The new testament starts with the four 56 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,080 Gospels, we have matthew, 57 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,680 we have mark, we have luke and we have john. 58 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:40,240 After the four gospels in the new testament we have the book of acts, 59 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,240 the book of acts, the book of the apostles 60 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:50,080 is a historian book and we're going to come back to that in 61 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:55,840 a short time, after we have the book of acts, we have 21 letters, 62 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:03,360 where 13 of them is written by paul and in the end of the new 63 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,760 testament we have the book of revelation, or revelation 64 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:14,080 and that is the book of the end times. What we are going to focus most on 65 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,600 now is the book of acts. 66 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,600 The book of acts in the bible is a very 67 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:27,600 special book, of course all books or all letters in the bible are very special, 68 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:36,239 but the book of acts is the only history book we have, that actually show, 69 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:41,120 how the early disciples were following Jesus. 70 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:47,440 In that way, that the book of acts is the only book in the whole bible, that shows 71 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:52,560 how they walk around and preach the gospel, how the early 72 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:57,040 disciples actually laid their hands on the sick, so they got healed, how the 73 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,320 early disciples cast out demons and so on 74 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:07,520 so the book of acts is a book, where we can see, how people in the early church 75 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:13,039 heard the gospel and how they came to faith and what they did, when they came 76 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:18,000 to faith and we don't see that in any other book 77 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,480 in the whole bible. We don't see that in any other book in 78 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,400 the new testament. Why? 79 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:30,320 Because the four gospels are all before the cross, 80 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:37,040 the four gospels that show about how Jesus walked around and what he was 81 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,200 preaching and what he was doing and how he called disciples to follow him. 82 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:47,120 Even you see a great thing, a lot of great things in the four 83 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:51,760 gospels about Jesus and who he was and what he was preaching and how we should 84 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,760 follow him, the four gospels was still before 85 00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:01,040 the cross, before Jesus died and got buried and rose up again, before 86 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:06,160 Jesus went to heaven and before the Holy Spirit was poured out on earth, 87 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,880 so therefore you don't see the full picture in the four gospels. 88 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:16,800 In the four gospels you don't see how people come to faith 89 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,560 by getting baptized to Christ and receiving the Holy Spirit as we are 90 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,120 today, but much more about that later. 91 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,960 In the letters we have the letters, written by paul, 92 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:35,440 peter, james and the rest, is written to already Christians, 93 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,480 the letters are written with, is teaching about the 94 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:47,200 church and church life and how we as Christians, how we as disciples should 95 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,920 live, so in the letters, 96 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:55,440 because they're already written to Christians, you don't see in the letters, 97 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,360 how people actually came to faith, you don't see in the 98 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,680 letters how the early disciple was preaching the gospel, you don't see all 99 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,880 of that in the letters, but you see that 100 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:11,280 in the book of acts. The book of acts is a very special book 101 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,559 as i said before, the book of acts is like a diary 102 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,600 of some of the first disciples, 103 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:24,800 the book of acts is like a diary, that really give a good picture of how they 104 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,560 were living, how the early disciples was walking 105 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:34,400 with the Holy Spirit now, how they were serving Jesus, how they were preaching 106 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,799 the gospel, how they were continuing the work Jesus started, 107 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:45,520 all of that you see in the book of acts and if we believe, what the bible says in 108 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:50,000 hebrew 13,8 is true, then what we read in 109 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,200 the book of acts is also for us today, 110 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,160 because hebrew 13,8 is saying this: 111 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:02,079 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. 112 00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:08,959 Do you believe, that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever? If you 113 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:15,040 believe that Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever, then the Holy Spirit is 114 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:20,079 also the same today. And what they experienced at that time, 115 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:25,280 what we read about in the book of acts, what they experience, we can also 116 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:30,560 experience today, so the book of acts is like a diary, 117 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:36,880 a diary of Peter, Paul and you read a little about Philip and 118 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,720 some of the other disciples at that time and 119 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:46,240 i want to introduce you to one of my favorite verses in the book of acts. 120 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:53,120 In chapter 9 verse 10, in chapter 9 in the book of acts, you read 121 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,520 about Paul and you read about how Paul he met Jesus. 122 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:04,560 What happened was, that Paul he was actually really against the disciples, 123 00:10:04,560 --> 00:10:06,640 against those people, who are following Jesus 124 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:13,440 and Paul he went to Damascus with a letter to the synagogue in Damascus 125 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:14,000 where he 126 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:20,240 asked for permission to capture all those, who believed in Jesus and bring 127 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:24,000 them back to Jerusalem, because he wanted to throw them in prison. 128 00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:28,239 So Paul, he was on the way to Damascus with a big, big 129 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,320 hate in his heart for Jesus and everyone, who was following him, 130 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,640 but there on the way to Damascus a great 131 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:41,760 light came from heaven and when Paul saw that great light, 132 00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:46,719 he fall down on the ground and then he heard a voice say: 133 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,120 Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? 134 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:58,800 and he said: Who are you, Lord? and the voice said: I am Jesus, whom you are 135 00:10:58,800 --> 00:10:59,839 persecuted 136 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,600 and after this, after Paul or Saul as his name also was, 137 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,640 after that light and after he heard that, he was blind and he could not see 138 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,680 anymore, so that brought him 139 00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:18,560 to a home, where he was there fasting and seeking 140 00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:24,160 God for three days and then we come to this verse, verse 10 141 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:29,760 and there we read this: And there was a certain disciple 142 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:38,320 at Damascus named Ananias and to him said the Lord in a vision: Ananias and he said: 143 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:45,439 Behold, i am here Lord. And if you continue reading, you can read 144 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:52,000 that God spoke to that disciple called Ananias and God said to Ananias, 145 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,720 that he should go to the house where Paul was 146 00:11:55,600 --> 00:12:01,200 and we can go on reading, how he went there to that house and he came into the 147 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,960 room, where Paul was and he laid the hand on Paul 148 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,480 and Paul got healed and he could see again 149 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,840 and then he was preaching the gospel to Paul and Paul there got baptized in 150 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:19,200 water and received the Holy Spirit. Maybe you think, 151 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:24,640 why the verse, we read before, was one of my favorite verses in the bible and i 152 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,240 will tell you why i love this verse in the bible: 153 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:33,920 What we read before was, we read, that in Damascus, there was a disciple 154 00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:39,760 called Ananias, the word disciple, this is what i really love, 155 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:45,280 the bible doesn't say, that in Damascus there was a big prophet 156 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:51,680 called Ananias or in Damascus, there was a priest or somebody, who have a very 157 00:12:51,680 --> 00:12:53,839 very special calling, 158 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:59,680 but in Damascus, there was a disciple called Ananias, 159 00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:03,920 a disciple like you and me, who want to follow Jesus, 160 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:08,719 a disciple like everyone else, who love Jesus and is following him. 161 00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:14,000 To that disciple God spoke. 162 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:20,560 I like this verse. Why? Because God also want to speak to you 163 00:13:20,560 --> 00:13:25,119 and me today. This disciple Ananias, 164 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:31,120 that day in his life, he experienced four things: 165 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,720 First he experienced, how God spoke to him, 166 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,600 he also experienced, how he was led by the Holy Spirit, 167 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,280 he also experienced, how he laid their hands on Paul 168 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:50,560 and he was healed in the name of Jesus and he experienced, how he could baptize 169 00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:55,680 Paul in water and with the Holy Spirit. You and me 170 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:01,839 can experience the same today, because what we read here 171 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:07,360 with Ananias is the normal christian life. 172 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:14,400 Who was Ananias that experienced all of those amazing 173 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,199 things? The answer is: we don't know. 174 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,760 The bible doesn't tell a lot about who Ananias was, 175 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:27,120 but the bible says, that he was a disciple of Jesus 176 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,720 like you and me, like we are today. 177 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:39,200 The only reason we today know, that there actually was a disciple called Ananias 178 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:43,840 and that disciple experienced those amazing things, how God spoke 179 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:48,960 to him and how the Holy Spirit led him and how he saw healing and baptism in water 180 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:54,560 and in Holy Spirit, the only reason, we know that, is because we are reading about 181 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,839 Paul, because we are reading Paul's diary. 182 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:04,320 If we didn't have Paul's diary or the book of acts, that is mainly about Paul, 183 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:09,520 we will never know, that there was a disciple called Ananias. 184 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,880 My question to you is: Do you believe, 185 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,320 that the things, we read about there in the book of acts 186 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,880 chapter 9, what Ananias experience, do you believe, 187 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,400 what he experienced that day, when God spoke to him, when the Holy 188 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:32,400 Spirit led him, when he lay hands on somebody who got healed, when he baptized 189 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,959 somebody in water and with the Holy Spirit, do you believe, that those 190 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:42,400 things he experienced that day was the only time in his entire life he 191 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:46,079 experienced that? No, of course not, 192 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:52,240 this was just one day in his life and just because we don't read it in the 193 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,800 bible, because we are mainly reading about Paul, 194 00:15:55,440 --> 00:16:00,000 it doesn't mean, that Ananias did not experience the same thing other days, 195 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,439 maybe not with Paul but with other people, 196 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:08,000 i believe, there were many days in Ananias life, where he experienced how 197 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:08,800 God spoke to him, 198 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:13,040 where he experienced, how the Holy Spirit led him, when he experienced laying hands 199 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,520 on the sick and they got healed, when he experienced 200 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,920 the opportunity to lead people into Christ, share the gospel, baptize in 201 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:24,079 Water, baptize with them the Holy Spirit, i believe 202 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:28,720 Ananias experienced a lot of this, i believe, we could write a whole book 203 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:34,959 about Ananias like we have the book of acts about Paul 204 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,840 and some of the rest. So what i believe is, 205 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:44,640 that if we had Ananias diary and we will went through Ananias 206 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:50,880 diary, we will experience many beautiful days like the day he had with Paul, 207 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,839 days, where the Holy Spirit led him, where god used him, 208 00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:02,480 i believe we could write a whole book, like the book of acts about Ananias, i 209 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,400 actually believe, we could write a whole book about the first 210 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:12,560 12 apostles we read about or about the 70, they later got called, i 211 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,879 actually believe, we can write a whole book about each of the 3 thousand, who 212 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:21,280 got baptized on pentecost and by writing a book about them you 213 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,520 will see some of the same things, 214 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,560 i actually believe that you and me, who followed Jesus today, 215 00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:32,159 should be able to write a book about our life 216 00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:36,399 and our life should look 217 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,600 much like what we read in the book of acts. 218 00:17:41,360 --> 00:17:45,199 Of course today is very different than the time 219 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:46,480 of Jesus, 220 00:17:47,360 --> 00:17:50,959 because today we have cars and we have airplanes, we have internet, 221 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:57,200 so there's a lot of things, we today can do, they did not do at the time of Jesus, 222 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,840 but the Holy Spirit is the same, 223 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:05,360 Jesus is the same and the truth is, that what we read in 224 00:18:05,360 --> 00:18:10,560 the book of acts should be the normal christian life. 225 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,320 This is the normal christian life and 226 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:21,040 not what many of us grow up in today when we grow up in religion. 227 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:28,000 You don't read in the book of acts, how baby got baptized with a little water on 228 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,880 the head in an old, old church by a priest, 229 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,600 who was saying different things.

I called myself a Christian, 252 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,920 but my life was nothing like what i read there. 253 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,400 So there must be something wrong someplace 254 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:21,200 and we know, it's not the bible there's something wrong with, it must be there 255 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,960 and it's somehow hard to come to that understanding, 256 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:31,120 that in many ways we have been deceived by religion, i was deceived by religion, 257 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,560 but i started to understand it, i started 258 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:40,720 to change and now my life and the book of acts look so much the same. 259 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,560 We need to understand, that the bible is the truth, 260 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:51,440 never build the truth, let's say like that, never build on experience, 261 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:57,439 because experience can change from day to day, never build on tradition, we need 262 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:03,360 to build on the bible, the bible is the truth and we need to understand, 263 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:09,120 that what we read in the book of acts is not about being an apostle like Peter, 264 00:21:09,120 --> 00:21:15,360 Paul, being a big prophet, no it's all about following Jesus, it's all about 265 00:21:15,360 --> 00:21:18,320 being a disciple of Jesus like Ananias, 266 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,440 to be a disciple like many other 267 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:29,840 is to live amazing life and this is what God 268 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:30,800 called you for. 269 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:36,080 It's about Jesus, it's about the gospel, it's about learning to live the life we 270 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:40,320 read about in the bible, it's about the Holy Spirit in us 271 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:46,880 and how we in everyday life obey Jesus as his disciple. 272 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:53,120 If you start to walk this life, you can experience exactly the same thing Ananias 273 00:21:53,120 --> 00:21:57,199 experience, the same thing i experienced and the same thing many 274 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,000 other people all over the world experienced with God. 275 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,440 You can experience, how God will speak to You, 276 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,960 you can experience, how the Holy Spirit is leading you, 277 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:12,720 i had many amazing experiences of that, how God had been speaking, how the Holy 278 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,000 Spirit is leading and i'm going to share more experience later, 279 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,520 you can also experience, how you 280 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:24,240 go into a house like Ananias and you lay hands on the sick there and they get 281 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,680 healed like Ananias, how you are preaching the gospel and you are 282 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,200 baptizing people in water and the Holy Spirit like Ananias, 283 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,600 you can experience that, because i have experienced it and other people are 284 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:36,240 experiencing it, 285 00:22:39,360 --> 00:22:43,600 you can see some experience like that in our movies the last reformation 286 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,560 the life or some of the youtube videos we have out there, 287 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:53,360 so Jesus is the same yesterday today and forever and it's not about us, it's about 288 00:22:53,360 --> 00:22:58,080 him, it's about what he did and that we are willing to 289 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,439 follow him and show the world, who he really is. 290 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,160 So you can also experience all of this with laying hands on the sick and they 291 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,600 will get healed in the name of Jesus, you can experience, 292 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:14,080 how the Holy Spirit is leading you and how you are doing it, how you are 293 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,840 baptizing people in water and with the Holy Spirit, so i hope you are ready to 294 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:22,560 start this amazing life, i hope you are ready to learn to live it, 295 00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:26,639 live the life and write your own diary, 296 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,480 that will look like the book of acts, 297 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,800 because this is the normal christian life. 298 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,600 I would like us to look at two words in the bible. 299 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:44,639 The first word is the word christian and the other word is the word disciple. 300 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,400 Do you know that the word christian 301 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:57,120 is only written three times in the whole bible? And Jesus never used this word, 302 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:02,800 the first time, we actually see the word christian being used 303 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:08,719 is 11 years after Jesus was here on earth. 304 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:17,280 We read that in book of acts 11,26 And the disciples were called Christians 305 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,600 first in Antioch. So it was in Antioch, 306 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:28,800 the disciples first time were called christians and that was 11 years after 307 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:34,399 Jesus was on earth. So the word christians is only written 308 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:41,120 three times in the whole bible, but the word disciple is written over 309 00:24:41,120 --> 00:24:43,840 250 Times. 310 00:24:45,360 --> 00:24:48,320 Maybe we should stop using the word christians 311 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,680 like jesus never used the word Christians. 312 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,760 Why? Because it's a word, that have been so misunderstood today. 313 00:24:57,360 --> 00:24:59,840 Maybe you have heard people say like this: 314 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,240 I am a Christian, but i really don't live it, 315 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:10,720 oh i'm a christian in my own way, oh i'm a christian, because 316 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:16,000 i go to church and try to live a good life, i've heard many people say like 317 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,560 that, but tries to say like this: 318 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,960 I am a disciple of Jesus, but i really don't live it 319 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:30,080 oh i'm a disciple of Jesus in my own way, i'm a disciple of Jesus, because i go to 320 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,199 church and try to live a good life or say i'm a 321 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,520 disciple of Jesus in my own way. It sounds wrong, 322 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:43,280 it doesn't make sense, because we know, that to be a disciple of Jesus to follow him, 323 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:47,120 you cannot, you don't become a disciple of Jesus, because you go to church and 324 00:25:47,120 --> 00:25:51,760 try to live a good life and you cannot be a disciple of Jesus in your own way. 325 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:57,120 So Jesus never used the word christian and maybe we should stop using it, 326 00:25:57,120 --> 00:26:00,320 because it's a word, that have been so misunderstood today. 327 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:06,240 But if you look at the word disciple what do that actually mean today 328 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:11,200 today? The word disciple is a word we only use in the churches. 329 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,320 If you go out on the street today and say hey: hi, i'm a disciple, they look 330 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:21,200 at you and say: what are you? But at the time of Jesus the word 331 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:25,920 disciple was a very common word, Jesus had disciples, John the baptist had 332 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,680 disciples, the pharisees have disciples, Moses have disciples, there were different 333 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:34,240 people who had disciples. So the word at the time of Jesus was a 334 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:40,160 very common word and people knew what it meant. So if we should try to use another 335 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:46,240 word instead of disciple today, who explain what it really is about, 336 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:52,320 then the word disciple is like apprentice, 337 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:59,280 discipleship is like a apprenticeship, let me explain: 338 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:07,040 Many years ago i started a apprenticeship as a baker in a bakery, 339 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,840 let's say like that i started a discipleship 340 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:17,360 as a baker in a bakery, because apprentice and disciple is somehow the 341 00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:21,520 same word and here you can see a picture 342 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,760 and it could actually be me on this picture who are standing working in the 343 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:30,720 bakery, but this is not me, but i started apprenticeship or 344 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:37,280 discipleship many years ago as a baker. When i started in the bakery 345 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:45,520 as apprentice as a baker, i actually did not know anything about making cakes or 346 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,840 doing all of those things. 347 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,040 I didn't know anything about it, but i came in 348 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:56,640 and there he was my master and my master, who was the baker, 349 00:27:57,360 --> 00:28:05,360 he was there to train me, he was there to show me, so i could learn and do the same 350 00:28:05,360 --> 00:28:08,800 as him. And i actually learned 351 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:14,880 to bake bread, i learned to make cakes, i learned to make wedding cakes and i 352 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:20,160 became better and better and better and i started to look more and more and more 353 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,680 like my master. And yes it was very hard in the 354 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:28,640 beginning to learn to bake bread and all of that, because it was new, everything 355 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:33,040 was new for me, i've never done it before and there was times in the beginning i 356 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,520 thought, i'm never going to learn this like this is too, 357 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,840 this is not easy, because there was a lot of new information all the time. 358 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,840 But i learned 359 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:50,240 and after a short time i became better and better and better and 360 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:56,400 in the end i was almost like my master, of course he was always better than me a 361 00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:01,680 little or much sometimes and faster than me, but in that period of 362 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,640 discipleship those three and a half years i was there, 363 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:10,160 in this period of discipleship or apprenticeship as a backer i learned and 364 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:15,440 i became so much better, i also make many, many, many mistakes, 365 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,800 and but you know what, that is somehow part of the job 366 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:25,440 and my master, he knew that, when he took me in, because every apprentice before me 367 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,960 have also make mistakes, that is part of learning. 368 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,920 I say it like this: it is okay to make mistakes, but it's not okay, if you don't try. 369 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:40,720 So now you and me are not apprentice 370 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,160 in a bakery, we are apprentice 371 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:50,640 at Jesus, we are his disciples and the same way i said yes to 372 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:56,240 apprenticeship as a backer, in the same way somehow we now say yes to our 373 00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,160 apprenticeship with Jesus. We start to follow him, 374 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,760 where we are going to learn to live like him, 375 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:12,240 where we are going to grow daily or weekly and become more and more 376 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:17,600 and more and more like our master every day and this is, what Jesus is saying 377 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:18,159 in luke 378 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:26,399 6,40, where Jesus is saying this: A disciple or apprentice is not above his 379 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:32,000 master but everyone who is fully trained shall be like his master. 380 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:38,080 Try to Imagine, that i was working as a baker 381 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:45,040 or working as apprentice in a bakery, but after three and a half year in my 382 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:51,360 apprenticeship i have still not learned to make cakes, so if the case was that i 383 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:55,520 after three years have not learned and was only looking at him do it or look at 384 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,320 some of the other people doing it, there was something wrong, 385 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,000 there's something wrong with that workplace, there's something wrong with 386 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:06,000 the apprenticeship, there's something wrong with my master, something wrong 387 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:11,840 with me. Why? Because the whole reason i started my apprenticeship was after a 388 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,879 few years to be like him, to be 389 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:19,440 a real baker, i was not an apprentice anymore, i was 390 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:25,680 a baker and i was supposed to learn to do like him. In the same way i want to 391 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,640 say, that there is something wrong, 392 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,120 if you have been a christian or disciple or apprentice 393 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:40,320 and after 10 and 20 years still don't know, how to do what Jesus called 394 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:40,960 you to do, 395 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:47,920 then there's something wrong with where you are, there's something wrong with you, 396 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,760 we are called to be like Jesus, 397 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,760 we are called to walk like him, 398 00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:02,240 to speak like him, to be led by the Holy Spirit like him, 399 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,879 to heal his sick and cast out demons like him, 400 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:11,120 to serve like him, to love like him 401 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:17,439 and the list just go on and on. So there's something wrong, if you have 402 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,640 been a disciple or christian for 10 or 20 years 403 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:25,920 and have still not learned how to do, what Jesus called you to do. 404 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:32,240 But don't worry! We are here to help you, i'm here to help 405 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,440 you, the reason we are doing these seven lessons 406 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:40,720 is to help you on your way, to help you to start 407 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:46,720 not only believing Jesus, but start live with him, 408 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:52,240 to live as apprentice of Jesus, to live as a disciple. 409 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,480 We are here to help you to get, so you can write your own diary 410 00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,719 and your diary will look like what we read in the book of acts, 411 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:06,400 so we are here to help you to learn to live the life Jesus have for you, 412 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,800 but you need to be willing to obey, 413 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:15,120 we cannot obey for you, that is something you need to do, 414 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,960 we can give you teaching, we can give you training, 415 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:23,840 but you need to obey it, you need to step out 416 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:29,120 and start living it. When i started as a baker, 417 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,480 starting baking cakes, 418 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:40,320 as i said i make many, many, many mistakes and sometimes my master he was angry, 419 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:44,720 sometimes he was really angry and things was flying to the room and he was 420 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,680 shouting and i was like oh no i messed it up one more time, 421 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,720 but you know that was somehow part of the job, 422 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:57,360 it is part of the job to make mistakes, but i actually learned also through the 423 00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:01,280 mistakes i did, i tried, 424 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,640 i made mistakes, i tried again, 425 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:09,679 and i became better and better and i learned, i learned and i learned 426 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:15,600 and the same way with Jesus, the same we see with Jesus 427 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:21,040 and his disciples in the bible. There were times where Jesus disciples 428 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,679 could not get the job done, 429 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,120 where they didn't do what Jesus wanted them to do. 430 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:35,920 One example is in matthew chapter 17, where there was a man who brought his 431 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,960 son to Jesus disciples, because 432 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:44,240 he wanted Jesus disciples to heal him or set him free from a demon 433 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:49,839 and we read the text here in matthew 17 from verse 434 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,240 16. The bible says this: 435 00:34:53,199 --> 00:34:59,919 I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him and Jesus replied you 436 00:34:59,920 --> 00:35:05,920 unbelieving and perverse generation, how long must i be with you? How long must i 437 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:13,040 put up with you? Bring him to me. And then we read that they brought the 438 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:18,800 boy to Jesus and Jesus healed him right away, he set that boy free. 439 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:24,480 What Jesus said here you unbelieving and perverse generation, 440 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:30,080 Jesus did not say that to the boy, who needed deliverance, he did not say that to 441 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:34,080 the father who came with the boy, he said that to his disciples, 442 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:40,960 because he was frustrated over them, because they did not do, what they were 443 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,840 supposed to do. And here you almost, 444 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:48,320 when i read this, i almost think of my own example with my master, 445 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:53,520 there was times, where i messed it up, i forgot to put things in the bread or i 446 00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:58,320 forgot to take things off out of the oven and suddenly he was shouting and i 447 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:02,560 came to him and he said: Torben, how long time shall i keep up with you, you should 448 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:07,840 have learned by now and he rebuked me and he was angry. 449 00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,080 But i learned, 450 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,840 i also learned by that and i became better and i become better and i 451 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:19,200 become better. So our goal is 452 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:25,840 of course to be perfect, but we are on our journey and you will make mistakes, 453 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:30,000 it's part of life and i always say like that: it's okay we 454 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:35,360 don't look exactly like Jesus now, but it's not okay we don't look more 455 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:40,400 like Jesus now than we did last year. Why? Because we are here to grow, 456 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:46,240 so when a person say yes to Jesus, that person is actually saying yes 457 00:36:46,240 --> 00:36:50,080 to apprenticeship or discipleship, 458 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:55,680 an apprenticeship where he was supposed to learn to walk 459 00:36:56,320 --> 00:37:02,960 like Jesus and do like him. You don't say yes to just go to church 460 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:07,120 two hours every sunday and sit there year after year and after many years 461 00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:11,600 still don't know how to do the things Jesus called us to do. That is religion 462 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:16,160 and that is not what Jesus came with, Jesus came with apprenticeship, 463 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,920 with discipleship, with the power of the Holy Spirit. 464 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:25,280 So the first step of course is, that you need to be born again, 465 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:30,080 we cannot walk like Jesus and do like Jesus, if we don't 466 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:35,040 have the Holy Spirit in us, if we are not born again. We need the power of the Holy 467 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:40,800 Spirit to do that. I remember there some years ago, i was on a tv program on 468 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:45,440 danish tv and in the program there was a famous muslim, a famous jew and that was 469 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:49,040 me and it was like a debate program, where we are talking about different 470 00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:54,800 things. After the program i sat down with that muslim, that very famous muslim in 471 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:59,280 denmark and i said to her: Tell me about your faith, 472 00:37:59,920 --> 00:38:03,840 tell me about your faith, what God is doing in your life 473 00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:08,480 and she was surprised of my answer so this muslim said: oh, yeah 474 00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:14,799 it feels good, when i'm reading quran and when i'm going and praying in the mosque. 475 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,840 Okay, tell me more: How do God speak to you? 476 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:22,880 It feels good, when i'm reading the quran and when i'm praying and going to the 477 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:27,600 mosque. Tell me more: How do God give you dreams? How do God lead you? 478 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:33,680 It feels good, when i'm praying and reading the quran. Tell me more: How do 479 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,480 people get healed through you? How do you set people free? 480 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:42,080 And again: it feels good, when i'm reading a quran and when i'm praying, that was 481 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:46,560 the only things she could say. Every time i ask questions, tell me about your life 482 00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:50,720 with God, tell me about your relationship, tell me about what God is doing in your 483 00:38:50,720 --> 00:38:55,759 life, the only answers she came with was: oh, it feels good, when i do this and this 484 00:38:56,480 --> 00:39:00,560 and then she asked me, but what about you, tell me about your 485 00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:04,799 life with God! And i started to explain, how i met God, 486 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:10,400 how the Holy Spirit came into my life, how God spoke to me about this and God, 487 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:14,640 the Holy Spirit led me and how i came to a house and people get healed 488 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:19,279 and set free from demons, how i got dreams and how i got pictures and i 489 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:22,480 started to tell about my relationship with God, 490 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:26,879 tell about my walk with Jesus and what i have experienced 491 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:31,840 and we were sitting there and talking one and a half hour and she was just 492 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,240 asking question after question after question 493 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:39,520 and for me that day it became very, very, very clear, that there is a big 494 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:43,360 difference between religion and relationship. 495 00:39:44,240 --> 00:39:47,200 she what she had was just a religion, 496 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,000 what i had was a relationship with God, 497 00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:58,080 but the sad thing is, that christianity for many christians is also a religion, 498 00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:03,280 if i ask many Christians, who believe in Jesus, who believe in God, who go to 499 00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:08,560 church: Tell me about your life, how do God use you? It feels good, when i'm 500 00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:12,480 praying and going in the church. Tell me about how do the Holy Spirit lead you? oh 501 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:16,720 it feels good, when i'm praying and going to church. Tell me how 502 00:40:16,720 --> 00:40:22,480 do god heal through you? It feels good, when… Their answer would be like her answer, 503 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:28,960 It is just religion and i want to say what Jesus came with was a relationship 504 00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:34,640 and there is a big difference between religion and relationship, 505 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,560 this is what Jesus said to some of a religious leader 506 00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,759 at his time. He said this: 507 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:47,520 Woe to you teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! 508 00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:54,799 You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed 509 00:40:54,800 --> 00:41:00,560 and self-undulgence. Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside 510 00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:05,840 of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean. 511 00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:11,520 Here you see a big difference between religion and 512 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,640 relationship. True christianity 513 00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:21,840 is from inside and out, true christianity is cleaning you inside, 514 00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:25,280 is changing you inside, religion cannot do that, 515 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:32,160 true christianity is a relationship, true christianity is to be born again, it 516 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:38,160 is to become a disciple of Jesus, it is to be transformed from inside and out, 517 00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:44,480 where it become visible for everyone around us that we follow Jesus, 518 00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:48,480 but it starts with the inside, it starts 519 00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:53,760 with we getting born again, so the true christianity is a 520 00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:59,200 relationship with God and the Holy Spirit, it is to become a new creation in 521 00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,879 the inside and to experience freedom from sin 522 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:10,400 and start to live a holy life like Jesus called us to, a supernatural life, where 523 00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:14,720 we are led by the Holy Spirit, where we experience miracles, dreams and vision as 524 00:42:14,720 --> 00:42:19,120 we read in the bible, true christianity is alive, it's 24/7, 525 00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:25,839 where we are the church, we are the temple of the Holy Spirit, who is inside 526 00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:30,080 of us. As i said before, 527 00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:35,680 some years ago i was sitting there with the bible in one hand and my life 528 00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:39,520 here and the bible looks so very different 529 00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,560 from how i was living, it was not the same, 530 00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:49,919 but then i did something about it, but it was a long journey, but today my life 531 00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:56,320 looks so much like the book of acts and the same for you out there, it is going 532 00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:59,840 to be a long journey for some of you, but it's going to be an amazing journey, 533 00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:01,920 so to end up, 534 00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:07,680 i hope you are ready, i hope you are ready to follow Jesus as his disciples, 535 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:12,080 as his apprentice. Jesus did not use the word christian, 536 00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:17,520 he used the word disciples, apprentice and this is what we are called to do, 537 00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:23,200 the normal christian life is to be a disciple of Jesus, 538 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:28,480 it is not just to go to church sunday after sunday and sit there and listen to 539 00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:33,040 a sermon, but it is to live the life we read about in the bible, the life we read 540 00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:37,600 about in the book of acts, our diary as i said should look the same 541 00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:43,200 like we read in the book of acts, because this is the normal life as a 542 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:47,600 disciple of Jesus. So the way we come in and live this life 543 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,560 is by obeying what Jesus is saying in his word. 544 00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:53,840 Yes in the beginning we will do many mistakes 545 00:43:55,760 --> 00:44:01,360 and we will learn from those mistakes and we will grow and grow and grow, so i 546 00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:07,280 hope you are ready to follow Jesus and learn to live the life he has for you, to 547 00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:12,080 experience amazing things with him, our everyday life as you read in the bible, 548 00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:17,680 but first you need to be born again, you need to be born again 549 00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:23,680 and you need the Holy Spirit because without that you cannot live this life 550 00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:27,520 and this is what i'm going to talk about in the next lesson.
