Missionary Andrew Taylor ministered on the women of faith in the Bible: Sarah, Hagar, Rahab, Hannah, Ruth, Esther, Elizabeth, and Mary. Their message was one of: God can use anyone at any time to do any thing; it’s not over until God say it is; God can turn a nobody into a somebody; you can carry greatness; and let it be according to Your Word. Andrew told the testimony of his own mother’s faith when there was no food in the house, and how they received favor to have free tuition for her children to a superior school in India. She told Bible stories to her nine children, and the one of the crucifixion totally impacted Andrew. She prophesied over Andrew that he would bring his siblings to Jesus Christ.

Andrew Taylor is the founder of the APT Foundation, and his wife, Anne, is the founder of Door of Hope. He ministers in Indonesia, India, Australia, Fiji, and the South Pacific islands. He preached on the “Nine P’s in the Life of Joseph.” They come from Genesis 37, 39-47. The first one is privilege, as Joseph was the favored son. We are favored by God. The second one: the pit, where God was working out His plan. What pit do you find yourself in today? Third: peddled for pennies, as his brothers sold him for twenty pieces of silver, but God was there. Fourth: Potiphar’s house, where Joseph ran from the temptation of Potiphar’s wife. Your integrity may cause you to be persecuted. At this stage you might be tempted to question God. Fifth: prisoner, when he was locked up. You might question why you were born. Sixth: Preparation, perfection, purifying, and polishing, when Joseph emptied himself. Do you feel you are locked up by controlling people and situations? He was advanced as overseer over the other prisoners. Seventh: promotion and position, when Joseph is put into the second highest position in all Egypt. He was humble and could handle the promotion. Be humble. Stay humble. Eighth: palace, where the greater the preparation, the higher the promotion. Follow God’s plan, God’s way, and God’s time. Ninth: provision, when Joseph was blessed to be a blessing to his friends, family, and foreigners. He sought no revenge, but he loved his brothers. He was like Christ. Walk with grace and humility in the place of blessing. It is all of God, and none of us, so His kingdom can come.

The silver medalist of all the mothers. Pastor Andrew Taylor read out of Genesis15:2 Eliezar (type of the Holy Spirit) was to find a bride for Abraham.  Pastor Andrew read from  Genesis 24:2, Abraham is a type of God the Father, the riches man. Abraham has the seed,  Isaac  who is the type of son. We cannot escape the consequences of our decisions. There are 206 bones in the body, the biggest and strongest muscle is the thigh muscle. Putting your underneath someone’s thigh means 1.) Making a promise or swearing, 2.) Submission, and 3.) from the Hebrew also means the reproductive organs, swear by your children’s children. Abraham, Eliezar, and Jesus. Father, Holy Spirit, and Son. The name of Egypt symbolizes the world and the Lord has brought us out of Egypt. 2 Peter 2:22, like a dog who turns back to his vomit. Psalms 40:8, do we desire to do the Father’s will or are we consumed doing what we want to do? John 4:34, meat means task. 2 Peter 3:9, If we reject His precious son, God has to honor our choice. It is not God’s will that any soul should perish. When a soul does if grieves Him. How will God’s will be done? God’s will will be done by willing people. We are all sons and daughters of God. All over this world the Spirit is moving, flat out like a lizard drinking water. What is she will not come? What if she is too comfortable? What if we are too self absorbed? Pastor Andrew referenced Acts 1:8, Matthew 28:19-20 and encourages us to get up and go do the work of the Father. The price has been paid for everyone but, not everyone knows. If it is to be, it’s up to me. It is not the time to turn to your neighbor. Seek the Kingdom of God first. If you do the will of the Father, He will take care of what is needed. Pastor talks about the generations. Rebecca’s father is a guy named Bethua. Nahor and Milcah are the parents of Bethua.  Abraham and Sarah have a child named Isaac. Isaac and Rebecka are the same age. Pastor Andrew read from Genesis 24. Genesis 24:56, yes I will go. Psalms 110:3, the people should be willing.

Pastor Andrew Taylor spoke on “What is in a Name”. Pastor Andrew mentioned that it’s not the label on the outside of the bottle. It is the content that is contained in the bottle to show interest in. Pastor Andrew read Proverbs 22:1 and John 1. He talked about John the Baptist. First disciple of John the Baptist was Andrew. Abram was then named Abraham (Father of many nations). Jacob was then named Israel (Prince). Simon was then named Peter (Cedar). The meaning of Andrew is “strong man of God”. “Are you an Andrew or Andrea on the inside?” Pastor Andrew read John 1:35 and John 1:40-43, Andrew brought Simon to Jesus. The first thing that took place was the Andrew brought Peter to the Father. The hardest place to be a witness is among your own family. In talking about Philip Pastor Andrew read from John 6:5 and Isiah 53:1, to bring the lad  or the five loaves of bread and two fish. Acts 1:8, Pastor Andrew mentioned to serve God faithfully, to wait patiently, and to receive gloriously.
