amen as you're standing in the presence of the lord by the way i'm amazed when you hear people say that they have never experienced the presence of god they've never felt the lord amen but as we make the journey through life in our hearts we find healing and our low points we find the grace of god to get us through and we have so much to thank the lord for and in the united states of america we take this weekend and especially tomorrow memorial day to pay tribute to the men and women who laid down their lives in service to our country that by their death we have life and by their sacrifice they purchased our freedom with their blood and i'm thankful for the united states of america with its imperfections i thank god for our great country and we make it better by our citizenship and by our prayers and by our support of what god ordained which is human government read romans 13 if you struggle with that idea don't be dissuaded or messed up by the cultural norms go back to your bible find out what it says in the history of our country 1 million 185 thousand 596 men and women lost their lives gave their lives to purchase our freedom one of those men was patrick lay the second who died 10 years ago this august during operation and during freedom in kandahar afghanistan his mom is part of our church family a gold star mom sister stephanie hernandez we appreciate brother art sister stephanie and we give honor to her today for the sacrifice that her son gave just one example of almost 1.2 million men and women in combat or in service to our country now if you would please open your bibles to the book of luke chapter 5. i'm not preaching on a memorial day theme today but i feel directed of the lord and i recognize that when you gather like this this many people and many more people watching online that there are so many needs there's no way humanly that one person could ever speak to every individual need but i've learned that the word of god and the spirit of god know exactly where we are and there is a word for you there is strength for you there's an answer for you today from the lord so if you had engaged my message today is a little more big picture that we get to share in this luke 5 1 new king james version so it was as a multitude pressed him about to hear the word of god that he stood by the lake of genesred also known as tiberius or galilee saw two boats standing by the lake but the fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets then he got into one of the boats which was simon simon peter and asked him to put out a little from the land and he sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat when he had stopped speaking he said to simon launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch but simon answered and said to him master we have toiled all night and caught nothing nevertheless at thy word i will let down the net and when they had done this they caught a great number of fish and their net was breaking so they signaled to their partners and the other boat to come and help them and they came and filled both the boats so that they began to sink and peter simon peter saw it he fell down at jesus's knees saying depart from me for i am a sinful man o lord for he and all who are with him were astonished at the catch of fish which they had taken and also was james and john the sons of zebedee who were partners with simon and jesus said to simon do not be afraid for now on you will catch men so when they had brought their boats to land they forsook all and followed him i'll announce my title later thank you for standing for worship and a long scripture reading god bless you you may be seated so glad that you are here today or engaged online from the word of god it is very clear that with god there are no accidents nothing and no one has ever sneaked up on god and caught him by surprise in the days of his flesh where he went what he did and what he said had incredible eternal significance jesus came on purpose and lived his life on purpose he did more things than i recorded in the scripture john wrote that if all the things that jesus did were written down the world itself could not contain the books that should be written but then he also said that the things that were recorded were written that we might believe that jesus is the christ the son of the living god and the believing you might have life through his name so when you read a story in the bible don't just read through it think about it visualize it ask god to give you insight from that story it was written for your salvation and for your spiritual education so this story is an amazing story in the bible a story of jesus he's near the sea of galilee and there are a lot of people wanting to hear him teach and preach it's in the days of popularity in his ministry and the bible said that they pressed him there were so many people around him that he didn't really get a good visualization of them and too many people to kind of teach like that and so he looked and there are two boats that were docked or beached on the edge of the shore of the sea of galilee and there was no one in those boats the fishermen had gone out of those boats to wash their nets now they were not there cleaning fish they were not pulling scales out of their nets they were pulling debris junk that gets in your nets while you're fishing on a bad day of fishing so i asked simon peter who owned this particular boat he got in a boat that belonged to simon peter and he asked him to push out a little ways from the shore and and simon peter did he got in the boat pushed out a little ways i don't know if he anchored or stayed there somehow and jesus now had a little distance between where he was and where the people were so they could see him and as he taught them his voice would carry across the water and up the hillside there on the shore of the sea of galilee and jesus taught and taught for how long we do not know simon peter was the captain of the boat he owned but now he's a captive audience he is on the boat with jesus waiting for jesus to finish teaching the bible doesn't say how simon felt about this entire incident but i was visualizing what it would feel like if i had fished all night and i've done that before and then the next day didn't get to go to sleep so there was frustration emptiness no catch now you've got to go beach the boat clean the nets hope you can get a little sleep before you go back to work the next night but we really don't know simon may have had a great attitude although we've seen in the bible that sometimes he did and other times he he didn't but nothing about that he's there but he has spent a fruitless night of fishing and now he's asked to help jesus so he's sitting on the boat and jesus is teaching and and the people evidently are enjoying this and i would like to think that simon peter was also captivated by the teachings of jesus christ he was a disciple he had followed jesus to cana of galilee but he was not a full-time follower he was had not left his business to go after jesus christ so at the end of the message that jesus taught and by the way jesus did a lot of teaching in the gospels jesus did a lot of teaching he established people in truth by teaching them the word of god and by applying it to their lives through stories illustrations and parables he was a very powerful teacher and preacher but now he's finished teaching and he has just borrowed simon's boat without asking him he didn't sign a liability release no waiver no rental agreement there was not such and such a price that they had agreed to and you know i was thinking about what jesus does sometimes he borrows your donkey so he could ride into the city of jerusalem he was kind of a borrower one time he borrowed a tomb for just a few days he borrowed simon's boat but then after class you can kind of feel the story that jesus wants to pay a little rent on the boat he may borrow and you may feel like he uses you but he will never owe you he will always make sure that he makes it worth your time to serve and give and go and do i don't really like to use the word sacrifice for what i do for him after his sacrifice for me so he tells simon peter class is over push out launch out into the deep and let down your nets jesus says nets for a catch get in some deeper water let down the nets now if you're simon peter he's a fisherman by trade he's a professional jesus as a carpenter by trade his father raised him in the art of carpentry and if you're simon peter right now you're probably thinking you don't know what you're talking about i fish you build furniture and i'm just going to tell you lord that uh let me give you a little dose of reality all right master we toiled all night and we didn't catch anything we went out in the deep we let down our nets we dragged them behind the boat we hauled them up and there was nothing but we're pretty tenacious we didn't stay for an hour we fished all night i don't know how many times they let down their nets drag them behind the boat hauled them back in all by hand but they did that all night long and according to what peter said they caught nothing not a single fish and peter and his fishing partners knew where to go when to go there and what to do and they fished all night and caught nothing now the sea of galilee called tiberius you know ganesarit is about 13 miles long about 8 miles wide but it is about 141 feet deep that's a pretty deep lake from a standpoint of sea level it is the lowest freshwater lake in the entire world the dead sea which is not fresh water is lower there's a fish called saint peter's fish that's what they call it i don't know if this is the kind of fish that they tried to net on the sea of galilee but i did some reading about modern commercial fishing on the sea of galilee seems to be down like right now about 11 years ago or so i think 2010 they released 600 000 tilapia into the sea of galilee and then later another 400 000 they're trying to bring back the fishery and it's possible that st peter's fish the fish that they were used to fishing for may have been tilapia i don't know it doesn't matter i can tell you two things about the fish that they caught innate they had fins and they had scales because they were jewish and they were not fishing for catfish just for what it's worth and the night before jesus shows up they've been at it all night long they've worked extremely hard and they struck out they got skunked i like to fish and and when i do i like to catch something and i don't like to quit until i do and sometimes i fish after some people are finished fishing because i don't like to come home empty-handed and i cannot imagine how simon peter james and john felt you know drop drag haul in repeat all night long and simon peter says this to jesus the non-fisherman but then he says to him never nevertheless at thy word i know you don't know much about fishing but i know you're the master he doesn't yet know that jesus is the master of the winds and the waves he doesn't yet know everything there is to know about the lordship of jesus christ that he is god in flesh this is very early on in his discipleship career but he understands the authority of jesus he has just heard amazing teaching from the word of god so he says lord nevertheless at your word i will let down the net he doesn't say nets he says net and so at this point i don't really know if he has faith if he's humoring the lord if he's acting on obedience you know sometimes we think that faith is an emotion that we have to feel something before we do something but the bible never says that faith is something you feel it is an act of obedience to the word of god so while you may think peter has no faith i think he has a lot of faith because he is doing what jesus said to do let me just pause here right now to say that in your life and your religious experience you may not feel one thing but if the holy bible says it if you will just do it and you'll say lord i don't understand it but nevertheless at your word i will let down the net i will live this life i will do whatever you tell me to do faith is not subject to reason it is not irrational but it is based on the supernatural not the natural it's not what you can see with your eye it's not what you can rationalize with your human mind god's word transcends whatever the circumstances are and when god performs a miracle he suspends the laws of nature it doesn't matter whether he heals a headache or cures cancer or raises the dead or opens a blinded eye or delivers you from an addiction when god acts it is always beyond the realm of reason and the natural it takes place in the deep waters of the supernatural you got to launch out in the deep and let down your nets now if you fish on the sea of galilee you typically fished at night in the daytime when the sun was out fish typically went down descended deeper into the water and at night when things cooled down they would surface and fish closer or on the surface of the lake that's why they typically were fishing at night and they were lowering their nets but but i can rest assured i can guarantee you rather that they didn't have nets that would reach 141 feet deep and then try to pull that up from the bottom so they're still trying to trying to catch fish that are near the surface simon knows that we don't cast our nets in the day they throw them out at night and we just did that by the way and fished all night i don't know the bible doesn't say was it the moon phase it was wrong was it a weather pattern that had the fish deeper but they could not net them they're not fishing with bait they're fishing with nets so it does not matter if the fish want to bite or not they just need them in the vicinity and they'll haul them in in their nests they've just done that all night long and it was futile so to the mind of peter and then james and john this is pointless to fish again and we know that there's no fish here now not in the day not right now we've been there done that tried it and it did not work at all so nevertheless at thy word just gonna be polite maybe he does have faith we don't really know he just has obedience so i think obedience and faith they're the same thing right you obey what god said faith is believing that god will do what he said he would do and jesus said watch out into the deep let down your nets for a catch so he does that all right you with me now so far wore that out really good verse 6. when they had done this they caught a great number of fish i know we just read this but now we're digging into this story we're visualizing what is going on it's daytime maybe the middle of the day heat of the sun they caught a great number of fish and their net was breaking it didn't completely break but i don't know if it was fraying in the main lines or down in the area of the netting you know there was not the kind of superior netting we would have today so now they've got so many fish that they signal their partners they whistle over to the shore and they call james and john out into the deep and and they start helping them they've got both their boats verse 7 says they came to help them and they filled both of their boats so that they were beginning to sink there were so many fish pulled out of the lake in the nets on the boat that the boats were sitting right at the water level just about to sink now simon peter knew that this was not just a lucky day that jesus didn't have a hunch and it paid off he understood that this was god in flesh now doing something that could not happen nets are breaking boats are sinking and peter falls down at the knees of jesus christ and he said lord get away from me i'm a sinful man i don't know if he had committed a lot of recent sins he was you know prone to say some bad words right swear and curse but he says lord i'm not worthy to be in your presence for for what you have just done and jesus said that they were astonished at the great catch that they had taken now that's an amazing story now there was another day another day in the life of peter and his interactions with jesus when it was time that the temple tax was due and evidently jesus and simon peter did not have enough money and jesus wanted to obey the the ceremonial law to pay the temple tax so he told simon peter you'll find this in the book of matthew 17. he said here's what i want you to do i want you to get your line get your rod get your reel probably didn't have a reel get your pole and i want you to go to the lake and i want you to cast in a line with a hook and then the very first fish you catch pull it up open its mouth you're going to find a coin in the fish's mouth take that coin and go pay the tax for you and for me now on this particular day luke chapter 5 our story if jesus had taught told peter to launch out in the deep if he would have said to peter get your pole get your line get your hook put your bait on lower it down over the side and if peter would have caught a single fish on that day he might have considered that a miracle it was certainly a miracle for there to be a coin in the fish's mouth even if it was not a miracle that he caught a fish god almighty caused a fish to pick up a coin and to be exactly where peter would throw in his line on that given day that he would catch it it had to be hungry right to eat and they would pay the tax for that so god can do anything right there's nothing too hard for god there's nothing beyond the scope of his governance he is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we can ask or think according to the power that works in us jesus could have done that on this day and i think simon peter would have fallen on his knees and said lord i'm a sinful man i can't believe that you allow me to catch a fish after we've had a feudal fruitless night of fishing but this story is proving something a lot bigger than whether or not jesus can help you catch a fish he says to them to not be afraid i'm going to do something for you that is going to show you a picture about the future that i have in store for you so they let down the net they catch so many fish luke 5 10 and 11. and so also for james and john sons of zebedee who were partners with simon and jesus said to simon do not be afraid from now on you will catch men and when they got back to shore peter james and john forsook their nets and they followed jesus christ now i want to ask you a question what do you think peter james and john would leave everything for to follow jesus christ do you think that they would leave boats and nets and business and father and mother they were very successful by the way they had hired servants they had boats they had nets plural these were not poor impoverished fishermen but they forsook all to follow him according to the bible what kind of a mental picture do you think that peter james and john had when jesus said look what just happened your net was breaking your boats were sinking and in the future you are going to catch men do you think that peter had a picture of sitting at a farm pond with the cane pole lowering down a red wiggler to try to catch a brim or a bluegill do you think that's a vision of what their future would be that the church dispensation was going to bring that they would have meager results and marginal success peter james and john knew that their future was going to be busy it was going to be work you were going to have to give everything you had it was going to be more than you can even imagine and god would give them more than they could handle in their human ability he was showing them a paradigm which is a model for something that you should be able to see let's review your view these verses i want you to see something here luke 5 6 and when they had done this they caught a great number of fish and their net was breaking everybody please say the net was breaking verse seven signaled to their partners the other boat to come help them and they came and filled both the boats so that they the boats began to sink everybody please say boats were sinking that's for breaking boats were sinking the next words of jesus to them are from now on or in the future you're going to catch men just like you just caught fish that's what verse 10 says all right he tells them the very last phrase from now on you will catch men in verse 11 when they brought their boats to land they forsook all and they followed him now here's my message today it is not just about the miraculous ability of jesus christ to cause peter james and john to catch so many fish it is about what he put in their mind about what their future would hold because jesus later would give the keys to the kingdom of heaven to peter he would open the kingdom of heaven with the keys of preaching on the day of pentecost they would begin to catch men and bring them in to the kingdom of god and i can assure you that simon peter never believed that it was going to be one little two little three little christians what he saw in his mind on the sea of galilee that day is that the church was going to be a net breaking boat sinking revival it was going to be something that was big and fast beyond your comprehension it was going to be something that would stretch your resources and require your best efforts it would be big it would not be small it would be beyond your wildest comprehension and it would be worth walking away from whatever you left to go after him why don't you thank him for the promise of this oh we ought to thank the lord that he gave us a big promise a big promise amen know sometimes we think that church growth and church leadership is a hook and a line operation but it's one pastor maybe his wife they're sitting on the creek bank of lost humanity and they're trying to use the right bait to attract the right kind of fish you know targeted a particular demographic and they're going to reel that one person in one at a time and and then it's going to be one little two little three little christians and then it's going to be us 4 and when we get to us 4 we're going to say no more because we like it small manageable controllable family owned and operated safe easy not so messy don't have to spend so much time trying to clean the fish you caught that's a lot of work think small stay small you may think that churches grow one person at a time but the picture that jesus painted in our passage today was not of a hook and line operation he said let down your nets get out in the deep you're going to catch so many fish it may start with one but it may extend to a family a community a nation the early church in acts on the inaugural day on day one 120 and in 3 000 souls on a single day i know they had sown a lot of seed and jesus had done a lot of ministry for pentecost to happen it was not an accident it was not an isolated event but what we celebrated last sunday with pentecost sunday portiz what the church dispensation is going to be like it will be a net breaking a boat seeking revival it will be bigger than you can hold you may have to give up your seat or your parking spot you may have to move over you may have to build a bigger building or start something different it's going to be a net breaking boat seeking revival i believe this because it is a promise of god not because i can fathom it in my human mind not because i think i can manage it or make it happen in my ability or in our collective ability but i'm standing here on the word of god to tell you that this was the paradigm for the church dispensation that it would be a net-breaking boat-seeking revival that would break out of all the cultural norms all the demographic barriers acts four and four five thousand disciples act six and one the number of disciples was multiplied in jerusalem greatly historians say as many as 30 000 believers in the churches in jerusalem at its peak mostly a a monocultural church a jewish primarily jewish church of hellenists and and hebrew greek but they're all they're all jews until it breaks out then then you go to samaria there's great joy in that city it is a city-wide revival and then in acts 9 i'm going to stay in these first 10 chapters of acts because this is focused more on the ministry of the apostle peter there's a healing of a man named inaeus and let me pause right here that god can heal let us call for the elders of the church anoint with oil pray for the sick i believe that god heals saints amen but the gospel many places the door of the gospel for salvation was opened by a notable miracle the miracle was not just for the end result of healing a single person it was for the result of proving that the word of god was true he confirmed his word with signs following and when inaudible in acts chapter 9 the bible said that all that dwelt and litter and share and heard him and turned to the lord it was not just inaeus or his family or his wife but it was an entire area where there was a tremendous revival a net breaking boat sinking revival when tabitha also named dorcas is raised from the dead in acts 9 42. the bible said that many believed in the lord many believed in the lord and i wonder how the apostle peter felt in acts chapter 10 when he is at the household of cornelius and he realizes that god is no respecter of persons he has preached on the day of pentecost that is for you your children all that are far off even as many as the lord our god shall call those that are afar off the gentile peoples he preaches that in acts 2. he struggles with it in acts chapter 10 and he's just there preaching the word of god and as far as we know for the first time gentiles non-jewish people receive the gift of the holy ghost while he is still preaching that's kind of a breakout moment right the gentiles receive the holy ghost while he is preaching i don't know what went through his mind but if it would have been me and i watched those those gentiles the entire household not just his immediate family servants and everybody that worked with cornelius they're all talking in tongues he will baptize them in the name of the lord jesus christ for the remission of sins if it would have been me my mind would have gone back to when jesus gave me a challenge gave me an invitation showed me a picture of what could be and would be after the day of pentecost when i simon peter let down my net worth had no idea that it could really happen i just did what jesus said and then there they were so many fish swimming curling twisting in the nets and that's about to break and bring them in the boat and net full i don't know how many nets falling and the boats just right there at the water line about to sink peter knew that what jesus had promised had come to pass in the book of acts in the early days of the church that he indeed gave them a net breaking boat sinking revival it was net breaking that their old systems and structures could not contain them it was boat sinking it stretched their resources it was bigger than they could even fathom but for all of that they were able to get the fish to shore now i have to tell you that when the lord i preached about this in 2003 have not preached it since my notes were terrible i didn't like him i started over when i when i preached about this and then the lord brought this back to preach today i thought oh lord it's memorial day weekend everybody's got grilled hot dogs on their mind they don't have net breaking boat sinking revival on their mind it's memorial day weekend but i'm just launching into the deep and letting down my net today praise god i also know where we are we've had 14 stinking months right of covid we didn't even have in-person services from march through may and then midweek was online only i don't even remember when we started that again and then the attendance was limited social distancing wear a mask and some people didn't want to come with all that and it was not easy right we've not had everybody here still we have not had a lot of guests thank god for the celebration of what's with the party today of so many people receiving the holy ghost and being baptized in jesus name last sunday we've been doing that for 20 years or so and it's been an amazing run of what god has done but i guess i'm just here to tell you that god is not finished with us that his promises still stand they are yes and they are amen and what he promised in the day of pentecost and what joel said in the last days i will pour out of my spirit upon all flesh so i'm just standing here in the faith of obedience to god and saying lord give us a net breaking boat sinking revival do it again do it again do it again help us get over covered complacency help us roll up our sleeves help us put out the nets help us launch out in the deep help us re-engage with the mission of the church hallelujah i think we've gotten used to somewhat of a slower pace and i'm not preaching today that we should have a frenzy the frenetic life that has no rhyme or reason no rhythm to it but if we as a church local and global if we see the revival that god promised and he gave peter james and john a glimpse of in luke 5. and it will be a net-breaking boat sinking revival i thought about the significance of this weekend memorial day you know i don't believe that 1.2 million men and women gave their lives so we could squander or surrender our freedom silently to a pagan culture amen i don't believe they gave their lives for that and i know that jesus christ is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance and i don't believe he gave his life for churches that would be dead and dry and stagnant amen not growing he gave his life for a church amen he gave his life that he would give us thousands and millions of people that would come into the kingdom of god ones and twos and tens and hundreds and thousands and cities a net breaking boat sinking revival [Applause] would you please stand in 2021 we have better nets than we have ever had before we can sit down one-on-one or we can send a tweet an instagram post we can put it on facebook we can teach a bible study by zoom we can stream our services and the content will go around the world we've got better nets than we've ever had before let's use them for the glory of god and that's them foolishness last week in the state of wisconsin united pentecostal church jim booker the district superintendent they had they had a statewide crusade in the milwaukee area brother josh herring preached that crusade some of you saw reports on facebook but i started texting brother herring the week after you know during the week and just saying congratulations i'm so excited for what god did in wisconsin he started texting me back you know just sending me information he said we had 500 guest cars at that crusade 72 baptized in the arena 12 to 15 at satellite locations isn't that amazing wisconsin you know dairyland he said 50 people testified that they were healed we had 300 people filled with the baptism of the holy ghost in the arena but then his next text he said there were 700 deal with the holy ghost in mexico in mexico just throw that net to mexico that's that's deep right from wisconsin to mexico he said then in spain he said it was an amazing thing it was two o'clock in the morning and in spain they reported that 11 people were filled with the baptism of the holy ghost in spain during the crusade in milwaukee area wisconsin [Applause] wow so when we say would you please comment like and share this service with people we're serious about what can happen when we say when you leave today would you please go buy those bins and take two business cards and share them with someone this week that you run into when we talk about bible studies and discipling saved people that have just come into the kingdom of god we are not just playing church and for all of our challenges with our own abilities and all of the chunk that we've been through you know i'm just talking about covet and all of that i choose to stand on the word of god and i believe that jesus wanted to show simon peter when you walk away from those nets and you walk away from those boats and you walk away from the security of the present to march into an uncertain future let me just give you a glimpse of what it's going to be it's going to be really really big it's going to be more than you've ever seen or done in your entire life it's going to be the impossible made possible by my miraculous power in places where you think there's no fish oh guess what your nets can break your boats can sink it's going to be something beyond your wildest imagination jesus said here's what you need to do you need to lift up your eyes you've been looking down on your own stuff you need to lift up your eyes and you need to look on the fields now these are not fish now they're fields it's a different illustration of the same idea more than one field more than one crop more than one race culture language group for they are ripe he uses the word white in the king james they're already ripe to harvest in revelation john sees people that made it to heaven now i know jesus said it's a skinny gate in a narrow way and you've got to find eternal life you've got to want to go to heaven to get there but in revelation john sees a great multitude that no one could number they're like one two three four five no that's not working 10 20 30 40 nope that's not working 100 2 3 nope that's 1000 2 3 4 5 thousands no man could count them they were from nations and kindreds and people and tongues and they were all standing before the throne of god and they were all dressed in white robes signifying the righteousness of god yet people will live holy they're in heaven in this picture and they're in white robes the righteousness of god and they've got palm branches in their hand not weeping willows they've got branches celebrating victory in their hand that's what heaven is going to look like so don't second-guess it when jesus says i'm going to give you a net-breaking boat-sinking revival why don't we thank the lord for the promise of his word [Applause] but but where are you today are you swimming around in the sea of selfishness and your own life or have you been brought into the net of

you pray and respond to the lord i just wanted to kind of issue a challenge if jesus gets in your boat or your car your mind it gives you a directive it's really an invitation to the supernatural give you an opportunity to get out of the shallow water to the deep to give you an opportunity to not just catch what you can catch which is usually nothing and see what he can do [Music] to allow us to be partners with him laborers together with god so not just this week but this week if you feel prompting of the spirit in your mind god will never ask you to do anything that violates the bible so don't worry about that [Music] but if he prompts you why don't you just start rowing into the deep just see let's see what god will do let's consecrate ourselves to his service this week amen lord i thank you for the great promises that you have given us that you've allowed us to share lord all those fish lord they got to have they were part of a great miracle but they were blessed by that miracle lord i know you want to bless your people in miraculous ways beyond our comprehension give us faith to believe your word to dare god to obey knowing lord that you will never be indebted to us that you will bless us lord for obedience to you in jesus name i pray commission us lord to be ambassadors for you wherever we go lord to make a difference in this world and help us lord increase our faith and believe you lord for the type of church the type of revival the dimension of god the scope that is beyond what we can control or manage or even ask or think do it lord i pray in jesus name oh lord we want to cooperate with you in jesus name
