00:13 Welcome back!
00:14 Edwin I want to thank you for joining us. 00:16 Your Ministry is Our Higher Calling. 00:18 We have interviewed, on this season, a number of 00:22 people in your Ministry, today two of you, 00:23 with you and Siki. 00:25 I would like to say a little bit more about what was 00:30 shared today with us and then close in prayer. 00:33 Would that be are right? 00:34 Amen, well as a Ministry I just want to let you know 00:37 that you can have victory 00:39 in your life. 00:40 Because a lot of us came from a background where you would 00:43 think that you couldn't even get out of the situation 00:46 that you are in. 00:47 You feel that way sometimes, but Jesus can do this 00:50 for you if you will just give your heart to Him and 00:52 allow Him to take over. 00:54 He wants to. 00:55 He wants to and He definitely can. 00:57 People think that He can't do it. 00:59 You know you think that because I have been doing this 01:01 all my life, or I have been in this situation all my 01:03 life and it is impossible, 01:05 but with Him all things are possible. 01:06 You just have to give it to Him and let Him take control. 01:09 Alright so pray for us. 01:11 Let's have a prayer. 01:13 Heavenly Father, we thank You because You have given us 01:17 the opportunity to share our testimonies to those 01:21 who are in need. 01:22 We asked Oh Lord, that as we continue on in our Ministry 01:26 that we reach those Father who are in need. 01:29 Those who are listening and those who are hearing Father, 01:32 and let them understand as the word of God says, 01:35 that Your Son, Jesus Christ, as a man, 01:37 learned obedience through suffering. 01:39 We ask Father, You teach them through the suffering 01:42 they are going through, the obedience that Your Son, 01:45 Jesus Christ had and that You give them victory over 01:48 any sin that they are involved, or any addiction that 01:51 You will show them You really are the way, the truth, 01:54 and the life, just like Jesus Christ said He was. 01:57 Thank you for everything that You have done, bless us, 02:00 and bless those who are listening and watching. 02:02 In Jesus name we pray, Amen! 02:04 You know it is really fun to me because when Edwin 02:08 talks about God just help them with addiction and that 02:12 stuff, what is really amazing is the more I get into the 02:15 word of God it says that He delights in our healing. 02:18 Isaiah 57:17 says, that I delight in your healing. 02:22 I see that you are a mess. 02:24 I know where you struggle, I know the fact that with 02:27 my mom, try to self abort six different times. 02:30 She was 14 years old when she had me 02:32 and did know a thing. 02:33 So she couldn't teach me anything. 02:34 So when I step in front of God I don't know anything. 02:38 When somebody says I just want you to love each other. 02:41 I don't know what that means. 02:42 God says, I am excited to teach you. 02:45 I want to step into your life. 02:47 I want to change everything and take every lie, 02:51 every addiction, every twisted thing that you have 02:55 learned to like and I want to free you from that. 02:58 What is really interesting is that as He frees us, 03:02 as He's teaching me not to lie and manipulate, I feel 03:05 like a weight has fallen off from me. 03:07 As He teaches me to laugh out loud, 03:09 not over somebody falling, 03:11 but over just good stuff. 03:13 As He teaches me to get outside and take a deep breath, 03:15 I just realize that I have wanted to breathe 03:18 my whole life. 03:19 I didn't even know how, did you know I wasn't breathing. 03:22 I think what I do that all of heaven just says look at 03:25 her, she is actually growing. 03:28 I hope that for you, I hope you have the same 03:32 experience that you saw Siki have an Edwin have 03:35 where God stepped in and stepped into situations where 03:39 they were a little twisted, little dark, 03:41 seemed overwhelming and little by little these guys 03:45 stood up and realize not only can they get their own 03:49 freedom but there are people in bondage. 03:52 There are people strung out. 03:53 There are people that don't know that they have 03:56 the ability to step out of these addictions 03:58 all over the world. 04:00 All of these men from this ministry said that they 04:03 don't care where you send me, God send me there because 04:06 I want to tell them that there is freedom in Christ. 04:09 I don't care what 12 step program you are on, 04:11 I don't care what program you belong to. 04:13 I don't care if what you are doing with your recovery, 04:17 if you are not handing it over to God, 04:19 I think eventually you will trip up. 04:21 I can't within myself pull anything good out, 04:24 I can't it is not in there. 04:26 I am a manipulator. 04:28 I am damaged and God is not. 04:30 God says, trust Me step over here and not only will I 04:33 give you everything from Me, 04:35 I will give you the ability to feel what it feels 04:38 like to be honest. 04:39 To feel what it feels like to be alive 04:41 and not strung out. 04:42 I'm like, I love that, and want that, and I accept that. 04:46 So God bless you, and try Him, trust Him. 04:50 See you next week. |
