 Hi, everyone. Welcome back to the second session. It's had a good break. Cool. So let's just, let's, let's resume from where we left off, and if it's okay with you, I want to reiterate the eight points we covered in the last session. Okay. Very quickly. Point one is why miracles, healing, and deliverance, some of the biblical reasons, because it reveals the reality in the nature of God. It reveals His greatness. It shows that He is compassionate. It shows what the importance Jesus gave to miracles in His ministry. It talks about the kingdom of God. It's the kingdom of power that breaks, that brings deliverance, breaks bondages, heals the sick, cleanses the lepers, etc, raises the dead. It's His, the kingdom of God is the kingdom with power. And the gospel is to be preached with accompanying signs and wonder. And miracles encourages people to believe for more of the supernatural. Right? So those were the eight points that we covered in the last class. And and so let's continue. I want to just very briefly mention about these two points that, that one of the key points that I mentioned earlier in the beginning is every believer can do this, right? We are expected to do this. And Jesus, Jesus expected us to do, to live like him. Right? So that's one of, that was one of the key points that I mentioned when we started off, isn't it? And so you look at, let's go to page 23 at the very bottom. Page 23 says in your notes, it says God's desire, God's desire, the supernatural through every believer. Right? Once again, reading from John chapter 14 verse 12, most assuredly, I say to you, He who believes in me, the works that I do, He will also do, and greater works than these He will do, because I go to my Father. Because I go to my Father. Right? That verse is just filled with so much of goodness. We can talk about it all day. Right? So in short, coming back to that point is that He desires all of us to work and move in the supernatural. Right? Now, how can we do that? You know, in page 25, right on top, you see that Holy Spirit power given, is given to all believers, be, sonship glory is given to all believers. Right? Sonship glory is given to all believers. Now, when you study some, you'll study about the humanity of Jesus Christ in the subject of Christology. Okay? Selina Mam is teaching that. And so one of the things that you will study is about the humanity of Jesus Christ. Okay? When He came down to earth, He was all God, all man. Right? But then He was, because of the limitations of being in a human body, He who was omnipresent could not be omnipresent. Right? And there's so many things. He was sleepy. He slept. He was hungry. He ate. Right? He was tired. He would get weary. So all of those points towards the humanity of Jesus. Right? In Philippians chapter two verse seven, it says, He made Himself of no reputation. Right? Philippians chapter two verse seven, that's mentioned in the notes in the book, page 25, actually. Right? When Jesus walked the earth, He was all God and all man, deity and humanity met together. He was deity in origin and identity. However, He laid aside the powers of the deity, the eternal glory of omnipresence, omniscience, omnipotence, and these could not be contained in a flesh and blood human body. Okay? And hence it's mentioned in Philippians two seven, made Himself of no reputation, which is a Greek word, simply means Kino, means to empty one's self. So in short, everything that Jesus did, He did it with these two things. One, He was filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. Two, with the sonship glory, which was bestowed on Him. At the bottom of page 25, we see in Luke chapter four, it was 1819, the spirit of the Lord is upon me because He has anointed me. Okay? He has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor. Okay? He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery for the sight, recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed. Okay? You see the progression. Now, this is of course being, is a prophecy being quoted from Isaiah, right? That Jesus is quoting. See the progression of the verse, the spirit of the Lord is upon me. He has anointed me to preach. Okay? And one of the points that we did and covered in the last session is that the preaching of the gospel should be accompanied by signs and wonders of supernatural ministry. That's exactly what is happening here in this verse. In page 26, we see that Acts chapter 10 verse 38. Acts chapter 10 verse 38, it says, how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. Okay? He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil. Right? So Jesus was, Jesus did everything he did with the power of the Holy Spirit because on him. And then finally we see in Acts chapter 1 verse 5 and 8, for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now. Verse 8 says, but you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You shall be witness to me in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth. Right? So the baptism of the Holy Spirit is still available for us today. It has not ended. It is through the power of the Holy Spirit that we can do what Jesus did and secondly through the sonship glory given to all believers. Right? Page 26 of the bottom it says in John chapter 1 verse 14 says, and the word became flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory, the glory of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. And now the key scripture in John chapter 17 verse 5 22, very important in page 27 it says, and now, oh Father, glorify me together with yourself. Okay, glorify me together with yourself with the glory which I had with you before the world was and the glory which you gave me I have given them that they may be one just as we are one. Amazing isn't it? John chapter 17 is a very pivotal chapter in the Gospel of John actually in the Holy Testament. Right? It's Jesus interceding for us for you and me. Right? It's amazing how Jesus is saying, okay, now glorify me the glory that I had with you before the world began and then and the glory which you gave me I have given them. Okay, just check out the authority and the power that Jesus has. Okay, the glory that you gave me I am giving to them just as you and I are one so they can also be one. Right? So with these two things, right? Holy Spirit is made available for all of us because of what Jesus did on the cross. Right? The baptism of the Holy Spirit we emphasize that in our church we have sessions on the baptism of the Holy Spirit and we're teaching on the importance of it. Right? So baptism of the Holy Spirit and the sonship glory and because of these two things that is made available for you and me, we can do what Jesus did. Okay, what are the two things guys? The Holy Spirit, the power of the Holy Spirit is made available for you as one and secondly, your identity as the sons and daughter of the Most High God. Amen? Yeah, cool. Okay, I hope you guys are with me. So let's just continue. Right? As we go forward, you know, we're going to ask, address some of the important questions. Right? One of the key important questions that we're going to just talk about from page 28 onwards is this, why are we not demonstrating more of God's power? Okay, why is every church that's ever been planted is moving in the supernatural? What are some of the reasons? Right? Bill Johnson says this the best. He says, Bible study without Bible experience is waste. That's stayed with me for a, I don't know for how long it's going to stay with. Okay, Bible study without Bible experiences. Yeah, it's a waste. That's what he says. So anyways, so let's, let's address some, you know, this question. Why are we not demonstrating more of God's power? Okay, the first point is lack of knowledge. Okay, lack of knowledge. Isaiah chapter 13 says, therefore my people have gone into captivity because they have no knowledge. And Hosea chapter four verse six says, my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Okay, knowledge comes with teaching. So probably there's no enough teaching or emphasis being made available or, you know, resources being made available or, you know, on who this God is. And remember the very first point was the Ministry of Supernatural and Deliverance is it unveils who God is. Right? And with that revelation, with that unveiling comes a knowledge of who God is, right? We get to know the nature of God. And in without seems like without the teaching or enough emphasis on those topic on this topic, there is no knowledge. So this is one of the things that hinders us or stops us from moving in the power of God. First one is the lack of knowledge. Second is wrong teaching concerning the supernatural. Okay, wrong teaching concerning the supernatural, right? In page 29, there's a scripture that's mentioned from Mark chapter seven was eight, nine and 13. In page 29, there's a scripture that's mentioned there. Mark chapter seven was eight, nine and 13. Read it for us. It says, for laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men. Okay, the washing of pictures and cups and many other such things you do. He said to them, all too well you reject the commandment of God that you that that you may keep your tradition. You reject the commandment of God that you may keep your tradition, making the word of God of no effect through your tradition, which you have handed down and many such things you do. Okay, seems like tradition, we give more importance to the tradition that's been passed on from generation to generation and hence that has led to false teaching or wrong teaching regarding the supernatural, right? Some of the claims or teaching that's going around is the three points that's mentioned there is it was only for Bible times. It is not for us today, right? Succession, that's what we're talking about, right? In those days, they did not have medical help as we do today and hence they needed supernatural power of God to help, right? You get what I'm talking about, right? This whole thing ended when the last apostle died. You know, that's the idea or the teaching of succession, isn't it? Can you imagine, you know, Paul, sorry, John, he was the last apostle, known apostle to die. On his last days, everybody knows, okay, he's sick, he's going to die. All right, guys, just line up in front of his house, okay, he's going to die because once he dies, the supernatural and the healing power of God is not going to work anymore. That's not true, isn't it? That's, again, the wrong teaching. Recently, there was, I think, Pastor Nancy and the sermon is available on our website. It's the same Jesus who lived, right? And the same Jesus who did everything that he did can do the same things today. That's why we have the scripture in the Hebrews, right? He's the same yesterday, today and forever. The same Jesus who healed the sick back in his days, his time on earth is the same Jesus who's still healing the sick, right? Opening the eyes of the blind, you know, healing the mute, healing the deaf, etc., etc., right? Jesus has not changed, right? If this is what Jesus did in his time on earth, this is what he wants to do and he's doing right now, okay? So, that's the second, you know, reason why we are not moving, we are not demonstrating more of God's power. When I say we, it's the church in general, the global church. It's not pointing any particular church or any denomination as such. When we say church, it's a universal church, right? So, that's the second point. And the third one is being leaving the miracle ministry reserved for an elite few. We still have to drive that point which says every believer can do this and somehow we seem to have an idea. Again, it comes with the teaching or I don't know what understanding is that, okay, it's only for the healing ministry of so-and-so or the miracle ministry of so-and-so and whatnot. I'm sure, you know, in Ephesians 4 verse 11, you know, it is true that the Lord Jesus has appointed some people to be evangelists in the body of Christ who are, you know, who are workers of miracles with gifts of healings, etc. I'm in page 30, by the way. So, while we recognize those called to be healing evangelists and others in the five-fold ministry, ministry gift in the body of Christ, we also understand that God intended for all believers to pray, heal the sick and cast out devils by the authority of Jesus' name, right? That is a commandment, isn't it? I think it's very convenient for us to obey, obey selective followers of selective commands, right? Okay, I will choose to obey this command. I will not choose to obey that command, right? One of the points that it kind of stood out to me is in Ephesians chapter 5 where Paul writes about, it's a commandment. He says, do not be drunk with wine, but be filled with the Spirit. Okay, the first point seems to be, you know, very clear, easy, you know, do not be drunk with wine. Sure, sure, brother, pastor, no, I'm a Christian, I, you know, I don't, even during Christmas and Easter, I don't, you know, I don't drink wine. But what about the second half of that commandment, okay, but be filled with the Spirit? How many of us in the church can say that I am free with the Spirit? How many of us can say that I obeyed the second half of the commandment as well, right? So we cannot be selective in the Church of Commandments that we want to follow and not, right? This is a commandment. Every believer can do this. We are called to do this. We are commanded by Jesus, our Teacher, our Master, our Lord and Savior to do this, right? So we need to drive that home, you know, saying, okay, this is not just for the elite few, it's for all of us, it's all our call to walk in the supernatural, right? And point four, replacing the supernatural with modern substitutes, somehow again, you know, we become content with technology or with good programs, you know, just amazing concerts with lights and whatnot. And all of that, we do all of that at APC, right? We believe in just producing, being good, getting better month after month, without production, right? We depend on technology, thankful to technology, because this is happening, right? Classroom is happening. I mean, so we are thankful for that, right? We are not negating, you know, discounting that fact at all. But can we be satisfied with that? No. Right? At the bottom of this, we need to continue, we need to pursue and push and place emphasis on the presence of God, you know, followers of His presence, pursuers of the presence of God, which leads to the supernatural, right? That's the fourth thing. Again, guys, just want to pause and reiterate that question that we are addressing, which is, why are we not demonstrating more of God's power? So everything we are discussing is connected to that question, right? Why are we not demonstrating more of God's power? So the points that we've covered so far is one, because lack of knowledge and wrong teachings that's out there, it's more dangerous because of everything that's available on YouTube now. And then we, some of us believe that it's only for the elite few, certain ministry and whatnot. And then we are satisfied with good programs. Let's put it that way. That's point four. And moving on, in page 31 is point five, unwilling to press in till we see more of His power displayed. Unwilling to press in. And in Matthew 11, 12, it says, From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force. Very popular scripture, isn't it? You know, the violent shall take it by force. It's simply pointing again metaphorically saying that there is no enough desire. There is no enough want or pursuit. There is no intent or intensity in our prayers to wanting more of God. Are you guys with me? Okay. So that's what that point is emphasizing all about is we need to be more hungry to see what Jesus did in our day and age. What was it about Peter's shadow that healed the cripple? Was it only for him? Was it something special about Peter? And that question should, that curiosity should lead you to seek him more. It's like, Father, if you move that way with Peter, I want you to use me as well. It's not about coming from a place of arrogance saying, look, so that all the glory can come on me, all the spotlight should fall on me. It's like, oh, Roshan's shadow is healed. Oh, Roshan is amazing. It's about again going back to the heart of God. He wants to see people being healed. He wants to reveal his nature. He wants to see his children see him, who he really is, how good he is. That he loves them, that he wants to see them well, that he wants to see them healed. He wants to see them live life with full of peace. It is Shalom. So that's why we need to intercede and press in more desire, more hungry, more hunger of his presence. So that's the point five. It's about ready to get more hungry and desperate for his presence. And finally, just point six in page 31, some of the other roadblocks to supernatural is not stepping out in faith, not stepping out in faith. This popular line that is out there, faith is spelled as RISK, risk. We are scared for a lot of reasons. And rightfully so, given the political climate in our country, it's India. The last thing you want to do, it seems like that, isn't it? At least in Karnataka, with all these anti-conversion bill going on, you're like, yeah, I'm not taking that risk. That's where seeking him more comes in. Just being hungry for more of his presence. Because while we pray for the Holy Spirit over us, we also see that the scripture says that he has not given us the spirit of timidity. He's given us the spirit of power. So that's one of the roadblocks is not stepping out in faith. That means it's not willing to take enough risks for various reasons, depending on methods instead of his presence, depending on methods instead of his presence. One of the key points, again, we mentioned initially is that it's not about the methods or process. This whole thing is about the person of Jesus Christ. And you just go through some of the other notes that's mentioned there in page 32, page 31 and 32. So those are the six key points of why we are not demonstrating more of God's power is lack of knowledge, wrong teaching, not taking the initiative of believing that healing ministry is only for the called or the chosen, replacing the supernatural with modern substitutes or unwilling to press in, not willing to step out in faith or depending on methods instead of his presence or discouragement from past failures or improper motives. All of these various reasons can stop us from demonstrating the power of God in our lives, in your ministry, in your walk with him as a Christian, as a believer, etc., etc. And another question that you can get asked is, don't demonic powers also demonstrate supernatural? Don't the demonic powers also demonstrate supernatural? That's another common question. So we see that in 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 verse 9, 2 Thessalonians in page 33 in your notes, it says, the coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan with all power, signs and lying wonders. The coming of lawless one is according to the working of Satan with all power, signs and lying wonders. A common contention, I'm just reading a paragraph from the notes. It says, a common contention against us believers emphasizing healings, deliverance, signs and wonders is the point that even demonic powers through false teachers, practitioners of witchcraft also perform supernatural signs. Yes, this is true. The Bible does talk about Satan working, lying or deceptive, signs and wonders. But then the notes just goes on to say that he is a counterfeit. But just because there is a counterfeit, one of the points that in your notes in page 34 it says, okay, there are a lot of, let's say a lot of counterfeit thousand rupee notes out there that shouldn't, that doesn't stop us from using the genuine one, isn't it? There are a lot of fake things that that's out there in the world, but that doesn't stop us from pursuing something that's genuine. And similarly, the Satan does what he has to do and he knows to only counterfeit. He only knows to duplicate things from everything that happens in the kingdom of God. But he's powerless. That shouldn't stop us from pursuing the supernatural that God has in store for us. A couple of scriptures that's mentioned or examples of that point is we see that the story of Moses and magicians in Egypt, right? In Exodus 7 verse 8 to 12, page 35, page 35. Can I request someone to read that verse, please, that scriptures? Exodus chapter 7 verse 8 to 12. Exodus chapter 7 verse 8 to 12. Then the Lord spoke to Moses and all on saying, when Pharaoh speaks to you saying, show miracle for yourselves, then you shall say to our own, take your rod and cast it before Pharaoh and let it become a serpent. So Moses and our own went into Pharaoh and they did so, just as the Lord commanded. And our own cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants and became a serpent. But Pharaoh also called the wise man and the sorceress. So the magicians of Egypt, they also did in life manner with their enchantments. For every man threw down his rod and they became serpents. But our own rod swallowed up their rods. Okay. All right. Thanks, Jeffina. Right. I mean, just put yourself in the shoes of Moses. Okay. This is to be fair in all honesty. Okay. God tells him, it's like, hey, don't worry about it. Go to Pharaoh's chamber and throw your rod. It's going to become a snake and he's going to see the power of God. Okay. Moses goes into the all confidence. All right. Let's do this. Okay. We got this and he does his brother, his high five, whatever fist pump. Okay. Throws his rod down and then the next thing you know, Pharaoh calling his magicians. Yeah. Okay. Who can't do this trick and tell them to do the same trick. And Moses is like, okay, you know, it must be in his heart saying, okay, God, you did not discuss this with me. Right. You didn't give me a heads up. What is happening? Um, but before you know it, uh, you know, again to prove God's power, his rod swallows the other rods. Right. And magicians. And then we just come down the very bottom of the notes. Are you seeing Exodus eight was 18 and 19. Uh, we are in page 35 still. Okay. Exodus chapter eight, it says, now the magicians so worked with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not. So there were lice on man and beast. Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, this is the finger of God, but Pharaoh's heart grew hard and he did not heed them just as the Lord said, this is the finger of God. Right. Just because this counterfeit and whatnot, they didn't stop God from moving through Moses. Moses was obedient. He just kept following God's commandment and God start God kept moving through him until the very saucers. Okay. The witchcraft people. Okay. The counterfeit magicians of Egypt could say and declare that this is the finger of God. Right. Um, we need to be like that. Uh, people is we need to walk in a way where the world until the world points their finger and say that's the finger of God on them. Right. Uh, everything that they are doing is the hand of God is through the hand of God. Okay. Um, are you with me? Let's move, let's move to the another example that's mentioned in page 37 is the ministry of Jesus. Um, page 37 is the ministry of Jesus. Jesus himself was falsely accused. Right. Uh, they said, okay, even Jesus was falsely accused for doing his work by the power of Belzebub, the ruler of demons. Uh, so this indicates to us that even during Jesus's time, sorcerers, magicians and practitioners of witchcraft were in the land and performed healings and miracles. However, the Lord Jesus did not change his ministry strategy and abandoned his working miracles. Right. He, Jesus did not go like father, you know, we have to change the strategy now. Everybody are there. There are a lot of magicians, black magicians, witchcraft people. So can we come up with another game plan here? No. Jesus continued to do what, you know, what he's best at. Uh, he was not distracted or worried about what people, you know, told about him. He just went about doing the father's business and that is healing the sick, cleansing the lepers, raising the dead, etc., etc. Okay. Um, and again, there are several other instances which I, uh, we're not going to go into. So that's the, those are the answers to the question. Don't demonic power also demonstrate the supernatural? Well, they do. So what? They shouldn't stop us from doing what we have called do as God's people. Right. Um, and second, and moving on to the next point is, is asking for signs wrong. We are in page 38, um, in the notes is asking for signs wrong. Okay. Um, I want two people to read two scriptures that's mentioned in the notes. One is Matthew 12, 38 to 42. And the next scripture, Matthew 16, one to four. I want two people to read that please fast, fast, fast. Matthew 12, 38 to 42. Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered saying, teacher, we want to see a sign from you. But he answered and said to them, an evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the Prophet Jonah. Whereas Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish. So will the son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it because they happened at because they repented at the preaching of Jonah and indeed a greater than Jonah is here. The queen of the south will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon and indeed a greater than Solomon is here. Amen. Thank you. Somebody else the next verse please. Matthew chapter 16 verses one to four. Then the Pharisees and seducing scheme and testing him asked that he would show them a sign from heaven. He answered and said to them, when it is evening, you say it will be fair weather for the sky is red and in the morning it will be fall weather today for the sky is red and threatening hypocrites. You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the time of wicked adulterous generation seeks after a sign and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah and he left them departed. Thank you sir. Okay so it seems like when you know by reading these scriptures and if you read all the scriptures that's mentioned until the next page, page 40 in the notes, it seems like Jesus rebuked everybody who came to him who asked him for sign and one of the things and so if you come to page 40 in your notes please, there's a summary of all the scriptures that's mentioned in page 40 it says, so there are some common elements in all these incidents where people came seeking a sign. One, they came testing him or with the intent of disputing or arguing with him. So Jesus knew their heart, their intention is why they are coming. And I love this very important thing guys is related to questions. There's a huge difference between asking questions and questioning everything. There's a huge difference between asking a question and questioning everything. It all points towards the intention, the motivation of your heart. And Jesus knew that and that's why he makes, you know, that's the point that says here is they came testing him or with the intent of disputing arguing with him. He called them evil and adulterous because of the heart with which they came. The second point is they came refusing to accept simply means they came to him already with their minds made up. Have you ever had a conversation with the person like that, you know, who's asking a question, but they're already made up their mind. Yes, it's not always pleasant, isn't it? Anyways, the point three that it says, in all cases, Jesus pointed to himself, his death and resurrection as the ultimate final sign that would be given to such people be given to such people. Okay. So let's just read some of the things that's mentioned in the notes with me. So we understand that when people came seeking for a sign in order to test, argue and challenge him, the Lord refused to do anything for them and simply pointed to his death and resurrection. The next para, however, in the rest of the gospels, we know that multitudes came seeking for his power to touch their lives in healings, miracles and deliverance. These people came with faith and expectation to personally experience his power at work for them. To such people, the Lord Jesus responded with great compassion and did great signs and wonders to meet their needs. He did not rebuke or refuse them. Amen. So the point, the answer to this point is asking for signs wrong is all come down boils down to that one point is what is the intention of your heart, right? What is the motivation behind it? So yeah, that's the answer for that question is asking for signs is asking for signs wrong. Let's move on to page 42 to the next question is what about false prophets in sheep's clothing? What about false prophets in sheep's clothing? Okay, so can someone quickly read Matthew, the verse that's mentioned that Matthew 7 15 to 27. Cheers. Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly and are ravenous wolves, you will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorn bushes or fixed from thistles? So every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, you will recognize them by their fruits. Is that all right? Yeah. Actually, yeah, that's fine, JP. Yep. Okay. I hope everything's all right. Yes, sorry. That's fine. That's fine. So there's two scriptures guys that again, I would encourage you to read it, you know, separately. The other scripture mentioned there is second Corinthians 11 12 to 15, right? asking about what about false prophets in sheep's clothing? And in our day and age, I'm sure there are lots right now out there, right? But however, Jesus taught us how to recognize who is genuine and who is not, right? First, he said, by their fruits, you will know them by their fruits, you will know them. Second, what do they practice? Do they do the will of the father or do they practice lawlessness? And so it's very important for us to ask these questions as we, you know, as we see so many, you know, ministries out there, you know, moving in science and wonders, it's very important for us to gauge them by their fruits, et cetera. Okay. And another classic question that can be asked in page 44 is, isn't entering into eternal life more important than being healed or delivered? Okay. Isn't entering, what would you answer me? Isn't entering into eternal life more important than being healed or delivered? Jesus said, you know, Jesus said, okay, if one of your eye causes you to sin, cast upon, you know, and throw it away, it's better to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye than, you know, just being thrown into hell. So, you know, it says, absolutely, you know, we do not in any way dispute the importance of eternal salvation of a person, which is definitely more important than any physical or emotional need that has to be met here on earth. Right? But let's just come down to the next paragraph way down in page 44. However, the reason we are here on earth is to see souls saved. Look, what you want to underline that? Okay, if you can. However, the reason we are here on earth is to see souls saved, brought out of darkness and established God's rule and dominion in the hearts and lives of people. And so, going back, asking that question, what did Jesus do and how did he evangelize? Right? By preaching the gospel, by preaching the gospel, it was accompanied with signs and wonders. Right? Otherwise, Jesus didn't have to do that. He just directly walked, okay, okay, I'm going to the cross without doing anything. Because that was always necessary for our salvation, isn't it? For you and me, there's no need for Jesus to move in the signs and wonders. Right? Just think about it. Okay, so while it, yes, it is important, you know, eternal salvation is important, that us getting to heaven is important, all of that. But our call is also the great commission is to go into the ends of the world and make disciples preach the gospel. Right? And all of that points towards saving the souls. Right? So it is important and it goes hand in hand the healing of ministry and deliverance. And I want to just another last point, which is two points, which is the ministry of apologetics that's in page 46 in your notes. I want to tie that with two points, ministry of apologetics. Now apologetics simply means the ability to reason or defend our faith. Right? Ability to, you know, defend or, you know, reason your faith. Right? And the very modern scripture that is used time and time again is 1 Peter chapter 3 verse 15. 1 Peter 3 15 says, but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts. This is page 46. And always be ready to give a defense apology to everyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you with meekness and fear. So the scripture is only used to be more equipped in the field of apologetics, right, to defend your faith, to how to answer questions about evolution or eternity, what happens after, you know, someone dies, you know, ethics, moral ethics, etc, etc. And all attention and importance is given to that one thing and leaving out the importance of moving in the power of God. Right? And a beautiful defense that's mentioned here in page 47, the same Peter who wrote 1 Peter chapter 3 verse 15, here in 47, it says in Acts chapter 4 verse 13 and 14, now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men. Okay, think of the modern day apologetics, people like, you know, Nabil Qureshi who was with us and another person called David, something. There's so many apologetics. All of them are known to be well trained, well equipped, highly educated. But here it says, Peter and John who perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled and they realized that they had been with Jesus and seeing the man who had been healed, standing with them, they could say nothing against it. And so what was Peter's defense? What would have been Peter's defense is this, is not just mere knowledge of being able to defend, but it was accompanied with the power of healing and deliverance. And yeah, I think, okay, we are off time now. I'll stop here, guys. And I want to encourage you to just go back and just read through some of the scriptures that we didn't read. And should help. Okay, I hope you guys are doing all right. We'll catch up again next week. I don't want to make you late for your next class. Okay, see you guys. Take care. Have a lovely week. Thank you, Basta. Thank you. Take care.
