Sýðubjörg Gunnarsdóttir heiti ég og ég er fostuðkona í Smárakirkju.Við langar til þess að bjóða þið velkomin í hlaðvarpun okkar,en hér ætlum við að tala uppbyggjandi og hvetjandi orð.Ég vona svo sannlega að þetta blessiði og hvetiði áfram til að gera góða hluti í lífni.Lord, I'm so thankful, Lord.It's just the presence of God is so strong here.I could see it when we were praying in the car.And I saw the glory cloud just encircling this entire building.And I realized that that's the presence of Jesus.As we draw near to him, the scripture says, he will draw near to us.And so, Lord, with all of us,with all of our heart, we draw near to youbecause we desire you more than anything else.And we ask, God, that you do only what you can do tonight,that it will not be by power or by might, but by your Holy Spirit.We thank you, Father, for testimony after testimonyafter testimony of your goodness being displayed in this place.We give you glory in advance for it.In Jesus' name, amen and amen.Hallelujah.Let's give God one more hand of praise.Amen.Hallelujah.I will try to speak slow so you can understand,but everyone pretty much understands me, correct?If not, next, nab your neighbor and tell him to translate for you.Amen.But it is such a joy and an honor to be here again with you guys.Thank you.Thank you so much, Pastor Zippa and Ole, for allowing me to be here.It is a true joy and an honor.This is, I was trying to remember as I was flying in,I think this is my 14th or 15th time in this beautiful country.And for those of you who don't know,it was in 2015, 2015,that I was in my room in Baltimore, Maryland.I used to live there.And I was just praying,sitting on my bed.And I heard the Lord speak to me.And he said,I want to give you something today.And I said,Oh, great.How many of you know it's exciting when God wants to give you something?I love that.And I said,Great.What do you want to give me?And he said,Psalm 2, 8.Ask of me,and I will give you the nations as your inheritance.The ends of the earth as your possession.And I was like,Wow,a million dollars would have been,Great,but thank you,Jesus.No,I'm joking.I didn't say that.But I did tell the Lord.I said,Thank you so much.And he told me,he said,Look to your left.I looked to my left.And there was this huge map rolled up on the side of my bed.Now,the last time that I checked,that map was in my basement.But when I turned around,that map was sitting beside me.And I said,Okay.And I took that map and I put it up on a wall.And I felt to take it to my buddy's house.Some of you,you remember Sean,he used to travel with me.He,I took it to his house and put it up on the wall.And we started to pray.And as we started to pray,the Lord put it on my heart to pray for Scandinavian countries.And I thought he was saying,Pray for Scandinavia.So I'm looking on the map for Scandinavia.And I'm like,I know this is a country.I know.I've heard about Scandinavia.It's gotta be on this map.So thank God for Google.God uses Google.Turn to your neighbor.Say God uses Google.Amen.And so I Googled it.And of course,I found out what true Scandinavia is.And I went through each country and I began to pray over each country.And when I got to this wonderful country called Iceland,the spirit of the Lord hit me so strong.And I found out that the spirit of the Lord hit me so strong.And I found out that the spirit of the Lord hit me so strong.And I felt such deep intercession for this country.And I'm like,Lord,what's going on?And he started to speak to me that day.And he said,I want you to go place your feet on the ground.And I want you to go and pray.And so I got,I was sitting down and I got up and I started marching around the room praying.And the Lord said,No,I want you to physically go to Iceland.Place your feet on the ground.They,they're there and pray.And I'm like,God,I don't know a soul in Iceland.This was in 2015,January of 2015.And from that time until now,I have been here 14,15 times.And I've seen God do the most amazing,beautiful things,not just in his body,but I believe in this country.I've seen so many different changes take place.I've seen restoration,between brothers and sisters in Christ.I've seen the church of God begin to rise up.I've seen people set free.I've seen people healed.I've seen people experience God's love in the most miraculous ways ever since that time.And for me,again,it is such an honor and a joy to know that it was on God's heart.You were on God's heart.This nation was on God's heart.And every time that I come here,I want God's heart.I want the father's heart because he has a plan for this wonderful nation.He has a plan for every single person in this room.And as we say yes,and as we surrender to him,that plan will begin to unfold in our lives.How many of you desire God's plan?Hallelujah.And we desire to receive it again tonight,Lord,in Jesus name.Amen.Hallelujah.I feel like I'm on assignment from the Lord during this time.I'll share more on Sunday,but this is a very special time in God's calendar.I'll just say that is so important.I'll share more of it on Sunday.And I really feel it of the Lord to prophesy on Sunday and just prophesy andpray into what God is doing in this season.And I will say this,that it,this next move of God is going to affect anyone and everyone who claims thename of Jesus.Anyone and everyone who says,Oh yes,I'm a believer.Yes,I love Jesus.If you have confessed Jesus as your Lord,this next move of God will affect you.And I will share about it on Sunday.It will even affect you and your life will never be the same.And you will soar on the heights of the Eagles.Like Pastor Sippa just said,or it will affect you in your worst nightmare.I'm not,even kidding.It will shake you to the core of the very essence of who you are.Because the Bible says that God,we are receiving an unshakable kingdom.I didn't say that.This says that.And he says in order to receive in that same scripture,I believe it's in Hebrews.It says in order to receive,he has to receive that unshakable kingdom.He has to shake everything that can be shaken.And I believe that's what we're getting ready to go into.So I'll share more about that on Sunday.And I'm telling you,it is,we are about to see God's glory like never before.And I'm not just talking about signs and wonders and miracles.I'm talking about the glory of God.The God that fully inhabits the body of Christ,the glory of God,the presence of God to where you would be walking down the street like Peterand your shadow will heal somebody.Who wants that?Oh,that would be so good.Or like the scripture says that the servant of the Lord was translated from one place to another.Oh boy,do I want that?You don't know how many planes I've been on this year and translation.Can you imagine being here?And then in one split second,I'm in Seattle,Washington,and then I go from there to Africa.I'm not just making this up.This is what the Bible talks about.Anyway,I'm not going to preach more onto that because I believe again,the Lord has something special for us this weekend.And so I want to encourage you guys to come back on Sunday and bring people with you that you know are believers,even people that aren't believers.Let's get them saved.Let's bring them into the house of God and get them saved because this is now the day.Now is the day.Now is the time for salvation.And we want to receive that kingdom that's being brought.That's not going to be shaken.Amen.Praise the Lord.So,but tonight we were talking a few weeks ago,maybe about a month ago,and we were just talking and praying into what the Lord wanted to do this weekend.And I remember Oli said he felt something about the gospel and I prayed into it.And I just really felt like the Lord wanted to speak to us tonight about that.And so tonight,if you're taking notes,we're going to just call this the kingdom's witness,the kingdom's witness proclaiming the gospel,proclaiming,the gospel.Amen.Hallelujah.Let's look at Matthew chapter 24,Matthew chapter 24 and verse 14.And I'm not sure if we have it on the screen or not,but if not,just look at your neighbor's phone or Bible to Matthew chapter 24 and verse 14.It says this gospel,uh,of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all nations.And then the end will come.Notice it says this gospel.It's not the gospel of any other gospel.It's the gospel of Jesus.It's,it's the gospel of the father.It's the gospel of the kingdom of God.And he's saying this gospel of the kingdom will be preached.It will be preached in all of the world as a witness to all nations.That tells us that God is inviting Iceland into this scripture.Scripture.That tells us that if you have a nation,you are qualified for the gospel to be preached.Isn't that amazing?God did not leave out any nation.He said it'll be preached in all nations.Why?As a witness.And as a result of that witness going forward,the scripture says,then the end will come.The reason why the gospel is to be preached is so that the end will come.How many of you know that there is coming an end?Oh,I'm getting so excited about it.I wake up every day like just today.The day is today.The day is Jesus coming today.I get so excited because I love him so much.I love Jesus so much.I,and it's not,it's not just something to say.It's not something that I say.It's something that I live.I live to love Jesus.I live to love him with all of my heart.I live to love him with all of my mind.The scripture says,love the Lord your God with all your heart,all your soul,all your mind and all your strength.I live to love him.I live to love the ones that he's called me to love.I live to love my neighbor as I love myself.I just love that because I love him so much.And as a result of knowing that,I know that he's coming back.I know it and I get excited knowing one more countdown,one more day closer to the end because this life,this life is so short in comparison.Comparison to eternity.Do you know?The scripture says that we will rule and reign with him forever.That's a long time is so long that there is no time is forever.That's so long.One time I was asking the Lord.I said,why did you create eternity so long?You want to know what he said?He said,oh,that's easy.He said,that's how long I want to spend with you.Talk about love.God wants to spend all of eternity with you because he loves you so much.And he doesn't just have a desire to show you then.He has a desire to show you even now.He has a desire to show you.Every single day that he loves you.That he has a good plan for your life.Jeremiah 2911 says he knows the thoughts and the plans that he thinks about you.That they are good and not evil.God has never once thought badly about you.Meditate on that for a second.God has never once had one bad thought about you.And oftentimes when we hear that we think,well,you don't know what I've done.He knew what you did.And he still chose to think good thoughts about you.You can't tell me that's not love.Just amazes me.All that to say he's coming.And that's why I'm so excited because he loves us and he wants to spend eternity.With us.And he's building his Kingdom for eternity.But in order for that to take place,this scripture tells us this gospel will be preached.It doesn't even say it must be preached.It says it will be preached.So that means whether you preaching or not,somebody's going to be preaching.Somebody's gone.The gospel is going to be being declared somewhere in every nation.Even if Jesus has to do it himself.Do you know?There's so many stories of many people of another faith.In the most darkest countries in the world.Where there's no sign.You can't even act like you're a Christian.You can't even profess to be a Christian because they will kill you.And many of them are turning to the G to the Lord because they're having.Dreams of him.They wake up and say,I saw this man in white come to me and he appeared to me in my dreams.And he said,I'm Jesus.Oh,I love that.What is that?The gospel being preached.Now,if you're taking notes,the gospel in the Greek language,it just simply means the good news.That's what it means.And.It means glad tidings and it refers specifically to the good news ofsalvation through Jesus Christ and the message of the kingdom of God.And most of the I like that that definition that it's not just the messageof salvation through Jesus,but it is also the message of the kingdom of God.You cannot preach the kingdom without Jesus.But you also cannot preach Jesus without the kingdom.And oftentimes when you hear the gospel preached,you hear the good news.You hear,you know,people tell you about Jesus and what he's done,but there's more to that.That's just the entryway.There's so much more.And how do we know that?The Bible says in Romans chapter 14 verse 17 that the kingdom of God is righteous.This peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.That's the kingdom and you cannot have righteousness apart from Jesus.You can't even have peace apart from him.Can't even have true joy apart from him.But with him.You not only are made righteous,you become righteous in every single thing that you do.What is righteousness mean?Righteousness means doing and living the way that God himself lives and does things.And you could look at that and say,is everything am I'm doing in my life?Is this something God would do?If it's not,it's probably a good idea not to do it.Because that's righteousness.Peace.Peace is undisturbedness.From anything and everything outside of wholeness.Shalom in the Hebrew.Nothing missing,nothing broken.It doesn't mean that it's your absent from problems.It just means that I can be sleep when the problems going on.Because Jesus slept in the boat when the storm was going on.Peace.Is.God paid a price.The scripture says the chastisement Isaiah 53 of our peace was upon him.He paid that price on that beautiful cross for us to have peace in every area of our life.Did you know you're not supposed to just have peace in your spirit?You're supposed to have peace in your mind.That's not a myth.That's not just something to say.It's not just something to you know,oh,you can have peace because you keep your mind stayed on him and he'll keep you in perfect peace,but I'm still having tormenting thoughts,but I'm still struggling with anxiety,but I'm still struggling with fear.Come on.Who am I talking to tonight?Is that the opposite of peace?Those things are.So how do I receive the peace that he said that I can have?We just talked about it.It's the gospel.That's actually the gospel.It's not just you receiving Jesus.It's you becoming like Jesus.It's you operating in peace.The same peace that Jesus has is the peace that you occupy.And what's the last part of the kingdom?Joy in the Holy Spirit.Do you know that a sad Christian is this shouldn't even be a thing?Oh,yeah,I'm a Christian.Just sad.I'm always suffering.I'm always in Warfare.No joy.Joy.The Bible says he will give you joy unspeakable and full of glory.That means the more full of Jesus that he.Comes on the inside of me.That means it produces more of the presence of God inside of me.And it results in joy that darn even words for.I can just laugh when I probably shouldn't even be laughing.You know people,I'm one of my dear friends,my best friend.He used to laugh at the most.I'm like,you really shouldn't be laughing.That's that's not even funny.I won't even embarrass him because he's not here,but he would laugh.I would I would just look at him laugh at things.I'm like this person's hurt.And I would see him one time.We were at a dinner table with some friends in Florida and bless this woman's heart.I think she she was a server and she dropped or she spilled something.I think it was a whole tray of drinks or something like that.It made this huge catastrophe or whatever and I already knew when it happened.And nobody saw when he got up from the table and one of my friends was like,where did he go?And I said,he's in the bathroom laughing.I said,I bet you I could bet you a hundred dollars.He is in that bathroom laughing.And when he came out that bathroom,he probably had tears in his eyes because he was laughing so hard.I'm like,that's that's not even funny at all.It's so just beautiful.And I'm not saying that God will.Cause you to laugh when people get hurt.That's not what I'm saying at all.That's not the gospel.The gospel is when life puts you in the position to become upset to become the opposite ofwhat joy is.You don't yield to that.The joy of the Lord becomes your strength.Come on.So that means if I'm weak,I have an opportunity to become strengthened with joy.The Bible.Says through the for the joy that was set before Jesus.He endured the cross.He endured being spit on.He endured being his beard was pulled out it.He endured abuse.Do you know Jesus was abused on the cross?Do you know there's nothing new under the sun?I'll never forget when one of my spiritual.Parents said this.He was preaching and this rocked my world.He said do you realize the the level?Of abuse Jesus endured by those Roman soldiers.There's nothing new under the sun.The abuse the physical abuse Jesus had to be physically abused in every way because we have been abused.Physically in every way.I should mess up your mind.Like wait a minute because the Bible says that he is familiar.With every area that we have to suffer in.The square scripture says he became that for us.He became abused.Because he knew you would be abused.And he took that upon himself.Why?So that you don't have to take the effects of what abuse can produce in your life.That's powerful.That's powerful.What is that the gospel?The gospel isn't just you need Jesus.The gospel is you get to have Jesus and you get to have peace in your mind.The gospel is yes.You've been abused but Jesus was abused so that you don't have to have that effect in your life.Anymore.You don't have to be tormented.You don't have to experience shame.Come on somebody.That's the gospel.And he said this gospel of the kingdom has to be preached.It will be preached where in every nation.That means it has to be it will be preached here in Iceland.Hallelujah.Come on.Let's just give God praise for that.Thank you Jesus for the gospel being preached.Let's turn to Romans chapter 10.I really feel like like there's a teaching aspect to this tonight.If that's okay.I don't normally sometimes I preach but I feel the teacher on me tonight.If that's okay.And so I really want to encourage you to open the Bible and use your phone and take.Notes because this this will help you.This will help you get victory in every single area of your life.Not and just so that when you go to minister to someone you can tell them these things.You can tell them.Hey, you know the good Lord might give you a word of knowledge to as well as someone you meet.They might you might have an understanding that God wants to heal them from the abuse of their pastand you're able to say no no no.Wait a minute.This is something that Jesus.Took on the cross and that he wants to heal you through one time.I was preaching in I'll say this and then we'll read the scripture one time.I was preaching in the Netherlands and this girl.That was in the meeting.I remember throughout the whole weekend that I was there the days that I was there.I would see this woman she was serving and she always it was like.She had this desire to smile,but she couldn't.She would she's very like timid and kind of afraid to smile very to a little bit to herself outsideof when she was serving,but I just remember sin and I was like,why does she want to smile?She looks like she wants to smile,but it's like she can't something's keeping her from being full of joy.And I'll never forget the last night of the conference that we were there.The Lord.Started pouring out his spirit and people were all up at the front.We were praying for people and I only remember how I got to this girl.I I can't remember if she was already on the floor or she came up and came for prayer.I don't remember but I felt like she did come up for her and when I prayed for her,she fell out in in the glory of God and I felt to go down and kneel beside her.And when I knelt beside her,I saw this picture in my mind of this girl.Being abused.Being physically abused by a man.And when I saw this picture,I didn't even have language for it.I didn't tell this girl.I was just seeing this.I'm like,what is this?And while it was going on,I saw the Lord.I saw Jesus.The opposite end of that room crying.Weeping over this girl.Weeping over this girl and I'll never forget when I knelt down.I said,I just simply said to her.I said God wants you to invite him into the place where it hurts.She starts screaming.She start.I said you can trust Jesus.She starts screaming and scream.I said you can trust Jesus.I said he knows what happened to you.I said and not only does he know what happened to you.He was right there.Weeping over you.Crying over you.What is that?The chastisement of our peace was upon you.He was not the one that caused it.But in this moment,he wants to be the one to heal you of it.And he wants you to take your eyes off of what happened to youand put your eyes on the one that wants to heal you.That woman got up with the biggest smile on her face.And every time I see her on Facebook or social media that girlis beaming beaming huge smile bright huge glorious smile becauseJesus in a moment healed her.And delivered her in the darkest place that Satan,you know,when you've been abused Satan wants to keep you in that.Place.He wants it.Oh don't tell anybody.Don't don't don't even mention it.Don't don't say anything to anybody.And the enemy hides in secrets.He hides in when we when we don't the scripture says anythingthat's done in darkness will come to the light and another wayI take it a step further anything that's hidden in darkness.God will eventually bring out into the light,but the enemy wants you to keep it hidden because he doesn'twant the light to come in.He doesn't want the gospel to come in to the darkness.So if you've ever been abused if you've ever been tormentedby what happened to you,I've got good news for you.Jesus bore that for you.Jesus bore that on the cross physically.Also,I believe literally I believe those Roman soldiers probably didthings that the Bible doesn't even say because again,there's nothing.Under the sign.But he took that.And the gospel says you don't have to bear that anymore.Hallelujah.Praise God for that.Thank you,Jesus.Okay,Matthew chapter.No,what did I say?Romans.Thank you.Romans chapter 10.Is this good?Everybody enjoying this so far?Praise.God.Does everyone understand me?I just want to make sure to praise God.Romans chapter 10 and let's go to verse 8.Romans chapter 10 and verse 8.I want to just be conscious of time to as well because I wantto pray for you guys.Romans chapter 10 and verse 8.It says,but what does it say?The word is near you in your mouth and in your heart.That is the word of faith that we preach that if you confess withyour mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised himfrom the dead you will be saved so that tells us and I know I think youguys are going through the book of Romans.They were telling me yesterday that tells us that in order to receivesalvation you have to confess Jesus.You know,sometimes you meet people.And they so I'm a Christian or yeah,I know Jesus or no,I go I go to church.They always say that at least in America.They say that and I'll ask I'll say no.Did you actually accept Jesus in your heart?Did you confess with your mouth?Jesus is the Lord of your life and I don't make it like,you know,a religious thing or anything like that,but I'll feel the sense of the Lord to ask that sometimes becausesometimes people are thinking that they're Christians and or that they reallyare following the Lord and they've never even confessed Jesus as Lordinto their life.They're like,oh,no,I've been in church my whole life.Great.That's awesome.It'll do even better for you.If you receive Jesus,it'll make sense.You know what I'm saying?The scripture says in verse 10 for with the heart one believes unto whatrighteousness so that tells us that the risk that when we receive Jesus that is.The beginning into righteousness.I really want us to get that righteousness is not just you believing in Jesus.It is the entryway into becoming righteous.That's a whole nother message.Praise God and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation,right?We see that first 11 for the scripture says whoever believes on him willnot be put to shame for there is neither distinction between Jew or Greekfor the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon the name of the Lord.Now,let's look at verse theme for third verse 13.Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved whoever so that tellsus here in this nation.Whoever means whoever.Hallelujah.Whoever.Means whoever young old male female in between.Whoever.Because God can change them from the in between to what righteousness lookslike.Amen.Whoever.It does not matter who you are.You can receive Jesus.Sometimes people feel so dirty and ashamed and dark and separated from Godthat that causes them to feel like they're not worthy to receive of his love.And those all just lies from the enemy.You can tap point them to the scripture.The Bible says whoever calls on the name of the Lord open.I'm an alcoholic.Call on the name of the Lord.Oh,but I'm an adulterer.Call on the name of the Lord.Oh,but I fornicate.Okay,call on the name of the Lord.It does not matter.Call on him.Because he wants to save you.He wants you to give your life to him.And you can encourage people with that.And we'll begin to wrap up with this.I know I'm not going super long.So I just,I really feel like the Lord just wants to highlight a couple more things.And I want to pray with you guys.It says,how then shall they call on him whom they have not believed?This is verse 14.And how shall they believe in him who may they have not heard?And how shall they hear without a preacher?And how shall they preach unless they are sent?This is so important.The gospel must be preached.But the gospel cannot be preached without people.I'm going to say that again.The gospel must be preached.But God needs you and me to preach the gospel.How do we know that?We just read it.How can they hear?They can't even hear without someone preaching.When we preach,we become witnesses.We become witnesses of what Christ has done.According to what the written word of God says,but also what Christ has done on the inside of us.Your testimony of what Christ has done inside of you has enough to shake all of Iceland.Did you know that?It can change someone's life.Why?Because you can reach people that I could never reach.And I can reach people that you may not be called to reach.Because notice it says,how shall they hear unless they unless there's a preacher?But how can they preach unless they are sent?God sends you.Somebody needs to hear that.I feel I feel the anointing coming in on that.God sends you.God actually sends you to people, places, assignments, wherever.So that his love can be released and the gospel be preached.And sometimes that preaching of the gospel isn't just oh,do you know Jesus?I want to tell you how much Jesus loves you.Sometimes it's not that because the Bible says some plant some water,but God brings the increase.So you got to know when I'm being sent.Okay,what's my assignment?Am I planting?Am I watering?Oh,or is he using me to reel them in?And he said,oh,no,no,they're ready now.Then the gospel can be preached leading them to receive Jesus.But there's also he wants to use you to preach to sow the seed.I yesterday before I came here.This is so funny.I had this if you don't know me like not only am I a pastor and anyway,get the opportunity.To love on people and minister all over the world,but I also have a cooking background.I'm a chef and have done work on TV for many years.And anyway,all that goodness.So I like food.That's the the main point.And yeah,yesterday my friends will tell you I told them the other day.I was like,you know what I said?I don't know.I'm just I'm craving like real Asian food like real Chinese food.Like Mandarin food and I was talking to my friends and they were in the Netherlands.I was in Amsterdam.We were having dinner that night before.So what's today went Friday.So this would have been Wednesday night.We were having dinner talking about this.And I was like,oh,and he said,well,you should go tomorrow and get some and I was like,you're right.And I forgot the best Chinese one of the best Chinese restaurants in all the world.It's a Mandarin restaurant is in.Amsterdam.Absolutely phenomenal.It's called New King.I think is what it's called phenomenal.So I was like,oh,yeah,I've been there many times.I was like,I need to go to that restaurant.So I get up the next morning and the Lord told me to pray about some things.Anyway,so I did all that did all my assignments and then I was like great.I'm going to go get me some Chinese food.So then I was like going I should walk or whatever and I could feel the I call it the swirls.I could feel the swirls of the enemy trying to get me to pay attention to you know,whatever he was trying to do and I was like,oh no,no,no,I'm not dumb.I was like my eyes are on Jesus.My eyes are on Jesus.I I love you.Jesus,you know the devil.I hate the devil.He always wants you to pay attention to him,but there's not one scripture that tells us to pay attention to darkness.Not one.Not one at all.That says pay attention to darkness.We have authority over darkness and when darkness rears its ugly head,if it's bold enough to rear its head is bold enough to be cast out.I have no problem doing that,but we don't have to chase demons.We don't have to look for deliverance and things like that when it happens.That's when you take care of it,but you don't go out and do that's dangerous.And we're not called to do that.There's no scripture that says to pay attention to the enemy.It says we're supposed to know him.We're supposed to know about his tricks.We're supposed to know the lies that he tries to put in our lives.So anyway,I could feel the swirl and I was like,I'm paying attention and I'm walking trying to get my steps in.I've been doing that a lot.So I'm walking and praying walking and praying.I get to the restaurant.I'm like,okay,hope I can get in.I got in and they're like,do you want to sit up here?Or do you want to go downstairs?And I got ready to sit.I was like,no,I'm going to go downstairs.I'm just following my heart.Go downstairs and like,oh great.There's a table,but I like sitting in kind of like a booth just to help support my back.And I was like,oh great.There's one extra table and I saw this man sitting by himself and I was like,I don't want to sit by anybody.I don't want to and I was like,this man looks like he's going to want to talk.I love people love.I will sit and talk in the dirt.In Africa.I will sit and talk with millionaires and billionaires.I've done both love it,but that day I didn't want to sit with anyone,but I felt just the tap.You know,sometimes it's not I want you to sit down and I want you to go over thereand I want you to preach the gospel.It's always just and I felt the tap and I said,I don't want to do that,but I'm going to go and I sat beside this man.I'm just eating.And he's looking at me.I'm looking at him.Pretty much almost wrapping up my meal.And sure enough,he looks up and he mentioned something about what I'm eating.I was like,oh,yeah,but it's so good.I was like,this is a lot of food and he was like,no,I know I could barely finish my food and I was like,great.I said,where are you from?And he said,I'm from France.I said,that's wonderful.It's the older man.He's asking me where I'm from.I'm like,I'm from America and he pulls out.His passport and it's an American passport and I said,well,that's interesting.He said,I'm actually I was born in Puerto Rico.My mother was Puerto Rican.He said,but my father is French.He said,but so I grew up in France.So that's wonderful,but he's technically an American because he was born in Puerto Rico.And so anyway,we start talking and I'm like,well,tell me about,you know,what are you doing here?He's like,I'm on holiday,whatever.We're just exchanging small talk and I feel the tap again and the Lord's like,buy his meal.And I'm like,okay,all right.And you know,when it's the Lord,because your mind starts going like,wait a minute,but you can't do that because you got to do this and you got to and what is that going to look like?And I was like,I know what I'm supposed to do.So I felt the tap and I was like,okay,and the Lord told me what to do.He said,I want you to buy his meal.Just tell the server.Don't tell him.He said,just tell the server and that you're going to buy his meal.He said,and I want you to write a note that Jesus loves you.So that's all I want you to say.I was like,great,awesome.So we're listening.I'm talking and I'm like,tell me what's the secret to long life?Because he's an older gentleman.So what's the secret to long life?He tells me some things.We're laughing and stuff and I was like,that's so cool.I said,you know,that you're living and that you have a beautiful place that you live in.And whatever.And we're just literally talking,but this man's opening up and I can see that.And so I get up,I show the lady,you know,that what I wanted to do,I wrote it in my phone because she spoke Dutch.So I knew I was like,he ain't going to understand that.So I put it so she could see it.And she's like,okay,no problem.And she even invites me.She's like,actually,why don't you come over here?You can pay for your food.And I told the man,I said,it was such a joy to meet you today.I said,I'm so thankful that I got to meet you and talk.And whatever news like,oh,yes,this was so nice.That was it.So I go,I pay and I write on the note.Jesus loves you.Jesus loves you.And I just put my name or whatever.And then that was it.And the Lord told me,he said,that's all you,that's it.It's all I want you to do.What is that?Sowing the seed.What is that?Some plant.That's the planting of the seed of the gospel showing him.Number one,that Jesus loves him.Yeah.And I could be wrong when I saw this man.I knew I could just tell I believe from the spirit.Unless I was wrong.I could see this man's life.I could see it.I could see just some things,but I didn't have to say that to him.I didn't have to go to him and tell him.I just knew in that moment,in spite of all that,God wants him to know God loves you.So I sold that seed and I was like,I can feel the joy of the Lord.I could feel the joy of the Lord.And I'm like,thank you God.Thank you God.And I said,Lord,when I get to heaven,oh,I'd love for him to walk up to me and tell me the story of what that seed produced.Because how many of you know God when he sows things on purpose,he does it on purpose to produce a harvest.The Bible says that God's word doesn't return void.It accomplishes everything that it was sent out to do.So I'm convinced with all of my heart that man will be in heaven one day.I don't have to know how he gets there.I just had to be obedient to plant the seed.I had to be obedient to preach the gospel in the planting.And that's what it means to be sent.And I had all this extra food with me.And I'm like,I knew what I was like,God,I was like,I'm getting ready to go get on a plane to come to Iceland.And I was like,I can't throw this food away.And I said,Lord,oh,just like you.Bless me.With this opportunity,please bless me with an opportunity to just sew it into someone on the street.And I'm walking,it's raining and I got to hurry up and get back so that I can get to my get to the hoteland get my bags and get in an Uber and head to the airport.And sure enough,I felt like going to this hat shop.So I'm looking,I was looking for a hat because I was having a bad hair day.But believe it or not,I hadn't shaved my head yet.So it looked like part of my hair was growing and part of my head was bald.Thank God you didn't see me yesterday.But anyway,I was like,oh,no,no,I was just going what I felt.And sure enough,as I'm walking back,my heart hits me again.And as my heart hits him,like,oh,and I look up and there's this wonderful man just sitting on the street.Begging.I said,oh,there it is.I said,oh,I said,are you hungry?He said,yeah.I said,oh,wonderful.Here's this whole big pile of hot food.Isn't that awesome?I was like,what's your name?And he tells me like,oh,praise God,Jesus loves you.And I knew see,go bless you.I kept on going.Some people would say,oh,no,that's not preaching the gospel.I think it is.Preaching the gospel is going where you are sent and you don't have to be sent to.I mean,I was sent to another nation.I don't live in the Amsterdam.I don't live in the Netherlands,but you don't have to go to another nation to be sent.Be sent at the grocery store.Be sent at the gas station.Be sent it to your family.Just so the seed of love.So the seed of the gospel.So the seed that says Jesus loves you.Because when you do some plant some water,but God will bring the increase.And I just got this revelation.That's how the gospel is going to be preached to all the world.We sometimes think the gospel is going to be preached because 10 million people are going to come to a stadium.That's beautiful.But I don't believe that's how the gospel is going to be preached.The gospel is going to be preached by you being sent.And you planting and you watering and looking for God to bring the increase.Some of you might not be there tomorrow.So I'll share this in closing.We're having a leadership meeting tomorrow.Maybe I'll share another story,but then,but,I'll say this in closing.If this is okay,just one more story.A couple months ago,I was filming in Savannah with another celebrity chef filming a,you know,a big show and I went to a really nice restaurant was so good.And again,I had way too much food left over.So I always pray if I have that Lord,please let me find someone to give this to always do that.And my mom,spiritual mom,Dr. Heidi Baker.She taught me that and so I had this and I go to leave the restaurant.I'm like,okay,my eyes are open.Who's it supposed to go to?So I go walking down and I feel the Lord's like go down this street.Okay,I'm going down the street and I got my food as I'm walking before I even cross the street.I hear.Ah,ah,ah,and this man's rolling back and forth on the ground on the pavement and I'm like,ah,there it is.There he is.I was like great and I knew the Lord didn't have to speak to.I just know I was like,oh,that's my assignment.So I walk up everyone's passing this guy and this guy is screaming screaming and I'm like,okay,he's vomited.He is clearly in pain and he's grabbing his stomach and he's screaming and I go to him.I said,sir,are you okay?No,no.I said,do you want me to call the ambulance?Yes.Yes.I said,okay,no problem.I call the ambulance.I said,sir,what's your name?He tells me I'm like,okay,I said,hey,I think this guy really needs an ambulance.He's in pain.I said,how much ask him?How much the pain?Is it in 1 to 10?He's like,it's a 12 or 11.I was like,okay,no,he,I said,he's really in pain and they're like,did he vomit?I said,actually,he did.They were like,oh,no,we're coming.So I'm like,great.I get off the phone.I said,sir,they're going to come.They should be here.You know,in America,like an ambulance could take 2 to 5 minutes,10 minutes tops.That didn't happen.It was like an hour and a half.And I just was thinking I'm only here to give this man the food.I thought that was my assignment.So,I'm standing there and I'm like,we've taken 5 minutes.Just turn to 30 minutes.What's going on here?And I knew in my heart,he's screaming,he's screaming and I feel the tap.And I said,I asked him his,you know,his name again.And I said,I said,how did you end up here?He's telling me,he's telling me,I knew he was lying.I was like,did you take something and it's making you feel bad right now?And he's like,yeah,yeah.It's like,okay,okay.And I felt,I shared the gospel.I said,do you know Jesus loves you?What?I said,do you know Jesus loves you?I was like,yeah,yeah.I said,I bind you devil.I said,I bind you devil in the name of Jesus.He starts screaming more.I said,I said,I bind you devil in Jesus name.I said,do you know how much God loves you?I said,do you know that your life is never going to be the same from this moment?Right now?What?I said,oh,yeah.I said,God's about to change your life.He's about to do something so amazing in your life that you can't even see beyond this moment right now.I said,this is a divine appointment.God wants to show you right here in the midst of you screaming to the top of your lungs in pain that he loves you.The guy sits up and he's like,he starts to feel better.He's like,I said,oh,your stomach's not hurting anymore.No,he's like,that's,that's,it stopped.I was like,great.Then we start talking some more.I asked him about his family and stuff.He starts screaming again to the top of his lungs.I said,I commend you to stop in the name of Jesus.I said,I bind every devil that's trying to attempt to thwart you from receiving God's love in this moment.And he really starts screaming that.I said,stop it in the name of Jesus.And I start prophesying into his destiny,start prophesying into his destiny and telling us that you're going to get up from this place.You're never going to be the same.You're going to walk in God's purposes for your life.God has so many amazing things in store for you after.I mean,this was an hour.This went on for almost an hour and a half,probably about an hour into this.This man sits up again with tears in his eyes.And he looks at me and he says,you don't know what you just did.And I said,no,you don't know what God did.I said,I didn't do anything.He's like,he's just bawling his eyes.I said,no,you don't know.You don't know.And he's like,what was going on in me?What was going on in me?You don't know what was going on in me.I said,oh,God knew.God knew in that moment,God instantly set you free.All because he wanted to give you,give you some food.And so when it,the ambulance came,they got him.I never saw that man again.And I still had the food in my hand.And I said to myself,I was like,wow.Thank you,Lord.I said,please let that happen again and again and again and again.And again and again and again and again and again.Why?Because this gospel has to be preached in all the world.And in all the world means go where you're sent.And all the world means what looks like an inconvenience.What looks like,and I can't tell you everyone's at not one person.Stop for this man.Not one,not one person stopped to call an ambulance.Because they could see this guy was.Ík veitir til þess að stilla inn á okkurna reglum hætti því að hér verður alltaf eitthvað nýtt á nálinni.Takk fyrir að hlusta.
