to this leader God lead me today less of me more of you in Jesus mighty name we pray amen amen my leaders today I woke up and I'm sitting here and I'm doing my Bible study okay I'm worshiping I'm dancing I got my dance music on my Afro gospel I'm Nigerian for those who don't know and I'm I'm worshiping and I'm praising then I sto praising after I cook up my breakfast I go to sit down and I'm reading my word and lately I've been in the book of Galatians okay and as I'm reading the book of Galatians I'm doing my Bible study I'm being led here I'm being led

there and one thing I had to write down as I'm reading Galatians if you go to Galatians chapter 1 and I've been speaking about this in other videos but I'm going to go there real quick because I'm going to take us somewhere okay and I want you to follow me I'm reading out of the KJV version okay so yours may read a little different for those who don't know me my name is Mike J on your cheram I am a certified life coach I'm your internet Pastor all right and in this platform we glorify the name of Jesus Christ okay it's about getting coaching getting counseling through biblical principles the

greatest coach the greatest counselor on the face of this planet and in heaven and so God allows me as a vessel his Prophet his Pastor to speak to you all regarding this Bible right here in order so that what we can heal so that we can grow okay the mission of this Miss Ministry and the mission of my life is to motivate and Inspire faith in Jesus Christ okay so that we can have confidence in ourselves and go towards the calling that God has gifted us with and if you're watching this video right now you have a caller you're not here to wander 40 years and die you're not here

to just clock in and just clock out collect the check a 401k and then go on to the next life you're not here to just live somebody else's life you have a life of your your own you have an identity you have a purpose you have been called all right and those of you all who have already given their life to Jesus Christ you've gotten immersed dipped baptized and you received the Holy Ghost the Holy Ghost has led you to this video okay and the Holy Ghost has given you power and has given you authority to do the will of the father not the will of your flesh but the

will of your father and I have to open up like this because I don't believe we talk too much about the Holy Ghost those of you all who have received the Holy Ghost the gift that Jesus Christ promised I need to open up like this because when we go to the book of Galatians Galatians which is written by Paul Paul first and foremost mentions that he is an apostle check this out by none none other if we go to Galatians verse one and I'm going keep reading these in the videos so we can get used to getting in this Bible and searching this for ourselves in verse one of Galatians

it says I Paul an apostle not of men neither by men man but by Jesus Christ so first and foremost my identity Paul's identity Paul who do we know Paul to be Paul's name also translated Saul was a Pharisee and he was a Pharisee that legitimately was persecuting the church killing Christians up and down left and right and he had had a Divine Encounter With Jesus Christ on the road to Damascus another space that he was going to to persecute more Christians in that encounter God comes to him in a flashing light that blinds him and he hears the voice of God and the Lord asked him this is in

Acts chapter 9 why are you persecuting excuse excuse me okay now go read Acts chapter 9 and you're going to see Paul's testimonial this not what this video is on if I touch on that we're going to be here for an an hour some of y'all ain't got an hour I got an hour but some of you ain't got an hour that's not today's message but in that road regardless of his background I got another video coming out about how God will employ you despite your background check your faulty background check According To Jesus many of us have a faulty background check I know I do I should be the

last person preaching on Youtube I should be the last person serving you all trying to help you all I should be the last person I got to put my hands up first my background check looks nasty okay and y'all are going to get to notice as y'all keep watching these videos but God has really delivered me from a whole bunch of things and um so Paul receives his call to be an apostle not because that's something he would have ever did okay he was in basically in Judaism the first five books of the Bible he was a scholar he was a student that was him he knew more as a

Pharisee than many of the Pharisees of his time he was never in his own flesh going to to become an apostle for Jesus Christ a minister for the Lord you couldn't have called him that so when he receives this call I want you to look in Galatians okay in Galatians we look at chapter 1: 18 in verse 17 when he receives this call in verse 17 he says neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were Apostles before me but I went up to Arabia and returned again unto Damascus then after 3 years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter Peter as we know in the Bible is

he's an uneducated man he's a common man but he is a individual that is bold okay one of the words used for Peter is he's a bold individual for Jesus Christ Peter was called to speak to the people who were circumcised he was called to speak to the Jews and him and John often you see their name together are going out boldly proclaiming the gospel to the Jews that they may repent and receive Jesus Christ what's so interesting about why Paul would not go immediately to see Peter after his revelation of being an apostle somebody's going to be on fire for Jesus Christ planting churches is is because most likely

Peter would have denied the call on Paul's life knowing what he knew about Paul and killing and persecuting the churches and also Paul's Ministry is quite different than Peter's because Paul is introducing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles the Gentiles were the uncircumcised they were not the Jews and it was it was according to Peter first before Jesus Christ gave a revelation to Peter of not don't call what's in a in a vision don't call what's unclean that I've called clean don't call it unclean stop calling these Gentiles and these people who I accept unclean I I want them to receive me this is Paul's Ministry Paul is

for the Gen he has the Holy Ghost he's been called to go out and preach to the Gentiles in these three years he is doing just that and not only in those three years he's hearing from God more he's studying the Bible the word of God the Lord is giving him Revelation now at his time of course they didn't have the the full complete Bible cuz we know how many books Paul end up writing for Christ but he is being educated by God himself he is being reassured by God himself then after that reassurance he goes to see Peter and then he will leave again for a whole 14 years

to go do the ministry work of preaching to the Gentiles before he returns again to Jerusalem why is this important to know I'm I'm bridging up this introduction why is this important to know it's important to know my leaders because regardless of your background check when you get this Encounter With Jesus Jesus Christ Jesus sets you down a whole entirely New Journey that many people close to you or who used to KN know you for what you used to do they may not understand they don't know who you are how does this connect to Jesus Christ thank you for asking thank you for asking well I want to lead us

to some scriptures here some addresses for us to read Because I find this very astonishing you know we think about Joseph in the Bible in the Old Testament and how his brothers pretty much they didn't like the vision that Joseph had so much so that they wanted to kill him all right that's a whole another video whole another story my Bible readers y'all know the story cuz that connects to Jesus Christ as well if you open your Bible we see that first and foremost Jesus Christ had brothers and Jesus Christ had sisters yes he has sisters they don't name the names but I want us to take us to this

address here we know about James so they always say James the Lord Brothers James but I want us to go to just so y'all can read this with me real quick if you go to Mark chapter 6 6 okay and you go to verse three it says is this not the carpenter the son of Mary the brother of James and Joseph and Judah and Simon and are not his sisters with us so Jesus Christ had brothers and Jesus Christ had sisters okay he had a family and if you go to John Chapter 7 and you go to verse 5 5 okay it reads for neither did his Brethren believe in

him before and in the beginning of the ministry of Jesus Christ your lord and savior the one that you love dearly the one that you serve initially my leaders his own Brothers do not believe in in him they don't believe in this this miraculous miraculous work they don't believe in him being the savior in the Messiah after all you're our brother we you came out of you came out of our mother's womb we grew up with you and here's what it says in and this is so good ronas let's read Mark again okay I want to read Mark again because I need us to really get this so that we

can understand this message and I want y'all to see kind of like the disrespect that he's getting I turn my Bible like I was eating eating chicken this is meal this is food right now Jesus is rejected in Nazareth here's is the thing about being in close proximity to your own country there's a verse in the Bible where it talks about how a prophet only in his own home and his own town is he not honored and it's because of the close proximity people think that they know you all right one thing that people can't see when you go to sleep right now they can't see a dream that God

has gave they can't see that you could be wide awake drifting and God gives you a vision people can't see the vision that God is giving you when you're out doing your ministry work or you're helping and you're serving people often times unless you declare what you've been doing people don't really know who you are and the things that you actually do and check this out in Mark chapter 6 this is when he goes back to Nazareth his disciples are with him as well too it says his disciples follow him and if you go to verse two it says and when the Sabbath day was come he began to teach

in the synagogue and many hearing him were astonished saying from whence had this man these things and what wisdom is this which is given unto him that even such Mighty works are wrought by his hands so where did he get this wisdom where did he get this power where did he get this Authority why are these people listening with him to him with so much astonishment and it says this in verse three is not this the carpenter yo he's just a carpenter he's not a lawyer he's not a doctor he's not the mayor he ain't even a tax collector they like Tax Collectors back then but he's just a carpenter

it says is not this the carpenter one thing before I read the rest of that verse is that how funny is it that often times we can also be judged judged ridiculed because of our occupation the authority and the power that God has blessed you with it's a spiritual spiritual power it's an anointing it's the anointing when you receive Jesus Christ as your lord and savior and you're baptized with the Holy Ghost you receive this power and you receive this Authority and it has nothing to do with your occupation I need you to understand that because I had to understand that Michael Michael wait wait wait wait wait wait wait

I know you're Nigerian and in your Nigerian culture you were just about to be a pharmacist okay and it would have been nothing wrong with you being a pharmacist but your Pharmacy degree becoming a pharmacist wouldn't have qualified you you being a doctor right now it wouldn't have qualified you the qualifications I could have worked in the meat department of Kroger somewhere I could have been a clerk at a gas gas station I could be Mowing and Laing mowing somebody's grass it's not about my title it's not about your title it's about the one that you and I receive as our Lord and savior baptized by the Holy Spirit Jesus

Christ is a carpenter and how often is it that because of our occupation and what we do and how much money we make start dancing what we do how much money we make all of these things that we get judged as though we're not who God says we are it's not about your occupation he says this is this not the carpenter son the son of Mary the brother of James and are not his sisters here with us and are they and they were offended next verse but Jesus said unto them a prophet is not without honor but in his own country and among his own kid and in his own

house he said and he could D do not Mighty Mighty Works save that he laid his hands upon a sick fellow and healed him he couldn't do many works because of their unbelief hey you'll be you'll be a prophet my leader for God I have an anointing to preach and Minister have an in in Evangelical spirit and be a teacher or be called an apostle and want to do so much work in your own family but won't be able to do the work in your family because they don't know who you are they've seen you grow up they've seen your flaws they've seen your errors they've seen your old ways

they've seen some of the things that you've done that is unfruitful okay they've seen you in your Humanity they've seen you cry they've seen you shed these tears they've seen you get angry they've seen you bleed you are as human as they are and rightfully so you are the only difference is my leaders since your mother's womb God has Sanctified you and he's ordained ordained and he set you apart to be what he wants you to be and so the time comes where you receive Jesus Christ as your lord and savior baptized in the Holy Spirit and all of a sudden now like Paul who has this encounter no longer

does it matter what he's done in the past he's been reborn when we receive Jesus Christ we become this new Creator I wanted to say creation and creature so I said creation we become this new creation in Christ Jesus and all of a sudden some Clicks in our life where we begin to do the things that we never used to do before we begin to move like we've never used to move before and we've been given power and we've been given Authority is what the Bible says my leaders they don't know who you are and so Paul he leaves and goes to Arabia 3 years before he goes to speak

to Peter and he's hearing from God he's studying and he's doing the work that he's called to do one thing that you need to be engaged in doing my leaders after you've been called by God is to keep praying to the Lord begin fasting begin praying to the Lord for more clarity more Direction more understanding not understanding that comes from here but understanding that comes from the Holy Spirit the holy spirit will confirm this call the Bible will continuously give you the confirmation that you need because the last thing that you want to do is hear from God and he's showing you something and he's telling you something and then

you go to people and they deny your call they deny who you're supposed to be because they don't believe that that's who you're called to be and so now in Galatians it speaks about this am I now trying to please men or am I trying to please God okay am I now trying to please man or am I trying to please God you want to please God first and foremost and do you know by pleasing God God loves you and he loves your family he loves this world which is why he sent his only begotten son here to die to become the Savior Jesus his name means means salvation so

that we can have eternal life with the father but also while we're here we can have victory over the wicked schemes that are in Dark Places high places not in this earth realm but in spiritual places that's why prayer is so important fasting is important but God wants you to have the victory but he also wants you to do his will so that's my leader they don't know who you are because it's kind of strange how you moving now it's kind of strange what God has been doing behind closed doors for you it's kind of strange all the stuff that you started to give up it's kind of strange how

you speaking now in your heavenly tongue now it's kind of strange how you serving and loving people when before you ain't love people like you used to you ain't love people like this you never gave the way that you giving now you never held your tongue back the way that you holding your tongue back you fleeing now from fights instead of running towards the fight you're a different creation you're a new creature so if you're hearing the sound of my voice right now I just want to confirm that they don't know who you are but Jesus Christ knows who you are he is the author of your faith he's written

down the whole game plan he knows who you're to become and who you will be and it looks glorious and he knows that you're going to get from the glory just because in your immediate family or your surrounding you feel like man you feel like an outcast don't worry keep going out into the world because that's what God has called you to go out into the world make disciples and baptize in the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost you're called to preach the gospel as as Witnesses heal the blind heal the brokenhearted find those that are lost sheep and bring them home you have work to

do and the work you do does not stop because the people that you may care about don't know who you are Jesus Christ absolutely cared about his brothers and his sisters but he more importantly cared to do what the father heavenly father was calling him to do so my leaders today do not be discouraged because they don't know who you are Jesus Christ knows who you are and that's all that matters you want to be known by him you want to when you see the father you want to hey good and faithful servant you want him to say Well done but it starts with pleasing God this year and go

out with boldness and do everything that God has been calling you to to do this video is a sign let's pray heavenly father in the mighty name of Jesus CHR in the name of Jesus Heavenly Father Lord I bind right now any Spirit of insecurity any Spirit of doubt that is on my leader right now today and we cast it off of him in the name of Jesus and we ignite and we magnify and we exort and we encourage Lord the identity that you've given this leader Lord let them walk with bold this season let them walk with authority this season let them walk with courage knowing that they are

exactly who you have called them to be and for those watching this video Hallelujah that do not know their identity yet Lord may they begin to ask you fervently earnestly for you to reveal who they are in you not in theirselves not to their family members not to their Community but to you who have you called them to to be and who have you said that they are may they walk in this power somebody needs them to walk in their calling somebody needs them to walk in that anointing somebody needs healing from them somebody needs a word from them somebody needs encouragement from them somebody needs a prayer from them

God we need this leader to be everything that you've called them to be so God I'm praying this prayer right now that it may touch them with conviction God that this is the year in Jesus name that they stop looking for man's approval and they start looking for the approval of God Jesus Christ and God anybody who's watching this video and they have not given themselves to Jesus Lord may they lift them hands up God and declare that today I Surrender and I submit today Lord as a sinner I ask you Lord I ask you Lord to receive me in your kingdom I I believe that Jesus died on the

cross for me and Rose I believe that you are the Son of God hallelujah I believe Lord and I ask for you to be my Lord and my savior and I receive you through faith right now in the name of Jesus Jesus Hallelujah father God I thank you for this hour I thank you for this moment I thank you for this time father we surrender our life to you again today and we repent for any sin that we've done already to disrespect you Lord we repent God and we ask that you would heal us heal our wounds heal our broken hearts God heal the distractions Lord and let us follow

you with such a passion that we've never had before moving forward Lord we just want to say that we love you and we thank you for guarding us we thank you for protecting us God we need your guidance Heavenly Father we love you we thank you and it's in Jesus mighty name that we pray amen amen amen hallelujah my leaders I love you but Jesus Christ loves you more we'll see you in the next video yeah
