All right. All right. Thank you. We can see you. Okay. All right. So I just wanted to talk a little bit about what we've been doing for the circuit breaker period. Engineering good is the nonprofit charity based in Singapore that I volunteer with. And it's an entirely volunteer driven individual supported charity. Our objective is to work with tech and bridge the digital divide, bringing tech closer to the people who really need it the most. So in the past we've been doing work for persons with disabilities, assistive tech, that sort of thing. But with the whole COVID situation, we had a call from one of our beneficiary voluntary organizations that said they have a bunch of families that need laptops. And with the upcoming circuit breaker period, kids are going to have to like stay at home and do home based learning. And the family is kind of for a laptop. So can you help us out? And so that's kind of where this whole thing started. And then we turned this into a campaign called it computers against COVID. And this is the TLDR. It started with a little like Facebook post and a WhatsApp message that we put together.  And then the families would be able to do home based learning. So the idea was we'd volunteer for a couple of days over the weekend. And that would be the end of that. But one thing led to another. The number of donors also went up. People who had devices, people who are, well, most Singaporeans, I think have more than one device at home. And so they were willing to answer the call. They donated laptops. And over the course of a month, we involved 100 volunteers, 1,000 laptops were donated, refurbished and delivered. So it's been quite an adventure. But there's more to it. And I'd like to get into. We got a whole bunch of media attention. And we weren't entirely sure what to do with it. The idea was very simple. But the way it turned out, because it's a community sort of effort, it was a little bit more complicated than that, which got even more complicated because of the circuit breaker period. And then everything had to move to Zoom. And then it got even more complicated after that once the engineers got involved. The logistics of the quality, I think, is a talk for another time. But it was quite interesting. The idea was instead of, because we couldn't have a central location, we had people who wanted to donate their laptops, have a volunteer go collect that laptop from that person and deliver it to the nearest community. Like a tech person who was willing to spend some time and sanitize it inside our Clorox it and then format it, reinstall windows and then send it for QC. So the logistics of sending things back and forth, organizing volunteers, that was a challenge on its own. But all of this was done in the sort of decentralized way where we had people who are tech savvy, shall we say, working from home and volunteering by varying levels of functionality and cleanliness. And then refurbishing them when they had a time to work on it. Some of them were really quite, you know, icky and not just on the inside for the outside. So yeah, the volunteers did a wonderful job and, you know, all of this played out in a sort of like an organic kind of way where as we were doing this and sharing this on Facebook, more people came forward to donate, more visibility, and so on. As we were doing this and sharing this on Facebook, more people came forward to donate and more visibility meant more logistical challenges, but also that meant more devices going to beneficiaries. This is kind of what it looked like on the inside. Once the devices were like reformatted and installed with Zoom for home-based learning, it would come down to a central location, which is where I am now. And it would be quality control checked. It wouldn't be to run a script that would ensure that all of the software was required that it was there, and then it would be tested before it went out. So that's how we've been doing most of the laptop refurbishing. What I want to try and focus on in the next 10 minutes is the salvage garden. So as part of the computer's refurbishing process, a lot of the devices that were sent into us were not in working condition. And those just got set aside. Priority was to turn around the devices that could easily be reformatted and sent out. But the ones that couldn't be powered on or didn't have a charger or looked a little bit like a site. Some of them were a little bit too far gone. We did have labels that came back from pieces. Well, some volunteers sent us little labels saying what condition they were in. But others, you could just look at them quite bad. But yeah, the idea was to try and salvage these as much as possible. And the quickest salvage was to just plug in a missing power adapter, turn it on, and then call it a victory. But the pile of laptops grew beyond what that tiny little space could handle. And so we were lucky enough to have a space donated to us, which is where I am now, which is the Football Association in Singapore. We are at Jalan Bazaar Stadium. You can see that behind me. And the stadium was shut down, completely turned off for better part of the circuit breaker. They only recently started some kind of exercise. Lots of healthy people on the field. But we've been using this room as a salvage garden, which is like to try and repurpose the space to do exactly this, which is organize things, get away to have as many devices saved from the e-waste pile, and put them back into circulation. So we came up with the plan, which is not as, yeah, it took a lot of iterations to come up with a process flow to sort of triage which ones needed to be fixed first and which ones needed to be fixed later, what steps to follow, yada, yada, what not. It's not going to go into detail on this, but I just wanted to point out things like, you know, netbooks and emotional attachment to these devices or what, but they'll put aside to a separate pile. We'll get to them when we do. So there's a conversation there about like using Google Chrome or iOS, but not important because it's not relevant to home-based learning. The computers that have Windows XP on them were set aside because they're probably too old or too slow to handle Windows 10, and Windows 10 was sort of like a baseline of what we wanted to give most of these home-based learning students. And the rest is to sort of just troubleshoot what process to follow so we could involve more volunteers. And so volunteers got involved. A yoga mat was installed which required somebody with patience to deal with the pile and then organize them in a way that not just one person but, you know, a community of volunteers could handle. And the idea was exactly that, you know, you have multiple devices of the same model and all three of them had various problems. So we pull out the parts that are functional and then at least do one of those three that can be, you know, sent back into circulation. The Macs turned out to be a lot easier to handle because of the consistent hardware, relatively consistent, I should say. So yeah, doing things like screen transplants takes a lot of time and effort and patience, but it is possible. It's relatively easier to do on Macs than it is on Windows systems. So for the devices that couldn't be salvaged, we harvest them for parts. So the screens, not as important, but the keypads not so important, but the ones that are most important are being protected by our accidental volunteer in the middle there. The hard drives and the... we salvaged the license key from behind to save most of these devices. So in order to get Windows 10, you need to have a license. We had a conversation with Microsoft, but they were not able to help us for administrative and bureaucratic reasons. But let's not go into that. So the quickest way we found to salvage and install Windows 10 was to pull out the license key from behind. This particular one says Windows Millennium Edition, being held by millennials. So I thought it was funny. If anything has a Windows 7 or higher, Microsoft supports an automatic upgrade for free. So we use the Windows 7 keys, save them, and then install Windows 10 and use the Windows 7 key to have a licensed version of Windows 10 be sent out. So not only were we harvesting the hardware, where possible, but we also harvesting license keys, which annoys me to no end. But let's not go there. Let's sort of spotlight very quickly on one little side project that came out of this. While we were working on this, we came across a couple of laptops that did not have a webcam built in. And the whole purpose of refurbishing these laptops was for home-based learning, and they need to be able to do Zoom. So there was a separate group of volunteers who handled purchasing, and we bought a whole bunch of USB webcams, and then we supplied those together with the laptop that didn't have any. But on the side, we found that there was an instructable that would allow for these sort of built-in webcams that we were pulling out before sending the pieces off to eWaste. We're pulling out these built-in webcams, and it turns out that it is possible to... And this is kind of what I want to focus in on, because you'll see there's a diode, and all the other cables are standard USB cables, and there's one on the right-hand side pinned the bridge. So that's the common ground. So you've got two data cables in the middle, and then you've got five volts on the left and positive on the left, and then common ground on the right. So that's all you have to do to solder on a USB cable to an internal webcam to convert it into an external one. I mean, we didn't actually send these out to the kids, but it was a whole lot of fun to work on, and it got a bunch of people asking questions about, you know, wait, hang on, what is USB, and how does the protocol work, what's the protocol? So it was a lot of fun, very interesting then. Yeah, so that is one of the side projects. Just a quick video here of a demonstration. What I wanted to highlight here is that, even though it's all hacky and soldered on like that, it requires no drivers. All you've got to do is plug it in the right way around, and even on a Mac, it just works. It's auto-magic. So it was surprisingly easy to do, requires very little soldering skills, and you can do fun, infinite videos. Okay, one more side project that came out of this whole salvage operation was the screens. So a lot of the devices came with like a black hole in the LED panel.  So those are not salvageable, and then providing an external monitor, because the rest of the device works perfectly fine. You've got a perfectly functional hard drive, perfectly functional CPU, all of that. So it seemed a bit of a waste to get it to the whole thing. One of the volunteers pointed me to a project that could reuse these screens in a sort of, not particularly practical, but fun and interesting way.  So all of them can be used for various things. But if you look at what we did with this... Well, hang on. Yeah, so there's a little bit of circuit bending involved, where you have to identify on the board where the power works, where the power goes in. And if you put a series of resistors in the right place, you just have a look at the sheet. And usually, depending on the LCD panel, the LED panel, it's not that difficult to do. In that, and provide power directly to it, it just turns on the backlight, and you can get rid of the LED in front. So it's always on as soon as you plug in a DC jack. And this is a DC power adapter from one of the donated laptops. So then what you wind up with is kind of a... It's just an LED panel light, which you could use as like a, whatever, tracing backlight, whatnot. But that's kind of not the point. The point was that you've taken e-waste and turned it into something that is like a cardboard prototype or something useful. So we've been sort of exploring side projects, but there are more, and we haven't had the time in patients to do that because the objective was to try and salvage as many laptops as possible. So we might, you know, what would have been e-waste. And that went on for a while.  And then that went on to 200. And then now we've got over 300 salvage laptops that went back into the cycle. So over the last two and a half months, we've sent out over 2,000 laptops together with the whole salvage garden thing. It's been quite a mad circuit breaker period, to be honest. It's all about, you know, trying to fill in the gap where the government's policies which provide PCs and laptops to students who don't have them are not able to cover. And more seem to keep coming forward as time goes on. So what we've decided to do is continue this a little bit beyond just the circuit breaker period. And we've turned it into sort of an educational program through the maker space concepts. But, you know, because it needs social distancing. So we haven't quite figured out how we're going to do this. It's probably going to be like through Zoom like sessions. But the idea is to have a space where people can take the laptops that are left over, which are, you know, the XP pile. And since these are probably going to wind up in being collected by an e-waste recycler, we can use these as a way to give it to somebody who's interested in how a device works. And they can take it apart. They can point them to, you know, how things work. And they learn by doing rather than, you know, listening to me talk all the time. So yeah, so that's the intention with salvage garden with a combination of like online sessions and something hands-on. So we're working that out now. We have to move out of this space and give it back to the football association because, you know, yeah, they need it back apparently for whatever reason. And so we're moving to a new space and we're putting together an education program. And if you are interested in helping out, my email address is on the screen. Questions, comments and thoughts. Great. Thank you. Thanks for what you do. So as we are a bit time on time, please leave questions after the talk. So let us move on to the next speaker. So I hear Bob is here.


Okay, so reading from 1 Corinthians 9 and verse 24 onwards, right, 24, and particularly verse 27, verse 24 says, Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the price, run in such a way that you may obtain it? And everyone who competes for the price is temperate in all things. Now, they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. Therefore, I run thus not with uncertainty, thus I fight, not as one who beats the air. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection less. When I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified. So in these verses, some very important lessons, some very wise principles for ministry, for the walk of a believer. It says, run in such a way that we may win the price. So it's not talking about a casual jog without any sense of, it's talking about life. Not that we cannot be relaxed or have some leisure, but it's generally saying that run in such a way to win the price. Meaning, let there be an objective, let there be a purpose in how you live. And it says, talks about the lifestyle of the one who is running a race is temperate in all things, which means discipline. And if you look at that person who is actually so disciplined to win a perishable crown, how much more? Because we do it for an imperishable crown. And verse 26, I run in this manner, not with uncertainty. I run with certainty. In other words, this is how I fight, not as one who beats the air. Not as one who was doing some shadow boxing, but so that, but I fight in this manner that everything counts. I hit the mark every time. And verse 27, I discipline my body and bring it into subjection. Lest when I've preached to others, I myself should become disqualified. So he's reminding himself and he's reminding the College of Church. This is how I live. This is how I serve. I serve as a minister, I share, I preach. But the secret of longevity in ministry is this, that I discipline myself, I discipline my body and bring it into subjection. Which means doing certain things, even when you don't want to do it, when you don't feel like doing it, that is discipline. Like doing when you don't want to do it, doing or not doing certain things when you actually can. That is disciplining his body and bring it into subjection and the longevity of ministry. So there are some things for us to personally apply in our lives. And yeah, let's, more than anything, let's put this into practice in our own lives. Let this serve as a reminder for those of us who run this race. Let's pray. Father, we just want to thank you for this reminder, God, to run in a way to win the price. Yes, Lord, to run with certainty. To fight, Lord, as not one who beats the air but with certainty. Yes, Lord, and also God to discipline ourselves, Father God. Even in the process of preaching and sharing and teaching and ministering and in various ways that you've called each one of us, Lord. And just to live the life of a believer, Lord, I pray, Father God, that we will discipline ourselves, Lord, and bring ourselves into subjection. God, that we might do those things that you've called us to do and hold back with hold from not doing those things of other God, even when certain things are permitted. And Lord, I pray that we will discipline ourselves to live in a disciplined manner, enable each one of us to do that, strengthen each one of us today. I just pray for strength today, Lord, strengthen our wills, strengthen our Godly desires, God.  A new sense of purpose, God, a certainty, Father God. Yes, Lord, establish our path, so, Father God. Master, for the short term, for the long term, God, establish us, God. A renewed sense of purpose and goals and objectives, Master. We thank you. We thank you, Lord. We thank you. Lord, we give you all the praise and glory at this time, even as we come to this day into your mighty hands. Jesus' precious name we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. Praise God. Yeah, so let's look at, last class we looked at some of the videos, the teachings of John C. Maxwell and relating to people. We looked at those principles and very interesting, a lot of things that we can glean from, a lot of things we can actually put to practice, very practical things. So today we look at, you know, on the same lines, we look at something that will actually help us in our relationship with people in building and really leveraging our relationship with people is this whole aspect of trust, trusting others. It is not just trusting others, but mutual trust, you know, allowing ourselves to be trusted or presenting ourselves as those who are trustworthy. Okay. So trust is both ways that we trust others. And also to ask and to live in such a way, to ask ourselves, you know, am I trustworthy? And to live in such a way that others are able to trust us. And, you know, like this topic, title of this topic is Building Mutual Trust. So it is something that is built, it is something that is built over time. There's something that can be broken, but it is also something that can be rebuilt or restored. Trust is very, very essential for our relationship. Any relationship that we can think of, trust is very important. And it is a foundation. It is the glue, it is the foundation that strengthens any relationship. So we're going to look at a few principles again from John C. Maxwell's book, Winning with People, to look at how we can build trust. That will help us to build trust. Now trust doesn't come easily, especially if we have grown up in an environment where trust was not, you know, where it was, it was not an environment where we were trusted. It was not an environment where we could trust others. So trust is not something that comes easily to, you know, if one grew up in that kind of an environment. So we begin to look at everyone in a very distrustful manner. We look at everyone through the lens of mistrust rather than trust. And therefore, even if people did not trust us, we struggle trusting ourselves because our confidence has been completely shaken. Our confidence has been completely messed up. So we are not able to trust others as well. So in such situations, we find it very, very difficult, very challenging to trust. Maybe to some extent, but we always view others with suspicion. So what happens is in any kind of relationship, we distance people from ourselves. We don't want to draw near to people because that requires trust. We don't want to let others draw near to us because we see ourselves as people who are not worthy of trust. And therefore, we don't want to open up our lives to others. So that becomes a problem. And this whole thing about trust becomes a very, very big challenge. There are a couple of ways by which we can view people. For some, let me just put it in the chat. We say that you are guilty, unproven, innocent. That's how we view people, that's how we view everything. With suspicion and with mistrust. You are guilty. I'm going to see you as someone who is guilty. I'm going to look for proof. I'm going to look for evidence. And that's going to slowly change my opinion of you. That's going to change my whole outlook of mistrust. That's going to change all this. This trust is going to be changed into trust, but I want to see evidence until I want that proof. And over a period of time, we don't know how long that will be. Over a period of time, then you can be proven not guilty. I'm going to give you that verdict that you're not guilty. That's one way of functioning. The other one is innocent until proven guilty. Innocent until proven guilty. I'm going to trust you. I'm going to respect you, honor you. I'm going to declare you as innocent until or otherwise. There is something that happens contrary to what I believe. And then my opinion, everything will change. Then I can say, okay, yeah, in this case, in this situation, that you were guilty of this. Now in the first case, it's a very difficult, challenging, stress-filled relationship.  The other person is guilty. That is the filter always that you have to prove yourself. You have to prove your work. You have to prove the fact that you can be trusted, that you are innocent. That mindset is going to severely affect the relationship. Every interaction, every conversation, this will be an underlying factor. I can't trust. You have to be analyzing, dissecting everything, motive, checking on the motive of the person. Why is this person saying this? Why is this person doing this? And 101 other questions. We're going to think each and everything. We're going to doubt the motive. So it's going to be a very stress-filled interaction. I don't know if we have such people on our list. There we are constantly saying you are guilty until you are proven innocent. That's not going to really help in a relationship. Help take the relationship to be a win-win relationship. It's going to be hard. It's going to be difficult for us and it's going to be difficult for the other person as well. The other person is also thinking and constantly on the back foot, constantly on the defensive. What is this person thinking now? I've done this or I've made a small mistake but now this person is going to think that I cannot be trusted because of this. Maybe it was a genuine mistake because of this. It was a slip-up. It was a human error but motives were clear but this person is not going to trust me. So it's going to be very, very difficult for the other person in the relationship as well. When I say relationship, because I'm talking about all kinds of relationships, maybe informal family covers everything. Of course, in Christian leadership, we have to be looking at teams or ministry teams or working with people in the ministry and so on. So it could be semi-formal and formal. So the best way is to, as we see in the exaltation of scripture, to esteem others better than ourselves, to give others a clean sheet and if there is evidence to the contrary to continue to work on them. The thing we do is if we find faults, if we find areas that we cannot trust, where the trust is broken, the other extreme is what we do and that's not helpful. In the sense we say, okay, that's okay, that's okay. And we kind of brush everything away without addressing the root of why things went wrong. And the other thing that we saw confronting, we do not confront with care but rather we do not confront at all. We kind of escape from that situation because we don't want to confront and we just kind of hope that things will get better if we ignore it. And so the whole thing continues over and over again till there comes a point that beyond any kind of correction or change, the mistakes have proved to be very, very costly. So that's not the right way of establishing or functioning in this principle. So let's look at, I just wanted to share that by way of introduction. Let's look at some of the principles that will help with building mutual trust. Let me just share the notes. So there we have it. First one is what is called the bedrock principle, meaning a bedrock being a foundation, something that is unmovable, very strong, unshakable. So since we know that trust is the foundation and something that is very essential, it's like oxygen for a human being to breathe. So we become a person of trust. So we become the person of trust where rather than first of all focusing on the other person, we present ourselves or we become, we work on ourselves to be people of trust. So in Hebrews 13, 18, pray for us, we assure that we have a clear conscience and desire to live honorably in every way. The writer of Hebrews talking about oneself and the team, that we have a clear conscience, pray that we have a clear conscience and a desire to live honorably in every way. So our motives are pure, our motives are honorable, and that we become people others can trust. So we build that quality in us. And we know that when there is a slip up, it takes time. Trust, by nature, we are suspicious. By nature, we do have our misgivings when it comes to people who throw in all those experiences of life and whatever we have gone through in the past. So we have that combination of things that we view life through. Whereas when you look at a child, child is very trusting. Trusting the parent unless that is severely broken. So becoming a person of trust. So I just want to ask us, maybe we can discuss it. So how does one become that? How does one become that? How do I become? Look at ourselves and ask yourself that question, am I a trustworthy person? Deep down, we know that answer ourselves in every situation and people trust us. Maybe even before that, we could ask the question, can I trust myself? If I were to employ me, if I were to recruit me in my team, would I entrust critical tasks? Would I entrust things that require huge responsibilities which require maybe care, which require a great deal of effort and everything? Would I trust me with it? That's a very important question. Would I trust me to be disciplined enough? Would I trust me to be punctual enough? Would I trust me to be careful enough to carry out? So would I recruit? Would I clear the test? We need to ask ourselves. And if there are some areas that need change, so we can trust ourselves and we can work on it. Rather than brushing it aside, we can work on it. So maybe in interactions with people, we can ask that honest question, was I a trustworthy person in this relationship? Did I behave? Did I do things, say things so that people could trust me? Did I, with my whole life, with the core of my being, can people trust me? That's a big thing. Some people will interact. There is immediately a sense of comfort in our spirit. We know that there's a place of safety. We can get trust. We can, with our lives, with the information. And probably we've seen that. So there are some things that I can trust this person with. There are some things that I can completely... Sorry, just a minute, please. So there are some things that I can completely rely on. This particular area. Oh, yes. And there are some things we see that I cannot trust about this particular thing I cannot. For example, it could be an area of maybe... Let's say people showing up. A task is given and people need to show up at a particular time to carry out and do it. And then you know that that person will show up. That person will be there and carry it out. And maybe there are certain things that you cannot... You see that as an area which is still being developed in that person. There's something that you cannot trust and trust to that person. Maybe it's an area of weakness, an area that the person is still working on. And we've seen that. So in a similar manner, can that person trust me? We are good at looking at others and analyzing. And we need to do the same thing with us for ourselves. And not just analyze and we see and then maybe we see that this is an area of growth. It's good to see that as an area of growth rather than this is a problem or this is a weakness and this is not changing rather than have that view to see that this is something that needs change. This is something that needs to grow. I need strength in this area. So we kind of identify that and I'm sure that we'll be able to do that. We need to be honest and not just analyze and leave it at that. Many times we do that analysis and then they call it the analysis paralysis. Just keep analyzing, keep looking, keep reflecting and just looking inwards, looking inwards and then we are in that place. We're not going beyond that. It's good to reflect. It's good to honestly take a look and just like that mirror, take a look at ourselves and say, okay, what do I see now? And the important thing is to see ourselves like we've been learning through the cross of what we have become, positionally what we have become. So therefore in the light of that, I see these areas that need to be renewed. I see these areas that need to be built and I need to change and go about changing it. I go about working at it because it's very important this issue of trust. So how do I go about doing it? Be a person of our word. That's the thing. Let me say that this is something that I will do or this is something I will look into. This is where I will be. This is something that I can, when we give our word, that's a simple way when we hold on to it. When we do that, when we actually do it, then trust is built. To be consistent. If we are consistent, then we can be sure that trust is built. That people are able to trust us. When people, let's say, when we promise, when we make a promise, we deliver that promise. When we do that, then trust is built. Or if you are not able to say that we are not able to. So honesty and truthfulness really helps the trust. So the person can say, at that moment when we are honest and being very truthful to the other person and saying things as it is, it can be hurtful. It can be difficult. A difficult thing for the person to receive. But that person knows that this person, this man, this woman, can be trusted. Because they don't hold back from speaking the truth. They can be trusted. So the Bedrock principle, the fact that we need to be trustworthy because trust is the foundation. So when we have that quality, then it makes it easy for people to work with us. It makes it easy for people to work with us in the sense that people can actually go the extra mile. People will be willing to go that extra mile. People will be willing to take on that little extra or even sacrifice certain things to get things done because they can trust. And there's a level of comfort in that relationship. There's a great deal of comfort in that relationship.  This works both ways, either with people whom we report to, people who oversee us and with people whom we oversee or with people who report to us, people whom we work with. Excuse me. So it works in both ways. So this is something that is very, very important. To extend grace and the God kind of love in difficult circumstances and difficult situations. That also builds trust. Understanding why it was done, understanding the motive behind something to actually communicate that and extend the grace. When people slip up, when people make mistakes, either intentionally or unintentionally, the thing is to confront, to bring it up, to talk about it and to clear the air about it and then move on. Extending grace, extending love and also being accountable. Being accountable, the person being accountable to it and holding them accountable to it but moving on. That also is important for building trust. So let's look at second thing, which is the unknown situation principle. I just mentioned that extending God's grace and love here. The situation principle is to be objective in assessing the issues in a relationship. So what does that mean? It involves emotions, it involves a certain amount of subjectivity because we are dealing with people and we can say that these are the things because of which they did it. This is the reason for which they actually did it right or did it wrong and so on. But we need to be objective in it in a sense not be biased. There is a tendency to lean towards maybe if someone is, let's say someone is close to us. Someone is close to us. There is a tendency to maybe let bias filter our assessment of things. But we need to be objective. We need to be objective. We cannot be partial at the same time. We cannot also ignore facts and go to and jump to conclusions. Having said that, we know that there are times when we need to be objective and at the same time we need to extend the grace to people even as we are being objective, even as we are assessing the situation, the facts and everything in the relationship and saying, okay, this thing has gone wrong or this thing is, it went wrong. There was a problem because of this, this various factors. But at the same time to not just consider the process but also consider the people. So objectivity helps in stating this is where the problem lies. And we need to know for ourselves when being objective and say, okay, this is where the problem is. In this relationship, maybe it's a problem with me. Maybe it's a problem with the other person. Maybe this is where the problem lies, being objective. But not stopping there but also to go beyond that and extend and look at people as people. Which means that we extend that grace, we extend that love because of that situation. And there are times when certain decisions need to be made and it can be tough. But we still relate to people as people and go beyond that process. For example, maybe there is a, let's take an example of a trust being broken. Well, maybe there was a, maybe there was a misappropriation of money, misappropriation or money being taken and used in a manner that was not supposed to be or something not recorded the way it was supposed to be. That is a situation. Well, when we look at things in an objective manner, the whole situation, well, the reality is this mistake was made and it was a critical mistake and it resulted in this. So let's not gloss over it. So we look at it and we say this was a problem and it's a problem because of someone's model or lack of integrity. And that needs to be stated. That's being objective, that's being truthful, that's being honest. But what will actually help build trust is to tell the person that this will result in a consequence. And this is it. It might be maybe that person not being given that responsibility, not being given that role, maybe that person being relieved from that responsibility. If it's a very serious offense, all that is possible. And that's a judgment call and that's a decision that needs to be taken. But beyond that, to extend grace to that person and say that let's continue to be in touch, let's continue to work, let's continue to work at this so that the situation can be redeemed. To say that, yes, you cannot be reinstated or put in place immediately, but I'm willing to work with you if you are willing through a process of restoration. So that would build trust. It's a difficult thing. It's a difficult situation. But that grace being extended to that person will build trust. So that's the second principle. We call it the situation principle. Now, the situation demands objectivity. It demands certain decisions to be taken as a result of that objectivity, as a result of objective assessment. But go beyond that and extend the grace. So, you know, Ephesians 4 verse 15, speaking the truth in love. Okay, speaking the truth in love that we may grow up in all things into him who is the head Christ. So speaking the truth, very important. But speaking the truth in love, very challenging. Many times we can speak the truth but not in love. Speak the truth but not with grace. Speak the truth, truth hurts. Truth is sharp by itself. But when it's not sealed with grace, when we do not deliver it in grace, when we don't deliver it in love, then it kind of, the whole situation disintegrates. The relationship disintegrates. It's either one or set right certain things in place or even corrected that process. But because of lack of love, because of lack of grace extended, the relationship, the human aspect of it sometimes is irredeemable or maybe takes years and still it will be irredeemable. I remember a couple of situations that come to mind and one is about this person who actually was, I mean it was not a very serious thing but this person suddenly said that I just want to quit the church. I just want to quit the church, I just want to quit the team and the reason being, whatever is being preached, there's too much of love and too much of grace and the whole church not being strict enough. What he was mentioning was, what he was actually coming to us, not really condemning people, not being harsh on people. So I just decided, okay. There was something, okay, we look at the whole situations like, okay, this is what it is and the fact is that, yes, we've been talking about grace but also we've been stating the truth of what it is and I didn't see anything different but just requested time to just talk about this, talk through this because the mind was already made up. So we said, okay, fine, let's talk about it. So we just talked about it and you're able to say that, okay, this is what you need to do, fine, just go ahead and you can take that decision, you can move on but I just want to present you with certain things. This is and the fact of, okay, what we've been teaching, what we've been looking at and why are you feeling this way and a very objective look at the whole thing. You might be looking at it this way, have you considered this and maybe this was your upbringing, this is where you've been from and all that and at the end of it, I said the decision is up to you, you can go ahead and it's fine but this is what it is. If you'd like to reconsider, you are always welcome. So it took some time, even with this whole situation, it took some time but at the end of it, he was able to come back, he was able to be restored and the relationship continued and the relationship was strong and even today, when I look at it, it's still serving and in an even greater capacity, an even greater responsibility. I know this example seems not really aligned to what we're looking at but the fact is that there was a building up of mutual trust because we were able to be, one is we did not gloss over the thing both from his side and my side, we looked at things in a very objective way, we said okay, this is what the situation is, when it comes to why he's looking at the church in this manner and I was able to also present some facts and then we were able to move beyond that. So all that to say that we need to extend grace, if the situation is unlike this, if it's a very serious one, we need to extend grace and go beyond the conclusion that we come to having an objective assessment. So that's the second one. Before we go on to the third one which is the Bob principle, this is again a very interesting one. Any questions? We'll look at just one more before we close the session. Any questions, anything that you might want to add? Anything that you might want to add? So let's just move on. So the third one, the third principle when it comes to building trust, building mutual trust is what we call, what John C. Maxwell calls as the Bob principle. So the problem is this, when Bob has a problem with everyone and that whole thing of the person going to the doctor, we looked at that example saying that doctor, I'm having pain all over. Everywhere, doctor, here, here, here, it's paining. I'm having terrible pain and there's something completely wrong with my body. Everywhere, my shoulders, everything is aching. Everything, I have pain and the doctor says okay, that can't be, but let's examine. Finally, at the end of the examination, it finds out that the finger that Bob is actually using to point, touch, each and every place, the problem is with the finger. Finger is broken and it's not that, it's not that place itself, right? It is having a problem. So the Bob principle is this, that when someone has a problem with everyone, with everyone they interact with, with each and every person, there's some problem or the other. Usually, the problem is with that person. Okay. Usually the problem is that with the person. Whether it's because of lack of, lack of skill, lack of people skill, lack of perception, the problem is with that, with that person themselves. Okay. So, when we look at ourselves, do I have a problem with each and every person I interact with? Okay, it's a harsh question. Do I have a problem with each and every person in the team? Do I find something difficult, relate to, to interact with? Do I have a difficulty with each and every person? Okay. Then we really need to look at ourselves first and foremost, not denying the fact that there could be certain degrees of problems with, you know, with, with maybe others, right? But we need to look at ourselves and see, is the problem with me? Okay. Is the problem with me? Am I the, am I the cause for this? Am I the cause for stirring something up? Am I the cause? Okay. Because if we find ourselves having problems with each and every person, it is, it is possible that we could be creating those issues, creating those problems, and even fostering and causing that problem to become bigger ones, right? So that's the Bob principle that we look at ourselves and see, you know, am I the cause of the problem? Am I the cause of making this problem even bigger than what it is? Or am I solving this particular problem? Right. So that's called the Bob principle. Okay. So we'll stop here. We'll take a quick break and we'll come back. Okay.


So guys I am back with another Diablo 4 video and my fellow Necromancers out there working on those corpse explosion builds. I have found a unique item you need. This changes the game. This absolutely changes the game. You need this. Stay tuned. How's it going guys? My name is DPJ and if you do enjoy the video, leaving a like really helps out and if you like what you see and want to see more, be sure to subscribe. Okay so anybody who plays Necromancer, anybody who's worked on or played with corpse explosion before, you know that it's actually got a lot of potential. Before they nerfed it on PC it was disgustingly overpowered because you just spammed that button. But now it's still quite good. I'm not going to lie.  That darkness skill. Yes we do. Now I've used it for quite a while. Now I got to a level 70, started to struggle a bit on World Tier 4. I've dropped down to World Tier 3 now I'm just doing a few of my nightmare dungeons. But we just had a Halotide event and during the Halotide event I was taking part in it. Just a normal event. Just to get those cinders. And I had this item dropped. Some of you have probably seen this already. I personally haven't looked up any Uniques or wanted surprises left for me in the full game. How From Below. Ancestral Unique Gloves. Check these out people. Instead of detonating immediately, corpse explosion summons a volatile skeleton that charges at a random enemy and explodes. Corpse explosion damage is increased by 36% and I'm probably certain that goes higher too. Guys it's unreal. You actually, with every corpse you spawn a homie missile. I mean you'll see gameplay in the background now. This changes the game for me. I mean I actually had to put these on instead of my gauntlets. My gauntlets are perfect. Those are working progress by the way. But I am using corpse explosion a lot within it. And it does do a lot of damage and stacking damage this and the other. As soon as I can implement these into that build with said aspect I had on my previous gauntlets. With a few other aspects I need to add as well. And a few other Paragon nodes I'm still working towards. It's going to get unbelievable.  But these guys these actually change the game and the way you will play even when using corpse explosion as your main. Which I know some people do. I definitely do. The reason being is when you use corpse explosion you're basically stuck in a certain vicinity.  These guys. If you've got a pile of corpses at your feet. Don't matter how many. 20, 30. Every single one of them is going to become a homing missile. So if you've got an enemy afar. If you've got an enemy at a distance. If you've got a boss that's running around in circles and is avoiding your corpses and not standing on your corpses. You're trying to entice him towards your corpse. Or you're spawning corpses at his feet and then he moves away. Trust me I feel your pain. I know the feeling. This changes the game. These change the game because it summons a homing minion that just runs and explodes. It will chase enemies down. If they change direction. This changes direction with them. It's utterly unbelievable. I'm not going to lie to you guys. I mean the further the ranks I've got with my Necromancer I've started to feel like it's just getting a little bit. A little bit soft. I'm seeing sorcerers. I'm seeing druids. I'm seeing all kinds of things. And the amount of damage they can put down is on a different level. I don't think Necromancers can do that the way they can. But we can do things like this and that's what I believe. Honestly I believe the Necromancer in regards to the builds in the game. I feel it's kind of the standard class. Not because it's the best. I don't think it's the best. It definitely isn't capable of the most DPS. But being able to do things like this just make it so unique. And I'm not going to lie. I was slightly getting bored. I mean I was chasing levels, chasing armor. Just chasing better with what I've got. And these dropped. I didn't know they were in the game. And I thought no way. No way they're actually that good. No way to do what they do. But they do. In fact they're better because everything else in regards to summoning corpses. Like I've got Bloodmister now. Let me have a look at the aspect I've gotten. There you go. Bloodmister triggers. Corpse Explosion. Uncertainty Corpses. When Corp. Bloodmister anates a corpse, it's cooldown reduced. So then we have an actual skill tree. Bloodmister's right here. And then we go right there. Bloodmister leaves behind a corpse every one second. You're in this for a couple seconds. Three seconds maybe. So you summon. For me, I'm also, I'm summoning three corpses. But every corpse I go by while I'm in this also explodes and chases enemies down. It chases enemies down people.  You'll see it on screen now. I tried and tested this.  And you can just stand there all day spamming them out. I was doing a Legion event earlier.  A homing missile that does so and so percentage of an extra damage. It's absolutely scandalous people. It really is. And these are perfect for many, many corpse explosion builds out there. Now my build is based a lot around corpse explosion, but I've got many, many other skills which both damage for that corpse explosion.  I've got absolutely all sorts. Now my build is far from finished. I may bring a guide on it one day. But hey, I'm pretty sure there's people out there that have got the similar builds to mine either way.  There's probably other Uniques in this game which pair with this perfectly. Don't tell me, don't tell me, don't tell me people. I want to find them for myself. That's a joy of playing Diablo 4. But yeah, guys, you need these in your life for your Necromancer and that corpse explosion is your main. How from below, unique gloves. These are absolutely beautiful.

tomorrow and Tuesday and Wednesday. We are doing a three-day fast that we're gonna finish on Wednesday morning. I would like to challenge each one of you who when we fast it goes in one ear and gets out of the other ear for you and you're part of the Hungry Jin family. If you're visitors just ignore what I'm saying but if you're part of this family and you tell your neighbors that I'm your pastor. I met one my neighbor yesterday it was so funny that we had a power outreach power went out of the house so I went around meeting neighbors and and so he comes up to me and we started dialogue and so he knows that I'm a pastor and is I'm like how did you know that I'm a pastor he says my other neighbors told me they go to your church. I was like I haven't seen him in three years. I was like now I'm gonna go cast out devils out of them. I'm like what is this they're inviting other neighbors to the church and they don't come here and stuff so and you know like and that's how a lot of people do that. They go to the church but actually they don't come and so if you if you're part of this family if you're part of this family I want to I want to challenge you right now. This coming month starting tomorrow is going to be the craziest month we have had in the history of our church. Some things are happening behind the scenes you're not aware of and I'm not a liberty to share because it will throw you in panic right now if I'll share with you that honestly things are hanging by a thread in the realm of the spirit and we have to step in right now like never before to pray and to fast and just because I'm calm I'm like a duck on the outside I'm calm on the inside everything and stuff and so because what what God has in plan and what the devil is doing right now is crazy and so this coming month with the race to deliver conference I'm asking you that if you're not going to take three days to fast that you for the next three days if in the morning instead you're sleeping or going to gym if you could just take those three days and show up here for prayer from six to seven if you are serving at the conference I ask you that you press in that you come on Monday we're praying and fasting for the conference on Tuesday we have 20 people going to Guatemala trip in the week from now we want to see hundreds of healings and salvation so every person going to Guatemala and every person wishes to go to Guatemala I want you to be here on Tuesday morning at six to seven and on Wednesday we are coming in to pray and fast for our Easter service for the first time in the history of our church we're going to have three services in one weekend and it's going to be just a foretaste of what's going to happen later this year and so we're not special there's nothing super super amazing about us the only thing that we have that's going for us is that we know how to get on our knees to cry out to God who lives in heaven and say God release your grace through people like us who still have an accent sometimes who still have a problem with our driving record because we gotten saved only a year ago some of you you're still getting your car and you have to breathe so that your car starts you know we got limitations we're not where we're supposed to be but we know one thing is that God doesn't reward the proud he rewards the humble and we know how to get on our knees and we know how to cry out to God somebody say amen somebody say amen when i was very young you know the Lord gave me this small vision that the church will be like a Winko grocery store where people will come by thousands to our church by thousands to our church and they will not just come get entertained see the lights and the smoke and hear a sermon but they will see a miracle they will see God that they will life will be changed and I felt God challenged me and he said this the reason why Winko is so successful is because behind the Winko there is these dirty doors that the semi-trucks come every single day these doors is called prayer and fasting well nobody likes to do that the moment I talk about prayers because that's what these doors are but if there is nobody keeping the doors open in the back and there is no semi-trucks coming in my friend sooner or later there will be nobody coming through these doors as well and so if you have been mature enough if you have walked with God for more than one day I challenge you today could we open the back doors because in about five days people from all around the United States will be coming through the front doors of hungry generation because the back doors are being opened can somebody give God some praise right now can somebody give God some praise right now can somebody lift your voice and give God some praise right now Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah God make us a praying church God make us a praying church somebody say amen God make us a praying church we don't want to be a praying church we don't want to be a weird church we want to be a praying church and for those of you who are coming for the first time and so today this service might be very very untraditional but we're hungry for God we're sick and tired of things being the same we genuinely genuinely want to see the move of God we want to see ladies like Audi and so many others getting up and saying I had this but Jesus after prayer he healed me I was on drugs but Jesus changed me you know I was lost in religion but I met God and God transformed my life and for that to happen we have to be a praying church somebody say amen for that to happen we have to be a praying church you can be religious so much can be done today without the Holy Spirit but we are want to be a church that relies on the Holy Spirit relies on the presence of God relies on the glory of God last weekend I was in Sioux Falls in Sioux Falls Dakota South Dakota in the church of Almira's church where is Almira here she is in the realm of the spirit in the kid's zone so Almira's church met her wonderful family wonderful parents I also met a lady named Galina if you can put the photo behind me please a lady named Galina no no no that's that's from yesterday the other one yeah so this lady that I point my finger to she had asthma for I'm not sure how many years she had an asthma for prior to two years ago I was in one city in North Carolina and we did a prayer for healing and this lady she I think has six or seven children I don't remember how many children she has now but she had asthma in that meeting she was there in North Carolina and she agreed in prayer that we were praying in faith and from that service on until today this lady this mother of about seven or eight children is completely cured of asthma come on come on church God is worthy God is good it's been crazy because I've been seeing a lot of asthma I know a girl in Pennsylvania who's been healed lifetime of asthma was healed in one service there's one in Ohio who was healed about five years ago of asthma and then came and prayed for her family dad and some other siblings and the Lord healed them of asthma there's a guy in Olympia a little boy who was healed about six years ago right here from asthma and on our first race to deliver conference if you remember Nehemiah Cruz was also healed of asthma why am I sharing this because I truly believe no I don't we don't see every person healed but we do see people touched by Jesus and they get healed and we give God the glory I don't care how you feel right now but I want to give God some praise right now I want to give God some glory right now I want to say Jesus thank you Jesus I crown you Jesus do you belong to praise Jesus do you belong to honor Jesus there is nobody like you by your stripes we are healed in your blood there is power to deliver from the devil in your blood there is power to deliver from sin hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah thank you Jesus yesterday I met a family and excuse me the day before I met a family the original from Philippines if now we can put the other photo this lady this lady right there she actually lives in Manila Philippines she's been following hungrigen ministry for a few years and when she found out that I was in Philippines she was begging us to go to Manila because that's where she lives the crazy part is her husband and their son lives in Vancouver so three weeks ago or two weeks ago I was in Vancouver and this boy came out I did not know that he had intrusive suicidal tendencies he was taking medication for the moment I stopped praying for him a demon started to manifest it came out he collapsed on the floor I found out this weekend is that after that incident he stopped taking medicine and God cured him now we prayed for him one more time because he had a schizophrenia and they came he was taking still one medicine every day and that was prescribed by the doctor and he came in and he said I believe that if you pray for me one more time the Lord will deliver me so I stopped praying for him and he collapsed and the demon just screamed like very very violently just came out and after he's like that's it I feel it's gone and so and mom asked me you know if they could start to stop taking medicine I told him to go to the doctor get examined and only then to stop taking medicine I genuinely believe that within a few weeks we're gonna hear a testimony that not only from a suicidal tendencies but schizophrenia is defeated by the power of the name of Jesus Christ come on somebody come on somebody God worthy worthy of all the honor all the praise we love you Jesus come on lift your hands right now for just few moments begin to just thank the Lord begin to thank the Lord right now for his goodness begin to thank the Lord right now for his faithfulness begin to thank the Lord right now that the one drop of his blood is greater than any senior anybody committed one drop of his power is greater than any power of the devil any power of sickness we love you Jesus we love you Jesus hallelujah hallelujah we praise you God we praise you God hallelujah hallelujah thank you Lord we thank you Lord hallelujah thank you Jesus in just a few weeks we're going to Guatemala and then we have our Easter service something we're super excited for but what we're gonna do this morning is that because we're preparing for the conference I want to direct the service to something that I have I rarely rarely do this I have this and I have this I'm going to use this today so I got a message during the worship and uh because I use my bible on the phone I had to find a physical bible to read from if you have a bible I want you to open with me and uh and we're going to read the bible I'm sorry if you have a phone open your phone somebody was like well what did you say the bible I don't have bible app yes bible app open your bible app you version and if you lost your streaks it's time to catch up on your streaks the lord have mercy amen I have a person in California who got so inspired by me to read his bible and he posted on his instagram that he read the bible for 365 days and uh he posted the streaks but at that moment that he posted the streaks I had zero I was so embarrassed I mean I read the bible but I just not you version bible happens so but the bible is good amen matthew chapter eight it says the following matthew chapter eight verse five I'm gonna let everybody because there's gonna be notes no notes on the back so open open your bible with me please open your your version bible app matthew chapter eight and I would like to open uh verse 11 8 11 8 11 if you're there see amen if you're getting there say wait for me you can connect to free wi-fi by the way um in hungry gen for those of you who are running low on uh on the thing that uh t-mobile provides for you matthew eight and verse 11 I tell you many will come from the east and the west and recline at table with abraham isaac and jacob in the kingdom of heaven I'm gonna read to you again many will come somebody say I'm part of the many children say I'm part of that many so not just few many will come from east and the west and recline at the table with abraham isaac and jacob meaning they're not just going to come to heaven but they're actually going to be in the elite like they're gonna have a special connection to some of the greatest heroes in the bible they're going to be in the green room with abraham isaac and jacob and not they're gonna recline there means they're going to chill they're going to relax in heaven and they're gonna be with abraham because see I can tell you one thing abraham is gonna be pretty busy in heaven abraham is gonna have a lot of people trying to be close to him trying to have an access to him trying to hang out with him and jesus says that many people will have an access to recline with abraham isaac and jacob i'm part of that many what about you okay verse 12 and now we're gonna talk about some other many while the sons of the kingdom these are not sinners these are not people who are do not know god watch this these are not people who are far from god these are who who come on who are they any children of god we have in this room come on any children of god we have in this room all right so some of you we're gonna have an article for salvation because you're not sure I know you're a little bit scared right now of this verse but anybody is believes they're a child of god today come on come on praise me to god you're a child of god you might have not met your mama or your daddy you might not like family you came from but if you're a child of god it's a good reason to celebrate and thank god for that some people say you know I was born this way I was born that way when when you get born again you become part of a new family and that is a good thing somebody say amen and the bible says in verse 12 while the sons of the kingdom and this is where it gets a little bit ify gets thrown into the darkness in the place they'll be weeping and gnashing of teeth Jesus says many will come and recline with Abraham and it's the sons of the kingdom now in this verse we believe that he references to people who have a biological connection to Abraham by being born in a Jewish family he's not just relating to us Christians who are born again because we're born again we're going to heaven but Jesus in here says he references this to a particular guy who was a centurion who was not of a Jewish descent who comes and who had a great faith and Jesus says he says I've never found a faith like of this guy this guy's faith is the great you have to understand one thing not a lot of things can impress god god is not impressed with apple tv plus he's not impressed with apple's new credit card he's not impressed with pretty much nothing that comes out out of this planet god does go like oh wow that's surprising what god gets impressed by is how great of a faith a roman centurion who had a high position like a roman guy he had a hundred people that are responsible to him and accountable to him and jesus gets impressed by that he pauses for a moment before he declares healing to come into his house and he says let me tell you guys something I already have been in heaven I can see what's going to happen he says many will come from America many will come from Mexico many will come from India many will come from china and he says not only they will make it to heaven he says they're actually going to recline in one of their like special places with Abraham and he says some of you boys who think that just because you were born Jewish or some of you boys and girls who think that just because you're a member of the church he says you're not going to necessarily have that access and so as I'm reading this verse I ask myself a question today how can I be poor of the many I don't want to just have a son title I want to be part of those many who will come from the east and from the west and to recline at Abraham's dining table what did this centurion have that God wants us to have today a few things that I want to highlight right now that we're going to put it into practice he had a servant not a son who was sick he came to Jesus and begged it wasn't his son it wasn't his mama it wasn't his grandma the guy wasn't even a relative of his in those days if you had a servant who is sick you get rid of him and you go in the market and you buy a new one he easily could have got written that servant instead he goes in and looks for Jesus and begs Jesus to come and heal his servant not only that he stops Jesus in the middle and says you can't come into my house because I'm not good enough and he doesn't cancel the miracle because of his not good enough he says Jesus could you make it faster my unworthiness doesn't cancel my miracle I just want to speed it up and he says let me explain Jesus how this works I'm a man under authority I tell one guy to do it he does it I tell another guy to do it he does it and so I know you're a man also under authority and you walk in authority and I have soldiers you have words I tell my soldiers to go get a job done you can tell your word and your word can go and get a job done and your word travels a lot faster than my soldiers could you just release a word so my servant not a son not a mama not a mother-in-law not an uncle not an auntie not a nephew a servant it's just a property but could you release a word and my servant will be healed and Jesus pauses and says many will come to the kingdom and recline with Abraham but the sons will be cast out I want us right now to understand race to deliver conference is our opportunity to exercise compassion for people we don't know for people like centurion who you could easily say I don't care about them or who cares what's happening to somebody in some other state in some other country that's not my mom that's not my child that's not my relative that's not my who will sit with Abraham it's those who are not indifferent to the needs of people they're not related to can I ask Julia to come up can I ask Casey to come up completely unplanned they have no idea what's happening I don't know also so don't worry we're gonna be figuring this figuring this out as we go I don't know Julia last year I did not know that she had an accident where the driver of the car went on a yellow light and somebody else hit the car so bad that Julia end up paralyzed from neck down all of her nerves in her hands in her feet were completely dead she was tied to a wheelchair tied to a wheelchair she couldn't even hold her hands and she drank through a straw ate through a straw for six months and all while laying in Maryland paralyzed from neck down she told her parents do not buy me a wheelchair because that's not how I'm going to live they bought a wheelchair and a year ago at this time come to a city named Pasco and people saw her at the airport people saw her at the airport and at the aeroplane and they wheeled her up at the race to deliver conference the conference you were fasting for the conference you were praying for the conference we were giving for and the person you did not even know the person you they're not your relative they're not your mom they're not your cousin and your sister and the power of jesus came at that conference and the first service is her nerves came back she started to feel her nerves and in the next day or a little bit later she walked out from her wheelchair they got into a car and she the first place she went to to god be the glory to mcdonald's and ate with her hands and ate with her mouth this there is a julie that's coming in five days to triceries another one there is going to be another person that's coming that is not related to you and this conference for you or this retreat this this thing for you might be like oh this is great hunger jen is doing but i want to let you know god is not going to let people recline with abraham who only cared for their family it's those people who say god i know i have a position in a roman empire i know i have a title i know i am financially secure but my servant romans they get rid of their servants but there's something about me i can't just let him die i'm gonna ask you jesus to heal my servant he can't even get to you jesus he's so sick he is paralyzed but i'm gonna go there i'm gonna carve out time out of my busy schedule to see jesus i'm not even a jewish man he's not my son please heal my servant i want us next three days when we're gonna fast you know god is looking at that because some of you say but i'm fine but the people that are coming to this conference where you will see more wheelchairs at this conference than you've seen in your life i remember seeing one time of father who brought four mentally challenged daughters it's heartbreaking you see him holding please forgive me like animals because they're completely not in the right mind he's holding two of them on one hand two of them on the other hand crying say god touch my daughters i'm gonna mess your christianity up just a little bit because the guys who will be sharing a meal with abraham are not just those people who are building for one k finishing education building a nice house building a good ministry and caring for their own needs those things are great but god wants to graduate us a little bit higher if we're gonna make an impact on the nation god's this enlarge your heart come on somebody come on somebody some of you your comfort zone is just you're so comfortable right now in where you're staying and what i want to do is i want to stretch you right now because it's good that you have a position maybe you're like a centurion you have a management position in your company maybe you have millions of dollars in your bank account that is great but honestly can i tell you something that's gonna qualify you to sit with abraham in heaven and recline with abraham and abraham say so how was your life there so where did you live tell me more about it and you're gonna begin to share about what you've been doing for other people we're gonna take a moment to pray in a moment and i want us to pray that god will give us compassion for those that are not related to us for those that are they're not your blood heard a testimony yesterday of a young man david who for 18 years trained himself to go to the most remote remote area in india they said this is one of the last places on the planet that has not heard the gospel nobody even knows their language yet they don't even know how many people live there the government of india has put a blockage where you cannot go to that area they don't know whether 40 people live there or 500 and this young man studied for years he got all kinds of immunization he read a hundred books a year before turning 18 so he can go there he ran marathon so he can train his body he took different medications and then finally against the law he hired some people in the boat he packed himself and decided to go to that tribe first time he came waved and they started to shooting at him he pulled back next day he did it again and then the third day he finally broke through went in there only to be cut into pieces and they found his body all disfigured some of you saw it's all over the news some people call him crazy reckless they say how dare you what kind of a parents will let him do that some people have one mission he had a mission he wanted to bring the gospel to those people he's dead he died with his life but there there's gonna be a day where that tribe will be open to the gospel somebody sacrificed his life whole life his dreams his only desire was this i want an unknown tribe i'm not related to them i don't know i want him to hear about jesus i'm not asking you to give your body to be disfigured i'm asking you today could you make your heart just a little bit bigger that is not just for you and your family could you be like a centurion who could have easily honestly thrown that servant off the board and says get out of here you're no good to me but instead he goes in and looks to jesus's attention and jesus says i like that i came to die for the world you're like me you want to help others let's begin to ask god right now whatever you said it just began to put put your hand on your heart begin to say god give me

those that he did not have biological connection to father i pray that this coming race to deliver conference i pray this coming Easter service i pray father at this Guatemala trip i pray father god as we go about our life that we will be a people who will eventually will recline with Abraham god because we did not live just for our own self we did not live just for our own ministry we did not

treasure god we took him in as our own god we took their needs as our needs god we prayed we fasted and we gave lord god because their problem was our problem god we know that you have masses prepared for us god we know that you're gonna reach nations through our ministry god we know father that our ministry will touch the world through our music through our books god but i pray that you will put

compassion fall upon the church right now let fire fall right now holy spirit let fire fall right now holy spirit let fire fall right now holy spirit god it's not just about the masses god it's about that one it's about that one it's about that one Lord it's about that one Lord we pray for our hearts to be stretched God we pray for our hearts to be moved this morning Lord God that we will do something and we will step out of our comfort zone that we will step out of our complacency we will step out of our mediocrity God we will stop us step out of just sitting on the church pew and doing absolutely nothing with our life Lord that we will step out of just what's convenient to us Lord we all have certain conveniences that you will take us out of there God and we will see the miracles that we will see the miracles God that we will see the miracles in Jesus name I want you to see that is centurion he cares for for his servant and that compassion drives him to the Bible says this is that he came appealing to him saying Lord my servant is lying paralyzed at home suffering terribly I love the fact that he didn't just have the compassion but he comes to Jesus and he asks Jesus he asks Jesus is Jesus my servant is laying at home and he is suffering terribly suffering terribly suffering you know there's suffering when you have a fever running nose that is suffering when you strange your back and it's difficult to get into the car difficult to get up but there are sufferings that are terrible terrible I'm talking about not just mild not just the ones you can manage with a little bit of painkillers and a little bit of medicine but there are sufferings that are that are terrible like what happened to Julia what happened to Casey you know last year Casey came to our conference for the first time and Casey's story some of you know is is very very very difficult life that she lived at the young age her parents dedicated her to the religion of Satanism and for those of you who watch Chronicles of Sabrina and Netflix and others and you think that Satanism is just about spells and it's cool and it's nice and everything I want to tell you something those are TV shows those are not realities Satanism is not cool cute and sexy it's not just about horror it's about making you get pregnant so you can kill your own baby so you can get a certain access in Satanism it's being abused it's being raped it's being molested it's exactly what happened to Casey and demons one by one started to come into her life to the point that she started losing her mind your mind gets so much pressure that it breaks and it develops into fragments multiple personality it becomes you become schizophrenic you start hearing voices you become suicidal and well last year Casey came in you could have looked at her and said you know what I don't know who this person is but it's the person that was suffering terribly person who was looking for help we're not related to her none of you here in this room are but right there at that conference the spirit of God who's seen the years years and years of abuse and pain and trying to end her life he came and all the prayers you prayed God use those prayers to create an appointment and right there the devils and the demons when they came out of her she went back home not only the 13 or 15 medications that she took for 10 years she stops that but God started to give her hope her face brightened up and today Casey is finishing nine month internship program as a disciple of Jesus Christ today Casey is worshiping Jesus but it's not only that but Jesus treats people way way differently he comes to give people life and more abundantly Jesus doesn't abuse he heals people he heals their hearts he heals their soul and so for some of you who are coming today and saying why are you guys so crazy see that's why I'm crazy because it's not just for me it's not just emotion it's a life change it's a transformation of life it's somebody going from darkness into light it's somebody going from sickness into perfect health it's somebody who was slicing the wrist putting a knife to the throat trying to hang themselves to today lifting their hands and say Jesus you're the life giver Jesus you're the Prince of Peace Jesus you defeated the devil Jesus you raised me from the dead Jesus you gave me purpose and you gave me hope and I praise you and I love you and I worship you if Jesus has done something in your life lift your hands right now take next 60 seconds give God some praise give God some praise give God some praise give God some praise right now come on lift your voice hallelujah hallelujah we love you Lord we love you Lord come on few more seconds few more seconds lift your voice lift your voice lift your voice begin to thank him right now begin to thank him right now begin to thank him right now that Jesus rescues Jesus saves some of you you've now maybe done those things but you've done other things that Jesus had mercy on you holy Jesus we say you're holy come on every hand raised and now let us tell the Lord you are worthy come on every hand raised and now say Jesus you are worthy remember what he did for you remember how he saved you remember how he healed you remember how people look to just said they'll need you'll never make it remember how the devil laughed at you when you felt you're falling into the same thing and God stretched his hand and he picked you up from that thing that you couldn't pick yourself up remember when you were hopeless remember when you were purposeless when you thought life is over and God was standing on the other side and said devil watch me I'm not done with that one I will pick that one up I will place their feet upon the rock and they will testify oh my goodness and devil they will slap you and devil they will crush your kingdom and I will use that weak one I will use that difficult one I will use that addicted one to shake your kingdom devil how you feeling how do you feel about Jesus what do you feel like God is done in the last these last month last nine months it's been an incredible journey hasn't been easy but the support in Jesus's life changing there's no other high like him God is not done with Casey just like he's not done with you just like he's not done with me amen when people testify here it's not because their life that's it there's no more battles after that we're just thanking God for what he's done and trusting for what he's planning still to do but I want you to see this servant the Bible says he suffered terribly and some terrible sufferings are emotional some are spiritual and some are demonic we have people that are coming to this conference we have people that are coming to our services many times it's because the sufferings that they have are terrible and right now what we're gonna do is we're going to pray for every person the way this Centurion did he came to Jesus and he said my servant is lying terrorized at home suffering terribly I want to believe that at this conference we're gonna see more people getting out of wheelchairs than we ever seen before I am believing that at this conference we're gonna see many blind eyes open many deaf ears open I want to believe today that we're gonna pray for right now who have tumors and who are staring death in the face who are counting months because the doctor has told them that they have five or four months and comforting their children and I want to look today with them stand with them today in our prayer and look death in the face it says you're not gonna take that one I want to stand with those people today who have attempted suicide many times and they're staring that demon in the eye and want us to stand with them right now and look at that demon in the eye and say you're not gonna take that one in the name of Jesus for those who are suffering terribly we're gonna pray for them right now I told you this is not gonna be a conventional service but see to see stuff like this guys this stuff like that doesn't happen an accident somebody's praying for it somebody standing in the faith somebody say putting their food aside and saying Lord I want I want you to move on their behalf you saved me God you helped me you know I grew up in a Christian home my parents didn't they dedicate me to Satan I owe to people who didn't have that to pray for them I had one person come to me in Sioux Falls last week and say what why are people why is God allowing people in other nations who don't know him to go to hell I said bro you got this wrong why do you allow that God already gave his son God already gave his spirit and God gave you to them and why are you and I'm like and I don't want to be the person who will say God why are you allowed we got is asking what why is people like her in the radius of two hours from your church doing that while you just come by my Lord just all about me in the church I don't want to be that church I don't want to be that guy I don't want you to be that either we're gonna recline with Abraham why because we're not just living for ourselves we are proceeding for those who are suffering terribly join hands with the person next to you let's begin to pray for every person that is suffering every person that is struggling right now let's begin to pray right now that God is going to bring healing salvation and deliverance to them in Jesus mighty name hallelujah Holy Spirit right now Lord we pray God for healing Lord healing in the name of Jesus Lord not just now a race to deliver God but we are sending God send the messengers God send your Lord comfort your Holy Spirit God that people will be changed that they would be delivered God God what we would expect for our mom our brother our sister our family member God we expect you to do in the name of Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit Holy Spirit that what you said is a finished work Lord not because we are finished Lord but because you're just getting started in the mighty name of Jesus we declare your blood weaknesses God because you said it Lord this mighty name we ask your Holy Spirit sicknesses God that seems impossible we ask you that you give us such a heart God for servants God just like serve your mercy and ask you God do you grant God the mercy that you granted me I see God that we begin to care for those God that a lot of Jesus Christ we pray Spirit for your out we declare and decree father for your manifestation to come God and every demonic power to be removed in the name of Jesus over people's lives over our city give us a little bit more of your heart Jesus give us a little bit more of your fire give us a little bit more of your compassion break a heart for what breaks yours God that we will live for what you died for Jesus this coming month God whether it's in Guatemala whether it's in race to deliver whether it's an Easter service God that we will live for what you died for Jesus we love you God we love you God keep standing for just a moment if you physically can I want you to see this it says after that Jesus told him I will come and heal him I believe God's response to our prayer right now is I will come I will come to race to deliver I will come to Guatemala trip I will heal them I will show mercy on them I will show kindness on them I will help them but something happened from the time that he was prayed at prayer until until the coming the centurion felt insecure and he replied Lord I am not worthy to have you come under my roof but only say a word and my servant will be healed I want you to let you I want to let you know this is that anytime you can the presence of God you might be aware of your unworthiness you might be aware of your shortcomings you might be aware of the fact blood but I'm not my life is not what it's supposed to be I want to tell you this you can have a great faith anchored in a soul that doesn't feel worthy it's okay not to feel worthy as long as you know someone who is I don't feel worthy because I know someone who is worthy and that's why I say worthy Jesus if you don't feel worthy in this room today don't cancel your miracle don't say Jesus because I'm not worthy don't heal me no say Jesus because I'm not worthy heal me faster because I'm not worthy Jesus don't help me with my marriage because I messed up no no no the centurion did not say because I'm not worthy don't don't forget about the servants see so many people they cancel their miracle because of their unworthiness but I want to tell you something your unworthiness is not big enough to cancel God's love for you and therefore no matter how you feel about yourself right now no matter where you find yourself today right now you can tell God I'm not worthy but you say God I know you are worthy and I trust in your mercy I trust in your love I trust in your faithfulness and I trust in your compassion place your hand up on the part of your body without his pain I'm gonna pray that the word of God will come and heal your body right now in the name of Jesus fix your eyes on his worth not your worthiness your unworthiness put that aside release your faith as a Jesus you are faithful I know this problem maybe have been there for 20 years or 15 years in the name of Jesus Christ I commend that sickness in the name of Jesus right

always probably somebody who does not know the Lord as their personal Lord and Savior I'm gonna ask you something right now if I can ask you about to buy your head and close your eyes for just a moment if you're whether you've been coming for some time or maybe you're visiting us for the first time or perhaps you're watching this live stream right now and you're not where you're supposed to be with Jesus Christ you have not given your life to the Lord and maybe you just consider yourself as a religious person Christian or Catholic but you know you're not where you're supposed to be with God the Bible says it is appointed unto men to die and then that there's a judgment we're gonna face God and without relationship with Jesus that pays for our sin he pays for our sin if we don't receive that gift of salvation we have to pay for our own sins and that payment the Bible says is eternal death it's separation from God it's just you paying your dues but Jesus knows that you cannot pay that on your own so he came and took that payment for you and today he's offering you a free gift of salvation it's free for you but it cost him his dear life if you're recognizing that you are in need of that salvation you're in need of that forgiveness maybe your life is falling apart or perhaps your life is good on the outside but your world on the inside is so empty you're looking for something I know what you're looking for it's not something it's someone his name is Jesus it's not an accident that you are in this room today it's not an accident that you found this with how you found this church it's not an accident you're watching us on live stream right now the Lord is knocking on your heart if you're not what you're supposed to be with the Lord or you don't know Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior I will count to three and when I do so I'm gonna ask you to slip up your hand so I can pray with you if you're watching us on live stream you can comment below and say I want to get right with God and the online moderator will connect with you right there if you're not what you're supposed to be with the Lord I count to three the devil's gonna already whisper to you right now and say don't you dare to do it you're fine don't you dare to do it but I'm telling you that's the devil push the devil aside because he wants to drag you to hell with him he wants to keep you in your life to be the same way as it is right now but today we're gonna embarrass the devil and we're gonna bring you the gift that Jesus died for you to give that is new life one two three
