an alcoholic and you spoke life to me every day i look forward to seeing you at work so i knew the risks hope when you spoke i needed to hear that i needed to hear that what i do does make a difference to somebody some place some time anybody ever need to hear that and then i start to remember the stor you know i got into addiction and they had some bad choices by being clean for thirty years now he's fifty two something like that i would a christian for only a couple years now tom you know what at that time i was a kid i didn't know what i was doing but i had a joy in me about jesus christ taken an atheist and loving on a navy is about to rebuild his love to me to get into a place to know jesus christ my lord and savior and then he put a fire in me to preach the gospel and i didn't have it all together of oh by the way i still don't have it all together asked susan see if anybody knows i don't have it all together i don't have it all together but you have jesus that's all i this is crazy he walked through a wall and then he eats with them how do you walk through a wall and then eat food i don't know but i love it because i'm going to be a be a be and have a need all i want and be able walk through walls and it won't matter what size pants i wear you know i don't know what heaven is like but i know there's going to be joy i know that we're going to be changed and we're going to have the true mind of christ twenty four hours a day seven days a week but if we're not excited about jesus or not overjoyed about jesus we're not worshiping jesus with us herself him even making it  if worship bothers me in my making it to heaven if spending time in prayer bothers me am i making it to heaven if i'm overtaken by sin and that controls me every day of the week am i making it to heaven we have to ask yourself do we have a relationship with jesus christ if we do others will know and that gentleman said to make can't wait to see i live in idaho hope you come some time really had that in much influence on that young man because of the because of jesus christ and then i tom i was a pastor and doing all this stuff and all this stuff as wow what an amazing story of what god has done in your it is an amazing story what god has done and then there is g s appears to thomas and the other disciples thomas many thomas is in the room be honest we have any every one of us deal with doubt they've you're looking for a spouse and god tells you to wait yeah about forty five years over the coming our way some old ladies i saw you last and the other night and you had knives in your hand for four hours you had knives in your hand sit at a table cutting up things dull that you're going to get a man that way all of us doubts about different things there's times i doubt god if you really called him i really do in your will he knew it was jesus no matter how much doubt you have of god speaks you know it's jesus you see i have  doubt at times and i really do what god wants me to do i have doubts that god's done with me here in seattle i want him to be done with me here in seattle i won't release it so the next one jesus appears at the sea of galilee their fishing interest in god just spoke to me just now just now saying rich why are you going out fishing why are you looking at me go some place to do what you like so much that's be in the country to be in the us why are encounter with them they know what he's done in the past they were with him remember they were with them he's done miracles in front of them he sent them out and it says that the seventy went out they came back as were amazed even the demoniac turn around and they get said three were amazed at what jesus c jesus can use us and yet they have all these encounters with jesus before he dies at the resurrection and jesus says that the disablement sixty miles away to the sea of galilee to do what fish sixty miles that time was the long this after the encounter with jesus they're going to do what fish because that's all they know and it says they fish and they fish and they fish but they're not catching any fish  you go and big you're supposed to do something and there's no fruit and there's no fruit whatsoever what do we do we still do it there's no fruit and we still do it program is i believe in revival i believe in revival i believe we need to be filled with all the spirit i believe we need to be a participate with got to change this community and i'm sticking with that program that program isn't changing but there are things that we go to that we stick with that isn't working we do that in our lives we could do the same things so they're fishing and jesus says to him hey cast your net on the other side in your kitchen fish and they don't know they did it anyways i don't know why why did they because we know they didn't know as jesus because when they do it they catch the fish then peter see jesus all g s us so when he said it they didn't know it was jesus but they did it anyway you know that sometimes you just do your suppose that it doesn't make any sense and know why i'm doing this from a do what i'm supposed to do because i'm supposed to do it and what happens god shows  runs and then jesus is cooking fish for him jesus still serving to jesus serve when he was on earth as a man does he serve after he's resurrected i'm not preparing the pope and you've got to prepare for me is that really is that really what pastors become i don't know i salts pastor and his wife here all night all morning doing what they needed to do to do a fun race or given of their time given of their energy they were too good to serve maybe never be too good to serve and maybe maybe never be too what are you up to you're not going to catch any fish because you're outside the will of god so just waste your time and i'm certain not going to do a miracle for you know none of your that way i'm different i know that i'm really peter gives in the commission he says guys listen to me there's something that's going to happen and you're going to be filled with the fullness of the holy spirit to be baptized holy spirit fire and something's going to change in your life and he tells them you got to go wait for it to happen and for some reason those rebellious people did what he  say before we get to that guess what happened jesus appears to over four or five hundred people jesus rebuilds themselves over five hundred people there is no doubt that jesus rose from the grave there's a five hundred people that saw him there talking about geez appears to   you hear me jesus is not going to reveal himself to the lost is not to reveal himself to the wicked until the church does what it needs to do and what the church needs to do is to be filled with this spirit the church needs to be on fire for god we cannot expect the lost busy the what jesus if we don't even appear that we know jesus listen if your every bill you is sin and you're doing that you shouldn't be doing and the last no what they don't want to hear about your jesus that young man that was sixteen years old i'm twenty four years old this is what i was twenty four years or you know what i was doing i had no idea what i was doing i just accepted geez i'm going to bible college actually i went to bible college i did a year year and a half of bible college and then i moved into an area and i've gone through different things i'm having to make choices in my life i'm going through some real trials but marriage was on the rocks my wife was sleeping with another woman and so i knew this i'm called to serve god i'm called to share the gospel and i did it with what i had to do to night and have a whole lot because you see i didn't know all that i should do to serve god i'm still trying to read the bible learned but i knew this i'm the love people so i love that person if i have been like many christians bitter angry resentful god i'm serving you and this is happening with my cast out demons they will speak a new togs they will pick up snakes in their hands if they drink any deadly thing it will not hurt them they will lay hands on the sick and they were recoveries says that in the last days those who believe in christ those will be filled with the spirit those they got i need all of you i want everything i can get have you got i need more of you those who warship god those who love god those who cry out god use me guess what he does he uses you he uses you do you want to be you drink of the same saul that jesus had when he looked at the nation of israel and he says they're lost he's crying out my people are lost he knows the people are going to kill him and  for that there's a poison that we need to start drinking up as the body of christ there's some snakes we need to handle there's some sick we need to pray for sick in their mind because what you speak is hopelessness when we have church people saying our hands are tied there's nothing we can do about the sin in this city in this community we need to speak new toms in for some of us we need tons of the spirit we need to speak a language we don't understand where spirit understands th bible says that those who are baptized only spear in speak in tongues it talks about a st career is st corinthians chapter fourteen and it talks about it in jude and it says that sometimes we pray in this spirit and sometimes we pray in our knowing languages as we pray in his spirit it builds us up and it lives us up and what is talking about is when you pray in the spirit that something stirs up within you build the fire then you don't have a fire because you're so busy cursing tons of freight of tog's worried about what tongues is all about you're missing the fire of god because you're goes you know what it's about and i'll tell you what when i got to go out the battle and i'm going to turn around and fight again something is of the devil i am going to it's certainly don't hurt you how does a gift from god hurt you there's the gift of tongues or the turp or taishan but i don't want to because as wacky as where because i don't understand it well ok throw out some of the gifts that you don't need but if you're going to go out you need everything there is but by the way that was all added on i was going to talk about that soul my goodness i'm in trouble and how i was not going to talk about the last one they went out went out and they took the sword of the spirit the word of god because there were some battles they had a goal now here's the truth of the matter some of you have a little ok you know a little bit about the word you know a little bit about god can god use you absolutely he can use you this if i was three months as a christian i'm teaching a youth group and i don't know but to serve jesus and yes i made a lot of mistakes and there's a lot of hell that i went through but you know what above jesus all my life even in the midst of all my tragedies and i didn't even have this little pocket knife a pocket knife but you know what god used me during that time with those you put something in that i will live a diaper people and that wasn't who i was before that time but god wants us to get the sword of the spirit and he wants us to be at a place to go to war fare and somebody need to come up and pick this up because this hurts carmi can't hold this this office is too heavy for her to hold you know what we need all of god there because you know we got some demons to come after you know what this is made for it's made a hole with two he ends because you've got some warfare to go and you know what you don't want the sword knocked out of you and what we need to do is a church whoever i don't care but we're going to battle and we need worship st we recognize whose are strange and so we go to warfare can our people come up all the address can you come up all of you come up cindy you cannot come up because i've got something else going on now after you get that costume so people come up what do they do they went out who do they go out to to the nations we have some nations come along come along here they went out just walk a long walk down the aisle they're good people groups are they reach every single people group they started going out anywhere and everywhere they touch everybody and anybody on up i see that people get whatever ok symeon city you know me enough a little bit wacky right ok all right so i'm safe with you whatever i say and do ok you know where you are increased in jesus in so she grabs this and all the sudden god speaks to because there are some people that we don't reach all the time the city's got this coat on one got a hat on and she's very m dresser she's lost her identity you know who she is you know we need to reach those people but we don't touch those people want to get around them because that spirit might jump on me because you know i don't know who my  pastors say that there's a man a god american mazing man of god he's from africa shared stories something other americans at the place they came to america but remember there was a church service one time in a church he was ministry and there was a bunch of people coming up and the you have been listening to me there is so with pastor richard over through jesus christ we can live a victorious life seattle
