[00:00:07] Speaker A: Let's go. I greet you all in the wonderful name of Jesus Christ. Amen. Quickly turn to your neighbor and say, I thought I looked good today, but then I saw you.
Come on.
Beautiful.
Welcome to church. Welcome to km.
This could be a good time in the presence of God. Thank you, Pastor Roman, the senior leadership team. You guys have been such incredible hosts, man.
Wow. This is. I'm not a guest here. I'm family. And I really feel like I've become a son of the house, a son of Roman. He's walked with me some of the lowest times in my life and also when the Lord began to bring things up. So I love you guys so much. This is my people. This is somehow we're a part of your church and a part of, just a part of the same church. And I love you guys so much. So it's gonna be a good time in the presence of God. Amen.
I told the last service that one of the things that I love about Kingdom Movement is that every Sunday morning service is like the last day of youth camp.
And I share that. And I don't know if they like spread the word, but it looks like you guys took it as a challenge because this second service has been crazy, man. Praise the Lord. I wanna do this real quick. I wanna obey God. I wanna share everything that I shared before. But many people don't know this. I haven't shared this from the pulpit much.
But as I married my beautiful, hot and holy, my current and only beautiful wife, Mira, right here, we got married. But the first two or three weeks of our marriage was one of the scariest times I've ever lived in. I'm gonna kinda sum it up real quick, but this is for someone here right now in the first two or three weeks of our marriage. And even before our marriage, there was a witch trying to destroy our marriage before it even started. I don't wanna get into all the details, but after a service, this lady came up to me. I made sure there was other people present and she opens up this journal and says, I've been fasting about you. I've been praying for you for months. Every dream, every vision, every prophecy that God has given me, I've written it down. And she begins to share.
Although you love this girl, if you marry Mira, she's gonna manipulate you and destroy your marriage and begins to spew all of this garbage and starts going through all this demonic stuff and none of it was landing. And she starts to saying, you know what? I actually had a vision. Imagine this. You are sitting in your room and you're thinking about me. And guess what, Alex, I know you like me. Just wild, wild, wild stuff.
And I began to rebuke her and I said, I don't receive anything that comes out of your mouth. And she's like, no, I have more, I have more. I said, I don't wanna hear it. I rebuked her and I told her not to come back to our gatherings.
And she came again the next week. And right before I'm about to preach, she's standing behind me and I start experiencing this fear that this woman is gonna poison me, hurt me, try to kill me. And couple weeks later we get married, we go to our honeymoon and. And I open up my email at night and I'm reading 20, 30 plus emails of these demonic words and demonic prophecies and not a single one of them hit. And so I read this in my email. Alex, Pastor Alex, I see you dying and I see you dying very soon. In my bedroom, right there at the honeymoon, fear gripped my heart. As I go to sleep, I have this dream of me going to preach in a city and. And this woman comes out in my dream. I rebuke her, she runs away. And in the dream I sit down to go to bed in my dream, and I can feel her knocking on the windows, coming in to try to kill me. This steps into about two weeks. Also in light of what happened with Charlie Kirk. I know this is a little bit heavy, but this is going to be for someone before we step into what God wants to do. For two weeks, as I flew home and we're living in our new home for. For two weeks, I'm having these demonic intrusive thoughts as I'm staying in my house that someone's gonna break into my house and kill me. I'm trying to connect with my wife for two weeks straight.
My door is right behind me and as I'm trying to talk to her, she's talking to me. Blank stare. I'm imagining someone breaking into my home and shooting me or killing me. It was killing my sleep and the spirit of death was following me. But how many of you guys know that the Bible says the weapon may be formed, but it shall not prosper. I've never experienced fear like this. But as my wife stood me, we declared scripture. It was as simple as this. I got together with another married couple. I said, guys, for two weeks I've had intrusive thoughts of someone coming into our home and killing us. I got down on my knees. They prayed A simple prayer over me. I said, I have faith is gonna break off right now and it's never coming back. They prayed a civil prayer. I didn't even feel anything. But I got back up and was totally set free from the fear of death of someone coming in. Come on, put your hands together for Jesus.
Jesus is still setting people free today.
And there's someone in here right now. This is why I'm sharing this. We're going to get into what we're going to get into. But yet there's a spirit of death following you. You're afraid of dying. You're afraid of someone harming you. You're afraid you're going to harm yourself or you're afra. You're gonna harm someone else today. In a moment I'm gonna ask you just. I know it's bold, I know it's wild. I'm gonna ask you to raise your hand whether it's insomnia, fear, fear of death, fear of the future, just heavy fear is gonna break off of you in a moment. And here, this is for the gentlemen who bear arms and are good Americans. I went from being afraid of someone breaking into like, eh, it's not too bad if someone breaks in.
Okay, that's just for the brothers, but I want you to raise your hand if that's you right now.
If you've been having this fear, fear of death, fear of someone harming you, you harming someone. I want you to raise your hand. Anything having to do with insomnia, trouble sleeping, anybody else, Just an intrusive, dark fear. More than you can handle. Anybody else. I see you, sister. Just keep your hand raised. There's a couple more of you. We're gonna just pray real quick. God's gonna break it off if that's you. I see people right here as well. Intrusive thoughts of death, suicide, someone harming you, or you harming someone else, Raise your hand if you. If you see somebody raising their hand. Can you please stretch out your hand now, Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we break off the spirit of fear and the spirit of death. You did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind. You, spirit of death, you, spirit of fear, you, you, spirit of insomnia. Leave them right now. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, your perfect love casts out all fear. So we come against every evil spirit. We break your grip, we break your power. And we declare the peace of the Lord Jesus Christ come upon you in Jesus mighty name. Somebody say amen.
Come on freedom, I want to continue and testify. About a year and a half ago, my beautiful wife and I were here before we were dating. And we asked you guys, as we, we asked you to bless us, pray for us, and cover us as we go out to Ethiopia to preach the gospel. And so I want to thank you guys. We're going to celebrate together. I'm going to show you this video that makes my wife look like a way better preacher than I am. And I'm going to share some awesome testimonies because you partnered with us financially and, and saw mighty miracles in Ethiopia. Can you play that video that makes my wife look cool?
[00:07:42] Speaker B: Today is the day that you will receive.
Jesus is the only one who can save you. You can have all the accomplishments, you can have all the certificates, but if you do not have Jesus Christ, you will perish. We are not here to tell you about a religion, but we are here to tell that you must put on the Lord Jesus Christ.
[00:08:11] Speaker A: The Holy Spirit is not a reward you get for being holy.
[00:08:14] Speaker C: You do not have to beg for
[00:08:16] Speaker A: something that is a gift.
[00:08:17] Speaker C: The Bible says that the Holy Spirit is for you. It is for your children, it is for your children's children. And to all of those who are
[00:08:27] Speaker A: called by the Lord Jesus.
[00:08:29] Speaker B: For six months, this mama was bleeding without stopping. And after we prayed, she received full healing. Hallelujah.
[00:08:39] Speaker A: Come on, praise the Lord.
This is what you're a part of when you're a part of this family. We are reaching not just Vancouver, the Portland area, but even the nations of the world for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Amen. Over four nights, we saw an estimated 88,000 people in attendance. With the final night, about 40,000 or so people came out to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ. We took in 17,000 decision cards, people that that pray to receive Jesus Christ or rededicate their lives to Jesus. We saw crazy miracles. Like one of them, a woman had a tumor inside of her breast for years. And after we prayed, the tumor completely disappeared and she was set free. Praise the Lord.
As my wife was praying deliverance from the stage, there were many people that began to experience deliverance. There was a little girl that fell on the floor, began to roll around on the ground. They took her to the deliverance tent. She gets fully set free and shares on stage that she hasn't felt or tasted joy in years. But when the demon left her, she felt the peace of God come upon her and she was absolutely set free. The gospel still works today. Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forevermore. If you believe that, say hallelujah.
Come on, we got some, we got some preachers in here. Open up real quick to First Corinthians, chapter 2, verses 2 through 5. This is what we're gonna, we're gonna do this evening. I'm gonna preach on the Holy Spirit. I'm gonna share some evangelism stories where the Holy Spirit empowered me and others to see people saved, healed and delivered. And then at the end of service, there is gonna be an opportunity for impartation.
There's going to be an opportunity for us to be filled with the Holy Spirit and power to go out and to be bold witnesses for Jesus. Are you guys ready?
First Corinthians, chapter 2, verses 2 through 5. For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and am crucified. I was with you in weakness, in fear and in much trembling in my speech and my preaching, or not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in the demonstration of the Spirit and of the power so that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
Apostle Paul says, when I came to you, I didn't have a beautiful message. I didn't have a beautiful five point sermon. I came simply preaching Jesus Christ and him crucified and him resurrected. And after I preached that message, I relied on the Holy Spirit to demonstrate the power in the Spirit of God. This is good news. You know why? Because it's not about how beautiful you present in the message of the gospel. The Gospel in and of itself is the power of God unto salvation. I've heard of stories and I've seen it. 88 year old lady leading people to Jesus and she's fumbling and stumbling on her words. Why? Because the incorruptible word of God works. Whether you're confident or or not. The gospel is the power of God.
In fact, I was just going with my baby sister. She's about 11 years old. We were on the streets of Seattle at the Jesus march. She says, I want to evangelize. We start walking around. We went to the smelly, not the smelliest, excuse me, we went to someone that was smelling like marijuana and this 11 year old girl, my little sister's coming with me and we're preaching to this guy about Jesus. And we got to see one gentleman give his life to Jesus. She's 11 years old and she's watching this and praying with me to see these people come to Jesus. Can you put Up Romans chapter 1, verse 16?
The gospel is the very Power of God. And what my message is about today is why every believer needs the Holy Spirit. We need to preach the message, but we also need the power of the Holy Spirit to be demonstrated. I heard evangelist Nathan Morris. He says this. Throw the word out and then hide behind it and believe that God is going to do something. This is what we're doing when we share our faith. We're throwing the word out that God loves you. He died on the cross. He rose from the dead. He's alive today. And when you throw that word out, you just get behind it and you watch God begin to move.
Romans 1:16 on the board, please. For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ. For it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes. For the Jew first, and also for the Greek, the gospel is the power of God. Can we get the picture of Max before Jesus?
This guy's name is Max. I'm going to share one of the most incredible stories.
A couple years ago, we went to go preach inside of a high school. And during the club, we saw around 10 people make decisions for Christ in a high school, during public school hours. But after this, we stepped out of the club and we started walking around the auditorium and we started asking people about Jesus. What do they think? I come up to this guy that was living a homosexual lifestyle. The Lord starts giving me a word of knowledge that he was hurt by his father and it's why he's living the lifestyle he is. He starts weeping as I'm praying, praying for him right there in the auditorium. We're praying for people, the football players. They throw this African American guy at us. And he says, hey, this guy goes to church or this guy wants Jesus, take him. So he comes up and he says, there's something about you guys. I want whatever it is that you have. We start praying for him. And I tell people we weren't watching Benny Hinn the night before. But as we pray for him, he immediately starts speaking in tongues and falls out on the floor. We're picking him up, he falls down. We're picking him up. And he's praying in the Spirit and getting baptized in the Spirit in high school, during high school hours. Watch this. We keep on walking around, and I come up to this guy right here, Max. I start telling him about Jesus. And he says, wait a minute. I'm confused. What do you think about this? My wife or my wife, my mother is a homosexual pastor. And I'm confused. Is that okay? Is it not? I go to this church, do I Leave, like, what do I do?
And I said that, yes, that is a sin. Homosexuality is a sin. And if we don't repent and put our faith in Christ, any sin will take us to hell. And even after I shared this with him, he says, you know what? I want this. What do I need to do? Right there. He receives Jesus Christ as his Lord and savior. That week, he gets into a wrestling accident where he messes up his jaw. I take him to a church up north in a pursuit church. The first word of knowledge that's released from the pastor is, there's someone in here with jaw pain. He immediately starts weeping. At church, I pray for him. His jaw gets healed and he starts experiencing the power and the presence of Jesus Christ. Come on, put your hands together for Jesus.
I faithfully discipled this guy for two years. I got to baptize him on the streets of Seattle. Dreams during a Jesus march. And can you. Can you put the next picture of Mr. Max. Max after Jesus, a lot happier now. He's faithfully serving at a church as a worship leader and following Jesus and preaching the gospel. Put your hands together for Jesus.
There's more. His brother comes to one of our gatherings, gets filled with the Holy Spirit, trembling and shaking as he's speaking in tongues. We baptize him at church. His sister just got baptized a couple months ago. And get this. Lock in, lock in, twin. Watch this for the youngins.
Just a couple months ago, his mom, who was a homosexual pastor, repented for that lifestyle, left that church, broke up with the lady that she was living with. She was on testosterone, growing a mustache, stopped taking all the pills, rejected that lifestyle, and she was even kicked out of her denomination because she didn't support LGBQT anymore.
This is the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
This is what he does. This is what he's going to do for you today.
You know, most of us understand that if the devil is not confronted, that there is going to begin to happen a chain reaction of darkness and destruction. Like if you don't confront the devil with Jesus Christ, there's going to begin to be a chain reaction of whatever you dealt with is going to hit those around you. It might hit your family, your kids and your kids. Kids. We understand that this is real, that if the devil is not confronted, there is a chain reaction. You know why? Because the devil does not wait until hell to put you through hell. Some of you, as you're hearing me preach, you're going through hell right now. I can't even imagine the things you're going through because the devil isn't waiting for you to die, to take you through brokenness, depression, suicidal thoughts, sin, addictions. And we believe that. But I've come to tell you something else in Vancouver this evening. That just as the devil doesn't wait until hell to put you through hell, Jesus is not waiting until heaven to put you through heaven. That if the devil can start a chain reaction in your family, I tell you when you give your life to Jesus and when you get filled with the Holy Ghost, your family's gonna get saved. Those around you are gon get saved. Because God is not waiting until heaven to do something about your situation right now. He's not waiting until later. But today you can be the first fruits of what God is going to begin to do. You might be the first one in your family that's gotten off of drugs. I tell you what, you're not the last one. You might be the first one that's got off of alcohol and the first one that hasn't had a divorce in your family. Guess what? It's not going to end there, but it's going to go through you, go through your children in Jesus name.
Up to this point, some of you have been walking under the curse of the devil. You're walking as your parents, that spirit of divorce and all these different things, the drunkenness, the accidents has followed you. But today it bumps into you and Christ lives inside of you. And that chain is breaking, that curse is lifting off. And you will go from glory to glory, strength to strength, faith to faith, and from victory to victory. If you believe it. Somebody say amen.
Come on. It's hitting you, but Christ is inside of you and it stops at you. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
About a year and a half ago I was flying from Sacramento back to Seattle. I just got up, got my Delta points a little up, so I was feeling kind of nice and they ended up bumping me up to first class. I was like, oh wait, come on, let's go. And I was super excited and it's kind of cool, but it's like it's a one and a half hour flight's not that cool. But I was super pumped. I sit right there in the seat. I'm getting real cozy in my first class seat. There's not even a tv. I'm like, this is not even first class. Whatever.
As I'm sitting there, the Holy Spirit says, alex, are you going to be any different in first class than when you are in business class?
I was like, oh, no. I know exactly what God is asking me to do. To those of you who don't know me, I don't know why God makes me do this or ask me to do this, but I've probably publicly preached the gospel on airplanes more than 20 times. But for whatever reason, I'm sitting there, you know, as soon as the plane lands. Welcome to Portland. It's 45 degrees here. Look to the left. You know, as soon as that ends, I open air, preach, and I try to get the gospel to people. But for whatever reason, I know first class people are humans too. You know, we're all, I'm a human as well. You're humans as well. But I was nervous. I'm literally trembling and shaking. And I know as soon as the plane lands, I need to preach the gospel. Literally trembling, shaking. God, why? Why this time? Why first class? Please fill me with the Holy Spirit. And after I experienced the presence of God, the plain lands, I began to. I stood up and preached the gospel. Hey, I don't want to interrupt you guys, but I just want to let you know God has demonstrated his love for you in this. He proved it by dying on a cross, by being raised from the dead. He's alive today. He loves you. And I don't always do this, but we went to church on that airplane, and I did an altar call. I said, if you want to receive Jesus Christ, pray this prayer with me. I said, dear Jesus, dear Jesus, I come to you today. I come to you today. I believe. And I could swear I'm hearing someone saying the prayer with me. I get off the plane, and as soon as I almost get off, the stewardess pulls me aside right before we get next to the cockpit. He says, whoa, you're crazy. Why would you do that? And I'm like, oh, my goodness, they caught me. They're gonna cut up my Delta card. They're taking my points away. I'm never gonna smell first class tickets again.
And I'm just stressed out. And she's like, man, you're crazy. And I'm like, I'm sorry. I felt like I had to share that. Her name is Allie. And she tells me, you know what? I listened to every single word that came out of your mouth. And when you prayed that prayer, that was me. I was praying that prayer to receive Jesus Christ. Put your hands together for Jesus.
Watch this. Can you play the. The quick video of. Of Allie?
She just so happens to live in Seattle. We invite her to one of our services. I believe Pastor Roman Was preaching.
Come on.
So she just so happens to live.
She just so happens to live in Seattle. We invite her to our service. She experiences the presence of God. Couple months later, she gets baptized and plugged in to a local church and is still following Jesus to this day. You know why? Because the Gospel is the power of God unto salvation to all that believes. Somebody say hallelujah.
And you know what? I was just like Paul in First Corinthians, chapter 2. I was trembling, I was shaking, I was fearful. And I want to tell you today, if you are fearful to share your faith, if you're afraid, if you actually literally tremble, you're in good company. Because I still tremble. Paul was trembling, Peter was trembling. In fact, Peter was so afraid, he denied Jesus in front of a little girl and ran away.
You're in good company. You know what changes everything, Peter? Paul received the power of the Holy Spirit. The man who denied Jesus three times, preaches one service and sees 3,000 people come into the kingdom of God. Some of you guys, you felt the shame of like I didn't share my faith. In James, it says this. He who knows what is good to do and doesn't do it. It is sin to them.
Those of us who know we should share. We know we have the gospel. We know it works. We go to church. We've experienced it ourselves and we haven't done it ourselves. The Bible says it's sin to those.
But I tell you, just like Jesus restored Peter after denying Jesus, he's gonna restore you wherever you felt shame. I didn't do it. I didn't step out. I heard that voice. I didn't do it. Jesus is going to restore you as he did to Peter. And I believe that for some of you literally will have a thousand x multiplication, just like Peter. From denying Jesus in front of girl three times to preaching to over 3,000 people. If you believe that, somebody say hallelujah.
Come on. This is what Jesus Christ is doing. In the book of Timothy, it says, I forget what, what past, what, what chapter. But it says, in the last days there will be a people that have a form of godliness but deny the very power thereof. It's an end times warning. In the last days, people will look Christian, talk Christian, they'll even speak in tongues, but cuss with that same mouth. They'll speak in tongues and talk to their wife in a rude manner. There are people in the last day that will have a form of godliness, but they'll deny the power that is active to save them. And Transform them, and in turn, it stops the power from reaching other people.
This is the Christianity that the world has a problem with. A form of godliness, but no actual power.
A form of godliness, but you haven't been transformed yourself. A form of godliness, but you don't actually see anything change in you and nothing actually happens through you. But I praise God that I'm in a church that isn't like that. I'm looking at a people that have a form of godliness and do affirm and accept the power of God, of people that actually walk out, preach the gospel, pray for the sick and seeing delivered. Somebody say amen.
Hallelujah. You know, I'm speaking this evening. I'm not speaking to ministers or pastors because at Kingdom Movement, we believe every single member is a minister in this house. Are you a mama? Are you a businessman? Do you have a job? Do you run a business? Not everyone is called to the gift of evangelism. To pray, preach before stadiums. But all of us are called to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Come on. And it's time to just. It's time to just get available and allow God to do it through us. I want you to listen. This isn't for the minister. This is for every single member. Mama, you could preach the gospel.
Businessman. You could preach the gospel and see people saved. I used to work a painting job. And man, I found the most creative ways to share our faith. We're out eating teriyaki with some islander guys that I worked with on our painting company. We're start talking about fish. Cause they're fishing a lot on the island. I'm like, bro, you know, there's a story in the Bible where Jesus multiplied. Multiplied fish. Like what? That's crazy. I start sharing about that, then I get to the gospel. But what's even cooler than that is that he died for you. He rose from the dead family. Let's begin to get creative.
Anywhere, anytime God can use you to share your faith.
There's people that come to your door. I remember someone was installing a fridge or something at our house. And I'm just dropping the gospel on him because God is not looking for. I'll say it like this. Some of you are waiting for divine appointments. But God's purpose is that you would become a divine appointment.
You're waiting for things to line up. You're waiting for everything. For someone to ask you things, for things to come together. But I tell you, God's desire is that you would be a walking divine appointment. That Whoever comes in front of your path, they would get Jesus. Come on. Isn't Jesus worthy to be shared? Has he not set us free? Has he not given us a joy inexpressible and full of glory? What else would we talk about? What else would we do? Jesus asked the disciples, are you also going to go? He says, is the gospel not. Is it not exciting enough for you?
And I believe Peter turns to Jesus and he says, jesus, where else would we go when you have the words of eternal life? We got nothing else to talk about. We got nothing else to sing about. We got nothing else to do, because you are the king and the Lord of our hearts. Somebody say hallelujah.
Come on. Jesus is so good. Can we play the video of the beach Video? But don't turn sound on. The video is a little bit too long, but I want to share this as well.
Just keep it on. No sound.
Maybe a year and a half ago, we were preaching on the beach. This. This lady, she was drunk. That's her husband, her boyfriend on the side. She was listening to the preaching. And I come up to her, and I begin to minister the love of God. This was in Seattle. And I came up to her and I said, hey, what. What if Jesus healed. Healed you today? She had a little wristband on. She said, what? I said, yeah, what if Jesus was to heal you right now? She says, what? He can do that? I put my hand on her wristband and begin to pray. She said it was about a 10 pain. Her husband is saying, she's always nagging me. She's working hard at work, washing dishes, and her hands are worse than carpal tunnel. It's a terrible pain in her wrist. I'm praying for her as you're watching the video. And she gets healed. And she says, you know what? Can you take it off?
I wasn't telling her. She said, can I take it off? She starts testing it out in the video. She says, it's completely gone. She turns to her husband.
She says, look, it's completely gone.
No more pain right there. I pray for her. She's experiencing the presence of God. And later in the video, if it shows, I turn to her husband, and I'm like, hey, do you have any pain or sickness in your body? He says, my back.
Killing me all the time. It's. It's killing me. It's like at a 5 or 6, sometimes it gets up to an 8. I pray for him right there on the beach. And you're gonna watch it as it. As it progresses here. Maybe Skip it a little bit. Do you have any pain? But as I'm praying for him right now, I finished praying for him, the pain totally goes away, and he starts jumping around. You're gonna see in a moment, he's going up and down the stairs.
[00:30:18] Speaker D: But how is your back?
[00:30:18] Speaker A: It's fully healing. You're gonna watch him. This. This cute little Asian man. He's gonna hug me after.
Look at that.
[00:30:27] Speaker D: Come on, man.
Yeah, he's getting healed. I know you think this is crazy.
[00:30:32] Speaker A: Can you put volume on now from this part?
[00:30:36] Speaker D: Oh, thank you, Lord. We thank you. All the pain down to a zero. No pain. No pain. No pain. I could not touch my toes before. I could never. It was slow. Thank you, bro.
[00:30:46] Speaker A: What's going on, bro?
[00:30:47] Speaker D: Amen.
[00:30:48] Speaker A: Amen.
[00:30:49] Speaker D: Thank you, Lord. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
[00:30:53] Speaker A: What's going on, bro?
[00:30:54] Speaker D: I'm feeling good. You feeling good? I'm feeling good. So you couldn't touch your toes? I could not touch my toes. And you said that it was like a five right now, a ten at bad points. And what are you feeling right now? I'm feeling good.
Today. Jesus is knocking on the door of your heart. He loves you enough to draw Victoria
[00:31:08] Speaker A: here, to draw you here.
[00:31:10] Speaker D: He loves you enough to. To heal you. But he wants to do a deeper work than just healing your body. He wants to heal your heart, your spirit. I think he healed me for a reason. Amen. I want this. I want to make you the king of my life. See, that's the key right there. I don't know how to do it, but I want to. But I want to. You're willing to pray a prayer like
[00:31:25] Speaker A: that with me today?
[00:31:26] Speaker D: Okay, I want you to just pray with me. Just say, dear Jesus. Dear Jesus, I come to you today. I come to you today as a sinner. As a sinner in need of salvation. In need of salvation. I can't save myself. I can't save myself. I don't know how to do this. I don't know how to do this. But I'm going to turn away from my sins. I'm going to turn away from my sins. And I believe. I believe. And I confess you right now. I confess you right now. As my Lord and Savior. As my Lord and Savior.
[00:31:48] Speaker A: Fill me.
[00:31:49] Speaker D: Fill me and lead me. And lead me in Jesus name. In Jesus name. Amen. Amen. That's it, man.
If you really believe it, man.
[00:32:01] Speaker A: Come on. This is what Paul was talking about in the passage I shared. In the beginning.
I came with fear and trembling. Just Preaching the message and believing that God would bring a demonstration of that power and of that spirit. Can you bring up 2 Corinthians, chapter 12, verses 9? If you're watching these videos and you're hearing these testimonies like, I could never do that, I tremble. My speech isn't good. My language might not even be good. I'm gonna share something with you that completely transformed my life. This experience I had with God almost five years ago now. Just keep it up there, please. Almost five years ago, there was. The Ukrainian war started. And it broke my heart watching the news on my phone and on the tv, and I wasn't very good at trades and all these different things that they were helping people with. But I knew that I loved to preach the gospel. So me and my. My now wife, my current wife, my only wife, we went there before we were dating with a large team from CAM as well, when we're preaching in Ukraine. But now I want you to pause there and follow me here. The week before I go to Ukraine to preach the gospel with our teams, I show up to Dollar Tree, and I don't feel like a baller in a lot of places, but at Dollar Tree, I feel pretty good. And so I'm loading up the things. I'm buying stuff for the kids. And then there's an African American lady standing right in front of me. And I said, hey, let me take care of it. And she's like, no, no, no, no. I'm like, come on, I got it. Trust me, I'll take care of it.
And so she was like, no, she rejected it. But after we start a conversation outside, and she says, you know what? I'm a worship leader at a church, but I'm a drunk. I've been drinking. It's ruining my marriage, my relationships, and, man, I need Jesus. I'm praying for her right there. She's beginning to experience the love of Jesus Christ. A Kenyan African man comes up and he's like, cheering her up, too. And I finished praying for her. She leaves. And then I turn to the Kenyan man. I said, what about you? Do you have a relationship with Jesus Christ? He says, I'm from Kenya. It's a Christian country. I said, that's not what I asked. Do you have a relationship with Jesus Christ? He says, I don't know. I began to share the love of God, and I said, are you willing to turn today? Do you want to believe and turn to Jesus Christ? He says, I want to, but I got cigarettes and alcohol inside of my car. I Don't know if I can. I said, if you're willing, you can choose to repent and follow Jesus right now.
He says, let's do it. Let's go to my car. And as we're going to the car, it's like all of a sudden, he goes partially blind. As we're looking for the cigarettes, he's like, looking in the car. He's. I. I don't. I do not know what they are. I do not know. And we just. We can't find the cigarettes. But at some point. At some point, he. He. He kind of sounded a little bit like Tinashe, my brother.
He finds the cigarettes. And then. You guys won't believe this. He goes for his. He had a. He had a little can of beer. And he says, one second, sir.
He finishes that thing. And I'm like, oh, my goodness. We'll just disciple that. Disciple it out of him later, you know.
But he tosses it, and I start praying for him. I don't tell him to do anything. He gets on his knees, and as I'm praying for him, he starts manifesting demons. He starts shaking and growling. And as I'm praying for him, I'm casting demons out of him outside of Dollar Tree, and he's spitting and throwing up demons right there on the floor. He gets full, fully set free. He stands up and hugs me. His name is Gabriel, which means messenger of God. I start prophesying that he's gonna begin to preach the gospel himself and share his faith.
He gets totally set free. And he says, you must come to my apartment. I'm like, oh, my goodness. I started recording. Cause I'm like, if this is how I go out, like, I better record it. And I'm like, guys, I'm driving to this guy's apartment. If I get smoked, I don't know, like, remember me. Preach Jesus.
Get to the apartment. I'm praying for his roommates, ministering to them. A couple days later. I didn't share this in first service. A couple days later, I do a Bible study with him over the phone on John chapter one, about the baptism of the Holy Spirit. And I said, we're gonna pray right now, and God's gonna give you the gift of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues. Over a phone call with Gabriel, he starts speaking in tongues and receives the baptism of the Holy sp. Spirit. Put your hands together for Jesus.
So I want you to follow me. We were talking about Ukraine. This is what the week looked like before I got to Ukraine. I'M confident. I'm preaching the gospel. I'm seeing lives changed. I'm being led by the spirit. I'm going to people's apartments, like, this is what it looked like. And now I'm in Ukraine. And the team asks me because I'm. I was born in Ukraine. They asked me, can you preach in Ukrainian and can you translate in Ukrainian? And I'm really insecure about my Ukrainian. It's very broken. And the first couple days as we're ministering, we're going in and out of trains, preaching and telling people about Jesus that are fleeing the war, leaving to Poland and the other nations of Europe. And I'm fumbling over my words. I'm trembling, shaking, sweating like I am right now. I'm just so nervous. And I'm seeing, like, no fruit telling these people about Jesus. I can't get the language to them. I can't, like, articulate the gospel in Ukrainian like I can in English. And it breaks my heart. The next morning, during devotionals, I'm praying and I'm crying out to God. I'm like, God, I cannot preach in Ukrainian. And if I'm talking to these people that might never hear the gospel again, some of them will die in their sins because I can't speak Ukrainian, because I can't get the message to them, God, if you don't do it through me, people will never know you.
[00:37:39] Speaker C: God, please, you have to do something.
[00:37:41] Speaker A: You have to fill me up or send someone else. I cannot do it. My heart was breaking. My people are dying. They're leaving the war. They might never hear about Jesus again.
And that morning, as I'm praying and weeping, the Lord speaks to me this verse as he told Paul.
He said, alex, my grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.
The Holy Spirit began to come upon me in that room. I began to weep. And honestly, it was not what I wanted to hear. It was, you have everything you need.
I've given you my Holy Spirit. And I've been waiting until you are weak enough for me to use you, those of you who are restricted by language or you're afraid, you're trembling, you're shaking. You are in good company, my friend.
This is what happened. The next day, they had me translating and preaching. I preached and translated in Ukrainian to over 15 full buses of people leaving Ukraine to another country.
Hundreds of people hearing the gospel, many of them responding to receive Jesus Christ, many of them being healed in their body. If you told me, do it right now, Alex, I couldn't do it. But when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, the things that were hard, the things that were impossible, become possible with God. Do you feel limited, Mama? Do you feel limited, businessman? Do you feel limited, student? When the Holy Spirit comes upon your natural, it becomes supernatural. I'm looking at a people that the Holy Spirit's going to come upon. And you might say, I don't know how God's going to use you.
[00:39:20] Speaker C: That's the very qualification.
[00:39:22] Speaker A: To be used by God is to be weak.
And that's what we're going to pray about. In a moment we're going to say, God, I can't do it, but I want to be bold. Fill me with your Holy Spirit. I want to carry the joy of the Holy Spirit.
And that power is going to come upon you and you're never going to be the same. The kingdom of God consists of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. Not only are you going to receive power this evening, you're going to receive the joy for the ride. You're going to enjoy doing this.
In fact, some of you this evening, you're going to catch the secret that Jesus found.
Jesus was crossing a.
He was crossing water in the boat. And the disciples asked him. They said, hey, did you grab some bread with you? Did you eat? He says, yes, I've had something to eat. They said, we didn't. We never saw you grab any bread or any food. And he says to them, my will is to do the will of the Father. Or my. My bread is to do the will of the Father.
You know what the secret is that Jesus found it's actually satisfying and fulfilling to do the work of God.
Some of you guys, you look at like what I'm doing. You're like, I could never do that. When you lead someone to the Lord like that and you step out when you find the secret that Jesus found that it's satisfying to do the will of God, there's nothing like watching someone weep in the presence of God. There's nothing like seeing someone get delivered of demons. I tell you, that's what's going to begin to happen in this place. You're going to find that secret that as everyone else is getting tired. As soon as you share that faith with someone, it's going to fill you up. You're going to get excited for the next one. Come on. The Bible says that even youth shall faint. Even youth shall get tired. But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up on wings like eagles. They shall Run and not grow weary. Everyone else will be getting tired, but you'll be so in love, so full of the joy of God, where you're going to keep on moving, keep on seeing. Come, people, come to Jesus Christ. If that's you in this place, you take that by faith.
[00:41:32] Speaker C: Say amen.
[00:41:35] Speaker A: Hallelujah. We need the Holy Spirit. Jesus is worthy of our lives.
Jesus is worthy to be preached. There's no one like Jesus, no one more kind, no one more good, no one more loving than Jesus. And the Bible says that when you believe on him, you become his ambassador, which means you are a representative of a different king and of a different kingdom. And the word of God says, it's as if Christ himself is speaking through you, imploring through you. Be reconciled to God. You're a representative of a kingdom with different laws and different rules. In that kingdom, sickness cannot stand. In that kingdom, demons cannot stand. In that kingdom, the devil's power cannot stand. And so you're not going to wait for divine appointments. God is going to make you a divine appointment. You're not going to wait around for something to happen, for things to align, but you're going to represent the kingdom of God.
And I'm so happy that the Bible says that the kingdom of God doesn't just consist of talk.
You're not going to just talk about Jesus. Jesus didn't even just talk about the Father.
[00:42:49] Speaker C: He talked about it. He talked about the Father, he preached
[00:42:53] Speaker A: the Word and then he demonstrated the word of God.
That's what's gonna happen in you. This is what I'm believing this evening. Not that you would think highly of yourself or you would become just more confident, but that you would become confident in the Gospel. That is the power of God. And that actually works, that we become like Paul. You're gonna throw the word, he's good. He loves you. He died for you. He rose from the dead. He can change your life, and you're gonna hide behind it. And God's gonna begin to do his work.
Someone say Amen.
I'm gonna share one more story. We're gonna begin to pray. How many guys are believing for a touch from the Holy Spirit?
Come on. You know when Pentecost happened? The Bible says that each of them, all of the 120, received a flame over their head.
Do you know that like your fingerprint, no two fingerprints are the same? Just like no two flames can ever be the same, there is an individual flame for you. Today.
I'm believing that you would catch boldness to preach the gospel. But some of you, when the Holy Spirit drops into this place, he's going to cause you to begin to prophesy. For some of you, he's going to begin to bless you and use you to pray for the sick and see people restored. For some of you, you're going to receive a grace for deliverance. For some of you, God's going to give you a grace to reconcile families, bring divorced families back together. The Bible says you've been given the spirit of reconciliation.
Some people in this room, God has given you the gift. He's given you the grace to see families come back together.
Isn't it great? I can preach my whole heart out about boldness.
And we're going to pray, and that's going to happen, too. But God loves you so much. There's going to be more than that.
There's so much more than that. Some of you are going to receive a distinct flame from the Holy Spirit.
Are you weak? Are you afraid? Are you trembling?
Great.
Now it's time for the Holy Spirit to come upon us.
The gospel is power, but the message was never meant for you to carry it alone. We were meant to walk in relationship with the Holy Spirit.
Kathryn Coleman, a mighty healing evangelist would say, I do not use the Holy Spirit. I yield to the Holy Spirit.
We're not going to use the Holy Spirit for power. The Holy Spirit's purpose is not to make you a better minister or leader or a better businessman. The Holy Spirit is for you to glorify Jesus, and we're going to yield to that Spirit. Somebody say amen.
We cannot go and preach and minister and love on others unless we first have received the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus says, do not go until you've received that power.
Don't leave the city, don't move on until you've received the power of the Holy Spirit.
Reinhard Bonnke's ministry has now seen over 100 million decisions for Christ, Most most of them in Africa, but all over the nations of the world. And Reinhard Bonnke says that the Holy Spirit is not a luxury. He is a necessity.
Young I Cho, the founder of the biggest church. I believe even, even to this day, over a million people were a part of his church in Korea. He says that without the Holy Spirit, ministry becomes empty.
We need the Holy Spirit.
You know, the Holy Spirit is not the trophy you get at the end of the race.
If you could be holy enough to receive the Holy Spirit, you wouldn't need it. You'd be good. You're already Holy enough.
The Holy Spirit is like the shoes you need to actually run the race.
God doesn't give you the Holy Spirit at the end. He gives it to you now so you could run and not grow weary, so that you can walk in purity, so that you can walk in power, so that you can walk and talk and act like Jesus. Somebody say amen.
And this is what's gonna change in this place. Kenneth Hagin says that many people are spirit filled, but not many people are spirit led.
Many speak in tongues. Many people have the power, but we're gonna be a people that are led by the Spirit of God. And those who are led by the Spirit of God are so God. We're going to hear his voice. And. And honestly, this is my. My life's. My life's message is I just want to be like a secret agent for God where I want to be like. I want to have an earpiece in my ear that at any point in time, if God needs me, I'm here, and he could use me.
It's my last story.
Two years ago, I was working, maybe longer now. I was working a doordash job. I was delivering food. And the more. The faster you drive, the more money you make.
And I praise God. I kind of sucked at that. I feel like I do a little bit better doing this. It's a lot more fun.
But I was driving, and I saw two men arguing on the side of the street as I was driving. And I'm just trying to drive, make more money. I see two men arguing, and it looks like I'm not. I don't read lips very well, but it looks like they're cussing each other out.
And as they finish, one gentleman leaves. The other guy sits down in the grass like this.
I'm driving. I may be a mile away. And the Holy Spirit speaks to me, and he says, alex, that man is on the edge of his life, and he's waiting for a sign from God. Go.
And it just hits me in the gut. And I keep on driving. I'm like, I don't know, maybe I'm not hearing the Holy Spirit. I hear the exact same thing. That man is on the edge of his life, waiting for a sign from God. Go.
I take my car, park it in the neighborhood. I run out to the grass. I find him, and just like God told me, I. I look towards him and I say, you.
[00:48:31] Speaker C: You're on the edge of your life.
You're waiting for a sign from God, and this is it.
[00:48:36] Speaker A: He sent me to tell you he loves you. He died for you. Today's not your last day. He's come to tell you that he rose from the dead for you. Immediately this. Immediately this man on the grass, he starts weeping.
I come up to him and hug him. His name was Christian. He was a little bit short of 30 years old. And I'm praying for him, and he's just weeping and shaking. I believe he was manifesting demons, too. Just something was. Was taking place.
When I finished praying for him, it was like a blanket just comes upon him. Just peace. Peace.
And I turned to him after and I said, hey, do you want to receive Jesus Christ? He says, I don't know. Look at my wrist. I just. I'm in and out of the mental hospital, have a wristband, and I'm losing my mind. I have a baby out of wedlock. My girlfriend's around the corner. I'm losing my mind. I can't pay the bills.
I'm not worthy. And I said, you're right. You're not worthy. I'm not worthy. But Jesus saw you worth it.
He saw you worth it. To bleed and die and be bruised and broken on a cross right there on the side of the street. Christian receives Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Put your hands together for Jesus.
I start walking with him to his girlfriend's car, and he says, can I walk a little bit closer to you? There's. There's an energy around you. It feels so good to be close. Can I walk a little bit closer? And I said, there's nothing special about me. I'm not wearing nice cologne. That's. That's the presence of the Holy Spirit. So he's walking real close to me, and I asked him what was going on earlier. I saw you arguing with someone, and he went one way. You sat down and looked real sad. What was going on? He says, that was my friend, one of my best friends.
I was yelling at him and cursing him out because today's the day that I decided to kill myself. And I didn't want him to watch me do it.
So I said, get out. Go. I don't want you to watch me run in front of a car. Get out of here. And I sat down in the grass to collect my thoughts just for a moment, moment before I was gonna run in front of a car and kill myself.
And I said, are you sure? You are sure today was the day you were gonna take your own life?
He said, a hundred percent. Today was the day I planned to take my own life. Well, I said, God, Saw you, God saw you.
You were on the edge of your life. You're waiting for a sign, and God met you right where you are at.
I can't explain what happened next. I get back into my car and I'm driving and I just get.
I start praying real loud and yelling at God and I start like, punch. I can't explain. I was just so, like.
I start punching my dashboard in my car and I'm like, God, there's so many more people like this man.
There's no way he's the only one I've ever passed that's going through something like that.
And I began to, like, groan in my car.
[00:51:37] Speaker C: And I'm like, God, if.
[00:51:39] Speaker A: If you could use me for something
[00:51:41] Speaker C: like this again, please fill me with the Holy Spirit. God.
[00:51:46] Speaker A: I want to be a part of God's stories.
[00:51:48] Speaker C: I'm not real great. I. I still stumble.
[00:51:51] Speaker A: I still. I still fall on my words. God, can you please just fill me? I want to be used by you.
[00:51:58] Speaker C: I want to walk with you.
[00:52:04] Speaker A: There are so many more people like Christian out there that are waiting to hear about Jesus Christ.
I don't know about you guys, but I shared it before. That's all. I. I don't care about the stages and the masses and the. In the followers. I just want to be an obedient follower that when God needs me, I'm there and I could step out and just share the love of God.
[00:52:23] Speaker C: That's what he's looking for.
[00:52:24] Speaker A: Are you weak?
[00:52:25] Speaker C: Are you trembling?
[00:52:26] Speaker A: You are in the right company because God used Paul, he used Peter, he used me. And if he can use me, I promise you that he can use you. And that's what's going to happen in this place. Can you start? Can you stand with me real quick?
I don't know if anyone else is feeling what. What I was experiencing in that moment,
[00:52:45] Speaker C: but like God, I need the Holy Spirit.
[00:52:49] Speaker A: We cannot preach Christ without the Holy Spirit.
I don't know if you're in this place and you're feeling the same thing that I was feeling, but man, if
[00:52:57] Speaker C: you feel weak, if you feel tired,
[00:52:59] Speaker A: if you feel like this is too much, I tell you, it is too much. The Great Commission is so hard, you actually can't do it.
Reach the whole world, preach the gospel to the whole world, make disciples of all nations.
The Great Commission is so hard, you can't complete it.
You can't do it without the Holy Spirit.
But praise be to God that John the Baptist said, I baptize in water unto repentance. But someone is coming after me. I can't even tie his shoes. I'm not worthy enough for that. And Jesus, he will baptize in the Holy Spirit, in fire.
This is what we're gonna do. We're about to pray, and there's gonna be an impartation of the Spirit of God. We're about to get immersed in, filled in the Holy Spirit. This is not like. I know it feels very heavy because of the story that I was just sharing. And it is heavy. It's a heavy call. But I tell you, you're gonna get up off this altar lighter, full of the joy of the Holy Spirit. Because the Holy Spirit fills us with joy, righteousness and peace in the Holy Ghost. And we're gonna do this with joy. We're gonna do this because Jesus is worthy. We're gonna do this because Jesus is worthy of every tribe and every tongue coming to know that Jesus Christ is good, that he is the Lord, and that he is alive today.
Are you ready for your own flame? Are you ready for the boldness and the power of the Holy Spirit? Are you ready for the same Spirit that rose Christ from the dead to come upon you again in a greater measure? Are you ready for God to meet you in your weakness and in your trembling and shaking? And are you ready for God to empower you and endure you with power to preach the gospel? Acts 1:8. And you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you shall be my witnesses in Judea, in Samaria, and to all the ends of the earth. This is what we're gonna do. If that's you in this room right now and you're saying, I want. I want that. I want to be part of these God stories. I might be just a mom or a business owner, or I might just be a student. I might just be someone young. I might just be someone that's not even a minister. But I want the Holy Spirit. I want to be bold and courageous for Jesus.
[00:55:20] Speaker C: If Jesus died a public death for
[00:55:22] Speaker A: me, I want to live a public life for him. I want to live bold and courageous. If that's you, I want you to begin to step out of your chair. You're saying, I want to be filled with the Holy Spirit and fire. When you come up, come as far as possible. You're saying, I want a fresh touch of the Holy Spirit. I want to receive that bonus that the Bible talks about. You're saying, I want to be filled with the Holy Spirit in fire. You're saying, I still Tremble. I'm still weak. I don't know if I can even do it. But I want the Holy Spirit.
Come on. As you're coming up, I'm going to refer to a different group of people in this room. If you're in this place and you are not in a relationship with Jesus Christ, you're on the edge of your life.
[00:56:08] Speaker D: Life.
[00:56:08] Speaker A: And you've been waiting for a sign from God. I'm speaking right to you today. This is your sign. Jesus Christ loved you so much. He saw you in your brokenness, in your shame, in your addiction.
[00:56:21] Speaker C: And he loved you so much that he came down to this earth. He died the death and lived the life that you couldn't live. He rose from the dead and he's alive today.
[00:56:31] Speaker A: If that's you today and you don't have a relationship with Jesus Christ. Christ, you don't know that. You know that. You know if you were to pass away today, you would step into the presence of God. If that's you in this room as well, I want to invite you to come and meet Jesus.
[00:56:46] Speaker C: The Bible says everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
[00:56:53] Speaker A: Just for a little bit longer. If that's you in this place. You're saying I need to start a relationship with Jesus Christ. I want you to step out of your chair, come up to the front. If you're saying I need to be born again, I want you to step out, out and come to the altar. You're saying I need forgiveness of sins. I want you to come out and step out to the altar in Jesus name.
This is what we're going to do. We're going to sing. If we can sing, Yeshua, just for a second. Jesus is the baptizer in the Holy Spirit. We're going to turn our affection and our worship towards him. After this song, I'm going to. I'm going to come back. We're going to pray together. In the power of the Holy Spirit's going to come upon you. The same boldness, the same spirit that was upon the apostle will come upon you. You'll receive your own flame, you'll receive your own impartation. God has something for you today. If you're saying I already speak in tongues, great, there's more. We're gonna get filled with the Holy Spirit, but all of us together. Can you turn your affection, your gaze to Jesus as we sing? Yeshua, he is the baptizer in the Holy Spirit.
Come on. He's the baptizer. Look at him.
[00:58:08] Speaker C: Jesus,
[00:58:23] Speaker D: You.
[00:58:52] Speaker A: For the Holy Spirit to come down. And then we're going to just break into praying in the spirit, worshiping God. Our teams are going to go around and pray for you. Do not wait for someone. Do not wait. Just. Just receive the power of the Holy Spirit. But would you pray this with me?
[00:59:06] Speaker C: Say, dear Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross from being raised from the dead.
I thank you. You're alive today.
Thank you for saving me.
Say, I ask right now for the
[00:59:24] Speaker A: baptism of the Holy Spirit in fire.
[00:59:29] Speaker C: Say, I welcome your power from the top of my head to the bottoms of my feet.
Fill me now and say the famous words with me. Would you just say. Say, come, Holy Spirit.
Come on, one more time. Come, Holy Spirit. One more time. Come, Holy Spirit.
[00:59:56] Speaker A: Now lift up your voice. Begin to pray in the spirit as we get into worship.
[00:59:59] Speaker C: Father, I pray right now that the same baptism of fire that came upon Peter, the same fire that came upon the disciples, fill your church now. A fresh boldness, a fresh fire in the name of Jesus Christ, you, spirit of fear, you, spirit of anxiety, leave these people and I thank you right now. The power of God, of baptism of fire in the Holy Spirit. Come on, begin to cry out. Pray in the spirit. Father, we thank you right now for another Pentecost. We thank you right now for our own flame right now. Cause us to prophesy, cause us to preach. Use these hands, oh God. Use these feet, oh God. I pray for the joy of the Holy Ghost erupt in this place. The joy of the Holy Ghost come upon us. The power of God.
Fill us, fill us, fill us. Come on. Receive your own flame from God.
