radio TV I’m jean 3:38 beatty glad you’re with me today today 3:40 we’re gonna dive into a story I bet you 3:42 haven’t heard before I’m excited because 3:44 my guest today Daniel kolenda thanks for 3:47 joining Daniel it’s a joy listen there 3:50 is so much we’ve been trying to get you 3:51 for a while and we finally got our 3:53 schedules to line up where you can beer 3:55 I want people to understand you kind of 3:57 for a lot of us old-timers if they 4:00 probably don’t know who you are and they 4:02 haven’t seen all of a sudden you’re on 4:03 the we see you on the stage with Rhine 4:05 art and and now Reinhard’s is has moved 4:08 on and you’re there you know on doing 4:11 most of the stuff now tell us how do 4:12 what happened how did you get here Wow 4:15 well it’s it’s kind of an amazing story 4:18 it’s an amazing journey because actually 4:20 when you ask me about it I feel like I’m 4:22 in the middle of that story right now 4:24 but I guess I’d have to go back to my 4:26 childhood I’m a preacher’s kid I’m 4:28 actually a fifth generation preacher’s 4:30 kid on my father’s side my mother saw my 4:32 mother’s father’s also a pastor my 4:34 wife’s father is also a pastor so I’ve 4:36 been thoroughly pasteurized yeah I grew 4:38 up in this thing and and I thought you 4:40 had no choice in the matter but well you 4:42 know I think that’s what people assumed 4:44 that I would end up being a pastor just 4:46 like you know everyone that came before 4:47 me but from a very early age I had a 4:50 heart not only for missions but for 4:53 Africa specifically and I can remember 4:55 missionaries coming through my dad’s 4:57 Church and telling stories about the 4:59 mission field when I was you know 6 or 7 5:01 years old if you said to me what do you 5:03 want to be when you grow up I would have 5:04 said I want to be a missionary in Africa 5:06 so it’s amazing now looking back to see 5:09 how even at such a young age God had put 5:11 something like that in my heart although 5:13 I really didn’t understand what that 5:15 meant of course here and I surely had no 5:17 idea what was gonna transpire but yet 5:19 you see the seeds of it and you see the 5:21 fingerprints of God all along the way so 5:24 fast forward several years when I was 16 5:27 years old I was part of a revival this 5:29 is an interesting context here because 5:32 as partner of a revival in Pensacola 5:34 Florida and at that revival there was a 5:37 lady visiting by the name of Suzette 5:39 Hattie and Suzette I don’t know if 5:42 you’ve heard of her but she was for many 5:44 years round R Balki’s head intercessor 5:46 so 5:46 she would go into these places in Africa 5:48 before him and set up intercessory 5:51 prayer and they would pray sometimes for 5:52 weeks before Reinhard would come with 5:54 his Crusades now I’d never heard of 5:56 Suzette I’d never heard of Reinhard I’d 5:58 never heard of any of this stuff and I 6:00 was a 16 year old kid in a revival 6:02 service they they asked her to come up 6:05 and to pray just to open the meeting in 6:06 prayer just like an opening and so she 6:09 began to pray and gee and I remember 6:11 feeling like the air was filled with 6:14 electricity hmm people were being 6:16 touched by God it was a really amazing 6:18 thing just an opening prayer and nothing 6:20 happened to me physically some people 6:21 were being touched physically physically 6:23 manifesting but for me you know I’m the 6:26 kind of guy that doesn’t physically 6:27 manifest very much but that doesn’t mean 6:30 that there’s nothing going on on the 6:31 inside and I heard the Holy Spirit speak 6:33 to me very clearly and he said you’re 6:34 gonna work with that man that she had 6:37 mentioned which was riding our bunkie 6:38 and so again I didn’t know we what who 6:41 he was but I went back to my room I 6:42 wrote a letter and I said the Lord spoke 6:45 to me today I’m supposed to work with 6:47 you I don’t know what that means I’ll 6:49 carry your bags I’ll polish your shoes I 6:51 just know I’m supposed to be there and 6:52 so then I went online to try to find the 6:54 address to send this letter and that’s 6:57 when I saw for the first time the 6:58 pictures of the massive Crusades in 7:00 Africa and I thought this guy you know 7:02 he’ll never get my letter he probably 7:03 gets a thousand letters every day and so 7:05 I never mailed the letter I still have 7:07 it to this day it’s in a old shoebox 7:09 with a bunch of other old letters Wow 7:11 so that was at 16 at 18 I actually met 7:14 Reinhardt on Pensacola Beach that’s a 7:16 long story but I thought when I met him 7:18 there was such a coincidence the way 7:20 that it all happened I thought wow maybe 7:21 the Lord really did speak to me and now 7:23 I’m gonna start traveling with Reinhard 7:25 around the world and he’s gonna ask me 7:26 to join his team and instead he said 7:29 goodbye and he went one way and I went 7:30 another way he didn’t give me his phone 7:32 number he didn’t want to stay in touch 7:34 with me it was just over yeah and so I 7:36 thought man isn’t that crazy I knew God 7:38 spoke to me when I was when I was 16 now 7:40 I’ve met Reinhard there was a great 7:42 connection there but there seems to be 7:43 no link and so years went by I never 7:46 heard another word from Reinhard and by 7:48 this time I’d moved on I was planting 7:50 churches I was pastoring and so I had 7:53 just started a new church and you know 7:56 church plant pastors if it’s a true 7:58 church plant I mean from scratch right 8:00 it’s tough yeah you know there’s no 8:01 money and I didn’t I couldn’t support my 8:03 family so I was looking for a job 8:04 literally I was willing to work at 8:06 McDonald’s just anywhere to feed the 8:08 family and I got a friend that I’d gone 8:11 to Bible School with I got a call from 8:12 him and he said the ministry that I’m 8:15 working for needs somebody that has a 8:17 business degree which I happen to have 8:19 he said there you would you would you 8:21 come in an interview for the job I said 8:22 well what ministry is it he said it’s 8:24 Ron our banquise ministry now last I 8:26 knew Ron our bunkie was in Frankfurt 8:28 Germany and I was living in Pensacola 8:29 and over that period of about six years 8:31 I had moved from Pensacola to Tampa 8:34 Ryan arted moved from Frankfurt to 8:36 Sacramento and then to Orlando and we 8:38 were now about 40 minutes from each 8:39 other amazing how God is able to work 8:41 all these things that we could never 8:43 orchestrate in our own and so to make a 8:46 long story short I ended up going to the 8:48 office I got the job and then a few 8:50 weeks later I mean I was at the very 8:51 bottom if you looked at a flow chart of 8:53 the ministry I was the last position on 8:55 the bottom working in the warehouse yeah 8:57 and I was in my office working one day 9:00 and Reinhard came in and he saw me 9:01 sitting there I don’t know if he had any 9:03 idea you know about any of this stuff 9:05 but all I know is that my supervisor 9:07 came in a few minutes later and he said 9:08 Reinhard wants to know if you’d be 9:10 willing to travel with him as an 9:12 assistant and I said well let me pray 9:14 about it yes yeah so I I thought well 9:17 here it is now I’m getting to help a man 9:20 of God in the ministry this is what it 9:22 this is what the Lord spoke to me all 9:23 those years ago and I honestly never 9:25 thought anything more than that and you 9:27 hadn’t told anybody about I’ve told my 9:29 wife or my best friend knew about it but 9:31 I’d surely never told anybody at sea fan 9:33 or ride hard in anything in fact I never 9:34 told Ron Hurd the story I’m telling you 9:36 until after I was already his successor 9:38 yeah and he didn’t even know during that 9:40 time that I was a pastor he didn’t know 9:42 any of this stuff because I never wanted 9:44 him to feel like I had any ulterior 9:45 motive sure I was there to serve him so 9:47 I did that for several years I would 9:49 travel with him as an assistant 9:51 I also would help in the ministry in 9:52 other ways I was also pastoring as a 9:54 very very busy time of life but then 9:57 about ten years ago Reinhard said to me 9:59 I think you’re the man to take this 10:00 ministry over Wow 10:01 and it was it was a process you know 10:03 didn’t happen in one day but it began 10:05 where he would he gave me about 10% so 10:08 let’s stop right there in January 10:09 because I want to go back 10:11 I’m imagining the day the Rhinehart came 10:14 to you and says I think you’re the one 10:15 to do what was going through your mind 10:18 at this point well you know I had had 10:21 people tell me you’re the one to take 10:22 over from Reinhardt in fact it’s kind of 10:24 funny when I was in Bible School 10:26 everybody used to give the other we used 10:28 to give each other names like we’d name 10:30 one guy Finney and one guy Wesley and 10:31 sure just kind of based on the 10:33 personalities and the name people gave 10:34 me was bunky uh-huh which was strange 10:37 you know people said to me you’re gonna 10:38 take over for Reinhardt one day and I 10:39 said no that’s impossible and the reason 10:41 is that Reinhard had already tried that 10:43 and it didn’t work out with his 10:45 son-in-law right and so you know he 10:47 always would say from the platform I 10:49 have succeeded my successor and I will 10:51 never have a successor my successor are 10:53 the millions of people that have been 10:54 saved and sent to the nation’s so that 10:57 was not in my mind anywhere it was it 10:59 was not on my agenda so when he said 11:00 that what did you think I literally 11:02 didn’t click it took me a second and I 11:06 had to say can you repeat that and when 11:08 he said it again and I realized what he 11:10 was saying it hit me like a ton of 11:12 bricks 11:12 yeah and you know the thing is I didn’t 11:15 ask for it sure I wasn’t seeking it out 11:17 and so today you know every day actually 11:20 I’m involved in things that are way over 11:22 my head 11:23 and it can be quite intimidating and 11:25 daunting but I have this this confidence 11:28 in my heart and I often pray and say 11:30 Lord I didn’t ask for this you assigned 11:34 this to me you gave this to me and so 11:36 you must know something about me I don’t 11:37 know and you must have some grace for me 11:40 that I don’t know about yet and so I 11:41 step into these things with confidence 11:43 knowing that he’s if he called me to it 11:45 it was his will then he’ll provide and 11:47 so far it’s been an absolutely amazing 11:50 amazing journey so he starts by you say 11:52 he gave you a little bit at a time yeah 11:54 well in the beginning he would I just 11:57 would preach for him ten minutes before 12:00 he would preach he would say to me I 12:01 want you to talk for 10 minutes don’t 12:03 give an altar call and don’t go over 12:05 your time so it was almost a test like 12:08 seeing if I could just obey orders at 12:10 first and so I would do that I started 12:13 out I did it one time and then he 12:14 invited me to come and do it every time 12:15 so I would come to all the Crusades and 12:17 I I just kind of talked for ten minutes 12:19 before he came and I’d really just 12:20 warmed the people up to get ready to 12:22 receive the gospel message I was 12:24 trying to be in the spotlight I wasn’t 12:26 trying to have the best sermon you’ve 12:28 ever heard 12:28 I just wanted to prepare their hearts to 12:30 receive you know what the Lord’s gonna 12:32 speak through him and so that’s how it 12:33 went for for probably a year like that 12:35 and then he said to me okay this time I 12:37 want you to do the whole message and 12:39 there’s five major crusade nights and 12:41 every brain and every campaign he said I 12:43 want you to preach the whole message 12:44 give the altar call pray for the sick so 12:46 I did one and he did the other four we 12:48 did that for a while and then he said 12:50 okay now you’re gonna do two and I’m 12:51 gonna do three and then you’re gonna do 12:52 three and I’m gonna do two and then 12:54 you’re gonna do four and I’ll do one and 12:55 finally the day came where he said I’m 12:57 not coming you just go and do it and it 13:00 was a terrifying day I have to admit 13:03 Butler was that where did you go that 13:04 was yeah that would have been somewhere 13:07 in Nigeria I don’t remember the city at 13:09 the moment but I remember the feeling of 13:11 watching him driving away down the dusty 13:13 road and my heart sinking in my chest 13:15 and you know kind of I probably know a 13:18 little bit of what it was like when 13:19 Elijah when Elijah watched Elijah going 13:22 away in the right area and it was a 13:24 little bit of a nostalgic moment but I 13:25 said okay Lord now it’s me and you yeah 13:28 I have nothing else and what was amazing 13:30 about that crusade is that it started 13:32 out with about 30,000 people people 13:34 which is very small for us but then God 13:36 began doing miracles that were 13:38 mind-blowing just miracles all over the 13:40 place by the end of that week over 13:41 650,000 people were in one meeting and 13:44 so the whole team I remember sitting in 13:46 our devotions on the last day was Sunday 13:49 morning and I remember these guys that 13:51 have been with Ryanair for 30 years or 13:52 more many of them with tears in their 13:54 eyes as they said we never thought it 13:56 was possible for this to go on in 13:58 another generation but today we’ve seen 14:01 it’s possible and that’s history the 14:03 last 10 years we’ve been rolling with 14:05 this thing the the crowds continue the 14:07 Crusades continue the miracles the 14:09 salvations and it’s a testament to the 14:11 fact that this is not about a man it’s 14:14 not about me it’s not even about bunkie 14:16 it’s about the harvest and we’re living 14:18 in the time of harvest and it’s it’s 14:20 absolutely amazing time to be alive so 14:23 tell me about I want to know the first 14:27 time and you’re doing the Crusades and 14:30 for Rhine art in the first miracle you 14:35 remember 14:36 well I have a good one for you you know 14:39 I saw a lot of miracles from the 14:41 platform because we often pray over a 14:42 crowd as a whole and so I often would 14:45 see the miracles after they already 14:46 happened and that’s awesome but it’s not 14:49 the same thing as watching it happen 14:50 right before your eyes and so I was by 14:52 myself in India and it was a much 14:55 smaller crowd and I prayed over the 14:57 crowd and actually was funny about that 14:59 crusade as I had it some terrible kind 15:01 of stomach thing and and it was so bad 15:05 that at times I had to sit down while I 15:07 preached and even while I prayed for the 15:08 sick it was very very painful 15:10 but every single person that had a 15:12 stomach thing out of the crowd was 15:14 healed was well kind of amazing you know 15:16 God doesn’t need us to be the picture of 15:18 health to work through us you know and 15:20 so at the end I remember I call I said 15:23 if you have not yet received your 15:25 healing I want to lay hands on you so a 15:26 group of people came over and there was 15:28 a girl that they brought to me who was 15:30 totally deaf in both ears stone deaf not 15:33 like partial deafness I mean she could 15:35 not hear anything and she stood before 15:37 me and she had a little red dot on her 15:39 forehead India 15:40 she was a Hindu and her father had 15:43 brought her there and I prayed for and I 15:44 and I clapped you know I’m inside of her 15:47 ear and she looked at me she just went 15:49 like this so I prayed again nothing 15:51 happened and I and I remember just 15:53 something about the second time when I 15:55 prayed for her the look on her face of 15:57 just absolute disappointment and sadness 15:59 and my heart sank and I remember I paid 16:03 with a lot I mean a lot of noise around 16:04 a lot of people around but I closed my 16:06 eyes and I said Lord if you just heal 16:08 this one I’ll thank you forever 16:11 yeah and so I laid my hands on her ears 16:14 and I prayed again just as I’d done both 16:17 other times there was nothing special 16:18 and then and then I snapped in her ear 16:22 and her eyes came open like this 16:24 and she began to weep and and she began 16:26 to scream and it was the first time I’d 16:29 seen that happen up close but what was 16:31 amazing and this is even better in my 16:34 opinion the next night she came with her 16:36 whole Hindu family they all stood up on 16:38 the platform and confessed Jesus as 16:40 Savior they all became believers because 16:43 of that one miracle and it hasn’t 16:44 stopped since praise God that’s awesome 16:47 that’s it’s a great memory isn’t yeah 16:49 so now so now you know you’re the 16:54 successor and you’re moving on what do 16:56 you see the state of the world I mean 17:01 you you more than a lot of us you’re out 17:03 there around the world doing 17:04 specifically Africa a lot doing these 17:07 Crusades what is it you see that’s going 17:09 on in the world now well I have probably 17:13 a little bit different view than many 17:15 people you know when I watch the news 17:17 especially here in the States 17:18 it’s all bad yeah it’s very negative my 17:22 view is very different I I believe we’re 17:24 living in the greatest times of the 17:26 church a more people are coming to 17:28 Christ today than at any other time in 17:30 church history we have seen just our 17:31 little ministry in Africa we’ve seen 78 17:33 million people come to Christ since in 17:35 1987 it’s it’s ridiculous that’s that’s 17:40 over 7,000 people a day for 30 17:42 consecutive years that’s just one little 17:45 ministry we’re by no means the biggest 17:46 or the only thing that God is doing in 17:48 China people are coming to Christ by the 17:50 millions tens of thousands every single 17:53 day we’re seeing it in Pakistan in India 17:55 in Europe I mean I was just in the 17:57 Ukraine with some of my friends there 17:58 and they were saying that this is the 18:01 most a theistic place in Europe they 18:04 said nobody’s gonna gather here we saw 18:05 15,000 mostly young people gather in the 18:08 stadium thousands of them gave their 18:10 hearts to the Lord this is all over the 18:11 world God is moving and yes there are 18:13 bad things but when sin abounds grace 18:16 abounds even more right so I would just 18:18 encourage believers not to get down in 18:20 the dumps not to adopt that stinking 18:23 mindset of the enemy that you know just 18:24 to hold on by the skin of our teeth 18:26 until we get raptured out of here man 18:28 let’s take the world for Jesus we have 18:30 the greatest opportunity to do that of 18:33 anyone that’s ever lived raise a god 18:35 that’s good tell me what is gonna take a 18:37 little turn now and and I want to know 18:40 what’s next what you feel like God just 18:41 showing you next man that’s that’s a 18:44 great question how much time you have I 18:46 feel like my heart is about to burst 18:49 with with vision for the future because 18:53 it’s not amazing what God is doing i 18:55 this is what I see Reinhard always used 18:58 to say nothing diminishes in God and you 19:01 see even in in the 19:03 in the scriptures you see how when 19:05 Elijah came after Elijah it didn’t 19:07 diminish there was a double portion it 19:08 was you see with Joshua that he actually 19:11 was able to possess the land that Moses 19:13 hadn’t been able to enter not because 19:15 one was better than the other but 19:17 because in God’s economy he he 19:19 intentionally I believe strategically 19:22 organizes things in such a way that it 19:24 goes from generation to generation and 19:26 we need each other you even see that in 19:28 Hebrews 11 where it talks about without 19:30 without us those that came before us 19:32 cannot be made perfect so there’s this 19:34 this thing in God’s economy where we 19:37 have to link with each other with over 19:39 generations so I believe that the 19:41 greatest days are ahead I believe God’s 19:43 gonna do greater things in this next 19:44 season that he’s done before and that 19:46 doesn’t mean that I think I’m gonna be a 19:47 greater evangelist than Reinhard sure 19:49 in my mind Reinhard Bonnke is the 19:51 greatest evangelist that’s ever lived 19:52 certainly in our generation right but I 19:55 tell you what I believe is gonna happen 19:56 I believe we’re going from a season of 19:58 addition to a season of multiplication 20:00 and I believe what we’re gonna see in 20:02 this next era is the platform that men 20:05 like Reinhard Bonnke and Kenneth 20:06 Copeland and Billy Graham and these 20:08 great sort of generals of the faith that 20:10 that foundation that they have built is 20:13 now going to be used by an entire 20:15 generation that’s gonna be thousands of 20:17 men and women carrying the fire of the 20:19 Holy Spirit and of evangelism and of 20:21 faith into the nations of the world and 20:23 I believe that that God has put me in 20:26 the position that I’m in not just to 20:28 simply maintain something for another 20:29 generation but to multiply what God has 20:32 given just like the loaves and the 20:34 fishes so how are you know how is that 20:35 gonna multiply how do you bridge we’re 20:37 training up other evangelists we’re 20:39 linking with other ministries and one of 20:40 the amazing things that we’re doing 20:41 right now this is so fresh I probably 20:43 shouldn’t even be talking about it but 20:45 you’re the first okay the first one I 20:46 hear about it so one of the things that 20:48 we’re doing now is we’ve built these 20:49 trucks in Nigeria and what we’re doing 20:52 is we’re getting evangelist to come and 20:54 we take the trucks for 40 days before 20:55 each crusade and they go to every 20:57 village every hospital every prison 20:59 every school every marketplace and they 21:02 begin to preach the gospel and for 40 21:04 days these trucks are running all over 21:05 the place so the idea is that by the 21:07 time the crusade begins we’ve seen as 21:09 many people saved before as we see 21:11 during so the Lord spoke to me and said 21:13 this next decade is going to be a decade 21:15 of double 21:16 that means I believe we’re gonna see 21:18 what we saw in the last 30 years 21:19 combined which is over 75 million people 21:22 saved I believe we’ll see that in the 21:23 next 10 years over 70 million people 21:26 come to Christ but not only that I 21:28 believe that through that there’s gonna 21:30 be an army of evangelists raised up 21:32 because we’re gonna need to Train 21:33 evangelists and equip evangelists and by 21:35 the time that decade is done I believe 21:37 that an evangelistic movement across the 21:40 world will have begun and we’ll be 21:41 seeing this happen in villages and 21:42 townships all over the world and it 21:45 could be the beginning of maybe this 21:47 last great harvest of souls before Jesus 21:49 talked about that last great harvest of 21:51 souls tell me what you think that is I 21:54 well here’s the thing I don’t believe 21:57 that God writes bad stories and we could 22:00 talk about the theological aspects of it 22:03 there’s a lot more qualified people er 22:04 than that but what I see is that when 22:06 God does something it builds it always 22:09 builds and it’s sort of the principle I 22:10 was mentioning earlier that nothing 22:12 diminishes in God and I believe that the 22:14 church is going to be as as ascribes the 22:16 scripture a glorious church without spot 22:18 or wrinkle I believe that it’s going to 22:20 be a church that has overcome by the 22:21 blood of the Lamb and the word of our 22:23 testimony and that this is the church 22:25 that is going to be the last generation 22:27 it’s not going to be a defeated begging 22:30 poor desperate you know just barely 22:33 holding on church it’s gonna be a 22:34 victorious church and the way that we 22:36 see that victory more than any other 22:37 area is in evangelism if people aren’t 22:40 being saved then we’re failing as as the 22:42 body of Christ so I believe that we’re 22:44 heading into in the last days it will be 22:46 both things it will be the time of 22:48 greatest darkness greatest difficulty 22:51 greatest danger and it will be the time 22:53 of greatest light and greatest glory and 22:55 greatest harvest and how can those two 22:57 things coincide how can they how can 23:00 they exist simultaneously I believe that 23:01 is the way the kingdom works and again 23:03 when you look around the world the 23:05 places where people are being saved 23:06 you’re gonna find at the middle of those 23:08 harvests Holy Spirit filled on fire 23:11 people that believe in the gifts of the 23:13 Spirit and the power of the Holy Spirit 23:15 and that’s not a coincidence 23:17 you know you’re you’re you’re talking 23:20 about something that really you know we 23:24 talked about on this program about being 23:26 the wine and we all can’t we all won’t 23:29 have that 23:30 platform that you have yeah but I’d like 23:33 for you to take the next few minutes 23:34 before we wrap up this program and I 23:36 want you to talk to the this camera 23:37 right here and tell people encourage 23:39 people about what it means for them to 23:40 be the one yeah well you know I I’m an 23:44 evangelist and I’ve seen literally 23:46 millions of people come to Christ and I 23:48 think a lot of people will look at 23:50 somebody who has a platform like I have 23:53 and they’ll say well that’s your job 23:55 you’re an evangelist you go and you win 23:57 the lost and we’ll just you know put 23:59 some money in the offering or pray for 24:01 you once in a while 24:01 and as much as I appreciate the support 24:04 that is not the biblical model that 24:08 God’s given to us when you read 24:09 Ephesians 4 when it talks about the 24:11 Evangelist it’s in the context of the 24:13 other ministry gifts the apostle prophet 24:14 pastor teacher and evangelist and it 24:16 says in that passage that those ministry 24:19 gifts have been given not to do the work 24:22 of the ministry but to equip the Saints 24:24 to do the work of the ministry that’s 24:26 you if you are blood-bought child of God 24:29 you are one of the Saints and so think 24:31 of it this way if the body of Christ 24:32 were a football team then those of us in 24:35 fivefold ministry would be the water 24:37 boys our job is just to keep you 24:39 refreshed and equipped and out there on 24:42 the field winning the game for God and 24:44 we were talking a little bit earlier 24:45 about things that God is doing things 24:47 that that we see sort of patterns 24:49 happening in the world you know I began 24:50 to notice this is several years ago 24:52 probably four or five years ago that God 24:56 was doing amazing miracles in our 24:57 Crusades and in our conferences but when 24:59 I would begin to equip ordinary people 25:02 to pray for the sick and preach the 25:03 gospel we were seeing more extraordinary 25:06 miracles through people out on the 25:08 streets there people at the grocery 25:09 stores and the gas stations just at 25:11 normal places sharing the love of Jesus 25:13 and praying for the sick then we were 25:15 seeing in our big gospel meetings and I 25:17 began to pick up on something that God 25:19 is God is blessing this God wants to use 25:23 the ordinary people he wants to use 25:25 people that don’t have big international 25:26 ministries they don’t have great 25:28 platforms they’re not standing in front 25:30 of lights and they don’t have makeup on 25:31 like I have on right now just ordinary 25:34 people who love Jesus and are willing to 25:36 share that love with people every day 25:38 and I want you to understand something 25:39 you can do this everything that we do 25:43 you can do the same holy spirit that we 25:45 have you have the same gospel that we 25:47 preach you can preach and I’ll tell you 25:49 what the Holy Spirit will work with you 25:51 he will confirm the word that you speak 25:53 and he’ll bless your life in amazing and 25:56 extraordinary ways can I just pray for 25:58 the viewers I’d love to just pray for 25:59 you right now 26:00 and I’d love to pray that the Lord would 26:02 just light a fire in your heart for this 26:04 thing I would love to see the body of 26:07 Christ so activated that that healing 26:09 evangelists go out of style because we 26:12 don’t need them anymore every child of 26:14 God is out on the street praying for the 26:15 sick and seeing miracles and salvations 26:17 so father I just pray in Jesus name Lord 26:20 that you would set that brother that 26:22 sister on fire Lord would you cause a 26:25 mantle and a burden for evangelism to 26:28 fall on their lives right now in Jesus 26:30 name well I thank you for signs and 26:32 wonders and miracles I thank you for the 26:34 gifts of the Holy Spirit that you 26:36 distribute freely lord I thank you for 26:38 words of knowledge and words of wisdom 26:40 and the gift of healing that will begin 26:42 to operate in their lives Lord most of 26:44 all I pray for a spirit of holy boldness 26:46 that would come over them Lord that they 26:49 would not be afraid to share you with 26:51 the people around them and father I ask 26:53 you for a baptism of love Lord that 26:55 everywhere they go their eyes would see 26:58 people the way that you see them that 26:59 their hearts would would beat and burn 27:02 for the things that your heart burns for 27:04 Lord would you give us your heart and 27:06 your compassion for the world Lord and 27:08 would you use us not just the Evangelist 27:12 not just the professionals Lord but 27:14 would you use every child of God every 27:17 man and woman watching right now would 27:19 you use them to win their family to win 27:21
