Cuando salimos deep into intellectual theology they think everything is just the intellectual intellectual and so now when they come across the fact that they can't work miracles only switch is normally first into their life they also have to find an intellectual explanation and it says that God has ceased working miracles because he did the miracle so we can have the Bible now that we have the Bible he doesn't work miracles again he's the same God yesterday today and forever hallelujah oh I know there are miracles here some of us by tomorrow your miracle has arrived some by Wednesday your miracle some by Thursday the miracle has showed up many by Friday miracle has showed up listen to me somebody don't worry about what cannot be done that's not your problem don't be so concerned about this situation is too wild too complicated it cannot be done don't be worried about what cannot be done do you understand it don't be worried about what cannot be done hallelujah don't be worried about what cannot be done because that is not your job your job your job is to dare to believe to believe and from yesterday you have to believe that God will deliver your soul from death he will deliver your eyes from tears and you deliver your feet from falling over the years let me use some terminus to speak about the word

[3:57] Amen In Acts chapter 22, verse 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16, one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having good reputation, same as report, of all the Jews who dwelt in Damascus.

[4:20] Two characteristics of Ananias. One, he was a devout man. It means that he was very dedicated and committed to the things of God.

[4:31] God doesn't just use anybody for any assignment. He doesn't just use anybody. He can use anybody, but he doesn't just use anybody for any assignment.

[4:45] So, God went to Ananias and told him, from Acts chapter 9, we know the story.

[4:56] But Paul was saying that this man in Damascus, called Ananias, he was a very devout person. And not only devout, had a good reputation in the church.

[5:10] Some of us, we don't have a good reputation, especially when you're a young man, and you have gone to propose to this girl. You are already in the church. You've spoken to three people, I want to marry you. And then you leave it.

[5:21] Then you go, another one. Then you leave it. Or, you've slept with somebody in the church. You are in church. And after fasting, you are going to sleep with somebody.

[5:34] And you don't understand why your family curse has not lifted off you. You don't understand why a certain type of blessing will stay far from you.

[5:49] It's not a curse, but you have imposed a restriction on you. An injunction on your life. How hungry are you that you have to go and steal food from Sainsbury's?

[6:08] Or from the police station? You are so hungry, you have to go and steal food from the police station. At the police canteen.

[6:23] Is it okay to teach? Yes. It's important. Because all this, let it flow, let it flow. Don't get anywhere.

[6:36] I'm not one of those pastors who is afraid to tell you the truth because you won't come. Don't come. I'm not afraid at all. And I will still love you.

[6:48] Hallelujah. Hallelujah. So, let's go back to Paul. Ananias had a good reputation. Say good reputation. Good reputation. Tell someone determined to have a good reputation in the church.

[7:01] Tell someone to have a good reputation in the church. You have argued with everybody in authority. Everybody in authority. In the church I'm talking about.

[7:16] Ague for ushers. Ague with security men. Ague with parking attendants. Ague with hosting.

[7:28] Ague with hosting. You know what? They are doing their job. I won't do it the way you want me to do it. Bad reputation. Pastor, we are fasting. What kind of preaching is this?

[7:40] I'm preaching the thing that will block away. The thing that will block the manifestation of your fasting. Yeah, I have to preach that. Bad reputation.

[7:51] The Bible says that. Look for people full of the Holy Ghost. Who have common sense to do the job. I won't put you to do sound.

[8:03] If you don't understand sound. So, you might be full of the Holy Ghost. But not for sound work. Maybe yours for children's service. So, full of, I'm talking about Acts chapter 6, verse 3.

[8:15] Full of the Holy Ghost. Of wisdom. And of good reputation. You cannot be recommended. Without a good reputation.

[8:27] God went to Ananias. Someone who had good reports. Not only in the church. But around. In the community. The same thing happened to Timothy.

[8:37] In Acts chapter 16, verse 1 and 2. Timothy, his mother was Jewish. My father was Greek. The Bible said. And people. He was spoken well of by their brethren.

[8:50] Listen. I want to talk to somebody. You want to go far in God. You want the blessings of God. And God to use you. Have a determination. That you will have a good reputation among believers.

[9:03] And then let it flow over. In the church. In the department. You are. Start from there. That you have a good reputation. Ask for me. I know my. Get over.

[9:14] This ask for me. Who do you think you are? It's the devil's language. Ask for me. Ask for me. This is how I want. This is how I am. Because of this. You have a reason not to do what is right.

[9:26] Is it not because your destiny has been betrayed? You have a reason not to do what is right. When you are failing. You have an excuse why you should fail. You have such a beautiful voice.

[9:41] But it's not usable in a choir. You have such a. It's not usable in a team. Because. Every time choir has rehearsal. You know. Normally you don't like waking up very early.

[9:53] Because that's the time you receive your inspirations. I like this kind of teaching.

[10:09] I like this kind of teaching. We don't do certain things. We are Christians. So we don't do certain things.

[10:20] Please remember. Don't forget. God can use the church. To train you to have. Good character. Else. He will never bring a wife to you.

[10:32] Or bring a husband. He will butcher. With this. Nasty character. You think you are a nice person. You are a very. Annoying person. To live with.

[10:45] To live with. To dress. You are amazing. To walk. You are amazing. Yes. To know restaurants.

[10:57] To go and eat. You are amazing. To look romantic. You are. Mwah. Mwah. But to live with. You are a devil. You are a devil. Oh yes.

[11:15] Oh yes. Oh yes. It will take church. To break you. Church. Discipleship. Will. Will. Marinate you.
