 okay good morning everyone welcome to a new week welcome to a new session let's just begin this time with a word of prayer so one of us please lead us in prayer maybe Prabhakar can you lead us in prayer please yes go ahead yes is Kennedy go ahead thank you for today thank you for the good day as we go on for you to be taught by your servants first Emmanuel the committee before your honor and glory I pray trusting in the mighty name of Jesus Christ amen amen thank you Kennedy all right so before we begin let's just do a quick review of what we did last week last week we looked at something very important that was characteristics of a genuine revival or a genuine visitation of God and so we looked at Matthew chapter 7 and drew principles from the whole thing where Jesus says a good fruit will bear a good tree will bear good fruit a bad tree will bear bad fruit and Jesus goes on to explain that we shall be known by our fruits and so we picked out many characteristics from this whole Matthew chapter 7 the small portion we saw that a revival cannot be manufactured it's not something that is man-made right it is a work of God and we saw that in every revival Jesus is exalted there is there's also sound doctrine there can't be a revival where there is you know wrong teaching or wrong false dogma being taught right because the spirit of the Lord is the only the truth of the word of God will be preached right and so we saw that in a revival always Jesus is exalted not an individual and there's proclamation of sound doctrine another very important aspect we saw was in revival is the unity in the spirit every revival that we saw we saw that there was unity right from the early church every move of God every visitation of God there was unity among the people there was oneness there was no division there was no okay ministers and then lady and no they were all standing on level ground right another characteristic of revival was people were brought to intimacy Christ likeness and there was long lasting fruit right now Jesus says in Matthew 17 20 720 he says therefore you shall be no you shall know them by their fruits a very important characteristic of a true revival or a move of God is there is lasting you know fruit the lives that are being transformed is a lasting impression it's not just a riff of emotions right but there's lasting fruit and we looked at two examples looked at how Nikki Gumbel who founded the Alpha course who started off very small with about a hundred people but he had visited the Toronto revival he came back and all of a sudden in two years about 27,000 I think that's 20 yes 26,700 students started attending the Alpha course and then they began to spread worldwide so what do we see here we see long lasting fruit right Nikki Gumbel went he took part in the Toronto revival when he came back he saw that that spark of revival began to manifest in the place that he is in and we saw that the Alpha course that which is even running now which many people all across the world you know they you know partake in this you know Alpha course and so that is long lasting fruit then we also saw Heidi Baker's ministry how God used this wonderful woman who went to Mozambique started this ministry it was very difficult on her mental physical stress lack of financial support lack of medical facilities and so she went through sicknesses in her own body and then she came back to her hometown to get some you know medical aid and some rest for her body and then she decided I'll go to the Toronto revival and after that she felt a whole new you know a strength in her body strength in her mind the Lord Jesus appeared to her minister to her and then when she went back to Mozambique all of a sudden what was just few people few children that they were supporting they started supporting about 10,000 children a day feeding them all three meals four thousand odd families brought to Christ and 10,000 odd churches and Iris ministry which you know Heidi Baker has operates all across the globe so we saw last week that we as believers shall be known by our fruit and even as we are pursuing revival it doesn't mean that only a revival okay we will know them by their fruit no even in our personal lives you know Jesus very clearly says we ourselves shall be known by our fruit right so it's very important that even as we pursue God even as we you know pray and seek God and as we walk this life that we remember that we need to bear fruit in God's kingdom so we'll pick up from here we'll continue I'm on page 86 so now that we've been looking at all of this let's ask us this question can we have a visitation of God and studying about all this can we have a visitation of God and how is it going to happen we don't know when we don't know where but there are certain things that we have to do right but can we have a visitation of God let's look at this verse first Corinthians chapter 3 and verse 9 it's a powerful verse Paul is writing to the Corinthians and he's telling them something he's telling them listen you have all these gifts you're a wonderful church community in you know very you know popular place in Greece but here's the thing whatever you're doing was first Corinthians 3 9 we for we are God's fellow workers right so even as you know Paul is writing to the Corinthians he's telling them even as you do what you're doing remember that you are God's fellow workers yes Charles oh thank you so much pastor are you you're talking about can we have God's visitation in 2020 being in was in Ghana and during his presentation as she as he preached he says I see revival in 2022 in Uganda and now 2022 is on the doorway so do we have examples of revivals and visitations that had been prophesied and they took place okay yes that's a good question Charles thank you for asking that question right so as far as what we know nobody like really prophesied like if we look at so since we're doing church history if you're asking in terms of church history there was nobody who prophesied and said you know okay the revival is going to come in this place revival is going to come in that place but what we did see and what we did notice was Charles that the believers the pastors or the believers were hungry for God and so all they wanted to do was they wanted to see a move of God right so they went on together got together prayed seek God fasting and all of that but there is no account in church history where somebody prophesied and then as they prophesied it it happened exactly that way so as far as I know there is no you know prophecy that has been you know said that you know this for example the nation of Africa or East Africa is going to see revival in 2020 you know maybe in one year but we don't see it mentioned right it could have happened right it could be that there were plenty of prophecies made and those prophecies may have come true but here's the thing you know for people can we can prophesy we can say all these things but that's why we're coming to this place where we're saying we are fellow workers with God so it's not only about just prophesying about something but it's also about working towards it right if you look at even in our personal lives and we're praying for something maybe somebody prophesies over you for example let me just take this example somebody great man of God comes in prophesies over you saying that you are going to be a you know wonderful worship leader a great worship leader in the next you know maybe five years now when we know that or some you know God somebody has God has spoken through somebody there is something that we have to do for example we got to you know start singing or probably if it's learning an instrument start learning an instrument and so those practical things are there but to answer your question Charles there is no account of people prophesying about revival and the revival happening but there could be but you know I'm not really sure as to I haven't read any account of it so because revival is something which God does in his way in his time right so so not really sure when and how it's going to happen but you're saying that they prophesied for 2022 some one of the things that we have to do is you know the whole nation the leaders could get together and pray for that prophetic word to come into you know existence come to become true in their lives so that's why I said if somebody prophesied and we don't do about anything about it but just wait around it does not work right so it's a part that we all have to play as it answer your question Charles thank you so much pasta okay thank you Charles right so first Corinthians 3 9 for we are God's fellow workers revival is a pure work of God so let's picture this right if we are God's fellow workers right now God desires that he pose out his presence upon his people his glory upon his people and we are called to be God's fellow workers so we get together we say God this is your desire and we are praying for it that you fulfill your desire upon this land God will make it come to pass why because we are God's fellow workers God does not look down upon us and say okay these are human beings who I have created so I will choose to do how I want to do no we are we are fellow workers with God right now the moment we ask God for things that is I mean for example we go out of context and we ask God for things that he you know that's not really needed and all of it then you know we can't say God you are my fellow workers so you have to do this for me no when when God desires a work that he wants to do and when we pray in line with that God will pour out his presence upon us there will be an outpouring right as a people you and I can prepare and pursue for the outpouring of his spirit here's an important thing there is no set formula there is no set rule as to what causes in outpouring right we cannot replicate it we cannot say okay God in the in the first century church this is how you did it so I'm gonna do the same day I'm gonna pray like this or in the second outpouring great awakening this is how you did and so I'm gonna follow it this way so we cannot replicate what God has done in the past right God can use different ways to through different mediums and different people to do his work right let's picture this in Acts chapter 19 Paul is in a second missionary journey he's going about to these wonderful places now mostly in in Greece Athens and Corinth and Asia Minor as well and so he's doing a powerful work there he's you know in the name of Jesus he's been you know praying for the sick healing the poor healing the blind and the deaf and many healings and workings of miracles and here there's this acts 19 the sons of skeva what do they do said hey let us also go and try to you know exercise some demons out of people in the name of Jesus so they go out and what do they do they say in the name of Jesus whom Apostle Paul preaches we command you to get out of this body and the you know the demon overpowers them and the possessed man overpowers them and beats them up now this is a very important thing that we must understand that when we are praying or when we are asking God for an outpouring in our midst it is not a formula right sometimes we say we use formulas in our lives right oh I have to say it like this only then you know God will listen to me no no it's not a formula in the name of Jesus when we pray it's not it's not just you know a formula that we use okay we pray whatever we want to pray and then just ended in Jesus name and that's great now when we pray in Jesus name we are to know the authority that the name of Jesus holds what happened to the sons of skeva they knew the name of Jesus but didn't did not know the authority that that name holds right and so here's the thing an outpouring of God is not a formula if we want to see a move of God in our own lives in our church in our you know in our cities we must know that hey we are serving a powerful God a wonderful God a loving God and we should really know than just it being a formula right so now we'll just look at what are some of the variations meaning how how does God you know send his revival upon his people just a few points here first one the time God chooses right sometimes God can pour out a revival when there's spiritual and moral decline or sometimes God can pour out a revival when there is you know constant prayers going on in the cities and in the nations right so sometimes could be just a deadness so if we see the North American revival remember that you know the layman's revival we also where America was going through a moral decline economic crisis churches were empty and just a few people sat and prayed 12 in the afternoon to one o'clock in the 12 to one just for an hour and we see that when they prayed God began to work in their midst right so sometimes God can pour out a revival when the things are very bad sometimes even God can pour out the outpouring or a revival when people are pursuing after God right now for example when we look at all around us in our nation the nation of India right now we're seeing that there's a steady increase in persecution and what is also happening is that usually these persecutions would happen in towns and villages but now it's coming into the cities right the Karnataka has the government of Karnataka has issued a a bill for anti-conversion and it's coming into the cities it's creeping in into the cities and they may come a time when you know the spiritual fervency may come down or they may come a time when the spiritual fervency may go even more higher than usual and that's when we can expect an outpouring or a move of God right so God chooses how he goes about doing it remember our responsibility is to just keep praying right preparation and waiting is is never a wasted time right when we are praying and preparing and asking God it's not that if we don't see an outpouring oh I have wasted my time I've wasted five years just praying and asking God for revival and I don't see a revival it's not a waste right the more we're praying for it the more we are getting closer to God and always say this to our church folks as well I always say that preparation time is never wasted time waiting time is never wasted time look through the scriptures and we see that God made his people wait Moses waited 40 years Paul waited 17 years David waited 17 years to become the king and so we see that these waiting periods are alright just makes us stronger so don't lose hope when you know we may be praying for an outpouring and we're not seeing it remember it's just a preparation the more we are doing this the more we're going closer to God to the duration of sewing and praying sometimes revival happens in a few months of prayer sometimes it takes years if you remember the Scotland revival mentioned it once how this man Robert Mary McShane he was praying for revival for many years about five to six years in his church there were about 50 or 60 people in his church he's praying for revival nothing's happened five six years it's the church has just become about a hundred people and then he had some sickness and then he had to go on a leave when young man comes WC Burns a young pastor just about 26 years old takes on the church all of a sudden you know thousands of people started coming to this church and he has no idea what's happening right so he didn't call people for fasting and prayer and he didn't call people for you know pray for revival he doesn't he didn't you know he just come to take the position of a pastor in a small church but God decided at the sewing time of that Robert Mary McShane did about seven years the reaping happened when this young man came so the duration of sewing in prayer may vary from from different kinds of revival so God may decide to pour out or do a powerful work in a certain place just with maybe one year of prayer but in another place God may wait for ten years right now is it that God is showing favoritism is it that okay God likes that place more than this place no this is that God decides how he goes about it he knows what's best and how to go about it right so the duration of sewing in prayer and is different from different revivals three now the variation is the place that God chooses sometimes it's a city sometimes it's a town sometimes it's a village sometimes it's a college campuses sometimes God uses old people at times God uses young men lay people God can use anybody right so the layman's revival was just six men praying in the lunch break and remember the revival at Hawaii or hybrid island three old women in their 80s got together and spend time in prayer and God moved in that place and the hybrid island is just a very small place which had about only about 20,000 people living in that town but then we also see revival happening in New York City which had thousands of people so where God pulls out that revival is also up to him God God chooses the place right next one we see that God can use any kind of people we saw that he can use the educated the uneducated the young the old he can use a preacher he can use a woman he can use a young girl he can use a young boy he can use lay people he can use anybody he wants to spark a revival right remember Heidi Baker she was just a young woman she just got married right went to Mozambique but God chose her and God chose her to you know do this wonderful work Amy Carmichael came to India to you know to just help the children orphanages by starting up orphanages God used these young women and then the other side God used older men God used insignificant men uneducated folks was that I think it was Charles Spurgeon who was you know not really well educated God used him and then you got the people who are very well educated God used them as well so remember this God is not a respecter of persons like it's not like God is saying okay show me your BTH certificate and then I will decide if I can pour out your my spirit upon your place we know that God does not do that God is no respecter of persons God looks at our heart he looks at our desires is this true is this genuine prayer are the motives of this prayer genuine right and then he just pours out his but he can use anybody and so we as believers need to be open to that God can use different ways of igniting a spark of revival among people right sometimes it is through collective prayer sometimes it is through preaching sometimes it's just through the singing of songs worship or an individual seeking God so depends on how you know but God chooses that now we maybe maybe God has put in our heart to have times of worship maybe at somebody else God can put in their heart to spend times only reading the word another person God can say okay I want you to pray spend hours in prayer so the spark that ignites this revival is different from different people and so we must be open to that as well and then the outpouring of the Holy Spirit can be different from different revivals we see that in some places there are weeping and mourning some places there are wonders science wonders miracles some places there's rejoicing it could also be a combination of all of them right so basically what we're trying to say is that revival is a sovereign work of God it is it is God's work and since it's God's work and since we are God's fellow workers we have an important part to play we have an important part our part is to prepare and pursue for revival till it comes and maybe we've been praying for five years now let's continue maybe you bring for 10 years now let's just continue right so we prepare and we pursue until it comes now always remember this we are we'll look at that also a little later on we as believers should understand that the more we you know spend time in God's presence the Bible teaches us that he's changing us from glory to glory right now we may be praying God pour out revival pour out and out pouring and let there be a move of God let your presence manifest let the Holy Spirit bring conviction we may be praying this one year two years and sometimes we may lose hope we may get discouraged our faith may get low it is a common thing right but remember that what you have been praying for all these years is not a waste because the more we are in God's presence he's changing us from glory to glory that strength to strength right precept upon precept he is building us up right it's not like oh I you know as I mentioned it's not okay we prayed five years let's move on let's change our prayer points now we can continue we pursue until God moves right so let's look at I'm on page 87 how can a local church community prepare itself to receive steward and release an outpouring now imagine this there's a church in the city suddenly there's an outpouring of God so what must we do we must be prepared and we should not be unprepared we must be prepared let's read Luke chapter 14 28 to 30 was 28 to 30 can one of us please read that Luke 14 verses 28 to 30 for which of you intending to build a tower does not sit down first and count the cost whether he has enough to finish it list after he has laid the foundation and is not able to finish all who see it begin to mock him saying this man began to build and was not able to finish right thank you Anita so this is you know it's it's such a practical saying that what Jesus is speaking imagine if somebody here it's mentioned tower but I think the the other translation also says if you're building a home right so imagine you're building a house right and you say okay I'm going to build a house now now does a person go and say okay I'm going to build a house and so he just begins to build it if he does that he's not well prepared because he's going to start building then he'll realize hey I thought I could finish building this entire house in this certain x amount of money but it looks like I need double the x amount of money to complete this house and now I'll just have to stop the work what does it say that let's was 29 list after he has laid the foundation and is not able to finish all who see it begin to mock at him he's saying hey this guy this person did not plan he did not count the costs right so it's important to you know plan and prepare before you do anything in life right I know maybe some of you have heard of the famous saying uh failing to plan is planning to fail when we don't plan we are preparing ourselves to fail everything needs to be planned right so we're going to look at two key preparation processes in terms of how to receive this revival how to steward it and how to release it right how to release it to different communities and different cities and be a source of revival first one prepare people right in preparing people we ourselves need to walk as an example right we have to walk as an example now we need to put away sin put away worldliness put away childlessness strife and competition all these desires of recognition position all these things we need to put it away and walk as an example if you notice the followers will be just like the leader right so for example if you've got a leader not only in ministry but in any other even in the corporate sector so if you've got a leader who's always fighting and shouting at his you know his team members how do you think the team members are going to be team members oh man I have to go to work this and this person's going to keep shouting at me and and then they would get angry they don't want to work it's just going to be a complete breakdown right but picture you have a team leader or a manager who's like a person who's understanding and he understands he's open and he cares for his team and so the team members are free to go and discuss you know their personal challenges or the work challenges that they have so what's going to happen you see that the atmosphere and the team is like hey I'm going to do my best for this manager right because he is a good person he has been helping me and you know I want to do my best that's the attitude you'll get but what if this other team leader is only shouting and you know always you know walking and saying things and you know not supportive of the team the team members are going to say okay I'll just do my work and go they're not going to pursue to be better in what they're doing right first thing is prepare people right when we see in the Azusa revival classic example of the failure to prepare people William J Seymour when they when he started that small church that burnt out building on Azusa street hundreds of people started coming and then the revival broke out thousands of people started coming he he he did one thing good he had an organization he had an organized team he had leaders and all of that right he had things set in place but he did not prepare them like he had a you know a committee he had pastoral teams and all of those things he had he had an office he had structure but he didn't prepare them for the structure meaning what they were not prepared to take on what was happening in the church now it was the church became a very big church but conflicts arose within the mission disagreements right okay we should not wear necklaces women should not wear necklaces just sign of worldliness that's what happened in the Azusa street revival then we know that that certain area would always see storms and you know snow storms and all of that and so they constructed a snow shelter right and then people started saying oh this is a demonstrating lack of faith and so we see that people started competing with each other theological disagreements over sanctification and all of these things and the entire ministry had a very very very sad ending at the end of William J. Seymour's ministry he had about 12 people in his church now was it his fault or was it God who decided decided I'm going to you know stop this revival I would say that he could have planned and prepared his people he could have taught his team members these this is something that we are as as a church this is what it is he did not prepare his people and so always remember if we are in ministry or even in the workplace prepare your team people right wonderful thing that Moses did was whether knowingly or unknowingly everywhere he went he took you know Joshua with him Joshua mostly it was Joshua sometimes Joshua and Caleb Joshua was always with Moses and so we see that Joshua was well prepared to take on the task that was ahead of him it's not like Joshua saying oh what do I do now I'm not sure what to do Moses has gone without Moses I don't know what's the next step what does he say in Joshua chapter one God speaks and says Joshua just don't be afraid go ahead I'm with you go into the land that I promised you Joshua didn't say can you choose Caleb or can you choose somebody else he knew he was prepared this is very important even Jesus did that wonderful thing where he he prepared his disciples and he had that handful of them Peter James and John he prepared them he said there will come a time he kept saying to them hey they'll come a time when people will mock you people will ridicule you people will beat you and put you into prison and all of these things so you'll be prepared I'm not going to be around right now the disciples were sad right if you if you remember reading through the scriptures in the New Testament you see the disciples were said where are you going can we come along with you but Jesus prepared them he didn't give them a shock treatment saying that oh okay suddenly I'm not there and the disciples don't know no he prepared them for the future he told them hey I'm not going to be around my time is short and when I go you have to take on the ministry ahead and so it's very important to prepare just picture this imagine Jesus did not tell his disciples anything about his death when all of a sudden we're seeing Jesus they're seeing Jesus on the cross and then they're all like oh what do we do now we don't know what to do now it wasn't so right if we see the scripture they were sad they were heartbroken that Jesus wasn't around but we also see that they were prepared for what was ahead right they were prepared for what because they knew that hey we need to take this on further we need to spread this gospel to the different parts of the world be kingdom-minded people right one of the things in apc that we always always stress on quite a few points one of them is being kingdom-minded right not self you know thinking about our ourselves think about our own ministry but being the mindset of being kingdom-minded right it's very important where each of us pastors believers you know one of the things we encourage our church folks is you know if they want to go ahead and you know especially somebody who is new we encourage them if you want to go to you know other churches and see how they are if you feel comfortable go ahead right it's not a competition here even we also tell our church folks if there is any conferences or meetings that are happening within the city other ministries go ahead be part of their meetings if there's like a worship evening or a conference or they got a guest speaker if they want to go let them go right it's not about no you're an apc you have to be an apc oh it's important to be you know uh dedicated to your local church and serve in the local church but there will come times you would want to you know be part of other special programs go ahead being becoming kingdom-minded so we tell our church folks regardless of what we are doing we are all together working and building God's kingdom each one of us plays a role in sewing and reaping and harvesting right we all have a role three when we prepare people we need to prepare them and teach them not only for programs and events but we prepare them to focus on the presence of God right prepare them to focus on God's presence so it's not about okay one day I want to you know become this great leader and teach the word of God in this church or I want to be you know I want to prepare myself and then I know one day I will start leading worship in the church that's not the focus the focus should be God God I want you to build me I want my life to reflect who you are and so God's presence should be the focus and out of that we'll flow these other things like events programs all of that right remember Paul writing to the first to the Thessalonians in first Thessalonians 219 he says this wonderful wonderful thing he says you are our crown and our glory in heaven straight into the believers he's saying you are our crown so if we look at it you know if I was probably a apostle Paul I would say God my crown would be my first missionary journey and then even my second missionary journey because that was a difficult place and another crown is that you know I'm a Pharisee of the Pharisees I know the Old Testament by heart and now the New Testament I put it together and another crown would be all the episodes that I've written another crown would be this and that but what does Paul say you are my crown you're the people when I go to heaven and I see you there that is my crown and it's not about the first missionary journey and second missionary journey and the churches that were started and all that happened to me during the mission it's not about that you the people are my crown right so train people to focus on God's presence and not on programs and agendas right remember this when I joined Bible college my my desire was I never thought I'll continue to you know well be in the ministry I always thought that I was working in the corporate sector I always thought okay I'll study for two years come back join the corporate sector and you know work here and also serve God it was always on my mind right and and so it was my focus was not okay this is what I want to become a pastor I want to do worship leading that was not the focus the focus was I wanted to equip myself so that I can share the gospel with people right and that I can live a holy life live a life that's pleasing to God that was a focus and then out of that focus God opened doors where we continued on in the ministry right next one equip people to be disciples not only to new believers but to everyone equip people to be disciples when we as leaders we have leadership roles given to us we are to equip people one very very important aspect that we point out or impress in people in our church is every believer is a minister right so ministry is not just okay you know this is the name of the ministry no for example if somebody in the church has problem they come to you and they say hey can you pray for me and as you are praying and ministering to them you are doing the ministry right it's it's not okay I need to have a you know this church name and then the ministry name and either documents and all of these things no no no when you and I are praying for each other helping each other teaching the word giving the word of God to people that in itself is ministry so you and I all of us are a minister of God none of us in you know that's what we say in apc none of us can say that we don't you know we don't have anything to do no we all are ministers of God we all whether we are pastors whether we are volunteers whether we are leaders everyone is a minister of God titles all of this don't really matter to us right and so when we equip people we become we go and we become carriers of revival I love what Jesus said rivers of living water shall flow out of you right what's the characteristic of a river it keeps flowing what's the characteristic of a lake lake is always stagnant doesn't you know it doesn't flow God is calling us to be rivers of living water like not lakes we're not called to be stagnant in one place and if you see a stagnant lake what is it that you notice probably smell and unwanted insects and mosquitoes and not a good sight God is calling us to be a river there should be a flow out of us so we must be willing to go out of our comfort zone to release and impart to other people right one of the things we do in apc is we ask the church folks you know pray for us as leaders we are not super super leaders or something where we don't have problems and don't have challenges we all go through those so we tell our church folks there are times after church I go to some of our elders and I say hey uncle auntie can you pray for me just feeling weak or feeling tired I just need your prayers nothing wrong in doing that it's not like okay because I'm the pastor I only should be praying for everyone then everyone should notice no no we are called to minister to each other everyone all of us right be ready to make changes to accommodate the move of God revival can disrupt our schedules right as I mentioned before we have a plan we work it out right and then according to the plan if it goes according to plan that's great there'll be times God can disrupt that plan right it's all right God is moving so we be open and we accommodate and then we prepare leadership teams to step in to go and do anything that is needed and we are not to hold on to positions to titles to roles all of those things don't really matter you know one of the things in apc is we very rarely call each other pastor except for our senior pastor but we don't really do that right we just call them by a name because title the title is not really important right if you notice in the books as well that we have pastor's books there's no pastor there it's just the name and so we don't focus on all of those things those things don't matter oh you didn't call me pastor you didn't call me reverend all those are just secondary that should not cause anything you know they were at a time in age now where if you don't call person pastor or prophet and all of that they get offended that's the truth but that should not be our priority our priority is that we are called to serve people right not to hold on to titles not to hold on to roles and our goal is to have God's presence in our lives also God's presence in the lives of people maybe what we can do is maybe after we finish this session next next week or the week after that I know that Tarun is here in our class Tarun's been in the leadership team and he's done some wonderful wonderful works and he's raised up many leaders before he moved on to Paris so we can hear from him like Dan hearing from you can hear from him how how he raised up leaders and you know just that whole mindset of working as a team so maybe we can you know a few weeks from now we can also open it up and let Tarun share and others also can share have a time of discussion all right so we've come to a close this is close in prayer any questions any thoughts all right so let's close in prayer and then we can
