There is jubilation in Heaven

0:01:20.360,0:01:24.680
For hearts that respond to His call

0:01:24.680,0:01:28.840
His Spirit is descending

0:01:28.840,0:01:33.080
To empower us to persevere

0:01:33.080,0:01:37.280
There is jubilation in Heaven

0:01:37.280,0:01:41.520

0:01:41.520,0:01:45.760
His Spirit is descending

0:01:45.760,0:01:50.000
To empower us to persevere

0:01:50.000,0:01:54.080
There is jubilation in Heaven

0:01:54.080,0:01:58.400
For hearts that respond to His call

0:01:58.400,0:02:02.600
His Spirit is descending

0:02:02.600,0:02:07.080
To empower us to persevere

0:02:07.080,0:02:11.360
Maranatha Jesus come

0:02:11.360,0:02:15.800
We are preparing a place for You to return

0:02:15.800,0:02:20.280
Maranatha Jesus come

0:02:20.280,0:02:24.760
We are preparing a place for You to reign

0:02:24.760,0:02:29.160
Maranatha Jesus come

0:02:29.160,0:02:33.600
We are preparing a place for You to reign

0:02:33.600,0:02:38.040
Maranatha Jesus come

0:02:38.040,0:02:42.720
We are preparing a place for You to reign

0:02:43.920,0:02:45.960
Where are those from the West?

0:02:45.960,0:02:49.840
Where are those from the Centre?[br]I want to see your hands up!

0:02:49.840,0:02:52.840
Where are those from the West, [br]East and Centre of Cuba?

0:02:52.840,0:02:57.040
Make a shout of joy!

0:02:57.040,0:03:10.320
Give your best round of applause [br]to Jesus Christ!

0:03:10.320,0:03:14.800
Thank You, Jesus!

0:03:14.800,0:03:19.720
The Word of God says, [br]‘Every eye will see Him,

0:03:19.720,0:03:24.320
even those who pierced Him’. [br](Revelation 1:7)

0:03:24.320,0:03:31.520
This is a season where the church is aware we have no time to waste.

0:03:31.520,0:03:37.840
Wherever you are here as a representative of this nation, raise up your hands.

0:03:37.840,0:03:40.960
Raise up your hands and let us pray.

0:03:40.960,0:03:45.800
Father, in the name of Jesus, [br]the name above all names,

0:03:45.800,0:03:54.240
we give You all the glory, honour, praise, worship and exaltation.

0:03:54.240,0:04:00.080
Yours is the Kingdom, the power[br]and the glory!

0:04:00.080,0:04:05.280
Be enthroned and magnified in this place!

0:04:05.280,0:04:11.960
Every centimeter of this land is sanctified by the power in the Blood of Jesus Christ!

0:04:11.960,0:04:20.320
We declare there is a supernatural activity and Divine covering

0:04:20.320,0:04:24.800
over the three days of this Maranatha Youth Conference, 2023.

0:04:24.800,0:04:26.040
Repeat after me:

0:04:26.040,0:04:41.400
‘Heavenly Father, prepare my heart to be transformed, changed and focused!’

0:04:41.400,0:04:43.440
In the name of Jesus Christ!

0:04:43.440,0:04:48.000
If you believe that, show your excitement![br]Clap for Jesus Christ!

0:04:48.000,0:04:53.720
Are we ready?

0:04:53.720,0:05:20.280
Hallelujah

0:05:20.280,0:05:23.640
Let the righteous rejoice

0:05:23.640,0:05:27.360
Let us celebrate

0:05:27.360,0:05:33.640
The presence of the Almighty is in this place

0:05:33.640,0:05:37.000
Let the righteous rejoice

0:05:37.000,0:05:40.720
Let us celebrate

0:05:40.720,0:05:54.480
The presence of the Almighty is in this place

0:05:54.480,0:06:13.040
Hallelujah

0:06:17.000,0:06:25.120
Welcome to Maranatha [br]Youth Conference, 2023.

0:06:25.120,0:06:29.960
We welcome you from every corner and province of the nation.

0:06:29.960,0:06:37.600
We have youth from Baracoa, [br]the extreme East of Cuba,

0:06:37.600,0:06:43.840
to Pinar del Rio and Pinos Island, [br]the extreme West of the nation.

0:06:43.840,0:06:46.320
Clap for Jesus!

0:06:46.320,0:06:53.920
God has been so good in bringing you here in His mercy.

0:06:53.920,0:06:58.560
Do you know how many thousands of young people would like to be here?

0:06:58.560,0:07:05.120
But you were chosen by God to be here.

0:07:05.120,0:07:11.960
We are at the heart of this[br]supernatural encounter.

0:07:11.960,0:07:18.560
Youth, you are not here for entertainment.

0:07:18.560,0:07:25.120
You are not here just for a program;[br]you are here for an encounter!

0:07:29.080,0:07:33.560
Now, it is time to listen to live testimonies from people

0:07:33.560,0:07:38.400
who have received from the power and mercy of God

0:07:38.400,0:07:42.600
through the prayer of Brother Chris.

0:07:42.600,0:07:46.560
So, these testimonies are [br]to uplift your faith

0:07:46.560,0:07:50.280
and to increase your hope in Jesus Christ.

0:07:50.280,0:07:54.640
So, open your heart. I’m not saying open your ears but open your heart,

0:07:54.640,0:08:00.320
because in the same way God touched the lives of those we are about to listen to,

0:08:00.320,0:08:09.320
He can touch you, your family, nation and everything about you in a tremendous way!

0:08:10.480,0:08:18.880
Wherever that pain has found a point of penetration in your body,

0:08:18.880,0:08:22.160
remember your body is a temple [br]of the Holy Spirit,

0:08:22.160,0:08:25.640
not of pain, not of affliction, [br]not of disease.

0:08:25.640,0:08:30.480
I say to that sickness - [br]come out right now!

0:08:30.480,0:08:36.600
Be flushed out by [br]the Blood of Jesus!

0:08:36.600,0:08:39.120
Be flushed out today!

0:08:39.120,0:08:47.080
What we just watched was when our brother here joined an Interactive Prayer Service.

0:08:47.080,0:08:56.120
Brother Chris was in the United Kingdom and our brother was connected from Cuba.

0:08:56.120,0:09:00.320
From a great distance, he received a powerful miracle!

0:09:00.320,0:09:09.040
Let’s welcome him and his mother.

0:09:09.040,0:09:13.600
Thank You, Jesus. Please tell us your name, share with us your wonderful testimony

0:09:13.600,0:09:16.200
and introduce the person next to you.

0:09:16.200,0:09:20.480
Greetings, people of God. [br]May God bless you all!

0:09:20.480,0:09:26.600
My name is Carlos. I am from the province of Guantánamo and she is my mother.

0:09:26.600,0:09:28.320
Her name is Maryanis.

0:09:28.320,0:09:35.800
I was going through a very difficult situation in my life.

0:09:35.800,0:09:47.160
In search of solution, the Holy Spirit led me to a video from God’s Heart TV.

0:09:47.160,0:09:52.080
I found the website and sent [br]my prayer request to the team

0:09:52.080,0:10:02.640
and I was invited the next month to an Interactive Prayer Service.

0:10:02.640,0:10:11.120
A part of my digestive system known as the rectum was completely protruded.

0:10:11.120,0:10:18.080
I also had external haemorrhoids.

0:10:18.080,0:10:26.760
And after the Interactive Prayer Service with Brother Chris, I received my healing.

0:10:26.760,0:10:32.320
I was not only delivered from an evil spirit that chased me,

0:10:32.320,0:10:41.280
my rectum returned to its normal position and the haemorrhoids disappeared instantly!

0:10:41.280,0:10:50.960
There was absolutely nothing left!

0:10:50.960,0:10:55.400
This problem started a long time ago.

0:10:55.400,0:11:02.440
I’m not only going to share this testimony but my life experience to uplift your faith.

0:11:02.440,0:11:05.280
I am coming from a life of crime.

0:11:05.280,0:11:10.040
I went to prison at the age of 14.

0:11:10.040,0:11:13.960
I started prostitution at the age of 11.

0:11:13.960,0:11:18.880
I was sexually abused at the age of 7.

0:11:18.880,0:11:26.280
So, for many years, I was under the dominion of these evil spirits.

0:11:26.280,0:11:34.000
Many bad things happened to me because I stole and did prostitution.

0:11:34.000,0:11:36.440
My life was a complete disaster.

0:11:36.440,0:11:41.880
It reached a point where my mum,[br]the healthy woman you see here,

0:11:41.880,0:11:46.400
went to a psychiatric hospital [br]because of me.

0:11:46.400,0:11:50.680
I am her only child and she suffered a lot because of me.

0:11:50.680,0:11:56.880
She would have attacks of depression, where she would end up on the floor in tears.

0:11:56.880,0:12:03.280
During this depression, she met a Christian lady who asked her why she was crying.

0:12:03.280,0:12:05.160
She said she was crying because of her child.

0:12:05.160,0:12:08.920
That lady comforted my mother and took her to her house.

0:12:08.920,0:12:11.880
My mum started seeking God[br]because of me.

0:12:11.880,0:12:15.600
She quit idol worshipping in the house.

0:12:15.600,0:12:20.600
And everything started changing for her.

0:12:20.600,0:12:29.640
Approximately one year and a half later, while I was still in prison, God touched my life.

0:12:29.640,0:12:36.240
He showed me that what looked like the end for me was actually the beginning.

0:12:44.080,0:12:49.520
Even while in the juvenile prison, [br]I continued my life of sin.

0:12:49.520,0:12:55.720
Every time they allowed me to go out, [br]I would continue practising those sinful acts

0:12:55.720,0:13:00.200
- what I am ashamed of today but sharing with you for the glory of God.

0:13:00.200,0:13:06.920
There was a time, after they granted me a permit to go out of the detention centre,

0:13:06.920,0:13:10.120
when I came back, they ran a general medical examination on me.

0:13:10.120,0:13:14.120
The result showed I was suffering from a sexually transmitted disease.

0:13:14.120,0:13:18.720
With this, I lost all my hope.

0:13:18.720,0:13:24.640
My body began to ‘disappear’ as [br]I started to lose weight rapidly.

0:13:24.640,0:13:33.840
It was at that moment God intervened as my mum, with her little strength, prayed for me.

0:13:33.840,0:13:38.480
God reached me and I accepted Jesus Christ in my heart.

0:13:38.480,0:13:45.080
Also, someone had given me a New Testament, which I began reading daily

0:13:45.080,0:13:50.720
to look for comfort even when [br]I was not a Christian.

0:13:50.720,0:14:00.880
But that Word touched my heart, God reached me and through His Word, I received healing.

0:14:00.880,0:14:06.040
When I returned to the doctors and they ran another test,

0:14:06.040,0:14:18.000
after I had accepted Jesus Christ, [br]the STD had disappeared!

0:14:18.000,0:14:22.880
Hallelujah! Glory be to God!

0:14:22.880,0:14:27.960
Carlos, what a marvellous testimony of how God changed your life!

0:14:27.960,0:14:32.080
Now, tell us what happened after you were released from prison,

0:14:32.080,0:14:37.040
how God restored your life and your relationship with your mother?

0:14:37.040,0:14:40.440
Before, I could not bear having my mother close to me.

0:14:40.440,0:14:45.200
Because whenever she was close to me, [br]I felt irritated.

0:14:45.200,0:14:47.320
I used to say that she was my enemy.

0:14:47.320,0:14:53.360
If she was in the house, I would leave and [br]if I were in the house, she would leave.

0:14:53.360,0:15:00.720
This was because she opposed what I was doing, which is the love of a mother.

0:15:00.720,0:15:09.800
After I became a Christian, God not only healed me, He saved me!

0:15:09.800,0:15:17.160
In the process of opening my heart to God, [br]I started denying myself.

0:15:17.160,0:15:36.720
And as I surrendered completely to God, [br]He completely restored my life!

0:15:36.720,0:15:47.200
I would like to advise everyone in this place to set your heart on seeking God.

0:15:47.200,0:15:56.360
In 2 Chronicles 12:14, it says ‘he did evil because his heart was not set on seeking God.’

0:15:56.360,0:16:00.800
When you don’t open your heart to God, [br]you will not receive an answer from Him.

0:16:00.800,0:16:05.360
I repeat - when you don’t set your heart on God, there will be no sign from Heaven.

0:16:05.360,0:16:10.800
The only thing that can bring [br]Divine impact to your life

0:16:10.800,0:16:20.320
is to have a willing and surrendered heart. God bless you!

0:16:20.320,0:16:25.480
What a powerful testimony and we thank God for the life of Carlos!

0:16:25.480,0:16:32.640
As we heard, God not only rescued him from sickness and oppression

0:16:32.640,0:16:36.560
but restored his relationship with his mother.

0:16:36.560,0:16:43.920
Before we hear from Carlos’ mother, [br]I would like him to talk again

0:16:43.920,0:16:49.600
about his participation in the Interactive Prayer Service with Brother Chris.

0:16:49.600,0:16:57.200
Please explain what happened to you and your mum during the prayer.

0:16:57.200,0:17:02.680
Then, we will listen to Carlos’ mother.

0:17:02.680,0:17:09.120
During the Interactive Prayer [br]with Brother Chris,

0:17:09.120,0:17:15.360
there was a time I faced a lot of opposition;[br]the connection was failing.

0:17:15.360,0:17:22.160
There was a lot of interference [br]and strange noises.

0:17:22.160,0:17:31.320
I knew this opposition was because of what God was about to do in my life.

0:17:31.320,0:17:39.320
I prayed and asked God to take control.

0:17:39.320,0:17:43.800
At that moment, God truly took control and the connection was restored.

0:17:43.800,0:17:52.040
I started praying, meditating in my heart and I listened to the message shared that day.

0:17:52.040,0:18:01.520
When Brother Chris came out to pray, [br]I felt God’s glory fall on me.

0:18:01.520,0:18:05.120
It took over me and [br]I lost control.

0:18:05.120,0:18:10.840
My body started moving uncontrollably; [br]I was shaking.

0:18:10.840,0:18:15.520
Then, I felt something inside of me [br]was uprooted!

0:18:15.520,0:18:26.880
And when that thing came out, I knew I was released from everything left from my past.

0:18:26.880,0:18:39.080
Clap for Jesus Christ!

0:18:39.080,0:18:50.160
During that same service, Brother Chris asked us to bring a picture of our family members

0:18:50.160,0:19:00.960
to pray for them, so after my own deliverance, I went to bring a picture of my mum.

0:19:00.960,0:19:07.080
I placed her picture on the screen and at that very moment, she received healing!

0:19:07.080,0:19:15.960
Because she was sick with bone pain, [br]on the bed and unable to eat.

0:19:15.960,0:19:19.040
She was in a really bad condition.

0:19:19.040,0:19:23.480
After Brother Chris prayed for my mum’s picture, I went to see her

0:19:23.480,0:19:30.640
to tell her I received my deliverance from God,[br]I found my mum no longer on the sickbed!

0:19:30.640,0:19:48.040
Her appetite had returned and she said she was feeling fine!

0:19:48.040,0:19:54.400
This is to show you that when we seek God,[br]it is not only for us personally

0:19:54.400,0:20:05.240
but if we ask God on behalf of our loved ones,[br]He also hears us.

0:20:05.240,0:20:12.760
God heard me when I prayed for my mum, asking Him to heal her.

0:20:12.760,0:20:20.240
Because distance is not a barrier for God, [br]Brother Chris prayed for my mum’s picture,

0:20:20.240,0:20:24.440
from where he was and from where I was, [br]God also touched my mum’s life.

0:20:24.440,0:20:35.640
God restored my mum’s health and her spiritual life.

0:20:35.640,0:20:39.560
I am going to be brief.

0:20:39.560,0:20:50.800
I am very emotional because I never thought [br]I would be in front of so many people

0:20:50.800,0:20:54.240
sharing this testimony!

0:20:54.240,0:21:08.920
I have seen the glory of God!

0:21:08.920,0:21:24.240
I want to tell every mother [br]that is here right now -

0:21:24.240,0:21:39.360
from the moment you are pregnant, don’t see the child as yours. Dedicate them to God!

0:21:39.360,0:21:48.240
We are only instruments to guide them while we are here on earth.

0:21:48.240,0:22:05.520
They don’t belong to us; they belong to God.

0:22:05.520,0:22:29.520
Mothers and fathers, no matter who your children become or what they do -

0:22:29.520,0:22:35.160
never stop praying for them.

0:22:35.160,0:22:47.960
That is why I testify today that distance is not a barrier!

0:22:47.960,0:22:55.600
Because it was God who brought all of us here today.

0:22:55.600,0:22:59.720
Let us lay our burdens before Christ.

0:22:59.720,0:23:14.120
He is the only One who can rescue us, [br]in the name of Jesus!

0:23:14.120,0:23:18.760
Put your hands together for Jesus Christ!

0:23:32.160,0:23:42.760
Enter into worship. Worship Him with a humble heart before His presence.

0:23:42.760,0:23:55.640
God will not reject you; [br]you have access to the Father.

0:23:55.640,0:24:04.160
Fill my room [br]Do it now

0:24:04.160,0:24:11.920
I will close the door and in secret[br]You will see me

0:24:11.920,0:24:20.360
I did not come here today for a reward

0:24:20.360,0:24:29.480
I came for the pleasure of being only[br]In Your presence

0:24:29.480,0:24:36.920
For there is no place[br]That I can compare

0:24:36.920,0:24:43.360
To where alone I can adore You

0:24:43.360,0:24:51.600
I pour out my perfume[br]Nothing else in the world matters

0:24:51.600,0:24:59.800
There is nothing in this world[br]That matches Your gaze

0:24:59.800,0:25:08.080
Perfect was that Cross[br]That gave me access

0:25:08.080,0:25:17.360
So that I could find You[br]In my secret place

0:25:17.360,0:25:25.400
Fill my room [br]Do it now

0:25:25.400,0:25:32.720
I will close the door and in secret[br]You will see me

0:25:32.720,0:25:40.600
I did not come here[br]Today for a reward

0:25:40.600,0:25:48.200
I came for the pleasure of being only[br]In Your presence

0:25:48.200,0:25:55.840
For there is no place that[br]I can compare

0:25:55.840,0:26:03.240
To where alone I can adore You

0:26:03.240,0:26:10.720
For there is no place that[br]I can compare

0:26:10.720,0:26:15.880
To where alone I can adore You

0:26:15.880,0:26:22.920
I pour out my perfume[br]Nothing else in the world matters

0:26:22.920,0:26:30.280
There is nothing in this world[br]That matches Your gaze

0:26:30.280,0:26:37.000
Perfect was that Cross[br]That gave me access

0:26:37.000,0:26:44.720
So that I could find You[br]In my secret place

0:26:44.720,0:26:51.680
I pour out my perfume[br]Nothing else in the world matters

0:26:51.680,0:26:58.720
There is nothing in this world[br]That matches Your gaze

0:26:58.720,0:27:05.760
Perfect was that Cross[br]That gave me access

0:27:05.760,0:27:14.400
So that I could find You[br]In my secret place

0:27:14.400,0:27:21.680
For there is no place that[br]I can compare

0:27:21.680,0:27:29.360
To where alone I can adore You

0:27:29.360,0:27:37.960
For there is no place that[br]I can compare

0:27:37.960,0:27:43.480
To where alone I can adore You

0:27:43.480,0:27:52.320
I pour out my perfume[br]Nothing else in the world matters

0:27:52.320,0:28:01.160
There is nothing in this world[br]That matches Your gaze

0:28:01.160,0:28:10.040
Perfect was that Cross[br]That gave me access

0:28:10.040,0:28:16.720
So that I could find You[br]In my secret place

0:28:18.080,0:28:25.680
Church, this morning, we have a wholesome spiritual meal for you.

0:28:25.680,0:28:32.760
Show your excitement for that!

0:28:32.760,0:28:40.440
God has brought us this morning [br]a very special couple.

0:28:40.440,0:28:48.080
For more than 20 years, [br]Gary and his wife, Fiona,

0:28:48.080,0:28:52.640
the biological parents of Brother Chris,

0:28:52.640,0:29:01.240
were working with Prophet T.B. Joshua in missions all over the world.

0:29:19.760,0:29:27.400
Thank you very much.[br]You may be seated.

0:29:27.400,0:29:33.680
Greetings in Jesus’ name!

0:29:33.680,0:29:40.040
We are very happy to be here with you.

0:29:40.040,0:29:50.960
Before Gary comes to preach, I want to encourage you that God is faithful

0:29:50.960,0:29:57.160
when we put our trust in Him[br]and our trust is steadfast.

0:30:03.200,0:30:11.840
I’d like to start today by telling you a little bit of my story

0:30:11.840,0:30:23.280
and I’m going to go back 50 years to the year 1973.

0:30:23.280,0:30:33.560
That was the year when both[br]Fiona and I found Jesus.

0:30:33.560,0:30:37.440
We were in different parts of the country -

0:30:37.440,0:30:41.600
we weren’t going to meet each other [br]for another five years,

0:30:48.840,0:30:56.080
The same month in May 1973 -

0:30:56.080,0:31:01.560
we had an encounter with Jesus Christ.

0:31:01.560,0:31:11.600
And to say that it changed my life[br]is an understatement!

0:31:11.600,0:31:17.200
Because for me, [br]I knew nothing about Christianity -

0:31:17.200,0:31:26.720
I’d never been into a church [br]in my life, when I was 15.

0:31:26.720,0:31:32.000
I thought I was an atheist!

0:31:32.000,0:31:39.120
Actually, I was just a young, [br]growing teenager

0:31:39.120,0:31:42.120
who was very mixed up and needed God.

0:31:48.120,0:32:02.520
I found myself attending a Bible study[br]at school every week.

0:32:02.520,0:32:13.680
Now, at that time it was fashionable [br]to be a rebel - to be rebellious.

0:32:13.680,0:32:19.120
And like all teenagers of that time, [br]I was trying to work out

0:32:19.120,0:32:23.560
whether I should rebel against [br]everything that went before -

0:32:23.560,0:32:25.520
my parents, everything!

0:32:25.520,0:32:31.280
Or whether I should conform with what seemed to be the standard.

0:32:41.360,0:32:46.760
But there was something about these Christians that really caught my attention!

0:32:46.760,0:32:53.520
Because on the outside,[br]they seemed quite ‘straight’.

0:32:53.520,0:32:59.080
They didn’t act in a rebellious way.

0:33:04.440,0:33:08.760
But they were actually different!

0:33:08.760,0:33:13.640
And I realised that the people who were conforming with the crowd

0:33:13.640,0:33:17.480
were all these people who were rebelling!

0:33:24.120,0:33:33.200
And the different thing about these Christians is they were actually happy!

0:33:33.200,0:33:41.080
So, I went on a journey [br]of asking lots of questions.

0:33:41.080,0:33:44.880
They gave me a copy of the [br]New Testament - I didn’t know it.

0:33:44.880,0:33:49.040
I’d never seen it before; I started to read.

0:33:51.560,0:34:00.640
Most of my questions -[br]they were not able to answer.

0:34:00.640,0:34:05.960
But one night - I remember it still today -

0:34:05.960,0:34:13.280
over 50 years ago, a friend of mine[br]said to me,

0:34:13.280,0:34:21.160
‘You need to ask Jesus, [br]to show you that He is real.’

0:34:29.120,0:34:36.080
And so that night, on the bus going home,

0:34:36.080,0:34:41.640
I decided I was going to pray.

0:34:41.640,0:34:46.600
For the first time in my life!

0:34:46.600,0:34:56.880
I said, ‘Jesus, if You’re real, [br]please show Yourself to me

0:34:56.880,0:35:03.480
and I will give my life to You!’

0:35:03.480,0:35:08.240
Now, something happened!

0:35:08.240,0:35:16.720
I can’t really explain it, [br]and I don’t know what happened naturally

0:35:16.720,0:35:20.520
but when I said that prayer,

0:35:20.520,0:35:32.000
a physical and a spiritual light[br]came over me

0:35:32.000,0:35:35.920
God changed my heart!

0:35:35.920,0:35:40.320
And what I noticed immediately - and I still remember it was while I was sat

0:35:40.320,0:35:43.280
on the same bus before it reached home -

0:35:47.920,0:35:55.760
I decided that I now believed the Bible.

0:35:55.760,0:36:02.800
So, I was no longer trying to work out whether it was true or not.

0:36:02.800,0:36:07.600
I decided I believed it was true, [br]as an act of faith

0:36:07.600,0:36:10.160
because I believed Jesus [br]had showed me He was real.

0:36:10.160,0:36:16.160
I believed it was true, and I was going to try and live my life according to it.

0:36:24.120,0:36:34.520
Now, at that time, as I said, [br]I didn’t know very much about Christianity.

0:36:34.520,0:36:43.000
And there was probably quite a lot [br]that was wrong with my life.

0:36:43.000,0:36:51.480
But as I look back now, [br]over those fifty years,

0:36:51.480,0:37:00.320
that was the most [br]important thing that I ever did.

0:37:00.320,0:37:08.560
I believe I made a lot [br]of mistakes and still do.

0:37:08.560,0:37:19.320
But there’s something about meaning it.

0:37:19.320,0:37:22.360
This is something where [br]we are dealing with reality -

0:37:22.360,0:37:24.240
we are dealing with truth.

0:37:29.480,0:37:33.680
And that’s a matter of the heart.

0:37:33.680,0:37:47.360
And this is a mystery really, [br]but when you mean it, God comes in!

0:37:47.360,0:37:52.120
My parents didn’t quite know [br]what had happened to me

0:37:52.120,0:37:56.640
and thought it was a new hobby!

0:38:03.680,0:38:08.680
Because at that age, I had a number [br]of things I got enthusiastic about,

0:38:08.680,0:38:14.320
whether it was collecting stamps [br]or watching football

0:38:14.320,0:38:16.120
or going to rock concerts -

0:38:16.120,0:38:19.160
there were all kinds of things[br]I’d been enthusiastic about

0:38:19.160,0:38:22.440
and they thought this was [br]another of those things.

0:38:36.480,0:38:42.080
But the title of the message [br]I want to bring to you today

0:38:42.080,0:38:49.600
is ‘Christianity is not a hobby’.

0:38:49.600,0:39:06.480
So, please tell your neighbour - [br]Christianity is not a hobby!

0:39:06.480,0:39:12.840
One thing about a hobby -

0:39:12.840,0:39:19.240
you can be very passionate about it.

0:39:19.240,0:39:41.760
But in the hierarchy of important things in life, it comes below your preferences and opinions.

0:39:41.760,0:39:46.360
So, if you change your preferences, [br]or change your opinions -

0:39:46.360,0:39:49.200
you can change your hobby.

0:39:55.640,0:40:01.840
Christianity is not at that level.

0:40:01.840,0:40:08.760
It’s at this level!

0:40:08.760,0:40:16.320
It’s above my opinions, [br]and it’s above my preferences!

0:40:16.320,0:40:29.560
It’s possible to read the Bible,[br]looking for things to justify our opinions.

0:40:29.560,0:40:37.480
But you need to open the Word of God, and let God speak to you.

0:40:37.480,0:40:41.080
One of the things I love [br]that Prophet T.B. Joshua said is,

0:40:41.080,0:40:47.520
‘The Bible should be the database [br]for our personal opinions.’

0:40:58.920,0:41:09.160
So, I don’t come to try and make sense of the Bible in the light of my opinions and experiences.

0:41:09.160,0:41:15.920
I come to my life and my experiences and make sense of them through the Bible!

0:41:26.800,0:41:38.160
God’s Word is a direction for life,[br]not just advice.

0:41:38.160,0:41:43.360
So, we need some humility.

0:41:43.360,0:41:54.680
True humility is total dependence [br]on God for everything.

0:41:54.680,0:42:01.320
Now, another thing about a hobby -

0:42:01.320,0:42:11.160
a hobby can also coexist [br]with other priorities.

0:42:11.160,0:42:20.080
It can be one of those things [br]that we are interested in.

0:42:20.080,0:42:26.040
Christianity is not one of those things -

0:42:26.040,0:42:31.320
it’s the whole thing!

0:42:31.320,0:42:34.520
Does that mean that I have no interests?

0:42:34.520,0:42:38.200
I talk about nothing else but [br]religious language? No!

0:42:45.600,0:42:50.920
But I understand everything -[br]my relationships, my work,

0:42:50.920,0:42:53.800
what I feel about myself, [br]what I feel about other people,

0:42:53.800,0:42:55.280
what’s going to happen when I die -

0:42:55.280,0:43:02.520
everything about me, I understand through the God who created me.

0:43:02.520,0:43:16.320
For the first Scripture that I want to read today, I want to read Matthew 6:24.

0:43:16.320,0:43:23.880
“No one can serve two masters.

0:43:23.880,0:43:31.040
Either he will hate the one [br]and love the other,

0:43:31.040,0:43:37.560
or he will be devoted to one and despise the other.

0:43:37.560,0:43:45.880
You cannot serve both God and mammon.”

0:43:45.880,0:43:54.840
It’s not only money; I think it represents everything that money can buy.

0:43:54.840,0:44:05.920
This physical world we all physically engage with.

0:44:05.920,0:44:19.400
The god of this world and God, who created us - you can’t serve both of them.

0:44:19.400,0:44:29.320
Your life direction is either decided by things eternal and what God is saying,

0:44:29.320,0:44:34.440
or it’s decided by things here, [br]which your senses are telling you.

0:44:44.280,0:44:47.440
And if you’re a true servant of God,[br]you’re not a servant of the world

0:44:47.440,0:44:50.640
and if you’re a servant of the world,[br]you’re not a servant of God.

0:45:00.120,0:45:01.680
You may have done the same as me -

0:45:01.680,0:45:06.400
you may have declared that commitment to Jesus, and you meant it -

0:45:06.400,0:45:08.560
you were going to follow Him!

0:45:14.040,0:45:22.280
But there are still daily decisions as to whether we obey God, or mammon.

0:45:22.280,0:45:30.480
People who don’t believe in God [br]will think you’re crazy!

0:45:30.480,0:45:41.960
And the reason is, because you’ll be making decisions on the basis of something you can’t see!

0:45:41.960,0:45:49.600
But Jesus said further down, and I’m just going to read this verse as well in verse 33.

0:45:49.600,0:45:55.880
“Seek first the Kingdom of God [br]and His righteousness,

0:45:55.880,0:46:02.040
and all these things shall be given to you as well.”

0:46:02.040,0:46:06.720
It’s because God is real.

0:46:06.720,0:46:11.440
He may not be visible but [br]when we obey Him,

0:46:11.440,0:46:16.040
we get in line with the One who created this whole universe.

0:46:21.000,0:46:29.560
It’s no problem to Him to give you [br]what you need.

0:46:29.560,0:46:40.760
If you give your life to searching for what you need, you won’t find it.

0:46:40.760,0:46:50.360
You may find the physical things but you won’t find peace.

0:46:50.360,0:46:59.480
Because peace only comes from a relationship with the One who created us.

0:46:59.480,0:47:09.480
Now, I want to turn to a Scripture in the Old Testament, and this is in the book of Joshua.

0:47:09.480,0:47:15.640
Because this is one of the many examples in the Old Testament

0:47:15.640,0:47:28.720
where the people of God at the time thought they could serve God, and also serve other gods as well.

0:47:28.720,0:47:43.680
They saw some benefit in serving God, [br]but they also tried to serve other gods as well.

0:47:43.680,0:47:46.120
It’s a temptation for all of us!

0:47:46.120,0:47:48.680
It’s a temptation for all of us!

0:47:48.680,0:47:54.520
Sometimes, the devil, instead of trying [br]to get us to just deny God,

0:47:54.520,0:48:00.840
will try to get us to shift and [br]follow something else as well.

0:48:08.680,0:48:11.600
If there’s one thing I’ve observed -

0:48:11.600,0:48:19.960
in mixing with lots of people over the last fifty years of being a believer -

0:48:19.960,0:48:24.760
it’s that when you add something else[br]to your Christianity,

0:48:24.760,0:48:33.520
it’s not long before you become focused on that ‘something else’, and God takes a lower position.

0:48:33.520,0:48:35.560
I’m warning you, this happens!

0:48:35.560,0:48:43.000
You start off being 100% for God -

0:48:43.000,0:48:53.600
then you’re 90% for God, [br]and 10% for your own enjoyment.

0:48:53.600,0:49:05.840
Give it a couple of years; you’ll be 90% for your own enjoyment, 10% for God.

0:49:05.840,0:49:10.920
Because you can’t serve two masters!

0:49:10.920,0:49:18.440
Having said that, let me read Joshua 24 -

0:49:18.440,0:49:23.800
and I’m going to read from verse 14.

0:49:23.800,0:49:36.600
Joshua said, “Now therefore, fear the Lord and serve Him wholeheartedly and faithfully.

0:49:36.600,0:49:41.160
Remove the gods that your fathers served in the region across the river and in Egypt,

0:49:41.160,0:49:43.160
and serve the Lord.

0:49:50.000,0:50:04.720
But if you see no benefit in serving the Lord, then choose today whom you are going to serve,

0:50:04.720,0:50:07.080
whether the gods your fathers [br]served beyond the river,

0:50:07.080,0:50:11.240
or the gods of the Amorites,[br]in whose land you are living.

0:50:19.800,0:50:32.920
But as for me and my household, [br]we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15)

0:50:32.920,0:50:41.040
Joshua was giving them the same challenge that Jesus gave His disciples and the Pharisees

0:50:41.040,0:50:43.760
who were listening to Him, [br]when we read Matthew.

0:50:48.920,0:50:50.640
He said, ‘Look, make your mind up,

0:50:50.640,0:50:54.680
you have to choose who you are going to serve - you can’t serve both.’

0:50:58.600,0:51:02.520
Verse 16 says the people responded, saying,

0:51:02.520,0:51:06.680
“Far be it from us to forsake the Lord and serve other gods. We are going to serve the Lord.”

0:51:06.680,0:51:08.400
That is what they said.

0:51:15.240,0:51:18.640
Joshua said to the people,

0:51:18.640,0:51:32.000
“You are not able to serve the Lord, [br]because He’s a holy God; He’s a jealous God.”

0:51:32.000,0:51:34.560
Joshua could have rejoiced and said,

0:51:34.560,0:51:38.040
‘We have a revival![br]The people want to serve the Lord!’

0:51:45.600,0:51:48.920
But he knew what was in their heart -

0:51:48.920,0:51:55.480
that their commitment at that time, [br]was not total, but partial.

0:52:03.200,0:52:16.160
So, it was actually true when he said,[br]‘In this state of heart, you can’t serve the Lord’.

0:52:16.160,0:52:31.760
Those people were only convinced;[br]they were not yet converted.

0:52:31.760,0:52:42.240
So, you can be convinced [br]that Jesus is the Lord.

0:52:42.240,0:52:58.720
But you’re not converted until the Word of God becomes living inside of you,

0:52:58.720,0:53:10.640
and starts to affect your behaviour, your actions and your attitudes.

0:53:10.640,0:53:23.520
Now, God allows us in life to be able to observe whether we really have faith or not.

0:53:23.520,0:53:36.000
Because one thing I can guarantee [br]is that faith is always tested!

0:53:36.000,0:53:43.320
Faith is not faith if it is not tested.

0:53:43.320,0:53:50.520
The kind of tests that God sets are not like the examination where we know the day,

0:53:50.520,0:53:56.600
and we prepare, and we go into the examination to see if we can pass the test.

0:53:56.600,0:54:02.840
It’s in the middle of doing something else, completely unexpected, that a test will come.

0:54:16.760,0:54:26.960
But when the test comes, we sometimes realise that we don’t actually have faith.

0:54:26.960,0:54:30.320
Prophet T.B. Joshua said something [br]very challenging:

0:54:30.320,0:54:42.720
“You can tell whether you have got [br]faith by your daily life.”

0:54:42.720,0:54:50.000
But this is not a negative thing;[br]this is wonderfully positive!

0:54:50.000,0:54:56.120
It means we have a chance to put things right!

0:54:56.120,0:55:03.640
I don’t want to get to the end of my life [br]and discover I was a fake!

0:55:03.640,0:55:14.320
I thank God for the tests now, [br]so I can find out now!

0:55:14.320,0:55:21.120
And I can come to Him to put it right!

0:55:21.120,0:55:35.960
Because God allows things in our life which are stronger than we are.

0:55:35.960,0:55:44.160
To put it another way, [br]you cannot save yourself!

0:55:44.160,0:55:57.480
He allows passions to arise in us [br]which are stronger than our will-power.

0:55:57.480,0:56:00.440
How can we overcome?

0:56:00.440,0:56:11.840
With a living God!

0:56:11.840,0:56:17.080
So please, whatever kind of challenge [br]you are having - don’t fake it.

0:56:17.080,0:56:18.880
Don’t pretend everything is okay.

0:56:26.800,0:56:40.800
You will have an opportunity later today and tomorrow to receive deliverance.

0:56:40.800,0:56:46.400
And the reason I’m emphasising this for you today,

0:56:46.400,0:56:54.000
is whatever you’re struggling with, where you need the living God to set you free,

0:56:54.000,0:56:59.200
come with an open heart!

0:56:59.200,0:57:02.520
Come with humility!

0:57:02.520,0:57:11.480
And let the God who created you,[br]set you free to follow Him.

0:57:11.480,0:57:22.680
Because many of us are like Joshua’s people; we want to serve the Lord but we can’t.

0:57:22.680,0:57:35.760
I’m turning to another Scripture now [br]in the book of Luke 9.

0:57:35.760,0:57:41.160
This is another very serious thing that Jesus said.

0:57:41.160,0:57:48.360
Let me read from Luke 9:23.

0:57:48.360,0:57:51.840
Jesus said to all of them,

0:57:51.840,0:58:04.800
“If anyone wants to come after Me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily and follow Me.

0:58:04.800,0:58:11.760
For whoever wants to save his life, [br]will lose it.

0:58:11.760,0:58:25.600
But whoever loses his life for My sake, [br]will save it.”

0:58:25.600,0:58:35.920
It’s a matter of life and death - [br]that’s why Christianity is not a hobby.

0:58:35.920,0:58:44.320
That’s why we have to know that [br]God is real.

0:58:44.320,0:58:56.520
Because if God is not real, [br]this is not good news; it is bad news.

0:58:56.520,0:59:04.760
Because we are giving our lives for this.

0:59:04.760,0:59:11.000
And you know, it’s possible - if we have a partial commitment, the problem is

0:59:11.000,0:59:25.680
we’ll have enough Christianity to make us miserable, but not enough to make us happy.

0:59:25.680,0:59:34.440
You cannot take eternity out of Christianity.

0:59:34.440,0:59:44.360
The God who created us, and who is going to judge us at the end of our lives

0:59:44.360,0:59:50.920
has made a way for us [br]to be reconciled to Him,

0:59:50.920,0:59:57.760
and to live a life that is full and free.

0:59:57.760,1:00:01.720
He doesn’t promise it will be easy,[br]but it will be full, it will be free

1:00:01.720,1:00:07.680
and in eternity, it will be, [br]‘Well done, good and faithful servant.’

1:00:18.520,1:00:25.080
And if you’re still doubting eternity -

1:00:25.080,1:00:30.000
God’s put eternity in our hearts.

1:00:30.000,1:00:34.480
That’s what Solomon said in Ecclesiates.

1:00:34.480,1:00:44.800
We’ve all got a conscience - [br]it’s God speaking to us.

1:00:44.800,1:00:56.600
I am now drawing to a close, [br]and I want to bring an appeal to you.

1:00:56.600,1:01:03.160
And with that, I want to read [br]one more Scripture.

1:01:03.160,1:01:14.120
And this one is in 2 Chronicles 16:9.

1:01:14.160,1:01:21.800
“The eyes of the Lord go back and forth [br]over all the earth

1:01:21.800,1:01:28.440
to offer strong support to the hearts of those who are completely committed to Him.”

1:01:40.000,1:01:45.960
This is talking about God - the living God.

1:01:45.960,1:01:49.360
He’s here.

1:01:49.360,1:01:53.400
He’s looking at our hearts!

1:01:53.400,1:01:58.680
He wants to show Himself strong!

1:01:58.680,1:02:09.360
But He can only do it for those whose [br]hearts are fully committed to Him.

1:02:09.360,1:02:19.440
So let’s stand and pray together.

1:02:19.440,1:02:31.160
Lord Jesus, I am given up to Your will.

1:02:31.160,1:02:37.840
Lord Jesus, I am ready.

1:02:37.840,1:02:46.200
I am ready to go where You want me to go.

1:02:46.200,1:02:54.280
I am ready to say what You want me to say.

1:02:54.280,1:03:05.120
I am ready to be what You want me to be.

1:03:05.120,1:03:09.960
Time is short.

1:03:09.960,1:03:16.000
Jesus is coming soon.

1:03:16.000,1:03:22.440
I don’t want to waste my time.

1:03:22.440,1:03:29.080
Tell me what I should do.

1:03:29.080,1:03:34.800
Give me Your orders.

1:03:34.800,1:03:49.080
I promise to submit myself to all You desire of me,

1:03:49.080,1:04:02.040
and to accept all You permit to happen to me.

1:04:02.040,1:04:12.240
Let me only know Your will.

1:04:12.240,1:04:23.080
In Jesus’ name. Amen!

1:04:32.520,1:04:43.200
Take more of me[br]Give me more of You

1:04:43.200,1:04:47.880
Jesus

1:04:47.880,1:04:59.120
Take more of me[br]Give me more of You

1:04:59.120,1:05:03.800
Jesus

1:05:03.800,1:05:30.440
Take more of me[br]Give me more of You

1:05:30.440,1:05:32.800
Jesus

1:05:33.200,1:05:40.760
If anyone of you is moved in your heart to kneel down with us in this atmosphere,

1:05:40.760,1:05:43.360
do so with the light of [br]your phone turned on.

1:05:43.360,1:05:47.680
Acknowledge that the only way to have a revived generation

1:05:47.680,1:05:52.640
is by being on our knees before God.

1:05:52.640,1:06:00.640

Every province represented here - [br]kneel down for your nation.

1:07:30.200,1:07:36.240

1:07:40.840,1:07:45.760
We raise a cry for Cuba.[br]Cuba does not belong to idols!

1:07:45.760,1:07:49.200
Cuba belongs to Jesus!

1:07:49.200,1:07:59.320

Let us sing Hallelujah.[br]Let it be heard in all this place!

1:09:27.320,1:10:27.080
Hallelujah

1:10:27.080,1:10:38.720
Before any other activity, let us pray.

1:10:38.720,1:10:42.880
Lord Jesus Christ,

1:10:42.880,1:10:47.800
here we are in Your presence.

1:10:47.800,1:10:58.560
Let Your Spirit be the voice of our prayer.

1:10:58.560,1:11:12.720
I pray for every heart hearing this message.

1:11:12.720,1:11:22.520
Receive revelation, in Jesus’ name!

1:11:22.520,1:11:38.000
Receive revelation of the Word, [br]of the truth in Jesus’ name.

1:11:38.000,1:11:53.040
Just repeat this after me: [br]‘Oh Holy Spirit,

1:11:53.040,1:12:05.240
free my spirit to hear Your voice.

1:12:05.240,1:12:16.360
Free my spirit to follow You.’

1:12:16.360,1:12:41.840
In Jesus’ mighty name we pray. Amen!

1:12:41.840,1:12:57.000
Greetings to you all, in the wonderful name of Jesus Christ!

1:12:57.000,1:13:09.520
First and foremost, I want to give all the glory to Jesus Christ.

1:13:09.520,1:13:19.800
Because He is the reason we are all gathered here today.

1:13:19.800,1:13:30.680
Turn to your neighbour and tell them, [br]“It is all about Jesus!”

1:13:30.680,1:13:40.520
Yes, it is all about Jesus!

1:13:40.520,1:14:08.120
I also want to acknowledge and appreciate the servant of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua.

1:14:08.120,1:14:20.840
He taught me from a young age the value of my relationship with God

1:14:20.840,1:14:25.680
above anything and everything else [br]in this world.

1:14:39.160,1:14:49.080
And I had the privilege of being mentored by Prophet T.B. Joshua for 17 years

1:14:49.080,1:14:52.600
at The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations [br]in Lagos, Nigeria.

1:15:06.440,1:15:18.800
Until God called him home in June 2021.

1:15:18.800,1:15:24.920
He often used to say, [br]“It is not about where I want to be;

1:15:24.920,1:15:38.840
it is about where God wants me to be.”

1:15:38.840,1:15:47.640
And I want to emphasise something in the light of this.

1:15:47.640,1:15:56.120
True fulfillment in life is not about your physical location;

1:15:56.120,1:16:11.080
it is about your spiritual station.

1:16:11.080,1:16:22.640
It’s not about your country; [br]it’s about your calling from above.

1:16:22.640,1:16:32.480
And when you are where God wants you to be, my brothers and sisters,

1:16:32.480,1:16:40.560
His grace will be sufficient for you, whatever life brings to you.

1:16:51.160,1:16:59.720
When you are where God wants you to be, you will be content.

1:16:59.720,1:17:04.520
Whether you have little or lots, [br]you will be content.

1:17:13.920,1:17:22.000
When you are where God wants you to be - yes, there can be troubles and struggles -

1:17:22.000,1:17:28.120
but God will speak strength to your soul through that trouble.

1:17:42.240,1:17:58.760
By the grace of God, I am here today because God wants me to be here.

1:17:58.760,1:18:20.480
And it is such an honour and privilege to be in this beautiful and blessed nation of Cuba.

1:18:20.480,1:18:27.280
Over the years I have been in ministry, [br]I have been privileged to meet

1:18:27.280,1:18:31.880
some believers from Cuba [br]in different parts of the world.

1:18:39.600,1:18:45.720
And there is a common thread I have observed among all the people

1:18:45.720,1:18:47.800
I have met from this nation.

1:18:54.480,1:19:10.520
I have seen a deep hunger and passion [br]for the things of God.

1:19:10.520,1:19:21.360
And I want to salute your faith.

1:19:21.360,1:19:30.640
I know the challenges that have faced and are facing this nation.

1:19:30.640,1:19:34.920
Remember, there is no nation [br]without challenges.

1:19:44.760,1:19:54.360
But I want you to consider [br]something personally.

1:19:54.360,1:20:12.080
Who knows where you would be spiritually if not for those challenges?

1:20:12.080,1:20:29.320
Because there are many people today who are rich materially but poor spiritually.

1:20:29.320,1:20:40.400
Many people abound materially, [br]but they are empty spiritually.

1:20:40.400,1:21:12.400
So, consider this - what is troublesome to the flesh can often be beneficial to the spirit.

1:21:12.400,1:21:22.920
And if these challenges have ultimately brought you closer to God,

1:21:22.920,1:21:25.640
they are a blessing.

1:21:34.400,1:21:41.000
From eternity’s perspective.

1:21:41.000,1:21:56.200
So, thank you from my heart for receiving me today in this wonderful nation.

1:21:56.200,1:22:08.040
I am also especially excited about the nature of this gathering.

1:22:08.040,1:22:21.720
Because there is a passion in my heart to minister to the young people.

1:22:21.720,1:22:29.840
Because we are the future!

1:22:29.840,1:22:46.320
When I reached the age of 16, [br]I was faced with an important decision.

1:22:46.320,1:22:55.000
I had just finished my secondary school and I was not sure of what next to do in life,

1:22:55.000,1:23:01.680
to pursue career or education; [br]I was at a point of decision.

1:23:10.880,1:23:20.320
Rather than just following my friends

1:23:20.320,1:23:31.760
or being led by the pressure of society,

1:23:31.760,1:23:49.240
I chose to seek God’s face about my future.

1:23:49.240,1:23:57.520
And that changed my life.

1:23:57.520,1:24:08.120
Now, my journey is different from yours;[br]we are not the same.

1:24:08.120,1:24:17.000
Which is why it is unnecessary [br]to compare yourself with others.

1:24:17.000,1:24:33.120
But what I want to share with you today is the principle that prompted that decision.

1:24:33.120,1:25:03.320
I discovered early on the need to build [br]my life around the pursuit of my purpose.

1:25:03.320,1:25:12.920
Young people, I am here to [br]encourage you today.

1:25:12.920,1:25:23.680
If you can prioritise the pursuit of your purpose in life,

1:25:23.680,1:25:29.600
God will give you everything else you need for the journey.

1:25:41.120,1:25:47.920
And this will usher me to the title of the message [br]I want to share with you today from my heart -

1:25:47.920,1:25:54.120
‘The Pursuit Of Purpose’.

1:26:04.440,1:26:35.480
We must build our lives around the pursuit of spiritual purpose, not fleshly fulfillment.

1:26:35.480,1:26:48.040
I have met many young people who have asked me a similar question.

1:26:48.040,1:26:57.280
They have said, ‘Brother Chris, I want to know what is my purpose in life.’

1:26:57.280,1:27:01.160
And many people ask this question [br]out of frustration,

1:27:01.160,1:27:06.160
out of discouragement with what they are facing in life.

1:27:13.120,1:27:26.960
But I put it to you today that this is the wrong question to ask.

1:27:26.960,1:27:32.000
Because if you search within your heart,

1:27:32.000,1:27:36.720
you will know this is a question you already have the answer to.

1:27:43.240,1:27:54.480
For everyone here today, I can reveal to you what your purpose in life is.

1:27:54.480,1:27:58.640
Because it unites all of us.

1:27:58.640,1:28:04.520
It connects all of us as children of God.

1:28:04.520,1:28:11.240
Look, your purpose in life is not determined by your geographical location

1:28:11.240,1:28:16.120
or your circumstance of birth or your present condition right now.

1:28:24.840,1:28:31.480
Your purpose in life is not determined by your negative experiences in the past,

1:28:31.480,1:28:36.000
by the fact that you grew up with the lack or loss of a loved one.

1:28:36.000,1:28:38.520
That does not determine your purpose.

1:28:45.960,1:28:51.400
Your purpose in life is not determined by the mistakes you have made in the past.

1:28:51.400,1:28:53.640
That does not determine your purpose.

1:28:58.640,1:29:05.320
People of God, the Bible is very clear.

1:29:05.320,1:29:16.520
In Isaiah 43:7, the Scripture says this, [br]“You are created for the glory of God.”

1:29:21.720,1:29:24.640
That is your purpose!

1:29:29.000,1:29:53.480
And the pursuit of that purpose is the foundation, the bedrock of real fulfillment.

1:29:53.480,1:30:04.880
I will quickly read you a Scripture [br]from Colossians 1.

1:30:04.880,1:30:08.000
Colossians 1:16

1:30:08.000,1:30:16.440
“For by Him all things were created

1:30:16.440,1:30:21.160
that are in heaven and that are on earth,

1:30:21.160,1:30:24.720
visible and invisible,

1:30:24.720,1:30:32.520
whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers.

1:30:32.520,1:30:45.840
All things were created [br]through Him and for Him.”

1:30:45.840,1:30:55.520
This is your purpose in life - to glorify God.

1:30:55.520,1:31:05.840
Young people, don’t be deceived by the lies of this world.

1:31:05.840,1:31:14.080
Money is not a measurement of fulfillment.

1:31:14.080,1:31:20.280
Many people have money but they go to bed at night in pain

1:31:20.280,1:31:24.240
because they don’t have peace of heart.

1:31:32.160,1:31:46.680
Fame, popularity, material success - [br]that is not a measurement of fulfillment.

1:31:46.680,1:31:58.720
The measurement of fulfillment is not carnal but spiritual.

1:31:58.720,1:32:12.640
Don’t wait until it gets late [br]before you realise this.

1:32:12.640,1:32:21.720
No other path can bring you that fulfillment.

1:32:21.720,1:32:28.920
Don’t exhaust your time, [br]energy, passion and talent

1:32:28.920,1:32:35.640
in the pursuit of something [br]that is perishable.

1:32:43.280,1:32:48.600
There are many people today who have believed the lie that

1:32:48.600,1:32:53.720
‘If I just travel to another country,[br]my problems will be solved.

1:32:53.720,1:32:56.560
Everything will change! [br]I will find what I’m looking for.

1:32:56.560,1:32:58.880
I just need to get out of this country.’

1:33:06.640,1:33:24.720
Look, if your problem is within you, [br]no country you travel to can change that.

1:33:24.720,1:33:33.440
Another lie, a common lie of the devil - [br]let’s talk about it.

1:33:33.440,1:33:39.040
I have met many young people who are struggling with lustful urges,

1:33:39.040,1:33:42.680
sexual urges of the flesh.

1:33:48.840,1:33:51.880
And people think, [br]‘If I just sleep with this man.

1:33:51.880,1:33:53.560
If I just sleep with this woman.

1:33:53.560,1:33:58.720
If I just watch that pornographic material, [br]I will be satisfied...’ - it is a lie!

1:34:11.200,1:34:24.720
What you think will bring satisfaction actually makes the urge even worse.

1:34:24.720,1:34:30.720
Many people think, ‘If I can just get enough money, I will be fulfilled.’

1:34:30.720,1:34:35.880
So, they are prepared to do ungodly things in the pursuit of that money.

1:34:35.880,1:34:42.000
But when the money comes, the problems increase that take the money away.

1:34:42.000,1:34:50.160
The pursuit of fulfillment in the flesh is a journey that has no destination.

1:34:50.160,1:34:54.480
It’s an endless cycle, an endless circle.

1:35:03.400,1:35:06.240
So, I will show you practically what I am talking about.

1:35:06.240,1:35:09.840
You think to yourself, [br]‘If I can just get there, I will be fulfilled.’

1:35:09.840,1:35:13.240
You get there. Before you realise you are not, it takes you to here.

1:35:13.240,1:35:15.480
You say, ‘If I get here, I will be fulfilled.’

1:35:15.480,1:35:17.440
You try it and realise you are not there.

1:35:17.440,1:35:19.960
You get to here and still are not fulfilled.

1:35:19.960,1:35:23.560
You go around here and before you know it, you are back in the same place!

1:35:39.400,1:35:47.800
And what is happening? [br]Precious time is wasted.

1:35:47.800,1:35:54.960
Precious opportunities are squandered.

1:35:54.960,1:36:07.280
Precious promises from God lie dormant.

1:36:07.280,1:36:17.920
Because we are pursuing that which ultimately cannot fulfil us.

1:36:17.920,1:36:33.760
Fulfillment is all about living[br]in tune with your purpose.

1:36:33.760,1:36:49.800
Because only God can give your soul that which you truly seek.

1:36:49.800,1:37:15.080
I put it to you today that the challenge before us is not one of purpose - it is one of focus.

1:37:15.080,1:37:34.360
You see, God determines your purpose[br]but you determine your focus.

1:37:34.360,1:37:42.120
Your purpose is destined - it’s Divine!

1:37:42.120,1:37:46.960
But your focus is decision - it’s discipline.

1:37:54.920,1:38:02.400
So, the question I want you to [br]ask yourself is this -

1:38:02.400,1:38:20.720
what is hindering my focus [br]in the pursuit of my purpose?

1:38:20.720,1:38:38.320
What is distracting, affecting your focus?[br]Ask yourself that question!

1:38:38.320,1:38:45.960
If you examine your heart

1:38:45.960,1:38:59.240
and realise you are in a place that is contrary to your desires,

1:38:59.240,1:39:12.600
don’t blame your circumstances;[br]change your focus.

1:39:12.600,1:39:20.880
Don’t fall into the trap of blaming[br]factors beyond your control,

1:39:20.880,1:39:23.520
for factors within your control.

1:39:33.280,1:39:48.200
It’s very common today for people to cast blame, point fingers, look for a scapegoat.

1:39:48.200,1:39:58.760
No one wins when you play [br]the blame game.

1:39:58.760,1:40:03.080
Or let me put it like this -

1:40:03.080,1:40:12.440
the only winner in the blame game [br]is the devil.

1:40:12.440,1:40:31.040
Because he delights in seeing you suffer in a cycle of bondage that is often self-inflicted.

1:40:31.040,1:40:53.280
The best way to change is to recognise personal responsibility for what happens in your life.

1:40:53.280,1:40:59.200
Even when, in the natural, you have a claim to point fingers, to cast blame,

1:40:59.200,1:41:02.840
to look at this or that as the cause of what’s happening to you,

1:41:02.840,1:41:06.640
don’t act on that claim to blame.

1:41:13.920,1:41:19.480
It only leaves you in a cycle

1:41:19.480,1:41:26.000
of frustration, disappointment, discouragement.

1:41:26.000,1:41:35.120
And in such a state of heart, [br]we can easily fall into sin.

1:41:35.120,1:41:42.360
With such a state of heart,[br]how can we glorify God?

1:41:42.360,1:41:52.840
So, people of God, the answer [br]is to change your focus.

1:41:52.840,1:42:02.120
To what?

1:42:02.120,1:42:10.800
We need more of God and less of us.

1:42:10.800,1:42:18.360
We need more of His love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,

1:42:18.360,1:42:23.040
faithfulness, gentleness, self-control - [br]we need more of Him!

1:42:29.160,1:42:40.640
The more you engage your heart [br]with the Word of God,

1:42:40.640,1:42:51.120
the more your life lines up [br]with His purpose.

1:42:51.120,1:42:54.200
Let me put it like this.

1:42:54.200,1:43:09.480
The closer you draw to God, [br]the clearer your calling becomes.

1:43:09.480,1:43:20.200
Why? Because the closer you draw to God, the more events will unfold in your life

1:43:20.200,1:43:27.360
that point you and push you down the direction of your Divine calling.

1:43:40.440,1:43:48.080
I know that for many of us [br]gathered here right now,

1:43:48.080,1:43:57.160
there is something spiritual [br]disturbing our focus.

1:43:57.160,1:44:05.640
It may be as a result of generational curses or demonic attack,

1:44:05.640,1:44:09.320
but there is something disturbing our heart.

1:44:17.840,1:44:22.640
People of God, it’s a great privilege for me to be here

1:44:22.640,1:44:29.200
to share the Word of God with you today.

1:44:29.200,1:44:33.880
But the greatest desire in my heart

1:44:33.880,1:44:49.320
is to pray for each and every one [br]of you for deliverance!

1:44:49.320,1:45:00.720
Because many of us, as we are listening to the message, we have that desire to serve God!

1:45:00.720,1:45:04.560
But there is something restricting us!

1:45:04.560,1:45:08.000
There is something limiting us!

1:45:08.000,1:45:19.080
And you need the power of the [br]Holy Spirit to break that chain!

1:45:19.080,1:45:23.760
But I want you to take note of this:

1:45:23.760,1:45:42.000
Deliverance removes the bondage of the devil,[br]but not the battle of temptation.

1:45:42.000,1:45:49.120
There is no prayer in this world [br]that eliminates temptation,

1:45:49.120,1:46:06.000
which is why deliverance is not a replacement for discipline.

1:46:06.000,1:46:14.320
That is why I want you to take [br]this Word seriously.

1:46:14.320,1:46:20.320
Because after you receive prayer, [br]in the name of Jesus,

1:46:20.320,1:46:33.600
this Word will equip you [br]to pursue your Divine purpose.

1:46:33.600,1:46:45.920
May God bless His Word in the midst [br]of our hearts, in Jesus’ name.

1:46:51.520,1:47:08.640
Believe that for God to have brought you here at this moment, it is by Divine appointment.

1:47:08.640,1:47:22.440
And what God has destined you to receive, you will receive it today!

1:47:22.440,1:47:24.600
What do you need to do?

1:47:24.600,1:47:29.440
Take care of your heart!

1:47:29.440,1:47:32.680
Prepare your heart!

1:47:32.680,1:47:36.120
If there’s anyone you need to forgive,[br]this is the right time -

1:47:36.120,1:47:42.440
begin to release forgiveness right now.

1:47:42.440,1:47:46.840
If there’s an area of your life that you know is not pleasing to God,

1:47:46.840,1:47:50.200
now is the time for reconciliation [br]and repentance.

1:47:50.200,1:47:53.080
This is the time to bring it before the Lord!

1:47:59.000,1:48:07.480
Right now, ask the Holy Spirit [br]to sanctify your heart.

1:48:07.480,1:48:13.280
Ask the Holy Spirit to cleanse your heart.

1:48:13.280,1:48:20.360
Ask the Holy Spirit to release [br]your heart from every bitterness,

1:48:20.360,1:48:26.560
every offence, every resentment, [br]every pain of the past.

1:48:26.560,1:48:34.360
Ask Him right now.

1:48:40.080,1:48:42.640
Be healed, in Jesus’ name!

1:48:45.840,1:48:49.080
Out of him right now!

1:48:50.040,1:48:56.160
People of God, we can see the [br]Holy Spirit is at work.

1:48:56.160,1:49:01.560
That’s why I said, [br]‘Remain in an attitude of prayer.’

1:49:02.800,1:49:04.800
Speak out! Who are you in this body?

1:49:05.200,1:49:10.120
‘I want to attack her!’

1:49:10.120,1:49:12.880
‘I entered through rejection.’

1:49:12.880,1:49:16.040
Come out, in Jesus’ name!

1:49:27.280,1:49:29.920
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ![br]Who are you?

1:49:29.920,1:49:34.000
‘Get out of here!’

1:49:34.440,1:49:37.760
Out right now!

1:49:39.840,1:49:42.720
Out right now!

1:49:42.720,1:49:48.000
Thank You, Jesus!

1:49:50.640,1:49:53.160
What have you done to her?

1:49:54.120,1:49:59.680
‘I have made her to meet many men.’

1:49:59.680,1:50:02.880
Out of her!

1:50:02.880,1:50:04.360
Out right now!

1:50:04.360,1:50:07.280
Be healed in Jesus’ name!

1:50:07.280,1:50:10.640
Out! You sickness.

1:50:20.720,1:50:24.480
‘Devil!’

1:50:24.480,1:50:28.560
Out!

1:50:29.600,1:50:30.440
You are free, brother!

1:50:30.440,1:50:32.960
You are free, rise up!

1:50:36.320,1:50:39.920
Who are you in this body?

1:50:39.920,1:50:43.080
‘I destroyed her!’

1:50:43.080,1:50:45.560
Out! Out!

1:50:48.480,1:50:52.520
Thank You, Jesus!

1:50:52.520,1:50:56.400
Be healed, in Jesus’ name!

1:50:56.520,1:51:00.200
Come out right now!

1:51:17.080,1:51:19.720
Thank You Jesus!

1:51:23.160,1:51:26.040
People of God, continue to be in an attitude of prayer!

1:51:26.040,1:51:28.800
Your time is coming!

1:51:28.800,1:51:30.320
Don’t just be a spectator -

1:51:30.320,1:51:32.160
participate in the prayer!

1:51:32.160,1:51:35.240
This is the Spirit of God at work!

1:51:42.280,1:51:48.480
‘I cannot bear the light!’

1:51:48.480,1:51:52.320
Out of him!

1:51:53.000,1:51:57.960
Brother, you are free in Jesus’ name.

1:51:57.960,1:52:01.560
Tell us what happened to you.

1:52:01.560,1:52:07.440
There was something coming in and [br]going out of me.

1:52:07.440,1:52:17.800
I kept saying, ‘In the name of Jesus’ until I saw a bright light and many figures around.

1:52:17.800,1:52:20.480
Thank You, Jesus, for the light!

1:52:20.480,1:52:22.800
Jesus is the Light of the world!

1:52:22.800,1:52:23.800
Thank You, Lord!

1:52:31.640,1:52:34.120
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ!

1:52:35.960,1:52:38.960
‘I am fear’.

1:52:41.440,1:52:44.920
You demon that wants her to[br]commit suicide!

1:52:44.920,1:52:49.400
I say right now,

1:52:49.400,1:52:51.520
get out of her!

1:52:51.520,1:52:54.480
in Jesus’ name!

1:52:54.480,1:52:57.400
You are free, in Jesus’ name.

1:52:57.400,1:53:01.400
Thank You, Jesus, for delivering me!

1:53:19.520,1:53:28.040
People of God, we can see what this brother has vomited out.

1:53:28.040,1:53:31.040
We can see that this is not just [br]an ordinary substance -

1:53:31.040,1:53:43.520
this is the spiritual poison that is [br]coming out of his system!

1:53:44.680,1:53:52.040
In Jesus’ name, brother, rise up,[br]you are free!

1:53:55.560,1:53:58.720
‘I want to kill her!’

1:53:58.720,1:54:02.400
Who are you that wants to kill her?

1:54:02.400,1:54:05.400
‘satan!’

1:54:05.400,1:54:08.840
In the name of Jesus Christ,[br]out of her right now!

1:54:08.840,1:54:10.120
Out!

1:54:10.720,1:54:15.000
Thank You, Jesus, you are free!

1:54:15.800,1:54:18.160
Thank You, Jesus!

1:54:18.160,1:54:23.040
Hallelujah! How many believe that Jesus lives and is in this place?

1:54:26.360,1:54:31.160
‘Witchcraft.’

1:54:31.160,1:54:35.000
‘I cannot be on the floor.’

1:54:35.000,1:54:39.840
In Jesus’ name!

1:54:39.840,1:54:50.360
The man of God has a fire around him; I saw fire in the man of God.

1:54:50.360,1:54:57.280
So that is the name of Jesus![br]You are free!

1:54:57.280,1:55:01.920
‘I want to die!’

1:55:07.080,1:55:13.680
She will not die, she will live to see the glory of God!

1:55:13.680,1:55:17.680
You unclean spirit of death!

1:55:17.680,1:55:20.200
Get out of her!

1:55:20.200,1:55:23.880
Sister, rise up, rise up!

1:55:23.880,1:55:25.680
You are free! Rise up!

1:55:25.680,1:55:28.360
Thank You, Jesus!

1:55:28.360,1:55:31.680
‘Sickness.’

1:55:31.680,1:55:39.200
Okay, every spirit of sickness - come out in Jesus’ name!

1:55:43.000,1:55:45.760
I don’t feel any pain!

1:55:45.760,1:55:48.760
In the name of Jesus Christ!

1:55:49.760,1:55:51.600
‘Get away!’

1:55:51.600,1:55:56.400
Why do you want me to get away?

1:55:56.400,1:55:59.200
‘You cannot!’

1:55:59.200,1:56:02.880
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

1:56:02.880,1:56:08.600
Out of him right now!

1:56:08.600,1:56:11.880
By the fire of the Holy Ghost!

1:56:11.880,1:56:14.240
‘Don’t touch me!’

1:56:14.240,1:56:16.600
In Jesus’ name!

1:56:19.360,1:56:22.120
Be free!

1:56:28.840,1:56:30.880
Come out of her!

1:56:30.880,1:56:33.360
‘Fear.’

1:56:33.360,1:56:35.600
Okay, how have you destroyed her as the spirit of fear?

1:56:35.600,1:56:39.640
‘I paralysed her life.’

1:56:39.640,1:56:46.200
Okay, right now you spirit of fear, in the name of Jesus Christ - out of her!

1:56:49.280,1:56:51.280
Who are you?

1:56:51.280,1:56:52.440
‘Blindness!’

1:56:52.440,1:57:01.880
Spirit of blindness, out in Jesus’ name!

1:57:01.880,1:57:06.880
You are free!

1:57:06.880,1:57:12.120
‘Hatred!’

1:57:12.120,1:57:19.120
So right now, you wicked spirit of hatred, get out!

1:57:19.880,1:57:22.360
Come out!

1:57:22.360,1:57:26.240
In Jesus’ name, get out of her!

1:57:27.560,1:57:30.280
Come out right now!

1:57:30.280,1:57:37.520
Out!

1:57:41.600,1:57:45.280
Be healed, in Jesus’ name!

1:57:47.880,1:57:50.800
You are free, sister - breathe, breathe!

1:57:53.560,1:57:56.960
How have you destroyed him, you demon?

1:57:56.960,1:58:00.400
‘He’s mine!’

1:58:00.400,1:58:04.040
Out of him!

1:58:09.040,1:58:11.880
Out of him!

1:58:11.880,1:58:14.880
You are free, brother!

1:58:17.720,1:58:21.080
Be healed, in Jesus’ name!

1:58:21.880,1:58:24.360
Right now, that strange spirit -

1:58:24.360,1:58:29.160
come out of him!

1:58:29.160,1:58:31.640
Vomit it out right now!

1:58:31.640,1:58:38.560
‘I make him believe that he’s alone.’

1:58:38.600,1:58:42.400
Right now, our brother - you are not alone, Jesus is with you!

1:58:42.400,1:58:47.800
Be free, in Jesus’ name!

1:58:51.640,1:58:54.760
Thank You, Lord!

1:58:54.760,1:59:01.680
Out! In Jesus’ name.

1:59:01.680,1:59:05.200
Who are you in this body?

1:59:05.200,1:59:09.280
Out of him!

1:59:09.280,1:59:11.800
Everything not of Jesus in your system -

1:59:11.800,1:59:15.120
vomit it out right now!

1:59:15.120,1:59:17.680
That poison, that sickness - out of him!

1:59:17.680,1:59:21.840
Thank You, Jesus, for this healing.

1:59:27.800,1:59:30.840
Come out of him!

1:59:30.840,1:59:34.120
Out, in Jesus’ name!

1:59:34.120,1:59:35.800
Out of him right now!

1:59:41.280,1:59:42.800
Come out of him!

1:59:42.800,1:59:46.200
Vomit it out!

1:59:53.840,1:59:55.960
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ -

1:59:55.960,1:59:58.560
you unclean spirit, get out of her!

1:59:58.560,2:00:00.520
In Jesus’ name.

2:00:00.520,2:00:06.480
Right now, that sickness, out! [br]In Jesus’ name.

2:00:11.840,2:00:16.520
Out of him!

2:00:16.560,2:00:21.280
In Jesus’ name.

2:00:25.600,2:00:32.160
‘I have tried to kill him - since birth’

2:00:32.160,2:00:35.160
Out!

2:00:35.560,2:00:39.920
Be free! In Jesus’ name.

2:00:40.760,2:00:45.960
‘I want to destroy their health.’

2:00:45.960,2:00:50.600
Get out of him, in Jesus’ name!

2:00:53.600,2:00:57.440
‘I have destroyed his life.’

2:00:57.440,2:01:07.880
So right now, you spirit of destruction - come out, in Jesus’ name!

2:01:08.200,2:01:10.000
‘I am oppression.’

2:01:10.000,2:01:13.400
Okay, what have you done to him?

2:01:13.400,2:01:17.680
‘I oppress him in the night.’

2:01:17.680,2:01:24.880
Okay, so right now, that spirit of oppression, come out of him in Jesus’ name!

2:01:24.880,2:01:31.280
Come out! Out right now. [br]In the name of Jesus Christ.

2:01:31.280,2:01:35.280
‘Anger.’

2:01:35.280,2:01:43.280
So right now, that spirit of anger, [br]come out in Jesus’ name!

2:01:50.600,2:01:53.680
Out right now!

2:01:53.680,2:01:56.960
Speak out! Who are you?

2:01:56.960,2:02:01.040
‘I’m Ogun.’

2:02:02.600,2:02:07.880
‘I want to separate them’

2:02:07.880,2:02:17.600
So right now, the demon of destruction in this marriage, your time has come to an end.

2:02:17.600,2:02:21.240
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ,[br]out of him!

2:02:21.240,2:02:23.840
Out of her!

2:02:23.840,2:02:27.120
In Jesus’ name.

2:02:27.120,2:02:33.200
Both of you are free as husband and wife!

2:02:34.600,2:02:39.040
Every spirit of pain, come out of him!

2:02:40.280,2:02:45.560
Now, I can bend down, move my hip and [br]I don’t feel any pain!

2:02:51.560,2:02:57.120
How did you enter him?

2:02:57.120,2:03:01.000
‘Through videos.’

2:03:01.000,2:03:09.760
So right now, you wicked demon - [br]get out of him, in Jesus’ name!

2:03:12.080,2:03:13.640
Out of her!

2:03:13.640,2:03:14.760
Who are you?

2:03:18.080,2:03:21.080
In the name of Jesus Christ, [br]come out of her.

2:03:25.800,2:03:34.120
So right now, come out of her, [br]in Jesus’ name!

2:03:35.640,2:03:37.720
What have you done to her?

2:03:37.720,2:03:42.440
‘I want her to be alone and [br]I want to kill her.’

2:03:42.440,2:03:43.880
You demon, we don’t have time for you!

2:03:43.880,2:03:51.520
Right now, I say, your time has expired. [br]Get out!

2:03:51.520,2:03:55.800
‘I made her suffer!’

2:03:55.800,2:04:01.680
‘Familiar spirit! I want to kill her dad.’

2:04:01.680,2:04:04.680
Out!

2:04:04.680,2:04:08.640
Be free from that suffering!

2:04:13.560,2:04:17.640
Who are you?

2:04:17.640,2:04:21.840
You demon of destruction,[br]get out of him!

2:04:21.840,2:04:24.680
Out! In Jesus’ name!

2:04:27.880,2:04:28.800
Out of her!

2:04:28.800,2:04:33.520
Who are you?

2:04:33.520,2:04:40.520
‘I want her to become mad and die!’

2:04:41.400,2:04:43.720
Come out!

2:04:53.040,2:04:56.360
‘Spirit of anger.’

2:04:56.360,2:05:00.760
Vomit it out, in Jesus’ name!

2:05:03.720,2:05:07.840
You are free! Your marriage is free - [br]it is over!

2:05:07.840,2:05:10.200
Thank You, Jesus!

2:05:19.520,2:05:22.320
‘I gave her depression.’

2:05:22.320,2:05:28.040
So you spirit of depression, [br]get out, in Jesus’ name!

2:05:31.200,2:05:34.760
Who are you?

2:05:36.720,2:05:39.400
‘Spirit of suicide!’

2:05:39.400,2:05:43.200
Okay, how did you enter her?

2:05:43.200,2:05:46.240
‘Pornography.’

2:05:46.280,2:05:47.640
In Jesus’ name!

2:05:47.640,2:05:48.800
Out right now!

2:05:49.600,2:05:52.200
Okay sister, you are free!

2:06:00.800,2:06:03.680
‘I am going to destroy her.’

2:06:03.680,2:06:06.240
Come out of her!

2:06:08.320,2:06:11.360
I feel alone.

2:06:11.360,2:06:13.360
She belongs to Jesus.

2:06:13.360,2:06:16.720
Out! In Jesus name!

2:06:16.720,2:06:20.480
‘I want to destroy her.’

2:06:24.040,2:06:25.520
So right now, you demon -

2:06:25.520,2:06:31.280
in the name of Jesus Christ,[br]come out of her!

2:06:33.920,2:06:42.720
So right now, you demon -[br]come out of her!

2:06:46.240,2:06:53.440
So right now, you demon - [br]come out of him, in Jesus’ name!

2:06:53.440,2:06:58.800
I feel something burning.

2:06:58.800,2:07:02.800
In Jesus’ name, be free!

2:07:02.800,2:07:06.240
Out right now!

2:07:13.000,2:07:18.280
Right now, you spirit of sickness, [br]come out of her!

2:07:18.280,2:07:23.560
Out!

2:07:29.480,2:07:38.160
To uplift your faith and confirm what God did in the lives of many yesterday,

2:07:38.160,2:07:42.520
let’s listen to testimonies from those who received a touch

2:07:42.520,2:07:45.000
from the resurrection [br]power of Jesus Christ.

2:07:46.440,2:07:51.320
My name is Liliet.[br]I am from Camagüey.

2:07:51.320,2:07:58.240
I was suffering from myopia since [br]I was twelve years old.

2:07:58.240,2:08:01.600
Little by little, I was losing my vision.

2:08:01.600,2:08:08.000
My major concern was that I was just 18 and I couldn’t see from this distance.

2:08:08.000,2:08:12.240
I would say, ‘Lord, how is it possible that [br]I am becoming blind?

2:08:12.240,2:08:15.080
I am not even half way through my life.’

2:08:15.080,2:08:24.600
I was praying to God to fulfil my heart’s desire to be able to see clearly again.

2:08:24.600,2:08:29.960
I didn’t want to depend on the glasses[br]or contact lenses and God did the miracle.

2:08:29.960,2:08:34.600
When Brother Chris started [br]praying for people,

2:08:34.600,2:08:37.120
I was sitting down on the benches [br]over there.

2:08:37.120,2:08:42.960
I was telling myself that I should go closer [br]for him to see me among so many people.

2:08:42.960,2:08:46.840
I was actually thinking that it was impossible that something could happen in my life.

2:08:46.840,2:08:51.400
But there was this desire to continue crying out to God believing that it would happen.

2:08:51.400,2:08:57.440
And suddenly, one of the ushers brought me down to the front to receive prayer.

2:08:57.440,2:09:01.320
I was shocked.

2:09:01.320,2:09:06.880
When Brother Chris prayed for me, [br]I broke down in tears.

2:09:06.880,2:09:15.080
But these tears were not ordinary,[br]they were very hot, like boiling water.

2:09:15.080,2:09:24.760
My eyes were burning.

2:09:24.760,2:09:32.240
Something told me to open my eyes and when I opened them, I could see clearly!

2:09:32.240,2:09:35.600
As I was looking around,[br]I could not believe it.

2:09:35.600,2:09:41.400
An usher even asked me [br]if I was looking for someone

2:09:41.400,2:09:49.280
and I answered,[br]‘no, it is because I can now see clearly!’

2:09:49.280,2:10:02.120
To help demonstrate her healing, [br]we would like to call a medical professional.

2:10:02.120,2:10:09.280
Our sister here was telling us [br]she could not see from a certain distance.

2:10:09.280,2:10:12.240
At close sight, everything appeared blurry.

2:10:12.240,2:10:22.000
First, show to the people the book title.

2:10:22.000,2:10:27.120
Now, let her read it at the distance [br]she could not see before.

2:10:34.160,2:10:42.120
Never stop crying out to God[br]for your heart’s desire,

2:10:42.120,2:10:51.600
because although we may think God is [br]too busy, He will always have time for you.

2:10:51.600,2:10:55.160
I pray you can also receive [br]your own miracle.

2:10:55.160,2:11:00.480
God has a purpose for everyone.

2:11:00.480,2:11:04.360
God always remembers us.

2:11:07.440,2:11:09.000
Out!

2:11:09.000,2:11:15.840
Be healed, in Jesus’ name!

2:11:15.840,2:11:27.400
Every spirit of pain - come out of him!

2:11:27.400,2:11:38.000
In Jesus’ name.

2:11:38.000,2:11:41.640
You are free, in Jesus’ name.

2:11:41.880,2:11:45.840
My name is Jeiser and I’m from Las Tunas. [br]I am 22 years old.

2:11:45.840,2:11:52.600
About four weeks ago, I had an accident.

2:11:52.600,2:11:55.960
A motorcycle hit my right leg.

2:11:55.960,2:12:04.240
My hip and knee were dislocated but they managed to put them back quickly.

2:12:04.240,2:12:15.640
But this left me with a lot of pain. I couldn’t stand or walk for long without severe pain.

2:12:15.640,2:12:23.080
If I lay down on my right side, I would have to turn because of the pain.

2:12:23.080,2:12:28.960
Only a few people, like my mum, knew about this accident; I didn’t tell others.

2:12:28.960,2:12:34.120
When I came to the prayer line, [br]I was longing for a miracle.

2:12:34.120,2:12:37.240
I didn’t say anything; I just placed my hand on my hip.

2:12:37.240,2:12:40.480
I didn’t tell Brother Chris about my problem.

2:12:40.480,2:12:45.800
But he placed his hand on my hip and I felt like a 40kg weight was put on me.

2:12:45.800,2:12:53.240
It was an extreme, heavy weight on my legs, as if I was lifting weights in the gym.

2:12:53.240,2:12:59.120
And instantly, the pain disappeared!

2:12:59.120,2:13:04.000
Please show us the evidence of your healing as you do the things you could not do before.

2:13:04.000,2:13:07.840
I couldn’t do this because it was painful.

2:13:07.840,2:13:12.440
Before, I had difficulty to bend down.

2:13:12.440,2:13:19.440
But today, I can jump and praise God - what I couldn’t do before because of pain.

2:13:19.440,2:13:22.560
As you make these movements, [br]are you feeling any pain?

2:13:22.560,2:13:25.320
No. Nothing!

2:13:25.320,2:13:29.680
Wow! Glory be to God! Praise the Lord!

2:13:29.680,2:13:40.480
What is your advice for those here and those who will hear this testimony?

2:13:40.480,2:13:45.680
God always sees the desire of our heart.

2:13:45.680,2:13:52.680
And when we believe God can heal us, even if we don’t tell anybody, He knows!

2:13:52.680,2:13:55.800
He knows what you are passing through and believe me, the answer will come!

2:14:01.200,2:14:06.560
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ!

2:14:06.560,2:14:17.960
Who are you?

2:14:17.960,2:14:23.360
What have you done to her?

2:14:23.360,2:14:27.920
‘Depression.’

2:14:27.920,2:14:31.600
What else you have done to her?

2:14:31.600,2:14:35.480
‘Spirit of suicide.’

2:14:35.480,2:14:44.360
How did you enter her?

2:14:44.360,2:14:48.560
‘Pornography.’

2:14:48.560,2:14:51.760
So right now, you demon - [br]your time has expired!

2:14:51.760,2:15:03.520
Leave her! Come out, in Jesus’ name![br]Come out right now!

2:15:03.520,2:15:06.080
In Jesus’ name.

2:15:06.080,2:15:13.680
Sister, you are free! Rise up.[br]Glory be to God!

2:15:20.360,2:15:27.520
My name is Jany.[br]I was suffering from personality problems.

2:15:27.520,2:15:32.440
I felt like I didn’t have an identity.[br]I had low self-esteem.

2:15:32.440,2:15:39.360
At one point, I hated myself so much [br]that I tried to kill myself three times.

2:15:39.360,2:15:42.120
But every time I tried to take my life, [br]I would hear a voice saying,

2:15:42.120,2:15:48.360
‘It is not yet your time to die; [br]I have a purpose for you.’

2:15:48.360,2:15:55.600
I am studying music at school; [br]I play the flute.

2:15:55.600,2:16:06.560
It is a large school with people from different provinces, backgrounds, faiths and mindsets.

2:16:06.560,2:16:13.520
In the school, there is a lot of perversion and sexual immorality.

2:16:13.520,2:16:23.040
There are drugs, alcohol and prostitution - everything you can imagine.

2:16:23.040,2:16:38.360
The friends I stayed with lived a very liberal and worldly life.

2:16:38.360,2:16:45.160
They used to tell me about their private lives, what they had done and wanted to do.

2:16:45.160,2:16:55.600
I was focused on Jesus but I began to feel like an outsider in the group.

2:16:55.600,2:17:00.560
I felt my life was very boring and I never had any interesting stories to tell others.

2:17:00.560,2:17:14.960
In order to release that ‘stress’, [br]I started practising masturbation.

2:17:14.960,2:17:19.880
I would watch pornographic videos and have lustful thoughts.

2:17:19.880,2:17:26.120
It reached a point where I could not even sleep; I suffered from insomnia.

2:17:26.120,2:17:33.600
For three months, I was completely unable to sleep. I slept in the day, not at night.

2:17:33.600,2:17:37.680
If I didn’t masturbate, I couldn’t sleep at all.

2:17:37.680,2:17:42.320
It got so bad that even after masturbating, [br]I couldn’t sleep.

2:17:42.320,2:17:46.520
Evil spirits would torment me; I would feel an evil spirit lying down next to me.

2:17:46.520,2:17:55.120
I would see shadows and objects moving in my room.

2:17:55.120,2:18:01.800
So, do you mean that what you thought would bring a solution to your situation -

2:18:01.800,2:18:07.080
that through watching pornography and masturbating, you would be satisfied -

2:18:07.080,2:18:10.560
actually made things even worse?

2:18:10.560,2:18:13.480
Yes, that’s what I meant.

2:18:13.480,2:18:18.920
This only left me in the same emptiness with the desire to die.

2:18:18.920,2:18:23.720
I would think my life was worthless, [br]I was ugly and horrible.

2:18:23.720,2:18:26.280
I hated myself; I wanted to die.

2:18:26.280,2:18:34.480
On the fourth floor of the building where[br]I took my music classes,

2:18:34.480,2:18:41.440
I would look out the window and think about how to jump out.

2:18:41.440,2:18:45.560
But this voice would tell me, [br]‘Don’t jump; I am with you.’

2:18:45.560,2:18:53.240
What happened yesterday when you received a touch from Jesus Christ?

2:18:53.240,2:19:02.680
Yesterday, when I saw the ministration had started, I felt something burning in my stomach

2:19:02.680,2:19:05.920
and I couldn’t stop my hands from shaking.

2:19:05.920,2:19:14.360
When Brother Chris touched my forehead, [br]it felt like something exploded!

2:19:14.360,2:19:20.120
And when I fell to the ground, [br]I felt that something was uprooted!

2:19:20.120,2:19:24.920
Because I used to feel an oppression [br]in my heart - bitterness.

2:19:24.920,2:19:35.960
Something completely left me and I felt like [br]I was in a new body.

2:19:35.960,2:19:43.240
So, after your powerful deliverance, tell us how you are now and how you slept?

2:19:43.240,2:19:46.360
And what is your advice to those listening to you right now?

2:19:46.360,2:19:50.360
I slept like a baby - like never before in my life!

2:19:50.360,2:19:54.200
I couldn’t sleep for three months[br]but now I am sleeping like a baby.

2:19:54.200,2:20:01.760
Glory be to God!

2:20:01.760,2:20:11.320
Now, my self-esteem is restored. I know God created us and everything He created is perfect!

2:20:11.320,2:20:16.120
No matter how you look, since God created you like that, it serves a purpose.

2:20:16.120,2:20:20.440
He’s not looking at your appearance [br]but what is in your heart.

2:20:20.440,2:20:26.280
I want to advise the youth - [br]don’t be ashamed to receive deliverance.

2:20:26.280,2:20:29.080
‘I will appear on the cameras; I will vomit.’

2:20:29.080,2:20:32.600
Because satan is not ashamed [br]to destroy your soul.

2:20:32.600,2:20:35.600
You need deliverance! [br]Because if you are not delivered,

2:20:35.600,2:20:41.920
you cannot experience [br]the precious things of God!

2:20:48.240,2:20:55.320
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ!

2:20:55.320,2:20:58.560
Be healed, in Jesus’ name.

2:20:58.560,2:21:06.480
Out - you sickness!

2:21:06.480,2:21:11.400
Out of her right now!

2:21:11.400,2:21:20.880
In Jesus’ name.

2:21:20.880,2:21:29.560
Check yourself.

2:21:29.560,2:21:31.880
Are you feeling any pain?

2:21:31.880,2:21:32.560
No.

2:21:32.920,2:21:38.320
Good morning. My name is Lizeth.[br]I am from Mayabeque, San José.

2:21:38.320,2:21:41.240
When I was four years old, [br]I had an operation on my knee

2:21:41.240,2:21:43.720
because I couldn’t bend it.

2:21:43.720,2:21:51.040
After that, I could do physical activities but over the years it affected me

2:21:51.040,2:21:54.800
because the knee problem returned.

2:21:54.800,2:21:57.520
My knee cartilage was damaged.

2:21:57.520,2:22:00.880
This problem prevented me [br]from riding a bicycle,

2:22:00.880,2:22:06.680
climbing stairs and [br]other physical activities.

2:22:06.680,2:22:12.840
If I tried to ride a bicycle or climb stairs, [br]I would feel severe pain.

2:22:12.840,2:22:18.880
I would feel a lot of pain [br]and take painkillers every night.

2:22:18.880,2:22:25.560
Most of the time, the painkillers would reduce the pain but not remove it.

2:22:25.560,2:22:30.840
When Brother Chris started praying, [br]even before he ministered to me,

2:22:30.840,2:22:34.360
I started feeling cramps inside of me.

2:22:34.360,2:22:36.120
I could not explain it.

2:22:36.120,2:22:41.360
When Brother Chris prayed for me, [br]I felt a fresh sensation on my knee.

2:22:41.360,2:22:49.280
It was like a cold menthol vapour[br]around my knee.

2:22:49.280,2:22:51.080
How are you this morning?

2:22:51.080,2:22:53.920
Today, I woke up completely different.

2:22:53.920,2:23:09.000
For the past two days, I was having[br]an unbearable pain but today I am fine.

2:23:09.600,2:23:14.360
What would you advise those listening to you here?

2:23:14.360,2:23:16.280
Just believe.

2:23:16.280,2:23:24.200
Although it might seem as if nothing is happening, God’s time is the best for your miracle.

2:23:24.200,2:23:29.840
Don’t give room to doubt and unbelief [br]because even when God performs a miracle,

2:23:29.840,2:23:35.280
satan wants to plant a seed [br]of doubt in our minds.

2:23:35.280,2:23:37.120
God did it for me!

2:23:37.120,2:23:42.960
Amen. Put your hands together [br]for Jesus Christ.

2:23:42.960,2:23:45.880
Please demonstrate your healing.

2:23:45.880,2:23:52.920
Please exercise your knee [br]and tell us what do you feel?

2:23:52.920,2:23:58.240
Before, when I did this, I would feel pain but now I no longer feel pain!

2:23:58.240,2:24:02.440
I give thanks to Jesus for my healing!

2:24:09.440,2:24:15.320
In the mighty name of Jesus!

2:24:15.320,2:24:20.040
Out of her right now!

2:24:20.040,2:24:24.600
Who are you?

2:24:24.600,2:24:32.240
‘I am sickness.’

2:24:32.240,2:24:39.120
Every spirit of sickness - come out, [br]in Jesus’ name!

2:24:45.680,2:24:52.040
Welcome, sister. Please tell us your name and the problem you had before coming here?

2:24:52.040,2:24:57.400
My name is Andriana. I am from Las Tunas Province and I’m a Pastor’s daughter.

2:24:57.400,2:25:04.680
About one year ago, I suffered from the hepatitis virus.

2:25:04.680,2:25:08.080
It left me afflicted with serious bone pain.

2:25:08.080,2:25:15.760
I suffered in silence, thinking I had a serious bone disease.

2:25:15.760,2:25:21.880
And yesterday, without expecting it - [br]I had unbelief in my heart -

2:25:21.880,2:25:28.760
even while doubting, when Brother Chris prayed for me, I was completely healed!

2:25:28.760,2:25:34.680
I couldn’t do this but now I can!

2:25:34.680,2:25:39.360
I don’t have any pain.

2:25:39.360,2:25:45.680
My mum didn’t want to take me to the doctors because she was afraid

2:25:45.680,2:25:47.920
they would diagnose a serious disease - but my grandmother did.

2:25:47.920,2:25:52.120
They told us it may be cancer.

2:25:52.120,2:25:55.960
When I heard that, I just said, [br]‘Lord, let Your will be done.’

2:25:55.960,2:26:01.520
But I was not expecting that at this event, [br]I was going to be completely healed!

2:26:01.520,2:26:08.440
Thank You, Jesus, for healing me![br]I give thanks to God.

2:26:08.440,2:26:11.960
Brethren, I advise you - don’t be ashamed!

2:26:11.960,2:26:14.080
Come forward and receive your blessing!

2:26:14.080,2:26:17.800
Make the most of this because the glory of God is here!

2:26:17.800,2:26:25.000
If God did it for me, [br]He can do it for all of you!

2:26:28.920,2:26:34.000
My name is Susana. [br]I am from Las Tunas Province.

2:26:34.000,2:26:41.800
Since I was very young, from the age of 11-12, the enemy attacked me with depression.

2:26:41.800,2:26:55.400
This led to insomnia, stress, anxiety [br]and low self-esteem.

2:26:55.400,2:26:58.240
I was emotionally imbalanced.

2:26:58.240,2:27:07.400
But thank God - when I came to the prayer line, I began to feel God’s presence.

2:27:07.400,2:27:11.160
My body started shaking.

2:27:11.160,2:27:15.280
When Brother Chris prayed for me,

2:27:15.280,2:27:27.240
I felt all the oppression I had accumulated over the years instantly disappear!

2:27:27.240,2:27:35.520
Hallelujah! Tell us how you are now, how you slept and your advice to the youth?

2:27:35.520,2:27:40.160
I am feeling very fine! Last night, [br]I slept really well - to the glory of God.

2:27:40.160,2:27:45.200
My advice is - don’t stop seeking [br]your deliverance.

2:27:45.200,2:27:48.720
It took me eight years.

2:27:48.720,2:27:55.080
But there is always a moment where the Holy Spirit visits you,

2:27:55.080,2:27:56.560
and that is your point of deliverance.

2:27:56.560,2:28:03.800
So, don’t give up - even if the years pass by. Don’t stop seeking your deliverance.

2:28:27.360,2:28:34.560
There's nothing worth more[br]That will ever come close

2:28:34.560,2:28:45.000

2:28:45.000,2:28:55.240

With all your heart cry out to God.[br]He will not reject you.

2:32:51.960,2:32:58.760
A humble heart before Him is so priceless.

2:32:58.760,2:33:03.640
Humble yourself and tell Him,[br]‘Holy Spirit come!’

2:33:03.640,2:33:12.160
Holy Spirit, come and fill us!

2:33:16.280,2:33:22.960

Your Glory God [br]Is what our hearts long for

2:34:59.880,2:35:11.680
To be overcome by [br]Your Presence Lord

2:35:50.080,2:35:58.080
Before anything else, let us pray right now.

2:35:58.080,2:36:14.320
Lord Jesus Christ, [br]we thank You for Your presence here.

2:36:14.320,2:36:26.600
We thank You for the hearts[br]and lives You have touched.

2:36:26.600,2:36:42.840
As we are about to receive Your Word, [br]give us Divine understanding

2:36:42.840,2:36:55.880
and help us to make Your Word work in our lives.

2:36:55.880,2:37:04.800
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ we pray.

2:37:04.800,2:37:19.520
In Jesus’ name. Amen!

2:37:19.520,2:37:29.600
Yes, you may have your seats in the presence of God.

2:37:29.600,2:37:40.920
Grace and peace to you all, in Jesus’ name.

2:37:40.920,2:37:52.240
Now, many people, after hearing a message like the one you heard yesterday would ask the question,

2:37:52.240,2:37:59.160
‘Ok, Brother Chris, I understand generally that my purpose is to glorify God,

2:37:59.160,2:38:06.400
but I don’t know specifically what [br]He wants me to do in my life!’

2:38:21.600,2:38:37.640
In other words, ‘I want to know what God is calling me to do in the pursuit of that purpose.’

2:38:37.640,2:38:43.320
But I want you to consider this.

2:38:43.320,2:39:04.840
How can you know what God wants you to do[br]if you don’t have a genuine relationship with Him?

2:39:04.840,2:39:08.880
If you have a one-sided relationship -

2:39:08.880,2:39:14.960
maybe you speak to God in prayer but you are not hearing from Him -

2:39:14.960,2:39:20.040
how then can you know what [br]He wants you to do?

2:39:29.640,2:39:46.560
How can you glorify God if your heart is so often disconnected from Him?

2:39:46.560,2:39:52.520
How can you glorify God if your heart [br]is so often filled

2:39:52.520,2:39:59.920
with things that are inconsistent with His Word?

2:40:09.960,2:40:20.480
You see, everyone of us here has a Divine calling from God.

2:40:20.480,2:40:38.000
But your calling flows from your relationship with God, not the other way around.

2:40:38.000,2:40:44.200
If you are serious about following the direction of your calling,

2:40:44.200,2:40:53.840
you must be serious about taking care of your relationship with God.

2:41:04.360,2:41:22.800
I want to share with you three habits that should characterise every believer’s life.

2:41:22.800,2:41:31.160
And the genuine pursuit of your purpose will lead you to cultivate these habits -

2:41:31.160,2:41:35.120
these habits of holiness.

2:41:43.560,2:41:59.840
1. Every day, you must talk to God in prayer.

2:41:59.840,2:42:18.960
2. Every day, you must let God talk to you by reading the Bible.

2:42:18.960,2:42:40.640
3. Every day, you must talk to someone else about God.

2:42:40.640,2:42:59.560
If you are serious in your relationship with God,[br]these are things you must do on a daily basis.

2:42:59.560,2:43:06.160
Look, we are not talking today about theory, philosophy or history.

2:43:06.160,2:43:10.440
We are talking about practical Christianity.

2:43:16.840,2:43:32.600
Practical Christianity is not a hobby - it’s a lifestyle!

2:43:32.600,2:43:44.600
The fruit of your genuine pursuit of your purpose in life is revealed in your lifestyle -

2:43:44.600,2:43:51.040
day-by-day, hour-by-hour, minute-by-minute.

2:43:59.680,2:44:12.640
Your pursuit of your purpose in life starts with what is in your hands today.

2:44:12.640,2:44:25.760
It begins by glorifying God in your situation today, whatever it is.

2:44:25.760,2:44:35.920
It is expressed in the little things of your daily life.

2:44:35.920,2:44:40.880
Some of you hear this message and think, ‘Well, maybe the calling you are referring to

2:44:40.880,2:44:46.160
is those who are just preaching the Word on the pulpit or in public ministry.’

2:44:46.160,2:44:53.160
No! I am talking about glorifying God in your day-to-day activities.

2:45:02.720,2:45:20.840
When you love your neighbour as yourself,[br]even when they respond to you with hatred,

2:45:20.840,2:45:30.640
you are walking a path that glorifies God.

2:45:30.640,2:45:40.600
When you choose to release forgiveness to that person who has wronged, hurt you,

2:45:40.600,2:45:46.960
even when, in the natural, [br]you have a right to hold offence,

2:45:46.960,2:45:51.480
when you release forgiveness, [br]you are glorifying God!

2:46:03.880,2:46:11.320
When you choose to work hard, [br]give your best,

2:46:11.320,2:46:16.160
pursue excellence in the assignment [br]ahead of you right now,

2:46:16.160,2:46:24.040
even when people don’t seem to appreciate you,[br]you are walking the path that glorifies God.

2:46:36.560,2:46:48.320
When you acknowledge your mistakes[br]and run to God in repentance,

2:46:48.320,2:46:54.400
even when it would be the easiest option to try and cover up your wrong

2:46:54.400,2:47:00.240
or justify your wrong or point fingers at others, what are you doing?

2:47:00.240,2:47:06.480
You are walking a path that glorifies God [br]in line with your purpose.

2:47:06.480,2:47:21.040
Can you see, people of God?[br]I am talking about honouring God in your daily life.

2:47:21.040,2:47:32.120
Even the examples I just gave you are things everyone here can identify with.

2:47:32.120,2:47:42.280
With the right perspective of life,

2:47:42.280,2:47:55.520
everything you pass through is an opportunity to build your character.

2:47:55.520,2:48:13.160
Mistakes in the pursuit of purpose are actually building blocks.

2:48:13.160,2:48:16.880
We may make mistakes; no one is perfect.

2:48:16.880,2:48:23.960
But when our focus is on pursuing the purpose of God for our lives,

2:48:23.960,2:48:27.440
those mistakes will actually bring us closer to God -

2:48:27.440,2:48:32.560
strengthen our faith, [br]encourage us in our walk of faith.

2:48:49.080,2:49:08.520
Disappointments in the pursuit of purpose are actually just stepping stones to success.

2:49:08.520,2:49:18.800
Stepping stones to progress, [br]to success, to advancement.

2:49:18.800,2:49:23.280
We can be disappointed, yes!

2:49:23.280,2:49:35.000
But God can use that disappointment for our advancement.

2:49:35.000,2:49:53.280
Failure, or let me say ‘seeming failure’, in the pursuit of purpose is just a life lesson.

2:49:53.280,2:49:57.160
I say ‘seeming failure’ because it just looks like failure -

2:49:57.160,2:50:00.160
it’s actually preparation for success.

2:50:06.160,2:50:17.440
With the maturity that comes from faith,[br]you will recognise that

2:50:17.440,2:50:27.040
to a Christian, nothing is lacking,[br]while everything is necessary.

2:50:27.040,2:50:33.280
With the right perspective of life!

2:50:33.280,2:50:43.160
This is why, as I stressed yesterday, [br]casting blame and pointing fingers

2:50:43.160,2:50:50.720
are enemies of progress, [br]enemies of spiritual maturity.

2:50:58.600,2:51:19.440
I want to read you a Scripture with some wisdom of Solomon in Proverbs 4:23-27.

2:51:19.440,2:51:21.440
Remember what I said yesterday -

2:51:21.440,2:51:28.280
the challenge that lies before us is not one of purpose; it is one of focus.

2:51:34.960,2:51:50.440
Proverbs 4:23 - “Keep your heart (guard your heart) with all diligence,

2:51:50.440,2:51:59.600
for out of it springs the issues of life.

2:51:59.600,2:52:14.880
Put away from you a deceitful mouth, [br]and put perverse lips far from you.

2:52:14.880,2:52:27.840
Let your eyes look straight ahead,[br]and your eyelids look right before you.

2:52:27.840,2:52:37.800
Ponder the path of your feet, [br]and let all your ways be established.

2:52:37.800,2:52:46.440
Do not turn to the right or the left;

2:52:46.440,2:52:51.680
remove your foot from evil.”

2:52:51.680,2:53:06.200
This is a Scripture about focus - rightful focus!

2:53:06.200,2:53:24.840
To have rightful focus, you must guard your heart.

2:53:24.840,2:53:31.800
You must take care of your heart.

2:53:31.800,2:53:46.280
Because people of God, we are living in a world that is full of distractions.

2:53:46.280,2:53:56.000
If you don’t have a purpose, [br]it’s very easy to be polluted.

2:53:56.000,2:53:59.440
In fact, I would say this -

2:53:59.440,2:54:06.720
purposeless pastimes are [br]an easy pathway to sin.

2:54:06.720,2:54:10.560
Purposeless! When you don’t have a purpose for what you are doing,

2:54:10.560,2:54:16.160
you can easily be distracted down the road of unrighteousness.

2:54:22.920,2:54:29.040
We are living in a world full of distraction.

2:54:29.040,2:54:41.600
Let me give you a warning that is especially relevant for us as young people.

2:54:41.600,2:55:00.640
Comparison and carnal competition - [br]they are weapons of mass distraction.

2:55:00.640,2:55:13.120
Comparing yourself with others is a waste of time and energy.

2:55:13.120,2:55:26.160
Because God created you to be unique!

2:55:26.160,2:55:34.680
When it comes to destiny, there is no competition.

2:55:34.680,2:55:41.800
You are what God says you are.

2:55:41.800,2:55:48.080
What is for you is for you.

2:55:48.080,2:55:50.920
You are not what the world says you are.

2:55:50.920,2:55:53.720
You are not what society says you are.

2:55:53.720,2:55:58.000
You are not what friends and people around you say you are.

2:55:58.000,2:56:00.960
You are what God says you are!

2:56:07.440,2:56:18.680
You see, if you pursue God’s goal for your life,

2:56:18.680,2:56:23.520
yes, troubles will come -

2:56:23.520,2:56:35.240
but when they come, God will equip you to face it and strengthen you to overcome it.

2:56:35.240,2:56:43.680
But if you are pursuing God’s goal for someone else

2:56:43.680,2:56:52.360
maybe because of imitation [br]or unhealthy comparison

2:56:52.360,2:56:58.800
you may seem to be okay on the journey; you may seem to ‘get away with it’.

2:56:58.800,2:57:09.560
But very soon you will encounter a trouble that God has not equipped you to face.

2:57:09.560,2:57:17.520
And when that happens, it will likely derail you.

2:57:17.520,2:57:27.000
To guard your heart, avoid the trap of comparison.

2:57:27.000,2:57:32.360
I want to give you an assignment [br]that I want you to do

2:57:32.360,2:57:35.680
when we finish this gathering[br]and you go back home.

2:57:40.920,2:57:52.480
I want you go and meet your parents - [br]your mother or father.

2:57:52.480,2:58:03.920
Or perhaps your grandparents - someone who is in a position of authority in your life.

2:58:03.920,2:58:08.920
And I want you to ask them something.

2:58:08.920,2:58:24.480
You can say, ‘mum, dad, my grandmother, my grandfather, tell me -

2:58:24.480,2:58:38.240
if you were back at my age, what are things you would have done differently?’

2:58:38.240,2:58:47.160
Because many of our parents here are regretting.

2:58:47.160,2:58:53.800
If they could, they would want to turn back the hands of time to correct

2:58:53.800,2:58:57.680
many of the mistakes they made at your age.

2:59:04.520,2:59:10.320
Don’t let this happen to you.

2:59:10.320,2:59:17.000
Young people, you have not yet [br]gone too far.

2:59:17.000,2:59:21.600
Your Divine destiny awaits you!

2:59:21.600,2:59:25.880
You can still make adjustment!

2:59:25.880,2:59:32.880
You can still make correction!

2:59:32.880,2:59:41.120
Don’t trust worldly wisdom.

2:59:41.120,2:59:47.960
Don’t follow man’s majority.

2:59:47.960,3:00:00.760
Don’t wait for a more convenient time to get your heart right with God.

3:00:00.760,3:00:08.240
Because time waits for no one.

3:00:08.240,3:00:12.240
That is why I am encouraging you with this message

3:00:12.240,3:00:33.800
to build your life around the pursuit of your purpose.

3:00:33.800,3:00:52.720
I will leave you, in this message, with the words of Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 10.

3:00:52.720,3:01:05.480
1 Corinthians 10:31 - “Therefore, [br]whether you eat or drink,

3:01:05.480,3:01:09.400
whatever you do,” -

3:01:09.400,3:01:14.040
whether at school or at work,

3:01:14.040,3:01:18.840
whether with your family or with your friends,

3:01:18.840,3:01:26.120
whether you are in church or a sporting activity,

3:01:26.120,3:01:39.960
“...whatever you do, do all to the glory of God!”

3:01:39.960,3:01:52.720
May God bless His Word in the [br]midst of our hearts, in Jesus’ name.

3:01:56.640,3:02:03.720
Right now, I want to give you an opportunity to ask any questions.

3:02:03.720,3:02:07.360
If you have a question to ask, [br]just indicate by raising your hand.

3:02:16.120,3:02:21.400
I would like to know - when we have many gifts and talents,

3:02:21.400,3:02:25.120
how can we know what our [br]specific purpose is?

3:02:25.120,3:02:35.800
Ok. So for you, brother, let’s be personal.[br]What is the talent you are talking about?

3:02:35.800,3:02:39.920
Music.

3:02:39.920,3:02:43.800
Ok. Music - it’s a good example.

3:02:43.800,3:02:52.760
We know from the Bible that music is a gift from God.

3:02:52.760,3:02:57.720
But look at society today.

3:02:57.720,3:03:11.040
A lot of people are using the gift they receive from God to glorify the devil.

3:03:11.040,3:03:15.160
Brother, if God has gifted you in the area of music - wonderful!

3:03:15.160,3:03:19.680
Make music for the glory of God, [br]not to celebrate the world,

3:03:19.680,3:03:27.520
not to celebrate money, lust or all these foolish and futile things. For God!

3:03:47.200,3:04:03.160
If you use your gift for the glory of God, [br]He will continue to increase it.

3:04:03.160,3:04:19.360
And He will not take you to a place that your character is not enough to maintain.

3:04:26.040,3:04:34.200
Because many people today - [br]they can reach somewhere with gift

3:04:34.200,3:04:38.960
but they quickly fall because they lack character.

3:04:54.040,3:04:59.160
If you are gifted

3:04:59.160,3:05:12.480
and you realise you are not at the place you expect to be with the gift you have,

3:05:12.480,3:05:29.600
perhaps God is preserving you for you to work on your character.

3:05:29.600,3:05:43.480
Gift begins; character finishes.

3:05:43.480,3:05:49.520
So, thank you brother. God bless you![br]It’s a good question.

3:05:49.520,3:05:52.080
Good afternoon. My name is Dayron.

3:05:52.080,3:06:00.720
As a young man who grew up under the mentorship of Prophet T.B. Joshua

3:06:00.720,3:06:06.840
can you give us some examples of how to have a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit,

3:06:06.840,3:06:14.440
to reach the level that God moved[br]in The SCOAN?

3:06:14.440,3:06:19.400
OK! It’s a good question.

3:06:19.400,3:06:30.000
I said something yesterday, [br]that my journey is different to yours.

3:06:30.000,3:06:39.400
And faith is not based on imitation.

3:06:39.400,3:06:56.760
It’s based on the Word of God in our hearts and the conviction that comes from that.

3:06:56.760,3:07:07.560
So, I can mention to you today some specific things that I did.

3:07:07.560,3:07:12.880
But I am not you and you are not me.

3:07:12.880,3:07:20.640
You need to know, through God’s Word, what He wants you to do in your situation,

3:07:20.640,3:07:24.200
based in your calling in life.

3:07:37.640,3:07:44.840
But I can give you some principles

3:07:44.840,3:07:57.280
that can help everyone, irrespective of what God wants you to do.

3:07:57.280,3:08:00.360
I will give you one.

3:08:00.360,3:08:13.440
When you wake up in the morning, [br]the first person you should greet is God.

3:08:13.440,3:08:34.400
Many of us today, when we wake up in the morning, the first thing we greet is our phone.

3:08:34.400,3:08:45.600
If you can begin your day[br]on your knees in prayer,

3:08:45.600,3:08:53.960
you start the day on the right foundation.

3:08:53.960,3:09:03.160
Prophet T.B. Joshua lived a life of prayer.

3:09:03.160,3:09:15.080
We are not talking about prayer on Sundays or when it’s time for service.

3:09:15.080,3:09:23.720
He lived a life of prayer on a daily basis.

3:09:23.720,3:09:30.160
He said, “I took care of the depth of my relationship with God

3:09:30.160,3:09:34.560
and Jesus took care of the[br]breadth of my success.”

3:09:48.880,3:10:02.680
So, people of God, there is no special formula when it comes to spiritual growth.

3:10:02.680,3:10:13.440
If you want to build your relationship with God,[br]you must be prepared to give quality time.

3:10:23.280,3:10:28.520
It’s a sacrificial lifestyle.

3:10:28.520,3:10:32.000
Because to give that time,

3:10:32.000,3:10:39.840
there are some other areas of your life you are going to have to sacrifice.

3:10:39.840,3:10:46.440
But I tell you - whatever you lose for God’s sake,

3:10:46.440,3:10:54.200
you will gain a thousand-fold.

3:10:54.200,3:11:05.240
So, thank you, brother. I have just given you one but it’s something for you to feed on.

3:11:05.240,3:11:09.200
Ok, let’s hear from our brother here.

3:11:09.200,3:11:13.040
My name is Diolio and I’m 24.

3:11:13.040,3:11:19.080
My question is - what advice would you give to yourself,

3:11:19.080,3:11:23.720
with your experiences in the Lord,[br]if you were 24 years old.

3:11:23.720,3:11:34.040
I’m still a young man; I’m not that old!

3:11:34.040,3:11:39.600
I’m 35 years old.

3:11:39.600,3:11:45.400
So, I consider myself a youth still.

3:11:45.400,3:11:54.520
We have so many influences surrounding us.

3:11:54.520,3:12:01.440
But the best influence is the Holy Spirit.

3:12:01.440,3:12:04.840
If there is anything I would have done differently,

3:12:04.840,3:12:11.760
it would be to spend even more time pursuing my relationship with God -

3:12:11.760,3:12:16.120
even more time in prayer, [br]even more time in the Word,

3:12:16.120,3:12:23.880
even more time in God’s presence because these are things that are priceless.

3:12:44.880,3:13:00.360
If something is priceless, you should be ready to pay any price for it.

3:13:00.360,3:13:12.840
Jesus said, ‘If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off.’

3:13:12.840,3:13:26.360
Pay any price to pursue your relationship with Christ.

3:13:26.360,3:13:31.840
Ok, we want to hear from a sister.[br]Thank you, sister.

3:13:31.840,3:13:36.080
Blessings. My name is Yunet.

3:13:36.080,3:13:42.640
How can I remain in the love and fear of God?

3:13:42.640,3:13:46.000
Because it has been very difficult for me.

3:13:46.000,3:13:54.600
So, let’s ask you, sister. If you examine yourself, what are the things that are

3:13:54.600,3:13:57.800
affecting your love for God or your fear of God.

3:13:57.800,3:13:59.400
Just mention any of those things.

3:14:09.280,3:14:14.280
Lust and anger.

3:14:14.280,3:14:23.400
So, yesterday, by God’s grace, [br]I prayed for people for deliverance.

3:14:23.400,3:14:27.560
Deliverance means uprooting anything spiritual

3:14:27.560,3:14:31.480
that is pushing you to do something contrary to your will.

3:14:43.920,3:14:59.040
Now you are delivered, [br]you have the choice to say yes or no.

3:14:59.040,3:15:04.200
Don’t be too fast to clap.

3:15:04.200,3:15:12.000
Because the deliverance will not remove temptation.

3:15:12.000,3:15:21.520
If anything, the deliverance [br]will increase temptation.

3:15:21.520,3:15:26.800
Because the devil does not want you to be free.

3:15:26.800,3:15:40.280
That’s why you must be serious in your relationship with God to maintain what you receive.

3:15:40.280,3:15:43.760
So, let’s talk about lust.

3:15:43.760,3:16:00.080
Many people today blame the devil for entering the doors they leave open to him.

3:16:00.080,3:16:11.680
You are one that opened the door to him and you are surprised when he enters and strikes.

3:16:11.680,3:16:16.920
You are tempting the devil to tempt you.

3:16:16.920,3:16:21.760
‘God, deliver me from the spirit of lust’ - [br]but check your phone.

3:16:21.760,3:16:25.360
Many of the pictures on your phone, [br]if you ask me to check it -

3:16:25.360,3:16:26.640
you would want to delete them.

3:16:45.520,3:16:53.920
So, what I am saying to my sister is that if you identify the areas of your life

3:16:53.920,3:16:58.360
that are affecting your relationship with God,

3:16:58.360,3:17:06.240
identifying those areas must now bring you to a place of deeper commitment to God

3:17:06.240,3:17:08.400
to overcome those temptations.

3:17:28.120,3:17:35.040
If we examine ourselves sincerely,

3:17:35.040,3:17:46.480
the cause of our inconsistent[br]relationship with God

3:17:46.480,3:17:53.440
is not too far from ourselves.

3:17:53.440,3:17:58.200
So, the answer is in your hands.

3:17:58.200,3:18:02.320
If you take the message you have received in this conference,

3:18:02.320,3:18:17.480
you are equipped to maintain a fear of God.

3:18:17.480,3:18:19.760
Thank you.

3:18:19.760,3:18:23.440
My name is Mario and I’m 27.

3:18:23.440,3:18:27.480
I have two questions that are related.

3:18:27.480,3:18:40.840
First, there is a common trend of thinking that to be successful, you must get married at any cost.

3:18:40.840,3:18:47.720
However, we have seen in your own life that there was a process

3:18:47.720,3:18:55.520
and with God at the centre, at the right time, He brought the right person.

3:18:55.520,3:19:05.440
What should be our focus as young people with God at the centre of our lives,

3:19:05.440,3:19:13.240
to have the conviction it’s the right person coming with the right motives?

3:19:13.240,3:19:21.120
Secondly, how can we know if our calling does not include marriage?

3:19:21.120,3:19:24.520
Ok. Thank you for the question.

3:19:24.520,3:19:39.920
So, first of all, let me say to everyone - [br]this is my wife.

3:19:39.920,3:19:51.640
I can give advice on this issue from practical experience now.

3:19:51.640,3:20:10.280
I came to a point where I said to myself, [br]‘If I don’t get married, I’m content.’

3:20:10.280,3:20:14.120
And when I arrived at a place of contentment,

3:20:14.120,3:20:25.600
the issue of marriage no longer[br]became a burden.

3:20:25.600,3:20:45.960
And when it no longer became a burden, God gave me my wife from Heaven.

3:20:45.960,3:20:51.240
Why am I saying this?

3:20:51.240,3:21:00.120
If you seek marriage before God,

3:21:00.120,3:21:11.320
you may enter a marriage that will affect your relationship with God.

3:21:11.320,3:21:22.600
So, the issue of marriage is more about maturity.

3:21:22.600,3:21:29.040
If you are mature spiritually

3:21:29.040,3:21:39.080
and God’s appointed time comes for you to get married,

3:21:39.080,3:21:52.040
there will be heart agreement in line with the pursuit of purpose.

3:21:52.040,3:21:54.400
Look, when we talk of heart agreement,

3:21:54.400,3:21:57.920
you don’t need anyone else to confirm[br]to you; you know!

3:22:04.440,3:22:08.440
If you are in a relationship with someone and your heart is disturbed

3:22:08.440,3:22:11.960
and you keep saying, ‘I’m not sure’,

3:22:11.960,3:22:15.720
I would suggest to you,[br]he is not ‘the one’ - she is not ‘the one’.

3:22:28.240,3:22:31.960
God speaks to our hearts.

3:22:31.960,3:22:45.200
He will not lead you to a relationship that is going to affect your life negatively.

3:22:45.200,3:22:49.720
So, if you are in the right place with God,

3:22:49.720,3:22:54.440
and God’s time comes for you to get married,

3:22:54.440,3:23:06.680
the Spirit of God will bear witness with your spirit.

3:23:06.680,3:23:13.680
I will quickly share a short story.

3:23:13.680,3:23:21.920
When God put it in my heart to speak to Allison,

3:23:21.920,3:23:35.760
within three minutes, I went from saying the feelings that were in my heart

3:23:35.760,3:23:40.200
to saying, ‘Will you marry me?’

3:23:40.200,3:23:45.640
Three minutes!

3:23:45.640,3:23:56.360
Now, I want to stress that I’m not saying my case will be the same for all of you.

3:23:56.360,3:24:05.200
What I am saying is that when God speaks to your heart, you will know.

3:24:05.200,3:24:14.720
So, your concern should be to be in the right place with God.

3:24:14.720,3:24:19.320
When you are in the right place with God

3:24:19.320,3:24:28.920
and His time comes for you to get married, it will happen spontaneously.

3:24:28.920,3:24:33.720
And based on our brother’s question, if it’s not the will of God for you to get married,

3:24:33.720,3:24:38.640
you will continue your journey with contentment, not burdened.

3:24:51.880,3:24:58.280
So, that is my advice concerning that.

3:24:58.280,3:25:09.480
Nowadays, many in the church have idolised family above God

3:25:09.480,3:25:15.240
and give family the greatest attention[br]in their lives.

3:25:15.240,3:25:18.840
But the Bible says those who are willing to follow Jesus

3:25:18.840,3:25:24.320
must be ready to sacrifice family, business, marital time.

3:25:24.320,3:25:27.680
So, without removing the value of family,

3:25:27.680,3:25:30.640
to bring the move of God we desire in Cuba

3:25:30.640,3:25:33.360
and prioritise our relationship with God,

3:25:33.360,3:25:36.320
to what extent should we be prepared to make such sacrifices?

3:25:36.320,3:25:49.920
So, let me take you to the Book of [br]Mark 3 from verse 31.

3:25:49.920,3:26:04.560
“Jesus’ mother and brothers came, and standing outside they sent to Him, calling Him.

3:26:04.560,3:26:10.280
And a multitude was sitting around Him;

3:26:10.280,3:26:19.960
and they said to Him, ‘Look, Your mother and Your brothers are outside seeking You.’

3:26:19.960,3:26:27.200
But He answered them, saying, [br]‘Who is My mother, or My brothers?’

3:26:27.200,3:26:30.840
And He looked around in a circle at those who sat about Him, and said,

3:26:30.840,3:26:33.040
‘Here are My mother and My brothers!

3:26:40.160,3:26:50.120
For whoever does the will of God is My brother and My sister and mother’.”

3:26:50.120,3:27:02.400
Now, Jesus is not saying here that He is denying His biological family.

3:27:02.400,3:27:21.480
We know the role that Jesus’ mother played in His ministry and later on, His brothers as well.

3:27:21.480,3:27:32.400
So, this Scripture is not saying, [br]‘I don’t have mother, brother or family.’ No!

3:27:32.400,3:27:54.040
What Jesus is saying here is that the [br]Spirit is thicker than the blood.

3:27:54.040,3:28:05.720
Jesus was there on an assignment from God, teaching the people.

3:28:05.720,3:28:11.960
That spiritual assignment was more important at that moment

3:28:11.960,3:28:15.920
than the pressure of His mother and brothers wanting to see Him.

3:28:27.720,3:28:32.640
So, the issue of managing your family, [br]your human responsibilities -

3:28:32.640,3:28:36.640
you must do so, it is good, [br]there is nothing wrong with that -

3:28:36.640,3:28:40.960
but not at the price of your spiritual life.

3:28:56.440,3:29:04.280
It’s a matter of understanding your priorities.

3:29:04.280,3:29:12.840
How can you be an effective father, mother, brother or sister that shows love

3:29:12.840,3:29:17.320
and helps your family if you are not in the right place with God?

3:29:33.440,3:29:46.240
The greatest way you can help your family[br]is to take care of your relationship with God.

3:29:46.240,3:29:56.440
Because the overflow of your relationship with God will bless those around you.

3:29:56.440,3:30:05.960
So, if you are now experiencing spiritual stagnancy because you are giving

3:30:05.960,3:30:12.160
too much time, attention, focus, interest [br]to your family - check yourself.

3:30:27.560,3:30:32.840
Family is very important.

3:30:32.840,3:30:39.920
But when you stand before Jesus [br]on the last day,

3:30:39.920,3:30:42.920
your wife will not be there.

3:30:42.920,3:30:48.760
Your father will not be there; [br]your mother will not be there.

3:30:48.760,3:30:53.640
It’s you and Jesus.

3:30:53.640,3:30:58.280
Thank you.

3:30:59.920,3:31:04.880
Blessings. My name is Carla; I’m 23.

3:31:04.880,3:31:13.080
If you have the desire to serve God full-time, when do you know it’s the right time?

3:31:13.080,3:31:16.600
How do I know the thoughts in favour of this are not just my own thoughts

3:31:16.600,3:31:20.600
and the thoughts against it are not attacks from the enemy

3:31:20.600,3:31:25.320
but it’s actually God telling me He wants me to do this, that this is the right time?

3:31:25.320,3:31:38.040
The work of God is not a matter [br]of human qualifications.

3:31:38.040,3:31:47.720
When Jesus commissioned Peter in John 21,

3:31:47.720,3:32:01.960
He didn’t ask him if he was a qualified Bible teacher or gifted speaker.

3:32:01.960,3:32:09.200
He asked him the question, ‘Do you love Me?’

3:32:09.200,3:32:21.600
It is our love for Christ that is the basis of effective ministry.

3:32:21.600,3:32:33.800
If you take care of your relationship with God and He has called you to ministry,

3:32:33.800,3:32:45.920
events will unfold beyond your control[br]that will push you to your calling.

3:32:45.920,3:32:51.000
It will not be a question of ‘I’m not sure, [br]is it my thought or is it God’s thought?’

3:32:51.000,3:33:04.800
It will be a sign beyond human comprehension.

3:33:04.800,3:33:14.120
So, what should concern you is - [br]my love for Jesus.

3:33:14.120,3:33:19.320
That is the most important thing.

3:33:19.320,3:33:31.600
To do great things for Jesus, [br]you must have great love for Jesus.

3:33:31.600,3:33:36.000
Thank you.

3:33:36.000,3:33:41.640
So, my brother, go ahead.

3:33:41.640,3:33:45.600
My name is Fernando and I’m 18.

3:33:45.600,3:33:50.560
My question is what can we young people [br]do for the fire of God

3:33:50.560,3:33:54.080
and the desire to serve Him to not be quenched in our lives?

3:33:54.080,3:34:04.200
So, let me ask you brother. [br]What do you think quenches the fire of God?

3:34:04.200,3:34:06.920
Sin.

3:34:06.920,3:34:10.600
Ok, you have given the answer.

3:34:10.600,3:34:15.360
No one here is perfect.

3:34:15.360,3:34:19.320
All of us make mistakes.

3:34:19.320,3:34:26.880
But there is a difference between making a mistake in the pursuit of purpose

3:34:26.880,3:34:31.440
and committing sin in the pursuit of self-satisfaction.

3:34:46.040,3:34:53.920
What is the evidence the Holy Spirit [br]is dominating our heart?

3:34:53.920,3:35:05.360
It is when we do the wrong thing and we are convicted of sin.

3:35:05.360,3:35:14.520
‘God, I am sorry! I don’t want to do anything to break my relationship with You.’

3:35:14.520,3:35:24.640
You run to God in repentance - He restores you, and the fire is not quenched.

3:35:24.640,3:35:26.960
But check yourself.

3:35:26.960,3:35:32.440
If you do the wrong thing and your first response

3:35:32.440,3:35:38.680
is to make excuses, to justify yourself,

3:35:38.680,3:35:46.320
it shows the Spirit of God is not dominating your heart.

3:35:46.320,3:35:56.520
The Holy Spirit prompts our conscience to repentance.

3:35:56.520,3:36:12.520
But if you internally justify your wrong, [br]you remove the need for repentance.

3:36:12.520,3:36:18.640
At that moment, the fire is quenched.

3:36:18.640,3:36:29.000
Because the Spirit of God cannot share a heart dominated by sin.

3:36:29.000,3:36:33.440
I can just give you a very simple example.

3:36:33.440,3:36:39.640
Many of us here come to an event like this

3:36:39.640,3:36:46.920
and say, ‘Holy Spirit fire, fall on me!’

3:36:46.920,3:36:56.400
But we are still harbouring[br]unforgiveness towards someone.

3:36:56.400,3:37:05.440
The Holy Spirit cannot share [br]a heart with unforgiveness.

3:37:05.440,3:37:13.400
Because, in the case of offence, it is because someone has done something wrong to you,

3:37:13.400,3:37:19.200
it’s easy for you to feel justified in refusing to forgive.

3:37:35.440,3:37:47.840
You may feel justified before man, [br]but before God you have no right to hold offence.

3:37:47.840,3:37:59.440
Because Jesus died on the Cross and said, ‘Father, forgive them.’

3:37:59.440,3:38:03.480
If He did not withhold forgiveness from us,

3:38:03.480,3:38:06.760
who are we to withhold forgiveness[br]from someone?

3:38:15.040,3:38:25.320
I am just giving you one example of things[br]that can quench the fire of the Holy Spirit.

3:38:25.320,3:38:29.160
A heart full of offence.

3:38:29.160,3:38:33.720
So, thank you for the question, brother.

3:38:33.720,3:38:39.720
Good afternoon. Blessings, church![br]My name is Gema. I am from Mayabeque.

3:38:39.720,3:38:42.520
This is my question.

3:38:42.520,3:38:49.760
You have been talking a lot about character, God’s Word and communion with our Father.

3:38:49.760,3:39:02.960
How can we know in our lives if we have the calling or gift to manifest the glory of God

3:39:02.960,3:39:12.480
to deliver and change lives at the same level we saw you doing among us yesterday?

3:39:12.480,3:39:21.640
God’s Word reflects His character.

3:39:21.640,3:39:28.520
When it comes to character,[br]there are no shortcuts.

3:39:28.520,3:39:36.280
This life is a marathon, not a sprint.

3:39:36.280,3:39:52.400
I will quote Prophet T.B. Joshua. He said, [br]“We must value processing more than result.”

3:39:52.400,3:39:59.920
Processing builds character.

3:39:59.920,3:40:16.120
Rather than focusing on the fire,[br]focus on the oil.

3:40:16.120,3:40:30.800
The fire is gift; the oil is character.

3:40:30.800,3:40:38.600
So, give more attention to the oil,

3:40:38.600,3:40:44.600
which has to do with your relationship with God.

3:40:44.600,3:40:48.520
Because it’s not just about getting [br]somewhere or achieving something.

3:40:48.520,3:40:50.640
It’s about maintaining it to the end.

3:40:57.360,3:41:11.720
The evidence of genuineness is consistency.

3:41:16.280,3:41:26.960
Right now, place your hand on your heart.

3:41:26.960,3:41:41.200
Whatever barrier between your heart and the Holy Spirit -

3:41:41.200,3:41:57.400
be removed, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ!

3:41:57.400,3:42:15.120
I speak to every demonic chain surrounding your will.

3:42:15.120,3:42:21.360
Be broken today!

3:42:21.360,3:42:29.200
Be broken, in the name of Jesus Christ!

3:42:29.200,3:42:32.720
Every chain of nightmares,

Right now, every covenant of witchcraft in your family - be broken today!

3:44:34.040,3:44:52.000
That covenant of sorcery, that covenant of divination - be broken!

3:44:53.000,3:44:56.080
‘Witchcraft’

3:44:57.400,3:45:00.600
‘Anger’

3:45:02.400,3:45:16.080
Right now, whatever the devil has stolen in your life, I declare restoration!

3:45:45.480,3:45:53.400
I speak to that sickness.[br]I speak to that affliction.

3:45:53.400,3:46:10.320
By the precious Blood of Jesus Christ, [br]you sickness - be flushed out!

3:46:10.320,3:46:14.840
Be washed away!

3:46:14.840,3:46:16.600
Vomit it out right now!

3:46:16.600,3:46:21.360
Whatever that is not of God in your system - vomit it out right now!

3:46:21.360,3:46:26.840
Whatever you have eaten in the dream from the table of the enemy -

3:46:26.840,3:46:28.640
vomit it out right now!

3:46:28.640,3:46:35.640
Be free, in Jesus’ name.

Whatever mountain that stands between you and the promises of God -

3:46:45.280,3:46:51.160
I say, be removed!

3:46:51.160,3:46:58.760
Remove that mountain!

3:46:58.760,3:47:07.320
That barrier that stands between you and your Divine breakthrough -

3:47:07.320,3:47:22.360
by faith, begin to remove it right now!

3:47:22.360,3:47:43.520
I say to your spirit - be bound to [br]the Spirit of Christ!

3:47:43.520,3:47:49.960
We can see the Holy Spirit at work.

3:47:49.960,3:47:59.440
In this atmosphere, it is time [br]to pray for this nation.

3:47:59.440,3:48:17.440
Right now, every spiritual force working against the peace and progress of this nation -

3:48:17.440,3:48:33.040
I say, come out today! Come out!

3:48:33.040,3:48:38.840
Pray right now.

3:48:38.840,3:48:49.560
That spiritual force working against the peace and progress of Cuba,

3:49:09.920,3:49:26.080
Break those chains keeping the nation in darkness, keeping the nation in bondage!

3:49:26.080,3:49:32.400
Break those chains!

3:49:32.400,3:49:57.920
Be broken!

3:49:57.920,3:50:05.080
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

3:50:05.080,3:50:21.200
Every unclean spirit causing limitation in progress, stagnation for this nation -

3:50:21.200,3:50:39.000
right now, that unclean spirit, [br]I say come out!

3:50:44.520,3:50:49.440
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

3:50:49.440,3:50:57.960
Lord Jesus, You said in Your Word [br]in James 1:5

3:50:57.960,3:51:05.640
that if we come to You for wisdom, [br]You will give us.

3:51:05.640,3:51:19.880
Right now, on behalf of our leaders, [br]we ask for Your wisdom

3:51:19.880,3:51:25.320
in the decision-making of this nation.

3:51:25.320,3:51:41.800
Right now, commit your leaders to God in prayer. Ask for God’s wisdom.

3:52:01.240,3:52:10.720
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

3:52:10.720,3:52:15.240
Right now, repeat after me:

3:52:15.240,3:52:41.320
Lord Jesus Christ, [br]bring revival to this nation

3:52:41.320,3:52:46.640
for the advancement of Your Kingdom.

3:52:46.640,3:52:51.560
Right now, pray for revival.

3:52:51.560,3:53:00.800
Lord Jesus, bring revival to this nation for the advancement of Your Kingdom.

3:53:01.640,3:53:06.880
‘I make her sad.’

3:53:09.520,3:53:19.800
‘I make her fight with her children and husband.’

3:53:21.360,3:53:26.360
‘She will never be happy again.’

3:53:30.920,3:53:34.840
‘She’s alone’

3:53:40.080,3:53:44.920
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ!

3:53:44.920,3:53:51.520
Right now, let us pray for the Church[br]here in Cuba.

3:53:51.520,3:53:55.080
We are one in the body of Christ.

3:53:55.080,3:53:58.960
Ask God to strengthen the Church.

3:53:58.960,3:54:02.480
Ask God to strengthen the pastors.

3:54:02.480,3:54:06.560
Ask God to strengthen the spiritual leaders.

3:54:06.560,3:54:17.240
Ask God to strengthen right now.

3:54:17.240,3:54:22.440
Begin to pray for the Church.

3:54:25.040,3:54:34.560
We cannot rely on our own strength; [br]we rely on the strength from above.

3:54:34.560,3:54:43.640
Continue to pray for Divine strength [br]for the churches in Cuba.

3:54:43.640,3:54:55.400
Ask God for Divine direction and protection.

3:54:55.400,3:55:01.240
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

3:55:01.240,3:55:11.440
Right now, I pray for the youth of Cuba.

3:55:11.440,3:55:21.400
Lord Jesus, release Your Spirit of creativity upon the youth.

3:55:21.400,3:55:35.600
Receive it! Receive it right now!

3:55:35.600,3:55:50.880
Oh Holy Spirit, touch every heart connected to this prayer

3:55:50.880,3:56:00.840
and let them be a blessing to their family, to their community, to their nation!

3:56:00.840,3:56:18.400
Receive that blessing!

3:56:18.400,3:56:22.600
You are blessed to bless your family!

3:56:22.600,3:56:27.400
You are blessed to bless your community!

3:56:27.400,3:56:31.560
You are blessed to bless your nation!

3:56:31.560,3:56:43.400
Experience Divine blessings, [br]in the mighty name of Jesus Christ!

3:56:43.400,3:56:49.320
Right now, repeat after me:

3:56:49.320,3:56:57.520
I am who God says I am.

3:56:57.520,3:57:04.880
I have what God says I have.

3:57:04.880,3:57:13.880
I can do what God says I can do.

3:57:13.880,3:57:28.560
My past is over!

3:57:28.560,3:57:34.680
My future is bright!

3:57:34.680,3:58:09.800
If you believe that, show your excitement!

3:58:09.800,3:58:20.520
You know, I said that you as young people, [br]you are the future.

3:58:20.520,3:58:27.800
With what I have seen here, I can tell you this:

3:58:27.800,3:58:45.200
The future of Cuba is very bright!

3:58:45.200,3:58:59.200
So go forth from here and let your light shine.

3:58:59.200,3:59:08.080
In Jesus’ mighty name we pray.

3:59:08.080,3:59:16.200
I am that generation of light

3:59:16.200,3:59:19.920
That lifts up high the name[br]of Him who died on the Cross

3:59:19.920,3:59:31.440
I am that generation of light

3:59:31.440,4:00:08.280
Maranatha Christ is returning[br]Chase away what stops you

4:00:08.280,4:00:14.840
When Christ returns[br]He is coming for a holy Church

4:00:14.840,4:00:20.240
Therefore we will stay firm[br]In worship and praise to Him

4:00:20.240,4:00:26.320
We cast out every plan of the devil[br]All witchcraft and misery

4:00:26.320,4:00:32.440
Cubans lift up your hands[br]Believing Jesus is coming soon

4:00:32.440,4:00:40.440
I am that generation of light

4:00:40.440,4:00:44.360
That lifts up high the name[br]of Him who died on the Cross

4:00:44.360,4:00:52.680
I am that generation of light

4:00:52.680,4:00:56.080
That lifts up high the name[br]of Him who died on the Cross

4:01:00.880,4:01:03.000
Who are you?

4:01:03.000,4:01:06.160
‘Blindness!’

4:01:06.160,4:01:09.880
Ok. What have you done to him?

4:01:09.880,4:01:11.720
‘He can’t see his promise!’

4:01:11.720,4:01:22.680
Right now, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, spirit of blindness - out!

4:01:22.680,4:01:28.960
Out, in Jesus’ name!

4:01:49.840,4:02:01.240
Brother, you are free, in the name of Jesus! Rise up. You are free!

4:02:02.000,4:02:11.360
Firstly, I came to this Youth Conference to feed my spirit and seek more from the Lord.

4:02:11.360,4:02:15.920
Secondly, I had a serious eye problem.

4:02:15.920,4:02:26.360
Since I was small, I had been a slave of poor vision.

4:02:26.360,4:02:30.960
I was condemned to use glasses.

4:02:30.960,4:02:35.040
Without them, I could stumble [br]and needed to be guided by others.

4:02:35.040,4:02:40.280
They told me that I could even become blind but the Lord prevented that.

4:02:40.280,4:02:46.480
But over the years, I still needed [br]to use the glasses.

4:02:46.480,4:02:50.960
Today the Lord has done a miracle in me.

4:02:50.960,4:02:53.800
I was prayed for and now I can see.

4:02:53.800,4:02:59.600
Before, I could only see at this short distance without the glasses.

4:02:59.600,4:03:05.000
But now I can see clearly at a far distance.[br]I can even read small letters.

4:03:05.000,4:03:09.800
I want to clarify that I not only had myopia, [br]but also astigmatism.

4:03:09.800,4:03:19.400
I also had allergies that worsened[br]the condition of my eyes.

4:03:19.400,4:03:21.400
This problem was a lethal dose [br]from the enemy.

4:03:21.400,4:03:23.360
But today the Lord has done the miracle.

4:03:23.360,4:03:27.040
I am healed by the blood [br]and wounds of Jesus.

4:03:27.040,4:03:30.040
What did you feel when Brother Chris prayed for you?

4:03:30.040,4:03:39.360
It's hard to explain but [br]power shook my body.

4:03:39.360,4:03:46.840
I felt like a powerful blow hit my spirit.

4:03:46.840,4:03:50.600
Something shook my body; [br]I cannot describe it.

4:03:50.600,4:03:57.000
That power entered me directly and[br]the second time Brother Chris touched me,

4:03:57.000,4:04:01.080
I felt lighter. Something came out of me.

4:04:01.080,4:04:06.400
The Lord did the miracle in me[br]in the name of Jesus!

4:04:06.400,4:04:10.760
How do you feel now after the prayer?

4:04:10.760,4:04:16.800
First of all, I am very grateful because [br]the Lord has done something

4:04:16.800,4:04:20.840
that, for a long time, I was asking Him for.

4:04:20.840,4:04:27.680
I knew He could do it and today He did it[br]because His time is perfect.

4:04:27.680,4:04:35.640
I am very happy because I can testify of the glory of God

4:04:35.640,4:04:41.400
because today I am a living witness [br]of the work of the Lord.

4:04:41.400,4:04:50.360
I will proclaim everywhere that [br]I am healed in the name of Jesus!

4:04:50.360,4:04:51.800
Thank You, Lord!

4:04:51.800,4:05:00.200
Before, I would have to get really close to be able to read,

4:05:00.200,4:05:03.840
whether the print size was big or small.

4:05:03.840,4:05:06.400
It was a mess!

4:05:06.400,4:05:14.600
But now, reading at this distance,[br]there is a great difference.

4:05:31.880,4:05:33.400
Thank You, Lord!

4:05:34.400,4:05:38.840
I declare restoration!

4:05:38.840,4:05:48.480
Be restored!

4:05:48.480,4:05:51.440
In your family - be restored!

4:05:55.040,4:06:00.280
‘I make her sad.’

4:06:02.920,4:06:13.200
‘I make her fight with her children and husband.’

4:06:14.760,4:06:19.760
‘She will never be happy again.’

4:06:24.320,4:06:27.760
‘She’s alone’

4:06:28.760,4:06:36.080
I am Yanara from Guines, Mayabeque. [br]I am 35 years old.

4:06:36.080,4:06:47.760
According to the doctors, [br]I was having a thyroid problem.

4:06:47.760,4:06:56.360
One month ago, I started having [br]severe chest pain,

4:06:56.360,4:07:03.520
numbness of the hand and leg, after which I was diagnosed with hypertension.

4:07:03.520,4:07:08.760
At the same time, they checked my thyroid gland and discovered

4:07:08.760,4:07:18.480
I had two lumps on the right and left side.[br]One is 33mm and the other is 45mm.

4:07:18.480,4:07:23.720
I couldn’t sleep at night. I was constantly complaining because of the pain.

4:07:23.720,4:07:27.880
I couldn’t even carry five litres of water.

4:07:27.880,4:07:32.360
I would have a lot of pain in my neck.

4:07:32.360,4:07:38.640
I couldn’t do this; I couldn’t turn my neck.[br]Lord, You are wonderful!

4:07:38.640,4:07:42.880
So, what happened to you during [br]the Mass Prayer?

4:07:42.880,4:07:49.520
Brother Chris asked us to place our hands where we were having pain.

4:07:49.520,4:07:54.200
I placed my hand on my neck and then [br]I felt a fire burning!

4:07:54.200,4:07:56.560
This caused me to vomit.

4:07:56.560,4:08:01.600
After that, all I remember is that I saw a bright light in front of me.

4:08:01.600,4:08:09.040
I wanted to touch the light but something was pulling me back.

4:08:09.040,4:08:13.200
Sincerely, after that, I can’t remember anything else.

4:08:13.200,4:08:16.400
What changes have you seen after the Mass Prayer?

4:08:16.400,4:08:19.680
Now, I am feeling very fine.

4:08:19.680,4:08:26.480
Before, I also had many problems [br]with depression.

4:08:26.480,4:08:33.800
According to the doctor, [br]it was due to the thyroid problem.

4:08:33.800,4:08:43.760
I used to cry without reason;[br]I was always sad.

4:08:43.760,4:08:57.520
I would get very angry at my children and my husband, even though he was so good to me.

4:08:57.520,4:09:05.240
The only thing I can tell you is that I am now feeling fine. Great is the Lord!

4:09:05.240,4:09:10.320
What can you do now that you could not do before?

4:09:10.320,4:09:14.680
Before, I couldn’t do this. [br]It was so painful.

4:09:14.680,4:09:26.920
During the previous days of the event, [br]I couldn’t turn my neck, only move my eyes.

4:09:26.920,4:09:39.240
The pain was too much. I even thought it was caused by another sickness.

4:09:39.240,4:09:45.000
But God is great and glorified in my life!

4:09:45.000,4:09:48.040
So now you can move your neck [br]without pain?

4:09:48.040,4:09:49.040
Do you still have pain?

4:09:49.040,4:09:55.400
Thank You, Lord. No! Look at me.

4:09:55.400,4:10:00.960
Thank You, Lord. You are wonderful!

4:10:02.560,4:10:08.120
Who are you?

4:10:08.120,4:10:13.400
Who are you in this body?

4:10:13.400,4:10:19.040
Ok. Right now, you demon of destruction - get out of him!

4:10:19.040,4:10:26.480
Out, in Jesus’ name!

4:10:26.480,4:10:31.040
Thank You, Jesus. Rise up, brother.[br]You are free!

4:10:34.920,4:10:37.440
My name is Oscar. I’m 29.

4:10:37.440,4:10:41.480
I come from the Municipality of Florida in the Province of Camagüey, Cuba.

4:10:41.480,4:10:44.600
What was the problem you were facing?

4:10:44.600,4:10:53.600
About two years ago, I was the victim of a witchcraft attack by a woman.

4:10:53.600,4:10:57.640
The case was so serious that I wanted to take my life!

4:10:57.640,4:11:01.680
I never attempted suicide but I clearly heard a voice telling me

4:11:01.680,4:11:07.840
the solution to that situation [br]was to kill myself.

4:11:07.840,4:11:14.360
Out of ignorance, I started on a dark path, visiting sorcerers and witchdoctors,

4:11:14.360,4:11:21.440
looking for a solution but unfortunately,[br]I was guided by the evil that I had inside.

4:11:21.440,4:11:26.640
But God knows the hearts, the purposes, the intentions.

4:11:26.640,4:11:29.240
When the devil wants to end, Jesus begins.

4:11:29.240,4:11:35.600
When I became a Christian, I realised that among the four children from my mother,

4:11:35.600,4:11:38.760
none of us have been able to have a successful marriage.

4:11:38.760,4:11:43.920
I had already been married four times by the age of 27.

4:11:43.920,4:11:55.720
My third marriage was with a lady whose family used to practice witchcraft.

4:11:55.720,4:12:02.720
This marriage did not work because I could not meet her financial expectations.

4:12:02.720,4:12:07.240
I decided to leave her and shortly afterwards started another worldly relationship.

4:12:07.240,4:12:11.800
But suddenly, I experienced a drastic change in my life.

4:12:11.800,4:12:19.560
I became another person. I didn’t feel love. I had no more sexual desires.

4:12:19.560,4:12:23.680
I had no more feelings.

4:12:23.680,4:12:28.000
I have a little son who is three years old, [br]to the glory of God,

4:12:28.000,4:12:30.440
but I didn’t feel any love for him.

4:12:30.440,4:12:35.960
I was desperate. I spent two and a half months living in that situation.

4:12:35.960,4:12:40.760
Every day I felt worse and that's when I started looking for witchdoctors and sorcerers.

4:12:40.760,4:12:45.000
They suggested solutions that would supposedly solve my problem

4:12:45.000,4:12:49.560
but I realised that every time I went to those places, the situation got worse.

4:12:49.560,4:12:53.400
I couldn’t find a solution to my problem and had to seek medical attention.

4:12:53.400,4:12:59.360
I started seeing a psychologist but [br]it didn’t improve.

4:12:59.360,4:13:04.440
I went deeper and saw a psychiatrist who prescribed me medical treatment for a month.

4:13:04.440,4:13:12.320
At the age of 27, I was taking this medication but it didn’t work; it made things worse.

4:13:12.320,4:13:20.800
I couldn’t sleep. I would have panic attacks. [br]I would be awakened after 3am

4:13:20.800,4:13:30.880
by very strange movements, noises, nightmares, disturbance and torment.

4:13:30.880,4:13:35.680
I was alive on the outside but totally dead on the inside.

4:13:35.680,4:13:38.960
What happened when Brother Chris prayed for you?

4:13:38.960,4:13:50.040
I have gone through the process of receiving prayer for deliverance several times

4:13:50.040,4:13:55.600
but I never experienced anything like this!

4:13:55.600,4:14:00.280
At the point that where Brother Chris [br]came near to me,

4:14:00.280,4:14:04.520
there were still two people in the prayer line before it was my turn.

4:14:04.520,4:14:10.720
I began to feel opposition because of the evil spirit inside me.

4:14:10.720,4:14:16.200
I realise that he is a man of God. [br]May God continue using him!

4:14:16.200,4:14:27.920
They had to bring me twice to the prayer line because the demon was resisting.

4:14:27.920,4:14:40.320
I experienced deliverance and started vomiting, shaking and screaming.

4:14:40.320,4:14:42.640
My muscles were contracting.

4:14:42.640,4:14:45.240
At that moment, the demon manifested.

4:14:45.240,4:14:52.240
It confessed it was a sexual demon sent to destroy marriages.

4:14:52.240,4:14:57.160
Glory to God! When Brother Chris declared me free, in the name of Jesus,

4:14:57.160,4:15:00.120
I very clearly saw a flash of light.

4:15:00.120,4:15:05.280
I have never seen this before in my life;[br]it was a unique experience.

4:15:05.280,4:15:08.520
I saw the flash of light when Brother Chris touched my forehead.

4:15:08.520,4:15:16.640
Immediately, the evil spirit completely left my soul and body.

4:15:16.640,4:15:19.800
How do you feel now?

4:15:19.800,4:15:30.960
I am feeling so free, relaxed and confident. [br]I don’t feel any more burden.

4:15:30.960,4:15:32.600
Glory be to God! Glory be to Jesus.

4:15:33.600,4:15:38.080
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ!

4:15:38.080,4:15:42.680
Who are you?

4:15:43.480,4:15:47.880
Okay, you demon - [br]we don’t have time for you.

4:15:47.880,4:15:52.320
In the name of Jesus Christ, out!

4:15:52.320,4:15:57.720
Out right now![br]Come out of her!

4:15:57.720,4:16:02.280
In Jesus’ name.

4:16:02.280,4:16:04.160
Out!

4:16:06.080,4:16:13.360
You are free! Rise up.

4:16:13.360,4:16:16.960
Thank You, Jesus.

4:16:17.800,4:16:23.200
My name is Daysi. I’m 31 years old and I’m from Cuba.

4:16:23.200,4:16:30.720
I was suffering from frequent [br]heart palpitations.

4:16:30.720,4:16:38.200
This caused me chest tightness and a feeling of agony - as if I was going to die.

4:16:38.200,4:16:41.280
I also had a lot of anxiety and [br]weakness in my body.

4:16:41.280,4:16:48.280
This started between the end of 2020 and the beginning of 2021.

4:16:48.280,4:16:53.280
And over time, the problem became worse and more frequent.

4:16:53.280,4:16:59.000
This also started affecting my relationship with others.

4:16:59.000,4:17:13.560
It was very difficult for me to help others because I was so burdened.

4:17:13.560,4:17:20.920
Although it was in my heart to relate more with others, I couldn’t.

4:17:20.920,4:17:28.240
Because of this, I avoided situations that led to encounters with people.

4:17:28.240,4:17:33.880
I was not even able to communicate with my family.

4:17:33.880,4:17:40.640
It affected me in my workplace because when on my shift as a medical doctor,

4:17:40.640,4:17:52.800
I would become a patient instead of helping others due to episodes of tachychardia.

4:17:52.800,4:17:55.920
I would end up in the Emergency Room.

4:17:55.920,4:18:03.600
Concerning my spiritual life, [br]it affected my trust in God.

4:18:03.600,4:18:07.400
It caused me to see Jesus in a bad light.

4:18:07.400,4:18:14.440
Though I would pray,[br]my faith was diminishing.

4:18:14.440,4:18:22.320
When Brother Chris prayed for me, [br]I manifested and broke down in tears.

4:18:22.320,4:18:30.320
I was screaming and when I fell to the ground, although the weather was very hot,

4:18:30.320,4:18:37.200
my body was consumed by cold [br]as if I had hypothermia.

4:18:37.200,4:18:49.280
After the prayer, I felt peace, fulfillment and a burden was lifted off me.

4:18:49.280,4:18:58.120
I was strengthened to seek God more and my faith was uplifted.

4:18:58.120,4:19:02.040
All the hopelessness and disappointment left me.

4:19:02.040,4:19:10.880
After prayer, the tachycardia crisis, anxiety and panic attacks disappeared!

4:19:10.880,4:19:23.360
I have not experienced any of these, for the glory of God, even in times of pressure and tension.

4:19:23.360,4:19:30.240
Before, because of this problem,[br]I had a lot of weakness in my body.

4:19:30.240,4:19:37.120
It actually prevented me from work [br]as I felt very tired.

4:19:37.120,4:19:42.040
Now, I am free from that. I have so much energy!

4:19:42.040,4:19:47.640
It was not normal that I was so weak at my age.

4:19:47.640,4:19:50.960
My spiritual life has also changed completely.

4:19:50.960,4:19:56.160
I have more communion with God; [br]my attitude to prayer has changed.

4:19:56.160,4:19:59.840
Now, I am submitted to the will of God.

4:19:59.840,4:20:04.720
I understand now that everything is [br]by His mercy and grace.

4:20:04.760,4:20:09.200
My advice is that you should [br]not stop trusting in God.

4:20:09.200,4:20:15.120
Even in the midst of our situations, [br]God always comes on time.

4:20:15.120,4:20:19.920
As the Word of God says, [br]‘In God’s time, everything is beautiful.’

4:20:19.920,4:20:26.080
Let us persevere in Him and at His time, [br]He will deliver us.

4:20:28.040,4:20:31.840
In the name of Jesus Christ!

4:20:31.840,4:20:35.920
Who are you?

4:20:35.920,4:20:42.400
‘He’s mine.’

4:20:42.400,4:20:45.840
What have you done to his marriage?

4:20:45.840,4:20:49.880
‘I caused much pain.’

4:20:49.880,4:20:58.600
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ![br]Out right now! Out of him!

4:21:12.800,4:21:18.360
Be free, in Jesus’ name!

4:21:18.360,4:21:22.120
Thank You, Jesus.

4:21:22.760,4:21:27.160
I am Osvaldo. I am 35 years old [br]and I’m from Cuba.

4:21:27.160,4:21:30.800
Before the Youth Conference, I had a problem in my cervical spine.

4:21:30.800,4:21:40.600
For about six years, I could not sleep on my back or look up. I couldn’t do this.

4:21:40.600,4:21:48.080
When I bent down to tie my shoe laces, [br]as I got up, I would be dizzy.

4:21:48.080,4:21:53.920
This dizziness caused me not to have balance when walking.

4:21:53.920,4:22:00.400
It was something beyond human comprehension I cannot explain.

4:22:00.400,4:22:03.080
How did this problem affect your daily life?

4:22:03.080,4:22:10.240
This problem made everything [br]difficult for me.

4:22:10.240,4:22:15.480
This caused me vertigo and [br]low blood pressure.

4:22:15.480,4:22:21.920
It would make me very weak and I had to support my neck with towels to sleep.

4:22:21.920,4:22:25.960
When Brother Chris prayed for me, [br]it was something supernatural.

4:22:25.960,4:22:29.520
I felt chains were breaking.

4:22:29.520,4:22:31.040
My neck was moving uncontrollably

4:22:31.040,4:22:37.800
and the evil abiding there for all those years was being pulled out.

4:22:37.800,4:22:46.240
After the prayer, my life changed. [br]I am delivered! Thank God.

4:22:46.240,4:22:51.360
I had some fear, not doubt - [br]because I believe what God can do -

4:22:51.360,4:22:57.520
but I was afraid as I couldn’t believe I was instantly free from a problem of many years.

4:22:57.520,4:23:01.160
I believed in my heart but [br]still had some fear.

4:23:01.160,4:23:09.800
But I thank God! Because before, I couldn’t look up like this or turn my neck like this.

4:23:09.800,4:23:13.800
I am healed. Thank You, Jesus!

4:23:13.800,4:23:20.600
When Brother Chris shared the message that day, I saw myself in his words.

4:23:20.600,4:23:25.160
I just thank God that Brother Chris stepped into this nation.

4:23:25.160,4:23:30.320
I want to advise first the youth and then the adults listening to me now.

4:23:30.320,4:23:35.160
Apologies if I cannot express this well - [br]but I just want to tell you

4:23:35.160,4:23:41.400
that my testimony speaks for itself. [br]I am here by a miracle of God!

4:23:41.400,4:23:44.480
I am really grateful to God for what He has done in my life.

4:23:44.480,4:23:48.760
To every young person, [br]I tell you - follow Jesus Christ.

4:23:48.760,4:23:55.760
Keep focused on Jesus Christ, [br]no matter the battle. We all have battles.

4:23:55.760,4:23:59.360
Follow Jesus, for He has overcome [br]the world.

4:23:59.360,4:24:04.600
Come out![br]Out of her!

4:24:04.600,4:24:11.520
Speak! What have you done to her?

4:24:11.520,4:24:14.200
How have you destroyed her?

4:24:14.200,4:24:21.000
‘I have made her suffer.’

4:24:21.000,4:24:30.920
‘I want to kill her father!’

4:24:30.920,4:24:37.600
So right now, you demon, her suffering comes to an end today.

4:24:37.600,4:24:43.120
Be free, in Jesus’ name!

4:24:43.120,4:24:45.920
Out!

4:24:45.920,4:24:48.440
Be free from that suffering.

4:24:58.680,4:25:04.920
You are free! [br]Rise up and rejoice!

4:25:09.200,4:25:14.520
My name is Keily. [br]I am 17 and I’m from Cuba.

4:25:14.520,4:25:19.200
Before the event, I was having problems with my family.

4:25:19.200,4:25:25.600
I was facing rejection and [br]my dad was hospitalised.

4:25:25.600,4:25:30.280
My dad was diagnosed with lung cancer,

4:25:30.280,4:25:37.560
a spine problem, high blood pressure [br]and anaemia.

4:25:37.560,4:25:42.280
He also had difficulty in walking and [br]a problem with his blood sugar levels.

4:25:42.280,4:25:44.920
He had so many health problems.

4:25:44.920,4:25:53.160
In my spiritual life, I was having doubts about God because I was thinking

4:25:53.160,4:25:58.960
about why I was facing this rejection and mistreatment even while walking in His ways.

4:25:58.960,4:26:02.960
I was also praying for my dad’s healing.

4:26:02.960,4:26:09.680
When I attended the youth event, I went with an expectation to receive deliverance.

4:26:09.680,4:26:18.360
I also carried a picture of my father, believing by faith he would also be healed.

4:26:18.360,4:26:25.240
On the prayer line, Brother Chris prayed for me and I started manifesting.

4:26:25.240,4:26:31.240
A demon spoke out, saying it was a familiar spirit intent on destroying my family.

4:26:31.240,4:26:39.840
After that deliverance, I started crying and felt the Holy Spirit filling my heart.

4:26:39.840,4:26:43.680
I also experienced a tremendous [br]peace in my heart.

4:26:43.680,4:26:51.000
Now, I am free! My mum is no more rejecting me; she is treating me with love.

4:26:51.000,4:26:57.120
A few weeks later, my dad was discharged from the hospital.

4:26:57.120,4:27:01.000
He is rapidly recovering in a way the doctors cannot explain!

4:27:01.000,4:27:05.280
They cannot understand his [br]fast improvement!

4:27:05.280,4:27:10.520
Now, he can walk, doesn’t have pain[br]and can sleep freely.

4:27:10.520,4:27:13.880
My dad is now healed!

4:27:13.880,4:27:20.080
Another thing is that due to this evil spirit, my family was broken.

4:27:20.080,4:27:22.520
My parents were separated.

4:27:22.520,4:27:28.560
But after this event, my family was completely restored!

4:27:28.560,4:27:31.040
Everything about my life [br]has completely changed!

4:27:31.040,4:27:34.920
What advice do you have for those listening to you?

4:27:34.920,4:27:39.280
I exhort those who are facing rejection -

4:27:39.280,4:27:45.960
if you feel you are worthless, [br]I advise you to trust in the Lord.

4:27:45.960,4:27:52.240
His time is perfect and the way out is only in Jesus Christ!

4:27:52.920,4:27:56.120
My name is Wilson.[br]I’m 31 and I’m from Cuba.

4:27:56.120,4:28:03.920
I was suffering from constant kidney stones, which caused me to urinate blood.

4:28:03.920,4:28:08.080
For how long did you suffer [br]from this problem?

4:28:08.080,4:28:10.120
Since the age of 15.

4:28:10.120,4:28:14.240
How did this problem affect your life?

4:28:14.240,4:28:21.600
I couldn’t work when facing this crisis; [br]I could be on the bed for 8-10 days.

4:28:21.600,4:28:25.200
I would be in severe pain until my body flushed out the stones, so I couldn’t work.

4:28:25.200,4:28:33.480
It also caused marital problems, especially in the area of intimacy, because of the pain.

4:28:33.480,4:28:44.120
Even my faith was affected because this problem kept persisting.

4:28:44.120,4:28:50.280
When Brother Chris prayed for me, [br]I manifested; I couldn’t control my body.

4:28:50.280,4:28:52.160
It was something stronger than me.

4:28:52.160,4:28:57.600
Now, I am feeling very strong! [br]I am urinating normally.

4:28:57.600,4:29:02.320
I am no longer producing kidney stones [br]or urinating blood.

4:29:02.320,4:29:08.120
Now, I can ride my bike and exert myself without any pain!

4:29:08.120,4:29:15.560
My spiritual life has changed 100%. [br]Now, I am praying and seeking God more.

4:29:15.560,4:29:19.440
What advice do you have for those listening to you?

4:29:19.440,4:29:26.240
Trust in God always, be persistent in prayer and God will do a miracle!

4:29:26.240,4:29:29.920
He is the God of impossibilities!

4:29:37.000,4:29:42.240
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ!

4:29:42.240,4:29:49.160
‘I want to kill her!’

4:29:49.160,4:29:53.640
Who are you that wants to kill her?

4:29:53.640,4:29:56.640
‘I am satan!’

4:29:56.640,4:30:01.200
So tell us - how did you try to kill her?

4:30:01.200,4:30:05.360
‘With sickness!’

4:30:05.360,4:30:10.760
So right now, I speak to that [br]spirit of sickness!

4:30:10.760,4:30:18.000
‘They have a ministry I want to finish!’

4:30:18.000,4:30:21.040
Well, your time in this body has [br]come to an end!

4:30:21.040,4:30:27.160
In the name of Jesus Christ - [br]out of her right now! Come out!

4:30:35.400,4:30:39.920
In Jesus’ name.

4:30:39.920,4:30:44.680
Thank You, Jesus. You are free!

4:30:49.760,4:30:52.640
Thank You, Jesus!

4:30:52.640,4:30:56.160
My name is Mariela. [br]I’m 30 and I’m from Cuba.

4:30:56.160,4:30:59.560
What was the problem you were having before the Youth Conference?

4:30:59.560,4:31:04.960
I was suffering from a kidney problem, a cervical problem and marital problems.

4:31:04.960,4:31:09.160
I was really weak and depressed.

4:31:09.160,4:31:13.440
I was constantly arguing with my husband.

4:31:13.440,4:31:18.840
When Brother Chris prayed for me, I felt something was uprooted from inside.

4:31:18.840,4:31:21.160
I was set free, in Jesus’ name.

4:31:21.160,4:31:27.280
Now, I am feeling very well! I no longer have the kidney and cervical problems.

4:31:27.280,4:31:30.760
In my marriage, things have [br]significantly improved!

4:31:30.760,4:31:37.080
Before, if I carried any weight, [br]I would feel pain in my spine.

4:31:37.080,4:31:41.240
I also felt constant pain in my kidneys but now I’m fine. Everything is perfect!

4:31:41.240,4:31:45.040
I advise everyone listening to me -

4:31:45.040,4:31:52.360
don’t lose focus on God and continue fighting the good fight.

4:31:52.360,4:31:57.600
Because our battle is not against flesh and blood but principalities and powers.

4:31:57.600,4:32:02.000
So, don’t allow anything around you to take your focus away from Jesus Christ!

4:32:05.960,4:32:12.760
Who are you?

4:32:14.400,4:32:19.640
‘Hatred!’

4:32:19.640,4:32:34.360
So right now, you wicked spirit of hatred, get out in Jesus’ name!

4:32:34.360,4:32:38.200
Sister, rise up, you are free!

4:32:38.200,4:32:42.600
My name is Melody. [br]I’m 19 and I’m from Cuba.

4:32:42.600,4:32:50.280
Before the Youth Conference, I had the problem of anger and unforgiveness.

4:32:50.280,4:32:54.000
When people spoke to me, [br]I would get very easily irritated.

4:32:54.000,4:32:59.120
Even when I didn’t want to get irritated, everything would provoke me.

4:32:59.120,4:33:04.400
If my parents corrected me, [br]I would explode in anger,

4:33:04.400,4:33:09.640
to the point where I would be [br]disrespectful to them.

4:33:09.640,4:33:14.600
I would also shout at and [br]insult my little sister.

4:33:14.600,4:33:29.760
This anger, bitterness and unforgiveness was because of my broken relationship with God.

4:33:29.760,4:33:39.160
At school, this problem led me to imitate others because I didn’t want to be rejected.

4:33:39.160,4:33:46.880
That’s why I did the same things as others to be accepted in the ‘group’.

4:33:46.880,4:33:53.960
When Brother Chris touched me, my body started shaking in a way I cannot explain.

4:33:53.960,4:33:57.720
I wanted to control my body [br]but it wasn’t possible.

4:33:57.720,4:34:03.440
And when he touched me the second time, an evil spirit manifested as a spirit of hatred.

4:34:03.440,4:34:07.720
I was so surprised!

4:34:07.720,4:34:12.040
After the prayer, I felt my heart [br]was set free.

4:34:12.040,4:34:16.880
The relationship with my family [br]has changed!

4:34:16.880,4:34:22.800
Now, I am praying and reading the Bible without being told to.

4:34:22.800,4:34:32.800
Now, I am not getting irritated. If something provokes me, I don’t react like before.

4:34:32.800,4:34:44.040
To those affected by anger and unforgiveness, I advise you to close that door.

4:34:44.040,4:34:47.600
This can only lead you to emptiness

4:34:47.600,4:34:53.360
and to think that nobody loves you - [br]but God loves you and forgives you.

4:34:53.360,4:34:55.240
I am from Managua.

4:34:55.240,4:35:01.520
I came to Christ when I was 16 years old but I turned away from Him

4:35:01.520,4:35:11.200
and became a prostitute and an alcoholic. [br]I slept with many men, also with women.

4:35:11.200,4:35:14.200
This is the first time that I have said this.

4:35:14.200,4:35:20.840
But there was a moment in my life when God called me back. I could feel it.

4:35:20.840,4:35:25.280
I started having panic attacks and went to many hospitals.

4:35:25.280,4:35:27.080
That was the reason I came to Christ.

4:35:27.080,4:35:31.080
I was desperate. I could not talk,[br]I had tachycardia.

4:35:31.080,4:35:33.160
It affected this whole area.

4:35:33.160,4:35:37.640
Sometimes I lost the feeling in my hands and I could not even walk.

4:35:37.640,4:35:41.480
I had a pain in my back. I knew I was possessed, that I had a lot of demons.

4:35:41.480,4:35:43.160
I could not sleep.

4:35:43.160,4:35:45.640
Demons tormented me and they talked[br]to me.

4:35:45.640,4:35:50.200
They told me I had to kill my daughters, that I had to take a knife.

4:35:50.200,4:35:54.880
I had been living with this spirit of death for a long time. The attacks used to come and go.

4:35:54.880,4:35:57.080
The attacks from the spirit of fear would also come and go.

4:35:57.080,4:35:59.360
I did not know what was happening.

4:35:59.360,4:36:03.680
When he began to pray, I prayed for myself through his words and anointing.

4:36:03.680,4:36:09.400
I started to feel something weird [br]as I was praying.

4:36:09.400,4:36:13.000
He mentioned that we had to place our hand where we had a sickness.

4:36:13.000,4:36:20.000
I placed my hand here because I was diagnosed with a tumour and a cyst.

4:36:20.000,4:36:24.720
I placed my hand and I started to pray against generational curses of sicknesses,

4:36:24.720,4:36:29.120
generational curses of divorce and [br]I started to vomit.

4:36:29.120,4:36:31.600
I was praying against depression, [br]panic and fear.

4:36:31.600,4:36:35.520
He mentioned all kinds of sicknesses and [br]I started to vomit.

4:36:35.520,4:36:41.720
The ushers brought me to the front and [br]I started vomiting even more.

4:36:41.720,4:36:48.800
As Brother Chris prayed against witchcraft, [br]I continued to vomit.

4:36:48.800,4:36:52.800
Then I felt something [br]contract my body.

4:36:52.800,4:37:00.520
I felt it as the unclean spirit came out [br]and left me!

4:37:00.520,4:37:06.360
Then I fell and knew I had received deliverance. I was free from fear and sickness!

4:37:06.360,4:37:10.560
The Holy Spirit told me that [br]today is my day!

4:37:10.560,4:37:14.200
All the glory to Jesus! Thank You, Jesus, because today I am free!

4:37:15.640,4:37:18.280
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ!

4:37:18.280,4:37:26.080
That strange spirit get out of him -[br]out, right now!

4:37:26.080,4:37:28.840
Come out of him!

4:37:50.000,4:37:51.960
In Jesus’ name!

4:37:51.960,4:37:57.800
Blessings. My name is Richard.[br]I’m 17 and I’m from Cuba.

4:37:57.800,4:38:07.960
Before the Youth Conference, I had difficulty in eating and nutrition problems.

4:38:07.960,4:38:22.280
Even if I ate, my body was not absorbing the nutrients from food, so I was unable to gain weight.

4:38:22.280,4:38:29.920
For my whole life, I had been carrying this burden of not being able to gain weight.

4:38:29.920,4:38:40.120
This problem affected my health because I didn’t develop muscles or have energy.

4:38:40.120,4:38:44.280
I grew in height but not in weight.

4:38:44.280,4:38:49.960
Growing up, I couldn’t play in the same way as other children.

4:38:49.960,4:39:09.200
In my teenage years, this led me to low self-esteem and affected my spiritual life.

4:39:09.200,4:39:18.960
When Brother Chris prayed for me, [br]he placed his hands on my stomach.

4:39:18.960,4:39:22.240
I fell to the ground, overwhelmed by the presence of God.

4:39:22.240,4:39:29.400
I started shaking and I felt [br]God’s deliverance.

4:39:29.400,4:39:34.360
After the prayer from Brother Chris, [br]when I got up,

4:39:34.360,4:39:39.320
I started crying uncontrollably.

4:39:39.320,4:39:46.400
Even after the prayer, the deliverance process continued.

4:39:46.400,4:39:51.200
Now, I am completely free [br]and transformed!

4:39:51.200,4:39:55.120
I feel like a new person after the prayer.

4:39:55.120,4:40:03.280
I have noticed now that when it’s time to eat, I have more of an appetite.

4:40:03.280,4:40:11.400
Before, something would stop me from finishing my food.

4:40:11.400,4:40:15.360
I would even cry while eating.

4:40:15.360,4:40:22.720
Now, I am eating normally. I don’t feel any oppression while eating.

4:40:22.720,4:40:36.640
Many have told me that I have gained weight in these few weeks after the event.

4:40:36.640,4:40:45.160
My spiritual life has also changed because I am free from rejection and low self-esteem.

4:40:45.160,4:40:50.000
Now, I am seeking God with more passion and willingness.

4:40:50.000,4:40:59.360
I want to tell those listening to me to have faith to receive your miracle.

4:40:59.360,4:41:09.200
Never lose faith, even if you have been waiting a long time for your miracle.

4:41:09.200,4:41:13.760
With faith and a willing heart, [br]God will do it for you!

4:41:19.080,4:41:24.320
Come out of him!

4:41:28.880,4:41:31.880
In Jesus’ name.

4:41:37.600,4:41:40.600
You are free, brother, rise up!

4:41:41.000,4:41:45.440
My name is Walter. [br]I’m 26 and I’m from Cuba.

4:41:45.440,4:41:51.640
Before the Youth Conference, I had the problem of anger since my teenage years.

4:41:51.640,4:41:54.120
I thought that anger was just [br]part of my being.

4:41:54.120,4:41:59.800
This spirit of anger affected my relationships.

4:41:59.800,4:42:09.240
I would always limit my interaction with others, knowing how angry I could get.

4:42:09.240,4:42:16.720
It really affected my family because in my anger, I would damage them emotionally.

4:42:16.720,4:42:20.080
This also affected my relationship with God.

4:42:20.080,4:42:25.600
I knew there was something that stopped me from drawing closer to God.

4:42:25.600,4:42:30.120
As a result of this problem of anger, [br]I got divorced and lost my marriage.

4:42:30.120,4:42:37.720
When I got angry, it hurt my partner, [br]which brought the marital problems.

4:42:37.720,4:42:46.680
Even this affected my health, [br]causing me hypertension.

4:42:46.680,4:42:58.000
Before Brother Chris prayed for me, as I approached the prayer line, I started manifesting

4:42:58.000,4:43:02.840
and when he prayed for me, [br]I was delivered instantly.

4:43:02.840,4:43:11.840
After the prayer, I felt the burden of guilt from hurting others was lifted off me.

4:43:11.840,4:43:18.160
I felt that something came out of me.

4:43:18.160,4:43:23.440
After the Youth Conference, [br]I can relate easily with others.

4:43:23.440,4:43:28.200
I don’t know the situation you are passing through or the areas of your weakness -

4:43:28.200,4:43:35.720
but I advise you to let God into your heart to bring deliverance and healing.

4:43:35.720,4:43:43.080
God is the same in Cuba as He is everywhere; lay down your burdens before Him.

4:43:47.480,4:43:55.080
Be free!

4:43:55.080,4:44:02.240
Come out, that pain!

4:44:08.480,4:44:14.400
You are free, brother!

4:44:14.400,4:44:16.160
Thank You, Jesus!

4:44:17.520,4:44:21.680
My name is Yadier. I am 24 years old and I come from the city of Las Tunas.

4:44:21.680,4:44:23.560
What was the problem that brought you?

4:44:23.560,4:44:30.680
I came here with a strong pain, [br]in the spine and waist.

4:44:30.680,4:44:38.560
And when Brother Chris prayed for me, [br]I felt a great relief and I no longer have pain.

4:44:38.560,4:44:40.560
I can touch myself and it doesn't hurt.

4:44:40.560,4:44:43.120
What couldn't you do due to that pain?

4:44:43.120,4:44:45.880
I used to bend like this and it hurt.

4:44:45.880,4:44:49.440
This part of my spine hurt here and to make these movements hurt,

4:44:49.440,4:44:50.920
but now it doesn't hurt anymore.

4:44:50.920,4:44:55.680
What did you feel during the prayer with Brother Chris?

4:44:55.680,4:45:01.440
I felt like there was a balm, something that relieved my pain, and the pain disappeared.

4:45:01.440,4:45:02.600
I feel good.

4:45:02.600,4:45:03.480
Can you move?

4:45:03.480,4:45:05.840
Yes, I can move.

4:45:05.840,4:45:06.800
Do you feel pain?

4:45:06.800,4:45:08.920
No, I don’t feel anything.

4:45:08.920,4:45:10.280
Glory be to God!

4:45:16.160,4:45:22.760
Out right now![br]Come out of him!

4:45:27.400,4:45:34.440
Right now, that strange spirit,[br]come out of him!

4:45:34.440,4:45:38.680
Vomit it out, right now!

4:45:43.560,4:45:50.280
Speak out! Who are you in this body?

4:45:50.280,4:45:54.960
‘I am loneliness.’

4:45:54.960,4:46:02.840
What have you done to him as a spirit[br]of loneliness?

4:46:02.840,4:46:11.120
‘I make him believe he is alone.’

4:46:11.120,4:46:22.960
You are not alone, Jesus is with you.[br]Be free, in Jesus’ name!

4:46:22.960,4:46:26.840
You are free; thank You, Jesus.

4:46:33.440,4:46:38.400
My name is Luisbel; I am 26 years old,

4:46:38.400,4:46:42.480
I am from Granma but I am living here[br]in Havana.

4:46:42.480,4:46:47.040
What was the problem that brought you?

4:46:47.040,4:46:56.520
Eleven years ago, I turned away from the grace and the way of the Father.

4:46:56.520,4:47:02.360
But He brought me back several days ago.

4:47:02.360,4:47:09.840
Like I said, for eleven years I was lost.[br]I smoked and drank every day.

4:47:09.840,4:47:13.280
I gave my mother headaches[br]because of this.

4:47:13.280,4:47:17.960
My marriage had problems;[br]it was one woman after another -

4:47:17.960,4:47:25.240
thinking that this was ‘life’ but I was lost.

4:47:25.240,4:47:33.160
It reached a time when nothing was working out for me.

4:47:33.160,4:47:38.880
I made money but nothing worked out because nothing satisfied me.

4:47:38.880,4:47:42.400
I made money today but tomorrow[br]I had nothing.

4:47:42.400,4:47:50.160
I started talking to my cousin and told him, “Cousin, I want to go to the church.

4:47:50.160,4:47:56.480
I want to receive deliverance and to give my heart, soul and body to God’.

4:47:56.480,4:48:03.400
During the prayer time, I went with my heart open to the Father

4:48:03.400,4:48:08.640
for Him to totally cleanse me because [br]I was under oppression.

4:48:08.640,4:48:15.000
I felt like my chest was being squeezed.[br]My heart felt like it wanted to burst.

4:48:15.000,4:48:19.280
Although I remained conscious [br]in those moments,

4:48:19.280,4:48:23.840
I felt that demon was speaking through[br]my voice; I heard it.

4:48:23.840,4:48:26.520
I couldn't do anything; I was oppressed.

4:48:26.520,4:48:34.240
And in one moment I felt that it came out by burping.

4:48:34.240,4:48:40.000
Then by phlegm, which I vomited out.

4:48:40.000,4:48:48.440
And then I felt peace, [br]an immense calmness.

4:48:48.440,4:48:51.640
And I thank the Father for setting me free,

4:48:51.640,4:48:57.560
and for leading me back to His way, [br]to His Kingdom and to His glory.

4:48:57.560,4:49:00.520
Because the glory is only for Him!

4:49:00.680,4:49:07.440
You demon - you must leave with your bondage! You must leave with your affliction!

4:49:07.440,4:49:13.360
You must leave with your pain!

4:49:13.360,4:49:19.560
You must leave with your sickness![br]You must leave with your nightmares!

4:49:19.560,4:49:22.200
You must leave right now!

4:49:22.200,4:49:28.840
You demon - you have no right [br]to stay here!

4:49:28.840,4:49:36.640
Continue to command it out right now!

4:49:52.480,4:49:56.920
My name is Liz. I’m 20 and [br]I’m from Havana, Cuba.

4:49:56.920,4:50:04.920
I became a Christian one year ago but I’m coming from a life of addiction to sex.

4:50:04.920,4:50:12.360
I was addicted to smoking and drinking beer. [br]I was also bisexual and very rebellious.

4:50:12.360,4:50:17.680
I also had a disease called peritonitis which affected my abdomen, causing strong pain.

4:50:17.680,4:50:24.720
Though I stopped practicing sexual immorality, I still felt oppressed.

4:50:24.720,4:50:30.800
I still had a spirit of seduction in me.

4:50:30.800,4:50:37.760
There was a voice in me telling me how to walk seductively and expose my body.

4:50:37.760,4:50:41.880
That same oppression stopped me from sleeping at night.

4:50:41.880,4:50:45.040
I would sleep with strange spirits [br]in my dream.

4:50:45.040,4:50:48.880
I was also manipulated by [br]the spirit of Jezebel.

4:50:48.880,4:50:54.520
During the Mass Prayer, [br]I was at the very back of the venue.

4:50:54.520,4:50:58.840
I felt a very strong electricity on [br]one side of my face.

4:50:58.840,4:51:04.680
My body started shaking, my hands sweating and my heart beating very fast.

4:51:04.680,4:51:09.120
At one point, I fell to the ground shaking.

4:51:09.120,4:51:14.480
During the mass prayer, when Brother Chris said, ‘In the name of Jesus’,

4:51:14.480,4:51:19.440
I felt this strong force coming out of me.

4:51:19.440,4:51:29.880
I also felt a lot of anger and wrath; my spirit was fighting against the oppression!

4:51:29.880,4:51:32.480
Today, I am completely set free!

4:51:32.480,4:51:38.080
During the deliverance, the abdominal pain became even worse.

4:51:38.080,4:51:43.720
But now, the pain has left![br]I am feeling fine.

4:51:43.720,4:51:47.680
I am free! I feel completely [br]restored and renovated!

4:51:47.680,4:51:51.200
I am ready to serve the Lord.

4:51:51.200,4:51:55.520
I thank God for the sacrifice Jesus made on the Cross of Calvary

4:51:55.520,4:51:58.960
and for setting me free [br]by the power of His blood.

4:51:58.960,4:52:03.040
I thank God for His servant, Brother Chris, for being a blessing to our nation.

4:52:07.240,4:52:13.640
Be healed, in Jesus’ name!

4:52:21.520,4:52:28.400
Be healed, in Jesus’ name!

4:52:28.400,4:52:31.120
In Jesus’ name, you are free!

4:52:31.560,4:52:36.560
My name is Roger.[br]I am from Guantánamo, Cuba.

4:52:36.560,4:52:38.760
I am 28 years old.

4:52:38.760,4:52:44.440
What was the problem that brought you?

4:52:44.440,4:52:49.400
I used to do a lot of heavy work.[br]I injured my right shoulder.

4:52:49.400,4:52:52.720
I had been like this for almost three years.

4:52:52.720,4:52:54.800
After three years with this injury,

4:52:54.800,4:53:00.760
when Brother Chris prayed for me, [br]my whole body began to shake.

4:53:00.760,4:53:02.760
He told me that I was healed and then I no longer had pain!

4:53:02.760,4:53:04.400
I couldn't move it before.

4:53:04.400,4:53:08.280
How did this problem affect your daily life?

4:53:08.280,4:53:12.080
At night, it gave me a lot of pain and I woke up with pain in my shoulder.

4:53:12.080,4:53:19.160
I couldn't lift up anything or raise my hand. It was very difficult for me.

4:53:19.160,4:53:21.720
Do you have pain now?

4:53:21.720,4:53:24.600
Not at all. It does not hurt me!

4:53:24.600,4:53:27.040
Thank You Jesus! Hallelujah!

4:53:28.160,4:53:32.520
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ![br]Who are you?

4:53:32.520,4:53:38.400
‘Spirit of fear.’

4:53:38.400,4:53:45.760
You demon that wants her to commit suicide, I say right now -

4:53:45.760,4:53:50.800
get out of her in Jesus’ name!

4:53:50.800,4:53:53.800
You are free in Jesus’ name!

4:53:53.800,4:53:57.920
Thank You, Jesus, for delivering me!

4:53:58.360,4:54:00.360
My name is Rosanne.

4:54:00.360,4:54:02.600
I am 16 years old[br]and I am from Granma, Cuba.

4:54:02.600,4:54:04.960
What was the problem that brought you?

4:54:04.960,4:54:07.840
I was terrified and afraid of everything.

4:54:07.840,4:54:11.120
I thank God because He delivered me[br]from that.

4:54:11.120,4:54:14.040
How did this affect your daily life?

4:54:14.040,4:54:19.960
I didn't go out; I was afraid of everything and everyone and kept crying.

4:54:19.960,4:54:27.000
I didn't go out, I cried all the time and I was living in depression.

4:54:27.000,4:54:30.760
What did you feel after[br]Brother Chris prayed for you?

4:54:30.760,4:54:34.080
I felt that it was another person[br]who rose up.

4:54:34.080,4:54:37.120
I felt deliverance;[br]I felt hot in my body,

4:54:37.120,4:54:40.480
I felt that something in me[br]was coming out.

4:54:40.480,4:54:43.280
What was the disease you had?

4:54:43.280,4:54:45.480
I had asthma and myopia.

4:54:45.480,4:54:50.640
To the glory of God, I used to see people blurred but now I can see them well

4:54:50.640,4:54:53.320
and I can breathe better.

4:54:53.320,4:54:55.800
Can you show us how you can [br]breathe freely now?

4:54:59.000,4:55:00.600
Could you do that before?

4:55:00.600,4:55:01.440
No.

4:55:01.440,4:55:03.440
Thank You, Jesus!

4:55:03.440,4:55:05.480
I thank You, Lord, because You healed me.

4:55:12.240,4:55:14.960
Out!

4:55:17.120,4:55:25.560
People of God, we can see what this brother has vomited out.

4:55:25.560,4:55:28.760
You can see that this is not just an ordinary substance!

4:55:28.760,4:55:41.160
This is the spiritual poison that is coming out of his system.

4:55:42.320,4:55:44.240
In Jesus’ name.

4:55:44.240,4:55:52.720
Brother, rise up, you are free!

4:55:53.800,4:55:55.560
My name is Eduardo.

4:55:55.560,4:55:59.360
I am from San José and I am 28 years old.

4:55:59.360,4:56:01.360
What was the problem that brought you?

4:56:01.360,4:56:06.760
I had a lot of anger contained within me.

4:56:06.760,4:56:10.880
How did this problem affect your daily life?

4:56:10.880,4:56:20.640
When my wife told me something I didn't want to hear, I would get easily angry.

4:56:20.640,4:56:25.440
I would hit the wall and sometimes physically mistreat her,

4:56:25.440,4:56:29.440
not with a blow but by shaking her.

4:56:29.440,4:56:39.200
When Brother Chris prayed for me,[br]I felt a peace, as if I was emptied -

4:56:39.200,4:56:44.760
like a burden was removed from my body, [br]and I saw a bright light.

4:56:44.760,4:56:48.040
Now, I feel like I am floating!

4:56:48.040,4:56:51.400
I feel very peaceful,

4:56:51.400,4:56:54.840
and above all, I feel love [br]because I have changed.

4:56:54.840,4:56:58.760
I thought that this was [br]never going to leave me,

4:56:58.760,4:57:03.320
and that I was not a son - [br]that the Lord did not want me

4:57:03.320,4:57:06.360
because I mistreated my wife [br]and had that anger.

4:57:06.360,4:57:12.360
I felt I was not a child of God but now [br]I realise I am one of His children!

4:57:13.000,4:57:15.440
My name is Lilian and I'm from San José.

4:57:15.440,4:57:17.160
He is my husband.

4:57:17.160,4:57:19.840
What was the problem that brought you?

4:57:19.840,4:57:22.360
The lack of forgiveness.

4:57:22.360,4:57:32.480
When Brother Chris was praying,[br]I asked God to open my heart

4:57:32.480,4:57:37.480
so that all those ugly things that[br]were inside me would go away.

4:57:37.480,4:57:45.560
I started to pray. I was touched and [br]began to vomit. I then felt free!

4:57:45.560,4:57:48.400
After the deliverance, I feel a lot of peace!

4:57:48.400,4:57:55.320
Something that was inside me has come out - something from my chest. I feel the difference!

4:57:56.320,4:58:05.400
Be healed in Jesus’ name!

4:58:10.080,4:58:12.680
In Jesus’ name.

4:58:12.680,4:58:18.120
You are free, sister. Breathe!

4:58:21.360,4:58:28.080
My name is Roxana, I am 24 years old and[br]I come from Havana, Cuba.

4:58:28.080,4:58:31.640
What was the problem that brought you?

4:58:31.640,4:58:41.080
Since I was born, I had breathing problems due to a generational curse.

4:58:41.080,4:58:44.840
My parents suffered with allergies.

4:58:44.840,4:58:51.440
Whenever I breathed in near dust or perfume or even just touched my nose,

4:58:51.440,4:58:59.440
immediately, I would get congested, [br]my nose would burn,

4:58:59.440,4:59:08.400
my head would start to ache and sometimes my vision was affected.

4:59:08.400,4:59:12.080
I'm still emotional.

4:59:12.080,4:59:14.800
Sometimes it affected my eyesight.

4:59:14.800,4:59:22.280
When the man of God was praying, [br]I felt like something began to descend.

4:59:22.280,4:59:27.440
Something unusual began to descend.

4:59:27.440,4:59:29.600
And when he laid his hand on me,

4:59:29.600,4:59:35.400
I felt how the power of God brought deliverance to my life.

4:59:35.400,4:59:38.920
I want to give all the thanks to Jesus

4:59:38.920,4:59:44.920
for giving me the opportunity to[br]experience healing.

4:59:44.920,4:59:48.160
Right now, I can breathe freely [br]through my nose.

4:59:48.160,4:59:51.840
I no longer have to use my mouth, [br]which I had to breathe through before.

4:59:53.880,4:59:57.880
I want to thank Jesus for the miracle!

4:59:57.880,5:00:00.240
And I want to give glory to God[br]for this healing

5:00:00.240,5:00:05.200
and for the God’s Heart TV team who accepted the invitation and came to honour us

5:00:05.200,5:00:08.160
with their work for God; thank God for that!

5:00:13.240,5:00:19.640
Who are you?

5:00:19.640,5:00:22.800
‘He’s mine!’

5:00:22.800,5:00:31.680
Right now, you demon, he doesn’t belong to you; he belongs to Jesus.

5:00:31.680,5:00:44.440
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, loose your grip! Out of him!

5:00:44.440,5:00:48.880
In Jesus’ name.

5:00:48.880,5:00:53.520
Thank You, Jesus. You are free.

5:00:54.520,5:00:59.840
I am from Havana. My name is Roinel and[br]I am 29 years old.

5:00:59.840,5:01:04.680
I have really needed deliverance for a few years now.

5:01:04.680,5:01:06.560
Because I needed someone to pray for me.

5:01:06.560,5:01:15.200
I needed to be free from rebellion, masturbation and immorality.

5:01:15.200,5:01:19.000
They were constantly attacking me. It was a door that I had opened to the enemy.

5:01:19.000,5:01:21.600
So, I needed that deliverance.

5:01:21.600,5:01:27.480
Actually, I had stopped praying and reading the Bible some time ago.

5:01:27.480,5:01:31.800
Truly, God had deliverance for me today.

5:01:31.800,5:01:38.200
The spirit of rebellion I had[br]manifested itself immediately.

5:01:38.200,5:01:40.440
And with the manifestation of the spirit of rebellion, others came out.

5:01:40.440,5:01:48.200
I felt like a light illuminated my whole body and mind.

5:01:48.200,5:01:51.280
Something came out of me at that moment.

5:01:51.280,5:01:56.080
I thank God because I feel new, like another person. I thank God for that!

5:01:56.080,5:01:59.920
I am truly grateful to God forever!

5:01:59.920,5:02:05.680
I am grateful also to the man of God who came to bless us, to pray for us.

5:02:05.680,5:02:06.880
I thank God!

5:02:07.360,5:02:12.640
Bring him out!

5:02:14.040,5:02:18.800
Who are you?

5:02:21.920,5:02:29.480
‘The devil!’

5:02:30.280,5:02:35.120
Get out of him, in Jesus’ name!

5:02:35.120,5:02:39.920
Out!

5:02:42.240,5:02:46.960
You are free, brother. Rise up!

5:02:51.880,5:02:55.520
I am 18 years old and I come from Las Tunas, Cuba.

5:02:55.520,5:02:57.040
What's your name?

5:02:57.040,5:02:58.200
My name is Ivan.

5:02:58.200,5:03:00.520
What were you facing in your life?

5:03:00.520,5:03:03.640
I had battles with a demon.

5:03:03.640,5:03:10.320
Since I started in the Gospel, [br]I always had battles with demons.

5:03:10.320,5:03:13.280
I saw them physically.

5:03:13.280,5:03:20.320
Recently, I was having battles with a demon that was a dragon.

5:03:20.320,5:03:22.000
God has set me free!

5:03:22.000,5:03:25.280
How did this affect your life?

5:03:25.280,5:03:27.000
All this brought bad thoughts.

5:03:27.000,5:03:33.120
In the battles that I had with that dragon, [br]it always tried to choke me

5:03:33.120,5:03:35.960
but there was an atmosphere that [br]didn't let this happen.

5:03:35.960,5:03:43.440
The dragon would stand in front and [br]try to attack me.

5:03:43.440,5:03:46.680
It was a red dragon - scarlet red.

5:03:46.680,5:03:51.600
What did you feel when Brother Chris prayed for you?

5:03:51.600,5:03:54.280
A tremendous deliverance.

5:03:54.280,5:03:57.120
What did you feel in your body?

5:03:57.120,5:03:59.760
I started shaking and manifesting.

5:03:59.760,5:04:01.840
How do you feel after the prayer?

5:04:01.840,5:04:04.800
I feel better. I feel light!

5:04:04.800,5:04:07.920
All glory to God! The glory and honour is for Him!

5:04:07.920,5:04:09.040
Thank You, Jesus!

5:04:10.480,5:04:15.600
Who are you?

5:04:15.600,5:04:18.400
What have you done to her?

5:04:18.400,5:04:22.600
‘I want her to be alone.’

5:04:22.600,5:04:23.640
‘And I want to kill her.’

5:04:23.640,5:04:27.920
You demon, we don’t have time for you. [br]Right now, I say your time has expired!

5:04:27.920,5:04:30.400
Get out!

5:04:33.080,5:04:36.400
In Jesus’ name.

5:04:36.400,5:04:41.400
Sister, rise up, you are free!

5:04:43.480,5:04:47.080
I am Cheila, I am 24 years old and I am from Florida Camagüey.

5:04:47.080,5:04:52.000
Since I was a child, I've suffered a lot of rejection.

5:04:52.000,5:04:58.680
I see events in dreams and one day, [br]I dreamed that I was going to die,

5:04:58.680,5:05:01.000
and a week later, I had an accident.

5:05:01.000,5:05:04.040
It will be four years in August [br]since that happened.

5:05:04.040,5:05:10.600
Since then, I had frightening dreams that I was going to die or someone wanted to kill me.

5:05:10.600,5:05:15.200
And that is what manifested today.

5:05:15.200,5:05:20.720
What did you feel when Brother Chris was praying for you?

5:05:20.720,5:05:27.640
At that moment, I felt anger and [br]a strange strength - I was afraid.

5:05:27.640,5:05:30.920
How do you feel now after the prayer?

5:05:30.920,5:05:32.920
I have peace and relief.

5:05:32.920,5:05:35.080
My body is still shaking!

5:05:35.080,5:05:40.800
God has touched me and I am free.

5:05:40.800,5:05:42.360
Thank God!

5:05:46.080,5:05:48.000
Come out!

5:05:48.000,5:05:51.200
Out of him!

5:05:56.440,5:05:58.440
What have you done to him?

5:05:58.440,5:06:03.360
‘I have destroyed his life!’

5:06:03.360,5:06:13.600
So right now, you spirit of destruction,[br]come out in Jesus’ name!

5:06:19.160,5:06:21.480
Thank You, Jesus!

5:06:21.480,5:06:26.320
Brother, rise up; you are free!

5:06:26.320,5:06:30.840
Thank You, Jesus! You are free.

5:06:31.840,5:06:36.960
I am from Havana. My name is Franceli.

5:06:36.960,5:06:38.160
How old are you?

5:06:38.160,5:06:39.480
I'm 22 years old.

5:06:39.480,5:06:43.160
I came for an encounter [br]with the presence of God,

5:06:43.160,5:06:47.520
and I experienced that [br]during my time here!

5:06:47.520,5:06:53.000
What was your experience when[br]Brother Chris was praying for you?

5:06:53.000,5:06:59.640
Before Brother Chris prayed [br]for me, I was already crying.

5:06:59.640,5:07:08.000
In fact, just by hearing his voice, [br]my body began to react.

5:07:08.000,5:07:14.240
When I came forward, he had not yet ministered to me but I broke down.

5:07:14.240,5:07:21.880
Once he touched me, I fell, and he [br]began to minister deliverance to me.

5:07:21.880,5:07:32.840
When Brother Chris said at the end “Release him, spirit of destruction”,

5:07:32.840,5:07:42.360
I slumped down and stopped reacting; [br]I was disconnected!

5:07:42.360,5:07:44.280
How do you feel now?

5:07:44.280,5:07:47.160
I feel like I'm in the clouds!

5:07:47.160,5:07:52.240
I thank God so much because [br]I don't deserve it.

5:07:52.240,5:07:58.280
I'm not worthy of anything[br]that God can offer me,

5:07:58.280,5:08:03.560
but I thank Him for allowing me to come [br]to this place.

5:08:03.560,5:08:06.600
I have been very blessed [br]with each sermon.

5:08:06.600,5:08:08.120
I feel free!

5:08:11.320,5:08:16.120
Out right now!

5:08:16.120,5:08:27.040
In the name of Jesus Christ, [br]come out right now!

5:08:27.840,5:08:32.480
My name is Gisel, I live in Guantánamo and I am 37 years old.

5:08:32.480,5:08:35.600
Since I was a child,[br]I felt a demonic oppression.

5:08:35.600,5:08:38.240
I suffered from nervous breakdowns

5:08:38.240,5:08:42.280
but I felt that it was a demonic oppression.

5:08:42.280,5:08:46.880
When I felt that presence, [br]I suffered a lot of tachycardia

5:08:46.880,5:08:48.080
and I felt a burning sensation on my skin.

5:08:48.080,5:08:53.960
That attack was coming more frequently and with more symptoms.

5:08:53.960,5:08:57.080
How did all this affect your life?

5:08:57.080,5:09:02.600
I was chubby; I'm skinny now.

5:09:02.600,5:09:05.520
My family was worried.

5:09:05.520,5:09:09.040
What did you feel when Brother Chris prayed for you?

5:09:09.040,5:09:16.480
Before Brother Chris came to me, [br]I felt the evil presence had come.

5:09:16.480,5:09:19.120
It was already manifesting and it was choking me

5:09:19.120,5:09:22.520
because I felt an oppression in the neck.

5:09:22.520,5:09:25.440
But when Brother Chris touched me, [br]the tachycardia stopped.

5:09:25.440,5:09:29.680
I had severe tachycardia [br]but it stopped immediately.

5:09:29.680,5:09:31.480
How do you feel after the prayer?

5:09:31.480,5:09:34.680
I feel good; I know that I've been set free.

5:09:34.680,5:09:39.160
Thank You Lord! Thank You, Father![br]Thank You for using Brother Chris!

5:09:43.680,5:09:48.240
Out right now![br]Come out of him!

5:09:48.240,5:09:53.400
Vomit it out, in the name of Jesus Christ!

5:09:55.880,5:09:58.880
Come out!

5:10:04.120,5:10:09.560
Brother, you are free in Jesus’ name!

5:10:10.400,5:10:11.960
Please, can you tell us your name?

5:10:11.960,5:10:13.880
I am Leiser.

5:10:13.880,5:10:17.320
What did you feel when Brother Chris was praying for you?

5:10:17.320,5:10:19.080
Wow, that was something tremendous!

5:10:19.080,5:10:21.520
I had never experienced a deliverance[br]like that!

5:10:21.520,5:10:27.280
I arrived in a normal state but my legs started to tremble even before he arrived.

5:10:27.280,5:10:30.000
When Brother Chris came, he touched me

5:10:30.000,5:10:37.320
and I couldn’t feel my whole body;[br]I couldn’t move or speak.

5:10:37.320,5:10:43.400
Then when Brother Chris touched me again, I started vomiting.

5:10:43.400,5:10:45.960
And now I'm free. Thank God!

5:10:45.960,5:10:47.760
How do you feel now?

5:10:47.760,5:10:52.680
I feel great. I had chest and back pain[br]before but now I don't have any pain.

5:10:52.680,5:10:54.640
You mean you don't have any pain [br]in your body?

5:10:54.640,5:10:55.440
No pain.

5:10:55.440,5:10:56.560
Has the pain gone?

5:10:56.560,5:10:57.640
It's completely gone.

5:10:57.640,5:11:00.840
I thank God for this deliverance!

5:11:00.840,5:11:02.880
And I am looking forward to greater things from Him!

5:11:03.880,5:11:07.120
My name is Sandra from Havana, Cuba.

5:11:07.120,5:11:16.440
Recently, I was having external haemorrhoids due to severe constipation.

5:11:16.440,5:11:22.760
When I came to the Youth Conference, Brother Chris prayed for me.

5:11:22.760,5:11:28.160
That same day, when I returned back to my lodging place and took a shower,

5:11:28.160,5:11:32.080
I realised that the haemorrhoids [br]had disappeared!

5:11:32.080,5:11:35.240
I am completely healed to the glory of God.

5:11:35.240,5:11:39.840
Today, I mistakenly twisted my ankle.

5:11:39.840,5:11:44.200
It was very painful and I couldn’t put my weight on it.

5:11:44.200,5:11:50.000
I was sitting down but towards the end of the event, when I stood up,

5:11:50.000,5:11:55.320
I started walking normally without any pain! [br]Thank You, God.

5:11:56.400,5:11:57.640
Out of her!

5:11:57.640,5:12:02.160
Who are you?

5:12:02.160,5:12:09.160
‘I want her to become mad and die!’

5:12:10.040,5:12:18.080
Come out in Jesus’ name!

5:12:22.960,5:12:31.000
Rise up, sister, you are free![br]Thank You, Jesus.

5:12:34.680,5:12:38.240
My name is Celia. I am 32 years old.

5:12:38.240,5:12:41.800
I came from Güines but I am originally from Santiago, Cuba.

5:12:41.800,5:12:49.000
When I was 11 years old, I lost my mother, and my father got married again.

5:12:49.000,5:12:55.040
He had a new relationship [br]with another woman.

5:12:55.040,5:13:00.360
I was very hurt because it felt like I was not his daughter.

5:13:00.360,5:13:04.040
He did things to me that should never be done to a child.

5:13:04.040,5:13:07.440
I suffered a lot. I was in that situation[br]for 12 years.

5:13:07.440,5:13:13.440
Because of what he did to me, I felt hatred and resentment towards him.

5:13:13.440,5:13:20.720
I did not even want to see him because [br]I felt disgust and I always told him this.

5:13:20.720,5:13:30.480
I even pulled out my hair. I did not go to a psychiatric clinic, thanks to the Holy Spirit.

5:13:30.480,5:13:37.240
I broke glass with my hands, I pulled out my hair and I broke everything.

5:13:37.240,5:13:46.160
It was a vicious cycle. I drank and mistreated my son.

5:13:46.160,5:13:51.040
Thank God, today I am free! Those mistakes are part of the past!

5:13:51.040,5:13:54.040
What did you feel when Brother Chris was praying for you?

5:13:54.040,5:13:59.320
I felt something was reminding me[br]of the past.

5:13:59.320,5:14:05.200
But at the same time, I felt someone touched me again.

5:14:05.200,5:14:09.960
I saw everything like it was dark, like someone had erased my mind

5:14:09.960,5:14:16.760
so that I could see paradise, because when I got up it was like a different experience.

5:14:16.760,5:14:19.920
I do not know how to explain what I felt in that moment.

5:14:19.920,5:14:25.160
I am new! I have another heart![br]Someone changed me, I am not the same!

5:14:25.160,5:14:27.880
Thank You Lord! Thank You!

5:14:28.880,5:14:33.240
My name is Carina. I am 16 years old and[br]I am from Cuba.

5:14:33.240,5:14:35.480
What was the problem that brought you?

5:14:35.480,5:14:39.680
I mainly came to seek the presence of God.

5:14:39.680,5:14:45.680
Because I have been crying out to Him;[br]I felt an obstruction within me.

5:14:45.680,5:14:50.440
Something was not allowing me to worship Him in the way that I wanted.

5:14:50.440,5:14:58.240
The first day of the event, after I went home, I felt something inside me.

5:14:58.240,5:15:04.240
And the next day I felt the same thing.[br]It was increasing but it did not come out.

5:15:04.240,5:15:11.160
I was asking the Lord to deliver me because I suffered from depression.

5:15:11.160,5:15:16.720
Physically, I was suffering from astigmatism.

5:15:16.720,5:15:21.800
This started when I was 8 years old.[br]It started in my left eye.

5:15:21.800,5:15:26.240
One year ago, in the last medical appointment I had,

5:15:26.240,5:15:30.760
they found this problem was increasing in my right eye.

5:15:30.760,5:15:38.720
I started praying with Brother Chris when he began to minister.

5:15:38.720,5:15:42.280
I started praying for my deliverance[br]and healing.

5:15:42.280,5:15:48.400
I felt a burning sensation as [br]tears were falling.

5:15:48.400,5:15:51.640
What was happening in my eyes - [br]I couldn’t explain.

5:15:51.640,5:15:56.640
Before Brother Chris started to minister,[br]I felt like something was inside my eyes

5:15:56.640,5:15:58.960
that made me feel anxious.

5:15:58.960,5:16:02.560
For the glory of God, I can now say[br]I am healed!

5:16:02.560,5:16:07.440
I saw people blurred but now[br]I can see clearly!

5:16:07.440,5:16:16.840
I feel free and I have not felt like this for years - such a presence of the Holy Spirit!

5:16:16.840,5:16:22.760
I was longing to feel Him in the way I did today; it is something indescribable!

5:16:23.760,5:16:27.840
In the mighty name [br]of Jesus Christ.

5:16:31.480,5:16:35.400
Be healed, in Jesus’ name!

5:16:40.040,5:16:48.200
Right now I say to that unclean spirit - [br]come out, in Jesus’ name!

5:16:48.200,5:16:50.920
Out of him right now!

5:16:53.160,5:16:54.280
Be free, in Jesus’ name!

5:16:56.880,5:17:01.560
I am 23 years old, I am from San Antonio de los Baños, Cuba.

5:17:01.560,5:17:02.680
What's your name?

5:17:02.680,5:17:04.200
My name is Adriel.

5:17:04.200,5:17:06.360
What was the problem that brought you to the youth event?

5:17:06.360,5:17:14.800
The problem is that in my past I watched pornography and masturbated.

5:17:14.800,5:17:18.120
Then I came to Christ and I no longer did that.

5:17:18.120,5:17:22.320
But I was tormented by images that had been saved into my mind.

5:17:22.320,5:17:25.840
They tormented me - I felt tormented.

5:17:25.840,5:17:27.960
Brother Chris prayed for me and I felt a fire

5:17:27.960,5:17:31.600
and something that shook my body! [br]Now I feel free!

5:17:31.600,5:17:34.760
What did you feel when Brother Chris prayed for you?

5:17:34.760,5:17:37.960
A fire in my stomach, something I couldn't resist,

5:17:37.960,5:17:40.840
and something that was shaking in my body.

5:17:40.840,5:17:42.720
Thank you Jesus! I am free!

5:17:43.920,5:17:47.840
Who are you?

5:17:47.840,5:17:54.000
Who are you in this body?

5:17:54.000,5:17:58.680
What have you done to him?

5:18:03.280,5:18:15.040
You demon, we don’t have time for you.[br]In the name of Jesus Christ, get out!

5:18:32.560,5:18:40.120
My name is Vilmaris, I am from Cienfuegos and I am 28 years old.

5:18:40.120,5:18:47.240
This is my husband Yasiel. He also lives in Cienfuegos and is 34 years old.

5:18:47.240,5:18:51.120
I needed deliverance for myself.

5:18:51.120,5:19:05.320
I had problems in my marriage because of the manifestation of anger.

5:19:05.320,5:19:14.360
So I needed deliverance so I could preach to people and feel free inside.

5:19:14.360,5:19:18.280
What did you feel when Brother Chris was praying for you?

5:19:18.280,5:19:24.240
I reacted a lot and fell to the floor shaking.

5:19:24.240,5:19:32.200
I saw and felt the light of Christ in me that was filling me up and setting me free.

5:19:32.200,5:19:34.640
How do you feel after the prayer?

5:19:34.640,5:19:37.040
Free and I'm happy!

5:19:37.040,5:19:39.520
We are leaders of a house fellowship.

5:19:39.520,5:19:46.960
We came looking for anointing[br]and to grow spiritually.

5:19:46.960,5:19:50.200
Earlier on in the service, [br]I began to manifest;

5:19:50.200,5:19:57.160
things began to manifest in my body.

5:19:57.160,5:20:02.440
I knew that to serve the Lord, [br]I needed deliverance.

5:20:02.440,5:20:14.120
There was a war inside me when I was told to go forward for prayer.

5:20:14.120,5:20:29.200
When I got to the prayer line, [br]a demonic spirit began to manifest.

5:20:29.200,5:20:36.040
I was under oppression. They had to hold me. I screamed and it wouldn't go out.

5:20:36.040,5:20:41.360
So inside of me, I was aware that something was telling me,

5:20:41.360,5:20:44.520
‘Yasiel, open your eyes[br]and receive freedom!’

5:20:44.520,5:20:48.320
But there was another force that wouldn't[br]let me open my eyes or become free.

5:20:48.320,5:20:51.400
Until Brother Chris came[br]and prayed for me!

5:20:51.400,5:21:03.800
Before he arrived, I desired for him to come and when he did, I was released!

5:21:03.800,5:21:12.360
I fell to the ground and got up in tears!

5:21:12.360,5:21:16.040
It felt like a great weight had been [br]removed from me!

5:21:16.040,5:21:17.640
How do you feel after the prayer?

5:21:17.640,5:21:19.360
Free! Thank God!

5:21:24.440,5:21:28.360
Out of her!

5:21:38.520,5:21:41.240
In Jesus’ name!

5:21:42.480,5:21:50.240
I came to the youth event with a disease called myopia and also generational curses

5:21:50.240,5:21:54.600
because my grandmother and all my ancestors had cancer.

5:21:54.600,5:21:55.800
They died of cancer.

5:21:55.800,5:22:00.120
My grandmother has cancer and I had begun to feel the symptoms she has in her lungs.

5:22:00.120,5:22:03.280
Before I received prayer, I was feeling this.

5:22:03.280,5:22:06.640
When I went to the prayer line,[br]I received prayer.

5:22:06.640,5:22:10.560
I felt a release because immediately the pain was gone.

5:22:10.560,5:22:13.440
I fell to the ground; I couldn't get up.

5:22:13.440,5:22:16.720
I am free from that generational curse!

5:22:16.720,5:22:18.800
I feel very good.

5:22:18.800,5:22:25.320
I see well and I no longer have itchy eyes;[br]I can see clearly.

5:22:25.320,5:22:33.640
From a distance, I saw people blurred;[br]I couldn't see their faces clearly.

5:22:33.640,5:22:38.760
My eyes were always very itchy.

5:22:38.760,5:22:44.200
Today, after the prayer, I have not felt any itching. Yesterday, they were very itchy.

5:22:44.200,5:22:47.320
But today, I don't have it, [br]in the mighty name of Jesus.

5:22:47.320,5:22:50.880
Now you can see a long distance?

5:22:50.880,5:22:56.960
Yes, I'm looking at you and can clearly see your skin features and eyebrows.

5:22:56.960,5:23:00.640
Before, I couldn't see those small details.

5:23:00.640,5:23:04.480
Thank You, Lord. In the mighty [br]name of Jesus. Amen.

5:23:05.240,5:23:07.560
My name is Luis.

5:23:07.560,5:23:10.400
I am from Cuba, [br]from San José de Las Lajas.

5:23:10.400,5:23:12.720
What was the problem you were facing?

5:23:12.720,5:23:19.440
A while ago, I was into pornography and masturbation, with lustful thoughts.

5:23:19.440,5:23:23.840
Jesus set me free from that but I still had thoughts of lust.

5:23:23.840,5:23:30.720
In my dreams, unclean spirits came to paralyse me and to have sex with me.

5:23:30.720,5:23:33.280
Today, I feel free from that!

5:23:33.280,5:23:35.040
How did this problem affect your daily life?

5:23:35.040,5:23:41.480
It affected me a lot because it leads you to be doing bad things, to sin.

5:23:41.480,5:23:43.480
And then when you are sleeping,

5:23:43.480,5:23:47.320
looking for a moment of peace and you want to wake up refreshed,

5:23:47.320,5:23:51.880
you wake up and remember the dream you had that disturbed you all night,

5:23:51.880,5:23:55.200
with those unclean spirits [br]while you were sleeping.

5:23:55.200,5:23:56.840
It's something bad.

5:23:56.840,5:24:00.880
What did you feel when Brother Chris was praying for you?

5:24:00.880,5:24:06.320
I was trembling and I was burping a lot.

5:24:06.320,5:24:11.720
I was thinking, ‘What is this?’ [br]but then I realised I was free!

5:24:11.720,5:24:15.320
When Brother Chris prayed for me, he told me "You are free in the name of Jesus!"

5:24:15.320,5:24:22.080
I felt that something was coming out of me.

5:24:22.080,5:24:23.400
How do you feel now?

5:24:23.400,5:24:25.600
I feel good!

5:24:25.600,5:24:28.280
Yes, I have been delivered.

5:24:28.280,5:24:33.720
I thank Jesus, the church and blessings to everyone! Amen!

5:24:37.520,5:24:42.000
What have you done to him?

5:24:42.000,5:24:51.040
‘I want his family.’

5:25:00.600,5:25:04.680
You demon, your time has come to an end.

5:25:04.680,5:25:16.480
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ,[br]come out of him right now!

5:25:19.800,5:25:30.840
In Jesus’ name. Brother, you are free,[br]rise up for the glory of God!

5:25:31.680,5:25:36.680
My name is Samuel.[br]I am from Havana, Cuba.

5:25:36.680,5:25:47.200
I was being afflicted by anger. It affected me so much to the extent that

5:25:47.200,5:25:51.640
I was always angry with [br]my mum and siblings.

5:25:51.640,5:25:56.400
I told her horrible things that at the same time I didn't want to tell her.

5:25:56.400,5:26:00.200
I felt that it was something[br]that was not from me.

5:26:00.200,5:26:04.720
It was something that dominated me.

5:26:04.720,5:26:12.560
I arrived today and saw the man of God and I gave myself completely.

5:26:12.560,5:26:22.920
I gave myself to Jesus and told Him that [br]I wanted to be free from anger.

5:26:22.920,5:26:27.880
God did the work and healed me!

5:26:27.880,5:26:31.960
I hadn’t known that I had something inside of me, but now I feel free and light!

5:26:34.680,5:26:39.520
Come out![br]Out of him!

5:26:44.080,5:26:47.360
In the mighty name of Jesus, who are you?

5:26:47.360,5:26:50.640
‘The spirit of anger.’

5:26:50.640,5:26:54.200
What have you done to this marriage?

5:26:54.200,5:26:58.280
‘I made him always angry with his wife!’

5:26:58.280,5:27:07.360
You spirit of anger, your time has expired in his body!

5:27:07.360,5:27:12.160
Vomit it out, right now, [br]in the name of Jesus!

5:27:12.160,5:27:19.200
Come out of him!

5:27:19.200,5:27:29.640
Brother, rise up![br]You are free; your marriage is free!

5:27:29.640,5:27:34.040
It is over! Thank You, Jesus.

5:27:34.680,5:27:39.880
My name is José, I am 24 years old and I'm from Santiago de Cuba.

5:27:39.880,5:27:41.680
Who is the person next to you?

5:27:41.680,5:27:44.600
She is Maria, my wife.

5:27:44.600,5:27:52.720
I was in a very complicated situation;[br]I was full of anger.

5:27:52.720,5:27:55.360
I was very uncomfortable with her.

5:27:55.360,5:27:59.280
She tried to tell me some things and [br]I couldn't understand her.

5:27:59.280,5:28:05.320
Thank God the Holy Spirit has touched me and He has delivered me from all that.

5:28:05.320,5:28:09.600
What did you feel when Brother Chris prayed for you?

5:28:09.600,5:28:15.320
An immense peace and deliverance when [br]I was touched by the Holy Spirit.

5:28:15.320,5:28:18.120
Did you have any sensation in your body?

5:28:18.120,5:28:21.400
Yes, a burden was taken away.

5:28:21.400,5:28:25.360
I believe these problems are over, [br]there is no more anger

5:28:25.360,5:28:26.920
and everything will be fine from now on!

5:28:27.800,5:28:28.880
My name is Samay.

5:28:28.880,5:28:33.280
I was suffering from headaches.

5:28:33.280,5:28:40.440
I was feeling oppressed, unhappy with myself and everything I did failed.

5:28:40.440,5:28:52.080
When Brother Chris said we should prepare our hearts to receive from God,

5:28:52.080,5:28:57.080
I took that message seriously and started preparing my heart.

5:28:57.080,5:29:02.320
When he touched me, I received my deliverance and miracle.

5:29:02.320,5:29:06.280
I started vomiting and coughing.

5:29:06.280,5:29:10.280
Now, I can testify that I am free!

5:29:10.280,5:29:19.960
That headache and oppression is no longer there; every burden has left me!

5:29:19.960,5:29:25.640
I have laid my burdens before God and [br]He is fighting for me.

5:29:25.640,5:29:35.640
I thank God for using Brother Chris to bless me and deliver me. Thank you very much!
