I could tell by that accent. 01:14 Yeah, yeah, it comes out every now and then. 01:15 Yeah. 01:17 Part of a two-parent house, Father and Mother, 01:20 didn't really go to church. 01:22 In fact, we really never went to the church, 01:24 maybe on Easter and Christmas. 01:25 Okay. 01:26 My dad was a preacher, back in Barbados. 01:29 Okay. 01:30 And now, he doesn't believe in God at all. 01:32 Wow! 01:33 So, we were in a environment 01:35 where there was not a lot of Jesus 01:37 in our house at all. 01:38 Okay, okay. 01:39 Now I currently go to Oakwood University 01:41 in Huntsville, Alabama, 01:43 taking theology as God is leading me to. 01:45 And, you know, that's... 01:48 So growing up in your home, you said, 01:50 you only went to the church on major holidays pretty much? 01:52 Correct. 01:54 What was the religious background? 01:55 Now, did you grow up Adventist? 01:56 Did you grow up... 01:58 What was the denomination? 01:59 Growing up... 02:01 Growing up, we really didn't, really attend church. 02:04 Now up on the age of maybe 16 or 18, 02:07 when God decided to tug my heartstrings, 02:09 I became a Christian. 02:11 And I've been part of many different churches, 02:13 whether it's Pentecostal, whether it's Baptist, 02:16 and it was only until about four, five years ago 02:20 that I became Adventist. 02:21 Okay. So what led you to Seventh-day Adventism? 02:25 It was my wife. Okay. 02:26 It was my wife. 02:27 When I met my wife, she came to me saying that 02:30 she was an Adventist and how the Sabbath is real. 02:32 Okay. And I said, "Well, no, it's not." 02:34 You know, "That was on the cross, 02:36 you know. 02:37 That was put on the cross. It's no longer any more." 02:39 So we would always argue. Okay. 02:41 And she would say, "I will let the Holy Spirit deal with you." 02:43 I was like, "Yeah, whatever, whatever." 02:45 So, one day, when we were about to argue again, 02:48 she said to me, 02:50 "Jason, are you aware that Satan is a counterfeiter?" 02:54 And I said, "Yeah, he is." Yeah. 02:55 So, she said, "Well, do you know 02:57 that he counterfeited the Sabbath day for Sunday?" 02:59 Wow! 03:01 Now, out of everything she's ever told me, 03:02 my head kind of like, "Hmm, okay." 03:06 So what I did then, 03:08 I went back to God and I said, 03:09 "God, both of these days cannot be right, 03:12 it's either one or the other." 03:13 Yeah, definitely. 03:15 So He told me to fast and pray. Okay. 03:17 Fast and pray, which is what I did. 03:20 And I went to my pastor 03:23 and I said, "Pastor, tell me about the Sabbath day." 03:26 And I was part of the Word of Life church 03:29 with Eddie Long. 03:31 Okay. 03:32 So I went back to him and said, "Tell me, 03:33 tell me about the Sabbath Day." 03:35 And he says, "I've got this great book, 03:36 it's called Seventh-day Adventism, 03:38 it's a cult." 03:39 "I want you to read it 03:41 and then write an essay about it." 03:43 So, I read it and I was like, "Well, okay, okay, okay." 03:47 And then I went back to my wife's pastor 03:49 which was Calvin Preston, West End... 03:51 Yeah, yeah, in Atlanta, yeah. 03:53 And he gave me a book. 03:54 It was, I think it was pamphlet four 03:58 of Amazing Facts... 03:59 Okay. 04:00 Which talks about... 04:02 Dealing with the Sabbath. Yes, yes. Yeah, okay. 04:03 So now, I read both books, and I'm sort of confused, 04:06 I've got one that says, "Yes," one that says, "No." 04:08 Yeah. So I said, "Lord, help me." 04:10 So the Lord took me to a non-biased website, 04:13 that talked about, "Yes, the Sabbath is still here. 04:16 That wasn't put on the cross. 04:17 It was Moses' ordinances 04:19 that Jesus went to the church on the Sabbath. 04:21 And even after He died, 04:22 His disciples still went to the church on the Sabbath." 04:24 So I went back to my pastor and I said, "Pastor, 04:27 Sabbath is still here." 04:28 Yeah. Wow! 04:30 "I can no longer be a Seven... 04:31 I can no longer be, be part of your church." 04:33 Okay. 04:34 And he said, he started to attack me, 04:36 "Well, Jason, you will never be nothing. 04:38 Jason..." 04:39 For real? Yes, yes. 04:41 "You are being misled. 04:42 You are the tail and not the head. 04:46 You know, your wife is messing you up." 04:48 So he started to attack me. 04:50 So in that moment, the "Essay," that I was meant to write, 04:55 I put in every scripture 04:57 that the Holy Spirit had lead me to... 04:58 Pertaining to the Sabbath? To the Sabbath, yes. 05:00 Wow! Okay. 05:01 So I gave that to him and as I went to shake my hand, 05:04 and he didn't shake my hand, and more or less he was saying, 05:06 get out of his office. 05:08 Wow! 05:09 So since that time, I have been on fire 05:12 about the Adventist message. 05:13 And that was how many years ago? 05:15 Oh, that was about maybe five, six years ago. 05:17 Okay, okay. 05:18 So you grew up in London, 05:20 and so what brought you from London 05:22 to the United States? 05:23 Opportunity. Okay. Opportunity. 05:25 My parents left with their children, 05:28 moved to Brooklyn, New York, 05:29 just to get a better life, 05:31 a better future for their family. 05:32 Definitely, definitely. 05:33 So growing up as a young man, 05:35 did you ever get involved in any drinking, 05:37 or any drugs, or anything of that nature? 05:38 No. Okay, okay. 05:40 Now, most young people, growing up, 05:42 either they got heavily involved in it 05:44 or they did a little experimentation with it, 05:47 what do you think was the motivating factor 05:50 to keep you away from using drugs and alcohol? 05:53 My parents raised me well... 05:54 Okay. With right, right and wrong. 05:56 And I've always had that innate knowledge to know, 06:00 "Okay, if I do this, 06:01 it's gonna be the result of that." 06:03 Yeah, okay. 06:04 My dad as always says, "Listen, if you wind up in jail, 06:06 don't call me." 06:07 Period, period. "Just don't call me." 06:10 So with that fear of, okay, they've raised me right, 06:13 so at this point, I have to make that decision 06:16 whether I want to go down that path 06:19 or go down the positive path. 06:21 Definitely, definitely. 06:22 And the reason I was asking because you, 06:23 you eventually started a ministry, 06:25 you and your wife started a ministry, 06:26 and we're gonna talk a little bit 06:28 about the different facets of it 06:29 and things along those lines. 06:31 But a lot of people, they seem to start ministries 06:34 after they've been through something, 06:36 after they've been through the drugs, 06:37 the alcohol, pertaining to the type of ministry 06:38 you started. 06:40 So what was the motivating factor 06:42 behind the ministry, 06:43 as well as, what is the ministry called? 06:46 Okay. 06:48 What basically, how we started this ministry is, 06:51 in our lives, we were going through a dark storm, 06:53 in our marriage. 06:55 And in the midst of that, God began to speak, 06:59 actually to my wife and saying, "Listen, 07:01 what you guys need to do 07:03 is to video-record testimonies." 07:05 Because when you're in that dark place 07:08 and the enemy says, "You'll never be used. 07:11 You'll never be nothing. 07:12 You know, God doesn't love you. 07:14 How could you do this?" 07:15 It was in that dark moment that this ministry wants to say, 07:19 "Well, yes, we've made mistakes. 07:21 We've made errors, we've messed up royally, 07:24 but yet, we serve a God that says, 'Here I am." 07:27 Amen. 07:28 So from that point, the ministry was called, 07:30 "They Overcame By." 07:31 Okay. 07:33 And it's from Revelation 12:11 where it says, 07:35 "They overcame him by the blood of the lamb, 07:38 and by the word of their testimony." 07:40 Amen, amen. 07:41 So, what are some of the different facets 07:43 that you have within this ministry? 07:45 Okay. 07:46 Well, what we do, we do have one facet would be, 07:49 we simply invite individuals to give their testimony. 07:53 And they can do it in three ways. 07:55 We can come to them, 07:57 or they can take a video selfie 08:00 and send that to us, 08:02 or if they don't want to be on video, 08:05 they can give us a written testimony, 08:08 and it will be featured not only in our upcoming book 08:12 but also in a magazine called, "Back to Basics", 08:15 which is a Christian magazine. 08:17 Not only that, we also have a under shelter ministry 08:21 that's called, "The Women at the Well". 08:23 And what that ministry is simply about is, 08:26 is women that are being relevant with their lives, 08:29 in sharing to glean strength from others. 08:32 So that's also a underlining ministry, 08:34 as well as, we do do, 08:36 we do go around the nation 08:38 telling people how to give your testimony 08:41 and why you should give your testimony. 08:43 So those are couple of things 08:45 that the Lord has us doing right now. 08:47 What are some of the steps of a person giving a testimony 08:50 because, and the reason I ask this is, sometimes, 08:52 I've gone to prayer meetings before 08:54 and somebody will say, 08:56 "Come up, share testimony, you have one minute." 08:58 And nobody can ever seem to just, to stay at one minute. 09:01 What are some of the steps in giving their testimony? 09:04 Well, what we do, number one, 09:07 whenever we have someone giving a testimony, 09:09 we always pray and let the Holy Spirit guide. 09:11 Definitely. 09:12 We don't want to give a constraint 09:14 because we don't know 09:15 what the Holy Spirit will speak to you. 09:17 And then from that we say, "When you give your testimony, 09:20 keep it relevant." 09:22 So any information that really isn't glorifying to God 09:27 or is sort of fluffy, we say, "No, we want you to go deep." 09:30 Yeah. 09:32 Because that person is gonna have to relate... 09:34 Yeah, to somebody else. 09:35 To what you're going through. 09:36 So at the end of the day, 09:38 it's all about telling your story, 09:39 keeping it concise, and making sure 09:41 that you tell when you met God and how He changed your life. 09:45 Definitely, definitely. 09:46 Now you've mentioned that 09:47 you're working on an upcoming book. 09:49 What is the book gonna deal with? 09:50 The book is going to be dealing with, 09:53 is a 30-day motivational testimony book. 09:56 Okay. Okay. 09:57 To where it reflects God's glory. 09:59 So you're going to have testimonies 10:01 in there of individuals 10:02 that have given their testimony. 10:04 And then at the end, it's gonna be a scripture 10:07 and a motivational sermonette that goes along with it. 10:10 So everyday, you will be able to read a testimony, 10:13 see God's glory, and then do a little bit of study 10:16 on the bottom. 10:17 Okay, okay, great. 10:19 Now, being that the book is based upon testimonies 10:21 and you've interviewed numerous amounts of people, 10:24 can you give us a few stories that you've encountered 10:27 from people sharing their testimony? 10:29 Absolutely, absolutely. Okay. 10:30 There's this three that I can think of right now. 10:32 We did a testimony with Paula and Curtis Eakins and... 10:35 Okay, yeah, familiar with them. 10:36 Yes, and their story was about how Paula Eakins had cancer 10:41 and how she dealt with that 10:43 while having a cooking show of healthy foods. 10:46 So that was an awesome testimony 10:48 and she was really transparent 10:50 and, yes, there are things 10:52 that God allows us to go through... 10:53 Yeah, definitely. 10:54 So that He can receive His glory. 10:56 Definitely. 10:57 And then we also had a testimony 10:59 by the name of a Just Jill. 11:00 Jill Monet. Okay, familiar with her. 11:01 And her testimony, oh, my goodness, very relevant, 11:04 she literally took the face of the church 11:08 in her testimony. 11:09 And she was very real about how with her testimony, 11:13 how she wanted to get an abortion, 11:16 and how when people found that she was pregnant, 11:18 and how the church world scrutinized her, 11:21 and how she, you know, drank, 11:22 and drugs, in the whole nine yards, 11:25 and how God said, "Are you finished yet? 11:28 I still wanna use you." 11:29 Wow! That's amazing. 11:31 And then another testimony 11:32 we have was Pastor Carlton Byrd, 11:34 how he talked about 11:35 how in losing his child in a car accident. 11:38 And how people would say, "Well, you are the pastor, 11:41 God will give you another one." 11:42 And he spoke about how, "No," you know, 11:44 "I'm hurt and bitter," 11:46 and he told the honest truth in what he went through. 11:49 How have you seen dealing with these testimonies 11:51 and sharing them? 11:52 Have you seen 11:53 that people's lives have been impacted from them? 11:55 Well, number one, my life... 11:57 Okay. Has been changed. Definitely. 11:58 Because it makes me speak life... 12:01 Okay. Over anyone I speak to. 12:03 Because you never know what they can go through 12:05 or are going through now. 12:06 Yeah. 12:07 The Bible says that there's power 12:09 in death and in your tongue. 12:10 In the tongue, yeah. 12:11 So, I am learning to speak life 12:14 because they may be a second away 12:16 from killing themselves, 12:17 or smoking, or drugging it up, 12:18 so on and so forth. 12:20 So my life has changed on that aspect. 12:22 And with the individuals 12:24 that have watched our testimonies, 12:26 they have been encouraged, inspired, 12:29 moved close to the God, giving their life to God. 12:31 Because at end of the day, the Bible says once again that, 12:33 "We overcome by the blood of the lamb 12:36 and by the word of testimony." 12:37 "And by the word of testimony." 12:38 Now it's interesting how, 12:40 what you use to film different people's testimony 12:43 that do come to you, 12:45 can you talk a little bit about that? 12:46 Certainly, certainly. 12:47 In the Bible, you know the verse 12:49 that talks about how Jesus used five bread, 12:51 the bread and the loaves... 12:53 Yeah. To feed millions. Okay. 12:54 Now we don't have a fancy camera. 12:56 We use our mobile phone. Yeah. 12:58 So we are literally using what's in our hand, 13:01 as Moses did when he used the rod to split the sea. 13:05 So we are using what we have in our hand... 13:07 Okay. 13:09 To start the ministry. 13:10 So until God, you know, gives us something else, 13:13 we're using just a mobile phone 13:15 and a mike to get our testimonies. 13:16 Definitely. 13:18 You know, and that's amazing 13:19 because sometimes people will say, 13:20 "Well, I don't have this" or "I don't have that." 13:23 And they kind of sit around and just decide, 13:24 "I'm not gonna do anything." 13:26 But I'm inspired 13:27 because you just used something simple 13:28 that most people have, just a cell phone. 13:30 And you video-record these things, 13:32 you post them online, 13:34 people can view them, you have your own website, 13:36 which we're gonna talk a little bit about. 13:38 So it's just interesting how just with the simple thing 13:40 that you have, you used. 13:42 And how God can take that simple thing, bless it, 13:45 and then later on, give you something bigger. 13:47 So it's really a testament to those 13:49 that wanna do something, 13:50 but they're sitting back and saying, 13:52 "Well, I don't have anything. 13:53 I don't have the means. I don't have the resources. 13:55 What can I do?" 13:56 What would you encourage people 13:58 that are saying things like that? 13:59 Absolutely. 14:01 Whatever God has for you, whatever God's will is for you, 14:03 guess what? 14:05 God has already given you the means that's in your hand. 14:08 He really has. 14:10 And I believe that if you reach out to God 14:11 and say, "Lord, 14:12 what would You have me to do to represent Your kingdom?" 14:15 And trust me, He will bring it to you and show it to you. 14:18 Yeah, definitely. 14:20 Now, you have something interesting 14:21 that I learned about in terms of your symbol. 14:23 Can you break that down for us, 14:25 how it works with your overcomer symbol? 14:27 Absolutely, absolutely. 14:28 With our symbol, as you know, 14:30 there's two hands that come together. 14:31 Yeah. 14:32 And basically the Lord told us, "Well, what does that mean?" 14:34 Because when I first did it, 14:36 it was more so just goofing around, 14:38 and the Lord says, "Well, you need a logo." 14:40 So, when you put your hand 14:44 inside of the hand of God, 14:48 then you are an overcomer. 14:49 Wow! 14:51 So it symbolizes, when you put your will 14:52 in His will, you're an overcomer. 14:54 Definitely. 14:55 So that is the, that is the logo that you have. 14:57 And you'll be surprised at how many people 14:59 when they see me, they're like, 15:01 you know, so they can relate with the logo. 15:04 So it's just an awesome thing, 15:05 the ministry and the logo that God has given us. 15:07 Definitely. 15:08 Now you've mentioned to me before 15:10 that your ministry is going around the globe 15:12 in various different countries. 15:15 Can you talk about how it's going around 15:16 in different countries, 15:17 and how many countries your ministry is impacting? 15:20 Absolutely, absolutely. 15:21 When we started, They Overcame By, 15:24 we literally jumped on the Facebook, 15:26 and our Facebook maybe had a 1,000 people... 15:27 Okay, everybody's been in that Face book. 15:28 Yeah. 15:30 And then from that point, I just simply said, 15:31 "Hey, do you have a testimony you wanna share?" 15:33 And we had a lot of response. Okay. 15:35 So from that point, we've reached out, 15:37 got the testimonies, 15:39 put them on our YouTube channel. 15:40 Okay. 15:41 And then from there, there's, we are in 80 countries 15:44 right now around the world. 15:46 Wow! And just simply with a cell phone. 15:47 Yes, yes. 15:49 Wow! So you're in 80 countries? 15:51 Could you give us a little bit of detail, 15:53 what's on your website? 15:55 When people log on to your ministry, 15:56 what would they see on that website? 15:58 Absolutely. 15:59 Now, our website is www.theyovercameby.com. 16:03 Okay. 16:04 And as soon as you log on to the ministry on our website, 16:07 you are going to see, 16:08 have the opportunity to go towards these episodes. 16:10 And you'll see every one of our testimonies 16:13 that come out every Friday. 16:15 As well as, there's a portion, 16:17 it's where you can type in and give the website, 16:20 kudos on what you've seen, how it's blessed you. 16:23 Upcoming events what we'll be doing, 16:25 so that's basically what it's comprised of. 16:27 Okay, definitely. 16:29 Now you gave the website information, 16:30 could you give your phone number 16:32 if people want to get in contact, 16:33 if they wanna do the selfie themselves, 16:35 or if they wanna write, 16:36 or if they want to be interviewed. 16:39 Can you give that email 16:40 how people can get in contact with you 16:41 as well as your phone number? 16:43 Absolutely. 16:44 Our business phone number is 323-577-8378. 16:49 Okay. 16:50 And that can also be used as a prayer line. 16:53 We do have individuals that do call us and tell us, 16:55 "Look, we're struggling with A, B, and C. 16:57 Pray for me, or I need someone to talk to." 17:00 We do have an email 17:01 which is info@theyovercameby.com. 17:05 Okay, amen. 17:06 Now you have a t-shirt right here 17:08 that I see sitting nicely in front of us. 17:09 Can you talk a little bit about this t-shirt? 17:11 Yes. 17:12 This is, you see, many t-shirts 17:14 that don't have positive messages. 17:16 This one does. 17:17 It says, 17:19 "Overcomer By The Word Of Their Testimony." 17:22 So that's how we overcome 17:23 and that is something that 17:25 they'll be able to get a hold of. 17:26 Okay. Now, let me ask you this. 17:27 Why would you encourage people to share their testimony? 17:31 Because the reality is, 17:32 a lot of people have some deep dark things within that 17:35 they don't wanna necessarily tell other people 17:38 and then let alone tell the entire world. 17:40 So why would you encourage a person to tell their story? 17:45 Their testimony is something 17:47 that God has designed them to go through. 17:50 We all make bad decisions. 17:51 We've all been there in that dark moment. 17:54 So these testimonies basically give God glory, 17:57 "Yes, He still walks, He still talks, 17:59 and He's still delivering." 18:01 Wow! 18:02 Your testimony is not necessarily for you, 18:05 but it's for someone else that is struggling. 18:08 So once again, the testimony is powerful 18:11 to deliver someone from darkness. 18:13 To deliver somebody that's about to end their life 18:16 because they feel there's no hope. 18:17 Definitely. 18:19 So with the testimony, 18:20 that is your spiritual walking and talking to someone. 18:24 Amen. 18:25 You know, one interesting thing that I find about the Bible, 18:27 it's almost like, it's a big testimony book. 18:30 Because where you find all these different people, 18:32 men and women that God used and the Bible says 18:34 that there are men and women of like passions, 18:36 like you and I. 18:37 And the interesting thing about the Bible 18:39 is it just doesn't show their good side. 18:41 Like David, it showed, you know, 18:42 the lust that he had for Bathsheba. 18:44 It showed that he was a murderer. 18:45 And with these various other people that God used, 18:48 it shows the reality of what they went through as well 18:52 but also how God pulled them out of that. 18:54 So that is a strong, strong thing 18:56 for people to see that. 18:58 Because it gives them strength 18:59 knowing that if God could do it for them, 19:01 He could do it for me also. 19:02 And I think that's what the testimony does, 19:04 and that's why God says in the book of Revelation that, 19:07 "We overcome the devil by the blood of the lamb 19:09 and by the word of our testimony." 19:11 Because our testimony gives power and impact 19:14 to somebody else, you know, go ahead. 19:16 And you are exactly right. 19:17 Because it's the enemy that says, "Shh". 19:19 Yeah, definitely. 19:20 "Don't tell your testimony 19:22 because you're gonna be embarrassed." 19:23 But listen, if Jesus was transparent 19:26 as He hung on the cross... 19:27 How much more... 19:28 And He said, "Here I am." 19:30 How much more is your testimony 19:32 that what Jesus is doing in your life 19:34 will save someone else? 19:36 Now, I wanna back up a little bit. 19:38 You've mentioned that you came 19:39 into the Seventh-day Adventist church 19:40 and that your father is a preacher. 19:42 Is there anybody else in your family, 19:44 Seventh-day Adventist, 19:45 or you're the only one that converted? 19:46 I am the only one 19:48 that is a Seventh-day Adventist 19:49 right now. 19:50 Now once again, my dad was a preacher, 19:52 he did preach, now he's an atheist. 19:55 He doesn't believe in God anymore. 19:56 So, yes, I am the only one right now. 19:58 Okay. 19:59 You've mentioned also 20:01 that you are a theology major at Oakwood. 20:04 At what point in your life 20:05 did you feel that calling to the ministry? 20:08 It was when attending Oakwood, attending West End, 20:12 and we went to a old folk's home. 20:14 And he said, "Jason, 20:15 we want you to give a scripture." 20:16 Okay. 20:18 So when I gave the scripture, 20:19 I started preaching the scripture. 20:21 Yeah. And I'm like, "Huh? 20:23 Where's this coming from?" 20:24 So from that point, they said, "Well, Jason, 20:26 can you bring a message next week?" 20:28 Yeah. I'm like, "Huh?" 20:30 And then from that moment, 20:31 I knew that God has called me to bring the word of God. 20:36 Definitely, definitely. 20:37 So, what can people do that, you know, don't have the means 20:41 because you don't have the necessarily means to, 20:44 you know, have this gigantic stuff, 20:45 a big camera to do everything, 20:47 what can people do that don't have the means 20:50 but they wanna do something, but like I said, 20:52 they just don't have it, 20:53 what can they do to start something? 20:55 Well, the first thing that I'm definitely gonna tell you, 20:57 is you ask God. 20:59 Because He has the perfect plan and He will answer you. 21:02 Because at the end of the day, He says, 21:03 "Go, preach and teach." 21:04 And that doesn't always mean to stand in front of a pulpit 21:07 to preach and teach, 21:09 but there's many, many other ways 21:10 that you can impact a world that has no hope. 21:14 So I'm gonna ask you to pray about it, number one. 21:16 And being sincere, God will answer you. 21:18 And then He will tell you 21:20 what you can use that will glorify His name. 21:23 'Cause at the end of the day, it's all about glorifying. 21:25 Yeah, definitely, definitely. 21:27 Where are some of the places just in United States 21:29 that God has taken you with this ministry, 21:31 you know, videotaping people throughout 21:33 just with the cell phone? 21:34 We have been in Florida. Okay. 21:36 We have been in Atlanta, we have been in Illinois, 21:40 and God is continuing to move the ministry 21:43 even abroad, 21:44 to where we do see ourselves going around the world, 21:47 getting testimonies from Zambia, 21:49 New Zealand, Russia. 21:51 In August, we will be in Orlando 21:53 getting testimonies from women 21:56 that have given their lives to Christ 21:58 and are no longer bisexual. 22:00 Amen. 22:01 What are some of the future plans 22:03 for the ministry? 22:04 Just to travel around the world, 22:06 to travel around the world to let everybody know, listen, 22:09 if you have a testimony, 22:11 They Overcame By is the place 22:13 where we will take your testimony 22:15 without condemnation, 22:16 without judgment, without shame, 22:19 we will take it to glorify God. 22:21 So as God moves us, 22:22 and as He's adding different legs to the ministry, 22:25 once getting with the book, the t-shirt, 22:27 The Women at the Well ministry, 22:30 I can only say that God reveals it to us 22:33 in a step to step to step. 22:35 But at the end of the day, He says, "Every place, Jason, 22:38 where My light shines, 22:40 that's where your ministry will be." 22:41 Wow! Wow! 22:42 How much of a challenge was it for you to step out in faith, 22:45 for you and your wife to step out in faith, 22:47 and to do something like this? 22:48 It was, I think it was in some cases, 22:51 it was liberating for us 22:53 because when you've been through that valley moment, 22:57 and the Lord says, "Guess what? 22:59 I wanna use you." 23:00 It was liberating to know that, 23:04 "Yes, we are in the will of God 23:08 and how much more is He gonna bless." 23:09 Wow! Wow! 23:11 And the reason I ask that question 23:12 is because, you know, there's so many people that, 23:14 you know, that wanna do something 23:15 but it seems like they may not have enough faith. 23:18 And they need that encouragement 23:21 or they need to know, 23:22 "What can I do and I'm scared to step out, 23:24 I'm so used to, you know, 23:26 having things in a certain order 23:27 and things like that." 23:29 And it's hard to say, "You know what? 23:30 I'm gonna step out in faith and I'm gonna do this." 23:32 So how much of an... 23:34 How important is it 23:35 to just trust the Lord and go forward by faith? 23:39 It is absolutely, in the Bible, it talks about that 23:42 we cannot please God without faith. 23:44 It's impossible. 23:45 And, in fact, He says that faith without works is dead. 23:51 God is a God that obviously we cannot see. 23:53 We can feel through what He does. 23:55 And He's made us to share His faith and His glory. 23:59 So for that person that may be shy, 24:02 for that person that may be critical 24:05 because of their lifestyle or whatever they're doing, 24:07 God is saying today, 24:08 "Listen, I can use you right where you are." 24:11 Jesus says, "Come as you are." 24:13 "As you are." Definitely. 24:15 So as long as you come to Him and you say, "Lord, use me, 24:19 " He will use you and He will give you that boldness. 24:23 When He told Moses, "Moses, do this." 24:25 And he was like, "Me, huh?" 24:28 But He said, "Yes, I wanna use you." 24:30 So for that person listening, God wants to use you today. 24:34 Amen. 24:35 Do you think that your own relationship with God 24:38 has increased? 24:39 Your love for God has increased, 24:41 your faith has increased by stepping forward in faith? 24:43 Absolutely, absolutely. 24:45 With God, not only has my relationship increased, 24:50 my marriage has increased, 24:52 the love of my wife Dereka Moore, 24:55 and just basically knowing that, 24:56 "Yes, God, You can restore." 24:59 That, "Yes, You can give back all the years 25:01 that Kanken has stolen." 25:03 So, yes, it makes me more relevant 25:08 to what God is saying to me in this generation 25:12 and how much He really does love us. 25:14 And it's not just, when people hear, 25:16 "Jesus loves me, " it's not just a phrase, it's for real. 25:18 Wow! 25:20 You know, it's interesting 25:21 because when Jesus gave the great commission 25:23 in Matthew, 25:24 prior to giving the great commission, 25:26 a few verses before it, 25:29 it mentions where the disciples were around 25:32 and other people gathered. 25:33 And it said that some of the people doubted. 25:36 And then right after they said that they doubted, 25:38 Jesus says, "I have all power. 25:40 Go, ye, therefore." 25:42 So it's like the remedy with doubt, 25:43 the remedy with fear, 25:44 the remedy with a lack of faith, 25:46 is to go forward. 25:47 And as you go forward, 25:48 and share your testimony with others 25:50 or share your love of Jesus with others, 25:52 it's like that doubt is cleared up. 25:54 So it's like mission work was intended, 25:56 one of the intentions was 25:57 to help us to wear away that doubt 25:59 that we may have in Jesus Christ. 26:01 Now what I wanna do, I wanna take about a minute, 26:03 and I want you to look into the camera 26:04 and appeal to those people 26:06 that have an interest in ministry 26:08 but aren't sure what to do, 26:09 as well as that young person that has a testimony 26:12 but is scared of sharing that testimony 26:15 because of what's in their past. 26:19 God has a perfect will for your life 26:23 and He has designed you to give glory to His name. 26:28 For that person that is struggling 26:31 or you're scared to step out, guess what? 26:34 Our God will meet you right where you are. 26:37 All you have to do is ask. 26:39 Trust me. Our God will do that for you. 26:42 For those of you that have a testimony 26:44 and the enemy says, 26:46 "Well, your testimony is not big enough, 26:48 your testimony is not powerful enough." 26:50 We rebuke that in the name of Jesus. 26:51 Because what God is taking you through, 26:54 trust me, it will bring power, and glory, and hope, 26:59 for someone else that's about to end their life. 27:02 So in the name of Jesus, step out and trust God. 27:05 Because, remember, without faith, 27:08 it's impossible to please Him. 27:09 Wow, Mr. Moore, that's a very inspiring 27:11 and powerful ministry that you have. 27:13 If once again you could provide us 27:15 with the website's information, 27:16 so that people can get in contact with you. 27:18 Sure. 27:19 The website is www.theyovercameby.com. 27:25 Okay. 27:26 Once you've logged on, 27:27 you can go to where it says Info. 27:29 Put in your name, number, and what you would like to do 27:32 and that will come straight to me. 27:33 All right, well, you've heard it, y'all. 27:35 Be sure to tune in 27:37 to the next episode of The New Journey, 27:39 as well as log on to the website 27:42 They Overcame By, 27:43 so that you can share your testimony, 27:45 and be an impact, 27:46 impactful to those that have a testimony as well 27:49 that are scared to share. 27:50 Be sure to tune in next time for The New Journey. 27:52 Until then, God bless. |
