 Okay. Here we go. Very familiar verse, problems three and verse one, right? My son, do not forget my law, but let your heart keep my commands or commandments. Don't forget. So it means remember. And second part of that verse is let your heart keep my commands. So the difference between a superficial agreement with the command saying that, oh, it's good. Yeah, I know everybody should do it. The difference between that and a heart keeping the commandments of God is saying, this is part of me. Okay. I've made it personal. It's part of me. No matter what circumstance, I'm going to pursue this. So that's what it is, right? Let your heart keep my commands. It means let it not be just an emotional thing. Let it not be a temporary thing. Let your heart keep my commands. And then it goes on for length of days and long life and peace they will add to you. A similar thing we see in Psalm 112 also, Psalm 112. And I think that's verse one, where some says, Praise the Lord. Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who delights greatly in his commandments. Who delights greatly in his commandments. We see that in Psalm one also. So the thing is to delight greatly in the commandments of God is to enjoy God's commandments. Not only things that are convenient or things that are comfortable for us that we are agreeing with, but also, you know, maybe you are understanding, we are like, God, I don't understand it right now, but it's coming from you. Right. I know when it's from you, you have a plan, you have a purpose, knowing that you are good, you know, all that is there so I can trust. Right. So the command is this that we are hard will keep the commandments of God. Right. It'll be at a deeper level. Because if it's if it's there in our heart, then we will be unshakable. No, we will not be reasoned out. Because it's gone further than reason. It's become part of our life. It becomes our lifestyle. Right. So let's we can pray the same thing and saying Lord, everything about your law about the law of the spirit of life or everything about your word. Let it be part of my heart. Let my heart take a strong grip of it and let it not be just a casual engaging, you know, with the word of God. Right. So let's pray. Father, we thank you. We thank you for this exhortation. Oh, God, God, when our heart engages with your word, when your word is sown in our hearts, when we keep your word in our hearts, Father God, we see the blessing that one can walk in. And Father God, we thank you for this exhortation and Lord, we pray that if there are certain areas in our lives where we are not fully engaging with your word, maybe because it's difficult for us to understand, maybe because it's because of the season of life that we are in the things that we are going through. Maybe it's because of hurt, disappointment, discouragement, but Lord, knowing that that instruction or the command is from you and knowing that you are good. Lord, we know that we can trust you. And so God, we receive your word, we believe your word, we receive your word, that your word be sown in our hearts, Master. We thank you. We give you all the praise and all the glory in Jesus' matchless name. We pray. Amen. Amen. So we, today, yeah, we are in chapter nine, right, ministering God's word, preparing a message. So we are basically in the final lap, okay, of all our, whatever we are going to be covering. So we're going to look at different kinds of sermons and also mechanics of sermon preparation. And then we'll move to the practical aspect of it where each of us, each of you will start preparing and then presenting sermons and so on. So that's the interesting part of it. Yeah, I mean, you'll have to do it. Yeah. So, yeah, preaching, right? So, okay, so, yeah, so let's start chapter nine, preparing a message, some basic guidelines. So first thing that we see is that God draws out what we put in, okay, what we put in. Like, Probs talks about the fact that the preparation of the heart belongs to man. Okay, so we prepare ourselves, we engage with the word of God and we receive the word of God in our hearts. We, you know, so the word, we intentionally do that. And when it comes to those moments of serving, when it comes to those moments of ministry, the Lord draws it out, right? He draws it out. He illuminates our understanding. He does that in so many ways. Like, for example, if you, if we turn to, let's say, look at Colossians chapter three, right? Colossians three talks about how one needs to have a rich deposit of the word of Christ, right? Colossians three verse 16 says, let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another and so on. You know, it's the overflow of that teaching, admonishing, singing, all that, you know, singing in our hearts to the Lord. All that comes out of an overflow of the word of God, word of Christ says specifically, dwelling richly in our hearts. Okay, so that involves our cooperation. It's our responsibility, right? Well, God will quicken the word to us, but we need to do much more than that, right? We need to study the word. We need to spend time in the word, get acquainted with the word and beautiful things happen. If we would just spend some time just with the word of God, right? We alone with the word of God. I know as a student Bible college students is spending a lot of time, you know, in the Bible in the word and most of it would be in connection with the subjects, right? Either, you know, that's the thing. Okay, this is what it says. So let's quickly turn there, refer there. This is what it is and assess assignments and so on. But what about those times when you can just sit with maybe half a verse, right? Sitting with half, yeah, maybe, and that just blows your way, right? So, you know, and you're not able to go beyond that. You're just spending time just meditating on it, just over and over again, and the Lord is giving insight, the Lord is engaging, drawing, and you're just feeling the presence of God so powerfully, right? So close. So, so those are the things, you know, the simple lessons that that he teaches us when we, the simple revelations that we get. Hey, suddenly the light comes on, on the inside, right? The switch comes out. I say, wow, it makes sense. So these are things that the Lord draws out at those moments appropriate moments. So, so it's important that our walk with the Lord is consistent. You know, nothing can replace that. No Bible college education, no seminary, no doctorate, you know, nothing can replace that walk with the Lord, because that is something that is so precious. The learnings are so enriching. You know, the treasure that God puts in our heart comes with a daily walk with the Lord, right? So, so that's something that that we need to make sure. So intentionally we put in, you know, how do we do that? We saw the word, how do we do that? We study the word, we read the word, study the word, we meditate on the word of God. We'll take time to just dwell in the word of God. And, and then the word of God is so in our hearts, right? Second thing, understanding that if we can ministering the ministering Reema versus the logos, you know, there's a typo there. You're ministering Reema versus logos. Let me just share the screen, sorry. Okay, so what do we mean by that? Logos, Reema, I'm sure you've learned that, right? So what do we mean by that? Logos and Reema and spoken, okay. And logos, yeah, it's so good. Sorry, what logos is that? Never mind, okay. No, yeah, actually the written scriptures, there's another Greek word, you know, which is called Grafe. The scriptures are God breathed, you know, that is Grafe. So, so logos, of course, refers to the word of God. It refers to, you know, utterance again, but it refers to a discourse, maybe, you know, something on a particular topic. But when it comes to Reema, Reema specifically, you know, for a specific purpose, something that is uttered, something that is spoken. You know, it's a lot of similarities. But if we were to understand it, we can say, okay, if you look at the Bible, we see those principles, precepts, instruction commands. A lot of it is there, right? So that's the logos of God. These are God's word, God has spoken this, it is captured, it is there for us, all the precepts, all the principles, right? But the Reema is what God speaks to us at the moment, the Holy Spirit speaks to us or highlights to us at the moment. Okay, so we need to understand that. You know, it's good to know the difference. It's personal, timely for that particular need, for that particular purpose, right? So all that is there. So when we, yeah, written word specific to your situation, yeah, you know, yeah. So the difference is, why should we know the difference? Because both have value in ministry, right? For example, one should know the principles of God, one should know the commands, one should know the precepts. This is what God has said, one should know that. And also, one should know that, oh, this is what God is highlighting at the moment. Like for example, if you look at, let's say, let's look at Ephesians 6, okay? Ephesians 6 talks about the armor of God, right? Ephesians 6 was 11 onwards. But if you go down to verse 17, talks about the word of God, right? And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. So that word used there is Rehman. Okay, so the sword of the Spirit, which means that I'm going to use it in warfare. I'm going to speak it out. I'm going to declare it. I'm going to take it as something personal. It's like a weapon. The Rehman is the weapon. It's so powerful because the Lord quickens it. The Holy Spirit quickens it, gives a revelation. It's a timely word. Now that's the sword of the Spirit. Yeah. Like from what you do, like I was just like, for example, if we are going something and if we quote a scripture, it is called Rehman. Like if we use some scripture, like if we do, your grace is enough for me. If I'm praying and if I'm using the scripture in my prayer, then it is called Rehman. Not necessarily. See, for example, okay, now I just quoted from Ephesians 6. We're just studying it. Now that is something that is, that is there. I'm just saying, teaching and just looking at it saying, okay, this is it. So it's not necessarily a Rehman word. So a Rehman would be something that is timely, that takes care of maybe something that is highlighted, something that is revealed. Now, that's why I'm saying, not necessarily in the sense, we can look at it, like chapter 6 verse 1, children obey your parents and the Lord for this is right. I'm quoting that. And that's not necessarily a Rehman word. It could be, like for you, you know, it's like, hey, that's exactly what I wanted. Spirit of God witnesses to your heart saying, hey, this is what you need. So it could be, but not necessarily. Every time we take a scripture and quote it, need not be a Rehman. And so this Rehman word that we are talking about can be from logos also, can be from the moment from Holy Spirit also. Yeah, so the Rehman is the highlighted, you know, quickened word of God and the one who does the highlighting, the emphasizing and the quickening and the prompting is the Holy Spirit. Yeah, absolutely. Right, right. Yeah, so that would be, yeah, so that would be a word in season. That would be a prophetic utterance. It need not be scripture and verse, chapter and verse, but it's a, it'll be a word of knowledge. It'll be a prophetic word. We can't call it Rehman. Yeah. Okay, that's a good question. I never thought of it that way. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, so the thing is that both have their place, both have their place, both have their value in the sense we need to be instructed in the logos and ministered in the Rehman. For example, like, you know, in church, we are doing a study of Thessalonians. Of course there's nothing. Now we are doing a verse by verse study, you know, background, et cetera. So, and from that, yes, there could be some takeaway, you know, something that is highlighted to us by the Holy Spirit that particular day is that particular moment, which is the Rehman, the revealed word of revelation from that, whatever we are studying from the logos. So, but both have their place, right? We need to, we need to know the logos of God, and we need to be ready to receive the Rehman of the Holy Spirit, right? Yes, yes. Yeah, like simple example would be, okay, the whole thing is, the whole thing is logos and then the verse out of it would be Rehman. But we can't say every time I take a verse and share it, that's the Rehman. Yeah, so how do we know it is when the Holy Spirit quickens it to our hearts? So you have a witness in your spirit, okay, and you share it, and that's a Rehman word to you, which you share. But you share and then it becomes a Rehman word to them, right? And you may not even be aware of it. You may just be sharing, you might be saying that, okay, this is what it is and you're just teaching and you're just moving on, and then but the Holy Spirit witnesses to them and it becomes a Rehman word to them. Exactly, it leaps out, it stands out, which is impressed upon a heart by the Holy Spirit. Yeah, speaks to us, yeah, yeah. Oh, it's in Esod, Esod. Yeah, yeah, and Colossians talks about logos. The word of God dwells in you richly, the Greek word used there is logos. Yeah, sometimes we don't know, we won't know, because just like the word love, you won't know Agape, you won't know if it's Filio, you know, but when we look into the Greek, it helps, yeah. So Esod is actually a good tool to have, yeah. Okay, so third one while we're preparing is, of course, our dependency on the Holy Spirit. See, when do we depend on someone, when we feel that, hey, I need help, you know, I can't do it on my own, I'm lacking in this, right? That is when we say, okay, we take the help of someone and say, I need this. But what if it's an area of strength? What if you're a naturally gifted speaker? What if your knowledge of a particular subject is 101% whatever, right? Will you still depend on the Holy Spirit? Yeah, but it's difficult to depend on the Holy Spirit that time, you know, because your natural ability is kicking in, you know, you're like, okay, I've done this before. It's no big deal, I can actually do it. And you will do it. You will do it in your own strength. You'll make a fantastic presentation, you know, watertight, beautiful with all illustrations, everything. But what would be missing ingredient, which is a very, very important ingredient, is the anointing of the Holy Spirit, right? And the degree to which the whole God would actually want to minister to people, right? The word will bless, definitely, because it's His word. The word will bless people. But the degree to which, or maybe the depth to which, or, you know, whatever the Lord wanted to highlight, that we would miss out because we have not been sensitive, right? So we need to depend on the Holy Spirit. For what? You know, a word in season, right? Psalm 23. Hey, we've read it right from when we were children. What? The word in season could be, you know, slightly different, right? For example, I think we've seen this before. I forget which class. Anyway, Psalm 23. Let's go there. Psalm 23 verse one. Okay. What is my good friend? Where's the TPD? Yeah, I love that version sometimes. It's nice. Okay. The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. Okay. So maybe, you know, you want to, you know, you've been asked to preach on that and you're going and so what is your, you know, your dependency on the Holy Spirit? Because you've shared this so many times, you know about the shepherd, etc. The thing is it can be a word in season for someone because the Holy Spirit knows the needs of the people, the challenges that they are going through, everything he knows. So it can be the word in season. But the Holy Spirit can give us or give the right emphasis. Like that verse, you know, the Lord is my shepherd. There can be several aspects of that verse which can be emphasized. Yes or no? You just tell me, you know, all the things, what are the things, possibilities of emphasis in that verse alone? Okay. You just use the mic. Sorry. Like the word like gives the emphasis of comfort, courage that, okay, God will be taking care of us. He is our shepherd. He will guide us. Okay. So the last part, he's my shepherd. He will take care. Right. Like for example, if you just look at that verse, the Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. In the English, it is like 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 words, 9 words make up that verse. Right. So maybe the Lord wants, the Holy Spirit wants us to emphasize on this aspect, the Lord. Okay. Who's your shepherd? The Lord. Maybe he just wants to highlight that. I read through, the Lord is my shepherd. I shall not dwell. But maybe the Lord is saying, okay, I just want them to know who's your shepherd? The Lord. Who is the Lord? You know, the various names of God. Who is he? What is he capable of? What has, what has, what has he done? Right. The Lord. Or maybe the emphasis is my shepherd. The Lord is his shepherd, her shepherd, whatever. You know, it's so easy to preach also. The Lord is your shepherd. But when it comes to our struggle, our needs, you know, to say, the Lord is my shepherd in my challenges, in my trouble. The Lord is my shepherd. Or the emphasis could be, the Lord is. Right. Which means, not was, not will be present. The Lord is today, here and now, is my shepherd, not so personal. And I shall not want. So you see, so many things that the Holy Spirit can emphasize in just that one verse. Right. So, and it can be a word in season for someone, a word in season for us personally, as we are ministry. Sometimes you, you are sharing and then you realize that, wow, I should take notes. No, this is God is speaking to me now. You know, I wish I could. So you, you realize that the Lord is, you know, spoken to you. So the word in season, the word in season is a word, a right word for that particular, whatever they are going through. Right. It's a quick end word, like we saw the word that is, you know, suddenly it's a revelation. It's an understanding. Everything seems to be suddenly, I've read it so many times, but it's, it's lighting up now it's highlighted. Right. And also it's a prophetic, it could be a prophetic word that scripture itself, or that verse, it's a, it's something prophetic. Right. And the Lord is speaking, the Lord is directing, it's a now word. And like what prophecy does, it brings edification, exhortation and comfort. One contains 14. Right. Maybe there's correction, maybe there's warning, whatever and all that comes. So, so the thing is to depend on the Holy Spirit. Now, the beautiful thing is this, you know, when our heart posture is that Lord, I'm depending on you. No, we don't have to be nervous, worried, stressed out. The thing is our heart posture is Lord, I'm dependent on you. I'm leaning on you God, you speak and I'm just going to be, you know, where the Spirit of the Lord is, there's liberty, freedom. I'm going to be sensitive, but I'm going to be a vessel. I'm going to just minister in the confidence that you've given me. Right. So just go ahead and you do it. Certain times you know, wow, you know, God, you are speaking, you know, this is what you're highlighting. And sometimes you don't even know. You just shared and you've, you know, you've finished and you've gone and, and the things that you shared, maybe it was not even planned or maybe even planned, but you didn't think that it'd be so much of an impact, but it makes an impact. Could be any of these things. Right. Okay. So while preparing for a message, right, depend on the Holy Spirit, study the word of God. Right. So we won't dwell too much on that, but study the word of God for whatever it's, you know, try to find out the background. It always helps. It always gives us a depth of, you know, to share. Right. And because God has given us knowledge, understanding, wisdom, you know, what is stopping us from studying the word. Right. So sometimes we think, okay, maybe if I become, you know, if I'm studying too much of the, the Greek and the Hebrew and all that, you know, it's, it's going to, it's going to mess with my mind. Right. But the thing is, whenever we study, we do it with the help of the Holy Spirit. Right. He's the author. He's with us. We do it with the help of the Holy Spirit saying Holy Spirit, you speak, you lead me, you take me and there's understanding that comes with it. Right. Okay. So what's the next thing? Have a single topic or of a single theme. Okay. Now it's, it's always good to have, you know, I've heard messages where it's like a, it's like a walk in the garden. Okay. So the preaching thing. Okay. Come, come, come, come, everyone. Let's go. So as they're going in the garden, hey, look at that tree. Have you seen the tree? Have you seen these fruits? And they're going further and then looking at the tree, they'll say, oh, that's nice. And after you finish the walk and you come back, people will say that was nice garden. Maybe some part of it they will understand or something's retained, but not, not all of it. Okay. So it's good as a refreshing, inspiring, motivating message. But the thing is to have, you know, if there is a single theme or a topic, it will help the hearer. Okay. It helps the hearer to, to receive. It's the help the hearer to retain it. Okay. And also to recall. Okay. To receive, retain, retain means what? Hold it in. Right. Recall is to again bring it to memory to think about it. Okay. So it always helps. So it can have many sub topics or key points. Always substantiate the key points with scriptural references. Now, why, why do we need to do that? What does substantiate mean? Just highlight, give weightage to, right? Or prove it, prove that, you know, I'm making a, I'm making a statement. Now, if I'm referring it back to the word of God, it has some weightage, right? Because, but it and in context and so on. So it has some weightage meaning, yes, this is true. Yes, it makes sense. Yes, it's scriptural. Right. So it has some weightage. So, and also the fact is that the word of God is what bears fruit. Right. The word of God is what brings transformation. Okay. The word of God is what renews our thinking and brings change and so on. So always, you know, it doesn't mean that you have to shoot people with the verses, you know, just go on shooting verses, you know, just fill the message full of verses, not necessarily that, but then when you draw it back to the word, when you substantiate, you know, saying this is what the word says, there's, there's, there's less margin for error, because as a person who's preparing also, you're not going off, you know, in a tangent, you're basing your message on the word of God. Right. There's less margin for error and then people also, and we know that it's, it's the Lord who confirms the preaching of the word. Okay. He puts his approval. He says, yes, he gives a witness. The Holy Spirit witnesses to people's heart because of the, you know, the word. Right. And he, he gives a confirmation, approval in their heart, witness in their heart. So there is, you know, they're able to receive it. They're able to agree, say, say amen to that. Right. Because of, because it's based on the word. Otherwise it sounds nice, but maybe there's no Holy Spirit witness. You're like, can this be true? There's a question in your mind. Can this be the way it seems, you know, how is it possible? Well, the Lord is, you know, he's coming. I thought the second coming was the rapture, where he's, you know, it's coming again. 1 Thessalonians 4, 2 Thessalonians 1. Hey, but you, when you, I don't know if you had that kind of thing this Sunday, right? You see it in the word and you say, yeah, it is there. Right. And so you're able to receive the truth. Right. Okay. Third thing, make the word applicable. What does that mean? Yeah. Should be able to really apply or practice it or put it to use. Right. See some of the things will be truth, which is just to inform, educate. Right. Like we started studying about the second coming. Okay. Inform, educate the timeline, et cetera. But also it comes with the fact that, okay, I need to be ready. It changes our shifts our perspective about and shifts our priorities. Right. Okay. Certain things are eternal. Certain things are temporary. You know, shifts our focus. Right. So if we ask, ask people who are ministering the word, if we can, you know, make it applicable and say, okay, now, now this is what you heard. Now this is how you can take the word, take this truth and put it to practice in your life. Okay. So the thing is application part, there are different kinds of people in the audience. Right. There could be young people. There could be people who are married. There could be people who are senior. So the application differs. Right. For the team, it will be different for the married person because of the season of life they are in because of the challenges they might face. So it's, it's good to think, Lord, how can I make this applicable relevant to them? And the Lord will give ideas. Right. And then you can, you know, when you make it applicable, they're able to just take it and use it, apply it in their lives. Right. Okay. Stay focused on the main team, main topic or theme. Right. The next thing is about illustrations. What are illustrations? We look at it when we can, when we look at sermon construction, but what are illustrations? You know, what is an illustration actually? Illustration is a picture, something that you illustrate, something that you draw and it's, it's, it shows something, right? Something. Now, when we illustrate a point, it means that you say something, maybe give a story, maybe give an anecdote, something to bring out that point, explain the point a little better. Right. So that's an illustration. So when we are using illustration, it's good. Illustrations actually bring it out, make the point come alive, but we need to use it cautiously because if it's, you know, maybe something that we went through, we are saying, okay, this is how it is. Okay. So let's say purpose in life. Okay. And I'm sharing about that. And I could say something like, you know, this, this is what I was doing. I was working in this company and God called me and so I resigned and I came into full-time ministry. Okay. So I'm, so it's a good thing that I'm illustrating that this is how, you know, God's purpose and everything God's calling is. I'm just demonstrating or illustrating God's calling, but I need to be careful because if I'm saying this, everyone will think that, okay, this is how God calls a person. Like he calls you out of a vocation, something that you're in, maybe in the marketplace, calls you out for ministry and ministry is what, you know, they see you doing and he's saying, okay, this is what it is. So, so I should actually qualify it by saying, hey, this is my experience, right? But God, God calls you differently. God might call you to be in that place also. God might call you to do something else. You know, so I need to qualify that. So that is what we mean by saying use real-life examples cautiously, right? Be careful when you and some of the things that we went through. Maybe it was because of our own choice. Maybe it's because of, you know, we can't attribute that to God. Sometimes we do that, right? I went through this. God made me fall down so that he could teach me so that I could come up victorious. You know, and so we need to be careful using such illustrations. Okay. If you look at 1 Corinthians 2 and verse 5, Paul is very clear. He says, you know, I made it a point to teach you so that your faith, maybe in the power of God and not in the wisdom of man. Is that what he says? 1 Corinthians 2 verse 5, right? What is 4 and 5? It says, in my speech, in my preaching, we're not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. Okay, so, yeah. Okay. Minister at the spiritual level of your audience. You know, try to understand where, what is the level of understanding that they are at? Okay. So, definitely, God would want everybody to go up another level, right? Or go up several levels. And the Lord is using you to minister, to teach, et cetera. Now, to do that, we need to understand what is their level of understanding? What do they understand about, let's say, spiritual gifts? What is their understanding? And start from there. Do they understand about the Holy Spirit? What is the understanding of the Holy Spirit? Right? Like Paul goes and asks, right? In, I think it's Acts chapter 19, where he asks the efficient leaders, one second, just give me a minute. Yeah, Acts chapter 19. Yeah, so he asks, you know, this question, did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed? Okay, so that was his question. So they said to him, I don't know so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit. So it's not a question of deceiving or it's not a question of believing. For them, they did not even know the basic understanding that God, the Holy Spirit, God is Holy Spirit, God is Spirit. That was not there. So Paul had to, obviously, you know, teach them and so on, right? And then about baptism. So minister at the level of your audience. Okay, now this may not be always easy. Like for example, you get invited someplace and you go and you need to, you know, you need to preach there. You may not always be able to find out the background, right? You can, you can have a conversation with the person who invited you, you know, what are you studying these days? How old are they? You can just find out some background information, but sometimes it's not possible, right? So then you can actually start ministering at the level. That always helps because there are no gaps. Okay, there are no gaps. They are able to grasp things and you're able to build from where they are. Okay, so that's always good. Okay, and if you look at the Bible college curriculum also, right? So it starts from ministers, foundations, identity, right? And all that. So these are certain foundations to be laid and then build on other things, right? So that's the thing. Okay, any questions? Anything that you want to share? Yeah, okay. Pasi, you were telling about, like, we should minister at the spiritual level for audience. So, I mean, not everyone is going to be at the same spiritual level. So how do you guys do it? Okay, so yeah, that is true. Like you'll have people of varying spiritual maturity and understanding. But one key thing is to see what journey the church has been on. Okay, if we've been teaching on certain things and at certain levels, we can actually move it up, you know, and take it to another level. But then also at the moment when you're ministering, you realize that the congregation is not with you. They're not with you. And you can easily make it out because you're asking them, you know, yes or amen and they're not in agreement. They're not in sync. There's no response. Then you know that, okay, maybe I'm going too fast or I need to bring it down a little. I need to explain these things, right? So we need to do that. So we can do it at the moment also, you know, when we... And the other thing which makes it a little more complex is, like I think your question was in a congregation, there are different people, different kinds of people. That challenge will always be there. And that's why it's good to keep it simple so that it addresses everybody. Like even the ones who would know, they will also be able to receive. And the ones who do not know, yes. You know, you're making it simple. You're making it understandable for them. So that's something. So like Paul says in church, I use words that are easy to understand because he's talking about being in tongues, but in a gathering so that I can communicate the truth so that they can say an amen to that. They can receive it. So, yeah. So that's the way to do it, right? Yeah. So, sir, it becomes difficult when you're doing a multicultural or a cross-cultural ministry. Like, for example, I realize that like, like some African audiences, like it's not typical of all African nations. I forget. But when you talk to them and you're looking at them, they don't look you in the eye. Okay. So they don't look at you in the eye. Normally when you talk to, so for them, it's like, if it's an elder, if you look at them in the eye, it's like you're challenging the authority. So for them, good manners or the right thing to do to be courteous is to look away. And I think same with another ethnic group also. So I found it very difficult. So I thought they were not following me at all. You know, I'm just preaching. I'm just preaching my heart out. I'm just saying, and I'm looking at them and they just turn away. You know, they're avoiding my eyes. And so then I was like, God, I think I'm not meant for this, this kind of. And then I realized, okay, this is the thing. I think somebody explained that they actually will not look at you in the eye. It's a sign of disrespect in the culture. So things like that. So it becomes even more complex, you know, how do you read it? How do you read the congregation? And then you're doing things online. And you can't see when you're going to see only the DP, right? Online students. Yeah. Okay. Okay. So we'll just look at different types of sermons. What are there and then we'll stop. Yeah. Okay. So, so any other questions apart from what Renshan asked? Point three, we spoke about prophetic words. So, like, is it particularly to, like, in a message, what the point that we're giving can be a prophetic word or is it like the whole message can be a prophetic word? Yeah, it can be both ways. How we know, like, what the message that we're preaching or the message that we are somebody is doing is a prophetic. So, so, you know, if it's spirit inspired and it's bringing edification, exhortation and comfort, right? So maybe some parts of it, like, it can be, it can happen at the moment. It can happen at the moment of, of the ministry that you're, you're preaching and then there is this inspiration. There's inspiration. Maybe about someone in the crowd can be as specific as that, like, you know, like a word of knowledge or it can be like, I need to say this. It's for someone here. You know, maybe it's an encouraging word. Maybe it's something to do with hope. Maybe it's hopelessness, whatever, you know, maybe it's healing, whatever. Or maybe God is showing you something visually that you, so it can happen in the course of the message that you share, right? So it can be a, is that what, that was your question, right? How can, how do I know it's a prophetic? Yeah, how do we know the message that we are preaching or somebody is preaching is a prophetic word? But like, what you're told, like, if it come gives edification, exaltation and comfort to someone, we know. But obviously, sir, like every word from God, every message gives that comfort and speak to us, right? Yeah. So the thing is, like, you know, every word need not be comforting. It can be actually very troubling, right? It can be convicting, it can be troubling, you know, stir up and then so all that can be there. But, you know, we know that prophecy is specifically brings edification, exaltation comfort, simple words of prophecy. And it can also be a foretelling, you know, future aspect also is part of it. It can have warning, etc. But then, you know, when you're ministering, you realize that, okay, Spirit of God is inspiring me to speak it. Okay, it can be at that moment, or it can be at the time of preparation also. You know, the very direction in which he is taking you, right? It can be prophetic. Like, I remember, I think I've shared this with you, Pastor Ashish. I think one Christmas morning, like, he was prepared, he was thinking of what to share, what should I share Christmas morning. Then no message, okay. Yeah, so from the, not stage, you know, those days no stage. So it was from the first row chair to the podium. So it wrote five steps. So there's a direct download of, you know, the message called the Mary Miracle. It's there in Kingdom Builders about that whole chapter about Mary Miracle. So that's a whole message, which is, again, prophetic in nature, right? So, yeah. So it can happen at the moment. It can happen when you're preparing. It can happen one aspect of truth that is, you know, that God wants you to emphasize and something that you didn't prepare, didn't plan to say, but you're saying inspired speaking is prophecy, right? So it can happen. Okay. Okay, I guess we'll stop. We'll stop here. And next class, we'll look at tomorrow, we'll look at the different kinds of types of sermon, just like how we looked at different types of studying the word, like the word study and topical study and so on. We have different types of messages, right? And, yeah. So we look at each of them, right? Okay. Okay, thank you.
