 Okay. Good morning everyone. How are you doing? Doing good. Okay. Good to know that. Hope you were able to submit your assignment. The heads are shaking so that's good to know. Fine. So we'll pray and we'll continue with our topics here. Which one? Somebody's under the eye. Okay. Now it's okay. Thank you Father. Thank you Father. Thank you for this day. It was a real life. Thank you for this presence. And I'm sorry for your hands. With each individual and especially sorry for hands, hands in them. Please guide them. Please take my spirit, my God. You talk with us, throw a man's mouth. Give your knowledge. I stand for hands with us. Give your patience, give your concentration, give your understanding, power, Holy Spirit, name of the Lord. And give your memory, powers. How can we store as your words and how can I apply it in our daily lives. And each of you time you handle with us Holy Spirit, name of God. I'm asking the name of Jesus. Amen. Thank you Savita. So today before we enter into the class into what we have for discussion, I just wanted to ask us, we are talking about faith and growing in faith. So is there any particular incident in your own life as you've joined Bible college about two, two and a half months now? Almost three months. Almost three months. So have you seen any growth in your faith regarding something, something particular, any such experience, testimony? So we can start with that, both for online as well as on campus students. So you can just share about how, you know, your journey of faith has been. Do you feel like there is any difference? If so, what is that difference? Sister, I have something to say. Yes. Yes, sister, get your place. Go ahead. Yes, since I started learning about faith and prayer and worship and Holy Spirit, all the subjects in the, I want to say that, you know, my family is not saved, most of them. And I used to pray every day, like, you know, every day without fail, I pray, but yesterday when I was praying, you know, the Holy Spirit gave me a, like, a strong utterance to pray to remove the demonic presence from the family, you know, and this is why I felt first time that when I prayed yesterday, something will happen in my family and I believe that my children and my husband will all come to the Lord. Yes, sister, that's all. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, sister. Good to know that you're seeing some changes in your family and you've been praying for them for so long. So we agree with you for them to come to the Lord and their lives to be touched. Yeah, thank you, sister. Thank you, sister Gatrud. Yeah, anyone else? Anything in your own faith journey? I'm sure there are some changes. So even if it is simple, you can just share. Back to Nancy and Dr. Anusha. Yes, yes, yes, Anusha, go ahead. Yeah, it's like I can see the changes in my life, like very evidently, how my faith changed, how God is leading me and because I'm the only one who saved in my family. In 2018, I got saved. I was praying actually for the family got saved. My mom got saved recently. And for the family, I'm praying still for my dad and my sister's family, but the faith before like I'm accepting the things even though they are religious like Hindus. But now openly saying about God, about the things, how God looks things, how is God and it's all changed in this two months only. Praise God. Thank you, Anusha. So again, I think more of a journey of becoming stronger in your faith and boldness, right? To share. Yeah. All right. Thank you so much. Anything else, any other area of your lives where you feel your faith has developed? Okay, we have a comment here by Akhil. He says, though faith is something we hear often in sermons, Sunday after Sunday, there is an enhanced depth view of faith and how best we can exercise the same in day to day life, be it miniscule activities or something larger than life. These classes Monday to Friday have been a blessing and everyday prayer life is more effective. And the challenges that I go through despite what it is now, there is immense peace all will work well in time to come. Okay. Time to me. Okay. Thank you so much. Thank you Akhil for sharing your views. It's really good to know because that's what we've been talking about. The more you hear the word of God, faith is built up, right? So definitely our faith is going from strength to strength, glory to glory, but we need to work on it. And there are many ways in which we can actually work on our faith to increase it. So faith does not have to be what it was when we became a believer. Usually when we become a believer, there is sort of a measure of faith. We talked about it. God gives everyone a measure of faith. So what measure that is, we don't know, but one level or one measure of faith is given to all of us. But we can go from that measure to an increase measure. You remember we said our faith grows exceedingly, right? So it can be made to increase. So at every given point in life, we should be greater in our faith than what we were last year. You got it or maybe last month. What my faith was, I need to be in another place where my faith is greater. So how to actually make this faith grow or how to develop this faith. So it's there in our chapter 16 here, how to exercise faith, but I want to have it more like a conversation or a discussion. So how to exercise the faith, how to increase the faith, some key, key thoughts. How do you do it? Sorry, prayer. Okay. Through prayer, of course, through prayer, it increases through word of God. Yeah, word of God, it increases. So we've seen all these points earlier, right? So through prayer, we know that Jesus said whatever you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them. So there is a association, prayer and faith, you believe and you ask and those things are done for us. Even when the disciples could not cast the demon out, do you remember? There was one time that the disciples tried to cast out a demon and they couldn't. Okay, then later on they go and they ask Jesus, Jesus, why couldn't we cast the demon out? Then Jesus said, this kind shall not come out except through prayer and fasting. Okay, so prayer and fasting, what is the use of prayer and fasting? See, prayer and fasting affects our faith. Got it? So when we pray, when we fast, it is going to develop my faith. That's why Jesus said prayer and fasting. Okay, because it will directly affect our faith. Our faith will increase and then when faith is more, can we move in the supernatural? Of course, we can move in the supernatural because faith is so much stronger. That is why prayer and fasting, got it? One of the reasons. Now, one of you said through the word of God, through the study of the word of God. So faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. So to fill our hearts with the word of God, Romans 10 17, we already said that faith comes by hearing, hearing by the word of God. Now, what is the work that the word does in us? We have to look at it like food. Okay, so when we eat food, we become stronger. Same thing, as far as faith is concerned. So the more time we are spending in the word, our faith will become stronger. Got it? So I think I mentioned this earlier to exercise the gifts of the Holy Spirit or to minister healing. Somewhere, we may have some struggles. It may not flow and sometimes even healing, we are praying for people, we are praying for their healing and we don't see it manifest. So how to build faith in that particular situation? Spend time in the word. The more time that we spend in the word, what happens? The gifts of the Spirit, you can operate quite strongly in the gifts of the Spirit, whether it is the prophetic or even tongues or anything, any gift of the Spirit or ministering healing. Let's say we are going on a mission trip or we are ministering in a Sunday service or we are going to an outreach. And we want to see answers to prayer. What to do? Spend time in prayer but also spend time in the word of God. Additional time. Just meditate. Meditate on all those scriptures of how to minister to people. Then you go. Then when we do that, what will we see? More faith. And where there is faith, we can move mountains. There will be answers to prayer, there will be miracles, there will be the demonstration of the power of God. So through the word of God. And how long should we listen to the word of God? How long? Okay, let's say somebody is a believer. They are spending time in the word of God. One year, two years, they spend time. Now they are able to serve God. Many, many things are happening through their lives. So is that enough? Can they stop there and then continue the work of the ministry? Should they continually be in the word of God? Yeah, that's true. So it's a discipline. It's a discipline. And in fact, the, you know, the longer your journey with God, you feel the need more and more to be in the word. Otherwise, it's so difficult to minister. Okay, so we become dependent on the word of God. So we need to come to that extent where we are depending on the word of God. You know, the Psalmist, he said that open up to me a word. It's like a treasure. You know, when you, let's say you dive into an ocean, okay, you have the blue seas, right? You dive into the ocean. We know that there are so many things that exist in the ocean that we've not seen. There are plants, there are, you know, there is all kinds of, if you may call it whatever, landscape, there are animals, meaning fish and all kinds of sea creatures. So once you go in, you start to discover, right? You start to see new things and you start to understand those new things. When we don't dive into the sea, we don't even know that it exists. The word of God is like that. Okay. We may not open our Bible and think, yeah, something is there in the word. Okay, fine. But when you dive into it, that's why the Psalmist said your word, it's like treasure. There are treasures in your word. Treasures are hidden in your word. Okay. So when we start to engage in the word, then what happens? We start to see many things, which we did not see before. And you know, we are excited about what God is showing us. And so the journey with the word of God to build faith, it's a continuous journey. It never ends. In fact, we become more dependent on the word of God. Got it? So faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. And we need to depend a lot on it. So we can read the Bible. We can read some good books, which explain the word in a proper theological way, right? So be careful of what books we read. It should have some, you know, accurate content or content. Then we can listen to some good sermons. Why am I saying good sermons? Because it has to have the word of God and the right interpretation of the word of God, good sermons. And from time to time, as you're listening, your faith is being built up. Okay. So like even for me, like, apart from reading the Bible, apart from maybe reading some, you know, good books, articles and all that, when you have the time, when I have the time, what I do is I have a set of sermons that, you know, I consider them good sermons, because it has good interpretation of the scripture. So I just play it and it's constantly going into my mind. It's constantly going into my head. Maybe, you know, when you're in your house, you're just doing your housework or you're driving somewhere, you're walking, you're listening. Why? Because your mind is always active. We can utilize the faculty of our mind. So because my mind is alert, you just put it on. What's happening? You're concentrating on it. Even though your hand is doing something else, it's going inside. It's going inside. And what exactly happens? Faith is building up. Got it? So faith is something that we have to work on. Work on your faith. Work on, you know, I need to work on my faith and keep the faith stronger and stronger. Make every effort, every effort in every way possible to go to the Word of God. See this one scripture, there might be only one scripture. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. But there are a thousand sermons as people understand the depths of what that one word means. So get into the word, get deep into the word, let it get deep inside us and it becomes a food and it becomes a food we can grow through it. Got it? So in this way, depend completely on the Word of God, then faith will increase. Okay, fine. So all this we already know, what else should we do to keep our faith strong or to build our faith? Correct. Correct. So that is more in the area of exercising, exercising our faith. Okay, so faith, if you look at it, remember it as two things. One is food. So when we eat food, we become stronger. Faith, through the Word of God, we can increase it. Got it? Second is, faith is a muscle. We are saying that, right? So how to increase our muscles, we need to exercise. Without exercise, what will happen? The muscle will sort of die down or atrophy, we call it. So faith will not work if we don't use it. That is another thing. One is the Word, feed the Word. Second is, use your faith. So how do we use our faith? As Nelson pointed out, speak your faith, then pray, pray your faith through, do what is required, right? Some action. If God is saying, do this, do that, we need to just step in and we have to try and do it. Okay? Then of course, we must thank God. We already saw that we also should be patient, be enduring, right? Trust God. God has something good for me. If I'm going to do what he's telling me to do, something good is on the way. We need faith. We need to trust God and go ahead and do it, right? In the beginning, it may look very scary, but when we trust the Lord, we are able to see the results. So go ahead and do it. Be patient. Now, one other thing that we want to share is, remember earlier we said we need a strong desire, okay? A strong desire or in other words, determination. In the last class, we saw how that woman with the issue of blood, how the blind men and also I think the woman who is from a Canaanite woman, right? So they all came to Jesus and they didn't leave Jesus. They said, Jesus, you have to do for us. So determination apart from growing our faith and acting our faith, the next important thing is determination. We need some determination, right? We know that, okay, I, God, you said this, I want to see this happen. I won't give up till this result comes. Got it? So if let's say our faith is like, okay, like, you know, if God does, I'll be happy. If God doesn't do, it's fine. I'll adjust. You know, that is not the right kind of faith. When we say faith, that attitude is actually showing unbelief, right? So real faith is determined. It says, if God is saying this, this is in the will of God, this is what God wants from me, I will go after it, no matter what, right? So determination, determination to get it, no matter what, that is very, very essential in sort of fulfilling. The faith or the results of faith, okay? So these are the points which are there in chapter 16, which again is sort of a repetition of whatever we have learned so far. But I just quickly summarized it for us. Okay, are there any, any points of discussion regarding growing our faith or determination or practicing our faith? Okay, so Sanjay is sharing. He says, I had many unanswered questions with respect to my faith before I joined Bible college. But on many occasions before I could even post or ask questions, they were answered during the sessions. It felt like God was ready with all the answers to my questions. All I had to do was make myself available to receive from him. Okay, so thank you for sharing that, Brother Sanjay. So, you know, God has been speaking to him through the Bible college, the different questions that he has. So it's good to know that. Sometimes we just have to, as I said earlier, step out. Just step out. And then you will see how God will provide for us. But till we step out, we won't know. Okay, so just talking about the exercising of faith and stepping out, maybe I'll just share one testimony, which I have. Okay, so what happened is like after I finished my graduation, I really wanted to do my master's program in a slightly different subject. And God gave that opportunity. I completed everything. But it was very difficult to get a job, because the field in which I did my master's, there were not many opportunities. So it was very, very frustrating, very stressful. Because even after completing, you know, your studies, doing well, you're not getting a proper job. So finally, again, it was a real miracle. So I used to, I just took up a particular, you know, clinical job and from a clinical background. So I just took up a clinical job and I was working in it. But every day, I would sit in the clinic, and I would pray in tongues, like when there are no patients, I would pray in tongues. I had all most of pastor's books, I would read the books, underline the books, confess the scriptures, walk up and down, walk up and down, and you know, pray in the spirit and say, God, you have to open a door for me, because I have all this knowledge. I can't even use it, because I'm not getting the job which I want. Right? So this happened for a while. But it was really like a faith thing. Because earlier, when I took up that program, I had a clear word from God to go ahead and do that course. So I did the course. But after that, I'm not getting a job. So you can imagine, it's like Abraham, right? You're waiting, waiting, you're not getting, it's like really frustrating. So only one thing I decided, I'm not going to grumble. Every day, I'll pray in the spirit. I pray hard in the spirit, read the scriptures, confess the scriptures. That's what I used to do. Day and night, I just do that. Then one day, I got a phone call, very surprising, miraculous story. I just met somebody in some entrance exam, and that family, that brother, he was in, you know, like the work that I had done, the study that I had done, his organization had that in its name. Okay. So I suddenly remembered that brother, oh, he works for an organization, which may have opportunities for me. So one day, I just remembered it and I had their phone number. So I called him up and I said, is there any opportunity, any jobs? He said, okay, you come, come to the office, we'll see. And I went to the office and I was so desperate for a job, right? You're just ready to do anything. You're so desperate. I was in that position. So he looked up all the opportunities and he said, you know what, I think there is one particular, one particular role and he stated that role. Okay, it has to do with, you know, public health. It has to do with community health and development. Would you like to try? He said the name of the role, I don't even know what it means, right? But I was so desperate. I said, yes, yes, I'll do, I'll do, give me that job. So I just signed up, I went home after that and I googled, what does it mean? You know, what is the role going to be? Because I don't know what to do in that job. I just know that, okay, I have the knowledge, something I'll be able to do, at least I'll try. Right? So I just took the job. Then the job started and it was so difficult, so difficult because I have some knowledge, but certain skills I was lacking. So it was so challenging to go to work because initially I went, then as the days went by, they had given us like a table desk and you know, one room, I'll go sit inside the room, put my head down and just sometimes even cry and pray and say, God, I don't know what to do. They're asking me to do this. They're asking me to do that. I don't know how to do this. Okay, now what should I do? You have to teach me. I'm lacking some skills. Right? So one particular day they gave me one assignment. I just couldn't take it anymore. I just went inside the room, close the door, put my head down on the table and I was like, what am I doing? My training is in, you know, clinical work. I'm sitting in front of the computer. I have to do all this. This is just not good. Why is all this happening? You know, you go through all that. So I was just there and I said, Holy Spirit, you have to speak to me now. I want you to speak to me right now. Okay, because I was almost beginning to lose my faith. So at that time, it was so amazing. One verse, it just came in my spirit and I don't even know the reference of the verse. Okay, the verse was whatever is born of God overcomes the world and this is the victory that has overcome the world, our faith. Okay, whatever is born of God overcomes the world and this is the victory that has overcome the world, our faith. So you can imagine and just praying and in my spirit, I get the scripture. Whatever is born of God overcomes the world. So at that point, I decided, I'm not going to say I can't, I can't anymore. I am born of God. I overcome the world. That's it. Right? Through my faith, I will overcome everything. So I just started telling myself, I can do this. Right? I am born of God. I overcome the world. This is my victory. Even my faith. This is one John chapter five verse four. Okay, so I can't forget that scene sitting in the room and the verse coming to me and I start declaring the scripture and so I just started working. I just started, you know, you have to work on Excel and so many things. I'm not very good at it. I don't even know it very well, but these days, you know, on the internet, you have everything you can try to learn. So I did that. So I just went, looked up different tutorials, this and that somehow work it out, work it out. Okay, you don't know how to work on Word document. No problem. Learn, work, work, work. But the beautiful thing is by the time, like soon after this contract, I got another job. Okay, but it's just God's amazing grace that he helped me through my time in that organization and literally those people didn't want to let me go because they felt like, Hey, you're working so well. But honestly, I don't even know what the title of my role means when I took up the job. Okay, I'm not encouraging you to do that, but I did it. Okay, maybe it's a mistake. I don't know, but I was just so desperate. And I knew that, you know, God wanted me to try something and also the exercise of faith. I felt like if I just sat at home, right, and thought, why is God not doing anything? God is not doing anything. What about exercising my faith? Somewhere I just trusted God, something I went to do. You got it? Even that I feel is like, you just have to step out. It's very scary. It's like, you know, when you have a swimming pool and you have the deep end and you don't know how to swim and you're jumping into the deep end, the feeling is like that. Right? So you're like, Okay, I have to jump. I am going to jump. What next? Nobody knows. Right? But somewhere that's what it is. A leap of faith. At least as far as faith is concerned, as far as, you know, our walk with the Lord is concerned, we don't have to be afraid. If God is saying it, you can actually take the leap. Something good will come out of it. Right? So, yeah, experiences like this, when I look back, right, at my own life, I feel like trusting God each step. Like today, I feel like what I'm doing is what I love. Like, even if nobody paid me for what I'm doing, I would still do it because I love it. But it's the way God leads us. We've got to just walk with him little by little, you know, piece by piece, season by season, exercise your faith, just step in. Okay. If God is saying, okay, try this, do this, just do it. Then next, he'll show you the next. More courage, step in, do it. Keep moving. And it's really God who leads all of us. So through, you know, whatever experience I have had, I can surely assure you that God is so faithful. Right? He knows what exactly we love to do and, you know, what he wants us to do. And he guides us into those places. Right? So that we can serve him. So I just felt like that might be encouraging for you. So I shared it. Any other, I mean, any questions, any, any thoughts about faith, building yourself up in faith, stepping out in faith, you can ask. Okay. So I'm sure we all have our own stories. You also may have your own experiences. But yeah, thank God, thank God that we all can, you know, see God's faithfulness. Now, the question we want to answer is, when we have faith, okay, in some experiences, there is failure. See, we had faith, we trusted God, we believed God, but still it did not happen. Or we are calling it a failure. Why does, why does a failure happen? Why failures? What, what went wrong? This, the, maybe it was not in God's will. Okay. Maybe it was not God's plan, right? Yeah. To begin with. Yeah, correct. Maybe it was not God's plan. And we went, we said, okay, God will still do it. But if it's not God's plan, then why should God do it? Isn't it? Okay. Fine. It was not God's plan. Then, suppose it is God's plan, then why, why is there failure, failure as far as faith is concerned? Sister, maybe it is not in his time. Okay. Sure. It could be a, yeah. Sister, it could be a test of our faith as well. Okay. It could be a test of our faith as well. Okay. So all your answers are very positive. Okay. Like, yes, there are delays. So you're referring more to delays. It's not God's time. It's not, you know, it may be a test from God. These are all delays and eventually the promises fulfilled. Now, the question I'm asking is, let's imagine it is God's plan. It is God's time and God wants us to have it. But we didn't, it was not successful or effective. Our faith did not work. Why? Maybe we were not having the, we were having some unbelief or doubt or anxiety, sister. Could be, could be. So, you know, you're right actually, sister. Generally, when we say that it is in God's plan, but it didn't happen, mostly the answer is somewhere we have missed something. Got it? Now, as you said, maybe unbelief is the issue, maybe doubt is the issue or maybe something else is the issue. But it's definitely not God trying to take away that blessing from us. You got it? So if God promises something, it means he wants to give it to us. Okay? But if we don't get it, even though it is God's will, something is missing from our side. It's not God's fault or it's not God's mistake. Got it? So then, we need to deal with it. Like, God wanted this for me, but I somehow missed it. For example, you know, Saul, we keep saying, Saul in the Old Testament, God wanted him to be a great king, but he missed it. Then God had to pick David because Saul is so disobedient. Right? But what was the issue? What was the problem? God wanted him to be king. There was no doubt about it, but he couldn't. Why? Yeah, disobedience, pride, rebellion. These were the issues. So the issue was more from the side of Saul. Got it? So that is an extreme example. But even in our case, let's say there is a promise of God, but it does not happen. Then we should ask the question, why did this not happen? Okay? So what can be some of the reasons? Doubt, unbelief, okay? Anything else? A lack of determination. You know how sometimes we don't, we are not so passionate about what God wants. We say, okay, if it happens, it's good, otherwise it doesn't. It's fine. Right? So from our end, we are not determined. We are not we are not keeping our faith strong. Okay? We are not pursuing the promise that God has for us. Then we may miss out. Okay? So how do we deal with it? The way we deal with it is we need to reflect. Each time we have to reflect and see why did it not happen. Okay? Now we may get the exact answers. We may not get the exact answers, but something that we gain from our time of reflection, we need to make sure that we change the next time. So as we are, in a way, it is like learning lessons. Got it? For example, I'll just tell you, you know, people come, they are sick. Okay? As pastors, we pray for them. Many times, people get healed. Okay? I'm saying many times, because there are some times where it's been a long time, but we are not seeing healing. So as ministers of God, it's very frustrating for us where we are asking the question, why, why is that person not receiving healing? What is the problem? Okay? It obviously the problem is not God's side. What can be the problem? Is it my faith? If it is my faith, then I have to build my faith. I have to, maybe I will fast, maybe I will spend more time in the world. I will pray more. You got it? So look into the issue. It cannot be God for sure, because he is perfect. But something may be missing from our side. And we must understand that and try to work on it. That's the way to improve ourselves. Then you work on yourself. Again, you go minister to the person. You see some improvement, you see some healing. Okay, praise God. Got it? Now, what also happens is we learn lessons. We learn lessons. So in the future, when I see somebody who's sick like that, immediately it comes to my mind. Okay, you know, what I need to do is this. Maybe I need to teach that person about healing, the scriptures from the word of God, help them to believe, help them confess. So you guide people on the basis of the lessons that we have learned over the years. So it applies to all areas of our life. Learn lessons quickly. Because maybe there is something we are missing. That is why it's not working. Got it? It's supposed to work. It's already in the word. It's supposed to work. But when it doesn't work, then something from our side needs to be corrected. You got it? So learn the lesson. Don't forget the lesson. Keep moving forward with the lesson. This is the way to deal with failures. If we had a failure, then we need to understand, you know, why, what are the issues? And sometimes we understand about ourselves. For example, maybe we, okay, I'll come to you, Sister Gattur. Maybe we realize some attitudes in our own lives. Maybe we have an attitude of laziness, right? God says, okay, I want you to have this wonderful ministry. I want you to serve me like this. But it's exciting for some time, but then we don't pursue it. Then we recognize within ourselves. You know what? God wants it, but I am the one who's lazy. Okay, I should not be lazy from now onwards. You know what I mean? Like spiritual laziness. God, I will pray. I want to get rid of this spiritual laziness in the name of Jesus. So you learn about yourself. Oh, I'm having problems with laziness. I'm having problems with focus. I'm having problems with something else. Got it? So then we understand ourselves and we can be very alert as we journey through life that I should not make a mistake in the area of whatever it can be, lust, pride, jealousy, we know our own problems. Right? So in this way, we can kind of recognize and work on our own issues or problems. So that that is something. Yes, sister, please go ahead. Sister, I want to ask a question. Yeah, I have a promise from God and I missed on it. Will God give this promise again? Okay, it really depends on the promise Sister Gathrud or the area or what kind of a promise it was? Well, it was a financial breakthrough. Financial breakthrough. Okay. So if it is financial breakthrough, I think you don't have to worry because the word of God promises us a blessing through the cross. So that is applicable throughout our lifetime. Financial blessing. You got it? We may go through some rough seasons but in general, God has said I'm Jehovah Jairah, right? He's our provider. Even in the wilderness, he provided for the Israelites. So you don't have to worry as far as this promise is concerned. Thank you, sister. Sure. Yeah, thank you. Okay, so Akhil says our God is a God of second chances when God promises, he will deliver. So Akhil, I agree with you and I also disagree with you a little bit. Okay, disagree in the sense, not theologically, this majorly disagree. See, God is a God of second chances. I agree with you, but sometimes certain promises may be time bound. Time bound meaning when we, let's say something was supposed to happen at a certain time in my life, but I was disobedient, rebellious, all that. But the time is now gone. Imagine, you know, I am already 10 years ahead of that point and I'm telling God, you know, God, you need to do that again, but that time has gone. You know what I mean? God will restore, but certain restorations may not be exact because if time passes by, you can't have the exact same thing back. Akhil, do you agree with me on that? Yeah, sure. So God will restore, but the restoration may look somewhat different. Okay, all right. So I think we'll just go for a break. We'll come back to talk about faith, collective faith, or everyone's faith put together, how to work on that and how to see the fulfillment of God's promises. All right. So yeah, let's take a 10 minute break and then we'll come back. Thank you.
