God has kept our church for eleven years and we can praise Him not only with our words, but with our soul! The church praises God with singing and dancing.

Two big screens on the left and right sides of the platform show the English version of the praise songs.

“My soul, praise the Lord! We are just coming into the river of anointing!” – the Master of Ceremonies greets the church.

Pastors of the Kyiv church and Pastor Sergey Shidlovskiy congratulate the church and the senior pastor on the birthday.

There may be a few people in the hall who have not read the book written by Pastor Shidlovskiy - “Penuel” – the experience of communicating with God through prayers, talking about the importance of a personal relationship with Him. Among those whose lives have been changed – Pastor Victor from Norilsk, Pastor Vitaliy from Dnepropetrovsk, pastor of the New Apostle Church. Today they spoke about how many things became possible in their lives thanks to the time spent in the “secret place,” in personal communication with God.

“Now I have a honeymoon life with my wife! Everything has changed both in our ministry and in the family!” – Pastor Victor says. “We copied the book “Penuel” on Xerox and passed it around when we saw the effect of this book! We thank Pastor Sunday and Pastor Shidlovskiy!”

-         I dream, - Pastor Sergey says – for every person living on the planet Earth to have an intimate relationship with God so that the whole body of Christ could be transformed. I have preached in seven countries, but I want to tell the whole world about relationship with God – it changes life!

 I dream of every member of the Embassy of God church burning with the desire to seek God’s spirit.

A member of the Embassy of God church, one of the members of the missionary team that came with Pastor Vasiliy Biletskiy, Nikolay Matsapura, presented a song to those who decided to know more about Jesus Christ and dedicate their lives to Him.

The senior pastor of the Embassy of God Church came to the platform in order to lead the worship:

“Opens your hearts to God. With God a man is greater than the whole world because we know the power of His resurrection. If you are with God – never put your hands down! If you walk with God you have everything in future!

It’s not life when you are happy because you have a house or a car. There is a life that lasts forever when you are happy because you have a direct connection with the Creator of the Entire Universe. Life is when you know, not because you have learned it, but because He came to you from the heavens and touched your soul. Why do you not smoke or drink? Why are so joyful? It is because God’s joy flows from the spirit! If you have not felt it yet it means you have not yet begun to live!

There are three levels in life. The first one is when a man lives on the level of physical demands. The second level is intellectual. But there is a better life – life in the Holy Spirit that we obtain in the process of knowing God. It was for this level of life that Jesus came to the cross.

A group of men from Holland who came to shoot a film about the church said: “It is above any explanation that Pastor Sunday has done so much in Ukraine. There is no one in all of Europe who has done anything like this. They don’t know that I did not do it alone, that Someone Invisible, but the Most Important was always with me. Together with Him we have gained the victory, we can look at our tomorrow with inspiration!

You will not have any obstacles on your way with God because you have learned the strongest power – the power of resurrection. And we are happy, friends, because we know Him!

And one of these people I want to introduce to you. He is an ordinary Ukrainian. He came to our church at the time when he was rebuilding his relationship with his wife after fifteen years of being divorced. It can seem that at the age of forty a person does not have any hopes to be realized.  

But you always have a chance with God! With him you have everything! Now we call this person Pastor Vitaliy.

Today this “simple Ukrainian” has become a minister. Today he is reaching the American continent for God. I was shocked: he doesn’t even speak English! He will not have a success! But God surprised me again! In four years he has begun churches in 11 cities!

He still speaks with an interpreter, but he put the task before him to gain all the states of America in 10 years!

America teaches us economics and politics. But to learn spiritual things they come here!”

The church greeted Pastor Biletskiy and a delegation of missionaries that came with him with tremendous applause. They brought a demo reel about the new churches and handed the flag of California to “The Embassy of God” as a symbol of joining the new territory to the Kingdom of God; they testified about the special grace that followed them in America.

Pastor Vasiliy Biletskiy’s sermon

The Messengers of the Churches – the Glory of Christ

2 Corinthians 8:23

“Whether any do enquire of Titus, he is my partner and fellowhelper concerning you: or our brethren be enquired of, they are the messengers of the churches, and the glory of Christ.”

There was a special law about those who trumpeted. If they didn’t warn in time, they were to blame for the blood of innocent victims. But if they did what they should do and someone neglected the warning – it was his own fault!

BLESSED IS THE NATION THAT HEARS THE TRUMPET SOUNDS! One day God called us to the church and we came; called us to be leaders and we obeyed Him. Once God raised us as pastors and we scattered over the whole world, over Ukraine! Once He called us to struggle in order to survive during the time of persecutions. But we did not let fear in and we gained the victory! Then God sent us to struggle for Ukraine and the church did not waver although it was mortal combat! We gained the victory! Now after the Orange Revolution the church raised the level from which the whole world opens. And there is only one way to come into this world and transform it – as a missionary! God showed me that the trumpet calling has sounded for us to go to the next fulfilments! Through one person – His messenger – God comes and makes a history.

When Jesus looked at the harvest, He prayed for workers. This conference opens a new page in the history of the church. Missionaries reflect an unusual beauty and unusual glory. The Bible says that it is messengers of the church who are glory of the Lord. Why they? Look in the Bible, who made history? Israel had at one time two or three millions people, but God always looked for one person who answered His call. Moses, Gideon. They had a special glory, greatness and power of God. They changed knigdoms. Therefore I do not want you to miss what God wants to tell you.

You know God is Father of all. And every father has to bring his children to perfection.

For example, in Canada and America they are very strict on this point: if parents do not take their parental responsibilities, they are deprived of parental rights. Moreso is our God! He is responsible for bringing His children to perfection! God, as Father, has to love, embrace, kiss and bring up His children, but after the Fall it was impossible. And in order to carry out His parental duties God gave His son! Our wonderful, marvelous Father wants to make everyone perfect! His hands are stretched out from morning till night with blessings, but He has no flesh and blood! He needs someone who can pass this Father’s love to the people! Somebody who cares not only for himself, but stretches his love further to those who are beside. And if he has the right motivation, he becomes the channel through which God’s love flows.

When there are people with the heart of a father who spread God’s love over any territory, the glory, love and power of God comes upon them. Everything that God wants to give to his children He sends to these people. That is why messengers of the church, people who serve are the glory of Christ! Things that cannot be seen just sitting at a place and receiving come to their lives. God Himself comes to such people. God does not look so intently at the church as He looks at one lost sheep. He searches for workers and looks at the church as an entity that can go and save people!

The reason the church exists is to bring people up with the heart of father who will go and take love to His each child!

Those who agree to go and serve people do not worry about anything! God’s grace and glory will be with that person! Amen!

When I came to America, it looked like they caought a rabbit in the forest and let it out in a city. I looked around with frightened eyes. But if I can boast, I can boast only by the mercy of God! Once you start serving people – unusual grace comes to you! If a church doesn’t understand this truth, I am 100% sure that the church is doomed. I saw a lot of such churches. Missions is a key to life and glory of the church!

For the last four months I have been living with a horrible vision. It has shocked and frightened me. It has changed my views. Remember the Israelites that called to Him while under slavery. God believed, sent the anointed, led them out of the slavery. He fed them with manna from Heaven, performed wonders and signs. Their legs did not swell from tiredness, their clothes did not wear out. He led them to their mission and said: “Go and gain the world!” But they refused. They did not want. They betrayed God. And I see the vision – an army of many millions and the most anointed – Moses. There are seventy anointed elders near him. With him the chief High Priest Aaron, amazing presence of God– at daytime a cloud and at night a column of fire. Every Christian dreams of such a life! But I see that the movement of those many millions with songs, praise, anointing, prophecies, ministers is going to a cemetry. It is horrible! I understood that the church is not defined even by the presence of God. It is not defined by signs, answers to personal needs, anointing or quantity – no! Church is define by heroes obedient to God who will become messengers in order to gain the territory for Him! It is the only definition! I saw much in America! A terrible picture! Everything is defined by the following: whether you will go further, fulfill the word of the Father.

Picture Israel – millions people and only two eagles that obeyed the word of God and flew. The rest are hens for soup!

Friends, I am not saying that everyone must become a missionary, but after this revealation if a person does not go where God sends him, nothing can shock me more. To say what I think of a church I should know how many missionaries there are. How do they prepare. I do not believe that it means we are destined to be hens for soup, because God raised us on a very high level. I see that because only two out of millions went this way, it means that it is a very serious question. People do not easily leave what they have have acquired. But if you give it, you will see the lamb who will give you much more! Only if you agree with it and begin to live according to this, will you see amazing things happening in your life! There is something special in missions. God loves millions of people, gives them ministers, feeds with manna but reveales secrets only to messengers, those who want to be disciples. Why should he reveal secrets to those who don’t think to use them? You know that to whom much is given– much is expected. And then God is a clever God! Why would he put into something that will not give profit? Lead them to a cemetry. And they sit and watch the career growth of each other: “this one became a pastor, that one has ten churches”, and I sit like at funeral – secret things are revealed to those who know the Father’s heart and strive to become a father! Who strives to go further!

We have been at this top for eleven years and you needn’t be struggling for the pastor, for your church – these problems have been solved. You need to struggle for the world! It is very serious to realize that!

God’s messenger knows the father’s heart – that separates him or her from others. A bachelor cares only for himself and parents have responsibilities concerning their children. They look into the Father’s heart and see pain for people, love to children in His heart. They go forward, futher. And God admires such people.

The book of Judges 6:12

Having God’s love makes you the strongest one! You alone can gain a victory over your enemies if you have God’s love in your heart! If you spread yourself over some territory, God’s glory and His anointing come there through you. Great changes take place there! The anointed is distinguished by only one feature –love! God uses this kind of person!

God’s doesn’t include in His plans those who ask for personal salvation, although He gives salvation to them. But Elijah asked about the whole of Israel! And God gave him grace, power, glory, anointing and miracles! He gave the whole nation to the hands of one messenger! Do you see the difference? Seven thousand selfish people and one with the Father’s heart. I want to be the pastor of twelve anointed people rather than a crowd of many thousand selfish people!

Why did God choose Moses? It is because nobody exept him decided to struggle and take a risk for other people. Everyone cared only for himself! Moses was the only one who covered himself with love for all of Israel! This is the only principle according to which God chooses people and pours His anointing on them. Therefore if we keep asking: “God, give, give, give,” and don’t understand the reason why God has chosen us, we shall not go futher – nothing good awaits us.

Remember Debora. Remember Judges 5, Mark 5. Only when a man with God’s love arises to protect the nation – it does not matter whether it is a man or a woman – God and the victory comes. As the result of love in the heart! Only one thing is important - whether you love people. Not theoretically, but in practice! Your power is in love and the desire to sacrifice! Do not worry; you will not die! Those who care for themselves die. Those dead bodies were buried in the desert under anointing, grace, with songs and candles according to all traditions! But those who gave their lives stayed sound and strong and became heroes!

I believe that this word will change something. How long can you learn and learn? For a year or ten? And what then? God leads you to something! He does it in different ways – through a vision or a dream. But if God has called you, prepared you for something and you refused – it is very dangerous! God doesn’t work with a thousand selfish people, but with one who has the Father’s heart. God is with those who respond to His calling.

This conference is going to open our eyes, bless and strengthen us and spread messengers like ants over the whole world! Do not be afraid of making mistakes. Our fathers made them too. Abraham, Moses, Peter – God will come and correct! No one does perfectly the very first time! Cast away fears “There is a lion in the streets, there is a lion in the streets”. Do not believe that! God’s hand is with you! You will not sink! Christ learned to be obedient through persecutions!

God showed me a vision: I saw a rainbow streched from Russia to America. And we are participants of that. The point is not in the English language, the point is in God’s power. God can do unbelievable things! You should only be obedient to the Heavenly Father to love people and go according to the example of the first missionary, who had to come down from the heavens to the earth in order to preach the Gospel. He had to leave more than you have to leave today!

Everything God has he gives: “This is for you, I must give evrything to My children! Take and give it to others!”

Today God’s trumpet sounds: “Cities and countries are waiting for you! I saw in the spirit angels standing beside each one to write down his or her decision – are you going through Jordan? The church has come to the flash of glory and it will be much more out of Kyiv than in the city. Jesus made more miracles not in the temples, but out of them. It is very dangerous to refuse to fulfill God’s will!

God has been feeding with manna, miracles and signs for eleven years. The best preachers have been teaching us! Today you need to make a decision, otherwise you will stop growing and destruction comes! One person can make history if he is GOD’S MESSENGER. Where are you going?

I rejoice because I see the word sown, thousands of people coming back from the cemeteries! I proclaim the explosion of missions in the Embassy of God. It is not neccessarely that you will go to another city or country. It is different spheres of life you spread LOVE. Find your land!
