Today rarely have missionary out how implacable and us and we have a dichotomy unique relationship or friendship. I was then I was with David when the missionary who arranges trips to different parts of the world permissions, projects, and I was in Harare, Zimbabwe, just north of South Africa, you're wondering where Zimbabwe is, and I was simply Renaissance house where the missionary. We commanded we would be there in the legal lots of these different villages in places to speak sometimes being one day trips and some days would be fighting since all of our setting in the living room. There are a number of people from different parts of country, some from Africa. Other parts of Africa and Ellen are setting their analysis as well. Yes, we rise from my sunblock from John Constable, where celebrities is often lovely self areas off the management wherein wherein Africa about so one last time I flew home from their forty one hours South twenty one hours from there I meet a guy from lovely style that he no longer lives in lovely live in South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, somewhere down there and help you come you share with us his missions work that he is doing and down his ministry, I think, is a unique permissions in the sense that he travels all over the world with his projects in different groups and speaks and teaches and trains, and so were going to turn over Alan God bless you my friend. E-mail your lovely all you lovely people who stars as I was driving, driving, driving it was morning Ike I know I can buy one place at Pleasantville, none of nice and lovely. I said oh, what a nice place to live in is a joy to be back with you in here and several occasions after meeting your pastor there in the robbery and in all, for those of you who know me I been in missions, now forty four years. My wife and I began forty four years ago, my going to Costa Rica and that's where my children were born born, and then they grew up. Young years in Guatemala and then their teenage years say they grew up in the early graduate from high school. Actually in Chile, South America, so it's been forty four years ago that my wife and I started up for missions and forty four years, you do a lot of things because Teresa was mostly planting churches. It's hard to believe in our day-to-day minutes going back many years and largest church in the whole country of coaster Rico at that time added two hundred and fifty people, now you have a ghost written their churches of thousands and thousands of people. It's amazing what has happened around the world. Over the years, and iCal are tremendous privilege to be part of a little tiny marry a grain of sand. What God is doing around the world, but I just thank the Lord for that planning churches helped us start several Bible schools in teaching Bible schools for years, Dylan, teaching Bible schools and then I got you involved in ministry and pastors, probably for the last twenty years. Mostly what I do is ministry for pastors and also through Bible schools would your form with your future leaders also another thing that I involved in lending going to Cuba now for ten years and Cuba as such a different world is so close home, but it's a home world that you really, I can't even fathom what it's like after ten years of going there because life is so complicated in Cuba as we try to help build churches for the people in Cuba so Farmington thirteen different churches in Cuba and God is moving in a tremendous way you don't mind my, my testimony of what God is doing emissions is harvest time around the world. Everywhere I go, no as I said, I mostly mystery seminars. The pastors urge you and Bible schools, but they always want you to preach in the churches and every service on every service people get saved, when I preached and in the church service. Many people get over the Holy Ghost is a tremendous time to be alive. I just got back from Mexico until Pastor Magee, that I literally felt I was a prisoner of Mexico because I think you're all aware of all the violence in an murderers going on in Mexico and they kept the pastors seen that we would would only go home when we were with someone of them at least two people everyone out one time without two people. My son was there with me to people with us, just as the church back to. We stayed back to where we were not the minister they were go with this and then because even the pastors themselves. They do the same thing may affect one of the. The last church on medicine and was very large church and the system pastor told me in the last I can give you exact moment time, but when I just seen in there, which was last month he wasn't driving his own car because he has had two cars stolen from him, and a short time ago he was out and there was a police roadblock in the policeman stole his car with the computer RAM, and a good the money in the car then triplets. In time he got another car and he is going home from church to his wife home with children. Denali got out of the car, walked inside the house and right behind them was a man with a pistol and he said I want your car and he knows enough about Mexico that you don't resist in any way they'll shoot you spot like that, as we said, would you please allow me to get the children's things out of the car, which they did and then drove off with these car so you know, just a short time to card is stolen, and this is a normal thing and of what is happening. I know I was talking to pastor. Maybe I I I really respect his son, who works in El Salvador. I've been through Salvador now for probably forty two years ago, most every year and I was there in January, Guatemala, Salvadoran, Honduras, and I just appalled at the violence. I lived for four years in Guatemala and the violence was coming. It was a muting wellsite your house after ten o'clock at night because killings, robberies, but since that time, it is so much worse. It is so up and increase the robbery and the violence, gangs controlling large sections of cities and a few don't pay them. They call it protection, but if you don't pay them protection. Your life is gone and is gone and there is no mercy whatsoever, and so you know one when I travel to these countries is good to know that people are praying. So I stand before you this morning asking you pray especially for your pastor son and not only them but of the missionaries who work in those areas myself because his violence around every corner, but I put I appreciate the goodness of God loud music. Go and share and I have us a short DVD because I was a basically explains the ministry that I do mostly teaching pastors and leaders, Bible schools and numbers show that is, there were countries of the world. I've been a lot more countries is on the pencil and then the zone. The DVD, but it'll give you some pictures and and faces of people that you might be able to identify some of the peoples of the world and you know, just one, someone thought that I'll be with you before we look at that in three weeks. I'm leaving for Kenya and Rwanda. I don't know. Probably some of you might know others might not. But twelve years ago in the country were Wanda, there was a massacre between the two main drives in that country. The Hutu and the glitzy and they claimed that in the hundred days, they slaughter a million people on it is just incredible. Can you imagine a million people being cut. The piece of machetes shot down in cold blood, but what I wanted to say was when this was going on many the people fled insights into into the churches hoping that you know they would be safe. But the people writing behind them, and literally hacked and the death inside the churches and a friend of mine are of your brother Jim Smith. He's goes with more muscle. Most every year are Eugene Smith. This is the Eugene Smith. He was there two years ago and told me that some of these churches on purpose. They left them just the way it happened and you won't even win the non- you my sambar, a morbid, but I'm on my, I'm really looking forward to go there to see this is the help, help me, even appreciate more the freedom we have a worship the Lord but in some of these churches. The bones are still there. The skeletons of their when they were actually killed never clean them up and you know, it just makes us we should make us appreciate the goodness of the Lord, hear our own country or things compared to other places are going quite well, so I want to put this wishes DVD and then now look into the word of God with you. So if you could just begin that please truly the world 's and harvest time, and I thank God for the privilege of having particles and I want to share with you this morning. Some words from the Scriptures. Most of the words of Jesus, but you know sometimes they tell us when you pick up a book and you want to know about the book, you go to the last chapter and asked what I would like to do to begin what I want to share with you this morning. If you have your Bibles elect three two versus out of the invisible book of Revelation. First of all, beginning in chapter five of starting in verse nine, Revelation, chapter five verse nine it says and they sung a new song, saying, thou are worthy to take the book to open the seals thereof, for thou wast slain, and has redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and this is especially what I want us to pay attention to in the light of the message it says has redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and every tongue, and every people, and every nation has made us unto our God kings and priests, and we shall reign on the years know sometimes of people asked me why I keep on traveling around the world. This year I'm going to be is like all the other years is your moment been a country 's next years already start and fell off, but some people ask why do you do this in mind, this is my prayer among many others, but we looking at this. This verse that around the throne for people from every kindred Tongan people and nation. I've asked the Lord, Lord, allow me to have a part in maybe just having that the benefit of somehow the reward of having someone around that throne may be from China. From the Amazon jungle Africa USA wormer might be, but this is my heart 's cry that is a scene around the throne. It's going to be from every people of the year. Every nation, every tongue, every drive and it also says in chapter seven of Revelation beginning in verse nine. After this I beheld in lieu of a great multitude, says which no man could number, can you imagine that no man can number it all in our country talk about the debt now up into the trillions. But this is the only trillions is Joe's were we don't have numbers and it says there was a great multitude which no man could number, of all nations of the process again of all nations and all kindreds, and all people in all tongues, stood before the throne and before the Lamb with white robes, palms in their hands and they cried with a loud voice, saying, salvation for God. We says upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. So this is the end of the book where interview all culminated by every Tom people from all nations of the world worshiping our Lord Jesus Christ, and rejoicing in the infant and the joys of glory in heaven and you know when the probably most well-known verses of the Scripture. John three sixteen for God so loved the world, not only us aren't reason for that he loved us. Are we thankful that he love us this morning that he reached out, no one can say your thankful you're a man, you are thankful to the Lord reached out to you in Windber, or wherever you met the Lord Jesus Christ, because we were part of God 's world. God so loved that world that he gave his only begotten son, that in him we would be sitting here today worshiping and when God calls us home will be part of that group of people that make up all his describes Aaron the book of Revelation, and I find it very interesting. You know the for God so loved the world that he gave his only son God had one son, and he made that son of missionary and I think that you speak at law of our God speak a lot of our Jesus Christ, that he abandoned the glories of heaven. He abandoned the glories of heaven for you and I need left all of that for you and I that we might rejoice because he wants us to be in that number around the throne of God worshiping the Lord along with so many other peoples of the world and I find it interesting before Jesus left this world and went back to old ways that what he San Avenue I believe is very very important because all the writers of the Gospels are recorded. The very last words of Jesus. Now if you knew you were dying horribly, but basically not dying in the case of Jesus because he knew he was dying and he already had died on the cross and was resurrected and spent forty days on the earth of speaking to different ones. His disciples and others all, but when he knew he was ready to leave this earth and to return to the father waiting the day when he would return again to take his people back with him. I would say probably what might be some of the most important words that one could ever speak if you know you are leaving and being your last time with them. I think you probably choose your very reverse of your words very, very well and they would have great substance that would have great purpose that you would want to restricted those remaining behind, and in the end, and the four Gospels, the four writers of the Gospels recorded these very last words of Jesus and I want to look at them with you very briefly, because it has a lot to do with the book of revelations is versus that I read in the book of Revelation and the first of will look at John chapter twenty four. Read verse twenty one and twenty two and Jesus is speaking to his disciples is about ready to leave, going back to the father, and he says in John chapter twenty be an inverse twenty one then said Jesus to the and peace be unto you know, this is what he said, as my father has sent me, even so send I you know you could say whether some of this for that. As I listened this for the twelve apostles are the apostles. But actually this is a word for all of us as Jesus was leaving, he sent the message to his disciples would walk with him for three and a half years as the father sent me, I left all my glory. Either all the worship and in and in the heaven with the Angels and you can imagine on what we really can't imagine the glories of heaven, the splendor what it might be to be in the very presence of God the father and of the worship in the Angels. But Jesus left all of that, according to the father 's wishes to send the Lord Jesus for God so loved the world that he gave his second and now Jesus is leaving, and he says to his disciples, and we should not only think of those eleven, but we should think of us as well if we call ourselves a disciple of the Lord Jesus as as the father has sent me, even so send I you and this was a very forceful work that Jesus was giving the disciples as is and what he has said this, he breathed on them and said unto them, receive ye the Holy Ghost. Now this is what they receive what you and I would call salvation in this particular course of John. They were what we would call today, born again, he received upon them, and he said, receive ye the Holy Ghost. Now it was not overdone or read about in the book of acts is a little bit after this because in the book of acts they receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost. But here they were, are being born again, just like you and I met the Lord Jesus, the process of being born again, and he tells his disciples that they are being sent just as a father sent him to this world. Now if we would look at them of the gospel of Mark Mark records this because as I said these words are recorded by in the four Gospels, and also in in the book of acts, but in Mark chapter sixteen of Mark writes like Jesus was saying here about what were talking about here. Mark chapter sixteen, beginning at adverse fifteen. Any sentence of them go now I want to notice this work go. Jesus says as a father sent me, he had to go from heaven. He had to go from eternity to you and I to winter, Pennsylvania. He had to go to his goal, and look what he says into all into all the world into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. Go to all the world and preach the gospel to every creature one Matthew records. This is all the same title is all happening at the same time what Jesus say in Matthew records it in this way. Matthew chapter twenty eight, beginning at verse verse eighteen. Matthews writes it this way. Matthew twenty eight, verse eighteen, Jesus came and spake him that I'm saying all powers given to me in heaven your ad here again, Matthew brings it out go, go, you see the gospel begins with go and if the gospel is going to go to all the world, then there must be foregoing, there must be this way around it. And so Jesus says: he therefore and teach all nations. Now Mark said go into all the world and preach Matthew said: teach all nations, and he's breaking it down like you find in the book of Revelation that the tongs dimensions of that all the tongues of tribes and nations of the people. So Mark is a breaking and breaking it down. We could sail for God so loved the world, go into all the world, but then Mark says go and teach all nations, which means the tribes of the different tribes of the earth, you know, and there are so many around the world. You go to Ghana forty seven different dialects. I was just talking to the man the other day from Ethiopia, and I forgot the exact number, but either he says something like ninety some dialects in his country. So you see how many people and you multiply that around the world. All the different countries around the world China and all these other places. How many different peoples. They have so Mark Raikes is down go and teach all nations, and this is a command that Jesus gave to us. Now if we take this to note what Luke said about this in Luke chapter twenty four, Luke mentions another thought. It's all put together a solid, the same context is all happening at the same time Jesus is just about ready to leave his last words of wonder Soma records what Jesus is saying in the twenty four, beginning in verse forty three and he took it and many before them. Any set under them. These are the words which I spake unto you while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the law Moses and the prophets and in the Psalms, concerning me, then open then opened he their understanding and they might understand the scriptures, then sent on to him that it is written, and does indeed will price to suffer and to rise and then the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations and see what is Lucas thing here among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem or beginning at Wittenberg, beginning at Johnstown beginning to have recounted it should, as it has, and he says, should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. Then he goes on to say, and ye are witnesses. Witnesses of these things so what is a witnessed someone who has seen has heard as it has had experience if you're saying this morning you've had an experience and your qualified to be aware if you're not saying this morning, you need to get a say in this morning and you can be a weapon, but anyone who is born again, we are witnesses of the power of God change a sinful life and make it a creature that is ready to meet the Lord Jesus in heaven. So Jesus says you are witnesses of these things and be a fault, I send the promise of my father upon you, and tarry in the city, Jerusalem I'm meeting you be in power from on high, so we says it begins in Jerusalem, and then it goes out from there. Now, in the book of acts chapter one. This is all all at the same time, the very last words of Jesus and asked chapter one we find this these words beginning in verse two. In the end, the same was in the beginning good number of the Jones act access until the day in which he was taken up. After that he threw the Holy Ghost had given commandments and I went to notice this were your commandments going to find two times the work Commandments not Commandments of Monterey popular word in our day. No one likes to be commanded. No one likes the receipt of orders, but that's the Bible. Whether we like it or not, you know, we were not a lot of flack against the ten Commandments. No one wants to come under someone giving a commandment, but here the Lord Jesus is giving his commandments, and I'm freshly really do not understand that them of the great commission that was his great commission is a commandment of the Lord Jesus is not if you feel like it's if you get enough gumption around unction or whatever you get, but it's a commandment to fulfill the great commission and so it says here, and whom he also showed himself on those, using a backup that was after I threw the Holy Ghost, and given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen to whom also he showed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God stories now winding up the forty days and being assembled together with them, commanded them to hear your finest word again commanded them, commanded them. They shall not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the father with Jesse E have heard of me for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. So we already see in John twenty where Jesus received the Holy Ghost. They were born again, but now he's saying in a few days I want to send the promise of the father, and usually baptized in the Holy Ghost. Neither know where you are you stand this morning, but if you're born again and not baptize the Holy Ghost usually baptized the Holy Ghost because as part of God 's plan for our lives. It truly, we might be witnesses. Now, as this continues on when they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel now she needs disciples were just like many of us. They were so long down in natural things. They were so long down everyday life that they really weren't hearing what Jesus would say even though Jesus talking for three and a half years that his kingdom was not of this world and that his kingdom was another kingdom. They never could get it really inside their hearts intervene in their minds, because right now Jesus is crucified is been resurrected almost ready to leave and these disciples are worried about the kingdom to go to see they were under the Roman Empire. Great persecution by the Roman Empire, and they were being treated in a very terrible way and they wanted freedom they wanted Jesus to come set up his kingdom. That's why the disciples when they walk within one Lucent one on the right hand on the left hand because they wanted on the oppositional Florida State and they would rule over the Romans because they would want to be under Christ's kingdom, but this was a seminar in our hearts and minds. After all this time and I think it takes a lot for us to anything ourselves from God himself to entertain ourselves all me myself and I went to ourselves and everything. The ball was about our own kingdom here in this world, and when they said that to Jesus. Jesus is the first seventy seven and then it is not you, he rebukes them is not for you to know the times of the seasons which the father put in his own power, but you shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you and you shall be witnesses. Those using it in this is the very same thing that we must say all the time you shall be witnesses unto me, any mentions for places both in Jerusalem, and all of Judea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost parts of the earth, and when he has spoken these things, while he be dead, behold, he was taken up in a cloud received him out of their sight, and while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, which also said he met of Galilee, why stand you gazing up into heaven. This same Jesus, which is taken up from you and they haven't, so, so, in like manner as you have seen him go into heaven. So the very same way. Jesus was taken up, was caught up, left the disciples behind the sole purpose that they would be witnesses. Beginning in Windber and then in Cambria County and then going out. Maybe the Lancaster County, and then be on that to the regions of the world. This is the whole purpose that you might be witnesses and he says that that the angel said the same way that Jesus left the same way, you'll come to so he commanded them. This is the commandment of the Lord, and that they would be witnesses. Now I think I think probably this is a little bit off of my subject, but not really. Not but you know next time they were not meant to be here next Sunday, the world to be over. According to some people that are saying May twenty first is the end of the world agreed earthquake is going to get the world, but were going to be here next Sunday at Manas and false prophet, but I know light of what I'm saying is this. If you go to Matthew chapter twenty four of verse fourteen. Jesus said that he will not return until all the world has had the time to receive the gospel, and the witnesses. I went out into all the world and preach the gospel in Matthew chapter twenty four of verse fourteen. The Scripture says the end of that passage worries talking about the end times. Verse fourteen and this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness area to come back to that word witness is also learn and looking at this gospel should be preached in all the world member of what we looking at an eighties versus using the heart of God. The heart of Jesus is all of the world and he wants that could be placed within our hearts. He was sent to be within us that we would be world Christians, not worldly Christians but world Christians, we would have eyes to look out to the world and see that as part of the great commission that we are commanded is not just the wish if you so desire, but your command to be part of any says it begins in Jerusalem, which begins in with Pennsylvania and then it begins to spread out of into other as as as as as as as verse fourteen says in this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations brings you again all nations, all people 's outcomes. All tribes and then shall the income is not coming next. A coming next on Saturday because as I happened, but I want to get back to whatever say recently met effective like Todd in four different Bible schools in Central America in January and I was teaching the life of Christ, and to me. A lot of things were made earlier fresh in a new and open my eyes to some things about the Lord Jesus, as I was teaching the life of Christ and of you know, Jesus said right here in the book of acts. These are usually witnesses in Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria, and unto the other most parts of the world. But Jesus was not like probably a lot of us that we don't practice what we preach. Jesus practiced everything he preached, and when he said he should be witnesses in Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost parts of the world, he get that the actually live that out when we consider the world. We must understand the world and Jesus say this, obviously, Jesus preached in Jerusalem. The management Jerusalem and enjoy the which was the surrounding parts around Jerusalem suburb part of Israel as obvious when you look in the Scriptures. He was in that that part of his world through the but then he went to Samaria don't you have a famous awareness American woman and other parts of, nor of northern Samaria. So, Jesus reached out. He began in Jerusalem. He went out to enjoy the. Anyone out to Samaria, and then he went to Capernaum, Capernaum was in Galilee now Capernaum was Galilee was the north of Samaria, which we did, we would would be better than that of the northern part of Israel today and they say is you study the Scriptures probably sixty or maybe four more percent of Christ's ministry and America's of the place in the life of Jesus. The place in Galilee around Capernaum, so, so I showing that was where the heart of Jesus was yes. The minister you want to say a minister Ben Wittenberg. Yes, the Minister McHenry County and then he went on, you know, say to the Lancaster wherever that might be. But then after that he went even beyond that because the Bible talks about Jesus ministering entire inside is high recited in this modern-day Lebanon. So Jesus went into another country he left the borders of Israel and went more into North and the modern Lebanon. He ministered and in Caesarea, David which is modern-day Syria and then he ministered in Gadara and Decapolis, which is modern-day Jordan. So Jesus live everything. It breaks it was part of his life and and and as I said at least sixty percent or more was spent outside of Jerusalem. So what what all this shows that there is a part to play in Jerusalem. We can not just everything in Jerusalem, but we must go as Jesus is out further into Cambria County, Judea and have a ministry have a partner gone beyond that and eventually under the outermost parts of the world. Now I'm whatever just read a little bit here, a couple thoughts from a man that I do read read read recently was writing an article about the gospel and lighted one of sharing here this morning. The gospel makes a total difference in a man's life from within and without, there must be that difference and I think probably one of the great needs of our day-to-day. I'm not wearing my finger and your people here, but the great knees as you look around everywhere that there is a lot of the gospel, but it seems that a lot of Christians are not being witnesses are not living the life and not really making and not standing out as as what Jesus underlies it seems like many Christians are almost like part of the world today that the early Christians did not have their own program or policy to promote. They had a living Lord, to proclaim their attitude was in every heart without price was a mission field and every Christian was a missionary. I thought that was very good to me. Read that again. Their attitude was every far without Christ was a mission field and every Christian was a missionary. We had a bad habit of blowing their hearts, and I go wonderfully. They had awoken their hearts and a goal in their feet. You see, it's impossible of what Jesus commanded us to not put feet, what we believe we possess the beginning of the gospel to go and what were their hearts and they had I know in their freedoms. There was nothing casual nonchalant about the early Saints. They turned the world upside down. They lived at true 's they preach we cannot be rightly related to the Lord and wrong, related to mission in out no one can say, let us not my bag. I thought my calling is not my you know no one can say that no one ever you are. You don't have to be called to be like maybe myself to the whole lifestyle forty four years now as a missionary, but your call whether it's just a whimper, Cameron County, or whether it were all called and so as this writer is saying we cannot be right related to the Lord, and wrongly related submission price caused caused the mass maximum surrender total obedience and wholehearted commitment, the early Christians first gave the Roman south of the ward. They did not live unto themselves, but under him who died for them, and rose again, and in the lives of themselves, but they live for the Lord God can do is best in us and through us as we yield ourselves completely to him. The site. The site of thinking souls must move us to action and concern. We are not around. We must put ourselves in our substance and God 's disposal. We must be loyal to Christ and conscientious in the discharge of our duty to the lost. We need a Christlike Calvary love for the lost. We must go if we wouldn't, so an week if we would read the read that again we would go. We must go if we would so an week if we would reach crisis go is as is as sublime as order ever given on earth are supreme aim must be to share the living Christ with a dying world, the teeming millions. He could hear our redeeming Savior, we don't have no right to make the great commission. No invoice using us commandment as a commandment of the Lord over the shame of wasting our time and talents is wrong to rob God of our money, influence and time that they say this is a lot of times people want to think about mission is a think about money. You know God is not after your money 's on after your money when God is after is a you is after me because of it. Yes me or if he gets you a gotcha money it out so it's not a problem of what you know what guys out to get. He's out to get us and as I close this morning, I would ask all of us to just think about this morning where my in the light of the great commission would just shrug it off. The Lord gave his nieces as the father sent me, so send I you and each one. This means different things were also roles and if our master practiced what he preached. He lived when he preached how much for you and I still gone over what I want to have a part I want to have a part in the first part is even getting a hold of us. When God gets a hold of us. He got her time he got our money you got everything new EAE. He needs if he gets a hold of us. Sometimes it is a well maybe I'll give a little money do this out of that, but he's after you and I and I like just the closest morning by my results stand to her feet and could we just say to the warden here among here my Lord Jesus here on my it out either. What God has in store for you, but I'm convinced, because of all years about admissions in every church. There are many people called in submissions. They're good Christians, but do not obey the Lord and I don't worry you are this morning, but I would challenge you to take these words that I've been reading that the reason this morning were standing around the throne. Our cries out. So God when I'm standing around the throne, I want to look and join hands with an African join hands with the Chinese joined hands with a new in awe. I have been my son. I love October were northern India, ninety nine. Nine non-Christian ninety nine. Nine non-Christian terrible persecution. You see, I wanted have the joy of joining hands with and and joining hands, someone from the Caribbean Weber, Mike, what is real. What a blessing when that great worship in heaven, every tongue, every tribe, every nation, you have a part you want to have a part. You know, must not be like the disciples who wanted to have their own kingdom. They want their own life. Enjoy Jesus, don't even think about that what you need to get the Holy Ghost, and you may witness be aware you like to I don't have to like this razor hands, still God, hear my here are mine father, we present ourselves to you this morning. We present ourselves to you this morning. God hear my here mind, which is let the witness my life and witness beginning and when and to reach out get me Lord, give me to get a hold of me, Lord Jesus, Your Honor. After my money you're after my sacrifices you just want to get a hold of me so I give myself to you this morning. I'll go where you want me to go. I'll give which limited view of the witch woman to do, Lord God, help me to understand that my life 's not my own. When Jesus gave it all whom I can say is my life. No, God, my life insurance Lord, which worries you, worshiping today in the name of the Lord Jesus, thank you have a fatherToday rarely have missionary out how implacable and us and we have a dichotomy unique relationship or friendship. I was then I was with David when the missionary who arranges trips to different parts of the world permissions, projects, and I was in Harare, Zimbabwe, just north of South Africa, you're wondering where Zimbabwe is, and I was simply Renaissance house where the missionary. We commanded we would be there in the legal lots of these different villages in places to speak sometimes being one day trips and some days would be fighting since all of our setting in the living room. There are a number of people from different parts of country, some from Africa. Other parts of Africa and Ellen are setting their analysis as well. Yes, we rise from my sunblock from John Constable, where celebrities is often lovely self areas off the management wherein wherein Africa about so one last time I flew home from their forty one hours South twenty one hours from there I meet a guy from lovely style that he no longer lives in lovely live in South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, somewhere down there and help you come you share with us his missions work that he is doing and down his ministry, I think, is a unique permissions in the sense that he travels all over the world with his projects in different groups and speaks and teaches and trains, and so were going to turn over Alan God bless you my friend. E-mail your lovely all you lovely people who stars as I was driving, driving, driving it was morning Ike I know I can buy one place at Pleasantville, none of nice and lovely. I said oh, what a nice place to live in is a joy to be back with you in here and several occasions after meeting your pastor there in the robbery and in all, for those of you who know me I been in missions, now forty four years. My wife and I began forty four years ago, my going to Costa Rica and that's where my children were born born, and then they grew up. Young years in Guatemala and then their teenage years say they grew up in the early graduate from high school. Actually in Chile, South America, so it's been forty four years ago that my wife and I started up for missions and forty four years, you do a lot of things because Teresa was mostly planting churches. It's hard to believe in our day-to-day minutes going back many years and largest church in the whole country of coaster Rico at that time added two hundred and fifty people, now you have a ghost written their churches of thousands and thousands of people. It's amazing what has happened around the world. Over the years, and iCal are tremendous privilege to be part of a little tiny marry a grain of sand. What God is doing around the world, but I just thank the Lord for that planning churches helped us start several Bible schools in teaching Bible schools for years, Dylan, teaching Bible schools and then I got you involved in ministry and pastors, probably for the last twenty years. Mostly what I do is ministry for pastors and also through Bible schools would your form with your future leaders also another thing that I involved in lending going to Cuba now for ten years and Cuba as such a different world is so close home, but it's a home world that you really, I can't even fathom what it's like after ten years of going there because life is so complicated in Cuba as we try to help build churches for the people in Cuba so Farmington thirteen different churches in Cuba and God is moving in a tremendous way you don't mind my, my testimony of what God is doing emissions is harvest time around the world. Everywhere I go, no as I said, I mostly mystery seminars. The pastors urge you and Bible schools, but they always want you to preach in the churches and every service on every service people get saved, when I preached and in the church service. Many people get over the Holy Ghost is a tremendous time to be alive. I just got back from Mexico until Pastor Magee, that I literally felt I was a prisoner of Mexico because I think you're all aware of all the violence in an murderers going on in Mexico and they kept the pastors seen that we would would only go home when we were with someone of them at least two people everyone out one time without two people. My son was there with me to people with us, just as the church back to. We stayed back to where we were not the minister they were go with this and then because even the pastors themselves. They do the same thing may affect one of the. The last church on medicine and was very large church and the system pastor told me in the last I can give you exact moment time, but when I just seen in there, which was last month he wasn't driving his own car because he has had two cars stolen from him, and a short time ago he was out and there was a police roadblock in the policeman stole his car with the computer RAM, and a good the money in the car then triplets. In time he got another car and he is going home from church to his wife home with children. Denali got out of the car, walked inside the house and right behind them was a man with a pistol and he said I want your car and he knows enough about Mexico that you don't resist in any way they'll shoot you spot like that, as we said, would you please allow me to get the children's things out of the car, which they did and then drove off with these car so you know, just a short time to card is stolen, and this is a normal thing and of what is happening. I know I was talking to pastor. Maybe I I I really respect his son, who works in El Salvador. I've been through Salvador now for probably forty two years ago, most every year and I was there in January, Guatemala, Salvadoran, Honduras, and I just appalled at the violence. I lived for four years in Guatemala and the violence was coming. It was a muting wellsite your house after ten o'clock at night because killings, robberies, but since that time, it is so much worse. It is so up and increase the robbery and the violence, gangs controlling large sections of cities and a few don't pay them. They call it protection, but if you don't pay them protection. Your life is gone and is gone and there is no mercy whatsoever, and so you know one when I travel to these countries is good to know that people are praying. So I stand before you this morning asking you pray especially for your pastor son and not only them but of the missionaries who work in those areas myself because his violence around every corner, but I put I appreciate the goodness of God loud music. Go and share and I have us a short DVD because I was a basically explains the ministry that I do mostly teaching pastors and leaders, Bible schools and numbers show that is, there were countries of the world. I've been a lot more countries is on the pencil and then the zone. The DVD, but it'll give you some pictures and and faces of people that you might be able to identify some of the peoples of the world and you know, just one, someone thought that I'll be with you before we look at that in three weeks. I'm leaving for Kenya and Rwanda. I don't know. Probably some of you might know others might not. But twelve years ago in the country were Wanda, there was a massacre between the two main drives in that country. The Hutu and the glitzy and they claimed that in the hundred days, they slaughter a million people on it is just incredible. Can you imagine a million people being cut. The piece of machetes shot down in cold blood, but what I wanted to say was when this was going on many the people fled insights into into the churches hoping that you know they would be safe. But the people writing behind them, and literally hacked and the death inside the churches and a friend of mine are of your brother Jim Smith. He's goes with more muscle. Most every year are Eugene Smith. This is the Eugene Smith. He was there two years ago and told me that some of these churches on purpose. They left them just the way it happened and you won't even win the non- you my sambar, a morbid, but I'm on my, I'm really looking forward to go there to see this is the help, help me, even appreciate more the freedom we have a worship the Lord but in some of these churches. The bones are still there. The skeletons of their when they were actually killed never clean them up and you know, it just makes us we should make us appreciate the goodness of the Lord, hear our own country or things compared to other places are going quite well, so I want to put this wishes DVD and then now look into the word of God with you. So if you could just begin that please truly the world 's and harvest time, and I thank God for the privilege of having particles and I want to share with you this morning. Some words from the Scriptures. Most of the words of Jesus, but you know sometimes they tell us when you pick up a book and you want to know about the book, you go to the last chapter and asked what I would like to do to begin what I want to share with you this morning. If you have your Bibles elect three two versus out of the invisible book of Revelation. First of all, beginning in chapter five of starting in verse nine, Revelation, chapter five verse nine it says and they sung a new song, saying, thou are worthy to take the book to open the seals thereof, for thou wast slain, and has redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and this is especially what I want us to pay attention to in the light of the message it says has redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and every tongue, and every people, and every nation has made us unto our God kings and priests, and we shall reign on the years know sometimes of people asked me why I keep on traveling around the world. This year I'm going to be is like all the other years is your moment been a country 's next years already start and fell off, but some people ask why do you do this in mind, this is my prayer among many others, but we looking at this. This verse that around the throne for people from every kindred Tongan people and nation. I've asked the Lord, Lord, allow me to have a part in maybe just having that the benefit of somehow the reward of having someone around that throne may be from China. From the Amazon jungle Africa USA wormer might be, but this is my heart 's cry that is a scene around the throne. It's going to be from every people of the year. Every nation, every tongue, every drive and it also says in chapter seven of Revelation beginning in verse nine. After this I beheld in lieu of a great multitude, says which no man could number, can you imagine that no man can number it all in our country talk about the debt now up into the trillions. But this is the only trillions is Joe's were we don't have numbers and it says there was a great multitude which no man could number, of all nations of the process again of all nations and all kindreds, and all people in all tongues, stood before the throne and before the Lamb with white robes, palms in their hands and they cried with a loud voice, saying, salvation for God. We says upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. So this is the end of the book where interview all culminated by every Tom people from all nations of the world worshiping our Lord Jesus Christ, and rejoicing in the infant and the joys of glory in heaven and you know when the probably most well-known verses of the Scripture. John three sixteen for God so loved the world, not only us aren't reason for that he loved us. Are we thankful that he love us this morning that he reached out, no one can say your thankful you're a man, you are thankful to the Lord reached out to you in Windber, or wherever you met the Lord Jesus Christ, because we were part of God 's world. God so loved that world that he gave his only begotten son, that in him we would be sitting here today worshiping and when God calls us home will be part of that group of people that make up all his describes Aaron the book of Revelation, and I find it very interesting. You know the for God so loved the world that he gave his only son God had one son, and he made that son of missionary and I think that you speak at law of our God speak a lot of our Jesus Christ, that he abandoned the glories of heaven. He abandoned the glories of heaven for you and I need left all of that for you and I that we might rejoice because he wants us to be in that number around the throne of God worshiping the Lord along with so many other peoples of the world and I find it interesting before Jesus left this world and went back to old ways that what he San Avenue I believe is very very important because all the writers of the Gospels are recorded. The very last words of Jesus. Now if you knew you were dying horribly, but basically not dying in the case of Jesus because he knew he was dying and he already had died on the cross and was resurrected and spent forty days on the earth of speaking to different ones. His disciples and others all, but when he knew he was ready to leave this earth and to return to the father waiting the day when he would return again to take his people back with him. I would say probably what might be some of the most important words that one could ever speak if you know you are leaving and being your last time with them. I think you probably choose your very reverse of your words very, very well and they would have great substance that would have great purpose that you would want to restricted those remaining behind, and in the end, and the four Gospels, the four writers of the Gospels recorded these very last words of Jesus and I want to look at them with you very briefly, because it has a lot to do with the book of revelations is versus that I read in the book of Revelation and the first of will look at John chapter twenty four. Read verse twenty one and twenty two and Jesus is speaking to his disciples is about ready to leave, going back to the father, and he says in John chapter twenty be an inverse twenty one then said Jesus to the and peace be unto you know, this is what he said, as my father has sent me, even so send I you know you could say whether some of this for that. As I listened this for the twelve apostles are the apostles. But actually this is a word for all of us as Jesus was leaving, he sent the message to his disciples would walk with him for three and a half years as the father sent me, I left all my glory. Either all the worship and in and in the heaven with the Angels and you can imagine on what we really can't imagine the glories of heaven, the splendor what it might be to be in the very presence of God the father and of the worship in the Angels. But Jesus left all of that, according to the father 's wishes to send the Lord Jesus for God so loved the world that he gave his second and now Jesus is leaving, and he says to his disciples, and we should not only think of those eleven, but we should think of us as well if we call ourselves a disciple of the Lord Jesus as as the father has sent me, even so send I you and this was a very forceful work that Jesus was giving the disciples as is and what he has said this, he breathed on them and said unto them, receive ye the Holy Ghost. Now this is what they receive what you and I would call salvation in this particular course of John. They were what we would call today, born again, he received upon them, and he said, receive ye the Holy Ghost. Now it was not overdone or read about in the book of acts is a little bit after this because in the book of acts they receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost. But here they were, are being born again, just like you and I met the Lord Jesus, the process of being born again, and he tells his disciples that they are being sent just as a father sent him to this world. Now if we would look at them of the gospel of Mark Mark records this because as I said these words are recorded by in the four Gospels, and also in in the book of acts, but in Mark chapter sixteen of Mark writes like Jesus was saying here about what were talking about here. Mark chapter sixteen, beginning at adverse fifteen. Any sentence of them go now I want to notice this work go. Jesus says as a father sent me, he had to go from heaven. He had to go from eternity to you and I to winter, Pennsylvania. He had to go to his goal, and look what he says into all into all the world into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. Go to all the world and preach the gospel to every creature one Matthew records. This is all the same title is all happening at the same time what Jesus say in Matthew records it in this way. Matthew chapter twenty eight, beginning at verse verse eighteen. Matthews writes it this way. Matthew twenty eight, verse eighteen, Jesus came and spake him that I'm saying all powers given to me in heaven your ad here again, Matthew brings it out go, go, you see the gospel begins with go and if the gospel is going to go to all the world, then there must be foregoing, there must be this way around it. And so Jesus says: he therefore and teach all nations. Now Mark said go into all the world and preach Matthew said: teach all nations, and he's breaking it down like you find in the book of Revelation that the tongs dimensions of that all the tongues of tribes and nations of the people. So Mark is a breaking and breaking it down. We could sail for God so loved the world, go into all the world, but then Mark says go and teach all nations, which means the tribes of the different tribes of the earth, you know, and there are so many around the world. You go to Ghana forty seven different dialects. I was just talking to the man the other day from Ethiopia, and I forgot the exact number, but either he says something like ninety some dialects in his country. So you see how many people and you multiply that around the world. All the different countries around the world China and all these other places. How many different peoples. They have so Mark Raikes is down go and teach all nations, and this is a command that Jesus gave to us. Now if we take this to note what Luke said about this in Luke chapter twenty four, Luke mentions another thought. It's all put together a solid, the same context is all happening at the same time Jesus is just about ready to leave his last words of wonder Soma records what Jesus is saying in the twenty four, beginning in verse forty three and he took it and many before them. Any set under them. These are the words which I spake unto you while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the law Moses and the prophets and in the Psalms, concerning me, then open then opened he their understanding and they might understand the scriptures, then sent on to him that it is written, and does indeed will price to suffer and to rise and then the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations and see what is Lucas thing here among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem or beginning at Wittenberg, beginning at Johnstown beginning to have recounted it should, as it has, and he says, should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. Then he goes on to say, and ye are witnesses. Witnesses of these things so what is a witnessed someone who has seen has heard as it has had experience if you're saying this morning you've had an experience and your qualified to be aware if you're not saying this morning, you need to get a say in this morning and you can be a weapon, but anyone who is born again, we are witnesses of the power of God change a sinful life and make it a creature that is ready to meet the Lord Jesus in heaven. So Jesus says you are witnesses of these things and be a fault, I send the promise of my father upon you, and tarry in the city, Jerusalem I'm meeting you be in power from on high, so we says it begins in Jerusalem, and then it goes out from there. Now, in the book of acts chapter one. This is all all at the same time, the very last words of Jesus and asked chapter one we find this these words beginning in verse two. In the end, the same was in the beginning good number of the Jones act access until the day in which he was taken up. After that he threw the Holy Ghost had given commandments and I went to notice this were your commandments going to find two times the work Commandments not Commandments of Monterey popular word in our day. No one likes to be commanded. No one likes the receipt of orders, but that's the Bible. Whether we like it or not, you know, we were not a lot of flack against the ten Commandments. No one wants to come under someone giving a commandment, but here the Lord Jesus is giving his commandments, and I'm freshly really do not understand that them of the great commission that was his great commission is a commandment of the Lord Jesus is not if you feel like it's if you get enough gumption around unction or whatever you get, but it's a commandment to fulfill the great commission and so it says here, and whom he also showed himself on those, using a backup that was after I threw the Holy Ghost, and given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen to whom also he showed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God stories now winding up the forty days and being assembled together with them, commanded them to hear your finest word again commanded them, commanded them. They shall not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the father with Jesse E have heard of me for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. So we already see in John twenty where Jesus received the Holy Ghost. They were born again, but now he's saying in a few days I want to send the promise of the father, and usually baptized in the Holy Ghost. Neither know where you are you stand this morning, but if you're born again and not baptize the Holy Ghost usually baptized the Holy Ghost because as part of God 's plan for our lives. It truly, we might be witnesses. Now, as this continues on when they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel now she needs disciples were just like many of us. They were so long down in natural things. They were so long down everyday life that they really weren't hearing what Jesus would say even though Jesus talking for three and a half years that his kingdom was not of this world and that his kingdom was another kingdom. They never could get it really inside their hearts intervene in their minds, because right now Jesus is crucified is been resurrected almost ready to leave and these disciples are worried about the kingdom to go to see they were under the Roman Empire. Great persecution by the Roman Empire, and they were being treated in a very terrible way and they wanted freedom they wanted Jesus to come set up his kingdom. That's why the disciples when they walk within one Lucent one on the right hand on the left hand because they wanted on the oppositional Florida State and they would rule over the Romans because they would want to be under Christ's kingdom, but this was a seminar in our hearts and minds. After all this time and I think it takes a lot for us to anything ourselves from God himself to entertain ourselves all me myself and I went to ourselves and everything. The ball was about our own kingdom here in this world, and when they said that to Jesus. Jesus is the first seventy seven and then it is not you, he rebukes them is not for you to know the times of the seasons which the father put in his own power, but you shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you and you shall be witnesses. Those using it in this is the very same thing that we must say all the time you shall be witnesses unto me, any mentions for places both in Jerusalem, and all of Judea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost parts of the earth, and when he has spoken these things, while he be dead, behold, he was taken up in a cloud received him out of their sight, and while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, which also said he met of Galilee, why stand you gazing up into heaven. This same Jesus, which is taken up from you and they haven't, so, so, in like manner as you have seen him go into heaven. So the very same way. Jesus was taken up, was caught up, left the disciples behind the sole purpose that they would be witnesses. Beginning in Windber and then in Cambria County and then going out. Maybe the Lancaster County, and then be on that to the regions of the world. This is the whole purpose that you might be witnesses and he says that that the angel said the same way that Jesus left the same way, you'll come to so he commanded them. This is the commandment of the Lord, and that they would be witnesses. Now I think I think probably this is a little bit off of my subject, but not really. Not but you know next time they were not meant to be here next Sunday, the world to be over. According to some people that are saying May twenty first is the end of the world agreed earthquake is going to get the world, but were going to be here next Sunday at Manas and false prophet, but I know light of what I'm saying is this. If you go to Matthew chapter twenty four of verse fourteen. Jesus said that he will not return until all the world has had the time to receive the gospel, and the witnesses. I went out into all the world and preach the gospel in Matthew chapter twenty four of verse fourteen. The Scripture says the end of that passage worries talking about the end times. Verse fourteen and this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness area to come back to that word witness is also learn and looking at this gospel should be preached in all the world member of what we looking at an eighties versus using the heart of God. The heart of Jesus is all of the world and he wants that could be placed within our hearts. He was sent to be within us that we would be world Christians, not worldly Christians but world Christians, we would have eyes to look out to the world and see that as part of the great commission that we are commanded is not just the wish if you so desire, but your command to be part of any says it begins in Jerusalem, which begins in with Pennsylvania and then it begins to spread out of into other as as as as as as as verse fourteen says in this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations brings you again all nations, all people 's outcomes. All tribes and then shall the income is not coming next. A coming next on Saturday because as I happened, but I want to get back to whatever say recently met effective like Todd in four different Bible schools in Central America in January and I was teaching the life of Christ, and to me. A lot of things were made earlier fresh in a new and open my eyes to some things about the Lord Jesus, as I was teaching the life of Christ and of you know, Jesus said right here in the book of acts. These are usually witnesses in Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria, and unto the other most parts of the world. But Jesus was not like probably a lot of us that we don't practice what we preach. Jesus practiced everything he preached, and when he said he should be witnesses in Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost parts of the world, he get that the actually live that out when we consider the world. We must understand the world and Jesus say this, obviously, Jesus preached in Jerusalem. The management Jerusalem and enjoy the which was the surrounding parts around Jerusalem suburb part of Israel as obvious when you look in the Scriptures. He was in that that part of his world through the but then he went to Samaria don't you have a famous awareness American woman and other parts of, nor of northern Samaria. So, Jesus reached out. He began in Jerusalem. He went out to enjoy the. Anyone out to Samaria, and then he went to Capernaum, Capernaum was in Galilee now Capernaum was Galilee was the north of Samaria, which we did, we would would be better than that of the northern part of Israel today and they say is you study the Scriptures probably sixty or maybe four more percent of Christ's ministry and America's of the place in the life of Jesus. The place in Galilee around Capernaum, so, so I showing that was where the heart of Jesus was yes. The minister you want to say a minister Ben Wittenberg. Yes, the Minister McHenry County and then he went on, you know, say to the Lancaster wherever that might be. But then after that he went even beyond that because the Bible talks about Jesus ministering entire inside is high recited in this modern-day Lebanon. So Jesus went into another country he left the borders of Israel and went more into North and the modern Lebanon. He ministered and in Caesarea, David which is modern-day Syria and then he ministered in Gadara and Decapolis, which is modern-day Jordan. So Jesus live everything. It breaks it was part of his life and and and as I said at least sixty percent or more was spent outside of Jerusalem. So what what all this shows that there is a part to play in Jerusalem. We can not just everything in Jerusalem, but we must go as Jesus is out further into Cambria County, Judea and have a ministry have a partner gone beyond that and eventually under the outermost parts of the world. Now I'm whatever just read a little bit here, a couple thoughts from a man that I do read read read recently was writing an article about the gospel and lighted one of sharing here this morning. The gospel makes a total difference in a man's life from within and without, there must be that difference and I think probably one of the great needs of our day-to-day. I'm not wearing my finger and your people here, but the great knees as you look around everywhere that there is a lot of the gospel, but it seems that a lot of Christians are not being witnesses are not living the life and not really making and not standing out as as what Jesus underlies it seems like many Christians are almost like part of the world today that the early Christians did not have their own program or policy to promote. They had a living Lord, to proclaim their attitude was in every heart without price was a mission field and every Christian was a missionary. I thought that was very good to me. Read that again. Their attitude was every far without Christ was a mission field and every Christian was a missionary. We had a bad habit of blowing their hearts, and I go wonderfully. They had awoken their hearts and a goal in their feet. You see, it's impossible of what Jesus commanded us to not put feet, what we believe we possess the beginning of the gospel to go and what were their hearts and they had I know in their freedoms. There was nothing casual nonchalant about the early Saints. They turned the world upside down.
