Before we go ahead, let's just quickly do a quick review of what we did last week. Last week, we continued to look at a few aspects on revivals. We looked at the Toronto revival that happened briefly. We looked at that. We looked at the revival that happened in Shillong in India and how, you know, through the Presbyterian Church revival moved across Shillong. And then we also looked at a few key observations of the timeline in church. So how from the 1st century church reformation, revival, there was restoration, there was missions, there was church growth, and then there were, we also saw that there were seasons of revival. So revival at times did not persist for, you know, maybe 10 years or 12 years. It was always usually a period of two to three years. And then again, with a few little few years of gap and then again two or three years of revival. So especially we see that in the Korean revival where there was always two years, three years of revivals that was happening. Then we looked at, you know, those ignited by this revival became carriers of revival. So many of them read about the previous revivals that happened, read about their lives of, you know, reformers and missionaries and how they were able to impact society and how God used them so influential. And that ignited a fire into people's hearts and they themselves became carriers of revival. One of the key observation that we also saw was there was focused intentional pursuit of God during times of revival. It was not just so we have to do it, right? Or there was prayer movements or church services and meetings and all this. Not just because, okay, let's do this because we have to do it as Christians. No, it was focused. It was intentional and God paved a way for revival to happen. And another important thing that we learned was sharing these revival stories often ignites our heart. You know, I'm sure all of us, even as we were going through this, especially from the first century to the second century church, the people who had lost their lives for the sake of the gospel, people who God used so powerfully to stand against the systems that were happening during that time. And, you know, even through the whole season of translating the Bible and different translations going out, the Roman Catholic Church being against it. And all of that, we see that when we read all of this, you know, even now, you know, we have different versions of different Bibles we can just take, read. But the challenges that people went through and when we read it, we really tend to realize that, hey, there were people who lost their lives just for the sake of the gospel in the sense that maybe a lot of them may not have preached but there were people who just wanted to translate the Bible. That's it. But they lost their lives for that. So even as we study all this, God will stir our hearts. You know, that as we retell these stories, they got so wonderful that you use these people to bring revivals and reformations. So let's move on to chapter 4. I'm on page 63 on your notes, chapter 4, reformers and reformations. Now, all through this time, we were looking at reformers and reformations and revivals and restorations and missions and missionaries going out. Now, we see an interplay of words there. Some places it's revival, some places it's an outpouring, some places it's a reformation, a restoration. So don't worry about the interplay of words. Let's just look at what reformation is. Now, something that is formed but it has somewhere along the line, it has gone astray. Now, reformation is simply the act or the process of improving something or someone by removing their faults or correcting their faults or problems. Now, when we see in the second century church, there were new ideologies. When the Roman Catholic system came into place, there were reformers. They wanted to reform what was going wrong in the church. They wanted to make things right in the church. They knew that, hey, this is not right or this teaching, this dogma is not right. And so God raised up people who are willing to make a change for what was already happening and these people were called reformers. Now, they were also called missionaries. They were also called preachers or pastors or revivalists. But most importantly, when there was something that was happening and it had a lot of problems, a lot of correction that needed, these people were called reformers. So they basically reformed things that were already formed. Now, in many instances, these reformers later on became revivalist, meaning they prayed for reformation and they themselves became carriers of revival. Reformation usually paves the way for revivals, which leads to restoration. Some of the reformers that we've already studied was John Wycliffe. Remember John Haas, he was put on the stake and he said, I will make sure that even the farmers will have a Bible of their own. So what did he do? He wanted to reform things. He said, no, the Bible should be available for everyone. Then we look at Martin Luther. Remember Martin Luther, in the early 1500s, he posted the 95 theses in Germany and then that whole reformation movement started. We are saved by faith through Jesus Christ. So Martin Luther did that. Then there was John Calvin, John Knox. Again, John Knox was a Protestant reformation. He started the Protestant reformation where during that time the Protestant movement again went astray. The whole thing of spiritual hunger was gone down. So God used John Knox to bring reformation to reform the Protestant movement. Then there was George Fox, there were plenty of others. George Fox did the Quakers group. Remember we did that where they were the charismatic movement. They believed that there was more freedom in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. They paved a way for their own revival in their countries. Then the same way William Carey came to India, Hudson Taylor went to China. David Livingston went to Africa. Now all these people were reformers and they were revivalists. God used them to reform the church and eventually used them also as revivalists. Let's look at a few characteristics of reformers. We can also say missionaries or revivalists. Let's look at a few of their characteristics, reformers. First one, they had revelation and depth in their relationship with God. So it was not as if these people were like, okay, I don't know what to do. Or maybe they were just praying this one time and they felt, oh, I have to do this. I have to go and make things right. No, they had a deep relationship with God. Now nobody will be willing to put their life on the line just for the sake of translating a Bible or maybe going against the Catholic system or going against the systems that were happening during that time. Only when you and I have a deep revelation and in-depth relationship with God is when we will be willing to ask God to, so it doesn't matter. All the other things don't matter. Why? Because the focus is God and God needs to be exalted in every place. And so very important feature is a characteristic. They had a deep revelation and they have an in-depth relationship with God. And so this is a learning for all of us. Even we as believers, as pastors, evangelists, whatever God has called us for, we need to have an in-depth relationship, a deep relationship with God. Now that relationship can be built only by ourselves. We go to church on Sundays, we can go to meetings, all of it. It's very good. We can spend time in God's presence, all of that is good. But the personal relationship with God is built only during your personal time with God. At ABC we believe in one thing, our personal life, our personal prayer, our personal relationship with God will reflect in our public ministry. So what we do in our personal life will reflect in the public ministry. So we need to develop this characteristic. Secondly, they had the strength to stand alone when it was required, which was almost always because they were the only people trying to bring reformation. They had the strength to stand alone. They were not deterred, they were not worried, they were not saying, okay, how can I go against this whole organization, this one person, how can I go against this whole organization? They didn't think about all that. Remember Martin Luther, he was just that one person. He said, okay, I'm going to write the 95 thesis, I'm going to go post it in the church in Germany and let that spread. And so he was one person. William Carey, again, he read stories of revivals that happened. He chose India, he came alone. He didn't bring a whole team of people saying, okay, let's make a team of 100 people, come to India, we'll have teams of two people each, go to different parts. No, that was not the plan. Alone, he just came and he did what he had to do in India. What about Hudson Taylor? He went to China. He again heard missionaries what they did earlier on. But he heard that a lot of challenges were happening in China now. Remember that China was not a developed country, maybe just like India. It was not developed. And so when Hudson Taylor went, he went alone. Of course, there were other leaders and other movements, missionaries who were there. But he started on his own. So they had the strength to start alone. They had the ability, they had the courage to stand alone for the cause that they had taken up. Very rarely, from all the stories we've learned, very rarely has somebody got chosen like a revivalist or a reformer or missionary who went, started a work and then they felt, okay, I can't do this and came back. Very rarely. Maybe some of them took a sabbatical for their physical conditions or for family. But very rarely we see these reformers, revivalists who went, started a work and they said, okay, we better not do it here. Let's just go back. And they didn't give up. God gave them the strength. And so the same way, God may put in our hearts to do something. For example, it could be something small. It may not be going to another nation and started church. Maybe it could be just like, you know, God is telling us, I want you to do 40 days of prayer or just fast and pray and seek me. Many a times I have done that earlier on where, you know, we start a fasting and prayer and by the time it's the third day say, okay, maybe I should just give up on the 10 days and make it five days. It may sound silly, but it's like we are losing strength. It's like we're saying, we're not able to do it. But one of the characteristics of these reformers was they were willing to go all out for Jesus. They were willing to go all out for the gospel for the church. That was priority. And we see that they were always willing to stand out. Thirdly, they had the courage to speak the truth even when religious, social and political systems seemed large and daunting. They had the courage to speak the truth. Now remember, even during the early 1900s, the new charismatic movements started, people were not so keen on all the things that were happening in the charismatic movement. And they were saying, okay, why are they, what is all this? This is a different style of worshipping or maybe different. The church was not like just how it was before, but they were willing to stand and speak the truth. The early 1900s saw the charismatic movement in a sense that they began to speak in tongues, began to flow in the gifts of the Spirit. Now that was not there in the early church. When we say 1500s, the focus was something else. The focus was get the word out, the word should be preached, all of that. The early 1900s saw the charismatic movement. They saw the gifts of the Holy Spirit. And so people maybe mocked them, but they were willing to stand. They were willing to take up their cause. They were willing to speak the truth. They had the courage. And so again, this is directly connected to the first point where we have a deep relationship with God. Now if we want to have courage and be bold and strong, remember the book of Acts. The disciples are praying and they say, Lord, consider their threats and grant us boldness that we may proclaim the truth of the gospel. That was what their prayer was. Their prayer was not, you know, God destroyed the work of the devil. Now they said, consider their threats, grant us boldness that even through these religious, political, social systems, these large organizations, these people that are coming against us, give us boldness to stand and speak the truth in love. That is why the disciples turned the world upside down. They were just a few of them. You know, yesterday I was just reading the word. I was just reading how Jesus called his disciples. You know, I'm sure we all think of this, but I just thought about it. The Lord Jesus just called people. One was a tax collector. People hated them. The Jews hated tax collectors because of what they were doing. They were saying, okay, you're taking our money and you're taking it and you're giving it to the Roman government. And so for some reason they hated the tax collector. Then you got fishermen, people who don't know anything. They just know how to go fishing. Yet God gave such a boldness to them that they were willing to stand and encouraged to speak the truth. The whole of the Jewish system, Judaism, everything was at stake. Even as they're preaching this gospel of Jesus, everything was at stake. People were wondering what is this new thing, but they had the boldness. They had the courage to stand against the system. And that, again, replicated through the 2nd century church, the 3rd century church as well. So there will be times that we may have to stand encouraged. Maybe now that things are almost getting back to normalcy, we're going back to our offices or continuing our ministry. If somebody asks us, hey, are you Christian? Don't be ashamed of it. Say, yes, people, be courageous, speak the truth. And then, even as we know that, we may not know all the answers in the Bible. We may not know from Genesis to Revelation on the top of our head. That does not matter. We know that this is the truth and we stand for that truth. Stay strong, stay courageous. The next point is, they were willing to lay down their lives for the truth that they believed in. They were willing to lay down their life. Because now, even now during these times, we don't see much of that happening where people are asking, martyred for the sake of the gospel. Meaning, if you don't give up this, we will kill you. We don't see much of that happening. Of course, we see it in maybe different countries. Afghanistan saw a bit of that after the Taliban came in. They were willing to give their life, to lay their life for the truth they believed in. Now, here's an important thing. It's not that they were not married. It's not that they didn't have children. It's not that they were uneducated. They didn't have any work. Many of them were God-used, really educated people who were passed out of Oxford University, Yale University. The Wesley brothers were from Yale, Jonathan Edwards. Most of them were highly educated people. Now, these people, so educated, so high in their worldly standards, were willing to give their life, to lay their life for the truth that they believed in. And we thank God that even during these times, we enjoy the freedom of going to church and the freedom of just proclaiming the truth of the word of God. But in case, going further, if there comes a time when we will have to stand for the truth, we need to stand for the truth. We cannot shy away from it. We should not go away and say, okay, maybe the next time I need to spend time more with the word and only then I'll be able to know. We are to stand and we are to be willing, right, even to the point of giving our life for the gospel. And it's very important that we remember this fifth point. Whenever possible, they use tools and platforms to proclaim their message. And so we see that even in the old second century church, they used tools, they used platforms, they used a lot of their writings. Remember that many of the sermons were translated, were written, and then they were translated and those sermons were sent to different churches. And they used open-air meetings. They used places where there were commerce and business happening. They went to those places and began to preach through and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ. So these are just a few characteristics. There are many more people of prayer, people of power. They were anointed. They didn't do anything without the anointing of the Holy Spirit, right? Another important thing is they did not do this out of the work of the flesh, right? Paul writes to the Corinthian church, he says, the flesh profits nothing, right? So even we in the ministry, we are to always do out of everything that we plan to do, do it out of the Holy Spirit, do it through the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Now, there will be times we have to plan. For example, you're a pastor or you're an evangelist. We need to prayerfully plan. God has given us a mind and so we need to put that mind into work. And then it shouldn't be like, okay, God, only if you tell me I will do this and then we don't do anything for a whole year now. We pray and we prayerfully plan. I remember telling the church this here in our city here, keep telling them, failing to plan is planning to fail. Failing to plan is planning to fail. We need to plan. We need to do things. But we do it through the anointing, through the leading of the Holy Spirit. And so today the church needs reformers. Even as we look at the church now, many, many ministries, many, many pastors. It's wonderful. God is building his church. The scriptures teach us that the gates of hell shall not prevail against him. So the church will grow. No matter who comes into power, let any religious leader, let any organization come into power, the church will not stop growing. That is an assurance we have, right? That the church will grow. Yet we also need to check what is the church doing? What are we teaching? What are we, you know, I'm talking about globally, right? So what are we seeing in the church? I gave you that example last week of the things that are happening within the church. I think it was about three years back. And you may have heard of this, where there are certain churches in the West and also, I would say, South America where, you know, you got these fanatics where they had snakes in the church. And then they use the scripture, okay, God has given you authority to trample over snakes and scorpions. And so they would bring snakes in the church. They would, you know, the leaders and the pastors would play with the snakes and all these, you know, weird things that they do. And recently, I won't say recently, but a couple of years back, a pastor was bit by one of those snakes. He was rushed to the hospital. And when they rushed him there, you know, a few hours later, he died, right? Now, whose problem is that? It is our mistake. Because as a body of Christ, we did not understand the word of God, right? So we took these things and even now it's happening in the church. It's happening in the church, right? So where there is snakes and all these things and weird manifestations. Now, what do we need? We need people to reform these things. We need people who can go and change these. The teaching of the word of God can change them, right? So we always need reformers in the church. Now we may feel, okay, anyway, the Bible is released, right? We have enough versions of the Bible. The church is doing well. Why do we need reformers? No, we need reformers. Remember, we spoke about the whole thing of the gold dust. It's a work of the enemy in the sense that, you know, if it's something that is fake, if it's something that is not of God, we need God to raise up reformers who can stand and speak against that, right? And bring reformation to the church, right? Reformers rise up and they proclaim truth and challenge the status quo. And they help us recognize the blinders we have upon our eyes. So there are times when, you know, especially in Christendom, they're so used to doing things, right? And then it becomes, you know, like a blinder in our eyes. Now, for example, let me give you this example. If we've been leading worship for maybe 10 years, right? And then suddenly someone tells you, hey, can you lead worship for the next tomorrow? Can you lead worship for half an hour? Now, leading worship for half an hour is not a problem because for 10 years you've been leading worship, right? But here's the important thing. The moment we say, okay, I've done it before. I've done it for 10 years, half an hour, no problem. I can do it. Just show some few songs, just sing about it. At the moment we think that way, we have, you know, we have not done our part as leaders because we are trying to do that, you know, that 30 minutes of worship will be out of the flesh and it will profit nothing. But we have to come to a place and say, oh, even whether it's preaching, can you preach for 30 minutes? Oh, I have plenty of sermons in my Bible. Okay, I'll just pick up one now. Because I think we as a church need to prayerfully prepare, prayerfully, you know, through the anointing of the Holy Spirit, through the power of the Holy Spirit, prepare and build the people in the Word of God, right? Many places where I'm reminded of this, what was, you know, many years ago, I used to watch God TV. Now I'm not saying, you know, all the ministries are wrong and everyone is wrong. I'm not saying that. What I'm trying to bring about is even during this time, the 21st century, we need reformation in the church. I remember watching this on God TV. I don't know which one of these, I think it was God TV. And the preacher was, it was, I think at 20 minutes, you know, we get those 20-minute sessions. And the preacher said something, said good morning and all of that five minutes went there. And then he preached something for five minutes on the blessing of Abraham. Now I was a new believer, right? And in five minutes he began to preach something about Abraham and if you be a blessing, Abraham, you'll have Abrahamic blessing and all of that. And after five minutes, he suddenly stopped and he said, okay, now I can see angels around everyone's home. I can see that there are the mighty move of God in your homes. So let's honor God so everyone pick up your phones and, you know, dial this number and give $5,000 and you give $5,000. You will see your own angels standing next to you and all of this. I thought to myself, you know, I didn't know much of the word, I was just a new believer but I knew something was off. And then he said, okay, if you want to see your, you know, your finances met this month, why don't you pick up the phone and give $2,000, then $1,000. He went on and on. And then he ended that whole, you know, 30-minute session saying, okay, God bless you, we thank you and all of that. Where was the word? Where was the preaching? There was no preaching. There was no teaching. There was only, you know, do this, do that, do this, do that. And asking for money and all of these things. Now here's the thing, when we, you know, see all of this, God puts it in our heart, we can pray against. You know, it's not their fault. It's the enemy putting blinders in their eyes. So God uses reformers who will stand up against these things. Right? Yes. Sorry, I think the power went off. Yes, there will be times when we can, you know, let the people know that, hey, these are things, just teach them from the word of God. The Bible teaches us, it says that, we shall know the truth and the truth will set you free. Right? And so we can tell them, hey, this is, this is what it is. We may get opportunities, we may not get opportunities, but we can pray about it. Right? They help, you know, reformers help us break past the limitations we have put upon ourselves. They help us deal with things that we have, you know, accepted as normal, but have become the very things that hold us back from going into the next level that God wants us to go to. Right? And so, yes, even during these times, even now, we need reformation. We need reformers. Right? So we close in this chapter, it's a small chapter. If you have any thoughts, any questions, please feel free. You want to share your thoughts, any questions you have, anybody? Okay. Then let's move on to chapter five. Now what we're going to do in this chapter is, we're going to look at a few revivals. And then at the end of that revival, right, we look at, we'll reflect on what was the main characteristic or what was it that caused that revival? Right? So we look at a few of them. Maybe I think it's about three or four of them. And so we, we did look at them in the previous chapter and chapter three as well, but it was just very brief, but a few revival stories, draw some practical lessons and things that we can consider. Right? So let's, let's look at the first one. I'm on page 64. The first one is the Moravian revival by Count Zinzendorf. Right? Now, again, once again, you don't have to, you know, remember the names and the timeline and all of it, but just the practical lessons that we can draw from this, right? Now, there was the Protestant Moravian believers, the Christians were fleeing from persecution from the Catholic church. And during that time, there was a rich man named Count Nicholas Zinzendorf, and he had a huge estate. He was a rich man in Germany. And many of these Protestant Moravian families came and stayed as refugees in his estate, and there were about 300 people living there. Now, during that time, since there were different people from different communities, there was discord among the people. They began to argue among themselves. They started fighting. But Zinzendorf, even though he was a rich man, he, he was only 27 years old, but he loved the Lord. He went, he said, he held a meeting and he said, Okay, listen, everyone, you have ran away from the Catholic suppression and you've come here. But all I see here is fighting and, you know, discord among you people. And so what is the point of, you know, trying to do this? What is the point of running away from persecution and coming here and, you know, fighting and discord? So he addressed them. And then the people there were touched. And then they were, they all confessed their sins. They began to spend time in prayer. They began to spend almost three hours, you know, a day praying for people. They spent, they started a communion service and every Sunday or every, every time they would meet, they would have communion. They would partake in service. They would partake in prayer. They would spend many hours in the morning, many hours in the evening praying. And this happened for many years. And suddenly during the, one of the communion services, there was a move of God. And there was a powerful presence of God. The move of God went and there was everyone in that whole service were touched. And Count Zinzendorf said in his writing, he says that it was as if we were like in heaven. This revival started with 24 people and went on to bless thousands of people. Zinzendorf, even though he was a young man, God continued to bless him both financially and materialistically. And so he was able to, you know, sustain this revival that happened for many years. There was the nonstop hourly intercession that started. Many people from this Moravian revival went out and became missionaries all through different parts of the world to West Indies and to Africa. And here's the thing, many of them were willing to become slaves to reach out to the slaves in West Indies. And so that was really a wonderful thing. That during this time, the Christian community, they saw that there was no other community as powerful as the Christian community. They were so loving, they were so powerful. And so the entire world would say the globe was, you know, what is happening in Moravia? What is happening in Count Zinzendorf's estate? People would come from different parts of the world and people from here, from this Moravian revival were sent out as missionaries. Some of them who were touched through the Moravian revival was William Carey, George Whitfield, John Wesley. You know, they were all touched. They all read about the Moravian revival and said, hey, we want to do something like this. We want to pray. We want to seek God. We want to see God moving. And so they went in these people, William Carey, John Wesley. We saw that they went into North America and they started a revival in their nations and then into England and moved on. Now, what is a reflection important thing? Let's look at three things that we can sum up from this Moravian revival. First thing we see is unity. Now, in the early initial part, there was discord. There was disunity. There was argument, strife between people. When Count Zinzendorf brought that correction on them, they were willing to take that correction, even though he was just a young man. But they were willing to take that correction. They repented of their sins and they came together in unity. So very important, when we are able to humble ourselves, put aside our quarrels, petty arguments, our differences, and we come together as one body in unity, we will see an outpouring of God. That's what happened in the book of Acts. 120 people, what does the Bible say? It says that they were in unity praying for one thing. That was the move of the Holy Spirit. Among those 120 people, not one of them was praying for their family or another one praying for the sick people, another one praying for Samaria. They all had one heart, one mind. That is to pray for an outpouring of God in that place. So unity is very important. Now, in the church that we see all across, yes, there is unity. But there's also a lot of division. A lot of division. Division amongst denominations. You've got the Protestant, you've got the Baptist, you've got the Presbyterian, you've got all these denominations. And it's causing divisions in the church. Oh, they are wrong. No, they do this wrong. They do that wrong. And what's happening? There is disunity. And as long as there is disunity, the devil is happy. It could be of the smallest of things. Oh, this church doesn't do this wrong. They don't believe in the Holy Spirit or they don't do this. What's happening? There's division. A very important point is unity. We must come together. We should look at ourselves. Yes, we have differences. We have different styles of worship, different styles of preaching and teaching and different styles and essence of conducting church services and meetings and all of that. But here's the important part that we miss. We miss that all of this services, events and programs, all of it is directed to one person, the person of Jesus Christ. But these divisions have caused these styles of worship or has caused division among us. Even though it's a worship to the same God. So we learn here from the Moravian revival. They were humble. The leaders were humble enough to say, yes, we've done wrong. They confessed their sins. They came back in unity. We are leaders in Christianity. We need to humble ourselves. We say, okay, we've done wrong. It's okay to do wrong. We go back to God, ask forgiveness, come back and continue the work God has called us for. That's when we will see unity. In our city here, very sad to say this, but in our city in Mangalore, India has a lot of division. People, they don't talk to each other. Pastors don't talk to other pastors. I went to a pastor's meeting once and there was this group of people. They were talking only among themselves. Then there was the other group of people and those two groups were not talking to each other. And I saw that the first time I said, I'm not coming here again. Because all I see is division and personal agendas. If we're coming together, the agenda should be a move of the work of the Holy Spirit among our city and our nation. That should be the agenda. Two, they responded to the working of the Holy Spirit. They all gathered in unity. The Spirit of God graced them with unusual experiences. They saw an unusual move of God. People began to cry for many hours. People began to weep. People began to jump for joy. People were laughing. People were, you know, there were different kinds of emotions. During this time, what is important is they did not mock the, you know, the laughing and all these, the response of the Holy Spirit. But what they saw was the fruit. They saw that there was fruit in the work of the Holy Spirit. Three, prayer that fueled revival and world missions. Again, the Morarian revival, their focus was prayer. They spent time in prayer. Of course, later on, they all began to work to supply for their own needs. But they did not forget the main thing of prayer. So there were times of morning prayers, Saturday prayers, evening prayers. So prayer was a constant thing. They were fueled. The revival was fueled by prayer. It was like, you know, putting petrol to a vehicle. The more you put petrol, the longer it's going to go on. The same thing with revival. The more they prayed, the more they seek God, the more the revival went on. The up-poding went on. Now, this prayer did not only touch Germany as we saw in Moravia, but it also spread to different parts of the world, touching many churches. And by the end of the Moravian revival, which lasted about 100 years, almost every denominational church was packed with people. The churches began to grow. And so these three points. First one, unity. Two, they responded to the working of the Holy Spirit. They didn't stop the way the Holy Spirit was working. And three, this whole revival was fueled with prayer. And then there was world missions. So we leave these three points. We'll stop here today. I'll start time. So we'll pick up from tomorrow. We'll pick up a few more revival stories. We'll reflect on those stories and take some practical lessons from them. All right. So let's just close in prayer. Can one of us please close in prayer? Charles, can you close us in prayer, please? Anyone else, Subajit? Go ahead, Subajit. Thank you. Father God, we thank you. Thank you, Father God, for this opportunity, for this moment, Father, for teaching us so many things, Father God. And we pray, Father God, that there be no discord among us, Lord, as you let us grow and as you lead us to minister, Father, let there be no discord, Father God, but let it be unity, Father, that the revival may come, Father. The outpouring may come, Father. Father, I thank you for teaching us for the blessed pastor, bless each of us so that whatever we have learned may practice and we may be able to see the reality in our life for God. Thank you. Give you glory, honor, and praise. In Jesus' mighty name we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Thank you so much, Subajit. Thank you so much, Subajit. Thank you, everyone. God bless you. Have a wonderful day ahead. We'll catch up tomorrow. God bless. Thank you, Pastor. Thank you.
