• You are being send forth by Jesus 
• Not out of conscience, courage and responsibility
• But being courageous led by HS - despite our conditions, doing things that transcends ourselves 
• When hardship comes, that is the best opportunity to experience the HS
• He makes it able for you, not about your own strengths. 
• When share the gospel, can bring the demonstration of the spirit's power 

Prayer. Is working beyond your feeling

HS is working in you, compelling you to work in his will

For when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, since I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! If I preach voluntarily, I have a reward; if not voluntarily, I am simply discharging the trust committed to me. (1 Corinthians 9:16, 17 NIV)

If you cannot do the will of god, keep dwelling in the gospel, for you do not know the word enough. For you will be able to do the will if you know it enough

Use everything in you to follow Christ. Don't be occasional Christian. 

Nail your flesh to the cross, so that everything in me will be in sync with the HS

You are born again in Christ, this is real me, who wants to follow Christ.

The old me is always in resistance to following Christ. 

So nail your old me (flesh) on the cross again and again.

So that one day, what you have in you belongs to the real you who follows Christ.

What then is my reward? Just this: that in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge, and so not make full use of my rights as a preacher of the gospel. Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law), so as to win those not having the law. To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings. Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize. (1 Corinthians 9:18-27 NIV)

1. I am compelled to preach (share the gospel) 
   1. 1. There is a greater power than his self will 
         • Stop looking at your 'I am able vs not able'
         • HS is genuine, cannot be imitated. You need to experience it
      2. Become all things to all man -> so that I can save them
         • We are often inclined to certain sorts of people
         • We have our own perception about man and who we like to be with 
         • Power of HS will make you becoming all things to all man, he can remove this invisible difference (at work, family, church)
         • Instead of being acussed of not able to love, dwell in the HS and one day you becomes to be one who is able to transcend yourself (pray about it)
      3. I do not want to use my rights (as a leader, preacher, pastor - just gospel)
         • If you present the gospel correctly, the people will be transformed by it
2. What is the gospel that Paul has understood and compelled him to preach
   • We all fell to the ground, and I heard a voice saying to me in Aramaic, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’ “Then I asked, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ “ ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,’ the Lord replied. ‘Now get up and stand on your feet. I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen and will see of me. I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’ “So then, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the vision from heaven. That is why some Jews seized me in the temple courts and tried to kill me. But God has helped me to this very day; so I stand here and testify to small and great alike. I am saying nothing beyond what the prophets and Moses said would happen— (Acts 26:14-19, 21, 22 NIV)
   1. You have become the most loved , blessed in Christ (identity as COG)
      • The pain and sufferings is because you want to get love and blessings the physical way, your way. But you are already loved and blessed in Christ no matter how you do in this world, don't try to seek it your way 
   2. Most glorious purpose given to you - saving and ministering to the people. 
      • Building the kingdom (all your successes glory will be nothing and worthless if it is not used for the kingdom)
   3. You are given the absolute help of the HS
      • When your concern is not on the kingdom, you start to worry headlessly
      • We tend to confine lord's help to certain ways 
      • 2 tim: The Lord stood by me (before the lion's, judge)
      • Seek it with careful obedience - you will see Lord's help in every way 
3. Pray
   • Why you pray? We pray because we know we are prone to forget the truth, the problems torment us, our failures affect us, not a fervent person, but seeing the need to entrust in him 
   1. Pray accurately - by the truth, receive answers from the truth. Don't entertain your ideals or motives when you pray, especially when you are desperate
      1. If you don't restore Emmanuel now, you will never restore Emmanuel later
      2. Find Emmanuel now, live in it. 
      3. Pray until you are in sync with the answers (you have receive), don't ignore the unpeaceful feelings of not being in sync
      4. Pray knowing the core of the gospel, then you understand the bible correctly and receive answer correctly, and anxiety and unpeacefulness will be dealt with, you will be a happy person
   2. Pray till you act on your conviction (submission) until it becomes your nature 
   3. Pray till the Doors of evangelism open up for you
      • Not a task, but work of HS brought through by people who know the HS
