Summary
Bishop Henry Fernandez challenges believers to embrace their global responsibility to spread the gospel, emphasizing that through the Holy Spirit and modern technology, every disciple is equipped to share the good news of Jesus Christ with the entire world.
Key points
- •Believers have a global mandate to go beyond their local cities and reach all nations through the Great Commission.
- •Jesus provides both the authority and the presence of the Holy Spirit to empower disciples for this task, meaning fear has no place.
- •Modern technology (social media, the internet, and phones) provides unprecedented tools for believers to fulfill their responsibility to share the gospel.
- •The primary message of the global church must be 'good news' centered on God's love and the salvation of Jesus Christ, rather than messages of doom or personal conviction.
- •Spiritual maturity involves shifting focus from material possessions to the eternal goal of discipleship.

Purpose
Life application
This week, use your social media or personal technology to share one specific message of hope or a gospel-centered resource with your network, choosing to be a voice of good news rather than participating in negative or fearful discourse.
Reflection questions
- In what ways have you let fear or negative news drown out the 'good news' you are called to share?
- How can you view your social media presence not just as a personal platform, but as a tool for global discipleship?
- What does it mean to you that Jesus promised to be with us 'to the end of the age' while we fulfill his commission?
- Are there areas where you have focused more on material success than on your primary responsibility to reach the lost?

3:16we had a powerful time all right so on
3:19week 7 our subject is global
3:23responsibility global responsibility and
3:27this topic is so befitting it's so
3:30appropriate for what we're dealing with
3:33right now we're dealing with a global
3:36pandemic this is just not something in
3:40China or some of the parts of the world
3:42it is here in America but it's also
3:46global right it is a global pandemic and
3:51we're gonna talk about our global
3:54responsibility as a people what is our
3:58response to what's happening globally I
4:03mean do do we Christians the disciples
4:07of Christ do we have a voice is there a
4:10message that we're sending
4:12what is our message to the world I
4:15believe that God has called us to be
4:22environmentally friendly to the world
4:25not just in a sense of ensuring that the
4:29world is preserved you know and and
4:33making sure we have clean air and energy
4:36and all those kinds of things but I also
4:39believe it is our duty as Christians to
4:43share our faith and to get the gospel
4:45out to the lost and what a perfect time
4:48this is the perfect time to get it done
4:53well let's go to our first Scripture and
4:55that is Matthew 28 and we'll begin at
5:02verse 18 Matthew 28 verse 18 and here we
5:10will see the global charge that Jesus
5:14gave us you know this is not just for
5:16the pastor's the bishops the evangelists
5:19the ministers you know are certain you
5:23know elected few in the body of Christ
5:26Jesus was talking to his disciples and
5:30you and I we are followers of Jesus
5:33Christ we are his disciples as
5:34ambassadors and here's what he said in
5:37Matthew 18 Matthew 28 I'm sorry Matthew
5:4328 and we would look at verse 18 and I'm
5:48reading from the NIV verse 18 says then
5:53Jesus came to them and said all
5:57authority in heaven and on earth has
6:01been given to me let's pause there for a
6:03moment so Jesus was about to give the
6:08disciples one of the greatest charge
6:10they'll ever had in his entire ministry
6:14and the first thing he said to them all
6:18power in heaven and on the earth was
6:23given to me
6:25I have the power I have the power to do
6:29what I'm called to do because you see
6:33the disciples were going to question how
6:37we going to do this charge or how we
6:40going to do the Great Commission is it
6:43possible for us to go into the world and
6:46preach the gospel how are we going to
6:48accomplish this we don't have the
6:49resources we don't have the tools you
6:52know how are we going to get this done
6:54by the way Jesus you're about to leave
6:57us and you know last I heard they're
7:00trying to kill all of your disciples how
7:02are we going to do this so I think that
7:06Jesus was setting this in order if you
7:10will setting things in motion trying to
7:12be ahead of the disciples so therefore
7:15he said to them all authority in heaven
7:17and on earth has been given to me then
7:21verse 19 therefore now that you know I
7:24have the power to do it I have the power
7:27to say what I want to say I have the
7:30power to anoint or to appoint anyone to
7:35do anything therefore go and make
7:38disciples of all nations baptizing them
7:42in the name of the Father and of the Son
7:44and of the Holy Ghost and teach them to
7:48obey everything I have commanded you and
7:51surely I am with you always to the end
7:56of the age I want to read that again
7:59verse 19 therefore go and make disciples
8:03of all nations of all nations baptizing
8:08them in the name of the Father and of
8:10the Son and of the Holy Spirit so we
8:13have a global responsibility even in
8:16this crisis you know just because we're
8:19going through a crisis it's because
8:21everything is pretty much shut down all
8:24over the world that that we Christians
8:27should then shut our mouths and don't
8:30say anything we have a responsibility a
8:34global responsibility to
8:37it's the gospel around the world
8:39wherever we go wherever you live and and
8:42we have all the tools right now I am
8:45here in the city of sunrise Fort
8:48Lauderdale Florida and there are people
8:50all over the globe watching this there
8:53are people all over the globe here in
8:56the gospel preached to them they're
8:58people all over the globe will now have
9:00an opportunity to hear life-changing
9:03words can you imagine if all of us will
9:07use modern technology to advance the
9:11gospel to go and make disciples make
9:14disciples in other words your job is to
9:17go out and encourage people to do the
9:20same thing that you're doing and that is
9:23you're a follower of Jesus Christ so
9:26Jesus says go and make people follow me
9:31hmm that's really what he was saying
9:33make disciples convince them to follow
9:38you as you follow Christ are you hearing
9:42me and then he says in verse 20 and
9:44teach them to obey everything I have
9:48commanded you and surely I am with you
9:52always to the very end of the age now if
9:57I had time I would elaborate a little
9:59bit more on the latter part of that
10:02verse and surely I am with you always
10:04I'm with you always that is a guarantee
10:09that if we dare to go and make disciples
10:13that Jesus is saying that I'll be with
10:16you to the end to the end I think it was
10:20Sunday I preached a message that the
10:23church is still alive
10:24I mean Satan can't kill the church there
10:27is it is impossible he cannot kill the
10:30church he cannot destroy us
10:32he's tried it from the beginning of
10:35creation until this day and he is a
10:38loser so we have the the Great
10:41Commission the Great Commission the
10:43great responsibility the global
10:45responsibility to share our faith some
10:48of you perhaps you were thinking that
10:51you as a follower of Jesus Christ that
10:54may be your your reach is just your city
10:58your reach is perhaps just your home
11:00your reach is maybe your workplace your
11:02reach is probably just your city some of
11:04you think that God is an American God
11:06you know and he's exclusive for America
11:10so therefore we think that he's not the
11:13God of the world but not according to
11:15this scripture our job is to go into the
11:18world because John 3:16 tells us for God
11:21so loved the world not just America not
11:26just wherever you live
11:27God is in love with the entire world
11:30that he sent his son to die for our sins
11:35for the sins of the world and that's
11:37what we're celebrating now as we enter
11:39into Passover Friday were celebrating
11:42the death the crucifixion the burial of
11:45Jesus Christ and of course on Sunday
11:48Resurrection Sunday we know that he
11:51lives today he's sitting at the right
11:53hand of God the Father so we have that
11:56global responsibility to spread the word
11:59the Word of God and to be
12:01environmentally conscious of the fact
12:05that we are called to preach the gospel
12:08it is amazing it is amazing how this
12:12shutdown has caused all of us - I think
12:16prioritize our lives you know I mean
12:20what we thought was important to us is
12:22no longer important right I mean we were
12:25just doing everything to get material
12:27things and and and do all the other
12:29stuff that that perhaps they're not all
12:31wrong you know I try to tell people
12:34being blessed and walking in the
12:36blessing and having good things God's
12:38not mad with you when you prosper he's
12:42not mad with you when you're blessed
12:44just because you don't have it doesn't
12:46mean you ought to cut down somebody else
12:47that possess it you know and there's
12:50plenty for all of us there's plenty for
12:53all of us however we shouldn't allow
12:55things to have us we shouldn't allow
12:58things to separate us from God that's
13:01why Matthew 6:33 tells us
13:04first the kingdom of God and His
13:07righteousness and all everything
13:10everything you need will be added unto
13:13you
13:14so I encourage you encourage you every
13:17believer that's out there if you are a
13:20Christian and you are watching right now
13:22I am encouraging you get that passion in
13:26your spirit to be a disciple to go out
13:30and disciple people and to see it as a
13:34global responsibility that that your
13:37reach should be globally you've got your
13:39phones your you've got social media
13:42you've got Facebook Instagram Twitter
13:45and then there plenty more out there and
13:47you've got the internet you got YouTube
13:50you've got so many things out there for
13:54you to use to spread the gospel let's
13:56use them now we can reach the world we
13:59can reach the world with the gospel of
14:01Jesus Christ let's go to Acts chapter 1
14:06and we look at verse 8 Acts chapter 1
14:09and verse 8 because I think for many of
14:14us we will think that do we really have
14:16the power well I told you in Matthew 28
14:19that Jesus says the power is given to
14:21him right and and therefore he was
14:24trying to help the disciples to
14:27understand that that that you've got the
14:29power
14:30why because I possess the power and the
14:32authority to give you the power we can
14:35do this we can do this we don't have to
14:38panic in this world we don't have to
14:40think that okay the world is is this
14:43gonna be burnt up and the world is
14:45collapsing and everything like that look
14:47we aren't we all know what the end of
14:48the world will be but remember we are
14:52the agents that God placed on the earth
14:54where the ambassador's our job is to get
14:58this message of hope out to the world
15:00it's a global message it's not inclusive
15:04it's not just for a few people it is a
15:07global message so Acts chapter 1 verse 8
15:12it says but you will receive power power
15:15same
15:16power that Jesus spoke about same power
15:19same anointing same power same authority
15:23he says you shall receive that when the
15:26Holy Spirit comes upon you when the Holy
15:29Spirit comes upon you and and there's
15:32some of you right now you're thinking I
15:35don't have the power to do this you know
15:37I'm a little bit shy and a little bit
15:39this and so forth now if you tell
15:41yourself that you'll never do it but if
15:43you tell yourself greater is He Who is
15:45in me than he that is in the world that
15:48you have the power God has already
15:50anointed you and equipped you to get the
15:53job you can to get the job done I should
15:56say you can reach your area of influence
15:59if you make yourself available so he
16:04says but you shall receive power when
16:06the Holy Spirit comes upon you and you
16:08will be my witnesses in their people
16:11perhaps who have never really heard
16:13watch this the pure message of the word
16:17of God in our country in America there
16:20is just so many so many things out there
16:24so many messages out there you know I
16:28tell people this all the time if you're
16:30not careful even even with Christian
16:33television I don't care if it's 24 hours
16:36it's it's almost every 30 minutes you
16:40get a different version of Jesus and
16:44while that can be positive in one sense
16:47sometimes the messages can be confusing
16:51right the messages can be confusing and
16:53first half hour that Jesus is painted
16:57this way next half hour Jesus is painted
16:58this way and and for the believer we're
17:01confused so so if we're confused can you
17:03imagine the unbeliever they're totally
17:05confused so so sometimes if you're not
17:08careful in the clutter
17:10we don't really hear the pure gospel and
17:13that's where you and I will come in our
17:16job is to get the gospel of Jesus out
17:20I've always been passionate about this I
17:23believe my my number one duty as a
17:26spiritual leader
17:28it's the disciple people into
17:30the kingdom of God and of course to
17:32empower them to live a successful life
17:34on the earth because I'm gonna do that
17:37that's my responsibility to teach them
17:39to edify to mature the body of Christ
17:42we're gonna do that however if you can't
17:45get the the first part of our
17:47responsibility right then we're gonna
17:49lose it then our focus is going to be
17:52off because you can't just think that
17:55God placed us believers on the earth
17:58just to walk around and just to possess
18:01everything on the earth because we're
18:03all going to leave it here naked we came
18:06into this world and we're gonna be
18:09leaving naked I have done and officiated
18:13over so many funerals so many and I've
18:18been doing this now a pastor in this
18:21church for 29 years and pretty much in
18:24the gospel for about 35 years I've never
18:28never ever in my entire life seen
18:33someone in the casket with their
18:36possession nobody have their deed in
18:39their to their property their cars
18:41nobody's got bank accounts or their cash
18:43money in there I'm dying
18:45maybe you've heard but I don't know and
18:49if you know you know if somebody buried
18:52themselves with a million dollars please
18:54tell me where they're at just tell me
18:57because nobody will do that see we come
19:01into this world naked and we're gonna
19:02leave naked so while we're trying to go
19:07after all of these material things on
19:10the earth which is okay make sure that
19:14we take care of our primary
19:15responsibility and that is to send a
19:18global message that's why I command and
19:22charge the Church of Jesus Christ to
19:24make sure that we're sending one message
19:27but Jesus Saves to the utmost Jesus
19:32Saves and that he loves people that yes
19:35he hates sin and of course he's going to
19:38punish sin but we must send a message of
19:40love to let people know for God so loved
19:43the world
19:44world let's be careful are we walk
19:46around and we just send in messages of
19:48doom and damnation to people and just
19:52making people think that okay god will
19:55never love them remember the Bible
19:59teaches us if we confess with our mouth
20:01and we believe in our hearts that Jesus
20:06died for us and was raised from the dead
20:09that so we must believe that our sins
20:13are forgiven if that's what we're
20:15confessing then that same grace that has
20:17been extended to us we must now extend
20:20it to people especially in this time
20:22where so many people are in the hospital
20:24so many people are fearful about this
20:27virus I mean there's just a spirit of
20:29fear you just go everywhere there's a
20:31spirit of fear and and I want to talk to
20:34those of you right now if you're a
20:35believer please look at me carefully
20:37you're a believer and I understand it
20:40can be overwhelming it could be it could
20:43be it can really be too much I get that
20:47but let me just encourage you God has
20:50not given you the spirit of fear let me
20:53tell you to do what you can do you can
20:55do a few things and this will really
20:57help you first of all you need to shut
20:59down anything that's negative that
21:02that's your first step stop it
21:05maybe you just need to stop listening to
21:07the news just shut it down because some
21:10of you your personalities of such that
21:13that that you panic in any little bad
21:16news you hear all of a sudden you're in
21:18this panic mode just just no more no
21:21more news well the past I want to be
21:24informed that's the problem just to shut
21:27it down for a minute that's what I did I
21:30mean I just no I don't want to hear it I
21:32just I can't deal with that because some
21:36of it is just fiction it's not true and
21:38and no I don't want to hear that because
21:41I believe what what God wants me to hear
21:44he will if I'm led by the Spirit of God
21:46to shut that down because I don't want
21:49my message to the world be tainted with
21:54fear so
21:56don't don't listen to the news and check
21:59your air gate check who's talking to you
22:01check who's calling you and just be
22:04careful
22:04maybe you just need to take a fast from
22:06social media for a moment you know just
22:09just be careful all kinds of stuff
22:11people are gonna send all kind of stuff
22:13to you and they're gonna scare the
22:15daylight out of you cuz at the end of
22:18the day you know okay let's say they
22:20send your video that the rapture is
22:21coming in okay hey if you reading your
22:24Bible if I will told you then that
22:26that's gonna happen and by the way if
22:29it's even true if it's the endtime and
22:32God is coming in seven days hallelujah
22:36praise the Lord are you ready
22:38cuz if you're ready then no problem we
22:41ain't got to pay no more mortgages no
22:43more car knows no more child support no
22:46more feeding of the kids no more nothing
22:48already got we're out of here praise the
22:51Lord hallelujah you see to be absent in
22:55the body is to be present with the Lord
22:57and and though sometimes we're saddened
23:00by certain things like even today one of
23:02our pastors in our church he went home
23:05to be with the Lord I mean when I got
23:07the news early this morning that
23:08literally took me I mean it but I had to
23:12say wait wait wait wait wait wait wait
23:13okay
23:14okay God okay I I know pastor Robeson he
23:17would want me to rejoice well pretty god
23:20cuz when I tell you this was a faithful
23:23servant a sermon of God faithful anybody
23:26who was sick in the hospital one of his
23:28responsibilities as one of the pastor's
23:30here was to go and visit the sick and
23:32faithfully he would do that and I
23:36believe he's receiving his reward now I
23:38really do believe I honestly do believe
23:41if pastor Robeson would stand before us

23:45and we say would you would you like to
23:47come back here or in exchange for where
23:50you are he will tell you absolutely not

24:01new body he's not gonna come back here
24:03to deal with the sickness and the stress
24:06of life you see this is the
24:09since we send to the world the message
24:12that says we have the power the Holy
24:14Spirit has given us the power and and we

24:31sending to your community and to your
24:33family many of them are looking to you
24:35because you've been preaching Jesus all
24:37these years many of your co-workers the
24:42whole world knows that you are a
24:43Christian and you cannot hold your head
24:46down you gotta be like Jesus
24:49as you're celebrating Passover he had
24:52the last supper with his disciples and
24:54he knew that he was going to be
24:56crucified he knew that he was going to
24:59be put to death
25:00yet he was willing to go all the way and
25:03I'm telling you you ought to go all the
25:05way with Jesus and send that message
25:08globally around the world become a
25:10witness that for God you live and for
25:14God you die that you're not living for
25:17Jesus just for the fish and the bread
25:19you're not living just when he blesses
25:22you you're not serving him because he
25:24gives you stuff you are serving him no
25:27matter what you are willing to go
25:29through the Fellowship of his suffering
25:32poverty God hallelujah that's the
25:35message you're to send globally to the
25:39world let's go to mark 16 verse 15 I
25:44hope you're getting something out of
25:46this man because I'm telling you man we
25:48have a message we have a message to send
25:51to this world we have a message and our
25:54message is yes the Lord is coming back
25:57but while we're here
25:59we must occupy we must occupy we must
26:02occupy and while others are prophesying
26:05that the coronavirus is going to wipe us
26:07out and it's going to be the rapture
26:08uh-uh
26:09I'm thinking that way glory to God I'm
26:12believing that God has still God still
26:16have more work I should say for us on
26:18the earth there's still more work for us
26:20to do blow
26:21god there's still more people there more
26:24people on the earth to be born again
26:26I don't want the rapture to come now and
26:29these people are lost forever
26:31that's why we have been empowered by
26:34Jesus Christ the Holy Spirit has
26:36empowered us to go and preach the gospel
26:40globally there people in India it was
26:44yeah Monday I was here at a prayer
26:48service and and people from India was
26:51watching India do you know how many
26:54people are in India do you know how many
26:56people are in China do you know how many
27:00people are in Europe the Caribbean there
27:02people all over the world who have yet
27:05to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ and
27:08then Mark 16:15 and then he told them he
27:14says go into the world and preach the
27:17good news to everyone go into the world
27:22and preach the good news to everyone not
27:25the bad news I'm telling you man I'm
27:28telling you I know some of your rebuking
27:30me right now you're like see see you
27:32preachers don't want to preach the Word
27:34of God and preach Hellfire brimstone on
27:36people you keep preaching hell I keep
27:39preaching the love of Jesus I keep
27:41preaching cuz see the key is the more
27:43you keep preaching hell hell hell hell
27:45then what is the option it's like when I
27:47you know praise the Lord my mom's bless
27:49your mom forgive me for saying this my
27:51mom used to beat the crap out of me my
27:53goodness I got so much whipping all my
27:56life and and I wasn't a bad boy praise
27:58Jesus
27:59I mean I got a lot of whippin but mom
28:01used to whip me and she used to tell me
28:03she's to tell me you know she would say
28:05you know this hurt me more hurt she
28:08really pretty mom I'm the one feeling
28:14this but the point I'm making you know
28:17as parents you know we go out there and
28:20we try to discipline our children and we
28:24beat them we beat them we beat them we
28:25hit them and we always tell them what
28:29they're doing wrong but never
28:32take the time out to show them when
28:36they're doing right or at least point
28:39them to what you want them to do there's
28:42a lot of Christians around the world
28:44especially in this country if this
28:48listen to their message is that good
28:51news no and I know because for some
28:54reason I don't know what Bible they're
28:56reading their messages constantly about
29:00God is looking to whip us God's looking
29:04to put us into hell maybe if we can just
29:08give people an option maybe the good
29:11news is to say you don't have to live
29:13that kind of a life Jesus can turn your
29:16life around he's your only option he is
29:19the best option come and serve Him he's
29:21a loving God he's a forgiving God the
29:24good news of the gospel that he wants to
29:27heal you he wants to deliver you our
29:30country so divided not only politically
29:34but it's divided into what I call racism
29:40classism I mean they're just so many
29:44classes of separation in our country and
29:49the the negative vibes that we get is
29:52horrible and and what what what saddens
29:55my heart is when I look on social media
30:00and I look on television and listen to
30:02the radio and the churches participating
30:06in that I mean it's hard I mean it's
30:11literally to the point of a break in my
30:15heart that how could we the salt and
30:18light become a part of the darkness
30:21because we're not preaching the good
30:23news he said going to the world and
30:25preach the good news don't preach what
30:27you want to preach don't preach a
30:29conviction so many of us our message is
30:31our own message God gave you a message
30:34of conviction for yourself not for the
30:36world so be careful be careful that when
30:41you go out then you're preaching all of
30:43this
30:45Oh fire brimstone all kinds of stuff you
30:47preaching be careful that you're
30:50probably preaching to yourself and just
30:52because God have a message for you
30:54doesn't mean that's the message for the
30:56world the message we ought to be
30:58preaching to the world is to bring them
31:00to Christ and somehow the church has
31:03lost that but what an opportunity what
31:06an opportunity we have now our buildings
31:09are empty so we can't come here on the
31:13property anymore for right now to have
31:15service and so forth but you're
31:17streaming you're streaming you're locked
31:20into your houses now you can't say well
31:24I'm tired you know I'm exhausted because
31:26I've been working all day and so you
31:29can't you can't complain about that now
31:31so as as the church are you taking on
31:35the responsibility of sharing your faith
31:38and making it be a global message and a
31:42message that is centered around the good
31:46news of the gospel of Jesus Christ I
31:49want to go back and I want to read Acts
31:52chapter 1 verse 8 and then I'll give you
31:56this week's challenge amen and I see
32:01several of you you are posting your
32:04comments and so forth thank you so much
32:06Sharon is saying keep away from
32:10negativity that said just get away from
32:12those things man amen somebody's saying
32:15absolutely preach it Bishop I will Acts
32:19chapter 1 verse 8 it says but you shall
32:22receive power when the Holy Spirit comes
32:25upon you you shall receive power when
32:27the Holy Spirit comes upon you I grew up
32:30old-school Pentecostal and we were
32:34taught back in the days that when you
32:36are born again you have to tarry for the
32:38Holy Spirit y'all remember that the
32:40tariff of the Holy Spirit and they will
32:43have tearing service you know forgive me
32:45those of you who have no clue what I'm
32:47talking about
32:48but I'll give you you little school and
32:51how we grew up and
32:52and they'll have the service and the
32:54musicians will play in and and the way
32:57we get filled with the Holy Spirit is
32:58the faster they sing the song and then
33:01you have two ladies in your ears once
33:03they call them a little loud and the
33:04other one says reach out you know
33:05sometimes you have to say y'all better
33:07leave me alone let me get the Holy
33:09Spirit cuz I mean they would I mean then
33:12they sincerely meant it but then as you
33:16get into the Word of God you'll find
33:18that that's not scriptural it's not
33:21biblical it's not wearing the Bible it
33:24says you are to dare for the Holy Spirit
33:25so okay Terry here for the Holy Ghost
33:27that's on the day of Pentecost you see
33:31you got to remember come on you gotta
33:33said to the Word of God when Jesus was
33:36on the earth Jesus the Son of God was
33:40God's presence on the earth that was God
33:44on the earth and then when Jesus
33:48finished his assignment he then said the
33:52Holy Spirit the comforter will then come
33:57the presence of God will then come in
34:00the earth so when Jesus left the Holy
34:03Spirit came and Jesus instructed the
34:09disciples go into the upper room tarry
34:11there for the Holy Spirit and of course
34:13she came he's on the earth he's now
34:16living on the inside of us so once you
34:18are born again listen and I know if you
34:21listen just if you've been taught in
34:25your denomination that you have to tear
34:30for the Holy Spirit I get it I'm not
34:32gonna argue with you about that all I'm
34:34just saying okay here what your
34:37denomination is teaching you but going
34:39to the Word of God study the Word of God
34:41and you now have a choice you either
34:43believe your denomination or you're
34:45going to believe the Word of God pick
34:48your choice right because the Word of
34:51God clearly tells us that we who are
34:55born again in Christ we are filled with
34:58the Holy Spirit we have the Holy Spirit
35:00but we need the manifestation of the
35:03Holy Spirit now how does the manifest
35:05you ask the Holy Spirit to speak through
35:07you like for example I'm preaching to
35:09you right now and I've been empowered by
35:13the Holy Spirit to speak to you though I
35:17am Henry I'm human I'm a man I'm an
35:22anointed man of God because the Holy
35:24Spirit has anointed me to preach the
35:27good news
35:27so he's flowing through me so the point
35:31I'm making every one of you as a
35:34disciple of Christ you have the power of
35:37the Holy Spirit in you
35:40he's already dwelling on the inside of
35:43you you don't need a Terry for him you
35:47don't need to wait for him he's already
35:50on the inside of you all you need to do
35:52is to yield yourself to him say Holy
35:54Spirit I yield myself to you I open up
35:59my life to you use me there's a song
36:02that says if you can use anything Lord
36:06use me use me Lord touch my mind touch
36:13my lips touch my hearing touch what I
36:15see if you can use anything Lord use me
36:20use me so I can take this message to the
36:24world so I can make it a global message
36:28of the good news of the gospel of Jesus
36:31Christ but you will receive power when
36:34the Holy Spirit come upon you
36:36he's already on you come on now
36:39let him speak through you let that bold
36:43spirit that is in you let it come alive
36:47and stand up to your family you tell
36:51them about Jesus stand up to your
36:54co-workers in the phone calls you get
36:57posting stories of miracles and faith
37:02and scriptures and even when you see
37:06negative comments and statements you
37:10have two choices one you can shut it
37:14down ignore it or you can interject
37:16positivity in it right when you get a
37:21phone call because you're a disciple of
37:24Christ you don't want to be derailed
37:27so therefore when somebody starts
37:30talking in a negative way shut it down
37:33walk away from it walk away and you know
37:36it unless you are negative just like
37:38that person unless you're just like that
37:42person because you know again my mother
37:43birds of a feather flock together
37:47so if you're negative you're always
37:50looking for the bad in people you're
37:53always criticizing people you know
37:56everybody else is wrong everybody else
37:58doing things that is wrong but you're
38:00always perfect you see if you're like
38:02that of course you're going to fine
38:04people because misery loves company but
38:08oh when you are for the good news when
38:13you want to see people's lives
38:14transformed when you want to see the
38:17glory and the power of God hit the whole
38:20earth you protect your space and that's
38:26what I'm saying to you today protect
38:28your space the Holy Spirit will come
38:30upon you and make you witnesses in
38:33Jerusalem to the ends of the earth
