SSM Second Night Notes
----------------------------------------------
As you study creation, you will find God there!
----------------------------------------------
Matt 19:18
Honour your father and mother, love your neighbour as yourselves!
----------------------------------------------
John 15
Love one another, just as I have Loved you! (Jesus)
--> Second level of love!
First level love as self, second level love as Jesus did!
----------------------------------------------
Eph 3:17-21!
And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge - that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God (:
----------------------------------------------
Songs Of Solomon
---> Full time choir to follow around those in love lol.
----------------------------------------------
The kingdom has a high value for passion!
The disciples knew servant-hood!
But the kingdom has a high value for passion! (Like Mary who poured perfume on Jesus' feet)
Maybe we have focused too much on obedience and starved people from passion, from love!
From experiencing love and doing this out of the passion of love!
----------------------------------------------
You think that these great missionaries are sacrificing things for God!
But if you're in love, it doesn't matter! It is completely driven by passion!
From the outside it can look like sacrifice, but from the inside its driven by passion!
Its not hard, its easy, there's nothing you'd rather do!
Sometimes the church, enslaved by discipline, looks at these guys and are like "wow they make great sacrifices!"
But its not like that, you get in the centre of their world, and its really easy, nothing matters, nothing is hard!
The greatest value is not discipline, its passion, its love!
----------------------------------------------
Motorbikes 30 miles in the rain and cold. Its not sacrifice, its love, its completely worth it. That's love (:
----------------------------------------------
We always tell each other in the church "You have to read the Bible, you have to pray, you have to listen to God, and if you don't, BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN TO YOU"
But that shouldn't be the case! That's not the purpose of the gospel! Its about love!
----------------------------------------------
"You really have to ride your motorbike to see your girlfriend!"
"No no, anything but that!"
Lol.
----------------------------------------------
Kris doesn't do this for money! He doesn't do conferences for money! He doesn't need it! He hates planes, he hates travel, he hates flights, and the only reason why they do this is because they love us, they love people (:
Haha. Love (:
----------------------------------------------
I want to be so in love with Jesus that everything flows out naturally and I'm here because I love this guy and I like these people! (:
----------------------------------------------
Hebrews 11: 11-12!
Abraham vs Sarah.
----------------------------------------------
Men learn to save your marriages
"I, was wrong."
Maturity is learning to say "I was wrong" the moment you see it!
Not days later!
----------------------------------------------
Ladies learn to save your marriages
"I forgive you"
Don't tell us why you knew we were wrong! Its rubbing it in, we don't want to talk about it! It took us a long time to get here!
Lol.
----------------------------------------------
Love rewrites your history!
You think you have a terrible past, but God rewrites your story, and suddenly later everyone wants to be you!
Haha well.
Because He loves you. And when God loves you, your history looks like His.
----------------------------------------------
Oh my gosh Kris's grandfather loved him his whole life (:
----------------------------------------------
If Kris' grandfather, who never knew God, knew how to love Kris, how much more will your Father in heaven love you!
----------------------------------------------
You cannot exaggerate the love of God! The moment you ask it, or tell it, its bigger. Than you ever could think it was.
His love can be experienced, but not explained!
And if you knew that God loved you, you can never again doubt that your life has a purpose.
And whatever bad thing that has happened to you, He didn't do it.
He loves you too much.
<3

SSM First Night!
SSM First Night!
----------------------------------------------------
When you accept Jesus you enter full-time ministry! You may be pretty bad at it but you're in it! --> Kris
----------------------------------------------------
When our theology moves towards our reality, it changes our destiny!
----------------------------------------------------
When we realise that our Father, really is God, like in charge of the universe, and he says we are royalty?
Whoa.
Dude. We're all royal.
God doesn't use little people! He doesn't have any!
----------------------------------------------------
The heavens still spin! God is still working!
----------------------------------------------------
Humans are the only creations made after God's image.
Don't ever talk bad or little about yourself because when you do that, you dishonor the Creator who made you!
You're amazing.
----------------------------------------------------
God gave us a sex drive!
That means we want to have sex with somebody!
But what happens is that in many churches we pretend it doesn't exist! We pretend that this isn't happening to our young people!
And we wonder why we're losing our young people.
----------------------------------------------------
So why does God give us a sex drive way before we're supposed to have sex!
"Far be it from me that I give to God something that cost me nothing." --> David.
God wants us to give our partner something that cost us a ton, blood, sweat and tears to keep!
So yeah (:
----------------------------------------------------
Luke 22:19! (Luke 22: 14-20)
And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying 'This is my body which is given to you, do this is remembrance of me.'
----------------------------------------------------
Romans something
..........
Hebrews 9:16
Where a covenant is...
---------------------------------------------------
The Old Testament is an old covenant!
----------------------------------------------------
God created you because he likes you! If he didn't, He'd get rid of you a long time ago.
God had a world without you, and he didn't like it! That's why he created you! He likes you!
----------------------------------------------------
Moses vs People
Moses: God wants a relationship with you, People!
People: "God scares us, you tell us what God says, Moses, but don't let us talk to Him, lest we die :o
Rules vs Relationship! People chose rules! God gave them HUNDREDS OF RULES.
And its impossible to keep all those rules!
That's what the new covenant is for, to recreate the relationship with God! Jesus!
----------------------------------------------------
A covenant means: A promise made until death.
Its serious business.
You would use to cut an animal in half and walk through its blood to commit to that, in public. Signify that if someone breaks it, he has to die! A promise made unto death.
----------------------------------------------------
Now God made a covenant with his people, about rules! You wanna be righteous on your own? Keep all these rules.
But its not possible! So God wants to change the covenant. And to do that, He has to die! A covenant made unto death!
A new covenant makes the old obsolete!
Hebrews 8:10-13
It is fulfilled, it passes away!
----------------------------------------------------
Matt Chap 5:--> Jesus says, you have heard it, love your friends, hate your enemies! But I say now love your enemy, and pray for him!
Where the people hear to hate their enemies!
From God! God said go into Israel and kill everybody, don't let anyone get away!
Saul loses his kingship because he EXTENDED MERCY to a king that God did not extend mercy to!
Psl 129:31
Joshua 11: 20
David killed everyone who didn't love God!
----------------------------------------------------
There's a big difference between the old covenant and the new covenant!
David killed, showed no mercy, to people who did not know what they were doing!
Paul said show mercy to those who do not know what they were doing!
So did Stephen as he was dying! Show mercy!
There is a difference!
----------------------------------------------------
Plenty of people try to bring the old covenant into the new covenant! This is wrong!
Many people in America say that at 9/11, it was God judging America for sin!
Anytime something bad happens in America, people say its God judging America!
----------------------------------------------------
Mercy is not Justice!
Mercy does not feel good! Pastor Derek judging that A can go free for murder because A's father used to play golf with Pastor Derek, that's mercy!
But it won't feel good!
Now bring Jesus into it! Because Jesus is sinless, and does not deserve to die, when he dies for your sin, Justice is fulfilled!
When Jesus dies, Justice is fulfilled, and now God can release Mercy! Without being crooked!
See, God doesn't need to punish anyone anymore! He doesn't owe anybody anything! He can let anybody off that He wants to because His son died for Justice, now he can release Mercy!
God doesn't punish anyone nowadays for bad things! He doesn't have to! Don't make a misunderstanding of the new covenant!
----------------------------------------------------
Punishment is not the same as Discipline k. Discipline is in love.
----------------------------------------------------
Don't try to administer justice against people/for God! You are paying twice for what God has already done!
"America needs to be judged!" Well, so do you!
Shut up lol.
----------------------------------------------------
Jesus said to the Pharisees "
Violent men take the kingdom by force! The law said "stay out". The prophets say "You didn't keep all the laws, you can't come in!"
And Jesus took his cross as a Battering Ram and smashed our way in!
Trojan Hose of Jesus Christ! You are hidden in Christ! You snuck in through the grace of Jesus Christ!
And now that you're in, you think everyone else outside should be punished!
....
....
"America deserves judgement! And we need to change, or America is going to be judged by God!"
Blahblahblah materialism blahblahblah.
----------------------------------------------------
There's a difference between sowing and reaping and judgement!
"Its semantics"
Its not semantics.
Judgement means to condemn, to consider, to pass judgement, etc
Judgement means God makes you pay for what you did wrong!
Sowing and Reaping is the natural response of what you do! You make a decision, and you reap what you sow! It has nothing to do with God needing to actively punish you! You do it to yourself!
God is trying to get us to not reap what we sow! Thats called grace. He stood between our sowing and reaping, put up the wall of the cross, to keep us getting what we deserve!
----------------------------------------------------
Housing prices going up by 20%
Employee's wages are only going up by 3%
At some point, the employees will not have money to buy houses!
Banks make money when they sell money!
So instead of giving 80% loans, they give 90% loans!
And people only need to pay 10% of their house up front!
So people can buy their houses again which will be worth more money anyway, so the money comes back!
But the money doesn't flatten out, because people who sell houses, they want to make money! So they keep trying to sell higher, and higher!
So the bank needs money, so it gives 100% loans to sell money!
And people can buy houses again!
But people are not invested in their houses anymore! 0%!
And at some point people start giving their houses back to the bank!
This equals housing crisis.
Now if you were 20% invested in your house, you would hang onto your money, money you have earned through sweat and hard work!
But now that you're not, you're just like "I'll give the bank the house back."
Banks go bust, insurance companies go broke...
"Its the insurance companies' fault"
"Its the politicians' fault"
"Its George Bush's fault"
"Its God's fault"
That's not the judgement of God, that's the spirit of stupid!
No wonder people don't want to be Christians...
----------------------------------------------------
Isaiah 61:2 "The spirit of the Lord is upon me to...." His inauguration speech in the temple!
When Jesus proclaims the passage of Isaiah, he left out the second part of the sentence, which had to do with Vengeance!
Because Jesus didn't come to judge the world, he came to save it!
So if Jesus didn't come to judge the world, why are you?
Are you a prophet of the Old Testament, or the New?
The prophets of old did not have the blood of Jesus!
Why are we telling people we need a Saviour when we already have one!
----------------------------------------------------
The prophets didn't know about a Second Coming! They didn't know Jesus was going to come once as a Lamb and once as a Lion!
They thought Jesus was going to come and lay his Kingdom on earth at the very start!
And so very little Pharisees didn't accept Jesus as Saviour because He didn't fulfill ALL the requirements of the Scripture!
----------------------------------------------------
There is a difference between the Last Days and the Last Day!
The Last Days are called great and glorious! The Last Day is great and terrible.
Why terrible! Because its horrible if you're not a believer! You are Judged!
Acts Chapter 2 --> This last day is when the Sun turns dark and the Moon turns to blood!
Did you know that when Jesus died, the Sun turned dark and the Moon turned to blood!
----------------------------------------------------
Jesus was the exact reflection of the Father!
Like the Moon reflects the Sun!
And when the Sun turned dark, the Moon turns to blood! Omg Jesus died in blood.
And when that happened, the start of the Great and Glorious days arrived!
----------------------------------------------------
Mercy is not getting what you deserve. Grace is getting what you don't deserve!
Not only Jesus is not giving you what you deserve, He is giving you what you don't deserve!
Not only is God not punishing you, He is giving you a great reward without you doing anything! How? He hid you in Christ!
Acts 17:30
2 Peter 3:17 -->Day of Judgement!
Jude verse 6--> Judgement of the Great Day
1 John 4:17--> Confidence for the Day of Judgement!
----------------------------------------------------
If you start trying to judge people for what they deserve, you are trying to pull the Judgement Day into the great and glorious days!
And it is said that no mercy is to be given to those who shows no mercy.
And anytime you call for people to be judged, you are transported back to the old country where you're still a fugitive!
New Creation! Old has passed away, new as coming! Next Verse!--> Not counting their trespasses against them. --> Next Verse --> Ministry of reconciliation! --> Not counting their trespasses against them!
What is the Spirit of Elijah! What does Malachi say about it! In the new covenant, restoring the hearts of sons to fathers. Reconciling families!
If you moved the prophets in the old testament to the new testament, they would know they have a new job! From judging kings to reconciling families!
They have a new job description!
----------------------------------------------------
What about Ananias and Saphira! God killed them for lying!
But are we dead for lying, in the church, every day? No!
If you show me repeated instances of this happening, but it was a one off!
If God wants to bring A & S home early because they are polluting the church, sure, He can do what He wants!
But he doesn't need to do it to fulfill judgement! He already settled that!
And look who they were talking to just before they died! Peter, the most famous liar in the Bible!
That's God's sense of humour.
And Peter lied before he was even saved lol. A & S died after they were saved. Big difference.
Haha well
----------------------------------------------------

EASTER GOOD NEWS RALLY FINALE NIGHT :D
EASTER GOOD NEWS RALLY FINALE NIGHT :D
Speaker: Reinhard Bonnke
-------------------------------------------
Yayyy God's anointing is so here tonight. Haha :D
Okay lets here what He has to say! Help me God to take down the important things but at the same time pay enough devoted attention for You to work through me, like Mary, not Martha.
Haha help me sit at Your feet, Jesus (:
-------------------------------------------
Haha there's another dude coming to speak!
Lolololol.
He also works in Africa lol.
2 Cor 6:2 --> Now is the time of something something beholding something lol. NOW IS THE DAY OF YOUR SALVATION! :D
NOW!
Heh (:
Now is the time of salvation! Its like before the world trade centre collapsed and someone went into the building 10 min before and tries to get people to run out! A tragedy is coming!
A tragedy is coming!
Now is like that! God's wrath is coming! Its not very far away! And NOW is the day of your salvation! Quick! Run! Take it!
NOW!
Every second, 2 people pass away into eternity! Since the guy started talking, 200 people have died! :/
And the door of heaven is closed to them.
But not for us! Now is the time of salvation! There is an urgency!
The great evangelist Moody learnt this tragically when he asked people at one rally to come back next week and decide whether they wanted to be saved or not, and The Chicago Fire happened and a lot of people at the rally died before they could give their lives to Jesus! D=
Moody never not gave a call to come to Jesus after any rally after that ):
Luke 9:59
The young man asked to follow Jesus, and said he wanted to bury his father first!
Jesus said "The dead can bury their own dead! You come preach the kingdom of God!"
The guy could never understand that verse! Why was Jesus so impatient! Its perfectly natural to want to bury your dead father!
And The Lord said to this guy one day "What makes you think the young man's father is dead?" The bible never said that!
The key part of that verse is not the dead father! It is the words "But first!"
"But First"
"But First"
Jesus calls us to do things but we always say "But First!"
But first I want to have fun! But first I want to do this! Eat! Play a game! Grow old then give my life to Jesus!
That is a mistake ):
One day there was this girl, popular, beautiful, possessions, popular friends, dream life. But she didn't have Jesus!
She was having too much fun to give her life to Jesus, she wanted to grow old before she did that!
She had a car accident. And she died before the preacher could get to her to lead her to Jesus. She was waiting for him, propped up in the bed, 40-50 friends waiting outside in tears, but she died just before the preacher could get there ):
She was so close, close enough to touch, but so far ):
There is an urgency. There is an urgency to give your life to Jesus. Now. Now. Don't wait. Now ):
------------------------------------------
Yikes.
------------------------------------------
Reinhard comes back!
He could go on forever in the same vein lol.
But Jesus says broad is the way that leads to death, narrow is the way that leads to eternal life!
But heaven is going to be bigger than hell!
He believes that there will be more people in heaven and hell!
It is not possible that the devil will waggle his finger at God in the end and say "God, I have won after all, I have more people in hell than You have in heaven."
It will not happen!
The party is going to be up there, in heaven, and the devil is going to have nothing to celebrate.
Amen (:
When Jesus spoke about the highway of death, He planted his cross in the middle of it!
The cross is the biggest roadblock to death and hell!
Arms outstretched, a barricade! And Jesus stands there, big, arms wide, and we evangelists, all of us, stand at the foot of the cross arms stretched out crying out "Repent, turn back, this is not the way!"
And some do see us, and choose to turn away, and praise God for that, that is our purpose in life (:
Amen, Praise God, Glory to Him (:
------------------------------------------
Luke 19:10 --> "The Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost."
------------------------------------------
In every religion, man seeks God. Sometimes lots of gods!
In the Christian faith, it is not just man seeking God! God is seeking man! God is seeking man!
-->GOD IS SEEKING MAN. <--
And the bible starts with that very truth!!!
------------------------------------------
Genesis --> God just had His seventh day of rest.
While resting, there was a great cry from the garden of Eden! Adam and Eve had fallen into sin.
What did God do? Did He go to His archangel Gabriel and tell him that it was God's day off, He can tell Adam and Eve off tmr?
No! God broke his Sabbath immediately! He arose! He went to the Garden!
Genesis 3:9 --> "Adam, WHERE ARE YOU."
God was seeking man!
Man was not seeking God, in fact, man was hiding!
God is seeking man, he is seeking man even though man is hiding!
------------------------------------------
God surely knew where Adam was. Behind shurb 123532412. Lol.
But Adam was not lost geographically, he was lost spiritually.
But when God found Adam, He did not start yelling and telling him off in wrath.
Not immediately. He dressed Adam. He dressed Adam. He took care of him first.
THAT is our Christian God.
Thank you God (:
------------------------------------------
Reinhard believes that that chapter of Genesis is not focused on Adam and Eve, as many think, but God!
Adam and Eve were deceived. They were lost, the serpent had deceived them!
So they were lost. And someone had lost them!
Reinhard believes the spotlight is on the Person who lost His treasures, Adam and Eve!
------------------------------------------
One day Reinhard and his wife and children were shopping. And they lost their daughter Gabby.
His wife was terrified, crushed.
So was Reinhard.
And finally after 3-4 hours they went to the police station in defeat and desperation.
And there was Gabby happily eating candies brightly saying "hey mommy, hey daddy! :D"
-.-
Learning Point: Gabby didn't even know she was lost! She was happily eating candies to enjoy her state of being lost! -.-
But Reinhard and his wife were terrifed! Crushed! They knew Gabby was lost. And it broke their hearts.
It broke their hearts ):
That is much like how things are today! The biggest loser is God! He lost Adam and Eve! It broke his heart! And many today don't even know they are lost because of the entertainment in their lives!
And they are lost, happily!
But it breaks God's heart.
------------------------------------------
That changes tonight. Tonight God takes His people back. Yeah. Amen (:
------------------------------------------
People always talk about testimonies where they found the Lord.
That is slightly wrong. They never found the Lord, the Lord was never lost!
God found us. We were lost. God came seeking us and found us. And He celebrates each and every one with indescribable joy.
(:
------------------------------------------
Hosea 11:8
Israel was a morally bankrupt nation! They deserved to die! To be destroyed! This is what God said:
How can I give you up, O Ephraim? How can I hand you over, O Israel? How can I make you like Admah? How can I treat you like Zeboiim? My heart recoils within me; my compassion grows warm and tender. (Hosea 11:8)
How can I give you up! I don't know how to give you up! I LOVE YOU. HOW CAN I LET YOU GO. IT PAINS ME TO LET YOU GO.
When Jesus went to cavalry, God never said that. His only Son. The Son He loved. He gave up His only Son. For us that He loves and cannot bear to let go off.
Thank you God, Amen (:
------------------------------------------
Tonight we speak from Old Testament truth (:
Deut 7:7
God says: I love you Israel, not because you are a great nation. In fact, you are the smallest of the nations around. Hmm. I love you Israel. Because I love you. Er. I love you because I love you. Lol.
Tonight God says to us: You have provoked Me with your sinful and unclean life. But I cannot give you up. I love you! I want to take that sin out and put a new heart inside of you. I love you because I love you. Come to me tonight.
Yay (:
------------------------------------------
Jesus said the same thing.
The Son of Man has come to seek and seek and seek, and save and save and save, that which was lost.
He loves us. (:
------------------------------------------
With us Christians, God spreads a table for us. We don't have to work for our faith(:
God spreads a table for us in his heavenly sanctum.
Yeah (:
------------------------------------------
Story of the Prodigal Son:
Some preachers talk about all the sins the son did, with prostitutes and this and that and that and this!
But the Bible never really expounds on that...
But the father was waiting. The father was waiting. Day after day the father was waiting.
That the Bible does say (:
And one day the son came staggering back.
And the father was watching. And watching. And watching the road.
And he saw his son and he ran.
Let me tell you that old men don't like to run very much...
Lol.
But he saw his son take one, two steps, and stopping. And two more steps and stopping. And one step and a stop.
And he thinks: "Why is he stopping and stopping? ): Is he unsure? Is he still thinking? Is he thinking about going back? To live with the pigs? To suffer in the pigsty! TO SUFFER IN THE PIGSTY?"
And when the father realised that, HE RAN TO HIS SON.
"I can't take that risk, I can't let my son go. I am going to take and save and hold him. I'm running."
"Adam, where are you ): "
------------------------------------------
He is like that tonight. For some of us tonight it is our last chance to receive Jesus. Don't let this chance go. Don't let it go.
Let me tell you another story
------------------------------------------
We're on a train in Britain...
And suddenly the train stopped, and a group of men come into the same train-car as the old man who is reading his Bible, who is the main character of the story.
And the young men start mocking the old man. "Old man how can you read that book. Huh. You know what, can you show me what hell is? If you do, I might believe in Jesus. Hahahah sucker."
And the old man said "okay i'll show you"
The young men refused, they thought he was joking.
" No no no, you wanted to know, follow me, come with me"
And they went to the last carriage and the old man said!
"You want to know what hell is like? WELL OPEN THAT DOOR AND JUMP DOWN, AND YOU WILL BE THERE."
Lol.
------------------------------------------
We're not going to ask you to jump into hell tonight.
But you are also one step away from heaven, only one step!
For every one step that you take to Jesus, He runs ten steps to you!
------------------------------------------
And then we pray, and an altar call for salvation is given and hundreds of hundreds go to the front, making the decision to be saved :D
The healing part of the rally happens after this.
Followed by healing testimony time.
AND WE END THE NIGHT WITH PRAISE AND WORSHIP WITH PLANETSHAKERS, FOR GOD.
:D :D :D
Man its been an amazing three days. Hahaahah. Yes.
There we go. Breakfast time or praise time or something. Hahaha. Later (:
Speaker: Reinhard Bonnke
-------------------------------------------
Yayyy God's anointing is so here tonight. Haha :D
Okay lets here what He has to say! Help me God to take down the important things but at the same time pay enough devoted attention for You to work through me, like Mary, not Martha.
Haha help me sit at Your feet, Jesus (:
-------------------------------------------
Haha there's another dude coming to speak!
Lolololol.
He also works in Africa lol.
2 Cor 6:2 --> Now is the time of something something beholding something lol. NOW IS THE DAY OF YOUR SALVATION! :D
NOW!
Heh (:
Now is the time of salvation! Its like before the world trade centre collapsed and someone went into the building 10 min before and tries to get people to run out! A tragedy is coming!
A tragedy is coming!
Now is like that! God's wrath is coming! Its not very far away! And NOW is the day of your salvation! Quick! Run! Take it!
NOW!
Every second, 2 people pass away into eternity! Since the guy started talking, 200 people have died! :/
And the door of heaven is closed to them.
But not for us! Now is the time of salvation! There is an urgency!
The great evangelist Moody learnt this tragically when he asked people at one rally to come back next week and decide whether they wanted to be saved or not, and The Chicago Fire happened and a lot of people at the rally died before they could give their lives to Jesus! D=
Moody never not gave a call to come to Jesus after any rally after that ):
Luke 9:59
The young man asked to follow Jesus, and said he wanted to bury his father first!
Jesus said "The dead can bury their own dead! You come preach the kingdom of God!"
The guy could never understand that verse! Why was Jesus so impatient! Its perfectly natural to want to bury your dead father!
And The Lord said to this guy one day "What makes you think the young man's father is dead?" The bible never said that!
The key part of that verse is not the dead father! It is the words "But first!"
"But First"
"But First"
Jesus calls us to do things but we always say "But First!"
But first I want to have fun! But first I want to do this! Eat! Play a game! Grow old then give my life to Jesus!
That is a mistake ):
One day there was this girl, popular, beautiful, possessions, popular friends, dream life. But she didn't have Jesus!
She was having too much fun to give her life to Jesus, she wanted to grow old before she did that!
She had a car accident. And she died before the preacher could get to her to lead her to Jesus. She was waiting for him, propped up in the bed, 40-50 friends waiting outside in tears, but she died just before the preacher could get there ):
She was so close, close enough to touch, but so far ):
There is an urgency. There is an urgency to give your life to Jesus. Now. Now. Don't wait. Now ):
------------------------------------------
Yikes.
------------------------------------------
Reinhard comes back!
He could go on forever in the same vein lol.
But Jesus says broad is the way that leads to death, narrow is the way that leads to eternal life!
But heaven is going to be bigger than hell!
He believes that there will be more people in heaven and hell!
It is not possible that the devil will waggle his finger at God in the end and say "God, I have won after all, I have more people in hell than You have in heaven."
It will not happen!
The party is going to be up there, in heaven, and the devil is going to have nothing to celebrate.
Amen (:
When Jesus spoke about the highway of death, He planted his cross in the middle of it!
The cross is the biggest roadblock to death and hell!
Arms outstretched, a barricade! And Jesus stands there, big, arms wide, and we evangelists, all of us, stand at the foot of the cross arms stretched out crying out "Repent, turn back, this is not the way!"
And some do see us, and choose to turn away, and praise God for that, that is our purpose in life (:
Amen, Praise God, Glory to Him (:
------------------------------------------
Luke 19:10 --> "The Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost."
------------------------------------------
In every religion, man seeks God. Sometimes lots of gods!
In the Christian faith, it is not just man seeking God! God is seeking man! God is seeking man!
-->GOD IS SEEKING MAN. <--
And the bible starts with that very truth!!!
------------------------------------------
Genesis --> God just had His seventh day of rest.
While resting, there was a great cry from the garden of Eden! Adam and Eve had fallen into sin.
What did God do? Did He go to His archangel Gabriel and tell him that it was God's day off, He can tell Adam and Eve off tmr?

Good News Rally Easter Morning Service Notes:
Speaker: Reinhard Bonnke
Intro:
When Peter and John ran to Jesus tomb, they probably went and analyzed the tomb, and the clothes, and the stone, CSI: Jesus style. It would have been such a pity if they stayed and analyzed and analyzed and analyzed! Like some people do with the Bible these days! They analyze and analyze and analyze! And it gets them not very far.
BUT THEY WENT BACK AND ENCOUNTERED JESUS IN THE UPPER ROOM.
It takes an encounter! And they were brought from the grave to the Upper Room :D
And today we will go together to the Upper Room :D
From Easter to Pentecost! :
Acts 2: 1-4
Pentecost!
Disciples filled with power of Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues and praised God!
POINT NUMBER ONE:
GOD HAS NO FAVORITES. People think that being filled with the Holy Spirit is meant for "really spiritual Christians", and we elevate these leaders, so high that they become dizzy and fall down!
THAT IS NOT THE WAY GOD INTENDS US TO BE.
THERE IS A FLAME FOR EVERY HEAD. Unless you don't have a head, then Jesus doesn't have a flame for you *shrug*
But if you have a head... :D
Summary: That glorious anointing of the Holy Spirit IS NOT GOTTEN BY THE LOTTERY. It is not for a handful of lucky ones!
IT IS FOR YOU BY DIVINE RIGHT
-->IT IS FOR ME <--
POINT NUMBER TWO
EVERY TONGUE OF FIRE WAS MATCHED WITH A TONGUE OF FLESH!
There was a connection! A tongue of fire with a tongue of flesh! Heaven had connected with Earth! The supernatural had connected with the natural!
I pray that this connection happens with each and every one of us today :D
THIS IS LIVING TRUTH OFFERED FROM THE THRONE OF GOD.
WE WILL RECEIVE!
By God's generosity!
POINT NUMBER THREE
Those anointed began to speak in other languages!
It would have been such a pity if they only spoke in Hebrew! The Holy Spirit has only come for the Jews! Hebrew, Hebrew, Hebrew!
BUT THEY BEGUN TO PRAY IN THE LANGUAGES OF THE WORLD.
This is the ultimate truth of the ETHNIC interest of God!
ALL TONGUES, ALL NATIONS, WE WORSHIP JESUS CHRIST
The gospel is FOR ALL! Even Germans and Singaporeans!
We will walk around with a flame on our heads! :D
They prayed in the languages of the world because Jesus had ALREADY given them the Great Commission to go out to the nations!
And some came to Singapore long ago, and Singapore will carry that flame to CHINA AND INDIA AND INDONESIA!
POINT NUMBER FOUR
Pentecost is the incarnation of the Holy Spirit!
On the day of Pentecost, The Holy Spirit wrapped Himself around in the flesh of the 120 people in the upper room!
This means the Holy Spirit only works through HUMAN BEINGS.
So it means He needs us as much as we need Him!
We are earthly residential addresses of the Holy Spirit!
Only Jesus saves! But He invites us, to be part of his equation! We are part of God's plan to defeat the devil here on earth and bring others to heaven!
Judges 6:34 --> the Spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon!! (For victory)
In the Greek translation, it says The Spirit 'wrapped Himself around' Gideon!
-->Wrapped Himself around!! <--
And that will happen to us today :D
- Can a man go to the moon? It is a double answer. If you go as you are, YOU WILL DIE. But if you put yourself in a spacesuit, something which gives you protection and air and your needs, you can go to the moon!
The Holy Spirit is like that!!
You cannot go out and do battle as you are! LET THE HOLY SPIRIT WRAP HIMSELF AROUND YOU. (:
God is the highest power over sorcerers and witch doctors and everything! (:
No matter what they try, and tried to do to us! E.g. Reinhard :D
We are not alone, God is with us :D
POINT NUMBER FIVE
There are Christians who struggle!
Because they say the Holy Spirit is a 'most, holy, holy holy holy, Spirit.'
And I am not holy! I have so many flaws! D= I cannot approach the Holy Spirit...
The truth is this =
If you could make yourself worthy to receive the Holy Spirit, then nobody would need the Holy Spirit!
Ever!
:blink:
Never forget this for the rest of your life!! -->
OUR WEAKNESS DOES NOT REPEL THE HOLY SPIRIT
It -->ATTRACTS<-- the Holy Spirit!!!
:D
Though our flesh is weak!
But when you are washed by the blood of Jesus! The Holy Spirit comes for all of us(:
He comes for the best of us, and the worst of us!
Why does He come for us!
Because we need Him!
We neeed Him!
The Holy Spirit changes us!
Now Reinhard, changed by the Holy Spirit, preaches with emphasis!
The gospel incarnate!!
The gospel is not an alternative! It is an ultimatum!!!
When the Holy Spirit comes, suddenly you stand like a flame of fire (:
Point Number Six:
Let's talk about the Flame of Fire :D
- I decided to stop taking notes at this point and really devote all my attention to listening and letting God move. Some really powerful teaching happened. Haha. But I'm glad I stopped taking notes. We started inviting the Holy Spirit upon us, the flames of fire, and it started to come, the blessed anointing (: And then they broke it up to call for any new convictions of salvations, and man tons of people came up again oO.
Hahahaha. And we worshipped with Beautiful Saviour, and then we left to get lunch (:
