1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,960
He said, you know,

2
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,920
three months a special offer to you.

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:12,559
Every 3 months, you just appear in the

4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:15,200
company once just to show your face. So,

5
00:00:12,559 --> 00:00:17,199
and uh employ a dealer to take a uh over

6
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:19,520
your position. I was so happy and

7
00:00:17,199 --> 00:00:22,240
excited with this offer. Yeah. So I went

8
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:24,240
home and further debate with him and I

9
00:00:22,240 --> 00:00:26,240
told him you know if both of us continue

10
00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:28,880
to work we actually can support 20

11
00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:31,279
missionary you know but if two of us

12
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:34,000
have to go full-time maybe 20 or more

13
00:00:31,279 --> 00:00:36,559
people have to support us.

14
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,640
So he always looked at me and said dear

15
00:00:36,559 --> 00:00:40,719
everything in this world belongs to God.

16
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:43,520
God don't need your money. God need your

17
00:00:40,719 --> 00:00:44,960
obedience. And uh he he further

18
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,680
challenged me. He said in the time of

19
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:50,320
Moses if God can fit three million

20
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,760
people for 40 years why can't you trust

21
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:55,120
God to fit three of us? He always

22
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:59,760
challenged me that. So finally uh on 1

23
00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:01,840
of June 2001 all of us went full-time.

24
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:04,400
So I want to share with you that it's

25
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:07,119
not about how successful we are about

26
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:11,439
our work but it's about his love for us

27
00:01:07,119 --> 00:01:14,000
and I thank God uh for that uh this

28
00:01:11,439 --> 00:01:16,159
testimony uh will encourage you and

29
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:19,720
bring glory to his name. Thank you.

30
00:01:16,159 --> 00:01:19,720
Thank you my wife.

31
00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:25,920
There's a lot of testimony to share.

32
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,600
I know I need to finish at 10:15. Just

33
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,840
pray like we can multiply the time

34
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:32,640
together.

35
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:35,119

translate Bible and uh and actually this

47
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:09,599
is a very sensitive thing and most of

48
00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:11,520
time the people are very out you know

49
00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:13,680
very remote place we need to build

relationship the government to in order

51
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:18,959

52
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:23,400

54
00:02:24,239 --> 00:02:29,760
okay those who know Chinese it means

55
00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:33,360
that when you drink the water, you must

00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:35,040
remember the source. Okay. Can you wave

61
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:51,599
English Bible, right?

62
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:54,080
You know not too long ago

63
00:02:51,599 --> 00:02:56,160
about 600 years

64
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,800
English was the not the language of

65
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,319
today. is a language of the uh

66
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:04,000
marketplace

67
00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:06,480
or the common people in the church like

68
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,560
today they won't use English they use

69
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,640
Latin

70
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:13,599
and our organization named after

71
00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:15,280
Wickliffe John Wickliffe because he's

72
00:03:13,599 --> 00:03:16,879
the one who gave us the first English

73
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,879
Bible

74
00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:22,239
he's a very smart person he's a

75
00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:25,599
professor at Cambridge he said that if

76
00:03:22,239 --> 00:03:28,400
we are able to translate the word of God

77
00:03:25,599 --> 00:03:30,560
into the the language that people can

78
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,400
read for themselves

79
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:35,360
and do not need to go through the

80
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:38,080
priests or the you know to interpret.

81
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:40,560
How powerful will it be? Of course, when

82
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:43,519
you want to do something like that and

83
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:46,000
know empower the masses,

84
00:03:43,519 --> 00:03:49,040
people are not happy.

85
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:54,159
The church of England is not happy.

86
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:57,040
In fact, 44 years after he passed away,

87
00:03:54,159 --> 00:03:59,120
they dig out his bone,

88
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,959
smash it into pieces, burn it into

89
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:03,760
ashes,

90
00:04:00,959 --> 00:04:06,480
and throw it into the small creek, a

91
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,720
small creek, flow into small river and

92
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,400
bigger river to the British channel, to

93
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,319
the Atlantic Ocean and to the rest of

94
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:16,479
the world.

95
00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:20,000
I knowingly give the vision that we need

96
00:04:16,479 --> 00:04:23,720
to get the word of God in the language

97
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,720
that people know best.

98
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:30,320
People have paid the price. Another

99
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:32,240
person I want to introduce is William

100
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,680
Tinddale

101
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,440
because we need to appreciate these

102
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:38,160
people.

103
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:40,720
William Tinddale is after 100 years have

104
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:44,080
a lot to do with the King Zen version.

105
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:45,680
Some of you like King James version

106
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,600
was King James version was finished in

107
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:50,880
1611.

108
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:53,520
At the time after uh John Wickliffe 100

109
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:56,080
years later the the the language evolved

110
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:58,880
and changed and William Tinddale is also

111
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,639
another smart person. I don't mean to

112
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,639
say that you need to be a smart person

113
00:05:00,639 --> 00:05:06,160
to be a translator. You need to be

114
00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:08,720
obedience only and willing. So he was

115
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:12,240
from the professor again from the uh

116
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:16,160
Oxford University. He knows seven

117
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:19,199
languages and u nobody knows his native

118
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:22,160
tongue. He can speak so well.

119
00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:24,240
So of course the the church is not happy

120
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:28,720
at the time Martin Luther reformation in

121
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:31,759
Europe. He went to Europe and

122
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:35,280
one day every good thing could come to

123
00:05:31,759 --> 00:05:38,000
an end. his good friend betrayed him. He

124
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:41,039
was brought back to London

125
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:45,039
and 15th October

126
00:05:41,039 --> 00:05:46,880
1536, that's a year, he was put on the

127
00:05:45,039 --> 00:05:50,240
platform

128
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:53,520
with stack of wood to burn him to death.

129
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:55,360
That's as a punishment. And just not

130
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:58,639
only that, they put a wire around his

131
00:05:55,360 --> 00:06:01,600
neck to strangle him to make sure he's

132
00:05:58,639 --> 00:06:03,199
surely dead. And before the fire

133
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:07,759
consumed his body, before he was

134
00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:10,080
strangled, he called out, "God,

135
00:06:07,759 --> 00:06:12,080
open the king's the eyes of the king of

136
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:16,319
England.

137
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:18,720
Open the eyes of the king of England."

138
00:06:16,319 --> 00:06:21,039
Indeed, God answer his prayer. That's

139
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:24,560
why you have this King James version.

140
00:06:21,039 --> 00:06:27,360
Bible came because the King James get a

141
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:29,600
a scholar committee to come up with the

142
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,840
version that the masses can read for

143
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:35,039
themselves.

144
00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:38,639
And uh this person we are really indeped

145
00:06:35,039 --> 00:06:42,560
because as a Chinese I think most of us

146
00:06:38,639 --> 00:06:45,520
do not know that uh he was involved into

147
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:47,759
the first ch

148
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,440
of the most completed first Chinese

149
00:06:47,759 --> 00:06:52,639
bible

150
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:56,160
and uh I we can we are blessed because

151
00:06:52,639 --> 00:06:59,039
people have put their life

152
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:00,720
that this 18th century Robert Morrison

153
00:06:59,039 --> 00:07:01,759
was a Christian I don't know whether

154
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,880
he's Baptist

155
00:07:01,759 --> 00:07:08,080
probably is a Baptist. I'm not sure he

156
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:10,639
left the Baptist. He theQing government

157
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:13,520
that time was say no you can't come to

158
00:07:10,639 --> 00:07:16,479
my country you only can come to the for

159
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:19,199
treaty which is they stop in Macau and

160
00:07:16,479 --> 00:07:21,199
they have the law at the time was that

161
00:07:19,199 --> 00:07:23,840
no Chinese can teach another foreigner

162
00:07:21,199 --> 00:07:26,720
foreigner Chinese language with the pain

163
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:31,280
of death. So he stopped over in Macau

164
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:33,120
with high price. He employed two tutors.

165
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:36,639
So when he studying he saw the tutor

166
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:40,240
always fleelling in his long sleeve you

167
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:41,919
know fleing like a masses there. So one

168
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,840
day he asked his teacher why is that in

169
00:07:41,919 --> 00:07:46,000
your sleeve?

170
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,599
The teacher reveal

171
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,400
you think that you are paying high price

172
00:07:47,599 --> 00:07:54,080
for the tuition. Do you know? Do you

173
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:56,319
know that I need to pay my life if I'm

174
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:58,960
caught?

175
00:07:56,319 --> 00:08:02,319
You know, I can't stand

176
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:04,639
pain if they torture me. So before they

177
00:08:02,319 --> 00:08:08,800
torture me or sent me to death, I will

178
00:08:04,639 --> 00:08:11,840
consume this poison to die.

179
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:14,879
So people have pay

180
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:16,720
with the price to get the word of God in

181
00:08:14,879 --> 00:08:20,479
our hand.

182
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:23,039
And uh word of God is so powerful.

183
00:08:20,479 --> 00:08:26,560
It's better than any missionary. It's a

184
00:08:23,039 --> 00:08:31,360
perfect missionary. Why? Never take

185
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:34,159
break, right? No MC, no home fellow like

186
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:36,959
me, home assignment and know no toilet

187
00:08:34,159 --> 00:08:40,159
break as well. So he can read for

188
00:08:36,959 --> 00:08:42,959
himself. It's perfect. So it's always

189
00:08:40,159 --> 00:08:45,279
aspiration that we we need to give the

190
00:08:42,959 --> 00:08:46,880
word of God, you know, to the people who

191
00:08:45,279 --> 00:08:48,959
need it.

192
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,800
What about you

193
00:08:48,959 --> 00:08:53,680
in Malaysia?

194
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:55,760
In Malaysia alone, you know, we are

195
00:08:53,680 --> 00:08:58,000
talking about east and west, just not

196
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,839
Peninsula Malaysia. Uh we are

197
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:03,519
celebrating the 16th September Malaysia

198
00:08:59,839 --> 00:09:05,920
day, not 31st August, just a Mika day.

199
00:09:03,519 --> 00:09:09,519
Malaysia alone we are talking about

200
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:11,920
languages native in Malaysia

201
00:09:09,519 --> 00:09:16,000
not brought over migrants language like

202
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:19,200
fucha hawin Cantonese English you know

203
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:23,839
indigenous like bid the the young less

204
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:27,120
who win the bronze medal for Malaysia

205
00:09:23,839 --> 00:09:28,560
how many do you think how many languages

206
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,360
normally I have a quiz because time

207
00:09:28,560 --> 00:09:35,440
constraint actually is total language

208
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:37,920
108 88 languages and we are working on

209
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:41,120
some of the languages in Malaysia. If

210
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:43,680
you cannot travel far, there's also

211
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:47,839
opportunity for you to serve.

212
00:09:43,680 --> 00:09:50,320
Okay, very quickly, China. Okay, where I

213
00:09:47,839 --> 00:09:53,519
serving, you know, when you stay of

214
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:55,839
China, you always remember red. Red to

215
00:09:53,519 --> 00:09:57,279
the Chinese means blessing, prosperity.

216
00:09:55,839 --> 00:09:59,680
But as a Christian, I want you to

217
00:09:57,279 --> 00:10:01,360
remember China as a blood of Jesus

218
00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:04,399
pouring over this nation cover this

219
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:06,560
nation that remember this place China

220
00:10:04,399 --> 00:10:09,120
you talk about people quickly you know

221
00:10:06,560 --> 00:10:11,360
you're talking about 56 group of people

222
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:13,920
here including the Han Chinese which is

223
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:18,000
the biggest group the Han Chinese 92%

224
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:21,440
Takadai you know Turk Burmic Hongian

225
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:25,440
Tibetan Chiang Mongolic you know and

226
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:28,880
Korean also and uh Wlang the

227
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:31,600
and the Australian and the Tonguistic

228
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:34,959
Iranian, not just Iran. And they cover

229
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:38,959
about two of China. Okay? Even though

230
00:10:34,959 --> 00:10:41,600
it's 8%, it's about 100 million. How do

231
00:10:38,959 --> 00:10:43,600
you reach out to them? How do you do the

232
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:47,120
work?

233
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:50,720
We need to know God's timing.

234
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:52,720
Today is Haraya. Is it? I'm not sure

235
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:55,680
they see the moon or not. Turn to your

236
00:10:52,720 --> 00:11:00,640
neighbor. Say, area

237
00:10:55,680 --> 00:11:03,200
and his mercy is new every morning.

238
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,720
19th August 2012,

239
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:07,839
right?

240
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:10,320
But what age are we living now? What

241
00:11:07,839 --> 00:11:14,240
age?

242
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:16,880
We are living in the very end age. Why?

243
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:20,360
Why I say that?

244
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,360
In 20110,

245
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:26,560
the total disaster or natural disaster

246
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:29,279
that happened that year is 10 times the

247
00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:33,279
previous 10 years. And what Jesus say

248
00:11:29,279 --> 00:11:34,880
about the sign of end time, you know,

249
00:11:33,279 --> 00:11:37,920
earthquake,

250
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:39,519
natural disaster, more frequent,

251
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,920
the tsunami he thought will never hit

252
00:11:39,519 --> 00:11:45,120
you is hitting you.

253
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:48,480
So we are living in the end times and we

254
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:53,279
need to know

255
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:54,800
understand the time and we are called

256
00:11:53,279 --> 00:11:57,440
children

257
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:59,360
and we need to do better than the people

258
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:03,120
of the world. But how do you know the

259
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:05,360
times? I mean if you know tomorrow you

260
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:08,480
got exam or a week later you got exam

261
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:10,079
you will work hard towards it right?

262
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:12,880
So

263
00:12:10,079 --> 00:12:15,120
you need to connect by his spirit. When

264
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:18,480
you say by his spirit, you say, you

265
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:23,360
know, not by our might, not by our

266
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:26,320
power, but by God's spirit.

267
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,760
Zechariah 4:6.

268
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:30,720
When how do you connect with God with

269
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:33,120
spirit? You pray, you meditate, you

270
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:36,399
spend time with him

271
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:39,519
and by his truth.

272
00:12:36,399 --> 00:12:41,839
The Hosea 46 here say that again my

273
00:12:39,519 --> 00:12:45,760
people are destroyed for lack of

274
00:12:41,839 --> 00:12:48,079
knowledge. I mean we are the era where

275
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:51,839
we study there are only a few university

276
00:12:48,079 --> 00:12:54,320
the tar college the M USM we can name

277
00:12:51,839 --> 00:12:58,079
them but today there's so many colleges

278
00:12:54,320 --> 00:13:01,519
that I cannot there's so many but it's

279
00:12:58,079 --> 00:13:05,279
not the world knowledge God is talking

280
00:13:01,519 --> 00:13:08,079
the knowledge the knowledge of God

281
00:13:05,279 --> 00:13:09,680
you know you do not know you didn't

282
00:13:08,079 --> 00:13:12,079
spend time you won't have the word of

283
00:13:09,680 --> 00:13:15,279
God

284
00:13:12,079 --> 00:13:18,320
and you don't know who to turn to.

285
00:13:15,279 --> 00:13:22,399
You don't know who to turn to.

286
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:25,800
The word of God is there for you.

287
00:13:22,399 --> 00:13:25,800
God reveal

288
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:33,200
God's way.

289
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:36,959
God way is always higher. Not just

290
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:39,839
higher, it's always opposite, you know.

291
00:13:36,959 --> 00:13:41,279
And when we go to China, uh mind you,

292
00:13:39,839 --> 00:13:43,600
I'm not Chinese speaking. I'm not

293
00:13:41,279 --> 00:13:45,600
educated in the Chinese school. I know

294
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,360
some of you are uh apprehensive to go to

295
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:50,639
China.

296
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:53,920
But at when you're most weak,

297
00:13:50,639 --> 00:13:55,760
God can use you.

298
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,680
You pray.

299
00:13:55,760 --> 00:14:00,000
Many of times I deal with government

300
00:13:57,680 --> 00:14:02,720
officer.

301
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:04,399
I got to pray for wisdom. I could pray

302
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,800
for the right word words to speak up,

303
00:14:04,399 --> 00:14:11,199
the right vocab. You know, Chinese is

304
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:14,720
not easy to learn. So God say God say

305
00:14:11,199 --> 00:14:17,920
not I say 2 Corinth uh Corinthian 12:9

306
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:20,320
say here my grace is sufficient for you

307
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:22,720
for my weakness my for my strength is

308
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:26,800
make perfect in your weakness so when

309
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:29,839
you're weak you connect with God you'll

310
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:32,480
make strong so let's look at this how

311
00:14:29,839 --> 00:14:34,560
Jesus overcome the enemy on the cross

312
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,639
the enemy is selfseeking the Satan

313
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:39,279
self-seeking what's the opposite of

314
00:14:36,639 --> 00:14:42,399
self-seeking self-denying Yeah. Again

315
00:14:39,279 --> 00:14:44,720
the enemy is pride. Prideful. You come

316
00:14:42,399 --> 00:14:48,240
overcome with humility, rebellious, you

317
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:50,959
come with obedience. Okay. Opposite lord

318
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:54,320
lording nature servantthood.

319
00:14:50,959 --> 00:14:57,279
If your neighbor is uh

320
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:59,760
rude to you, insolent to you, impolite

321
00:14:57,279 --> 00:15:02,639
to you. It's always the tendency

322
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:05,279
impolite to the person.

323
00:15:02,639 --> 00:15:08,399
But God us call us to act opposite

324
00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:11,760
spirit. I learned something from this

325
00:15:08,399 --> 00:15:13,120
retired educator from China. He told me

326
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:16,079
something. It's very easy to make

327
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:17,680
friends with people like you. It's easy

328
00:15:16,079 --> 00:15:19,440
to make friends who are people are

329
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:22,560
capable.

330
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:25,040
But you must make friend who people who

331
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:27,360
don't like you. Wow. It's a new lesson

332
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:29,199
to me. Why

333
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:32,399
you make sure that they didn't hinder

334
00:15:29,199 --> 00:15:36,079
your plan to succeed.

335
00:15:32,399 --> 00:15:39,680
You see William Kerry the first Baptist

336
00:15:36,079 --> 00:15:42,720
missionary I believe to India say this

337
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:44,720
expect great thing from God attempt

338
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,480
great thing from God. So you want to

339
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:49,279
attempt great thing for God the enemies

340
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:52,639
always put hurdles in your path. So you

341
00:15:49,279 --> 00:15:55,279
learn must learn to make friends.

342
00:15:52,639 --> 00:15:57,279
Another thing is that the sun art war

343
00:15:55,279 --> 00:16:01,519
okay you hear about that know your

344
00:15:57,279 --> 00:16:04,320
position you know yourself. Who are you?

345
00:16:01,519 --> 00:16:07,759
Where are you standing? You know who are

346
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:09,120
we? We are God's children. But some of

347
00:16:07,759 --> 00:16:12,000
us don't believe that we are God's

348
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:14,160
children. And then not just there, where

349
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:17,920
are we sitting? We are seated together

350
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:19,920
with him. Let's imagine today. Imagine

351
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:22,000
today you might not like President

352
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:24,399
Obama, but he invited you to have a

353
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,560
breakfast with him. Wow. First thing you

354
00:16:24,399 --> 00:16:29,040
tell your friends say, "Wow, what a

355
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:32,560
great honor to sit with him." You know

356
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:35,360
he want to tap on my brains you know but

357
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:37,360
God say come sit with me. What a great

358
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:40,320
honor. And we as a children of God we

359
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:43,279
forgot God asked us to sited with him.

360
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:46,480
And then how do we sit? We sit with

361
00:16:43,279 --> 00:16:49,199
everything under our feet. You know we

362
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:51,600
not often we watch TV but one TV show we

363
00:16:49,199 --> 00:16:55,440
watch is like the final match between

364
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:57,440
Ling Li Chongi and Lintan. You know the

365
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,120
match could go either way. You know, we

366
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,040
are just praying hard. God, please give

367
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:03,440
us the first golden gold medal in for

368
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:06,559
Malaysia. Of course, the China side pray

369
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:09,280
harder. They want

370
00:17:06,559 --> 00:17:12,160
it. It could go either way.

371
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:15,520
But we as Christian, we know the final

372
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:18,079
result. God is triumph. God is

373
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,760
victorious over the rest. But you ask,

374
00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:21,679
how come I facing a lot of problem

375
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:25,120
challenges?

376
00:17:21,679 --> 00:17:27,839
Is to mold you, make you stronger.

377
00:17:25,120 --> 00:17:30,720
You know the olive is pressed for the

378
00:17:27,839 --> 00:17:32,799
oil. You know the the flower are pressed

379
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:36,160
for his fragrance. You are being pressed

380
00:17:32,799 --> 00:17:37,760
for your good work. So thank God for

381
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,480
your

382
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:42,960
challenges because God can turn new

383
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:46,160
things. Put yourself in a position that

384
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:48,720
is risky. Then you can see God work.

385
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:52,080
When you do not do that, you say how God

386
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:56,440
don't answer prayer. So D. No. Huh? If

387
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:56,440
you Christian living very dynast

388
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:07,840
know your partner know not your your

389
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:13,039
life partner but your partner with God

390
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:15,440
and this is a wow wow wow verse for me

391
00:18:13,039 --> 00:18:18,480
Jeremiah 11:4 doesn't repeat many times

392
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:21,600
in other part of the Bible you be my

393
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:25,520
people I be your or Mr.

394
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:27,440
You're God. Okay.

395
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:30,080
Who stand to benefit most in this type

396
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:32,960
of relationship? You you have much to

397
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:37,200
offer to God or God have much to offer

398
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:39,840
to you. We stand there to benefit more.

399
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:41,840
And God say come.

400
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:44,400
And this is a it's a wow statement

401
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:47,840
because when you're bullied by God, hey,

402
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:50,400
who bully my little Johnny?

403
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:53,280
No, you bully is Israel. Now Israel

404
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:56,320
coming up and know God say who bully my

405
00:18:53,280 --> 00:19:00,080
Israel my pe my my chosen people

406
00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:02,720
we are the chosen people you often often

407
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:05,520
forget that it's a wow take down

408
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:08,720
Jeremiah 11:4

409
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:12,960
the title is mission impossible

410
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:15,919
how to reach out the word of God is this

411
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:19,280
just simple that you believe

412
00:19:15,919 --> 00:19:21,440
in him whom he sent the key words

413
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:23,120
believe

414
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,520
after they come up go out from this

415
00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:28,000
century you won't believe

416
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:30,640
but because we are often bombarded with

417
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:33,600
negative things

418
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:36,480
here is a better field

419
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:40,000
you make need to make your mind captive

420
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:42,160
your thoughts captive to the lordship

421
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:45,919
or Jesus Christ

422
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:48,240
because it's only to believe God donate

423
00:19:45,919 --> 00:19:52,559
your work

424
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:56,480
God doesn't need you but he want you

425
00:19:52,559 --> 00:20:00,400
just to believe in him who sent so to

426
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:04,000
finish the mission impossible I cannot

427
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:08,880
but God can things that are impossible

428
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:10,240
man are possible with God amen to that

429
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:14,880
statement

457
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:46,960
