WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.000
And my friend Samson, who's running a school

00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:04.099
there for the pastors who are coming out there

00:00:04.099 --> 00:00:07.559
and are leaving in droves, he said, from China.

00:00:07.639 --> 00:00:09.900
I said, well, where in the world are they going?

00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:13.300
He said, well, where else could they go? They

00:00:13.300 --> 00:00:15.300
have to leave. They're going into the, I want

00:00:15.300 --> 00:00:17.239
to cry when I say it, into the mission field.

00:00:17.420 --> 00:00:22.039
And so that's the next generation. We'll train

00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:26.079
these last 40 years in China. They're doing what

00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:38.189
we did 40 years ago. God promises in Joel 2 .28

00:00:38.189 --> 00:00:42.490
to pour out His Spirit on all humanity. Welcome

00:00:42.490 --> 00:00:44.929
to global outpouring, where we contend for that

00:00:44.929 --> 00:00:47.990
promised outpouring, we equip for that outpouring,

00:00:48.009 --> 00:00:51.310
so that we may engage in that very outpouring.

00:00:51.869 --> 00:00:54.329
I'm Philip Buss. And I'm Sharon Buss. Welcome

00:00:54.329 --> 00:00:56.590

00:00:56.590 --> 00:01:00.130

00:01:00.170 --> 00:01:04.930
who's been a missionary in China, in Haiti, and

00:01:04.930 --> 00:01:09.230
other nations. And he's just come back from Mongolia,

00:01:09.230 --> 00:01:12.049
and he's going to share with us what is the latest

00:01:12.049 --> 00:01:19.560
in missions. Thank you so much for joining us

and all of the other events that we have. post

00:03:04.810 --> 00:03:07.710

00:03:07.710 --> 00:03:10.370

00:03:13.669 --> 00:03:16.729
you into a deeper place in your walk with God.

00:03:19.259 --> 00:03:21.800
Snyder, it is such a blessing to have you with

00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:24.960
us. Before we push the record button, I was talking

00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:27.680
about the last time we had you on our podcast,

00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:32.060
and you made a comment about the missions as

00:03:32.060 --> 00:03:34.780
we knew it. Everything's changed now. It's over,

00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.240
and you just saw like we've already done everything

00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:40.819
that needed to be done as far as we were concerned.

00:03:40.979 --> 00:03:43.460
I want you to speak into that. Can you bring

00:03:43.460 --> 00:03:46.900
us some clarification? Our thinking is being

00:03:46.900 --> 00:03:50.490
changed. Even Jesus, his thinking was changed

00:03:50.490 --> 00:03:54.210
as he learned obedience through the things that

00:03:54.210 --> 00:03:56.990
he suffered, right? Amen. He learned and we're

00:03:56.990 --> 00:03:59.550
learning. Well, you left off with a real good

00:03:59.550 --> 00:04:02.229
question for me, you know, what I had said earlier

00:04:02.229 --> 00:04:07.689
about my idea of traditional missions being over

00:04:07.689 --> 00:04:10.650
in as much as we learn a new language, go to

00:04:10.650 --> 00:04:12.930
a new country, tell them about Jesus. Because

00:04:12.930 --> 00:04:17.410
in the last 50 years, we've seen countries Christianized.

00:04:17.899 --> 00:04:20.939
And their own indigenous people reaching out

00:04:20.939 --> 00:04:23.220
to the unreached people groups in their areas,

00:04:23.339 --> 00:04:27.459
whereas beforehand there was nobody at that point

00:04:27.459 --> 00:04:30.500
that could do that. But we did it, and we kind

00:04:30.500 --> 00:04:34.259
of saw a conclusion to that generation. And now

00:04:34.259 --> 00:04:37.639
what we're thinking about is what's next for

00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:41.310
us, like our baby boomer. Generation. What are

00:04:41.310 --> 00:04:45.290
we all about now? And what I'm seeing now more

00:04:45.290 --> 00:04:48.310
than anything else is they need teachers. They

00:04:48.310 --> 00:04:51.170
didn't have good Bible schools. They didn't have

00:04:51.170 --> 00:04:55.930
gospel truth teachers so much. But the Holy Spirit

00:04:55.930 --> 00:04:58.730
has taught them what to do and how to do it.

00:04:58.769 --> 00:05:02.649
And I've been amazed in China to see what was

00:05:02.649 --> 00:05:06.149
available, which was nothing. All they had was

00:05:06.149 --> 00:05:09.519
a touch of the presence of the Holy Spirit. people

00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:12.600
coming to the Lord, them coming together, reading

00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:15.740
the Bible together. It was very complicated for

00:05:15.740 --> 00:05:18.319
them because they had nobody to help them, you

00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:21.500
know, plow through Numbers and Deuteronomy and

00:05:21.500 --> 00:05:24.759
that sort of thing. And it was just a totally

00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:27.040
different scene because then after that, what

00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:30.579
did they do? They ate together, they worshiped

00:05:30.579 --> 00:05:33.620
the Lord together, and then they went on to reach

00:05:33.620 --> 00:05:36.579
more people together. But it just proliferated.

00:05:36.939 --> 00:05:39.360
And what happened after that? There was no teachers.

00:05:39.779 --> 00:05:43.000
And so now I'm coming in on the back end of things

00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:46.300
all throughout Southeast Asia now, bringing teaching,

00:05:46.540 --> 00:05:52.100
and they are so hungry. Peter, don't stop. Continue.

00:05:52.300 --> 00:05:55.000
And what do you need to know more than anything

00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:58.100
else? And then I find out from the pastors what

00:05:58.100 --> 00:06:01.600
they need to know and simplify it, bring it down

00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:05.920
to something that they can understand. And it's

00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:08.319
been such a blessing because they're so humble

00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:12.060
and they want to learn. They're teachable, not

00:06:12.060 --> 00:06:14.480
like so many situations I've come into where

00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:18.589
people weren't. And even we, you and I, like

00:06:18.589 --> 00:06:20.509
we said at the beginning, we have to be ready

00:06:20.509 --> 00:06:24.389
to learn and have a teachable heart. So my idea

00:06:24.389 --> 00:06:27.069
is a lot different than it was the last time

00:06:27.069 --> 00:06:29.750
we spoke when I was there at Engletown about,

00:06:29.910 --> 00:06:32.850
you know, the end of the great white missionary

00:06:32.850 --> 00:06:37.209
hope going into that area, learning the language,

00:06:37.509 --> 00:06:41.250
bringing them to Jesus, because now it's a totally

00:06:41.250 --> 00:06:45.000
different picture. All over the world and on

00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:47.439
back to Jerusalem through the Muslim nations.

00:06:47.660 --> 00:06:51.779
And of course, Jesus returns. So let me clarify

00:06:51.779 --> 00:06:56.220
that. And I hope I did there to you. Yeah. The

00:06:56.220 --> 00:06:58.800
last time you were with us, you spoke about,

00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:01.319
you know, being the end of missions as we knew

00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:03.399
it. And it kind of left me with a question mark.

00:07:03.459 --> 00:07:06.339
So I appreciate the fact that you're clarifying

00:07:06.339 --> 00:07:09.060
this. And especially since you've just been to

00:07:09.060 --> 00:07:12.209
Mongolia. Tell us a little bit about that. That

00:07:12.209 --> 00:07:15.509
was a whole new nation for you. Yeah, and it

00:07:15.509 --> 00:07:17.709
was wonderful. It was a great experience bringing

00:07:17.709 --> 00:07:19.769
the Word of God there, because when I say the

00:07:19.769 --> 00:07:23.610
Word, I mean the gospel truth, because they had

00:07:23.610 --> 00:07:26.430
been through so much of these initial decades

00:07:26.430 --> 00:07:29.410
of learning to live and function and operate

00:07:29.410 --> 00:07:33.069
as a church. But there, you know, they were so

00:07:33.069 --> 00:07:36.649
hungry. And I'm a senior now at 70 years old.

00:07:37.089 --> 00:07:40.610
And to go to places like that with only 1 .7

00:07:40.610 --> 00:07:44.269
% Christians there, I thought, wow, that's what

00:07:44.269 --> 00:07:47.790
it was in China in 1987 when we went there. And

00:07:47.790 --> 00:07:50.790
then what happened next? It was like, whoa, it

00:07:50.790 --> 00:07:54.310
was an explosion. But the thing is, generationally

00:07:54.310 --> 00:07:56.389
speaking, I'm talking to you, Sharon, and me

00:07:56.389 --> 00:08:00.649
at our age. Things come in perfect timing. The

00:08:00.649 --> 00:08:03.769
Holy Spirit's timing is perfect. And even for

00:08:03.769 --> 00:08:06.430
this, you know, I thought, is that it? When I

00:08:06.430 --> 00:08:09.470
got over there and I saw the people and I saw

00:08:09.470 --> 00:08:13.589
their hunger and their love for each other, I

00:08:13.589 --> 00:08:16.509
thought, I almost don't want to interfere. And

00:08:16.509 --> 00:08:20.490
I did take a backseat. They brought me up to

00:08:20.490 --> 00:08:22.790
teach them these things, but I wanted to take

00:08:22.790 --> 00:08:25.670
a backseat and like a grandfather, which I am,

00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:29.160
Guide them and love them. And, you know, none

00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:32.639
of this grandstanding stuff. And they had found

00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:35.940
that some other denominations from other different

00:08:35.940 --> 00:08:39.700
countries would come in and want to control them

00:08:39.700 --> 00:08:43.419
in a situation. And they said, you need this.

00:08:44.580 --> 00:08:49.279
They didn't. What I saw was just such love. And

00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:51.679
especially during this Easter season when we

00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:55.379
were there. They all came together in Ardennet,

00:08:55.419 --> 00:08:58.779
the pastors, leaders, and the teachers. And the

00:08:58.779 --> 00:09:01.019
place was just packed. They hadn't done that

00:09:01.019 --> 00:09:04.980
there before. And there they were. And it was

00:09:04.980 --> 00:09:08.139
just a festival of love. And when you have that

00:09:08.139 --> 00:09:11.840
kind of love, you have the Holy Spirit. And what

00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:14.340
do you really need more than that except somebody

00:09:14.340 --> 00:09:18.320
to maybe come up and impress on them the need

00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:22.360
for them to keep their freedoms? And that's what

00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:25.379
Paul was most interested in because he saw what

00:09:25.379 --> 00:09:28.860
was happening. He said these Judaizers and these

00:09:28.860 --> 00:09:32.860
legalists will come in and they'll try to steal

00:09:32.860 --> 00:09:34.679
your freedom. And he said, I'm afraid of that,

00:09:34.740 --> 00:09:39.019
the wolves. And I saw that too. But they have

00:09:39.019 --> 00:09:41.779
such a grasp on the Holy Spirit and his love

00:09:41.779 --> 00:09:46.360
among themselves in Mongolia that anything outside

00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:51.159
of that is suspect. And they discern it. right

00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:53.720
now. But me as an outsider going in, you know,

00:09:53.740 --> 00:09:56.759
I had to just kind of learn from watching them.

00:09:56.820 --> 00:10:00.860
And I thought, how many other nations in Asia

00:10:00.860 --> 00:10:05.200
need this and need the old teachers to come in?

00:10:05.259 --> 00:10:07.559
And I thought I was very humbled to be able to

00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:10.320
do that. You know, they don't really put much

00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:17.080
emphasis on Easter like we do. Good Friday. But

00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:19.419
they did have that meeting. I walked in some

00:10:19.419 --> 00:10:21.679
of those churches and there was Santa Claus's

00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:26.740
picture up there. Oh, that's amazing. Santa Claus.

00:10:27.700 --> 00:10:34.669
We don't work here. So they do need grandfathers

00:10:34.669 --> 00:10:37.389
and fathers in Israel, and that's what we are.

00:10:37.629 --> 00:10:42.590
So we held three full seminars in four different

00:10:42.590 --> 00:10:45.350
places, and it was on the Father, Son, and the

00:10:45.350 --> 00:10:48.450
Holy Spirit to give them the theology of the

00:10:48.450 --> 00:10:52.740
gospel. Where we don't go back and we don't delve

00:10:52.740 --> 00:10:55.440
into the Old Covenant understanding of who God

00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:58.539
was and try to work our salvation out in the

00:10:58.539 --> 00:11:03.320
Old Testament. But we look at John 3 .16 and

00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:08.559
the good news and the context of John 3 .16 and

00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:12.200
then John chapter 3 and then the book of John

00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:15.419
and then the Gospels. And then we'll learn this

00:11:15.419 --> 00:11:19.370
all together. And then when we're finished. We'll

00:11:19.370 --> 00:11:21.950
go through the whole New Testament, learn everything

00:11:21.950 --> 00:11:26.110
we can about Jesus, and then we'll go back and

00:11:26.110 --> 00:11:30.370
look at some of the history and how it pointed

00:11:30.370 --> 00:11:34.070
to Jesus. But we don't start from there. Our

00:11:34.070 --> 00:11:38.509
foundation is in the gospel truth. And so when

00:11:38.509 --> 00:11:41.429
we held these seminars, I mean, we just being

00:11:41.429 --> 00:11:45.230
another guy and the head pastor there on the

00:11:45.230 --> 00:11:48.850
father. It was identifying who the father was,

00:11:49.029 --> 00:11:52.490
you know, the father. They never knew him as

00:11:52.490 --> 00:11:57.190
the father. And the son, of course, he's in and

00:11:57.190 --> 00:12:00.090
through everything. You teach him Colossians

00:12:00.090 --> 00:12:03.870
about that in us and who we are in the Holy Spirit.

00:12:03.889 --> 00:12:07.509
And we're one. And then the idea of the body

00:12:07.509 --> 00:12:13.220
and what privilege we have in this. Last generation,

00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:16.779
chosen generation, royal priesthood, holy nation.

00:12:17.139 --> 00:12:19.860
And then when they get their identity in that,

00:12:19.899 --> 00:12:22.419
they're not as apt to slip. And that's where

00:12:22.419 --> 00:12:24.860
Paul was reinforcing that and just pounding that

00:12:24.860 --> 00:12:29.879
same nail. I told you on that one video I just

00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:33.340
sent that I was shocked because I asked the head

00:12:33.340 --> 00:12:36.820
pastor in Mongolia. I said, what denomination

00:12:36.820 --> 00:12:39.340
are you people? Because there's just all the

00:12:39.340 --> 00:12:41.440
Christians from everyone who were gathered here.

00:12:43.210 --> 00:12:47.490
What's a denomination? Wow. I love it. He just

00:12:47.490 --> 00:12:50.909
didn't even know. And I thought, wow, I don't

00:12:50.909 --> 00:12:53.169
even want to tell him. But, you know, I checked

00:12:53.169 --> 00:12:55.730
earlier. Do you know how many denominations there

00:12:55.730 --> 00:12:58.330
are of Christianity? Oh, my. There's over 10

00:12:58.330 --> 00:13:02.870
,000. Oh, my. Yeah. Just check it out sometime.

00:13:03.110 --> 00:13:06.470
Well, a denomination is just the way certain

00:13:06.470 --> 00:13:11.279
people think and how they approach. Christianity

00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:14.940
and what they believe. But we all have our cohesion

00:13:14.940 --> 00:13:17.860
in the Apostles' Creed, of course. All Christians

00:13:17.860 --> 00:13:20.539
believe the same thing there. I believe in God

00:13:20.539 --> 00:13:22.899
the Father, Almighty Maker. Do you believe that?

00:13:22.980 --> 00:13:26.019
Do you understand that? Yes. Why do we say that?

00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:29.039
Well, Christians in the old days, many of them

00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:31.429
couldn't read. They didn't know what their faith

00:13:31.429 --> 00:13:33.870
was, but they would say that and reinforce who

00:13:33.870 --> 00:13:36.710
they knew they were as Christians, especially

00:13:36.710 --> 00:13:38.470
if they were going to be brought through fiery

00:13:38.470 --> 00:13:42.370
tribulation and persecution, which is sad, which

00:13:42.370 --> 00:13:44.830
the first century Christian church suffered like

00:13:44.830 --> 00:13:48.610
no other church before. Our church is built on

00:13:48.610 --> 00:13:50.850
the blood and the foundation of what they did.

00:13:53.179 --> 00:13:56.360
When I said, oh, yeah, we see, we know, we understand.

00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:58.879
Do you do that? Do you say this? Do you all learn

00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:02.639
that? Yes, we do. And they also learn some other

00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:06.940
old covenant things that still don't apply to

00:14:06.940 --> 00:14:10.799
the new way that Jesus made for us, you know,

00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:13.620
into discovering the kingdom and discovering

00:14:13.620 --> 00:14:17.419
who he is. And so there has to be somebody like

00:14:17.419 --> 00:14:20.860
a father. that will come in and just help them.

00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:23.980
You say, hey, this is really good, what you're

00:14:23.980 --> 00:14:26.419
doing. And here's what you can do to make it

00:14:26.419 --> 00:14:30.419
better. Here's what we can do together. And that

00:14:30.419 --> 00:14:34.679
approach never loses. But if someone goes in

00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:38.820
like the old Christian missionary, guy you know

00:14:38.820 --> 00:14:41.440
this critical spirit are you doing this and you

00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:44.600
start pointing fingers at everybody and everything

00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:47.059
say this is wrong and that's wrong you know it

00:14:47.059 --> 00:14:50.100
just causes confusion and they want to learn

00:14:50.100 --> 00:14:53.500
and like a child you don't want to you want to

00:14:53.500 --> 00:14:57.080
be very simple about the things you present and

00:14:57.080 --> 00:15:00.759
um i was teaching them along the way in mongolia

00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:03.679
you know there's a new things that the Lord wants

00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:07.159
to show you, and revelation he wants to teach

00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:10.320
you on your own, and an awakening that we need

00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:12.480
in these last days to finish the work and get

00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:15.620
a vision for what he wants us to do. And at the

00:15:15.620 --> 00:15:18.679
end of these seminars, invariably, they were

00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:22.399
coming up to me, Brother Pete, we got a vision.

00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:24.679
We had an awakening. I mean, there's tears and

00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:27.539
all kinds of wonderful breakthroughs there. Wonderful.

00:15:27.539 --> 00:15:31.169
Good. Now you're on track here. But then what

00:15:31.169 --> 00:15:34.169
does that mean for me? To say, okay, that's the

00:15:34.169 --> 00:15:37.929
end of it, ditch it and go? No, teaching is continuous.

00:15:38.389 --> 00:15:40.509
And being a teacher, I think, is the greatest

00:15:40.509 --> 00:15:44.669
thing. I'm not a pastor, and here I am, the Lord

00:15:44.669 --> 00:15:47.330
has called me to train pastors. Maybe that's

00:15:47.330 --> 00:15:50.149
better, because they're not thinking that there's

00:15:50.149 --> 00:15:52.950
any spirit of competition there among pastors

00:15:52.950 --> 00:15:57.450
or me. But just to be a teacher and bring the

00:15:57.450 --> 00:16:01.039
truth in a way that a father would. It was a

00:16:01.039 --> 00:16:03.360
wonderful experience for me, and that was the

00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:06.580
best part of Mongolia. And you've learned that

00:16:06.580 --> 00:16:11.299
too, your grandmother. And I just want the children

00:16:11.299 --> 00:16:14.620
to receive the bread, and I don't want it to

00:16:14.620 --> 00:16:17.539
be thrown to the dogs today. Amen. We know where

00:16:17.539 --> 00:16:22.179
they are. So let's see here. The girl who introduced

00:16:22.179 --> 00:16:25.940
me to the things there in Mongolia had been in

00:16:25.940 --> 00:16:30.539
China for 10 years. tribal regions all by herself,

00:16:30.779 --> 00:16:33.279
not as a Christian, but with the United Nations.

00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:36.279
And I saw what she was doing in those areas that

00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:38.159
were totally unreached at that time. I said,

00:16:38.220 --> 00:16:41.600
hey, this is wonderful. And I came in and even

00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:44.159
helped her to understand what the idea was, how

00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:46.759
we could really help and brought her to Jesus.

00:16:46.980 --> 00:16:50.220
She became a missionary and started. teaching

00:16:50.220 --> 00:16:53.019
the gospel everywhere, including North Korea

00:16:53.019 --> 00:16:56.580
for nine years. She lived there all by herself

00:16:56.580 --> 00:16:59.080
and everybody else wouldn't dare to go. And now

00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:01.440
she's been in Mongolia these last nine years.

00:17:01.500 --> 00:17:03.559
And I invited her to our house here in Phoenix.

00:17:03.820 --> 00:17:06.140
And she was here. I said, hey, do you know any

00:17:06.140 --> 00:17:09.660
of the pastors over there? And she said, well,

00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:12.819
sure. I love those pastors. I said, well, ask

00:17:12.819 --> 00:17:15.009
them if they would like. It would be all right

00:17:15.009 --> 00:17:17.490
if a teacher came through and brought seminars

00:17:17.490 --> 00:17:19.210
because that's what I've been doing in Philippines,

00:17:19.509 --> 00:17:21.730
Thailand, China and everywhere else over there.

00:17:21.990 --> 00:17:25.150
And they said, OK, we'll ask. And then she did.

00:17:25.329 --> 00:17:28.710
And they said, oh, sure. We would just love that.

00:17:28.829 --> 00:17:33.029
Wow. And so when I came there, I saw that the

00:17:33.029 --> 00:17:36.450
biggest problems. that they had were some of

00:17:36.450 --> 00:17:38.349
the things we saw in some of the deepest tribal

00:17:38.349 --> 00:17:42.150
regions with alcoholism. But they have their

00:17:42.150 --> 00:17:45.809
own rehab centers and they have their own prison

00:17:45.809 --> 00:17:49.190
ministries, which is wonderful. But what I really

00:17:49.190 --> 00:17:52.589
loved. And I wanted to be part of, and I told

00:17:52.589 --> 00:17:55.930
you this before I ever went there, I wanted to

00:17:55.930 --> 00:17:59.210
reach some of those lost tribes that nobody had

00:17:59.210 --> 00:18:01.170
reached. Because I heard there's 28 tribes and

00:18:01.170 --> 00:18:04.769
23 of them haven't heard about Jesus. So everywhere

00:18:04.769 --> 00:18:07.210
I went there, I asked them, is there any outreach?

00:18:07.470 --> 00:18:09.490
What do you guys do? And right then, you know,

00:18:09.509 --> 00:18:11.349
we were there. There's two blizzards we went

00:18:11.349 --> 00:18:14.029
through when we were there. But these guys were

00:18:14.029 --> 00:18:16.130
coming in on horseback. I mean, they looked,

00:18:16.170 --> 00:18:20.339
they're freezing to death. And they said, this

00:18:20.339 --> 00:18:22.660
is outreach. Isn't God good? We were able to

00:18:22.660 --> 00:18:25.000
go to some of these tribes. I said, can I go

00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:27.420
with him? And I thought maybe I couldn't fit

00:18:27.420 --> 00:18:29.099
on one of those horses because I'm a little bit

00:18:29.099 --> 00:18:32.220
bigger than they are, I thought. But then I saw

00:18:32.220 --> 00:18:34.440
some of them, they were bigger than me. And I

00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:36.400
thought, well, if they can do it, I can. I just

00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:38.519
would rather go at a time when it's not so cold.

00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:43.319
But up they went, down to the east. And right

00:18:43.319 --> 00:18:45.240
as we were leaving, the head pastor was going

00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:47.579
down into the Gobi, to the tribes there, and

00:18:47.579 --> 00:18:51.440
up by Russia and off to the west. And the head

00:18:51.440 --> 00:18:54.160
pastor's going to take three other pastors going

00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:58.240
into Uzbekistan and Kajikistan and bring the

00:18:58.240 --> 00:19:01.339
gospel to the Mongolians there and up into Russia

00:19:01.339 --> 00:19:05.380
so that they can. Do their own outreach from

00:19:05.380 --> 00:19:08.460
there and show them what they've learned. So

00:19:08.460 --> 00:19:10.819
all of that I learned in such a short time there.

00:19:10.900 --> 00:19:13.940
And I thank God, you know, that I was able to

00:19:13.940 --> 00:19:16.180
do that. And I'm looking forward to going back.

00:19:16.539 --> 00:19:20.140
But first I have to go to Thailand and Philippines

00:19:20.140 --> 00:19:23.680
and teach and then into China. I'll take Lauren

00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:25.660
in there with me. We haven't been there since

00:19:25.660 --> 00:19:29.930
COVID. Yeah, Lauren, my wife. I'm looking to

00:19:29.930 --> 00:19:32.730
see how the pastors are doing over there because

00:19:32.730 --> 00:19:36.049
I've heard nothing from them. When we were there,

00:19:36.210 --> 00:19:39.750
it was called WeChat. Do you remember WeChat,

00:19:39.970 --> 00:19:43.430
how we would talk to each other? And today there's

00:19:43.430 --> 00:19:45.750
WhatsApp and Signal and some of these others,

00:19:45.809 --> 00:19:49.529
but I had all the pastors' names and their contact

00:19:49.529 --> 00:19:52.430
information on WeChat. As soon as I got to America

00:19:52.430 --> 00:19:56.869
and got an American phone number, they were all

00:19:56.869 --> 00:20:01.339
gone. And so I've had no contact with any of

00:20:01.339 --> 00:20:04.480
them, except for the pastors that came out to

00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:08.559
Thailand, who I don't see, and my friend Samson,

00:20:08.579 --> 00:20:10.519
who's running a school there for the pastors

00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:13.400
who are coming out there and are leaving in droves,

00:20:13.400 --> 00:20:16.460
he said, from China. I said, well, where in the

00:20:16.460 --> 00:20:19.740
world are they going? He said, well, where else

00:20:19.740 --> 00:20:21.779
could they go? They have to leave. They're going

00:20:21.779 --> 00:20:23.960
into the, I want to cry when I say it, into the

00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:27.910
mission field. Amen. So that's the next generation.

00:20:28.210 --> 00:20:31.269
You know, we've trained these last 40 years in

00:20:31.269 --> 00:20:35.269
China. They're doing what we did 40 years ago.

00:20:35.670 --> 00:20:38.450
And it's so precious. And they have that, you

00:20:38.450 --> 00:20:41.269
know, the Back to Jerusalem movement. Yes. Not

00:20:41.269 --> 00:20:44.690
just the Chinese, but all the Asians. They want

00:20:44.690 --> 00:20:48.269
to go back and see where Jesus was and where

00:20:48.269 --> 00:20:52.279
he rose from the dead, where he was born. And

00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:54.980
Jesus himself said, you know, from Jerusalem

00:20:54.980 --> 00:20:57.680
to Judea, Samaria to the outermost parts of the

00:20:57.680 --> 00:21:00.720
earth. And then, of course, it would go all the

00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:04.339
way around the world and back to Jerusalem. And

00:21:04.339 --> 00:21:08.059
the last time I was there in Jerusalem was with

00:21:08.059 --> 00:21:12.359
Gene and the Chinese pastor. And I took them.

00:21:12.420 --> 00:21:14.440
I thought, well, praise God, at least I can go

00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:18.039
and see some of the Chinese. All the way back

00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:20.240
to where Jesus started his ministry is the Jordan

00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:22.680
River there outside of Jericho. And so Gene took

00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:26.500
us there. And so I took Pastor Sampson, who has

00:21:26.500 --> 00:21:31.920
that school in Thailand, a Chinese pastor, teaching

00:21:31.920 --> 00:21:34.559
the Chinese pastors. And I said, Sampson, go

00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:37.920
down into the water. And he started to go down

00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:42.799
into the water. And out of the crowd came these

00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:48.759
other Chinese. Wow. There's something about going

00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:51.740
to the toilet in China that one person has to

00:21:51.740 --> 00:21:54.859
go, they all go. They saw him go, and they came

00:21:54.859 --> 00:21:57.460
out from everywhere at about five or six of them,

00:21:57.460 --> 00:22:00.079
and they all went down in the water, didn't know

00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:02.660
each other. took a hold of each other's hands

00:22:02.660 --> 00:22:06.339
and went down and up and down and down. And they

00:22:06.339 --> 00:22:09.519
were singing this song. I tell you, Sharon, I

00:22:09.519 --> 00:22:11.940
knew the song, but I never had heard it before.

00:22:12.119 --> 00:22:14.599
Like that song in the book of Revelation that

00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:17.640
they sing. And the presence of God was over that

00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:22.279
place like never before. Hallelujah. I've seen

00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:25.559
it. That's where Jesus started his ministry.

00:22:26.299 --> 00:22:28.539
And that's where he ended his ministry when he

00:22:28.539 --> 00:22:31.259
went back to Jerusalem himself to die on the

00:22:31.259 --> 00:22:34.200
cross. And Thomas said, come on, let's go with

00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:37.619
him, boys. And we all have to go through that

00:22:37.619 --> 00:22:40.480
valley there that goes back to Jerusalem. It's

00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:44.839
called the Valley of the Shadow of Death. Dean

00:22:44.839 --> 00:22:48.319
said, look up here. This is the mountain of temptation.

00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:50.339
I said, yeah, but do you know what that is down

00:22:50.339 --> 00:22:52.859
there? I've gone through it all the way back.

00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:55.559
It's the valley of the shadow of death. And that's

00:22:55.559 --> 00:22:57.900
where Jesus went when he went back and raised

00:22:57.900 --> 00:23:01.420
Lazarus from the dead, which was a type of what

00:23:01.420 --> 00:23:05.200
he was about to do himself, and then redeemed

00:23:05.200 --> 00:23:09.680
the entire world. I'm saying this to say that

00:23:09.680 --> 00:23:12.539
all of the Asians are very, very keen on this

00:23:12.539 --> 00:23:17.480
notion of Jesus returning to Jerusalem and to

00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:22.119
finish the work through the Muslim nations. But

00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:24.779
there's something to be said for that in as much

00:23:24.779 --> 00:23:29.339
as the Muslims all know who Jesus is. But, you

00:23:29.339 --> 00:23:31.799
know, they don't know that he's the Messiah.

00:23:32.039 --> 00:23:35.539
Right. And it's just a hard nut to crack. It's

00:23:35.539 --> 00:23:38.900
like. It is in Israel with the Jews. The religious

00:23:38.900 --> 00:23:41.180
spirit is the hardest one to get through to.

00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:46.119
And I mean, not many come to the Lord, but in

00:23:46.119 --> 00:23:48.240
the fires that they're going through now over

00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:50.799
there in the Middle East. That's what's going

00:23:50.799 --> 00:23:53.279
to bring it all forth because there's always

00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:56.500
one hand is the awakening and the other hand

00:23:56.500 --> 00:23:59.700
is the fires of the persecution. It's always

00:23:59.700 --> 00:24:03.980
like that. So I guess what I wanted to say more

00:24:03.980 --> 00:24:06.799
than anything else on this podcast is that our

00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:11.000
generation has a wonderful, wonderful responsibility

00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:15.029
and calling as teachers. And to me, there's nothing

00:24:15.029 --> 00:24:17.390
greater than being a teacher. I'm heading out

00:24:17.390 --> 00:24:19.890
in a couple of weeks to go back to Asia. And

00:24:19.890 --> 00:24:22.529
then a couple of weeks after that, back to China.

00:24:23.210 --> 00:24:25.789
Hopefully, I'll come and see you in the late

00:24:25.789 --> 00:24:31.269
summer or early fall. And then from there, we're

00:24:31.269 --> 00:24:32.990
going to put our heads together and figure out

00:24:32.990 --> 00:24:36.349
what to do next. Now, I do have a little word

00:24:36.349 --> 00:24:38.859
to give. It's only just a minute. Sure. But I

00:24:38.859 --> 00:24:41.680
want you to hear this. Good. I found this morning,

00:24:41.779 --> 00:24:44.339
and it touched my heart, you know, Hezekiah had

00:24:44.339 --> 00:24:47.460
his life extended, remember? Mm -hmm. And chapter

00:24:47.460 --> 00:24:53.119
20 of 2 Kings, and here comes Isaiah, and he

00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:55.700
speaks to him when these Babylonians came, looks

00:24:55.700 --> 00:24:58.819
at all the gold that Hezekiah had accumulated.

00:24:59.460 --> 00:25:03.539
So Hezekiah had given these extra years, and

00:25:03.539 --> 00:25:05.900
we've been given extra years now. Yes, we have.

00:25:06.079 --> 00:25:09.640
I'm telling you. And there's a tight fear. But

00:25:09.640 --> 00:25:13.259
then he told them they came from a far country.

00:25:13.380 --> 00:25:16.680
And Isaiah said, they will come and take your

00:25:16.680 --> 00:25:19.559
sons who will descend from you, who you will

00:25:19.559 --> 00:25:22.759
beget, and they shall become eunuchs in the palace

00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:26.079
of the king of Babylon. So Hezekiah said to Isaiah,

00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:28.079
and here's where I had the problem with this.

00:25:28.380 --> 00:25:30.720
The word of the Lord which you have spoken is

00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:34.680
a good word. For he said, will there not be peace

00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:37.680
and truth at least in my days? Yeah, that breaks

00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:40.779
my heart. Yeah, but listen, it did me too. It

00:25:40.779 --> 00:25:44.380
troubled me for a minute. But then I thought,

00:25:44.460 --> 00:25:48.400
he knew what was coming. We all knew what was

00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:52.039
coming to the United States, but it was averted.

00:25:52.680 --> 00:25:55.420
We have an extended period of time now before

00:25:55.420 --> 00:25:58.619
Manasseh gets into the picture. You know, if

00:25:58.619 --> 00:26:01.140
Hezekiah's life hadn't been extended, there would

00:26:01.140 --> 00:26:03.940
have been no Manasseh. Think about it. I know,

00:26:04.019 --> 00:26:06.789
I have thought about that. Well, here, what he

00:26:06.789 --> 00:26:09.490
says, this will be good. Won't there be truth

00:26:09.490 --> 00:26:12.190
in my days? And it bothered me because I thought,

00:26:12.210 --> 00:26:13.930
well, what about his kids and grandkids have

00:26:13.930 --> 00:26:15.769
become eunuchs? Wouldn't he worry about them?

00:26:16.130 --> 00:26:21.410
But then in my days, in my generation, at least

00:26:21.410 --> 00:26:25.069
he knew he had that generation to make a difference,

00:26:25.289 --> 00:26:29.130
bring the truth, finish his calling, finish his

00:26:29.130 --> 00:26:33.289
work, like Paul said, and do what he had to do.

00:26:33.769 --> 00:26:37.710
in his days, and our generation too. And so that's

00:26:37.710 --> 00:26:40.029
where my mind, what's going to happen is going

00:26:40.029 --> 00:26:43.509
to happen. You know, that's all been written

00:26:43.509 --> 00:26:46.769
in the books. But we have been given a very,

00:26:46.809 --> 00:26:51.710
very special period of time now. We saw what

00:26:51.710 --> 00:26:55.009
could have happened if things would have continued

00:26:55.009 --> 00:26:58.619
on the way they went. And thank God they didn't.

00:26:58.619 --> 00:27:01.240
But this is an extended period of time for us

00:27:01.240 --> 00:27:04.859
to get this mind about us of what we can do to

00:27:04.859 --> 00:27:08.619
finish well. Beyond that, there's nothing anybody

00:27:08.619 --> 00:27:12.180
can do about it. Not Hezekiah, not Isaiah, not

00:27:12.180 --> 00:27:16.400
you or me. But this is a very urgent time. And

00:27:16.400 --> 00:27:18.400
when I saw that, I was just like you. It broke

00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:27.509
my heart. Poor children. I've lost a son. I know

00:27:27.509 --> 00:27:31.769
what it's like. But the children, the children,

00:27:31.890 --> 00:27:35.269
if we do what we're called to do and finish the

00:27:35.269 --> 00:27:38.349
work the way we're supposed to do it, God will

00:27:38.349 --> 00:27:41.269
take care of our children. My father used to

00:27:41.269 --> 00:27:44.750
tell me that. My brother said, why are you selling

00:27:44.750 --> 00:27:47.309
everything we have and giving it to the Haitians?

00:27:47.650 --> 00:27:49.549
He said, well, if I take care of God's work,

00:27:49.630 --> 00:27:52.079
he'll take care of my kids. children. He said,

00:27:52.099 --> 00:27:53.880
I don't want that kind of inheritance. I want

00:27:53.880 --> 00:27:57.380
the real kind. But you know what? This is the

00:27:57.380 --> 00:28:01.680
real kind. This is the real kind. Well, that's

00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:04.859
just about all I have here. In our generation,

00:28:04.980 --> 00:28:07.920
you said that there was another generation. There

00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:12.160
was this generation of baby boomers, the millennials,

00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:18.289
and a group, what did you call them? Gen Y. The

00:28:18.289 --> 00:28:23.150
Gen Y. I'd never even heard of it. Or maybe it's

00:28:23.150 --> 00:28:25.309
Gen X. Maybe it's Gen X. I'm not sure. Gen X,

00:28:25.390 --> 00:28:28.410
Gen Y. Or there's Gen Z. I know that. But then

00:28:28.410 --> 00:28:31.150
the next group that I don't know, that's the

00:28:31.150 --> 00:28:34.529
beta. I thought, what is the next bunch that

00:28:34.529 --> 00:28:35.990
are coming in? And they're the ones that will

00:28:35.990 --> 00:28:39.670
be most greatly influenced by technology. And

00:28:39.670 --> 00:28:41.829
we see the little kids jumping on the iPhones,

00:28:41.930 --> 00:28:44.410
jumping on this and using AI and doing all this

00:28:44.410 --> 00:28:47.740
stuff. What's that going to bring forth? Well,

00:28:47.900 --> 00:28:50.920
it depends on what the fathers and mothers, how

00:28:50.920 --> 00:28:53.759
they lead them and guide them into the next generation.

00:28:54.019 --> 00:28:59.119
We can determine what smells fishy and what doesn't

00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:02.000
and can help them along. And so I guess when

00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:04.539
we spoke the last time and I thought maybe my

00:29:04.539 --> 00:29:07.880
role is an overseas missionary and the traditional

00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:12.440
sense is over. It certainly is not when it comes

00:29:12.440 --> 00:29:16.019
to being a guard dog. Amen. of the kingdom and

00:29:16.019 --> 00:29:21.180
a watchman, as it says in Habakkuk, remember?

00:29:21.400 --> 00:29:25.099
Yes, I will stand upon the ramparts. Yes, we

00:29:25.099 --> 00:29:27.880
do. I love you, honey, and I love you, Philip.

00:29:27.900 --> 00:29:30.460
I can't see you back there. Hope you're doing

00:29:30.460 --> 00:29:31.960
okay. Yeah, I'm doing good. Did you get that

00:29:31.960 --> 00:29:35.960
grease out of your fingernails? He was changing

00:29:35.960 --> 00:29:40.079
the oil, wasn't he? Yes. He's a man of many hats.

00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:42.819
You know, I want to add something here, Peter.

00:29:43.450 --> 00:29:46.450
Something that the Lord has reminded me of, I

00:29:46.450 --> 00:29:49.250
studied this book a number of years ago, but

00:29:49.250 --> 00:29:52.730
there's a little yellow book called Praying Effectively

00:29:52.730 --> 00:29:56.869
for the Lost. And it's really, really powerful

00:29:56.869 --> 00:30:01.789
in just bringing a clarity to the importance

00:30:01.789 --> 00:30:05.950
of prayer when it comes to salvation for the

00:30:05.950 --> 00:30:09.309
lost. That you're not going to find anybody that's

00:30:09.309 --> 00:30:12.490
getting saved. Unless somebody's praying for

00:30:12.490 --> 00:30:15.589
them. And that's a part of missions that a lot

00:30:15.589 --> 00:30:18.490
of folks don't get a hold of. They don't feel

00:30:18.490 --> 00:30:20.990
called to the nations. Maybe they maybe they're

00:30:20.990 --> 00:30:23.069
interested in the nations, but they don't see

00:30:23.069 --> 00:30:26.529
themselves going there. But the value of prayer.

00:30:27.450 --> 00:30:30.230
for bringing in the harvest is just enormous.

00:30:30.470 --> 00:30:32.730
Pray the Lord of the harvest that he'll bring

00:30:32.730 --> 00:30:35.509
forth laborers into the harvest fields. And the

00:30:35.509 --> 00:30:39.170
idea of binding the strongman. The strongman

00:30:39.170 --> 00:30:43.690
is the way of thinking, the mindset that keeps

00:30:43.690 --> 00:30:46.630
people from accepting the gospel. There's like

00:30:46.630 --> 00:30:50.450
a stronghold in the very center that it's unbelief

00:30:50.450 --> 00:30:53.910
in Jesus as the Messiah, as our Savior. It's

00:30:53.910 --> 00:30:56.809
a spirit of unbelief, or it's... a mindset, rather,

00:30:56.910 --> 00:31:00.349
of unbelief, and it's guarded by a whole bunch

00:31:00.349 --> 00:31:03.670
of other things that are besetting sins in a

00:31:03.670 --> 00:31:06.650
person's life, whether it's greed or lust or

00:31:06.650 --> 00:31:10.950
addiction or trauma or abuse or, you know, any

00:31:10.950 --> 00:31:14.329
of those kind of things that keep a person from

00:31:14.329 --> 00:31:18.609
getting the gospel in, like where in the parable

00:31:18.609 --> 00:31:22.000
of the sower, where you've got Instantly, as

00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:26.500
soon as that seed is dropped on the ground, the

00:31:26.500 --> 00:31:30.559
birds are there swallowing it up. And our prayer

00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:35.299
life is key in seeing this revival, seeing the

00:31:35.299 --> 00:31:38.619
outpouring, seeing souls come. And I just feel

00:31:38.619 --> 00:31:42.160
like that is a piece that we really need to bring

00:31:42.160 --> 00:31:47.779
again, anew, afresh, this idea of intercession.

00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:52.339
for the lost is just enormous. Can I make an

00:31:52.339 --> 00:31:55.259
application to that? Please. Because it's something

00:31:55.259 --> 00:31:57.480
that I learned kind of the hard way. You know,

00:31:57.519 --> 00:32:00.619
I couldn't see any of the people in Israel and

00:32:00.619 --> 00:32:03.359
Jerusalem becoming Christians. And I tried talking

00:32:03.359 --> 00:32:06.660
to them about Jesus and the Orthodox synagogues

00:32:06.660 --> 00:32:10.720
and this and that. And as I was leaving, one

00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:14.539
man, he was a Holocaust survivor. He came up

00:32:14.539 --> 00:32:17.740
to me and as I was leaving, he said, Promise

00:32:17.740 --> 00:32:21.980
me something. I said, what? Promise me I can

00:32:21.980 --> 00:32:27.779
walk in the kingdom with you. I said, okay. And

00:32:27.779 --> 00:32:31.160
I left his house, and Satan just peed up on me.

00:32:31.180 --> 00:32:35.019
He said, how dare you? How dare you say that

00:32:35.019 --> 00:32:37.759
to him? You have no authority. And then out of

00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:41.839
my heart came Psalm 116. I believe, therefore

00:32:41.839 --> 00:32:45.740
I spoke. Shut up, devil. And I went home and

00:32:45.740 --> 00:32:48.519
he was harassing me and harassing me. Got on

00:32:48.519 --> 00:32:52.140
my knees in my bedroom. And I started weeping

00:32:52.140 --> 00:32:54.539
and weeping for this guy and these other ones

00:32:54.539 --> 00:32:58.640
there. And the Lord spoke to me and said, how

00:32:58.640 --> 00:33:02.059
do you think you came in, Peter? It's those tears

00:33:02.059 --> 00:33:05.779
of your mother and grandmother and all. And I

00:33:05.779 --> 00:33:08.960
hadn't had that revelation. But, you know, I'm

00:33:08.960 --> 00:33:12.690
convinced. The love extended and where we make

00:33:12.690 --> 00:33:15.630
these relationships, they're eternal. They go

00:33:15.630 --> 00:33:17.789
beyond anything we can see, even if it's only

00:33:17.789 --> 00:33:21.369
a hope. Like you said that last time, Psalm 91,

00:33:21.509 --> 00:33:25.390
the last verse. Yes. And show him my salvation.

00:33:25.890 --> 00:33:28.730
Exactly. Well, thanks for saying that. I'm going

00:33:28.730 --> 00:33:31.490
to look for that. I think I read that book. It's

00:33:31.490 --> 00:33:34.329
an old book, Pray Effectively for the Lost. Yeah.

00:33:34.329 --> 00:33:36.630
You don't know who wrote it? Yes, it's Lee Thomas.

00:33:36.809 --> 00:33:39.420
Lee Thomas is the author. He's got some nice

00:33:39.420 --> 00:33:41.559
YouTube videos out there, too. Yeah, he's got

00:33:41.559 --> 00:33:45.480
a 14 -year -old YouTube video that teaches some

00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:49.019
of this in nine -minute segments. It's like a

00:33:49.019 --> 00:33:54.119
90 -minute total. But it's PEL Ministries, Praying

00:33:54.119 --> 00:33:56.759
Effectively for the Lost. PELministries .org,

00:33:56.900 --> 00:34:00.200
I think it is, is his website. And I've just

00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:02.960
been—I went back to my book. And I marked it

00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:05.640
all up the first time I read it. So I marked

00:34:05.640 --> 00:34:08.920
it up some more this time. And I'm just, I'm

00:34:08.920 --> 00:34:11.920
very, very moved about the importance of prayer.

00:34:12.039 --> 00:34:14.840
And what you said about tears, one of the quotes

00:34:14.840 --> 00:34:17.380
that he makes in this book, and I've heard it

00:34:17.380 --> 00:34:20.300
other times when folks that were in the Salvation

00:34:20.300 --> 00:34:22.360
Army were reaching out to General Booth and saying,

00:34:22.420 --> 00:34:26.679
we are having no success in our outreach. We're

00:34:26.679 --> 00:34:29.340
just getting nowhere. And General Booth wrote

00:34:29.340 --> 00:34:35.230
back two words. Try tears. Try tears. It's the

00:34:35.230 --> 00:34:37.389
compassion of the Lord. We've got to get a love

00:34:37.389 --> 00:34:40.389
for the lost to be able to pray for them. When

00:34:40.389 --> 00:34:43.389
we have our children, we learn that. We have

00:34:43.389 --> 00:34:45.769
a mother's heart and a father's heart. Yeah.

00:34:46.320 --> 00:34:49.280
That's where we learn it. That's where we become

00:34:49.280 --> 00:34:52.539
fathers and mothers of the lost, too. It's true.

00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:55.739
Well, honey, this is a new day for all of us,

00:34:55.760 --> 00:34:57.860
and we have a new beginning and a new start.

00:34:58.019 --> 00:35:02.039
I think everything began, was born new with this

00:35:02.039 --> 00:35:05.559
new administration in Washington. And it's our

00:35:05.559 --> 00:35:08.239
time extended that we have, and we need to use

00:35:08.239 --> 00:35:12.440
it wisely. Yes. And, you know, just redeem the

00:35:12.440 --> 00:35:15.829
time. And I really appreciate you giving me a

00:35:15.829 --> 00:35:18.489
chance to talk. All my friends that are out there

00:35:18.489 --> 00:35:21.050
I haven't spoken to in a long time. We'll be

00:35:21.050 --> 00:35:24.150
seeing you again sometime soon, okay? Amen. Amen.

00:35:24.409 --> 00:35:26.389
Do you want to pray for our listeners before

00:35:26.389 --> 00:35:30.050
we part here? I would like to. Father, we just

00:35:30.050 --> 00:35:32.409
thank you for this eternal moment. It's been

00:35:32.409 --> 00:35:35.210
so precious to be in your presence. I hope I

00:35:35.210 --> 00:35:37.789
can get through this prayer. I just speak life

00:35:37.789 --> 00:35:40.610
over everybody that's listening, Lord, and an

00:35:40.610 --> 00:35:43.429
awakening, a vision of the things of the days

00:35:43.429 --> 00:35:45.630
ahead that you would have us to do, that you

00:35:45.630 --> 00:35:47.889
enabled us to do, Lord, and that you would send

00:35:47.889 --> 00:35:51.530
us forth to do. Provide for us, Lord. Bring forth

00:35:51.530 --> 00:35:54.769
divine provision like never before. And more

00:35:54.769 --> 00:35:57.190
than that, Lord, give us a certainty as to what

00:35:57.190 --> 00:35:59.829
our calling is and our identity is in you, Lord

00:35:59.829 --> 00:36:03.409
Jesus, that we have this authority. I speak that

00:36:03.409 --> 00:36:06.269
into all those that are listening right now as

00:36:06.269 --> 00:36:08.670
we go forth and we speak it into the lives by

00:36:08.670 --> 00:36:11.989
impartation to those that you would send us to.

00:36:12.070 --> 00:36:14.070
In the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:36:14.369 --> 00:36:23.300
We all said it. Amen. If you enjoyed today's
