"We're not much in ourselves but you in us is everything, so lord we ask god that you would use us for your glory in a new and a profound way in the days ahead. We ask your lord jesus christ that you would raise up an army of soldiers for your kingdom's sake who didn't don't even know yet that they're soldiers in your army but god you would break through every wall of unbelief and reach the center core of every heart and cause us cause us to rise up and say i'm going with god."

"The answer being that god himself will preach the gospel through a people that have abilities which he alone could have given them it's really that simple that's the way it started on the day of pentecost 120 ordinary people i've shared it probably dozens and dozens of times from this and other pulpits because my mind loves to go back into that room where where they had gathered it was a fearful time it was a dark time there a murderous spirit had gotten a hold of this world." [00:08:02]

"The harvest is already here the fields are already white to harvest and god now is looking for a people just another group of ordinary people like you tonight sir in your home like you ma'am like you a young person he's not looking for super men or super women he's not looking for people with innumerable diplomas on their wall he's not looking for you to argue his existence on the earth he's looking for you to open your heart and let him be god and prove who he is through your life to every doubter that you'll ever encounter."

[00:15:27]
