Sermon by guest pastor, Ps Leon Fontaine

Offering song: People Need The LORD "At the end of broken dreams, He's the open door." 🎤😮 Ps Leon Fontaine - one of the four pillars of TBN There's a term God gave him a while ago. Unless the church becomes both spiritually alive and contemporary relevant to the places we are and people we speak to, the church will struggle otherwise Need to be spiritually filled with His joy, peace, grace, knowledge and remember the HS flows through us. Don't embarrass God. Don't say or do things that are condescending. To be spirit contemporary. Talk about HS today. Leon's dad was a pastor and he spent 14y working under the ministry. Supported himself for 7y as a paramedic. The church he was in had a beautiful worship ambience. One night was called to the scene of a horrible accident. Child lying faced down in a ditch. Passed away. Mother and another child were hanging by their seat belts. As he looked in the water and saw the blood in the water. He heard the mother crying and groaning. Something in him cried out to God. We need the power of Jesus here in the ditch more than we need in the church last night. He was raised in a church where they said the HS was a dove. Bible didn't say HS is a dove. Moves like a dove. They felt like if u made too much noise, the HS would fly away. Too excited or loud the HS would leave. So ushers tried to control the noise and people. No worship team and a crying mum and a ditch. No ushers to control the scene. No worship team. Most preachers would lose their anointing in the face of such a terrible scene. He prayed God I want your miraculous to fill me and God spoke clearly to him. I want to teach u to move in the things of the Spirit outside the four walls of the church. U folks where u work don't have a band to play P&W music when u want to pray for a colleague. U won't have a choir following you everywhere. U need to know God has designed u such that the HS is in you and is released in the miraculous even if no one but u is around. Leon's dad was 14-15yo and given 3y to live. His great grandma dragged him to a service where there was a healer and he was completely healed. He was so passionate for God and the HS would often guide him to stop at houses to pray for healing for people. He was just driving by a home when he sensed someone was dying and that he should pray for them. They had just fetched their dad home to die from the hospital. They had just put their dad on the couch. He was sent to die at home. Leon's dad shared the story of the finished work with them and he was able to receive his miracle. He was instantly healed and his 8 kids were all saved because of ONE miracle. When the spirit of truth has come, He will guide u into all truth. Whatever he uses he will speak and he will tell u things to come. We have a lot of knowledge of the Spirit but it stops us from flowing. The HS doesn't decide not to heal people today. He wants to flow forth from us into other people. To guide us with incredible accuracy as to who, when, how. A witness is someone who has witnessed something. The HS will send u to witness to others. What has God done for u? How has he given u peace or broken an addiction that enslaved u formerly? How has he healed u? Your job isn't to figure out why good people died. U share what u have witnessed/ experienced... What u have seen. The former ministry he worked under thought the fivefold ministry = pros, laity= rookies. No. In the OT, priests and prophets had anointing. In NT, we ALL have Jesus the anointed one who is in us. I didn't get all of Jesus and u got half or quarter of him. HS Power- inherent, permanent, inseparable. Can be released and never leaves. THE HS POWER we receive is to help us have moral excellence and spiritual excellence. When u are a born again believer, u could handle anything and be guided to excel in that area. Not just from church platform. Everywhere u go, the HS will flow. Empowered to prosper us at work. Anchor mind and heart in the Word to see miracles take place. Leon's parents had a sense of humour. He has twin brothers called Rock and Roll. If they bring drugs or anything contraband at home, she would walk right to where the things were hidden and flush them down the toilet. They knew mum and dad were guided by the HS. He could not do a wigglesworth and throw people against the wall and yell out LIVE! He would quietly go into rooms to pray for patients and saw miracle after miracle take place. Once Elsie, someone working in church, fell and busted her hip. She won't let the doctors touch her until he prayed for her. He went there and the doc and nurses were tensed. He prayed. After the procedure they scanned her and she was healed. After he left, her foot turned the right way around. But it was way too short. Then she cried, God. The leg extended and clicked in place. They have X-rays to prove this miracle. Once Leon was preparing and reading at a restaurant and felt he wasn't allowed to go out that door. Turned and went to the kitchen and got into his car. He turned the corner and saw two men standing outside the restaurant with a knife. He has received death threats before and the HS guided him to safety. Presence of God is in us. We need to be aware and let Him flow through us and to touch others for Him. Once he felt he had to back to work. He was supposed to go home for supper. But obeyed. As he arrived, saw a hubcap spinning. Car accident. The guy was dead. Heart stopped. Leon breathed in him and said LIVE in Jesus' name. The attendants didn't do any CPR. Leon was weirded out so followed them back to hospital. Asked medics and they said he had a normal heart beat. Leon visited him. He was in bed and not responding. Leon went three nights to share about Jesus to him. He asked the guy if u can hear me, blink twice. He blinked twice. And he managed to communicate with the guy and get him to receive Jesus. Went back the next day, the guy wasn't around. He had passed away that night. Leon was able to share Jesus with the man so he could escape hell and make Heaven. He could have died unsaved but was able to receive Jesus before passing away. At a university, he prayed. A ton of things happened. A lady began to scream. Her 12yo girl with braces felt pain through her leg and they pulled the braces off because it hurt. Her leg was perfectly healed. Another corner a lady who carved words calling herself horrible things, horribly demonically possessed, the very scars that formed the words disappeared. They took her to the toilet and checked and ALL the scars and words on her body were gone. God had touched and healed her. The world that we speak to need Jesus so bad. I was with u in the demonstration of the power of God. I want u to know that around u there are people who want to take their lives, people need the LORD. Some dress nice but are dying inside. And if only someone could see that. Leon went to Starbucks and if anyone stands out to him, that's HS nudging him. He went to speak to a guy whom the HS nudged him to check out. Didn't join him and go GOD ASKED ME TO SPEAK TO U. Be contemporary, be cool and be relevant. He just asked politely if he could join him. They chatted and Leon asked hey u look down, are u ok? The guy shared that his wife was lying in the hospital and dying. Leon said the church he goes to, they pray for people who aren't well. Asked if they could pray for her. Got her name and they parted ways. When he returned two months later to the same cafe, he walked in and this guy calls out to him. He heads over. Leon forgot who he was. He shared that he went back to the hospital after the coffe break, the doctors who said she was hopeless, they suddenly were able to treat her and in a week's time she went home healthy and cancer free. U don't have to be a pastor for God to use you. A pastor is like a coach. The coach should be on the bench and the players, the saints should be ministering on the field. It's not a very interesting game if 40 chubby coaches are running on a field. The police have Leon's number and they would call him for help. One day he responded to the police's call. A guy was frothing and yelling away. The guy and his family were doing drugs and gambling. He took the rifle and sprayed family with bullets. Couldn't kill himself. Could not reach the rifle trigger. The bullets didn't kill anyone. But they couldn't calm him down. Leon walked into the room and the guy started saying all sorts of cuss and swear words. Leon walked up to him and said In Jesus name, young man I'm going to help u. The man calmed down. Twitching as he sat on the chair. Said to him, none of your family is dead. He broke down and sob. Alcohol and drug makes people do things they don't wanna do. He asked what should he do. Leon prayed with him and told him about Jesus. He received Jesus. Spoke to him about legally what he might take place but they could pray favour over the situation. He brightened up and the peace of God came over him. The police watching them were in shock. Lol. HS comes into u and sealed in U when U receive Jesus. There is a one way valve - your fear and sin can't go back into u. The HS is in u. Learn to sense Him. 1 Cor Don't be unaware of the spiritual gifts. Must understand the spiritual. Don't be ignorant of that which moves in the HS. Don't be so in tune with your flesh u can't release from your spirit. 1 Cor 14:1 Pursue love but desire earnestly the spiritual gifts. Seek actively and be so passionate about the gifts of the Spirit. Pursue love first then desire earnestly with a passion. 1 Cor 12:31 Desire earnestly the best gifts. The best gift is the one u need for the situation u are in. Leon was once attacked by a guy holding an iron rod. He said in Jesus name. The man suddenly dropped the iron rod, and ran afraid away from Leon. That's HS! Leon went by a bad bar at a rough part of town. 5 men jumped off the bar stool and circled him. Leon was asked what he was doing there. He said he was there to share Jesus with people and Jesus is His friend. The guy mocked him and said he and his friends would whack him. Leon told him well the bible says the angels will protect him or give him the strength to whack them up. They were shocked. They have never met a minister like that. They were curious to know what is the Jesus He knew and He spent time to preach Jesus to them :) Leon loves the one on one where God just brings him into a situation where a miracle is about to take place. HS will look after u. His health and healing and favour is on u. HS doesn't just show u u are righteous and loved. Also reminds u the enemy has been defeated. When people die, whoever owns them comes for them. U will sense and know His presence in the inner man. God wants to use u in a very special way. HS will help u in every area of your life. Don't forget He is there for u. Some miracles are instant and some are recovery - they might not happen right away but will happen over time but the healing has taken place. Amen. :) Leon shares a lady with a lump wasnt healed right away but 9m later it was gone. It shrank slowly every day. A person who was half paralysed felt sad as he didn't get instantly healed. Leon explained recovery to him. Leon asked him to wriggle his toe. He couldn't but now could. There was a lady whose ankle was immobile. As she left the church to go to her car, she stepped down the sidewalk and there was a crack and she got a new ankle joint. Hallelujah!!
