Teenager collapses in idol shop and receives Yeshua! | RETURN to your love for reaching the lost

Causes this whole scene in the mall. Security comes running in all these things. He's laying on the ground, his body is, like, on fire. He's profusely, like, sweating. And I was like, brother, it's about to give your life to the gospel. Like, turn from your sin and give everything. And he's like, yes, what do I need to do?

Let's have a conversation that goes straight to the heart of Yeshua. Many of you love the Father's commandments, and that is beautiful. Tonight, we want to remember all of Christ's commandments, especially his call to disciple, baptize, and bring the saving gospel to this lost and dying world. If we quote God, whereby he said, if you love me, keep my commandments, then we must walk in the greatest commandments to love. And one of the greatest ways that we can love our neighbor is by proclaiming the greatest love that's ever born been accomplished. The Messiah dying on a cross and redeeming sinners like you and me. That was uncomfortable, to say the least, for him. And yet he calls us likewise to die and realize that the kingdom of our God is bigger than our comfort zone, and it's time for us to break out of it.

Tyler. Thank you, brother. I'm so excited to get into this, guys. Tyler has been used so powerfully by the Father. He's been telling me some of his stories, and I've seen the things the Lord's been doing in his life. Tyler, many people are desiring to lead people to Yeshua. They're hungry to proclaim the gospel, but they may not know where to start. I want us to chat about that a bit tonight. Start off by just sharing with us just some of what's been happening and what you've been seeing.

Yeah, absolutely. Hey, Petey, thank you so much for having me on here. And it's an honor to be able to come and share on a platform like this that is. That's reaching many people. And. And, you know, you're on here. You're watching this, and you're on here because you're hungry for the gospel and you're hungry for the Lamb of God. And so it's. It's. We're living in unbelievable times and times that I believe that, you know, the disciples dreamed of. The disciples wanted to be in these times that we're living in, and there's such a. Yeah, like a stockpile of fish that's ready to be harvested in America and in the world. And we're just seeing that. We're seeing that all over as, as we travel, God's really been plowing in areas and regions in different countries. Even just this year, been in Israel and Belize and all over the United States. But right now, locally, we've been really plowing the ground in our local area of Missouri and just seeing a harvest come in, young people, hungry. And as a matter of fact, actually tomorrow, tomorrow afternoon, I'm preaching the gospel and in a, in a local high school and we're, we're being able to get into high schools and air the gospel because there's, there's a generation, there's a people that are hungry. And I'll share a quick testimony. Last week, actually, I shared and preached at something we call a Jesus night in our area that we put on. It's in a barn. God's just really been moving. And there was a gentleman that came and I shared a message and, and I actually wasn't even really feeling it. I was like, man, I wonder God if you're going to actually do something. And I wasn't honestly even giving everything I had. And I, and I shared the gospel and I did altarcon. I wasn't thinking anybody was gonna, you know, move. And, and God spoke. He was like, hey, are you doing this or am I doing this? And sure enough, people came forward. Well, there was this gentleman that came forward and he was a Muslim man, showed up in the barn believing in Islam, been walking in it for years, gives his life to Yeshua, fully surrenders. He says, like, I've never cried this like this much in years. He was locked up in prison for six years. And that's where he got indoctrinated by, is in prison. He comes there and gives his full life, gets set free and, and praise God and like, been keeping in contact with him. But these testimonies are powerful because there's people walking all around us and among us and, and they're caught up in different things, but they're literally looking for the truth. And the truth is the Lamb of God, like, literally that is the real truth. You know, it's like we can go searching for revelations, think we're going to find the next, you know, hidden code revelation somewhere. But no, we have the greatest revelation this world's ever seen, will ever see. And it is, it is the gospel of Yeshua. And so it's just powerful seeing young people. And we do discipleship nights and having this, this last Monday night we did discipleship night and over 50 people showing up in house and in young people from college campuses to high Schools and just surrendering their life and. And they're literally just being touched by the Holy Spirit. And God's just been moving in powerful ways. But it just really builds my faith and courage because we're living in, you know, in crazy times in America and in the world, and there's no greater time than now for the gospel to go forth.

I love what you shared, Tyler, because it highlights a very real truth that I think a lot of people wrestle with. You know, when you sit there and you're saying to yourself and to the Lord, right, Father, I don't know. You know, I'm not feeling it right? And I can connect with that. You know, there's been times where I'm like, I'm here, everything's ready. But I just. I'm not. I feel like I'm not here. I'm not ready. I'm not. Is this going to work through me? Right? Because I am the question. I am the problem, you know, And I recognize that at times I am weak. And yet that is exactly when we see the Lord move so powerfully. And so I want to encourage anyone, like, listening to this right now, right? This is not about me or Tyler or anyone. This is about the Holy Spirit. And I think that when we. Tyler, I think, you know this, you realize, right? When. When we just speak the words of truth, that is specifically NAAM talking about the gospel of salvation, how one is saved, the Holy Spirit just comes and he moves powerfully upon hearts. It's. You know, sometimes we get into, okay, I need to convince the person, I need to debate the person, I need to. And, okay, I get it, right? There's a place for intellectual stimulation, arguments and things, but there is power. And the power of the gospel is what's truly setting a heart free to receive that gospel is. Is that. Am I right here? Is I like what you've seen?

Yeah, no, absolutely. Actually, it reminds me of a testimony happened several months ago in Dallas. I was in Dallas and shared it like a Gen Z conference and ended up taking them all to the mall and sharing the gospel. And a couple of them were with me, and I saw these three brothers standing. They were looking actually at, like, some demonic figures and super powers and different things. And I went up to him and I was just like, hey, are you guys thinking, like, there's power in this? And they were like, yeah. And they're all. There are three brothers. Like, oldest was like, 18, 16 and, like, 12. And I said, as I start sharing actually the power of God and everything, and as I'm sharing, I start preaching the gospel to them. The 18 year old, he starts stumbling backwards and like, like basically going unconscious and collapses into these, this booth of idols. This mall is packed with around 10,000 plus people. Causes this whole scene in the mall security comes running in, all these things. He's laying on the ground, his body is like on fire. He's profusely like sweating, his skin's turning red. I'm like, bro, have you ever had this happen before? He's like, no. Medicines come in and they're, you know, checking him and what's going on? Like everything's normal. Like, what's going on here? They couldn't figure out. They're like, did you eat anything? Like, no, I haven't eaten anything. Have you been drinking water? You have been drinking water? Like, everything was normal. He's never had a medical history, anything. And, and I knew I was like, I was like, God, like, God's got his attention, the power of God. And he, the medical team's finished, everything's good. And he literally, after they all left, he looked at me, he's like, tell me more, please. What do I, what must I do? And I was like, brother, it's about to give your life to the gospel. Like, turn from your sin and give everything. And he's like, yes, what do I need to do? And so it was just powerful because the power of God showed up in a public place in the mall and got this young man's attention and literally like he was on, literally on fire and fully surrendered. And there was a, there's a beautiful thing because I think it's very easy to go out and we can sometimes get into the, the form of just preaching a formula gospel when really like, it's encounters that change people's lives. It's when something like, we're, we're spiritual beings. We're not beings that are meant to be formalized. And like, we're actually spiritual beings and we want a spiritual encounter. And so that really like changed even how I go on to do evangelism this year of seeing that and believing like man, God. You can show up in a Starbucks coffee shop, I know that might be a bad place, but like, or a mall or a marketplace or your job. And he can show up. It doesn't have to be a revival service or a home Bible study group. He can go up in these public places and really encounter any generation. And so it was a powerful testimony because just like you were saying, pd, it's the Holy Spirit and It's the power of God that is wanting to be released through us, and it's not us. If we could get ourselves out of the way and say, God, here I am. Put me on as a glove and use me. And. And sometimes it's so hard to do that. I've been doing this thousands of times, and there's times where I'm like, I still want, like, okay, Tyler, get out of the way. Like, get out of the way. Allow God to use you.

And Tyler, what you're talking about right now is exactly the description of Yeshua's ministry and why it was so radically different. Right? It wasn't just about having a church service and a formula. Right. And a structure. And I'm not against structure. Right. None of us are. But his ministry was powerful. He was out there in the crowds and in the midst of the people. Of course, he was in the synagogues, too. But when you look at his testimonies of what was written about him, most of it is occurring out there. And we are seeing radical things like what you just described. We're seeing. And the demons came out with a loud cry out of the person that Yeshua is causing the demons out of, or that this man is blind. And Yeshua takes spit, puts it on his eyes, and his eyes are opened, right? There's all of these moments that really catch the world around them's attention and Jerusalem's attention. And ultimately he's crucified for it. And ultimately it leads to the very thing that would bring this salvation that we now proclaim to the world. And we proclaim it in the same way that he did. That's the key, right? Because I think there's. Like you said, there's plans. We have many plans. And plans can be good. But let's look at what Yeshua's plan was. His plan was, what does my father want me to do today? And he told his disciples, hey, we're going to go this way, we're going to go that way. And they go on the way, and they meet someone, and they go on the way and they meet. He meets a Samaritan woman at a well. He meets an adulterous woman about to get stoned. He meets a blind man here at the temple. He meets a layman at the Pool of Siloam. He's in the world. And that's exactly what he then calls his disciples to do. Tyler, I just want to read this for everyone, just to remind everyone of the scriptures. Mark 16:15 says this. Yeshua says, go into the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe in my name. They will cast out demons, speak in new tongues, they will pick up serpents with their hands, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them. They will lay their hands on the sick and they will recover. And so he's talking about these signs that accompany the proclamation of the gospel, all coming by the Spirit. And this is my favourite part. So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up to heaven, sat at the right hand of God, and, and they went out and preached everywhere while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by accompanying signs. This is the famous last words of Yeshua before he ascends. And so if he comes back, what is his famous first words going to be? You know, I can't say for sure, but I wouldn't be shocked if it's a reminder of what he told us last. Yeah, tell me a little bit about when you speak with people like these encounters we're talking about right now. How do we speak with someone in a way that demonstrates the love of God and captures their heart for the Father, you know, because, you know, a lot of people can think, okay, I have the gospel, I know what the gospel is. I'm going to walk up to someone, I'm going to tell them, okay, Jesus died for you. Okay, but you know how, walk me a bit through that. How do we do that?

Yeah, I'll just say that too. Like, I mean, sometimes it does work that way, but I think really, it's, it's, it's really honestly like catching the heart of the father for the lost. And you look at the prodigal, you know, son and his father and how he was longing for him. And so when we catch the heart of the father for the prodigal sons and daughters in the world, it changes everything. And it's not once again coming and sharing a formula. Yes, there's power in the gospel and sharing it, but when people, I feel like too, in the time that we're living in, people want real, authentic. They just don't want you to come up with a manual and be like that, you know, shout out, you know, like just reading something. And it's like when they feel that, man, you love me and you love somebody and he's changed your life. And so one of the powerful things is your testimony. You know, the Bible says they overcame by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony. And so when we rely on the Holy Spirit, when we rely on the blood of the Lamb and then we use the testimony, what God has done in our life, it sparks interest. I've been on airplanes and we open air, share the gospel in an airplane. And people. Yeah, you get some people that are like, I don't like that what it. Push it back. But then there's people that are crying and they're encountering the Lord on an airplane and God's moving because there's power in our testimony. And it's not a testimony. You know, I might say, I'm gonna say this and might step on some toes is not. And I'm not talking testimony of when you found the Book of Enoch or a testimony when you found some theological. It's a testimony when we found the encounter. And when he set us free from our sin, when we encountered the living God and, and. And shifted us, it broke generational curses. Like, that's the testimony I'm talking about. And I see that today, you know, and a lot of times and, and growing and being in different churches and different things. And people want to go out and preach their theology and preach, you know, what they think is right. That's not, that's not what the disciples did. And that's not what he even tells us to do. You know, you just read the Great Commission. It's like to go and preach the good news, baptizing them. We're not baptizing them to theology. We're baptizing them in. To the. To Yeshua, to the Lamb. And so I think it's important when we go out is just carrying the heart and man friends, I would highly, you know, pray like it fast. Ask the Holy Spirit lead you. You know, you never saw Yeshua. Yeshua never went out and just shared the gospel with every single person. He didn't go lay hands on the second. Every single. You know, he was led by the Spirit when he went out and God opened up divine appointments for them to reach. And so sometimes you can go out as a machine gun, you know, and move it around and get so disappointed like, oh, this doesn't work. That like, no focus in. Spend time in the secret place, ask the Lord and then go out with a heart and looking for the ones that God opens up and then share the good news. Share what God's done your life, man. I know five years ago, once I was a sinner once I was struggling with depression and suicide and I was Addicted to this. But man, I met this man and I prayed and he came into my life and he set me free. And I've never touched that drug again. I've never looked at that pornography again, whatever it may be. Your testimony is unique because it's supposed to be preached in that way. Praise God that we all don't look the same. We all don't come from the same cloth, that he's cut us differently because there's power in every one of us sharing as we go out.

There's a. You know, when we think about, you know, what you said earlier, just now, you talked about going out like a machine gun, talking to everyone, right? And so I want to share. I want to share with everyone who's, like, wondering, you know, okay, so how do I find the person? And what if I don't find the right person? You know, just some practical. Like, what I've seen is in the beginning, like, what Tyler said is 100% true. But don't let that stop you. Don't be like, oh, well, I haven't heard from God about who I should speak to, so I'm just not. That becomes our excuse, right? Rather, go out in faith and in trust and ask and pray. Lord, lead me to the right person. And don't wait for an audible voice because you'll be waiting for a while. He may speak like that to you, but to most of us, that's not. So go out, trust on him, lean on him, and then when you are in those encounters, speak to a person and pray that the Lord leads you and see, is this a person of peace? Is this a person that has a peaceful, open heart to what you are saying? I remember years ago, I was discipling a man, and he was coming with me out, and we went to a mall and we were praying for people. And. And I remember, you know, he went kind of with some other friends this way. I went that way. And I've gone through, like, a few people praying for people. We were there for like, two hours or whatever. And when I came to him back at the end, he was still with the same guy from the beginning to the end. And he was demotivated. He was sad because he said that this guy just. There was just no breakthrough. This guy was just hostile. It was just. And the Holy Spirit spoke to me something that day, and he said, don't water rocks, right? Like, we have to look for the person of peace because that's the person that the Lord has set aside for us. And one last thing Is what you also said, Tyler, I loved is. You know, you talked about how to keeping the gospel simple. You talked about how we should be speaking to people, not with our, you know, our special corner of our denominations, theology. And that's our presentation of the gospel. You see, we make our thing, our passion, a part of God, God's theology, the study of God. Right. That's important. But if we make that the gospel, we've replaced the gospel. The gospel is simple. It's always what it's been and it doesn't change depending on where you're from. It's always the same message. And then when people come in through the power of the Spirit, from there on, we teach them all that the Lord has commanded us, beginning with love, the greatest commandments. Any. Anything you want to add to that, Tyler? Any additional thoughts on. On sharing with people?

Yeah, you know, I was thinking of, I think you mentioned the woman at the well. I was going to bring that up real quick because it's so powerful because here Yeshua shows up on the scene and has words of knowledge, you know, about the woman at the well, and she gets set free. And here, you know, she. Many people you'd want to like, go and follow Yeshua, but, you know, he's like, no, go back and share, right? And she goes back and sharing. This might, actually might set some of you free, even for you ladies. Like, you're like, you might be in a place where like, no women can't share the gospel. Well, the woman at the well went back and shared in her village and hundreds, you know, maybe thousands showed up to hear, to hear from Yeshua. And so, but it took as a word of knowledge that Yeshua walked in. And, and I think, you know, as we go out, if we stay closely, if we're hearing our Father, whether it's washing dishes, doing construction, you know, maybe you work on a computer or maybe you're in a public school or wherever you're at. But when we stay connected to the Father and hearing him, he begins to build this place where you receive words of knowledge. And when you're out and about, you're like, you know, tap on, you hey, go talk to that person and share this word. And when we step out in faith, faith is things that we don't see, that we don't have hold of. And when we step out and believe, he opens these doors. And you got the woman at the well. And she, her testimony changed hundreds of lives, maybe thousands of lives, because she was. Not only did she get encountered, she Gave her life. And then she went forward. She's like, this man knew everything about me. Like, you know, he read my mail. And she goes down, shares. And it brought revival to a city. And so I think it's so powerful because, you know, we can even go look at the demoniac man when Yeshua shows up on the shoreline and, you know, actually, and she, he shows up, sets this demoniac man free. This demoniac man's like, hey, take me with you, get me in the boat. And he's like, no, go to your village and share what just happened to you. He goes and shares his testimony of what just happened to his life. Well, so many people saw him and knew him because he was a demoniac and lived in caves and these crazy places. And lo and behold, if you read a couple chapters later, the feeding of the 4000 happened because of that testimony of the demoniac man. And it happened in a city that actually was opposing Yeshua coming in there. And they were against Yeshua coming in there. And because of demonic man's testimony, it opened the door to thousands coming to hear what Yeshua had to share. And so there's power and even reaching the one so many times, like, oh, I don't have the platform, or I don't have the YouTube channel, I don't have the mic. It's like, no, Yeshua didn't have a mic. He didn't have a stage and platform. He literally went out and he changed the one and that one, you know, represent the thousands. And actually, I'll share this testimony, not my testimony. I just heard this recently though, of a tent revival. Can't remember the man that was preaching in the early 1900s, I believe, and he was preaching and the tent was packed. These two young men, I think they were around 14, 15 years old, were walking by and they were interested, but they saw that there wasn't a seat. So they actually began to walk away. And one of the ushers was like, chased him down and said, no, no, no, come here, we have a space for you, we have a place for you. And he brought them back in. That night, those two young men went to the altar and gave their life. One of those young men was Billy Graham and the other one was one that helped him put on the crusades. All across, everywhere they went, and it was like these two young men showed up and ran meeting it. Was it the preacher that did this? No, it was this no name usher who was able to grab them and pull them in and so don't feel like, oh, Maybe I'm not a. I'm not one of the fivefold, or I'm not a minister or, you know, it's these places where God uses the nameless, the faceless, the people that just want to be used. Simply his hands and feet that change life. And here, this Usher changes this young man named Billy Graham, who ended up going and sharing the gospel with millions in the future.

Right? I love that brother. That reminds me of Philip, right? Because. And this is going to go back really well with the Samaritan women at the. Well, you know, Philip, it's described in the book of Acts, how the apostles, they're the ones who are saying, we are busy teaching and we need someone to help us, to help serve the widows and the orphans and wait tables, basically. And they're basically saying, you know, we're busy, which they are. They're the leaders, right? And so Philip is one who's chosen among others, and that's where we meet him. And then later we see Philip is in Samaria. But hold up, Samaria. Samaria is the place where the Samaritan woman is from. The woman you just mentioned, Tyler, who was at the well of Yeshua. He told her all the things about her that he was not supposed to know. She went back, told her people, the Samaritans. And so Philip, a no name guy who's a servant, who's not a leader of the church, not a minister in the beginning at least, right? And then he makes his way to Samaria. We read about him casting out devils, healing the sick, preparing the way, baptizing people, and the lame is healed. I mean, come on, these are things many of us dream of. And then we think, oh, but I'm not that guy. I'm not this guy. I'm not Peter. Right? We look at the Bible as a bedtime story like we did when we were children. Wow, that's a cool story. Instead of recognizing no, it is there to inspire us because we can and we will see the very same things. That's his promise. He said, you will see the things I have done and greater things than these, because I am going to. To the Father Tyler. I remember just for anyone who's wondering about planting seeds and the impact of that. One day I was in a mall and I remember speaking to a man, just asking him. He was sitting at a bench, asking him, hey, can I talk to you about Jesus for a second? And he just freaked out at me and he's just like, hey, why are you asking me this? He's Kind of like irritated, and I'm not even sure what's going on. And then he says to me, you're the third person to walk up to me this day. Just pray for me. And so, you know, this man who had to reject two people before me comes to me and I come to him and suddenly his heart is open. So the two people before me, their hearts failed them. Maybe, maybe they scratched their head. Maybe they said to God, lord, it's not working. I don't know, maybe that, maybe not. But sometimes that's how we are. But yet the Lord is working even when we don't know it. So, yeah, anyone who's unsure, just go out, just do it. Be his hands and feet.

Yeah. And you know, actually in Acts 4:13, I was going to read this, but it says that the members of the council were amazed when they saw the boldness of Peter and John. For they could see that they were ordinary men with no special training in the Scriptures. So it's not about having this special training, special whatever. They were just bold. They just believed in, in the Lamb of God. And we're like, we're going to do this. And, and that's literally the answer when it comes to evangelism. It's not like you need some special theological training. You need to go to Bible school or have, you know, know it in Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic. It's, it's man, do you believe it? And you know, I think the thing too is it really, and it's hit me over the years, growing up in a Bible believing home, my whole life was, I got to the point just, you know, a few years ago was, do I really believe the good news? You know, if you had the cure to cancer and you, and no matter who you touched, cured, wouldn't you want to go tell every cancerous person that you have it? And yet, do we really believe we have the good news? And this is the greatest news ever, the world has ever seen, will ever see, and we have it. And then sometimes I'm like, do I, do we really even believe it? And because if we, when we really believe it, it brings boldness and it brings this, this fire that you want to go and share it with everybody. And but it comes to this point is like, do you have faith? Are you truly believing in Jesus? Have you encountered Jesus? You know, when you, when you have truly encountered you, when you've seen him, you know you're going to want to go and you think of Isaiah, you know, Isaiah 6, like, it's beholding The Lord beholding the Lamb, then it's like being transformed. And then the next step, after you've been being beholden, transformed by him, you were sent out. It says, and Isaiah is like, send me, here I am. Where shall I go? You know, and so it's like that, that's the same call today is when we, when we truly behold him. And I'm not talking about beholding a doctrine, a denomination, talking about beholding the Lamb, Jesus, Yeshua. And when we behold him, when we gaze upon him, and when we allow him to come and transform form our life and fill us with his power and his boldness. And then the next step is literally like to go out. And so I think of like, even it's convicted me is like, man, here I have the treasure, here I have the good news. I'd be the most selfish person in the world to just keep it to myself. And, and, and you might be asking, well, hey, I'm not an evangelist. It's not about just being an evangelist. It's. We're called to go out and multiply. Like PD was sharing, you know, the Great Commission. It's not called the Great Suggestion, it's called the Great Commission. And it is for every born again believer, son or daughter, to go out. And so when we step into these areas and when we really believe it, it should literally well up inside of us to say, you know what, I need to go share this good news with everyone, with maybe your family members, maybe your neighbor. You know, so many times we're sitting there praying, lord, send me to Africa or send me to Asia. And yet, like, we haven't even talked to our neighbor. You know, it's like our neighbor's unsaved. It's like we're ready to travel across the world to go on a mission trip, which, praise God, I love mission trips and I love missionaries. But yet it's like, no, we're called to steward our Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria, and then he will open the doors to the nations. And so it's like, guys, like, let's just step out, you know, and begin to knock on your neighbor's doors. You know, talk to your, to your co workers, maybe you're in school and college or high school, whatever. And it's like simply just stepping out and just sharing the good news. And I'll just say, do it and watch God show up. Like, he, he doesn't. He's not like, oh, there's my son, daughter down there, man, they're stepping out. I ain't going to show up. No, he shows up when we step out in faith.

Amen, brother. That's so good. I love it. And I would add to that also, sometimes we are, you know, we're always talking about big things, right? We're talking about the end of the world. That's something a lot of people love. This year we had the big Rapture thing. Everyone's talking about. The Rapture is happening this year, right? And so we're looking forward to this greater exodus. We're looking forward to the end of the world where things are going to get really hard. And yet we are, you know, we expect to move in power in those days, but yet in these days, right now, we are afraid. We're too afraid to talk to our neighbor about Jesus. But we think that when someone puts a gun to our head and said, and says, you know, are you going to accept Jesus? Are you going to keep saying Jesus? You know, everyone will say, yeah, I'll keep doing that while we sit in our air conditioned Sunday church or Saturday church or Monday church. But the reality is, is that if you really are bold, bold enough to say, I will say Jesus until you kill me, well then will you say Jesus while you're still living? Will you walk up to someone right now who's not putting a gun to your head, who's not going to kill you? There's no consequence. The worst that can happen is they say, I'm not really interested in that right now. Have a good day. That's the worst. And we're so scared of that. And then we want to talk about how we're so ready for the end of the world. I think we just have to have a reality check and be real with ourselves. That if, if we are ready, then let us prove it by how we live. Let us prove it by what we talk about. Yes, we can talk about theology. I love it. I love the book of Revelation. I want to read some of it right now, but I have to live it. And the Gospel is living and breathing it. Tyler, you said that you asked people, right now, you ask them. It's an important question. You said, have you encountered Yeshua because you need a testimony to share. And, and the other question is, have you encountered him but then lost your first love? Because the church of Ephesus, in the book of Revelation, this is what Yeshua says to Ephesus. I want to just read this. I really feel the Lord wants to say this tonight to him who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks among the seven golden lampstands, he says, I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how you cannot bear with those who are evil. Right? A lot of us are like this. We cannot bear with evil. We want people to turn from evil, but have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not and found them to be false. I know you are enduring patiently and bearing up for my name's sake, and you have not grown weary. But I have this against you that you have abandoned. The love you have at first, you had at first. Remember, therefore, from where you have fallen. Repent, do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place unless you repent. See, Tyler, I think this is something a lot of us can connect with, that. When we met Yeshua, that first encounter, like many of the encounters you just shared, there's passion, there's fire. It's like, oh, my, he just changed my life. He saved me. And there's even this far, they want to tell someone. But then that fire gets put out by whatever. In life, there's many things that can do that. But Yeshua warns that if we do not return to the love we had at first, that he will actually remove the lampstand. They're removing the light. So we are made to be a light. But he's saying, I will remove your ability to shine a light, because that's what a lampstand does. If you do not use what I.

Have given you for what it is.

The gospel to set people free and so they can be taught to walk in holiness as well. I just feel that's something that really is a message for this time, this ageless moment, and for tonight, for anyone who's listening right now, if you're hearing me and you're saying, man, P.D. tyler, I don't know, man. I've just been feeling called in my faith, especially when it comes to the gospel. This message is for you. And this is a wake up call. This is a wake up call to say, hey, let me go out, let me do something. Let me tell someone about the Messiah.

You know, I was thinking of the. The love part you just read in Revelation. It made me think of in 1st Corinthians 13:1. You know, it says that if I could speak all the languages of the earth and of angels, but did not love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging symbol. And it's like, man, you know, you could even put things in there. If I could speak all the theologies or all the denominations or all the languages that Aramaic, Greek or I could speak all these things, but have not love. You know, and as I travel and have been in different churches and different denominations and I see it very common and I see this call, as you were reading this revelation, it's a return to our first love. And, and many of you maybe are watching this and you remember the days when you first fell in love with your spouse and you can remember, man, you were willing to spend that last penny on her or buy her a pretty rose and all these things. And that's the first love that he's trying to draw us back to. And, and I really believe, you know, Yeshua's not coming back for a dead religious bride. He's not coming back for a bride that have not love. He's not coming back for a bride that's not passionate for him. He's coming back, you know, Yeshua's coming back for a bride that's spotless, that's white, that's, that is on fire, that is pure, that is walking in holiness, that is there sharing the good news. That's the bride, he's coming back for it. And so I think it's just so important because we live in unprecedented times and you know, many of you may be watching this and you're in America and you know America's yeah, like there's a genocide on the believers in the world right now, a real genocide. And, and our time might come in America and maybe you're watching, it's another country and you're like, yeah, it's already happening in my country. But there's a real call to, to step into that full love because like Peter Sharon earlier, it might come to the point where you have something to your head and are you willing, is there so much love that you even willing to love that person standing in front of you willing to do that? And, and we see this because, you know, we see the two fastest growing churches in the world right now. It's in Iran and in China and they're under, you know, massive persecution. And you hear these stories of even young girls, I mean I hear stories of young girls in China, 12 years old, leading underground Bible studies. And it's like we don't even let you know the, the 20 year old men, you know, lead a study. Hardly. You know, we're so afraid, oh, you need to go through four years of Bible school or you need to know this, you need to know that, or all these different things. It's like, yep, the two places where God's moving under persecution, persecution might be coming to America soon. Is, is in these places. And young people and women and men and old, you know, older and younger are, are just sharing the kingdom. They're not looking for a platform because they recognize they are the platform for the gospel. Their, Their lives are that platform to go out and share. And so I just want to encourage you, even tonight, you know, as you're, as you're watching this is as Petey was sharing Revelation, man. Spend time in the prayer, in the prayer closet and just say, you know, yeshua, awaken that love in me. Awaken my heart for you and, and deepen that my. My passion for you and, and awaken me to see the loss as friends. People are. People are dying everywhere. People are, you know, committing suicide and overdosing. And yet you have the cure and it's the good news. And, and if we don't get our hearts, you know, set in a place that we can see that and have compassion. And you read Yeshua every time he went to minister, it says many times he was moved to compassion. And sometimes I wonder in America are we even so have such a wall to compassion that we can't even feel compassion. We. For the loss. And, and really it's. It's him that does it. And so it's, It's. I would just encourage, you know, get on your knees. This is a constant thing I do. I. I spent a lot of time just in the prayer and just saying, lord, soften my heart more. You know, move upon my heart. Build the. The compassion in my heart for your children and for the lost and, and for those that are around. And that's what burns on my heart. And I, and we, what we do as a ministry with Jesus places our heart mainly is reaching this younger generation. And we reach. We share the gospel with everybody. But really, because it's like, man, they're committing suicide, and if I could just save one, like, it's worth my life. But yet we're seeing tens and twenties and the hundreds, like, encountering the Lord and getting set free from suicide and addictions and alcoholism and all these things. And, you know, maybe I'll just encourage you. You need to clean your home. You know, clean the altar of your home. And you might be struggling. You might have gotten to the point of compromise in your own life and in your own home, and you've allowed maybe movies in the slip in. Maybe you've slipped into some alcohol, maybe you've slipped into areas of addictions. And you, I'm telling you, got to clean the altar. And there's a time and a season right now to purge the altar. And I was just with my good friend John Diff from Nashville. And if you're in the Nashville area, check out his, his church in Nashville. And we're just talking about, this is like it's time to cleanse our hearts. It's time to really expose the things. And it's so easy to go through the motions and, and check out the box that I've fulfilled God's, you know what I read in the Bible on the outside appearance, but yet on the inside, we're crumbling with fear and unforgiveness and bitterness and hatred. And we're struggling with our spouse and we're having relationship issues with our children. And the only way is allowing the Holy Spirit to wash over you, allowing the blood to cover your life and begin to wash and stepping out. Because I feel like in America, as I travel a lot and share in churches and different places, that a lot of us believers are operating from a spirit of orphan, an orphan spirit. We don't even recognize that we are sons and daughters. And when you really step into sons and daughters, you're not looking to satisfy yourself on the outside. You recognize who you are. And when you really fully recognize who you are and you allow the blood and you allow the Holy Spirit to come and wash you of these areas, maybe it's church or, you know, you might be watching this like, hey, I used to be a part of a ministry that evangelized or be, you know, a part of a church that did this and you left and you have church. Allow the blood, allow Yeshua to come and wash these wounds out of your heart. Because you can't operate in the kingdom of God with deep wounds. You can't operate with arrows that are stuck into. You gotta pull them out. You need to repent, you need to ask people to, you know, forgive. You can't go out and share the kingdom if you got bitterness and unforgiveness towards your brother and sister in Christ. And so it's so important because it is passion of my heart as we go out and evangelize. But it is to, it's a call, a wake up call in America into the church in America, to the church all over the world. But I feel like in America we're really dead. We've, you know, we've been known as the, the mission, sending country, sending missionaries all over, and now we're to the point. It's like we need, we need evangelists, we need missionaries. We need believers that are on fire right here in our own country. And as you go out, I mean, as I go out and see the world and where it's at, it's. It's unbelievable to me. It. I mean, I know some of us are sheltered. I grew up being very sheltered. But, like, as I go on evangelizing, I've been out evangelizing with many of my friends at midnight, 1, 2 in the morning in big cities. And it will appall you what's happening on our own streets right here in America. And so the only way it changes is, Is the gospel. The gospel is the only answer and the cure. And so I just wanted to encourage. Yeah, encourage you guys. Like, this is a thing. I will. I will say this too. You know, in Deuteronomy 18, I think it's easy to focus in, you know, whatever denomination you come in to focus on your denomination. And I've seen this a lot growing up around people that want to step into the full Bible. We're always looking to, like, want to look like the prophet Moses and, and, and, and like, we're so, so passionate about the front of the Book and praise God. There's nuggets in there. There's things that we need. But Moses said in Deuteronomy 18 that, that there's going to be another prophet that is going to come and look to him and, and obey him. And so I just want to encourage you. And that prophet he's talking about is the Lamb of God, is Yeshua. And he should be their focus. He should be the one that we're looking upon. We shouldn't be trying to look like Moses. You know, we need to be looking like Yeshua, setting our gaze upon him and saying, yeshua, I want to look like you. You know, Ephesians says this, that we have the ability to look like him. And I always tell people I got things in the way until I fully look like Yeshua, walk like Yeshua, talk like Yeshua. I have things I need to repent. I have things that I need to let go of in my life. And my heart is, every day is to draw closer to him. And that is, you know, getting into the Word. But it's not. You can't just get into the Word and not walk in the Spirit. You need to walk in the Spirit. You need to be in prayer. You need to spend time fasting. Because even, you know, the disciples said, how can you know? They. They came to him and how can we fast? And he said, well, there's going to come a day, you know, right now the bridegroom's with you. It's hard to fast, but there's a company when the bridegroom's away, you're going to be fasting. It's like our bridegroom is away right now and this should be a season that we're pouring our heart out and fasting and, and digging in to the word. And it's not digging into the word to build it up in here, it's digging into the word. So it builds it up here and it builds it. And ultimately, this is the manual to live your life. This is the manual to go out and change the world. And I really, you know, you brought up something. PD and I'll share this real quick a little bit, is that we're so keen, like we're at the end, especially in America, it's like little persecution comes, it must be the end. And it's like other people in other countries, as I was in Africa last year, they laugh and they're like, what? You Americans are so prideful. You just think a little persecution coming must be the end. You know, you must be getting raptured or you must. Whatever's going to happen, whatever your theology is, and, and it's like, that's not how it is. Like, we're going to go through persecution, we're going to go through trials, but these trials and these persecutions should draw us closer to him. And we need to get out of the box of these things, come out of those underground bunkers, you know, step out of your caves. You know, maybe you need to sell some of that stuff you've been burying so you can further the kingdom of whatever it may be. I've been there, done that in years and God set me free and I will never go back. It's like, you can't tell me, you can share, you can share all the stuff. It's like, I already been there, done that, and like, I found the life and it's the life that's just following Yeshua being sold out. And, you know, there's one thing, I'll say this is like, there's only one thing that you can take with you when you leave this earth, and that is the souls of men and women. You're not going to be able to take your head knowledge, you're not gonna be able to take your 401k. You're not gonna be able to take, you know, 50 houses that you got for investments like, praise God, we need investments, we need finances. But yet we spend so much of our life focused on these earthly possessions when we're missing the treasures in heaven. And the only treasures in heaven that we can take with us is the souls of men and women that will have the opportunity on this earth to share the gospel. And I always share this analogy is, you know, if you were sitting at a roundtable and you had an investment and you're like, hey, you know, you got all these, the biggest businessmen in the world, and you set this investment down and you're like, if you give your life to this right now, super easy. It's a multi trillion dollar investment. And how many of us would probably say, yes, sign me up, I want that. Like, I mean, I wouldn't have to work again. That's amazing. I want that. Right? Can I tell you guys that the earthly treasures don't even compare to the treasures of heaven, and yet we're so willing to jump on treasures like that and jump on a trillion dollar easy thing. But I can tell you this, that if you give your life to the gospel and you see men and women's lives saved, you're sowing into heavenly treasures that surpassed trillions of dollars on this earth. And we got to lose ourselves and we need finances. Praise God. Like, I'm not telling you, quit your job and put your family in jeopardy.

Yes, Tyler. I mean, Yeshua said what you said. Yeshua said to the rich young ruler, sell what you have, give it away to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. He is saying that there is a treasure that is greater than what the rich young ruler thought was treasure. His heart was in the things. And perhaps, you know, for him, that was his treasure. We all have different treasures. Perhaps, but that treasure was what he needed to get rid of so he can be refocused on what matters, so that he can really follow Yeshua. I mean, he's standing before Yeshua saying, hey, I'm here, you know, what have you got for me? Kind of thing. What should I be doing? And this is what Yeshua calls him to. He says, you need to give something up first. And so I think that's a call for us, right? Like, what is it? What is it? That is our treasure? Is it possessions? Is it Chatgpt? Is it our TV shows? Is it our music? Is it our flat earth? Whatever? What is your treasure? Because, you know, I'm telling you, man, like when Thessalonians happens and I'm up there called up to the Lord. And I'm looking, I'm meeting him in the air, and I'm looking down at the earth and I'm seeing, oh, the earth is round or the earth is flat. And I'm like, oh, this is the crowd that won that argument. I'm going to be like, okay. And what I'm grateful for is the people I meet in the air, the souls that are there with me. Maybe someone could even say to me, pd, it's because of something you said one day that I accepted Yeshua, that's way more worth than an earth that's about to be destroyed that I'm looking down upon. Okay, so like, let's just get our priorities straight, brothers and sisters, because that's what's gonna matter. The treasure that we are about to enter, that's not far for us. I mean, it's but a little veil between life and death, between here and then in the presence, face to face. What are you going to do before it happens? Tyler, brother, thank you so much for joining me tonight. Could you pray for us and anyone who's got this on their heart and who's maybe not sure where to get started but who wants to. And if there's anything you want to share about your ministry, please feel welcome to as well?

Yeah, absolutely. I just share it like with you real quick, you know, while you're in your house, maybe you're in your vehicle and you're watching, maybe you need to pull over the side of the road. Just want to encourage you as, as I pray and share that. Man, just open your life to your shoe. You're not, you're not open your life and, and committing it to Tyler or, or pd but you're really like, if you feel this conviction and, and feel like, man, I, I need those things, like I encourage you. Maybe you need to get out your phone, take a note, get out of pen and paper and write things. And just like maybe in this video you've been watching, it's been convicting you and encourage you to, to step out and be bold and to get rid of these things, step away from them or, you know, whatever needs to happen, I don't know what they're, what you're struggling with and wrestling with, but, and allow that first love to just come over you and, and, and, and just surrendering and, and saying God. You know, it's, it says daily picking up our cross and it's a daily time. It's not just this one time, you know, get out of jail free card and you said the prayer, raise your hand one day, and you're never at the, you know, it's, no, it's constantly coming to the altar, constantly coming to him and picking up a cross and surrendering and following him daily. Because we have, we all have lives and we all have things that get in the way in all these areas. So I just want to encourage you as I, as I pray with you, that you just, you just be bold and whatever it may be and step out and say, you know what, I need to surrender this and I need to let go of this. And, and maybe I, you need an accountability partner. Or maybe you've been running from the Lord and it's time to fully surrender and you've been running and chasing weird doctrines and you're, you know, it's like you feel convicted, like I've, I've lost sight of the bridegroom, you know, and so the moment right now to just get right with God or, you know, maybe you've been running from fellowship and you need community because I'm telling you guys, you can't do it on your own. You can't be an independent believer in God. You're going to have to have community. It's important who you hang with. It's important who you fellowship with. And so I encourage you, like, if you feel like you're in an area group that's suffocating, you find, find an area that gives you life. And so just, yeah, I'm going to pray with you right now and just, just believing for breakthrough. I, I, I really feel chains are, are falling. I don't, I keep feeling and feeling like chains of addictions. There's somebody in here, they're struggling with some addictions. Maybe you're on medications and you're just relying on it and you're going to let go of that tonight. And I just really feel addictions are going to break off. And so I just pray right now in the mighty name of Yeshua Father, I just pray that everyone that is watching this and is listening to this God, that you would touch their heart, that chains of addictions would be broken off, that chains of unforgiveness and bitterness and anger and wrestling with sins would just be severed tonight. As my brothers and sisters are watching this video, I ask right now whether they're on the road, whether in their home or in the workplace, wherever they be, that, that you would just pour out your spirit upon them, that a fresh baptism of your love would just come upon them, that they, you would redraw their heart to the first love. God, I pray, Lord, that you would even just bring conviction in their heart and that you would wring out the sin, the imperfections, these bad characteristics that are in our life, that you would wring them out and you would sever us and that you would sever those things out of our life. God, I pray for anyone that is watching this right now that you would just bring just a freshness in the heart, that you would allow them to drink from the rivers of living water, that they can continually go to those rivers every day. And God, that you would help us to pick up our cross to follow you. Lord, I pray for just a deeper passion for the lost, for the broken, whether it's in the marketplace, whether it's you're in your home, whether it's even in your own fellowship, the brokenness and the broken people around. God, I pray for softening of their hearts right now, Lord, that you would touch them and that you would just, they would have encounters right now with you to set our eyes and our gaze upon the lamb every day, that we would not be the ones that would be found saying we lost our first love or you saying you've lost our first love towards you. But God, I pray that everyone that watches this, that you would say that have found you faithful, that you can say over us that well done, my good and faithful servant. So Lord, I just thank you, God, I pray that you would soften our hearts in this hour, that as you raise up an army in these latter days, the disciples asked, how will we know when Yeshua returns? And you say you will see all these signs and wonders. And yes, we're seeing signs and wonders, but you said it didn't just end there. You said, then the gospel will be preached all over the world. Lord, I pray that you would help us to be passionate for your gospel, the good news, and that we would be bold that you would raise up an army in a generation in this hour that would have no fear, that would not walk in shame and guilt, but that would walk in the power and the boldness to go and share the good news. So God, I thank you, God, I thank you and I lift up our persecuted brothers and sisters in other countries right now, God, that you would help them to stay faithful. God, those in Nigeria and Iran and China and Mozambique and on these countries that are just receiving so much persecution, seeing their families mauled in front of them, seeing their churches destroyed and ripped apart by this terroristic group of people, God, I pray that you would just help these families to be faithful, God, that they would not give in. But Lord, I pray for the enemy's camp, God, that they would have encounters with you and that you would obstruct their. Their. Their plans, that you bring destruction to the plans of the enemy. And God that you would see send angels into those camps and Lord, that they would have encounters that these radical Islamists would have radical encounters with a man in white. They would see, they would have dreams that you would visit them. And so Lord, I pray God that as we pray for our enemies, God that we would lift up these enemies and we had asked that their, their eyes would be open, that the scales would fall off their eyes. But also God, that the men and women that are standing for their faith, they would continue to stand and be bold, Lord, and that the blood of the martyrs would not just die away. The blood of the martyrs, Lord, would excel into the body of Christ to be bold in this hour to go and share the good news. So Lord, I just thank you God for everyone that watched this video, this live, Lord, tonight and that will watch it in the future, God, that you would spur their heart on to you and that you would just gravitate that their hearts will be gravitated to the Lamb that we gravitated to just gaze upon you. They would want to just seek and want to get on their hands and knees in the secret place and they would want to get in these areas and just be real and raw and open. And so Lord, I just thank you for pd for this ministry, God. I pray you would continue to pour blessings upon it that it would be used as a platform for the gospel in this hour to reach hundreds and thousands and tens of thousands of souls. So Lord, I thank you and we ask this in Yeshua's mighty, mighty name. Amen. Amen.

Amen brother. Thank you so much for that prayer. You're busy in Missouri. Can you share with anyone who's in that area who wants to connect with.

You, how they can do you want to connect? You can obviously look me up on social media, Instagram, Facebook. We also run something called the Jesus Place Mo Sanford, Missouri and it's locally right outside here Springfield. We do communion nights and homes with discipleship with mainly a lot of young people and then we do something called Jesus Night.

Amen. Thank you so much Tyler. And I'm going to grab his links guys and put it in the description for anyone. Thank you so much for for joining us here tonight. I hope that this has been a blessing to you like this video, share it with someone who you think this will bless. And we look forward to seeing you guys in the next video. Shalom, Sam.
