    00:01 Praise Jesus Christ. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 9th of August 2015. A Sunday. Christ’s love makes me overcome.

    00:13 The love that Christ has for me makes me overcome. Today is Sunday. As I said many times, many people just go to church, think they have done their chores or their duty to God.

    00:25 God is a God that loves you. God Almighty loves you. He is not looking for duty from you.

    00:32 He is asking you to do things for our own sake. When he tells me to keep commandments, it’s so that I won’t get into trouble because there’s another player in town that’s the devil. He has no powers, but he can fool
    us, confuse us, seduce our minds, makes us believe things that are wrong, makes us do wrong things believing that they are right, doing wrong things, believing that’s the only way.

    00:58 Not trusting Christ and putting our faith in the world, a fallen nature. Putting our faith in things that a human being cannot solve. Because we do not get our hearts and mind to believe God.

    01:11 Now we know for sure. Now God is in us. Those who have accepted Jesus Christ as the Lord and Saviour and master.

    01:13 God is in you. The fullness of God is in you. Every cell is flooded.

    01:26 God is flooded. Every cell in our body. Now one of the problems that we face that anyway I used to face before I came to the Lord and I was also tempted many times to do this wrong thing.

    01:43 That is using the tongue, using my mouth to speak wrong rubbish, using the tongue. That’s why Proverbs 18:21 says the tongue has power over life and death. Those who indulge in it must eat its fruit.

    02:00 That means if you indulge in the life giving words and keep talking about life giving words, you’ll eat its fruit, fruit of life. If you indulge in the death giving words, words that give death, causes death, causes
    harm, causes hatred, causes anger. Then we’ll indulge in that.

    02:20 We’ll eat his fruit that is fruit of death. Now as usual, I’ve told you all the Old Testament proverbs is from the Old Testament. It tells you what it do and all that.

    02:31 But there’s no power how to do it but in Christ. The New Testament gives us power to speak life. Under the Old Testament we can try and try, but without the power of Christ our heart and mind was controlling us and
    we will respond badly.

    02:47 But in Christ you can overcome. You have overcome, God has overcome for you. Christ has overcome the world and your tongue for you.

    02:56 Now you have to believe that and execute. Now remember, whatever we speak, rubbish comes out. First of all God has said, from the abundance of your heart, the mouth will speak.

    03:07 That means we have to go back and see. Hey, these are things sitting in my heart. Hey, this mouth is speaking.

    03:13 Whatever spoken means immediately see it is sitting in your heart. That means the heart has to be cleaned and changed. But how to do that? Therefore Jesus says, by renewing in the spirit of your mind.

    03:27 We must renew the spirit of our mind. How to do that? By the power of living God. By the power that’s already working in you.

    03:36 The power of Christ. By washing of the water by the Word. We have to use the word of God to wash our mind.

    03:44 And then the mind will have the good trees, the thorn bushes, all be destroyed. And then the heart, heart has also got a brain, as you all know. Go and read the listen to the trees of mind.

    03:56 And the heart also now will change and will have good thoughts and both have good trees. And. And when we begin to speak, good things will come out.

    04:04 And our life, your life will get better and better all by talking. But remember, people may say it’s ridiculous. What do you mean by talking you become good.

    04:16 Hey, the world, the universe was framed by God’s word. God spoke and the earth was formed and the heavens were formed. It’s all speaking.

    04:27 Speaking is critical. Speaking is important. Speaking gives life or death.

    04:33 Jesus Christ cursed the fig tree and from the root it begins to decay and destroy. Your speaking speech is important. Now many times we don’t understand how we cause our self harm.

    04:47 Now I’m going to give an example. What happened to me those days. I have false beliefs.

    04:53 False beliefs that will say, okay, I can motivate a fellow if I whack him. I think your stupid fella, don’t do this. You are stupid.

    05:02 If you do this or something, then I am believing that the chef will stop being stupid and do something right? But it doesn’t work that way. Now I know Manta came to the Lord. Now I know it doesn’t work that way.

    05:12 In fact I’m sending curses out now. So let’s say four, five people who are working under me. I did something to them, told them or fired them, or cursed them or whatever.

    05:24 I used to do all kind of rubbish as you all know. Now I forget. I think remember if we did, let’s say we told some rubbish or spoke some rubbish to five people differently.

    05:37 Some anger, some hatred, some curses, some derogatory things, must ridicule them or whatever. Five different people I spoke today. Let’s say the first one, I spoke and I said, you are a fool, you’re stupid or
    something.

    05:52 Second fala, I said, you are idiot. You will never do anything, you will never succeed. You will do this then.

    06:02 Third fella, hey, I fed up with you. I’m fed up with you. You are rubbish.

    06:07 You are causing me trouble. You’re causing me trouble. You are causing me trouble.

    06:10 Now many Christians will say to the children, you are troublesome. You’re giving trouble to me. You’re not changing.

    06:17 You’re doing the same thing to your children. Remember, I’ve done it before. So anybody saying they didn’t do it, you are an angel, so good for you.

    06:26 But I’m telling you, I’ve done it before, so now. But I’ve done all this stupidly, ignorantly. And then my Jesus, loving Jesus came and took control of my life.

    06:39 And then I began to speak good things, prospering things. Now these speeches, these words we speak, you can imagine like that you are in a pond. In a pond.

    06:52 You are in a pond, not a pool, in a pond. Let’s say you are in the pond and you threw a stone in the middle of the pond. But you are still in the pond, but your stone is now gone.

    07:02 You are near the edge of the pond. You throw a stone, the stone drops in the middle of the pond and then there will be ripples of water and the ripple goes, goes, goes. Finally the ripple will touch you because you
    are still in the pond.

    07:16 Just like a nuclear bomb, a nuclear bomb is put somewhere miles away. Bang. And the nuclear explosion, the damage, the force, the power will come just like the pond and touch so many, destroy so many things miles
    around.

    07:35 Now if you take thought about this, let us say we sent one curse word and say you’re stupid or something and you’re never good something. That stone you have dropped and you think you have dropped on that person,
    but you are still near the person. We are still in the spiritual pond.

    07:55 We are in a pond that is a spirit pond. Everything is spirit around you. Life is spirit.

    07:55 We are in a spiritual form. That is why, remember I have told you all before, the Russian scientists took a glass of water divided into two, put one frequency in half that water in one glass here and send the other
    glass thousands of miles away. So when they put a frequency sound inside this water thousands of miles here, thousands of miles away, that water receives the frequency at the same time, they were amazed and shocked
    because it’s all connected in the spirit.

    08:31 Now let’s look at ourselves. We speak rubbish. Let’s say you are rubbish.

    08:37 You will never amount to anything. You are given trouble. Now that ripple is coming and will touch you will touch me because I am in the pond.

    08:45 I am in the spiritual pond now like a nuclear bomb. Boom. And it now whacked me.

    08:52 Now the person who is whacked goes away. Now one hour later I do whack somebody else. Bang something.

    09:00 That bomb also touches me five, six times in a day. When I do to five, six different people. Five, six, five, six times.

    09:08 A nuclear bomb has touched me in the spiritual plane. That is why God says the tongue has power over life and death. The power of life and death is the tongue.

    09:21 And who indulge in it, who do this will eat its fruit. Either life fruit or death fruit. Now can you imagine this? Now every time we speak we better remember every cell of your body is flooded with the rubbish you
    spoke.

    09:37 Oh, I am never be able to pay my bills. Oh, economy is so bad because you’re sitting with a few people in your office and all talking economy went bad. Oh, there is the, you know the rate of petrol today, the rates
    of petrol today.

    09:50 Petrol price gone up. Oh, how am I going to survive? How am I going to pay the bills? How am I going to bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. The nuclear bombs are being put and it’s flooding you, flooding you, flooding
    you.

    10:04 Hey brother and sister, let’s wise up. We are overcomers. God has already overcome the world.

    10:09 Our dependency is not on the world. We depend on Christ. And Christ has always seen me through.

    10:16 He has always seen the others who have learned this and doing this through millions have benefited from this word of God. The word of God is the power of life and death are in the kangaroo, that word of God.
    Millions have benefited over using the blood of Jesus Christ, the name of Jesus Christ and meditating on his word.

    10:38 Now all we have to do is look. Millions before us and millions after us will all benefit before us. Millions already benefited from Jesus Christ.

    10:49 Now it’s our turn to benefit. We are still here. So what do we do with this tongue? We have to do what we when Jesus spoke, when the Word spoke and the earth was formed and Jesus spoke and the fig tree dies, I speak
    and something good will form or I speak, something will die.

    11:14 When you speak something good is formed or when you speak rubbish, something dies. So that is why even when people say something against you, you know God’s love is filled in you. You are worth, you are worth.

    11:30 So I will act as I am worth. What does a prince do A Child of a king. He is not afraid, he will speak well, he will speak caringly.

    11:43 Because a good king and a good prince will be benevolent, will be caring. And ours is the king of kings and we are his children. So we are prince and princesses.

    11:56 Actually, Prince, what you call, we have spirit man. Our spirit man Prince. We are father God’s children.

    12:03 How must we speak and we better understand. We speak wrong. We are in the same pool.

    12:08 We are in the pond. We are in the spiritual pond. That nuclear wave is attacking us also.

    12:15 When you throw rubbish. When a destructive force, it touches every cell of our body, restoring a life giving thing we speak also touches our body. So when people speak bad, the fact I will not return evil for evil,
    I will return good for evil, I return every evil with good.

    12:34 They say something wrong if I’m unable to control myself. Because I’ll begin to meditate daily in the name of Jesus Christ. I control my tongue to speak only good things.

    12:44 If there’s nothing good to speak, I don’t speak. And I may exercise some things like this. Some people say count to 5, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 only.

    12:56 Then speak not brrp, brrp, brrp, speak, kill, kill, kill. You speak, speak, speak. You die, die, die.

    13:03 This is what’s actually happening. People are destroying their own lives, even in Christ, because they don’t use the power of the blood of Jesus Christ in the name of Jesus Christ to control this tongue. Now God is
    saying in 2nd Peter 1:5:7, to virtue add knowledge, to knowledge add self control.

    13:23 To self control, add patience and endurance. And then from there you will add godliness, godliness. God likeness in Galatians 5:22, 23.

    13:35 Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, self control. These are the fruits of the spirit. Oh, we receive it in the name of Jesus Christ.

    13:44 Our speech must attend to one of these. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility and self control. Now our speech must contain this.

    13:55 Now when our speech begins to contain this, we are speaking life. And the force that is touching us is life. The ripple in the pond is coming back and touching us.

    14:07 Every cell of our body is bathed with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility and self control. When we begin to do this and this again and again and again, we practice, we meditate,
    we talk, we command heart and mind. And we remember our Lord Jesus Christ lives in me.

    14:24 God lives in me. God is flooded in me. Love of God is flooded me.

    14:28 I am worth it to the Creator of heaven and earth. He says, I love you. I am worth.

    14:33 I am worth. I will act as his child. I will act as his child.

    14:39 Why? I am his child. I must act as his child. I will not bless him.

    14:44 His name. I will not make name go bad. In Jesus name I pray.

    14:49 Brothers and sisters, let’s do this. From today your life will prosper. This is a guarantee from God.

    14:55 Your life will prosper. Amen.

    00:01 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ daily is on the 8th of August. Christ’s love, Christ’s love, the love of Christ says, you are worth it, you are worth it. You are worth, you are worth.

    00:21 Now, before we start, we remember that mercies are new every morning for those who love God. So therefore, in the name of Jesus Christ, I command my heart and mind, mind and every cell in my body in the name of Jesus Christ, I command every cell in
    my body to crave for Jesus Christ to love Jesus Christ with all my heart, with all my mind, with all my strength, with all my strength, oh, strength. In the name of Jesus Christ, I command my heart and mind to know that Jesus loves me, Jesus loves
    me.

    00:54 And to command my heart and mind in the name of Jesus Christ and every cell, my body to willing to obey every commandment of Christ. Because the commandments are a cure for me, are a remedy for me. So I will command my heart and mind and every cell,
    my body to obey the commandments of Christ.

    01:12 They are not burdensome. They’re not burdensome. Jesus said that they’re not burdensome.

    01:16 Therefore his yoke is light and his burden is light and yoke is. Oh, easy, easy. It is easy.

    01:26 His yoke is light, burden is easy. Nothing. The burden is light, yoke is easy.

    01:30 It’s easy to follow Jes Christ because he will empower you. He empowers me. So we start that today with that.

    01:38 But first of. But in the meantime today, what is the power of Christ? Daily about today, today is God is saying, you are worth. It’s our self worth.

    01:51 Many people, especially in broken homes, husbands or wives or children, they begin to believe they are worthless. They have no self worth. They actually do not feel any worth in them.

    02:05 And this can lead to suicide. Oh, I bind the spirit of suicide in everyone who is listening here in this message. I bind the spirit of suicide in the name of Jesus Christ.

    02:17 Get out of this person now. Not to return. No thinking of death.

    02:21 Get out in Jesus name. Life and death are in the hands of Jesus Christ. And he loves you.

    02:27 He wants to give you an abundant life. All we need to do is avail ourselves to him. Lord Jesus Christ, take control of my life, Lord, take control.

    02:37 I grant my control to you. I don’t want my will anymore. I want your will.

    02:42 I give my will to you, Lord Jesus in 2nd Corinthians 5:17. Therefore, if any person is ingrafted in Christ, you are grafted inside Christ the Messiah. He is a new creation, a New creature altogether.

    02:59 The old previous moral and spiritual condition has passed away. Your previous moral and spiritual condition all been wiped clean. All your sins have been wiped clean because of the blood of Jesus Christ.

    03:11 He has taken your sin and it’s become sin for you and me. And he died on the cross. Sin was killed the day, killed the day because he died on the cross, went into hell.

    03:21 He went into hell for us and came out again by his faith. And that’s the faith is in you, brothers and sisters. So don’t ever think you are worthless to him.

    03:31 Jesus Christ, the son of the living God, says, you are worth, you are worth. So no thinking of self worth? No. Zero self worth? No, you don’t have zero self worth.

    03:43 You are worth to the Creator. This has to be established today. That is why Christ’s love, love of Christ.

    03:50 From time to time I want to deal with one particular issue. Self worth is an issue especially in women who are suffering. Especially in broken marriages.

    04:03 Women who marry, their lives are a mess. The husband is in a mess because he himself a captive. That happened to my family when I was not in Christ, I was a terrible captive.

    04:17 And obviously the lack of worth, self worth, zero self worth was going into my wife, into my children. Because I will also use words to abuse, to break them down to the point that. And I think I’m doing right, what rubbish is that? But the problem
    is why I’m a captive.

    04:36 My heart and mind has been captured by satanic influence, worldly influence. And you begin to think by saying these things you can actually improve their lives. You can make them more motivated or something.

    04:49 It’s all wrong. Actually. What I was doing was killing the self worth of my wife and my children.

    04:57 Because I myself, that means did not have self worth. I hated myself. I bitter about myself.

    05:03 And therefore I couldn’t give love because there was no love in me to give. Because I needed the love of God. And God came.

    05:11 Jesus came. Jesus is true. Jesus is love.

    05:16 God is love. He loves you. Now I’m speaking to the sister woman.

    05:20 Listen. God loves you. God loves you.

    05:26 You are worth to him. Child, teenager, boy or girl, a husband who’s now doing these things like I was doing. I’m telling you, God loves you.

    05:26 You are worth this. Now the problem is our heart and mind will not accept this fact. It’s a fact.

    05:46 Otherwise, can you imagine? Why would God send his own son to suffer? Every skin in his bone, skin was. The skin was stripped like strips hanging there. Face was torn, beard and all was torn.

    05:58 The face was like no more skin without form, hanging there, suffering, taking our sin, our condemnation, our curses, our illness. Everything bad he was taking up that was on us, taking on himself. And he nailed it to the cross.

    06:14 And then he was giving us. When he rose again, he is giving us wonderful gifts already prepared and given. But they are in the spirit plane.

    06:23 You are a spirit plane, child. You are a spirit being. Now your heart and mind has to believe this.

    06:29 That is why the scripture in Hebrews says in 6:12, Hebrews 6:12. We don’t want you to be lazy. Apostles are telling this.

    06:38 We want you to be like those who, because of their faith and patience, will get what God has promised we will inherit with faith and patience, inherit the promises. So there is a requirement of faith and patience. First, faith is that you are in
    Christ Jesus and you don’t fear anymore.

    06:58 You are full of worth, real worth. For one soul is worth more than the whole world. God says, what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul? So one soul as far as God is one sense worth more than the whole world.

    07:13 You are worth more than the whole world. So let’s start there first. But your heart and mind doesn’t want to believe that.

    07:20 Your heart and mind only seeing what’s happening every day. Maybe your husband coming back in the evenings to abuse you, shout at you or whatever, and you begin to oh, I must be right. I must be right.

    07:30 I don’t know what he will do today. I don’t know what he’s going to shout at me today. The fear is coming in.

    07:35 Stop it. In the name of Jesus Christ, do the breath of God. Receive the breath of God in the name of Jesus Christ.

    07:43 The husband of your soul says you are worthy. The husband of your flesh. He himself is a fallen nature man, just like you were until you came to Christ.

    07:52 Fallen nature man cannot do anything good. When I was in fallen nature without Christ, I couldn’t produce anything good. When I say something, it only hurts people.

    08:03 So therefore we don’t look at that man who’s coming. Woman, wife of somebody. I’m telling you, do not look at the husband coming by the evening to condemn you.

    08:13 No, you look at Jesus Christ and you tell your heart and mind and you begin to breathe the breath of God. You know how many testimonies are coming in now that those who are receiving the breath of God, they are released, released sometimes from
    sickness, release from pain, release from arthritis pain, release from fear, release from confusion, the breath of God. And come new understanding.

    08:36 Oh, because God loves you. Now you begin to focus on God. Focus on Jesus Christ.

    08:43 Nothing he can do. You must understand. The husband of your flesh can come.

    08:48 Your worth is not based on what your husband of your flesh, the earthly husband tells you. Your worth is based on what Jesus Christ tells you. Jesus Christ tells you you are worth.

    09:01 And he has died for you and rose again. He was tortured. He allowed himself be tortured for you.

    09:07 You are worth. You have self worth. All the unworthiness is gone.

    09:12 Do not think about it. But your heart and mind will begin to bring this. The devil will begin to send some frequency, some talk to your heart and mind.

    09:20 Don’t listen. The world will begin to tell you. Your friends who do not know God will begin to contribute to this fear.

    09:27 Because they themselves may be having fear in their home. They themselves will have no self worth. And if you continue mixing with them without you helping them to get to Christ.

    09:37 You just sit down there. You don’t tell them about Christ, how he can set you free. Then what will happen? That fear will move on you.

    09:45 The fear and the self unworthiness will move on you. So you keep on going back to the same place. Let’s say you had suffered from dengue.

    09:54 And then after that you keep going. Or somebody suffered from dengue. And you’re still going back to the place where full of mosquitoes.

    10:01 Of course you will suffer from dengue. So you go to a group of people who have husbands, also abusing them or whatever. And you keep on meeting them instead of bringing them to Christ, bringing them to the husband of your soul.

    10:01 Of course you will never get out of this. Because bad company will corrupt good character. Now why are they bad company? They are lost.

    10:23 They need Jesus. It is you, God, as your husband of your soul is telling you now, bring them to Christ easily. You can make them breathe the breath of God then and there.

    10:33 Tell them, look, let’s not talk about all this. The more we talk, our self unworthiness will become increasing. Our self rubbish will become increasing.

    10:41 Because what by our words, either we destroy, kill or prosper. Your word decides this. So choose life.

    10:53 Today speak life. But when you go to people guru prom, understand their suffering. But so in the meantime, first you strengthen yourself in Christ.

    11:02 That is why he says in 18 second Corinthians 5:18. For all things are from God, who through Jesus Christ reconciled us to himself. Jesus Christ make us reconcile with God.

    11:17 We have become one with God. Therefore yesterday, God to be flooded in every cell of my body. God to be flooded in every cell in your Body, this you have to command the heart and mind to begin to make every self understand.

    11:32 Now he says, and gave us a ministry of reconciliation. You have a ministry, sister. Now God has reconciled you.

    11:41 Now you go and reconcile others with God and tell them about this wonderful Jesus Christ. Don’t say, oh, it’s for pastor. It’s for servants.

    11:49 It’s for somebody. No, no, it’s for Bible college graduates. No, you.

    11:54 He reconciled you through Jesus Christ to God himself. Now he’s telling you he’s given you a ministry of re. Reconciliation.

    12:02 You go and tell people, even though a woman is suffering, though you’re not listening to that, because you are now belonging to another. Your soul belongs to Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God. That is why Colossians 1, 12 and 13.

    12:15 Colossians 1, 12 and thirteen. Giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us. He has qualified you.

    12:24 Can you imagine? You are qualified. You are not worthless. You are not worthless.

    12:28 You are qualified to be partakers of the inheritance. You are qualified to take the inheritance that comes from Jesus Christ. You are qualified.

    12:38 You are not unqualified. You don’t need a degree here or a Master’s or a PhD or whatever. You don’t need to have gone through Bible college.

    12:39 You don’t need to have fasted 25 days or something. You don’t need nothing. You need to believe.

    12:53 If you only believe. If you only believe. And when you begin to believe that Jesus Christ took all your sins, yes, we have all sinned.

    13:03 Take all your sin. Jesus Christ took all your pain, took all your suffering, took all that. And he says, you are mine.

    13:09 I’ve qualified you to be partaker of the inheritance. Your worth is complete. You are full of worth.

    13:16 Now he says, I have given you a ministry of reconciliation. Go and tell the others who are suffering. Others are suffering.

    13:23 In 13 he says, Colossians 1:13. He has delivered us from the power of darkness. Oh, he delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us and translated us and took us into the kingdom of the Son of His love.

    13:37 We are in love now. We are soaked in love. Remember this.

    13:41 Breathe. Breathe and breathe the love of God into yourself. In the name of Jesus Christ.

    13:46 I breathe the love of God into myself. I breathe it. I breathe it.

    13:52 I must be flooded with the love of God. God’s love is flooded inside me. It is there.

    13:57 I will release it now to others. In the name of Jesus Christ. I will go and get people to be reconciled with God.

    14:03 Not to go and condemn them, but to reconcile them. With God first. John 5:5 says, who is overcomes the world.

    14:12 Who can overcome the world. But he who believes that Jesus is son of God. That who trusts in and relies on that fact.

    14:20 That’s the Greek translation, relies on the fact. The fact is that Jesus is the son of God. Died on the cross, rose again for you now.

    14:31 That is why Romans 8:37,38 says all things. We are more than conquerors in all things. Through him who loved us, he loves you.

    14:42 You are worth. You don’t have zero worth. You don’t have unworthiness.

    14:46 No, no. You are full of worth. Worth more than the whole world to Him.

    14:50 I am persuaded that neither death nor life. So you have to persuade your heart and mind to believe that this love cannot be separated from you. You do not make your heart and mind separate yourself from this.

    15:03 Tell the heart and mind, wicked fallen nature, you will behave in the name of Jesus Christ. You’ll be persuaded to know. Jesus Christ loves me.

    15:11 Jesus Christ loves me. Therefore, your worth is full today. Your worth is full today.

    15:19 Now, brothers and sisters, we close here. Remember, meditate on your worth. No more fear husband coming back than all.

    15:26 You will love this husband. Because why? Because you have worth. You have worth.

    15:32 You are full of worth. You will love. You are able to love.

    15:35 So you don’t focus on what is going to come and tell and this and that. You focus on what God is telling you. God is telling you your worth full of worth.

    15:43 In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray Amen.

    AI-generated transcript below — please excuse any errors

    00:01 Praise Jesus Christ. Brothers and sisters, the power of Christ Daily 7th of August, 2015. Titled to know that love of Christ. To know that love of Christ, not any love of Christ, that true love of Christ, to know what Christ’s love is for us.

    00:19 Yesterday we dealt with determined purpose that I may know Him. That’s why Apostle Paul was praying that for my determined purpose is that I may know him, that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with him. And also to in
    the same way, to know the power outflowing from his resurrection, which it exerts over believers, exerts over me the power from his resurrection that exists over me.

    00:51 Nobody else can do this. Only Jesus Christ can do for us. Brothers and sisters.

    00:55 We can pray here, pray this person to that person. Everybody else we can pray to. We can ask help from somebody.

    01:01 We can ask. But he himself, Jesus himself is interceding for us. The Holy Spirit is also interceding for us.

    01:08 He’s written scripture. He doesn’t say anybody else is interceding for us. Now, for me, clearly Jesus himself is interceding for me.

    01:19 If Jesus is interceding for me, I must know that I am whole, that I am not forsaken. And again yesterday, God told you about Ask anything in My name, I will do it for you. In John 14:13 and in John 14:14, if you ask me for anything in My name, I
    will read for you.

    01:39 And in John 14:15, if you love me, you will do my commandments. Now, these are very powerful statements of God. These are words of God.

    01:49 When you begin to speak God, his word will not return void. It will accomplish what it set out to do. The Bible written like that, His Word, the Word of Jesus Christ.

    02:02 Oh, the word of Jesus Christ will not pass away. Heaven and earth may pass away, but the word of God, which is Jesus Christ, will not pass away. It will accomplish.

    02:14 It will achieve what it set out to do. So it always achieves what he set out to do. So all we have to do is use his word to keep praying into us.

    02:24 For instance, I command my heart and mind in the name of Jesus Christ, that if I ask anything in the name of Jesus Christ, he will do it for me. He will do it for me. So we begin to do this.

    02:36 Until this thing understands this thing, my heart, fallen nature. I cannot believe that somebody will actually do it for you for nothing. Somebody will take our sins for nothing.

    02:47 Our heart can’t believe, Our mind can’t believe. It’s confusing. It is not what the mind has been taught to Believe.

    02:53 The mind has been taught to believe that we must do something. And then somebody give us something. You must work daily and somebody will give you money.

    03:00 You must go and do a deal, and then somebody will give you some commission. No. Jesus said, look, I created you.

    03:07 I’m now training my son to die on the cross for you to become sin for you. He became sin for me. These are the things our heart and mind doesn’t accept.

    03:16 Our spirit, man has been born again and made new. And everything is alive in the name of Jesus Christ, even a sister. I keep saying, the spirit of Father God is in you.

    03:26 The spirit of Father God is male, so your body is a female. But in Christ there’s no male or female. Sisters, you must understand this very clearly.

    03:35 In Christ, there’s no male or female. We must become. Finally, he will make us.

    03:40 Jesus Christ will make us like him. But at the same time, in John 14:15, he says, if you love me, you will keep my commandment. And I keep telling the Hebrew definition of commandment, one of the definitions is authoritative.

    03:55 Prescription is a cure, it is a remedy, it is a healing. So it is for us. So when you do that, you won’t, of course, be asking rubbish automatically in your spirit, you will ask the right things because the spirit of God is in us.

    04:09 So if you ask me for anything in my name, I will do it now. Today. There is another powerful element to this, another powerful group of words for this.

    04:20 If we can understand, we can. Oh, including me. That means me.

    04:25 I must understand fuller and fuller and deeper and deeper because I may understand by God’s mercy. Over the years, I’m doing this so I may understand more than a lot of people. But it’s not achieved yet.

    04:38 I’m not made. I’m not arrived. I must know that if I know something I do not know as I ought to know as yet, that is command.

    04:43 I do not know the whole story. So therefore I make sure that my heart and mind is humbled to know that. Otherwise, brothers and sisters, pride will come for each of us.

    04:57 Each of us, this pride is a killer. The spirit of pride wants to kill us. Never allow pride.

    05:03 Always remember when we know something, even in ministry, even when we already seen it again and again, we do not know the whole story. When you are ministering to somebody, when you are praying for somebody, always remind yourself. God’s word is,
    if you think you know something, you do not know as you ought to know as yet.

    05:21 And therefore in that we must follow to keep us humble. Otherwise we will all Fail, brothers and sisters, without humbleness, we cannot follow God. Humbleness is the one give the power.

    05:33 Humbleness is the greatest weapon in the spiritual world. Humble and God will move for you. Oh brothers and sisters, it’s a fantastic thing to know.

    05:44 Be humble and God will move for you. The power of God will work through you. Now here to know that love of Christ today.

    05:54 You see, I’ll read a simple straightforward text from King James first and then easy read and then we’ll go and explain this. And this will be a similar in all Bibles. I’ve checked these, so I just use anyone that comes by.

    06:10 But the meanings to be deeper. The amplified Bible gives more shades of meanings. What the Hebrew shades are what a Greek because New Testament was written in Greek.

    06:22 So what the Greek shades of meanings are because Greek is Asian language. English doesn’t fit in to settle Asian words. Asian words have many shades of meaning.

    06:32 That’s the same with Tamil, same with Chinese, same with the Middle Eastern languages. It has shades of meanings. And that’s why in Greek, sometimes we simply make one word.

    06:42 Like in English, belief. Belief in the Greek, the way it was told and also in the Hebrews, the way it was told is clinging on, clinging on to Jesus, cleaving to him, trusting him in him completely. Our trust in him is complete.

    06:59 That’s the word for belief is not simply believe, believe, believe. No, because English is so vague. It’s not complete in the extent of the meaning of belief.

    07:11 What exactly the Testament is trying to say? What the Testament is saying is deeper than that. Cleaving. We must be cleaved into Jesus Christ because he has used the example of a marriage.

    07:23 A husband and wife will cleave to each other and become one flesh. Now we cleave into Jesus Christ and become one spirit. One spirit.

    07:31 Our soul must be tied with Jesus Christ. Our soul must be tied, tied, bonded with Jesus Christ. Then obviously our lives are far, far, far different than what it is now.

    07:43 The love will completely flow into us because we are tied into it. But now we keep rejecting or we do not want in certain aspects of the Scriptures, then we will not get the kind of benefit we are supposed to have. But we will still.

    07:56 You have to believe this. Once you believe this and know this, the love of Christ. Oh, a lot of things settle.

    08:04 If we know the love of Christ, a lot of things will settle. For instance, many times we desire great faith and great power in our lives. Did you know this when I came to Christ, this is what everybody is telling.

    08:18 So I am. So I Need power, Lord, I need power. I need a lot of power to do youo will.

    08:23 I want power to cast out demons in. It’s all been given you. Just take the step in the name of Jesus Christ and do it.

    08:31 The demons will run in his name. They will run away. Oh, I need great faith.

    08:37 No. The faith of Christ. The faith that Jesus used to come out of the grave.

    08:39 The faith that Jesus used. That is the faith that is in us now. So remember this.

    08:51 Our faith. He has given us a measure of faith. And all we have to have faith is that Jesus is true.

    08:57 And he has died on the cross. Rose again. He became sin for me.

    09:01 And that faith is in that faith of Jesus Christ. We have faith in the faith of Jesus Christ. Now repeat this.

    09:10 I must have faith in the faith of Jesus Christ. Can you imagine, brothers and sisters? Because all I need to do is make my heart and mind believe in all what Jesus Christ had done. And then that faith of Jesus Christ will operate through me and for
    me and for you.

    09:30 Now, to know that love of Christ. Why in Colossians. Sorry, In Ephesians, Ephesians 3:17, 3:19.

    09:41 That is just 3:19, Ephesians 3:19, it simply says, to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now let’s just listen to this. To know the love of Christ which passes knowledge that you may
    be filled with all the fullness of God.

    10:07 Now, brothers and sisters, if I am filled with all the fullness of God, game over. I don’t have to bother over power. It will be there.

    10:15 The power of God will be there. The power of Christ will be there. I don’t have to have looking.

    10:21 I want to love people. It will come. Love will flow out of me.

    10:24 Why? God is love. God is love. He’ll flow out of me.

    10:29 I don’t have to give. I want to love people. I want to love.

    10:32 I will love automatically. We know the love that God has for us. And we trust that love.

    10:37 That is 1 John 4:7, 16. 1 John 4:16. Apostles are telling this John.

    10:44 So we know the love that God has for us. And we trust that love. This is an easy read.

    10:49 I’m reading in another Bible. And we have known and believe the love that God has for us. God is love.

    10:56 And he who abides in love, abides in God and God in him. God is love. Everyone who lives in love lives in God and God lives in them.

    11:05 Now they are saying they know the apostle saying, we know the love that God has for us and we trust that love. This is the point that I have to come to completely. I have to know that God loves me.

    11:21 I must know the love of God to the fullness. And then I will walk in love automatically and God will live in me. I felt God lived in me, because at least in me.

    11:36 Only my heart and mind must begin to understand this, to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. This is a one liner scripture, one verse which can settle all of us in everything. If we
    know the love of Christ, then we are filled with all the fullness of God.

    12:01 We are filled with all the fullness of God. Now the better explanation from the Greek understanding will be that you may really come to know. And this is actually Apostle Paul praying that I may really come to know.

    12:19 That time he is praying for his saints there. But of course, now God, Jesus Christ is intervening for us, so we are quite okay. We are fantastically okay, actually.

    12:26 But to know practically through experience for yourself, the love of Christ which far surpasses mere knowledge. You see, the Scripture says the love of God surpasses knowledge, which means it is beyond understanding by knowledge, merely by
    information. God loves me.

    12:43 God loves me. That’s information. God loves me.

    12:48 God is love. That’s information. There’s knowledge.

    12:52 But what God is telling us is to fill ourselves with the knowledge of God’s love. Beyond just knowledge. It must be not just mere knowledge, not just mere information.

    13:02 It must be experienced through experience for yourself the love of Christ that you may really come to know practically in practice, in real walk through experience for yourself the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge. And mere
    knowledge without experience is useless. That you may be filled through all your being unto all the fullness of God.

    13:33 Filled through all my being unto all the fullness of God, may have the richest measure of the Divine presence and become a body wholly filled and full, flooded with God himself. This is the various shades of meanings that the Greek text has put that
    my body will be wholly filled with blood, flooded with God himself, flooded with God himself, my body. Now how do we do this? That means I must experience the love of Christ.

    14:08 Not merely in the head knowledge and the heart knowledge. No, must experience it. You must have experience, experience until it becomes in my heart it’s known for.

    14:16 And then I will be filled with all the fullness of God and my whole body will be filled and flooded with God himself. Now this should be our desire. Once we have this faith and power.

    14:30 Everything will be inside there. It’s complete. So today we now want to know that love of Christ, not merely head knowledge.

    14:41 So we pray for that. In the name of Jesus Christ, I command my heart and mind to know that God is love and to know the love of Christ so completely that it surpasses all understanding and knowledge. Mere knowledge, but in experience that my whole
    body will be filled with the Divine presence and flooded with God himself.

    15:06 In Jesus Christ, I pray for all of us, brothers and sisters, you do this. I’m going to do this regularly so that we I will be flooded with God himself. Thank Jesus Christ.

    15:19 Amen.

    4. Colossians 2:6-10 New King James Version (NKJV)
      6 As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, 7 rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it[a] with thanksgiving.
      8 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. 9 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily;
      10 and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power

    1. 2 Corinthians 3:7 New King James Version (NKJV)
      7 But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious,
      so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away,
    2. 2 Corinthians 3:4-6 Easy-to-Read Version (ERV)
      4 We can say this, because through Christ we feel sure before God.
      5 I don’t mean that we are able to do anything good ourselves. It is God who makes us able to do all that we do.
      6 He made us able to be servants of a new agreement from himself to his people.
      It is not an agreement of written laws, but it is of the Spirit.
      The written law brings death, but the Spirit gives life.
    3. 2 Corinthians 3:12-18 Easy-to-Read Version (ERV)
      12 We are so sure of this hope that we can speak very openly.
      13 We are not like Moses, who put a covering over his face. He covered his face so that the people of Israel would not see it. The glory was disappearing, and Moses did not want them to see it end.
      14 But their minds were closed. And even today, when those people read the writings of the old agreement,
      [a] that same covering hides the meaning. That covering has not been removed for them. It is taken away only through Christ.
      15 Yes, even today, when they read the Law of Moses, there is a covering over their minds.
      16 But when someone changes and follows the Lord, that covering is taken away.
      17 The Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
      18 And our faces are not covered. We all show the Lord’s glory, and we are being changed to be like him. This change in us brings more and more glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
