Populate Heaven, Plunder Hell with Guest Preacher, Bishop Dino Ballao

Bishop Baliao is here with us today. He has fastered two churches and has given them to other preachers and he has traveled the world. We met for the first time because he also again, invited me to be the graduation speaker for Grace Academy here in Elo, Elo. And that's where we knew the spirit was the same. The power is the same. It is the gospel of the grace of God bringing us all together. So church, without further ado, it is my honor and it is my privilege to introduce to you today Bishop Dino Baliao to preach to us the gospel. And would you please stand up and give him a round of applause and honor the man of God in the house. Take it away, sir. - Wow, hallelujah, wonderful church. Happy anniversary. I said, happy anniversary. Are you happy today? Well, let's give Jesus a wonderful praise, hallelujah. We owe it all to him. It's nothing about us. It's all about Jesus. Say it with me. It's all about Jesus. You may be seated. - Well, before I go to my message for today, I wanna thank your pastor, Pastor Ryan Balinsuela. He has been one of God's instruments for me to be encouraged to go back and preach again. Because just like what he said, part of my testimony is, and this was the request of my children. I've been rooming around the Philippines and the different parts of the world preaching the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. So my youngest daughter told me, it's about for you to retire, daddy. Just stay cool, relax. You just visit me from time to time in Thailand. So it's like, (speaks in foreign language) But when I met your pastor in Mindoro and I was telling him I'm about to lay low at the ministry, he told me the way I heard you preach, it's not time for you to park. (laughs) (speaks in foreign language) And that really encouraged me, Pastor. I want you to know that from my heart, I really thank you for that word of encouragement. So today, I really praise the Lord because he did not just encourage me with his words, but he even opened the opportunity for me to come here and minister to you the word of the Lord, hallelujah. Amen. This is a great privilege and honor for me and my wife. That sister Grace, (speaks in foreign language) yeah. Amen. Okay, you have a wonderful team in your anniversary. Populate heaven, plunder hell. Wow. (speaks in foreign language) Hell is not for people. Jesus did not create hell for people. Amen. Hallelujah. He wants the people he created to be with him, to enjoy hallelujah life in his presence. Can I hear a good amen? Amen. So while doing some study on our topic, populate heaven, plunder hell, I've encountered the story of a man whom the Lord has given not a city, not a province, not even a nation, but a continent. (speaks in foreign language) That's okay for you? Praise God. So this man that I will introduce to you is not a city that the Lord has given to him, not a province, not even a nation, that the Lord has given to him is a continent. Do you understand? If you understand, just say amen. You know, that's one way for the preacher to know if he's communicating. Amen? Amen is not a religious thing. It simply means I agree. Hallelujah. Thank you for those who are agreeing right now. Okay. And you know who is this man? He was a German evangelist by the name of Reinhard Bonke. And this is one of the picture of his crusade in Africa. Hallelujah, it's an all nations crusade in Lagos, Nigeria, which the ministry said drew six million people over six days. Can you imagine that, brothers and sisters? For six days, six million people came to the Lord Jesus Christ. Hallelujah. And I wanna tell you what secret is. (speaking in foreign language) How was he able to do it, my brothers and sisters? And I tell you, he was just an ordinary man like you and me. But I'm gonna tell you from the word the secret how this ordinary man did a lot of extraordinary things. Are you with me? - Yes. - Oh, church, are you with me? - Yes. - Hallelujah. He would open say that his life mission was to plunder hell to populate heaven. Hallelujah. This was the cry from his heart. This was a vision burtered by the spirit of God and his spirit, Hallelujah. To populate heaven and plunder hell, glory to God. And you know, how did he get this message? One time, he was asleep and the Lord asked him, what do you want from me? (speaking in foreign language) And you know, what was the answer of this man? Hallelujah. I'm not asking for a million dollars, but for a million souls. And immediately the answer from heaven came. You will plunder hell to populate heaven for Calvary's sake, (speaking in foreign language) I like the last part, for Calvary's sake. Meaning what nothing, (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) I want to tell you, church, he died because he loves you so much. Hallelujah. He gave his life because he loved the people of the world, for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son and that's the Lord Jesus. So that whosoever, I said whosoever, whosoever, (speaking in foreign language) Hallelujah, he died for you. Why did he die for you? Because he loves you and he wants to give you a wonderful and amazing life. Hallelujah. So brace yourself the way because you're going to experience more and more. I said more and more this wonderful and amazing life. Hallelujah. (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) I want to tell you, you will not remain the same. Hallelujah, your life is about to turn around for the glory of God and by the power of the gospel, of the grace of God. Hallelujah. So what was God's answer to this man? When he told God, (speaking in foreign language) I'm asking you for million souls. (speaking in foreign language) You will plunder hell to populate heaven for Calvary's sake. And you know what? In the years to follow, this was his testimony. He said this, in the years to follow, I have seen tens of millions of souls saved. And I tell you church, may this word of this man of God is tear up your heart to do the same. Hallelujah. I thank God because your pastor cuts the spirit. Because the ways of the spirit cannot be thought. They can be cuts. Hallelujah, you get it, you catch it. And I want you to cuts what the spirit of God is saying today. Hallelujah. Amen. Praise God, you are a part of an amazing and wonderful mission in the face of the earth. And that is to populate heaven and to plunder hell. Because as a preacher myself, I do believe that when a pastor's give the team of a church anniversary, it was not his own invention. It was not his own liking or doing. It was something that birthed by the spirit of God in his spirit. Hallelujah. And I tell you church, hallelujah, be one with your pastor. I said be one with your pastor. Cuts the spirit, cuts the vision that from this church, you will not stay in Iluilo. You will be going around hallelujah. Woo, populating heaven and plundering hell. And it's all because of the finished work of Jesus. I want to tell you the work of Jesus is a finished work. It is a completed work. Hallelujah, you can add to it. And you cannot subtract from it. Hallelujah, it is completely complete. And once you put your faith in it, I tell you amazing things, wonderful things will begin to happen, not just in your church, but in your life, in your business, in your family. Hallelujah, in your job and in every area of your life. Hallelujah, let's proceed. Hallelujah, so he's just an ordinary man, Reinhard Bonke, he's a man like us, but what made him extraordinary? He has Jesus. I said he has Jesus. And who is Jesus? Jesus is the personification of the grace of God. (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) Hallelujah, glory to God. And you know what? This is also what we see in the book of Acts. So allow me to run you through the book of Acts. (speaking in foreign language) I said to my wife, you're only given 45 minutes and you have 42 slides. I told her, one minute per slides. Hallelujah, are you with me, church? Praise God, hallelujah. So let's go. Acts chapter four, verse 33. Listen to what the Bible says, and with great power, say great power, the apostles were giving testimony to walk to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And notice the result, and great grace was on all of them. (clapping) Great power, great grace. So many times in the book of Acts, it speaks of the ordinary becoming extra ordinary, all because of God's grace. (speaking in foreign language) Or I should say, (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) Hallelujah, (speaking in foreign language) You know, to be honest with you, I've been a preacher for more than 40 years. When I understood the gospel of the grace of God, (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) Because the Lord told Jeremiah, "Eastern, anything too hard for me." (speaking in foreign language) "What Christ has done on the cross." (speaking in foreign language) I said, (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) I can do all things through, through Christ, who is strengthens me. Hallelujah, it's all about him, it's not about you. For so long a time, (speaking in foreign language) Hello? (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) They will give us step one, step two, step five, (speaking in foreign language) What if, (speaking in foreign language) Say step one to five, (speaking in foreign language) Hello, but aren't you glad? It's not about doing step one, step two, it's step three, step four, step five. It's about believing that by the stripes of Jesus, we are healed. Who would believe that I can still preach like this after my heart operation, after five doctors told my wife, she has only 10% chance to live. But when my wife came to my room at ICU, I was smiling with her. And I said to her, "Let's go for it, sweetheart." Because I have so much peace of God in my heart, hallelujah, glory to God. I've been in more than six countries already. After that experience at the ICU, you know when that happened, after I preach? (speaking in foreign language) I said, "It will never happen again." I said, "It will never happen again." Hallelujah. (speaking in foreign language) Jesus, rebuke the devil, and he will flee from you. Why, why? Because he sees Jesus in you. Do you know that when you become born again, you were united with Christ? You are now in union with Christ? You and Christ are one. Hallelujah. (speaking in foreign language) Because there are so many believers. (speaking in foreign language) There are so many believers who are unbelievers. I ask you, what does a believer do? A believer believes, a believer believes. (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) Acts chapter six, verse 78. And the word of God increased. And the number of the disciples multiplied, not added, multiplied in Jerusalem exceedingly. Say that word exceedingly. (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) Hallelujah, why? Because you are preaching and you are hearing the wonderful and amazing gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is also the gospel of the grace of God. Hallelujah. And not only that, it says in a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith. I have good news for you. (speaking in foreign language) Not all of them, but some of them will become obedient to the faith. (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) (laughing) Hallelujah. So don't hate them. (speaking in foreign language) Those who are maligning you, telling all manners, supplies against you. Hallelujah, don't hate them. Love them with the love of Jesus. Because the truth is (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) Hallelujah, just like what we see here in the Book of Acts. Now, in verse eight, it says, it's teppen, full of grace and power. Did you see the connection? Full of grace and power was performing great wonders and signs among the people. Stephen was not even part of the 12 apostles, right? I think he was just a decon of the church in the Book of Acts, but he was doing amazing things, (speaking in foreign language) performing miracles, signs, and wonders, all because of the great grace that is upon his life. And I tell you, all of you believe in Jesus, you have received great grace because the personification of grace himself is inside of you, living in you. Hallelujah, amen. That's why don't be afraid to pray for the seat. Hello? Don't be afraid to declare miracles. Hallelujah, why? Because it's not about you. It's about what he has done, already done for us on the cross. Okay, let's go. Praise God. Acts 11, 20 to 21. Listen to this. But there were some of them, Cypriot and Cyrenian men. These are just believers attending the community of believers in the Book of Acts who came to Antioch. (speaking in foreign language) and began speaking to the Hellenists, proclaiming the good news about the Lord Jesus Christ. (speaking in foreign language) The Lord's hand was with them. Did you notice that? The Lord's hand was with them and a large number who believe, thank to the Lord. Large number. But they simply preach the gospel, the grace of God. And the Lord's hand was with them. (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) Hello, praise God. Continue. Acts 13, 43. Paul and Barnabas, who speaking to them, urged them to continue in what? In the grace of God. So I challenge you brothers and sisters, continue in the grace of God. I said continue in the grace of God. Some may malign the message of grace, some will speak against the message of grace. But I want to encourage you, just like the believers in the Book of Acts continue in the grace of God. Hallelujah. Acts 13, 44. I like this. The following Sabbath, almost, say almost, almost the whole town assembled to hear the message of the Lord. They did not assemble because of the wonderful hallelujah choir or those who are a leading or a band or a preacher, they are gathering because of the word of the Lord. So whenever we come to church, we're not coming simply to hear who is the messenger, who are those who are going to perform. We come to church because we want to hear from the Lord. Amen. (speaking in foreign language) And you know the more (speaking in foreign language) The city of Iluilo will be 10 upside down. (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) Hallelujah. (speaking in foreign language) The Bible says in Jesus saw their faith. Hallelujah. (speaking in foreign language) Hello. (speaking in foreign language) Because faith always speaks, remember that. (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) Hallelujah. Amen. Glory to God. Oh, wonderful Jesus. Acts chapter 14, long time before they tarried there, is speaking boldly in the Lord. We are not cohorts. I said, we are not cohorts. Hallelujah. We speak boldly. Why? Because we know what we are speaking. We believe what we are saying. (speaking in foreign language) And look, who bear speaking boldly in the Lord, who bear witness unto the word of His grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands. Did you hear that church? (speaking in foreign language) Wow, glory to God. Thank you, Jesus. Acts chapter 14, verse one and two. The same thing happened in Iconium. They entered the Jewish synagogue and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks believed. Do you know, hallelujah, that speaking facilitates believing. (speaking in foreign language) It's time for the church not to keep silent. Hallelujah. Don't be silent. Be in your life. Don't think about the problems. Talk about the problem and the loss because you have no rights in your life. Hallelujah. When you see, don't always talk about the problems, the needs. Let's talk about the solution (speaking in foreign language) And I tell you, I'm one with your pastor. Hallelujah. (speaking in foreign language) Hello. Amen. Speaking facilitates believing. What the Bible says? We have the same spirit of faith. And what is the spirit of faith? I believe, therefore I speak. You also believe and therefore speak. (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) Hallelujah. Three years ago, I suffered a stroke, my brothers, and I wasn't able to walk for almost a month. When my doctor told me, "Stand up. I'm tired. I'm tired of being close to you." But he said, "When you get close to me, I'll get sick." The doctor said to me, "Mr. Balyao, I'm sorry. You cannot walk." Right there and then, I arrested what he said. I said to him, "No, doctor. I will walk again." I said, "I will walk again." Hallelujah! I went back to the Asian hospital. I don't have any more. The doctor said, "What happened?" Hallelujah! I told you, "I will walk again." Brothers, what God tells us is those who believe. That's why I challenge you today. Dare to believe. Dare to believe. Dare to believe the finished work of Jesus. Because according to my Bible and your Bible, hallelujah, those who believe will never, will never. I say never, never! You know, when the word never is used in the Bible, it's always a double negative. It will never, never put you to shame. Those who believe, fear, believe. Because they say, "How can this not happen? How can this not happen?" Your healing has been paid, your prosperity has been paid, your success has been paid. The salvation of your loved ones has been paid. Hallelujah! Stop begging God to save your loved ones. Start believing. Hallelujah! That when one believes in the Lord Jesus, hallelujah, that when one believes in the Lord Jesus, he and all his family shall be saved. Hallelujah! You know, I got born again when I was still in college. A very young man. I was persecuted by my own family. I was tortured. I was released. I was a good girlfriend of my husband. That's why there is a "forever" to the Lord. I became his boyfriend and he became my girlfriend. Hello! There are people shouting. You know, my father-in-law is from here, from Iluilo, in Putotan. Patriarch of the family. A Colonel in the military. That's my father-in-law's wife. Why are you still praying, brothers and sisters? Looking back, since the day I believed Jesus and accept Him as my Lord and Savior, I have nothing to regret. All my hopes are that the Lord will see. I said, "The Lord will see." Hallelujah! But the Jews who refuse to believe is teared up and poised on the minds of the Gentiles against the brothers. Don't be afraid, there are contravidas. There are evils in the minds of others. You will say, "Be careful there in the way. Be careful there in the pasturization. You will end up in hell." Those are evils. Those are the women. Amen! This is what is always remembered. Contravidas are always dead. Maybe you are watching a movie. All the contravidas are dead. You will say to your neighbor, "Don't be a contravidas." Hallelujah! Acts chapter 14, verse 8 to 11, "And at least there sat a certain man, impotent in his feet, a cripple." Look at this, a cripple from his mother's womb. Whom who never had walk. That's where his mother is. He's already dead. This man is sometimes not able to walk. But you know, if you will study the context of that, he heard the teaching of Pablo. That's why the pastors are so important. Hallelujah! What? The good news is coming. One time I was in America, and God gave me a message. How will you know that a preacher is sent by God? How will you know that a pastor or a member of God has sent the Lord? Because there are a lot of things to be said. Hello? Hallelujah! Amen! How will you know? The Bible is very clear. You will know them by the message they carry. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! How beautiful are the feet of those who want, who brings good news. The good news is coming. The good news is coming. The good news is coming. The good news is coming. The good news is coming. The good news is coming. The good news is coming. The good news is coming. The good news is coming. The good news is coming. The good news is coming. The good news is coming. The good news is coming. The good news is coming. The good news is coming. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Oh, glory to God. And look at this. And when the multitudes saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice. Because the Bible says, "Pablo saw this man. This man had the will of God." How did he see that man had the will of God? Because while Pablo was studying, I believe, this is my own opinion. That man, amen, amen. He went according to what the Apostle Paul said. He didn't just shake hands and said, "I will preach and convince you." No, Hallelujah! While he was studying, he was saying, amen, I agree to that. That will happen to me in my life. Hallelujah! That's why the aggressives in the Word of God will happen to you in your life. Do you remember, Marta? What did the Lord say to Marta? Did I not tell you? When the Lord said that, did he shake his hand? No. Hello? Did he shake his hand? Did I not tell you? Believe! Believe! And you will see! That's why others don't see. Because they don't believe anymore. It will happen sooner or later. What will happen if it doesn't happen? What will happen if it doesn't happen? That will happen in two thousand years. So this impotent man keeps saying, amen, agreeing to Paul. Paul said, in the name of Jesus, "Wise up and walk." Hallelujah! (speaking in foreign language) The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men. He did not simply turn the world upside down. He looked at the people in them. Hallelujah! They are the gods. They come down from the sky. Where are the people? Why? Because what they see, what they are doing, these things, they don't do the natural people. And I tell you, you are not a natural man. You are not a humus man. You are not a putic man. You are a new creation man. You are super natural man. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! And you are going to do supernatural things. Hallelujah! You know, I'm telling all this because I want to convince you. I want to fully persuade you, brothers and sisters, because to believe is to be fully convinced, to be fully persuaded. Hallelujah! That's our job as preachers. We're not simply performing here. We are convincing people to believe in the one whose name is Jesus, the one who is the answer to all the needs. Amen? Now, Acts chapter 14. Man, why are you doing these things? We also are men of like nature with you. And we bring you what? Good news! You will get what you mean. That you should turn from the vain things to a living God who made the heaven and the earth and the sea. And all that is in them. So, brothers and sisters, they didn't do anything wrong. They did not use it to make more money for themselves or for the ministry. They told the people, "Hallelujah! This is because of the gospel. This is because of Jesus." Hallelujah! Now, let's go to your passage. Acts 17, 1-4. And when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica where there was a Jewish synagogue. As it's custom was, Paul went into the synagogue. And on three Sabbath days, he reasoned with them. Not from his head. Hallelujah! Not from the school he came from. He reasoned with them from the scripture. Hallelujah! Explaining and proving that the Christ, the Messiah, had to suffer and rise from the head. This Jesus, I am proclaiming to you, is the Christ or Messiah, he said. And some of the Jews were persuaded to join Paul and Silas as did a large number, large number of God-fearing Greeks and not a few prominent women. God bless the women. Hallelujah! Do you know that the first supporter of God in his ministry are business women? I said business women. That's why God bless you, women of the Lord. Hallelujah! Praise God. Now let's continue. They broke into Jason's house thinking that Paul and Silas were of their word. When they couldn't find them, they called Jason and his friends instead and dragged them before the city fathers, yelling hysterically, "These people are out to destroy the world." And now they've shown up on our doorstep, attacking everything we hold dear. And Jason is hiding them, these traitors and turned courts who say Jesus is king and Caesar is nothing. Hallelujah! Amen! Do you know that these women of this ministry, they are unstoppable, brother? No satan or demons, no persecution or death can stop them. They were unstoppable. They can't catch them. Is there such a thing here on the way? I'll tell you three things. Is there such a thing here on the way? You are unstoppable. Say it with me. I'm unstoppable. Unstoppable. Brother, you can't catch them. You can't catch them. Your life is beautiful. You can't catch them. Your life is strong. You can't catch them. Hallelujah! The use of our Lord, wherever you go, you have the message. And the message is simply this. Paul said, 1 Corinthians chapter 2 verse 2, "I deliberately make it simple." Hallelujah! "I deliberately make it simple." What is the message? Jesus! "And He finished His work." Hallelujah! That's our message. Hallelujah! Our message is Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. He said in a pastor, in a conference, you are pure Jesus. Do you have any other lessons if you are not pure Jesus? I said your completeness is Jesus. Do you know that because of Jesus, you are complete? Hallelujah! Meaning in every area of your life, every aspect of your life, Hallelujah! Jesus is the answer. Christ is the answer. He is the answer, brother! Hallelujah! God is pure. Jesus! Oh, glory to God. Jesus! Hallelujah! Let's continue. You see, the devil doesn't like it when you decide to make an impact for God. He doesn't want you to get a burden for reaching the law. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! You don't like that demon? You don't like that demon? You are your mother. You don't want to live, you don't want to live. But you, you use it to get rid of the demons. You are just a devil. You are stubborn. You will do whatever you want, Jesus. But I have good news for you today. Don't be afraid of the devil because the devil is a defeated foe. Satan has defeated him. He said, "I am a devil to you. Finish him." I said to him, "Stop him. You are a devil. Finish him. Finish him, Lord Jesus. And on the cross, he has already defeated you. He has already disarmed you. He has already disarmed you. He has already disarmed you. Hello? You are holding a sword. You are like a lion. You are a lion. You are a lion. But you can't fight anymore. Hallelujah! A preacher said to me, "Be careful with what you say about the devil. Maybe you will come back." You know, many Christians think that. They are afraid of the devil. You know, many people are afraid of the devil. Hello? How can you be afraid of the devil? To somebody who is already defeated. Hallelujah! It's easy. He said, "You will not be able to live anymore. You will not be able to study anymore." I said to him, "This means that I will be able to study again." I will be able to study again. After three days in the ICU at Medical City, I was already walking. Hallelujah! With my cell phone broadcasting. The wonderful, amazing grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Hallelujah! Amen! You will not be able to finish it. He has already finished it. And it's even harder to finish it in your life. Because poverty is synonymous with the devil. Sickness is synonymous with the devil. Hallelujah! When Jesus defeated the devil, He has defeated sickness. He has defeated poverty. You have been redeemed from Satan forever. Hallelujah! Satan today is forever defeated and looser. And you, as a believer, you are forever victorious. That's why just like the Apostle Paul, we say, "Thanks me and to God." Who always, say always. Who always cursed us. Hallelujah! To a victory in Christ. You will always be victorious. I always said, "You will always be victorious." Amen! Hallelujah! Ephesians 4, 7 to 8. But to each one of us, grace was given. According to the measure of Christ's gift. Therefore, it says, "When he ascended on high, he led captive, a host of captives. And he gave gifts to men." Do you know that the number one plunderer of hell is Jesus? Hallelujah! The Bible is very clear. Before he ascended on high, he ascended first. And then in heaven, there was a party. The demons were happy. The demons said to Taning, "You are a winner. We have seen the Son of God, who is full of hope, who is dead. Taning, let us be happy. Let us sing, let us drink." They were happy. Taning said, "Who is that?" Hallelujah! That is nothing but the Lord Jesus. He ascended to the territory of heaven. And from then on, he took the priests. He took the priests. He took the priests. He took it all from the devil. And in Revelation chapter 1 verse 8, it says, "I am he. I am the dead. But you are alive again. And now, say, I call the priests. Hallelujah! There are no priests. Hallelujah! Amen! Meaning is the authorized one. He has power. And before he ascended on high, he said, "All authority in heaven, hallelujah on earth and under the earth, has been given to me." And then he said to the church, "Hallelujah, go!" That means the Lord did not say that you have no army, that you have no authority. Hallelujah! You are backed up by all the authority that Jesus conquered from the devil. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Do I still have time? So it should be our passion to plunder hell and populate heaven. So how do we do it? One, through the power and witness of the Holy Spirit. Two, through the power of the name of our Lord Jesus. And third, through the power of the gospel of grace. Hallelujah! You remember Acts 1-8, and you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be witnesses to me. I tell you, it is impossible to fulfill our mission on our own. We need the Holy Spirit, who is our helper, our teacher, the one who testifies to us the finished work of Jesus. Do you know that, brothers and sisters? The Holy Spirit did that come. Hallelujah! So that you may go again and again and say, "You will be witness to your sins." "You will be witness to your sins." The Holy Spirit is not inaugurated. The Holy Spirit came to testify to witness to us that all, say all, all our sins have been forgiven and cleansed by the precious blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. That's why the book of Hebrews tells us, "This is the witness of the Holy Spirit." Whose witness is this? The Holy Spirit. And who is this Holy Spirit? He is the Spirit of truth. He is the Spirit of truth. That's why it is impossible for him to say all the truth. So what is the truth of the Holy Spirit? Hallelujah! All your sins have been remembered by God. Why does God not remember? Did everyone forget? Did not everyone forget? The blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. When the blood of Jesus was shed, Hallelujah! All your sins have been wiped out. I said, "Wipe out!" That's why you are a demon. Who is that demon? He will say, "That's why your life is like that because of your sin." No! It's not because of sin. Because sin is no longer a problem. The Lord has already lost it. The problem is among the people. The problem is ignorance. The problem is unbelievable, brothers and sisters. That's why Paul said, "I do not want you to be ignorant by brothers and sisters." He repeated that in his epistles. That's why he did not stop the worship of God and the worship of God to the Lord Jesus Christ for us there in the cross of the Calvary. In order to convince people that Jesus Christ is a once and for all, perfect sacrifice forever. Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, the Lord Jesus Christ takes care of his life. That will not be repeated again, brothers and sisters. That's why every time we preach it, and somebody will leave it, that person will be defeated. The Calvary will be defeated. The Lord Jesus Christ will be defeated. Hallelujah! Let's fast. The Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ helped us and taught us to be strong and to live the finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Praise God. Hallelujah! Acts 4, 13 to 14. "Now when they beheld the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled, and they took knowledge of them that they had been with Jesus, and seeing the man that was healed, is standing with them. They could say nothing against it." It's talking about the power of the name of Jesus. Amen. You remember Lumpo? There at the beautiful gate, Hallelujah! Paul said, "I'll just read it. Maybe I'll make a mistake." Peter and John gave the beggar what they had because they said, "Silver and gold, have I none." The poor Lumpo was wrong. What did they say? When they entered the beautiful gate, silver and gold, have I none. But such as I have, I gave unto thee. If I have none, I will give unto thee. It's true, it's hard to give without you. You can only give what you have. Amen. And what does this mean? The power of the name of Jesus. Hallelujah. It's talking about a vital connection to Jesus and the resources of heaven. Amen. Praise God. They were ordinary, common people, doing extraordinary things because they have been with Jesus. Do you know what brothers and sisters? Today, you are not only with Jesus. Christ is in you. Christ is in you. He has left you. You will not leave him. Twenty-four, seven. You are with the Lord. Okay? Let's pray for the other brothers. Hallelujah. Just listen to this. Because of Christ's finished work on the cross, Satan was eternally defeated. And you are eternally victorious. All because of the name of Jesus. Amen. That is why heaven, earth, and heaven are known to all of you. And that name was given to you in church. That's why the name of Jesus is not a curse if we pray in Jesus' name. Amen. You've got to have a revelation. What is the role of that name? In the name of Jesus, all the truth, in the heaven, in the earth, in the bottom of the earth, it is a curse. And in all the earth, it is a curse. It is a God. The pain in the name of Jesus is a curse. The suffering in the name of Jesus is a curse. Satan, the demons, is a curse. In the name of Jesus, we will not be destroyed. Amen. And in closing, brothers and sisters, hallelujah. When you pray, our time is really up. Hallelujah. Praise God. This is beautiful. You know, another thing they have is the gospel of the grace of God. We had a conference in Cuneta Astrodom in 2013. It was crowded. The women were dressed. The other helios were dressed. It became true that they were men. Now in Poland, they are working. God has blessed them. Amen. Hallelujah. Praise God. I have many stories to tell you, brothers and sisters. But let me close here. According to Martin Luther, he said, "Faith is a living, bearing confidence in God's grace. So sure and certain that a man could take his life on it a thousand times." Brothers and sisters, believe me. Hallelujah. Renard Bonkipo has been studying and God is looking for man who dare to believe. And I just pray. Hallelujah. And here on the way, God will raise up men and women who would populate heaven and plunder hell. Pastor, just one more thing. Hallelujah. This will be my closing scripture. Second Corinthians 5, 14 to 15. For Christ's love. Christ's love compels us because we are convinced that one died for all. And therefore, all. Say all. All died. And He died for all. That those who live upang tayo na mga nabubuay pa. Hallelujah. Should no longer live for ourselves but for Him who died for them and was raised again. Brothers and sisters, Hallelujah. May the Lamb of the Lord Jesus compel our hearts today. Hallelujah. Let us give our whole body to ourselves. Not only to ourselves, but also to the Lord Jesus. And I ask you, [speaking in foreign language] Whatever you have invested in the kingdom of God, it may be your time, it may be your talent, it may be your money, it may be your own self. Hallelujah. According to the Word of God, you will receive 100 fold. God bless you. Hallelujah.
