ESC Shabbat Service: Mission Shabbat Part 2

And I would I would examine myself and out of this, it's like, what are the needs of the lost? Well, I don't really know what the needs of the lost because I'm not with the lost. So so out of this came a whole I mean, this is like someone who's older in the Lord than me, older than me, been in long term ministry, long term, and it it completely reset her, I guess I would just say her approach to being, I guess, I would just say simply based on identifying, as the scripture says, a person of peace, building relationship with them, developing conversations that might start from casual to meaningful to spiritual to unpacking the scriptures.

And out of that out of those relationships, I mean, I have had the privilege of training a whole group of people about identifying persons of peace, reaching out, really discipling them in in house groups kinda settings, which is ideal for, I guess, would just say places where there's more persecution. I would just I would just say put it put it that way. So and that has grown into a really tight fellowship of other, I would just say, believers who were just needing fellowship with others to be equipped to make disciples in practical ways.

But the point of saying that and sharing that is that we each get to choose to position ourselves for our yes. And if you're if you're a young person or someone with some gray hair, I'd like to still say that that's middle aged because I'm counting on a 120 because because I got I got work to do, but I might only have a few months. I might only have a decade. I don't know what I have, but I wanna be faithful. So with that, don't let even the falling short or the not saying yes hinder you from your next yes, but position yourself to say yes the next time. [01:50:58] (45 seconds)  #PositionForYes

Just prepare yourself for the Lord's gonna be speaking loud and don't and don't be like these little kids and say, you know, put your hands over your ears, and I don't wanna hear it, Lord. No. It's, you know, it's best. It's best to say just yes and, like, you however you wanna do this, I'm I'm yours. And and with that, I would just say is, you know, There's a lot more I could say concerning the scriptures, but I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna read this Isaiah two. And my and many peoples will come and say, come let us go up to the mountain of the Lord to the house of the God of Jacob, that he may teach us concerning his ways and that we may walk in his paths. [02:02:23] (56 seconds)  #SayYesToGod

I would just say when when the Lord calls and when he makes his voice heard, just check all those excuses. You know, Moses didn't say, hey. I'm 80. He just says, I don't speak well. So we have our own excuses for our our reasons, and I just wanna encourage you that when the Lord starts speaking to you, just to say, Lord, I'm willing. My little yes is is is enough. And, like, Lord, I don't know how I'm gonna do that, but yes. [01:49:11] (41 seconds)  #NoMoreExcuses

But even Yeshua who was doing everything right, he was still discreet, you know, about what was he what he was up to. And it's for a purpose. It's not for my purpose. I but the but the point is I moved there and started building relationships with those that the lord showed me to build relationships with. And as a result of that, I've had this amazing opportunity to build relationships with IDF soldiers, with young adults, young couples, middle aged, older couples, older leaders who just don't have a a an ear that they can talk to that's, like, won't share their business, I guess I would just say. [01:53:00] (46 seconds)  #RelationalOutreach

But he he he says that, really, however people come to the Lord or how ever come to into my, like, opportunity to speak into their life, think of that as like a plane. Like, you you get on a plane, you go somewhere, and and you arrive at the scriptures. And then when you get there, you get off the plane. You don't, like, you don't you don't, like, evaluate the plane. It's like, you don't like, how did how did you get here? It's like, well, we all got here in different ways. We all have different stories about how we got to surrender. [02:00:37] (34 seconds)  #DifferentPathsSameFaith

There's a lot more, but that's that's foundational to it. And, you know, the the the season that I'm coming into next, I don't have I don't have the answers. I just know the next step I'm gonna take. I know I'm leaving June to go to Nairobi, and I'm I'm a I'm I'm a little pet I'm a sand a grain of sand of the of the giants that are there, and I'm just hoping to receive and to build connection. And one of these guys leads a 40,000,000 member network of of of believers, disciples as a result of of grassroots disciple making, and he wants to come to my house in Israel.
