 All right. Could one of us please lead in prayer? Anybody who is able to? Father, we thank you for this time. Lord, we submit all of us into your mighty presence. Lord, we pray as we learn from your word today. Lord, you speak to us, Lord God. Help us to know you. Help us to know you better. Help all of us to listen to your voice and apply this in our life. God, we pray for us, Nancy. We pray that you would enable her to reveal your word to us for God. Thank you, Lord. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen. Amen, amen. Praise God. So just a follow-up to what we studied in the last two weeks, which is about our deliverance model. One is a one-step model, and the other one is the process model, the 10 steps of Pablo Botari. We've seen how we must speak to the individual, take the spirit, bring the spirit under subjection so that it does not manifest and disrupt the deliverance process, and then, of course, close all open doors. And finally, when we have done that, we evict the demon spirit out of the person. But I just want to take a few moments to continue talking about the post-ministry care after deliverance. So I am sure all of you will agree. It's really important for us to look at the person as a person. So once deliverance is through, it's not like, oh, yeah, you're free now. You just go do your thing. But we've seen in Matthew 12 how the demon spirits, they go, they find seven spirits more wicked than they come back to occupy the same place, which would be the person, the individual that they just left. So please make sure that whenever we have deliverance going on, you think about the person even after praying for them. If at all we have a team that we can connect the person to, maybe you're a busy pastor, you're just praying over people, and then you're done. You're done with that. But in a church setting, it's always possible for us to follow up with that individual. So if we can have some teams, if we can train them up, maybe the extent to which they minister is just to say, OK, have you received the Lord Jesus? Can we pray for you? And once a person receives the Lord Jesus, minister the baptism in the Holy Spirit to that person, maybe that's the level to which the team can help. But that would be really helpful to ensure that this individual is now followed up post-ministry care. We call it that. And ensure that they are born again. That is if they want to accept Christ, we cannot force anybody. So once they accept Christ, filled with the Holy Spirit, then guide them on being connected to a good Bible believing church, also develop personal practices where they study God's word, pray, and all of that. So that way, what happens? They will continue to grow strong. The place is swept clean. Remember, that's what the verse says. So the place is swept clean, but it's also now occupied by the Holy Spirit. And the person is becoming stronger and stronger in their spirit, so the demon spirits cannot come back. So that's the best way in which they can continue to live free from those oppressing demonic spirits. So very, very important, post-ministry care. Deliverance, when we think of deliverance, always think of post-ministry care. So you cannot separate the two. We have to look into post-ministry care in settings like the church setting where it is possible to minister to individuals. So never forget that. Now in some situations, the person may require a greater psychological support or counseling support or maybe in certain situations, there is sinful, addictive behavior on the part of the person. So these are a little more complicated. You know, all believers, your normal believers who are helping you to pray for somebody's salvation and praying for baptism in the Holy Spirit, they may not be able to help in these sort of issues. So it would be helpful either yourself, if you are trained and you know, you can handle something like this, addictive behavior, counseling people with addictive behavior and all, then you step into it. But if you feel like you don't have the capacity to do it, then don't take it on. The best is to refer them to a Christian counselor. Here in APC, we also have a wing called as Chrysalis Life, which is our counseling wing. They help us, they're all trained professional counselors and the plus point is they are believers. They also believe in the work of the Holy Spirit. So it becomes a lot easier because they take time. It might take a couple of sessions or many sessions to minister to a person with addictive behavior and things like that. So deliverance is we must never think of it as I cast out the spirit one step, it's over. And that's not how it works. If we really care for the person to continue living free, then it's going to take extra effort on the part of the person ministering. Either you do all the post ministry care. If you feel that you lack the capacity, because you need technical or experiential sort of capacity, then you send the person to somebody who can help, but ensure that these things are done. Only then it makes sense having cast out the demon spirits. So let me just pause and give you a few moments if there's anything you want to share or ask. So once that is done, the next few sections are fairly easy for us. I'll probably just go over it quickly and who knows, we might just finish our classes today itself. So yeah, anything about casting out demons, ministering deliverance? Okay, if you're here, well and good. Let's move on to the next chapter here, which is chapter 14. This is about exercising authority over territories and legions. So as part of spiritual warfare, we talked about ground level warfare till now. And I told us it's more to do with individuals and at a personal level. Now we're talking about spiritual warfare for territories and regions. So again, whatever we have learned about authority, right? It applies at any extent because the Lord Jesus has won over Satan on the cross once for all. And that gives us dominion, authority, power, which we can use against the enemy no matter which level he is coming against us. So we are already victorious. Even if it is a spiritual warfare for territories, we are up for it. And we have been sent by the Lord Jesus to take the gospel into all the world and to make disciples. So as his body, we walk with the authority of who, the head. So if my head has authority, obviously my body has authority because it is attached to the head. So the same way, the Lord Jesus, he says before he says, okay, go into all the world, make disciples in Matthew 28. He says, all authority on heaven and earth, it has been given to me. So if all authority has been given to Jesus, has it been given to the body of Christ? Has it been given to you and me who are part of the body of Christ? Very much so. And so we can exercise this authority over territories. So when it comes to spiritual warfare, when it comes to taking over territories, what are some of the ways in which, practical ways in which we can impact regions. Now, when I say regions, it could mean a certain region that involves a couple of countries or it could mean a country by itself. It could also mean a state or cities, villages, a group of villages. So any region, take any region for that matter, we can impact it for the gospel sake. So always, one of the things that we have to remember is, when we talk about, we'll start using the term transformation, transformation of the region. It is more of a spiritual matter than a physical matter. Now, we must not confuse this with invading regions and making them Christian. That's not at all what we're talking about. What we're talking about is, in a spiritual sense, as the Lord Jesus said, we need to pray that kingdom come. So which kingdom are we talking about? We are talking about the kingdom of heaven coming into the kingdom of the earth. So in nations, for example, when the kingdom of heaven comes in, the standards of the kingdom of this world will change. So let's say in a given nation, there is corruption, there is disorder, there are crimes, there are, you know, there's a lot of disrespect towards the weaker sections of the society. What happens when the kingdom of God comes? There is transformation into the standards of the kingdom of God, which are what? Justice, righteousness, peace, you know? So that is the transformation that we are talking about. So, you know, it's very clear-cut. We're talking about the spiritual transformation and for such a transformation to take place at the level of large populations. Now, how do we impart such a transformation in individuals? Preach the gospel, disciple people, okay? How do we disciple people? We disciple them according to the word, according to the work of the spirit and as that is going on, you know, here are lives of individuals that are transforming into what God wants them to do. So they start living a transformed life. Now, if this has to be done for an entire nation, what is it going to take? How can you have, you know, millions of people in a particular, and even billions, right? India, 1.2 billion people, how can there be a spiritual transformation of this sort, you know, that takes place? So for a spiritual transformation, we always begin with prayer. You always begin with that spiritual warfare, okay? So that's how it starts off. Now, we're gonna look at, let's come down a little bit to the city level and, you know, begin to talk from there and maybe that can be taken up even at the state level, national level, or whichever level. Okay, so let's start from the city level and see what are some practical things. Now, we've understood that it's a spiritual matter above all, no matter what else we do in practical ways, what activities we do in the city. Mainly it is a spiritual matter, okay? So we will have to engage in prayer and a spiritual warfare. So coming to city transformation now, how can we see the lives of many people in the city transform in a given period of time? How can that happen? For that, the first thing is that for city transformation to take place, we have to have every believer in the city transformed. Now, you tell me, how can we have the church? I'm just using the term the church. I know there are many local churches, but the term church I'm using as the representative, you know, the representation of all the body of Christ in that city or let's say the city-wide church, the city-wide church, if believers are weak, they themselves are not transformed by God's word. How can we see city transformation? So the first step is the transformation of every believer. So for the transformation of every believer, what is required? Each believer needs to be equipped, empowered, God's word reaching the believers. So you see, that's why if you look at APC and even our website, you can go and have a nice look at it. There are lots of resources and these resources are not just for people who are part of APC as a local church. Anybody can use it because we are all the body of Christ. Those who believe in the Lord Jesus, those who are saved, you are citizens of the kingdom of God, then yes, you know, you're the body of Christ and whatever resources we have, let that be used to equip, let that be used to empower every believer and when believers are empowered, what tends to happen, they become stronger, right? In the things of God, they become stronger in the work of the spirit and that's where the transformation will start. So without a strong local body, without a strong city-wide church, without individual strong believers, it's very hard to think of taking over a city in the spiritual sense. So that is the first thing that we need to focus on. The second one, the city transformation, it is going to be a strategic, it's going to be a combined effort of strategic movement that is planned and executed with divine wisdom and the leading of the spirit. So you see, sometimes what happens is we pray and then we say, okay, now that we have been praying, God will do it, you know, it is going to be a sovereign move of God. I don't know if you all have heard that term, sovereign move of God. By that, it is like one of those revivals, like the Welsh revival, we've talked about it. So there was Evan Roberts who was praying and then the spirit of God fell upon the people and you know, hundreds and thousands of people started gathering in meetings and they started repenting of their sins. So something sovereign, like a move of the spirit took place in those times. Can that happen today? Yes, it can happen. So we look forward for a sovereign work of God. However, we can also be strategic and have plans for city transformation. So by that, we mean, you know, how can we go about transforming, let's say the lives of youth? Maybe youth are engaged in addictive behavior. They lack purpose in their lives. They have experienced different pleasures and they feel that there's no hope, even though the world offers you all these pleasures, there's no substances in it. So they're going through all this crisis, identity crisis and also a sense of discouragement by looking at the condition around them. So how can we touch the lives of young people? For us who are looking for city transformation, we'll have to be strategic. So there can be certain things that we do to impact the lives of young people. I'm just saying randomly, I'm just giving you some examples, maybe. But we can have a program that speaks of the purpose for life. And we take this program to schools and colleges, no matter whichever school, college is open, great. We can actually take this to schools and colleges. So what's happening? We are there to tell the children or the students there that God has created you for a purpose. But don't be discouraged. God has a plan for your life. There is a hope. You can work hard. And we could also impart many principles of God's word which will help them, things like integrity, hard work, good habits, health, taking care of your health. So many things that we can actually teach the young people what is happening. Yes, can God move? Can a revival come? Very much. But we are also doing our part to transform the lives of young people for the better through our planned strategic efforts. So it's just a small example. Now there can be many such strategic things that the body of Christ involves in that can actually address the problem issues in a given city. Maybe there is an issue of corruption. Now what if the whole city-wide church stands firm in leading a life of integrity? Okay, so the city will be thrilled to see, oh wow, anyone who says they are a believer in Jesus is not taking a bribe. They are paying their taxes. They are doing things right. Their accounts are clean. What's going on? So by being very strategic, right? And what we do, we can impact the city-wide church. So mainly strategic applies more to programs and things like that. More than just having the right lifestyle. So you could think of things like that where certain programs are implemented and that begins to affect people's lives. So one I said is we want the city to be transformed. Then believers' lives have to be transformed. Second is we need to have some strategic plans. Then those plans implemented with divine wisdom. See one thing is to have a plan. It's a totally different thing to do that plan. We can have a beautiful plan. We can sit on the shelf and make no difference. But we need both. We need a plan and that needs to be worked out as well. So this way we can impact our city. Third one is that we need to leverage our spiritual resources because it's a spiritual effort. So we want to leverage our spiritual resources. By that we simply mean learning God's word and applying it. So things about spiritual warfare. As we learn different things, okay, we must pray. How, what if the city comes together, everyone comes together and you have times of prayer. I know that in the last prayer and intercession course we had discussed about places in South America where they've had a great move of God taking place when the city-wide church gathered together and they had all night prayers in stadiums. They saw the condition changing. There was a lot of corruption, drug trafficking, murders, things like that. But all that came down once the church started praying together. They started making the spiritual effort, as you call it, in impacting the city. So we really need to leverage our spiritual resources and also implement whatever we learn through that. So coming to strategies, I told you, more about planning and doing something. So how do we strategize and make an impact in the city? Now, why are we, first of all, why are we talking about transforming the city? See, if going back to Genesis one, if God created us, he created us for what? To have dominion, to have authority, subdued, right? You bring the rule and reign of God on the earth. That is God's desire for every human being who has been created to bring his rule and reign. We are representatives of God. And that is why, while we live in the world and we know that the world is tainted by sin, it is our responsibility to bring the spiritual kingdom of God in our midst. And we are here to demonstrate the dominion of this kingdom. And that is why we have a mandate for city transformation. We can't just say that, okay, at a personal level, I'm binding every demon that is affecting me. I'm binding every demon that is affecting my family. We are happy. We are prosperous. We go to church. We have our spiritual activities. Happy life, okay? That's it. Let the city around what we are called to, we are called to be that seed where God has planted us that we have to bring transformation to the world around us. That's why salt and light. Yes, you may be just, what do you say? A trace of salt or just a little bit of a light somewhere, but then through you, God is bringing that change in the world around you. And so we have to live a life that is going to transform the world around us. So coming to strategy, strategy for city transformation. So how do we do this? Let's see what we can pick up from the Bible. You know, the Bible teaches us to represent the kingdom. As I told us just now, Matthew 5 verses 13 through 16, if you read that, we are told you are the salt of the earth. You are the light of the world. So we are representatives of the kingdom of God in this world, okay? So we must never forget that. We might think that I will just live my life however I want, but it is not benefiting the kingdom of God in any way. And it is not impacting, touching the lives of the people around us. We all have the great commission where we have to bring people to the kingdom of light. So how are we gonna do that if we ourselves don't live out this life that the Bible talks about? So all of us are salt and light and we are supposed to live the gospel. When we study about the kingdom of God, Jesus used parables to describe the kingdom. He mentioned the kingdom is initially a very small thing. So in Matthew 13 verse 33, he talks about the leaven, a little bit of leaven, what does leaven do? Leaven is like the, it is the yeast which we use in bread making. When you put a little bit of yeast, then you'll have the dough rise and then it is perfect to be baked. For us Indians here, we are more familiar with things like dosa. So you put something that goes into the baking soda and things like that. You put it into the batch and what happens? It works through the batch and makes it, it's perfect version. So the yeast initially when you put it, how much do we use? We use very little of it. But finally when you are cooking that bread up, it has worked through the entire batch. Now the same thing is applicable for a child of God or the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God and the principles of the kingdom may seem small. They may seem, the culture of the kingdom might seem very insignificant. However, when we apply it, you can actually see the impact of that culture everywhere. I still remember, I mean, there are many examples I can give you, but I'm just, suddenly that came to my mind. So I'll just share that there was a campaign which was, I heard of this through a friend of mine. They started a campaign in a church, okay? And this was started for women and it's called dark is beautiful because apparently some women in that church, they recognized that there was a lot of discrimination that was taking place because of the skin tone of women. And so culturally some of the women were oppressed in their minds thinking, oh, I don't have a fair skin tone. So I'm not beautiful and things like that. So one church and some women in the church, they started this whole campaign called as dark is beautiful. And I remember at one point, people heard of that campaign and it just picked up, it just picked up to a point where schools and colleges were calling these people to come and do sessions about what is the real meaning of beauty? Is it, that beauty is not skin deep. It's way more than that. So yeah, so then that happened. And at one point, this thing about dark is beautiful, it was on the news. So I heard the person from that particular church answering news anchors on why this was started and how this is making an impact in the lives of young girls in schools who are now taught that it's not about your skin color but it's more about the person that you are. So it's a small example, small example of a biblical truth because what do we learn in scripture? We are all made in the image of God and our beauty comes from that. It's not necessarily the external but you see when there is a principle from God's word, this is about identity. But it could be as I've been saying about financial integrity. It could be about a truth. We have a lot of research that goes on, scientific papers that are written. Hopefully everything is being done with integrity. So the principles of God's word bring forth righteousness and we as God's people, wherever we are, not just inside the church but outside the church, we can impact culture. I might be that one leaven in my culture, in my college but what happens is through me, it begins to affect the entire culture. If I walk with holiness, maybe in my college, everyone's doing their own thing but as believers, maybe there are two or three believers, they are standing up for the right things. They don't engage in unholy activities. So what happens? The culture starts getting affected. You're not saying anything but you're literally opposing the culture. So it's like Daniels rising up, daring to be different and that leaven begins to impact. So see the point is as believers, we are talking so much about city transformation but unless I live the gospel and that can affect a change in my community, my society or wherever, where I am, how can I expect what I am living to affect a city or a nation? So living the gospel out for every believer imagine every believer is simply being salt and light where God told them to be. What an impact it'll have because the kingdom of God, you start small, it's leaven but it works through the entire batch and it will affect. So we have to live the gospel where ever God has positioned us. I can just go on about this but I'm trying not to. How about music? There's so much in the field of music. All kinds of lyrics is being sung. What if people start writing in the secular world? Good lyrics, lyrics that will build up the identity of young people. Release songs like that, it's gonna affect culture. So we live out the gospel. We begin to affect culture in this way and the Bible very clearly it says that we are supposed to be the good seeds. The children of God are the good seeds that have been planted in the world. There are tears, the enemy comes and he plants his people and there will be persecution from the opposers of the kingdom of God and all of that. But then if we continue to be the good seed and the representatives of the kingdom surely it will bring about a transformation in the city. And every believer being like this, it'll just be all the small lights. Have you seen those concerts where they hold up mobile phones with the small light on their phone? But when all of them do it, there's so much of light because all the light comes together to make this whole bright impacting light and the same is true about the lives of believers. It could be different areas we are addressing, different things that we are contending towards but we are making an impact. So we have to live that gospel. The Bible calls us as the people who have the armor of light. So we have to put it on the armor of light, armor of righteousness and shine the gospel for the kingdom. And again, there's so many things you can just go back to history and look at times where social reformation has come as a result of believing in the gospel. It was one individual, a group of individuals believing in the gospel who spoke up against slavery, believing in the gospel who spoke up against some sort of an injustice. So it'll make a difference. As long as we are living the gospel, it will make a difference. Then the next thing for city transformation, you know what is a strategy stuck? There are so many believers, including myself, where when I was in college, it was easy for me to live a righteous life in front of my friends. The only thing was that I didn't want to, you know, sometimes, not always, I have shared the gospel many times, but sometimes I would hesitate. I'd be like, oh, these people will not listen or I will be embarrassed. Let me not share about Jesus with so and so. So sharing the gospel is where believers hold back. Now why is it important? Romans 1 verses 14 through 16, Paul writes that, hey, this is the wisdom of God. This is the wisdom of God, which saves the Jews, the Greeks, what the gospel? It is the power of God unto salvation. So if I don't share the gospel, then I will not be giving a person an opportunity to respond to the gospel. So as much as it is important for us to live the gospel, we also have to share the gospel because that is the power of God unto salvation. And it's when people respond to the gospel that you would see many, many souls coming into the kingdom. Just recently, about two weeks ago, I think I met this one lady. She is from a certain Orthodox background. I don't want to name the religion, but she came to Christ many years, about 10 years ago, and now she's a pastor with her husband. So I asked her, I asked her, hey, how did this happen? How did you leave your previous traditions and why did you choose to follow Jesus? And she told me, see, I was in a crisis. I was having my delivery and I was told that my child is not going to make it. And so there were a lot of those issues. And at that time we were crying out to different gods and I really was so desperate. And at that time, her husband apparently, he found a number of some Christian call and we will pray that kind of a number. He found that and he just called because he was so desperate. And those people prayed for his wife who was now in undergoing delivery. And after prayer, the person on the call shared the gospel with this man and said, so what do you think? Do you accept Jesus? He just said, yes. It was just one phone call, one prayer, shared the gospel. Would you like to accept Jesus died for your sins? He loves you. Your sins can be forgiven. If you repent, accept the Lord Jesus Christ and he will transform your life. You will become a child of God. Basically, shared the gospel. Jesus is the Son of God. He came to die for you. What do you think? Almost immediately he said, yes. And he went to his wife who was still going through her labor pains and told her, look, everything is going to be okay. I just prayed, somebody prayed with me and they also told me about Jesus. And from now, I believe in Jesus. He told his wife and he asked her, do you believe in Jesus? She just said, yes. So you see, and I was listening to this testimony and I asked her, are you serious? Was it that simple? Somebody told you the gospel and they asked you whether you believe in Jesus and you said, yes. She said, yeah. Till that day, nobody told us. That day, somebody told us, we came to know and we put our trust in Jesus. There's no turning back. And today we are pastors, okay? So I was amazed. I felt like, sometimes we are the ones who complicate it and we think people will not be ready to accept or they will have issues if we share the gospel with them. But not necessarily. You see, it is our responsibility to share the gospel because that is the power of God unto salvation. And therefore, we have to be ready. Imagine a city in which we don't share the gospel. We just live a very righteous life and people look at us and say, oh, these are followers of Jesus, wonderful. And that's it. But where is the invitation for people to come into the kingdom of God? So we have to share the gospel, okay? Share the gospel and let people make their own decision. So how do we share? We can go where people go. So again, strategic, right? So we can think of strategic ways in which the gospel can be shared. I know recently there are, there are, you know, how many of you were part of that power to change campaign? That was something unique, something different, city-wide where all the churches were gathered together and they went and ministered to many, many people at the same time. So you see, these are all strategic ways in which the gospel can be shared or it can be taken to institutions, right? It could be taken to institutions and you can share it there. I know of people who have spoken in some official meetings where they were invited, pastors were invited to come and share the gospel. So we can be strategic, right? And these days you have media, the use of media. So there are apps, unique apps, short films, many ways in which we can do it. You know, there are websites that people use. So given the freedom in a particular nation or a city, no, we don't have to break any laws. We can uphold the constitution, right? We can follow the law of the land, respect it, honor it and at the same time, we can share the gospel, okay? So it is possible and we'll really have to pray and think and ask God, you know, God, you show us what is the strategic way in which we can share the gospel, maybe you can share it with tens of thousands of people at the same time if it is a strategic plan. That's why we use the term strategic, okay? So sharing the gospel is so very important for city transformation and demonstrate the gospel. Demonstrate the gospel. How do we demonstrate the gospel? You see, Jesus, we read in Matthew 14, 14, that, you know, he, when he looked at the people, he had compassion for the people and he healed the people. So when I look at the hurting world around me, God's power is what they need. Every time I talk to different people, you know, we used to have that Zoom call after church service, people will connect, some of them, you know, who are not believers, but they connect on the call because they are going through a desperate time. I've met people, you know, just in general, in church and elsewhere who say, please pray for me. I am going through a challenging time. I am in a financial crisis. Somebody is sick in my family. I am sick or I don't have a job or I'm going through a divorce. You see, people are going through all kinds of challenges out there. How would Jesus respond? You know, if he heard that somebody is in pain. Matthew 14, 14, he saw them. He had great compassion on them and he healed them. So he intervened in their situation by releasing the power of God. And so today, as his representatives, when we hear things like this, immediately just pray and say, Holy Spirit, you know, minister to them, you know, release a miracle in their lives. Let them, you know, get a job. Lord, you bring peace in their family. Lord, you heal their bodies. So demonstrating the gospel is to be moved with compassion and see the power of God released into people's lives. So, you know, we can follow the same model of Jesus and see the supernatural works of God being manifested. Jesus said that, isn't it? You shall do greater works than these. So we are called to move in the supernatural power of God. So wouldn't it be wonderful if all believers, you know, we pray and miracles start happening in people's lives. We share the gospel and, you know, people's lives are transformed. So that is what the believers should be doing, okay? So we said, live the gospel, share the gospel, but also demonstrate the gospel. Just go ahead, pray for somebody. Now, I'm always overjoyed in church when some of our church folk, you know, they come up and say that I prayed for so and so, they couldn't walk, but now they're walking, okay? And I remember very early on, one of our families in North church, their daughter was so tiny at that time and she had fractured her leg and they were coming to church. So I'd gone to visit them in their home. So I asked that little girl at that time, so what did you do? Because you have a fracture now, what did you do? She immediately told me, pastor, I took my hand and I put it on my leg and I prayed in Jesus' name and I asked Jesus to heal my leg. And I was so happy. This was, she's so little. I don't remember which class she was in, but I was so happy that, oh my goodness, you see, they understand that God's power can intervene in the situation that they are in. So every believer like that, imagine a little child has understood, God's power is real, God's power can heal me, okay? And if every believer, we say believer, do we really believe and do we really go ahead and pray for people and trust that, okay, I will see God's power working in the lives of people, maybe colleagues, classmates, neighbors, anyone, anyone who comes into contact with us, maybe we just quickly met somebody at the airport or in the train station or in the bus, but we share and there is an opportunity, we share and we say, okay, brother, can I pray for you? Can I, you know, that Jesus heals, He delivers, He can do a miracle in your situation. Take authority. So why have we learned about spiritual authority? Because we can use it and we can see the power of God. So when you see Satan is doing an oppressive work, he's bringing sickness on people, he's working in other ways, don't worry, take authority and say, I am gonna pray for you, okay? And you will see God working in your life and in that manner, what's happening, you know, the power of God is beginning to impact lives and how beautiful, how beautiful that is. Till today, let me tell you, there are some people that, you know, I continue to minister to, they still don't believe. Till now they've never opened their mouth and said that I believe in Jesus, but when there is a need, you know, they'll always say, Pastor, can you pray? Are they born again? You know, I don't know, but they never really said that I am born again or I accept Christ. But they said, pray. Why? Because they have seen the power of God in their situation, but I believe it's like a seed, you know? They are seeing God's glory and they cannot deny it. That it is real, God's power is real and I'm trusting that they will accept Christ because, you know, he's a living God. So, okay, let's just stop here, class. I think there's one more point to go in talking about the exercise of authority and then we will move on to, yeah, the last chapter here. We should be able to complete it in the next one hour. Okay, so 10 minutes break everybody and we shall be back at 11 o'clock. Thank you.
