I want to talk to you tonight about eternity and your soul. The Bible makes it clear that there is a heaven and there is a hell. Both of these places are literal and eternal.  An eternity in the presence of God or an eternity banished from the presence of God. Now God has raised a standard based on who he is, based on his person. The Bible declares that God is a holy God. One of his commands, be holy for I am holy, spotless, sinless perfection. There is no shadow of turning in God, meaning there's no darkness about his being. He doesn't just give love, he is love. He doesn't just give peace, he is peace.  God doesn't just say what is holy, he is himself the standard of holiness. God doesn't just say what is good, he is himself the standard of goodness. Now the Bible says in Romans chapter 3 verse 23, for everyone has sinned, we all fall short of God's glorious standard. Now what the Scripture means here is that every single one of us have done something to break God's holy command. Every single one of us have done something to violate that holy standard. When God formed man, he formed man with a purpose. God had an intention for man and it was man's destiny to have dominion over the earth, to be a steward of the earth, to be a caretaker of what God had created.  God forms, man begins to fashion what God has formed. We were given the responsibility of partnership with God not because he needed us, but because in his grace and mercy he chose to create us so that he might show us love and mercy and kindness and purpose. It was out of his love and goodness that he formed us. But the Bible makes it clear here that everyone has sinned. What does this mean? It means we've fallen short of God's holy standard. It means that there are things that we do and say and think and attitudes that we carry within our own hearts that violate the goodness of God, that break the law of God's justice, that turn against his very nature, that rebel against the purpose for which we were formed, every single one of us. There is not one righteous, no not even one, the Bible says. No one with all of their good works, no one with all of their good thoughts, no one with all of their well-wishing could meet God's holy standard if we have sinned.  Don't fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin or who worship idols or commit adultery or are male prostitutes or practice homosexuality or are thieves or greedy people or drunkards or are abusive or cheat people, none of these the Bible says will inherit the kingdom of God. Now this is a problem that man has violated the standard that God has raised. Creation has rebelled against the Creator. And if you're not careful, your rebellious nature can begin to fight even the idea that there's such a thing as a holy standard. People get offended at the idea that God judges. They get offended at the idea that God is a God of justice. Well think about this. Have you ever been scrolling down the social media feed looking past different posts only to stumble upon a story about a heinous crime that is committed? Perhaps a murder, perhaps something even worse? And you read that story and I promise you as you read that story and you begin to look at the various comments under that post, you'll begin to read people calling out for justice. Well that was done in cold blood or that was done with malicious intent or that was done with evil in the heart, throw the book at them we say. Give them life in prison. Give them the death penalty and when we see these sins as vile as they are projected before us on social media, everything within us cries out for something to be done against that sin. But then we demonstrate our very own hypocrisy for when it comes to the sins of others, we cry out for justice. When it comes to our own, we cry out for mercy.  When you cry out for justice, you are demonstrating that you agree that sin must be punished. We just don't want it to be ours. If God is a good God, why would he judge? It's because he's a good God that he judges.  And the Bible says in Matthew 25 verse 46, and they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life. Hebrews 9.27 says, And just as each person is destined to die once, and after that comes judgment. Hell is the constant state of highest anguish and it's a reality of Scripture. One of the most loving things a preacher can do is warn the wicked of an eternity without Christ because even though society has changed, even though people have tried to philosophize their way out of truth, I'm here to declare to you tonight that nothing in the Scripture has changed. Truth is truth. The fact of the matter is simple. The only reason that one could be offended by the existence of hell is because they're not offended enough by the idea of sin. We don't realize just how unholy it is, how vile it is. You violate that eternally holy standard of God. It requires eternal punishment. It is the goodness of God and the justice of God which responds to these things, and the Bible declares that each one of us is destined to die. Now I know that's not popular to say. I know it's not going to gain me a large following. I know that the world won't applaud me as I say these things. No, the world is going to tell me I'm bigoted, narrow-minded, small-minded, old-fashioned and out of touch. So be it. You're narrow-minded, David. Good. Jesus said narrow is the way. You bet I'm narrow-minded. Some people are so open-minded their brains are falling out. Either Jesus is Lord or He isn't. Either Jesus spoke truth or He didn't. Either the Bible is the Word of God or it's not, and we have to stop compromising the message in an effort to win people over.     Period. You say, David, that's not very loving. That's not very good news. And you're right. That's not the good news part. You see, before you can present the cure, you must give the diagnosis. No one is going into surgery unless they're convinced they need it. No one is starting a new medication unless they're convinced that they're sick. No one is going to see the doctor. You can hardly get people to go to the doctor when they know they're sick. Let alone get them to go to the doctor without them being sick. When somebody knows there's something wrong, then they seek out the cure. And I'm telling you that that thing in your heart, that knowing that you were purposed for more, that knowing that something is just not quite right in this world, that knowing that there is this higher calling, that knowing that there is this purposeful pool on your life, that is the Holy Spirit calling you unto Christ. That is God reaching out his saving hand and trying to snatch you out of hellfire. That is God trying to get your attention. You were created with purpose. You were created to be loved by God. You were created to love God. You were not created to live in depression. You were not created to live with anxiety. You were not created to live bound by sin. You were not created to live under the power of the kingdom of darkness. You were not created to be separated from God. You were not created to be confused about who you are. When God formed you, he formed you with purpose and intention. There's more. There's so much more than you can see with the natural eye. There is a world beyond the world that we can see and you know it in your heart.  The scripture declares that he's not far from any of us, that we can reach out our hand, that he's just right there.   We imagine that God is a million miles away off in the distance, turning a deaf ear, turning a blind eye, not wanting to have anything to do with us, that he's indifferent, arms folded, looking over the balconies of heaven, disgusted by the creation that he formed. No, my friend, because even though there is bad news that sin must be punished and all have sinned, the good news is that God gave a free gift. Now, the plight has been clearly painted for us in scripture. I watched as a woman was being preached to on a university campus and she asked the preacher, do I have to be perfect to get into heaven? He said, yes. She said, are you perfect? He said, no. She said, are you going to heaven? He said, yes. She was so confused by his answers because that seems to be the logical conclusion. You have to be perfect to be one with God. You have to be perfect to get into heaven. That's a fact. The Bible establishes that. And all of us have sinned, so none of us are perfect. So the question becomes, how does this work? Well, that's where the Bible tells us the good news because there's nothing any of us can do to save ourselves. Nothing.  Like right now, stop. And for the rest of your life, you could go to church every night of the week. You could go to every prayer meeting, every Christian conference. You could give every time the plight comes around. You could give to the orphans and the widows. You could sell all you have. You could do all that's in your power to do and dedicate the rest of your life in service to humanity and the needs of others. You could become this great philanthroper. You could give your life to doing good in this world.  So people get it in their heads, especially church folks, that I have to perform in order to gain that salvation. But that's not what the Scripture teaches, because if you believe you're saved by your works, good luck. Romans chapter 3, verses 21 and 22 says this. But now God has shown us a way to be right with him, without keeping the requirements of the law, as was promised in the writings of Moses and the prophets long ago. We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are. Now, this is where people become confused, because they say things like, well, I want to serve God. I just don't think that I could do that whole Christian thing for the rest of my life. I don't have it in me. I don't have the ability. And that's exactly right. That's why you need saving in the first place. It's like this. When I go in to visit a medical professional facility, if I go into a surgery center and they want to perform a lifesaving surgery on me, I don't go into the hospital and say, okay, where do I wash my hands and where are my tools? I don't say, okay, give me all the medical books, give me all of the research. I'm ready to perform this surgery. No, that would be rather foolish, especially if you're under anesthesia. Forget it. There's nothing you'll be able to do. And that's what people imagine. It's like they have to save themselves, present themselves to God, and say, okay, is that good enough? And then they're not really going to know until they get to heaven. Or before that they stand before God, and then I'll find out if I made it or not. I don't know about you, but I'm not guessing. I know when I stand before him, I'm going to hear well done. Why? Why? Why? Why? Not because I placed my faith in my perfection, but because I placed my faith in his perfection. Like that person going in for surgery, it's not that I'm going to perform the surgery on myself, rather it's that I yield myself and place myself on the operating table and say, okay, you do your work. Jesus is the surgeon of the soul. If you're familiar with gaming consoles, this is my younger brother, Pastor Michael. He and I had a Sega Genesis in the 1990s and I'm going to make a confession right here in front of everybody. So remember when we used to play two-player games? You weren't actually playing. I unplugged your controller and the computer took over. Oh, you said you know. Good. Well, I don't feel as guilty then. I thought all these years I was holding it. I would unplug your controller and the computer would take over. The computer would take over for the character because I didn't want to, you know, you were good, but I wanted to win the game. But then there were some times when I felt really bad and you probably didn't know this, I would switch the controllers and I would play for you. And on his screen, he'd get all these points. Not knowing I was the one who did the work. Well, when you give your life to Jesus, you're switching controllers with him. You're saying, Jesus, I can't do this. There's no amount of good that I can do in this world to make up for the sins that I have committed and you're carrying that burden. You're carrying the guilt.  You're carrying the regret. You're being eaten alive by the memory of your past. And you wonder if you could truly change.  My friend, that's what it is to believe on Jesus. That's what it is to receive the free gift of salvation. When Jesus died on that cross for your sins, he literally took your place in the spiritual realm. Do you realize, my friend, that after you receive Jesus, when God looks at the cross, He sees your sin. He sees your wrongdoing. He sees your mistakes. He sees your character flaws. But when God looks at you, He sees Jesus. It's the great exchange of the cross.  Took on the wrath of God. Took on your sin and shame. And in your place now is His perfection, His accomplishments. That's what it is. It's a great exchange. He died in your place so you could live in His. And all it takes is faith. You say, wait a minute. I thought I had to do good. I thought I had to start living differently. I thought I had to start going to church. I thought I had to start changing. Yes, that is true. But please hear me now. This is one of the most important things you will hear when it comes to the salvation message because many people, including believers, have this mixed up. I do not do good works to be saved. I do good works because He has saved me. You're holy living. You're righteous living all of the good deeds that you do for the Lord. You're not doing them to try to earn your salvation. You do those things because you're thanking Him for having saved you. It's done. Jesus said it is finished, not you take it from here. He didn't intend for you to live your whole Christian life wondering, am I going to make it? Am I not? Am I going to make it? Am I not? Well, that's the religions of the world. That's how they live. They don't know exactly what their faith will be. It's called the blessed assurance. I know that I know that I know that inner witness of the Holy Spirit. So, we recognize these things. God is holy and just and good. You and I have violated that holy standard of God. We've committed acts that violate His goodness. We've all sinned. And there's nothing we can do to save ourselves or to make up for what we've done. And this is where Jesus now comes and takes our place, dies in your spot so you can live in His. Takes on your sin so you can take on His righteousness. Takes on your imperfection so you can take on His perfection. And you become the righteousness of God in Christ. Christ stands in perfection and when you walk in faith, you stand in Christ. And now you offer yourself up and you say, I can't save myself. I don't even know how to do that. I don't even know where to begin. I don't even know how to find God, but I have to do what must I do to be saved. You're born again. How? The scripture makes it clear. We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And then here's the miracle of salvation.  He changes your life. He transforms the way you think. And day by day, you begin to be transformed by the goodness of God. But my friend, the saving is done the moment you believe. And if you're relying on your good works to keep you saved, you have a warped view of the gospel. You know how to know if you're stuck in legalism? You know you're bound by legalism if you live in the constant fear of losing your salvation. Yes, we ought to live holy. Yes, we ought to live righteously. But we do so knowing that that's from the place of having been redeemed, not to be redeemed. Now, you're in this place tonight. And the Holy Spirit is speaking to you concerning salvation, eternity, life unto God. And you're in this room right now, or you're watching online. And you know in your heart that you've not received this free gift of salvation. Perhaps you've never taken the moment to truly repent and say, God, I turn to you now. Or perhaps you've not quite understood how it all works, thinking that it was up to you to save yourself. And you may have doubts and you may have questions and you may have even insecurities about your past. Bring those to the cross. Bring your doubts to the cross. Bring your insecurities to the cross. Bring your questions to the cross. When you go in for life-saving surgery, you're not questioning the doctor about every move he'll make with his hand, about every instrument that will be applied, about every medication that they will make use of. You simply by faith get on that table and say whatever you think needs to be done do it. Well, that's what it is to surrender to Jesus. That's what it is to believe on him. You're banking on what he did. You're throwing yourself backwards into eternity. An eternal trustful saying, I believe your sacrifice will catch me. I know I'm not good enough. I know I violated your standards. I know I'm not living right.  He wants to cleanse you from the guilt of your past. He wants to liberate you from the anxieties that you carry about today. And he wants to give you a hope for a future in eternity with him. One with God, right with him. Peace with God. It's what you need. It's what you've been looking for. It's why you feel empty. It's why you feel aimless. It's why you're feeling around in the darkness trying to find a purpose. Now you may say, I don't know if I have what it takes to be a good Christian. None of us do. That's why we need him. And I promise you, he will give you the power to live right. You may say, wait a minute, I've done some things that I don't even want to mention. There are things that I feel such regret for. Things I should have done that I didn't do. Things that I shouldn't have done that I did. And I'm carrying that.  I promise you, no matter how dark the sin, no matter how deep the stains, the blood of Jesus can make you whole. The blood of Jesus can wash you clean. He'll give you a new future. He'll make you a new person. He'll make you right with God. And now you're forced to make a decision. Standing before you is not a preacher. Standing before you is not just a message or a religion of the world. It's not a philosophy. Jesus himself stands before you, knocking on the door of your heart. And you can do one of two things tonight. Either you can suppress the voice of the Holy Spirit. You can ignore. You can reject what He's trying to get you to do. And you'll leave this building with the burden of sin still on your shoulders. You'll get in that car. You'll drive home. And as you're driving home, you'll sense that darkness still hovering about your mind.  And you'll be saying again and again, I should have responded. I should have responded. I should have responded. You come when He calls you because that's when the Spirit is drawing you. Or you can leave here tonight, receive the forgiveness of those sins. Have the burden and the shame, the weight, the darkness, the consequence of sin lifted from off of you. Become a new creation. You'll be filled with peace and love and joy overflowing. You'll walk out of this building feeling like you're walking on a cloud. You'll get in that car driving home and you'll say, I don't know what this joy is in my heart, but something is different now. And you'll say, I'm so glad.  I'm so glad I responded.  Your only regret will be that you didn't do it sooner and He'll accept you and He'll clean you up and He'll give you a new nature and He'll give you a new name and He'll breathe new life in you. You just have to put your faith in Him. I'm going to call upon you to do so now. And it's important to remember this, that when I call, it's not me calling. I'm just a servant. I'm just an instrument. It's the Holy Spirit drawing you. And tonight you're not responding to me, you're responding to Him. Now Jesus said, if you deny me before man, I'll deny you before my Father who is in heaven. Jesus said, you accept me before man, I'll accept you before my Father who is in heaven. And so tonight I'm asking you to make this public.  This is something public that you're doing. But this isn't an act of shame. This is an act of victory tonight. For we, the church of God, are about to witness the greatest miracle, which is salvation.  And it's time. Aren't you tired of running from Him? Aren't you tired? Come to me, He said, all who are weary. My yoke is easy. My burden is light. You want to receive Jesus. I'm going to ask you to do something. You say, that's me. I know it is. Don't wait to see somebody else responding. Don't wait to see if your friends or your family will be there to look at you. Don't wait to see if someone's going to join you. It's you and God now. You want to receive Jesus as Savior and Lord. I want you to stand up right where you are. Main standing, if you're standing, please, if you're standing already, please remain standing. One more thing I want you to do.   I want you to walk down the aisles. Come from the balconies. Come from the back. Come from the overflow and just come. Come to Jesus. Church, can we give the Lord a hand of praise for these lives that are about to be transformed? God bless you. God bless you. God bless you. Nothing like it. Nothing like it, gentlemen. Nothing like it. God bless you, sir. God bless you. They're still coming from the balcony. I mean, if we came to Florida just for this, it was worth it. You have no idea how happy I am to see you. I look across this altar and I see young children. I see, shall we say, more experienced individuals. It's never too early. It's never too late. It's never too early. It's never too late. His hand is not so short that it cannot save. Now you who are down here, I want you to listen to me very, very carefully. This is so important because I will be judged by God if I don't communicate this properly to you as a preacher of the gospel. We teachers are judged with stricter judgment, the scripture says. So let me make this as clear as I possibly can. No one in the history of all of human history and all of biblical history has ever been saved by a prayer. Prayer does not save you. Only Jesus saves you. Only Jesus. So the role of confession isn't the production of salvation. Confession unto salvation is what the scripture describes as you making a public statement of something that's actually happening in your heart. So if you're just saying the words, it means nothing. It's not a special or magic prayer where you pray it, you're good to go. You can go on living the way you want to live. No. What you're doing right now is you're surrendering to Jesus and you're saying you are the Lord of my life now. I put my faith in what you've done on the cross. You're putting your faith in that work and the prayer is an expression of what you're doing in your heart. So the prayer doesn't save you. So you can't say, I always say because I repeated after David Hernandez and now I'm good to go. No. You are going to actually talk to Jesus. The good news is you're going to meet him right now. You are actually going to meet Jesus. So you're talking to him and you're giving him your life and you're saying what you did on the cross, I want to partake of that. I trust what you did there. I trust what you did there and I know that it was good enough. Faith in the finished work of the cross. Now when my four-year-old Aria, she's very persistent, when she wants me to hold her, she just puts her hands up like this and she won't let me pass. She'll, I have to, you have to pick me up.  The only reason I'm having you close your eyes is to remove distraction.  You're reaching up to him. And as we pray this prayer, I want you to say it unto God, sincerely from your heart. Repeat after me and as you repeat after me, I'm going to ask the congregation to likewise repeat after me as we join our faith with theirs.  I admit I've done wrong. I've sinned against you, a holy God, but now, Lord, I'm done running. I turn away from sin, from rebellion, from Satan. I turn to you now, Lord, say, Jesus, only you can save me. I believe you are the son of God. I believe you lived a sinless life. I believe you died on the cross for my sins. I believe you rose again from the dead in bodily form. I believe you sit at God's right hand. Jesus, save me. Say it again. Say, Jesus, save me. Forgive me. Be my Lord, be my Savior, my God, my King. I turn to you now and I declare, by faith, from this moment on, I am born again in Jesus' name. Amen. What do you need to do? As we're going to sing a simple prayer, all of us will do the same.  Every voice lifted now. Lausians, chapter one, and this is what's happened tonight. We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power, so you will have the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy. People of God now, fellow brothers and sisters, may you be filled with joy. Listen, listen. If you came here tonight and your bank account was empty, you can check your bank account right now, and it'll still be empty. But even though your account may still be empty, there's joy in your heart. You may have come here tonight, and maybe you've been living a life that's destroyed your family, and you're going to walk out of this room, yeah, the family may still be strained, but there's hope now for the future. If you came here tonight, there are some issues with you that you're working through and problems that you're trying to overcome and things that frustrate you about yourself. Welcome to the club. We're all still frustrated with ourselves, but now you have the grace to transform from day to day as you are conformed to the image of Jesus. And the Bible goes on to say, always thanking the Father, he has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people who live in the light. That's you. You have a new heavenly inheritance now. It doesn't matter what's happening around you. Don't expect God to fix all your problems, because Jesus said in this world you'll have tribulations. Yes, we believe in miracles. Yes, we believe in healing. Yes, we believe in deliverance. All of that's wonderful, but don't expect God to fix everything in your life to run perfectly still. In fact, I'll tell you what you can expect, some persecution. You can expect some people to turn on you.  All what you've gained is so much greater. He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep in order to gain what he cannot lose. Jesus said, what is it profit a man to gain the whole world yet lose his own soul? The Bible continues, for, and this is why we're rejoicing tonight, I'll tell you today, the kingdom of darkness has lost big time tonight, big time. He has delivered us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his dear son who purchased freedom and forgave our sins. You are now of the kingdom of light. It's what he's done, church. You are now of the kingdom of light. I'll tell you this, whatever the past, it's done. I want you to do something and only do this one more time for the rest of your life, please, because after today I don't even want you to go there again.  Now look at me. After what just happened now, that has been cleansed. It's under the blood, it's done. Find the solid church. Where's the pastor of this church? Is he here right now? Oh, well, I'm sure we'll find him soon. And he's, I know it's a good solid church. Find a good church like this one. Find a solid church like this one. See, that's a good pastor right there. They said he's outside talking to people. That's how you know a good pastor right there. He said there's some people who couldn't get in, we're going to talk with them. This is a great church. Why not this one? Well, find a good church and get planted. Find a good place to call home and get in the Word every day now. Talk to God every day. It's a simple walk. It's not all going to be perfect, but it's simple from here on out. One more time, church, and I'm going to ask you to do something just a little, you might be a little shy, but we love you.   And we welcome our new brothers and sisters into the Kingdom of God. Enjoy us with them.  If you're watching on YouTube or Facebook, I want you to just leave in the comment section. If you just gave your heart to Jesus, then I want you to write two simple words in the comment section. I want you to write born again, two very simple words to let us know that you prayed that. And there is a bit of a delay, so we'll start to see those in just a moment. You know, this is why Jesus told his disciples that he had eaten food that they knew nothing of, the food he ate was to do the will of his father. You know, you see people like this coming and giving the hearts to Jesus. To you and I, we see a crowd, but have you ever looked at the faces to see beyond the crowd and see the people? You said in each and every individual there is a story, there is an experience, there is something that's been transformed. These are lives that are going to be radically transformed. Can you remember when you first gave your heart to Jesus and you first felt the forgiveness of God while I show over you and you sense the lifting of that burden, that's what just happened here before us. And I pray church, we never get used to it. And I pray church, we get back to it. I think it's wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. And I'm by no means bashing the church. It's Christ's bride. I love the church. I love the church. And I love pastors and leaders and apostles and they're all wonderful gifts from God. But we have to remember that in all of our encouraging, in all of our edification, in all of our teaching and conferences and worship gatherings, those are wonderful, wonderful things. Please keep doing them. In all of those things, we cannot forget the soul. As I look here in the comments section, a woman named Tracy writes, I am born again. And I see also the community saying, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcoming these wonderful people. Another comment, born again. Oxi Platinum, born again. I'm reading YouTube names. Oxi Platinum, whoever you are, born again. Andrea, born again. Devin, born again. Susan, born again. Louise, born again. Born again, born again, born again, born again, born again, born again. Born again, born again, born again, born again, born again, born again, born again. Church, can we give Jesus a hand of praise for these souls coming into the kingdom? Born again, born again, born again, born again. Wow. I feel like I could go home now. Don't worry, we won't. I know there are still other things. Salvation is the greatest miracle. And in a few moments, we're going to believe also for your healing and for your deliverance. You watching online, please remember that not only are you going to receive of that salvation message that you've just heard, but now also that same healing and delivering power which rests on this room can touch your life right where you are. There is no distance for God. You in the floor here, you in the balcony, you outside, still people outside hungry for the power of God. That's spiritual hunger. And now we know that by faith we connect. Now I will make this request of the ushers. Please, please, please, no more going through this door. And I understand that during maybe regular services, that's what's used, but we're not using that tonight. And I so appreciate you respecting that tonight. I know sometimes if it's our home church, especially we feel a little comfortable and it's a little unusual, I know, and thank you for being gracious with us and working with us there. But there's a reason we do things the way we do them. So I'm gonna ask that we please not go in and out of this side right here. And the ushers can direct you otherwise if you need other direction. Now, I wanna share with you briefly a portion of scripture found in 2 Corinthians chapter nine. I'm gonna read, and it's still coming. Born again, born again, born again, born again, born again.  Scroll through them. And some of these are actual names. Elaine and then Silly Willy, Esther, Elaine again. These are wonderful, wonderful testimonies. How many can just sense the joy of the Lord on this place? 2 Corinthians chapter nine. I'm gonna go to verse six. The Bible says, remember this, a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop. You must each decide in your heart how much to give and don't give reluctantly or in response to pressure. For God loves a person who gives cheerfully. We're gonna read verse eight in just a moment and look up at me. I said this at the beginning of the service before we really even had begun. And I wanna repeat this again. Your giving is not tied to your healing. Your giving is not tied to your deliverance. So as I take the offering tonight, I don't want any of you giving out of compulsion. I don't want any of you giving out of guilt, out of pressure, out of a gimmick that you think that's being implemented here. No, I'm just simply taking an offering for the work of the ministry and it's quite simple.  It's that simple. I find that the people of God, generally speaking, are very generous. I'm looking at you all across this room now and I can sense the connection online. You're generous people. You just wanna know, is that gonna help advance the gospel? Okay, I'm in and I'll do everything I can. And so as I read this tonight, realize that when I talk about the harvest, when I talk about planting seeds and receiving, I'm talking about financial stewardship. I'm talking about the fact that if God sees that he can trust you with financial resources, specifically finances, then as you sow those, you begin to reap. Now it's not like a magic charm or some ritual that we do. It's as simple as God saying, okay, I see you're generous. I see you're a good steward of the resources I gave you and therefore I'm gonna help you to become a person who can bring in more resources so that you can continue to bless the kingdom. It's simple. And I think we complicate it when we tie in all those other things, but still be encouraged to know that the Bible here is specifically talking about finances and God does speak to our finances. Verse eight says, and God will generously provide, are you following along? Does it say some of what you need? And God will generously provide some of what you need. Now what does it say? All. Write that in the comment section. All. Then, and this is an extreme statement. Really think about what it's saying here. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. Wow, what a promise. You know, that's true prosperity. Some God will make millionaires. I know Christian millionaires. Joseph of Arimathea was wealthy, but that's not the promise of the gospel. I'll tell you what the Bible does promise, provision and biblical prosperity. What is biblical prosperity? It's quite simple. It's when all your needs are met and you have enough left over to bless others. Simple. And the more you walk in that stewardship and generosity, God begins to increase you. I've seen it happen over the years for our ministry. When we first began in ministry, and there was a few of these guys, we had Steve, of course. We were like, you were like six or seven when we met.   They saw the beginning works of the ministry. And I'll tell you, I first began filming on what we called the mom cam because it was the camera that belonged to my mom and dad. And it's the kind of camera your mom would take on vacation. You know, the big ones with the little viewfinder that came out and you put the actual tapes in it. Now everyone just has it on their phone. But then you had a bag. You had batteries, you had tapes. And that's what we began ministry with. And I would do everything I could to the best of my ability with that camera. And then one day I'll never forget it, my youth pastor. He comes up to me, he says, hey, I wanna talk to you. He says, the Lord had blessed my wife and I with a camera. I still remember the name of the camera. It was the Sony VX 2100. And it had all these lenses and it was a, he gave it to me in a leather bag, like exceedingly, abundantly above all I could ask or even imagine. All right, and so he gives this to me and it has a digital component to it to where now I can plug it into the computer. I can begin editing videos. I started making DVDs, ministry, products and so forth. We just started really going for it with that one camera. Until one day the Lord told me I want you to sew that and then he told me who I should give that camera to. Now, if you're from this area, Orlando, the ministry I gave it to is actually here at the base in Orlando. And I went to lunch with this pastor, kind man, sweet Jesus loving man. And I said, hey, God told me to give this camera to you. And I did so reluctantly and at first I thought it was the enemy, rebuking it. No, I rebuked, I rebuked, I rebuked. And then the Holy Spirit just as gently as he ever does, no, you have to give this to him. So I placed it, I kind of just kind of slumped it on the table. I said, there, God told me to give that to you. Part of me was rejoicing, part of me was a cheerful giver. So part of me was blessed, I suppose. And I remember I told him, God told me to give this to you. I don't know why, but that's what he told me to sew. And he takes it, he says, you know, we've been praying about starting on media. He hadn't been doing media yet. Today is one of the largest Christian media ministries in the world. And he hadn't started yet. And he says, this camera's confirmation that we're supposed to do that, amen, yeah. But now I didn't have a camera. And so I'm saying, Lord, you gotta help me here. I need support, I need to be able to raise support to get some, because we're a media ministry. And the Lord touched the heart of an individual who by his own admission, didn't even like me. He said, I didn't even like you. But God told me to give this to you. He hands me a stack of $100 bills like this thick. I thought he was like a drug dealer who got saved. But he was just a fellow churchgoer. He goes, God told me to give this to you. And he sticks in my hand $14,000 cash. And he says, that should be enough to buy your, then he liked me, but he admitted he didn't like me before. He says, that should be enough to get your ministry going, to buy equipment. So we bought equipment, cameras. And I remember we started broadcasting with that, working with that. We were doing live streams before live streams was a thing. We had this special software. And there were some Mondays guys we broadcast every Monday. There were some Mondays where our viewership would skyrocket to 30 people. That's how successful it was. But we kept at it and the Lord opened the door one day where a large, it was actually the largest Christian network at the time. They offered me, that's a whole different story, but that's all by faith. They offered me free airtime. They said, we'll give you free airtime, we'll air you three times a week. We're talking worldwide television, the largest Christian network at the time. They said, we'll give you free airtime. You just have to promise you produce at a higher level. Basically, they were very kindly telling me it's not good enough yet. So they gave me a list of all the equipment I would need to get this thing going. And that was like, whoa, okay, that's a lot of money. I think it was about $100,000 that we needed to get to build that set, to get the equipment going, to produce at that level. And I remember the Holy Spirit speaks to me again. He says, I want you to give away all your camera equipment again. I said, again? Surely this is just a test. I thought it would be like Abraham and Isaac, I'd put it on the altar and go, oh, okay, never mind. I still have my cameras. Thank God. Nope. And one by one, we gave out cameras. Some pastors didn't even use them. They just said, thank you, I got a camera and then they never used them. And the Lord said, that's on them. I'll judge them for that, but you, I told to give. I said, okay, giving out cameras. It's like the cameraman, just soundboards, microphones, video boards, computers, just giving it all out. And then I get a phone call from a man up in Northern California and he used to call me Dika Dude. He can do that, because he pledged a lot, but you know, so you can call me whatever you want. Just keep sewing. He calls me Dika Dude, he picks up the phone. Please don't call me that.  I say, I gave away a bunch of camera equipment. It's pretty high, I'd say, I hope. He said, then what am I about to tell you? I said, you're gonna tell me that you're sending a check for what we need to buy this studio. He goes, oh, that is big faith. And then he says, I'm sending the check, we're overnighting it, it'll be there tomorrow. Now this is God's ministry. It's God's step by step, faith by faith. We walk in faith steps. If where you are doesn't require faith, you're not in the will of God. If where you are going doesn't require faith, you're not stepping into the will of God. As we move from faith to faith, we remember these principles because if you can master the material, you can master yourself, you can subject the flesh in that way. God can trust you, not with just with those riches, but with greater riches. You see, it's not about the resources themselves. It's not about the dollar amount, it's about the faith. What did God tell you to do? And so as we apply these biblical principles, we recognize that as we give, we are not only causing God to move in the lives of others, but we're setting ourselves up now for God to bring others to support our vision. There's a vision God placed in you. There are dreams and there are hopes that were God given, not of the flesh, but God given. And we have to be stewards of resource. Do you realize this is one of the areas where people fight in the flesh? There's a few things you can't talk about and people get upset, or people get upset. One of them is sin. Forget that these days. You get banned off of every social media platform. I might get banned on some social media platforms. They'll put me in Facebook jail for half the things I said tonight. Who cares? And so you can't talk about sin. You talk about eating healthy and taking care of your temple. Okay, that's a whole other thing. People start getting upset with you on that. You talk about politics. That'll divide a room real quick. Oh, but you talk about money. Don't talk about money even though it's in the Bible. Why? Because money is a test of the heart. And very few people pass this test.  I haven't practiced myself or experienced myself. I can't tell you what to give. There are no magic amounts. I'm not gonna tell you if you sow $77 in seven days, you'll have seven mansions. And you'll be debt-free for seven years. Well, you know, David, it's 2023 in this year. I don't even know what any of that means. All I can tell you is it's simple faith. And so tonight I'm gonna ask the ushers to come forward and they're gonna pass out envelopes all around this room. And you watching online, I want you to participate in the giving as well. You online can give using the URL that's being posted across the screen right now as you're watching. And then of course we'll continue with the service. You hear who came for healing and deliverance. Believe God tonight.  I believe it. And again, remember, this is not tied to your healing and deliverance. This giving is just separate from that. We're talking now about faith and finances and growth and so forth. I want you to ask the Holy Spirit what you should give, but I'm also asking you to scan that QR code on the envelope. And you'll see where we are as a ministry in terms of our fundraising for this event. These events cost resources. You notice that we didn't charge for parking. We didn't charge a registration fee. And I wanna keep it that way because I never wanna put a barrier between people and the gospel or the word of God. You never know. Some people might say, I was gonna come to the service, but oh, there was a registration fee. Forget it. We can hardly get unbelievers into church when it's free. Do we really think they're gonna come if there's a registration fee? No, of course not. So we wanna keep that free. And the way we do it is by sticking with the biblical model. Just freely giving, freely dispersing what God has imparted to us and then allowing the people of God an opportunity to give out of their heart, to give out of their own free will, to hear from the Holy Spirit for themselves and say, Lord, what can I do to help this ministry? And I'm just gonna ask that you hear his voice. Give selflessly. Give sacrificially.  I can't promise you that you're gonna be debt-free in 30 days. What I can promise you is that the resources that come into this ministry will be used to further the kingdom of God. And that's all I'm gonna promise because that's all we need. Resources, resources, resources means expansion, expansion, expansion. You online can give online as well. And so as you're filling out those envelopes or giving via the QR code, those are a couple options you can take. Just remember that all of this is going to the ministry and it will help us expand our work. We wanna see more people saved, more people healed, more people delivered, more people empowered. And as you're riding, you can make checks payable to David Hernandez Ministries. You can give using the QR code. That's probably the fastest way to give is the QR code. Everything that you give counts. There's no gift so small that it doesn't count. No gift so large that we won't know what to do with it. We've got big plans, big plans. And the resources haven't caught up to the vision yet. And I don't know if they ever will. I don't know if it's a good thing if they do. We want the vision to keep expanding. We want the kingdom to keep growing. We want the work to keep pushing back the darkness. And so you're giving tonight, you're saying I wanna participate. And I'm stepping out in faith and I'm believing that God's gonna do the same for me. I believe that God is gonna provide for me. I believe that God's gonna send others to support the vision that he gave to me. He'll do it. He will do it. And as you're filling that out, I'm just gonna take a quick peek online where I can see many of you giving in the offering. I see Stephen, thank you for your support. Ashley and Ivan and Debra. Thank you, Monica and Joshua and Kevin and Kerry and Aaron and Brenda Lee's and Diane and Cooper and Alona and Yelena. I see all of these gifts coming in from here in person and online. Thank you for your support. And now I wanna pray. I wanna pray that God would bless you. I know that's not why you're giving. I know you give because you love this ministry because you wanna see more souls saved. But I do, I wanna pray for you. And when we pray, I don't want you to treat it like some ritualistic thing, like oh, that's the offering prayer and that's part of the service. No, I want you to join your faith with mine. And I wanna believe with you that God will open the floodgates of heaven and that resources will be abundant for what he's called you to do in this season. I really believe he'll do it. So you're giving tonight, just hold up your envelope like this. You gave online, just hold up your hand like this. And I want you to agree with me as we pray. Father in the name of Jesus, I pray for each and every one of these who are giving tonight. I pray for those online who are pouring in their resources from around the world into this great work. And I pray, Father, that you would cause your people to see an increase in resources such as they've never seen before.  We thank you that you're able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all we could ask or even imagine. And I pray tonight, Lord, that your people would see increase, increase, increase. Prosper them, Lord, in all they do. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. And the church said, amen. Let's pass those buckets or baskets or whatever we're using today. And you online, again, thank you for your support. I appreciate your giving.  And I want you as those buckets pass you just to begin to stand to your feet all around the room. As the buckets pass you, go ahead and stand to your feet. Focus on the Lord. Jesus, we honor you. In just a few minutes, the tangible touch of the Holy Spirit's power is going to flow through this room. Many of you will feel like electricity come on your body. Some will feel like heat. Others will feel like waves. We've even had reports of people feeling like way. I can sense it even as I'm talking about it right now. Some people have even felt like a weight come on them. And when that happens, I do not want you to be afraid, nor do I want you to focus too much on it. Our focus remains on Jesus, not on what he does but on who he is. And as we're worshiping, as we're praying, that power's going to begin to flow. Many will be healed, many will be delivered. You do not have to wait for me to say your specific sickness. You do not have to wait for me to list your specific bondage. Jesus himself can see. The Bible says that many who were sick were brought unto him. And no matter their sickness or disease, he healed them all. Jesus is able. The Bible says that with a word, he casts out evil spirits. With a word, when God delivers you, it's not a long drawn out show. It's an instant display of authority. You don't have to fight or beg or plead. You're getting delivered tonight. It will happen in an instant. And whatever remains after that is all flesh I promise you. It's not a fight for the Holy Spirit. He does not hide our freedom behind mysteries. It's as simple as calling upon his name and he'll do it. Lift your hands all across this room. Now is the moment just to begin to forget about everything around you. Focus on Jesus now. Please just for the next minute or so, one more time, everybody praying out loud in the Holy Spirit as boldly as you can now. As boldly as you can now. Kondo robobo sente, you watching online, praying in the Holy Ghosts. As the power of God begins to stir this place. Sentier robobo son to robobobo koto robobobo sente. Send your robobobo kenten and to robobo son. Jesus. Keep praying, keep praying. Just power here, just power here. Then sings my song. Lift your hands and sing a church that's the power of God. How great power. Then sings my song. Then sings my song. Then as we sing holy. Presence of the Holy Spirit can satisfy the deepest longing of the human soul. Holy Spirit's presence is like a wellspring of life causing you to overflow with joy. It's only the presence of the Holy Spirit that causes us to stand with boldness and faith and confidence in who God is. And while many complicate it, while many become distracted by the trappings of ministry and structure and marketing, it's important that we remember to turn our focus to Jesus. Remember that all he wants is one thing. He wants one thing from you. There's nothing that we can do that he can't do for himself. There's nothing that we could say that would impress him. There's nothing we could think of that God hasn't thought of himself already and even better so. Child of God, there's one thing, one thing, one thing he wants from you. And that's your love. Jesus has never held back from you. Don't hold back from him. Hands lifted all across this room, please. And as you sing this, I want you to remember that the Lord is attentive to what you're singing. I want you to remember that he is the audience for which we sing these songs. He's looking at you, he's listening to you, he's attentive to you. Sing it to him now.  Power was present to heal. The power is present to deliver. We come against every demonic power now. The light of his glory dissolve. The touch of his hand bring healing. Out of her in Jesus' name. Come out of him in Jesus' name. Sickness go in Jesus' name. I rebuke depression in the name of Jesus. I rebuke anxiety in the name of Jesus. Every sickness, every disease. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go. Don't wait for a song, people of God. Let the Holy Spirit begin to inspire praise and worship from deep within your being. Are they that worship him? Must worship in spirit and in truth. In spirit and in truth. From the floor to the balcony to the outside, the power of God is moving now. It's the glory of God, church. That's the glory of God. That's the presence of the Holy Spirit. And sing it out. And sing with the angels now, church. The supernatural has opened up over this room. And to sing just now, something in the heavenly realm, and there was a great outpouring. You sense that in the room? Wave at me, wave at me, wave at me. Look around. People, if you can hear it, then you know what I'm talking about. If you heard it, wave at me, wave at me, wave at me. There is something supernatural that has opened up over this room. Every sickness, every disease, every bondage must go in the mighty name of Jesus. Every sickness and disease go. Eyes be healed, ears be opened, the injuries be healed, knees and backs and skin be healed. Every voice lifted as we sing it again. Place your hand on the part of your body where you're healing. If you need deliverance from OCD, from intrusive thoughts, from depression, from anxiety, from any form of mental illness, you need deliverance from a demonic stronghold.  This is your moment. Do not wait for me to lay hands on you. I'm standing in the authority that God gave me right for this moment. I want you to receive that in the name of Jesus, be healed. In the name of Jesus, be set free. In the name of Jesus, I come against every power of darkness and I command you to release your power now in Jesus' name. In the name of Jesus, sickness be made whole. Somebody's eyes have just been healed. I give you glory, Jesus. Just keep praying, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray. Somebody's eyes have just been healed. I thank you, Jesus. Miracles are happening all over the room. Somebody with severe, severe mental torment of the mind. You're being delivered right now by the power of the blood of Jesus. I thank you, Lord. Someone else, a knee injury has just been healed. Somebody's ear, somebody's ear just popped open right now. Test that ear, test that ear, test that ear. Somebody's ear just opened right now. I give you the glory, Jesus. Can we just thank you for the miracles that are happening all over this room? Thank you, Jesus, thank you, Jesus. Wow. Skin disease, I rebuke it now. Paralysis, I rebuke it now. Every sickness of the bones must go. Every sickness of the liver, every sickness of the lungs, every sickness of the nerves. I rebuke it in the mighty name of Jesus. Someone else got nightmares, severe nightmares over and over and over again. You've had insomnia as a result.  The torment is done in the name of Jesus. I thank you, Lord, for every healing, every deliverance, I give you the praise. Keep laying hands on yourself. Keep doing it, keep doing it. I command that healing virtue to flow right now to your body, right through this platform, right to your seat. To those people watching, I pray, healing virtue will begin to flow even now. Flow even now, I give you the praise, Jesus. Here's what I want you to do. Now, you can't be shy about this because your testimony will be the difference for someone else's faith. If you believe you've been healed or delivered, I want you to wave at me like this. Look around the room, guys. Look at all these healings and deliverances. You see, for the Holy Spirit, it's easy. It's not a fight, it's not a fight for the Holy Spirit.  Come stand right here. You're gonna testify and tell us about the miracle you just experienced. Come out of your seat right now. Come down from the balcony.  Look at these people coming now. Can we give the Lord a hand of praise as they approach? You believe you've been healed all the way down, all the way down. Keep praying, keep praying, church. Keep praying. Jesus, we honor you. Can we just lift our hands and begin praying right now? Thank him for everything he's done. Thank him for everything he's done. Jesus, we honor you. Jesus, we honor you. Jesus, we give you glory. Look at these, many who are coming to testify. Isn't that powerful? Tell them, church. You deserve the glory. You deserve the glory. And we are deserve the glory. Also online, if you're watching and you've been healed, I want you to write your testimony in the chat. If you've been delivered or you've been healed, write it down. The rest of you, please take your seats. How many are ready to hear what the Holy Spirit just did? Beautiful presence of the Lord here right now. You know that we talk about that weight that comes on the room? There was a moment just a few minutes ago. Did you guys sense that? Somebody said, oh yeah. No, for real, I want to know. If you truly sense that, just do a little wave, like a wave in glory. Isn't that phenomenal? Like it's still in my mind. I can't quite grasp it like I'm like, Lord, you truly are amazing that you would manifest your presence in that way. I don't want you to take it for granted. Look, you don't come here to hear me preach. If you wanted to hear a teaching, you'd watch it on YouTube. If you wanted to share the salvation message with someone, you could show them the live stream. We're here for him. We're here for him. That beautiful manifestation of his presence. Ruben, what's happening here, my friends? David, I have Alona, who for 13 years now has had chest pain, went to the doctors, hasn't been diagnosed with anything, and up to recently, about four to five years now, has also dealt with panic attacks, anxiety. She says she's had this stronghold for years now, and she said, today in service, the Lord touched her, and she said, today for the first time, she has had no chest pain whatsoever. The spirit of the Lord is there, is liberty. Where the spirit of the Lord is there, is liberty. I wanna talk to her just for a little bit. Look at it, the power took her all the way back there. Sergio, watch, help her. When the Lord set you free, what was that like? I just felt, well, I've had a lot of pain in my left arm as well, so a lot of the time, my anxiety is associated with me fearing for heart attack, but every type I've gone to. The doctor, I'm always just told I have no physical cause for my pain, and it's just so crippling. Many days, I'm just in so much fear, and we've known it's spiritual, we prayed many times, and I feel like I receive deliverance, but then it just comes back again, and it's never permanent. But today, I just felt an overwhelming heat in my left arm, and I just knew it was finished. I knew this was done, and I know that now, when you were saying that any symptom you might have is just flesh, but the deliverance is permanent, and it's just flesh in the enemy, reminding me, right, about what was, but, and trying to distract me, right, from the victory, and from God's power, and I just know it's done. I believe it's done. Now, I don't know if you know, if I ever, if you ever had a chance to hear my testimony on this, did you know I used to have panic attacks? And do you know what my fear was? That I'd have a heart attack, and I would go in, she's Steve, all the time, Mike, my brother, he knows too. They would be sitting there in the living room with me while I was panicking, and I would go in, and they would give me the EKG, right, and you know, we as believers have to be aware that there's a spiritual attack that comes against us sometimes, and the way we step into freedom, of course, the power of the Holy Spirit sets us free. Walking in the truth keeps us free.  That's the power of God flowing through you. Just receive it, just receive it, don't worry. It's the presence of the Lord. Did we have a copy of any more copies? I saw it, Pam, did you get one? Pam, I promise you, I promise you, I promise you, I will give you one, and you'll have the first official signed one, how's that? Well, other than justice, okay. I wanna give this to you as a gift, and that's my gift to you. Today marks the day of freedom. Read that first chapter, it's all about my panic attack. Bless you, Sergio, what happened here? Diga, this is Brittany, for the last week she's been having a toothache, but the last three days it's been severe. She said as worship started, she said her teeth got numb, and it was so bad she thought she had to get some gel for it, but it went away, it went numb, and now the pain is completely gone. You know, the Bible says that he delights in every detail, I sense the power of God standing next to you. Yeah, I tell people it's not me, it's who's around me. That's the beauty of his presence. You know, the Bible says he delights in every detail of our lives. There's no miracle so big that God cannot do it. There's no miracle so small that God will not do it. And to us, we hear this, okay, a toothache, but to her, that toothache was a problem, wasn't it? So tell us, as you're worshiping, what happens? Well, I was telling him too, even just sitting in a room next to my new friend I met, it started to, before we even had worship, it's, oh my goodness, it started to go away. Oh Lord, we thank you for your touch. She's in a whole different place, guys. A whole different place, a whole different place. There's no manufacturing this. There's no man, Altaya, there's, it's all him. It's all him, nobody knows that better than the men standing on the platform with me. Nobody knows that better than my closest friends. Altaya, it's all him. This is something that is precious and beautiful, and we cannot take his power for granted in these days. This is not seen all the time. This is why we gather to see the power of God and to know him in greater depths. Just lift your hands and say, thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. I have to know, Britton, you wanna help Pat out? I'm gonna need another usher up here with Patrick, please. I know we got enough testimony, people, but I'll need another usher. But yeah, what are you feeling going through you right now? I don't, I don't, nothing. I don't know. Give it to these people too, in Jesus' name. Give it to these people too. Well, we'll need somebody to help her to her seat. Will you help her to her seat, sir? Thank you. Yeah, just help her out. You know, at some of our revivals, we used to have just chairs right on the side of the platform. They would just plop the people down there. What happened here, Britton? David, this is Angela. She said she would have this pain that would come and go, anytime she would lift her hands behind her left shoulder, there would be this pain. And she said that during that moment where the worship shifted, that she felt the presence of God. She said she was shaking, she was overwhelmed by God's presence. And she said that the pain has left, it's completely gone. And can you describe the moment that the power of God came on you? Yes, I felt heat from the tip of my fingers, all to descend down through my body. And tingling all in my hands and my arms. It's the glory of God here. It's His presence. Jesus. The pain is gone. I would all night have had such a hard time worshiping, it's been really uncomfortable. And then as soon as that atmosphere changed, and I went up and it was gone, I don't feel it anymore. He's all over you. Just begin to pray in the spirit. I don't know who you are, but you've been struggling in your mind. And you're sitting there watching these testimonies, feeling left out and like God had overlooked you. But He's come to rescue you today. Just lift your hands right there. Torment of the mind. I rebuke it now in Jesus' name. Stretch your hands toward this man and pray. Let the light of God fill him. Breathe upon him precious. There it is. There it is. Sir, you're related to him? Is that your son? Would you stand up, put your hand on his head? Place your hand right on his head, there it is. Touch him, Lord. Break every bondage. I love you with an everlasting love, says the Spirit of God. I love you with an everlasting love. I have not forgotten you. I have not rejected you. I have not abandoned you to suffer in silence in the late night hours when you lie awake in your bed, struggling and tossing and turning for the memory of yesterday. God says, my power is able to set free.  My joy overflowing I impart now. Receive that from my love for where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty in the mighty name of Jesus. Be set free today. You know he'll leave the 99 for the one. That doesn't mean he forgets about us because the 99 are all where they should be. He goes to get the one to bring him back to the 99. What's your name, brother? Matthew, look at me. He loves you with an everlasting love.  He stopped the service for you. Remember who he called you to be. Remember the visions he gave you, the things you would do for him. Remember of that freedom. Receive it today. Lord, I thank you. Wow.  Help her out there, sir. What happened here, Ruben? Diga, hold on, yes, sir. Some things are personal. I put the mic aside. Not everyone needs to hear everything. But God is touching this man. Britain, get his contact information. You'll excuse me. This is important. This is important. Britain's gonna get your contact. Brother, look at me. Brother, you're not alone. Colin, I'm gonna put you on the spot. Where are you? Where's Colin? Colin, run down from the balcony. He's working sound right now. I wanna show you what Jesus does. Yes, you go pray with him, Pastor Mike. And Pastor Mike, it'd be good too if you connected with him as well. We're not leaving. When you leave this place and you go back home, you're not going back by yourself. We're gonna stay in touch. Colin, come here.  Just a moment. Pray, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray. When someone is that desperate to come and yelling like that, that's deep stuff, guys. That's deep. And you know, sometimes it's people are just trying to get attention. That's not the case here. I can discern this man really, truly is hurting. He's hurting. Now, Pastor Mike, let me know when you're done praying. Keep praying for him, Church. You online, pray for him too. You feel that? He's giving him a prophetic word right now. And we'll get your testimony in just a moment. You just enjoy the presence right there. You can soak in it a little longer. Now, Colin here, Matthew, look at Colin. This is Colin. Colin, tell him what things were like before Jesus set you free. I used to see demonic things and hear demonic things. And I just had a lot of depression and anxiety. Just a lot of torment in my mind. And Jesus set me free from all of that. Now listen, it was deep with him. Now it's still a work, we're still working through things. You know, they're deliverance from demons. That's instant, deliverance from self as a journey. I'm still being delivered from self in many ways. And so we're a discipling column, we're working with him, but the voices are gone. The hallucinations are gone. The terrors are gone. And you're gonna know what that freedom is. I'm telling you that right now. Jesus set you free right now. I'm telling you, every demonic power is done. Now it's a matter of walking in that freedom. And we're all connecting. Britain's got your contact. My brother's got your contact. Colin, you can go back to work.  Now Matthew, sit down in your seat as a new creation and rejoice in what God has done for you. And then bring him, sir, if you would bring your son after the service, sir. Michael, I'm talking to him. Sir, if you would bring your son to the service after, to the back afterwards for a few minutes, I'd like to chat with him privately some more with you and him. What happened here, Ruben? Diga, I have Cynthia here. Two years ago was diagnosed with an inflammatory breast disease, a very rare case. There's no cure. And she said she's had inflammation. She's had lumps on her chest two years now. During the line, she went to the back behind the black curtain. And then she came back outside crying cause she said, I can verify the lumps are no longer there. Church, let's give Jesus a hand of praise. That's a creative miracle. They're gone. Yes, they are. They've told me that it's a rare breast disease. It's called granulomatous mastitis. And doctors have been trying so hard to find treatment for me. I've seen five doctors in total. And I mean, it just caused me a lot of pain. The skin would get so red, so hot, and so thin that it would cause open wounds and draining and bleeding. And pain all over my body caused me inflammation in my joints and caused me a lot of pain every day. And it was also a distraction in the service that my pain wouldn't let me concentrate. But I gave it all to God. And when you said, place your hand on your sickness, I placed it on my chest. And I immediately felt something in my chest. And I believe he healed me. I have an appointment June 1 for an ultrasound. And I'm believing that he's healed me. Amen. And we'll believe right there with you. And to Jesus belongs all the glory and the honor. It's Jesus. It's Jesus. What happened here, my friend? Diga, this is Stephanie. For 34 years, she dealt with her ears being muffled. So the sound was always muffled. She said, during worship, all of a sudden, it went loud. She's been healed. You got to tell me about that moment. I just remember as the worship team was singing, I thought, literally thought that somebody turned all the volume up in the place. And I was able to hear the instrument so clearly I could hear my little sister singing. It was amazing. Just a beautiful presence. Do you feel that? My goodness, so strong here. Lord, we thank you. What else can we say, Jesus? I'll tell you this right now. Jesus and Jesus alone deserves the glory, the honor, and the praise. Jesus and Jesus alone deserves the glory, the honor, and the praise. Awaken, the prophetic stirrings to which I have called. For I have shown you things by the spirit that others miss. Awaken, that prophetic anointing. Embrace it. Do not run from it. Do not say somebody else, Lord. Do not say I'm not qualified. Let him stir. As you praise, as you sing to him, as you worship, as you pray, there's a prophetic utterance. Can we give the Lord a hand of praise? David, I have Annie here. She said for about half a year it started with a black dot in the right side of her vision. And she said the past couple months it's grown to a black circle in the right side of her vision. She could look over and see it, and it was obstructing her vision. She said tonight it completely disappeared. She's looking for it, and she cannot see it. Her vision has been completely healed in the name of Jesus. And what happened when God did the miracle?  And then it turns to a black circle. Every time when I look this way, I can see the shadow of the black circle. I was intended to see the doctor, but not yet. But tonight, I'm healed. I don't need a doctor. Wow. I want every miracle that I see to be like the first one I saw. I'm so happy for what God has done for you. But what he's going to do for your family is going to be even greater. The work he's going to do in your family. Now you have confidence. Lift your hands. Lift your hands. Leave her there just a moment. Ruben, what happened here? Diga, I have James here. 10 years ago, was involved in a car accident, which caused him to have a herniated disc and lower back pain. Ever since then, 10 years has had pain in his lower back. It caused him to limp, walk funny because of the pain. He says he's done everything through pain. Today in service, he laid his hands on his back, and they opened his eyes, and then he tried to find the pain, and it was no longer there. The pain is completely gone. Beautiful miracle. And what was the presence of the Lord like around you as you experienced this miracle?   Because earlier I was, you know, usually I'd massage it, and I don't feel anything, you know. You sense that right now? Can you sense that? The presence of the Lord, can you sense that? What do you feel? I feel heat right now. It's his presence. This is the real deal, brother. He's calling you. He's calling you. Lord, I thank you. You've called this man for your purposes. You can feel that. There's like a literal, Gustavo, come here. Put your hand right here, tell me what you feel. It's, it's like, what are you just feeling it like, sir? Forgive me, I'm like kind of getting lost in a moment here. Usually I'm not, I don't talk this slow and low. I just feel loved, I just feel loved. Just so weighty. Church, we thank God for everything he's done tonight. And I know you don't want to go home. We have to prep for tomorrow. Now, obviously I think we know now that we have to get here early if we want to get a seat. I do not want you to miss what the Lord will do tomorrow. You watching online, you haven't come to one of these. You come in during worship, it's already too late. Come early, line up if you have to. I promise you it'll be worth it. I know that tomorrow there's going to be a great demonstration of the Holy Spirit's power that's even greater than what we've seen here tonight. We're gonna believe for healing tomorrow, just like we did tonight. We're gonna believe for deliverance, just like we did tonight. We're gonna believe for the move of the Holy Spirit to touch your life. Tomorrow I will not be ministering a salvation message. I'll be talking to the believer. Can we just stand all across this room? I'm gonna minister tomorrow on Holy Spirit encounters.  And I pray tomorrow that you would encounter the Holy Spirit's presence like you've never encountered him before. We're going deeper tomorrow night, amen. Lift your hands, make this your prayer. Show us your glory. Show.

Merry Christmas, Splat. By Rob Scotton. December 24th. It's very important to write a letter to Santa, said Splat. How else will he know what to bring you for Christmas? Seymour nodded. Splat's pencil scratched across the page until, finished, he exclaimed, and proudly showed off his letter. Dear Santa, can I please have a really big present for Christmas? Thank you, Splat. P.S., I have been a very good cat. Seymour was impressed.  Good cats get really big presents from Santa, she said. Are you sure you've been good? Of course, said Splat. She gave Splat a look that only little sisters can give. Hmm, really? Splat stuck his nose in the air and marched out of the kitchen. Hmm, I have been good, he said. Seymour nodded. In fact, I've been very good. This time, Seymour shrugged. And Splat had an awful thought that made his tail quiver and twitch. Maybe I haven't been good enough. Splat tried hard to remember. Yes, he decided. I'm sure I have. But just in case... Mom! cried Splat. I'm going to help you get everything ready for Christmas. Dear, said his mum, Splat took that to mean, Thank you very much. You really are a good little cat. And he said about being ever so helpful. I've washed the Christmas dishes, mum, said Splat. Oh! Thank you, Splat, said his mum. But the dishes weren't dirty. I know, replied Splat. And still I washed them. I'm just so good. The Christmas tree is decorated now, mum, Splat called. I thought it was already done, replied his mum. Not even close, said Splat. But it is now. I'm going to clear the snow from the path, mum, said Splat. Wait! His mum called. Don't open! Being so good is very tiring, said Splat. It certainly is, said his mum. I think I'll go to bed now, Splat announced. Good idea, said his mum. Splat snuggled under the covers and closed his eyes. But his eyes wouldn't stay closed. Maybe I'd better wait up for Santa and tell him how good I've been, thought Splat. So Splat took his flashlight from the drawer and waited. All was quiet until... Clip-clop, clip-clop. Splat had reindeer on the roof. But the clip-clop slowly turned to tick-tock. It was only his clock. Splat rolled over, just in time to see a shadow appear on the wall. Oh! Santa! Splat called. But it was only Seymour making an ice angel on the window. Splat huffed, plumped up his pillow and waited some more. Santa has to come soon, thought Splat. But the rest of the night passed silently. Peacefully, with not even a whisper. Christmas morning shone through Splat's bedroom window. But he was not the least bit excited. His little sister came in to wake him. I guess I haven't been good enough after all, said Splat. Told she so, said his little sister. But you can play with Kitty, if you like. Thanks. Splat said, in a little voice. Splat's little sister led him down the stairs. It was too quiet. There were no presents around the tree, and the rest of his family was nowhere to be seen. Because I haven't been good enough, said Splat. Santa hasn't visited us at all. But then, Splat's family leaped out from behind the sofa. Merry! They cheered. Merry Christmas, Splat. Merry Christmas, Splat. Merry Christmas, Splat. And they were holding a really big present. Just for Splat. It's the best Christmas present ever! Cried Splat.

Nestled between the village of Chouazelle and the town of Souffre lies the Fondue estate. This estate boasts over 135 acres of land. In addition, it possesses a wide range of natural, cultural and historical resources which makes it a valuable site. But what really makes this place so interesting? Let's go ahead and find out. My father acquired the estate in 1979. We bought it from the Delay family. Mr. Delay was the director of the Mancey at the time. And he was getting old. His children were not interested. So he decided to sell it to my father. When we first took it over, the whole place was run down in terms of nothing was happening on the estate. The coco trees were dying, you know, the citrus. So we had to rehabilitate it, you know, get new coco plants, replant a lot of citrus. And basically, we have brought it back to where it is today. This estate, we have everything. I mean, there's coco, there's citrus, there's coconuts, there's mango. And maybe you will find it, you know. I mean, most fruits you can think of, that is indigenous and most of you will find it here. What I have since then, what we have since then, is we are putting a lot of flowers ourselves.  So we've done a lot in terms of the landscaping. And I think, generally, we also have, I think, most of the varieties of flowers that you find in the country also. In fact, our aim basically in the future, in the long run, is to have a nice botanical garden. I think the place lends itself to that. The estate house was built in 1864. So it's an old house. We are very lucky to have been able to preserve it. As you can see, most of the lumber is original. Most of the galvanized is original. And if you can see the way the house was built, you can see that is in the time of the friends. That's how they built these houses. Everything is separate. The bathroom is separate to the house. The kitchen is separate to the house. The rooms are separate. So it's a bit of luck. I mean, there are very few of these houses left in the country. Very few. We have the famous battle of rabble between the brigands and the English. It was actually fought here, right at Fondo. And we have ruins to show where the brigands actually ambushed the English. So we have done, and I think that is important because that's an important piece of history in this country's history. Because that was important in terms of the brigands winning the English. That was the first time they had actually fought them by themselves and won. The brigands, better known as the freedom fighters, would hide in the hills so as to force the Europeans to come up there and find them. This put the freedom fighters in a more strategic position as the Europeans were not familiar with the territory. This allowed the freedom fighters to defeat the Europeans. Lately, with the decline in returns from agriculture, it has become necessary for agriculturalists to diversify. The closure of the copper factory, it became hard to sustain the estate only on purpose. As a consequence of that, it is felt that tourism is the way to go. The marriage of agriculture and tourism allowed for the estate to be managed on a sustainable basis. When we realized that it was becoming interesting and people were beginning to enjoy it, then the heritage people came in. They loved the site, they felt it was the sort of thing that they were looking for and tourists were looking for as you know now in the age of equal tourism. So the Ford Hair lends itself to that sort of tourism. The development of the tourism product is one of the areas of assistance provided by the San Lucia Heritage Tourism Unit. Fondue is certainly a beneficiary of this unit. In fact, tourists are sent to Fondue by the unit on a regular basis. We got a lot of technical help from them. Number one, they came in and they advised us what to do in terms of the trails. They helped us with putting in the trails. They helped us with the history through Robert Devo. They also helped us with our marketing. And they also helped us financially with brochures. Well, for instance, we've just built a small restaurant. They have helped us with that. Again, I just got a letter informing me that the heritage now will help me also with some funds to do some more marketing. So they have been very, very instrumental in the whole thing coming through. I'm not sure that I could have done it without them. Ford due estate seeks to imply people from the surrounding communities. Fourteen persons altogether are employed at the estate. However, plans are afoot to employ more persons from the community. As much as there are plans to develop the tourism aspect of the estate, the agricultural side of development will not be neglected. I would like to see it develop more into an agricultural estate. As much as I like the tourism, but I believe in agriculture. I think agriculture in the long run will be our sustainability. If you want to visit Ford due estate, just make an enquiry at the San Lucia Heritage Tourism Unit or simply take a drive to Souffre. It is merely five minutes away from the Souffre town and can be sighted by the San Lucia Heritage Tourism site sign. Don't miss the experience.


Still on the APC and its candidate this time around in the July 16 Osho governorship election, the two have filed a petition at the tribunal to challenge the result of the election. Both Governor Ayatollah and the APC champion in the state, Boega Falmodo signed the petition before it was submitted at the tribunal by the legal team. Speaking shortly after Falmodo and the head of the legal team, Rashid Adigoke said the party and its candidate have a good case. Here today to file in our election petition for the July 16 governorship election in Osho state, we just filed it in, signed it and sealed for the tribunal to take over from there. We have the advice of a legal personnel, they have given us assurance that we have a good case and I believe so. A lot of people are here today believing that we have a good case and I think by the grace of God we will have a cause to jubilate at the end of the day. The petition has been filed and it has been received by the registry of the tribunal. In the next few days activities will be in top gear with respect to the proceedings of the tribunal. So we are here today with the petition which has fundamental grounds upon which we believe that the election ought to have been returned in favor of Aladji, Sayaka or Yatollah and all progressives Congress. So that is the essence of the petition. While Ademmola Adelike has stated that he is ready to defend his victory before an election tribunal, he is coming to come in shortly after Abigah Yatollah headed to a court to contest the result of the election. He declared that the July 16 election was one of the most transparent elections in recent Nigerian history, assuring that people's mandate fully given against overwhelming odds would be defended and validated.
