Brother Ren, you want to come up here and we can pray for you. Another brother or two, a couple brothers want to come up here and pray. We thank you Lord God for this evening, Lord for each person here and thank you for Ren and for Brother Yun and their safe travels here and we pray for your blessing God to continue to flow in this place. Pray your blessing on Brother Ren. You fill him with your joy and release life that's within him, out of him Lord. God wash us with your word tonight and cleanse us and give our Brother Ren and Yun strength, in Jesus name. Father, we pray for the Spirit of the Lord to have free course here tonight, that there be no hindrance. Every, like the psalm says, your love unknown has broken every barrier down. Father, that's what we ask in Jesus name. We ask that you fill our brother with your Holy Spirit afresh and anew. You would quicken him, quicken his words, make them very alive and flow like a river from his innermost being and it would flow out to this audience, to each of our hearts and would give us what we need. It would speak to us, it would change us into the image of Jesus. Hallelujah, in Jesus name. Thank you Lord Jesus. Thank you Lord for my brother. I pray Lord God you would open up the windows of heaven and pour out your glory upon us Father. Open up our hearts that we would not be hindered, that we would not hold a wall against you. Come into and speak to us. I ask you Father to open up our eyes that we can see you. Open up our thoughts that we can receive you. I thank you Lord, we need you in Jesus name. Amen. We greet you all in the name of Jesus. What a treat. I'm so packed with Holy Spirit I don't know what I'm supposed to do here tonight. I think the best thing I can do is try to give it over to you to carry. It has been a real joy for us to be here among our brothers and sisters as we were singing yesterday. We are all one family in Jesus Christ. How many of you were with us last night? Can you raise up your hand? Oh we have quite a many who were newcomers tonight. So we have to kind of think a little bit what we are doing here. So the others will have a second serving and the most of you still have the first serving tonight. Now tonight I am going to lay a little bit foundation so that you may understand that Jesus is alive. I believe that is a very good thing to know. I think it will help you and I quite a lot if we every moment of our lives we truly know that my Jesus is alive. Hallelujah. And I know that you love Jesus. I don't need to increase that in any way. I just point out certain things that are so important as we all have desired it. We want to follow Jesus because he first loved us so much. Now yesterday we were sharing a little bit what God has been doing in China. And I'm going to move on a little bit but before that just to tell everybody else who was not here yesterday that it's quite interesting that China which is the largest atheist communist nation on this earth has now become a display of the power of name of Jesus. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And it's quite amazing that China has become a place where the glory of God is available for everyone to see and receive if they believe. Now it's still up to the people whether they not want to believe or they do not believe. It is their decision but the glory and the presence of God is upon nation of China. And it has to do with the fact that one out of four people living in this world today are Chinese. The global Chinese population is over two billion people. And as I was sharing yesterday when we get to walk on those golden streets in heaven as we were singing we will surprise at least one out of five four people in heaven will look exactly like brother so you're going to be totally confused which one is the real brother in because they all look alike or sister darling. And the church in China they know that the heaven is a reflection of everything what is on the earth or reverse the world can become a reflection about everything that is in heaven. So the church in China they have really gone wild and they have decided there are so many nations where Christians are so lazy that they don't live a life of a disciple they don't share the gospel let's bring more than our share of Chinese into heaven. So and then on top of everything because of this reason in China we believe that the heavenly language is Chinese. It makes sense. Now I'm very lucky tonight so when you go to your language studies in heaven I can take 1,000 years break and I can still understand what you say. As I told yesterday I do not speak English as you recognize I only imitate people who speak English. I was born in Finland so I'm all Finnish. I almost heard Jesus shouting on the cross it is Finnish. I don't know what he meant or actually I do know. So if you understand us tonight it is already a miracle. If you even understand one word I believe that that word can change your life. And so God has been preparing a scenario on this earth for his purposes. First of all God has decided that every Chinese who live in China today they have to hear that there is a Savior who is a tailor-made Savior for every Chinese. Amen? And this goes from one country to another country from one people groups to another people group. And the most amazing thing is that when I speak to Jesus he answers to me in Finnish. That's amazing. Occasionally when the pressure of Chinese culture and the Chinese language come upon you I may even dream in Chinese. Some people say that when you start to dream in the language that you've been learning then you really got it. I don't know. And every Chinese they now understand that God so loved Chinese that he prepared his son to become a Savior of every Chinese. And they are receiving Jesus in big numbers. As I mentioned yesterday every month more than 1 million people receive Jesus Christ as their Savior Lord. And where do they come from? They do not come from a religious institution. They do not come out from anything else except from the darkest darkness of atheism and communism. That is where they come from. And how is it possible that million people every month they decide, I have decided to follow Jesus? Why is this happening? What is there in Jesus that attracts 1 million Chinese every month to leave behind Mao Tse Tung, to leave behind Marx, to leave behind everything and just embrace the grace of God in Jesus Christ? Why is this? It is because God has put something in Jesus that every person is lacking on this earth. Jesus is the answer of everyone's problems. Amen. There is no other answer than Jesus Christ. And this is what we have received when we say yes Jesus. My good friend he said, when I was saved I was working in partnership with God for my salvation. I was resisting and God was drawing me. And in many cases that happened to you and I. We did not really understand how wide, how high, how deep is the love of God in Jesus Christ. And Bible actually tells us, God was in Christ and reconciled the world with himself. How is it possible that God, the Father, He actually was on the cross dying for your sins and my sins? It's a mystery. And don't come after the meeting and ask me, can you explain that? I cannot. But my Bible says, God was, Father was in Christ when all this happened. So we are double saved. Praise God. Amazing grace that took hold of our lives. And when Chinese received this, they have no package of any religion. This is the good thing that Mao did when he destroyed all the Christian traditions in China. They just were destroyed completely. So totally, but still 1978, they were not even one building in China with cross on the roof or on the wall inside. And people are worshiping God inside. Not even what, more than 600 million people, but not even one church. All the pastors were gone. Elders were gone. All the missionaries were gone. There was no Christian institution, no church visible anywhere in China anymore. But that was God's plan for China, because God wanted to build up the Chinese church of Jesus Christ. Not a Western church in China, a Chinese church of Jesus Christ. So everything have to go. Everything have to be zeroed so that God can start to build a spiritual house of Jesus Christ. That every Chinese will think, I want to be part of that wonderful building. I want to be a living stone in that building. And that became the attraction. That's why missionaries have to go. That's why the pastors have to be removed who has been affected by values and teachings of the Western missionaries. And there was so much division at the church in China. As I told yesterday, more than 360 different kind of Jesuses were introduced in China. Everybody had their own revelation, how does Jesus look like and what it means to be a follower of Jesus. And it was really difficult for the Chinese to see who is the right Jesus. And if you want to take hold and control over the largest nation on this earth, it's very important that you do it right. And that's why God started to do everything anew in China. The work of the missionaries was very good. They demonstrated the love of Jesus. They care for poor and they care for sick. And they build up a lot of good things in China. But that was their time of sowing the seed into the Chinese soil. And then Mao came and destroyed all their life work. Mission invest for more than hundreds and hundreds of millions were destroyed and disappeared. All the visible structures of the church disappeared. What remained? Now we come with good news. The remaining was the actual church of Jesus Christ. The simple Chinese believers of Jesus Christ. And all together, everybody just had one identity. I am a follower of Jesus Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. Nobody was better. Nobody was worse. Everybody was alike. I used an example yesterday. Every brick had the same look and the same size and they fit perfectly together. There was no separation. And for tens of years, the brothers and sisters from different background, they all walked hand in hand because of this. Praise God. And it created a very fruitful soil for kingdom of God. Because as you now understand, that unity in the body of Christ is very crucial for the presence of kingdom among us. So that started to happen in China. They were not internally fighting about not so important matters, like how and when are you supposed to have a communion? And how and when you are supposed to baptize the people? How and what way you are supposed to pray for the people? And so on and so on. I'm not saying that that necessarily is wrong to spend time for that. But I just raise a question. What about if we would spend all the energy, all the time that we use for these things, instead of sharing good news about Jesus to those who ever never have heard the name of Jesus, which one would really benefit the kingdom of God more? Because Jesus, he did not say to his disciples, that all authority in heaven has been given to me, given to me, and all authority on earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make all the nations to my disciples. This is what he said. Now, let's think about this a little bit. How many of you believe that Jesus has all authority in heaven? It looks like almost 100%. Everybody believes that Jesus has all authority in heaven. Now, do you know why? The answer is very simple. None of us have been in heaven. So you don't have any reference, you just believe that. But if I would ask, does Jesus have all authority in your life? Does Jesus have all authority in the city where you live? Or in the county where you live? In the country where you live? We start to think, maybe not. But the Bible says, he has. And he sent us on that one mission only, to make all the nations to his disciples. Now, what do you think? Is it possible for a person who is not disciple himself, to make another person to a disciple? Does it work? Some of you are in opinion that it does not work. And my understanding is likewise. I don't think a person, a preacher, who is not a disciple of Jesus, is able to teach, is able to lead, and to guide anyone to become a disciple of Jesus Christ. Because the nature of a disciple is this. He is following somebody. He is like somebody. He is a disciple. Now Jesus is not walking on this earth anymore. But he has raised a generation of his disciples, and his disciples are calling the rest of the world, follow me as I am following Jesus. This is the biblical picture about to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. And to be a Christian leader today is very difficult, because many times I meet leaders who say, I am a leader. And when I look upon them, I discovered that they are taking a walkabout just alone. Nobody is following them. How can you be a leader and you have nobody who is following you? And then the worst thing that is created in the West, now the leaders said, oh, I am behind everybody. I don't believe that that will work, because it almost sounds and looks like that the general is so scared that I just keep these innocent soldiers before me. So when enemy hits, I have time to run away. But many church leaders say, oh, I want that the believers arise and I am just everybody's servant. That's very good. But you as a leader, you are also the one everybody's looking up to. Is there enough Jesus in you that others want to follow you? Amen. Do you follow my simple teaching? Because this is very crucial for success in kingdom of God. And I'm not going to give any easy ride. I'm going to squeeze you hard tonight. Because this may be my last meeting tomorrow morning, the brothers will send me back to China. It's very important to understand that the most important key is, am I a truly disciple of Jesus Christ? Now, what is the difference between a believer of Jesus and a disciple of Jesus? Now, how much does it cost to believe in Jesus? What is the different price? Here? No. According to my Bible, we are saved by God's grace. It's free of charge. It only takes you that moment of decision. I decide, I welcome Jesus into my life and He will save me. It's the blood of Jesus that will cleanse you. And that's good news for this world. Because it doesn't matter if you have $10 million on your bank account, or you have minus 10 million in debt, you still can receive the salvation in the name of Jesus. To believe in Jesus is free. And it has to be always free. If you have created a price tag on the salvation, erase it and put the display outside your building. We have a sale, salvation is now free. But what is that is so difficult? The difficult part starts when you and I decide. You come to an understanding, I'm saved by grace of God. Jesus has forgiven me all my past. And from now on, I want to follow Jesus. And when you do that decision, and when I did that decision, the war broke out. And if there's no war around you as a disciple, I don't think your surroundings understand that you are a follower of Jesus. They should be hot around you. That is a natural place for a disciple of Jesus. And I don't understand the western church, when they invest so much money into counseling at the church. So whatever things God allows to come on their path, the pastors are working hard. We have to get rid of this challenge in your life. Why? Jesus said, let's read it from the word. What did he say? And he said this to his disciples. He said to these people, who are now making decision, I will follow Jesus. And now, let's talk about the price. Matthew 16 and verse 24 and 25. Then Jesus said to his disciples, whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life, will lose it. But whoever loses their life for me, will find it. This is a mystery. Can you see what he said? He said, first of all, he didn't say that everybody who believes in me, he is following me. No. He said, if anyone wants to be my disciple, he must. And if something is must, it means that I can maybe negotiate a little bit easy terms for myself. No. You must do something. And the first thing you have to do, you have to deny yourself. And these words, if you go to the original words of the Bible and other passages when we talk about this, it actually means that you have to kill yourself. Just kill yourself. You have to die. Now, this is what Bible says, if this now would be the cross of Jesus. We have this wonderful Chinese sister praying for you. If this and Jesus was crucified on the cross, right? The whole world. And because of that, he calls the whole world, come to me and I will give you a new life. I will forgive you your sins and my blood will cleanse you from all unrighteousness, from all sins. And that invitation is free. Come to Jesus. I believe there almost 100% tonight, you have received Jesus. How many of you have received Jesus as your Lord? Raise up your both hands. And those who are still negotiating, you can raise your one hand. And I really want to tell you tonight, raise up your other hand and give up to Jesus. He will save you. But after that, can you think that majority of Christianity in the West today, they think this is enough. I believe in Jesus and I will come to heaven because of that decision. But you know, it's good thing for that person. But his whole life will be wasted. And nothing of kingdom of God, nothing of glory of God will ever come to anyone through his life. And that was not Jesus' purpose. He wanted each of us to be fruitful for the kingdom of God. To bear fruit for the kingdom of God. This is very simple, but that's why we miss it. If it were more complicated, everybody would embrace it. But this is very basic, but it is very important. If you want to be a person who make a difference for kingdom of God in your surrounding here and in the world who never have heard the gospel, you have to turn around. You have to turn your back to the world and you have to squeeze away through the cross of Jesus Christ. And the cross is so narrow, it is so narrow that nobody is able alive to pass through the cross to the other side. And it's only after that process of death, you can be resurrected together with Jesus. Amen? Do you follow me, Resurrection? And only people who are on the other side of the cross, who are carrying the cross, the symbol of death, themselves, is nailed, carry the cross. Sometimes we say the cross of Jesus is heavy to carry. You aren't supposed to carry His cross. That was so heavy that you will end up down under if you took that on, because all the sin of the world was on Jesus' cross. It's enough for you and I just to carry our own cross, where we are crucified and we have denied ourselves, and then we move in this heavenly territory behind. Oh, there's so much glory here. There's so much power here. There's so much joy here. And there's so much peace. Because when I'm here, I'm not me anymore. It's Christ in me. Amen? And that's what needs to happen in my life and in your life. And not only once a year. And not only once every ten years. Jesus said every day, every day, that we really understand that on what side of the cross am I living. Is there so much of Jesus that nobody sees me anymore. They see Christ in me and they are amazed and they embrace the salvation. And this is happening at the church in China. It's amazing that there is a church of Jesus Christ in one country. First of all, one of the biggest differences between the church in China and between an average church in the West is that all the Chinese believers, one or another way, they have been eyewitnesses of the power of the name of Jesus. They have their own testimony. I was there when God appeared in that impossible situation and my eyes were opened and all that atheist teachings that I've been receiving all these years were erased and I saw the light of God. And they never want to go back to darkness anymore. Nobody can really come with any offer good enough that they said, let's trade Jesus to Mao again. No Mao, just Jesus. And they go everywhere and they share good news of Jesus Christ. Jesus is alive. And then they pray. Prayer is very important to be a successful disciple of Jesus Christ. And including myself, we all need more prayer. Now, how much of the world we can change through our prayers? I'm not sure about that, but I believe that in prayer God is able to change us. And that's already good enough. And so the church in China is now working hard that every Chinese may hear that there is a Savior for every Chinese and you can receive Him and He will give you eternal life. He will forgive you your sins and He will bring heaven on the earth into your life. And that's why people believe. That's why they receive in tens of thousands everywhere in China today. And about the importance of miracles. I believe that the miracles were actually, according to my Bible, they were supposed to be something that followed after the disciples. The disciples were witnessing, giving a personal testimony, this is what I have received, this is what I've seen. And then Jesus Himself, He confirms the word by performing miracles and wonders. And can you imagine that during this revival in China, every year we go through all the miracles of the Bible, somewhere, again and again they happened. And after every miracle, hundreds and even thousands of eyes of people are opened. This Jesus is alive. Amen. And let's think about the future. What about if we are able to export that into the house of Buddha, where people are extremely religious, they are extremely serious about their God. What about if the present power and the presence of Kingdom of God start to move into every Buddhist temple throughout the house of Buddha. What about if one morning all the Buddhas in every Buddhist temple in Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia, Vietnam, Tibet, Nepal, everywhere, they are found face down on the crown by the power of Jesus Christ. Is this possible? It is absolutely possible. It only takes people like you and I that we will bring that presence of Kingdom of God into the house of Buddha. What about if one day in the house of Hindu, they don't have only one God, they have millions of Gods in India. What about if one day all these Gods have lost their existence and the name of Jesus is proclaimed to everybody and these extremely religious people, they embrace the grace of God. Every Buddhist person today is a slave of his religion. Every Hindu living today is a slave of his religion. If I would take you to Ganges River in northwest India, to a city called Varanasi, which is one of the two holy cities, the birth places of Hinduism, you would vomit when you would see the presence of darkness. You would see millions of people who come to that dirty, dirty river which is packed with dead corpse of people. It is so pollinated that it is unbelievable. They will walk in early at the sunrise into that river and they only have a little fabric on themselves and they got to wash themselves and then they start to drink up this river and they hope that this dirty, dirty water will cleanse me from my sins. You will be present in that smell of burning dead bodies as they have fire after fire and they are burning up the dead people. And then what is left over they throw into the river and this goes on 24x7 in the darkness. And people are so poor that you can hardly as a westerner walk safely even one meter. You have immediately 100 people who really are poor and they are just begging, can you give me something. What about if that Jesus who one day took five little bread and two fishes and he blessed them, can he do it again? I believe so. But it takes couple of disciples to be the middle man for the delivery of bread and fish. It is not enough that I sit in my comfort at home and I send intercontinental missiles with bread to the poor people. It does not work. To be a disciple is to follow Jesus. And I am sure that Jesus is crying for the darkness in house of Buddha and in house of Hindu. What about that we will enter into the house of Mohammed which is very, very dangerous. I think it is good to be a disciple when you go there because at least you know where you are heading to when they kill you. So you don't need to worry about that. What about if we would go there and we would start to draw the presence of Kingdom of God upon that country? This is what the Chinese missionaries are doing. They are not highly educated but they are packed with the nature of a disciple and they are ready to die for Christ. I remember few years ago when we were sending the first Chinese missionaries out from the borders of China to the countries towards west on the way back to Jerusalem as we were sharing yesterday. Some churches they even require that every missionary before they depart from China they have to sign their testament what is going to happen if they are killed for the gospel in the country where they are serving the Lord. So that is the price we have to pay but praise God there is victory in the name of Jesus. Now I am going to tell you a story, a true story. I have been, I have seen, I met all the people, I know the story. I have been on the place when this happened. In mid-1990s when we started to send out missionaries from China and first part of the sending was we sent the missionaries to those part of China where the name of Jesus had not been preached within this present generation at all. And from Hunan province the church appointed 16 missionaries to go together, both male and female missionaries, a team of 16 people. The elders they called them together and they laid their hands and they prayed over them and then they released them. They did not have any security of a monthly support from the church but the church has enough money to pay for one way railway ticket to that place where they were heading to. And the place that the Holy Spirit had spoken to the church was to send them up to Himalaya and to send them up to Sichuan province which was a very, very dark province in China. And it was totally content by presence of Buddhism. Dalai Lama Buddhism was a very strong presence all the way around Himalaya mountains. And these 16 missionaries they were standing, the support was so poor that they could not even set the seat on the train so they were standing three days on the train. And when they arrived to their destiny to a county with name Wan, W-A-N, and they came to this place, they were very motivated, we have to immediately get people to believe in Jesus because otherwise we don't have anywhere to stay and we have nothing to eat and we happen not to have any money either. So they were very motivated and if you meet a motivated Chinese missionary you never forgot them. I mean that they just do the outermost to convince every person they meet that the best thing ever can happen for you that right now you kneel down here and I pray and you will become a child of living God. They are very good on that. But when these 16 missionaries, that was the average height, they were between 18 and 23 years old. They were not any giants of theologic understanding, they were just simple disciples of Jesus. So when they arrived to Wansien, they stepped off from the train and immediately against China law they started to sing worship to Jesus. And of course at the railway station there is always a lot of people and so was in this case. But as they started to sing, as they started to share few sentences, the reaction among the people was they started to throw stones and they were cursing and they became so hostile towards these 16 innocent disciples of Jesus that they have to run for their lives and hide in the forest. And for longest time they were hit by stones. And when they arrived to the camp which they have to build in the forest and they were wound by the stones and glass bottles and everything have been thrown on them. They did not understand what in the world went wrong. And they were really searching their hearts, Lord, where did we miss you? We thought that you called us to come to this place. You wanted us to share the gospel to all these Buddhists, Communists, people who never have heard the gospel. We thought you called us. And they were praying. And then they decided, let's fast and pray. The fasting was easy because they didn't have anything to eat. So the whole night they had a campfire and they were around the fire and they were really searching God and then they felt, yeah, Jesus is with us. It was just a setback, a temporary setback. Let's go back. And next morning they walked the whole team together, hand in hand. They said, let's take this town, this village to Jesus Christ in the name of Jesus. And they started to call heaven and earth to shake and fire and anointing and glory upon that place. And the reaction was even more hostile towards them. They have to turn around. Somewhere in the heat of the stone rain they understood, if we take one more step forward, we'll die. So we better turn around and rush back to the forest. And they kept doing this for three weeks. Every day. Now the reason why they were met like this, I mean this was still in China. What was so different? What these missionaries did not know. That there is a historical thing that had been happening in past many hundreds years. That every spring, young men on horses would ride from their home province to that location and hijack the most beautiful young woman and force them to ride back with them and take them to their wives and bring them back to her nun. So for two hundred years, the villages, all the young girls were robbed and brought to totally other part of China to become wives for young men from there. And these missionaries had not a clue about this. But these missionaries, they spoke Chinese with the same dialect like those who had been robber taking their girls. So all the agony of two hundred years come with those stones on the missionaries. It's only afterwards they learned about this. So the missionaries, they went back to the forest and they were praying every night. And their fasting became very serious. And then they started to say, Lord, we cannot continue this because it may happen that one after other we will die. They will stone us dead. We really need to hear your voice, what to do. And one night, as the sixteen of them were praying together, everybody individually heard the voice of Jesus saying, You have to start wash their feet. I don't know what this means to you to wash somebody's feet. But for the sixteen missionaries, that was a challenge. What in the world does this mean? That we should go and ask the people who are stoning us, would you mind me to wash your feet? Does this make any sense for you? Oh, then you are like myself. It's plain stupid. And if you would write a letter to your mission pastor and say, I am almost stoned to death. And now Jesus said, from tomorrow I have to start to wash the feet of those who are stoning me. In my eyes, it would mean that they can pick up bigger stones. So when I'm kneeling right there, they just drop the stone. But the missionaries did not hear anything else. So next morning, they arranged some throw-away backpacks and they warmed water. And they were carrying this water to the village road, the road leading to the fields from the village. Eight people on both sides. And they were waiting for the farmers in the morning to come out and in the evening to come back. And they wanted to wash their feet. In the beginning, nobody allowed them to touch them. And they just pulled over the hot water on the missionaries. And they were cursing them. And they said, don't say a word. I don't want to hear one word from you. But they came again and again. And one day, somebody who was walking back home from the field, he felt, I actually haven't washed my feet for last two months. And he stopped and he said to the missionary who was kneeling on the ground and the water was there, do not say one word. But wash my feet. And wash them good. And they started their feet washing ministry. Now I don't know how long an average Anapaptist background, Mennonite, Amish, or whoever you are, would last. The only thing you can do without saying a word, washing the same dirty feet on your knees. These missionaries, they did that exactly three years every day. Three years. Not one word. And I'm just letting you understand, it takes a dead person to do that. If you are a little bit still alive, you will stop. Oh, it seems that enemy is against me. They continued to wash those feet. Because they came up with a secret. I have a touching point here. So I really wash them carefully. And I pray, living God, my Jesus, touch the heart of this person. And they kept doing it again and again and again. And exactly on the day, three years later, one old man, a farmer, was a little sick. He felt something in him. And he returned earlier than all the others from the field. And as he was walking towards the village, again he saw the same scenery. Eight people on both sides of the road. Nobody is looking up. Everybody is just staring on the ground, waiting to wash his feet. And suddenly, God spoke to that man. And he got the question, why are they doing this? For three years, they've been serving us. They have been washing our feet. They have been so good to us. Every day, why are they doing this? And he could not keep silent anymore. He asked the person who started to wash his feet, why are you doing this? And immediately, that missionary was ready. She has been training and practicing three years. What shall I say when the first one asks me this question? And he said, God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son. And he shared the gospel to this 70 years old man. And immediately, that man kneeled down on the road and received Jesus Christ as his Lord. And within two weeks, every feet, the person, every pair of feet, whom the missionary had touched, more than 1,000 people, they received Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Amen. Deny yourself. Pick up your cross. I don't know if your cross is water bucket in Islamic world. I don't care. But take your bucket and go and do whatever God has prepared for you. And if you are obedient, your eyes may see God's glory. And that was the beginning of that we all desire. Revival. I have not been in many places with such a revival. When I came to that place three years later, 1997, when I met with the leaders of that rising church of Jesus Christ in Wanshan, and I asked the brothers, how many Bibles do you need? This was about six months later after this first thing. And they said, brother, we have a tremendous need. We need at least 50,000 Bibles in order to give out to the new believers. God used those serving, feed forcing missionaries to bring revival, the fire of God upon that part of Himalaya. Then I went there maybe a year or two later, and I met with the same leaders, and I said, brothers, what is the situation with Bibles in your region? And they said, brother, if you just could help us to get 300,000 Bibles, and they are not working with Gideons, that they have a Bible storage at home. That was a Bible to be given into the hands of all these believers. So as we are here tonight, and we start to prepare to listen, brother Yun, the heavenly man, you have to understand something about kingdom of God. It is not only to believe in kingdom of God, but it actually means to walk in that resurrection power of kingdom of God. And I really have a prayer for you, that somehow you are able to squeeze through the cross to the other side, and start to make difference for kingdom of God within your generation. Last night we saw a short video about countries like North Korea, Iran, and China, and about the needs in these countries. And we are going to show that again, because more than half of you were not last night here. And after that, we will welcome my blood brother, my Chinese brother, brother Yun, and he is going to share to us. So let's watch this video, and immediately after that, brother Yun will come forward. And brother Yun. Praise the Lord. And now, let us all, with even greater passion, welcome our Lord Jesus Christ to our meeting. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Hallelujah. I think this one is wondering. Okay, I think this... Is it okay now? Good? It was too much of anointing. It's just the point. And now with fluent Chinese and passion, say to the person next to you, Jesus loves you. Jesus loves you. Amen. And children here today, you can say to your mom and dad, I love you, and Jesus loves you. Amen. Hallelujah. Don't be seated yet. You have been sitting already a long time. I have not a clue about your culture. And I'm not going to preach anything about Chinese culture, or any Western culture. I just want to share the culture of living word of God. The culture of heaven is the culture of love. And compassion. Amen. And the Bible says that when Jesus was praying, the heaven opened. And the voice from heaven said, when Jesus was about to be baptized, this is my beloved son. And God also said that, this is my beloved, I love my son. This is my beloved son. If God needed to say that to his own son on the earth, it's even more important that we all love our own son. And also share with one another the love of our father. Hallelujah. And that's why I say to one another, you who are mothers and fathers, say to your children, Jesus loves you, and I love you too. Amen. And mothers and fathers, say this first time in your life, say to your children, I love you because Jesus loves you. Amen. Hallelujah. Amen. And now be seated in peace, like we say in China. The reason why we love is because God first loved us. I'm called Heavenly Man, Brother Yun, and I'm one of your brothers in Christ. How many of you believe that the Bible is the living word of God, and you love the word of God? Amen. So let's stand up and receive the word of God as we read it together. Let's stand up together again. And I will read from Matthew chapter 14, and read verse 14. When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick. Amen. Please be seated again. A lot of exercise tonight. Hallelujah. My brother was reading from the early chapters of Matthew, about one day how Jesus visited the home of Simon Peter. And this was very important, because when Jesus was on the mission on his earth, he always wanted to enter into people's suffering, into their difficulties, and solve their problems. And that's why he wanted to have full access to your family, that he can do the work that only he can do. And the good thing about Jesus is, that even before you tell him what you need, he knows everything about you. And it's amazing, if you are equipped, anointed disciple of Jesus, it may happen that you walk into a family, into a house, and the Lord will give you a revelation, a word, and as you are presenting that word, that becomes a power of God and deliverance for that family, and you didn't even know what was wrong in their lives. And actually three of the gospels, they recorded the same thing. Jesus entered into the house of Simon Peter. And Jesus cast out the fever from the mother-in-law of Peter, and she stood up and she served the disciples and Jesus. Now I say a little bit about us Chinese. So when we are sending the messengers of the gospel, the simple disciples of Jesus, when they enter in that new location where they have arrived, and they start to share the gospel, they first enter into their living room and they kneel down, and they ask God's blessing and peace upon that household. And even before they say anything else, they said, is there something we can do to help you? I believe that every messenger of Jesus Christ, we should be like Jesus, a reflection of Jesus, in the same manner like Jesus was serving the need of people of his time, we should go and serve and help people in their needs. And now we are at the beginning of one of the happenings in Jesus' life, and this situation is recorded in all four gospels. And I just love this story. And I believe that this passage have a very important message to all of us. It's very important. I was sharing to you yesterday, that before salvation came to my family, my oldest brother, the first born child of my mother and father, he starved to death in the middle of that starvation. And because of circumstances, we didn't have any food, I became a beggar boy, and I was begging food from neighbors and everywhere in street corners, asking people to have mercy upon my family. But after I saw the miracle happen in my family, after we called upon the name of Jesus as whole family, my father was healed from terminal cancer, and the whole family became believers. I received a Bible, and as I was reading, memorizing chapter a day, all the gospels, I recognized there is this one wonderful story in every one of the gospels. And when I started my ministry, I had access to many many homes in China, and I prayed for their sick people, and saw mighty power of God upon them. But I also recognized people in China, right those years, during the Cultural Revolution, they were so hungry, and they were so poor, and they were so little provision for anyone to eat. And one day, after I had read all the gospels, I went to my mother, and I said, Mother, do you know what kind of bread and what kind of fish Jesus was using? Because these were really special bread, and really special fish. And I said to my mother, if we only get hold of the recipe of those five bread, the starving is over in China. My mother said, oh son, this is very simple. Do you want to get this simple recipe? And my mother started to teach me, son, your two hands, they are two fishes. Your two legs, they are two fishes. And your two eyes, are two fishes. Your two ears, are two fishes. And if you, together with your mouth and your tongue, you surrender it all to Jesus, it becomes five bread and two fishes. Hallelujah! I said, five bread, what is that? The five bread is that living word that will come out from your mouth, and it will be enough for the whole world. Hallelujah! And those words of my mother, they totally changed my thinking and my life. And I started to check my mother. I said, Mother, in the Bible it said it was enough for five thousand men and women, plus women and children. What about if there had been fifty thousand men and women and children? What about if there had been half million of men, plus children and wives? Would that be enough? And my mother said, My mother said, it doesn't matter how many people there are living in China, if you are willing to give your whole life as a living sacrifice for Jesus, that will be enough living bread coming from your mouth, it will be enough for the whole nation of China. Hallelujah! Now Jesus is asking you a question tonight. Are you willing to surrender your five bread and two fishes fully to Him tonight? How many of you have fishes and bread with you tonight? Amen! And those of you who really want to be available for God to use, you can wave with both hands like this. Amen! Hallelujah! So He's especially happy. Hallelujah! God be able to use Brother Yun and break his life to become a food for this generation. He can use anyone here tonight. Hallelujah! You remember last night, I came to conclusion of my message, and I was sharing that after being more than seven years in non-stop ministry, I was so exhausted, so tired, that God prepared a vacation home for me. He allowed them to capture me and throw me into a prison. Before this happened, He allowed me to understand who I really am in Jesus Christ. And that is the same answer I got from the Lord as I was giving to you. Before coming here, I was asking, Lord, who are these people? I have never met them before, who are they? And God gave me an answer from 1 Peter that said, they are chosen people. Amen! And let us all say aloud together, we are all chosen people. We are holy nation. We are holy nation. We are holy priesthood. Let us all stand up, exercise again. Let us shout out together, we are all children of living God. Hallelujah! Please be seated in peace again. Amen! You have to know that God has an important calling for your life. That you will go and carry that light of God in you. Bring it in the middle of darkness and allow it to x-ray around you. This is what we say, to be a testimony for Jesus. I am not sending you to the best bible seminar at all. I think that the best time for you to share the gospel is when you just have received the gospel and received Jesus being saved. That you immediately share to your friends, to your family. I am saved, Jesus saved me. Now, Jesus had revealed me that I am on my way to the first vacation of my life. I did not know what it means to be on a vacation. And I absolutely did not have a clue that I will end up in the prison. So the policemen, they came as we were closing the discipleship training. And they captured me. And as they were questioning and torturing me. With the bottom of my voice, I shouted. I shouted, Lord Jesus come and rescue us. Now, they have arrested us. I was shouting aloud with great voice, my agony. Suddenly, inside my heart, I heard the very low voice of Jesus. My child, I do know. I know. And you know, anytime Jesus says something to us, every word carries the power, the glory and the peace of the kingdom of God. Those two words, I know. He was like my, our heavenly father's child. I know. And I started, my agony, my fear was removed. I started to sing one song for my heart. The Lord is my strength. You know, when the Lord speaks to us, suddenly our agony, our fear runs, go out through the window. Hallelujah. Now, let us say to one another aloud, we have to hear more Jesus speaking to us. Amen. Say this to one another, we need to hear the word of God. It took about three weeks. I was kept at the cell inside the police station for them to find out. And they said, they came to me one day and they said, oh, now we know. You are not heavenly man, you are that preacher we've been looking for ten years. And now we finally got you. And they said, you are that preacher we've been looking for all these years. And I said, every preacher is a heavenly man. So after they find out this, I was brought to the court and I was sentenced to life imprisonment. And they brought me to the nearby real prison. Now I have to be very serious and let you know that if you want to follow Jesus, it is not easy decision. It's a very serious decision. So if you want, you really have to make that choice. I decide to follow Jesus and you have to stick with your decision. I knew that the authorities were furious because for ten years they've been looking for me. And they were so upset about those tens of thousands of Chinese who are now witnessing that Jesus is alive. And I make a decision that I'd rather die than I would deny the name of Jesus or I would betray the other believers. Now, I don't know if you have visited a prison in US, but I tell you they are totally different to the prisons in China. Now, I had been called and wanted criminal, the number one wanted contra-revolutionary. And they finally got me. And in torture and questioning, they started to really look for answers. They said, what are the locations where you have been running away from us last ten years? How many meat employees you have established? What are the names of the leaders in all those churches that you have established all over China? And I said, I make a decision. I just stop eating and I just stop drinking. I'd rather die than give any answer to any question. And I was thinking that I'd rather die and I was thinking that if you stop eating and you stop drinking, soon or later you will die and I will go to heaven. But I do not want to be a Judas. And in the same manner, you have to do a decision in your life. In the same manner, when you have big difficulties, no matter what, I will follow Jesus. And if I have to die on this road, I'm ready to die, but I do not give up Jesus. I do not let down Jesus. And I took hold of that promise that the Lord gave me before I came to prison. Lord, you said that you sent me on vacation. So when I'm in a vacation, I don't need to eat, I don't need to drink, because obviously you sent me to the vacation, so you will take care of me. So I decided that I close my eyes, anytime they brought me to that torture room, I close my eyes and I close my mouth, I didn't speak one word to those policemen who were torturing me. And the only thing I was thinking with closed eyes, how great my God is. But it wasn't that easy to maintain that position. Because the authorities said, it looks like you are not willing to answer to our questions, we have ways to get you to talk. And they squeezed, as you have been reading on my book, they squeezed my hand on the table. And they started with thick needles, they started to squeeze acid under my nails. And they kept my eyes open, so I would see the pain that was hitting my body. And it only took when they hit my third finger, the pain was so tremendous, that my soul left my spirit. And I had the same feeling, I believe my dear Lord Jesus had on the cross, when he said, Father, Father, why have you forsaken me? And it took a long while before I came back to my body, and I woke up, and I discovered that they had brought me from the torture room and thrown me into a cell, and it was filled with heavy criminals. And everybody was crying in that cell, as they saw the pain that they had caused into my body. And I was still half way between the cosmos and my body, and I had no desire to return back to that painful body that was on the floor of that cell. And I didn't open my eyes, in tears I was saying, Father, Father, allow me to come to home today, I want to be with you, and leave this pain behind me. I only, that was my human body, my soul was crying, I want to leave all this pain of the world behind me, and I will embrace the glory of God, and to be unified at his presence. I was in despair, and I heard the Lord speaking to me, Child, I know that I will open a long door for you, and no one will be able to close it. And the Lord wanted to encourage me that moment, so he didn't only say those words, I saw in a vision, how the prison doors, one after other, they were open for me, and I had my Bible in my hand, and I walked among the nations, and I was sharing the testimony of Jesus Christ to people with different skin colors, different people groups, I was witnessing to thousands and tens of thousands of people about God's faithfulness. And it's amazing that within just a few seconds, God was able to deliver a life lasting hope into my heart. I knew one day, this all will be passed, and I will stand in freedom, and I will preach about the mighty work of God in my life. And of course, I had this human reaction, Lord, when is this going to happen? And the Lord said, your help will arrive in the morning. And I tell you, that was a long night. Many times in coming years, I was just saying, Lord, this is unbelievable how long this night is. When is the new day going to dawn? And I was asking hundreds of times, Lord, when is this darkness going to pass? And the new day is going to dawn. Now, I remembered suddenly, that it wasn't that the gates and doors were open from the biggest to the smallest, but it was first a little door that opened for me. And the Lord opened that little door for me inside the prison. Now, as I told you earlier, I wasn't eating or drinking anything, because I felt that I'd rather die than speak to the authorities. So I hadn't been eating anything. And after I had been not eating and drinking for 74 days, the authorities came up to understanding, this man is going to die any moment. And they invited, they asked my mother and my relatives to come and say goodbye. And the authorities, as their last attempt to get me to speak to them, they brought my family there and they said, this man is going to die any minute. He's beyond rescue. He has been not eating and drinking for 74 days. And they brought me to that visit room in the prison. And when my mother, my wife, my brothers and sisters from the church, when they walked into that room, nobody anymore recognized my shrinking body on the ground. And my wife is with us tonight, so Sister Terling, you can stand up. Terling, you can stand up. She is my witness. Amen. And my wife, when she looked at the body on the ground, she said, this is not my husband. And she went to my mother and they both said, this is not my son. And they said to the policeman standing there, you have brought the wrong person. This is not our relative. Maybe sometimes in your life, for the sake of the gospel, you have so many problems in your life, and you are in so many difficulties, that the people who usually recognize you, they don't want to have anything to do with you. You are all alone. Remember, Jesus knows you. And my mother wasn't really sure if that was the wrong person. So she turned around the body on the ground, and she found a birthmark that I have in my back. And she shouted with tears, this is my son. So that's when I woke up, came back to my conscience, and I, with a very small voice, I said, And I said with that low voice, I said to my mother, Mother, I do not want to betray Jesus. I have decided, today, I will die for Jesus, rather than I betray him. And I'm so sorry, that I even said the same words to my dear wife. I said, dear wife, today, I'm going to die, and I'm going to go to heaven, and I'm going to leave you. My older sister, she was just a new believer, so she hadn't really been taught properly yet at the church. So when she heard that I'd rather die, than I stay with my mother and my pregnant wife, she hit me with her hand on my side. And she was so upset, you don't want to have your mother, you don't want to have your wife who is pregnant for four months, you're going to leave your newborn baby as an orphan. I was really moved earlier this afternoon, we were having communion together with brothers. That moment, when I was there, I said to my mother and my wife, I want to have the last meal with you, because today, I'm going to be with Jesus. But my mother, she was a person of prayer, and she was also a very clear prophet for the Lord. And my mother said, this is what I hear Jesus saying to my son, Jesus does not want you to die for Him, He wants you to live your life fully for His glory. At that time, God touched me with one thing, He said, I want to eat, to live and eat is to eat the flesh of the pig, to drink the blood of the pig, because prepare me grape juice, prepare me the flesh of the lamb. I want to return back to life for Jesus. And the warden was shocked, because for three months, I haven't spoken one word. So they thought I'm not able to speak. So as we were taking communion together, they came, they were totally in shock. What are they supposed to do now? Now He is speaking. Because of the precious blood of Jesus, I started to speak again. Who can give me peace, if only through the blood of Jesus? Hallelujah. And who can set me free, except the blood of Jesus? Hallelujah. And who can allow me overcome my difficulties, only the blood of Jesus? Hallelujah. And now say this aloud to one another, don't be afraid, you will overcome through the blood of Jesus. Let's sing this, do you know this song together? Yeah. Let's sing it together. Amen. Amen. Through the precious blood of Jesus Christ, your darkness will disappear. No matter how bad your situation is, if you allow the precious blood of Jesus to fill your life, your difficulties will fade away. And when the authorities saw that I'm speaking, they brutally pulled me out from my mother and my wife, and they dragged me and they threw me back to my cell. But those words my mother said as a prophetic message from Jesus, live your life for His glory, it started to work inside me. Hallelujah. And the Lord keeps saying to me, stop thinking about dying for me, live your life for me, fully. Let's say together, live your life for Lord's, His glory. Live your life for His glory. Amen. When we say something like this, we always have to say this in the presence of heaven, in the presence of the Lord, as a proclamation. I want to live my life for His glory. Hallelujah. Now they throw me to a cell, and there were 20 other prisoners, heaviest prisoners, people who had been sentenced for life or were on a death row to be executed. 20 heaviest criminals, and they throw my body into that cell. Now, among them was one man who was a serial killer, and he was waiting to be executed. And if you are that kind of criminal in China, 24-7 you have the shackles and the weights on your legs, and your hands are bind with chains behind you, and you cannot sit, you have to stand all the time. And the director of the prison came to me, and he spoke to me. I was still very weak, lying on the ground. He said, we have decided that you will become the leader of this cell, and you're going to be in charge of this whole cell, with 20 murderers and rapers, and they are all under your control. My body weight was less than 80 pounds. I was just so weak, and I said, Director, I am a breacher, I cannot be upset, I cannot be mad, I cannot control this man. I am for no use, I cannot be their leader. But the director was very stern, he said, I didn't ask your opinion about this. I just commanded that you are the director, the leader of this cell, and their lives are in your control. It was a complete shock for me, when they moved me into that cell, because the presence of hell was in that cell, literally. No matter what they did, everything was so hopeless, so dead, so impossible, it was so discouraging to spend even a second in that cell. The culture in the cell like this, is the culture of no hope, no future, and living hell. I can sing one of their songs to you. The steel bars and the doors have separated me from the dreams of my life. No matter how beautiful the world is outside, I am never going to see it again. I am going to die and rattle in the streets. And they all knew, they are never going to walk out as free men from that cell. They are going to die in that prison. Now it was totally forbidden to sing in the prison, but you were already on the death row, so there wasn't any more harmful happen to you, so they were just singing. And after they'd been singing a little while, their hopeless songs, they asked, Who are you? And I said, I am a messenger of the gospel, I'm a preacher. And they said, Preacher? We want to hear you to sing a song for us. And I said to them, Don't you know, it's forbidden to sing in the prison? I said, If you don't sing right now, we're going to kill you. So it's your option. And I wasn't strong enough to decide that kill me, but I'm not going to sing. So I started to sing. And as I was just about to start to sing, the Spirit of God came upon me, and I was filled with the Holy Spirit. And the Lord gave me words that were able to bring these men out from that hopelessness, and the living hope was proclaimed to them through my song. Steel doors and iron bars and chains cannot separate me from the loving God. He is living. And my life may be miserable at times, but I have the presence of the living God in me, and I'm filled with peace and joy everywhere I am. Hallelujah. Now, it doesn't matter what are your circumstances, how bad they are. If you have the presence of the Lord in that situation, you will overcome. Amen. And of course, because of that presence of darkness in that cell, I was very sincerely praying, God, send your presence of your kingdom into my cell right now. Not tomorrow, right now. How many of you have a deep desire of more of God's presence in your life? Now, it has nothing to do with your circumstances. Now, I was in that cell with these 20 heavy criminals, and the Lord started to speak from my inner being the living words, the words of compassion and hope to those prisoners. And it's amazing, if you have presence of God in you, even the authorities in the prison, they became curious what is happening in that cell. And the only reason why I desired for more of God's presence, because I had decided God's kingdom is going to transform my person, and it will become a place of worship and praise to the living God. May the presence of God increase in your family, in your marriage, in your business, in your working place. Hallelujah. And one after another, these 20 prisoners started to say, I need more of God's presence in my life. And together with me, after they received Jesus into their lives, we started to sing this song together. And the whole prison, with more than 800 prisoners, they started to sing that they need more kingdom of God. Hallelujah. And when you start to sing and desire more of kingdom of God, God will show up. Now, when we are praying for God's presence in our lives, in order that to happen, we have to also to pay the price of obedience and the price of to give out and demonstrate the love of Jesus. Now, the number one punishment in Chinese prison system is, you are always hungry, you are always thirsty. They only give you little watery rice, water with little rice once a day, and that's all food that they provide you. And then, except Sunday night, you get one little tiny steamed bun. And that was the best food we ever got as we were in the prison. Now, the first Sunday arrived, I had been less than a week the leader of the cell. And my work was to equally share the little food to everybody, to keep them each that little bread to eat. And everybody was really hungry. Now, before I started to share the food, the bread to everybody, everybody was just about to receive it. I said, let's pray together. And after I prayed, and I started to share the food, the bread, those little tiny breads to each one of them, I heard the Lord saying to me, that you give something them to eat. And that word was really strong, and I understood, Jesus is after my own bread. I said, Lord, Lord, you may forgotten that I'm also a human being. I have been starving, I've been without food for all these months. And this is the first steamed bread I have tasted for so long. I'm so hungry. My every cell needs that, everything that is in that little bun. It didn't help. I was trying to argue with Jesus. So many reasons why it's not good idea me to give my bread to that serial killer. But I learned something that evening. If you are disobedient, and you don't want to do what Jesus tells you to do, that feeling is far away more bad than any hunger you ever feel in your life. I was really miserable. So I make a decision. Let's see, what about if I just put my bread in a piece of toilet paper, put it into my pocket, and tomorrow morning, when Jesus has forgotten everything about my bread, I will eat it up myself. Now, that half-obedience already makes a miracle. My hunger disappears. The next morning, I was the only one who was supposed to eat the bread. And I was so excited, I took the bread from my pocket, and immediately I heard the voice of Jesus, give it away. The number one punishment in the Chinese prison is, you are constantly hungry and thirsty. And this serial killer, his breakfast was just plain water. And when in obedience, I started to make that little bread of mine in pieces, I put it into that water, and I started to feed this man. He immediately fell down on his knees. And he in tears, he was looking up to me, and he said, my man, friend of mercy, when they three days later execute me and I become a ghost, I will come back to this prison, and I will be your servant for all eternity. And I said, brother, it's not that I so specially love you, it is my Jesus who said to me, that I'm supposed to give you my bread. Jesus loves you. And this man, when I told him it's Jesus who gave him that bread, he started to look each one of those twenty new believers, that who is Jesus, that he could tell, he said, Jesus, I really need you more in my life. And he should have been there when the kingdom of God hit the cell. Everybody was so moved about what happened to this man, and we all became brothers in Jesus Christ. It is very important for you to hear what Jesus is speaking to you, but it's even more important to be obedient to that what he has told you. And I was so amazed that God, through this miracle, established my Bible training center inside the prison. I started to teach these new believers in myself. It was totally forbidden for us to have a Bible with us into prison. It was confiscated. But praise God, I had already memorized the Gospels, and memorized the New Testament, so I was able to teach to them. We didn't have any hymn books, but the Lord, when he filled me with the Holy Spirit, he gave me this gift. I was able to sing Scripture songs and psalms to the people. And I was teaching them, if you believe and you are baptized, you will be saved. This serial killer on that row, he insisted, before they execute me, I want to be baptized. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And I said to this brother, brother, it's so difficult, because I'm used to baptize people in the rivers and lakes with plenty of water. How can I baptize you? I only have this little drop of water in the cell. How am I able to baptize you? So I decided that we stop drinking water in my cell, and I collected all the water available. And with that water, I baptized this brother, in the name of Father, in the name of Son, and in the name of Holy Ghost. Hallelujah. And after I had baptized all those 20 men, this serial killer, former serial killer, new believer of Jesus, he wanted to write a letter to his parents. Now, before I baptized him and these other brothers, I said to them, now you have to confess to Jesus all the sins, all the things that you have done, and everything that you haven't even told to the authorities, you have to confess your sins. And that was a long night as they were confessing their sins. I have never heard bad things as they were sharing to me. And I said, you have to repent from your sins, and surrender your life fully to Jesus. And then he confessed to me, that I had already prepared, I have a hidden razor blade in my collar, and I had decided, I don't give them honor to execute me, I'm going to kill myself the very moment they open my handcuffs. And we dare not to touch that razor blade, because it was totally forbidden. It was a suicide instrument in the prison. So we called the prison director, and we told him what has happened to this man. And they were amazed when they found this razor blade, and they said, who is this Jesus, who let this man to reveal that he has fooled us all. And because of his repentance, they moved his hands from his back to his front. And right away when they did that, he wounded himself in the finger, and with his own blood, he started to write his last letter, on the long piece of toilet paper, to his mother and his father. This brother, he was executed the next day. But he left behind that letter, and four years later, when I delivered his letter to his crying mother and father, they both received Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Hallelujah. Now we shall continue. Now maybe you say to me, brother, in this country so far, you don't end up in the prison for the sake of the gospel. But I promise you, if you are serious about your discipleship, and to be a truly follower of Jesus, within this age, you will surely be persecuted. Some of you may still live in the prison of religion, or in the prison of sin, but Jesus won't set you free. If you have family members who are not yet believers and followers of Jesus, if you have friends that you really want to receive salvation, do you pray and hope that they may embrace salvation of Jesus? How many of you pray, may kingdom of God come upon my whole extended family? If you believe you and your family will be saved, say the word of God. Let us all stand up together. Hallelujah. I don't know what kind of jail you are living in tonight. Jesus is alive, and that's the reason why you can face tomorrow. Maybe you have decided tonight, no matter what, from now on, I want to follow Jesus, I want to become his truly disciple. And you hope that kingdom of God will come into your family, into your extended family. We want to pray with you tonight. How many of you want to join me in this prayer tonight? Hallelujah. Let us all kneel down before the Lord, and I pray with you. Hallelujah. Lord, you have said, one day every knee will bow before you. And every mouth will confess that you are only Lord. Lord, Jesus, you are Lord. You are Lord over their families. Lord, in your name, I bless these dear brothers and sisters. Lord, these people will become a wonderful testimony for you. And Lord, they will be light for many, leading people out from darkness into eternal life in Jesus. Lord, may your kingdom come upon us in power. And Lord, may your will be done in our personal lives, as it is made in heaven. In the name of Jesus, we set them free from all sin and all darkness. And I set them free from the boundaries of religion. And Lord, pour out your Spirit of understanding and wisdom so that their rising up worship and praise will touch your heart. And I pray one sentence, and please repeat after me aloud. Abba, Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, I come before you asking. I confess I am a sinner. I need your mercy and your compassion. I need your precious blood. May your kingdom come into my life. May your kingdom come into my family. May your will be done in my life, as it is done in heaven. Lord Jesus, in your name I proclaim. I am a chosen people. I am a holy nation. I am a child of living God. May kingdom of God surround me. Surround my family. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen. Let us stand up in the name of Jesus. Hallelujah. And now as a conclusion, repeat to one another, Don't be afraid. Jesus loves you. Amen. Eugene.
