When the Kingdom Comes in a City || Sunday Sermon Kris Vallotton

How wonderful that he used the engine metaphor in this message years ago, and in his most recent sermon he shared about his trip to Oxford and met an inventor who just made a better engine and Bethel influenced him.😊👍🥳

This needs to be taught again and again, preferably with the kind of anointing Kris carries.

Loved it. Especially about the Rolls Royce engines. I grew up in Miami. We had a manufacturing plant at the old side, of the airport. Not sure if it is still there.

Would it be crazy for someone with a troubled history/extreme difficulty in past speaking in front of crowds to pursue the idea of preaching? It has been incredibly hard for me to speak in front of groups of people in the past, specifically the last time I did was in 8th grade when I had to read an essay I wrote, I was the best writer in the class, but when I was in front of a class of 50 people I froze and choked completely and couldn't even read the paper, and quickly progressed into a full blown panic attack (the first real one I had). Now that I am 25 I think it could be much different, but I haven't even tried since then, a lot has happened to me this past year though and I feel a calling telling me that I can reach and connect with people that would never have given God a chance, let alone entertain the thought that Jesus was God on earth, but not because they aren't the type of person that God wants in his kingdom, but because they can't fathom the existence of God due to certain trauma, but something is telling me that the reason I was made to suffer (at the time) seemingly senselessly to the point where I questioned God's existence/intentions or if he actually loved me is so that I could have a unique connection with God that I can share with those who have been through similar experiences but weren't raised as a believer.. It is only my upbringing that kept Jesus and God in my heart, even if only at the back of my mind at points, it took God giving me many prophetic warnings over a couple weeks, that my father was in danger, which I attributed to random anxiety because there was no reason for me to think anything would be really wrong, something that would put him in danger.. A month after I *ironically* chose not to worry, to have faith, and trust in God, my father fell victim to an accidental and fatal fentanyl overdose because he left rehab and relapsed because he was grieving over my great grandmother.. Not saying that I could have done anything, because he ultimately isolated himself and left no way to get in contact with him, but if only I trusted my instinct and tried to look, maybe God would have led me to him.. but the moral is, that I likely would not have been a die hard Christian like I am if not for God revealing himself to me like he did.. When I was told what happened to my father I almost had a full on mental breakdown, like a meltdown that ends with a month in a mental hospital, but the first thing I thought of and did when I was able to collect a thought amidst my trembling body and faucets for eyes, was to call for God.. My voice breaking and cracking, I could only muster the word "God" and it was like he hugged me, and even though my dad had just died alone and broken, I felt nothing bad, no sadness or despair, my tears even instantly stopped, he instantly and thoroughly pacified me and became my surrogate dad in a sense.. Like he is Father God, but he also took up the mantle as my dad and is teaching me at least some of the lessons that I had yet to learn from my biological father.. and now it seems so obvious to me that I need to help some of the people who are damaged like I was to find the love in God and Jesus, but I don't know how to approach public speaking, I don't want to have another disaster like when I was younger, but I don't know how to even start on this path to becoming the spiritual leader that he is telling me to become.. Do you have any advice or can you point me in the right direction? And how would you approach attempting public speaking again if you were in my shoes? If you get the time to read this I would be eternally grateful for any words you can give me, if your gut is saying something please share it with me, that could be the holy spirit speaking, or at least that's how it speaks to me.. instinct is powerful. Thank you for your time and God bless you.. Also, last thing, don't sugar coat whatever you want to say, if your first instinct is to be critical, then I want the truth, even if it is brutally honest. I hope you have a wonderful day

You just reflected Kris's actual story. Go look up Kris's testimony. He couldn't read nor write and he got (and still sometimes gets) extreme anxiety about his sermons, yet still he chooses to trust the God who inspires his heart.

I also hope you have a wonderful day as well
