 Good morning everyone. Welcome to today's session. Before we could start, can I request one of us to please lead us in prayer? Can I request Niki, can you lead us in prayer? Sure. I hope I'm audible. Yes. Yes, you are audible. You are God our Heavenly Father. We just thank you for this day, Lord. We just pray that as we learn from your word, Lord, we just pray that your Holy Spirit would minister to us and teachers and we pray for Dainah also, Lord. We pray that you bless her and may you speak through her, Lord. May you reveal to us through your word, Lord. We pray for the special anointing as we learn today and we pray that you reveal and help us to understand and learn everything. May this in the name of our Lord and save you Jesus Christ. Amen. Amen. Thank you so much. As others join, I'll just present the presentation. So good morning once again. Welcome back. So last class, we studied on the inner witness of the Holy Spirit. And we studied on the eight points under that. We we we shared on the quickening of the Spirit and the assurance that we have within in the desires within and the knowing of the Holy Spirit. And later we also, you know, touched upon the promptings within the stirring the strong, strong stirring of the Holy Spirit within us and the full knowledge within and and also along with the warnings we studied. With this today, we will go move on to the next chapter. That is the fifth chapter in our notes. Fifth chapter, which is the voice of the Holy Spirit, voice of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit does not lead us and guide us alone, but he also speaks to us. He speaks to us in different ways. One is through the inner voice of the Holy Spirit. For some, they have experienced the audible voice of the Holy Spirit. And again, through the voice of the Spirit in prophecy manner. So today we're going to study how the Holy Spirit ministers to each one of us. So in today's session, I would request our class members to share their experience as we study and as the Holy Spirit reminds each of you all how Holy Spirit started speaking to you. Okay. So just be remembered. And at the end of the session, feel free to unmute your mic and share your experience with the Holy Spirit, how the Holy Spirit led you in different stages in your life or to overcome a situation or how he guided to make a decision or how he guided, he led you to a place. Okay. So with this, we will move on to chapter five. Here we see the God of the Bible is a God who desires to speak to his people. God desires to dwell among us and he also speaks to us. He understands us. Only if somebody can understand us, they can speak to us. And they speak to us to our situation. And they respond to us through the circumstance what we go through. So we see the Holy Spirit speak to us. And in the Bible, we see time and again how the Holy Spirit spoke to the servant of God, the prophets, the ministry leaders, and even in the New Testament, how the Holy Spirit led the disciples and the apostles through the inner voice or through the audible voice, how they witnessed the Holy Spirit. Let's read on for you of the scriptures that we have. Can one of you all please turn to Ezekiel chapter three verse 24. There are a list of five scriptures. Can I request five of them to please pick up each scripture and start reading? Ezekiel chapter three verses 24. Then the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet and spoke with me and said to me, go shut yourself inside your house. Man. The next verse Ezekiel chapter 11 verse five. Then the spirit of the Lord fell upon me and said to me, speak. Thus says the Lord. Thus you have saved our house of Israel for I know the things that come into your mind. Can we have one of us read on Acts chapter eight verse 29 and the next other two verses also followed. Go near and overtake this chariot. Next. While Peter thought about the reason, the Spirit said to him, behold three men are seeking you. The next Acts chapter 13 verse 2. As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, now separate to me, Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them. So we see in each of these scriptures, the five scriptures that we studied two from the Old Testament and three from the New, we see how the Holy Spirit spoke to each one of them in a very specific manner. Same day, today, the Holy Spirit is leading us in the same way he is speaking to each of us in a specific manner in the way that we need to be guided. So let's look at us. Okay. Are we tuned to the voice of the Holy Spirit? Can we hear the Holy Spirit in that specific manner where the Lord is guiding us? I understand there are many voices within us, but we need to silence all the other voices, like our voice, the many other voices and just seek the Spirit of the Lord's voice. Some of us may wonder how do we know it is the Holy Spirit who speaks to us because sometimes it is our own self that speaks to us. Sometimes even the enemy speaks to us, but how do we know it is the Lord who's speaking to us? We have the conviction within us and always the Holy Spirit speaks to, which is aligned to the Word of God, and we'll have that inner peace, the inner confidence that this is from the Lord. The inner witness is the most common way through which all of us, we have been led by the Holy Spirit. As in the previous chapter, we studied on the inner witness comes through our conviction, knowing or the assurance, impression, feeling of the sensation of the Holy Spirit. It gives to our Spirit and here we study the voice of the Spirit. He releases his words into our Spirit and it is much stronger. When the Spirit of the Lord speaks, it is much stronger and it is also clear. In some cases, it is much louder than our own self and he directs us, he instructs us so that we can hear and follow correctly. The inner witness of the Spirit comes through the impression of our Spirit. The voice of the Spirit comes through the words that released in our Spirit. To help us understand the voice of the Holy Spirit, we can see it has been broadly classified in four ways. The inner voice, the audible voice, the voice of the Holy Spirit, voice of the Spirit in prophecy and one more is the voice of the collective witness to the Holy Spirit. There are four. In our notes, we see there are four, the inner voice, the audible voice and the voice of the Spirit in prophecy and the collective witness to the Holy Spirit leading. The inner voice of the Spirit is God speaking to our Spirit. We do not hear the sound but we receive the message clearly. It is like the words, the information of the knowledge coming into our Spirit without the medium of any, you know, or the audible sound. The inner voice often comes as a line or sometimes as a word or a sentence, giving us the instruction or the direction that we need. We can see a few instances. We see in the life of Ezekiel like God speaking to Ezekiel and Ezekiel put it across this way saying that I heard a voice of one speaking. It is an, sorry, the inner voice. The inner voice often comes as a line or a sentence or an instruction or a direction from the Lord. We see two cases, one in the life of Philip. The life of Philip we see in Acts chapter 8 verse 29. Acts chapter 8 verse 29. Can one of you all please turn to Acts chapter 8 verse 29 and read. The Spirit said to Philip, go near and overtake this chariot. So in the chariot there was a eunuch who was reading the scroll of Isaiah. As he was reading, he was not getting an understanding but he was reading. And as the Lord led Philip, go and overtake this chariot, he went, he overtook and he went into the chariot, met this eunuch and he shared the word with eunuch. He shared the gospel with him. The Lord had prepared the eunuch's heart to receive the gospel. As he gave him the clarity and shared the gospel, the eunuch was ready to take baptism and he baptized him. You see how the Lord led Philip. The Lord who knows is preparing the heart of people and at the right time he sends his children to share the gospel, to share the word because the ground is ready to receive the word. And later, you know, in later part after many centuries, we see in the second and third century in North Africa, you know, the church became the center of Christianity. More than one million, you know, believers used to gather in the church. So we don't know whether it was through eunuch, but then I'm saying the gospel can be reached that way. We also see another instance in the book of Acts. Can we turn to Acts chapter 10 verse 19? Acts chapter 10 verse 19. Can one of us please read? Acts chapter 10 verse 19. While Peter was still thinking about the vision, the spirit said to him, Simon, three men are looking for you. Yes. So till now, as all the disciples were sharing the word only to the Jews, they were sharing the gospel and the breaking of bread was happening only with the Jews, especially Peter being the leader. He was only moving among the Jews. But then the spirit of the Lord showed him a vision that, you know, we know the story, right? A sheep came with different type of animals and, you know, the spirit of the Lord asked him to eat and he refused it. And later the Holy Spirit led them. He said, there are three men waiting down. Go with them. A clear instruction. No questioning. Peter went with the three people. You know, he went to the Cornelius house and we know the story. How he shared the gospel. They, again, the Cornelius heart and his family were prepared to receive the gospel because the Lord had prepared, directed them to go call Peter and share what he wants to share. When Peter shared the gospel, when they received it, Peter witnessed the Holy Spirit come upon Cornelius and his household. And this was an eye opening for Peter that even the Gentiles can receive the goodness, can receive the gospel. And this opened the door to share the gospel with the Gentiles. You see how the Lord is leading in the same way to you and me. Even this day, the Lord is speaking with his inner voice with us. The small, still voice is continuously speaking to each of us, leading us and directing us in our ways. Staring within us is very strong. Last class I shared with you all how the Lord led clearly the directions. In the same instance, he speaks to us. He speaks to us and this will lead to an action. It leads to what we need to do. What is what is God expecting us to do in that season, in that time, in that situation. So when we hear the voice of the Lord, you see the outcome of it will be a blessing. We also see an instance of how the Lord led Pastor Ashish to start a church in Bangalore. He was in Chicago in US in December 2000. As they were preparing, the Lord asked them to move to Bangalore and they came down to Bangalore in December 2000 with his family. Pastor is five and with two children. They moved over to Bangalore. The very reason they came here was to start a church at Bangalore. And Pastor had many ideas like to have a big revival meeting and in that meeting, whoever has been saved, through them, we can start a church. But then things didn't work out that way the way he planned. But then the spirit of the Lord, when he was bringing the spirit of the Lord, you know, clearly instructed him saying, start with what you have. Very important, start with what you have. And with that guidance, he took the approval of his parents and he started the church and his house with eight people in his living room. And today the church is grown bigger. The church saw different stages in the ministry and the church is grown. It's all over our nation and also expanding it through the online globally. God can do many things. It started very small. It started very small. And today it's a blessing to the nation and to the nations as per the vision that Pastor carried within him. Same way, as we are seated in our different places, the Holy Spirit is speaking to each one of us. He has given a bigger dream, bigger vision that each of us may be carrying within our heart. Maybe we are wondering how can we start? There are a lot of obstacles. Maybe one may be the finance or we need the support of people. We need the help of others or the guidance or the Holy Spirit is saying, I am the Lord, nothing impossible. What is impossible with me? And today the spirit of the Lord may be quickening in us, but it's saying, start with what you have. This is how the Lord leads. Start with what you have. Second point we see is the audible voice of the Holy Spirit, the audible voice of the Holy Spirit. Can we turn to Ezekiel chapter 1 verse 28 and also Ezekiel chapter 2 verse 2? Aradhana Khambley, can you also read on Ezekiel chapter 2 verse 2 and Rosalind, if you have your mic, he's giving a problem. Verse 28, Like the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. So when I saw it, I fell on my face and I heard a voice of one speaking. Next verse, Aradhana, can you read? Ezekiel chapter 2 verses 2, As he spoke, the Spirit came into me and raised me to my feet and I heard him speaking to me. Amen. Both the verses, we clearly say, they heard an audible voice. They heard the Spirit speak to them. It doesn't say, I sensed. Sensed is when the inner voice speaks. But here it is an audible voice of the Holy Spirit. So Holy Spirit is not a, it's not like something, you know, as what we experience in the symbols of the Holy Spirit. It's not like a bird or oil or a fire. But Holy Spirit is a person just like Jesus. Holy Spirit is a person who can talk to us. He speaks to us. He is with us. He is within us. And he speaks to us clearly. Just like how, you know, in one Samuel chapter 3, we hear the young Samuel, you know, hearing the voice, somebody calling him and he thinks it is Eli who's calling him and he goes to Eli the three times and says, could you call me? But Eli said, no. And he directed him saying, Lord, hear your servant, speak to me. So Eli knew, Eli understood who was calling him. So it is an audible voice. God can speak to us even in this way. Although it is not a very common way for most, but God speaks through that, you know, audible voice and he can do as he pleases. He can speak in the audible voice to any of us as he chose. We should not put God in a box and say, only this way, God can speak if it is in the other way. He is ministering to us. It is not from God. No, we need to keep ourselves open. We need to keep ourselves open. Why are we sharing this? As we share on this, our mind, our heart has been open to receive this kind of experience from the Holy Spirit where the Holy Spirit can can talk to us with the inner voice and now even through the audible voice, rather than as message saying, sorry, okay. With this, we will move on to the third point, the voice of the spirit in prophecy. This is also an important way the Holy Spirit speaks and needs to address it in a greater detail. He speaks to us through prophecy and we will cover this in the coming chapters. Okay, we will move on to the next point, the collective witness to the Holy Spirit's leading, the collective witness to the Holy Spirit's leading. We see Holy Spirit speaking to group of people in a congregation. We go to a church service or a prayer meeting. We see how the Holy Spirit, you know, one person who speaks and he speaks to the group of people and everyone are able to witness it in their spirit, are able to receive, maybe it can be a voice, it can be a word of a prophecy or can be a inner witness, something. It is affecting the multitude of people, the congregation and the people. The Holy Spirit is ministering to each one of them. One instance we remember is on the day of Pentecost in the New Testament church when Peter spoke, each one of them could witness, could understand in their own language. Or we would have gone for a church worship service, the pastors teaching the word and each of us are administered and each of us can witness the power of the Holy Spirit move and convict ourself to receive the Lord as our personal savior. Or it can be an instance where the preacher's preaching on a mission mandate and hear the Lord speaking to each one of them in the church saying that I'm calling you to the ministry, I want you to step out in faith. You see a group of people receiving that call and stepping into that relic. One such instance I remember is in one of our church camp. Church camp of our church has always been planned, pre-planned, okay. We have a speaker, we have an agenda, what time, what happens. It's all clearly pre-planned. If it's for three days, all the three days from the start till the end we know at this time what happens. There's a sharing, there's worship, sharing, we have a time of activity and then one-on-one discussions. Different things have been planned already till night for all three days. So what of the session? I think it was on the last day, I'm not very sure, second day or the last day, one of the day. It was in the morning, we started the session with the worship. So after worship there were two sessions, one the guest speaker had to come and share the word and then we have Pastor Ashish share the word. But what happened? Though it was all planned, the worship started, the worship went on and the worship went on for an extended time. The presence of the Lord was so tangible in that room, in that hall that the worship could not be stopped. Every one way on their knees crying out to the Lord, the Holy Spirit was ministering to this whole group that was present in the hall. The worship was extended. It went on, it went on, which was supposed to be for one hour, it went on, I'm not very sure exactly whether it was for two hours or two and a half hours, but it went on extended. And after the worship session Pastor came and they were filled with the Holy Spirit each one and they started sharing how the Holy Spirit ministered to each one of them in the hall. It was just the worship, but Holy Spirit was ministering to each one in the way they could understand. For some it was through healing, for some it was an inner healing, for some they just broke, they could hear the Spirit of the Lord speak to them, ministering to them. It was the Holy Spirit. So they were collective witness of Holy Spirit leading each one of them. We see in Acts chapter 13 verse one to three. Can one of us please take up Acts chapter 13 verse one to three. Acts chapter 13 verse one to three. Now they were in the church that was at Antioch, certain prophets and teachers and Spaniards and Samuel that was called Niger and Lukeus of Sinning and Manian which had been brought off with erode. The church tracks and saw as the minister to the Lord and fasted the Holy Ghost said, separate me by the bus and so for the walk where until I have I have called them and when they had fasted and prayed and they unleashed their hand on them to send them away. Praise the Lord. Send them away. Praise God. Yeah. So what happened when the leaders were there? You know, they came together and they prayed. When they prayed, they fasted and they prayed and the Holy Spirit spoke to them, set aside Paul and Barnabas for the ministry. Clearly, clearly the Spirit of the Lord was directing and at the same time Barnabas and you know Saul's heart which was later known as Paul, the heart was prepared. They took the instruction and they started the journey. So this led them to go to the first missionary journey that was launched. They went towards Galatia and to the other places and the church was birthed in each and every place where they went on. How the Holy Spirit was moving. We need to be, you know, sensitive to that voice. And also in Acts chapter 15 verse 28. Acts chapter 15 verse 28. For it seemed good. Thank you. For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay hands upon you and no greater burden than these necessary things. So in Acts chapter 15, we see that the first council that took place in Jerusalem under the leadership of James. James who was the brother of Jesus. So all the elders have come for this meeting and we have even Paul and Barnabas who have come here to discuss among the believers. So in this council, they discuss about, you know, how the Lord, you know, sharing, how even the Gentiles are able to receive the gospel and how the Holy Spirit is coming upon them. So all the apostles and the other leaders, you know, they gather, they discuss it out. They discuss here, seeing how the Lord has opened the door among the Gentiles. Now the Jewish have their own custom and the tradition that needs to be followed. Should even the Gentiles follow was a question. And in the meeting, I'm sure they would have prayed. And as they were discussing, they came across, you know, they came, you know, came to a conclusion saying that let the Gentiles remain as they are. We don't have to follow the same custom or the tradition that which the Jewish people used to follow or, for example, the circumcision. And, you know, everyone were at peace. Everyone were convinced with this decision. So, you know, the Holy Spirit were giving them the innocence of peace, convicting them through the consciousness of all the leaders who were there. So everyone were at peace and they agreed on this one decision and they took it further than, you know, in the other places that they ministered. So there was a conviction of the Holy Spirit among all the people who were present in that discussion. We also see, you know, a collective witness among Paul's mission team. Acts chapter 16 verse 6 to 10. Can we turn to Acts chapter 16 verse 6 to 10? Acts chapter 16 verse 6 to 10. Next Paul and Silas traveled to the area of Pedia in Galatia because the Holy Spirit had prevented them from preaching the word in the province of Asia at that time. Then coming to the borders of Mysia, they headed north to the province of Biknir. But again, the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them to go there. So instead they went on through Mysia to the seaport of Trios. That night Paul had a visitor, a man from Macedonia in Northambris, was standing there pleading with him, come over to Macedonia and help us. So we decided to leave for Macedonia at once having concluded that God was calling us to preach the good news there. Thank you. So here we see how the Holy Spirit was directing Apostle Paul and Steve. Exactly, we don't know how Apostle Paul sensed the Holy Spirit was stopping him from moving into that direction. But we clearly know that was the leading from the Holy Spirit. Yes, Paul was all energized to share the gospel to everyone in every place. But Holy Spirit wanted Paul to go in a certain direction where the people are already prepared to receive the gospel. And so even though they had planned to go to, you know, to preach the gospel in Asia or in other places, Mesia or in Biknir, but the Holy Spirit did not permit them to go to those places. But instead Holy Spirit showed Apostle Paul in a vision to go to Macedonia. And when they went to Macedonia, because, you know, Macedonia were prepared there to receive the gospel, you know, the church in the room started. Macedonia is a Roman colony. And, you know, Paul went on there and how the people were prepared to receive the gospel. And he ministered them and the Holy Spirit works supernatural things naturally there. So when we heed the voice of the Holy Spirit, and we step into it, when we take action, you see the move of God happening there. And lastly, very important is for us to test all things, all that we hear, all that has been prophesied, the audible voice or the inner witness or the inner voice or the voice through the prophecy. Whatever we hear, we need to test it with the Word. Is it aligned by the Word of God? And is it from God? We need to, you know, with all reverence, we need to handle it carefully, pray discern. We will be studying in the upcoming chapters how we can discern because the Spirit of the Lord speaks and we must listen to Him. But at the same time, we must be aware that even the enemy can speak to us, even the enemy can imitate just like the Spirit of the Lord and lead people astray. It can give from the same gospel what we read, from the same scripture that we read, it can give us a different revelation. And it has done, it has led many people astray from the Lord. Always we need to make sure that it is the Holy Spirit and remember, Holy Spirit always leads us close to Jesus. It will always be aligned to the Word of God and glorifies Jesus and Holy Spirit glorifies Jesus. With this, I'll keep it open to the class to share their experience as how the Lord led them. Okay, class, y'all can unmute your mic. Okay, next sentence, you can share your experience in certain instance, how the Holy Spirit led you. Ben, can I share? Yes, please. Yesterday, like at our church, we were having prayer in an intercession session and it was very clear how the Holy Spirit lead some of our church leaders. And I, you know, like there was certain lady, she came to the prayer time to receive prayers and she put up her prayer request and like, you know, we were praying tongues and just asking God how to pray to her, you know, and you know, I just fell in my heart. Like suddenly, there was kind of the Spirit of heaviness came upon me and I feel so heavy, so tired and so dizzy. And I'm trying to pray for her, but something was blocking me and I was feeling so strong. And at the time, my pastor came, hey, Jelly, do you feel that the same thing, which I'm feeling like I'm feeling so heavy and something is not right? No. So yeah, we share it, we discuss it and we just, you know, we started to worship God, you know, just invite the presence of the Holy Spirit. And as we were worshiping, you know, I just fell in my heart that, you know, we need to cause the spirit of wishcraft and, you know, spell and we started to take authority in the name of Jesus. And as we started to pray for her, you know, like, I just felt so strong in my heart, you know, like the spirit of heaviness just left and I was just as fresh as I can be. You know, I feel so awake, you know, like that dizziness left, that heaviness left as I come on the spirit of wishcraft and all those spells, all those, you know, heaviness to leave her body and just pray for her, we minister to her. And after the prayer, you know, she also shared her high experience, how she felt like during the prayer session. And she also felt light and she shared that she was blessed to be a part of the prayer meeting. So I just want to share this. Thank you. Amen. Thank you. Thank you, Sally. Thank you. That's wonderful. Yes. Spirit of the Lord can also deliver. It's not like also He delivers us from every oppression. Man. Next, Elisha, Lubeika, anyone? Just go ahead and share the experience of the spirit. Brother Subushesh. Okay, mom. Can I share the experience? Okay. I want to share the experience of my dad and father, how the Holy Spirit ministered to him and called him into ministry. Early in the late in the 1980s, my father was receiving a call into the ministry, lay ministry, and he was resisting because he had engaged himself in some farming activities in the village. So one time he went to the farm and asked, he was working on the farm. He heard the flare or the bow voice or the whole history speak to him that if you don't take care of my flock, I will not take care of your farm. And this line repeated to him three times. And from that experience, he surrendered and accepted the call into LATI. And I was saying then that the Holy Spirit has been using him to do clearly testify that that audible voice he heard on that faithful day was the voice of the Holy Spirit. And then I would also want to share one personal experience. I wanted to engage this young lady that I was about to marry. While the process was ongoing, each time that you want to make, you want to progress the next stage of the preparation, there was this issue that would crop up there and then it died. So I saw that as the Holy Spirit was resisting as clearly telling us to abandon that call. I paid heed to that resistance from the Holy Spirit. And I would say that it is not a regrettable decision because I now feel easiness in my heart. That weight, that burden that was on my heart with that relationship when the process is there was this easiness and comfort and peace in my heart. So clearly that resistance that I was receiving to was from the Holy Spirit. And that is my testimonies also. Thank you. Thank you. Will I show one more person before we could end the session? How the Holy Spirit led you, directed you with his voice, inner voice, inner witness, anyone in the class? Devere, Jeffina, Rosalyn? I want to ask a question. Yes, please. Okay. Clearly we see in the days of the early days of the church that there was this congregational acceptance and validation of the leading of the Holy Spirit. In our times, there are some kind of not fully acceptance. People tend to look down on the leading of the Holy Spirit, the voice of the Holy Spirit as the minister to us, especially in the congregational, in the congregational form. My denomination, for example, when we started in the sixties, our leadership were appointed by way of prophecy. When we meet, the prophecy will come. And as the prophecy comes, we accept that prophecy as the leading of the Holy Spirit, which is the last one particular person as our leader. Now, because of some instances and some false prophecies that some ministers have said, the church leadership have decided that even when there is a prophecy, there will be a casting of votes to validate the prophecy. I know that in the early days of the church, it was done, lots were cast in others. But we have also employed the casting of votes to validate a prophecy. I want to hear your thoughts and perspective on this kind of practice. Yes, it is good. In this chapter when we covered the very last point that we discussed is every prophecy, even our own audible voice for ourself needs to be tested, needs to be seen. Is that aligned to God's plan, God's word? And what is the purpose? What is the outcome? Is it ourself or what is the motto of releasing that? Is it ourself or is it for the glory of God? Is it in line? If it's for the church, is it in line with the church vision mission? Is it in line with the way people have been directed? There are so many ways to look at when a prophecy has been released over a self, over a congregation, we need to see is that aligned to us and test it with the word of God and go with what the Lord says. One instance I would like to share is, the time I encountered the Lord, I had this inner witness within me, like God has called me to serve him. I was not sure about full-time, part-time, all that, but within me, I was clearly directing. I was called to serve the Lord, though I was working. I was in search, like, what is my next step? I need to equip myself. I need to join a Bible college. Where do I go? Which college do I join? In Bangalore, we have a lot of Bible colleges, which is the right one for me. For every small decision, I started praying and seeking God to lead me, seeking the Holy Spirit to lead me. As I was praying one Sunday, a friend of mine said, come, I'll take you to certain, you know, I've taken an appointment with a pastor. I would like you to meet one of the pastor and discuss. So I went with him. This place is quite far from where I stay, okay? It was very far and he's a very good man of God. So he had a Bible study in his church on every Wednesday. It was once a week. So he said, you discuss with pastor so that you can be part of this Bible study every Wednesday. So when I went and I met him, he clearly said no. He said no. You know, okay, God has called you, but there is a time that, you know, for you to step up, there is a time you continue to work and you continue to work, you know, throughout the way, when I heard that news throughout the way, I was so, you know, so heavy. I said, no, Lord, you have called me for a full time. But you know, one thing that I need to understand today, when I look back, I know for everything, there is a season, the right season and God calls you, you can quit your job and come into the ministry. Okay. So even though the pastor said, no, it is not the right time or, you know, go back and continue with your work. Yes, I went back, continue with my work, but always there was a stir within me. Always there was a stir within me that I need to equip. I need to get into the ministry. So God knows the right time. When the right time came, I clearly sense that I need to put down my papers and I started praying God, God relieve me from all these areas and direct me to the right place. And as a Lord directed, I moved on and I see the hand of the Lord that directed me and guided me. So every prophecy, every word we need to test, we need to see, is that aligned to our call? Is that aligned to the word? Is that leading us close to Jesus? Did that answer your question, Elisha? Okay. Elisha, you're there? I'm here. No, I'm here. Okay. Did that answer your question? Yes. Yes, that clearly answered the question. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. We'll take a short break and we'll be back by 10 for the next session. Okay. Thank you. Good bless.
