call Christian living, what I call Christian, in God's eyes, is it not a failure? Is my Christianity not falsehood? Will God acknowledge it as a genuine Christianity? If not, I am deceiving myself very deeply. And I will be very sorry on that judgment day, before the judgment seat of God. But if we judge ourselves now, it might be that we will have time to correct our condition. It might be that we will be able to correct the situation, and go from failure to success, and go from a false Christianity to a genuine one. So, we have invited an authority on this subject, Professor Fommel, who is here, to speak to us on this night. Because he has written a series of books on this topic. And the books are on the table on the back. How to succeed in the Christian life, the way of Christian service, the way of obedience, through repentance. Freedom from the sin of fornication and adultery. The way of life. There are over a hundred titles, to explain what true Christian living is and what it is not, in a straightforward way and without hypocrisy. So that when you read them, you can ask yourself the question, where do I stand? That you will not deceive yourself. It might help you to save yourself, before this judgment that begins now, so God will begin with you. Because Jesus said that if you are walking with someone and you have a problem with them, solve it while you are still on the way, before you reach the court. For once you are there, you will not get out of it until you have paid the last penny. So, at the court there is no mercy. I would like to help you to really examine the question of whether the Lord will tell you your Christianity is a true one. I have proof of it. I recognize it. Before we hand it over to Professor Frommel, I would ask that one song be sung in English and another one in French, in the sense of this theme. The friends from Montreal will sing, and our friends from Ireland will sing one song. And today, and then after I will hand it over to Professor Frommel, who will handle the very aspect of this topic that we've been covering for the last two days. Let's pray just before the singers come, so that the Lord, who is God and who knows, will lead us today. Our Lord, we thank you, because you are the supreme author of Christianity. You are the one who sent Jesus Christ on earth. You know what you wanted to do. We ask, open our eyes on what you intended to do, and open our hearts that we might accept what you intended for us to do, so that on that day, before that judgment seat, our verdict will be a positive one, and that we'll be happy, blessed, and not confused. In Jesus' name, Amen. The President from Montreal, Ms. Scunthorpe. I see your eyes. To save time, we'll just go ahead with the teaching. We thank you for your graciousness. Praise the Lord. I'm strongly troubled by the fact that Jesus is the answer for the world today. Above him, there is no other. Jesus is with me. Some village, far away from here, there was work to do. There was farming. There was all that had to be done. And the father was strict. And he was a statistician. Everybody had to work. And the mother was strict. You could not bring girls and take them to your room. If a girl came, all talking with her was in the sitting room. Everything was strict. There was no beer. There was no alcohol. Everything was in order. The younger son, his heart was twisted. His heart was twisted. He said, I went to paradise. He gave me my own portion of the wealth. And I will go to Montreal and every highlight, every highlight, every highlight. But year in, year out, the father seems to be getting younger and stronger. Every year, the father seems to be going more straight. Since the day, this is trouble. I have this kind of father who seems to be Getting younger with passing years. Do you know if you could respond to that? He has the look of a young man with 20. So look. What is he saying? You need money. When you are young. When you move like that. When you walk like that. You can say oh. That is a guy. That is a guy. So who wants money? He says who needs money. When you are old. You are living on a stick. And you have money. What is the use of it? You need money when you are young. When you can respond to high life. And the years went back. The father worked. And was younger and younger. And it was more and more strict. And it was more and more strict. Finally the son said look. This kind of father. Can make you miss all of life. It is better to keep the iron while it is hot. After he had waited. He said well. Papa is not getting old. He is not getting sick. He is not getting old. I will do something about it. He said Papa. It is settled by law. That when you die. Part of your wealth will become mine. Papa give me a second. Give me my portion now. Now now now now. Let me enjoy it. While this youth and life flow into my veins. I am young to enjoy life. Now now now now. Now now now now. It is a pleasure. To seek pleasure now now now. The sinner says. Let's go to bed. We will think about marriage afterwards. Now now now now. Let me touch your breast. Let me touch your body. Now now now now. Please. Go and talk to my parents. No no no. Parents can be seen afterwards. It is of the sinner. To say now now now now. The sinner goes to university. Instead of studying. He says now now now now. Now now now now. Let's enjoy life. We will stop afterwards. In our graduate years. We had a classmate. The class was given every month. For the Sierra Leoneans. When he took the scholarship. He will disappear from school until he is finished. When the money is finished he will come back. He said let's go and study. When he is finished he will come and study. How can one study when there is money in the pocket. The sinner says. Pleasure now now now. Let's take the money now now now. So this one says. Father give me my portion now now now. Now now now now. He will not think. Now now now. Now now now. The thing that is interesting. Is that the father did what he asked. Whether there were cows. He divided them. And this portion. All three he divided. All cows he divided. He took it. He sold. He sold everything. And put the money in. He opened the coat and sewed it inside. You are not meant to talk like this. He had a village look. A village mentality. When he sold everything. That night he could not sleep. Say one life ahead of me. Montreal. In the morning. He came out. And took some transport. He saw the lights. He saw the streets. He saw the shops. Oh he saw the girls. In miniskirts. With their dress half open. Say ya ya ya ya ya. Oh that's life that's life that's life. Ah that's life that's life. Ha ha ha ha. That's why papa almost made me miss. Oh papa almost. Oh. He entered the papa's shop. He said give me. Give me a modern haircut. That's like a show guy. They gave me a haircut. He entered the shop. What suits. What. Where he dressed. What the most expensive shoes. He looked at some in the middle. He said ya ya ya ya. Ya that's me that's me. That's me that's me. Ya ya ya ya. Then he checked it. He loved it. That was the most expensive watch I had in town. Is there anything else in here? Yes. The Sheraton. He got the. He booked them and took a number of suits. He. He. He. He. When he was in the village. He was called Aaron. Aaron. He said his name Aaron. Aaron. It's in the bible. It's old. It's old. It's not musical. It will not work here. He said from now on. My name is James Brown Jr. How are you? James Brown Jr. Then it was this guy. It was that guy. It was this guy. It was this kind of alcohol. It was this kind of drink. It was this kind of whisky. It was this man. It was this man. Sin is sin is sin is sin is sin is sin is I want to ask you. How long have you been in this city? How much money have you earned? Where is it? What can you show for all the money you have earned? In your life. Sinners keep no records. They spend, they spend, they spend. Spend, spend, spend. I want to ask you again. What can you show for all the money you have earned in your life? Spending, spending, spending, spending. Spending, spending, spending, spending, spending. I want to ask you. How much money is in your account in heaven? Look chapter 12. Verse 33 and 34. Look chapter 12. Verse 33 and 34. Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Sell your possessions and give to the poorest of the poor. Who are the poorest poor? Anyone without Christ is absolutely poor. He is poor and bankrupt beyond description. He may be a head of state but he is poor. He may be the richest man found but he is poor. Because in 200 years from now he will have nothing. He will have the lake of fire. So it says, sell your possessions and give the gospel to those without the gospel. Because those are the poorest poor. Sell what you have and give the gospel to those without the gospel. Sell your possessions and give the gospel to those without the gospel. And in that way you provide purses for yourself. You collect treasures for yourself. You collect a purse for yourself. A treasure in heaven. As you invest in the possessions of men you provide a treasure for yourself in heaven. You provide a purse for yourself. The Lord says we should provide purses for ourselves in heaven. The Lord says we should provide purses for ourselves in heaven. That cannot be stolen. Money in heaven that cannot be devalued. All money that is on earth is actually nobody's money. Because you can lose it. There was a time in Cameroon from one month to the next two my salary went from $2000 to $500. Salaries were reduced and the currency was devalued. So my salary that was equivalent to $2000 became equivalent to $500. As university professor of the highest grade or the super scale from $2000 to $500 that's what happens to many soldiers. Every day they are being devalued. They are devalued. Money that is invested in the possessions of men is re-evaluated every year. If in 2007 you invest $10,000 into a perishing source of money that money in 2008 in heaven will become $100,000. In 2009 it will become $1,000,000. In 2010 $10,000,000. In 2011 $100,000,000. And so forth. That's what is happening with money that is invested in heaven. Every year there is a new value added to it. When you keep it on earth it is going down. Because even the interest rate does not match up with devaluation. But the money that is put in heaven in the bank of heaven by investing into a perishing source of money every year the value becomes higher and higher. That's money in heaven. It takes a fool to keep his money on earth so that it is going down, going down, going down. In addition what is invested into a perishing source of money people will be saved and the number of people will be increasing. I want to tell you it takes a fool to keep his money on earth It's not yours. There could be a problem in Wall Street. There was a time I was in the US. There was a certain brother who had $100,000,000. They told him to give a tie. They told him, they told him. The brother, he calculated it. It was too big. $10,000,000. He refused to tie. I know him personally. He even flew me in his personal plane. When I was going to prison in Louisiana then there was a problem in Wall Street. At the end of the day he told us he had lost 10%. One brother told him, that sounds like a tie. This is not fiction, it's reality. He didn't give it to God. In fact, during that problem in Wall Street the richest American then lost $1,000,000. It's in the book on Bill Clinton's biography. Because the rich man went to visit Bill Clinton that time. But this brother lost 10%. $10,000,000. But he did not give to God. He gave to the air. I want to ask you. What have you done with all the income of your life? What have you done with all the income of your life? Spending, spending, spending. And you have nothing to show for it. Have you confronted the fact that anyone who invests on earth has lost his capital? There was a time in Germany. When the money was in such large quantities. It was carried in wheelbarrows. I know that. You keep money in wheelbarrows, they would throw the money and steal the wheelbarrow. Because the money was worthless. I went to Lyon. With my man about some years ago. Went to a bank. With $3,000 CFA. That's $100. The money was so much. They gave us the biggest unit. It was so much. I removed my Bible. And we filled this Bible cover with the money. $100. And we ran quickly home. The money had been devalued, devalued, devalued. In a country I won't call the name. When I went to visit the missionaries 7, no, 8 years ago. One US dollar was 6 of the local dollars. After 7 years. It was $30,000 local dollars. $30,000 to $1 US dollars. He who keeps his money on earth. Has decided to lose his capital. Those who bank in heaven. Their money re-evaluates. If the Lord says, provide persons for yourselves. We shall need many in heaven. If not, the Lord will not be saying, provide persons for yourselves. You don't provide persons for the pastor. Why you give your money to the church? It is not recorded in heaven in the pastor's name. It's recorded in your name. If the pastor wants money in his name, the pastor has to give his money to God. The angels are recording accurately. The angels are recording accurately. Provide persons for yourselves. We shall spend endless years in heaven. We are here for 120 years. What portion of your income are you saving to heaven? Keeping for those endless years. Compared to the portion that you are spending here. Man would save 10%. To spend it for trillions and trillions and trillions and trillions of years of endless eternity. And spends 90%. For the 120 years here. It's not wise. Brother, for me, I say, brother, this 10%, is it before cassation or after cassation? He was afraid, at least God will seek. At least he gives a bit too much to God. I told him, if you are so threatened, give it after cassation. I was afraid that his heart would fall out. But he says, provide persons for yourself. A treasure that will not be devalued. He cannot steal it. I want to ask you, are you strategically investing into your accounts in heaven? Or you think that you are cheating God? You can't cheat God. You can only cheat yourself. Because the account is yours. You will need to draw from it. So this fellow spends, spends, spends, spends. Spend it, spend it, spend it, spend it, spend it, spend it. Spend it, spend it, spend it. It's wasting, wasting, wasting. There are three types of people. There are those who waste money. That's the lowest class. They waste money. The next class, they spend money. On rent, on food, on transportation, on clothes. They spend money, they spend money. The highest class, they invest money. They invest money. Are you spending money again? Where the prodigal son? He spends, spends, spends. There was abundance in the city. There was abundance in the city. The money was going. It was not coming in. It's like the car. It's like the car. You see the hole there? You put it and you press. You put it and you press. That hole is ever-drinking. That hole is ever-drinking. Then you open it and a ten dollar note falls out. There is not a day when you open it and a ten dollar note falls out. Then you open it. Then you open it. That's how to spend money. But to invest is to plan strategically and put it in certain projects. That have eternal consequences. When the boy was enjoying high life, when Brown Junior was Marguerite, today was Pauline, and one girl after another, one club after another, one tobacco hall after another, one type of alcohol after another, the money was going but it was not coming back. Then he discovered that nothing was left. Then he was told out of the hotel. Then he was told to get in town. He could not replace them. It was finished. The money was finished. He was told out of the hotel. He was told out. He was afraid that the police may follow him. Then he said, I am no longer Jim Grant Junior. My name is Aaron. Aaron. That's the name my father gave me. He was enraged. He was hungry. And there was no money. He went and saw somebody had a piglet and wanted to feed swine. So he may eat pig's food. But they told him, you are worse than a pig. Pig's food is too good for you. You shall not be eating it. We will not give it to you. When the money was gone, famine befell that country. Famine is timing the sinner. It is waiting when you will be in need. Then famine will come without warning. The stomach was making requirements. Then one day, he saw Mary, she was not with another man. She was with another man. This man was the only man she had ever seen in the world. Jim Grant Junior went there. He said, hello Mary. Mary said, what's wrong? He said, Mary, what's wrong? Mary said, there are mad men in the city. He was afraid to know one's name. He meets Pauline. Pauline looks at him from left to right. Then he meets this drinking maid. King of youth. He is well dressed. Jim Grant Junior said, king of youth. She said, I'm coming, I'm coming. She said, I'm coming, I'm coming. The girls did not want him. The men did not want him. The stomach was making requirements. Oh sin. Oh sin. The Bible says the wage of sin is death. The Bible says the wage of sin is death. In some places like in Cameroon when you start to work they give you the salary advance. After you have worked for some time they calculate and give you your full salary. Sin has salary advance. All the problems that sin causes. The problems that sin causes to a sinner. All the diseases that go with sin. All the problems that go with sin. And then sin has the full pay. When you beat the lake of fire that will be the full pay. Some classmates of ours told us that all the good great musicians will be in hell. So there will be a lot of high life in hell. Oh it will be high life. When we were studying they called it soul music. You two girls and first on your hopelessness. They said in hell there will be soul music. There will be night club. Then they said you two will be singing sins. Oh Lord my Lord. I wonder. There will be no high life in hell. There will be no music in hell. Music is of God. Although it is distorted by Satan. There will be no music in hell. There will be no high life. There will be no dancing in hell. People are to dance for God. Although some deceitful people dance for Satan. There will be no dancing in hell. There will be suffering in hell. Suffering in hell. There will be no community life in hell. Every sinner in hell will be locked in his own world. So that he may suffer to the fullest for having rejected God's love that is given in Christ Jesus. Hell will be a place of suffering, suffering, suffering. Oh the whiskey drinker will want whiskey but he will not have a drop of water. The sinner in hell he will want certain morality. He will want Mary but he will not even see a woman from a distance. The desire shall be consumed by passion. Consumed by passion. But there will be no doorway whatsoever by which the passion can be quenched even for a second. He shall be suffering, suffering, suffering. And every request from hell will receive only one answer, no. You know the story of the rich man and Lazarus. The first request of the rich man who was in hell was that they should send Lazarus to dip his finger in water and come and put it on his tongue. If somebody has to dip his hand if somebody has to dip his hand and come and put it on his tongue, how much can you have? But that one was even denying him. Then he said, I have five brothers. Send someone to go and preach to them. He thought about his brothers because his brothers were like him. Their family condemned him. Everybody in his family was as lost as him. Even that one was rejected. He was said, he has Moses and the prophets. And he said, if they will not believe Moses and the prophets, even if someone went from the town of the dead, they would still not believe. There was a woman in a place called Banga. A woman. So the deaconess of the church there. She had cancer of the resource. She went to a reference hospital in Douala. They did the chemotherapy and all the therapies. Her hair fell off. But the cancer did not move a bit. So she was a very godly woman. I met her in Douala. I said, come to yonder, God will heal you. She went and told her husband. The man told her, if your former man heals you, I will believe in God and join your church. She came from Banga to yonder. I called some other brethren. I called some other brothers. They prayed for her. When they examined her again, the cancer had disappeared completely. It has been 10 years. There has been no recurrence. Because the husband has not believed. When we had the campaigns in Douala, I told him, remember your promise. He told the wife, he is not ready. But this same sister, she brought a child. He had HIV 1 and HIV 2. This child. He had HIV 1 and HIV 2. There are two viruses. He had HIV 1 and HIV 2. He had HIV 1 and HIV 2. She brought the child to the campaign. The child was tested. Both, both, both. It became HIV negative. HIV 1 and HIV 2. That sister's husband has not believed. Listen to me. Miracles do not compensate. In that campaign, I carried 7 crutches back to Douala. But none of those 7 people is in the church in Douala. We had a campaign in Makineni. A totally blind woman was healed. We started an assembly there. She kept going to her room. I don't want to call the name of her church. Her children told her, you no longer belong there. You belong where your eyes will open. She told the children, don't trouble me. In fact, by the day, I told those guys, Douala became the mission in that place. As a result of that campaign. Miracles confirm God's power, but they do not compel belief. In the church in Douala, there was a woman who was married for 12 years, no child. She came to a church. I'm going to attend the meeting. After 18 months, she had her baby in her hands. Then she told the other, I am going. If I stay here, I'm not being honest. I did not come for God. I came for a child. I have a child, I'm going. She left and never came back. When the Lord said at that time, I don't want anyone to come back dead to preach to your brothers. Listen, brothers. The Lord raised Lazarus from the dead. And then the Jews decided that they wanted to kill Lazarus. Because of Lazarus, people were going and believing in the Lord Jesus Christ. They wanted to kill a man who was raised in order to abolish the evidence. We thank God for His miracles. But faith is a gift of God. We have let God heal the sick as an act of His compassion. Because God is a God of compassion. When everything was finished, the prologue song popped. The Bible says, he came to himself. You see, a sinner is like himself. He is like drunk. He is insane. Sin is insanity. He came to himself. And he asked, How many servants in my father's house have enough to eat and to spare? And I am dead dying in it. He said, I will rise. I will go to my father. And I will say to my father, I have sinned against you. I have sinned against you. I am not worthy to be your son again. Take me as one of your servants. He had a proposal. He came to himself. And he said what he would do. There are some people who say they will repent. But they never repent. They will repent. But they never repent. They say I will change. But they never change. I will come to God. They never come. I will abandon my sins. But they never abandon their sins. I will go back to my wife. But they never go back to their wife. I will go back to my husband. But they never go. It is like a vehicle that shows that it indicates that it is turning right. But it never turns. Such vehicles cause accidents. You have been saying I will repent. I will repent. I will repent. You have been saying. But you have not repented. Our abandonment. Our abandonment. But you are still in it. I will start to see God. I will give to God. But you have not given to God. I will become a missionary. But the product I saw was not like that. I will rise. And I will go to my father. All this while. They have gone away from their father. It is a foul country. He hit rock bottom. And he repented. With 10 hands. It is a change of heart. Followed by a change of gist. A change of heart. A change of heart. Followed by a change of direction. So he turned. And he began to go to his father. He was going to his father. He was in disorder. But he was going to his father. He was thin with hunger. But he was going to his father. To his father. To his father. He was going to his father. To come back to the Lord. To come back to the Lord. Or to come to him for the first time. You don't need to wait till you are better. The human race says. If you wait till you are better. You will never come at all. All their sickness. All the sickness he requires. Is that you see a need of him. This he gives you. This he gives you. Taste the spirit rising flame. I will rise. I will go to my father. And he turned. And he began to go to his father. Just as he was. He did not wait to improve. If you wait to improve. You will never come at all. It is not possible. To improve while you are in the far country. You cannot improve away from the father. You can only became father. There is only one place of change. In the arms of Jesus. And so you need to go as you are. It looks scandalous. It looks frightful. But he was going to his father. All these years. While he was gone. His father was seeking and wanting him back. God has been waiting for his long lost child. God has been waiting for you. His long lost child. God has been waiting for you. His long lost child. From the day the prayer gasher went away. There was no rest in the father's hand. The father was constantly looking. I am constantly waiting, I am constantly waiting, I am constantly waiting, I am constantly waiting... The greatest sufferer for sin... is not the sinner but God. Sin is a knife in the God's hand. Sin is a knife in the God's hand. God is the greatest sufferer for all sin committed Some think about what their sin does to them Other think about what sin does to theirs Other think about what their sin causes to mine But sin is a disaster against God It's a knife into God's heart It's an attack on God's holiness It is war against God God suffers the most That's why the Prophet Adam said I have sinned against Heaven David said When he sinned It said God has sinned against you and you only Every sin is against God God is the sufferer He feels pain Prophecies are prostrated His kingdom is attacked By each act of sin So the Prophet Adam said I would say I have sinned against Heaven and I have sinned against you Sin is first of all against God Then it's against mine And lastly it's against yourself As it was going The father who had been looking for him Is the first person who saw him The father first saw him God is looking at you He is waiting When the father saw him He said, oh yeah That fellow is coming His money is finished That's why he is coming The father did not close the door There are some people Who cannot receive sinners work They don't know anything about the grace of God They are self righteous Like Jonas They have not been touched by the grace of God They are glad that others fell so that they may take their position They are glad that some people fell so that they may take their position But the father was not like that The father ran And the father embraced the returning political son And the father kissed him He was thinking But the father embraced him He was thinking But the father kissed him Oh that's the love of God The love of God Is so wonderful The love of God Is so wonderful The love of God Is so wonderful Oh wonderful love The love of God The love of God Is so wonderful The love of God Is so wonderful The love of God Is so wonderful Oh wonderful love Is so high That you can't get over it Is so deep That you can't get out of it Is so wide That you can't get out of it Oh wonderful love The father ran And embraced him If you take one step towards God God will take a million steps to meet you And the father Brought him He didn't say ok send him to a servant's quarters He has lost his position as a son In my mercy I will let him stay as a servant Let me tell you what I discovered 2 years ago If you are at this level And you fall And you are here And God restores you God does not restore you to the level from which you fell Unfortunately the church does not do that The unfortunate believers don't do that God restores with a promotion He never restores himself to a position He restores always with a promotion This fellow came He did not have shoes to play with They gave him shoes He didn't have the big garment They gave him the big garment You see the brother said that they are not even giving him a goat Nobody had a goat there But he came to the sacred ground May God cause tears to fall from my eyes God restores always with a promotion The father's cup The first time a father's cup was slaughtered there Was For the one who had fallen Who is now restored With big promotion Came back Shoes The garment The ring of authority And then Festivities The father said we have to celebrate Celebration Before that it was only work Now when he comes Celebration Give a clap to God He restores with a first level of promotion Then with a second level of promotion With a third level of promotion With a fourth level of promotion We have to rejoice And celebrate Rejoice, celebrate Rejoice, celebrate And rejoice and celebrate That's the good news That's the good news That's why every commanding On planet earth Must be brought together to this news All causes God restores and promotes We have to rejoice And celebrate At least six levels of promotion Father we thank you for this truth We worship you because when you were stolen You prayed Lord over us We pray that Lord also That he will come here and will come back to you And we know that Lord you have stolen that Lord You will pay nothing Lord Open your eyes to see how cruel you are You are a good Lord We praise you Lord Lord our God Lord our Lord If you call the word of Effulgence for the symphony not want to cry, they want to feel their own power. So much power. Then one dream will be over. Then one dream will be over. And the big part of the arms of the Father will be open. And the arms will be open. Thank you, Lord Jesus Christ, for this wonderful dream. For this wonderful dream, Mr. Johnson. In Jesus' name, Amen. Someone has to pray before. You cannot pray. The last person. Amen. That's right. Two more. Two more persons. Lord Jesus, we thank you, we salute you. Heavenly Father we say thank you for such love, for such love, for such love, for such love. We are amazed through God and through the Holy Spirit. of your great love, O God manifested in not just forgiving, restoring, and then promoting. We say you are good God, we say you are good God, we say you are good God. We pray that this night each one of us would embrace your goodness, O God, and each one lost would embrace the goodness of the good Father, extending his compassionate hand, O God, extending his hand of mercy. Lord, we pray that the Father would assist us in this transformation. We pray that we as believers would embrace the Father's love and embrace the Father's attitude, O God, the Father's attitude towards us, the Father's attitude towards the betrayed us. Jehovah, we pray that your God would embrace, embrace this love, the Father's love, that is being instilled to us this night. Thank you, Jesus. Amen. Father, we continue to bless and worship you, Lord God, because you caused the loss of those who were lost, but you also promote your kingdom of glory. Father, you are not a man, Lord God, to remember, O God, the past. Father, you forgive and you restore and you promote. Father, we bless you for your loving kindness, O God. We bless you for your merciful heart. We bless you for you are so good, Father. Father, we bless and adore you in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. They don't know how to celebrate. In her book, Cathy, The Story of Ruth. It's a study of the book of Ruth. It talks about two female missionaries who went to one country. They worked very hard. They were very faithful. But they were very sad. They worked so hard. They were so faithful. They were so true. The villagers held them in high honor. One day they went and asked them, Is your God the God of misery? They began to celebrate. Don't be miserable for God. When the unbelievers say that all the good life will be in hell, it's because they see believers. While rejoicing, people, let a song of praise on our hearts. Jesus on the throne. And the devil is defeated. Jesus on the throne. And on the throne all the time. And on the throne all the time. And the devil is permanently defeated. Don't be miserable for God. Rejoice with the Lord. If you are lost like the Prodigal Son was, you have never come to Christ. The blood that was shed has never washed you clean. The blood that was shed has never changed you. Holy from inside. Because eternal life is the breaking in of God into a person's life and changing everything. It's not just a condition. It's an encounter with God. An encounter with the life of God. It will be a partition of the Vengeance. So that you now share the Vengeance with God. You become an heir of God. A co-heir with Christ. And you live in the world as a king. Reigning with him. It's what you just said. You can never say it. And you go away happily. And the one who slapped you goes away miserably. There's two real things. You come out and bless the thief. Some people only curse thieves. They don't know grace. A thief should be blessed. A thief should be blessed. So he should soon find Jesus. Not that he should find Jesus and return the things to God. He should find Jesus. And worship Jesus. If you have never known the Revelation of Jesus. You have never been born again. The love of God has never been imparted to you. And today. You want to come to the Lord Jesus Christ. You want to pass from death unto life in Christ Jesus. Or you once knew Christ. And the devil took you. And said let us visit the killer of darkness. And you went there. He told you God is not giving you anything fast. I will give them to you quickly. And when you went. He bound you. And tortured you. Because the devil is a torturer. He blesses you with torture. I have seen unbelievers suffer. Everyone believes they are suffering persons. One of them told me. Cezar. It is terrible. To have so much money. You do not know how to spend it. He told me I have bought everything I could buy for myself. I have bought everything I could buy for any relative of mine. I have bought everything I could buy for all my acquaintances. But the money is there. And more and more abundant. An American told me that. He came to Yaoundé. And the American ambassador. Invited me to eat with this man. More sick than the poorest man. The poor is poor because he has no money. This man is poor because he has too much money. Whatever your condition. Maybe he wants belief. The devil seduced you. And you went away from the Father. And today. You want to come back to your Father. To the Father's love. To the Father's mercies. To the Father's blessings. To the Father's promotions. Please. Who wants to give his life to others. Just like I said the first time today. You want to be converted today. Put up your hand. You want to be converted today. You may have asked to be a Christian. But you have never met the revolutionary Jesus. Who makes all things new. And you want to be born again tonight. Put up your hand. If you want to give your heart to the Lord Jesus Christ tonight. Put up your hand. Put up your hand. If you carry till you are better. You will never come at all. Don't wait to be better. Who wants to believe the Lord Jesus Christ today. Stand up. If you once believed. And you went. The devil seduced you and took you back to his camp. You want to come back to your Father. And abandon all your sins forever. Please come. And any other person. Put that here. Sit down. Is there someone else? Who else? For the last time we give you an opportunity. To come to Christ either for the first time or in restoration. Is there another person? Is there another person? Is there someone else? Who can sing? Our new party. It is the kingdom of God. Who can sing this song? Our new party. It is the kingdom of God. Can you sit down there and be seated? No one can stay here and sing. You have to come forward. You have to come forward. I will sing with all my life. I don't know anybody who has never backslidden. You may have backslidden for one minute. Or for ten minutes. Or for one hour. When you backslid. Who is a backslider? A backslider is a person who spends less time with Jesus than he did in the past. A backslider is spending less time with Jesus now than he did in the past. A backslider is a person who hungers less for Jesus now than he hungered in the past. A backslider is a person who is giving less to Jesus Christ now than he did in the past. A backslider is a person who is investing less time in Jesus now than he did in the past. A backslider is a person who has burnt less for Jesus now than he did in the past. A backslider is a person who offers him more now than he did in the past. A backslider is a person who offers him more now than he did in the past. Before we finish. It is a past. This world will pass away. Only Jesus doesn't pass away. Because there are some people running after the soap bubble that this world is. When you catch the soap bubble, then there is nothing left. Maybe you should be here if you were more honest. Put up your hand if you know you should be here. You have abandoned your first love. You are now pulling Jesus out of duty. You even wish you are not believed so that you should commit some sins. You even wish you are not believed so early. Who else wants to take his chair and come here? There are three people who should come. Take your chair and come. There are two more. God has been waiting for you. He is a long lost child. If you know you should stand and come, you know how to be true. Stand and come. God knows you are backsliding. God knows you are backsliding. You need to take a public stand. As one coming back to the Lord. So that the lies of the devil may be exposed. Take your chair and come. Take your chair and come. I ask for the last time. You know in your heart that you are backsliding. You also know that it is your hour to go back to the Lord Jesus. Are you coming? Are you coming? Put up your hand. For those who have come. There are no formalities. Just Ben and Brian. I am a 20 year old. For me to come back. And put the things you went back to from your heart. Put them out of your heart. When you finish, put up your hand so that I will know. You can put down your hand. Yes. Yes. I finish. Pray after us. Lord Jesus. I thank you very much. For your love that is so great. For its depth, breadth and height. For its depth, breadth and height. I thank you for the privilege of coming back to your love. I turn from my backsliding. I turn from my backsliding forever. I abandon my sin forever. And I abandon my sinful ways forever. Wash me in your blood. And make me spotless. Wash me in your blood. Thank you Lord that you have washed me. And I am now without spots. Lord Jesus. Take the throne of my heart. And sit on that throne. As the rule of my life. As the king of my life. I love you Lord. I depend on you. To keep me loving you. Until you come again. Oh Lord. Show your Holy Spirit upon me. So that the Holy Spirit be the power of my life. So that I will walk with you. In the power of the Holy Spirit. So that I hate all sin. In the power of the Holy Spirit. So that I walk in righteousness. In the power of the Holy Spirit. So that I serve you. With all my might. In the power of the Holy Spirit. And when my life on earth is ended. You will take me to yourself. And usher me into heaven. And I will sit on the throne with you forever. I love you. Oh Jesus. And I will serve you. From now on. And I will bring others to know you. Amen. Clap. Now we want to minister to six. Go back to us. Clap as you are going. Who here has been healed? Who here has been healed? In the past. I want to give a testimony in one minute. I was in Tanzania ministering in Trinidad. On the 4th of February of this year. I was with six other pastors. We were dealing with the foundations of the nation. We've been dealing with various issues in the nation. We dealt with the deepest lake, Lake Tanganyika. We dealt with some spiritual issues over the highest mountain in Africa, Kilimanjaro. As we were leaving Kilimanjaro my head began to go round. I began to feel sick. And I collapsed. I died. I died. I died. I died again. In the same three hours. The pastors were praying. The pastors were praying. They tried to find my husband. But the other day the doctors walked out of the room. The doctors. The doctors locked us in. She's dead. We can't do anything now. She's dead. My God. My God. My God. My God. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. One hour five minutes. One hour five minutes. Pray. Pray. Pray. I've been pleading. I've been pleading. I'm out. I'm out. I will quit the group. Hallelujah. We have hope Lord. I stopped joining. I stopped joining. I'm going to be. Dead. Dead. Christ died. I can't say. The grave couldn't keep Christ. And because he paid the price. I didn't just die once. I died twice. in a space of one hour and five minutes is enough because the power of the resurrection heals the power of the blood heals the power of this life heals the power of compassion heals the power of mercy heals it wasn't my time I'm going back next week I take a plane and I'm running and I'm not paying I don't have a dream I'm alive I'm in a hospital in a hospital in a hospital this woman this woman save this woman this woman died 2007 not twice twice but she's alive and I'm going back on Monday morning to three months in Africa to crush the serpent because he tried to take my life okay pictures upstairs and I have the picture in my room because the doctor said that I was about to be returned to the United States in a coffin but you see a dead woman and you who are here I got this job for miracles I don't want to confirm what but if I say just say I've got about a brother sister my sister so she has made an awesome testimony in our family my sister was the first woman to get converted in my family we used to find her very bizarre we couldn't understand her but our God is mighty and alive some years later it was I that got converted so I started understanding my sister's language but her healing has been for us an awesome testimony it's been over 15 years since I gave my life to Christ in 2006 we took a missionary trip to Africa for three weeks in a Nigerian village it was extraordinary upon coming back to Montreal I was walking on the street and I was in good health back in Africa my nose and my mouth started bleeding blood was coming out of them I couldn't understand what was going on the ambulance took me to the hospital I was conscious for the first few hours I was able to explain to the fire medics what was going on but a few hours later I didn't even know where I was the Lord is mighty he is mighty he resurrects still I had an aneurysm a stroke it was very severe for one week the church that I'm part of here in Montreal everyone got on their knees in prayer and fasting the Lord appeared to me as I was regaining consciousness and told me that I was to continue my mission but my time had not yet come I could not write at that time but my daughter was nice to me so I was dictating her and she was writing down and one week later and a week later I was miraculously healed because the doctors did not know what kind of medications to give me so I was healed and the doctors were surprised and told me they have never seen such a thing I got out of the hospital as someone who had never been sick and they had called my family back in Cameroon to tell them that I was dead and that they were to expect a coffin and I'm still here today and I'm going to be free I'm going to be free just as my sister will go to the ends of the earth for our God is a mighty God He is a true God He alone is God His temple is under our feet I will go on with the Lord's work till the Lord returns Amen Praise the Lord We are not just dealing with the compassion of the Lord It's compassion plus I'll just read three verses for you Isaiah 53 But He was pierced for our transgressions He was crushed for our iniquities The punishment that brought us peace was upon Him And by His wounds we are healed Healing is in the atonement Healing is in the atonement In Matthew chapter 8 When the evening came men who were demon possessed were brought to Him and He drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick Those who were possessed by demons were brought to Him and He drove out the demons and healed all the sick Verse 17 To fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah He took up our infirmities and carried our diseases When this body is full of pain and my heart is filled with sorrow Thou hold me lest my diseases stand by me Stand by me Stand by me Loving Jesus Stand by me I have no strength no power of my own Loving Jesus Stand by me Thou hold me lest my diseases stand by me When this body is full of pain and my heart is full of sorrow Thou hold me lest my diseases stand by me I want you, anyone who is sick tell them also to stand by you Stand by me Stand by me Loving Jesus Stand by me I have no strength no power of my own Loving Jesus Stand by me When this body is full of pain and my heart is filled with sorrow Thou hold me lest my diseases stand by me He took our infirmities and He carried our diseases He took our infirmities and carried our diseases He took our infirmities and carried our diseases Let's look at the testimony of Peter As we are saying Peter denied the Lord As we are saying when Jesus is taught Him to We are just making one of the rest Say you are just one of the general disciples Jesus was taught Him and confirmed His leadership Jesus restored and confirmed his leadership by a very special appearance to him to confirm his leadership In 1 Peter 2 verse 24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree so that when I die to sin and live for righteousness by his wounds you have been healed You have been healed He did it and tried to eat now because he did it by his wounds you have been healed In fact you have been healed I want you to take your right hand and place it where there is pain if the pain is in two places place your right hand in one place and put your left hand in the other place if you are sick in three places put your hands on your head It is the perfect will of God that you be healed here and now It is God's perfect will that you be healed here and now God does not bless his children with disease This is the work of the enemy and the Son of God appeared that he might destroy all the works of the enemy The Lord Jesus Christ has appeared to destroy the works of the devil in you Your disease is the work of the devil I want you to command that disease by name Call it by name, say disease If you don't know your name, say whatever your name is Say disease Say it aloud, disease I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to depart from my body Disease I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to depart from my body Disease The Son of God appeared to destroy all the works of the devil and you disease are one of those works of the devil and the Son of God appeared to destroy you particularly You disease Jesus Christ appeared to destroy you and here and now at the power of the Holy Spirit Jesus Christ destroys you You disease at the power of the Holy Spirit The Lord Jesus Christ destroys you now You disease at the power of the Lord Jesus Christ The Holy Spirit destroys you here and now The Holy Spirit destroys you here and now Oh Lord Jesus Christ You said in your word that those who believe in you shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover Oh Lord I am one of those who believe in you and I am laying my hands on the sick person and I ask you Lord Jesus Christ place your own hand on top of my own hand so that there may be a double portion Place your own hand on top of my own hand so that there may be a double portion and you shall never suffer Jesus I command you symptoms of disease to disappear because the disease has been destroyed by the power of the Holy Spirit Symptoms Disappear I command you symptoms in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to disappear Thank you Lord that you have healed me and I am healed Thank you Lord that you have healed me and I am healed Thank you Lord Jesus that you have healed me and I am healed I give all the praise to you Lamb of God I give all the praise to you Lamb of God My sin bearer My disease bearer Give Jesus a clap I want you to minister to Pastor Mark Co-Pastor with Pastor Fondant He had Tell us what he suffered He suffered from the cancer of the lungs and also cancer of the colon The doctors have given him a rebuke The last time he went to before coming here he went to general school and they did an x-ray they are surprised that he is still alive and according to medical he should be dead at least 2 years He has lost a lot of weight but he is still alive and we are counting on God to heal him and we are counting on God to heal him and we believe that God has healed him Could some leaders come here so that he stands for his Co-Pastor and his body here brings God down for the pastors here Listen servants of God are rare and there is a shortage of workers The devil should not be allowed to snatch one Send your hand and join us and say Pastor Mark Walias Pastor Mark Walias We command you in the name of the Lord Jesus to be healed Now God wants your life The church in Westminster wants your life and the church here gathered wants your life and we command you to be healed Cancer of the lungs and cancer of the colon We command you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to be healed to restore the lungs and restore the colon to full shape and full size and full function in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and we declare Pastor Mark healed from head to toe from left to right from back to front from inside to outside Pastor Mark healed and many years of effective service Satan you are defeated Jesus Christ dethroned Amen We are going to cut our demons Because many diseases are due to demons There are some things in people's lives that are due to demons but they say that's my habit Those are the lies by which the demons That's how the demons play there Put your hands on your head Said the Lord Jesus Christ came to deliver me 100% from demons That was what he came for and what he came for shall be established in my life In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ Abandon every demon operating in my life and run the other side abandon every demon operating in my life demons I band you and abandon and abandon and I cast you off In the name of Jesus Christ, I cast out demons, I bind you and I cast you out and I re-enter you and I cast you out and I come in and I come out. In the name of Jesus Christ, I close every door that was open for you to come in. Now that you have been cast out, in the name of Jesus Christ, I close all the doors. So that you may never be back. And you shall never come back. O Spirit of God, fill me to the brim, so that there be no more room, whatsoever, for any evil spirit. But it is not only demons. There are curses. I will say one or two before we bring the curses. I will say one or two before we bring the curses. If you understand basic mathematics, that is progress. That is progress. And that is time. If you are functioning normally, you will progress with time. If you are functioning under a curse, your progress is reduced your progress is reduced so that you may not go like this. So that maybe after 50 years, So that maybe after 50 years, you are at 40, you are at 40, you do not like to progress. But for the curse, But for the curse, you will be at 75. The curse may be more drastic, so that you are at 20. It could be more drastic, so that you are at 1. It could be more drastic, so that you go on the negative. These are all manifestations of the curse to different degrees. These are all manifestations of the curse to different degrees. So somebody who is here, So somebody who is here, he says, I am doing well. But without the curse, he is here. But without the curse, he is here. So when you have 40% or 25%. So when you have 40% or 25%. Your loss is great. But you can still be the first. With 40%. So you think that you are a star. You are not a star. But it does not mean that you do not enter into what should be yours. If I sit there, just on two barriers, small barriers, big barriers. Curses run through families. The curse may come upon you from your father's side or from your mother's side. Or the curse may be brought by yourself. But you are not functioning as you should function. You have great abilities, but the performance is below the level. You are a pastor with 500 people and you say you are a star. Whereas you ought to have 5,000. So you look like successful. But it is nothing compared to what you ought to have been. But it is nothing compared to what you ought to have been. Imagine you earn 50,000 dollars. You consider yourself exceptionally successful. Whereas what God meant was that you should earn 500,000 dollars. You are just below your ability. Below your opportunities. The curse is functioning. Then curses go from father to son, son, father to mother, father to daughter and so forth. And they keep going on, they keep on going one generation until something stops it. You can be a very pretty girl. People pass you by and marry ugly girls. Your character is wonderful. They just leave you and go and marry some cantagrous characters. You have great qualifications. But you don't find jobs. Well you have two girls. You could choose from two girls. One who would make you feel like a king, the other one that would make you feel like a slave. If you are a curse, you choose the one who would make you feel like a slave. Two boys are interested in you. If you are a curse girl, you choose the boy who will abandon you. And reject the one who would have been faithful to the end. You are just making the wrong choices. That's a curse. If a disease pass by, you are the person who has it. If there is an accident, you are the one who has it. If they are sending people from jobs, you are always among those who are sent away. Teachers see you and just hate you. You do your work, they hang your thesis, they lose it. Things are just not working. The curse is functioning. You see God, but you can't find God. It's as if God acquires wings and flies away from you. You can't hate sin. It's as if something is drawing you so attracted towards sin so that it might smash you. A curse or curses operating. You are being led by fools who know less than you. The good news is that, when Jesus Christ died on the cross, he became a curse. Because the Bible says, what is he who hangs on a tree? In hanging on a tree, he became a curse. And therefore broke our own curses. So in the name of Jesus Christ, we break the power of our own curses. Curses also flow in the family. I was in Uganda and Bali. There were five deaf and dumb from one family, from one womb. All very handsome people and beautiful. But all of them deaf and dumb. It's a curse. Sometimes curses come forth as... One of the missions. In his family, nobody gets to 45. You die before 45. Eleven of us had to gather to break that curse. Eleven of us. Because at 44, he was looking very old. He was getting paralyzed on this side. He could not lift up this hand. His curse came because his father signed a pact with a serpent. His curse came because his father signed a pact with a serpent. This missionary actually spoke with a serpent for six hours. Except for Eve, the only person I know who spoke with a serpent. A snake? Yes, the snake would go and talk to him for six hours. That's before he believed. But that day, God broke the curse and liberated him. He became younger. The disease disappeared. And his mission failed. Most parents unfortunately curse their children. The father says, What you are doing to me, your own children will do to you. A mighty curse has been released. Children exaggerate the sins of their parents. David, instead of having one wife, had about 19 wives and concubines. His son Solomon, still having one, had a thousand. He exaggerated the womanizing of his father. When Abner came to give the kingdom to David, David said, no, no, no. First go and bring my wife. He said, forget about this kingdom. Go and bring my wife. His son Solomon, when Bathsheba came to ask for Abisham, for Adonijah. He said, why don't you ask the kingdom for him? So a woman in the kingdom will want to... Just like his father. Abraham went to Egypt and said that his wife was his sister. The only sin Isaac committed was to admit and say that his wife was his sister. David committed adultery secretly. Abner, the crown prince, committed incest with Tamar. Absalom, his son, committed straight adultery with the ten concubines of his father. He made it on top of the palace so that all of Israel would say, yeah, he's doing it, he did it. The father did in hiding. Children exaggerate the sins of their parents. There's no time to talk some more about that. In fact, it's a temporary week for us to deal with it and deal with the brink of crisis. Most people are under the yoke of a curse but they don't know it. Most people are under the yoke of a curse but they don't know it. Before we pray, I want just to say that there's also the ministry of blessing which people don't carry out. Blessing means that if you are working and you are talented and everything blessing means that you should go like this. Blessing means that you can go like this. So that what you ought to do in 15 years you do in 15 years or in 20 years what you are putting ought to give you a check of 54 but you have 5,000. Your ability and the rest ought to make you have 500,000 dollars. But you have 5 million or more. Whatever you touch explodes positively. What you touch explodes positively. They are coming instead of being as them you pass them, the next person is crushed. You turn left, terrible. You turn right, terrible. A train is going to crash. You cancel your reservation and the cursed person takes your place and dies. Blessing for curses. Blessing for curses. There is the ministry of blessing. I have started writing a book on it. Unfortunately people prefer to curse. Blessings seem to come with difficulty, curses go very fast. I want you to take that stand in the name of Jesus Christ and break every curse operating in your life. You know some of them. Others you don't know. You break what you know and command that what you don't know be broken in the name of Jesus Christ. You could be more successful. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I break every curse operating in my life. All curses that come to me through my mother's background. And all curses that come to me through my father. I destroy all generation curses operating upon me. And I break all curses that I brought upon myself. I break all curses that I brought upon myself. And I bring all the impacts of all curses to naught. And I set myself free in the name of Jesus Christ. From all curses, from all curses, from all curses. I confess that I became a curse. And thereby nullify all my curses. In the name of Jesus Christ. In the name of Jesus Christ. Finally put your hands to your heads. And say, Lord bless me with the best virtually, on ceiling hunger for you. On ceiling depsides for you. On ceiling heights for you. On capacity to know you. On your capacity to seek you and to find you. In the name of Jesus Christ. I bless myself with the power to love Jesus Christ wholeheartedly. The power to serve Jesus Christ with all my might. The power to bless others. In the name of Jesus Christ. I bless myself with spiritual abundance. I bless myself with material abundance so that I will be able to provide for every good work. In the name of Jesus Christ. I bless myself from head to toe. From left to right. From back to front. In the name of Jesus Christ. I bless my children. I bless our children. And I bless our children super abundantly. I give to our children the best of God. The best of God. The best of God. The best of God. I bless the people I lead with the best of God. The best of God. The best of God. The best of God. Amen. You've got a clap of him. We have prayed and asked God to heal us. He has heard us. Don't come again and say pray for me. Because we've been nullifying what we've done now. We have spoken to God of heaven. He is not deaf. Who has gotten his healing manifest? Yes, Pastor Robinson. Who has already entered his healing? It's already in use. Stand up and just announce what you have been healed of. So that we may close the convention with thanksgiving. No, this night. We close this night. When do we stop tomorrow? We start at 6. I've been healed. Come on. Give God the glory. Praise the Lord. Amen. I had a strange pain around my chest area. I've been struggling with it for some time. And I didn't know exactly what was really wrong. I put my hand there and I felt it. And the pain was really severe before we prayed. And I felt it break. And as I stretched myself closer to the fact that I was healed, the pain disappeared. Praise the Lord. I'd like to tell you that when I was coming to Montreal, I was very, very sick. They tried everything to prevent me from coming. I was supposed to arrive one day before the Fransac arrival. Two days before my departure from Vancouver, the last three nights I couldn't sleep. I was urinating every 30 minutes. I had vertigo. I was eating in season and out of season. And I was almost feeling hungry. At night, my wife told me, this time you woke up maybe 15 to 25 times. It was difficult. But I didn't want to let my wife be worried. It was difficult. I talked to her family. I told them, brother, it's difficult. I'm sick. Since the last night was very difficult, I called my wife and I told her, it's true that we have pain, but I think that before going to Montreal, I should know at least of what I'm suffering. And with pain, we went to the hospital. They diagnosed. Five hours after the treatment told me, I was told I had diabetes. And they asked me, how are you living these last few days? Because the normal level is 3.6. It's the limit. I was at 24.3. And the doctors asked me, how are you living? How were you doing this? I missed the flight because I was in a hospital. The same day, I went to the airport with my ticket that was late and that was canceled. And the night before, I called them saying that I was traveling the next day. The agency told me, if you would like to travel, on top of the $513 that you paid for your plane ticket, you will pay $400 to go, $400 to come back, plus tax. So it's over $1,000. So when I left the agency, I told myself, I will not get angry. I will not stand against the Lord. I just went home. I told them nothing at the agency. They asked me, just keep the money. I told them, just keep the money. Amen. I talked once again with Brother Calvin over the phone. I gave him the whole story. I will go with this canceled ticket to the airport tomorrow, and I will tell them either I traveled or nothing. My wife knew that my ticket was canceled and my plans to go there had been canceled, so we just praised the Lord. Once she came home, I told her, tomorrow we get up early at 6 a.m., we head to the airport. And upon arriving to the airport the next day, half an hour before the flight, I told them, here's my ticket, I'm going to Montreal. They told me, what? You have no reservations. I told them, that's my ticket. I told them, I bought a ticket two months ago, I'm heading to Montreal. They told me, what? You canceled the ticket yesterday. I told them, yeah, that's true, but I'm going to Montreal nevertheless. So she started calling and calling. She started making a lot, lots of phone calls, because I wasn't angry, I was very calm and serious. She really knew I was struggling. I didn't yell at her. I didn't shout. I wasn't worried. I wasn't troubling her. Hallelujah. So she comes back and she tells me, you just paid $400, and all of that's gone. Hallelujah. Since I got here, I have gone to urinate only when we've gone to go eat. For those who were observing, you could see that sometimes I was a bit dizzy. For the first time in two weeks, I was able to come and dance here before the Lord. I know, and I confess, and I believe that my diabetes is gone. So I will call my wife to give her the good news. I will give the good news to the children. In the name of the Lord, be praised. Is there anyone else who wants to speak one minute? Yes. Praise the Lord. I'm a very seriously sick person. I've had hypertension that has bothered me for years. And I come from very far, from the Ivory Coast. And I came to the United States. And I heard about the convention with the pastor here. So I told my daughter, I would like to go to this convention. And I arrived here. For the first day of the convention, because of my hypertension, I had to kind of leave and go to my room. And I asked the Lord, yesterday, I came to your convention. I know that you are alive. And I know that you will heal me. And today, since we started the meeting here, I've been sitting down every night and I have some headaches. But I told myself, I am not getting up. I am not leaving. You might have noticed that I get up often to go to urinate. Because I have to take lots of medication for hypertension. And today when the pastor said to lay your hands on your head to pray for the disease, I was in fact just returning from the urinal. And as I was stepping in, I just heard the word, put your hands on your head and pray for the disease, whatever disease you have. So I told the Lord, Lord I give you all these diseases, in particular this hypertension that troubles me. And I began to pray with all my heart and all my soul. And I feel as light as a leaf. I have no idea how to go after tomorrow morning. And I give thanks to the Lord. May the Lord be blessed forever. May He forever make me praise Him. Glory be to the Lord. I thank that I am here. And that I have protection of Jesus Christ forever. And that the Lord has restored me. Glory be to the Lord. Amen. I have the pain on my hip, on my right hip. And it hurts for some time. And when I sit for long, it increases. But I want to thank God that I have been healed. It has disappeared. Praise the Lord. Amen. There are many times, when I come to church, people prefer to warm their seats. But they don't want to give glory to God. Yesterday, when I came to the meeting and Brother asked us to lay down all of our burdens, I had pain all over me, on my head, all over my body. It was really as if I was carrying a burden. And I wrote down all of my burdens. And I really left it to the Lord. I laid them all down. And as I did that, I just felt light. And I told my sister, Odeh, that I feel so light now. I could go on for the rest of the day. I don't feel pain. I don't feel tired. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Here is what's going to happen. Tomorrow morning seven to seven fifty will be breakfast. At 8 p.m. sharp, we'll start. It's a four-hour session, because it's the last one. So it's their first month of healing and deliverance, and they're leaving. I'll stay with you to be here, and it's like several people will be leaving right after. At noon, we'll all go to eat, and that'll be the official end of the convention. If there's anything else to be done, that is for specific people who are feeling individual anxiety, special anxiety. We'll pray to close. I would like to thank you, please, unless you have a particular appointment with Frederick, then please don't come in. So, my wife and I were supposed to talk with him and see if there's anything else we could have improved, anything we could have done different, and we would really want to have that time. So, if he's not retired, we'll try to have him for about half an hour. And we'll stay with you to give you that opportunity, because he leaves tomorrow. For the good of us all, for the continuity, we'll pray to close. Our Father, we thank you, because you are in heaven, and you are lifted up, lifted up, lifted high. Yet from heaven, you look down upon us, and you stretch out your hand to draw sinners unto yourself, to cure the sick, to deliver the possessed, and to teach the believers. Thank you for this day. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. In Jesus' name. We pray that you bless us. And that you protect what we've done. And that you protect the work that we've done. And that you protect what we've done in the salt and the spirit. And that I want you to have establishment and unity. And so, what you're about to hear, what you're about to hear, from the salt and the spirit, forever, will be an establishment and permanent unity. And here at the convention in Montreal, that those people have been saved and added. And we will see them sitting down as brothers, sitting down with us. And we pray that this backslider will have indeed been truly repented. And that those who have been healed have indeed been healed. And we pray for those who have not yet seen the signs of their healings, to see them tonight, to see them tomorrow morning, as time goes on. And because you are the Lord who heals instantaneously, and the Lord who heals progressively, we submit them to your hands, Lord. And we pray that you come with us tomorrow, to close in power, and to glorify you, and to glorify the name of your only servant, Jesus Christ. We bless you, Lord. Protect those who are going back to their homes. Protect those who are staying here. And give us an additional blessing tomorrow. New deliverances, in a permanent way. In Jesus' name. Amen.
