Jeremiah 29:11-13 Easy-to-Read Version (ERV)
11 I say this because I know the plans that I have for you.” This message is from the Lord. “I have good plans for you. I don’t plan to hurt you. I plan to give you hope and a good future. 12 Then you will call my name. You will come to me and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will search for me, and when you search for me with all your heart, you will find me.
James 1:13-15 New King James Version (NKJV)
13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. 14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. 15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.

00:01 Praise Jesus Christ. Brothers and sisters, today is the power of Christ. Daily 24th of July. Does your heart trust God? Does your heart trust God? You see, mercies are new every morning for those who love God.
00:18 But of course there’s a sowing and reaping rule God has put in place to keep us safe now. But we have to trust God to be able to follow that rules. Because our heart will not trust.
00:28 For instance, Jeremiah 29:11 13, God says, I have good plans for you. Not plans to hurt you, but plans to give you hope and a great future. Good future.
00:39 And in James he says, each one is tempted when we are drawn by our own desire and entice. Our desire is where? From our heart. From our heart.
00:49 We are drawn by our own desire and enticed. Now brothers and sisters, in this our hearts are treacherously wicked. Because our heart and our mind have been trained by the world.
01:01 We are born of Christ, so we are not. We trust God. Our spirit man trusts God.
01:07 Our spirit man loves God. Our spirit man loves Jesus Christ. Your spirit man loves Jesus Christ.
01:14 But your heart, God says treacherously wicked, does not trust God because he trusts the world. Trust what has been trained into. And this gives a lot of problems to a lot of people because it says after being enticed and drawn by own heart desire, when desire is conceived, it gives birth to sin.
01:34 And when sin is full grown, it death. Now there are things the heart will want and we, because we are in the world, we will think it’s fine. For instance, there is one case I remember some years ago.
01:50 One single mother with four children. The eldest one just finished A levels and wants to get into medicine, want to do a medical degree, but no money. And the uncle or somebody who promised her the money couldn’t bring up the money sadly.
02:09 And she was upset, hurt, angry, unforgiving and all that. So finally I told the child, look here, God actually wants you to do acca accounting. Profession Accountant.
02:23 When God says that, obviously you would not. She didn’t like it because all her life, for several years she’s thinking of account medicine. Medicine, medicine, medicine.
02:34 And now people will say what is wrong? Her desire is medicine. True for some people medicine. For some people, accounting.
02:42 So some people farming. God has a special plan for each of his children. But God doesn’t want us to go and get debts.
02:51 There are people who borrow money for the children’s education from loan sharks and suffer after that. God doesn’t want us to do all this story. So now having said that, let’s look at this.
03:06 So what happened? This girl became very angry, very upset. I told her, sister, I can’t force you. I’m not here to force anybody.
03:13 I’m only telling you in godly counsel what I heard. So it’s your choice. I can’t force anybody.
03:20 So I told her, our hearts are wicked. Our hearts are one thing. But Jesus loves you.
03:25 Jesus loves you and he’s got a great plan for you. Only he will know the future. He can make the future for you.
03:32 This is Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Now one, two weeks went by and became. She became convicted.
03:40 She became convicted and finally decided to do the ACGA within three, four, five years maximum. She was only earning thousands of dollars. I think at one point already, while till the early 20s, you know, she’s already earning 10,000.
03:55 I think she was doing accounts, managing accounts for Volvo. Can you imagine how is this possible while her friends are still in the college, not even graduated yet, doing medicine and owing people and all that. So only God knows.
04:13 Only God knows. So only God knows how to make your plans. He got special plans.
04:18 Not plans to harm you or hurt you, but good plans and future. Now of course, after that she became wonder to many, wonder to many. But we must remember it was God Almighty who loves her and told her this way.
04:35 Now if she decided, no, I will go and do whatever I want, I don’t care, I will go and borrow, I will do something, push through. Yeah, it can happen. Her life would have been a mess.
04:47 There are a lot of doctors who are in a mess. It is not the profession that gives us peace. It is the love of God in us and we loving God that gives us peace.
04:58 That is why, brothers and sisters, this thing about our heart desire must be clear now you see what is the belief? Belief is trusting him, relying in and clinging on to Jesus completely. It’s not saying I believe, I believe. Remember, even the demons believe and tremble.
05:18 So I believe, I believe it’s not going to work. Now that is why God says, get godly counsel. Get godly counsel because our heart will say this.
05:28 Now, for instance, there are people desire, as I said, dealt with a lot of debts, lot of loan sharks. And there are people who ended up stealing because they believe they don’t know what to do. They got caught, they gone into the college.
05:43 And then finally, can you imagine now this education is so costly, so costly. If you got four, five children, that alone will crush you. Worry every day, worry, worry, worry.
05:54 And we know what has done, worry has done. Yesterday also we were talking about this worry Calms us. Jesus wants us to have peace.
06:02 He said, guard your heart with the peace of the Lord. Peace of Jesus Christ. How to have peace when you allow your heart to draw you this way, that way, and it seems right.
06:12 Suppose you discuss with somebody in the world. They say, what’s wrong? You must strive, you must get this. You must succeed, you must push through.
06:21 But you know the suffering these people have when they don’t follow Christ. There’s only peace in Christ and in his ways. That’s why Jesus says in the word, godliness with contentment is great gain.
06:34 It looks ridiculous to the world. What is contentment can get great gain? They’ll ask, can contentment get great gain? Yes. These are spiritual laws.
06:44 These are miracles of Christ. Contentment with godliness. Godliness is God.
06:50 Likeness is great gain. Contentment by itself is not going to give you great gain. Contentment with godliness.
06:57 Loving God, doing his will, wanting to do, wanting to please him. Obeying. What is loving God? Obeying his commandments.
07:05 Why obeying commandments? Prescription for us. Prescription. Cure for us.
07:10 Now when we begin to obey God, that is godliness, not just contentment. Contentment. Contentment.
07:16 No, no. God let them with godliness do what he says. Now, all this career, business and all, yes, we also studied, we also became professionals.
07:24 I also became professionals, became running businesses and all that. But actually, finally the devil comes to steal, kill and destroy. If you do not have the power of Christ in you at one point of time, whether in the marriage, whether in the job, whether in finances, whether in owning properties, whether in your games, in hobbies, your friends, the devil will come to steal, kill and destroy.
07:48 Until you take a stand and say, I have power in Christ against demonic forces. I have power in Christ and I want to do what my Lord, the husband of my soul, put me here. For each of us have got a long term career.
08:06 This, whether doctoring or accounting or whatever, is a short term earthly career. Earth God says, your life is like a vapor. It’s poop gone, poop gone.
08:18 Life is like a vapor. So now. But what is our actual career? Actual career? Of course the world will say vocation and all that.
08:28 It is doing the will of Christ, Holy priests unto Christ. 1, 2. We are ambassadors for Christ.
08:40 3. We will set the captives free. People are suffering.
08:41 We will set the captives free in the name of Jesus Christ. These are callings of great nature. One soul, as far as God is concerned, is worth more than the whole world.
08:56 He said, what does it profit a man to gain the whole world? And Lose his own soul. So what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul? So therefore, brothers and sisters, one soul is worth more than the whole world for Christ. So when we begin to do his will.
09:15 In fact, Jesus said, you will do greater works than I more. Because he only spent three years and went had to go and give us power. And he had to go to sit on the right hand side of Father God.
09:27 Why he had to go? Because he said if he doesn’t go, he can’t send the Holy Spirit into us. We need the Holy Spirit power now. In that power we are looking souls for Christ to settle.
09:40 Why the soul can have peace in Christ. Souls are suffering, brothers and sisters. Our own family members are suffering.
09:46 Yes, we will tell them. Some of them may not listen, but love them. Now even this.
09:51 Whatever counsel we give, people don’t follow. We will love them, but will not follow them. I will not follow them because I have suffered enough.
10:00 I know my safety and joy and peace and my safety for future. My success in the Lord is only in the Lord the world. I am not going to follow because why danger.
10:12 I already suffered. That’s why the servants here all have suffered. They all come out and Jesus has given them a great calling.
10:20 Each of them are caring, loving, godly counsel. God said get godly counsel. If you don’t know the scripture, can’t hear God.
10:28 Many times in this kind of heart desire people have, they cannot hear God. The heart desire is so strong. You are only hearing your heart and your mind.
10:38 And you think it’s right. Why? It doesn’t seem wrong. Want to do medicine.
10:42 Medicine. It doesn’t seem wrong, isn’t it? I will help people when I become a doctor. You know, recently there’s a report I read here Malaysia.
10:51 I think half of the interns are unable to be placed or something. I’m talking about medical interns. They can’t get internship.
10:57 Somebody waiting for six months or something. There was some report. Now having said that, only God will know, isn’t it? How will we know? We won’t know.
11:05 At that time when you were studying five years ago. We won’t know. We won’t know.
11:09 Six, seven years ago. Finally come here. No internship.
11:12 Struggling to get internship stigma. But God would have known it a date. That is why follow Christ now.
11:18 Godly counsel those parents, those single mothers particularly suffering to pay the bills. Children education so costly. There are ways to settle these.
11:27 Get hold of the servants that get to the grace of life. Ask for counsel. Be open, brothers.
11:32 And sisters, nobody is going to condemn you. But they’ll tell you the truth. And if you do not like the counsel, you go and do what you want to do.
11:39 Nobody is going to force you. Because why? We are not policemen, we are not dictators. We are just merely servants.
11:46 We can only tell. But if we do not follow the counsel and all that which we know is true, we cannot participate with you because it will harm us. So we will tell the truth and move on.
11:58 Because everyone wants to hold on to their own salvation, to their own joy that they have. They don’t lose their peace and joy. So they will tell you counsel if you do not want to do.
12:08 We will still love you, but we will not participate. That’s how we follow. Why? That’s how God says so.
12:15 Flee from all semblance of evil. What is the semblance of evil? Anything looking evil, anything that goes against the word of God. We run away.
12:25 Run away because we don’t want the frequencies, all these messages, all entering our heart and mind. And we begin slowly. We end up doing wrong.
12:32 We don’t want all that. We want righteousness, peace and joy. We want to love everyone as God has commanded us.
12:34 We want to do works as he has commanded. Just set the captives captive free. Therefore, brothers and sisters, today is a great day.
12:46 There is a hope and a future in Christ. Anyone having this, money problems, whatever, get to the grace of life. Somebody will counsel you in many languages, in several languages.
12:57 And this is all doable. People have come off. People have come to.
13:02 Their lives have changed. They have become wonder to many. When they came, they were lost and forsaken, really without Christ.
13:10 Now Christ has come into their lives. We are here to teach and guide, but not force. We cannot and it’s not our.
13:18 We have our own fear of God. We don’t want to offend God. We want to love all.
13:25 Therefore, brothers and sisters, today is a wonderful day again. But examine yourselves against the word of God. Examine your heart’s desire against the word of God.
13:35 So your heart. Now, in the name of Jesus Christ, I command my heart and mind to trust God. To rely on God.
13:42 To rely on Jesus Christ to obey Jesus Christ. To obey his commandments. In the name of Jesus Christ, I command the heart and mind to obey the commandments of Jesus Christ.
13:54 Because it’s a cure and a prescription for me. It’s a remedy for me. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray.

AI-generated transcript below — please excuse any errors
00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth, brothers and sisters, Power of Christ Daily 23rd of July 2015 now somebody, one of our children of God have asked for worry and depression regarding sharing something on worry and depression. Now it’s important, of course, it’s very important because depression is harming people and killing people all over the world. So science has found now that when something uneasy, shocking something happens to somebody’s life suddenly. And what happens then? Then what happens is the worry will keep coming back.
00:43 They will keep coming back. The thoughts of the trauma. Maybe somebody died in the family, some accident, some issue, then some divorce, some children gone wrong, something.
00:55 So that begins to bother the soul again and again and again. And within 21 days the worry is so concreted inside there that all average days, these are signs. There’s nothing really fits or permanent about these things.
01:09 So then what happens? Then again and again and again, it’s concreted. So the worry doesn’t really leave them. But they do not know worry is a spirit.
01:18 That is why God commanded us, do not worry. When Father said do not worry, it’s not a request, it’s a command. And a command, as we know, it’s a prescription, it’s a remedy, it’s a cure that we know.
01:31 The Hebrew translation is like that. It’s a cure for us. And then from within another 21 days, anxiety roots him.
01:40 It seems it’s completely anxious. This person will be anxiety for everything, everything going on. So never stable.
01:47 It is shaking the person. And then over time, trauma. That means traumatic, means it is really, really inside.
01:53 That’s why the spirit has taken complete control from there. All kinds of things happen. These things, post traumatic syndrome, phobias, attention deficit disorders and all the personality disorders, eating disorders, hatred, anger, all that will be sitting down there.
02:12 Addictions. So begin to get addicted, booze, whatever. And I know it happened to me too.
02:18 So only Jesus set us free. Now, brothers and sisters, we have a solution in Christ. The Jesus that we know came to set the captive free.
02:27 And they came to set the captive free. First the captive has to turn to Jesus. The captives have to turn to Jesus.
02:34 They must want Jesus. They must want a solution, a brokenhearted and a contrite spirit. So we have to help them.
02:43 That is why I ask you, brothers and sisters, go to the graceoflife.com and there are people, brothers and sisters, servants, pastors, all willing to help because they all have suffered and they are set free. And they’ll take counsel together and begin to sort out in languages what English, Tamil, Chinese, basa, Basa, Indon. And even with the languages they do not know, they’ll find a way.
03:07 By God’s mercy, we have to find a way to help this person. Now God will show a way because he loves you. So this person first of all must come to the point of now wanting Jesus as a Lord and master, Lord and Savior, and to believe the heart that Jesus Christ died and took away the sins.
03:26 So there’ll be self condemnation, there will be lack of self esteem, there’ll be no self esteem guilt. All these things would have been collecting in this particular person and all that was happening. And it happens all the time, brothers and sisters, and leads to suicide, even leads to suicide.
03:44 So what we do first of all for this person, if the name is given in the name of Jesus Christ, or you can do it, brother or sister, you pray for them. In the name of Jesus Christ, I bind every spirit of death. I bind the spirit of death in the name of Jesus Christ and command you to get out of this person and not to return.
03:52 In the name of Jesus Christ, I bind and break the hold of a spirit of suicide. And I command spirit of suicide to get out and not to return. I release peace and righteousness, peace and joy into the soul, the soul that God loves.
04:17 God loves this person. God loves this soul. And I ask for the breath of God.
04:23 Now is the time, brothers and sisters. You will do the breath of God. You will do the breath of God.
04:27 Make them. Oh they will begin to feel released. Do it again and again until the thing release comes finish.
04:34 The person must be set free. Now at the same time, we bind the spirit of worry, bind the spirit of anxiety, trauma, whatever, post traumatic syndrome, all this, whatever they call it, you can bind it in Jesus name and say, get out in Jesus name and begin do the breath of God. Now you can do the neck thing, you know, the stiff neck nerves because all this would have caught the person.
04:36 Now at the same time, there’s a song there in the, in the graceoflife.com called Mercy saw me this song. A sister, Jesus saved her under difficult conditions and she’s so grateful to Jesus and she sang the song with her whole heart in the spirit, in faith. And many, many others have sang the song.
05:19 But what this is, the song has touched many souls. Download that song and begin to hear it. And many souls are hearing this song.
05:27 They, they know there is hope because Jesus saw, saw you, sees you as what you will become. That’s what the song says. Jesus sees you as what you will become.
05:36 What a wonderful God. Now, brothers and sisters, this problem of this worry, do not worry. Jesus said, do not be anxious for anything, but give thanks in all things.
05:48 This practice we have to do, we have to do because we do not practice this, we always will face these problems and therefore we do not want this kind of issues. So, brothers and sisters, we now want to go into a situation whereby we are able to help people. Now brothers and sisters who are in the power of Christ group learn to help people.
06:12 Want to help people looking out for souls to set them free. Set them free. Be a doer of the Word.
06:17 Be a doer of the Word. Now this person who is suffering from depression and all that, now they’ll be taking pills. Now some of these pills make people worse without them knowing because it may be wrong prescription, Wrong prescription, no wrong.
06:32 So because not all the countries and all the hospitals have imaging devices to see how one drug works on this person, how the brain works and all that. Now at this time, it’s good to go and review. There is a segment that was taught some time ago called trees of the mind.
06:52 Trees of the mind. See that also now the love of God. This soul must know that God loves.
07:00 God is God is love and God loves. This person must receive, willing to receive the love of God and not reject it, not doubt it. Receive.
07:12 God loves. No matter what they have done before, God loves her and takes away the sin. As long as they come to God and ask Jesus Christ, forgive me, Lord, forgive me.
07:23 Sincerely in the heart, they want forgiveness. God gives forgiveness. Believing the heart that Jesus rose again, God washes away our sins.
07:31 So that’s the first step here. Now, having said that, these pills also don’t go and tell them not to take pills and take pills. It’s not our business to tell.
07:41 We are not qualified in that to say whether take pills or not to take pills. But take the names of the drugs, put in the Internet and use the word contraindications. Contraindication, Indication C O N T R A I N D I C A T I O N S Contraindication.
08:01 A list will come up written by their own medical, own pharmaceutical group. They’ll give a list of what can go wrong, what is bad with the drug. So this person, this brother sister must read this.
08:16 They can’t read. You read it for them and tell them this. And then they have to make their own decisions.
08:21 Because God has given every one of us a will, a will to decide, a will to decide now, soon after the same time. But if they want to just drop it and all tell them, they think carefully. Not just say God said, God said, God said.
08:37 Because many times in this kind of condition you can’t hear God. You’re in worry, anxiety or whatever. You’ll be hearing your own mind and other people telling you and all that.
08:46 So tell them, look, brother and sister, be very careful in how you do this. Step by step can wean yourself out of these drugs if you want. As your faith grows, as your belief in Christ grows and you begin to have more confidence.
09:01 You do that once you are doing things also. Even then I don’t want to tell you not to do because I have no authority, I have no qualification to do this or tell you take or not take each. You must go by what is led in the spirit.
09:15 But at the same time we pray for you. So now at the same time this person has to have righteousness, peace and joy. Righteousness as we know comes from Jesus Christ.
09:27 And then when the righteousness has come from Jesus Christ, we now must want things to do the right thing. Examining ourselves whether it is right or wrong. Peace and joy.
09:37 Peace comes from Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Joy comes worshipping him. Worship Jesus Christ.
09:43 So get this person to worship. And then when they begin to get released and then they can do the breath of God. Any number of times we have seen this in our own congregations.
09:53 Step by step, all the depression goes, all goes away. And they have a new life stage by stage. After a while they forgot that they were in this situation.
10:03 Like me also. After a while I have forgotten the time result. I was in all kinds of situations.
10:08 Because God is leading us to do the right thing. God is now making us serve others. We have become a blessing to others.
10:15 But this is real. This depression catches a lot of people. And then many times depression catches because of self seeking.
10:28 That also they must examine. So we don’t want to be self seeking anymore. We want to become selfless, selfless.
10:36 Jesus says become selfless. Love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. Love your neighbor as yourself.
10:43 That means we first have to be able to love us ourselves. Otherwise how to love our neighbor as ourselves. So when they got self condemnation, self rejection, self demeaning, no self esteem, all this, no love guilt, self guilt, all that has to go in Jesus Christ’s name.
11:02 They begin to accept the love of Jesus Christ and begin to walk in the love of Jesus Christ. And begin to love others with the love of Jesus Christ. But first start loving Jesus Christ.
11:13 What is loving Jesus Christ? He has prescribed for us walking in his commandments. That means there’s no confusion. No, I love.
11:21 He loves Jesus Christ. I love Jesus Christ. What is the measurement? What is the yardstick? We can compare and say, hey, are we truly loving Jesus Christ? Five of us will have five different ways of thinking how we love Jesus Christ.
11:34 We may feel we are loving, but we may not be doing the right thing. That’s not loving Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ says, this is the yardstick.
11:43 This is the measurement. If you love me, you keep my commandments. And what are his commandments? The cure, the healing, the remedy.
11:43 This is the commandment. So now if you love me, keep my commandments. So how to keep the commandments? When the spirit attack, not to keep the commandment, you cast it out.
12:01 When anxiety come in the name of Jesus Christ, I command the spirit of anxiety to get out, get out, get out. Burn in the blood of Jesus Jesus Christ, and you begin to worship. You begin to do the breath of God.
12:10 You begin to cast out these things. You begin to get a brother or sister to pray with you. Humbleness is asking help from somebody.
12:19 That’s humbleness. If you keep quiet, quiet, quiet. That may be pride, sister, brother, pride.
12:25 Not telling somebody, I’m feeling this. And a true Christian will not condemn you. A true Christian, a true believer will.
12:31 Come, come, sister. Come, brother, let’s together get rid of this. They won’t say, oh, you’re feeling like this.
12:37 They won’t ridicule you. Oh, you worry your anxiety. Oh, you are.
12:41 Oh, you’re forgetful. No, these are not true Christians. They are Christians who don’t care about people.
12:46 When the true follower hears that you are having something, you ask for help. They will stop everything and begin to help you. Why? Jesus Christ said, if you are mine, that means you love one another as I have loved you.
13:04 That’s a statement. Jesus made you love, command. Love one another as I have loved you.
13:10 And how did he love us? He gave himself up for us. That is why each of us must be willing to give ourselves up for another believer of Christ, another child of God. Whatever it is, we will stop and see.
13:23 But of course, if there are also false Christians or wolves in cheap clothing trying to take advantage of you, God said, be wise. Be wise as serpent, gentle as doves. Be wise.
13:34 Because some people may be trying to take advantage. You do not want to be caught in that. Run away, still love them, love them.
13:42 There’s no alternate here. Love all, love them, but do not partake with them. Run away and work out your own salvation.
13:52 Fear and trembling. First run away. First.
13:54 Settle yourself first. Now, brothers and sisters, this depression is a serious thing. All over the world you have information, you have power.
14:03 The power of Jesus Christ. You have a group under the power of Christ. Large number of people wanting to help.
14:12 In four different languages or more. What more? Brothers and sisters, Let us do this. Let us do this.
14:19 Let us not let this person in trauma be captive some more another single day. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

00:00 Praise Jesus Christ, brothers and sisters, today is 22 July 2015. The power of Christ daily titled Jealousy, envy, brittle bones and bent back. Brittle bones and bent back, Brothers and sisters, this jealousy and envy. We don’t even know that it may happen to us.
00:37 As I told you before, there are ministries now there are big ministries which do studies, they do healing, deliverance, they have doctors, they check, they check and see after, when the situation comes and when they are healed, when they identified what is the cause. And then they check and see. And then they have records.
00:58 By and large they found that jealousy and envy causes osteoporosis. That is in local language it will call you brittle bones and bent back is called scoliosis. Now there’s a case, a number of cases.
01:14 They found that this is a pattern and the one case I was reading, case study. This is a case study, not just a testimony, it was a case study whereby they found that there was a woman, a sister who loves God, who really loves God, who will praise God and she will gain praises and all that. But she was having scoliosis, it was getting worse and worse and one leg was getting shorter and shorter and the back was being bent and bent and excruciating pain.
01:45 She can’t stand for long. Then on investigation they found. Spiritual investigation, of course, spiritual investigation, not the.
01:54 And also because medical investigation already identified that this is the problem. They found that years ago, years ago, a husband was unfaithful and has committed adultery or seen adultery. Then this woman, this sister, had jealousy and envy over the other woman.
02:21 Jealousy and envy. And this jealousy and envy. Of course, finally their spirits also.
02:29 They have of course formed the thought, the thought process. Every time, thinking, thinking, thinking of this woman, the jealous envy of her. But her husband loves her more than I’m useless.
02:40 Self worth is gone. Low self esteem, bitterness, these are all secondary products, bitterness and all that. But more importantly in this case they found by statistics that jealousy and envy started having caused this problem.
02:58 For many women, jealousy and envy may be not an adultery issue for the husband, maybe other things, it may be jealousy and envy over your sister, over something else, over your neighbour. So jealousy and envy allowed to fester in the mind, fester, begin to grow. Of course, thorn bush will come and then life is being destroyed step by step.
03:21 As soon as she confessed, they started ministering. She confessed, ministering, repented and she didn’t want it. As soon as identified, the scoliosis started settling back, the leg started growing back and she was then healed.
03:40 The legs started growing back Immediately, because now we can command in the name of Jesus Christ for the leg to be of equal length. Many ministries are found by commanding that in the name of Jesus Christ. The legs begin to adjust, but the scoliosis, the bent back, sometimes straight away, it will begin to adjust straight away, sometimes over the period of time, depending on how all these deposits of jealousy and envy are taken away.
04:09 And so they found this is a real issue. Osteoporosis is a very big issue for women in uk. They found a couple of billion pounds are being spent every year in treating this large number of women having this all over the world.
04:25 A lot of women suffer from osteoporosis, brittle bones. And they found that, can you imagine? This is a cause. This is by and large a cause.
04:36 Now, that made me remember a sister. I’m sure she’s listening to this podcast today, this power of Christ. Today this sister had a similar issue.
04:48 Husband, adulterer, and she was working in a government clinic. And she cannot, after every two, three hours, she had to lie down. Finally, when we prayed for this, minister to her and we cast out the spirit of unforgiveness and all that, and the legs began to grow and adjust, back and the back, some adjustment, she feels better, but it keeps coming back, keeps coming back.
05:16 And this went on for several months. And then finally when I told her, look, you have to completely forgive this, you have to stop this thinking of this thing. And we cut the soul tie in the name of Jesus Christ.
05:27 I cut the soul tie between this husband of mine and me. I cut the soul tie. I command my soul to be tied to Jesus Christ and Jesus alone.
05:37 Jesus Christ and Jesus alone. And the soul, you give it to Jesus, the soul belongs to Jesus. Give it to him.
05:45 There’s peace in there. There’s peace in that soul being with Jesus. So when the sister started doing this over a period of time, completely.
05:55 Oh, now she’s retired, she’s serving the Lord. She’s traveling, traveling and ministering to people and helping other women in such difficult situations. Can you imagine how heartbroken and all.
06:08 Now I’ve told you all, I was adulterer myself. So now, of course, when I came to the Lord, I understand how much damage and hurt I’ve caused my wife. Thank Jesus.
06:16 Jesus gave her the power and the grace to forgive and to actually love, serve all. She even loved the person I was involved with. This is the true power of Jesus Christ.
06:29 Jesus Christ. Love is true power. True power in Jesus Christ.
06:34 Mercy, grace, every good thing is there now by Extension. So remember, brothers and sisters, you can be a real help here. You can look at anybody with these brittle bones and this bent back business and the leg shortened or whatever suffering.
06:50 You can then ask them to go through ministry, ask them to investigate, don’t need to accuse them, don’t need to embarrass them. Take them quietly and say, sister, these are the case studies. And you can use this power of Christ daily, this particular segment and tell them, hear it, this has happened.
07:06 If you want heal, investigate, sister, investigate. Ask Jesus to show you, ask the Holy Spirit to show you where you have gone wrong. And this thing.
07:14 And look this woman, the situation. You know how cunning the devil is. The devil is so cunning.
07:20 What the devil has done is he makes you the victim. Of course you are the victim because your husband is committing adultery. So of course you feel you are the victim.
07:30 But in being a victim, what has done happen is you become a real damage to your own self, damaging your own self by having these things. What a sad situation. What a cunning devil this is.
07:44 That’s why Jesus came to set the captive free. Jesus came to set me free, came set my wife free, came, set every one of us free. But we didn’t realize the power of Jesus Christ.
07:57 My wife was more rubbish I was becoming. The more rubbish I was becoming, the more religious my wife was becoming. But didn’t solve the problem until Jesus came.
08:10 Until we surrendered to Jesus. Until she surrendered to Jesus. That is why, although we may feel that we are the victim, but if we allow the spirit of victimization to be new, the spirit of victimization to be new, it will cause internal damage, serious damage.
08:28 Now, so we being victims. So there are many, many women who are in this position being victimized and they believe there’s no way out because their entire soul tie is with the husband and finish. Now you must cut the soul tie with the husband, put the soul back to Jesus Christ where who rightfully owns the soul, rightfully, at the same time she has to admit, confess, repent, ask Jesus.
08:55 Take it away. Lord, I need perfect health. Because you are my Jesus, you are my son.
08:59 You are the son of the living God, you love me. Now, having said this, by extension, now we know by extension the generational spirits and we also know spirits and frequencies of such thoughts. The world calls it toxic thoughts, God calls it sin, such thoughts when you have such thoughts.
09:21 That’s why when women are pregnant, they have to be very careful what is going into them, what is going into their cells, what has been picked up by their very Cell. Can you imagine if you have such toxic thoughts or sin thoughts. Every beat of your heart, every bit of your heart will go and wash every cell and make every cell remember on and on and on, every bit of your heart.
09:46 And then this becomes physical. Because what we know from the spirit, from the thoughts, it then becomes physical. First it becomes in the brain, the cells.
09:57 The brain cells become looking like pound bushes and inflamed and all that. And then it finally uses the heart to pump through this information and the body then becomes this sin. The sin goes on and on.
10:13 But of course the women will say, what? I’m not the cause, he’s my husband. True, true. But are we going to hold on to this? If you hold on, unforgiveness and bitterness and all this, it’s damaging you.
10:28 It’s damaging me. That is why God says lover. Now we begin to understand clearer and clearer why Jesus said, love your enemy.
10:36 So this woman who your husband has been involved with is supposed to be an enemy. But God said, love your enemy. And Jesus said, you can do it because he has taken all your suffering, all your curses, all your hurt, all your wounds, all your unforgiveness, all your bitterness, all your generational curses, all that taken and his faith is in you.
11:00 The faith of Jesus Christ is in you. The glory of God is in you. So of course you can do it in the name of Jesus Christ, because it is his faith.
11:11 And now you must understand, there are also scriptures to say, if you do not forgive, then father God will not forgive you. There are scriptures that are very clear. There are other scriptures.
11:24 For instance, your bones will dry up with this bitterness and unforgiveness and hate and all that. Your bones will dry up. Now we know osteoporosis dry up means become porous.
11:34 You see the problem? Arthritis. Now, by extension, when the. When the woman is carrying a baby and generational.
11:44 Now she, the woman, the mother herself, this mother who is carrying this baby, innocent baby. But the frequency is touching the baby. Every heartbeat of the mother is touching and washing the baby in the womb.
11:58 Now, can you imagine now generational curses. Jesus already told us in the word, idol worship goes to three, four generations. And what idol worship? You do not want to worship Jesus Christ.
12:10 You keep on holding on to this means, by extension you are actually idolizing your own thoughts, idolizing your own feelings, idolizing your own things. This is harming us. So we must also, for children are also affected in all kinds of ways.
12:26 We have to go and examine and see is there Anything we did. Therefore, when I came to the Lord, I’ll be thinking, Lord, when I know the spiritual plane already I know the soul ties matters already I’ll be checking whether anything is going to transfer to my children. I begin to cut every day in Jesus Christ’s name.
12:42 And then of course from time to time when my children do something, I think whether I have the cause and I ask for mercy, Lord. Cut the lineage of this sin, Lord. Cut mercy, Lord.
12:51 And he does. Jesus Christ does that. So brothers and sisters, today as we know, examine ourselves and love all.
13:00 Love all. That’s the key. Love all.
13:04 And therefore in fact God says if you are going to worship, if you know a brother or sister has ought against you, or in fact particularly if you have something, lay your gift on the altar, no worship, go and settle there. That brothers and sisters among. Among family of Christ, among the children of God, even somebody thinks something wrong about you and you think and they think you have done some wrong.
13:28 You have to leave my praise and worship. I cannot praise and worship first. I have to go and settle my brother and sister first.
13:36 All these causes things brother and sister. I just want to love all. After I knew this simple thing and I can do it because of blood of Jesus Christ by myself those days I would have reacted violently, that’s all.
13:50 So in Jesus name now we love. We love for our own sake. Oh, wonderful news to know this.
13:55 Let us love. Love all. In the name of Jesus Christ, I command my heart and mind to love all today.

James 2:14-26 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
14 What good is it, my brothers, if someone claims to have faith but has no actions to prove it? Is such “faith” able to save him?
15 Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food,
16 and someone says to him, “Shalom! Keep warm and eat hearty!” without giving him what he needs, what good does it do?
17 Thus, faith by itself, unaccompanied by actions, is dead.
18 But someone will say that you have faith and I have actions. Show me this faith of yours without the actions, and I will show you my faith by my actions!
19 You believe that “God is one”? Good for you! The demons believe it too — the thought makes them shudder with fear!
20 But, foolish fellow, do you want to be shown that such “faith” apart from actions is barren? 21 Wasn’t Avraham avinudeclared righteous because of actions when he offered up his sonYitz’chak on the altar?
22 You see that his faith worked with his actions; by the actions the faith was made complete;
23 and the passage of the Tanakh was fulfilled which says, “Avraham had faith in God, and it was credited to his account as righteousness.” He was even called God’s friend.
24 You see that a person is declared righteous because of actions and not because of faith alone.
25 Likewise, wasn’t Rachav the prostitute also declared righteous because of actions when she welcomed the messengers and sent them out by another route? 26 Indeed, just as the body without a spirit is dead, so too faith without actions is dead.

00:01 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, the power of Christ Daily 21st of July 2015 titled Faith, True faith and dead Faith. The Bible talks about true faith and dead faith in the book of James 2, 1426. Now simply James, the Apostle James, you know, he’s saying, telling us, look, if you say you believe.
00:31 He’s telling us, if you say you believe that God is one almighty God and all that, then he says the demons also believe too. They too, when the thought makes them tremble and shake with fear and shudder. He’s saying this Apostle James saying, look, even the demons believe God is one and God is almighty God.
00:56 So what is the use of simplicity? I believe, I believe, I believe. That’s what James is saying. But James says, look here, in fact, in the complete Jewish translation, he says, you foolish fellow.
01:08 In 20 he says, you foolish fellow. Can you imagine calling us foolish fellows if we do not understand this now, we are not foolish. God has given us sound mind.
01:16 God has given us a sound mind. He did not give us a spirit of fear, but sound mind, boldness, power. He has given all that.
01:28 Now therefore we will understand what James is saying today. One is, he says, look, Abraham said he has faith and his faith was shown and proven when he sacrificed, when Isaac, he went to sacrifice Isaac on a mountaintop. He was prepared to slaughter him.
01:47 Because God said, go and sacrifice Isaac. Because Abraham knew that he keeps looking at the stars. And he says, look, God already said that the nation, he will give him a nation, as many as countless number of people through Isaac.
02:05 So Abraham thinking, look, no problem, he asked me to sacrifice, I’ll sacrifice Isaac. But he will raise, somehow or other he’ll raise Isaac up some or other he’ll give Isaac right back. Because he promised God promised, promised that I’ll make you a nation of countless.
02:27 So therefore Abraham had faith and his faith was proven by the fact that he was prepared to sacrifice Isaac because his faith was true and full. Now, the same way we can easily test our faith. Because James says there are true faith and dead faith.
02:47 He says, if you say your faith and then you do not do the right things that God has told us to do, then he calls it dead faith. Dead faith. Faith is not alive.
03:00 So there may be some faith, but faith is on something else. Faith on Christ was. Will produce good works.
03:07 Will produce good works. Of course we are not saved by good works. Good works cannot save us because sin is already entered us.
03:17 And only the blood of Jesus Christ, the precious blood of Jesus Christ can wash it away. Because he Took our sins on the cross. Now this has far reaching implications for us this morning and all our lives because there are people who say, I love God, I love God, I love God.
03:33 But they are doing wrong things. If you love God, you will then begin to examine yourself to see how my conduct is. The Bible says, examine yourself, brothers and sisters, examine yourselves.
03:50 And therefore I said, remember, the science tells us if you have one issue going on in your head all the time, some bad issue all the time you are thinking these things or looking at bad things or whatever, it will grow some kind of a tree that looks like a thorn bush. I call it thorn bush because it’s so damaging. It looks like in the brain, actual physical brain.
04:10 It becomes physically there. And if you have good things and all, it grows a good tree, actual physical tree like cells there with dendrites, with branches and all beautiful. It looks.
04:21 Now they have found in science now that almost 90%, I think it’s, they say 87%, I think almost 90% of all illnesses, all diseases that are known to man has got a spiritual root, has got a spiritual reason. The remaining 10% or 13% or whatever it may be because we went and drank bad water or had bad food or something. But almost 90% or some, you know, some viruses and all these other things that have been released, almost 90% of all illnesses are due to spiritual roots, spiritual problems.
05:08 And then they found another thing. Hundred over diseases, hundred over diseases are caused from fear, anxiety and stress. These three things, fear, anxiety and stress.
05:25 Fear, anxiety and stress. Can you imagine? Hundred diseases are caused by these things. About 90% of all our diseases are due to these spiritual issues.
05:38 Now let’s look at this. That means having life faith. True faith is critical for our well being.
05:47 Having true faith and life faith is critical. It’s extremely important for our well being. So what is stress? Stress is simply defined as any mental emotional burden, trouble, burden, pressure.
06:04 Any emotional mental pressure on us is called stress. And this can come from many, many ways. It can come from our work, it can come from our family, it can come from other areas.
06:12 It can come from a false belief, false belief and false desires. How does temptation come? God says very simple. It comes because we are drawn by our own heart desire.
06:28 Our own heart desire will always look for something that is not really going to be helpful, but just to satisfy the flesh. So now this kind of stresses we have to get rid of. And we can, we can now God told God, when Jesus praying for the disciples and in fact praying for us also, what he Said yesterday, remember we talked about glory of God is in us and he prayed for that.
06:56 When you go the whole chapter there, it’s a wonderful chapter he talks about. He prays to Father God to say they are in the world. I’m not asking you to take them out of this world, but they be in us and we be in them.
07:16 So we believers, I’m talking about believers, believe in the heart. We believe in the heart. We command it in the name of Jesus Christ.
07:25 Believe in the heart that Jesus died on the cross and rose again and he is my Saviour, he is my Lord, he is my God. This kind of belief in the heart will be able to overcome fear, anxiety and stress. We can’t be running away from wherever the issue is.
07:44 But of course if you are unable to handle stress somewhere, including maybe your job, you better ask God because he loves you. Jesus Christ loves you and Jesus Christ can do anything for you. If there is stress in the place, somebody giving stress in the job place, you can.
08:04 Of course the only way to overcome somebody giving all kinds of things is to make our heart love them. Make our heart love them. Remember that is the fundamental pillar love.
08:17 We are love. God is love. He made us his own.
08:20 We are his children. We are love. So when people are giving problems in the workplace, brothers and sisters, I have been there.
08:27 So when given problems that time I didn’t know Christ so I acted very badly. Now only way to replace our heart in our heart, the only way to replace this thing that people telling us and putting us to shame or whatever is with love. We love them because our Father said love them.
08:50 Now as you begin to love them, the stress won’t be there in your soul. You command your heart and mind to love them. You picture Jesus Christ on the cross, how he suffered for you picture him in the grave of the wicked.
09:04 How faith is held and came. And he says, come unto me and I shall give you rest. The words he promises us.
09:11 And we begin to picture this and of course on the point of problem, try and move away to some place quiet, maybe even the toilet or ladies or gents and begin to breathe the breath of God. Breath of God. You begin to breathe and you begin to meditate on the words and promises Jesus has given you.
09:31 I will never leave you or forsake you. Ah, the stress will leave. The stress will leave.
09:38 But let us say this issue is becoming more and more. Then you have to ask yourself, maybe Jesus doesn’t want me to be here. Maybe Jesus doesn’t want me to Be here in this job saying, lord, if this is your will, give me another job, Lord.
09:57 Another job God will arrange. You begin to ask. You begin to picture a job that has peace.
09:59 You begin to picture. Remember in your mind you begin to believe. In your heart you start to believe.
10:11 And you begin to meditate and imagine. And remember these wicked people were trying to build a portal, the Tower of Babel, for the demons to come. They are wicked.
10:21 Imagine also they can have it done. What more earth. You begin to imagine the good job, the new Job or fantastic job.
10:27 No, none of this. But first you must try this Overcoming distress. Overcoming distress.
10:36 Why? Because you are an overcomer. We are an overcomer. We persevere.
10:41 We persevere because we are the power of Jesus Christ. We are not alone. You are not alone.
10:46 You are not forsaken. Even in the stress, Jesus is still with you. The faith of Jesus Christ is in you.
10:54 The glory of Father God is in you. Oh brothers and sisters. And you will have true faith.
11:01 True faith is wanting to know what God will do, what God wants you to do in these circumstances and begin to move. Now, at the same time we forget that women who are homemakers. We forget many times women are homemakers.
11:18 We think about the stress only in the office and all. There will be stress in the home. There will be stress in the home because it may be unbelieving husband, children are doing mayhem difficulties, neighbors must be giving trouble.
11:34 We don’t know the same rule applies. First love. Love them first.
11:40 You must bring your heart to the point of loving them. Because you cannot bring your heart to the point of loving them. You’re not going to overcome this fear, anxiety, stress can only overcome with love.
11:55 Running away from this situation for a while will not work because it is still love that will settle you. And you are love. So now you may be stressed out.
12:05 Oh, the rain has come. The clothes have gone wet. Now you are stressing out.
12:10 Remember this stress hundred diseases, fear, anxiety and stress caused us. And then this stress on and on creates real cells in the brain that look like thorn bushes, red and inflamed. Why do we want to have all this? So we overcome immediately in the midst of this problem.
12:30 Yes, you may have to run out and take the clothes in because the clothes get wet. You have to do the whole rig morrow again. Yes, it’s tough.
12:36 So you run out and do that. After that, take a moment, stop, stop, stop, stop. And worship.
12:43 Worship Jesus Christ. In fact, you sing a song. In fact, you sing a song.
12:48 Brothers and sisters, when I came to the Lord. I don’t know. I don’t know.
12:52 I only knew worldly songs. I changed the worldly songs into words for my Christ. I took the worldly songs that all the time I knew they were playing in my head.
13:01 I put them. I love you, Jesus. I love you.
13:05 Make me love you, Lord Jesus. Oh, you love me, Jesus Christ. You begin to in the name of Jesus Christ, you begin to make songs and love him from your heart.
13:15 Heartfelt songs, brothers and sisters. Heartfelt songs. You then sit quietly few seconds, few minutes.
13:23 Blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus. You will see a fantastic change. You will see, you will feel the presence of God in you.
13:34 Why the glory of God is in you. Jesus Christ, through the Holy Spirit is in you. Jesus Christ is interceding for you.
13:45 The Holy Spirit is interceding for you. The interceding that your faith will hold, that you will continue being changed from glory to glory. Because why they love you, Father.
13:57 God loves you. Jesus Christ loves you. The Holy Spirit loves you.
14:01 And they have all power. So, brothers and sisters, today, this morning is a wonderful day. So we in Jesus name will overcome.

The glory of God is the infinite beauty and greatness of God’s manifold perfections.
The infinite beauty- of HIS character and his worth and his attributes, all of his perfections and greatness are beautiful as they are seen and there are many of them.

00:16 First of all, as I told you all, I remember the other scripture for myself. If I think I know something I do not know as I ought to know as yet. Therefore that keeps me in check, that keeps me humble to know that I do not know the whole picture.
00:32 I know some things, but I will use. God said, whatever we know, we do be a doer of the Word and we begin to meditate on the things that we know. Things of God, the promise of God.
00:44 That’s what I do. That’s what I believe many Christians would be doing. I pray those who are not doing do this.
00:50 It will benefit you, it really will benefit you because you are meditating on the precepts of God. Precepts of Christ. The things of God.
00:59 Otherwise our mind will be filled with other things that come and rob our future, actually rob our well being. The water will change, the mind will have bad trees growing, all kinds of rubbish. Thank Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
01:12 Now therefore the glory of God is very difficult. Everybody finds it difficult to completely comprehend because it is glory of God. Now I too.
01:24 Similarly, we know some things. Now the glory of God is so many things put together. But one of the things is also called God’s reputation.
01:36 God’s honour is there. Now, for instance, in amplified version of Exodus 15:11 he says, who is like you, O Lord? Who is like you among all the gods? The gods are small gods. The small gods, all the.
01:52 Every small God, every God has been created except Almighty Father God. He was, is and ever will be. So is the word of God, that is Jesus Christ.
02:01 So is the Spirit of God, that’s the Holy Spirit. The rest of it are fallen angels masquerading as small gods, getting power and abusing people, demanding worship and all that. Now, leaving all the small gods aside, we will want to go to the Almighty God.
02:21 Why? Very simple. If you are in a country and you are looking for a project or a contract or whatever, and you know the prime minister, will you go to one of the district officer for a big project? When the prime minister say come and see me, no, we go to Almighty God. Almighty God.
02:39 We go to Father God, my Father. You go to your father. You don’t go to your neighbour, you go to your own Father, who, who is like you, glorious in holiness, awesome in splendor, doing wonders.
02:54 He is not just staying put, he is doing wonders. The glory of God is The infinite beauty and greatness of God’s manifold perfection. This I’ve taken in some preacher who has put this this way.
03:06 I found it very appealing. The glory of God is the infinite beauty and greatness of God’s manifold perfections. Many, many, many, many perfections.
03:16 The infinite beauty of his character. His character and his worth and his attributes. Worth.
03:23 His worth, infinite attribute, infinite. All his perfections and greatness are beautiful as they are seen. And there are many, many of them.
03:32 That’s why the word manifold was used in Psalm 19:1. The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament showed his. His handiwork.
03:43 Firmament is a surrounding around the earth. And then of course, we can look at the stars, we can look at the skies. The heavens themselves declare the glory of God.
03:52 That means whatever you see is so beautiful, so fantastic, it is because of the glory of God they exist. That is showing the glory of God, what God can do, what his character is, what his holiness is, what his perfection is, what his attributes are. Now one of the things we used to do when I was first born again, they would say that somebody is coming from foreign countries or us or whatever, and I’ll take my family and run there.
04:20 I’ll take my family and run there. And then hoping to learn something or whatever. Yes, we are blessed sometimes.
04:29 Sometimes it was just a money game that we are pulling, but sometimes we actually blessed people actually genuinely preaching, teaching. But this money game has become too much now. You know all kinds of things some of them understand demand big money before they even come to a country.
04:46 So you must be wise. That’s why God said, be wise. The wisdom of God must be in you.
04:53 Now then there will be. Sometimes they say the glory of God will fall come and all that the glory of God will fall. So a lot of people are still doing this.
05:02 Running here, running there, running. We must together in one congregation, worship God, fellowship one another. God says a command.
05:11 When you go to service, you go to serve, not to just be served. You must have the attitude of serving people, looking around, helping others. Because you are a child of God.
05:23 Caring is not just giving money or something. Yeah, you have to give because you see a brother in difficulty. Don’t give.
05:30 Something is wrong. It is also yourself giving of yourself. Jesus Christ gave himself for us.
05:39 So you go with that attitude. You will be blessed. God will bless you.
05:41 God will bless you. Now in John, so we go here, go there, waiting for the glory of God to fall. And sometimes there are healings.
05:53 Definitely I’ve seen the healings because of group worship. They cry out together and God generously provides. God answers the prayers and they sense the presence of God.
06:09 Yes, thank Jesus Christ. But my question has always been, what happens if there are countries and there are people who cannot meet even like this? What happens when people cannot meet? Because many some countries they persecuted, severely persecuted. You can’t gather.
06:29 They are burning churches, even burning people, burning the people. You know, this wickedness has gone all over the world. So now and remember.
06:40 So what happens? What happens, Lord? What happens to these people? How? How will they get the glory of God? How will they get your presence? How will they get the manifestation of your presence? That is why in John 17:22, this is very, very important. Brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters, if you can grasp this and meditate on this, this will really bring your faith up. John 17:22 and the glory which thou gavest me, that thou gave me, glory that you gave me.
07:14 Jesus is speaking to his Father. And the glory, Lord, Father, God, you gave me, Father, you gave me the glory I have given them. He’s talking to the disciples.
07:24 Upon the disciples that they may be one, even as we are one. The glory that God gave Jesus Christ, he has given us who want to be his disciples, who want to follow him, who want to obey him, who want to please him, who want to love him. He has given.
07:45 Now Jesus has given that glory to us. So the glory of Father God is in you. This is the most important thing to understand.
07:55 The faith of Jesus Christ is in you. The glory of God, glory of Jesus Christ. The glory of God that was in Jesus Christ is also in us, is in you.
08:08 So we cannot go anywhere. It’s okay. It’s okay.
08:11 There are countries when people are suffering, they cannot gather. And all they must remember the glory of God is inside them, is inside you. Now if you begin to manage this, thinking about it, meditate on this infinite beauty, the character of God, his worth, his attributes, his perfections, his reputation, his splendor, his holiness, his perfection, greatness.
08:37 All beautiful things that he has which is showing through the wonders of the heavens and the earth is showing, is in you, is in us. Now. This realization now how things come to manifest when you begin to meditate and imagine.
08:55 Because remember yesterday God said those people imagine and they’ll get whatever they want. So and they were wicked people. Wicked people and trying to get the portal open.
09:03 So the demons, the fallen angels can come and do all kinds of things. They actually against God. But they imagine themselves can happen means now what about us in the name of Jesus Christ.
09:15 In the name of Jesus Christ, I command my heart and mind to know every cell of my body. To know, in the name of Jesus Christ, that I have in me the glory of God, the glory of my Father, the glory of my Father. God is in me because of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
09:34 Jesus Christ, who calls me brother, who is not ashamed to call me brother, that because of this Jesus, the son of the living God who loves me. The glory of God, Father, is in me. Now I must walk, I must think.
09:51 If the reputation of God is in me, how will I act? How will I be seen by others? Will I be just like them, like the wicked? Will I be just like the people who say anything and do anything? Or will I be the person I’m supposed to be? The person I am actually? Because all things are passed away, all things are made new. So when my mouth speaks, am I speaking things that glorifies God, that glorifies Jesus Christ. When my mind thinks and I brought the things of my mind and demolish those things are not of God, demolish those things, not of Christ.
10:31 I demolish it. I break it. I squash it, destroy it.
10:34 Am I meditating on the wonderful things that will then give me health, that will grow good trees in my brain physically, and the water in my body and my mind will become crystals that are so beautiful. Because I am meditating on the promises of God. And I want to act on the promises of God because I’m a doer.
10:55 I’m a doer, not just a hearer. Now, in Matthew 5:16, he says, Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father, which is in heaven. The light, the light of Christ is in me.
11:12 Because Jesus said what? Jesus said this. I am the light of the world. I spoke this earlier.
11:19 And then he says later, you are the light. We are the light, brothers and sisters. We are the light for a dark world, a world that’s fallen, a world that has.
11:31 We were fallen. He picked us up. What a wonderful God.
11:36 What a loving God. He picked us up and said, you are the light now. You are the light of the world.
11:41 He was the light. He is the light of the world. He gave the light to us.
11:45 Now when people see there must be light in us, there must be direction, there must be goodness in us, our speech must be peppered with holiness and goodness. The Bible says that now, in the name of Jesus Christ, we can do it. Why we are not doing by our power.
12:02 I’m not depending on my power to do these things. I will meditate on the power of Jesus Christ and I’ll begin to do and his word inside me will make me do. My character will change all the things rubbish I was doing all gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, all gone.
12:17 I’m now focusing on the group things I will do for others. I will do good works now in Christ, not for my selfish sake, not my self seeking sake, but in a selfless sake. I will do so that my Father God is glorified.
12:32 His Name is glorified. Glorify his name. Brothers and sisters, wherever you are, meditate on this.
12:40 The glory of Jesus Christ is in you. The glory of God is in you. The glory.
12:45 Oh what will you do today with his glory? What will you do with his glory? You will see and love people, love all. God is love. If his glory is in there, yes, it’s in here.
12:59 Because we decided to accept him to be our Lord and Saviour and we want to follow Him. His glory is in us and his love is in us. And his love must be so filled in us that we love others without condition, without oh, they must do something for us.
13:15 Then we love that. He says the word of God says even the wicked do that, that they love somebody who loves them. We love all, love all, but remember loving all.
13:27 And he said, if you want to be sons of the most high God, loving even your enemies. But remember this, when people are doing wrong things, we love them but we don’t be with them. Run away.
13:38 Because flee from all semblance of evil. Run away. Anything evil they’re doing, run away.
13:43 Run away. Don’t be part of them. Don’t sit down there.
13:45 Don’t try to convince them that they won’t. They’re not listening. You tell them about Jesus Christ not listening.
13:51 Humble yourself and move away. Don’t do what they are doing. Don’t be there and collect the spirits that are moving.
13:57 But you, when they need something, you will love them, you’ll care for them. Whatever you can do for them, you’ll do for them. But you’ll not do what they want you to do.
14:09 You will do what your Father God wants you to do, your Father God wants you to do. You are not going to follow man because man, fallen nature, will seek all kinds of things. You humble yourself and do this.
14:20 Brothers and sisters, remember the most important thing is the glory of God is in you. The faith of Jesus Christ is in you. The love of God is in you.
14:29 Let us now work and do things in his name and glorify his name. In Jesus name I pray, amen.
